The next morning, His Majesty the Emperor received Jiang Yu in the Long Live Palace.

Jiang Yu has not officially returned to Taiwan to resume his life, so he did not participate in the early dynasty, farewell to the years, in the long live hall to see His Majesty the Emperor again, just after a big salute, the eyes have been rosy.

Seeing that Jiang Yu looked like a shriveled little old man who was not old and decrepit, His Majesty the Emperor also felt a little pity, and the so-called anger in his heart and sent Jiang Yu away was just a joke.

At that time, Xingtai not only needed to deal with Saihu who came from the south to plunder, but also the state of Hebei was also ready to move and was about to go south, so Liangzhou could only send his cronies and courtiers to be more restrained. At that time, the emperor's side was naturally the most suitable for Jiang Yu. As for the Zhang brothers' disagreement after that, Liangzhou fell into division, and Jiang Yu had to stay for a long time, which was also an unexpected accident.

"It's really hard to think about it, if it weren't for your hard work in the past few years, the cold things would have affected Guanlong and delayed the war in China."

The emperor's praise was not an exaggeration, Jiang Yu and Yu Manzhi used both humanities and military forces, so that the impact of the turmoil in Liangzhou was limited to Liangzhou alone, and did not endanger the situation in Guanlong. This enabled the Guanlong side to come out in large groups and suppress the people of the state, so that the bandits in the north could not cross the Taihang Mountain and connect, so that the Wang Shi could be defeated separately.

If the situation in Liangzhou was not effectively controlled at that time, or it would not have allowed Xingtai to fall into complete passivity, it would have slowed down the pace of the entire Northern Expedition a lot. Because it was the occasion of the new dynasty's conferral ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor did not ignore Jiang Yu's merit, making him one of the county dukes who were knighted for his merits.

Putting aside the rest, Jiang Yu was naturally extremely grateful to His Majesty the Emperor. In the old years, he was in Jiangdong, but he was an ordinary member of the family, and because his father died too early, his relatives had already withered and could not help him stand on his own.

It was after gaining the appreciation of the Shen family that his whole life took a great turn, not only did he start a family, but His Majesty the Emperor also gave him ample opportunities to show his talents.

Of course, being left on the cold side for several years, missing many major events in China in the next few years, it is inevitable to lose in my heart, but on the way back, I learned that I had been crowned the county prince of the new dynasty, and the gratitude in Jiang Yu's heart for the death of a confidant was simply incomprehensible.

Where there's a will, there's a way, and nothing can stop the wanderer from returning home, so if there is, pack it up and take it with you. Yes, the reason why Jiang Yu was able to return to Luoyang was that he directly encouraged Zhang Jun's heir, Zhang Chonghua, to return east with him.

After curbing his excitement a little, Jiang Yu began to tell the story of his feat from the beginning.

The chaos in Liangzhou is also very simple to say, and the small family is just a competition between the elders and the young. Zhang Zuo, who made trouble in Liangzhou, is the eldest son of Zhang Junshu, although he is old, but Zhang Jun still ordered his heir Zhang Chonghua to inherit his Liangzhou foundation when he was dying. Zhang Zuo was dissatisfied with his own nothing, so he brazenly raised troops into chaos.

The reason why this matter is complicated is also because of the overly complicated entanglement of local forces in Liangzhou itself. Far away in the west, there are many local indigenous clans, as well as Chinese characters who fled from the west in the early years, and of course, a large number of Qiangqi and other border tribes are involved.

Jiang Yu has stayed in Liangzhou for many years, and he has already had an in-depth understanding of the entanglement of many forces.

Among these forces, the closest to the Tianzhong imperial court are naturally those Chinese who moved west to avoid trouble, similar to Longshang Daru Guo He, who responded to the expedition of Xingtai and went east to Luo before the establishment of the Great Liang, and other people who avoided disasters even if they could not return east for a while, they all hoped that Liangzhou and Tianzhong Chaotang would be more closely connected.

There are also those who are fierce and fierce, their intentions are also very simple, they are nothing more than milk and mothers, they value short-term profits, and they do not have any lofty political plans.

As for the local indigenous clans in Liangzhou, their position is actually very delicate, they not only use the Zhuxia crown to lead the clan to self-standardize, but also do not want to be completely controlled by the powerful court, hoping to maintain a certain degree of independence.

In the infighting of the Zhang family, Zhang Chonghua was the heir of Zhang Jun who was recognized by the imperial court, because he also won the support of those who fled west.

At the same time, the vast majority of the indigenous portals of Liangzhou also support Zhang Chonghua, regardless of factors such as the attitude of the imperial court, Zhang Zuo bullied his heirs, which originally violated the patriarchal concept that these big clans adhered to, not to mention that his people brazenly raised troops and made a big deal in the state, which directly broke the situation that the Liangzhou clans worked hard to maintain nothing in the state.

But Zhang Zuo is not without supporters, and many members of the Zhang clan who have been suppressed for a long time due to local portals to limit Zhang's authority are now headed by Zhang Zuo. There are also some marginal figures of the indigenous clans in Liangzhou, plus Zhang Zuo is trying to win over a group of Qianghu people in the west, because their power should not be underestimated.

The two sides each occupy half of Liangzhou and have been holding each other for several years. And behind this confrontation, there is actually no shortage of rat traps, because they are worried that the loss of each other's strength is too serious, so that Wang Shi has the opportunity to fully intervene in the internal strife in Liangzhou. It has to be said that the Liangzhou forces of the Zhang clan, which takes the clan as the inheritance unit, are now divided into two factions, one is good and the other is rebellious, which is indeed in line with the political aesthetics of the big clan to make a living in troubled times.

Therefore, in the past few years, the confrontation between the two sides has been most intense and has stayed at each other's condemnation, and as for the real war, it has never happened at all.

But the Zhang family can afford it, but Jiang Yu can't afford it, he is really tired of staying in Liangzhou to watch the two fight. Especially with the success of the Northern Expedition and the determination of China, the Tianzhong Imperial Court has been able to allocate enough energy to deal with the border affairs of Liangzhou, and Jiang Yu is even more reluctant to waste time here.

Don't look at the current Liangzhou Zhang brothers are making a lot of trouble with each other, but if Wang Shi really wants to intervene strongly and send troops directly, the next step for the two sides may be to shake hands and make peace. The trade-off is not focused on the Zhang brothers, but on the support forces behind each of them.

Especially those indigenous clans in Liangzhou, they are actually afraid to talk directly with the center, so they need to stand up to the Zhang family's lordship, in order to obtain a political situation that allows them to advance and retreat.

Because of this, Jiang Yu simply drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly said that Zhang Chonghua would be attached to the center. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of skill, not the pros and cons can be said to move Zhang Chonghua, after all, in Liangzhou he is a relatively independent foreign vassal lord, but once he goes to Tianzhong, he can only be His Royal Highness as a minister.

The methods and techniques used by Jiang Yu do not need to be described in detail, but the result is that Zhang Chonghua finally decided to follow Jiang Yu's advice and led the crowd eastward into the sky after several trade-offs.

After Zhang Chonghua left Liangzhou, for the central court, the situation in Liangzhou could be described as suddenly bright. From Wang Shi's point of view, for the Zhang Zuo forces that still exist in Liangzhou, there is only the question of when to crusade, and there is no moral consideration.

Therefore, when Jiang Yu reported the progress of the situation in Liangzhou to Taichung, His Majesty the Emperor was also quite pleased, and sent people to make proper arrangements along the way to ensure that Zhang Chonghua could arrive in Luoyang smoothly.

Zhang Chonghua's return to Luo was of great significance to the emerging Liang court. His internal investment not only provided Wang Shi with a more direct way to solve the Liangzhou problem, but also Zhang Chonghua can be said to be the first leader of the border domain forces to vote in the new Liang Dynasty.

For the Liang Imperial Court, which widely embraced Shenzhou Zhuxia, the Liangzhou problem was not the most important, but as long as it existed, it was a thorn in the flesh, even if it didn't hurt, it would feel a sting, and it would directly affect many business creations in Guanlong.

Moreover, whether the Liangzhou regime is recovered or not is also of great moral significance. Under the special background of the Yongjia disaster, although Liangzhou is located on the border and independent of the disaster, it also accommodates many Zhuxia people and inherits their culture.

Originally, in history, the return of the Liang Shi to the east can be said to have greatly promoted the process of sinicization of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even gave birth to the Sui and Tang Empires, and even the Tang Dynasty directly traced the Western Liang Li regime as the forerunner. The inheritance of Zhuxia has been in one vein for thousands of years, inheriting the past and the future, and it has been passed on repeatedly, and the Qianliang regime is an element that cannot be ignored in it.

At present, although Zhongzhou has just experienced a large-scale Northern Expedition, the new dynasty system needs to be built, and the people's livelihood needs to be restored, it is not so much that it cannot even support a regional Liangzhou war.

Because when Jiang Yu and others embarked on the way home, the center made corresponding arrangements, and the situation in Bingzhou was maintained by the Hongwu Army and the Zhenwu Army in situ, and all the soldiers of Guanzhong returned to the town.

As for the veteran Guo Yu, he also hurriedly returned to Chang'an after participating in the ceremony, and the new governor of the Guanlong Military Region and the governor of Longyou, Yu Man, will officially launch a crusade against Zhang Zuo in Liangzhou in the spring of next year at the latest.

Having said that, His Majesty the Emperor also had to sigh that the family was unscrupulous. Regarding the Liangzhou issue, he initially envisioned that it would be mainly fetters and restraints, after all, the attitude of Zhang Jun and his son towards the center was acceptable, and there was no principled contradiction between the two sides.

But now it seems that there is no need for this. The prestige and popular support of the Zhang family in Liangzhou for several generations have been almost consumed in this years-long infighting, and only a little bit will be realized as Zhang Chonghua's internal investment center, which will also become a layer of protection for his people to gain a foothold in the new dynasty, and the Zhang regime has no foundation and need to stay in Liangzhou.

His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Yu had a long discussion, mainly about the governance of the local clans after the recovery of Liangzhou. These Liangzhou indigenous gateways, because they are far to the west, are different from those old families in Hebei.

It is true that their independence has a certain obstacle to the implementation of the central government decree, but on the other hand, it is precisely because of their stubborn roots and family business that the Liangzhou area has not completely degenerated into a paradise of Hulu.

Moreover, now that Zhuxia is in ruins, the population has suffered serious losses, and the north and south are in the predicament of insufficient strength, it is even more impossible to blindly make a large-scale migration to the frontier without regard for their hearts. Therefore, Liangzhou's real sowing and transformation into governance, this is destined to be left to the children to create a meritorious work, even if His Majesty the Emperor is ambitious today, but the recovery of population and vitality must also pay a long cycle.

In this way, those indigenous portals in Liangzhou still have the value of maintaining bonds, after all, they are the same as the same species. If they are suppressed too much, and the development of the follow-up center cannot keep up, it will only cheapen those marginal hulu to take advantage of this.

Of course, it is not to be blindly connived. After some discussion, His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Yu summed up three ideas to strengthen the connection between the indigenous sects of Liangzhou and Zhongzhou, cultural attraction and tolerance, military co-optation and scheduling, and profit sharing in commerce and trade.

Through these points, the Liang Shi who were free from the outside were gradually integrated and became an inseparable part of the ruling ecology of Zhuxia.
