Chapter 722: Point to Point
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Jian Rong frowned, lowered his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know." ”
In fact, he didn't even know who Zhao Xi was. Jian Yong stayed in Wancheng for a long time, but most of the time he was busy with city defense and military affairs, where did he have the extra heart to pay attention to those old ministers in the city?
Zhou Jun reminded in a low voice beside him: "General, Zhao Xi used to be a lieutenant general under Liu Xuan, and he has always had a good relationship with Deng Feng. ”
Hearing this, Jian Rong's brows furrowed even tighter, and he bowed to Liu Xiu and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen failed to find out that there are still Deng Feng's fine works hidden in the city, this is a dereliction of duty by Wechen, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand to the side and said, "Ziling, you sit down first!" "It's not easy for Jian Rong to hold Wancheng, and it's impossible to do everything in every way.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jian Rong bowed again, and then knelt down beside Yan Guang.
Not long after, the official sent by Zhou Jun to Wu Luo's house to pick up letters also returned to the county government and handed over a few letters. Liu Xiu picked up a volume, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully, this letter was written by Zhao Xi to Deng Feng, and the content in it did not contain any shady secret schemes, on the contrary, this was a letter from Zhao Xi to persuade Deng Feng to give up the rebellion and return to the imperial court
Item.
After reading the letter from beginning to end, Liu Xiu put it down and picked up another one, the content of which was almost the same, and it was also written by Zhao Xi to Deng Feng, still persuading him not to rebel and not to confront the imperial court.
There is a lot of content in this letter, and Zhao Xi analyzed the current situation to Deng Feng in detail.
Deng Feng relied on only the county of Nanyang, and Dong Xun, as an ally, was weak and not worth mentioning, Yancen lost his foundation and was difficult to become a big weapon, as for Qin Feng, he was selfish and timid, and it was difficult to conspire. Therefore, the coalition army formed by Deng Feng in Nanyang seems to be powerful, but in fact the foundation is too thin. On the other hand, the Luoyang Imperial Court, with the huge Hebei as the backing, wants soldiers and horses, wants money and grain, and not long ago defeated the Red Mei Army, making Luoyang
In the west, there is no threat, in this case, the Luoyang Imperial Court is bound to concentrate on dealing with you Deng Feng with all its might, what do you use to compete with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Luoyang Imperial Court?
After reading Zhao Xi's letter, Liu Xiu also deliberately looked at the date, which was written by Zhao Xi when he had just forced the Red Mei Army to surrender and had not led his troops south.
Liu Xiu didn't see whether there was an altruistic communication between Zhao Xi and Deng Feng, but he could see that Zhao Xi was quite talented, and he could deduce that he would go all out to deal with Deng Feng after submitting Red Eyebrows.
Then he picked up the other letters and read them one by one. Almost without exception, these letters written by Zhao Xi to Deng Feng were all to persuade Deng Feng to give up the rebellion and lead his troops to surrender.
After Liu Xiudu finished reading them one by one, he put the letter aside, looked at Wu Luo, patted the letter with his hand, and asked, "Wu Luo, is this the evidence of Zhao Xi and Deng Feng's fornication?" ”
Wu Luo had already read the content of the letter, and he had read it many times, and he couldn't wait to figure out whether there were any code words in it word by word.
He shrunk his neck and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, grass people...... The grass people thought that Zhao Xi's letters must have hidden secret words, but they were just ...... The grass people couldn't find it for a while. ”
Liu Xiu casually picked up another letter slip, looked at it closely, then put it down, and said, "How can you conclude that there must be an affair between Zhao Xi and Deng Feng?" Wu Luo Zhengse said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Xi and Deng Feng have a good relationship, when they used to work for Liu Xuan, the two were even more brothers, and now Deng Feng is rebelling, Zhao Xi has no reason not to participate!" He didn't follow Deng Feng, but lurked in Wancheng, definitely
…… There must be another plan! ”
The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked, and said, "So, the fornication between Zhao Xi and Deng Feng that you believe is your own speculation?" ”
Wu Luo was still arguing, but when he saw Liu Xiu's sharp eyes staring at him, his body trembled, lowered his head, and whispered, "Grass people...... The grass people just couldn't find real evidence, so they didn't report the matter...... General Jian! ”
Liu Xiu's fingers lightly tapped on the table, pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Jian Rong, and asked, "Ziling, how do you think Wu Luo bullied men and women in the bazaar and robbed the people's property?" ”
Jian Rong's face sank, and he leaned over and said: "In the opinion of Wei Chen, you should kill chickens and monkeys, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and behead Wu Luo to show the public, so as to set an example!" When Wu Luo heard this, his body immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling, and he almost peed his pants on the spot. Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Wu Luo is hateful, but he is not guilty to death, and he can suspect Zhao Xi and Deng Feng of fornication and secretly intercept the two."
The letters exchanged are enough to prove that he is not confused on the major issues of right and wrong, but is quite scheming. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Wu Luo and said, "Wu Luo, although you are loyal to the Han family, you have also violated the law of the Han Dynasty, I will punish you with thirty rods, and you should learn from this in the future, and you must not commit it again!" ”
Wu Luo was surprised and delighted, knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, burst into tears, and said with a crying voice: "The grass people thank Your Majesty for not killing, and the grass people thank Your Majesty for not killing......"
Zhou Jun beckoned to the officials below, and two officials immediately walked in from the outside and dragged Wu Luo out. Until he was dragged out of the lobby, his thanksgiving could still be heard.
Liu Xiu turned his eyes, looked at Zhou Jun, and asked, "Wu Luo is in the name of Ziling in the city, bullying the weak, does Zhou County Ling know about this matter?" ”
Zhou Jun knelt on the ground with a puff, sweating like rain, and stammered: "Weichen...... Wechen has heard of it......"
"If you know about this, why don't you punish it?"
"This ...... This ......"
"You were originally the master of Junyou (Wan Xuan), and you were promoted by Ziling to become the commander of Wanxian County, you indulged Wu Luo, but you are repaying the favor?" Liu Xiu asked expressionlessly.
Zhou Jun kowtowed forward and said, "Weichen deserves death!" Wechen deserves death! ”
His confession is tantamount to acquiescing in Liu Xiu's statement. Jian Rong glared at Zhou Jun angrily, stood up, walked up to Zhou Jun, raised his hand and pointed at him angrily, and reprimanded: "You! You're such a fool! ”
Zhou Jun was recommended by Jian Rong to do the Wanxian order, and Wu Luo and Jian Rong, although they are not very close relatives, but they are indeed distant relatives, Zhou Jun is looking at Jian Rong's face, so he turned a blind eye to Wu Luo's actions.
Liu Xiu stared at Zhou Jun for a moment, and said: "For the sake of his meritorious service in Wancheng, I will not punish you for the time being, if you bend the law for personal gain in the future, I will severely punish you!" ”
When Zhou Jun heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
After dealing with everything, Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Okay, today's matter, that's it, and the rest of the matter will be handled by Ziling." ”
Zhou Jun said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the official is bringing Zhao Xi to the county government. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Ziling can interrogate him on my behalf, if Zhao Xi does have an affair with Deng Feng, he will be imprisoned on the spot, if he does not have an affair with Deng Feng, he can be brought into our army camp, and I will personally meet him." ”
Yan Guang got up, bowed down, and said, "Weichen obeys!" ”
Liu Xiu didn't stop any longer, and walked out. At the gate of the county office, there were still a lot of people gathered, as well as Wu Luo, who had just been executed with a cane.
Wu Luo is not a tyrant in Wancheng, he has not been in Wancheng for a long time, and usually, he and a few of his subordinates only haunt the market, but even so, there are not a few traders and people who have been bullied by Wu Luo and others.
Now seeing that Wu Luo was tortured with a cane and was beaten and screamed, the surrounding onlookers all clapped their hands and applauded. Seeing Liu Xiu coming out of the county government, the people present knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Your Majesty! ”
Just now, when Zhou Jun was at the gate of the county government, he bowed to Liu Xiu, and the people also saw it, and knew that the handsome young man in front of him was the son of Luoyang.
Seeing the crowd kneeling down, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!" When the people got up one after another, Liu Xiu said loudly: "Wu Luo, in the name of my Han general, is rampant in the city, bullying men and women, and the crime is hard to escape. I remembered that he was not a great evil, and he was severely punished with thirty rods to see the aftermath! If Wu Luo is vicious again in the future
, you can go to the county government to report, and the county government will severely punish it! ”
When the people heard this, they were all overjoyed, and they knelt down again and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty! ”
Liu Xiu said: "If there are such bullies in Wan County, you can also report to the county government, once the county government finds out, it will definitely be severely punished!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" And all the people who bowed down bowed their heads in unison.
Now Liu Xiu's most important thing is to subdue the hearts of the people in Nanyang, and Wan County, as the capital of Nanyang County, is the top priority.
Liu Xiu appeased the people present again, and was about to leave, when a young man walked quickly to Liu Xiu, knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said, "The grass people meet Your Majesty!" ”
Behind the young man, there were also two servants. One of the officials walked two steps quickly, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Zhao Xi!" ”
Oh, it turns out that this person is Zhao Xi. Liu Xiu looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, he looked about thirty years old, handsome and polite.
When he was in Kunyang, Liu Xiu should have seen Zhao Xi, but at that time, Zhao Xi was just a nobody, and Liu Xiu couldn't remember him.
But Zhao Xi can firmly remember Liu Xiu, the battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu with 3,000 death squads, he dared to attack 400,000 reckless troops, this battle, made Zhao Xi too impressed, unforgettable.
Liu Xiu looked down at Zhao Xi who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you Zhao Xi?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Someone reported you for having an affair with Deng Feng." Liu Xiu said slowly.
"The grass people did not have an affair with Deng Feng."
“……”
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he was silent, and Liu Xiu was also silent. After a long while, without waiting for Zhao Xi's next words, Liu Xiu couldn't help but ask, "You have nothing else to say?" That's how you explain me? ”
Zhao Xi said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying." No matter how much gossip there is, it will not dye black and black. Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs and holy lords, and naturally distinguishes between right and wrong, and the grass people think that too much explanation in front of Your Majesty is actually a great disrespect to Your Majesty. ”
The implication is that it is clear that there is nothing in it, and I still have to explain to Your Majesty, isn't this an insult to Your Majesty's IQ?
Liu Xiu didn't expect that Zhao Xi would give himself such an answer. He was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile on his back, nodded, and said, "Zhao Xi, I hope to see you in the camp." ”
He didn't have so much energy to personally check whether Zhao Xi had an affair with Deng Feng, if Zhao Xi could pass the Ziling level, it basically meant that there was nothing wrong with this person, and he could reuse him.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Xi to react, and walked away. Zhao Xi didn't ask, the figure kneeling on the ground turned in a different direction, and kowtowed to Liu Xiu's departing back: "The grass people send your majesty!" The two officials stepped forward, patted Zhao Xi's shoulder, and said happily: "Get up, Your Majesty has already gone away!" Zhao Xi, you really have the ability, just when you see Your Majesty, you can make Your Majesty laugh, and you will really soar in the future, but don't forget to mention our brothers! ”
