When Dongfang Jian heard that Tian Yu was outside the door, he quickly walked out without informing Tian Feng. When he arrived at the door, he saw a young man who was not tall and had a fair face. He looked no different from a weak scholar. He seemed to be waiting for something outside the door. He was calm and elegant. Although he was waiting outside the door, he did not show any impatience or desire to enter. There was only a quiet gaze. Dongfang Jian knew that this person was Tian Yu.
Tian Yu, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly saw a tall and handsome young man quickly walk out of the door. He quickly looked around without caring about his image, and his gaze finally landed on Tian Yu. Tian Yu knew that the person in front of him was none other than the person he was secretly observing-Dongfang Jian.
"Dare I ask, Mister is Tian Yu, Tian Guorang?”Dongfang Jian quickly stepped forward and asked, but his tone could not hide the excitement in his heart.
However, what Tian Yu did not expect was that Dongfang Jian would actually come out to welcome him personally, regardless of his status. This kind of courtesy really shocked Tian Yu. What was even more unexpected was that Dongfang Jian could actually call out his name. It was obvious that the other party had known him before. Although he, Tian Yu, was determined to display his talent for revenge, the heavens did not bless him. He had been running into walls everywhere and had not been put in an important position, causing him to have nowhere to display his talent and revenge.
Now, he was actually able to gain Dongfang Jian's attention. This made the young Tian Yu feel a sense of recognition for the first time in his life. At the same time, a sense of gratitude arose in his heart.
"Oh, it's Tian Yu. Have you heard of Tian Yu?" Tian Yu replied respectfully.
"I have long heard of Mister's name, but I have never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect to hear Yuan Hao say that there was a talented person named Tian Yu. I thought I was dreaming, but I didn't expect to meet Mister here.”After confirming Tian Yu's identity, the excitement and joy that could not be concealed were revealed on Dongfang Jian's face.
"Duke, you praise Tian Yu too much. Tian Yu is just a nameless scholar!”Tian Yu thought of his previous lack of talent and sighed with emotion.
"Sir, you're not saying that. It's just that those who didn't recognize your great talent previously. Once you meet a wise ruler, you will definitely become famous in the world!”Dongfang Jian immediately shook his head.
"You were too busy talking. Sir, please come in!”Dongfang Jian invited.
Furthermore, he even led Tian Yu into the mansion first. Tian Yu was overwhelmed by such courtesy. The Confucian thought of 'swearing to die for a confidante' exploded in Tian Yu's mind. This also made Tian Yu conscientious and conscientious in helping Dongfang Jian handle government affairs in the future, and he used all his wisdom to become one of Dongfang Jian's most indispensable assistants.
After the two of them entered the house and sat down, Dongfang Jian still avoided the important matter and said,""I don't know why Mister has come. Please enlighten me.”
"I also understand some of your matters. I swear to return to my homeland without fear of danger. I am deeply impressed by your righteousness. Now I heard that you will be in charge of Youzhou, so I have come to ask for your permission. I hope you can take me in!”Tian Yu stood up and bowed.
He had worn out his iron shoes and looked for it everywhere, but it didn't take much effort to get it! How could Dongfang Jian not be excited to receive Tian Yu's assistance?
"It's the sword's fortune and the people's fortune to be able to receive Mister's help in the future!”Dongfang Jian quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
"Thank you, my lord. I will do my best!”Tian Yu also said excitedly.
"Guorang, I'm afraid that the reason for this special alliance isn't just the reason that Mister said!”Dongfang Jian asked with a smile.
"My lord's guess is correct. Tian Yu had been in Zhuo County and had been observing the lord for several days.”Tian Yu answered truthfully.
"Guorang must be doing this to see if the sword is as good as Mister's eyes.”Dongfang Jian said with a smile.
"My lord is indeed powerful.”Tian Yu's face was slightly red, but he still admitted.
"Then, Guorang, the world is so big, and there are so many people who can recognize your talent. Why did you choose me, Dongfang Jian?”Dongfang Jian continued to ask.
"First of all, my lord never forgets the people and cares about them. Such a high sense of righteousness is the true famous ruler that Tian Yu is looking for. Secondly, Tian Yu was impressed by his lord's strategy of grasping the hearts of the people. Now that the natural disasters were rampant, a large number of people were displaced and homeless. Therefore, these large numbers of homeless commoners had become the greatest headache for the Emperor and the other feudal vassals in the world. Because of this, almost all the warlords were afraid of these commoners and were afraid of getting into trouble. However, they did not know that they had also lost their most precious hearts and minds because of this. However, the lord was different. Instead, he cared about the happiness of the people and shared weal and woe with them. Although it seemed extremely stupid to outsiders, it allowed the lord to win the hearts of the people and the people. It allowed the lord to have the most important factor in the future," human harmony." The lord had once said that anyone who entered Youzhou would be able to obtain land so that they could have a place to support themselves in their old age. This also made Zhong Tianyu understand that the lord was not only doing this for the common people, but also to pave the way for the future. The lord's goal was to let the commoners live a happy life again. In order to protect this hard-won achievement and resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the commoners would definitely join the army enthusiastically. This would allow the lord to easily have an even more critical advantage. The lord's long-term vision could not help but be amazed and shocked. Also, the severe test that the lord faced a few days ago-the food that the refugees lacked. Originally, Yu thought that even if the lord thought of a way, it would already be a matter of a few days. At that time, there might already be no way to turn the situation around. He lamented that the heavens did not wait for him! However, to his surprise, his lord dared to face the Zhuo County Governor directly without taking control of Youzhou. He had even laid an ambush for an army long ago. These made Yu sigh. The Lord's vision was far from what Yu could reach. Moreover, Tian Yu had seen the magnanimity and magnanimity of his lord to treat talents so courteously. There was really no reason for Tian Yu not to follow him to the death.”Finally, Tian Yu stood up and swore in front of Dongfang Jian.
The crisis that Dongfang Jian had faced before was gradually fading away. Now, not only did he have the brave generals like Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba, as well as the resourceful people like Tian Feng, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Zhong Yao, but he had also unexpectedly obtained the genius of internal affairs, Tian Yu, and the future commander of the three armies, Zhou Yu, and his father. One happy event after another came. As the saying goes, good fortune comes after bad times! Now, apart from Dongfang Jian, there were Tian Feng, Xun You, Jia Xu, Tian Yu, Zhou Yi, Zhong Yao, and Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and the others for the civil side. Dongfang Jian's team for conquering the world had taken shape.
The next day, the Zhou father and son, as well as Lu Bu, who Dongfang Jian had been waiting for a long time, arrived. This made Dongfang Jian happy. Because there were women, the journey was very slow. Dongfang Jian and the other two rode light horses and walked at a fast pace, so they were faster than the others.
That afternoon, before Dongfang Jian's joy had died down, Zhen Jiang and Lu Zhen arrived at Zhuo County under the escort of a large group of people. The two of them thought that Dongfang Jian was in Ji County, the territory of the Yan Kingdom. They did not expect to bump into him here. Their joy was even greater. If it were not for the fact that there were so many people watching them, they might have already thrown themselves into Dongfang Jian's arms. Even so, Dongfang Jian's affectionate gaze and a few soft greetings touched the two women for a long time.
That night, Dongfang Jian entertained everyone in the prefect's mansion of Zhuo County. During the banquet, Dongfang Jian announced that Zhou Yi would become the other driver of Youzhou (also known as the long history), Xun You would be the Sima of Youzhou, Zhong Yao would be the governor of Youzhou, Jia Xu would be the chief clerk, Tian Yu would be the clerk, and Tian Feng would be the inspector and the duty officer of Youzhou. In addition, because Dongfang Jian was also the general of the Northern Expedition, he had the right to appoint his subordinate officials. Lu Bu and Zhang Fei had already been granted the titles of Zhenwei General and Fenwei General by the Emperor, and their official positions were the highest among the people. Then, he appointed Zhang Liao as the commander of Zhechong, Gao Shun as the commander of the rebellion, Zang Ba as the general of Pingnan, Yan Liang as the commander of Huya, Wen Chou as the commander of Yingyang, Jia Xu as the commander of the left army, and Xun You as the commander of the army.
On the second day, the governors of Youzhou Prefecture arrived in Zhuo Prefecture one after another. There were a total of fifteen civil and military officials. Dongfang Jian held his first meeting in Youzhou after everyone had arrived.
Dongfang Jian looked at the Youzhou officials kneeling on both sides and said,""I'm very sorry for making everyone come all the way to Zhuo County. Jian was supposed to be in Yan Country's Ji County to receive everyone, but I met so many refugees on the first day I arrived here. For this reason, I stayed behind to help the disaster victims, because Jian had no choice but to take care of them. After all, they are still the people of my Han Dynasty. However, I didn't expect the former Zhuo County Mayor Luo Ming to be greedy and plunder the people's wealth. After knowing that I was here, he not only didn't help me to help the disaster victims, but also didn't help me to save the people. On the contrary, it was even more insulting to me to obstruct him. For the Emperor, for the Imperial Court, and for the people of Youzhou, I could only take him down and wait for his punishment. However, during these days, Zhong Jian was interrogated and found that he was so bold because he was entrusted by someone to make things difficult for me. As for who it was, I think you should know. Additionally, Governor Luo told me that he was not the only one who had received such an order. Many officials like him and even junior officials had also received such an order to obstruct my ruling in Youzhou Province. I wonder if that's the case!”
Other than a few innocent people, most of the people present were pale. If one looked carefully, one could see that there were beads of sweat on their foreheads. It was obvious that they were very afraid. It should be known that Zhuo County had long been controlled by Dongfang Jian. It could be said that everyone here was meat in Dongfang Jian's hands. He could eat them however he wanted. Therefore, these people couldn't help but curse Luo Ming in their hearts.
At this moment, someone came out and said," Provincial Governor, we're all furious about the scum Luo Ming in Youzhou Province. However, I, Wu Yuan, am the first one to oppose his testimony. Although I don't dare to say that I love the people like my own son, I dare to pat my chest and say that I've lived up to my conscience as an official."”
When the remaining people heard Wu Yuan's words, they all stepped forward to criticize Luo Ming. At the same time, they sang praises for themselves, afraid that Dongfang Jian would include them as Luo Ming's accomplices. As for whether they were real or fake, Dongfang Jian knew in his heart, but he knew that it was not the time to pursue them. After all, he did not have so many talents to replace them. However, he had made up his mind that once he had someone in his hands, he would first deal with these few people who were the loudest. Dongfang Jian watched as these people performed to their heart's content. At the same time, he also noticed the few people who did not move. They were sitting on their knees expressionlessly, looking coldly at these people who were acting like clowns. No one knew what they were thinking. Dongfang Jian thought highly of these people. They might not have participated, but they might have participated but pretended to be calm. Regardless of whether they had colluded with these people or not, their current performance was worthy of praise. Dongfang Jian looked at the handsome middle-aged man sitting on the first seat on the right. He had a murderous look on his face. Dongfang Jian knew that this person was Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan could have chosen not to come, but Dongfang Jian was not only the governor of Youzhou but also the general of the northern expedition, so he could control him. While Dongfang Jian was observing Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan was also observing the man who was praised by the Emperor as a role model for the Great Han Dynasty.
Dongfang Jian interrupted them and looked at them coldly. They did not dare to look Dongfang Jian in the eye. They immediately lowered their heads the moment they made contact, as if they had seen something terrifying in Dongfang Jian's eyes. Dongfang Jian said slowly," I understand your intentions. I also thought that Luo Ming was just trying to achieve the goal of not punishing the masses. However, I saw your performance just now and was delighted. I know that you are not the kind of people who are greedy for money and forget righteousness. You will not disappoint the Emperor's high hopes for money." Therefore, this matter ended here, and the sword no longer asked.”When Dongfang Jian said that he would not ask anymore, most of the people present secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Dongfang Jian looked at their expressions and laughed secretly.""However, Luo Ming took bribes and perverted the law. He obstructed the superior officer from attempting to murder him. He was executed according to the Great Han law.”When everyone heard this, they had thought that there would be a follow-up, but they hadn't expected it to be Zhan Luoming. They were all very happy that as long as it wasn't their fault, the lives of others didn't matter to them. they were all beheaded.
Dongfang Jian saw a hint of fear in everyone's eyes as they looked at him. Dongfang Jian knew that he had succeeded in establishing his authority, and it would be very convenient for him to instruct them to do things in the future. Therefore, Dongfang Jian took advantage of this opportunity to suggest that the refugees be settled in various counties. None of the mayors wanted to offend Dongfang Jian at this critical juncture, so they agreed.
After that, Dongfang Jian proposed to gather and train the soldiers of Youzhou and introduced Zhang Fei and the others to the generals. Everyone understood that this was to remove the military power of the generals. As the general of the northern expedition, Dongfang Jian had the right to change the commander of the army under his command. Looking at the fully armed soldiers outside the door and Lu Bu and the others standing behind Dongfang Jian, they knew that if they disagreed, they would be killed.
Everyone saw that the situation here was stronger than the people, so they all agreed to hand over the power in their hands and bring the troops to Ji County for unified reorganization. Of course, Gongsun Zan was an exception among these people, because his official position was the general of the Wuhuan who was independent of Youzhou. In terms of position, he could be said to be on the same level as the Youzhou Provincial Governor. Although the General of the Northern Expedition had power, he had to inform the imperial court, so Dongfang Jian did not touch him. Gongsun Zan also knew that Dongfang Jian could not touch him, so he sat there in peace. However, he felt that Dongfang Jian was looking at him with an ambiguous gaze, which made him feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that he had to go back and discuss it with his strategists, Gongsun Zan thought.
After saying that, Dongfang Jian brought everyone to the execution ground to watch Luo Ming's execution. Since Dongfang Jian had spread the news of Luo Ming's execution, many people had gathered on the execution ground, most of them refugees.
It only took Luo Ming's prison van about ten minutes to get to the execution ground, but he didn't expect it to take more than an hour. On the way, people threw everything they could at Luo Ming. When they reached the execution ground, Luo Ming was already on his last breath.
After killing Luo Mingchu, the crowd shouted,"Master Dongfang is wise" and "Long live Master Dongfang". The shouts were really loud. When the officials who arrived at the scene saw the huge crowd, their faces were very pale. He looked at Dongfang Jian with respect.
Dongfang Jian looked at the cries of the crowd and the eyes of the officials. Dongfang Jian knew that he had succeeded in establishing his prestige because the people's hearts were on his side.
