Chapter 38
After all, the post house of the eldest son could not accommodate Liu Bian and his party of 2000 people, so Zhang Yang had to prepare two adjacent big houses in advance, and connect them into one by breaking through the walls.On one side lived all civil and military officials and their families.On one side, Li Xianzhong led [-] Imperial Forest Army to defend Liu Bian, Empress Tang Wan, and Empress Dowager He.

Inside a study room, Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi stood outside the door like an iron tower.In the room, before Liu Bianduan sat the case, Li Xianzhong followed behind him.

Opposite Liu Bian was Shi A who had been away for three days after being ordered to form Jinyiwei.

"Shi A, tell me about your situation, and how are you doing with the mission?" Liu Bian said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I came to the eldest son city for two days. On the first day, I took your majesty's money and led a hundred rangers to subdue a group of street people in the city with thunderbolts. These people include thieves, beggars, and rascals. I first killed a few disobedient ones, and after buying them with money, these people can be used by me."

"As for the task, I basically found out the situation of the officials in the eldest son city based on the information provided by these people. Although I used some shady methods, I still let these officials obey me! Zhang Yang was able to welcome His Majesty into the city. Admonishment from officials!" Shi A said with a smile.

"The foundation of Jinyiwei, including its intelligence, comes from these street people. You have done a good job in this, but please remember that these people cannot be reused. They can't know. In addition, when choosing Jinyiwei, you must be cautious. Clean background, loyalty, quick mind, etc. are all indispensable!" Liu Bian warned.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I must choose carefully, and I will never make up for it!" Shi A clasped his hands.

"Well, now that Zhang Yang welcomes me into the city, the second step of the plan can be carried out. You must be careful!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it now!" Shi A bowed his hands and took the order to leave.

"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to do so? Why can't Zhang Yang be subdued?" Behind Liu Bian, Li Xianzhong frowned.

"Would a powerful official in the frontier be willing to be subdued? Let alone be subdued by a troubled emperor like me? Zhang Yang is incompetent. You have seen it all the way. Shangdang is governed by him like this. He eats meat all at once, but the people eat tree bark and grass roots. For this alone, he deserves to die! Even if he submits to me, he is capable, but he is incompetent! What status should I give him? Too tall, he is not worthy , you don’t accept it, low, he refuses to accept it, sooner or later disaster will arise!”

"Besides, Zhang Yang and Lu Bu are on good terms. Shi A has found out that Lu Bu has sent a letter to Zhang Yang, telling him to arrest me immediately if he sees me! I just don't want his officials to be controlled by Shi A, and they basically support me. Yes! He can’t welcome me into the city because of public outrage, otherwise he would have led troops to round us up long ago!”

"Zhang Yang thought that he would respect me. With the [-] troops in his hands, I would rely on him very much. It was a good move. No matter whether he respected me or Liu Xie, he would not suffer from the two choices! "

"But he didn't expect that his every move has long been under my surveillance. According to people's hearts, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Yang's doing so. The fault lies in his incompetence! Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty! Zhang Yang is incompetent, It is a crime to have Shangdang, a piece of fat with a [-]-strong army!"

"What I want now is a territory for complete dominance, and an army that has been completely obeying my orders! In troubled times, use extraordinary means! This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. My kindness is for the people. If you have a kind character, I will become someone else's fat one day! And I believe that under my rule, Bingzhou and Shangdang, the people will live a much better life than under Zhang Yang's rule!" Liu Bian vowed.

Li Xianzhong listened to Liu Bian's words, nodded his head and said: "It's because I'm stupid, and I also believe that His Majesty will manage the big men well, and the people will live well!"

Li Xianzhong has no doubts about this at all. An emperor who is willing to share weal and woe with his soldiers, does not put on airs, even if he is not good at politics, he can manage the people well by relying on civil servants.

What's more, Liu Biancai is only fourteen, so he has such a great talent and strategy, and there is still a lot of room for growth. When he grows up in the future, his governance will definitely be top-notch.

Moreover, from Liu Bian, Li Xianzhong felt a kind of approachable atmosphere from the bottom of his heart, His Majesty's eyes seemed to be kind to everyone.There is no general aristocratic family, the kind of ant-like thinking towards the common people.

Only His Majesty can make the people live well!Li Xianzhong thought in his heart. "Your Majesty, I will swear to help His Majesty to unify the great man! Remove all obstacles!"

Liu Bian smiled when he heard the words, knowing that Li Xianzhong had figured it out, and said, "I won't let you down either!"

"By the way, hurry up and get ready, Zhang Yang should be doing it soon!" Liu Bian smiled strangely.

On the other hand, Shi A also started to be attracted.

In the study of a Shangdang official, a tall, middle-aged man stood in the shadows.The voice was a little hoarse: "Now, go and persuade Zhang Yang, tell him to switch to Dong Zhuo, and arrest Liu Bian immediately!"

"Yes, my lord, please, after the matter is completed, can my lord keep his promise and let my child go!" the official said dejectedly.

"Don't worry, after the matter is completed, a certain family will release your child and recommend you to the grand master! Originally, General Lu had written to Zhang Yang, asking him to arrest Liu Bian, but he had a wicked heart and no courage. Don't dare, I have no choice but to make a bad move! Don't worry, after the matter is completed, Zhang Yang's position will be yours!" The black-clothed man said quietly.

Hearing these words, the officials immediately had their brains wide open. Dong Zhuo originally ordered the man in front of him to assist Zhang Yang and arrest Liu Bian, but Zhang Yang didn't dare to take any action.This adult had no choice but to arrest our officials' children, let us persuade Zhang Yang and welcome Liu Bian into the city?

Zhang Yang had no choice but to welcome Liu Bian into the city, and now the lord wants us to persuade Zhang Yang to kill Liu Bian?Is he really Dong Zhuo's man?It seems that the adult in front of me is very dissatisfied with Zhang Yang's behavior. As long as I behave well, this adult will help me to beautify me, and maybe I can really be a prefect!

The officials of Shangdang burst into ecstasy, and swore: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely assist you to complete the task!"

"Well, it's good, it's more courageous than Zhang Yang, so just in case, I will follow you closely, you! If Zhang Yang makes a mistake, I will do it myself! Now you go to Zhang Yang and let him arrest you Liu Bian!" The adult said in a deep voice.

In Zhang Yang's mansion, Zhang Yang looked at the officials of His Royal Highness with a gloomy expression.

"Before, you asked me to welcome His Majesty into the city, but now that His Majesty has entered the city, you want me to arrest him and dedicate him to Dong Zhuo. Wouldn't it be that I am being disloyal?" Zhang Yang shouted in a deep voice.

"My lord, it's not that my subordinates don't understand my lord's loyalty, but I want to protect my lord's life!" an official cupped his hands.

"Yes, my lord, Liu Bian, I also met my lord today, and he seems quite dissatisfied with my lord. We eat meat every day, which is very normal, but he just took it out on us because of those untouchables!"

"Is this Liu Bian's wise man? Or is this an excuse, an excuse to take the lord's prefect position? Use the lord's ineffective governance of the Shangdang as an excuse to remove the lord's official position!"

Listening to the analysis of the ministers, I thought of Liu Bian's eyes full of killing intent earlier.Zhang Yang couldn't help shivering, his face became frightened.It seems that Liu Bian is really going to kill me and seize power!

"My lord, why don't you wait for Liu Bian to attack the lord first, and capture him first. He still has the jade seal of Chuanguo in his hand. It must be a great contribution for the lord to present the jade seal to Luoyang!" Followed in the study just now. The Shangdang official of the middle-aged adult advised him.

"That's what I said, but when Feng Xian sent me a letter, he said that Liu Bian had Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi under his command, so I must be careful! With them around, how can I impress Liu Bian?" Zhang Yang was quite moved. But he was afraid of Yang Zaixing, who was as powerful as Lu Bu.

"My lord, I heard that Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi were seriously injured in the First Battle of Luoyang, and Yang Zaixing was shot into a hedgehog. Tall and mighty, but absolutely impossible to be Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi!"

The official of the Shangdang Party spoke so remonstrantly, but in his heart he was extremely contemptuous of Zhang Yang: "What your lord said just now is indeed true. Lu Bu approached him before, but Zhang Yang was timid and afraid to do anything! Hmph, it seems that waiting for this time After this is done, I'm not far off to the top!"

In the hall, Zhang Yang heard this remark, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he ordered: "Okay, my lords will accompany me, and I will send people to gather [-] elite soldiers, surround Liu Bian's mansion, capture them and present them in Luoyang!"
