Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Changshi, Mr. Tian's words are wrong." Huang Zhong, who had been silent all the time, stood up and raised his voice and said: "They not only sent people to assassinate the lord, but even colluded with the eunuchs outside to harm the lord. If we Let it go, sooner or later it will become a big problem."

Huang Zhong's words immediately aroused the response of the generals, and everyone said that they should act decisively and eradicate all these courtiers who don't know whether they are dead or alive.Otherwise, in time, it will become a serious disaster.

Except for what Guo Jia said when he asked Jushou, he kept silent for the rest of the time. Seeing that the two sides were at odds, he didn't favor either side. Instead, he looked at Han Zhan and asked, "I don't know how my lord intends to deal with this matter."

As soon as Han Zhan stood up, the whole lobby became quiet again.After sweeping his eyes over everyone, he said: "Mr. Changshi Hetian is right. The imperial court has just moved the capital, and the people in Beijing are not stable. If we eradicate dissidents at this moment, it will definitely cause new turmoil. Jizhou is at a great disadvantage."

Seeing that Han Zhan's tone was obviously biased towards the officials, the generals couldn't sit still. Huang Zhong was about to speak again when he heard Han Zhan continue: "But what Han Sheng and others said is also reasonable. If these courtiers are allowed to behave mischievously, sooner or later It will become a great disaster for us.”

After saying this, Han Zhan paused for a moment, then turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, Qingzhou has been newly established, and there are many vacancies for prefects and county magistrates everywhere. Why don't you suggest to Your Majesty to send officials from the court to go to the court?" Go to work."

"My lord, this is not an appropriate move." Huang Zhong, as the deputy commander of the Qingzhou army, is very familiar with the situation in Qingzhou. The place has just been pacified not long ago, and the people are determined. There was a lot of trouble, and he quickly dissuaded him, saying: "If those courtiers are allowed to go to Qingzhou to serve as prefects and county magistrates, they will eventually worry that Qingzhou will fall into their control over time."

"Don't worry about Han Sheng." Han Zhan waited for Huang Zhong to finish speaking, waved his hand at him, and said: "After the Marquis split up these courtiers, he sent them to Qingzhou to serve as prefects and county magistrates, so that they could not continue to form a group. At the same time, if we send people to monitor and cut off their contact with each other, in time, these courtiers will be unable to do anything alone, and they will not be able to achieve anything. How to deal with them at that time is not a word of this Marquis."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, all the warriors were stunned for a moment, and then Guo Jia took the lead and said: "My lord, this plan is very clever. Even if these courtiers are driven out of the capital, it will not be confirmed. Very clever, very clever!"

Just when everyone agreed, Tian Feng said inappropriately: "My lord's plan is indeed good, but will the Holy One agree to send so many courtiers to serve in Qingzhou?"

"Yuan Hao don't have to worry," Guo Jia called Tian Feng's name, and said to him, "The Holy Majesty has always been obedient to the lord, if he knows that so many important officials can be transferred from the court to the newly recovered Qingzhou to stabilize the court, It’s too late to be happy, how can I object.”

After discussing some details, Han Zhan saw that it was getting late, so he waved to everyone and said, "It's getting late, everyone, go back and rest. Wait until tomorrow morning, and then speak to His Majesty, let these famous courtiers, Hurry to Qingzhou to take up the post as soon as possible. Gongyu, you stay, this Marquis has something to say."

Ju Shou waited for the rest of the warriors to leave, and then asked Han Zhan respectfully, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Liu Bei Liu Xuande, where are you now?" Han Zhan asked simply.

"Responding to my lord," Jushou quickly replied, "After my lord entered the city, my subordinates ordered someone to release Liu Xuande from the prison and put him in a mansion in the east of the city. To prevent him from escaping, my subordinates ordered Liu Xuande to be released from prison. There are no less than fifty secret sentries deployed in the nearby shops and houses. In addition, there are two patrol teams of [-] people around. Once the secret sentries find that Liu Xuande is about to escape, they will immediately send out a message. Fortunately, the nearby patrols and secret sentries can go there and capture Liu Bei"

Regarding Jushou's arrangement, Han Zhan did not express any opinion, but continued to ask: "Did Guan Yu, Zhang Fei meet Liu Bei?"

"Yes, the three brothers have already met in the mansion." Ju Shou reported to Han Zhan: "The three of them cried after meeting each other, and then went to the flower hall to talk. I don't know what they said."

"Remove all the hidden whistle around Liu Bei's mansion." After Jushou finished speaking, Han Zhan ordered him to say, "Liu Bei is now a toothless tiger with no soldiers and no power in his hands. Even if he wants to, he can't do anything big waves."

"However, Liu Bei's two righteous brothers are both people with outstanding martial arts skills. If they are used by others, I'm afraid."

Han Zhan didn't wait for Jushou to finish, and interrupted him: "Gongyu, Benhou understands what you mean. However, when he was conquering Qingzhou, Benhou once promised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that as long as they are of one mind To serve this Marquis, after returning to Yedu, they will be reunited with Liu Bei, and as for the future, let them do as they please. Gongyu, don’t fall into the situation of benevolence and injustice of this Marquis, understand?”

"This subordinate understands, this subordinate understands." Ju Shou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly agreed: "This subordinate will send people to withdraw all the secret sentries and patrols deployed in Liu Bei's mansion."

Chapter 488

In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhan came to the palace surrounded by Rob and others.

Since it was not yet time to go to court, the door of the main hall on the high stairs could be seen from a distance, and a group of courtiers were gathering on the platform outside the door of the main hall.Han Zhan got off the carriage and went up the stairs, ready to go up and say hello to the ministers.

Unexpectedly, just halfway there, he saw Taiwei Yang Biao hurriedly coming down from the platform. He was still far away, and the other party bowed his hands to Han Zhan with a smile on his face, and greeted politely: "Marquis of Anyang, You came so early!"

Han Zhan was taken aback by Yang Biao's words, and wondered if he came early?Didn't the courtiers on the platform come earlier.Could it be that he came here specifically to find him?Although his heart was full of doubts, Han Zhan still pretended to be nonchalant, and bowed to salute Yang Biao: "I have seen Taiwei Yang."

After Yang Biao walked in front of Han Zhan, he turned his head and looked up, and found that many courtiers were looking at him and Han Zhan, and some people were pointing with their fingers.

"Marquis of Anyang," thinking that he came to greet Han Zhan on his own initiative, and really asked for something. This matter is related to the life and death of the Yang family, so he can only come to see Han Zhan with a cheeky face: "Can you take a step to speak."

Han Zhan looked around and found that there was no one else on the whole staircase except himself and Yang Biao.The soldiers standing guard on both sides were still far away from me. Even if Yang Biao said something to him, no one could hear him.In order to find out why Yang Biao was looking for him, Han Zhan hurriedly cupped his hands and said politely: "If you have anything to say, you can speak up, don't be so polite."

"Marquis of Anyang, the old man got the news last night that you were attacked by an assassin on the way back to the court with your army." Yang Biao asked tentatively, "I don't know if it's true?"

After the discussion last night, Ju Shou once privately asked Han Zhan if he could send someone to spread the news about the assassination in the military camp to test the attitudes of all parties.Now that Yang Biao took the initiative to ask about this matter, it proved that they had already got the news, so they came to test him.

After trying to understand the key issues, Han Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, Captain, there is indeed such a thing."

Hearing Han Zhan gave himself an affirmative answer, Yang Biao shuddered all over after all. After a long time, he asked with difficulty: "Marquis Anyang, is it true that the mastermind behind a certain non-assassin?"

"That's right, Brother Ling Cong is really serving Yang Qi."

After confirming that his elder brother, Yang Qi, was the person ordered by the Marquis, Yang Biao seemed extremely flustered. He was worried that with Han Zhan's current ability, he could completely set off a bloody storm in the court: "I don't know what Marquis Anyang intends to do. How to deal with him?"

"Taiwei," Han Zhan didn't answer Yang Biao's question, but asked instead: "If you and this Marquis change places, how will you deal with him?"

Han Zhan's words stopped Yang Biao.Even though Yang Biao was usually an eloquent person, but at this moment, Yang Biao felt his throat was constricted and he couldn't speak a word.

At this moment, a little yellow came down the stairs and came to Han Zhan and Yang Biao.The other party obviously knew Yang Biao. After bowing to Yang Biao, he turned to Han Zhan and said respectfully, "Marquis of Anyang, my lord, please come with our house."

After Han Zhan left with Xiaohuangmen, Grand Tutor Ma Rixun came to Yang Biao's side and asked with concern: "Taiwei, what did you say to Anyang Hou just now? I see that you are sweating profusely. Are you feeling unwell?" ?”

"Uncle Weng," Yang Biao called Ma Rike's name, and said in a low voice: "Gongting sent someone to assassinate the Marquis of Anyang. The news has leaked out. I think Marquis Anyang already knows that the assassin who assassinated him was sent by Gongting." of."

Even though Yang Biao and Ma Rizun did not participate in Yang Qi's conspiracy, they still have heard of what the other party did.Now that Han Zhan knew about Yang Qi's tricks behind his back, he broke out in a cold sweat, and asked cautiously, "Taiwei, I don't know how Anyang Hou is going to deal with this matter. Could it be like Dong thief back then?"

"Speak carefully, speak carefully!" Before Ma Rixun finished speaking, Yang Biao raised his hand and interrupted him: "Nowadays, there are eyes and ears of Marquis Anyang at home and abroad, so be careful that there are ears behind the walls. What will happen next? The old man doesn’t know either, let’s let nature take its course.”

Besides, Han Zhan was called to the apse by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked straight to the point: "Marquis of Anyang, I heard that you were attacked by assassins on the way back to the capital. I wonder if this happened?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there is indeed a matter." Han Zhan's next arrangement still needs the help of Han Xiandi, so he did not hide this matter.

Hearing that there were indeed assassins who wanted to kill Han Zhan, Emperor Xian of the Han couldn't help raising his voice: "I don't know who these assassins are in charge of. I want to wipe out his three clans and vent my anger for the Marquis of Anyang."

Seeing that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty clearly stated that he wanted to stand by him, Han Zhan smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, after the interrogation by the minister, the assassin confessed that they were ordered by Yang Qi, the servant, to come to the barracks to assassinate the humble minister. of."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty summoned Han Zhan privately before going to court, just to know the origin of the assassin.He wishfully thought in his heart that it was just Dong Zhuo's remnants, and he would send someone to assassinate Han Zhan to avenge Dong Zhuo. As long as he expressed his support for the other party and intended to severely punish the mastermind behind the assassin, Han Zhan would be grateful to him.

But he never dreamed that the mastermind behind the assassin would be Yang Qi and others, the important ministers of the court, and at this time he was still the elder brother of Taiwei Yang Biao. If he was not handled properly, it would cause turmoil in the court.For a while, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became helpless.

Seeing Emperor Han Xian sitting in a daze, Han Zhan guessed what the other party was thinking, and quickly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, for the stability of the court, I can deal with these courtiers without thunder, but they can no longer stay in the court."

Hearing Han Zhan's tone, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't seem to want to kill these courtiers, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, he hurriedly asked cautiously, "I don't know how the Marquis of Anyang plans to deal with them?"

"Qingzhou is newly settled, and there is a lack of competent officials to manage it." Han Zhan saw that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked himself for advice, so he said bluntly: "I think Yang Qi, the servant, is fully qualified for the post of long history."

"Let Yang Qi be the governor of Qingzhou?" Han Xiandi hesitated for a long time about Han Zhan's arrangement for Yang Qi, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, this can save Yang Qi's life: "What the Marquis of Anyang said is very true In the early court, I will publicly appoint Yang Qi as the governor of Qingzhou. Then how will the other courtiers, Marquis of Anyang, plan to arrange them?"

"Reply to Your Majesty," Han Zhan replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I have just said that Qingzhou is newly established and lacks capable officials to govern. Since Yang Qi, the servant, can serve as the governor of Qingzhou, then the prefect and county magistrate vacated in Qingzhou For the position, let someone who is close to Yang Changshi take it."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty originally thought that even if Han Zhan had such a good character, he would have to kill a few courtiers who participated in the conspiracy before the matter could come to an end.Seeing that Han Zhan didn't kill these courtiers, but demoted them from the capital, he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly nodded and replied, "The Marquis of Anyang is more magnanimous. When the court comes early, I will definitely send these courtiers to Qingzhou as soon as possible. Employed."

Chapter 489

When Han Zhan got up and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that bringing up this matter suddenly in the court would definitely arouse the courtiers' anger, and he had to find someone to help him share the pressure.Then he stopped and said to Han Xiandi: "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I met Yang Taiwei."

"Meet Taiwei Yang?!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard what Han Zhan said, and couldn't help asking: "What did Marquis Anyang and Taiwei Yang talk about?"

"If there is nothing to talk about." Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Yang Taiwei asked Weichen about the assassination, and seemed to be pleading for Yang Qi. But before Weichen had time to chat with him, His Majesty sent The little yellow gate is here."

"Marquis of Anyang," Han Xiandi asked Han Zhan tentatively, "Do you think it is necessary to recruit Taiwei Yang and tell him about this?"

"That's very good." Han Zhan said following Han Xiandi's intention: "As long as Taiwei Yang agrees to send these courtiers to serve in Qingzhou, then with his prestige, the court officials will definitely not have any objections."
