Huanxuan originally had the power support of the Jingzhou system, and his origin was also very subtle. After all, the Huan family of Qiao State was of course a noble family, so the powerful family did not hate him and would not despise him. But after all, the Huan family
Unlike the Langya Wang family, who are naked
He ruled everything with his clan, and promoted his disciples regardless of suspicion. Besides, after all, Huan Wen and Huan Chong had many military exploits, and the Jingzhou soldiers were also real elites. During the Huan Wen era, he tried to seize the legitimate son many times, but now Huan Xuan continues to inherit his father's legacy.
, actually it’s not surprising at all
Moreover, in history, the reason why Liu Yu finally rose up and seized the real power of the entire imperial court was due to nothing else but the process of suppressing Huan Xuan.
Huan Xuan was considered invincible before, but Liu Yu finally defeated him, so naturally his prestige and strength would be higher, and no one would dare to challenge him.
Hu Kai looked at the excited Duan Ye and was a little confused, but he did not ask, but said: "What do you think we should do, sir?"
Duan Ye smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. If Huan Xuan wants to rebel, let him do it. Not only will he rebel, we will also support him!"
"Support Huan Xuan?" Hu Kai said in surprise
"Yes," Duan Ye said confidently, "Isn't Liu Guo in Jiangzuo? Now let him change his schedule and go up the river to Jiangling. I guess Huanxuan will not dare to go to Jiankang, so just go there to see him.
"
"But..." Hu Kai hesitated for a moment, but did not ask after all, because he knew that for subordinates, if you don't know the reason for many things, don't ask, it is best to just do it.
Duan Ye saw his doubts, but he was different from many people in this regard. Many people in positions of power actually like to deliberately complicate simple things, and even deliberately create clouds and fog to make you unclear about the details. But in fact, this
It's the so-called emperor's mind trick. Its purpose is to make you unable to detect his depth and understand what he is thinking.
Duan Ye believes that this is of no use. For ignorant people, they already believe it. For smart people, your tricks cannot fool people at all, but they cannot win people's hearts.
Duan Ye feels that showing it to the city is always the best way. Only by letting subordinates have no doubts in their minds and clarifying the goals can they implement them more effectively.
"Hahaha, I should tell you," Duan Ye said, "There is no doubt that our biggest opponent in the future can only be Liu Yu. This man comes from a poor family, has a strong will, and has a group of Beifu brothers to help him.
With great ambitions and tenacity, he will definitely become something great. Although he is both my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law, private is private and public is public."
"yes"
"So" Duan Ye raised his finger, "I'm not surprised that there will eventually be a showdown between us, and it's impossible for me to use some extraordinary means to deal with him now. After all, you know, Sister Ru's factors,
We also have to consider that, since Huan Xuan is a suitable chess piece, why don’t we use it?”
Hu Kai suddenly realized...
In the next few days, Duan Ye took a good rest in Jincheng. Although there was a lot of news from the outside world, for example, in Hebei, Murong Chui won consecutive battles, while Murong Chong deserted his relatives and now defended Yecheng; in Lianghuai, Liu Yu and Fu Rui started a fierce battle.
, Liu Yu still looks like a
Like a nail, it was stuck firmly in Shouchun, even if it could be defended; in the Central Plains, Zhai Bin's troops came out again after recuperation, and Liu Bobo had become their core general; in Mobei, Tuoba Gui was
Conquests began in all directions, and tribes everywhere began to surrender one after another.
; In Guanzhong, for some reason, both Yao Chang and Fu Hong have recently chosen to calm down. There has been no war in Guanzhong for a long time; in Jiankang, the adults in the court are naturally still wrangling. This time Huan Xuan refused on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Came to Jiangling to accept the appointment, but,
However, he still wrote in the title book and listed a long list, requesting the promotion of hundreds of his subordinates. Emperor Sima Yao and others were of course furious, but Huan Xuan had an army at his disposal and was a capable man.
Unless you send troops to destroy him, what can you do?
In short, everywhere else is in chaos, but Duan Ye has been living a somewhat peaceful life these days.
Everything in Jincheng was on track. The bandits were wiped out and the bullies were beheaded. Under Jiao Meng's persuasion, other wealthy gentry also surrendered and stopped causing trouble, because Duan Ye told them clearly that Lao
Make money honestly, reduce the exploitation of the people, and make the pie bigger. In fact, individuals will only get more. Otherwise, be careful about Duan Ye killing people.
After doing this, everyone became honest, and they were not short-sighted. After looking at it for two months, they found that this was really the case. Nowadays, there are more people in Jincheng, more products, and many people have places to work. If they can work, they can naturally
To make money, you have to spend money if you can make money, so they make more money themselves.
What's more important is that after they started to behave honestly because of their fear of losing their jobs, they were surprised to find that their image in the minds of the people had improved a lot. In the past, although it was not said to be reviled by thousands of people, they bullied their neighbors.
But I have done it many times. Although those people are afraid of pressure and don't dare to scold them publicly, they gnash their teeth behind their backs. Of course they know that they are just saying it behind their backs. They are worried about the impact, but they don't dare to retaliate publicly.
But now, they have chosen to reduce the burden on the people and ease their exploitation. Now, many people walking on the street actually heard people saying that they were better!
Now, it is more satisfying than letting them make more money. These people are not short of money. They all came here with good food and clothing, but what they value most is reputation and recognition from others. How much money do they get?
Everyone is willing to change
Think about it, in the past, people poked your spine, but now they say you are a good person. How strong is the contrast? How many people are convinced by Duan Ye? Therefore, many people only choose to cooperate with Duan Ye because they are lucky or have to compromise.
But now, most of them are convinced
At this time, Duan Ye was sure that Jincheng County was firmly in his hands and there would be no problems. At this time, he decided to meet Qifu Chipan, the original owner of Jincheng County.
Qifu Chipan now lives in a clean cell with a bed and a desk, and meals are prepared for him every day. However, he has been drugged long ago, and his martial arts has been completely disabled. After all, he was
He is also a brave champion of the three armies. Duan Ye does not want such a thing as a prison break to happen.
Taking Liu Yiru with him, Duan Ye came outside the cell. Qifu Chipan was reading a book. When he looked up, he saw Duan Ye coming and couldn't help but smile: "Are you here?"
At this moment, Qifu Chipan's expression was peaceful and calm. The two of them seemed not to be enemies at all, but like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Duan Ye nodded lightly and said: "Here we come."
Someone had already prepared a chair. Duan Ye was not polite and sat down directly, saying: "I'm here to see you."
Qifu Chipan shrugged, "I have read all the daily briefings you sent. I have to admit that Jincheng County is developing very well now. It seems that it is not an accident that you were able to do what you did in Dunhuang.
Yes, you are indeed more suitable to be an official than most people in this world, but, put it this way, are you here to declare victory to me?"
It's normal for Qifu Chipan to think this way. Now everything in Jincheng is in order, and the scholars, peasants, industry and merchants live and work in peace and contentment. The people of Qifu tribe will never have a chance again. After all, everyone has finally lived a good life, who is willing to go through trouble? Who is willing to go through trouble?
Are you still willing to go back to the past?
"I must admit that deep down in my heart I may have a little intention of showing off, but my original intention of coming here is really not." Duan Ye did not hide anything.
"Okay!" Qifu Chipan clapped his hands, "Mr. Duan, your frankness and honesty may be the biggest factor in your success. I can't imitate you in this."
"That's ridiculous," Duan Ye said, "I'm here today...well, actually, the main thing is to talk to you. Don't worry, although we were enemies in the past, there should be no grudges between us. Some things should be our own.
It’s just the Lord, so I have no intention of coming to demonstrate.”
Qifu Chipan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I did not approve of my uncle raising the flag to rebel at that time. Our Qifu tribe has long been well-established in Jincheng and is no different than an uncrowned king. That title is actually not that important."
Duan Ye said: "Chipan, what you say seems unobjective. If Guoren doesn't do this, then your father will be the leader of the Begging Tribe. He has been in Chang'an for a long time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to lead the tribe."
"That's true," Qifu Chipan said calmly, "but no matter what, we are still too weak to raise such a big banner directly. As a result, we also attracted you. Haha, although we resisted desperately, but
Still not as good as others, and eventually the body and the country will be destroyed, alas."
"The Duke ran away," Duan Ye said, "So, your family has no descendants."
"What did you say?" Qifu Chipan was a little shocked at this time and stood up suddenly.
"I don't need to lie to you," Duan Ye said. "It's very simple. No matter how tight the siege is, there are still loopholes. It's not that I didn't want to catch Qifu Gongfu, but I really didn't catch him. He was walking westward.
To the west is the Snowy Mountains, which we are not familiar with, so I can’t continue the pursuit.”
"I hope he can be an ordinary person honestly." Qifu Chipan sat down slumped and sighed: "Oh, the government's ambition is stronger than mine. I know that he not only thinks about my position, but also thinks about it.
To be bigger, now that he has suffered such a blow, if he can return to the common people, be an ordinary person, live an honest life, marry a wife and have children, and pass on our surname, he will be worthy of his ancestors.
"
Duan Ye said: "I promise you, if he really establishes himself among the people and never comes out to oppose me, I will definitely let him go."
