It doesn't actually matter whether Changyu lives or dies.
He was not an important person to begin with, he was just good at the art of prophecy.
Do you have the talent to govern a country?
Yes, but not much.
Do you have military talent?
Not at all.
Such a person is of little value while alive, and cannot bring any benefits after death.
That's right.
From the beginning, Liu Chan never thought about taking action against Chang Yu, but would only punish him in name and imprison him for a few years.
He wanted to further integrate the people of Yizhou through the character of Changyu.
What Liu Bei couldn't do would actually be easier for him, Liu Chan.
It's like closing your heart.
"Killing Chang Yu may not gain the hearts of the people in the state."
Guan Xing stepped forward and analyzed for everyone: "The Sima of the rear is popular in Yizhou. These popular people are coerced to participate in treasonous things such as attacking and killing the young master. Even if they are killed according to crime, they are just dispelled." Some people with ulterior motives, but because of the death of Sima in the rear, the situation will be more turbulent. At that time, people's hearts will be even more volatile than before. Even if the lord is in Hanzhong, he will have to worry about Chengdu."
"Extremely yes!"
Pang Tong actually figured out Liu Chan's purpose from the beginning.
He looked at Liu Chan with a lot of joy in his eyes.
"The Sima in the rear committed a serious crime and was not to be spared lightly, but he was spared by the prince. He will be grateful to His Highness and make it clear to the outside world that he is not the mastermind, but an accomplice who was coerced and imprisoned in the mansion for several years as a punishment. "
Being calm and generous can indeed play a big role and serve as a role model.
But what Liu Chan wants to do is definitely more than that.
"Invite the rear commander to come over."
The general tone has been set, now it's time for the 'main characters' to enter.
Not long after, Zhang Yu, who looked lost, was dragged into the main tent by two soldiers. When the two soldiers released him, his whole body collapsed.
"Chang Yu, do you know your guilt?"
Pang Tong's face was as cold as ice and he shouted angrily at Chang Yu!
Being yelled like this by Pang Tong actually called Chang Yu's soul back.
He stood up shakily. Although his feet were weak, his tone was very dissatisfied.
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
"Death is imminent and you are so stubborn. I think you will be punished."
Pang Tong slammed the document in front of him and shouted to the left and right: "We will be punished!"
As if it was well rehearsed, eight people walked in outside the door and brought various torture instruments.
What kind of triangular horse, soldering iron, plywood, iron whip with iron barbs, five-color killing stick...
Wherever it is, nothing is there.
These instruments of torture were lined up in front of Zhang Yu. No matter how tough Zhang Yu was, he couldn't say a single harsh word at this time.
"Chang Yu, do you know your guilt?"
Pang Tong's question almost killed Chang Yu's soul, and he became limp again.
"I...I...I..."
Changyu kept talking to himself and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Looking at this elderly figure and gray hair, if he was scared to death by Pang Tong and became Wang Situ, then his work today would be in vain.
Liu Chan coughed twice and said: "The Sima in the rear is so virtuous and respected, how can we humiliate him with torture instruments and not remove these instruments of torture?"
Liu Chan's words were like rain falling from the desert, which almost moved Chang Yu to tears.
"Sir, I..."
He was originally going to capture Liu Chan, but he didn't expect that at this time, the person he wanted to capture was still speaking for him. This made him moved and guilty.
"I have no face to show off to others!"
Liu Chan stood up from his seat and walked slowly to Zhang Yu.
"Sir's name has long been heard in Zen. He has the art of prophecy. He knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. He knows everything about everything in the world. I am yearning for him."
He stepped forward to help Zhang Yu up and said, "Who is willing to kill someone as talented as Mr. Zhang?"
After helping Zhang Yu up, Liu Chan continued to perform.
"I have just investigated the rebellion. The mastermind is Tan Wei. This man is resentful of my father and knows my whereabouts, so he has delusional thoughts and commits rebellion. Mr. They were forced to be involved.”
That's right.
Now Changyu was about to cry.
I was really implicated, I was really forced.
He was doing well in Chengdu, but he was invited out by Tan Wei in the name of a banquet. As a result, he put a knife to his neck and threatened Tan Wei in the woods.
He was wronged!
rebellion?
Zhang Yu shouted in his heart: I did not rebel, I am also a victim!
Of course, when he said this, he did not expect that as soon as he learned that Liu Chan had left Chengdu, he would give this first-hand information to Tan Wei.
To say that he is not the mastermind may be okay, but to say that he is innocent is absolutely impossible.
"Young Master is wise, Young Master is wise!"
Zhang Bao curled his lips when he saw this scene, while Huang Chong slowly exhaled deep in his heart.
In fact, after all, Chang Yu is also a Shu native, and he and Huang Chong belong to the same local faction in Yizhou.
If Chang Yu is fine, that would naturally be the best.
"I feel really guilty for letting my husband suffer this setback."
Zhang Yu was so moved that he was about to shed tears. He saluted Liu Chan and said, "The old man is the one who feels guilty. The young master is wise. The young master is wise!"
"I know that your husband has a great talent, and I am very hungry for talents. Your prophecy skills are unparalleled in the world. I would like to set up a Chongwen Museum, where you can treat me as a guest and teach me the skills of prophecy. Do you think you can do it?"
Professor?
Zhang Yu was stunned.
He looked up at Liu Chan with a look of disbelief.
He was originally about to die, but after a short period of time, or because of the words of the young man in front of him, he is now becoming the master of the young master?
A hundred years after Liu Xuande, the young master will become the lord of Yizhou.
In other words, he may now become the teacher of the Lord of Yizhou.
What an honor this is, what a power this is.
Zhang Yu's throat was dry, but tears welled up in his eyes.
He immediately knelt down in front of Liu Chan, with his butt raised high and his head bowed so low that he wished he could bury himself in the dust, showing his humility.
"Being crazy and talented, I won the trust of the young master. This old and rotten body will be driven by the young master in the future. I will not regret it even if I die. I will help the young master one day to revive the Han Dynasty and kill Cao Cao's thieves!"
Good guy~
Old boy, you do know Liu Bei's ambition.
"Sir, please get up."
Liu Chan helped Zhang Yu up and sighed: "Sir, he is highly respected and well-connected in Yizhou, and I am very thirsty for talents. In the past few days, you can recommend some talented people to me to join the Chongwen Hall. Do you think so?" "
Recommend?
Enter the Chongwen Hall together?
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic!
He was dissatisfied with Liu Bei because there were too many people from the Jingzhou faction and Dongzhou scholars around Liu Bei, but there were not many native Yizhou people, so he was dissatisfied.
But now, the young master seems to be trying to win over...
Zhang Yu nodded heavily to Liu Chan.
"I know what the young master means. I will write a few letters right away to seek talents for the young master."
Liu Chan took Zhang Yu's hand enthusiastically and said, "If this can be done, that would be great."
