Liu Zheng was still immersed in the emotion of reunited with Qin Changfeng after a long absence. When he suddenly heard Qin Changfeng's words, he suddenly became much more awake.
Two routes?
He picked up the wine that Pei Yanran poured for him and smiled.
He didn't need to ask Qin Changfeng to guess what the two routes Qing Yangshuo was talking about.
1. Xie Tianyao passed away, probably within a short period of time. This time, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of dying. His body mechanism has gradually become necrotic. Unless the dead wood comes into spring and the Da Luo Jinxian comes to the world, even Liu Zheng will not be able to survive. Can't save him. So, under this situation, Jinghua must have become treacherous, intrigues, and even started fighting openly and secretly. If Liu Zheng wants to participate in the change of political situation, as a representative of the new aristocracy, he should return to Beijing immediately to at least find his own sense of presence and participation.
Second, instead of going to the chaotic and intrigue-filled Beijing, Liu Zheng might as well take a detour back to Liangzhou, reorganize his armaments, and wait for the chaos in the world. Regarding Liu Zheng's character positioning, this is also the most scientific and most consistent choice for a warlord. On the one hand, I can completely protect my own safety. On the other hand, Xie Tianyao is about to die anyway, and everyone is waiting and watching. It is appropriate for me to hang up alone.
only.
Both routes have pros and cons.
Going to Jinghua will naturally put you in dire straits. It is normal to be cautious every step of the way and to be assassinated by cold arrows from time to time. Even accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If Xie Tianyao wants to clean up Liu Zheng on a whim, this will be a fate that he cannot escape. However, in Beijing, Liu Zheng can grasp political trends in real time and respond in real time, so as not to go to war in the future and cause chaos in the world.
When you return to Liangzhou, your own safety will definitely be guaranteed to the maximum extent. Considering the current strength of Liangzhou, no one in Long Yan dares to offend him. But the disadvantage is that if the new aristocratic force in Beijing is missing Liu Zheng, it will be equivalent to missing a backbone. Moreover, the most important thing is that Xie Chan is still in Beijing... If Liu Zheng is not there, no matter who comes to power, Zheng Fu and Xie Chan will definitely be the first to be cleared.
Liu Zheng looked at Qin Changfeng with a smile: "Sir, you sent Brother Qin here and brought three thousand elite soldiers on this ship. He must have gone astray."
Qin Changfeng laughed loudly: "Master, why don't you go back to Liangzhou, strengthen your troops, and fight again, how happy it will be!"
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng shook his head and said shockingly: "I still have to go to Beijing."
"What?"
"Son..."
Not only Qin Changfeng, but also Pei Yanran, who was next to him, frowned slightly at this time. As smart as she was, they felt that going to Beijing at this time was not a wise choice. After all, if Liu Zheng returns to Liangzhou, it will actually be a disguised support for the new nobles in Jinghua. The presence of the Liangzhou army can completely offset the impact of his absence in Beijing.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Brother, sister-in-law, you only look at one, not the other. Considering the general trend of the world now..."
He took another sip of wine: "One, if I don't go, the emperor will not die."
The two people's expressions changed slightly after hearing this.
Although these words were very simple to say, they represented Liu Zheng's absolute confidence at this time.
Yes.
If he was not in Beijing, Xie Tianyao would not die so easily. Although it was destiny, if he held back his last breath, he might risk his life and not be able to kill Liu Zheng, but if he wanted to kill and cripple the new aristocratic forces now, there would still be no problem at all. So, he must go.
"Two, if I don't go, the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce will inevitably be paralyzed."
"this……"
"What?"
This sentence really frightened Qin Changfeng and Pei Yanran.
Liu Zheng smiled.
Do you really think that the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce is omnipotent? In an official-based society, the status of businessmen is far behind. The Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce, with such a large size, is based on the land of Longyan. The entire chamber of commerce has its headquarters, distribution, logistics transfer, and inns.
With Xie Tianyao's city and character, these must have been closely monitored by the imperial court. If there was any trouble, the officers and soldiers would come out to control these, and they would completely control the lifeblood of Liangzhou.
Of course, this situation generally does not happen. Because once it happens, it means that Liangzhou will rebel.
"three……"
Finally, Liu Zheng took a deep breath: "If I don't go to Beijing, Xie Chan will die."
This time.
Qin Changfeng and Pei Yanran finally looked at each other in shock.
Must die?
At first, they didn't know why.
It came to mind later.
If Liu Zheng does not go to Beijing, then Xie Chan, who has been promoted as the second empress in Long Yan's history, will surely die. Either, he was sentenced to death by Xie Tianyao, and he would never allow it, with one Liu Zheng in Liangzhou and one Xie Chan in Beijing, responding to each other so far away... Or, he failed to seize the rightful son and was killed by his political enemies.
Good guy.
Qin Changfeng's scalp went numb after hearing this.
Pei Yanran's eyes were also burning.
The most talented woman in Sichuan and Sichuan realized at this time that no matter how smart a woman is, she is indeed much worse than a man in terms of the overall situation.
"So, this time, Jinghua is a must-go!"
Pei Yanran also took a deep breath.
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Sir, you should also bring me a dossier."
Qin Changfeng and Pei Yanran looked at each other with a wry smile again.
This young man of my own is really amazing! It seemed like nothing could be hidden from him.
And he and Qing Yangshuo, who was far away in Liangzhou, seemed to have a certain tacit understanding.
Qin Changfeng said nothing, took out a file from his body and handed it to Liu Zheng.
This is a military distribution map of all the major states in the current Longyan Dynasty.
As well as their recent recruitment activities, troop reinforcements, and the bills for purchasing weapons and equipment from Yintan City or the Western Region Transit Center in the past year... This stuff was all obtained through the big data center in Liangzhou. If At every stage of history, with this thing, the emperor could directly kill several vassal princes and military envoys!
But at this time.
In Liu Zheng's place, it was so easy to get it.
This is the charm of big data!
Nowadays, several major states in Long Yan have obvious political stances.
For example, Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and Sichuan-Shu. These three places are obviously the back gardens of the new aristocracy represented by Liu Zheng. In addition, Qingzhou, which is very important, is also the territory of King Wei, a member of the new aristocracy. In addition, Liaodong is currently engaged in the industrial revolution. Of course, Liaodong has not received much attention from others and has not stationed many troops.
There are also Western Regions and Jinzhou.
The power of the new nobles has been coveted and vigilant by everyone.
Then the old nobles were no less generous.
Pingzhou and Bingzhou of King Lu, as well as Jingzhou, the key part of Longyan, as well as Yuzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, were all the spheres of influence of the old nobles.
What about the scholar-bureaucrats?
Although it seems that they only occupy a larger proportion in the southern region, including Wudi, Yangzhou and Xuzhou.
but.
Who makes people rich...
If you are wealthy, you will have money to station troops and raise horses.
As early as a year ago, these major states began to mobilize their troops and deliberately launched some restrictive actions against Liangzhou.
