Han Zhan and the others walked forward for a few more miles, and then they saw people waiting on both sides of the official road.

In the sound of drums, Xun Yu came up with a group of civil and military officers from Jizhou, and bowed to Han Zhan who was sitting on horseback: "Subordinates welcome the lord back to the court, congratulations to the lord for setting Qingzhou!" ”

After the civil and military affairs in Jizhou, the civil and military officials who came to greet Han Zhan also stepped forward and bowed to Han Zhan neatly: "We welcome the return of the Marquis of Anyang, and congratulate the Marquis of Anyang on his pacification of Qingzhou!" ”

For the subordinates who came to greet him, Han Zhan could also sit on horseback. But in the face of the Chinese military officials representing Emperor Xian of Han, he did not dare to hold on to him so much, otherwise someone would definitely evaluate him as a flying and domineering, he quickly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and saluted the officials.

As he bowed to everyone, Han Zhan's gaze quickly swept over the crowd, trying to find the waiter Yang Qi, who had been calculating him behind his back. But after looking at it for a moment, he was disappointed, there were hundreds of civil and military officials in front of him, not to mention a waiter who had never met before, even some familiar officials, they couldn't find out from the crowd in a hurry.

Taiwei Yang Biao came out of the crowd and said to Han Zhan with a smile: "Marquis of Anyang, the Holy Lord has prepared a banquet for you in the palace, let's hurry up and enter the city." ”

Looking at Yang Biao who was talking to him, Han Zhan was secretly thinking in his heart: That Yang Qi and Yang Biao won't be relatives, right? If the two have anything to do with each other, once they make a move against Yang Qi in the future, won't they offend the respected old minister in front of them?

In order to find out whether there was any connection between the two, Han Zhan said respectfully: "Captain, take a step to speak." ”

After the two came to the side, Han Zhan lowered his voice and asked Yang Biao: "Dare to ask the captain, I don't know what Yang Qi has to do with the captain?" ”

"He is Yang's brother." Yang Biao didn't know why Han Zhan suddenly asked about Yang Qi, and after truthfully explaining the relationship between the two, he asked curiously: "Why did Anyang Hou suddenly ask about him?" ”

Knowing that Yang Qi was actually Yang Biao's cousin, Han Zhan couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, thinking that the two were just related to each other, and when he dealt with Yang Qi in the future, he would have fewer worries. Who knew that the two were still cousins, which would be offensive, if his subordinates wanted to punish Yang Qi and the three clans, wouldn't even Yang Biao have to be eliminated together?

Although he was shocked in his heart, on the surface, Han Zhan replied with a normal expression: "Taiwei, Benhou has just recovered Qingzhou, and he plans to choose a capable minister to guard it. Someone recommended Yang Shizhong to Ben Hou, saying that he could be qualified for the post of Qingzhou pastor, but Ben Hou was not familiar with him, so he asked Tai Wei about it. ”

"Anyang Hou," Yang Biao showed a confused expression on his face after listening to Han Zhan's words: "But haven't you already expressed Zang Hong as the pastor of Qingzhou?" ”

After hearing Yang Biao's question, Han Zhan laughed dryly twice, and replied with some embarrassment: "Ben Hou shouldn't know Yang Shizhong, so he temporarily expressed Zang Hong's position as the acting pastor of Qingzhou. ”

Yang Biao never dreamed that Han Zhan said that he was ready to let Yang Qi take the position of Qingzhou pastor, which was just a pretext, and his real purpose was to find out the connection between Yang Biao and Yang Qi.

…………

went to the palace to meet Emperor Han Xian, and after enjoying the reception banquet, Han Zhan returned to his mansion before dark. After entering the mansion, he did not rush to the backyard to meet his family, but gathered his civil and military forces to discuss matters.

The civil and military officers who accompanied Han Zhan on the expedition had long guessed that after the reception banquet was over, Han Zhan would definitely convene a meeting, so they did not drink alcohol at the banquet. But the civil and military forces who stayed behind didn't know so much, and most of them were drunk. Even Chang Shi Xunyu was sitting in his seat, drowsy.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Zhan opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, Benhou has summoned you here today to discuss important matters. ”

"Lord!" As soon as Han Zhan's words were finished, Xun Yu stood up and said with a big tongue: "The lord has just returned to Jingshi, and he has been working hard all the way, if it is not an important matter, it is better to talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Changshi don't be impatient, please sit down first, and listen to Ben Hou finish speaking." When he was just outside the city, because there were civil and military officials of the imperial court around, there were some things that Han Zhan couldn't tell Xun Yu and the others, but at this moment, in his mansion, in front of his own people, he could know everything.

After Xun Yu re-seated, Han Zhan continued: "The reason why Ben Hou convened the Er and Others after the reception banquet in the Holy Heaven was dispersed was because there were people in the court who tried to disadvantage Ben Hou. ”

"What, there are people in the court who want to be unfavorable to the lord?" Han Zhan's words startled the remaining Zhu Wenwu, except for the frustration who knew the inside story, the rest of the people were shocked. Tian Feng stood up and asked tentatively: "What the lord said, is there real evidence, or is he listening to what others say?" ”

What Ben Hou said naturally has real evidence. The ministers of the court secretly colluded with the foreign ministers and tried to attack the army on the way back to the division; What's more, assassins were even sent to dig tunnels in the place where the army was encamped in advance, and after dark, sneak into the tent to assassinate Ben Hou. After Han Zhan finished speaking, he ignored the expression of the remaining civil and military guards, but turned his head and instructed Rob, who was standing behind him, "Give the assassin's confession and Cao Taishou's letter to the rank of lord to browse." ”

Rob agreed, walked out from behind Han Zhan, and handed over the letter and confession that had been prepared to Changshi Xunyu's hands. Xun Yu, who was full of doubts, took the thing, only glanced at it a few times, and then was shocked, and said in a loud voice: "How can this be true, these courtiers are really too deceitful......

After reading Cao Cao's letter and the assassin's confession, and learning about the conspiracy of the ministers of the court, the civil and military officials who stayed behind were all shocked into a cold sweat. Zhang He stood up, clenched his fists and said to Han Zhan: "Please give an order to the lord, a certain is willing to lead the troops to arrest these courtiers and hand them over to the lord to be punished." ”

Xun Yu was already scared awake after reading the letter, although he hated the actions of those courtiers, but when he heard Zhang He's request to arrest those courtiers who were plotting against Han Zhan behind his back, he quickly stood up and stopped: "General Jun Yi, don't be impatient, this matter involves a wide range of things, if you act rashly, I am afraid it will be a bloody storm." It's better to think long-term and think of a safe way. ”

"Xun Changshi," Seeing Xun Yu standing up against it, Zhang He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then resolutely said: "Since these courtiers already have the idea of eradicating the lord, if we don't take action as soon as possible, once they become the climate, and then want to get rid of them, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

"General Junyi, sit down." After Han Zhan waited for Zhang He to finish speaking, he said: "These courtiers have no soldiers in their hands, even if they want to deal with Benhou, they can only rely on external forces. As long as we send people to keep a close watch on them, so that they can't get in touch with the outside world, they will become tigers with their teeth pulled out, and they will not be able to become the climate. ”

Seeing that Han Zhan seemed to have considered this matter, Zhang He didn't say anything more, just clasped his fists at him and saluted, and then returned to his position.
