Only a few people in the room heard Xiao Han's words. Of course, if Feng Ang could hear it at this time, he would definitely look up to the sky and sigh with tears in his eyes.
"Why the hell did I do this? This is clearly how Lingnan has been since ancient times, okay?! Do you really think that I am the King of Lingnan and everyone in Lingnan has to obey me? Doesn't your emperor still call himself the emperor? Could it be that everyone in the world has surrendered?
Besides, I’m not a fool. If I really try my best to make Lingnan’s business a piece of cake, I think I’ll be finished even sooner! Do you think only a few fools in the city can do this kind of thing like raising bandits to respect themselves? The difference is: they are raising pirates, I am raising them! "
It's a pity that no one can hear the pain, pain and annoyance in Feng An's heart anymore.
In the face of a suffocatingly powerful emperor, all his previous efforts were nothing more than a sandcastle on the beach, which would collapse with just a small wave.
"I didn't do anything wrong, but I don't know why, I just lost."
This classic saying is probably the truest portrayal of Feng An’s heart at this moment!
However, did Feng Ang really do nothing wrong?
As an outsider, Xiao Han felt that he was still wrong!
Moreover, his mistake was on the most ridiculous issue. At the same time, it was also the most common mistake for officials: swinging from one side to the other and acting erratically!
Regarding hugging the thigh, Xiao Han always thought: Either you don't hug it, or you choose to hug it, you must hug it to death? No matter what happens in the middle, unless the thigh is about to break, never let go easily.
At this point, Xiao Han himself has done very well. Ever since he came to Datang, he has identified Xiao Lizi. During this period, no matter what happened, he would not let go even if he was beaten to death!
Feng Ang, on the other hand, did very poorly at this point.
Since you have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, don't worry so much! It should be noted that cleverness can lead to mistakes!
Your vacillation seems to be a normal thing in your own eyes, but in the eyes of others, it is no less than a signal that a traitor is about to rebel!
For example, in the first year of Zhenguan, the emperor invited you to join the court, but you didn't come!
Later, the emperor sent Chai Shao and others to ask you about the matter. Instead of simply admitting your mistake, you came up with a ridiculous excuse to use it as a prevarication. Then you even took it for granted to get a proton and send it to Chang'an, thinking that everything was fine.
At that time, Xiao Han felt that Feng Ang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! Still kicked more than once!
This is why Xiao Lizi can tolerate it. If there was another emperor, such as Yang Guang, facing such a subordinate who did not obey orders and did not respect his superiors, he would have been hacked to death eight hundred times!
However, Xiao Lizi did not hack him to death on the spot because he was concerned that the time was not ripe and the country was suffering from serious internal and external troubles.
Therefore, when the time came, the Feng family naturally became the first victim.
Fortunately, Feng Ang finally did one thing right this time, that is, he did not touch the stone with eggs, but chose to quit and choose to have a good time together.
The Feng family is withdrawing.
The Feng family also had to withdraw!
However, a new problem has arisen. When the Feng family withdraws, how should the void of rights left by him be resolved?
Xiao Han knows that no matter when a huge force suddenly withdraws, it will lead to a power vacuum for a period of time. This is almost certain in history!
According to experience, this period of power vacuum is often the darkest and most chaotic period.
When the head of the family dies, the eldest son and the youngest son will fight for the family property.
Not to mention such a big piece of fat in Lingnan! When the time comes, it would be strange for those family forces who are already unclean not to fight against each other!
Xiao Han thought of this at the beginning, and in order to avoid this situation, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his interests and made a three-year agreement with Feng Ang. He hoped that in these three years, the power of the imperial court could win the master of Guangzhou and even Lingnan. control.
However, from now on, even if Feng Ang abides by the three-year agreement, the imperial power that has been suppressed in Lingnan for a long time will not be able to fill the vacuum of this power. Fatty Hong is such a coward, it is estimated that he will be given another thirty years. , he can’t get hard either.
Not to mention, judging from Xiao Han's current situation, Feng An, an old scumbag, has always been full of anger in his heart, and he is very likely to play tricks on himself during this period, leaving him alone and talented!
Therefore, people must rely on themselves!
Don't place your vain hopes on others! So after thinking about this clearly, how to suppress the local forces in Lingnan and how to improve the court's credibility became Xiao Han's top priority.
He didn't want to work so hard to drive away the fierce tiger Feng Ang, only to have the hungry wolf take over his position again in the blink of an eye.
Picking peaches is only good if you do it yourself. If others do it, Xiao Han will be angry to death.
However, even though he thought so, the specifics of what to do still troubled his brain.
Although the big clans in Lingnan are not as large and deep as the clans in Shandong, they have been rooted in this land for hundreds of years. There is no shortage of relationships, connections, military force, and even hidden forces.
How can he defeat these local snakes with only an illusory name of orthodoxy?
This problem has been bothering Xiao Han for a long time. Just when he was thinking about it, who would have thought that a miracle would happen! A group of stupid assassins actually bumped into him!
Not to mention others, even Xiao Han was a little confused by this sudden change. After confirming the authenticity of all this, a bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
"You guys have done so many things secretly, killing and robbing, you must not be able to handle it flawlessly! When the time comes, I will come to investigate in person, I don't believe that I can't find anything! If I really find something, hmph …”
With a sinister smile on his lips, Xiao Han ignored the confused Liu Hongji, strode out of the room, and whispered instructions to Xiaodong and the others who were waiting outside.
——————
Even though it's late autumn, it's still very hot in Guangzhou every noon.
Under the shade of the trees on the street, a few men in short coats shook their fans and told each other interesting things about the dock. It was quite pleasant in this afternoon.
However, this comfort did not last long, and soon, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility.
On the long street, a group of men dressed as government officials rushed towards us with sticks and clamps. They were so frightened that several men grunted and rolled off their mats, looking at these government officials in surprise.
