Chapter seven hundred and forty fifth unknown severity
Liu Xiu was able to sit on the throne not just because of his kindness, but when he needed to be ruthless, he would also be ruthless and use evil tricks.
What was the relationship between Deng Feng and Liu Xiu? It was complicated, layer by layer, but in the end he was killed by Liu Xiu. The influence of the Red Eyebrow Army was much greater than that of Deng Feng. Even now, Dong Xian is still
The existence of the leader of the Red Eyebrow Parting Division.
As long as these leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army are not dead, Liu Xiu will have trouble sleeping and eating. But the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army have already surrendered, and Liu Xiu cannot kill them for no reason, so it would be perfect to charge them with treason.
.
Deng Yu understood Liu Xiu's thoughts, and Deng Yu himself had an indissoluble feud with the Red Eyebrow Army, and had long regarded the Red Eyebrow Army as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Now that the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army are all in Luoyang, he feels that now is the time to take action against the remnants of the Red Eyebrow Army.
Jia Fu's reaction was also quick. As Jinwu, he was responsible for the security of the capital. Deng Yu had impeached the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army for conspiring to rebel. How could he act like a normal person and say nothing.
He followed Deng Feng's words completely.
As for Fu An, he was Guang Luxun, who often followed Liu Xiu. He knew exactly who Liu Xiu was afraid of and who he was concerned about. He followed Deng Yu's words completely to cater to the holy will. Look at yourself.
His brother seemed to want to speak for the Red Eyebrow Army, but Fu An hurriedly stopped him. He could ignore other things, but when it came to the Red Eyebrow Army, it was different. Now whoever speaks for the Red Eyebrow Army is tantamount to touching the emperor.
It's an act of seeking death.
This was what the three of them were thinking.
Liu Xiu, who was sitting on the throne, pondered for a moment and said quietly: "I treat Chimei based on sincerity, but Chimei treats me with evil intentions and revenge for kindness. All thieves are hateful, and their sins are unforgivable. Hold Jinwu, Guanglu
Xun!"
"Wei Chen is here!" Jia Fu and Fu An hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Liu Xiu said: "Punish the rebels severely immediately, do not implicate innocent people, and do not let a thief escape!"
"I obey the decree!" Jia Fu and Fu An said in unison.
After the court meeting, everyone exited the hall. As they were walking out, Fu Zhan caught up with Fu An and asked in a low voice: "Are Zhiwen, Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An and others really secretly plotting a rebellion?"
Fu An looked around and saw no one nearby, so he whispered: "Brother, does it really matter whether they are secretly conspiring against you or not?"
But whoever makes it difficult for the emperor to sleep and eat, how can they survive? This has nothing to do with whether they are treasonous or not, and whether they are peaceful or not.
Hearing this, Fu Zhan frowned and said sternly: "If Fan Chong and others did not conspire to rebel, then... wouldn't this be referring to deer as horses and killing innocent people indiscriminately?"
Fu An's expression suddenly changed, he subconsciously pulled Fu Zhan's sleeve, and said meaningfully: "Eldest brother is the emperor's chief disciple, and eldest brother needs to keep this in mind!"
The eldest Situ is there to relieve the emperor's worries, not to create troubles and create obstacles for the emperor. If the eldest brother is still unclear about this, it would be too dangerous.
What's more, the remnants of the Red Eyebrows are indeed a serious nuisance to the Han Dynasty. If they can be eradicated as soon as possible, they should be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future.
Fu Zhan was about to speak, but at this time, Jia Fu walked over quickly. Fu An was the first to hold his hand and said with a smile: "Zhi Jin Wu!"
Jia Fu smiled, returned the gift with his hand, and said with a smile: "This time, your Majesty will leave the matter of pacifying the thieves to you and me. I wonder if Guang Luxun has a good plan?"
Fu An said humbly: "I don't understand war, everything is decided by Zhijinwu!"
Jia Fu waved his hand and said: "Guang Luxun is too polite. You and I are both one of the nine ministers. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. Your Majesty also asked you and me to defeat the thieves together. How can we prioritize? I
Look at it like this, Fan Chong, leave Feng'an to me, Xu Xuan, leave Xie Lu to you, what does Guang Luxun think?"
Fu An had no objection and nodded in response: "Just follow King Wu's instructions!"
"Okay!" Jia Fu smiled, stroking his palms, walking side by side with Fu An, and said, "I think there must be an affair between Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng'an, and Xie Lu. How to do it? We still need to figure it out.
Discuss it carefully and plan carefully."
Fu An nodded his head and agreed: "It is very good to hold on to what I said!"
Looking at the two people walking forward while talking, Fu Zhan couldn't help but shake his head.
In the past, Fu An wandered around the world, which made him worried and angry about his failure to live up to his expectations. Now that Fu An has entered the court as an official and returned to the imperial court as one of the nine ministers, Fu Zhan dislikes him even more.
As a minister, you cannot have principles, and you cannot blindly cater to the holy will. If the emperor does something inappropriate or wrong, as a human minister, you need to give advice and dissuade him. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the ministers in the dynasty be like this?
Became a slanderer?
Fu Zhan was thinking secretly in his mind when Song Hong came over and first raised his hands and said, "Fu Situ!"
Hearing the words, Fu Zhan turned around, returned the salute with his hands, and said, "Song Sikong."
Song Hong asked: "Do Situ Fu think that Fan Chong and others are plotting rebellion? Is it true or false?"
Fu Zhan shook his head honestly, saying that he didn't know either. Song Hong asked, "What are Fu Situ's thoughts?"
"I hope this is true! It's just..." In the capital, under the emperor's feet, under the emperor's nose, they are plotting to rebel. Unless Fan Chong and others are all crazy, otherwise, they will never do this.
thing.
Song Hong said meaningfully: "I think Fu Situ doesn't believe this either?!"
Fu Zhan nodded. Song Hong frowned and said, "General Right, Zhi Jinwu and Guang Luxun have joined forces to create something out of nothing and deceive Your Majesty. What should Fu Situ do?"
Seeing Fu Zhan hanging his head and saying nothing, Song Hong asked: "Does Fu Situ want to show favoritism?" After all, Guang Luxun Fu An was his biological brother.
Fu Zhan was shaken and said hurriedly: "I never meant this."
Song Hong said categorically: "Loyal ministers should remonstrate directly! Since we know that there is something hidden in it, how can we just sit idly by and ignore it?"
Fu Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, "What does Song Sikong mean?"
"Let's go meet His Majesty!"
"this……"
"What? Now that the matter involves Guang Luxun, Fu Situ has concerns?" Song Hong is a typical scholar. He is a straight-minded person who thinks black is black and white is white. For him, there is no such thing as saying black is white.
Yes, say white as black, no matter what the reason.
Fu Zhan always valued virtue, but now that he was provoked by Song Hong's words, he couldn't bear it anymore and said seriously: "Okay! Let's go to meet His Majesty now!"
Liu Xiu was working in the Qingliang Hall. Zhang Kun came to report that Grand Situ Fu Zhan and Grand Sikong Song Hong asked to see him. Liu Xiu didn't think much and motioned to Zhang Kun to invite them in.
After a while, Fu Zhan and Song Hong came in from outside. They knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu put down the memorial in his hand, smiled at the two of them, and said: "Fu Situ, Song Sikong, please rise."
Fu Zhan and Song Hong straightened up and knelt down on the cave. Liu Xiuxiao asked, "You two gentlemen came to see me, but something happened?"
The two looked at each other, and Song Hong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think that the matters reported by General Right, Jin Wu and Guang Luxun need to be carefully verified, and we cannot make hasty conclusions."
When Liu Xiu heard this, his good mood disappeared immediately. If he didn't understand Song Hong's character, he would really doubt whether Song Hong had an affair with the Red Eyebrow Army. Otherwise, why would he speak for the Red Eyebrow remnant?
On the surface, Liu Xiu remained calm and said with a slight smile: "When Jun Wen and Zhi Wen capture the thieves, I will naturally investigate them clearly."
Song Hong said: "Your Majesty, Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others have all surrendered to our Han Dynasty. If they are imprisoned for no reason, it will be really chilling. This will also greatly damage your majesty's majesty!"
Fu Zhan nodded and responded: "Your Majesty, I think what Song Sikong said is absolutely true. If there is no real evidence, it is better not to arrest people rashly!"
Liu Xiu looked at Song Hong, then at Fu Zhan, and secretly clicked his tongue. He didn't know whether these two people really didn't understand or were pretending not to understand.
The survival of the remnants of the red eyebrows is a huge hidden danger to the Han Dynasty. If you keep these thorns in your eyes and flesh, aren't you asking for trouble and unhappiness?
Such a simple truth, the majestic Da Situ and Da Sikong don’t understand?
Liu Xiu did not speak immediately, and tapped the table with his fingertips rhythmically. Fu Zhan and Song Hong looked at each other again, and the former said: "Your Majesty has always been kind, not only to the people, but also to the enemies.
When His Majesty recruited the Bronze Horse Army in Hebei, it has become a legend among the people. Why can't Your Majesty treat Red Eyebrows equally?"
No! It's one moment and another. When he surrendered the Bronze Horse Army, he didn't have many soldiers and horses under his command. The addition of the Bronze Horse Army made him even more powerful, and the loyalty of the Bronze Horse soldiers to him has withstood the test.
It was fought one battle after another.
As for the Red Eyebrow Army? Liu Xiu really couldn't believe it. He said meaningfully: "The Bronze Horse Lords have shared weal and woe with me and are brothers and sisters. How can the Red Eyebrow thieves be compared with the Bronze Horse Lords?"
When Liu Xiu mentioned the Bronze Horse soldiers, he was using them as kings, and when he mentioned the Red Eyebrow soldiers, he was using them as thieves. He had clearly expressed his different attitudes towards Bronze Horses and Red Eyebrows. However, neither Fu Zhan nor Song Hong could
Understand the meaning of Liu Xiu’s words.
Song Hong said: "Your Majesty recruits the Bronze Horse and treats the Bronze Horse soldiers well, which will become a good story. Your Majesty recruits the Red Eyebrow soldiers, and if you can also treat the Red Eyebrow soldiers well, it will surely become another good story, and people all over the world will praise Your Majesty's mighty virtue!"
"
Liu Xiu slowly asked back: "The red-browed thieves secretly communicated with the old troops and conspired to rebel. I need to tolerate it again and again to show my power. What is Song Sikong and Fu Situ's intention?"
"Your Majesty, the matter of Fan Chong and others conspiring to rebel has not yet been determined!"
"Song Sikong is saying that General Right, Jin Wu, and Guang Luxun are united in the court to deceive me? Blind me? Humiliate me?" At this time, there was no trace of smile on Liu Xiu's face.
His face was just as sinking as water.
Song Hong was shocked and quickly kowtowed forward and said: "Wei Chen did not mean this. Wei Chen made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me!"
Liu Xiu looked at Song Hong and said nothing for a long time.
Song Hong made a mistake. Even though he was Da Sikong, one of the three princes, he and Wu Han, Deng Yu, Jia Fu, Zhu You, Gai Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, Wang Liang and others no the same.
They and Liu Xiu were brothers who shared joys and sorrows, life and death, and they were brothers. Therefore, even if they made mistakes, Liu Xiu would tolerate them again and again and protect them in every possible way. However, Song Hong, Fu Zhan and Liu Xiu were far from having such a deep relationship. Brotherly love.
If the Jianwu court is compared to a company, people like Wu Han and Deng Yu are the founders and original shareholders of the company who followed the boss Liu Xiu to expand the territory, while people like Song Hong and Fu Zhan are just A high-end wage earner hired by his boss.
This is the essential difference between them.
The Red Eyebrow Army is a thorn in Liu Xiu's heart. What Deng Yu, Jia Fu and Fu An are doing is to help Liu Xiu pull out this thorn. What Fu Zhan and Song Hong are doing now is to remove this thorn. Plunging deeper into Liu Xiu's heart, Liu Xiu's heart would be filled with ghosts.
