Chapter 694: The Seller Seeks Glory
But even if the food is poisonous, Liu Chan is not afraid.
As an emperor, Liu Chan has not encountered poisoning and harm on weekdays, he has encountered several times in the early years, although he has escaped without danger, but Liu Chan can't help but be a little afraid, people always have negligence, if one day is accidentally poisoned, wouldn't it be too unlucky?
Therefore, Liu Chan had already exchanged the expensive elixir from the system and took it, and practiced a body that was invulnerable to all poisons, and he was not afraid of poison at all.
After taking a bite of the pastry, Liu Chan looked at the woman and asked, "The girl is a subordinate of the Taishou Mansion?" How long have you been here? ”
An ordinary maid will never practice swords, and this woman has a good face and fair skin, although she has some cover in her dress, it is difficult to hide her beautiful temperament.
Liu Chan guessed that this woman should have something to do with Hu Zhen, and it should be Hu Zhen's relatives and the like, because Hu Zhen died, so he pretended to be a subordinate and waited for an opportunity to approach him to avenge Hu Zhen.
Hu Zhen is a loyal person, Liu Chan also admires Hu Zhen very much, if this woman is really Hu Zhen's relative, Liu Chan doesn't want to embarrass her too much.
It's just that what Liu Chan can't figure out is that if this woman is really Hu Zhen's relative, then she should be familiar with the people in the house. Pretending to be a subordinate can't hide it from other subordinates in the house, and she should collude with other subordinates.
The first time they approach themselves, the other maids should behave in a fearful way, afraid that things will leak and affect themselves. But Liu Chan looked at the other maids but their faces were as usual, and they didn't show a look of fear.
Since the true identity of this woman is not yet known, Liu Chan does not intend to startle the snake, so he makes a tentative statement, planning to make a decision after figuring it out.
"Some time ago, His Majesty led troops to fight, and many of the subordinates in the mansion left, and Lord Taishou summoned a group of subordinates into the mansion, and the slaves and maids were also among them, so the slaves and maids also came to the mansion not long ago!" The woman listened to Liu Chan's question, bowed slightly, and showed a somewhat frightened look.
"Not long after I came...... Liu Chan glanced at the other maids slightly, only to see that their faces were as usual, if this woman knew the other maids, and what she answered just now was a lie, then these maids should show fear and panic.
But these maids did not show a look of fear, could it be that what the woman said was true?
If it hadn't been long since he entered the palace, could it be an assassin sent by Cao Wei? It's just an assassin, but he shouldn't have the temperament of a lady, this can't be trained no matter what.
Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first, you stay and serve!" ”
Liu Chan pointed to a very ordinary-looking maid.
The woman saw that Liu Chan actually left an ordinary maid without leaving herself, and a trace of unwillingness flashed on her face, but the other maids had already retreated, so in order not to arouse Liu Chan's suspicion, she could only retreat.
The maid who was left by Liu Chan was surprised and delighted, and she didn't know why Liu Chan would leave him behind to scout because she was obviously ordinary, did the emperor like my tune?
"How long have you been in the house?" Liu Chan asked the maid who stayed behind.
The maid replied: "The slave maid has only been in the palace for more than a month, when His Majesty led the army to kill, many people in the palace have fled, and the slave and maid have not been in the mansion for a long time. ”
"Not long have you been in the mansion?" Liu Chan frowned slightly.
The maid nodded and said, "When the general selected us, he always selected people who had not been in the palace for a long time to take care of His Majesty. ”
Liu Chan bowed slightly when he heard this, it turned out that the subordinates in this mansion were divided into two groups, one was the old man and the other was the newcomer.
The reason why Deng Ai chose a newcomer to serve Liu Chan was mainly because the old man had been in the house for a long time, and he had more or less received the favor of Hu Qian, and now that Hu Zhen had committed suicide, those old people were likely to avenge Hu Zhen.
If you are a newcomer, not long after you came, Hu Zhen was busy guarding the city during this time, and he couldn't take care of these newly opened people, and he didn't have any favors for them, so he didn't have this concern about using them to serve Liu Chan.
If this is the case, it makes sense, this woman should not be an assassin sent by the Wei State, and the probability of being a relative of Hu Zhen is relatively high, because this group of subordinates is new, if this woman lives in a simple place on weekdays, it is normal for the newcomers not to know this woman.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan asked again: "Then do you know the woman just now?" What's her name? ”
The maid thought about it when she heard this, shook her head and said: "The slave maid doesn't know each other, she has some faces, the house is very busy during this time, we are all newcomers, and we don't have time to know each other." I'm in charge of the back kitchen, so I guess she's in charge of other things. ”
Liu Chan nodded, and waved his hand to let the maid leave: "Okay, you don't need to serve here, go down!" ”
"Slave and maid retire!"
After the maid left, Liu Chan called the soldier over, ordered the soldier to fall, and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the woman in front of him.
After eating, it was getting late, Liu Chan read the letter left by Hu Zhen for a while, learned more about Nanyang's government affairs, and went to rest early.
Taishou Mansion is much more comfortable than the barracks, there are ice cubes hidden in the cellar in winter, and when I sleep at night, I put a few ice cubes next to the bed, as if I have installed an air conditioner.
When I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.
"It's the best sleep I've had in months! Come on in! Liu Chan stretched and sat up from the bed. Looking at a few figures outside the door, he let people in.
Several maids pushed the door in, some with breakfast, some with a basin, and the suspicious woman from yesterday was among them.
Although Wancheng has been down, Nanyang has not yet been completely taken, and Liu Chan is not in the mood to deal with this suspicious woman for the time being, so he washed his face and went to the palace to discuss with the generals after breakfast.
The woman looked at Liu Chan's distant back, clenched her fists, and didn't know what she was thinking.
A maid walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "Xia Hui, what are you thinking?" Hurry up and clean up the room! ”
"Oh oh......" The woman named Xia Hui came back to her senses and cleaned the room with the other maids.
When I came to the palace, the generals had already arrived.
"Your Majesty!"
"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Chan nodded and sat down in his seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chan looked at Guan Ping and said, "Now Wancheng has fallen, but north of Wancheng, there are still a large number of cities that have not yet been captured. Guan Ping, I will give you 30,000 horses, and continue to send troops north to collect the cities of Nanyang and seize the entire territory of Nanyang. ”
"Wechen obeys!" Guan Ping gave up his hand to receive the order.
Liu Chan continued: "Before I arrived in Wancheng with my troops, Hu Zhen originally wanted to rebuild Wancheng, but the project was abandoned halfway through. Now Wancheng is divided into inner and outer city walls, and the east gate has become a two-zhang high wall pier, which can not travel, which is really inconvenient.
Therefore, I decided to build Wancheng, and the craftsmen who were responsible for rebuilding Wancheng were all in the city, and there were more than 20,000 Wei soldiers available. There are cement kilns and stone mines nearby, Huang Xu, Liu Yin, this matter will be taken care of by the two of you with those Wei soldiers. ”
"No!" The two of them surrendered their orders.
"Zhou Tai!" After Liu Chan explained these two things, he looked at the generals of His Highness.
"The last general!" Zhou Tai listened to Liu Chan's call and hurriedly walked out.
Liu Chan looked at Zhou Tai and said with a smile: "I was reunited with my family last night, right?" ”
Zhou Tai arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty for not leaking the news of the surrender of the last general, the last night the last general will go home, and the family is fine." ”
Liu Chan nodded and said, "Now you can work for me, right?" ”
Zhou Tai hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's drive!" ”
Liu Chan muttered: "The land of Nanyang, the Wei State has been operating for decades, and has served as Cao Ren, Sima Yi, Hu Zhen and other generations of heroes, which can be described as deep-rooted, although I have taken Nanyang, but the local officials are still appointed by the Wei State. You are from Nanyang, and you have been an official and general in Nanyang for a long time, so you must be very familiar with these people. ”
As soon as Zhou Tai heard this, he immediately said: "I am willing to help Your Majesty completely control Nanyang." ”
Liu Chan smiled with satisfaction and said: "Then I will appoint you as the Taishou of Nanyang, and now the top priority is to purge the officials of Nanyang." ”
"Wechen obeys!" Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and Mei Zizi took over Liu Chan's appointment.
With Liu Chan's several orders, Wancheng fell into a busy situation again, Guan Ping led his troops to the north and continued to pacify the counties of Nanyang, Huang Xu and Liu Yin took the Wei army to surrender and continue to complete the reconstruction of Nanyang.
But said that Zhou Tai, is the most filial piety of the person, but like fame and fortune, the original family in Wancheng, afraid of affecting the family, so do not dare to work for Liu Chan, now Wancheng has been down, Zhou Tai has no worries, was appointed by Liu Chan as Nanyang Taishou, responsible for cleaning Nanyang officials.
This Nanyang, from Cao Cao's pacification of Zhang Xiu to the present, Cao Wei has occupied it for more than 30 years, and has experienced three generations of governors such as Cao Ren, Sima Yi, and Hu Zhen, and the power can be said to be deep-rooted.
Although Liu Chan occupied Nanyang, the local officials were still appointed by the Wei State, and if these officials were not purged, the loyal Wei people would be eliminated and replaced with loyal and reliable people.
Zhou Tai also knew Liu Chan's intention to make him the Taishou of Nanyang, the first was to control Nanyang by virtue of his familiarity with Nanyang, and the second was to let him completely betray Wei and show his loyalty.
Zhou Tai has been an official in Nanyang for more than ten years, and is the second person in Nanyang, not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of government affairs.
So after returning home, Zhou Tai wrote a very long list of the names of officials from all over Nanyang. His character, ability, and loyalty to the Wei state are all indicated.
In addition, Zhou Tai has written a lot of names, most of these people are more famous celebrities in Nanyang, and there are people who have never met talents.
It took a night, Zhou Tai finally wrote the list, and there was no time to rest, so after washing up, Zhou Tai took the list and went to see Liu Chan. This thing, it's his name.
Taishou Fuzhong.
Liu Chan had just gotten up, and several maids walked into the room to serve and wash, and at this time, a personal soldier came to report, saying that Zhou Tai wanted to see him.
Liu Chan nodded, and explained to his own soldiers: "You let him come to the study to see me!" ”
Jingling!
Suddenly, a crisp sound sounded in the room, and Liu Chan looked up and saw a woman drop a soup bowl on the ground without being deep. And that woman is the woman named Xia Hui who has a suspicious appearance a few days ago.
Xia Hui suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, and knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, the slave and maid are careless......"
The ground was full of broken soup bowl crumbs, and Xia Hui's forehead snorted on the ground, and he immediately wiped his forehead, making his forehead bloody.
"Is this afraid of seeing Zhoutai?" Liu Chan raised his eyebrows, and guessed Xia Hui's intentions in an instant, how could a person who practiced martial arts easily break the bowl?
Liu Chan's eyes narrowed slightly, stepped forward to help Xia Hui up, and said: "It's just that I broke a bowl, and I won't kill you, look at you, your forehead is broken, and those who don't know think that I abuse people." ”
Xia Hui was helped up by Liu Chan, trembling with fear, there were broken crumbs on his forehead, blood oozed from several cut wounds, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked very moving.
"Come, sit down first!" Liu Chan pulled Xia Hui down in a seat, dipped the towel prepared for him by the maid in water and handed it to Xia Hui.
Xia Hui took the towel, and he didn't know what to do, because the soldiers had already gone to bring Zhoutai over.
Liu Chan looked at Xia Hui and said, "What's wrong?" Wipe the wound first, I still have hemostatic medicine here, I'll get it for you. ”
Xia Hui's face turned a little pale, and he looked terrified: "How dare the slave bother Your Majesty...... The slave and maid can go back and deal with it themselves. ”
Liu Chan smiled and said, "It's okay, I give it to you and you can use it." ”
When Xia Hui heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he could only read and covered his stomach, and said with an uncomfortable look: "Slave maid...... Slave ......"
"What do you have to hide?"
Xiahou Hui was stunned when he heard this, he pretended to be like this, it was nothing more than a stomachache or a sunflower coming, as long as it was a person, he could see it, and then let himself leave to solve his personal affairs. Why didn't Liu Chan not only not let himself go, but also asked boldly?
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but it was the soldiers who led Zhou Tai over.
Zhou Tai walked into the room, and saw that Liu Chan had not yet washed, not only was he stunned, but he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, delaying Your Majesty's dream, Weichen really deserves to die." Weichen retired first, and waited for His Majesty to finish washing, and then came to ask for a meeting. ”
Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "No need, since I let you come over, I don't care, you wait first!" ”
When Zhou Tai heard this, he stood at the door and waited quietly.
Liu Chan glanced at Xia Hui playfully, walked to the basin and washed his face.
Zhou Tai was now at the door, and he couldn't help but look at the scene in the room, because the situation in the room seemed a little weird. A maid sat on a stool, and her forehead was broken.
looked at Xia Hui unconsciously, and when he saw Xia Hui's appearance clearly, Zhou Tai couldn't help but shrink his pupils......
