Chapter 153: Receipt of Daxian's decree from the capital
Chapter 153: Accepting the Imperial Master’s Order
Tian Feng looked at Jushou in shock. Although he knew that Jushou was not happy under Han Fu, he never believed that Jushou would betray Han Fu. Jushou smiled bitterly and told him about the agreement he had made with Liu Zhang. Tian Feng asked incredulously
Said: "Marquis Champion, how can you be so sure that Han Fu will sacrifice his land to others!"
"Tian Gong, with your wisdom, you must have already seen the current situation of the Han Dynasty. But have you noticed that the current situation is very similar to that of the late Qin Dynasty! There is a proverb in the late Qin Dynasty: the ancestor dragon dies and the earth is divided. Now
The same is true for the great Han Dynasty! As long as my imperial brother dies, the princes of the world will be in chaos." Looking at the astonished expressions of Ju Shou and Tian Feng, Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "I dare to ask Tian Gong, if the world is in chaos, with Han Fu's ability, can he
Can we defend Jizhou?"
"This..." Tian Feng and Jushou looked at each other, and Jushou shook his head helplessly: "It's difficult..."
Liu Zhang glanced at Jushou and asked again: "I dare to ask Tian Gong, if the princes come to attack, Han Fu is unable to resist, but the attacking princes are the Yuan family. At that time, the Yuan family sends people to come to surrender, how will Han Fu make a decision?
?”
"To save his life, Han Fu will definitely surrender..." Jushu muttered to himself, and Tian Feng looked shocked.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Since Han Fu surrendered, can the land of Jizhou still belong to him? As Han Fu's minister, Ju Gong has two choices, one is to stay, the other is to leave. If I don't come, Ju Gong will
Naturally, I choose to stay, but I have an agreement with Duke Ju. With Ju Duke’s character, he will definitely come to Bingzhou and vote for me! If Tian Gong doesn’t come to Bingzhou, wouldn’t it be a breach of contract?”
"This..." Tian Feng asked with some confusion: "May I ask the champion, how can you be sure that Duke Ju will come to vote for you within three years? You know, your majesty is only thirty-three years old this year!"
Liu Zhang said: "This involves the secrets of the imperial court. I think Duke Ju should know it!"
Jushou smiled bitterly and said: "According to reliable information, His Majesty was critically ill for a time in August this year."
"Just because the illness is critical doesn't mean it can't be cured!" Tian Feng looked at Ju Shou and Liu Zhang, as if blaming them for cursing the emperor.
Liu Zhang said helplessly: "It can indeed be cured, but the prerequisite is that His Majesty must abstain from sexual intercourse! With your Majesty's character, if he can abstain from sexual intercourse, the sun will shine out in the west! He is seriously ill and yet he is still cured. It is estimated that there will be more than one
In a year or less, one of my two nephews will be crowned king!"
"Alas..." Tian Feng and Jushu sighed at the same time. Although their official positions were not high, they still knew the emperor's character very well. Hearing what Liu Zhang said, both of them were a little disappointed.
"Marquis Champion, what are your ambitions in troubled times?" Just when Liu Zhang wanted to ask Tian Feng to go with him again, Ju Shou suddenly asked.
"Me?" Although he was a little caught off guard, Liu Zhang had already known that Ju Shou or Tian Feng would ask such a question. He smiled slightly and said: "Zhang is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he naturally wants to help the Han Dynasty. Why does Ju Gong ask more?"
"Kuangfu Hanshi!" Jushou and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled. Since Liu Zhang was already their backup lord, they were most afraid that Liu Zhang would not have ambitions. But now, they could hear Liu Zhang's ambition from the four words Kuangfu Hanshi.
, and also strengthened their belief in following Liu Zhang.
"Feng greets my lord!" Tian Feng stood up abruptly and bowed to Liu Zhang to the end.
Liu Zhang quickly supported Tian Feng and said: "Mr. Tian, why do you have to do this!"
"The etiquette cannot be discarded!" Tian Feng straightened up and said, "My lord, you can respect me, but I am your lord's subordinate, so I should act like a subordinate. Please, lord, please stop calling me Mr. Tian. Just call me Yuan Hao!"
"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang said excitedly: "Since Yuan Hao has defected to me, I won't neglect you. Today I will appoint you as the chief secretary of Bingzhou governor's office and the secretary of Cao. I wonder what Yuan Hao wants?"
"It all depends on the Lord's orders!" Tian Feng bowed and saluted, and his originally smiling face turned very serious! Liu Zhang was even more satisfied when he saw this. Although Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Liu Ye were all talented, they were obviously young and still
A little slippery. Now that Tian Feng is in charge of Bingzhou, Liu Zhang is even more relieved.
"Yuan Hao, go and clean up. Let's get ready to go back to Bingzhou!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Of course, if you have any talents to recommend, we can also pay them a visit."
Tian Feng smiled and said: "My lord, if the most talented person in Jizhou is none other than Ju Sue, how about you take him back and I will be responsible for persuading him to surrender?"
"This is a good idea!" Liu Zhang nodded seriously!
"Thank you Tian Yuanhao for being able to worship the Ming Lord, so you are making fun of me. Be careful, I will report you to the Jizhou Governor's Office!" Jushou looked helpless. He was very reluctant to let go of Tian Feng, his old friend. He also knew that Tian Feng did this.
I want to dilute the sadness of parting.
"Okay! Don't be a girl!" Tian Feng said with a smile: "If my lord predicts it correctly, it won't be long before we meet again! When the time comes, I'll treat you!"
"Who are you being such a girl! Every time you ask for a treat, I end up paying for it!" Jushou wiped his red eyes. He had known Tian Feng for twenty years, and this was the first time they were separated!
"Next time! Next time I ask you to treat me to a treat, I'll pay for it!" Tian Feng patted Jushu on the shoulder with a look of reluctance.
"Good brother, take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Tian Feng's house didn't have many things, so he packed it up a little, took his child and wife with him, and under Ju Shou's reluctant eyes, Tian Feng left Jizhou with Liu Zhang. The journey was so hurried.
"Lord, are you back?" It took Liu Zhang more than ten days to get from Yecheng to Jinyang. When he stepped into the Governor's Mansion, Guo Jia and the others were handling official business. Guo Jia had sharp eyes and was the first to see Tian Feng.
He smiled and asked: "My lord, who is this gentleman?"
"This is Tian Feng Yuanhao, a great talent in Jizhou, who is especially good at government affairs!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Fengxiao, your position will probably need to be replaced!"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia is good at military strategy, but he is really not that good at political affairs. Now that Yuan Hao has taken over, Jia is very happy! Then we will trouble Brother Yuan Hao!"
"Don't dare!" Although Tian Feng is upright, he is not unreasonable. Since Guo Jian can joke and play with Liu Zhang, he must not be an ordinary person.
"I haven't introduced him to Yuan Hao yet!" Seeing Tian Feng's doubtful expression, Liu Zhang pointed at Guo Jiada and said, "This guy's name is Guo Jia, whose nickname is Fengxiao. He is a close friend of mine. He is particularly outstanding in military strategy and is known as a genius!
It's a pity that he is drunk and lustful, but he calls himself a romantic, terribly lazy, and is called a prodigal!"
"My lord, you are slandering!" Guo Jia said dissatisfiedly while greeting Tian Feng: "Of course, if you give me ten jars of good wine, I won't care!"
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and Tian Feng also smiled. Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly, then pointed at Xi Zhicai and said: "This is Xi Zhicai. He is also a great military strategist, and he has the wonderful ability to understand the situation."
After Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng had finished their ceremony, Liu Zhang pulled Liu Ye over again and said, "This man is amazing. He has the same clan as me. His surname is Liu Mingye and his courtesy name is Ziyang. He is the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and a descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan."
, my equal! He is not only proficient in military affairs, but also knows how to manufacture equipment. He is a rare talent."
"I have met Brother Yuan Hao!" After Liu Ye and Tian Feng saluted, he asked Liu Zhang: "My lord, you are so complimentary! What is that equipment manufacturing? Why didn't I know that I could do that kind of thing?"
"Uh..." Liu Zhang was stunned. Although in history, Liu Ye had built a thunderbolt chariot for Cao Cao, he had not built it yet. Liu Zhang accidentally let it slip. However, this did not trouble Liu Zhang. He secretly
Liu Ye said in his ear: "Zi Yang is reading the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" every day, hasn't he learned the things in it yet?"
"Uh..." Liu Ye suddenly remembered that the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" was given to him by Liu Zhang. It seemed to be a volume in "Taiping Yashu". Liu Ye touched his head with some embarrassment and said
: "Reporting to my lord, that book is too profound! I read it for a long time before I understood a little bit."
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry! Take your time and take a look! That Lu Gong refers to Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsmen. If you don't understand, call some craftsmen to discuss it, and you will definitely find something."
"This..." Liu Ye hesitated, because in the eyes of the world, although craftsmen are nobler than merchants, they are also a lowly profession. As a scholar, Liu Ye was really degrading himself by mixing with craftsmen. What's more, he had to let him
Discuss matters with craftsmen.
"It seems that my lord has entrusted a big thing to Ziyang!" Just when Liu Ye hesitated, Tian Feng suddenly laughed and said: "Although I have not known my lord for a long time, I found that what my lord has done,
They all have profound meanings. Ziyang, since my lord can entrust this matter to you, it is your honor. Sometimes, even the things my lord represents, no matter how insignificant, may affect the situation of the battle! Besides, these things
Someone has to do it!"
"Thank you, Brother Yuan Hao, I understand!" Liu Ye looked at Liu Zhang with a firm face, which made Liu Zhang a little confused. You know, Liu Zhang only changed "Lu" because in history, Liu Ye helped Cao Cao build a thunderbolt car.
"Public Secret Records" was handed over to him, and Liu Zhang also wanted to hand over the manufacturing, research and development of all military equipment under his command to Liu Ye.
Although he didn't know what Liu Ye was thinking, Liu Zhang wouldn't ask stupidly, because Tian Feng seemed to have already figured it out. Even Tian Feng didn't expect that he just comforted Liu Ye casually, which actually caused Liu Ye's mood to change.
There has been a change. Tian Feng couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart: "There are no ordinary people under the leadership of the Champion!"
"That's right!" Everyone had seen the ceremony. Guo Jia seemed to have remembered something. He picked up two imperial edicts from the case and said: "My lord, during your absence, the court sent two imperial edicts. One of them ordered you to return immediately.
Jing, please take a look at the other one for you to stay in Bingzhou."
Liu Zhang took the two imperial edicts, read them carefully, and said with a smile: "This one is covered with a jade seal, and it is obviously a woman's handwriting. It must be the emperor's sister-in-law, but this one does not have a jade seal, but I don't know whose handwriting it is!"
Let’s talk about it, should I go to the capital to wade through this muddy water?”
"Lord, let's go!" Everyone was thinking when they heard a voice. Liu Zhang looked back and saw that it was Tian Feng.
