Chapter 66 Relocation
Seeing Liu Pan and Zhang Xian constantly defending each other, Zhang Yi shook his head secretly. His father's attitude was already very obvious. He punished Qu Xiong without killing him, and used the heart of An Qu family to make him use it for his own use. Therefore, no matter how much Liu Pan said it, it would be useless.
As a leading scholar in Changsha, Liu Pan is not a Confucian scholar who only understands classics. How could he not see Zhang Xian’s intention? He did this just to express his attitude to the Duke, so as not to punish him too lightly.
Except for Liu Pan, the other officials in the hall were silent. Li Yong, the central governor, was Zhang Xian's minion and rarely made his own voice.
The chief clerk Wu Ju came from the Wu clan of Changsha. He was the one who was the king of Changsha in the early Han Dynasty. Wu Rui and the Qu clan had a marriage. Even if Wu Ju didn't help, he would not hurt Qu Xiong.
Gongcao Huanjie generally did not express his opinions easily. He was the right side of the county court, that is, the right side of the court troupe, and the head of the county officials. Once he spoke, he would definitely make a final decision.
Just as Liu Pan quoted various scriptures and criticized Zhang Xian, the left thief Cao Chengji returned to the main hall alone.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other and thought to himself: "Why did Xuanji come back alone? Could it be that he was escaped by Qu Yuanbo?"
Faced with Zhang Xian's inquiry, Cheng Ji replied: "Report to the Lord of the Mansion, the officials have escorted all 28 guests back, but Qu Yuanbo and others have suffered heavy trauma and are currently undergoing treatment in the medical department."
Zhang Xian looked surprised, which was really unexpected, and he hurriedly asked, "Are they resisting arrest and being injured by you?"
"No." Chengji quickly shook his head and denied, "When the lower officials led people to the east gate of Xishi City, the district Yuanbo and his disciples had been captured by Liu Zhongda and Liu Jun, the left historian of the city."
"Qu Yuanbo was captured by Liu Zhongda?" Liu Pan suddenly stood up, looking shocked, as if he was listening to a fantasy.
Zhang Xian was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Qu Yuanbo heard of Changsha with his strength, and his disciples were all brave and desperate people. How did Liu Zhongda capture them?"
While recalling what he saw and heard in the city just now, he said: "Jun Liu is already famous. Since he took office, he has used his kindness and power in the city and established an unmatched prestige. Not only are the officials in the city willing to die, but the heroes and heroes in the city are also willing to be the forefront. Liu Jun drew his sword, hundreds of people followed, and thousands of people cheered. Qu Xiong resisted stubbornly, was injured several times, and had a scattered head and lame, and kneeled down at Liu Jun's feet."
As the results were finished, Zhengtang immediately fell into death silence.
Everyone here, including the prefect Zhang Xian, can be said to be aware of Qu Yuanbo. He knows his arrogance and domineeringness very well. It is hard for them to imagine how such a hero who is so arrogant and loving to the reputation will feel like, with a scattered head and lameness in public, kneeling down to surrender to the enemy?
Zhang Xian was very surprised. In his impression, Liu Jing was young, but he was both virtuous and talented, and could be called the seed of a famous scholar. He already had the intention of cultivating, but the other party had just started an official and was very young, so he was going to wait for a year or two before recruiting to listen to the students.
But now it seems that I underestimated him. Before he was young, he first entered the market and captured the hearts of a city. He regarded Yuan Bo, the heroic district of Changsha, as if nothing had happened and captured him. Such a person can no longer be treated as a young man.
Huan Jie was also very moved. To be honest, Liu Jing insisted on going to the market, but refused to recruit him, which made him feel quite unhappy. Unexpectedly, he had been in the market for less than a month, but he had already attracted the attention of the whole county. In this way, it seemed that he was much better to go to the market than to stay by his side to help with his pens and inkstones.
Li Yong recalled a scene that happened at the Huan family more than a month ago. When he "questioned" Liu Jing: "Bribery of the thief Cao, can you tell the law of the king?" Liu Jing said: "The people are wronged and the supervisor is responsible." At that time, he laughed it off, just thinking that the young man was conceited and didn't care. Unexpectedly, he misunderstood. This is not a child, it is clearly a tiger!
The most shocking thing about everyone in the hall was Liu Pan. Yesterday, the two were still talking about Qu Xiong. Liu Jing compared it to the second Qu Xing, while Liu Pan repeatedly told him to be careful of Qu Xiong. However, Liu Jing had never thought that Liu Jing gave him a huge "surprise" today.
Liu Pan calmed down a little, knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and said: "The Lord of the Mansion, the Lord of the District Yuanbo beat the municipal officials in public and held troops to fight against the officials. This is a death sentence!"
Zhang Xian couldn't help but feel a headache and said, "When I first entered Changsha, I rely on the power of the Qu family to quickly quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation. The Qu family has kindness to me, and Qu Yuanbo is also a good talent, so I really can't bear to kill him."
Liu Pan said seriously: "It is precisely because the Qu family relied on their merits that they became arrogant and domineering, that the people of Changsha regard it as a tiger and wolf. The Book of Documents says: 'The punishment of King Wen is not punished.' The benevolence and virtue in ancient and modern times has not been greater than that of King Wen, and King Wen still punishes guilty but does not leniently forgive. If the Duke continues to indulge the Duke and does not impose strict laws, the people of Changsha will gradually stay away from the Duke."
The hall was silent for a moment, and the officials looked at Liu Pan in shock. His words were no longer ordinary advice. To put it bluntly, they almost pointed at Zhang Xian's nose and threatened and intimidated him.
In Changsha, only Liu Pan, who is a member of the Guan clan, royal family, famous scholars and officials, dares to treat Zhang Xian without any hesitation. Of course, this is also Zhang Xian is willing to be kind and tolerant. Otherwise, if you encounter a foolish leader, no matter what your identity is, you will never be able to escape death.
Zhang Xian looked embarrassed and felt embarrassed and angry. His son Zhang Yi was furious when he heard this and "screamed" me in front of his son. There was nothing more rude in the world than this. He was about to get up to scold him, but Zhang Xian pressed him down.
"Yuan Long's sharp words are really piercing his heart and lungs." Zhang Xian said with a wry smile.
Liu Pan said expressionlessly: "Liu Zhongda is the contemporary crown of my Liu family in Longqiu, and is a member of our clan. Qu Yuanbo has a narrow personality. If he does not die, he will have dirty thoughts..."
It is related to the rise and fall of a clan. Liu Pan naturally has to put him to death when he has the chance to eliminate future troubles.
Zhang Xian knew that if Qu Xiong was not severely punished, Liu Pan would probably not give up.
As for killing Kuo Xiong? He never had this idea from beginning to end.
It is not shy to say that Qu's family is much more important in his eyes than Longqiu Liu. Once he encounters an invasion of "foreign enemies", Longqiu Liu may not be in the same mind as him. Only Qu's family is his real arm support, so how could he cut off his arms?
Since the two strong people are fighting, there will be one injury. Just separate them and never meet each other.
Zhang Xian decided to "moved Qu Xiong to the border" and Qu's family operated Jiaozhou for a hundred years. If Qu Xiong was moved to Lingling, Guiyang, two places close to Jiaozhou, would probably not be satisfied with Liu.
Then he moved to Baqiu and ordered him to guard the Yangtze River. If he was pardoned, he would not be allowed to return to Changsha for life. In this way, he would be able to relieve Liu's heart.
