The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 271 Prophet?resignation

"Haha, it's time to give Zhang Xiu some color, do you really think we are afraid of him if we blindly compromise?"

"Brother Kuai, when Zhang Xiu comes to apologize, he must call us. I want to see Zhang Xiu's expression, and I won't regret it after seeing him."

"Let me tell you, without us, Jingzhou will be in chaos within half a month. Maybe Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to enter. Wouldn't it be better for us to welcome Yuan's family into Jingzhou?"

"Everyone, I dare say that within half a month, Zhang Xiu will reap the consequences of his own misfortune, withdraw the new law, and beg us in every possible way to be an official."

"After all, if there is no our family in this world, do we expect those illiterate mud legs to govern?"

When the words came out, there was a burst of laughter.

The atmosphere was very good, everyone was laughing and chatting, they were sure that once they resigned from office, Zhang Xiu would definitely give in, and then try to keep them as much as possible.

But they also made up their minds, no matter how Zhang Xiu tried to stay, he would ignore it and let him suffer the consequences, so that their life would be easier in the future.

"Okay, let's all go back first! As for the people in the clan, be more restrained and don't cause trouble, otherwise I won't be able to protect myself." Kuai Liang waved his hand and said.

"Brother Kuai, farewell."

"Farewell!"

Everyone clasped their fists and bid farewell.

…………

After a while, in the prime minister's mansion.

Zhang Xiu sat at the head with a calm expression, holding the letters submitted from various places in his hand, reading them slowly, sometimes his brows trembled, and sometimes he smiled lightly.

At this time, Jia Xu came in a hurry from outside the residence.

"My lord, there is news from the secret guards. Following the publication of the announcement, families from all over the world are moving closer to the Kuai family. Just now, these families have left the Kuai family one after another. Presumably they have reached something."

Jia Xu's voice was dignified.

"Oh~, it's all done?" Zhang Xiu slowly put down the scroll in his hand, quite indifferently.

"Well, I guess, what they are discussing this time is probably to write a letter to protest the decree, or dismiss from office to put pressure on the lord, or they are planning to secretly inform Yuan Shao."

Jia Xu almost asserted.

Such a strict order is definitely cutting off the family's wealth and foundation. The above-mentioned plan is definitely the result of their discussion. As for the acquiescence of Annai, it is absolutely impossible.

Because this knife will kill half of them. After all, there is no country in the eyes of the aristocratic family, and there are only interests. The iron-clad family is a dynasty.

After finishing speaking, seeing Zhang Xiu's calm demeanor, Jia Xu couldn't help bowing and said: "My lord, the seven prefectures of Jingzhou govern more than a hundred counties, and there are more than a thousand officials from all over the place, and the aristocratic families attending the meeting today may affect half of Jingzhou."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, and then said: "My lord, Xu is still worried that once these people abandon their official positions and force the palace, they will definitely cause chaos in Jingzhou."

"At that time, I am afraid that the remnants of Jingnan, the remnants of Yangzhou, and even Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and even Shi Xie of Jiaozhou will take the opportunity to attack. This will cause internal and external troubles."

"My lord, what Wen He said is true. According to the scouts' news, Gongsun Zan's subordinates have been renounced, and he himself has no heart to fight. I'm afraid he will be defeated before winter this year!"

"If the army is defeated before winter, I am worried that Yuan Shao will gather a large army to prepare to go south. At that time, with the internal situation in Jingzhou, I am afraid that my lord will not be able to go north with peace of mind."

It was Chen Qun who spoke, with a dignified face.

Although Zhang Xiu didn't take Yuan Shao seriously, the others knew that Yuan Shao was a big mountain, at least they couldn't breathe under it.

"No, a few days ago the dark guards came to report that Gongsun Zan's son had broken through and intended to join forces with the black bandit Zhang Yan. Yuan Shao didn't dare to act rashly for a short time."

"If my predictions are correct, Gongsun Zan's defeat will begin in the spring of next year. I'm afraid it's probably due to the robbing of the letter that he and Gongsun Xuli should cooperate with, and thus defeat."

Zhang Xiu looked calm and said calmly.

"???"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, a little confused, showing expressions of disbelief.

My lord can tell fortunes?

The key is this damn prophet?
Or did he assert the cause of Gongsun Zan's death a few months in advance?How does this sound so ridiculous!Isn't this kind of person a god?Prophet?

so horrible!

If it really comes true, it will be easy for them to brag when they go out in the future.Lu Su: Gong Jin, you may not believe it if you tell me, but my lord can predict the future!

As a result, everyone swallowed their saliva and looked at Zhang Xiu with strange eyes.

Among them, Jia Xu was the most at a loss. The hidden guards were under his control, not to mention that it was difficult for the hidden guards to inquire about such deep-seated things, let alone assert when Gongsun Zan would die.

And also asserted that he died because of peace.

In response to the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xiu took it directly, and then said: "There is no need to worry about the remaining evils in Jingnan. As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, his short-sightedness is not worth mentioning."

"Oh, by the way, didn't Shi Xie of Jiaozhi ordered him to enter the court a long time ago? Why hasn't he come here yet?" Zhang Xiu frowned, with a slightly displeased expression on his face.

"My lord, Shi Xie has received the order. As for why he hasn't entered the court yet, I don't know why. I'm afraid some things have delayed him." Lu Su raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"Things have been delayed? I don't think so? I'm afraid his family doesn't want to hand over the military power too early, but wants to see Yuan Shao's movements?" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly.

He knew in his heart that Shi Xie of later generations did not wholeheartedly seek refuge with the Sun family, not to mention that Yuan Shao was about to go south now, and Shi Xie would not be reconciled if he wanted to come.

"This..." Everyone hesitated.

"In this way, immediately send someone to urge Shi Xie to enter the court, and tell him bluntly that if he does not enter the court, he will be resisting the imperial edict, and I will never allow him to get away with it." Zhang Xiu's voice was cold.

"No!" Chen Qun agreed.

"My lord, I think that the top priority is not the scholar family. I am worried that the Jingzhou family will abandon their official position and return to their hometown. If there is no one to govern Jingzhou, what should we do?"

Jia Xu is still worried about this.

"Homecoming? It's a good thing. There's no need to worry about it." Zhang Xiu waved his hand in disapproval.

In other words, he has already thought about how to deal with it, and this time, he will be half free from the constraints of the aristocratic family. After his next plan is implemented, he will create a new civil and military prosperity.

Of course, the next plan might be even more absurd. The time is not yet ripe. He did this step first to pave the way for the future to completely get rid of the constraints of the aristocratic family.

"Uh, this!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiu helplessly. This matter was already imminent. Could it be that Zhang Xiu was really not in a hurry?Or is his composure all faking?
"By the way, what is the reaction of the people in various places when the corvee system is abolished?" Zhang Xiu didn't care about other things, but he wanted to know how the people in Jingzhou were doing.

"Returning to the lord, once the announcement was issued, the people all over the place bowed and cheered, and all praised the lord for his kindness." Lu Su bowed loudly.

"That's good," Zhang Xiu chuckled, "By the way, Changwen, the reporting offices in all counties must ensure fairness, justice, safety and reliability. As for the embezzlers during this period, no matter who they are, they will be punished as soon as possible. I want everyone in the world to know , the laws of the Han Dynasty, cannot be trampled on."

Chen Qun raised his head and glanced at Zhang Xiu, his eyes were full of emotion, admiration and fear from the bottom of his heart, he was the first one who could set up a family like this.

Chen Qun asked himself, if he was not Zhang Xiu's confidant, he must have turned against Zhang Xiu.However, standing on Zhang Xiu's side at this moment will benefit even more in the future, so he immediately cupped his fists and said, "No!"

"My lord, there are changes in the recruiting office."

"From the release of the list to the present, in just a few hours, the three recruitment gates in Jingzhou have been overcrowded, and countless young and middle-aged people have joined the army enthusiastically."

"Among them, many of them were sent by their parents in person. These elders only said one sentence..." Wei Yan came out, and he paused when he said this.

"They said to their children, if the prime minister is fighting, my son should go forward bravely, and even if I die, I will face Youbei. I recognize you."

"If you retreat before fighting, you will not fight. Even if you come back alive, I will kill this traitor with my own hands, and I will never let you go home!"

Wei Yan's voice trembled slightly as he repeated.

Those were the words of his parents who sent their children to the military.At that time, when he heard those words, his hand holding the blade tightened inexplicably.

That is responsibility, that is entrustment.

In today's troubled times, unless there is no ration or no way out, few people are willing to serve as soldiers, let alone send their children here in person.

You know, the general died in a hundred battles, and he was even called a soldier.

Those who take the initiative to send their sons to join the army are rare in ancient and modern times. Such a scene is probably comparable to that of the old Qin people who survived the sixth life.He admitted that he was moved.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu was stunned.

As for the people in the hall, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the hearts of the people are available, and the hearts of the people are available! Throughout the ages, how many people can do what the people want."

Zhang Xiu shrugged shruggingly, he never thought that so many people would come to join the army, but this is also good, just now that Jingzhou has enough money and food, it is a good thing to choose more strong men.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at Wei Yan and said, "Master Wen, issue a notice to tell the recruiting offices in Jingzhou to select elites to join the army, and you can first select them to be incorporated into your Fifth Army."

Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately clasped his fists and said: "My lord, thank you, the general will do his best to train these soldiers, let them show their prestige on the battlefield, and never weaken the prestige of Jingzhou soldiers."

He naturally knew what this meant.

These are all new blood, and they are all elites. Zhang Xiu gave him the elites for no reason, obviously to prepare for the next big battle.

In other words, he, Wei Yan, was finally going to the battlefield.

"Well, it's good to practice, practice more in normal times, and less bloodshed in wartime. In the next few days, you will organize the army first, and I will take time to inspect the camp later."

Zhang Xiu looked at Wei Yandao very seriously.

Wei Yan's ability is naturally there, but he hasn't experienced it yet.At present, Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang are the only ones under his command who can stand alone.

Not to mention Huang Zhong's martial arts prowess, the key is always in charge of the army, the military's prestige is stronger than Xu Shu and others, so let's not mention Zhuge Liang.

"Promise!" Wei Yan clasped his fists in response.

"Okay, let's do this first. In addition, let the hidden guards from all over the place pay more attention to the movements of these families." Zhang Xiuyou said a few words, then got up and left.

As for the city, this day can be said to be an undercurrent.Among them are not only local families, but also people from Yuan Shao and even Cao Cao.

Watching the changes in the city, these secret agents went to visit these local families in secret. As long as they could win over enough people, it would be very easy for their lord to take over Jingzhou in the future.

Because of this, all walks of life explored horses and made business reports.

The next day, at the Golden Luan Hall.

This is a routine court meeting, but this time, the atmosphere in the court hall is extremely strange, all the officials arrived early, and they all waited there quietly.

At this time, Zhang Xiu came at the pace of a dragon and a tiger.

He looked at the people in the hall, then smiled lightly and went straight to the officials, closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Also because of Zhang Xiu's arrival, the hall was completely silent, and everyone consciously stopped talking.

Soon,
With the sound of a drake-like voice, Liu Xie came slowly surrounded by eunuchs, and at the same time shouted to order all the officials to start their daily worship.

"My dear friends, if there is something to do, I will go back to the palace to rest." Liu Xie didn't want to stay in this hall for a moment.

There is no way, what happened on that day is still vivid in his memory, he can't forget it at all, even in his dreams, he can think of what kind of animal Zhang Xiu did.

It was also after that day that Liu Xie began to alienate Fushou intentionally or unintentionally, perhaps because of instinct.Instead, she wanted to get close to Concubine Dong, but she didn't know,
Concubine Dong was also killed that night
As for the new Zhen Mi who entered the palace, he had heard that Zhen Mi was as beautiful as a fairy, but he had no right to meet her in the past, and he did not dare to go there.

Because that is Zhang Xiu's woman.

He was afraid, he was afraid that Zhang Xiu would fix him up instead if he went there, and even said that he would give Concubine Dong to him in front of him, he didn't want to do that.

Listen to the words of the Son of Heaven,

Many civil servants in the hall looked at each other.

At this time, the Yang Family Yang Yu took the lead and bowed, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I feel unwell recently, please return home to recuperate."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the child in the minister's family is bedridden, and the minister has no intention of going to court, so please order him to return home to take care of the child."

"Report to Your Majesty, I beg you to be disarmed and return to the fields."

"Report to Your Majesty, I request you to resign and return home."

All of a sudden, in the entire hall, more than 20 people resigned, and their voices were sonorous and powerful, and they glanced at Zhang Xiu from the corner of their eyes from time to time.

It seemed to be a demonstration, and they wanted to see how Zhang Xiu would bow his head. After all, once they left, hundreds of resignation papers would be handed in from various places.

In this way, Jingzhou will undoubtedly be in chaos.

"Hey!" Jia Xu and the others shook their heads, feeling a little emotional, what they didn't want to happen still happened.

"Um, this..." Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Xiu, who was asking, because this matter was beyond the scope of his handling.

Kuai Liang didn't speak, but his eyes stayed on Zhang Xiu, he wanted to see where this man's strength was.

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu laughed uncontrollably, and stepped out with fists clasped, "Your Majesty, since your lords are determined to resign from office, Your Majesty considers the beauty of an adult, and you should allow it."

"Dang Yun?"

In the hall, everyone was stunned.

Those who resigned just now looked proud. They were sure that Zhang Xiu would not dare to do anything to them, but the latter was very indifferent and even happily persuaded him.

It's fine if you don't keep her, but you're still happy?
Kuai Liang squinted at the corners of his eyes, while Yang Yu frowned. This time, he took the lead in resigning on behalf of the Jingxiang family, and he did not expect it to be so easy.

"My dear friends, Prime Minister Zhang is right. Since you resign with all your heart, I will not keep you back." Liu Xie said softly.

"Come here, help these ministers take off their official uniforms and their black gauze hats." Zhang Xiu smiled lightly at the guards outside the mansion.

"Zhang Xiu, you, don't go too far." Yang Yu blushed.
