Compared with the changes in Jiangbei, the situation in Jiangdong has been much calmer in the past few years. Taicheng basically maintains the old style, and there are no major changes.

Several important ministers who stayed in Taicheng, Shang Shu and Wei Chong advocated flashy discussions, and they were happy to live in their posts. Zhongshu made Zhong Ya a little diligent in government affairs, and cooperated with Xingtai to continue to implement the rectification of officials in various counties and counties in Jiangdong. Guanglu Gu is dying, and spends more than half of the year recuperating in the house.

There are also some high-minded and virtuous people in the north and south, who have benefited from the magnificent progress of the Jiangbei Wangshi, and have been honored in high positions in Taiwan, and have won many awards, and they are not dissatisfied with the current situation.

In the past few years, there have also been some less advanced currents in Jiankang City, such as Peiguo Liu Yi who talks about Yasheng, Yingchuan Xunxian who has outstanding style, and Jiyin Bian Di who is self-denying and courteous. These people are either in charge of the Taiwan Cabinet or under the establishment of the Mansion, and they are also all virtuous and famous, and are regarded as the reserve force of the future Taicheng.

However, these people who stay in Jiankang usually have a problem, that is, they do not have the blessing of meritorious deeds, especially at the level of a wide range of current discussions, they are far inferior to their peers in Luoyang Xingtai of similar age, so they are only regarded as second- and third-rate candidates, even if they have some fame, they are only circulated in a small circle and cannot be recognized by the world.

Because of the existence of the Luoyang Xingtai Hegemony, as soon as the king's edict was issued in the sky, Jiankang Taicheng inevitably had a virtual meaning. However, this situation is more in line with the quiet and inactive governance advocated by those Xuanxuan personnel at the beginning of Zhongxing.

Although the way this situation was reached did not conform to the assumptions of those overseas Chinese sages in previous years, the final situation was more in line with expectations, and it can also be said that it was another form of different paths.

The situation in Taicheng is quiet and idle, almost lonely, but the situation of the people is improving day by day, and the people's hearts are stable.

Although Jiangdong is a place of partial peace, since the southern crossing of Zhongxing, there is really no picture of partial peace. From the early years of the rebellion to the later gate valve power, turmoil was frequent, and the people of Jiangdong rarely enjoyed a long period of peace. It was not until the coup d'état in Jiankang a few years ago that General Shen returned to the country to settle the chaos and pacify the internal and external affairs, and since then, Jiangdong no longer has the worry of sword and soldier turmoil.

Although the military operations of the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition never stopped, most of these military incidents occurred only in the north of the Yellow River or west of Tongguan, and Jiangdong itself was completely unaffected.

Of course, it does not mean that there is nothing to do in Jiangdong itself, similar to Shanyue in the south of Huiji and Jiangzhou, there are still occasional riots, but the scale is not large, and there is no tendency to spread at all, so they are extinguished by the county soldiers stationed in various places.

With the increasing stability of Jiangbei County, many overseas Chinese have moved back in batches, which has also made all kinds of overseas Chinese disputes less and less. The Wu Township Tycoons led by the Shen family also persisted in releasing shade households and slaves, and after these populations were exempted, the local counties and counties were able to add a large number of labor force to reclaim the wasteland, and the local business became more and more effective.

With the progress of this kind of local affairs, the counties and counties of Jiangzhou have left behind the Sanwu area, which is the core of Jiangdong, which is also because the original development of Sanwu is much higher than that of Jiangzhou.

The so-called treasury is surplus, and households have surplus grain. With a stable living environment and a large area of barren land to be cultivated, the people naturally spared no effort to cultivate and weave diligently, and celebrated the prosperity of the world. For example, the trend of groups of displaced people in previous years has gradually disappeared in Jiangdong.

In order to increase their political achievements, but there are not many dead households to appease, many local officials inevitably want to turn their minds on the barbarians in the mountains and wilderness. He drove those people out of the mountains, taught them to cultivate and weave, and made them naturalized.

After a long period of turmoil, the people know more about the value of peace and stability, and they hate all kinds of chaotic deeds. Even if there are strong and strong people in the countryside who are not resentful, and the king's law is becoming more and more rigorous and harsh, harming their township capital, it will not be able to incite civil unrest at all.

Even if such chaos occurs occasionally, and even without waiting for the imperial court to react and mobilize troops to quell the rebellion, there is no shortage of villagers who directly report and kill these riotous villagers. It's not because these villagers are more respectful and polite, but they are worried that these villagers will break their long-awaited and hard-won stable life.

If this is the case, even if there are people in Taicheng who are unwilling to be lonely and want to use the name of Kuangfu Chaogang to boost the emperor's authority and strengthen the central authority and wrestle with Luoyang Xingtai, there is no one to correspond at all.

Regardless of loyalty and traitor for the time being, at least they can't even pass the emperor's level.

In the first year or two of the establishment of Luoyang Xingtai, it was not that no one wrote a book, admonishing General Shen that his position was too great, and he was strong, especially the physique of the Wu people, who might not be able to win the support of the northern times, and suggested that the imperial court still needed to appoint overseas Chinese talents to lead the Northern Expedition.

Regardless of the intention, at least one practical obstacle cannot be achieved, that is, after the coup d'état in Jiangdong, several overseas Chinese families were deeply involved, but almost all those with a little talent were spared, and there was no one who could share the affairs of the Northern Expedition with General Shen.

And the most important point in this is the emperor's statement: "I and Liang Gong, personal feelings, relatives and brothers." In terms of the public, I am not the lord of virtue, there have been many military disasters, Liang Gongshu has helped the Ding industry to die and turbulent, and the country is in the dust. Ancient virtuous ministers, not past this number.

In the world, the sages of the people and ministers are not superior to the people of Zhongxing, and the virtue of me is far inferior to that of the first emperor. The first emperor chose Liang Gong at the end of the micro-end, rewarded and trusted, and then made the revival of the society to achieve the merit of the Zhongxing group of sages. The facts are there, and there is no reason to blame. I am not a stubborn lord, and I can't bear this kind of admonition! ”

Even the emperor expressed his support for Liang Gong so clearly, and even did not hesitate to move out of Suzu, even if the ministers still had any reveries and objections, they did not dare to move to the open to proclaim and discuss.

It's just that there are still many people in private who are worried about the country and the people, sighing that this world is not the way of prosperity of the king, before the number of powerful ministers over the authority of the monarch, and now Liang Gong Shen Weizhou is even doubled, relying on relatives and relatives to rely on merit and public hope, itself has reached the point that the previous generations of powerful ministers have not reached, and now the emperor is obscure and obscure, and forcibly obstructs the way.

In the future, even if the Northern Expedition is successful, Liang Gong will have more wings than he will have more wings, and when the eagle wolf posture is revealed, there will be no one in the world to control Wu Er.

The emperor did not hear such remarks, and there were moments when he confessed his heart to those close to him in private.

"Although I am not the master of eloquence and judgment, I am lucky to have the material of one or two people. Anyone with insight can see the future, how can I not know? Since ancient times, the change of position did not begin with the story of this dynasty. The sinister and tragic among them makes people dare not think deeply, probably the virtue and strength are not compatible, how can the mandate of heaven be kept? ”

There are not many people close to the emperor, and the only ones who can hear his sigh are Empress Wei and a few others: "The extension of the Later Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms stand side by side, or there are heroic deeds to boast of, it is nothing more than tyrannical world and harm to the people." There is a reason why the ancestors won the country, but then the virtue gradually declined, and the ancestors did not miss the society at all. God's grace has gone around, and the disaster is not only in the family, but also in the world. ”

"The great calamity that has not been seen in the summer has given birth to my family, and I am not a stupid and stubborn person, how dare I be beautiful with virtue again. In addition, Zhongzong won the position, and he was already standing on the occasion of human affection, and he could shine without merit and virtue. Because of my father's great talent, he was able to gather national strength and not collapse people's feelings. But I really don't have such ambition, I inherit this position, and I will suffer constantly when I am young, and the longer I go, how can I not know the weight of the top position, and the truth that it is difficult to support the loneliness? ”

Every time he talks about this, there is little grief and anger between the emperor's eyebrows, which shows that all kinds of encounters since he was a child have also made him more and more aware of the reality: "The world is really unfair, I was originally lacking in ambition, but I had no choice but to be born in this family." My brother-in-law's talent and courage are excellent choices, but he grew up in a remote place in Wu Township. People may be said to be eagles and wolves are not far away, so why is this not a matter of course in the world? ”

"In the past years, I was first at the mercy of my uncle, and then reprimanded by my mother, and I was not able to have a day of independence. Even if it is now in the hands of my brother-in-law, it is just the norm of the old customs. The rest of the world ridicules me and ridicules me, how many of them can donate themselves? I don't love the big position, I don't love the ancestral industry, but the foundation is corrupted, the heavenly family is lost early, and the trouble of the revolution does not start with me, the ancestors have spirits, and they will not complain about me because of this. ”

"The society has been passed down to this day, how dare I, the so-called human master, have a great wish for thousands of lifetimes? There is no merit in front of him, but he wants to be famous behind him. Wang Ye drifted to Jiangzuo, fortunately because of his brother-in-law, a talented man who aspires to the world, because of his life experience, in the name of my righteousness, he cleaned up the world and built a golden urn. If the loss of virtue in the middle of the day can finally be in this life, even if the great position is lost, I can have no regrets in this life. ”

The emperor can tell these private things that must not be told to others with a flat demeanor, but the listener feels frightened when he hears it, even if Empress Wei has been raised in the boudoir for a long time, she also understands that the twists and turns behind these words will never be as plain as the emperor said, and the danger even makes people dare not think deeply: "Even if Your Majesty is benevolent, Liang Gong may not feel it......

When the emperor heard this, he laughed proudly: "If it is really as the queen said, I can win my brother-in-law with a small mind, which can really be called a happy deed." But I also have a self-thought in my leisure, and the remnants left by my ancestors are probably not enough to embarrass him. If half of today's power is concentrated in his hands, even if he is difficult to control the spirit of the eagle wolf in the future, how to protect his reputation is also something he should worry about, even if he can't take it, the infamy should be borne by him. I had a bad life when I was young, and I rarely had happiness in my life, but now I have only a few years of leisure, and I am afraid that the time for pleasure will not wait, how can I have time to worry for him. ”()
