The next morning, Han Zhan came to the palace under the hug of Luo Bu and others.

Since it was not yet the time of the court, you could see from a distance that the door of the main hall on the high staircase was closed, and a group of courtiers were gathering on the platform outside the main hall gate. Han Zhan got out of the carriage and walked up the stairs, ready to go up to say hello to those ministers.

Who knew that he had just walked halfway, but he saw Taiwei Yang Biao hurriedly walking down from the platform, and he was still far away, and the other party bowed his hand to Han Zhan with a smile on his face, and greeted politely: "Anyang Hou, you came so early!" ”

Yang Biao's words made Han Zhan stunned, and secretly said that he came early? The courtiers on that platform didn't come earlier. Could it be that he came specifically to find him? Although his heart was full of questions, Han Zhan still pretended to be indifferent, and bowed down to Yang Biao: "I've seen Captain Yang." ”

After Yang Biao walked in front of Han Zhan, he turned his head to look up, and found that many courtiers were looking at him and Han Zhan, and some were pointing with their fingers.

"Anyang Hou," thinking that he took the initiative to come over to greet Han Zhan, he really had something to ask for, and this matter was related to the life and death of the Yang family, so he could only come to see Han Zhan with a cheeky face: "Can you take a step to speak." ”

Han Zhan looked left and right and found that there were no outsiders on the entire staircase except for himself and Yang Biao. The soldiers standing guard on both sides are still far from their own place, even if Yang Biao says something to him, no one can hear it. In order to find out what Yang Biao was looking for himself, Han Zhan hurriedly arched his hand and said politely: "If the Taiwei has anything to say, just open your mouth, don't be so polite." ”

"Marquis of Anyang, the old man got the news last night, saying that you were attacked by assassins on the way back to the DPRK with a large army." Yang Biao asked tentatively: "I don't know, but it's true?" ”

After the discussion last night, Fu Zhu had privately asked Han Zhan for instructions on whether he could send someone to spread the assassination of the military camp everywhere to test the attitude of all parties. At this moment, since Yang Biao took the initiative to ask about this matter, it proved that they had already received the news, so they would come to test themselves.

After thinking about the key issues, Han Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, Taiwei, there is indeed such a thing. ”

Hearing Han Zhan give him an affirmative answer, Yang Biao trembled after all, and after a long time, he asked with difficulty: "An Yanghou, the mastermind behind a certain non-assassin, is it really ......?" ”

"That's right, it's really Yang Qi in the congregation."

After confirming that his subordinate brother Yang Qi was the commander of Ben Hou, Yang Biao was extremely flustered, he was worried that with Han Zhan's current ability, he could completely set off a bloody storm in the court: "I don't know how Anyang Hou plans to deal with him?" ”

"Taiwei," Han Zhan didn't answer Yang Biao's question, but asked rhetorically, "If you and Ben Hou change places, what will you do with him?" ”

Han Zhan's words stopped Yang Biao. Don't look at Yang Biao, who is usually a person who can speak well, but at this moment, Yang Biao feels that his throat is stuffed and he can't say a word.

At this moment, a little yellow came down the stairs and came to Han Zhan and Yang Biao's side. The other party obviously knew Yang Biao, and after bowing to Yang Biao, he turned to Han Zhan and said respectfully: "Marquis of Anyang, the saint is invited, please come with our family." ”

After Han Zhan left with Xiao Huangmen, Taifu Ma Riyan came to Yang Biao's side and asked with concern: "Taiwei, what did you say to Anyang Hou just now, I see that you are sweating profusely, are you unwell?" ”

"Uncle Weng," Yang Biao called Ma Riyan's words, and said in a low voice: "Gongting sent someone to assassinate Anyang Hou, and the rumor has leaked out, I think Anyang Hou already knows that the assassin who assassinated him was sent by Gongting." ”

Don't look at Yang Biao and Ma Riyan who did not participate in Yang Qi's conspiracy, but what the other party did was somewhat heard. Now that he learned that Han Zhan had already known about the small actions made behind Yang Qi's back, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and he asked cautiously: "Taiwei, I don't know that Anyang Hou is going to deal with this matter like this." Could it be like Dong Thief back then......"

"Be careful, be careful!" Before Ma Riyan finished speaking, Yang Biao raised his hand to interrupt his later words: "Now there are eyes and ears of the Marquis of Anyang inside and outside the court, be careful that the wall has ears." What will happen next, the old man doesn't know, let's just let it be. ”

Besides, Han Zhan was called to the apse by Emperor Han Xian, and after the salute, Emperor Han Xian asked straight to the point: "Marquis of Anyang, I heard that on your way back to the capital, you were attacked by assassins, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Han Zhan's next arrangements also needed the help of Emperor Han Xian, so he did not hide this matter.

Hearing that there were really assassins who wanted to kill Han Zhan, Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but raise his voice: "I don't know who these assassins are responsible for, I want to destroy his three clans and vent my anger for the Marquis of Anyang." ”

Seeing that Emperor Han Xian clearly stated that he wanted to stand by his side, Han Zhan smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, after the interrogation of the ministers, the assassins confessed that they were instructed by Yang Qi in the service to come to the military camp to assassinate the ministers. ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty privately summoned Han Zhan in front of the Shang Dynasty to learn about the origin of the assassin. He wishfully thought in his heart that it was just some remnants of Dong Zhuo, and if he wanted to avenge Dong Zhuo, he would send someone to assassinate Han Zhan, as long as he expressed his support for the other party and intended to severely punish the mastermind behind the assassin, Han Zhan would be grateful to himself.

But he never dreamed that the mastermind behind the assassin would actually be Yang Qi and others, who were important ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and at this time they were also the subordinate brothers of the Taiwei Yang Biao, and once they were not handled properly, it would cause turmoil in the DPRK and China. For a time, Emperor Han Xian became helpless.

Seeing Emperor Han Xian sitting in a daze, Han Zhan guessed what was on the other party's mind, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability of the court, the ministers can dispose of these courtiers without thunder means, but they can't continue to stay in the court." ”

Emperor Han Xian listened to Han Zhan's tone, and didn't seem to want to kill these courtiers, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked cautiously: "I don't know what the Marquis of Anyang is going to do with them?" ”

"Qingzhou is newly determined, and there is a lack of competent officials to manage." Han Zhan saw that Emperor Han Xian took the initiative to ask him for advice, so he said unceremoniously: "The minister thinks that Yang Qi is fully qualified for the position of Changshi." ”

"Let Yang Qi serve as the governor of Qingzhou?" Emperor Han Xian hesitated for a long time about the position that Han Zhan arranged for Yang Qi, and finally nodded in agreement, after all, this could save Yang Qi's life: "What the Marquis of Anyang said is extremely true, when the early dynasty is in the future, I will appoint Yang Qi as the governor of Qingzhou in public. Then how do the other courtiers, the Marquis of Anyang, plan to settle them? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words," Han Zhan replied without humility or arrogance: "The minister has already said that Qingzhou is newly established and lacks capable officials to govern. Since Yang Qi can serve as the governor of Qingzhou, then the vacant positions of Taishou and county commander in Qingzhou might as well be held by someone close to Yang Changshi. ”

Emperor Han Xian originally thought that such a big thing happened, no matter how good Han Zhan's character was, he would definitely have to kill a few courtiers who participated in the conspiracy before the matter could be over. At this moment, seeing that Han Zhan did not kill these courtiers, but only demoted them from the Beijing Division, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly and replied: "The Marquis of Anyang is still magnanimous, and when the early dynasty comes, I will definitely send these courtiers to Qingzhou as soon as possible to take up their posts."
