Han Shimou

A few days later, Wende Hall in Luoyang.

Emperor Han Ling, who was dressed in a dragon robe, seemed to have a dark complexion, and the sound of Zhang Rang's announcement in his ear was particularly harsh.

Wang Yue hadn't contacted him for several months. Emperor Han Ling knew Wang Yue's temperament well. Although he was a peerless hero, he would not leave his post without saying a word.

Something must have happened to Wang Yue.One month after Wang Yue lost contact with Han Lingdi, Han Lingdi reacted immediately.

After losing Wang Yue, Han Lingdi knew that he had no one to trust in the palace except Wang Yue.It was difficult for him to even send soldiers to look for Wang Yue.

Palace guards?Emperor Ling of Han knew very well that there were many Xiao Zhang Rang's eyeliners in these imperial guards.The disappearance of Wang Yue, Han Lingdi had a particularly strong feeling that this matter had something to do with Zhang Rang.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Han Lingdi to send the guards in the palace to look for it.

The disappearance of Wang Yue means that the "eyes" that Emperor Han Ling had acquired so hard are gone, and he became a blind emperor again.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to report. Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

Emperor Han Ling was still thinking about how to find Wang Yue, but he didn't see that Zhang Rang was already kneeling under the hall.

"Oh, father. If you have anything to play, just say it. I'm listening."

Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still called Zhang Rang his father, the two had a gap for a long time, and once there was a gap between people, it would be difficult to repair.Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no emotion in his father's yelling all his life, and was very impatient with Zhang Rang's tone of voice.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is not in good shape? If that's the case, it's better for your Majesty to withdraw from the imperial court first. After the dragon's body recovers its energy, he will then go to court to manage the great treasures of the country."

"No. I'm fine. There's no need to worry, father. Say it."

When Zhang Rang mentioned the four characters of poor dragon body, Han Lingdi's eyes suddenly shone brightly. Han Lingdi squinted his eyes, his eyes were like knives, sitting on the dragon chair condescendingly, and said coldly.

"That's it. The old slave played. I heard that the newly appointed governors of Hedong, Wen Han and Wen Bufan, did not build anything after becoming the governors of Hedong. , and competed with the local wealthy Wei family in Anyi for a woman.

Since he took office, he has never taken the initiative to send troops to wipe out the rebellion around Hedong, forgetting that he has the emperor's mandate.The old slave felt that Wen Han was not worthy to be the Governor of Hedong. "

"What Mr. Zhang said is true, and I have heard a lot of rumors about Wen Bufan neglecting political affairs and only caring about having fun. Hedong is the lifeline, and if he takes care of it, it is afraid that Hedong will only become more and more chaotic. The minister also feels that Wen Bufan is not worthy to be the guard of Hedong."

"That's right. The ministers also agree that Wen Bufan's ability is too shallow to be up to this great task. I implore the holy decree to transfer this person away from Hedong."

As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, many ministers came out one after another to impeach Wen Han together.Emperor Han Ling's frown became deeper and deeper, and his eyes at Zhang Rang became colder and colder.

Well, this old dog not only attacked my great swordsman, but now he even wants to get rid of the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan whom I personally appointed.This Wen Bufan has been slandered by you many times, do you really think that I am blind without Queen Wang Yue, and I will obey you like in the past! ?

Emperor Han Ling suddenly became short of breath, his face was raging with anger, and he slammed the dragon chair, which shocked all the ministers who impeached Wen Han in the hall, and their hearts jumped.

"There is no evidence for what you say, you guys, do you have evidence?"

"In front of the Holy Majesty, the old slave dare not do anything wrong. Of course, he has enough evidence to dare to sue the Holy Majesty. These are letters sent to the old slave by the aristocratic families from all over the river. They all contain a lot of evil deeds. .”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have also received letters about Wen Bufan's evil deeds."

Zhang Rang cast a glance at Zhao Zhong, who was beside Han Lingdi, and Zhao Zhong understood it, so he wanted to go down and put the letters away, and then hand them to Han Lingdi to read.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Ling had no intention of watching at all, waved his dragon sleeves, and shouted Ling Ran.

"That's enough. Don't I know whether these letters are genuine or not? There is no need to send them!"

"My lord, this!"

"Shut up! According to my order, I will give Wen Han, the prefect of Hedong half a year, if he still can't clear up the rebellion in Hedong within half a year, let him come and see him!

So, are you satisfied? "

"The sage calms down. I dare not wait."

"Hmph, I dare not. This matter is over. In the past six months, I don't want to hear the words Wen Bufan from your mouth! Retire!"

Han Lingdi stood up with a cold snort, glanced fiercely at Zhang Rang's body with sharp knife-like eyes, and then walked away from the dragon seat.

Although the current ministers impeaching Wen Han don't know why Han Lingdi was so angry, but their goal has been achieved.Although Wen Han was not stripped of his official position in time, he has now reached a dead end. There are dozens of waves of rebels, large and small, around Hedong.

The number of thieves in each wave is at least a thousand, especially in the Baibo Valley in the Xihe area, there are tens of thousands.And now it's winter, and in March in winter, it is impossible to send troops, which means that half a year is actually only three months.It is simply impossible to wipe out all these thieves within three months.

These ministers were secretly happy underneath, but Zhang Rang's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip from his head.He served the emperors of the three dynasties, and followed the Han Lingdi for decades. This kung fu of observing words and demeanor is considered to be a must.

He just felt that the anger of Emperor Han Ling was all over him.

"Could it be that the ghost Wang Yue came back? Or did the sage know that I sent people to kill Wang Yue? This is impossible. Now the guards in Luoyang City are all my troops. I will inform them early and secretly. When Wang Yue entered the city, he immediately notified me. It is impossible for Wang Yue to return to Luoyang without knowing it.

And the matter of chasing and killing Wang Yue was carried out by Hei Ling, they were the most clean and neat in their work, and they would definitely not leave any evidence behind.Even if they find Hei Niao, the Hei Niao people, once they are captured, they will commit suicide immediately.So it is impossible for the Holy Majesty to know that I sent someone to hunt down Wang Yue.

This is so, why is the Holy Majesty becoming more and more indifferent to me, and more and more bored. "

Zhang Rang was puzzled, but when he stood up and passed the dragon chair, his eyes burst out with a very bright brilliance.

"Liu Hong, Liu Hong. Don't force me. If you and I are as close as father and son as before, I will let your life live longer. However, if you are determined to be at odds with me. Then, I can only kill myself. Earlier, end your career sitting on the dragon chair."

Zhang Rang was pacing, walking step by step, the golden dragon chair had a terrifying magic power, as if it was constantly calling Zhang Rang, sit on it, sit on it.

This is a chair that is enough to make people lose their minds. Zhang Rang swallowed a few deep mouthfuls of saliva, his eyes were straightened, and his mind was so high that it was like hanging a patient with a sheep.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang!!"

Suddenly, Zhao Zhong who didn't know when he came to Zhang Rang's side woke up Zhang Rang with a sluggish face.Zhang Rang also seemed to feel that he was losing his composure, and quickly lowered his head.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing? Don't you know that there are still many ministers in this hall who have not left yet?"

Zhang Rang lowered his head and patted his sleeves.

"Calm down, calm down. The slave family is just a little lost. Brother Zhao, take a look, is anyone looking at me?"

According to Zhang Rang's words, Zhao Zhong looked back and saw the ministers and officials walking out of the hall one after another, the hall has gradually become empty.

"No more. They're all gone."

"Okay. Then, brother Zhao, let's go too. And the minister you saw who saw my gaffe just now, after you go back later, you can tell my brother one by one."

"My lord, what exactly is this letter talking about? Tell me quickly. Has the Holy Majesty stripped Wen Bufan of the title of Governor of Hedong and asked him to get out of Hedong?"

The patriarch of the Zhang family in Mi County couldn't wait, looking at Wang Zhong who was sitting in the front seat and was reading the letter sent back from Luoyang.In addition to the patriarch of the Zhang family in Mi County, the patriarchs of several other wealthy families also looked at Wang Zhong eagerly.Wang Zhong frowned, and his brows stretched out soon enough, revealing an indifferent smile.

"Hehe, Zhang Gong, and brothers, don't worry. The letter said that Wen Bufan is still the governor of Hedong for the time being."

"What! How is it possible! Under the condemnation of many senior officials and ministers, Wen Bufan can still keep the position of the governor of Hedong!? Could it be that he got the protection of a minister!? Or is it that the Holy One is partial and favors him!?"

The head of the Gao clan in Juan County is a giant man eight feet tall with a big voice. When he roared, the ears of the people present immediately buzzed.

"Hehe, Patriarch Gao. Didn't you hear that the old man used the word "temporary" just now? The Holy One has ordered that Wen Bufan be given half a year to clear all the rebellion in Hedong. When the time comes, if he has not fulfilled the emperor's order, His head is about to be handed over to the imperial court."

Wang Zhong said calmly with that unchanging favored and calm smile on his face.As soon as he said this, the surprise and suspicion on the faces of the patriarchs of the wealthy families who were present at the scene suddenly turned into cold smiles.

The patriarch of the Jiang clan in Yanshi was the first to react, his eyes were full of viciousness, and his voice was soft.

"Hmph. Half a year? It's winter now, and in a few days, there will be heavy snow blowing across the river, freezing the ground. In March in winter, it is impossible for Wen Bufan to send troops. In other words, Wen Bufan only has three months To wipe out the rebellion in Hedong is simply an impossible task.

Wen Bufan put his head on his neck, it seemed that he was going to lose it. "

"Haha, so I'll sit back and watch the show, and tolerate his arrogance for another half a year. After half a year, we'll see how he hands over his head to the court."

Next to the chief of the Jiang clan in Yanshi, the chief of the Lantian Chang clan laughed, with a look of joy on his face.His smile immediately made the patriarchs of other wealthy families present laugh heartily.

However, only Wang Zhong, who was sitting in the front seat, put away the indifferent smile on his face.

"What? Seeing you like this, the prince seems to be worried?"

The patriarch of the Li clan in Jixian County had sharp eyes and noticed Wang Zhong's thoughtful expression, so he couldn't help but opened his mouth to ask.

"Well... Don't underestimate this Wen Bufan, gentlemen. Wen Bufan has encountered a lot of hardships all the way from a poor family to today. This person not only has extraordinary talents, but also has great luck. Every time he meets Bad luck turned good.

If so, this time he can really eliminate the rebellion around Hedong within half a year.Then, he can go to jail as the prefect.Moreover, have you ever thought about it.Half a year later, in March, it will be time for harvesting the fields. Once Wen Bufan has a huge amount of food, it will be difficult for us to fight against him.

With food, he can appease the hearts of the people, recruit troops, and expand the army.He has no shortage of elite soldiers under his command. I heard that Xu Huang and Gao Shun both have the ability to train soldiers. With time, they will be able to train the newly formed troops into elite soldiers.With food and a large number of elite soldiers, we and the rich and powerful families in Hedong can only bow our heads in front of him. "

The head of the Jiang clan in Yanshi became more gloomy the more he heard it, and suddenly said with a thought.
