Chapter 1246 Zhang Zhaoliang wanders around the two chief officials, and Governor Fu exposes Zhaoliang’s heart...
Zhang Zhaoliang knew that his guess was definitely correct, and Muchuan was really going to fall out with Fu Liqing.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to poach directly.
Zhang Zhaoliang immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "Thank you, Marshal, for your trust."
He was saying that he was willing to follow Muchuan.
Muchuan said: "Get up! During this time, you will first assist General Fu in handling government affairs.
When I get familiar with the situation in Youzhou, I will make arrangements for you."
"Thank you Marshal!"
Zhang Zhaoliang said softly.
Zhang Zhaoliang's ambition is not small, he wants to become the supreme ruler of Youzhou.
However, this requires chance, or luck.
But Muchuan was willing to let him assist him, which meant that Zhang Zhaoliang's opportunity had come.
He can please both sides and act as a double agent.
This made Zhang Zhaoliang enthusiastic and felt that his opportunity had come!
"You go and do your work first!"
Muchuan waved his hand and said.
"I'll say goodbye!"
Zhang Zhaoliang said.
After Zhang Zhaoliang left, Muchuan smiled.
"Ha...it's really a conspiracy!"
Muchuan said coldly.
His seemingly casual question just now was actually to test whether Zhang Zhaoliang and Fu Liqing were colluding together.
The result satisfied Muchuan, at least Zhang Zhaoliang was not willing to follow Fu Liqing!
"That's good! This saves me a lot of trouble."
A smile appeared on Muchuan's lips.
As long as Zhang Zhaoliang does not betray him, Muchuan is willing to give them a way to survive.
After all, they are also generals with military exploits, so they cannot be executed just because they want to.
…
In the evening, Fu Liqing found Zhang Zhaoliang.
"Prefect, are you looking for me?
"Zhang Zhaoliang asked.
Fu Liqing looked at Zhang Zhaoliang, was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed.
He stretched out his right hand and said, "Come, let's shake hands!"
Zhang Zhaoliang was stunned! What does this mean?
Is Fu Liqing going crazy?
The two held hands tightly together, and Fu Liqing said: "Zhang Zhaoliang, I really admire you! You are very courageous."
Zhang Zhaoliang said in surprise: "Prefect, are you kidding me? You can't do this in a humble position. This must be a conspiracy created by Muchuan."
Fu Liqing narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Zhaoliang, and said calmly: "General Zhang, if I remember correctly, this should be your idea."
"I don't understand what the prefect means?"
Zhang Zhaoliang looked puzzled.
Fu Liqing shook his head and said, "You don't have to hide it from me.
I know you also received an official position from Muchuan, am I right?"
Zhang Zhaoliang was silent for a while before nodding in acknowledgement.
"Actually, I have suspected you since last night's banquet."
Fu Liqing said.
Zhang Zhaoliang smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, are you worried that Muchuan and I will join forces to plot against you?"
"I'm afraid you will join forces to plot against me!"
Fu Liqing said in a deep voice.
Zhang Zhaoliang said: "You misunderstood! Muchuan and I were just discussing military affairs and had no personal grudges at all.
I, Zhang Zhaoliang, am not this kind of person!"
"You are indeed not this kind of person.
You and I are both ambitious people."
Fu Liqing stared at Zhang Zhaoliang and said slowly: "We are colleagues, and we have fought together on the battlefield for decades.
Each other understands each other's character very well.
Neither of us is willing to be inferior to others, and we both want to be the one who controls the entire Youzhou."
Zhang Zhaoliang said: "Prefect, you are ashamed of your humble position."
Fu Liqing snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Zhaoliang, stop pretending!"
Zhang Zhaoliang smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Now that the prefect knows it, I will confess that Lord Mu did give me an official position and promised me the position of marshal of soldiers and horses in the Anton Protectorate, but this was not my initiative.
What he wanted was given by Muchuan himself.
Moreover, he also promised me that as long as he firmly holds the position of General of Youzhou Army, he will give me the right to dispatch troops and promise to increase my salary."
Zhang Zhaoliang is not stupid either. Since Muchuan wants to win over him, he simply reveals all his goals.
"Haha..." Fu Liqing couldn't help laughing wildly: "Zhang Zhaoliang, Muchuan has given you so many benefits, how can you be willing to surrender to him?"
"Do you really think Muchuan will let you lead troops to fight?
Don't be ridiculous, he will only make you a staff member.
If you follow him, you can only serve as an aide.
Think about it, if you really became his staff, would you still be like you are now?
I'm afraid you won't have any real power by then, and you will have no choice but to rely on Muchuan and never be able to hold your head high."
"This is my choice!"
Zhang Zhaoliang said firmly.
Fu Liqing said angrily: "Zhang Zhaoliang, is it worth it for you to do this?"
Zhang Zhaoliang sneered and said, "Whether it's worth it or not, that's not up to you!"
Fu Liqing said angrily, "Zhang Zhaoliang, if you dare to betray me, I will definitely kill you!"
Zhang Zhaoliang stared at him without fear and said: "Fu Liqing, don't forget.
Your Majesty has given me military power, and any decision I make will be based on your orders.
Do you want to disobey the Holy Order?"
"You..." Fu Liqing gritted his teeth.
"You are honest."
Fu Liqing said mockingly: "When Muchuan gave you an official position, didn't he ask you to monitor me?"
Zhang Zhaoliang shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, no matter what, you and I are just grasshoppers on the same rope, so you don't need to say anything more."
Fu Liqing frowned and said, "Are you trying to prove your sincerity to me?
Or are you warning me?"
Zhang Zhaoliang said: "I don't have to do this.
I really want to work with Muchuan, and I hope the prefect can make it happen."
Fu Liqing said solemnly: "You have to think clearly. Once this matter is exposed, it will be difficult for you and me."
Zhang Zhaoliang said: "I have thought it over carefully. If your coup assassination plan at the inauguration celebration fails, the consequences will be inestimable!"
Fu Liqing fell silent immediately.
Zhang Zhaoliang continued: "It's best to handle this matter in a low-key manner!"
Fu Liqing took a deep breath and said, "I understand! Just go, everything will be implemented as planned."
Zhang Zhaoliang turned and left.
"Huhuhu~" Fu Liqing sighed and sat on the chair, his eyes empty.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and murmured: "No, I can't just let it go!"
He took out a pen and paper and started drawing quickly.
…
Muchuan was drinking tea and reading papers in the newly built Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door from outside.
Muchuan put down the paper and said, "Come in!"
A soldier pushed the door open and came in, saying: "For the information of the Grand Governor, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
"Oh, who is it?"
Muchuan asked casually.
The soldier replied: "It's Li Chunfeng."
"Invite him in."
Muchuan ordered.
Li Chunfeng walked into the room and bowed his hands: "I'm here to see the Governor."
Muchuan waved his hand, indicating that he would not be polite, and then said: "What's the matter with Director Li?
