Chapter 676 The game between the central and local governments

The next day, Liu Qi summoned a person at the newly established animal husbandry office in Chengdu. This person was Liu Yan's second son Liu Dan.

As the second son of Liu Yan, Liu Dan was once one of Liu Zhang's powerful heirs to inherit Yizhou, but in the end neither he nor Liu Fan could fight against Liu Zhang.

Liu Fan was assassinated by Liu Zhang and Liu Dan fled to Jianwei County alone to join Ren Qi.

Now that the center of Shu has been pacified, Ren Qi has died, and Jianwei County has become a land without an owner.

After Liu Qi occupied Chengdu, he sent Gan Ning to lead troops to recover the counties of Shu County and Guanghan County, and at the same time sent Yan Yan to recover the counties of Ba County, and sent Zhang Ren south to recover the counties under the jurisdiction of Qianwei County.

Because Jia Long and Ren Qi were dead, and Liu Zhang had surrendered, almost every county where Liu Qi took over Shu's three armies surrendered.

Zhang Ren went all the way south and made a big circle around Jianwei County. All counties surrendered. He also brought a person from Jianwei County back to Chengdu for Liu Qi.

This person was Liu Dan who had taken refuge under Ren Qi.

And this person also came to Shuzhong from Luoyang.

I thought that after leaving Luoyang and coming to Shuzhong, my life trajectory would undergo earth-shaking changes. Unfortunately, things turned out to be the opposite, and the situation became worse and worse.

When Liu Dan was in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo did not kill him. After coming to Yizhou, not only did he have to witness his younger brother killing his older brother, he was also chased by his own brother, who ended up fleeing in embarrassment.

After meeting Liu Dan, Liu Qi's first words were: "You have to know that I can't keep you in Yizhou because you are Liu Junlang's son."

Liu Dan fell silent upon hearing this.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay in Yizhou and serve under Liu Qi. After all, his father and younger brother had just finished fighting Liu Qi.

He is an unstable factor for him.

Liu Qi continued: "Back then, Liu Junlang made illegal carriages and attempted to proclaim himself emperor. The imperial court did not deprive you of your official position, and after Liu Junlang's death, you were returned to Shu for mourning. It is true that the imperial court had some selfish motives, but it can be said that it was not

If you are not classified as a rebellious person, I will send someone to send you back to Luoyang. As for how the emperor and the Taifu will deal with you after you arrive at the court... it is beyond my control."

Liu Dan knew that the court did not kill him when he labeled Liu Yan as a traitor. Now that he has returned to Luoyang, the court still will not kill him.

No matter what, this is a good thing, it is safer than staying in Yizhou by myself.

At that moment, Liu Dan bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Thank you, General."

"By the way, your brother Liu Zhang will also go back with you this time." Liu Qi suddenly spoke to Liu Dan.

When Liu Dan heard this, his whole body trembled.

Liu Zhang?

This beast is not dead yet!

Liu Dan's body began to tremble faintly, his teeth chattered, and the hatred and anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger unknowingly.

Obviously, Liu Fan's death and his own escape have become a hurdle in his heart that he cannot let go of.

Liu Qi said nothing, but quietly observed Liu Dan.

"May I ask the general, why did you not kill Liu Zhang but send him back to Luoyang?" After a long time, Liu Dan's mood calmed down a little, and he suddenly spoke to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi shook his head and said seriously: "Liu, as a Han minister, was ordered to come to supervise Yizhou. As for how Liu Zhang should be dealt with, the court must make the decision. As a minister, I cannot overstep my bounds... just like how I treat you.

, and so do I. After all, we are all ministers of the emperor, and only the emperor can have the final say about our destiny and ending."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me, general." Liu Dan bowed to Liu Qi before saying goodbye and leaving.

After Liu Dan left, Liu Qi immediately sent someone to find Li Zheng.

"Liu Dan and Liu Zhang are going to Luoyang this time, and you have to personally escort them to Luoyang... Remember, Liu Dan hates Liu Zhang deeply, so you have to send people to keep an eye on them along the way to prevent them from running away.

We must not let Liu Dan and Liu Zhang come into contact to avoid accidental injury... We must let the two brothers arrive at Luoyang safely."

Li Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Zheng will do his best to live up to your trust."

"Wang Yun won't do anything to Liu Dan. After all, when Liu Yan was designated as a rebel, he was still an official in the court. It is impossible for him to investigate at this time... As I expected, it's good.

After Liu Dan goes to Luoyang, he will definitely try his best to appeal and ask for your order to let Liu Zhang die... You must have a good relationship with Liu Dan along the way, and when you get to Luoyang, you can legitimately help him find a way out."

Li Zheng was a little hesitant when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this."

"how?"

"The junior official is just a clerk with a low official rank. Moreover, such a major event as dealing with Liu Zhang must be done by Wang Yun. Even if the junior official arrives in Luoyang, I'm afraid he won't be able to break Wang Yun's door."

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this: "Li Shi, after all, you are one of the earliest people with me after I arrived in Jingzhou. Why are you still so unimproved after so many years? Although Wang Yun is a man of words in the country, but

The emperor is the head of the Han Dynasty, and even if Wang Yun has exclusive power, if the emperor speaks in the court, Wang Yun will have to think twice."

Li Zheng showed a bitter look on his face: "With the identity and status of a low-ranking official, it is difficult to meet Wang Yun, let alone open the palace door to see His Majesty... Besides, even if you meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty may not listen to the truth.

It belongs to an official."

Liu Qi sighed and shook his head helplessly.

If it weren't for the current shortage of people to govern Yizhou, he wouldn't be able to leave this matter to Li Zheng.

If Fa Zheng, Yi Ji, Liu Ye and others had gone there, he would not have had so many problems, and Liu Qi would not need to teach him step by step.

But Li Zheng still has no problem with his loyalty, and he has seen the world. Although he is not that smart, he can rest assured that he will go to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi stretched out his hand and invited Li Zheng to sit across from his desk.

"Brother Li, you and I have known each other for many years. Ever since Liu rode into Jingzhou alone, we have not known each other even if we didn't fight. Today I will make it clear to you... Although you are only my assistant, but

When you enter the capital, no one dares to treat you poorly, because in addition to your position as a governor, you also have an identity, that is, the envoy of General Zhenxi across the two states. Nowadays, everything that happens in the southern border of the Han Dynasty is closely related to me.

And if you go this time, I will ask you to pay tribute to the emperor on my behalf to pay tribute to the rare treasures from the southern border. The emperor will also see you out of favor for me, so you can act accordingly."

Only then did Li Zheng realize something.

He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "The lowly officials should do their best."

"In addition, Wang Yun will definitely not advocate killing Liu Zhang, but if you want to move the emperor, you don't have to rely solely on Wang Yun. You can also contact other powerful figures in the court."

"Other powerful figures in the DPRK? Who are they?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "General Lu Bu, now most of the military power to defend Luoyang is in the hands of this person. Although he is from a border county in Bingzhou, he still has the right to speak in the court... After all, judging from the current situation,

In the middle of the court, Wang Yun is in charge of the interior, while Lu Bu is in charge of the exterior."

"It's just that Lu Bu and I don't know each other. How can he help me?"

Liu Qi had a headache after hearing this.

When I met Li Zheng back then, why was his cleverness gone? Has it been with him in recent years?

"Actually, it's not that difficult to build a bridge with Lu Bu...wealth, treasures, famous weapons, armor and weapons... are all possible."

Li Zheng suddenly realized: "I understand."

"In this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go to Luoyang alone. I will ask Yang Song to be your deputy envoy, so that you can take care of everything... You are in the light and Yang Song is in the dark. You are at risk of bribing Lu Bu.

You can leave it to Yang Song."
