Chapter 106 He Jin Trading
Zhao Lei waited in the hall for about an hour, and Zhang Rang finally came out from the back hall, holding the imperial decree in his hand.It seems that writing this edict made Zhang Rang think for a long time.

"General Zhao, do you feel satisfied with writing this way? Tomorrow, I will go down the lake with your Majesty, how about I read this imperial decree when I go to court the day after tomorrow?" Zhang Rang showed the imperial decree to Zhao Lei, and the jade seal was stamped on it. .Zhao Lei read each word above carefully, for fear of any negligence.

After reading it, Zhao Lei smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhang is so straightforward, I'm not ambiguous. I promise you, after the new emperor ascends the throne, I will help you stabilize the situation in Luoyang, and then go to Yangzhou." Zhao Lei laughed.

"Okay, that's it." Zhang Rang sneered.While Zhang Rang was talking, he thought in his heart: This kid dares to negotiate with me?After I take control of the military power in Jizhou, I won't need you anymore, and you will naturally die to go to Yangzhou.

Zhao Lei took over the imperial decree and handed over the official seal of the governor of Jizhou to Zhang Rang, and today's transaction was successfully completed.

Now that the things to be done have been done, Zhao Lei quickly left Zhang Rang's mansion.When he went out, he ran back to the barracks without saying a word, even daring to go back to the general's mansion first.For fear of being watched on the road, the imperial decree in his hand is not visible now.

"My lord, you don't really want to help Zhang Rang, do you?" Cheng Yu didn't dare to ask because he was afraid that the walls might have ears.So as soon as he arrived at the barracks, he hurriedly asked Zhao Lei.

"Mr. Cheng, how do you think I should handle this matter?" Zhao Lei did not answer Cheng Yu, but asked him instead.

"My lord, the current Holy Majesty is in the prime of his life, how can he say that he died immediately? How long will we have to wait? And if we help Zhang Rang in this way, I am afraid that he will get rid of us after he succeeds." !” Cheng Yu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, from the moment I got the imperial decree, I have no intention of helping Zhang Rang at all." Zhao Lei laughed.

"But, my lord, didn't you agree to Zhang Rang just now?" Cheng Yu asked strangely.

"I said Zhongde, why should you keep your word with this kind of eunuch?" Zhao Lei laughed.

Cheng Yu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the lord never thought of helping Zhang Rang at all! Hehe, this subordinate is worrying too much. Then when is the lord going to leave Luoyang?"

"Mr. Cheng, don't worry. Now that we have obtained the imperial decree to appoint the governor of Yangzhou, our mission in Luoyang this time has been completed. So, let's wait and watch the show!" Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"Watching a play? Your subordinates are dull and don't know what the lord means?" Cheng Yu said.

"Hehe, just wait and see the good show!" Zhang Han also echoed, he seemed to understand Zhao Lei's intention.

In the military camp, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Zhao Yun didn't understand what kind of riddle Zhao Lei and Zhang Han were playing, and they didn't know what they were going to do.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhao Lei said again: "I haven't said anything yet, I will tell everyone when the plan is about to be realized. Anyway, everyone is just watching the show, haha!"

Everyone was at a loss.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's go to bed earlier!" Zhao Lei smiled, and stopped the crowd from gossiping, and drove them back to sleep.

It was late at night, and Zhao Lei's room in the General's Mansion was still brightly lit. Zhang Han took a sip of tea and said to Zhao Lei, "Xiao Lei, isn't it risky to bet like this? If history really changes, He Jin didn't kill the ten permanent servants. What if Dong Zhuo was not called to the capital? Then we have to fall to Zhang Rang's side."

"It's not easy. We can drive He Jin and Shi Changshi apart and let them fight. In this way, history will still happen." Zhao Lei said.

"Going to He Jin's mansion tomorrow, I think He Jin also wants to win you over?" Zhang Han asked again.

"That's for sure. And I can just use this opportunity to drive a wedge between He Jin and Shi Changshi." Zhao Lei said.

Zhang Han smiled and said: "I don't think we need to separate, they can already fight."

Zhang Han took another sip of tea, changed the subject, and sighed:
"Luoyang is indeed not a place to live for a long time. Dragons and snakes are mixed together. In just one day, we have become the focus of all forces."

"Yeah! Not only have we become the focus, but now all forces want to win me over, and they all covet my military power! I think that's why He Jin recruited me. So I can just use He Jin and Zhang Rang They all want to win over me, to provoke them, and to realize my own intentions." Zhao Lei said.

"I know your intention." Zhang Han said with a smile.

"As expected of my brother, tell me to take a look." Zhao Lei said.

"I think you should understand very well in your heart that even if you become the governor of Yangzhou, you will not be well-known if you rely on the imperial decree of this white paper. On the contrary, if we help He Jin get rid of the ten permanent servants, then This is the condition for exchanging Yangzhou, I think you will have a lot of smooth sailing when you control Yangzhou." Zhang Han said with a smile.

"No, you're only half right. In fact, I want to design this plan completely according to the historical entry into the city." Zhao Lei said.

Zhang Han was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's beyond my expectation, I thought you wouldn't dare to kill He Jin!" Zhang Han said.

"I'm not what I used to be. I won't be indecisive, benevolent and conservative anymore. For me now, of course I hope that history can develop normally as stated in the history books, so that I can use the advantages of our time travelers to seek benefits. So He Jin and Zhang Rang must die." Zhao Lei said harshly.

"Haha, I don't think He Jin is the one who messed up the world, but you." Zhang Han laughed.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment." Zhao Lei laughed.

"Besides, this is a long-term plan. I think we have to stay in Luoyang for at least one or two months now. Taking advantage of this time, we can make some preparations for our trip to Yangzhou!" Zhang Han said.

"Didn't I already send many people to take root in Wujun, Yangzhou?" Zhao Lei asked strangely.

"Please, I mean economically and politically," Zhang Han said.

"Economics? Politically?"

"Yangzhou is located on the edge of the coast. Compared with the counties in the Central Plains, Yangzhou is not as rich economically. Moreover, many ordinary people are not accustomed to being kings, and they don't know much about the legal system such as the constitutional monarchy. We will definitely encounter difficulties when we manage it. Since these problems exist, shouldn’t we take some Luoyang merchants and some literati to Yangzhou when we leave Luoyang?”

Zhang Han whitened Zhao Lei's face, and continued: "There are many wealthy businessmen in Luoyang. If we can take some of them to Yangzhou, we will be able to revitalize the economy there. Because we will develop in Yangzhou in the future, and we can't do anything without money. The businessmen brought The mobile economy can make Yangzhou rich, and it will be much easier for us to develop. And those literati are also very important. We must use these literati to promote our ruling ideas and make the people support us. This cannot be ignored.”

"Well, I admit that you are better than me in Mao Gai's class. I never thought about these things at all, haha!" Zhao Lei laughed.

"Go to hell!" Zhang Han said dismissively.

"In short, let's settle He Jin's affairs tomorrow. This is the most important thing. In fact, I think that although He Jin is a butcher, he is quite politically minded and knows how to gain a foothold in Luoyang." Zhang Han continued.

"He has been in the imperial court for so many years. He has a good relationship with people, and he is a showman in the officialdom. Naturally, he followed the vines, and practice makes perfect." Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered a very important thing, we almost forgot." Zhang Han suddenly shouted.

"What's the matter? You're yelling, it's so late, don't wake up the others!" Zhao Lei said.

"Have you forgotten the Yuan Feng who smiled at you today? Is his nephew Yuan Hong still in our hands? Shouldn't we give someone an explanation?" Zhang Han asked.

Zhao Lei was shocked, and said, "I'm going to die. If you don't tell me, I really forgot. I was confused by He Jin and Zhang Rang today. This matter really needs to be dealt with immediately." Zhao Lei said.

"I think after going to He Jin's mansion tomorrow, you have to go to Taiwei's mansion in person! Yuan's family officials are all over the world, so it's better not to offend them." Zhang Han said.

"Okay." Zhao Lei said.
