Taihao was elected as the general of the city defense, of course, thanks to Wu Wenchen for not following Yao Fuji's orders and conducting a black-box operation during the election. And the biggest hero who can make Wu Wenchen return to Taihao's camp is the first military captain Fu Ganhe, Fu Ganhe only did three things to Wu Wenchen, Wu Wenchen changed from Yao Fuji's cronies, obeying Yao Fuji's words, to daring to disobey Yao Fuji's orders in front of the people of the city.

What are the three specific things? The first thing to do was that Fuganhe used his connections in the city to gather a large amount of evidence about the corruption and brutality of Yafuki, and then presented it to Wu Wenchen. Through these evidences, Wu Wenchen is convinced that Yao Fuji is not really an official for the city and the people, but only for his own selfish interests.

The second thing is that under the persuasion of Fu Ganhe, Taihao promised Wu Wenchen that after being elected as the general of the city, he would vigorously recommend Wu Wenchen to become the deputy general of the city. Although Wu Wenchen has always been Xiao Fuji's cronies, but Yao Fuji is very suspicious of his subordinates, he never really believes the words of his officials, Wu Wenchen has been in the position of the division of soldiers in the army for many years, and has not been promoted for many years, this Tai Hao promised to recommend it is a huge opportunity for Wu Wenchen, so that he can do more and serve the city and the people more.

The third thing is that Fu Ganhe knew that Wu Wenchen's son had an accident recently and was imprisoned in Pinghe City Prison. However, because of Xiao Fuji's relationship, Wu Wenchen could not be dealt with in any way, and Lan Kai was unwilling to release him. After learning about the situation, Fu Ganhe personally found Wu Wenchen and helped him find Lan Kai, dealt with the problem, and let his son be acquitted. This action not only made Wu Wenchen grateful, but also made him deeply aware of Fuganhe's care and help for him and his family.

These three things made Wu Wenchen feel the sincerity and efforts of Fu Ganhe, made him recognize the true face of Yao Fuji, and also made him decide to stand on Taihao's side and become the right-hand man of the city defender. From then on, Wu Wenchen began to take the initiative to disobey Xiao Fuji's orders, support Taihao's decision-making, and step by step became a hero that the people in the city looked up to.

After Tai Hao was elected as the general of the city guard, he came to the city lord's mansion that night to see Yao Fuji, but Yao Fuji did not show the displeasure in his heart. Taihao knew very well in his heart that he congratulated his election on the surface, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

Because Yao Fuji knew that Taihao had become a hero in the hearts of the people in the city, this situation caused him a lot of headaches. He couldn't tell for sure whether Tai Hao would enter his camp, and whether he would pose a threat to his own army if he was the general who defended the city. So even if Yao Fuji was dissatisfied in his heart, he knew that it was not appropriate to show it at this time, because there was less than half a month before the day of the uprising. At this time, the most important thing is to completely draw Taihao into his own camp and fight against the imperial court together, rather than internal strife. Therefore, Yao Fuji pretended not to care, and told Taihao that he would fully support his work, hoping that he would be able to successfully complete the mission and protect the safety of the city and the people.

Hearing Yao Fuji's words, Tai Hao didn't interpret his attitude too much, he knew in his heart that Yao Fuji was acting for his own selfish interests, but at this time he had no time to take care of these. The first thing to do is to promise to recommend him as the deputy general of the city defense. At that moment, he said to Yao Fuji: "Thank you for the support of the city lord of Yao Fuji, the lower officials will go all out and do their best to complete the duties of the general who guards the city." At the same time, at this critical moment, Xia Guan also wants to make a request to you, hoping that you can approve the appointment of Lord Wu Wenchen to the post of deputy general of the city, he has been in the position of commander in the army for many years, has not been given the opportunity to be promoted, and he has shown extraordinary courage and wisdom in recent events, Xia Guan believes that he is capable of the position of deputy general. ”

Yao Fuji listened to Taihao's words, pondered for a moment, and then nodded and agreed to his request. After all, Wu Wenchen has always been his cronies, and he also knows one thing at the moment, that is, the reason why Wu Wenchen did not read out the election results according to his orders is actually that he has already reached some kind of consensus with Taihao. Taihao felt a burst of joy in his heart when he heard Yao Fuji's answer, he knew that this was not only an opportunity for nothing, but also an important opportunity for him to fight for prestige and status in the city. He thanked Yao Fuji for his support and said that he would arrange the work as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Pinghe City.

Yao Fuji asked Tai Hao: "Lord Tai Hao is already the general of Pinghe City, is the official residence going to move to the current general's mansion?" ”

Tai Hao said: "The official residence will not be moved, and the lower officials will continue to live in their own place, which is more convenient." ”

Yao Fuji nodded and said: "That's fine, the current deputy general's mansion is the official residence of the previous city lord, which is much larger than the current general's mansion, and tomorrow let the two craftsmen change the three words 'deputy general's mansion' on the plaque on the door to 'general's mansion'." This officer has one more thing, I want to ask General Taihao. ”

Tai Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The city lord can call the name of the lower official, no need to add the word 'general', I don't know what the city lord has to ask the lower official?" ”

Yao Fuji said: "This official knows that you are a loyal and good general trusted by the imperial court, but now that the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, your duty is not only to defend Pinghe City, but more importantly, to ensure the safety and well-being of the people." Now, I still want you to become a powerful general who can change the status quo of the country and form an insurrectionary army to force the court to make changes and ease the situation. ”

Yao Fuji's words made Tai Hao stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Yao Fuji would once again speak directly to him about the uprising in person at this time. This is by no means easy for an official who is loyal to the imperial court. However, Taihao can't directly refuse Yao Fuji's proposal, and he can only act according to Yao Fuji's wishes now, so as not to make Yao Fuji have more doubts about himself.

So, Tai Hao pondered for a moment and then spoke: "What the city lord of Yao Fuji said is very true, and the lower officials also deeply feel the internal and external troubles of the country. Nowadays, the national crisis is in full swing, and the people are struggling to make a living, and we, as people with lofty ideals, should do our best to work for the welfare of the people. Although these decisions involve personal beliefs, I think they are the right ones if they can solve the root causes and create a better life for the people. ”

Yao Fuji's eyes lit up, he was excited, and said, "So, General Taihao is really willing to revolt with us?" ”

Tai Hao did not hesitate, and arched his hand: "Of course the lower officials are willing!" ”

Taihao's answer made Yao Fuji very satisfied, and he couldn't hide a smile on his face. He took a deep breath, and then said, "Very good, General Taihao is really an official who can shoulder responsibility, and this official is very pleased." This is a crucial decision that requires us to consult together and make the right decision. You will be needed to play a leading role in our operations in the future, especially in organizing and commanding the rebels. ”

Tai Hao nodded, indicating that he was ready to cooperate with Yao Fuji's plan.

Yao Fuji looked at Taihao and smiled, "Okay, then let's start discussing it now." That night, Taihao listened to Yao Fuji talk about his plan for the uprising, and he knew that Yao Fuji must have reservations, and did not tell him all about the plan. In fact, what Tai Hao didn't know was that the suspicious Yao Fuji told Tai Hao about his plan for the uprising this night was all made up by Yao Fuji, and the purpose of Yao Fuji was to test Tai Hao to see if Tai Hao would inform the court of this plan in other ways. In fact, Taihao didn't believe half a word of Yao Fuji, because he knew that Yao Fuji was very untrustworthy. But since he had already pretended to follow Yu Fuji, Taihao thought it better to show his enthusiasm and put forward his own opinions in the discussion.

In the process of discussing with Tai Hao, Tai Hao expressed his views in turn and put forward some suggestions. He did not fully agree with the plan for the uprising, and raised questions and suggestions based on his own experience and insights. After hearing Taihao's feedback, Yao Fuji carefully weighed the pros and cons, revised some details of the original plan, and adopted Taihao's optimization plan.

Their deliberations were tense and energetic, and they did not end until very late. Throughout the process, Taihao always paid attention to mastering the balance, maintained his position and attitude, and at the same time made Yao Fuji understand that he was not an official who was easily swayed. Aware of Tai Hao's abilities and leadership talents, he wants to propel Tai Hao to a higher position and become a core member of his own power.

Before leaving, Yao Fuji handed over the list of officials of the Pinghe City camp to Tai Hao, Tai Hao looked at the list carefully and asked Yao Fuji: "What does the city lord mean by handing over this list to the lower officials?" ”

Yao Fuji said: "General Taihao is the general of Pinghe City, according to the law, the general of the city will appoint a new list of generals and officials, you have to draft a list of new officials, and tomorrow the list will be handed over to this official for a look, and the day after tomorrow it can be announced to the whole army in the city." Here's a list of current officials that you can adjust, and it clearly states the life, age, and all the positions held by each officer. Taihao was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the general guarding the city would have such rights, so he hurriedly agreed to take the order.

Early the next morning, Taihao called Shaoling to the study and asked Shaoling to draw up a list of officials to appoint the barracks. Tai Hao's expression was serious, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. Taihao said: "I said, you write." Don't make a mistake in your name. He took out the list that Yao Fuji had given him last night and handed it to Shaoling. Shao Ling looked at the list carefully and asked, "According to this list, do you want to change the position above?" ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "There are some things to change, I'll tell you, you can write them." The deputy general of the city guard, no questions. First Military Captain Fu Ganhe ...... Speaking of this, Tai Hao paused and continued: "I only said the list of officials that need to be changed, and if you don't change it for the time being, you can just copy the old list." Shao Ling nodded, and Tai Hao continued: "The second military captain remains unchanged, and the lieutenant is changed to Qingyun; The lieutenant of the three military schools remained unchanged, and the lieutenant was changed to Mingji; The lieutenant of the four military schools remained unchanged, and the lieutenant was changed to Jian Chen; The captain of the five military schools was changed to Zhichenggang, and the lieutenant was changed to ...... "There can only be one military captain on the first road in Pinghecheng, and there can be more than one lieutenant, and the officials sent by the imperial court have not moved for the time being, and those with low positions have been directly promoted to lieutenants, because if they are directly promoted to lieutenants, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of the officials in the camp of Yao Fuji." But if these five military captains let Zhichenggang do it, then the existing captains will have to find another position, which makes Taihao hesitate.

At this time, Fu Ganhe came to the General's Mansion, and Taihao hurriedly received him. Tai Hao informed Fu Ganhe about the list, and after hearing this, Fu Ganhe hurriedly persuaded Tai Hao and said to him: "It is very inappropriate for General Tai Hao to arrange official positions like this......
