Chapter 493 Han Zhan tells a story (2)
After Ju Su entered the door, he bowed to Han Zhan, then quickly came to the table, put the information he had sorted up, and said, "This is the remarks of the officials sent by his subordinates. Please check it out."
After reading the materials handed over by Ju Su in one look, Han Zhan put them on the table, looked at Ju Su and said, "Young Master, these people were kicked out of the capital after being demoted, and some complaints are inevitable. Apart from that, is there anything else?"
Hearing Han Zhan say this, Ju Su's face showed a surprised expression. He asked in confusion: "Does the lord really plan to let them go like this? You know, these officials are only a few hundred people, including their families and servants. As long as they send a battalion of cavalry, they will be enough to catch them all in one place."
"Yes, as long as a battalion of cavalry is sent, it is enough to kill all the officials who offended this marquis." Han Zhan asked back: "But kill them all, who should be the prefects and county magistrates in Qingzhou?"
"There are many people in the world who want to be officials. As long as the lord reveals a little bit of news, I think those who seek officials will surround the provincial and ministerial palaces." Ju Su said disapprovingly: "When the lord grants them official positions, these people will be grateful to you, and we will be able to operate Qingzhou as an iron barrel."
In terms of heart, what Ju Su said is very reasonable. If these demoted court officials go to Qingzhou to serve as prefects or county magistrates, they will definitely make a lot of small moves below, and even instigate local people to oppose Han Zhan. But if a group of officials promoted by Han Zhan will be replaced by Qingzhou, they will definitely do their best to do their part.
Han Zhan never thought so, but the reason why he decided to let these court officials go was that he did not want to ruin his reputation because of this. You must know that once his reputation was destroyed, even if the power was in power, there would be no capable people coming to surrender to him. Once these celebrities defect to their opponents, they would sooner or later become a big trouble.
However, Ju Su's idea was also a kind of good intention. If he was so disappointed that he would not be as concerned about himself in the future. Han Zhan picked up the materials on the table, looked through them again, took out a copy of them, looked at Ju Su and said, "Please, this new Penglai Ling, seems to have a second thought for Yang Qi, we can do something about him."
Originally, Ju Su felt a little disappointed when he heard Han Zhan denying his proposal. At this moment, he suddenly had a bright look when he heard Han Zhan say this, and he quickly asked, "Lord, how are you planning to do something?"
Han Zhan, who had seen the Three Kingdoms, decided to use Cao Mengde's strategy to disagree with Ma Chao and Han Sui to deal with Yang Qi and Penglai Ling. He pointed at Ju Shu with his hand and said to him: "Your Mahjong can write a book, just Penglai Ling, tell him the old things in the capital, and the words in the middle are hazy, and then plaster them with Penglai Ling, deliberately making Yang Qi know it. After Yang Qi learned about it, he would ask for a letter to read it. If he saw the important places above, he would just smear it, and he would just guess that Penglai Ling was afraid that he would know some secret matters and would smear it by himself. In this way, the two would have a grudge. In the future, the two would naturally turn against each other. Maybe they would kill each other without waiting for this marquis to take action."
After hearing Han Zhan's plan, Ju Su was stunned at first, but then he figured out the key point and slapped: "The lord's plan is really wonderful. It will definitely make Yang Qi and Penglai Ling rebel. Su went back to compile the book and sent someone to send him to Penglai Ling overnight."
After Ju Su left, Han Zhan looked down at the outline of the story he wrote in front of him. Suddenly, he felt that he wanted to finish the story of Journey to the West. He might not be able to do it within a month or two, so he picked up the pen and wiped it off. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he felt that modifying the story of the female princess might be even more popular with Han Yan and others.
Thinking of this, Han Zhan kneaded the paper on the table into a ball, threw it on the ground, took another piece of paper, and wrote the story of the female princess who he remembered one by one on the paper. Of course, he still modified the content that was not suitable for this dynasty. For example, when Feng Suzhen went to participate in the imperial examination in order to save Li Zhaoting, he changed to be a filial and honest person and then went to Beijing to become an official. When he met a princess who threw a ball, he was recruited as a princess.
Han Zhan changed this way, and seemed to feel that there were many unreasonable aspects of this story. He lifted his pen and wanted to erase the story and write a new story again. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone coughing heavily behind him, which scared him and shivered.
Before he could turn around, he heard Han Yan's laughter coming from behind. He must have been amused by Han Zhan's reaction. Han Zhan was about to turn around and blame Han Yan, but he heard Cai Yan's familiar voice: "Don't be naughty, you scared your brother."
"You are here!" In front of Cai Yan, Han Zhan was really not able to lose his temper at Han Yan, so he turned around and grinned, and said, "I am planning to go to the backyard to find you."
"Brother, what are you writing?" Han Yan saw the piece of paper that Han Zhan placed on the table at a glance, and reached out and picked it up. Because he was too fast, Han Zhan couldn't stop him.
Han Yan glanced at the title, with a strange expression on her face. She whispered, "Female Prince Consort?" Then she turned her head and asked Cai Yan beside her, "Sister Zhaoji, have you ever heard of a woman being a prince consort?"
"No, I've never heard of it." Cai Yan looked at Han Zhan with a smile and said to Han Yan: "I think this should be the story that your elder brother just made up and is about to tell us."
"That's right, right." Han Zhan heard Cai Yan talking to him and quickly echoed: "I'm writing an interesting story, and I'm going to tell you later."
When he learned that it was indeed a story made by Han Zhan, Han Yan grabbed Han Zhan by the arm and said impatiently: "Brother, since your story has been made up, then go to the backyard to tell us quickly. You don't know that we stay in the backyard every day and can't go anywhere, and people are almost suffocated."
When Han Zhan heard Han Yan say this, he thought to himself: Should I launch the Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Yue Opera in advance. With these operas, not only Cai Yan, but also Han Yan and others can relieve their boredom. From Emperor Xian of Han to the civil and military officials of the court, to the people in the capital, there is also something to entertain. As everyone has rich business life, no one will always think about dealing with them.
