Early the next morning, Duan Da came with Qian Wuliang to report, as Yang Guang expected, under Qian Wuliang's repeated insistence, the person sent by the Great Bodhisattva to pick up the money took out a belt of Qian Zhen, the father of Qian Wuliang, and a handwritten letter written by Qian Zhen to Qian Wuliang as evidence that the Qian clan was in their hands, and at the same time, Duan Da handed over the 100,000 "Five Plants of the Emperor" to the person who came according to Yang Guang's instructions.

"This gang of robbers is very shrewd. They must have prepared more than one boat on the river, one docked at the Yanbo ferry to pick up the money, and the other watched the wind in the middle of the river, but fortunately, the prince only ordered the last general to bring ten sergeants to accompany Mr. Qian, otherwise they would have seen the flaw. After Duan Da reported to Yang Guang about the contact with the robbers, he still didn't forget to take the opportunity to compliment Yang Guang.

"Did you send someone to keep an eye on the ship that received the money?" Yang Guang ordered Qian Wuliang to retreat first, leaving Duan Da alone and asked.

"Everything has been done according to the prince's orders, and it can't run." Duan Da replied firmly.

Last night, Yang Guang had decided to adopt Pei Yun's suggestion, and sent people to eastern Zhejiang overnight to contact Li Jing's department to quickly find out the ins and outs of the robbers' ransom for money.

On the same day, Master Zhiqi, who learned the true cause of Master Jingxu's death from Yang Guang yesterday, suddenly came to Yang Guang to bid farewell, claiming that he could not rest assured that Senior Brother Dujing would leave Jiankang and return to Tiantai Mountain on the same day.

Yang Guang repeatedly retained Master Zhiqi to live in Jiankang for a few more days on the grounds that yesterday's day was not beautiful, and he had not invited Master Zhiqi to participate in the memorial of the Xie sages, but Zhiqi had already made up his mind, and in desperation, Yang Guang had to personally go out of the city to send Zhiqi back to the south, and before parting, he reluctantly invited Zhiqi to go to Guangling again after disposing of the affairs in the temple, and Zhiqi only smiled faintly and did not answer.

On the way back to the city after bidding farewell to Zhiqi, Yang Guang repeatedly pondered why Zhiqi would rebel, suddenly violated the promise he had made to himself, and refused to stay in Jiankang to participate in the ceremony of commemorating the ancestors of the Xie family before leaving, until he returned to the door of the pavilion where he stayed, he suddenly realized something, so he turned over and dismounted in front of the door, ordered someone to call Zhang Heng quickly, and instructed him in person: "Today you will lead your subordinates to withdraw from Jiang Mountain, and pass on the words of this king, all the people in the official government, except for the descendants of the Xie family, They are not allowed to participate in the ceremonies to commemorate the ancestors of the Xie family, and everything is handled by the descendants of the Xie family. ”

"If the prince decides to cancel the arrangement of going to Jiangshan to preside over the memorial ceremony out of his own safety, Jianping has no objection. However, I don't know why the prince passed down the king's order, ordering all the officials and others not to participate in the ceremony? Jiangshan's Xie clan ancestral hall was the first to be rebuilt! Rao was also puzzled by Yang Guang's sudden decision with Zhang Heng's mind.

"The ancestors of the Xie family have sought a lot of benefits for the people of Jiangnan, won the hearts of the people, and the Xie ancestral hall was destroyed in Nanchen, the court should rebuild the ancestral hall for the Xie family, and the lintel of the glorified door, however, the matter of paying tribute to the ancestors, this king after careful consideration, feels that it is appropriate for the descendants of the Xie family to run it themselves, Jianping, what do you say? You shall have two days to withdraw all those who have prepared the ceremony, and in three days the king will convene you to discuss the matter. Yang Guang replied in a non-negotiable tone.

Zhang Heng faintly guessed from the change in Yang Guang's attitude that there must be another reason, so he no longer insisted on what he had seen, and promised to do everything according to Yang Guang's orders.

According to Yang Guang's final decision, Zhang Heng led hundreds of government officials who were preparing for the memorial ceremony to withdraw from Jiangshan to Jiankang, and Xie Wei and other descendants of the Xie family presided over the ceremony to commemorate his ancestors. Three days later, the ceremony was held in the rebuilt Xie ancestral hall, although the scale and scene were much smaller than the original plan, but the descendants of the Xie family presided over the memorial to their ancestors seemed more sincere, and also saved a lot of red tape, but caused a greater impact and played a better effect in the people of Jiangnan.

While paying tribute to his ancestors in Jiangshan with the descendants of the Xie family, in the public hall of the governor's mansion in Jiankang City, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was convening the civil and military officials to discuss how to sincerely create greater benefits for the people of Jiangnan.

In order to gather wisdom, as early as two or three days ago, when Yang Guang decided to convene this important meeting, he sent people to order that all the officials of all prefectures and counties within 300 miles of Jiankang must rush to Jiankang to attend the meeting.

Although there were many officials who were ordered to attend the meeting, only a handful of people dared to frankly admit what they had seen at the meeting and offered advice to Yang Guang. Even under Yang Guang's repeated urging and encouragement, there were two people who had the courage to say a few words at first glance, but they still complimented Yang Guang a lot and offered few suggestions.

In the end, Zhang Heng saw that it was difficult to meet Yang Guang's expectations for this meeting, so he first broke the deadlock and got up to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in Jianping's humble opinion, the intention of the prince to convene this meeting is to sincerely solicit from you good ideas for governing Jiangnan and seeking well-being for the people of Jiangnan. Since you are unwilling to speak, then Jianping will throw bricks and lead the way first. ”

Everyone attending the meeting today knows that Zhang Heng is the number one strategist around Yang Guang, and as soon as he speaks, the court immediately became silent, and everyone stretched their necks to hear what Zhang Heng had to say.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Heng said eloquently: "Jianping followed the prince to garrison Guangling and pacify Jiangnan, and it has been more than a year since then, during which he personally participated in the recruitment of Confucian scholars to write books and compile books, rebuild the Xie ancestral hall and other events, and also witnessed the rebellion in Jiangnan and Lingnan being quelled by the officials and soldiers, and believed that the situation in Jiangnan was restoring calm under the control of the prince, and more people in Jiangnan were loyal to the imperial court......"

The participants were deeply disappointed when they heard Zhang Heng's opening remarks full of praise for Yang Guang, and many of them had begun to peek at the weather outside, secretly thinking about where to eat for dinner, what to eat and so on, and had no intention of listening to Zhang Heng continue.

"However, to this day, Jianping takes the liberty of asking all of you here: Under your rule, who dares to guarantee that every household can survive with food and clothing, and that most of the people are sincerely and faithfully subservient to the imperial court?" Zhang Heng suddenly changed his words and coldly asked a very sharp question to the attendees.
