Chapter 128: The Riverman's Right Man

I haven't seen it for a few months, this Chang'an City is still prosperous, but it has changed owners. Most of the displaced people in Chang'an City have also decreased, and I think most of them have been resettled and migrated out of the city by the imperial court in the past few months.

Along the way, Lin Yi had already found out that the two most trusted subordinates of Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, were Li Han and Zhang Fang. Lin Yi also heard about these two people.

Li Han, whose name is Shirong, was born in Hanmen. His hometown is a native of Didao, Longxi (now Lintao County, Gansu Province), and he lives in Shiping (now Xianyang, Shaanxi). This person was very young and talented, and he was promoted as filial piety at the same time in both his hometown Di Dao and his residence in Shiping. However, because he offended the settled people Huangfu Zhong and Huangfu Shang's brothers, he hinted that Li Han was recruited by the state as the head of the gate pavilion (the city gate was set up as the gate pavilion), and wanted to humiliate Li Han.

A loss may turn out to be a gain. God closes one door, but opens another. At this time, Yongzhou Assassin Guo Yi (this person was born in the famous Guo clan of Taiyuan Yangqu, the son of Guo Zhen, the brother of Guo Huai, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and the cousin of Guo Huai, the mother of Jia Nanfeng, Guangcheng Jun Guo Huai) had heard of Li Han very early on, and once he went out to see Li Han who was on duty, Guo Yi immediately got out of the car and promoted Li Han to be his deputy. Soon, Li Han was recommended and appointed as the Lang Zhongling of the Qin State of Qin, and was elected by Situ as the Zhongzheng of Shiping County. Zhengzhong's official position began at the end of the Qin Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty (220), before Cao Pi became independent of the Han Dynasty, Shangshu Chen Qun established the law of nine officials, and placed Zhongzheng in each state and county, and was responsible for identifying talents. During the time of Wei Caofang, Sima Yi was in power, and he placed the big and middle in the state, so there was a difference between the large, medium and small middle right. The great zhongzheng of the state, also known as the state capital, Wu has the great fairness, that is, the great zhongzheng of Wei. The Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties all had Zhongzheng, and the Sui still had state capitals. After the Tang Dynasty, Zhongzheng has stepped out of the historical stage as an official position.

After the death of Sima Khan, the king of Qin, Li Han's god of luck gradually disappeared. After the death of Sima Khan. As Sima Cambodia's subordinate, he should mourn for Sima Cambodia, but, generally speaking, after the boss is buried, he can be removed, and the same is true for Li Han. However, because Shangshu Zhao Jun (the uncle of the concubine Zhao Can) held a grudge against Li Han, he wrote to the emperor that Li Han should not be dismissed, and Fu You, the state's Dazhongzheng, also added fuel to the fire. To belittle Li Han. Fu Yi's brother Fu Xian shouted injustice for Li Han, but Zhao Jun had a close relationship with the harem, and in the end, Li Han was still demoted, and after more than a year, he was appointed as the governor of Shoucheng Mansion.

Situ Wang Rong said in the book that Li Han used to be a minister, even if he was demoted. It is also impossible to let people be officials, not officials, after this, Li Han was appointed as the county commander of Shiping. Later, he was promoted to Tobu Yangling. Sima Yan, the king of Hejian, asked Li Han to be his own Sima of Zhengxi, and he was soon promoted to the long history of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, and he was very trusted, and since then. Li Han became Sima Yan's right-hand man.

Zhang Fang, like Li Han, is also from a poor family. Zhang Fang is a native of Hejian and a citizen of Sima Hao's feudal state. He came from a humble background. The status is very low. When he arrived in Chang'an, he was fortunate to be generously supported by the local wealthy Zhifu, and later he was appreciated by Sima Hao for his talent and courage, and was promoted to the rank of general Zhenwu many times.

But in later generations, the fame of this Zhang Fang is far greater than that of Li Han. Zhang Fang was one of the most famous generals in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Zhang Fang's army was even more bandit robber than bandits, and eating human flesh was clearly recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian, and they robbed everything that could be robbed. Even after Sima Zhen returned to Luoyang, he dug the grave of Sima Zhen and Jia Nanfeng's youngest daughter Sima Nuyan outside the city. Even the tomb of the mourning princess has been dug up, what else can't be robbed?

The palace of the Jin Dynasty suffered an unprecedented catastrophe: the royal utensils and treasures in the palace were divided up by the soldiers; the hungry soldiers saw the equally hungry palace maids and directly held a wedding; since the Wei and Jin dynasties, countless treasures preserved in the palace were lost. After the robbery, Zhang Fang also wanted to cover up the crime and tried to set a fire to burn down the Luoyang Palace, but fortunately, someone admonished him with the notorious example of Dong Zhuo burning Luoyang 114 years ago, so he did not set fire to Luoyang.

But this Zhang Fang was always loyal to Sima Hao at all times, and was finally stabbed to death by him because Sima Hao fell for the counter-plot. This person is Na Zhifu, the noble man when Zhang Fang was poor and destitute, and finally died at his hands, which is really fate.

Of course, this is all what happened in the middle and late stages of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and now because of Lin Yi's appearance, the trajectory of this history has changed, and Lin Yi firmly believes that such a story will not happen again. This Zhang Fang's nature is not bad, most of what he does is forced by the situation, perhaps because he was born poor, and he was born with hatred for the high-grade wealthy family. If he can completely control this person, and cultivate him well after his personality has not completely changed, this Zhang Fang can really be regarded as a fierce general who attacks the city and plunders the land, and is not under that Meng Guan.

Lin Yi is familiar with the road, although the general's mansion is still heavily guarded, but this will not have any impact on Lin Yi in any way. As soon as he entered the mansion, a crisp and pleasant sound had come, and following the music, Lin Yi came to a large hall, which was originally full, and Sima Hao, the king of the river, was holding a big banquet. A group of dancing girls danced with the music in the hall, and a group of civil servants and military generals around them ate meat and drank wine, and from time to time there was a burst of cheers and wine fights, which was really lively.

Now the war between the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Di people in Guanzhong has been settled, and most of the civil and military generals are singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death, as for the thousands of homeless and starving victims, it naturally has little to do with them.

Lin Yi saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the hall, with a square head and big ears, and a white python robe, who was the master of this pass, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian. Although Lin Yi saw this person for the first time, Sima Shu had seen him several times in his memory.

Sima Hao has been an official in Luoyang, Kyoto all the year round, and he has visited the crown prince Sima Shu many times. A middle-aged Confucian student on the left beside him, with a long shirt and a long shirt, should be the chief official of the General Mansion of the Western Expedition. A middle-aged man on the right, dressed in a military uniform, sat in front of the table like a hill, his dark skin looked more robust, although his eyes never left the whirling dancing girl, his mouth was not idle for a moment, his left hand was torn meat, and his right hand was holding wine, but the little guy in the costume next to him was really busy. This person should be the Zhenwu general Zhang Fang, there is no doubt.

Lin Yi naturally didn't come to see this Sima Hao and his subordinates drinking and having fun, in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared in place, and the next moment he had already appeared in the study. Although this Sima Hao is the new general of the expedition to the west, the general's mansion has changed a lot, and the layout is completely different from when he was back then. But Lin Yi still found the study easily.

"Although this Sima Hao is jointly recommended by all parties in the court to succeed to the position of the general of the expedition to the west, but since this Empress Jia has no objection, it is difficult to say whether the two of them have a secret deal in private, even if this Sima Hao has not completely defected to the party of Jia Nanfeng for the time being, but I am afraid that someone in his house has already taken refuge in Jia Nanfeng!" Lin Yi said secretly in his heart. Lin Yi has searched through the study in this mansion, and has searched countless private places, and has not found the official documents and letters exchanged between Sima Hao and Jia Hou's party, it seems that this Sima Hao does not know that Lu Dao is indeed so innocent, or is very cautious, and has not left any clues at all. However, Lin Yi had already paid attention to it in his heart, this place in the middle of the pass can be attacked and defended, it is the land of Longxing in Huaxia, and it is fertile for thousands of miles, no matter what, he must control this Sima Hao and use it for his use.

"I can't imagine that this Wang Dun is still in this Chang'an City, and he is willing to deign to be the goalkeeper of Sima Haodu's Mansion, he is really wronged!" Lin Yi sighed in his heart. He knew that Wang Dun was so dependent on Chang'an that he would rather be demoted, he must have been for the countless treasures that the East Palace had accumulated over the past year. Although most of the industries that renounced profit and righteousness were sold cheaply on the surface, most of them were secretly transferred to Chang'an and other cities, and this Wang Dun, as the founder, naturally did not dare to leave easily.

"Liu Bian and the others have returned to Luoyang, and it is really hard for them, although they are struggling hard, the elite and newly trained tens of thousands of homeless people in the East Palace have been handed over to the new crown prince Sima Weizu, which has long been a matter that Jiahou and his party have been planning for a long time. This Sima Weizu is also a seven or eight-year-old child, and this East Palace guard has naturally become the personal guard of Najiahou's henchmen, which is really like a tiger with wings. Fortunately, Liu Bian and other old ministers of the East Palace have saved their lives, and the henchmen of the Hou Jia party have been eliminated and they have got what they wanted, so naturally they won't care about these little characters!"

"Hui Feng and Jiang Jun have already given birth, and they have two more princes, what a happy thing this should be, but unfortunately I didn't expect this result to be like this, the child was born and couldn't see his father! What's even more tragic is that they have now been kicked out of the East Palace by Jia Hou and his party!"

"It's just that those soldiers who went out with themselves on the Liang, in addition to more than half of them returning triumphantly, there are thousands of people who seem to have disappeared in the past few months, and they have never returned to Chang'an, and Sima Hao sent countless scouts without finding out much news. Could it be that they have been staying in Naliang Mountain all along?"

......

An hour later, Lin Yi had already flipped through all the official documents in this study, including those sent to various counties and the imperial court, whether they were locked or not. The people on the street had ten people and ten mouths, and each said different things, and if you inquire about any news from their mouths, it is naturally not as straightforward and swift as the official documents come and go from this official mansion.

In the past half a year, Lin Yi has already understood the big and small things that have happened in the imperial court. Although the imperial court has already held a state funeral for him, the official recognition of his death, and the position of the crown prince has changed hands, but Lin Yi will double down on all this!
