Chapter 573: Ten Birds in the Forest
"Congratulations, Lord!"
The outsiders dispersed, and even newcomers like Cao Shen, who had joined for less than two years, retreated, and seeing that only he and Gongao were left with two "confidants", Chen Ping generously congratulated Heifu and called him the monarch.
Heifu was ordered to go out of the county to quell the rebellion, and in the three months that he was not in Jiaodong, Chen Ping helped him stabilize the rear as the "county guard chief history", and coordinated with the supervisor and the county, not only did not make Jiaodong chaotic, but also during the period when Heifu initially decided the Linzi Rebellion, he could stabilize the logistics baggage, and even "accept" some of the Qiantou who fled to Jiaodong from Linzi County, which contributed a lot.
Heifu also wanted to pay tribute to the court for him afterwards, but was dismissed by Chen Ping.
His reason was to tell Heifu in private: "A few years ago, Chen Ping was already famous in the north, and if Ping's title is promoted again, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to be a staff member by the side of the monarch......"
This sentence made the complacent Gong Ao who became the "five doctors" because of his efforts to capture the flag.
He is loyal to the black man who is in danger in order to fulfill the promise of "taking you home". is to be the head of the Qian, with a group of brothers who are also mud-legged grassroots, in this turbulent torrent, he killed a way and told them that "the prince will be the prime minister, and he would rather have a kind of black husband". It is not the imperial court that Gongao scoffed at a long time ago, and it is not the emperor who took advantage of the soldiers of Nanjun and took them as a reward after they were still in the southern wilderness of Yuzhang......
One of the things that Gongao is most proud of is that when Heifu was newly married, he was the only one who resolutely resigned, and traveled thousands of miles to the north to hold the bridle for Heifu's deputy car, and stayed by his side, rising step by step with him, attacking the Huns in the north, Dongping Seashore, and the world looked sideways, this is what the big husband did!
Not only has his horizons broadened a lot, but his title has also risen higher and higher, far surpassing Lixian, Dongmen Leopard, and Xiaotao who stayed in Yuzhang as county lieutenants, not to mention Ji Ying, who was the first to follow Heifu. In this regard, Gongao is quite complacent.
But Chen Ping's words made him suddenly realize.
Yes, if his title is promoted again, to the level of "Qing", it will be difficult to continue to be a "doorman" for Heifu, maybe one day, he will be requisitioned and transferred away by the imperial court, and at that time, does he still want to resign like in the past?
So he had to admire, Chen Ping is still smart, he knows hidden skills.
It's a pity that Gongao's title has already been obtained, and it is impossible to return it, so I can only secretly ponder that if I encounter similar things in the future, I must avoid showing my head and making meritorious contributions.
On Chen Ping's side, Heifu was not selfless, he had to make a contribution to Chen Ping, but privately gave him 400,000 yuan, and Gongao also got 200,000 yuan......
I don't understand what the dividend is, he just continued to concentrate and listened to the conversation between Heifu and Chen Ping.
"What do you congratulate me? Honorable for the eldest chief? ”
Heifu looked at the documents that Chen Ping brought from the county government, and his answer seemed a little careless. Heifu, who was promoted two levels in a row and was only one step away from the wish of the marquis, had long since lost the novelty of capturing thieves as a public warrior in Anlu County ten years ago, and the joy of beheading him in the Battle of Waihuang. After all, upgrading this kind of thing is too many times, and one day it will become numb.
He put down the file and said: "You should know that Your Majesty gave me a red clothes, but the deep clothes are dyed red with the blood of tens of thousands of people!" Since then, when I mention Heifu, I will think of my behavior of beheading thousands of white-headed old men in Linzi, and I will think of my proposal to the emperor to nail the traitor in the pavilion and the way of the road, and the number of people who hate me in the world is ten times more than in the past, which is also worthy of congratulations? ”
Chen Ping said with a smile: "The Zhao people can remember the revenge of Bai Qi Tu Changping, and often want to revenge Qin, because the parents, brothers and wives of the 450,000 Zhao people are still alive. Of course, Zhao's neighbors, such as Yan, will remember all this, but they no longer hate Wu Anjun and Qin, but revere them! ”
"Now the situation is similar, the traitors and thieves are dead, the families of the thieves are either fleeing or captured, and the captured people have to be sent to the Great Wall, Lishan, Zhangye, and Liaodong to serve hard labor, and their hatred cannot hurt the lord in the slightest. And its neighbors, the township party, and even the people of the world, except for those traitors who are bent on opposing the restoration of Qin, ordinary people should be more afraid than resentful of the sovereign when they hear about this......"
After saying all this in one breath, Chen Ping concluded: "There is a saying in Ping's hometown, ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand!" At present, the people of the world are afraid of the monarch or resentful, it is harmless, but the people of Jiaodong are quite grateful to the monarch, which is the most important thing today. ”
This matter, when the county's noble nobles greeted Heifu by Weishui, Heifu understood.
People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, because Heifu took the first step, wiped out or relocated the fields in Jiaodong, and took advantage of Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour to strengthen public security, cracked down on light chivalry activities, and fundamentally cut off the source of rebellion.
So when Langya came out with an assassination case and arrested people everywhere. When 10,000 people in Linzi County rebelled, swept through several counties, and almost even Linzi changed banners. When Jibei failed to make up for the loss, Zhutian raised an incident, affecting half of the county. Only in Jiaodong, there were only sporadic light heroes making trouble, which was easily solved as a "public security problem".
When Heifu gathered the army of various counties and fought with the thieves in Gaotang, with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians killed and wounded, and tens of thousands of displaced people, many Linzi refugees came to Jiaodong to seek refuge.
Therefore, in Jiaodong County, in addition to the old Jiang Qi clan, the vested interests of the government such as Dedi Luzuo, and the scholars of all walks of life are secretly happy to see the rich and prosperous Linzi next door in a withered and chaotic manner......
"Fortunately, the county guard of Jiaodong is a capable official!"
When the captured traitors were taken by the officials to the pavilion and nailed to the wooden frame, the locals in Jiaodong were not only related to each other, but also thought: "Fortunately, Wei Jun guarded Jiaodong and treated the people kindly, and never punished without teaching." ”
People's psychology, as long as the fire does not burn to the beams of their own houses, they like to watch the fire from the other side.
Good people are not guilty, traitors deserve it, this is the idea of most Jiaodong Qiantou, as for the pain wailing of prisoners, go farther, cover their ears, and slowly and naturally fade away, by the way, warn the children of their own family: "Don't learn from their peers to rebel, harm yourself, and harm your family." ”
In short, in the past three months, Heifu's reputation in Jiaodong has soared from the previous "friendliness" to "reverence", which is what Chen Ping said "a bird in hand"!
In Chen Ping's opinion, this is what Heifu has planned a long time ago, it seems to be stained with blood and self-staining, but in fact it is prestigious!
"Therefore, the matter of congratulating the lord is not the lord and the lord, but the ......."
Chen Ping bowed to the black master: "It's the cave of Jiaodong, it's done!" ”
The old man was stunned, the conversation between the two had too many metaphors, and he couldn't understand it at all, such as what kind of bird? What cave? What the hell does it mean!
Chen Ping explained: "If you have a bird in your hand, the bird will enter the cave, and when its wings are full, it can spread its wings and fly. ”
As he spoke, he also looked at Heifu, which was a temptation, but Heifu didn't scold, just shook his head and didn't say anything.
This reminded Gongao of many years ago, when he and Chen Ping, who had just arrived, were not very harmonious, until one day he said the wrong thing, saying, "Yuzhang is the backyard of the county lieutenant's house!" He was scolded by Heifu, but Chen Ping found him and said that he thought it was true! Taking this as an opportunity, the relationship between the two has improved slightly, and now they have become Heifu's right-hand man. (Chapter 425)
Gong Ao seems to understand a little.
But it was easy to understand one thing, but Chen Ping began to say something he didn't understand: "Lord, but there is still a hidden danger in this cave. Although they have fallen out of favor by themselves, but as the sun gradually sets, who knows if there will be a day when they will be re-enabled, and at that time, the situation in Jiaodong will be variable again. ”
"Got it."
Heifu finally spoke, Chen Ping was right, it is possible to change the emperor's thoughts and plans for Jiaodong in the future, there is only a group of people left, you have to guard against it, anyway, you have a feud, you just have a bunch of black material in your hand, how can you not fall into the ground?
"But this time, the other generation showed too many feet, and I didn't even need to take action in person, so naturally someone happily did it for me......"
……
In mid-July, Qin Shi Huang, who had arrived in Jiujiang County, received a secret report from the two counties of Jiaodong and Linzi: saying that in the process of tracking down the traitors, he found that a warlock had participated in the rebellion of Zhutian and contacted Haoqiang Qingxia for him......
"There are even traitors who confessed, saying that the rumors that His Majesty was assassinated and dead, are also spread by the warlocks around him!"
