Chapter 487: Stabilizing the DPRK (Part 2)

"Duke," Guo Jia and Zhang He retreated to his position and said to Ju Su: "During the lord's expedition, you have always been responsible for monitoring the court officials. Tell everyone about which court officials are there, which ones are not good for the lord."

Hearing Guo Jia ticked Ju Su's name, everyone instinctively focused their eyes on him. Ju Su got up and walked to the middle of the room, bowed to Han Zhan who was sitting on it, and said loudly: "Report to the lord, after detailed investigation by his subordinates, there were 39 court officials involved in the conspiracy to murder the lord, and the leader was Yang Qi." Then he read the names of court officials involved in the conspiracy and the positions they held.

"What, is the leader Yang Qi?" Zhu Wenwu, who was originally indignant, showed a shocked expression on his face when he heard Yang Qi's name. If it were someone else, I'm afraid everyone would not have such an expression, but Yang Qi is the subordinate of the Grand Marshal Yang Biao, which makes everyone feel like they are afraid of being afraid of being attacked.

Several officials originally planned to advise Han Zhan after Ju Su told him the mastermind, and asked him to kill these bold and arbitrary court officials. However, after learning that the mastermind was Yang Qi, they became hesitant again.

"Everyone." Seeing that the civil and military officials were silent, Han Zhan couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Tell me, how should I deal with Yang Qi and others?"

It was silence again.

After a long time, Xun Yu came to the middle of the house and bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Lord, this matter is of great importance. In order not to cause turmoil, we need to make a long-term plan."

"What the Chief Secretary said is very true." As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Tian Feng stood up and agreed: "The imperial court has just moved, and the people in the capital are unstable. If they rashly deal with so many court officials, it may cause new turmoil."

"Sir, Mr. Tian's words are bad." Huang Zhong, who had always remained silent, stood up and said in a raised voice: "They not only sent people to assassinate the lord, but also colluded with the prefects outside, hoping to be unfavorable to the lord. If we let it go, it will sooner or later cause great trouble."

Huang Zhong's words immediately aroused the response of the generals. Everyone expressed that they should make a quick decision and eliminate all the court officials who did not know how to live or die. Otherwise, in time, they would be a big problem.

Except for asking Ju Su, Guo Jia kept silent the rest of the time. Seeing that the civil and military sides were arguing, he did not turn to either side, but looked at Han Zhan and asked, "I don't know what the lord plans to deal with this matter."

As soon as Han Zhan stood up, the whole hall became quiet again. After scanning the crowd, he spoke, "Mr. Changshi Hotan is right. The court has just moved, and the people in the capital are unstable. If they are to eradicate dissidents at this moment, they will inevitably cause new turmoil and will be very unfavorable to our Jizhou."

Seeing that Han Zhan's tone was obviously biased towards civil officials, the military generals could not sit still, Huang Zhong was about to make another statement when he heard Han Zhan continue to say: "But Han Sheng and others have made sense. If you let these court officials do whatever they want, it will sooner or later become a big trouble for us."

After saying this, Han Zhan paused for a moment and turned his head to ask Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Qingzhou Xinding is not long before, and there are many vacancies in various prefectures and county magistrates. Why not just suggest to Your Majesty that officials from the court should be sent to serve."

"Lord, this is not appropriate." Huang Zhong, as the deputy commander of the army to fight against Qingzhou, knew very well about the situation in Qingzhou. It had just been pacified and the people were determined. If the court officials who were enemies of Han Zhan came, there would be more trouble. He hurriedly spoke to dissuade him and said, "If those court officials were asked to go to Qingzhou and serve as prefect and county magistrate, they would be worried that Qingzhou would fall into their control over the long period of time."

"Hansheng, don't worry." Han Zhan waved at him after Huang Zhong finished speaking, and said, "After splitting these court officials, I sent them to Qingzhou as prefect and county magistrate, so that they could not continue to join the group. At the same time, I sent someone to monitor and cut off their connections with each other. In time, these court officials would be unable to make a move alone, and they would not be able to become a climate. What to do with them at that time is not the only thing I said."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, the civil and military officials were stunned at first, and then Guo Jia took the lead and said, "The lord's plan is very wonderful. Even if you drive these court officials out of the capital, you will not be able to make the population a reality. Very wonderful, very wonderful!"

Just as everyone unanimously said, Tian Feng said inappropriately: "The lord's plan is indeed good, but will the emperor agree to send so many court officials to Qingzhou to serve?"

"Yuan Hao doesn't have to worry," Guo Jia called Tian Feng's words and said to him: "The emperor has always been obedient to the lord. If he learned that so many important officials could be drawn from the court and went to the newly recovered Qingzhou stable court, he would not have time to oppose it."

After discussing some details, Han Zhan saw that it was getting late, so he waved to everyone and said, "It's getting late, so you all go back and rest. Wait until tomorrow morning, and then I will advise Your Majesty and let these famous court officials on the list rush to Qingzhou as soon as possible to take up their posts. Please stay, and I will have something to say."

Ju Su waited for the rest of the civil and military officials to leave, and then asked Han Zhan respectfully: "Lord, I wonder what you have to give?"

"Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, where is now?" Han Zhan asked simply.

"Return to the words of the lord," Ju Su quickly replied: "After the lord entered the city, his subordinates had ordered people to release Liu Xuande from the prison and place him in a mansion in the east of the city. In order to prevent him from escaping, his subordinates deployed no less than fifty secret sentries in the nearby shops, and there were two patrol teams of hundreds of people around him. Once the secret sentry found that Liu Xuande was about to escape, he would immediately issue a lucky sign, and the nearby patrol teams and secret sentries could go over to capture Liu Bei..."

Han Zhan did not express any comments on Ju Su's arrangements, but continued to ask: "Have Guan Yu, did Zhang Fei meet Liu Bei?"

"Yes, the three brothers have met in the mansion." Ju Su reported to Han Zhan: "After meeting, the three of them hugged their heads and cried, and then went to the flower hall to talk. The secret whistle sent by their subordinates could not be approached, and they didn't know what they all said."

"Removal of all the secret whistles around Liu Bei's mansion." After Han Zhan and Ju Su finished speaking, they ordered him: "Liu Bei is now a toothless tiger. He has no soldiers and power. Even if he wants to make trouble, he can't make any big waves."

"But Liu Bei's two brothers are both people with outstanding martial arts skills. If they are used by others, I'm afraid..."

Before Ju Su finished speaking, Han Zhan interrupted his words: "Donald, I understand what you mean. However, when I was conquering Qingzhou, I promised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that as long as they devote themselves to serving me, they would reunite with Liu Bei after returning to Yedu. As for their future stay and stay, let them go. Duke, don't fall into this martyr's unkindness and unrighteous situation, do you understand?"
