Soldiers come to the world

Zhang Tan's heart jumped suddenly. Yang Tian's words were like a cold arrow, which suddenly hit him in front of his eyes. Such a small person can influence, so he has been silent all the time, but he never expected that Yang Tian would throw out this matter.

When Zhang Tan was in a panic, the door opened, and his wife brought in two cups of tea. Zhang Tan's wife didn't know Yang Tian, ​​and thought he was her husband's colleague. She smiled and said, "Zhang Lang, when the guests leave, bring Jiaozhou local specialties with you." superior."

Yang Tian chuckled, "Thank you Ma'am!"

Seeing that her husband bowed his head and didn't make a sound, Zhang Tan's wife felt a little strange, so she backed away. Yang Tian squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Your Madam is very nice! Remember to give me souvenirs, such a virtuous wife, it is Yang who is in charge of it." Good luck!"

Zhang Tan raised his head, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yang Cheng, just tell me! What do you want me for?"

"happy!"

Yang Tian nodded, and said with a smirk: "I like Zhang Zheng's quick talk, so I'll make it clear that, as Yu Shicheng, I'm going to impeach Zhong Yao for liaising with the Han Dynasty, but I need witnesses, so I hope Zhang Eng Testify."

Zhang Tan's face turned pale, this is what he fears the most, getting involved in worldly disputes, he is just a small person, in this kind of power struggle, he will die a miserable death.

"Don't be nervous. I just want you to answer truthfully. I already have accurate information. I just want someone to testify, not for you to plant a frame. Let's do this! Make a statement first, and then we can discuss how to do it in detail?"

"Yang Cheng, can you find someone else? I really can't." Zhang Tan stammered.

Yang Tian's face immediately sank, and he said coldly: "Zhang Tan, who do you think I am, I will beg you in a low voice? I might as well tell you the truth, you are the one chosen by the world, and I am giving you a chance now. , if you don't know how to flatter, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Yang Tian took out a book and threw it in front of him, "Read it for yourself!"

Zhang Tan picked up the book, and after only turning two pages, his hands trembled violently. That was the only mistake he made. Last year, he secretly accepted the 50 taels of gold given to him by the Xianbei envoy. But it is clearly written, where is it accepted?How much gold was accepted?It's as if someone is watching and recording.

Yang Tian snorted heavily, "If you embezzled 50 taels of gold, you should be executed. I can arrest you tonight. If you die in prison, what will your mother do? What about your two sons? Believe it or not, I will Sell ​​them to the Xianbei people as slaves, and your ancestral home and ancestral land will not belong to you, are you worthy of your ancestors?"

"Stop it! Please stop it!"

Zhang Tan was so frightened that he was trembling all over. He put his head in his hands and begged bitterly. His heart had already collapsed. Yang Tian's eyes flashed with pride. This kind of petty official dared to fight him. At this time, his tone softened again, " I don't want you to testify, as long as you write a mission report truthfully and sign your name, it's like reporting to your boss in writing. Me, you will be fine, when you ascend the throne in the future, you will naturally not forget your loyalty, let you go to another county to be the prefect, your official career will be smooth from now on, and it will be too late for you to thank me."

Yang Tian played hard and soft, and finally made Zhang Tan succumb. He whispered: "Okay! I'll write it, I'll just write it, when will I want it?"

"Write it now, and I'll take it away when I'm done."

Zhang Tan had no choice but to unfold the pen and paper, and wrote down the details of his trip to Jiaozhou with Zhong Yao and then to Han, especially the details of Zhong Yao's contact with Han. After writing for more than half an hour, I finished the report of thousands of words, and then signed and pressed my fingerprints, and handed it to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian stood beside him and watched him finish writing. He read it again and was overjoyed. He put away the confession as if he had found a treasure, and said with a smile: "Wait for the world's reward! I will leave first."

He turned around and left, walked into the courtyard and said with a loud laugh: "Ma'am, I am taking my leave."

Zhang Tan's wife walked out quickly, "Take the local products before leaving."

"I still have something to do today, give it to me next time!"

Yang Tian arched his hands and walked away. Zhang Tan's wife waited for them to go far away, then quickly closed the courtyard door, turned around and complained: "Why have you been talking for so long? What are you talking about?"

Zhang Tan shook his head and sighed, "Don't ask any more, don't ask anything."

He staggered towards the study, his wife looked at his back suspiciously, and asked again: "Zhang Lang, do you want to eat?"

Her answer was to slam the door shut with a bang.

. . . . . . . . .

Because of his advanced age, Cao Cao didn't sleep very much. He got up before the hour, drank a little porridge, and then took a slow walk in the garden. He did this every day.

In the past, when his daughter Cao Xian was around, his daughter would support him to walk slowly. Now that his daughter is married, the habit of walking still persists, but the person who supports him has become his wife Bian.

Although the Bian family gave birth to Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong Si for Cao Cao, she still lived a low-key life, seldom showing up in front of people, let alone interfering in government affairs.

The only thing that worries her is the power struggle between the several sons, especially the increasingly fierce struggle between Chang Pi and San Zhi, which makes her extremely distressed, but she is helpless.

Mrs. Bian supported her husband and walked slowly on the path. Cao Cao saw that the old wife was frowning and knew her worry, so he smiled and comforted her and said, "Both of them are my sons, and I don't want them to kill each other in the future." , the best way is that they have no power to resist, do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand!" Mrs. Bian whispered.

"Hey! I'm confused, let me tell you this."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Let Zhi'er no longer have any strength and can't pose a threat. Maybe for the sake of brothers, Pi'er will make him a rich man and live a peaceful life. I can't fight anymore."

"If that's the case, I'm relieved."

The two were talking, but Cao Cao saw a guard probing his head not far away, he was a little displeased and said, "What's the matter?"

The guard bit the bullet and stepped forward to salute: "Report to Wei Gong, Yu Shi Yang Cheng has an emergency report."

Cao Cao doesn't receive any officials to ask for an interview in the morning. This is known to everyone, especially when he is taking a walk, no one is allowed to disturb his quietness. As Yu Shicheng, this point should be clearer, but Yang Tian dared to come at this time Please see me, this made Cao Cao a little interested.

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Cao Pi had rushed to Bingzhou overnight to deal with the escape of officials there. If he realized something, he ordered: "Let him wait in the outer official room!"

Cao Cao also stopped walking, returned to his room, put on a robe, and then slowly headed towards the outer official room. The outer official room was where Cao Cao met ministers and discussed important military affairs. At this time, Yang Tian had been led to wait outside the official room.

His time is very tight. In the afternoon, Zhong Yao will formally report the results of his trip to Jiaozhou to Cao Cao. He must meet Cao Cao before Zhong Yao's report, report and impeach Zhong Yao. For this reason, Cao Pi also set off for Taiyuan overnight , to avoid the impeachment case of Zhong Yao.

Yang Tian also knew that Cao Cao would not meet the ministers in the morning, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he could only put all his eggs in one basket. Fortunately, he was lucky, Cao Cao agreed to meet him, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

He stood in the courtyard and waited for a long time, his hands and feet were numb from the cold. At this moment, a guard came out of the room and said to him: "Yang Cheng, Duke Wei let you in!"

Yang Tian rubbed his hands quickly, and walked into the room quickly. In the room, Cao Cao was already sitting down, drinking a cup of tea in a leisurely manner. Duke Wei!"

Cao Cao didn't raise his eyelids, and asked calmly, "Yang Cheng came here so early, is there anything urgent?"

"Report to Wei Gong, I want to impeach Zhong Junshi for liaising with the Han State and endangering the interests of the Wei State."

Cao Cao was taken aback. He didn't expect this to happen. He put down his tea bowl and asked, "Isn't Zhong Junshi going to Jiaozhou as an envoy? How did it become an affair with Han?"

"Reporting back to the State of Wei, Zhong Yao turned to the State of Han without authorization on his way back, and was warmly received by the people of the State of Han. Liu Jing even went to visit him at the VIP Post in person. Does Duke Wei know about these things?"

Cao Cao really didn't know, he frowned, he didn't let Zhong Yao go to Han, why did he go to Chang'an without authorization, Cao Cao seemed to have a thorn on his back, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"There is conclusive evidence for a humble job!"

Yang Tian took out the information on Chang'an and Zhang Tan's confession, presented it to Cao Cao, and said: "I received the information from Chang'an Flying Pigeon the day before yesterday, and should have presented it to Duke Wei immediately, but I still want to confirm the information again. Is it true, so last night I secretly interviewed a follower of Zhong Junshi, he told the details of Zhong Junshi's journey to Chang'an, which is completely consistent with Chang'an's information, so the humble official dared to impeach Zhong Junshi for scheming with Han."

Cao Cao picked up two more pieces of evidence and read them carefully. They were basically the same, but the confession was more detailed. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the world know about this?"

"After Weichen received the information from Chang'an, he immediately reported it to the world, but the world said that the matter was of great importance, and he could not impeach the important minister at will. There must be conclusive evidence, so Weichen visited another follower unannounced last night, and only after the evidence was conclusive. Dare to write a letter of impeachment."

Although Cao Caoxin was dissatisfied with Zhong Yao's behavior of going to Chang'an without authorization, he knew that as Zhong Yao, he would not easily do these reproachful things. There must be a reason, so he had to talk to Zhong Yao himself. , Cao Cao said: "I know about this matter, I have my own measure, you should step back first!"
