Chapter 451: He Zhan returns to Beijing
When Guixiang was all over Beijing, He Zhan finally succeeded, and on this day, the political cabinet of the Penglai Palace, not only Xu Xiuneng, the living house, was on standby, but the two boudoir daughters of Wei Xuan and Eleven Niang were also specially left by the Queen Mother, waiting for He Zhan to see him, and to know the details and facts of the Lingnan Tu case.
It turned out that the Empress Dowager was determined to send a Qincha to investigate the Lingnan incident, and there was a lot of hesitation between He Zhan and Lu Li, and finally thought that Liu Tan was the governor of Guangzhou and held the military and political power of a place, although Lu Li was quite wise, but his body was not so reassuring, in case Liu Tan dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and Lu Li was suitable for an injury, it would be difficult to control the situation, Pan Wei had already controlled the Northeast, and if Lingnan had another mistake, it would be worse for He Zhou's rule, so the Queen Mother finally chose He Zhan, and privately granted him the right to control the transfer of troops in Xianggui, of course, the talisman was not directly handed over to He Zhan, but in the hands of the commander of the forbidden army who accompanied him.
Of course, this was to prevent Liu Tan from conspiring against him, but He Zhan did not use the edict granted by the Empress Dowager Wei after hesitating for a long time, and resolved the Lingnan incident smoothly, and the Empress Dowager was of course overjoyed.
Since the result is very happy, of course, the process is detailed.
"Thanks to Wei Xiang's comprehensive plan, Mao Xiang wrote a letter first, saying that Weichen is greedy for money and lustful and easy to bribe, so as to dispel Liu Tan's defense, Weichen has not entered Lingnan, Liu Tan has already sent someone to persuade him to buy, and Weichen will of course plan it." He Zhan was not greedy for merit, and put the primary credit on Wei Yuanping, and even did not forget to emphasize Mao Wei's role in it.
Liu Tan because of the heavy bribery of Mao Wei, and got a letter in advance to warn him, of course he didn't think about it, even if a certain staff member repeatedly suggested that in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, causing Shao Guang to "commit suicide in fear of crime", Liu Tan also had some temptation, but another subordinate official raised an objection: "Since the Queen Mother has already suspected that the imperial historian has been sent to judge the case, if the suspect becomes dead and has no proof, the imperial history is not easy to deal with, not to mention that although the governor can let Shao Guang commit suicide in fear of crime, can he still let Qu Jiangling die unexpectedly?" Wouldn't this show that it was murderous, even if the Queen Mother was far away in Kyoto, she would not be deceived by this, Qu Jiangling was born in Jingzhao Xue, and I heard that Xue Xuanzhi was very trusted by the Queen Mother, and the Governor could not be so reckless. ”
Liu Tan once had a fold, commending Renhua Ling and Qujiang Ling for their meritorious work in quelling the chaos, and only put all the responsibility on Shao Guang, who was also afraid of Jing Zhaoxue, thinking that as long as there was no harm to Jing Zhaoxue's interests, he didn't expect that the imperial court would send an envoy to investigate the facts, although Shao Guang could kill something, Qu Jiangling was a hero rather than a criminal, and the reason for committing suicide in fear of crime could not be planted on his head, and if Qu Jiangling had an accident, Jing Zhaoxue could ignore it?
After all, he is a local official, of course Liu Tan is not a stupid person, since he knows that Qin Cha is a good person to buy, where will he kill people in one fell swoop.
Not only did they not take the advice of their staff, but they even became suspicious.
This staff member was recommended by the King of Ruyang, and he was convincing and alarmist at the beginning, otherwise he would not have folded the black pot on Shao Guang's head, but instead of calming down the situation, the Queen Mother was suspicious and sent Yu Shi Qin to verify it, if it wasn't for Mao's corresponding appropriateness, this time he had to be caught off guard, and the matter has come to this point, this staff member actually made a stupid move, obviously it is ill-intentioned!
Thinking about it again, the king of Ruyang was originally in opposition to the queen mother, and he was not sure who was more powerful, so he bribed at both ends, since this staff member was recommended by the king of Ruyang, of course, the position of the queen mother is different, but now the queen mother is the listener of the dynasty, if he really takes a boat with the king of Ruyang, it can be a big violation of the original intention of seeing the wind and rudder, and now Mao Xiang obviously exonerates himself, but the king of Ruyang has no intention, and the recommended staff is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and there is a clear intention of persecution, and the perfect plan is not to let this staff get out, Therefore, Liu Tan immediately made a decision, and instead of killing Shao Guang, he put his staff in custody.
Although this staff member is a confidant of the king of Ruyang, he is not a tenant of Pan Bo, and the tenant in the palace of Ruyang was attacked by the king of Jin first, so he did not have time to slander the king of Ruyang, and explained that the Lingnan staff did not need to persuade Liu Tan to take the lead in causing Shao Guang to commit suicide in fear of crime.
Liu Tan was confused by He Zhan, and thought that this incident would be successfully quelled under Mao Xiang's timely response, when He Zhan smiled at the money and beauties, and arrived in Guangzhou, Liu Tan only cared about playing with him, He Zhan also said: "Although the rebellion was dangerous under the rule of the Governor, fortunately, it was pacified in time and did not cause bad consequences, originally this matter was irrelevant, how do you know that the Governor impeached Shao Shaofu, didn't the Governor know that Shao Shaofu was a friend under him, and he was originally an official appointed by the Queen Mother?" ”
Regarding Shao Guang's basic situation, of course, Liu Tan can't know nothing, but because he has been away from the core of Kyoto for a long time, he knows nothing more than the clan branch, Jinshi and the first, although he was awarded by the queen mother, but later he was demoted, before He Zhan arrived, Liu Tan had not even heard of this great name of Qincha, and how did he know that Shao Guang still had a personal relationship with him, so he was dumbfounded.
But in the end, it was a person who had been immersed in officialdom for a long time, Liu Tan immediately turned his brain, if He Zhan really cared about Shao Guang, a friend, he would not have "mentioned it in passing" in such a happy and harmonious environment at this time.
Sure enough, I heard He Zhan say: "Although Shao Shaofu is friends with Zaixia, his temperament is also a big headache, so he said that the incident in the old years, if Shao Shaofu was not too reckless, it would not have been degraded to Lingnan, but the Queen Mother also knew that although Shao Shaofu was straightforward, it was not a traitor who was greedy for money and bent the law. Although he has the intention to cover up for the governor, he also has to take into account how to explain to the queen mother, he is really confused, obviously a trivial matter, no one needs to stand up and take responsibility, why did the governor target Shao Shaofu? is also a person trusted by the Queen Mother...... Du Du Mo has fallen into a trap. ”
Because Liu Tan believed in Mao Wei, he naturally did not doubt He Zhan, and He Zhan's words also hit his suspicions, so he slapped his thigh and confessed the truth, hoping that He Zhan could think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that he could make amends.
But don't say Shao Guang, he didn't even hand over the staff, Liu Tan to He Zhan, in order to continue to confuse Liu Tan, Fourteen Lang didn't mention that he wanted to see the two of them, and after saying that, he asked Liu Tan for a large sum of money, and racked his brains with Liu Tan every day, just to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
But at this moment, Qu Jiangling was "killed", and Renhua Ling was also inexplicably "missing"!
"It's over, it must be the plan of the king of Ruyang, who wants to trap the governor to death!" He Zhan was panicked.
Although Liu Tan is a member of the party and is in charge of the military and government, there has been no large-scale riot in Lingnan in the past ten years, and this governor of Guangzhou is actually just a worm, and he has no experience in leading troops to fight, and he is not as brave as Pan Bo, which has long been mastered by He Zhan, and he is very confident that Liu Tan will be taken down without fighting.
Sure enough, because of the sudden change, Liu Tan was shocked, and at the suggestion of He Zhan, he urgently ordered his henchmen to catch the traitor, so not only was he subdued by He Zhan as a hostage, but most of his henchmen were also wiped out by the Praetorian Guards led by He Zhan, there was no commander, and the Lingnan border army was like a plate of scattered sand, He Zhan only then showed his secret decree, announcing that Liu Tan and other people involved in the case were escorted to Kyoto for trial, and the rest were not pursued after the Queen Mother's amnesty, and the "killed" Qu Jiang Ling also appeared at this time, in fact, he was the acting governor of Guangzhou ordered by the Queen Mother, of course, the Renhua Order was not missing, Confess the crime in front of the guards.
Liu Tan never had the idea of rebellion, and he didn't realize that he was suddenly forced into a desperate situation, and he usually didn't spend his mind on ordinary soldiers, and he only wanted to make money, so when his main henchmen were wiped out, there was no one to coordinate the organization, and naturally there would be no rebellion.
"This is all due to the Queen Mother and Wei Xiang's formulation, so that Weichen can successfully complete his mission." He Zhan was very humble.
But of course, the Queen Mother understands who is the biggest hero.
It's only very strange: "Why did Liu Tan frame Shao Guang?" ”
Of course, He Zhan did not mention that Liu Tan had bribed Mao Wei, and suddenly introduced the natural environment of Lingnan: "Most people in the world think that Lingnan is a wild land, full of poison, but in fact, because the climate of Lingnan Prefectures is warm, it is very beneficial to the growth of crops, and there are extensive forests and rich minerals......
After a long speech, the Queen Mother didn't pay much attention, but Eleven Niang was very puzzled when she heard it.
Could it be that Lingnan is expected to develop into wealth?
