"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 761
The news of the imperial envoy's arrival in Jiangnan Province spread like wildfire, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples on the calm lake.
? In the residence of the Liu family, the capital of Jiangnan province, Liu Zhiyuan, the patriarch of the Liu family, was humming a ditty and watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
The Liu family is the largest family in Jiangnan province, and there are many court officials in the family.
This time when the Qinghe army crossed the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Zhiyuan, the old patriarch, saw the weakness of the southern army and the open and secret struggles of the major families.
After thinking twice, he risked his family's fate on the Qinghe army, and took the initiative to join the Qinghe army.
Liu Zhiyuan and the others have been running Jiangnan for so many years, and they can become the largest family, and their heritage is quite profound.
Indeed, as Liu Zhiyuan expected, the Qinghe army welcomed them very much.
Liu Zhiyuan had joined the Qinghe army before, but he just wanted to step on the Qinghe army to let their Liu family's power rise to a higher level.
The Liu family has a lot of money and talents. After he took refuge in the Qinghe Army, he wanted to gradually win over the Qinghe Army's generals at all levels, corrupt the Qinghe Army, and finally let the Liu family gradually control the Qinghe Army.
As long as the Liu family gradually and secretly controlled the rebel army over a few years, their Liu family might also be able to become the overlord, which is much better than being the largest family in the province now.
When they really took refuge in the Qinghe Army, they discovered that the Qinghe Army was already a monolithic interior, not a mess of loose sand as imagined, it was not so easy to control, and they might encounter backlash.
Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan and the others also gave up their plan to evacuate Chen Ziang, the chief of the Qinghe Army, and secretly seize power, but became a vassal of the Qinghe Army peacefully.
Now Chen Ziang gave the Liu family the franchise right to sell salt, and made Liu Shuo, the young master of the Liu family, the Minister of Intelligence of the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province, which can be regarded as an added favor.
The Liu family used to be the largest family in the Jiangnan Province. Although the king's banner at the head of the city has changed, they are still the largest family in the Jiangnan Province.
The family's property is managed by the family's children, and Liu Zhiyuan, the head of the Liu family, is living a very chic life now.
"Master, the young master is back."
When Liu Zhiyuan was watering the flowers and plants in his yard, the old housekeeper stepped into the yard.
"Oh, why is he free to come back today?"
Liu Zhiyuan was quite surprised to hear that his son Liu Shuo had returned.
After all, Liu Shuo is now the Minister of Intelligence of the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province. He can be regarded as an official with real power. He is in charge of the intelligence affairs of Jiangnan Province and is quite busy.
Liu Zhiyuan was quite satisfied with his son Liu Shuo. He put down the kettle and walked to the living room in the outer courtyard.
"Shuoer, have you eaten yet?"
Seeing Liu Shuo sitting in the living room drinking tea, Liu Zhiyuan walked in and asked with concern.
"Father, I've already eaten."
"What happened?"
Seeing Liu Shuo's expression, Liu Zhiyuan guessed that something must have happened, and after turning the screen back and forth, he asked.
"The imperial court sent Sun Dong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, as the imperial envoy to the provincial capital." Liu Shuo did not hide anything, and revealed the news to his father.
"The imperial court wants to win over General Chen?"
As the patriarch of a big family, Liu Zhiyuan is also quite sensitive about this kind of thing, and immediately had his own guess.
"Master Song went to contact him. The imperial court meant that if General Chen surrendered to the imperial court, he would be named General of Counter-insurgency, and he would also serve as governor of Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces." Liu Shuo said worriedly.
"If the general really agrees to the court, our Liu family will be in danger." Liu Shuo sighed.
Their Liu family betrayed the imperial court and took the initiative to join the Qinghe army, and the imperial court hated them deeply.
If the Qinghe army had surrendered to the imperial court now, their Liu family would be quite embarrassed.
When the time comes, the imperial court will definitely deal with the Liu family overtly and secretly, and the Qinghe Army has become an army of the imperial court, and will no longer be their backer.
Liu Zhiyuan, the Patriarch of the Liu family, did not expect such a thing to happen. He also did not speak, and paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back.
"What's the general's reaction?" Liu Zhiyuan asked Liu Shuo.
Liu Shuo said: "The general is still supervising the battle in Fenglin Town, but he just passed on the word to let Mr. Song contact the people of the court."
"??Do you want to send someone to get rid of the imperial envoy? "Liu Shuo consulted his father Liu Zhiyuan for his opinion.
After all, he is now the Minister of Intelligence of the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province, and he also holds real power.
Moreover, the imperial envoy is in the capital of Jiangnan Province. As long as he is willing, it is very easy to get rid of the imperial envoy and his party.
As long as he secretly sends someone to get rid of the imperial court envoy, Chen Ziang will be cut off from the way to join the court, and their Liu family will not have to be in an embarrassing situation at that time.
"Although our Liu family is still the largest family in the Jiangnan Province, the Qinghe Army is now the master of the Jiangnan Province. We can't do things as unscrupulously as before." Liu Zhiyuan shook his head.
"Until there is no definite order from General Chen, don't act rashly, just wait and see what happens."
"But what if the general agrees to the court's wooing and submits to the court?"
Liu Shuo is very worried about this. In this way, his family will become a victim, which is not what he wants to see.
Liu Zhiyuan analyzed: "The Qinghe army and the imperial court have a deep blood feud, and it is not so easy to submit to the imperial court. Just do your own thing well and don't interfere too much in this matter."
"Then we can't do nothing, can we?"
Although Liu Shuo has always respected his father, he still has no idea that this is related to the survival of their family.
"You are the Chief of Intelligence of the Department of Public Security, and I am the head of the Liu family. Our status determines that we have no right to dictate to the Qinghe army. If we jump up and down, it will make the general displeased."
"Besides, the general's attitude is not clear now. At this time, we must not get confused."
Although Liu Shuo didn't want to just sit and wait for death, he always listened to his father Liu Zhiyuan's words.
Liu Zhiyuan told him not to act rashly, and he could only resist the idea of ??getting rid of the imperial envoy, temporarily forbearing.
"You haven't come back for a few days, I'll ask the kitchen to cook some bream you like."
Seeing his son's worried look, Liu Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder and asked him to stay for dinner.
When the Liu family decided to wait and see what happened, Yuan Jie, the commander of the Second Corps at the front line of the Tongshan Mansion in Jiangnan Province, also received the news that the imperial envoy had arrived at the provincial capital.
"The imperial court really has a good plan."
Hearing that the imperial court appointed Chen Zi'ang as a general to counter the rebellion and concurrently as the governor of Jiangbei and Jiangnan Provinces, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Why did the commander of the regiment say that?"
"The imperial court appointed the general as the general to counter the rebellion, nothing more than wanting the general to lead the army to fight against the four princes, and become a sword of the imperial court. A worthless title can be exchanged for more than 100,000 elite troops. Do you want to fight? A good idea?"
"However, the imperial court also allowed the general to concurrently serve as governor of Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces. This is unprecedented in history."
"Hmph, now the Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces are all in the hands of my Qinghe army. Even if the imperial court is not closed, isn't the general the governor of Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces?"
"Emotional court is trying to white wolf with empty hands?"
"What do you think?"
"The imperial court is really despicable and shameless!"
When they first heard so many titles from the imperial court, some people still felt that the imperial court was generous.
However, after hearing such an analysis from the head of the Corps, Yuan Jie, he suddenly felt that the imperial court was too dishonest, without any sincerity.
