The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 425 Cake Painter Lin Zichu

A person with the ambition to die must lose all hope and lose his energy for everything in the outside world, let alone food and drink.

Furthermore, seeking death has always been an emotion, and it will only take effect at a certain appropriate time.

For example, last year at Daluze, Shenpei and Jushou were defeated by Lin Chao and fell into a tight siege. With the support of the surrounding soldiers who died in battle, the atmosphere reached a delicate state. Life mandarin duck.

If Lin Chao had agreed to them at that time, they would have turned into two corpses on the spot with just a wave of their swords.

But if after that scene, the two of them had other thoughts in their minds, they might not choose to die.

From the looks of it right now, Pound should be waiting for an opportunity, or a step down.

On that day, Ma Teng and his son were defeated by Zhao Yun's attack. In order to escape, Ma Teng ordered Pound to cut off his heir.

Pound wanted to fight to the death, but unfortunately, under the siege of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, he was just like Xu Huang back then. He didn't even have a chance to die in battle and was directly captured alive.

Lin Chao thought for a while, then said to Liu Shi: "Liu Shi, go and bring Pang Lingming out, I have something to ask him."

"only!"

Liu Shi clasped his fists in response, then turned around and left.

After a while, Liu Shi brought a man who looked 23 or [-] years old.

This person is eight feet long, with a face like a jujube, and his eyes are round and round. Coupled with his square face, it gives people a very firm feeling.

This was the first time Lin Chao saw Pang De, but it was similar to what he had imagined, he looked like a strong man.

When Lin Chao looked him up and down, Pang De also looked at Lin Chao.Seeing Lin Chao sitting down alone, with Tai Shici, Lu Qian and others standing beside him, Pound seemed to be thinking.

"Supervisor, bring Pang Lingming here!" Liu Shi cupped his fists and said.

Lin Chao nodded, stood up, waved Pang De's sleeves and said, "General Pang, would you like to come and have a drink together?"

When Liu Shi went to bring Pound, the soldiers under Lin Chao ordered a pot of wine and poured two bowls, one in front of Lin Chao and the other opposite.

Frankly speaking, Lin Chao still likes a general like Pound who has outstanding ability and can be loyal to the death festival.If it was a year or two ago, Lin Chao would definitely welcome Pang De out in person.

But now, the courtesy that Pound can enjoy is only that.

Because there are too many capable people in Xuzhou now!
This is not to say that Lin Chao is snobbish, but that after being in a high position, sometimes he can't help himself.

You, Lin Zichu, tried your best to solicit Corporal Pang Delixian today, which is of course possible.Because of your face, no one dares to say anything.

But this is not a good thing for Pound.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Lu Qian and Tai Shici who are beside Lin Chao at this time, one of them was attached by himself, and the other was ordered by Kong Rong to defect to Liu Bei. Lin Chao did not treat them with such courtesy .

You Pound, a defeated general, got the treatment they didn't get, which will undoubtedly hurt their self-esteem.Although both of them are upright people and would not wear small shoes for Pound, it is inevitable to alienate Pound.

In this way, even if Pang De is willing to surrender, it will be difficult to integrate into the Xuzhou Group in a short time.

This was not what Lin Chao wanted to see, so even if Pang De was unwilling to surrender, Lin Chao could not show the patience he had when recruiting Tian Feng back then.

After attaining a high position, Lin Chao's courtesy has become a kind of reward, even in the eyes of some people, it is more important than gold and silver rewards.

Pang De looked at Lin Chao who was sitting in the gazebo with a faint smile on his face, then raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Who do you dare to ask?"

It was said that when Lin Chao was about to speak, Tai Shici suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Pang Lingming, what you are seeing in front of you is the current Xuzhou governor, the great scholar Zheng Kangcheng..."

"Okay, okay, we're all our own people, so we don't need to play around with such nonsense."

Seeing that Tai Shici was about to repeat the old trick, Lin Chao quickly waved his hand to stop him, then stood up, cupped his hands at Pang De and said, "I saw General Pang at the beginning of Lin Zichu in Lower Zhongshan!"

"You are Lin Zichu!"

Pound lost his voice, his face was full of shock.

Last year, Lin Chao was appointed by Yuan Shu as the military division of the 20 Kwantung Allied Army. Of course he had heard of Pang De.It's just that Pang De was under Ma Teng's command at that time, and his official position was a little lower. Naturally, he was not qualified to enter the big account for discussion, so he didn't see Lin Chao with his own eyes.

After Pang De was captured, he wanted to commit suicide for a while, but before he could act, Zhao Yun came to surrender.Pang De immediately refused, but Zhao Yun did not give up and came to surrender for several days.

After all, on the battlefield at that time, Pound fought Zhao Yun alone, and he did not lose the wind for more than a hundred rounds. Zhao Yun was deeply impressed, and at the same time, he also loved talents in his heart.Although Pang De still didn't agree, he was quite moved in his heart.

Unexpectedly, today, a person who is more important than Zhao Yun actually came.

Lin Chao invited Pang De to sit down again, and this time Pang De agreed.After Pound was seated, Lin Chao raised his wine bowl and toasted Pound, both of them drank it down in one gulp.

"General Pang, don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. A certain person came here this time and wanted to recruit the general. I don't know if the general is willing to serve my lord!"

Right now, I'm Daozu, and Pound is the fish, so it's better to say some things at once.Besides, for a general like Pound, there is no need to play those twists and turns.

Hearing this, Pang De put down his wine bowl, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Chang Shi, for your kindness, but a certain person has been treated favorably by General Ma, so he doesn't dare to rebel."

"General Pang's words, I'm sorry that I don't agree with you." Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, "General Pang said that he was greatly favored by his Ma Shoucheng, but I wanted to ask the general.

Who owns the world today?General Pang fought on the battlefield, and for whom did he die? "

"This……"

When Pang De heard this, Fang frowned suddenly, speechless.

Lin Chao stood up, waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice: "General Pang doesn't want to say it, so someone will come and say it for General Pang. Fang is under today, it is the world of the Han family, it is the world of the Son of Heaven!

What General Pang received was not his kindness from Ma Shoucheng, but the kindness of the country, the kindness of the Son of Heaven!

Or is General Pang unwilling to be a Hanchen? "

This hat is too big, not to mention Pound, even his old master Ma Teng, and even Ma Teng's master Yuan Shu can't bear it!

I saw Pang De hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Marquis Lin was just joking, Pound is naturally Han Chen!"

Seeing Pang De hastily defending himself, Lin Chao smiled.

This is the step he left for Pound.

You said that you dare not be an unfaithful and unjust person, but I want to say that everyone is a loyal minister of the great man.

This is an irrefutable reason, at least no one dares to say that he is not Hanchen.

Liu Bei will send troops to fight anyone who dares!

Lin Chao waved his hand, motioned for Pound to sit down, ordered the soldiers to fill him a bowl, and continued to smile: "General Pang, since you and I are both Hanchens, then there are two things in my heart, I don't know if they should be appropriate or not. speak."

"Please speak, Marquis Lin!"

Pound was much more polite this time, as if listening respectfully to his teachings.

"Someone thought that when people go to high places, water flows to low places."

Lin Chao raised his head, felt the spring breeze blowing on his face, let him comb his long hair, and said slowly: "With General Pang's talent, how can he fully display it under the command of General Shoucheng? Not to mention Ma Shoucheng, even if It is Yuan Gonglu, the current great general, who is much inferior to our Lord Liu Taiwei."

These words made Pound nod repeatedly.

He had a deep understanding of the horror of Zhao Yun's [-] elite cavalry that day.

How could there be such a terrifying army in the world!

Seeing that Pang De seemed to be moving, Lin Chao continued to intensify his efforts to confuse him: "General Pang was born in the border area of ​​Liangzhou. Restore the ambition of the Western Regions?
Don't you want to imitate the champion Hou Fenglangjuxu, beat the Huns to subjugate the country and exterminate their species, and exalt my great Han's national prestige?

In the past, Emperor Guangwu put down Wang Mang's rebellion and painted portraits of 28 people in Yuntai Pavilion, so that future generations will remember their contributions.With General Pang's bravery, wouldn't he want to leave his name in history and his portrait on Yuntai? "

This last sentence is actually quite informative.

Lin Chao first asked about Pound's ambitions, and then mentioned the history of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, vaguely comparing Liu Bei to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Since Liu Bei has such great ambitions, you Pang De followed all the way, and in the end you may not be able to go down in history like the 28 generals of Yuntai.

Everyone knows that Liu Bei doesn't look at his family background, but only at his ability, which adds a bit of credibility to Lin Chao's words.

When these words came out, Pound was really tempted.

In this era of extremely fanatical heroic history, anyone with some ability does not have a dream of leaving a name in history.

However, Pound still had one last scruple in his heart, which caused him to hesitate.

The master planner Lin Zichu certainly saw Pang De's embarrassment, so he said, "If General Pang is interested, I can go to the emperor and give the general the head of a county, how about it?"

Of course, the county magistrate is not a big official, but if the emperor issued an edict to appoint Pang De as the county magistrate, and this county happened to be in Xuzhou, things would be interesting.

This means that Pang De did not take the initiative to betray Ma Teng, but entered Xuzhou under the order of the emperor. This is a matter of course, and no one can fault it.

After Lin Chao finished speaking, he looked at Pang De with a smile on his face, waiting for his reply.

The cake has been painted, and I have given you face, if you don't agree, you will be a little unreliable.

Looking at Pound again, Lin Chao's last words finally reassured him completely, and he immediately bowed his head and bowed: "The long history is above, and the last general is willing to go through fire and water for Duke Xuande!"

"General Pang, hurry up!"

Lin Chao hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Well, the candidate for the new school office, Fucheng, is ready.

……

A large number of people gathered beside the notice in front of the city gate.

When the Lin Dynasty first made the Xuzhou decree, there were strict rules that no one should obstruct the smooth flow of the decree, and those who violated it would be beheaded!
This is a rule without any sentimentality. No matter who it is or what position it holds, anyone who dares to obstruct the government's access to the bottom will be beheaded!
Not only that, the Lin Dynasty also imitated the old wisdom of Shang Yang in the past, and set up many judicial offices throughout Xuzhou, each with one or two literate scribes, with the purpose of explaining every new decree to the common people.

In this way, it is possible to prevent troublemakers from misinterpreting the government's decrees, thereby causing unnecessary turmoil in the hearts of the people.

Furthermore, if the people know the law and understand the law, the officials will not dare to intervene.

Other decrees can be unblocked, slowed down, or even postponed.

But only this one, Lin Chao invited Liu Bei's saber at that time, and enforced it forcefully with the attitude of a dictator.

This is the foundation of popular support and cannot be discounted at all!
Lin Chao wanted to let all the people in Xuzhou know who is the one who really treats them well.

In this way, Liu Bei's prestige in Xuzhou will become higher and higher.

If the people of this generation are only grateful to Liu Bei in their hearts, then their next generation will be the beneficiaries and defenders of the New Deal, and even Liu Bei's loyal supporters!
At that time, Liu Bei's personal prestige will reach an unprecedented level.

As long as he ascends to the top and shouts, the people under his rule will follow one after another, and he can pull up a team of millions of people in an instant!
In this way, Xuzhou will remain invincible!

Today, the reason why so many civilians gather next to the notice at the gate of the city is because today is the day when the honor roll is announced.

The Chen brothers and sisters were also in the crowd, looking nervously at the upcoming list.

Ever since she heard Lin Xi say that Lin Chao was punished by Cui Yan because of her, Chen felt guilty and couldn't sleep at night. In time for today's announcement, she brought her younger brother to watch it early in the morning.

Seeing that his sister was worried, Chen Dao comforted him: "Sister, don't worry, Brother Lin is a governor, the government should be lenient, so that Brother Lin won't be disgraced!"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, her beautiful eyes were full of worry: "Because of Lin Shixiong's high position and power, he should be an example for all officials in Xuzhou. Besides, Lin Shixiong and even a sincere gentleman will never bend the law for personal gain."

"But Brother Lin is not to blame for this matter. He was not at home last year. How can it be said that he broke the law!"

Chen said with a wry smile: "Brother Lin has won the trust of Xuande, he is humble and respectful, and the law is just and strict. It is inevitable that people will hold grudges. Hmph, Cui Jigui, who is in the middle of the government, is actually clinging to this trivial matter, and doesn't think of his fellow disciples at all. Zhiyi is really shameless!"

"Sister is right, Cui Jigui is not worthy to be in the same family as Lin Shixiong!"

Chen Dao clenched his fists tightly and echoed.

While the siblings were talking, the honor roll on the notice had already been released.

The one at the top of the list is none other than Lin Chao's portrait!
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd!
"Isn't that Lin Changshi!"

"Yes, Lin Changshi loves the people like a son, why is he on the list!"

"The government must have made a mistake. I heard that our Xuzhou New Policy was formulated by Lin Changshi. How could he break the law?"

……

Seeing that there were endless discussions, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order had to shout a few times before controlling the scene.

The scribe appeared on the stage, pointed to the portrait of Lin Chao at the top of the list, and said loudly to everyone: "Today, there is Shi Lin Zichu, the governor of Xuzhou, and his servants relied on his power and did not hand in the tax according to law. After review by the government, he was sentenced to ten times the fine. Fu, I hereby declare that I hope the officials and people of Xuzhou will take it as a warning!"

As soon as this remark came out, the people below were all silent.

The witnesses and material evidence are all available, so naturally there is nothing to refute.

If a domestic servant breaks the law, the master will naturally be held accountable. There is nothing to say about this.But precisely because he was a domestic servant who broke the law, Lin Chao's prestige did not decrease in the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. Instead, he used Lin Chao's identity to escort the New Deal.

only……

After listening to the clerk's words, Mrs. Chen in the crowd turned pale and became ill.

Because of me, Lin Shixiong's reputation has been discredited. How can I have the face to meet him in the future?

Chen Dao, who was beside him, also lowered his head in silence, and at the same time blushed with embarrassment.

"Sister, this matter..."

"Don't say anything, let's go home." Chen said quietly.
