Sun Guanduiguan, Li Jianyan, Zhou Jianjiu and Wu Jianqian were authorized by Wang Chen and immediately went to get busy.

The other officials wanted to speak and stopped, and they all wanted to make meritorious contributions, but Wang Chen didn't give them a chance, so they scratched their heads and scratched their ears anxiously.

But Wang Chen still ate the dishes without hurrying, and only after a small half a ring did he say: "Ding signed the judgment, go for me to see if the four of them have already gone to do something." ”

"Yes, Zhizhou. Ding got up and left.

It stands to reason that anyone who has such a major event as counterinsurgency will be impatient if it happens within their jurisdiction, but Wang Chen did not make any moves, and for a while, the officials present were suspicious.

What's going on?

Does Wang Zhizhou not want to be this Zhizhou?

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to discuss anything in front of Wang Chen, so they all kept silent, wanting to see what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd.

About ten minutes later.

Ding signed the judgment from outside, and reported: "Sun Tuiguan has taken your military talisman to mobilize 4,000 forbidden troops and 1,000 soldiers, and Li Jianyan, Zhou Jianjiu and Wu Jianqian have launched a government service to summon the relatives of the township soldiers and clans to come to the state government, and they have all been on the road. ”

"Well, close the door. Wang Chen took a sip of wine.

One of the officials, who was near the door, got up and closed the door.

Everyone looked towards Wang Chen and knew that they were going to get down to business.

Wang Chen did not hesitate, and first told the news that he used 10,000 village soldiers to defeat Bagan in eight or nine days, and then promised to lure high-ranking officials with generous lucrative benefits as before.

Before going back in time, these people were willing to follow along.

This time was no exception, as soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, everyone expressed their willingness to drag their families to Bagan together.

At the thought of becoming a courtier, everyone was overjoyed.

However, some people still have some questions, such as Secretary Xu Zhang, who wondered: "Zhizhou, my subordinates don't know whether to say anything or not." ”

Say. Wang Chen said simply and simply.

Secretary Xu Zhang said: "Since you led 10,000 township soldiers to attack Bagan, why did you frame them for rebellion and let Sun Tuiguan lead people to arrest their families?"

That's right.

Why?

Everyone looked towards Wang Chen, wanting to hear his explanation.

Wang Chen put down his chopsticks, looked around with a smile, and said softly: "If you don't do this, how can you logically let 10,000 township soldiers, their families, and clans disappear from Jinghai?" After a pause, he said meaningfully, "After all, there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 people." ”

There were only 10,000 village soldiers.

But every township soldier has family members and relatives, and counting the people of the clan, 200,000 is only a lot more.

In ancient times, population was a very important resource, if it disappeared from his jurisdiction for no reason, even if Zhao Kuangyin needed electricity again, he would definitely be angry and dismissed Wang Chen, and even ordered to kill his head.

Naturally, he needed a proper reason to make these people disappear.

The reason for this is very simple.

Since they are ready to frame Sun Guantuan and others for rebellion, then these 10,000 township soldiers and the people of their family and clan must have been "killed".

Not only were they killed, but even the houses and even villages with these people would be burned, as for Lao Zhao's people to investigate the problem of corpses afterwards, it would be simpler, when they sent people to Bagan, they would come back with more ashes from Bagan, anyway, so many people died in Bagan before the war, and there were many bones.

Wang Chen took these aspects into account.

Maybe there will be a lot of flaws in it, but Lao Zhao has no evidence.

All the officials are not stupid, and when they heard Wang Chen say this, they all understood.

Lu Zhengqing hesitated: "You mean...... You deliberately asked Sun Tuiguan to do this?"

"Not bad. Wang Chen bowed his head and said: "Not only will the families and clans of the 10,000 township soldiers disappear for this reason, but you will also be the same. ”

When Ding signed the judgment, he immediately clapped his hands sincerely and applauded: "Wonderful, in this way, we don't have to bear the infamy, and we can be officials in Bagan with peace of mind, and it will not lead to hostility between the two countries, Zhizhou's trick is really wonderful." ”

"Yes. ”

"If the real reason for our departure is known to the imperial court, it will inevitably lead to a lot of trouble, and according to the emperor's temperament, it is possible to send troops to attack Bagan. ”

"Zhizhou has just conquered Bagan, and it is in urgent need of developing national strength, so it is indeed not suitable for war. ”

"Sacrificing a few people in exchange for the stability of the two countries, Sun Tuiguan died a well-deserved death. ”

"Zhizhou's plan is powerful. ”

The officials laughed.

They could all see that Sun Guanguan and the three prison officials had already died.

Since the 10,000 township soldiers did not rebel, then Wang Chen's previous rebellion in Tongzhou Zhizhou Zenghuan definitely does not exist, and when Sun observed the Tuiguan leading the troops to cross the border, even if there are a thousand mouths, he can't tell clearly.

At this moment, they finally understood why Wang Chen, who had made such a big contribution to the suppression, did not personally lead the troops there, and the co-authorship was originally to sacrifice Sun Guanguan and others.

From ancient times to the present, those who have achieved great things are more or less cruel, what is it to frame and kill a few people?

Therefore, all the officials didn't think much about it, but mistakenly thought that Sun Guantui and others were pawns abandoned by Wang Chen to cover everyone's safety.

Actually, they don't know at all.

Sun Guanguan and the other three prison officials originally wanted to kill them, but Wang Chen only exchanged courtesies.

Seeing that everyone understood, Wang Chen didn't explain too much, "Okay, I now tell you to do a few things, after you are done, you go home as soon as possible to pack up the softness, bring your family members and clan people to the state office, I will use the immortal method to bring you to Bagan in batches." ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

Everyone agreed.

Wang Chen knocked lightly on the table and gave an order: "When the families and clansmen of the township soldiers come, you will work together to control Li Jian Yan, Zhou Jian Jiu and Wu Jian Qian, and then let people clean up the families of the township soldiers and the clansmen.

"Don't worry, we don't lack that money. Ding said with a smile.

Other people don't have any opinions, to say something unpleasant, they don't have too many benefits behind Wang Chen, for example, Ding signed the judgment, opened three Wang Ji in Gusu, with a profit of nearly 100,000 yuan a year, and need to be greedy for the money of "being a poor soldier"?

The families of the township soldiers add up to about forty or fifty thousand households, and it is already very remarkable that each family can hide more than ten or twenty yuan of money, which is still a relatively wealthy family, even if all of them are relatively rich, all the money and property of forty or fifty thousand households are not counted as fields and real estate, and it will be four or five hundred thousand yuan if they die.

There are more than 20 officials here, and if the average score is average, each person can get a maximum of 20,000 yuan, and they have to risk being killed by Wang Chen, is it worth it?

It's not easy to get money.

Apply to Wang Chen for a Wang Ji Kai.

Besides, this time they followed Wang Chen to Bagan to be the founding courtiers, and they will hold power in the future, what do they want?

Naturally, they don't look down on the little money of the family members of the township soldiers.

Wang Chen was very satisfied with their attitude, and continued: "After cleaning up their soft and soft clothes, remember to burn the house with a fire, like some entire villages are related to the village soldiers, you directly burned the village, what about me, I will personally go to Tongzhou City, tell Zeng Zhizhou, Sun Tuiguan stole my talisman and rebelled, so that he could be prepared." ”

Qian Liangguan interjected: "Zhizhou, I have something I don't understand. ”

Wang Chen looked over, "What's the matter?"

"If it's self-defeating, what if Sun Tuiguan really reverses?" Qian Liangguan said the question in his heart, "If he can hold a talisman in his hand, plus the combat strength of the four thousand forbidden troops is amazing, if he really wants to launch a ruthless attack, it is not impossible to break through Tongzhou City." ”

Wang Chen smiled dumbly and said, "Do you really think that my Zhizhou's military talisman can mobilize four thousand forbidden troops?"

One of the prison officials was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Wang Chen carefully explained: "The premise of the four thousand forbidden troops being transferred by Sun Tuiguan with a military talisman is that the governor of Tongzhou has rebelled, otherwise I can only be mobilized in person, as long as Sun Tui's officers and soldiers are under the city of Tongzhou, I personally go out, and the four thousand forbidden troops will immediately turn their guns." ”

There is another sentence he didn't say, these 4,000 forbidden troops were sent by Zhao Kuangyin to monitor Wang Chen, unless there is an urgent matter such as rebellion and rebellion, it will be mobilized by the Zhizhou soldiers, and at other times, they will only listen to Wang Chen's orders on the surface.

Of course, if Wang Chen rebels, these 4,000 forbidden troops will carry out Zhao Kuangyin's "supreme order" and directly kill Wang Chen.

It's just that during the period when the mission was completed, the supreme commander of the 4,000 forbidden army was Wang Chen, so he was not afraid that Sun Guan's official dog would really succeed in his rebellion by jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Moreover, in this way, Wang Chen could have blamed General Qin for not knowing right and wrong, listening to the traitor's words, and even wronging the other party for rebellion.

After listening to all the explanations, the officials present suddenly realized that they admired Wang Chen for a while.

"Zhizhou, high. ”

"It's too high. ”

"Haha, everything is under your control, I said no wonder you are willing to hand over the talisman to Sun Tuiguan, it turns out that you still have a hand. ”

"First told Sun Tuiguan and others that Zeng Huan, the governor of Tongzhou, and Xiao Jianhua, the leader of the 10,000 township soldiers, secretly formed an alliance to prepare for a rebellion, and then let Sun Tuiguan come up with a plan to enter the urn, pretending to hand over the talismans, and finally in turn to catch them all. ”

Ding signed the judgment and said excitedly: "If things really go according to Zhizhou's thoughts, and it will be a great achievement afterwards, maybe Your Majesty will be rewarded again...... Zhizhou, the subordinates have lost their words, and we will be Bagan in the future...... No, it should be a person from the Chinese Empire, and do you care if the emperor of the Song Dynasty rewards him or not? Anyway, Zhizhou's trick of getting rid of the golden cicada is perfect, and I am convinced. ”

Lu Zhengqing was full of praise and said: "Yes, we went to the Chinese Empire as court officials without knowing it, and Zhizhou's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea is rare in the world." ”

This is not their sycophancy, but praise from the heart, at the same time, everyone secretly felt in their hearts, saying that Wang Zhizhou is really too grandson, and he never thought about giving Sun Tuiguan a way to live, in order to make the other party a scapegoat, he is simply going to kill everything, and he must listen to him well in the future, and he doesn't know how to die if he doesn't die.

Looking at everyone's convincing faces, Wang Chen smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't brag about me, hurry up and do a good job of the things I explained, and notify me immediately after you set fire to the homes and villages of the township soldiers, and I will enter Tongzhou City to inform Zeng Zhizhou." ”
