Three Kingdoms King of the North

Han Zhan thought to himself, it is impossible to say that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and several ministers present did not know about his return to Yecheng.The only explanation is that they are worried that they will become Dong Zhuo and others, so they deliberately neglect themselves to see how they will react, so as to plan ahead.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I just rushed back to Yecheng today." Han Zhan said respectfully: "A few days ago, I planned to go to Jizhou City in person to welcome the holy driver to Yecheng. But halfway, I suddenly heard that The North Sea was besieged by the Yellow Turban bandits, and I was worried that the night would be full of dreams, so I immediately led troops to rescue. If you are rude to Your Majesty, please forgive me."

After Han Xiandi waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he gave a dry laugh, and then asked, "I wonder if the yellow scarves who besieged Beihai were ever defeated?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Kong Rong immediately replied when he heard the question from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, "As soon as Jizhou Mu's army arrived, the yellow scarf thieves who besieged Beihai City immediately dispersed."

The reason why Han Zhan brought Kong Rong to Yecheng was that he didn't want him to continue serving as the prefect of Beihai. As long as Kong Rong was not allowed to return to Beihai, the soldiers and horses he left there could easily take the city.Thinking of this, Han Zhan hurriedly said to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, Kong Beihai is highly respected by everyone and can be called a famous minister of the generation. It would be a bit too condescending to serve as a small prefect. I implore Your Majesty to keep Kong Beihai in the court." Serve in the middle."

Regarding Han Zhan's proposal, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know what official position Han Qing's family intends to recommend Kong Qing's family to take?"

Han Zhan recalled Kong Rong's resume, and remembered that after he left Beihai and entered the imperial court, he seemed to be a master craftsman.Although Han Zhan didn't understand what this official position was, he still said to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "I think that Kong Beihai can be awarded the position of master craftsman."

"Zuza!" It may be that the puppet emperor has been in power for a long time. As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Emperor Han Xian couldn't wait to say: "Just follow Han Aiqing's play, and appoint Kong Qing's family as the masters of the court."

Kong Rong, who was promoted secretly, changed from a prefect with real power to a master craftsman with only an empty title but no real power.Although he was dissatisfied with Han Zhan in his heart, he didn't dare to explode, and quickly knelt down to thank him: "Mr., thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Han Zhan saw that he casually mentioned the official position of reward, Emperor Xian of Han did it without any discount, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud.But when he saw the livid faces of Yang Biao, Zhu Jun, Zhao Qi, Ma Rizun and others, he immediately realized that these former allies had begun to separate themselves from him after Han Xiandi entered Yecheng.

But Han Zhan is not Dong Zhuo, even if he sees someone who opposes him, he will not use extreme means to behead the opponent or the barbarian tribe.Instead, use reason to persuade people, and try their best to persuade the other party to agree with your point of view.

Han Zhanchao arched his hands to the four important ministers, and asked with a smile: "My lords, the city of Ye is small and cannot be compared with the capital city. I don't know where you live, are you used to it?"

"Get used to it," as soon as Han Zhan's words came out, the four of them nodded hurriedly and said, "Compared with Chang'an, there is a world of difference. This is all thanks to Han Tinghou!"

Several people said some unnutritive words, and Han Zhan withdrew from the hall.He hurried back to his mansion and summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.After a while, all the warriors came to the chamber.

Seeing that the left and right sides of the conference hall were full of people, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. How long did it take him to drive away Yuan Shao? soldiers and horses.This would be unimaginable in the early days of time travel.

After everyone arrived, Han Zhan glanced from left to right, and from right to left.After looking at all the ministers and generals under his command, he said: "Everyone, Your Majesty has retained Kong Beihai as an official in the court, and named him a general and master craftsman. In this way, the post of prefect of Beihai County, There is a vacancy. I don’t know who is willing to recommend himself to be the prefect of Beihai?"

Among the officials present, there were many people who wanted to be the prefect of Beihai, but seeing that no one spoke, no one wanted to be this early bird, so the entire meeting hall was quiet.

In fact, if everyone didn't speak, Han Zhan had already chosen someone in his heart.He turned to Zang Hong who was sitting in the corner and said, "Zang Ziyuan, the Marquis intends to appoint you as the prefect of Beihai, what do you want?"

Zang Hong never dreamed that such a big piece of pie would suddenly fall on his head, which knocked him into a daze.It took him a long time before he was sure that he was not hallucinating, and quickly stood up and saluted Han Zhan: "Since the Fujun appointed his subordinates to be the prefect of Beihai, the subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission and manage Beihai County well for the Fujun .”

Han Zhan remembered that because of his outstanding internal affairs ability, after Yuan Shao unified the four northern states, he successively appointed Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Dongjun.Therefore, it is completely safe to hand over Beihai County to his governance.Han Zhan thought to himself, first look at his ability to govern Beihai. If it is really as powerful as recorded in the history books, it is not impossible to appoint him as the governor of Qingzhou after he takes Qingzhou.

Seeing that Han Zhan had appointed Beihai prefect without authorization, Tian Feng quickly stood up and advised him: "Master, Beihai prefect should be appointed by the imperial court, how can you go overboard?"

Through today's audience, Han Zhan found that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to be very afraid of him, and he obeyed his request.Since he can listen to himself and appoint Kong Rong as the general master, it is just a trivial matter for him to appoint Zang Hong to take over the post of Beihai prefect.

Therefore, Han Zhan said to Tian Feng: "Tian Yuanhao, don't worry, I will go to see your Majesty later, please Your Majesty formally appoint Zang Hong as the prefect of Beihai."

Seeing Han Zhan defending himself so much, Zang Hong couldn't help but said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, my subordinates must do their best to serve my lord!"

Han Zhan saw that his subordinates were so complete, so he continued to ask: "This Marquis intends to send troops to attack Qingzhou. I wonder how many months do you think it is appropriate to send troops?"

"Return to my lord." The first person to speak was Chang Shi Xunyu, who bowed and said, "In two months, Jizhou will be able to collect grain. When there is enough grain in the army, it will not be too late for us to go out and join Qingzhou. "

The date of dispatching troops has been negotiated, and the next step is to discuss who to send troops to lead the expedition.As early as more than half a year ago, Han Zhan decided to let Zhao Yun and Xun You lead troops to attack Qingzhou. Now that there are many more soldiers under his command, Han Zhan decided to add a few more deputies to him, and announced in public: "Send troops to Qingzhou, Zhao Yun is the chief general, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao are the deputy generals, and Xun You is the military adviser. We can only send troops to take Qingzhou after harvesting the summer grain."

Chapter 376 Finding a Case

Han Zhan found that after returning to Yecheng, he had to deal with countless political affairs every day.After only working for two days, he felt as tired as a dog.Fortunately, he had many subordinates, so he entrusted Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and others to take charge of these political affairs.He would only ask briefly about things they couldn't handle.

After distributing the political affairs to the ministers, Han Zhan suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little too free, so he called Chen Dao, led a hundred guards, and began to patrol the city on horseback.Even as soon as he reached the west of the city, he saw that the road ahead was congested and he couldn't move at all.

Han Zhan didn't know what happened in front of him, so he quickly called Chen Dao and said, "Uncle Zhi, take someone to see what happened, and why there are so many people crowded on the street." After agreeing, he got off his horse and squeezed into the crowd with two guards, trying to squeeze forward.

It might be because there were too many people. Although Chen Dao brought two strong guards, they still struggled to get to the scene of the incident.Chen Dao saw a fat and well-dressed young man lying face down on the ground with a puddle of blood under his body.Standing next to him was a middle-aged man in his 40s, his face was covered with blood, and he was holding a two-foot-long sharp knife in his hand.

"What's going on, what happened here?" Chen Dao squeezed closer and asked loudly, "Who can tell me what happened here?"

Someone knew Chen Dao and knew that he was the general in charge of Han Zhan's safety. He quickly replied, "General Chen, a murder happened here. This Niu Da with a knife killed Sun Biao who was lying on the ground."

Chen Dao heard that it was a murder case, and the murderer was standing in front of him, and quickly ordered his subordinates who came over: "Take down the murderer and send him to the county government for interrogation."

Unexpectedly, the melon-eating crowd onlookers, seeing the people brought by Chen Dao, wanted to arrest the murderous Niu Da, they immediately became clamorous, and some even stood in front of Niu Da, trying to prevent the two guards from arresting Niu Da.

"Uncle Zhi, what happened here?" Han Zhan saw that Chen Dao and the others hadn't come back for a long time. On the contrary, there was commotion in front of him, so he personally brought a few guards and squeezed them over.Seeing this chaotic scene, he quickly asked, "Why are the common people so angry!"

"Your Majesty," the people recognized Han Zhan, and immediately shouted, "Niu Da is a good man, you can't arrest him."

"Niu Da killed the villain who bullied the market, he was not wrong."

Seeing that everyone was defending the murderer, Han Zhan felt very strange, and quickly shouted to the people around him: "Everyone be quiet, please wait for Ben Hou to say something."

After the surroundings quieted down, he continued, "Right and wrong, we have our own judgement. Since Niu Da killed someone, no matter whether he killed a good person or a bad person, he should be sent to the county government. Officials will judge whether he is guilty. Everyone If you want to know how we deal with Niu Da, you can go to the county government for a hearing."

When the people around heard what Han Zhan said, they stopped making noise and stepped back one after another, making way for Han Zhan and his subordinates.Han Zhan pointed to the corpse on the ground and told Chen Dao, "Take the corpse to the county government."

Han Zhan's guards escorted Niu Da and carried Sun Biao's body to the county government.The county magistrate had just learned that a murder case had occurred on the street, and was about to take people to capture the murderer himself, but saw Han Zhan's guards, escorting the criminal and carrying the corpse.

Han Zhan entered the county office, chatted briefly with the county magistrate, and signaled the magistrate to start the trial.

The county magistrate glanced at the corpses in the hall and Niu Da who was kneeling beside him, and asked, "Niu Da, I ask you, did you kill Sun Biao?"

Niu Daweng replied angrily, "Yes!"

"Why did you kill Sun Biao?"

""

Seeing that Niu Da didn't answer, the county magistrate then asked, "Did you have a grudge against Sun Biao before?"

"Go back to the county magistrate," Niu Da quickly replied, "I have no enmity with Sun Biao."

"Since there is no enmity, why did you kill Sun Biao?"

"Back to the words of the adults," Niu Da defended himself, "The villain also kills in self-defense."

"Murder in self-defense?" The county magistrate waited for Niu Da to finish speaking, then snorted coldly, and said, "Tell me about the murder in detail. As for whether to kill in self-defense, I will make my own decision."

"My lord, I went to the city to sell firewood today. After I sold the firewood, I wanted to buy something for my family back home. Unexpectedly, I was walking on the street when Sun Biao walked up to me. He said that the villain blocked his way and let the little The man knelt down and kowtowed to him. The villain refused, and a quarrel broke out between the two parties.

He first punched and kicked the villain for a while, feeling that he might not be relieved, then grabbed the villain's shoulder pole and beat the villain head and face.The villain is timid and dare not fight back, thinking that he might stop after a while.Unexpectedly, after discounting the shoulder pole, he grabbed a two-foot-long ox ear sharp knife from the meat stall next to him, and slashed at the villain.The villain's legs and arms were cut with sharp knives

After chopping for a while, he slipped his hand and dropped the knife to the ground.The villain was afraid that he would lose his life in vain if he continued to hack, so he rushed over to pick up the sharp knife on the ground, and stabbed him four or five times."

Sitting on the side, Han Zhan, after listening to Niu Da's somewhat incomprehensible narration, clarified the general case: Niu Da had sold firewood and was about to buy something for his family to go home, but he ran into Sun Biao head-on.Sun Biao may have disliked Niu, so when he went up, he was flattened.

Han Zhan found that after returning to Yecheng, he had to deal with countless political affairs every day.After only working for two days, he felt as tired as a dog.Fortunately, he had many subordinates, so he entrusted Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and others to take charge of these political affairs.He would only ask briefly about things they couldn't handle.
