Chapter 718: Dilemma
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
But all the soldiers of the Han army who experienced the southern expedition hated Deng Feng to the core, and when they thought of so many comrades and brothers who died in Nanyang, the soldiers were eager to break Deng Feng's body into pieces.
Moreover, Wu Han's attitude was very clear, that is, he wanted to kill Deng Feng, and the soldiers were also willing to sell Da Sima a favor.
Liu Xiu looked at the generals who knelt down, he turned his eyes, looked at Deng Yu again, and asked, "Zhonghua, what do you think?" ”
There is no personal grudge between Deng Yu and Deng Feng, and the two are still their own families, and Deng Yu has never made a statement on whether Deng Feng wants to kill or stay.
Now that His Majesty asked his head, Deng Yu could no longer remain silent.
He pondered for a while and said: "Weichen thinks that Deng Feng's crime is not an exaggeration to exterminate the nine clans, but Deng Feng does contribute to the Han family, so he temporarily detains Deng Feng, brings him back to Luoyang, and then discusses, Weichen thinks it is very safe." ”
Deng Yu is doing Tai Chi, what he said is equivalent to not saying it, it sounds very reasonable, but there is no substantive content.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Deng Yu is indeed not very easy to make a statement.
The relationship between Deng Feng and the Han family is complicated, layer upon layer. If he said that he should kill Deng Feng, he would offend a group of people, and if he should not kill Deng Feng, he would also offend a group of people.
After thinking about it, Deng Yu felt that he should not be this budding bird, after all, he still has a lot of impeachments on his head.
He will play Tai Chi, and Liu Xiu will also take Tai Chi, who followed Deng Yu's words and said: "Yes, how to deal with Deng Feng, let's discuss it after returning to Luoyang!" ”
In his heart, Liu Xiu was unwilling to kill Deng Feng, and he also promised Yan Guang that as long as Deng Feng was willing to surrender on his own initiative, he could spare Deng Feng's life.
Liu Xiu is a person who has always valued integrity, and he is even more reluctant to go back on his word for a close friend like Yan Guang.
With the surrender of Deng Feng, the war that broke out in Nanyang and lasted nearly a year finally came to an end.
Occupying Nanyang, the forces of Deng Feng, Yancen, and Dong Xun, who were in cahoots, were defeated in one fell swoop and collapsed.
After the battle of Nanyang, Dong Xun led his troops to surrender, Yancen was defeated and fled to Nanjun, Deng Feng led his troops to surrender, and the Luoyang court headed by Liu Xiu officially subdued Nanyang in the third year of Jianwu, 27 AD.
After so many years of natural and man-made disasters, Nanyang has long been riddled with holes, Liu Xiu implemented a series of policies to benefit the people in Nanyang, helping Nanyang to revive all industries and recuperate.
Because Nanyang is the relationship between the emperor's township, many of the princes and heroes in the Jianwu court are from Nanyang, and now Nanyang has been subdued, and these Nanyang nobles in the court have also returned to their hometowns and bought real estate in Nanyang.
During the Liu Xiu period, there were two places in the Han dynasty that were the most difficult to govern, one was Luoyang, which was the imperial capital and the place where the powerful of the whole country gathered, and the other was Nanyang, which was the emperor's hometown and the place where the powerful gathered.
Deng Feng, Yan Cen, and Dong Xun's rebellion in Nanyang was put down, but the matter was far from over.
After Liu Xiu and the others returned to the Chinese military tent, they sat down one after another. Liu Xiu looked at Cen Peng and said, "Junran! ”
"Wechen is here!" Cen Peng intervened to give a salute.
Liu Xiu said: "Deng Feng has surrendered, the remnants of Deng Feng's army need someone to receive it, this matter will be handled by you!" ”
After a pause, he reminded again: "These veterans of Nanyang, if they are willing to join our Han army, they can be incorporated into our army, and if they are unwilling to join our Han army, their weapons and armor can be confiscated and dismissed on the spot." ”
Cen Peng nodded in response: "Weichen has written it down." As soon as the conversation between Liu Xiu and Cen Peng came to an end, Wu Han bowed and said: "Your Majesty, during Deng Feng's rebellion, many people in Nanyang counties supported Deng Feng openly and secretly, and there were also many people who were willing to do things for Deng Feng and were enemies of the imperial court
The minister thinks that all these things should be liquidated. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu was silent. Cen Peng thought for a while, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Da Sima is reasonable, this kind of scheming and hidden evil intentions should be punished as soon as possible, and there will be no future troubles!" ”
Seeing that Cen Peng supported him, Wu Han was more confident, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the rebellion in Nanyang is all because of these black sheep who are not subordinate to the Han family. ”
Liu Xiu pondered for a while, raised his head and said, "Yan Guang, Jianrong!" ”
"Wechen is here!" Yan Guang and Jian Rong hurriedly got up and bowed to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu said: "This matter will be handled by the two of you!" ”
It can be seen that Wu Han is bent on winning this errand, but Liu Xiu can't do what he wants.
Wu Han hated Deng Feng to the bone, hated the house and Wu, and Wu Han would never be merciful to some people who had a relationship with Deng Feng.
If this errand is really handed over to Wu Han to do, I don't know how many people will die in vain at the hands of Wu Han.
Liu Xiu has never been a murderous person, too many people have died in Nanyang, and now that the war is over, you have to spare people and spare people! This is also the main reason why Liu Xiu decided to let Yan Guang and Jian Rong deal with this matter.
Yan Guang is a cultivator, Liu Xiu's personality is soft enough, Yan Guang is softer than Liu Xiu. However, it is not appropriate to let Yan Guang, who has a too soft temperament, take full authority to deal with this matter, so Liu Xiu thought of Jian Rong again.
Jian Rong is fair, he does things at a glance, he is upright, he can just make up for Yan Guang's shortcomings, and this matter is handed over to this Rou Yigang and two people, which is very suitable. Seeing that His Majesty did not hand over this matter to himself, Wu Han was disappointed, and he mentioned Deng Feng's matter again, saying: "Your Majesty, Deng Feng is the culprit of the Nanyang Rebellion, this thief must not stay, as long as Deng Feng still lives for one day, the hidden danger of Nanyang,
Just one more day! ”
Seeing that Wu Han was the king of the eight who ate the scales, and he was determined to kill Deng Feng, Yan Guang frowned tightly and said: "Da Sima, Deng Fengken took the initiative to surrender, which shows that he has repentance!" ”
Wu Han scoffed and said: "Mr. Yan, the reason why Deng Feng took the initiative to surrender is because he is already cornered, it is difficult to fly, if he does not surrender, he will die, he has no choice but to surrender!" ”
"Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and virtue, so that people of insight from all over the world are attracted to compete to assist Your Majesty, benevolence is the foundation of the Han Dynasty!"
"Severely punish the rebels and kill the rebels, this does not conflict with Your Majesty's benevolence!"
Wu Han and Yan Guang have a word, and I have a word, and they can't argue. Liu Xiu made a headache, rubbed his forehead, waved his hand to the two and said, "Okay, okay, I've already said it, this matter will be discussed when I return to Luoyang!" ”
Seeing Liu Xiu's impatience, Wu Han and Yan Guang invariably stopped arguing, bowed to Liu Xiu together, and retreated to their seats.
Liu Xiu said: "Okay, that's all for today, I'm tired, I have to go back to the sleeping tent to rest!" ”
"Wechen retires!" The generals got up one after another, bowed to Liu Xiu, and then Yuguan withdrew from the Chinese military tent.
When Zhu You was about to go out, he was stopped by Liu Xiu. Everyone is accustomed to this, and Zhu You has served as a military protector by Liu Xiu's side for many years, often accompanying Liu Xiu.
After everyone left, Liu Xiu smiled at Zhu You and said happily: "It seems that Deng Feng treats Ah You well!" "Raise you to be fat for nothing.
Zhu You scratched his head and grinned: "Although Weichen doesn't like Deng Feng either, but during this time, Deng Feng is really good to Weichen." ”
After a pause, he said again: "This is thanks to Ziling, since Ziling visited me, my treatment has been much better, and I can eat meat every three days." ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he laughed. After laughing for a while, he beckoned to Zhu You and motioned to sit beside him. He asked, "Ah You, do you also agree that I should release Deng Feng?" Zhu You glanced at Liu Xiu, folded his fingers and said, "One, Deng Feng is the nephew of his brother-in-law (Deng Chen)." Second, Deng Feng has a life-saving grace for Yin nobles. Third, Deng Feng is the eldest brother's old subordinate. Fourth, Deng Feng's rebellion is also excusable.
Da Sima has an unshirkable responsibility. Fifth, killing Deng Feng is also not conducive to His Majesty's reputation. ”
Liu Xiu looked at Zhu You pulling his fingers, and said the head of the way, laughed out loud, and asked, "Why is this matter still related to my reputation?" ”
Zhu You poked his head and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty hear about it?" ”
"What did you hear?" "The common people are spreading that the reason why Deng Feng rebelled against His Majesty was because of the Yin nobles. If His Majesty kills Deng Feng, but the rumors are confirmed, the people will definitely think that His Majesty killed Deng Feng in order to get rid of his rival. This, of course, is detrimental to
Your Majesty's reputation! ”
Liu Xiu blinked, then laughed, shook his head and said, "There are still such rumors." ”
"People's words are terrifying, and Your Majesty can't help but think about it!" Zhu You reminded.
Liu Xiule said: "It seems that I can't kill Deng Feng." ”
Zhu You sighed and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't kill Deng Feng, Da Sima, and the generals in the army, they will all have a lot of complaints against Your Majesty, and everyone will be indignant!" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at Zhu You and said, "Speaking of which, you, like Zhonghua, are going around in circles with me. ”
Zhu You spread his hands and said, "How to deal with Deng Feng is a headache. ”
"yes!" Liu Xiu sighed with deep feelings. On the one hand, there is the layered relationship between Deng Feng and himself, and on the other hand, there are the passionate soldiers in the army, Liu Xiu is caught in it, and he is in a dilemma.
Zhu You looked at Liu Xiu with sympathy, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I'm not the son of heaven, so I don't have to worry about so many bad things!" ”
Liu Xiu was almost angry, raised his hand and pinched the fat on Zhu You's cheek, and said, "I haven't settled accounts with you about your defeat and capture!" At least I'll have to punish you for half a year! ”
As soon as Zhu You heard that he was going to be fined, he immediately put on a sad face and muttered, "Punish you for half a year?" So what do I eat and drink? ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "You can get food." "Zhu You was blocked by the Marquis of Yang, which used to be just a false name, but now with the imperial court subduing Nanyang, Zhu You's Marquis of Duyang is no longer in name, and he can lead the food of the whole county. Zhu You's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, and slapped his head again and again
, smiled and said: "I have a fief!" I now have my own fiefdom as well! ”
"Yes, Hou Yang, the food in Duyang is enough to raise you fatter and more meaty!" Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go back to the sleeping tent!" ”
Deng Feng took the initiative to surrender, presumably Lihua also heard about it, and now she is in a hurry in the sleeping tent!
Zhu You smiled and said, "I haven't seen Lihua's sister-in-law for a long time!" Liu Xiu shook his head at Zhu You and walked out. Zhu You grinned and followed Liu Xiu out of the Chinese military tent like a fart.
