"Gong He," Guo Jia waited for Zhang He to return to his position, and then said to the frustrated master: "During the period when the lord went on the expedition, you have always been responsible for monitoring the courtiers, you tell everyone which courtiers are trying to be unfavorable to the lord." ”

Hearing Guo Jia call the name of Fu Zhu, everyone instinctively focused their eyes on him. After getting up and walking to the middle of the room, he bowed to Han Zhan, who was sitting on it, and said loudly: "Lord Qi, after a detailed investigation by his subordinates, there are a total of 39 courtiers who participated in the conspiracy to kill the lord, and the leader is Yang Qi. Then he read the names of the courtiers involved in the conspiracy, as well as the positions they held.

"What, the leader is Yang Qi?" Zhu Wenwu, who was originally full of righteous indignation, showed a shocked expression on his face after hearing Yang Qi's name. If it were someone else, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have such an expression, but Yang Qi is the brother of Taiwei Yang Biao, which makes everyone feel like a rat trap.

Several officials had planned to wait for the mastermind to be revealed, and then admonished Han Zhan to cut down these bold courtiers. But after learning that the mastermind was Yang Qi, they became hesitant again.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Seeing that all the civil and military forces were silent, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Tell me, how should Benhou deal with Yang Qi and the others?" ”

There was silence again.

After a long time, Xun Yu came to the middle of the room, bowed down and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, this matter is very important, in order not to cause turmoil, we still need to think about it in the long run. ”

"What the long history says is extremely true." As soon as Xun Yu's words were finished, Tian Feng stood up and echoed: "The imperial court has just moved the capital, and the people in Beijing are unstable, if you rashly dispose of so many courtiers, I am afraid it will cause new turmoil." ”

"Changshi, Mr. Tian's words are wrong." Huang Zhong, who had always remained silent, stood up and raised his voice and said: "Not only did they send people to assassinate the lord, but they even colluded with the Taishou outside to disadvantage the lord. If we let it go unchecked, sooner or later it will become a great disaster. ”

Huang Zhong's words immediately aroused the response of the generals, and everyone said that they should make a decision immediately and eradicate all these courtiers who did not know whether they were alive or dead. Otherwise, in time, it will become a great disaster.

Guo Jia remained silent the rest of the time except for saying a word when he asked about it, and at this moment, seeing that the civil and military sides were arguing, he did not take sides, but looked at Han Zhan and asked, "I don't know how the lord plans to deal with this matter." ”

As soon as Han Zhan stood up, the entire lobby became quiet again. After his gaze swept over everyone, he said: "Mr. Changshi Hetian is right, the imperial court has just moved the capital, and the people in Beijing are unstable. ”

Seeing that Han Zhan's tone was obviously biased towards civil officials, the generals couldn't sit still, Huang Zhong was about to speak again, when he heard Han Zhan continue: "But what Han Sheng and the others said is also reasonable, if we allow these courtiers to do anything wrong, sooner or later it will become a big disaster for us." ”

After saying this, Han Zhan paused for a moment, then turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Qingzhou has not been established for a long time, and there are many vacancies in various Taishou and county orders, so it is better to suggest to Your Majesty that officials be sent from the DPRK to take up posts." ”

"Lord, this is not appropriate." Huang Zhong, as the deputy marshal of the army going to Qingzhou, knew the situation in Qingzhou very well, and the people had just been pacified, and the people were determined that if they sent courtiers who were enemies of Han Zhan, they were afraid that there would be more trouble, so they hurriedly dissuaded and said: "If those courtiers are allowed to go to Qingzhou and serve as the Taishou and county commanders, they will be worried that Qingzhou will fall into their hands after a long time." ”

"Hansheng don't have to worry." After Han Zhan waited for Huang Zhong to finish speaking, he waved his hand at him and said, "After this marquis split these courtiers, he sent them to Qingzhou to serve as the taishou and county commanders, so that they could not continue to hold together. At the same time, send people to monitor and cut off their contact with each other, and in time, these courtiers will not be able to speak alone, and there will be no climate. How to deal with them at that time is not a sentence from Ben Hou. ”

After Han Zhan's words were finished, Zhong Wenwu was stunned for a moment, and then Guo Jia took the lead and said: "The lord's plan is very clever, even if he drives these courtiers out of the capital division, he will not be truthful. Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Just when everyone unanimously applauded, Tian Feng said inappropriately: "The lord's plan is indeed good, but will the Holy Lord agree to send so many courtiers to serve in Qingzhou?" ”

"Yuan Hao doesn't have to worry," Guo Jia called Tian Feng's words and said to him: "The Holy Lord has always been obedient to the lord, if he learned that so many important ministers could be transferred from the court to the newly recovered Qingzhou to stabilize the situation, it would be too late to be happy, where would he object." ”

After discussing some more details, Han Zhan saw that it was getting late, so he waved his hand at everyone and said, "It's not early, everyone go back and rest." Wait for tomorrow morning, and then make a proposal to Your Majesty, so that these courtiers on the list can rush to Qingzhou as soon as possible. Gonghe, you stay, Ben Hou still has something to say. ”

After waiting for the rest of the civil and military forces to be gone, he respectfully asked Han Zhan: "Lord, I don't know what you command?" ”

"Liu Bei Liu Xuande, where are you now?" Han Zhan asked simply.

"Back to the lord's words," Fu Zhu hurriedly replied, "After the lord entered the city, his subordinates have ordered Liu Xuande to be released from the prison and placed him in a mansion in the east of the city. In order to prevent him from escaping, his subordinates deployed no less than 50 secret sentries in the nearby shopkeeper's house, and in addition, there were two patrols of 100 people around. Once the secret sentinel finds out that Liu Xuande is about to escape, it will immediately send out a good fortune, and the nearby patrols and secret sentinels can go over and capture Liu Bei......"

Regarding the arrangement of frustration, Han Zhan did not express any opinions, but continued to ask: "Have Guan Yu and Zhang Fei met with Liu Bei?" ”

"Yes, the three brothers have already met in the mansion." Fu Zhu reported to Han Zhan: "After the three of them met, they hugged their heads and cried, and then went to the flower hall to talk, and the secret sentry sent by their subordinates couldn't get close, and I don't know what they said. ”

"Remove all the secret sentinels around Liu Bei's mansion." After Han Zhan finished speaking, he instructed him: "Liu Bei is now a toothless tiger, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, even if he wants to toss, he can't make any big waves." ”

"But Liu Bei's two righteous brothers are both people with excellent martial arts, if they are used by others, I am afraid they will ......"

Han Zhan didn't wait for Frustration to finish speaking, and then interrupted his later words: "Gonghe, Ben Hou understands what you mean. However, when he was conquering Qingzhou, Ben Hou promised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that as long as they worked for Ben Hou, after returning to Yedu, they would be reunited with Liu Bei, and as for their future stay, they were left to their own devices. Gonghe, don't fall into the situation of Benhou's inhumanity and injustice, understand? ”

"Subordinates understand, subordinates understand." After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly agreed: "My subordinates will send people to withdraw all the secret posts and patrols deployed in Liu Bei's mansion." ”
