Three Kingdoms King of the North

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and immediately ordered Xiao Huangmen who was standing beside him: "Hurry up and invite Taiwei Yang!"

Shortly after Xiao Huangmen left, he brought Yang Biao back.Yang Biao looked at Han Zhan who was kneeling and sitting under Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and quickly came to Emperor Xian of Han to salute: "My minister Yang Biao sees Your Majesty!"

"Lieutenant Yang is free!" Emperor Xian of Han quickly stretched out his hand to help him, and said politely: "Please take a seat at the side."

After Yang Biao took his seat, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at him and asked: "Taiwei, your brother's servant Yang Qi sent people to assassinate the Marquis of Anyang, and colluded with foreign ministers to try to attack the army of the class teacher, do you know?"

Before Yang Biao was brought to the apse by Xiaohuangmen, he guessed that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty summoned him temporarily, which must be related to these things.But when he really heard the question from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he was still in a cold sweat. He hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty to Emperor Xian of Han: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at Han Zhan who was sitting at the bottom, and said in his mouth: "Yang Taiwei, the crime committed by your brother is not an exaggeration even if the three tribes are wiped out. Tell me, how should I deal with him?"

Concerned about it, Yang Biao couldn't help but feel confused when he thought that his brother Cong had committed such a serious crime. He couldn't think of any countermeasures. He could only kowtow to Emperor Han Xian and kept saying : "Please be merciful, Your Majesty, please be merciful, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Yang Biao was so pitiful, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sighed softly, and said, "If I knew this was the case, why bother myself." After a pause, he said to Yang Biao, "Taiwei Yang, as long as the Marquis of Anyang doesn't pursue the matter." For this matter, then I can make it a minor matter and deal with Brother Ling lightly!"

Hearing what Han Xiandi said, Yang Biao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw. He quickly got up and knelt down in front of Han Zhan, ready to kowtow to him for mercy.How could Han Zhan let an old official like Yang Biao salute him so much? He quickly got up and walked aside, saying, "Taiwei Yang, there is no need to be so polite, please hurry up!"

"Marquis of Anyang!" Yang Biao knelt on the ground, looked up at Han Zhan, and said with grief and indignation, "Brother She must have been bewitched by an adulterer to do such a daring thing, and I ask Marquis Anyang to look after the old man." Thin noodles, give him a way out."

Han Zhan stepped forward to support Yang Biao's arm, and said to him: "Taiwei, please hurry up, I don't have to pursue this matter anymore, but the death penalty is inevitable, and I still have to teach Brother Ling some lessons." .”

Knowing that Han Zhan was willing to let Yang Qi go, Yang Biao quickly stood up and asked with concern, "I don't know how the Marquis of Anyang plans to deal with my brother?"

"Even if this Marquis is magnanimous and unwilling to pursue this matter, Wu of Jizhou will never let brother Ling go." Seeing that Yang Biao was in a state of confusion and lost his mind at the moment, Han Zhan quickly expressed his thoughts: " To be on the safe side, let the imperial court send brother Ling to other places as an official."

"Marquis of Anyang," Yang Biao asked tentatively, "Where do you plan to send them to be officials?" The purpose of his question was to worry that Yang Qi and others would be sent to wild places or places where the situation was unstable. At that time, don't say that there is no possibility of returning to Beijing in the future, and there will even be fear of life.

"Taiwei Yang," said Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sitting in the middle: "The Marquis of Anyang told me that Qingzhou was newly settled, and a large number of officials were needed to govern it. He planned to let Brother Ling take the post of prefect. The post of county magistrate. I wonder if you have any objections?"

Yang Biao heard that Han Zhan did not send his elder brother to the barren land, he was so grateful, he didn't care about the size of the official position, he quickly thanked Emperor Xian of Han: "On behalf of Brother She, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. "

"Since Taiwei Yang has no objection, then prepare to go to court."

After a stick of incense, all military officials gathered in the main hall, and everyone was whispering about Han Zhan and Yang Biao being called away by Xiaohuangmen.Zhu Jun walked to Ma Rixun's side, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Weng, when the Taiwei was called away by the little yellow gate, you were by his side, did you hear anything?"

Ma Rixun looked around for a while, then moved closer to Zhu Jun's ear, and whispered, "Da Si Nong, the Taiwei told me that his elder brother Yang Qi colluded with foreign ministers in private and sent assassins to assassinate the Marquis of Anyang." , the news has leaked out. If I guess correctly, the Marquis of Anyang, Taiwei and others are discussing with His Majesty how to deal with this matter."

After listening to Ma Rixun's words, Zhu Jun couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. He had passed through the period when Dong Zhuo was monopolizing the government, and he knew that Dong Zhuo would never be merciful to those who made small moves against him behind the scenes, let alone kill them directly. Even if the three tribes are wiped out, it is not impossible.Although the current Marquis of Anyang keeps a low profile, his power is not weaker than that of Dong Zhuo back then. If Yang Qi and others are to be eliminated, there may be another bloody storm in the court.

At this moment, Emperor Han Xian appeared in the main hall, and the military officials who were discussing a lot shut their mouths quickly, staring closely at Han Zhan and Yang Biao who were following behind Emperor Han Xian, trying to get rid of their faces. Find something.It's a pity that both of them were expressionless, neither sad nor happy, and they couldn't get any useful information at all.

After the military officials paid homage to Emperor Xian of Han, Emperor Xian of Han said, "Your family, everyone knows that the Marquis of Anyang put down the chaos in Qingzhou and eradicated the yellow scarf thieves who caused harm to the world. Now that Qingzhou is newly established, the imperial court needs to send officials Going to govern, what do you guys think?"

Zhu Jun, who had been in a restless mood, couldn't help being stunned when he heard Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty say this. It stands to reason that at this moment, the chaotic party that plotted against the Marquis of Anyang should be eradicated. How could he talk about the appointment and dismissal of officials in Qingzhou?

Not only Zhu Jun was confused, but other military officials were also confused.At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty spoke again: "My family, after discussing with the Marquis of Anyang and Taiwei Yang, I feel that in order to stabilize Qingzhou, we must send elite courtiers to go there. The servant Yang Qi can be the prefect of Donglai County"

Wu Baiguan heard that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appointed Yang Qi as the prefect of Donglai County, and he was in chaos after coaxing him.Before they could express their opinions, they heard Xiao Huangmen standing next to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty take out a will and began to read it aloud.In the decree, in addition to appointing Yang Qi as the prefect of Donglai County, 38 county magistrates were appointed.

Everyone was still confused at the beginning, and didn't understand why the imperial court sent these important court officials to Qingzhou to serve as prefects or county magistrates.When they heard the names of the people clearly, they immediately knew that the officials who were released to the outside world were all from Yang Qi's faction. They had always been against Han Zhan, the Marquis of Anyang. They didn't kill them at this moment, and let them go to other places to serve as officials. , is considered an extrajudicial favor.So the courtiers who were about to make an admonition shut their mouths one after another, and stood in their positions without saying a word.

After reading the decree, Yang Biao hurriedly came out, bowed to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty is wise, with these courtiers serving Qingzhou, I think Qingzhou will soon restore its former prosperity."

Seeing that Yang Biao was the first to stand up to agree with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's decision, the courtiers didn't understand what was going on, and they all came out to agree with Yang Biao.Only Yang Qi and his party stood in their original positions, dumbfounding. They knew very well that Han Zhan was magnanimous and didn't care about them, otherwise no matter how many heads they had, they wouldn't be enough to chop off.

After those courtiers returned to their positions, they, under the leadership of Yang Qi, went out to thank Han Xiandi.

After the court meeting, Han Zhan walked out of the hall swaggeringly.When he was walking down the stairs, he saw Rob running up quickly. He guessed that something important might have happened, so he stopped quickly, and when the other party came to him, he asked first: "Rob ,What's up?"

Chapter 490 Liu Guanzhang leaves

After Luo Bu bowed to Han Zhan, he reported: "My lord, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are asking to see you outside the mansion. The military adviser asked me to ask my lord to return to the mansion as soon as possible."

"The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang want to see me?" After hearing Rob's report, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel very surprised. What would these three people want to do with him?Hastily ordered: "Prepare the car quickly and go home!"

Xun Yu, Ju Shou and others who came out of the hall couldn't help looking at each other when they saw Han Zhan leaving in a hurry with Luo Bu.After a while, Xun Yu asked Jushou: "Gongyu, the lord left in a hurry, could something important happen?"

Ju Shou murmured in his heart for a long time, feeling that even if something happened, it was beyond his scope of authority. He shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "If you go back to Chang Shi, I don't know what's going on." After speaking, he saw Xun Yu looked puzzled, as if he didn't quite believe what he said, and quickly added, "If Chang Shi doesn't believe it, I am willing to go to the state pastoral mansion with Chang Shi to check."

Xun Yu really didn't believe that Jushou didn't know what happened. Seeing that the other party offered to go to the state pastoral mansion to check, he nodded and agreed: "That's very good. Let's rush to the state pastoral mansion to see what happened."

When Han Zhan's carriage approached the state pastoral mansion, he specifically probed out to check, and saw that there were indeed three people standing at the gate of the mansion, which were Liu Guanzhang and the others.When the carriage came to a stop in front of the mansion, Han Zhan opened the curtain and asked, "The three of you are here, but do you have anything to do with Mr. Han?"

"I've met the Marquis of Anyang!" Seeing Han Zhan appearing, Liu Guan and Zhang hurried forward to salute him.

Han Zhan got out of the carriage supported by Rob, and said to the three of them, "This is not a place to talk, you all follow me into the mansion to talk."

After coming to the main hall to sit down, Han Zhan looked at Liu Guanzhang and the three standing in front of him, and asked, "You three brothers reunited after a long absence, why don't you stay in the mansion to reminisce about the past, what are you doing here?"

"Return to the Marquis of Anyang." Hearing Han Zhan's question, Liu Bei stepped forward quickly and replied respectfully, "Bei has been away from home for a long time, and if he wants to go home to worship his ancestors, please let the Marquis of Anyang let him go."

Hearing Liu Bei's reason, Han Zhan couldn't help laughing. He thought that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei used this reason in front of Wu Guotai when he wanted to escape back to Jingzhou after getting married in Soochow.At this moment, there is still more than half a year before the day of worshiping the ancestors. Liu Bei said this because he wanted to escape from Yedu.

Although he saw through Liu Bei's Xiao Jiujiu, Han Zhan still asked calmly, "Mr. Liu, how many people do you plan to bring to worship the ancestors?"

"There are only three Bei brothers." Liu Bei continued to plead, "I would like to ask the Marquis of Anyang to be more accommodating."

Han Zhan waited for Liu Bei to finish speaking, and instead of expressing his opinion immediately, he shouted outside: "Come here!"

Liu Bei couldn't help trembling when he heard Han Zhan's shout. He thought that the other party was going to ask someone to take him down, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.Seeing Rob striding into the lobby, he even had the idea of ​​running away.

"My lord!" Rob came to Han Zhan, bowed and asked, "I don't know what to order?"

"The three Liu Xuande brothers want to leave the capital," Han Zhan said to Rob, "Go inside and get a plate of gold as their money."

Knowing that Han Zhan asked Rob to enter, not to take him down, but to prepare travel expenses for himself, Liu Bei couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.In order to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Thank you, Marquis Anyang, for your kindness. There is no need to worry about it. The three of my brothers have accumulated some savings over the years, which is enough for the journey."

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to reject his offer, Han Zhan waved his hand at him and said, "Yun Chang and Yide have made many great achievements in this expedition to Qingzhou, and they paid a lot of money for the sake of great achievements, so why refuse?"

Guan Yu, who was standing by the side, heard Han Zhan mentioning himself and Zhang Fei, stepped forward quickly, and said humbly, "Marquis of Anyang, it's nothing to worry about."

"You don't have to refuse, you and Yide deserve it." Han Zhan said solemnly, "You three brothers must have spent a lot of money along the way to travel such a long distance, and it's good to bring some extra money. "

While talking, Rob came out from the back hall holding a plate of gold. Han Zhan pointed at Liu Bei, signaling him to hand over the gold to Liu Bei.After Liu Bei took the gold with both hands, he thanked Han Zhan: "Thank you, Marquis of Anyang, for the reward."

Han Zhan comforted the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, and then sent them away.

Not long after the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang left, Xun Yu and Ju Shou hurried over.Knowing that Han Zhan had agreed with Liu Bei and the others to leave Yecheng, Ju Shou remembered stomping his feet and said repeatedly: "My lord, if you let Liu Bei leave Yecheng, it is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and sooner or later it will be a big disaster."

Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, for Han Zhan, they could not pose a threat to him.To gain a foothold in troubled times, it is not enough to have generals alone, and the assistance of officials is also needed.Liu Bei's most powerful officials, Sun Qian and Jian Yong, are now staying in Yedu, and they will never leave with him.After Liu Bei left Yecheng, it was not easy to recruit officials again, because in this era, in order to cultivate a qualified official, in addition to studying and making friends, he also needs to become famous through various wind evaluations, let alone a famous family. Various resources are provided.

And Liu Bei and others are like rootless duckweeds at this moment, with no soldiers and no power in their hands. May I ask which official who is eager to prove his ability in troubled times will follow them desperately?It was based on this consideration that Han Zhan said disapprovingly of Jushou's worries: "Liu Guanzhang is no more than three people. No matter how brave he is, he can still defeat the former Overlord of Chu? If the Overlord of Chu killed himself in Wujiang, if Liu Bei wanted to continue Going against this Marquis, I'm afraid the end will be even more miserable for the Overlord of Chu."

According to Jushou's thinking, since Liu Guanzhang and others cannot be used by Han Zhan, it is better to kill them as soon as possible, so as not to become a serious trouble in the future.Seeing Han Zhan's confident look at this moment, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.He laughed dryly, and was about to retreat to the side, but he heard Han Zhan say: "Gongyu, although I agree with Liu Xuande and others to leave Yecheng, you still need to know their whereabouts as soon as possible. If possible, how many times?" Send someone to monitor him, so that if he does something wrong, the Marquis can prepare earlier."

After giving orders to Ju Shou, Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu and said, "Chang Shi, the supply of food and grass for Tai Shi's kind army must not make any mistakes, otherwise it will cause the army's morale to be unstable."

"Please rest assured, my lord." Although Xun Yu was Han Zhan's elder, he still showed enough respect for Han Zhan.He replied respectfully: "The subordinate has already ordered someone to send ten days' worth of military rations to General Taishi's camp. Presumably, the rations have already been put into storage by now."
