Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 75
The fourth year of Huangchu, Emperor Wen of Wei, the third year of Zhangwu, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, the first year of Jianxing, Emperor Guangwen of Shu Han, and the second year of Wu Shiwan, Huangwu.

After the battle of Yiling last year, Sun Wu and Cao Wei fought fiercely. Cao Ren marched into Ruxukou, Zhu Huan beheaded Chang Diao, and captured Wang Shuang alive.

In the spring, Cao Zhen attacked Jiangling, and Zhu Ran defended Jiangling with five thousand troops, but Cao Zhen was unable to attack.

In May, Wei Emperor Cao Pi accepted Dong Zhaozhi's words and withdrew his troops and returned home.

In June, to vent his anger, Sun Quan ordered Mi Fang, governor of He Qi, and others to attack Cao Wei Qichun (northwest of Qichun, Hubei today), and captured Qichun prefect Jinzong alive.

Since then, it has spread from 221 to 223. The three kingdoms of Han, Wu and Wei were all won by Soochow.

But everything has nothing to do with the big man. From Liu Chan's ascension to the throne, Zhuge Liang pursued a policy of retreating to calm the people.

Although Zhuge Liang agreed with Liu Chan's idea of ​​reform, under the current circumstances, Zhuge Liang did not dare to promote reform measures on a large scale. Instead, he cautiously took Hanjia County as a pilot to implement the recovery of the county government's personnel appointment and dismissal rights.

Under Zhuge Liang's ruling, the great Han gradually stabilized.Under the decree, Wang Ping and Deng Ai went to Brazil County and Jiangyang County respectively to form two guards, Bai Jia and Chi Jia.

However, a piece of news from Nanzhong angered Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, putting Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang in a political choice.

In the Shuhan Xingong Palace.

When Liu Chan heard about the Changfang, he hurriedly called Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun into the palace.

"Chang Fang is extremely stupid, who told him to do this." Liu Chan angrily threw the memorial in front of Pan Jun and Zhuge Liang.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Chang Fang's matter is unusual, please be aware of it!" Zhuge Liang persuaded with cupped hands.

"I also think that I agree with the Prime Minister's opinion. There must be something hidden about Chang Fang." Pan Jun echoed.

"Pan Qing must have some insights for Prime Minister Sizhi (in charge of supervision work), you can talk about it first." Liu Chan, who realized that he had lost his composure, calmed down and said.

After pondering for a while, Pan Jun analyzed: "I heard that Chang Fang had a very good relationship with Li Yan in private. This time, Chang Fang passed through Qianwei County before he went south to Zangcang. He held the Zangcang master to question him and killed him. Zhu Bao heard that Chang Fang was sent again. Captured and executed."

"Oh! Pan Qing said that Li Qing may have been involved in what the regular room did this time." Liu Chan looked at Pan Jun with a half smile.

"I don't dare, I just reported the matter to His Majesty." Pan Jun hastily pleaded guilty. After all, the Changfang incident involved Li Yan, the Minister of Tuogu, and Pan Jun dared not speak lightly. .

This is no longer what Pan Jun should be responsible for supervising Erqianshi, not to mention that Pan Jun's daily work has dissatisfied the officials in Jingzhou and Yizhou, and I am afraid that he will easily touch high-level political struggles...

How did Liu Chan not know that there was Li Yan behind the Changfang incident, but he was a little uncertain how to deal with Li Yan and Changfang. Zhu Bao killed Yizhou and engaged in Changfang. It has basically shown that he has upgraded from the previous command of the county to the killing of officials. rebel.

Liu Chan hesitated and ordered Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"I don't know what Xiangfu thinks?" Liu Chan hesitated and asked Zhuge Liang.

"According to my opinion, you can kill the princes of Changfang and move their family to Zangcang County, with the heart of An Zhu's praise." Zhuge Liang said lightly.

Liu Chan's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe Zhuge Liang's words.But as soon as he thought about Li Yan and narrowed his eyes, Liu Chan already understood Zhuge Liang's true meaning.

Zhuge Liang killed the princes of Changfang and moved his family to Zangcang. On the surface, it was to appease Zhu Bao, but the deep meaning was to deter Li Yan and his henchmen.

In this political struggle, Li Yan has already failed.This time it was Li Yan who took the initiative to attack, and wanted to resolve the Nanzhong rebellion by deterrence and Huairou, so that he could expand his power in the Han Dynasty.

If Chang Fang could appease Zhu Bao and Yong Kai successfully, Li Yan might be able to get what he wanted. After all, it is impossible for Liu Chan and the central government not to reward Li Yan.

Now Chang Fang failed to appease and was killed. He tried to intimidate Zhu Bao by killing the chicken to scare the monkey, but Zhu Bao used it as a chicken to intimidate the big man.

Li Yan is self-defeating, this mess needs to be cleaned up by the central government.

Zhuge Liang intended to punish Chang Fang to separate Li Yan from Chang Fang, and even to separate other Li Yan party members.

Of course, Zhuge Liang has another meaning. Out of the need for the stability of the Han court, he protected Li Yan, the Minister of Tuogu, and said that the Changfang incident ended here.

Liu Chan pressed the hilt with his left hand, feeling the coldness of the metal, and slowly rubbed the hilt.Thinking about how to deal with Li Yan, according to what Zhuge Liang said, is a good way, but... cheap Li Yan, not punished for doing wrong things, I am afraid it will increase his prestige.

When Liu Chan was thinking, he saw Pan Jun lowered his cheeks, looking like he didn't understand.Liu Chan's heart moved, and he asked, "Pan Qing, what do you think?"

"The great official of the frontier holds great power, and if he is close to Nanzhong, if there is a leak, it will be a big trouble. Your Majesty must plan ahead!" Pan Jun replied expressionlessly.

Liu Chan asked about the punishment of the regular roommate, but Pan Jun answered irrelevant questions and said words that would be confusing to those who don't understand the depth of it.

Liu Chan pondered for a long time after hearing this, and slowly said: "The matter of Changfang, it is too much to deal with according to Xiangfu's wishes. Zhu Bao's rebellion has become a fact, Xiangfu does not need to be so comforting, if it is to show the enemy weak, it is too much to deal with. "

"After all, no matter who Chang Fang is working for, he is always working for the big man. As for Li Qingzhen, he can punish himself."

"How about moving his sons and family to Hanzhong?" Zhuge Liang understood that Liu Chan had other arrangements, and replied after pondering for a while.

"Good, it's enough for Xiangfu to arrange it like this." Liu Chan nodded and replied satisfied with Zhuge Liang's handling of Changfang.

Liu Chan looked at Pan Jun who continued to remain silent. Liu Chan understood Pan Jun's desire to stay out of the matter, but how could Liu Chan make Pan Jun happy.

"I heard that Li Qing was aloof and arrogant, and he didn't get along with Yang Hong when he was in Qianwei. At that time, Yang Qing was anxious and prepared to retire. After the death of the first emperor, Li Qing enjoyed luxury in Jianwei." Liu Chan continued.

"Pan Qing, as a director, can't help but investigate. You can investigate this in detail in the near future, and report it to me after the investigation."

There was a wry smile on Pan Jun's calm face, the more he was afraid of what would happen, Pan Jun had no choice but to promise Liu Chan.

Seeing Pan Jun's expression, Liu Chan changed his mind and thought that Pan Jun had offended many people in the big man. After thinking about it, Liu Chan said slowly: "The grain I personally harvested in Wudan Mountain a few days ago has a good taste. Xiangfu and Pan Qing would prefer it." Go home and enjoy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun knelt down to thank them.

Compared with Zhuge Liang's calmness, Pan Jun's face was full of smiles. After all, being able to eat the rice planted by the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not a kindness, what is it?
With the blessing of the Great Han Emperor, what else do you need to worry about?
What's so scary about impeaching Minister Li Yan of Tuogu for illegal things!
Liu Chan smiled and waved his sleeves to order the two to retreat, signaling Huang Hao to take the two to pick up the rice.
