Chapter 435 Buying people's hearts
One glory and one loss, but not just talking, you can experience it at this time.
Seeing that Zhang Chao did not answer Yuan Shao's words, many people couldn't help but be secretly afraid. But only Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were standing at the front, had very calm faces. The general had already promised them that Yuan Shao would not die, and he would even be crowned king, and his son would be able to inherit the throne of Lao Tzu.
It's just that the two of them know that it's the same thing, but when they saw Yuan Shao's current appearance at the moment, they couldn't help but make a comparison with Zhang Chao in their hearts, and under this comparison, the two of them realized Yuan Benchu's incompetence more deeply.
Although I don't know what Zhang Chao's defeat will be like if one day, at least he won't be as cowardly as Yuan Shao in front of him. Don't he know the truth that cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again?
The hall was also quiet for a long time because of Yuan Shao's words.
This period of silence is a kind of torment for many people, and they know that once Zhang Chao speaks next, it will be time to decide their fate, and what kind of fate will happen at that time will be clear.
At this moment, everyone's attention couldn't help but be on Zhang Chao, obviously waiting for the most powerful person in the field to make the final decision.
Under the silence of time, layers of cold sweat had already broken out under Yuan Shao's forehead, and he was obviously intimidated by the atmosphere in front of him.
The fear and nervousness on Yuan Shao's face were completely captured by Zhang Chao, he knew that no matter now or in the future, this person did not have the ability to become his enemy, and when a person's heart collapsed, he would not be able to muster the courage to be his enemy.
"Passing the order."
In the hall that was originally very quiet, and even dropped a needle on the ground, I am afraid that it was clearly audible, Zhang Chao's voice came out suddenly, which also caused everyone's expressions to perk, they knew that the time to decide the fate of the second half of their lives had come.
"Passing on the order, Yuan Shao is the Marquis of Ji, moved to live in Jinyang City, and his descendants can continue to be the Hou; Yuan Shu was the Marquis of An, moved to live in Jinyang City, and was never allowed to leave. At the same time, the former Jizhou Wenchen military generals returned to Jinyang to wait for the reassignment of their positions according to their personal ability. ”
Zhang Chao's voice came out very clearly, and after hearing it in everyone's ears, he was startled at first, and then the sound of cold air growing out sounded one after another. Apparently this decision has made a lot of people breathe a sigh of relief, at least they know that they don't have to die. Although it is said that after all the dust settles, you will need to go to Jinyang City to see the last one, but at least the current level is over.
Zhang Chao named Yuan Shao as the Marquis of Ji, not the King of Ji, to say that this is also what he greeted Yan Liang and Wen Chou before.
When Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty, he said that the opposite sex was not allowed to be crowned king. The current Zhang Chao is naturally not good at making Yuan Shao the king, which is easy to criticize, and he naturally will not make such a mistake.
Hearing Zhang Chao's words, Yuan Shao, who was still standing, fell to the ground with a plop. Obviously, the pressure just now was too great, and he was just barely holding on. Now that everything has come to an end, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell.
When Yuan Shao fell, two iron guards had already stepped forward to help him up, but Zhang Chaozai didn't look at this person much. Perhaps this is also the last time the two will meet, as Jizhou falls into the hands of Zhang He, the Yuan family, which was once famous in the land of China, is completely depressed, and will gradually fade out of people's field of vision in the future.
Instead of looking at Yuan Shao, Zhang Chao turned his head, and then looked at the people behind him: "Where is Chen Lin?" ”
"Ahh
Is it finally your turn? Chen Lin was frightened, and his whole body couldn't help but soften, but there were also iron guards on the side who stepped forward to support him, so that he couldn't do it.
His eyes moved to Chen Lin's body, Zhang Chao's expression was still extremely calm, but his calm eyes looked at the other party, and he did have a sense of chilling.
thought that Yuan Shao had been made a marquis, so those of them who were subordinates should have nothing to do. But now it seems that people still haven't let go of their intentions after all. Thinking about it, from beginning to end, he was a person who strongly opposed surrender, although the final result obviously did not play a role, but this did not prevent others from settling accounts with him.
"Passing on the order, Chen Lin is ordered to be the gentleman of Zhangjiashu Academy, and he will be given 600 stones a year." Looking at Chen Lin, Zhang Chao did not have any murderous aura in his eyes, but said such words very plainly.
The annual reward of 600 stone was the treatment of the county at that time, and even only some large counties could do so, and if the county magistrate of a small county was only 500 stone or even 400 stone.
No one thought that Chen Lin was finished, and even some civil officials who originally belonged to Jizhou still showed a hint of schadenfreude on their faces, but when they heard that it was such a result, it was completely shocking.
For Chen Lin, Zhang Chao naturally had some hatred in his heart. After all, not everyone who has scolded him can accept it humbly and make friends with him.
It's just that Zhang Chao knows better that those who do big things need to be informal, and they need to have an open heart, if not, they can't accommodate hundreds of rivers like the sea. It is precisely because he understands this truth that he has overcome all the obstacles and has what he is doing now.
In the final analysis, Chen Lin is just a scribe with good literary talents. It was my duty to write an essay to scold myself at the beginning, and this was not a personal grudge that could be resolved.
With no real hatred in his heart, Zhang Chao decided to make good use of this person. Although Jizhou is now attacked by him, there are still too many things to do by himself, and the only thing to do is to collect people's hearts.
After all, no one knows how Zhang Chao will deal with them, if people are panicked, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. For this avoidable thing, Zhang Chao will naturally adopt methods, and sealing Chen Lin as a six-grade official is the best proof.
Liu Bang sealed his teeth.
This is the means that Zhang Chao wants to borrow.
It is said that after Liu Bang became the emperor, he has been reluctant to reward the meritorious heroes. The generals and important ministers under him were scared one by one.
What are they afraid of? They are afraid that Liu Bang will kill their heads. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. So the men got together and discussed what to do.
When they discussed together, they happened to be seen by Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, who was Liu Bang's military advisor. Liu Bang was very strange and asked Zhang Liang what these people were talking about. Zhang Liang said mysteriously that they were discussing the rebellion. ”
Liu Bang was startled and hurriedly asked Zhang Liang what to do.
"Zhang Liang is an extremely smart person, and he immediately gave him an idea, asking him to reward meritorious heroes, especially Yongya."
"Who is Yongya?"
"Yongya is Liu Bang's subordinate, and he has offended Liu Bang before. Liu Bang was not happy when he heard it, and said Yongya, this guy, I was about to cut off his head, and I rewarded him, I want to be beautiful! Zhang Liang warned Liu Bang that if he killed Yongya, those people outside would really rebel. ”
Liu Bang is also an extremely smart person, he understood what Zhang Liang meant, and immediately sealed Yongya as the Marquis of Shifang. When the other heroes saw that even Yongya had been rewarded, there was nothing to worry about. So they all settled down and stopped thinking about rebellion. Liu Bang's throne is also secure. ”
Zhang Chao learned from this practice and made Chen Lin, who everyone thought he was most likely to retaliate against, an official first. When everyone saw that this person was used by Zhang Chao, the kind of anxiety in their hearts naturally did not exist, which was nothing more than the best and fastest way to quickly stabilize Jizhou.
After Zhang Chao said this to Chen Lin, sure enough, the original atmosphere was very tense in the hall, and the sound of exhaling long breath came from the hall, obviously everyone had seen the significance of Zhang Chao's move through this matter.
The answer is that the general is a smart man, he will not kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone indiscriminately reduce crimes, which will play a very positive role in stabilizing the hearts of everyone.
Whether it is Zhang Chao's attitude towards Yuan Shao or Chen Lin's decision, it shows that he will not kill these people in Jizhou, so it is enough.
After Zhang Chao announced two decisions in a row, he looked at Xu Chu, the head of the guard, on the side.
Xu Chu nodded heavily, then turned to the iron guards and brocade guards in the main hall and said, "Take everyone down." ”
Soon, the people in the hall who originally belonged to the Jizhou Gang were taken down, and even Yuan Shao was also "charged" by the iron guard.
As soon as this was done, one of the guards ran in from outside the door, and then came to the side of the other guard, Dian Wei, and whispered something.
"Lord, Mr. Cui is here." Dian Wei waved his hand to rebuke the iron guard, took a small step forward, hugged his fists, and said to Zhang Chao very respectfully.
"Oh, come out with me to meet you." At this moment, Zhang Chao's face had a hint of joy, obviously he was very happy about the arrival of this Mr. Cui.
Mr. Cui, whose name is Cui Yan and whose name is Ji Qi, is a native of Dongwu City, Qinghe (now Qinghe County, Hebei Province).
A famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the younger brother of Sikong Cui Lin. Cui Yan is handsome, upright, and prestigious, even in the entire land of Jizhou, he is also famous.
It is precisely because of this person's great reputation that the last time Zhang Chao wanted to deal with Yuan Shao, he was invited out and personally visited to stop a fight.
Even this time, when Zhang's super army was pressing, Yuan Shao felt powerless and sent someone to find Cui Yan, but unfortunately the other party refused to come to Julu on the grounds of illness. This is also helpless, the last time he saw Zhang Chao, he said that Yuan Shao would not take the initiative to provoke the other party.
