Zhao Shan took Dongchang Fanzi's letter and browsed it quickly. When he read the contents of the letter, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan actually instigated Huo Dan's rebellion, and together with all the civil and military officials, forced Liu Fuquan to surrender.
It really happened.
In fact, Zhao Shan didn't have much hope of retribution.
On the one hand, Changyi County is Liu Fuquan's hometown, and there are always direct descendants of Liu Fuquan. On the other hand, Liu Fuquan's Xia Kingdom was able to work hard to govern because of capable people like Huo Dan, who was different from other thieves.
Now that Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan had won, Zhao Shan no longer had to worry about anything. He immediately called Fang Weihu and ordered Fang Weihu to speed up and go straight to Changyi County.
The army accelerated and galloped all the way.
It originally took a day to reach Changyi County, but now it only took half a day for Zhao Shan to lead his army to the outside of Changyi County.
The army arrived, and Jiang Yuhuang, Ye Qingxuan, Huo Dan and other civil and military officials came to greet them.
Jiang Yuhuang walked up first and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we were able to successfully instigate rebellion this time, thanks to sister Qingxuan. She used her identity to instigate Huo Dan. Without Huo Dan, the situation in Changyi County would be very troublesome. "
Ye Qingxuan stood aside and said modestly: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to take credit. It's all sister Yuhuang's plan. I'm just executing it."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "You all have merit, I will reward you all together."
As he spoke, Zhao Shan cast an ambiguous look at Jiang Yuhuang, then looked at Huo Dan, who was bringing all the civil and military officials to surrender, and said in a deep voice: "Huo Dan!"
"The sinner is here!"
Huo Dan stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Although you are an old subordinate of King Yan Zhao Yong, you never followed Zhao Yong to kill indiscriminately. During your time in Yanzhou, you were able to restrain all parties and manage the place so that the people could settle down from the war."
"Especially your repentance and turning from darkness to light, I admire you very much."
Huo Dan was relieved.
Even with Ye Qingxuan as a guarantee, Huo Dan was worried, what if Zhao Shan went back on his word?
Zhao Shan has always been domineering.
Now that Zhao Shan personally expressed his stance, Huo Dan's heart that was hanging in mid-air has completely fallen to the ground, and he no longer has any worries.
Huo Dan said respectfully: "Your Majesty has great talents and strategies, and is an eternal sage. It is a blessing for sinners to be loyal to your majesty. Previously, sinners worked for Liu Fuquan and were the accomplices of tigers."
"Today, the sinner has finally found his direction, which is to follow His Majesty and establish immortal achievements. From then on, the sinner seems to have an anchor on the ship, which can anchor the ship and prevent it from drifting with the tide."
"From then on, sinners seem to see a ray of light in the dark night, so that they will not fall into despair."
Zhao Shan raised his eyebrows.
Huo Dan's words surprised him.
According to the news that Gao Yuan found out, Huo Dan is a very capable person, good at dancing, able to govern the local area, and can coordinate the forces of all parties. It is precisely with such a long-sleeved and skillful person that Liu Fuquan can unite all forces.
Liu Fu dominates the whole party, and Huo Dan takes the first place.
Without Huo Dan, Liu Fuquan would have been gone long ago, and it would be impossible to unite all the forces.
But, this is actually a smooth person.
A mouthful of flattery.
Zhao Shan didn't care, because in the world, some people are upright and stubborn, some are smooth and good at dancing, some are selfish and only care about their own interests, and some are obsessed with money.
Zhao Shan is the emperor of Daqian, and his job is to employ people.
No matter what your character is.
Being able to do things for me, being able to do good things, and being able to make things better and better step by step is the only criterion.
Zhao Shan was thinking about Huo Dan's situation, but suddenly he had an idea and said in a deep voice: "Huo Dan!"
"The sinner is here!"
Huo Dan bowed and saluted again.
Zhao Shan said: "Today's Yanzhou seems to be prosperous and peaceful, and the place is still stable. In fact, there are many problems, and a strong person is needed to serve as governor. Do you dare to take over?"
Huo Dan's eyes suddenly became bright.
Chance!
This is the opportunity!
He used to be just an assistant in the palace of King Zhao Yong of King Yan, and was not taken seriously at all. He is considered an old member of Prince Yan's palace, but actually he doesn't count because when Zhao Yong was alive, he had no right to speak and was just a minor official.
Following Liu Fuquan to Yanzhou, Liu Fuquan was busy in front of the horse and behind the horse, which made Liu Fuquan found the country and proclaim himself emperor.
Huo Dan once discussed the future with Liu Fuquan.
The best strategy is to surrender to Daqian and turn Xia into a vassal state of Daqian.
As long as Zhao Shan accepts Liu Fuquan's surrender, Xia Kingdom will be safe and will not be attacked by Da Gan. Even if it’s unlikely, there is still a way. How would you know if you don’t give it a try?
However, Liu Fuquan refused.
Huo Dan persuaded Liu Fuquan and Zhao Yue to marry at the earliest, but Huo Dan was obsessed with Ye Qingxuan and wanted to bring Ye Qingxuan back, so he did not marry Zhao Yue.
Liu Fuquan was determined to bring Ye Qingxuan back, and arranged for someone to sneak into Luoyang. He tried his best to bring the person back, but he also angered Zhao Shan, causing the two sides to start a war in advance, leading to defeat after defeat.
This is all Liu Fuquan's insistence.
Liu Fuquan did not have the pleasure of other thieves and bandits, and he indeed worked hard to conquer.
However, because Liu Fuquan was short-sighted as a counselor and always thought about Ye Qingxuan, he did not marry Zhao Yue to increase his strength, which led to the current ending.
Liu Fuquan has become a thing of the past.
Now, it's time for him to get out of his own life.
thump!
Huo Dan knelt on the ground, knelt on the ground with his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Huo Dan, is willing to serve your Majesty, through fire and water, no matter what."
Zhao Shan said calmly: "I don't need you to go through fire and water, I just need you to understand that governing Yanzhou is a top priority. We want the people of Yanzhou to have clothes and food to eat, and we want Yanzhou to have a bright future, so that Yanzhou will not be in darkness."
Huo Dan immediately said: "I accept your order!"
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Huo Dan thanked him again and bowed before standing up respectfully.
After Huo Dan stood up, Zhao Shan looked at all the other Xia Kingdom civil and military officials who were welcoming him.
He said loudly: "I don't know any of you, but I only recommend talents. Anyone who has the ability can come to me and recommend himself."
"Huo Dan is now the governor of Yanzhou. He will rearrange your official positions and let you serve at the local level or stay in the governor's office."
"Everything will be arranged by Huo Dan.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Daqian's future is good enough, and Daqian's platform is big enough. As long as you have skills and abilities, I will use you."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhang Tong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the first to speak.
The other civil and military officials of Xia Kingdom also spoke.
Most of these people didn't take it seriously when it came to self-recommendation, and a very few people were interested.
Because a large part of the civil and military officials present were former bandits from Yanzhou, and it was because of Huo Dan's win over that these people surrendered to Liu Fuquan.
Zhao Shan gave a few words of encouragement and without further words, ordered the Shence Army to enter the city and take over the city in Changyi County, and also ordered the Xuanjia Army of Zhou Huhou to enter the city and attack the imperial palace to take over the imperial city.
After doing all this, Zhao Shancai entered the city with confidence and boldness.
He entered with Jiang Yuhuang, Ye Qingxuan, Huo Dan, Zhang Tong and others. The main ministers of the Xia Kingdom followed him. The other civil and military officials dispersed and performed their duties for the time being.
Zhao Shan entered the imperial city and came to the main hall.
The imperial city is very simple.
The main hall is not grand enough either.
After all, the imperial city was rebuilt from the former governor's palace. It was not too extravagant and the place was not spacious enough.
Liu Fuquan didn't have time to rebuild it.
Zhao Shan sat on the dragon chair and ordered: "Huo Dan, bring Liu Fuquan up."
"I accept the decree!"
Huo Dan bowed in agreement and ordered: "Go and bring Liu Fuquan up."
Soldiers went to carry out orders.
Not long after, Liu Fuquan came in under escort. He lowered his head and arched his back slightly, looking terrified. When he arrived at the main hall, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The sinner Liu Fuquan, pay homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Liu Fuquan, raise your head."
Liu Fuquan looked up with panic in his eyes, as if he was worried about being killed.
Zhao Shan said with a smile: "Liu Fuquan, you didn't expect it, did you? He fled from the front line back to Changyi County and was ambushed again. If you want to escape, where can you escape in this big world?"
Liu Fuquan quickly kowtowed and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the sinner has realized his crime. The sinner has realized his mistake. I beg your Majesty to spare my life. I am willing to be a slave and a maid, and I am willing to serve your Majesty."
Zhao Shan snorted.
Liu Fuquan knelt on the ground, shaking.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
Huo Dan stood up and saluted at this time.
Zhao Shan asked: "Huo Dan, what can I do for you?"
Huo Dan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Liu Fuquan. He is not like the usual Liu Fuquan. Even though his appearance and body shape are similar to Liu Fuquan, there is something wrong with his temperament."
"Especially the sound. Although it's similar, it's more shrill and it's even more wrong."
"I ask your Majesty to conduct an investigation to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Huo Dan knelt down on the ground and said, "I arranged for people to keep an eye on me and never let down my guard. If Liu Fuquan runs away, I am willing to take the blame."
thump!
'Liu Fuquan' collapsed on the ground, trembling even more.
Zhao Shan noticed the appearance of 'Liu Fuquan' and suddenly understood.
This is fake.
If it is true, it is impossible for him to be so frightened just because of Huo Dan's words.
Zhao Shan was also surprised.
In Chenliu County, as soon as Liu Fuquan saw that the situation was collapsing, he arranged for people to change their clothes early, arranged for a soldier to pretend to be himself and escape, and escaped. Now that they have been imprisoned by Huo Dan and have lost their freedom, this guy can still run away.
There are really means.
He is indeed a person who can dominate one side and has some abilities.
When Zhao Shan looked at 'Liu Fuquan', 'Liu Fuquan' had collapsed.
He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am not Liu Fuquan, I am his substitute. I don't know where he has gone, I am just pretending to be him. Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am also helpless." of."
Huo Dan looked remorseful and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is my fault that I did not discover Liu Fuquan's escape in time. Please forgive me."
Zhao Shan said: "If you didn't say anything, or even killed the fake Liu Fuquan, even if it was a lie, it would still be true. If you can point it out, know your mistakes and correct them, there is no greater good."
Huo Dan said: "I will immediately arrange for people to investigate and search Liu Fuquan's whereabouts immediately."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said, "No need."
Huo Dan was stunned and said, "Aren't you going to search Liu Fuquan?"
Zhao Shan ordered: "There is no need to carry out a large-scale search. We just need to set up checkpoints along the way and make some arrangements."
"This fake Liu Fuquan will be executed as if he were the real Liu Fuquan, and Liu Fuquan will be declared dead."
Huo Dan suddenly understood.
This is a clever method.
After Liu Fuquan was declared dead, among the people from all over Yanzhou, Liu Fuquan was dead, which would be more conducive to recruiting people from all over the country to surrender. Even if Liu Fuquan really escapes, it will be difficult to make waves.
If Liu Fuquan wants to jump out, just catch him.
Huo Dan said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, I will make arrangements immediately."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Go and make arrangements."
Huo Dan turned around and left.
Zhang Tong and several other important officials also left.
Soon, only Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan were left in the main hall. Zhao Shanxiao said: "Yuhuang, Qingxuan, you have made great achievements this time, what reward do you want?"
Jiang Yuhuang said: "Your Majesty, I don't need a reward for this concubine. I heard that your Majesty captured Kong Lingyue alive. Where is the person? Bring the person in and see if we have another sister?"
Ye Qingxuan echoed: "I don't want rewards either."
Zhao Shan said: "I did capture Kong Lingyue alive, but she is Kong Shentong's daughter and has some use value. I have already instigated Kong Lingyue's rebellion and asked her to return to Qingzhou to instigate Kong Shentong's rebellion."
"Oh, what a pity..."
Jiang Yuhuang looked regretful and said, "I also want to see what Sister Kong looks like."
She changed the topic and said, "I looked at the army brought by your Majesty, but it seems that I didn't see General Li Buyi, and I didn't even see Sister Fengqing. Where did they go?"
Zhao Shan directly explained the arrangements of Li Buyi and Wei Fengqing, and said in a deep voice: "This time we adopt a multi-front combat strategy, and strive to directly pacify Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou in one go, and resolve the chaos in the hinterland of the Central Plains."
Jiang Yuhuang said: "Your Majesty is wise."
At this moment, Jiang Yuhuang suddenly vomited and covered his heart, feeling very uncomfortable.
Zhao Shan saw this and said hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Jiang Yuhuang had a bad premonition in her heart. She looked at Zhao Shan with helplessness in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you won't be hit again, right?"
Zhao Shan understood immediately.
There was a smile on his face.
Are you pregnant?
If you get pregnant, that's a good thing.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Gao Yuan, go to the army and find a doctor who is accompanying the army to diagnose Yuhuang."
"Slave takes orders!"
Gao Yuan left in Fengfenghuohuo.
Jiang Yuhuang looked resentful and said: "Your Majesty, I still want to participate in the follow-up war. The next attack on Qingzhou and Xuzhou, I have to go, how can I get pregnant again? How can it be so easy?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled and said: "Sister Yuhuang, don't worry, maybe she's just feeling unwell. Look at me, haven't you always been pregnant?"
Jiang Yuhuang said: "I hope so."
Zhao Shan saw it in his eyes, but he chuckled and waited quietly.
Not long after, Gao Yuan came back with the doctor. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the doctor is here."
Zhao Shan nodded.
The doctor motioned Jiang Yuhuang to sit down, and then carefully diagnosed Jiang Yuhuang's pulse. After a long while, the doctor showed a smile on his face and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, your Majesty is pregnant."
"well!"
Zhao Shan smiled approvingly, looked at Jiang Yuhuang, and said, "Yuhuang, now that you are pregnant, you must pay attention to your health. You must not fight at will or be careless."
Jiang Yuhuang said: "I understand."
She said she didn't want to get pregnant and wanted to fight, but when she found out she was actually pregnant, she accepted it.
Just let nature take its course.
Jiang Yuhuang glanced at Ye Qingxuan beside him and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the doctor is here anyway. He will also take sister Qingxuan's pulse to see if she is pregnant?"
"Calculating the time, it took us more than a month to travel from Chenliu County to Changyi County. If so, we might be pregnant."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said: "It's impossible for me, I haven't been pregnant for so many years."
Jiang Yuhuang smiled and said, "Give it a try."
Zhao Shan also nodded and said, "Okay, give it a try and see how Qingxuan is doing."
Ye Qingxuan did not refuse and stretched out his hand to let the doctor check his pulse.
