Chapter 128 Visitors from Yanzhou (Additional update for book friends from wealthy villas)
Liu Biao has been restless these past two days.
Originally, I had always thought that Fei Qian was just a chess piece under his control and could be manipulated as he wished. However, when Fei Qian got married two days ago, Liu Biao discovered that he had underestimated the power of this chess piece.
Originally, he planned to send Fei Qian to Nanyang, but now that Fei Qian and Huang had become friends, he actually found that it was difficult for Jing Lian to touch Fei Qian.
Nanyang Yuan Shu himself had the desire to control the north and look south. He had always been eyeing Xiangyang. Some time ago, he used Sun Jian to kill the soldiers he sent to Nanyang to support Zhang Zi. His ambition was clear.
If the previous Fei Qian was just a disciple supported by Pang Degong and the Huang family, and his status was not that high, Yuan Shu would not necessarily pay attention to Fei Qian, so borrowing Yuan Shu's sword would not be a big problem, but
Now Fei Qian has suddenly become Huang's son-in-law. In addition, in this marriage, it is said that even the betrothal gift was prepared by Pang. In this way, Fei Qian has simply become the target of Jingxiang Pang and Huang.
Characters, who dares to act rashly?
Now if Fei Qian is really sent to Nanyang, if Fei Qian has a slightly different intention, with the support of the Pang family and the Huang family, he can negotiate terms with Yuan Shu. With both internal and external approaches, it won't be a big deal to turn Xiangyang upside down.
question.
After all, he has only been in charge of Jingxiang for a short period of time, which is compared to the deep roots of the Pang family and the Huang family...
Now that I think about it, I really regret that I impulsively gave Fei Qian the position. If I hadn't made such a big move and made it known to everyone, I could have given it to a scribe, or to a higher level.
If you were granted a job, you wouldn't be in the embarrassing situation where you are now being praised but not praised, and beaten and beaten.
what to do?
It's really not a good thing to keep losing your position like this. If Ren Feiqian continues to develop like this, how long he can stay as governor is a big question!
There are only two ways now: one is to caress, and the other is naturally - kill!
But it is easy to say it, but it is difficult to actually do it. For a while, Liu Biao couldn't find any good starting point.
How to caress, it must be controllable, and it must satisfy Fei Qian, and even the Pang and Huang families represented by Fei Qian...
And killing requires more attention. If you give the order directly, you may not have to wait until the soldiers reach Fei Qian's side. It is estimated that the city of Xiangyang will rebel. Do you really think that the Pang family has been rooted in Jingxiang for hundreds of years and is just playing around?
I have gone to ask Pang Degong to serve as an official two or three times. Why don't I just put on airs every time? Isn't there nothing I can do about it? Not to mention the Pang family, even the Ma family and the Xi family are trying to excuse themselves because of their illness. Isn't there nothing I can do about it?
If he doesn't seize the irrefutable reason and kills people from these aristocratic families at will, he will probably be the governor of the country for the rest of his life...
I really have a headache.
At this time, his subordinates came to report that Liu Gongshan, the governor of Yanzhou, had sent someone to visit him.
Liu Dai Liu Gongshan?
Although he and Liu Dai are both surnamed Liu, they do not belong to the same branch. Although they have some contact with each other on weekdays, they are not very close. What does Liu Dai and Liu Gongshan do?
Let's talk about it after we meet.
Liu Biao asked his men to take him to the main hall, and went to change his clothes before seeing him again. After all, he was representing the governor of a state, so etiquette was indispensable.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, sent two people this time, one civil and one military. The civil officer's name was Xu Yue and his courtesy name was Gonghe. As for the military officer, Liu Biao recognized him at first glance. They turned out to be his disciples, Liu Pan and Liu Zhongjian.
Xu Yue and Xugonghe dutifully presented the official document given by Liu Dai, the governor, and said: "I am bringing you one hundred armors and one thousand gold to congratulate Liu Gong on his new appointment!"
Just here to send congratulatory gifts? Where can such good things come from?
In a blink of an eye, Liu Biao saw his disciple Liu Pan giving him a look, and he immediately understood that this civil servant Xu Yue was only an envoy on the surface. In fact, the real meaning that Liu Dai wanted to convey might only be known to his disciple Liu Pan.
Therefore, Liu Biao accepted the offer gladly and asked his men to take the two of them to the post house to rest while he waited in the hall...
Sure enough, Liu Pan came back not long after. After paying homage, he tore a piece of cloth armor on his body in front of Liu Biao, took out a letter from the middle, and handed it to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao saw that the letter was so secretly hidden, so he took it carefully and carefully inspected the lacquer seal. Seeing that it was indeed intact, he opened it and read it.
The more Liu Biao watched, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but sweat broke out on the back of his head. This was the rhythm of something big happening. No wonder Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai specially arranged two envoys, one true and one false, to deliver the news.
The envoy Xu Yue was just a cover. It didn't matter what gifts or official documents he brought. The key was the letter brought by the deputy envoy Liu Pan!
Although this important letter did not mention anyone by name, Liu Biao still guessed what Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, wanted to express——
I saw it written in the letter:
"...Thieves try to claim to be loyal and good ministers, but in fact, it is a big mistake..."
"... During the Yellow Turban period, he was defeated in Hebei and bribed eunuchs to avoid his crimes. Later, he was favored by the late emperor and was granted a favor. However, he did not want to repay the favor, which implied disobedience. He was gluttonous and unruly, hurting and abusing the people.
It is despised by a gentleman...
"...Nowadays, there are a lot of criminals, the emperor is weak, the wolves are ambitious, secretly plotting misfortunes, humiliating the royal family, corrupting the law and discipline, sitting in three positions, autocratic government, rewards are in the heart, punishment is in the mouth, the one you love is the light
Five sects, evil and evil, destroyed three tribes. Those who talked in groups were executed openly, those who talked in secret were killed in secret, hundreds of buildings were clamped, and the roads were in sight...
“…While in a high position, he acts as a traitor, desecrates the country and abuses the people, and inflicts cruelty on others…
“…Through the history, we can see that people are violent and disobedient, greedy and cruel, but there is no reason why…
"...Today we must carry millions of halberds and thousands of fine cavalry to hold back the generals of summer and raise the country, so as to establish a virtuous name..."
Liu Biao took a deep breath, tried to control his voice, and made his tone calmer, and asked Liu Pan: "Does Gongshan have any explanation for your trip?" - Liu Biao wanted to know what Liu Pan thought about what he wrote in the letter.
Know or not.
Liu Pan lowered his head and replied: "This is for Mr. Liu. Liu Gongshan, the governor of Yanzhou, made a secret statement before leaving. This letter is of great importance and must be protected with his life. There is no room for failure. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
It seems that Liu Pan was unaware of this.
This is in line with common sense, Liu Biao nodded.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, would not tell Liu Pan the details easily. Although Liu Pan was Liu Biao's son, there was no problem with his loyalty. After all, this matter was of great importance. If one less person knew about it, there would be less risk.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao smiled at Liu Pan and said, "Zhong Jian has traveled thousands of miles to bring you here, and you have worked hard all the way!"
Liu Pan turned over and bowed and said, "Pan'an dares to say the word "hard work", it's your duty!"
After some gentle words of comfort, Liu Biao asked Liu Pan to go and rest first. He stayed alone in the hall with his eyes flashing. Based on the contents of the letter, he inferred that this was definitely not the Yanzhou governor Liu Dai who wanted to do this alone. There must be others.
people respond accordingly.
As for the meaning of this letter sent by Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Biao could also guess it. First, because Liu Biao himself was a member of the royal family, he would definitely not expose it even if he did not participate; secondly, Jingzhou was also an important area. If there were more
