[Three Kingdoms] Jingyunshang

Hanxuan Wing Room, Taishou Mansion, Changsha County

"Hahaha! God help me! I wanted to find someone to assassinate that Zhang Lue, but I didn't want this old man to seek death himself, so he insisted on visiting those untouchables in person. Now it's all right, let's take my own life!" Han Xuan smiled triumphantly.

"Master Han Xuan, although that Zhang is slightly dead, but he didn't recommend you to be the prefect of Changsha?"

"What's so difficult about this? The old man has a clever plan, Captain Yang, tomorrow you will send people to gather the people outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, and at the same time mobilize your cronies in the army to guard."

"No! It's just how does the lord win the trust of Zhang Yi and others?"

"The old man has spent a lot of money to hire a master copywriter in the city to imitate the rough handwriting to forge a letter of recommendation, and has sent someone to General Cai Mao in Xiangyang to ask him to speak well of Lord Liu Biao, so this prefect must belong to the old man, hahaha !"

"Master is wise!"

In the early morning of the second day, Li Jing, Zhang Yi and other people were woken up by the servants in the mansion to gather in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion.I could only hear someone in the crowd below venting their dissatisfaction.

"Why did you call us here so early in the morning?"

"Yeah, I haven't slept well yet?"

"That's right, what's the matter?"

Just as everyone was whispering, Han Xuan and Yang Ling came out arrogantly and domineeringly from the prefect's mansion, followed by dozens of murderous guards.

"Fellow folks and colleagues, Mr. Han called everyone here today to announce something." Han Xuan raised his voice, and continued: "Mr. Zhang Lue, the former prefect, died unfortunately due to the plague. Mr. Han is deeply moved." Sad, but a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a city cannot be without a prefect for a day...."

Before Han Xuan finished speaking, a voice erupted from the crowd, "Mr. Zhang Yi is the son of the former prefect Zhang Zhongjing and the nephew of the prefect Zhang Lue. He is kind-hearted and generous. Let's recommend him as the new prefect, shall we? ?”

"Okay! Let's choose Mr. Zhang Yi as the new prefect."

"Mr. Zhang Yi is usually good to me and other common people, we choose him!"

All of a sudden, the common people responded. Hearing that the common people wanted to choose him as the prefect, Zhang Yi was surprised. Although he followed his adoptive father and uncle Zimou to Changsha for four years, he still didn't really understand the affairs of the officialdom.Just when Zhang Yi was about to speak, Han Xuan, with a livid face, scolded him very displeasedly: "Nonsense! The position of prefect must be recommended by the previous prefect, and then reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court ordered it. How can it be up to you and other ordinary people?" Call the shots. Do you want to rebel?"

After Han Xuan finished speaking, he squinted at Yang Ling next to him. Yang Ling signaled to the guards behind him. After receiving the order, dozens of guards pulled out the long swords beside them and approached the crowd, finding the first one among the crowd to make a sound. that common people.Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Chen Wen who often came to Li Jing's place to fetch medicine for his daughter-in-law.

"You unreasonable people, how dare you speak evil words to confuse people here, do you want to rebel?" Han Xuan angrily scolded Chen Wen who was caught by two soldiers.

"Master Han, how dare Xiaomin rebel, Xiaomin only said what he wanted to say because he was grateful for the kindness of the three generations of Zhang's father and son."

"Let go of him, Chen Wen is just expressing the aspirations of our people, why is Mr. Han willing to punish him?" said Zhang Liu, who was about 20 years old.

"Let him go!"

The common people were outraged, Han Xuan witnessed all this, and said angrily: "Rebellion, rebellion! You and I will arrest these troublemakers!"

Dozens of guards drew their swords and rushed towards the crowd in unison. Seeing this, the common people were gearing up one by one. Both sides were at war with each other, as if a killing was about to begin.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi who was beside Li Jing hurriedly stopped and said, "Lord Han, wait a moment, someone has something to say!"

Han Xuan made a stop gesture, and the guards stopped pressing.Looking at Zhang Yi with disdain on his face, he said, "Young Master, please tell me what you have to say!"

"Lord Han, although I have never been a court official, I know very well that if I want to be the prefect of a county, I need someone to recommend. Does Lord Han have someone to recommend?"

"Of course there is!"

"who is it?"

"Young Master's uncle, former prefect Zhang Lue!"

Uncle Zimou?Impossible, why didn't Uncle Zimou tell him about the recommendation?Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Young master doesn't believe it? Then the old man will convince the young master." After finishing speaking, Han Xuan took out an imperial edict from his bosom, handed it to Zhang Yi proudly, and said, "Young master, do you see it clearly? Is it Mr. Zhang Lue?" handwriting?"

Zhang Yi received the edict with a look of disbelief on his face. In the edict, Han Xuan was actually recommended as the new prefect of Changsha, and the handwriting was undoubtedly Uncle Zimou.But what surprised Zhang Yi was that there was no prefect's seal on the edict.Zhang Yi asked suspiciously: "The handwriting is that of Uncle Zimou, but Mr. Han, why is it not stamped with the eunuch's seal?"

Hearing Zhang Yi's rhetorical question, Han Xuan quibbled without hesitation: "Master Zhang Lue had a premonition at that time that he would die soon, so he only recommended Han to be the prefect of Changsha temporarily, and the order issued by the court will not be formal until later Prefect."

After listening to Han Xuan's answer, Zhang Yi couldn't find a reason to refute. At the same time, in order to avoid the innocent people's death and injury, he opened his mouth and shouted to the people: "Folks! Zhang Yi appreciates everyone's kindness, but who is the prefect?" The question of who will take charge, this needs to be recommended by the former prefect. Lord Han Xuan has the recommendation of prefect Zhang Lue, and he will temporarily lead the prefect of Changsha. I believe that the imperial court will issue a new edict soon to determine the candidate for the prefect. Therefore, Zhang Yi hopes that everyone will put the overall situation first. , don’t lose innocent lives in vain because of me alone.”

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, the crowd quickly fell silent, and then Chen Liu shouted: "Folks, the young master's family treats us well, we listen to the young master!"

"Yes! Listen to the young master!"

"Since the young master has said so, then we will trust the young master!"

Seeing the common people's reply, Zhang Yi was quite relieved, so he cupped his hands and said to Han Xuan: "Master Han, do you think Chen Liu has been released now?"

"Let him go!"

"No!" The two guards guarding Chen Liu immediately let go of their hands.

Seeing what happened today, Li Jing suddenly felt that Zhang Yi had matured a lot, he was no longer the ignorant boy four years ago.In this way, Han Xuan temporarily led the prefect of Changsha.However, for Li Jing, the ensuing troubles have just begun.
