Promise!" Yuan Ang kowtowed and said, "Everyone who has rebelled against my traitors will kill them! I obey your orders!"
"In addition, I have to trouble Duke Si to go to Anyi for me. In order to appease Zhou Yang, I told him that the imperial court wants to appoint him as a daxing, so he should be prepared and decide on his successor as soon as possible!" Liu De added
road.
The people contacted by Yuan An could only ensure that in case Zhou Yangyou rebelled, the scale would be limited to a small area.
But there is no guarantee that he will not be able to rebel.
Zhou Yangyou has been a county guard in Hedong for three years. If he said that he did not have a few die-hard confidants and idiot supporters, no one would believe him!
To ensure nothing goes wrong, you still have to act according to the original plan.
And Yuan An is the most suitable candidate to stabilize Zhou Yangyou.
The most important thing is that as long as Yuan An appears in Anyi, it can be ensured that except for Zhou Yangyou's die-hard loyalists, no one else will listen to Zhou Yangyou's orders.
After hearing Liu De's words, Yuan An nodded and said: "I obey your orders!"
After saying that, he wanted to get up and retire, contact the officials, and go to Anyi to carry out Liu De's order.
But Liu De stopped him and said: "Si Gong, Angel Zhang De, and I have an old relationship. If possible, please leave him a way to survive..."
Liu De hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.
Zhang De, this time, this errand was undoubtedly a failure!
When he returns to Chang'an, he will shed his skin even if he doesn't die!
Why?
As an angel, he controls Hedong with integrity. He has the power to kill first and then report, and to adapt to the situation.
Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong County, told him in front of him to kill the county commander Shi, Sima and the postal supervisor.
At that time, Zhang De's best strategy was to order Zhou Yangyou to be captured first, regardless of the situation. Even if Zhou Yangyou broke out on the spot and raised his troops to rebel, Zhang De would still be guilty of meritorious service, and would even be considered a loyal slave.
The central strategy is to leave immediately and then write a letter to Chang'an. Although this is in vain, at least the stance is firm and politically correct.
But he chose the last resort!
That is to say, he did not order the immediate arrest of Zhou Yangyou on the charge of being a traitor. He also did not walk away and draw a clear line from the matter. Instead, he stayed in Anyi... Of course, this choice cannot be said to be stupid. Most of the ordinary ministers faced the scene at that time.
I will make the same choice as Zhang De.
But he is a eunuch! For eunuchs, this is the way to die!
As a eunuch, he was not firm in his stance and politically incorrect. He returned to Chang'an. As long as someone mentioned his performance in Hedong, the emperor would not kill him, but the ministers would kill him too!
But Liu De can't ignore death!
Although Zhang De's performance in Anyi was extremely bad, to put it bluntly, he dug his own grave!
However, Liu De remembered that a famous American politician in later generations said something that probably meant: I know he is a bastard, but he is also my bastard! Where does it get you scumbags’ turn to point fingers?
Although this sentence is rude, it tells the true meaning of politics.
Although what Zhang De did this time was not politically firm or correct, as a eunuch, even if he died ten thousand times, he would not be able to make up for this mistake!
However, he is Liu De's person, at least he is someone who loves Liu De.
Liu De must protect him!
At least you have to act like you're protecting him.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for Liu De in the future?
Especially now that Liu De is not a prince, let alone an emperor, this statement is especially needed!
Liu De must let his subordinates know that he is a towering tree, and those who work for him will be protected!
It may be shameless to say this, but this is politics!
"Zhang De?" Yuan Ang smiled. He was not surprised at all that Liu De had a friendship with Zhang De. He was in the palace and had ambitions for the country. How could he not win over a few eunuchs? Even today, he had to win over the late emperor.
Beigong's uncle was his favorite minister in order to speak favorably in front of the late emperor. As a civil servant, Yuan An naturally looked down on all eunuchs. At that time, Beigong's uncle was famous both inside and outside the court for his loyalty and benevolence. I don't know how many people had received his favor, but
Many of those who had benefited from him still looked down on Uncle Beigong. Although Yuan Ang did not hate all eunuchs to the extreme, but he wanted him to help an eunuch... This... was really difficult! However, in front of
In front of Liu De, Yuan Ang would not be stupid enough to refuse him face to face. Instead, he said without any objection: "I will do my best!"
As for whether we really want to let Zhang De go and give him a way out?
hehe……
Liu De didn't know what Yuan An was thinking. Seeing Yuan An's willingness to agree, he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't think too deeply about it. He smiled and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Si Gong!"
"I will take everyone to continue to Fenyin. Si Gong will go to Anyi first. When everything is arranged, I will ask Si Gong to pass a letter to me..." Liu De said: "When the father's edict arrives, it will be the time when Zhou Yangyou will be crowned.
!”
Under the Han system, the life and death of the two thousand stone ministers could only be decided by the emperor.
Although Liu De is the prince, he cannot overstep his authority.
Ji An has already set off. Calculating the time, he can cross the river in at most one day. As long as Ji An crosses the river, according to the system, the local officials of Hongnong will immediately send the news to Chang'an by expedited delivery.
The Han Dynasty had an emergency message transmission system. Even if something happened in Wu Chu, under the protection of this system, it could be guaranteed to reach Chang'an in two days.
From Hongnong to Guanzhong, the news can be passed to the emperor of Chang'an before sunset at most the day after tomorrow. Then according to the process, the emperor will immediately convene the civil and military officials to discuss, then come up with a plan, and then pass the order to Liu De. Then
It should be four or five days later.
"That is to say, I only have four or five days to dig out the Fenyin Cauldron..." Liu De thought in his heart, he must speed up the progress!
Otherwise, as soon as the emperor's edict comes, no matter what, he must immediately return to Anyi to deal with Zhou Yangyou.
Then I have to go back to Chang'an.
Going out for a trip, causing such a big incident, and letting him wander outside again, Liu De felt that even if his father agreed, all the ministers would object!
From this time on, at least within three to five years, Liu De will not even think about taking a step outside the scope of the third assistant!
After the group came down the mountain, Yuan An left and rushed to Anyi to contact officials and stabilize Zhou Yangyou.
Liu De personally sent him to Jieshan Pass, then came back and ordered him to break camp and continue to Fenyin County.
Before sunset, Liu De and his party entered Fenyin County, and Zhou Zuoche, the contemporary Fenyin marshal, personally greeted them at the county boundary.
"I respectfully welcome His Highness to Fenyin!" Zhou Zuoche is a very young aristocratic son, no more than twenty years old. He wears a brand-new Liu crown on his head and a long sword at his waist. He has obviously worked hard to be deliberate.
He got close to and fawned over Liu De.
"My beloved, please get up quickly..." When Liu De saw him, he quickly got out of the car and helped him up: "The Qing family has been loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty for generations, and Fenyin mourns for you. Even my imperial father respects you very much. In front of me, I will
No need to do this anymore!”
"How dare you, how dare you!" Zhou Zuoche stood up and said, "I have prepared a small amount of wine to wash away the wind and dust for His Highness. I would also like to ask Your Highness to show your favor and move to this humble abode..."
"No hurry..." Liu De waved his hand and said, "Please introduce Fenyin County to me..."
Liu De raised his head and looked at the sun that had set in the west. It was summer now, the longest day in midsummer, and there was still some time before dark. He could take this opportunity to take a good look at Fenyin, so as to prepare for the trip to the tripod tomorrow.
Lay a good foundation! (To be continued...)
