After the outsiders dispersed, even newcomers like Cao Shen, who had joined less than two years ago, also left. Seeing that only two "confidential officials", namely himself and Gong Ao, were left, Chen Ping congratulated Hei Fu generously.
And he calls himself Lord.
Heifu was ordered to go out of the county to quell the rebellion. During the three months he was away from Jiaodong, Chen Ping helped him stabilize the rear area as the "prefect's chief history" and coordinated with the censor and the county magistrate. Not only did he not let Jiaodong suffer,
During the Linzi Rebellion, Hei Fu was able to steadily provide logistics and equipment, and was even able to "receive" some of the people who fled to Jiaodong from Linzi County to escape the rebellion, which was indispensable.
Afterwards, Hei Fu also wanted to express his gratitude to the court for him, but Chen Ping refused.
His reason was told to Heifu privately: "Chen Ping has already become famous in the north for defeating the Xiongnu a few years ago. If Ping's title is promoted again, he may not be able to continue to serve as an aide to the lord..."
This sentence made Gong Ao, who was proud of his success in killing generals and seizing the flag, become one of the "Five Great Officials" and was stunned for a moment.
He is loyal to Heifu, who surrendered in a dangerous situation in order to fulfill his promise of "bringing you home". As a mere leader of Guizhou, he led a group of brothers who were also mud-legged and grassroots. In this troubled world, he suddenly
It was Heifu who fought his way out and told them, "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind." Instead of the imperial court that Gong Ao had scorned a long time ago, let alone after using the soldiers of Nanjun, he kept them in Yuzhang.
The Emperor of the Southern Wasteland...
One of the things that Gong Ao was most proud of was that when Hei Fu got married, he resolutely resigned from his job and traveled thousands of miles north to hold the bridle for Hei Fu's second-in-command. He stayed with him and followed him up the ladder.
, attack the Huns in the north, flatten the seaside in the east, the world will look at you with suspicion, this is what a man does!
Not only has his horizons broadened a lot, but his title has also been promoted higher and higher, far surpassing Li Xian, Dongmen Bao, and Xiao Tao who stayed in Yuzhang as county captains, not to mention Ji Ying and others who were the first to follow Heifu. Regarding this,
, Gong Ao is quite contented.
But Chen Ping's words suddenly made him realize.
Yes, if his title is promoted again and reaches the level of "Qing", it will be difficult for him to continue to be a "guest" for Hei Fu. One day, he may be recruited and transferred by the imperial court. At that time, he will still
Do you want to resign like you did in the past?
So he had to admire that Chen Ping was smart and knew how to hide his skills.
It's a pity that Gong Ao's title has been obtained and it is impossible to withdraw it. I can only secretly think about how to avoid showing up and performing meritorious service if similar things happen in the future.
As for Chen Ping, Heifu was not selfless and insisted on showing his merit for Chen Ping. Instead, he gave him 400,000 yuan in private, and Gong Ao also received 200,000 yuan. Heifu said that this was their "dividend" from the Nanjun sugar cane field.
…
Gong Ao didn't understand what dividends meant, so he just continued to concentrate, listening to the conversation between Heifu and Chen Ping, every word was meaningful and every word was informative.
"What do you congratulate me for? The title of noble concubine?"
While looking at the documents Chen Ping brought from the county government, Hei Fu seemed a little careless in his answers. Hei Fu, who had been promoted two levels in a row and was only one step away from being granted the title of Marquis, had disappeared ten years ago in Anlu County.
The novelty of capturing a thief and becoming a sergeant, the joy of being beheaded and knighted in the Battle of Waihuang. After all, if you upgrade something like this too many times, you will eventually become numb." You should know that Your Majesty gave me the red clothes, but the red clothes are deep.
But it was dyed red with the blood of tens of thousands of people! From then on, when you mention Heifu, you will think of my actions in Linzi, where I beheaded thousands of white-headed old men, and my proposal to the emperor to nail the traitors to the pavilions and houses.
I have gained a bad reputation, and the number of people who hate me in the world has increased ten to a hundred times more than before. Is this worthy of congratulations?"
Chen Ping said with a smile: "The Zhao people can remember Bai Qi's murder of Changping and often want to retaliate against Qin because the parents, brothers and wives of the 450,000 Zhao people are still there. If they are displaced and their livelihood is precarious, even if they still remember the long
There is nothing that can be done about the matter of peace. Of course, Zhao's neighboring countries, such as Yan, will remember all this, but they no longer hate Lord Wu'an and Qin, but fear him! ""The situation is similar now, Tian
All the rebellious thieves died, and their families either fled or were captured. Those captured would be sent to the Great Wall, Lishan, Yuezhi, Zhangye, and Liaodong to perform hard labor. Their hatred could not hurt the lord in the slightest. But their neighbors, the countryside
The Party, and even the people of the world, except for those traitors who are bent on opposing the restoration of Qin, ordinary people should be more afraid of their lord after hearing about this incident..."
After saying this in one breath, Chen Ping concluded: "There is a saying in Ping's hometown, ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand! At present, whether the people in the world are afraid of the Lord or resentful, it does not matter, but Jiaodong
Man, I am very grateful to my lord."
This matter was understood by Heifu when all the nobles and nobles in the county came to greet Heifu by the Weishui River.
Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, because Heifu took the lead and annihilated or relocated the fields in Jiaodong. He also took advantage of Qin Shihuang's eastward patrol to strengthen public security, crack down on the activities of light knights, and fundamentally cut off the source of rebellion.
So when there was an assassination case in Langya and people were arrested everywhere. When tens of thousands of people in Linzi County rebelled and swept several counties, almost affecting Linzi. When Jibei failed to mend the situation, and various fields revolted, affecting half of the county. Only Jiaodong was affected.
, only sporadic light knights caused trouble, and they were easily solved as "security issues".
When Heifu gathered the troops from various counties and fought against the bandits in Gaotang, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, and hundreds of thousands were displaced. Many Linzi refugees came to Jiaodong to seek refuge.
Therefore, in Jiaodong County, in addition to the old Jiangqi clan, the vested interests backed by the government such as Dedilu Zuo, and the common people from all walks of life, they secretly rejoiced when they saw that the prosperous and prosperous Linzi next door was in ruins and chaos...
"Fortunately, the Jiaodong County Sheriff is a capable official!"
When the captured rebels were brought to the pavilion by the officials and nailed alive to the wooden frame, the locals in Jiaodong felt sad and thought: "Fortunately, Commander Wei treated the people kindly in Jiaodong and never killed him without teaching."
."
Human psychology, as long as there is a lot of fire in one's home, they like to watch the fire from the other side and secretly rejoice.
Good people are not guilty and traitors deserve to be punished. This is the idea of most Jiaodong and Guizhou leaders. As for the prisoners' painful wails, walk away and cover your ears. It will gradually fade away naturally. By the way, I warned my boys: "Don't imitate this."
The other generation’s conspiracy harmed themselves and their families.”
In short, in the past three months, Heifu's reputation in Jiaodong has soared from "friendly" to "revered". This is what Chen Ping calls "a bird in the hand"!
In Chen Ping's view, this was planned by Hei Fu a long time ago. It looks like he is stained with blood, but in fact, his reputation is far-reaching! "The reason why Gu Ping wants to congratulate the Lord is not that the Lord wishes to become a concubine, but..."
Chen Ping bowed to Captain Hei and said, "The cave in Jiaodong has been completed!"
But Gong Ao, the old man, was confused. There were too many metaphors in the conversation between the two, and he couldn't understand it at all. For example, what kind of bird is that? What kind of cave? What does it mean?
Chen Ping explained: "If you have a bird in your hand, the bird will enter the cave. When its wings are full, it can spread its wings and fly."
While talking, he looked at Hei Fu, this was a test, but Hei Fu did not scold him, he just shook his head, noncommittal.
This reminded Gong Ao of many years ago, when he and Chen Ping, who had just arrived, were not on good terms, until one day he made a mistake and said, "Yuzhang is the backyard of the county captain's family!" Hei Fu scolded him.
After a while, Chen Ping found him and said that he deeply believed what he said! Taking this as an opportunity, the relationship between the two improved slightly, and now he became Heifu's right-hand man. (Chapter 425)
Gong Ao seemed to understand a little bit.
But after finally understanding one thing, Chen Ping started to say something he couldn't understand: "My lord, there is still a hidden danger in this cave. Although he has made it his own fault and lost favor, as the sun gradually sets,
, who knows if one day, he will be used again, and by then, the situation in Jiaodong will have changed again. My lord, if you kill the snake, it will be harmful, and you must eradicate the evil! "
"I know."
Heifu finally spoke. Chen Ping was right. In the future, it is possible to change the emperor's thoughts on Jiaodong. Only a group of people are left in the plan. We must be on guard. They are already enemies anyway, and he happens to have a lot of dirty information about them.
How can we not add insult to injury?
"But this time, the other party's flaws have been exposed too much, and I don't even need to take action myself..."
…
In mid-July, Qin Shihuang, who had arrived in Jiujiang County, received a secret report from the magistrates of Jiaodong and Linzi counties: In the process of tracking down the rebels, it was discovered that a magician had participated in the rebellion in Zhutian, and had contacted the powerful light knights for him.
What’s even more amazing is…
"The traitor also confessed that the news that His Majesty was assassinated and died was also conveyed by Warlock Fang!"
