Chapter 151 The Zhao Brotherhood is Deep and Righteous
Chapter 151 Zhao brothers, deep love and righteousness
It is true that both Zhao Jun and Zhending County Magistrate violated the law, but in Liu Jian's view, Zhao Jun was somewhat excusable, while Zhending County Magistrate's crime was unpardonable.
It’s not that he was leaning towards the Zhao family from his heart because of Zhao Yun, at least Zhao Jun actually took out the belongings from his own family to appease the widows of the Changshan rebels. This matter is not difficult to investigate, and it only takes a little digging in the countryside to look back.
After visiting for a few days, you can find out the authenticity.
The current magistrate of Zhending County has just taken office, and he is already planning to formulate a plan with the magistrates of the county to embezzle the weapons and supplies allocated by the government to the rebels.
And their calculations are indeed very precise.
After all, Chu Yan is now revolting in the Taihang Mountains, and the commotion is quite big. The state and county are preparing to allocate 30% of the military rations and armor to Zhao Jun to appease the widows and families of the rebels, and the remaining 70% is for county magistrates and local officials.
Dahaoyou plans to keep it secretly and divide it up. When Chu Yan comes to Changshan again in the future, they will only have to use the excuse that the weapons and food they have seized were stolen by thieves, and the higher authorities will not be able to verify the authenticity.
After all, the Changshan Kingdom was already empty after the Yellow Turban chaos. There were holes everywhere that needed to be filled by Sun Jin. The real thing might not be able to draw too much attention from the kingdom.
In the end, if it doesn't work, Zhao Jun will be blamed.
Liu Jian felt that in a sense, some powerful families in Changshan had already predicted the future trend of the world, so they were anxious to reserve grain, grass, pig iron ordnance. From their personal point of view, this was also
It makes sense.
However, Zhuhao did not want to purchase emergency supplies on his own, but wanted to defraud the states and counties. This approach must not be tolerated.
This kind of thing would generally not have existed before the Yellow Turban Uprising, but it is obvious that the sequelae of the eight-state linkage after the Yellow Turban Uprising have already appeared. Starting from the most basic tycoons, all manor owners with some strength and influence in the world
, has already begun to take action.
"When he falls asleep, let someone wake him up. Just tell him that I have something important to see him, and he will definitely come to see you!"
"I can see that you two have a deep love for each other. In order to fight against your sins, your brother Zhao Jun asked you to pretend to be an idle man with no knowledge, skills or etiquette. But why did you accept it so easily? You have been pretending to be a walk-in all day long.
A hunting dog, an idler who is ignorant of etiquette and knowledge...haven't you ever thought about living and dying with your brother?"
However, Zhao Jun was a sensible person after all. He simply made Zhao Yun and these little brothers into a group of "hated rural idlers" who were not useful enough, so that he could silence the Zhending County Magistrate.
Don't let your brothers get involved.
It's no wonder that Liu Hao was angry. He finally made up his mind and spent all his wealth accumulated over the years to buy weapons and supplies for the rebels. He never thought that the so-called two thousand rebels were just a trap set up by Zhending County Magistrate and local tycoons.
The trick is to defraud him of his old capital.
The magistrate of Zhending County was not at ease with the Zhao family. Since he had already made up his mind to convict Zhao Jun in the future, he might as well involve his younger brother. If the incident came to light in the future, they would be dealt with together without leaving any trace.
future trouble.
The steward said with some confusion: "My father-in-law, the night is deep at this time, I am afraid that Mr. Dong has already fallen asleep..."
Liu Jian asked Zhao Yun, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."
Liu Yan pointed to the steward and said, "Send someone quickly to ask Mr. Dong to come here. I have important matters to discuss with him!"
"My father-in-law, when will you give me the order?"
After Liu Yan saw Liu Jian's handwriting, he suddenly slapped the table with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Then, I heard him shouting toward the door: "Here comes someone!"
"Uncle Fang, please speak."
"only!"
Liu Jian's letter was quickly sent to Luoyang.
…
"I don't dare. Uncle Fang can ask this question, which shows that he is a true hero. I admire him very much!"
But it was to make the county magistrate hate Zhao Yun even more.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, with an expression on his face that was both guilty and sad.
Seeing that Liu Hao was furious, Liu Jian comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Since this happened in Jizhou, as the pastor of Western Jizhou, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. I have made a comprehensive plan and will not let it happen." The king has suffered a loss."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "If the king is willing, I am willing to give the credit to the king."
Liu Jian sighed, looked at Zhao Yun, and said, "There is one last thing I want to ask clearly."
When Liu Hao heard this, he was greatly surprised: "Is Deran serious about what he said?"
Liu Hao looked at Liu Jian with some disbelief: "De Ran, at this moment, do you still want me to continue to contribute money to support the non-existent rebel army?"
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Uncle Fang."
The letter to Liu Yan is very long, and the letter to Liu Bei is also very long.
In addition, Liu Jian continued to send people to purchase military supplies and weapons from the Zhen family, and still dispatched Chang Shan to serve as military supplies for the rebel army.
However, if Liu Hao really went to Zhending County Magistrate with a sword to fight Zhao Jun, it would be hard for others to tell, and if Zhao Jun wanted to kill Liu Hao, there should be no big problem.
"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"
Not long after, I saw the steward hurriedly entering his warm pavilion.
How can a person who is idle and idle be of great use?
Liu Jian recalled carefully that that night Zhao Jun and Zhao Yun acted rudely in front of the nobles. Zhao Yun at least greeted all the nobles one by one, but he did not say even a word to the Zhending County Magistrate.
"Let the credit go to the few?"
These words were quite sincere and moved King Changshan very much.
…
Think about the time when I first heard "Zhao Zilong is uneducated and has no skills" and asked Zhao Jun if he knew his younger brother. Zhao Jun had a look of surprise on his face and was too panicked to answer.
Even late at night, after receiving Liu Yan's invitation, Dong Fu still got up and took a carriage to Liu Yan's residence.
He raised his hands to Zhao Yun and saluted: "Brother Zhao, what I said just now was very offensive, please don't blame me!"
…
"Deran is such a talented person. The case of the Changshan National Rebel Army can help us achieve great things! If Deran is here, I really should have a three-jue dinner with him!"
He stepped forward and held Liu Jian's hand, and said: "In this way, the Changshan Kingdom depends entirely on Deran, and my future depends entirely on Deran. As long as Deran can help me this time, I am willing to swear to heaven. Everything in the future must be based on virtue!"
When he said this, he saw Liu Yan standing up and walking back and forth in the hall.
Liu Yan rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "I never thought that Liu Deran would be able to involve so many thoughts by really deciding the matter. The next day I will report this matter to your majesty, which will make your majesty sleepless."
After Dong Fu took a rough look at it, he actually took a breath of cold air.
This incident of Tsuneyama Shinsei may be just a representative case, but it is definitely not a single one.
Of course, Liu Jian still did not forget to inform King Changshan and Prime Minister Changshan of this matter.
"Brother Zhao Jun, did you ask you to pretend to be a young man who doesn't observe etiquette and doesn't do his job properly? Is it to keep you away from the Zhending County Magistrate and not get involved in this matter, and to protect you?"
It was like being slapped loudly in the face.
Zhao Yun said: "Yes, in fact, my brother also understands that if something happens in the future, the county magistrate and various tycoons will definitely entrust him to me. But my brother, the Zhao family, has no other plan except this method. There are only two brothers in my family. The county magistrate had previously told my brother that he wanted me to be responsible for contacting Zhuhao secretly, but my brother has always refused."
After Changshan King Liu Hao heard the news, he was furious. He drew his sword from his waist and went to kill Zhending County Magistrate and Zhao Jun, but was stopped by Sun Jin.
Regarding today's events, Liu Jian was tight on the outside and relaxed on the inside. He wrote a memorial about everything that happened during this time and sent it to Luoyang. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Liu Yan and another letter to Liu Bei.
After meeting, Liu Yan handed him Liu Jian's letter to read.
Liu Jian nodded. He could probably guess what the magistrate Zhending and Zhao Jun were thinking.
It seems that after the Yellow Turban incident, signs of chaos have emerged.
Liu Hao blinked his eyes in confusion and said: "Let me solve it? But, I have no idea about everything involved in this. Everything was arranged by De Ran."
Now that I think about it, I accidentally mentioned his vital point!
"Yes, the king does not need to back down. Although this matter is annoying, it also gives the king a chance to make up for his past mistakes. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thieves broke out everywhere, and the right-wing people stepped up their efforts to gather grain and build the wall of Uburg. Although iron tools are used to protect one's ancestral property, they will inevitably cause turmoil in the future. If the king can take the lead in solving this incident in Zhending County, he will be regarded as a model by the court, and no one will be guilty of abandoning the country in the past. Investigated."
At that time, Dong Fu had returned to Luoyang after Ping Huangjin and was recruited to serve in the General's Mansion.
How has King Changshan, the most "old and naughty" among the princes and kings, ever suffered such humiliation!
At this time, I suddenly heard Xia Houlan say: "Uncle Fang, this is not Zilong's fault. The eldest uncle of the Zhao family died early, leaving only this pair of brothers. Brother Zhao has been married for many years and has never had a son or a daughter. If If the two brothers are accused at the same time... their whole family will become extinct."
…
When Liu Jian heard this, he suddenly realized.
He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Liu Deran plans to use the truth to let your Majesty completely let go of Li Mu. The strategies and strategies mentioned in his letter are actually the best method. I have studied the art of prophecy for many years, and I think that I have understood the heart of the world, and I don’t expect that Liu Deran will be able to outshine the old man and be better than me. He is really to be feared in the future, and the future generations will be feared."
…
"Liu and the king belong to the same clan. Although they are from different branches, going back hundreds of years, they are from the same family. If it can help the king regain trust in front of His Majesty, Liu will not shirk it."
Liu Jian looked around at everyone and said: "You don't need to say anything about today's matter. Liu will handle everything freely. We will act as usual and everything will be as usual. The right and wrong will be decided tomorrow."
Dong Fu nodded and said: "I originally thought that the matter of establishing an animal husbandry would have to be postponed for at least three or four years, but now that Liu Deran has really messed up the matter, I am afraid that these three or four years will also be saved. "
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "Sir, I will go to the palace to advise His Majesty the next day. What do you think, Sir?"
Dong Fu said hurriedly: "This matter still needs to be discussed carefully. Only after we have planned and deduced it without any hindrance can we enter the palace and report to His Majesty."
