Han Zhan and others walked forward for several miles and saw people waiting on both sides of the official road.

Amid the sound of drums and music, Xun Yu brought a group of civil and military officials from Jizhou to greet Han Zhan, who was sitting on the horse's back: "I am waiting to welcome the lord back to the court, congratulations to the lord for his fairness in Dingqingzhou!"

After the civil and military officials in Jizhou were ordered to welcome Han Zhan, all the civil and military officials who came to welcome Han Zhan came forward and bowed to Han Zhan neatly: "We are welcome to the Marquis of Anyang for returning to the court, and congratulations to Marquis of Anyang for pacifying Qingzhou!"

Han Zhan could still sit on the back of a horse when facing the subordinates who came to greet him. However, when facing the Chinese civil and military officials representing Emperor Xian of Han, he did not dare to be so arrogant. Otherwise, someone would definitely comment on him as being arrogant. He quickly turned over and dismounted and stepped forward to bow to all the officials to return gifts.

When bowing to everyone, Han Zhan's eyes quickly swept through the crowd, trying to find the servant Yang Qi who had been plotting against him behind his back. But after watching for a moment, he was disappointed. There were hundreds of civil and military officials in front of him. Not to mention a servant who had never met before, even some familiar officials could not find them out from the crowd in a hurry.

The Grand Marshal Yang Biao stood up and said to Han Zhan with a smile: "Marty of Anyang, the emperor has prepared a banquet for you in the palace. Let's go to the city as soon as possible."

Looking at Yang Biao who was talking to him, Han Zhan thought to himself: Isn’t that Yang Qi and Yang Biao a relative? If they have any relationship, once they take action against Yang Qi in the future, wouldn’t they offend the respected old minister in front of them?

In order to find out if the two had any connections, Han Zhan said respectfully: "Taiwei, let me speak with you."

After the two of them came aside, Han Zhan lowered his voice and asked Yang Biao: "I dare to ask the Grand Marshal Yang Qi, I don't know what is the relationship with the Grand Marshal?"

"He is Yang's cousin." Yang Biao didn't know why Han Zhan suddenly asked Yang Qi. After truthfully explaining the relationship between the two, he asked curiously: "Why did Anyang Hou suddenly ask him?"

When Han Zhan learned that Yang Qi was actually Yang Biao's cousin, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He thought that the two were just kinship and had fewer concerns when dealing with Yang Qi in the future. Unexpectedly, the two were actually cousins, which would offend him. If his subordinates wanted to kill Yang Qi's three tribes, wouldn't even Yang Biao have to get rid of it?

Although he was shocked, on the surface, Han Zhan replied as usual: "Taiwei, this marquis has just recovered Qingzhou and plans to choose a capable minister to guard the marquis. Someone recommended Yang Shizhong to this marquis, saying that he could be competent for the position of Qingzhou Mu. This marquis is not familiar with him, so he asked the marquis about it."

"Marquis of Anyang," Yang Biao said after hearing Han Zhan's words, a confused expression appeared on his face: "But have you already expressed your support to Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou?"

After hearing Yang Biao's question, Han Zhan replied awkwardly after laughing dryly, "I should not know Yang Shizhong, so I temporarily submitted a report to Zang Hong as the acting governor of Qingzhou."

Yang Biao never dreamed that Han Zhan said that he was preparing to let Yang Qi serve as the governor of Qingzhou was just an excuse. His real purpose was to clarify the connection between Yang Biao and Yang Qi.

…………

After going to the palace to meet Emperor Xian of Han. After enjoying the reception banquet, Han Zhan returned to his mansion before dark. After entering the mansion, he did not rush to see his family in the backyard, but summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.

The civil and military officials who went to the war with Han Zhan had long guessed that after the reception banquet ended, Han Zhan would definitely convene a meeting, so he did not drink alcohol at the banquet. However, the civil and military officials who left behind did not know that so many of them were drunk. Even the chief Shi Xun Yu was drowsy when he sat in his seat.

Seeing that everyone was all here, Han Zhan said, "Everyone, I have summoned you here today to discuss important matters."

"Master!" As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Xun Yu stood up and said with a big tongue: "Master has just returned to the capital and has been exhausted all the way. If it weren't for an important matter, it would be better to say it tomorrow."

"Sir, please sit down first and listen to me finish your words." When I was outside the city just now, because there were civil and military officials from the court around me, Han Zhan could not tell Xun Yu and others about some things. At this moment, in front of his mansion, he was all his own people, so he could tell everything.

After Xun Yu took his seat again, Han Zhan continued: "The reason why I summoned you and others to discuss matters after the reception banquet of the emperor was that someone in the court tried to be unfavorable to me."

"What, some people in the court want to be unfavorable to the lord?" Han Zhan's words frightened Zhu Wenwu, who was left behind, and except for Ju Su who knew the inside story, the rest were shocked. Tian Feng stood up and asked tentatively: "Is there any evidence that the lord said, or is it to listen to what others said?"

"What I said in the marquis is of course true evidence. Some ministers in the court secretly colluded with foreign ministers to try to attack the army on their way back; and even some even sent assassins to dig tunnels in the place where the army camped in advance, and after dark, they sneaked into the tent to assassinate this marquis." After Han Zhan said that, he ignored the expressions of the remaining civil and military officials, but turned his head and ordered Robu standing behind him, "Talk the assassin's confession and letters from the prefect Cao to everyone to browse."

Rob agreed, walked out from behind Han Zhan, handed over the letters and confessions that had been prepared long ago to the chief Xun Yu. Xun Yu, who was full of confusion, took the thing, looked through a few glances, and was shocked and said repeatedly: "It's outrageous. These court officials are really too lie..."

After reading Cao Cao's letters and the confessions of the assassin, the civil and military officials who were left behind were shocked and sweated in a cold sweat after reading the conspiracy of the ministers in the court. Zhang He stood up and clasped his fists to Han Zhan and said, "Please order that you are willing to lead troops to arrest all the court officials and hand them over to the lord Ming Zhengdian for punishment."

After reading the letter, Xun Yu was already awakened by the wine. Although he hated the actions of the court officials, when he heard Zhang He ask for an order to capture the court officials who were plotting against Han Zhan behind his back, he quickly stood up and stopped him: "General Ye Yi is a little worried. This matter involves a lot. If you act rashly, it may be a bloody storm. It is better to make a long-term plan and think of a safe solution."

"Shi Shi Xun," Zhang He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he saw Xun Yu stand up to oppose him, and then resolutely said: "Since these court officials have the idea of ​​eradicating their lords, if we don't take action as soon as possible, once they become a climate, they will probably not be so easy to get rid of them."

"General Ye Yi, sit down." Han Zhan and Zhang He finished speaking, and said, "These court officials have no soldiers in their hands. Even if they want to deal with this marquis, they can only rely on external forces. As long as we send people to monitor them closely and prevent them from contacting the outside world, they will become tigers that pull out their teeth and cannot become climate."
