Chapter six hundred and fifty first question
"Huang Hao?" Liu Yi looked at the imperial envoy with some surprise and smiled: "Sit down, what do you have to come here in person?"
Huang Hao is Liu Chan's close servant. Generally, Liu Chan passed orders to generals who went out to fight and could not let Huang Hao come in person, so Liu Yi was a little surprised.
"Sikong was joking. I was just a eunuch. What does Your Majesty ask me to do? I naturally have to do it well." Huang Hao bowed to Liu Yi and said.
"Okay, I'm preparing to go back to Hanoi recently. Bingzhou will be able to be taken down early next year." Liu Yi said with a smile.
In terms of record, Liu Yi's side is actually not bad. Not only did he win Hanoi, but Bingzhou has basically won all of them besides Yanmen.
"It's not this." Huang Hao said seriously: "It's about the Shangshu Li Yan."
"Hmm?" Liu Yi looked at Huang Hao after hearing this.
"Sikong, don't misunderstand." Huang Hao waved his hand quickly and said, "Originally, although Li Yan was defeated, he would not be severely punished. However, this time Li Yan intended to bribe his servants and even wanted to frame Sikong. Although he was humble, he knew that Sikong was loyal and righteous, so he specially handed Li Yan's letter to His Majesty."
Liu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was a little confused about what Huang Hao sold in the gourd, so he continued to remain silent.
"Your Majesty discussed with the ministers three days ago. Li Yan was defeated and did not regret it. Instead, he intended to frame the important officials. Therefore, Your Majesty had ordered the detention of the three tribes of Li Yan. As for Li Yan, it would be handed over to Sikong to execute himself." Huang Hao bowed quickly and said.
From this point of view, we can also see how hard Li Yan is to be a human being on weekdays. No one in the court's civil and military affairs spoke for him.
"The three tribes have passed." Liu Yi frowned and took the bamboo slips handed over by Huang Hao. This was a letter written by Li Yan to Huang Hao. After a moment of silence, he said: "I'll just ask Huang Zhongchang to treat me a letter to Your Majesty. Li Yan's crimes should be severely punished, but the disaster will not be as good as his wife and children. If the disaster will last, the three tribes will be spared."
"Here!" Huang Hao agreed quickly and said, "I wonder what Sikong is going to deal with Li Yan?"
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Although Li Yan was defeated, he would not die." Liu Yi's eyes fell on the bamboo slips and said after a moment of silence: "But when you frame me at this time, you will die more. His clan can be exempted from being punished, but he will kill him to serve as a warning to others. However, this matter should be handled by the court."
It is time to understand new and old hatreds, but some things cannot be overruled.
"This is your majesty's edict!" Huang Hao quickly handed the edict to Liu Yi and said, "Your Majesty said that in order to vent the anger of the three armies, he should kill him before the three armies to serve as a warning. Sikong should rest assured."
"Okay, I'll do it when I go back." After Liu Yi confirmed that there was no problem with the edict, he nodded, put it away, and did not hand it back to Huang Hao: "I happened to go back to Hanoi, can Huang Zhongchang go with me? Just in time, the killing of Li Yan will be supervised by Huang Zhongchang himself."
"No, I still have to report to His Majesty Chang'an Township, so it's not convenient to stay." Huang Hao waved his hand quickly, stood up and said goodbye, "Sikong walked slowly, I will say goodbye first."
"Boyue, send someone to escort Huang Zhongchang." Liu Yi nodded and said.
"Here!" Jiang Wei agreed and attracted two personal guards to escort Huang Hao away.
"Governor, are there any problems?" Jiang Wei looked at Liu Yi and said.
"There is no problem with the edict. Huang Hao is not so brave enough to tamper with the edict. Even if there is a problem, I have something to say when I get this edict in front of His Majesty." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "But Huang Hao seems to want Li Yan to die, which is a bit strange."
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "After all, Li Yan wrote a letter to Huang Hao at this time, which means that Li Yan is sure that Huang Hao will help him."
"The affairs of Yanmen should be handled according to the strategy formulated before, so hurry up, but Boyue must remember that after occupying Yanmen, don't attack Youzhou easily. First train troops, recruit troops, and settle down in Bingzhou. I will call on Your Majesty to send someone to take over as soon as possible. When the time is ripe, I will send someone to inform you and agree on the day of the general attack!" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Wei solemnly. He did not want another big defeat.
Although there were twists and turns in this battle, the general situation was decided, and it was only a matter of time before the annexation of Cao Wei.
"Don't worry, Governor!" Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Is this going to go back to Hanoi?"
"Well, this is over. I want to see Li Yan." Liu Yi nodded. Huang Hao's attitude made Liu Yi suspicious, afraid that Li Yan was not holding the other party's handle, which made Huang Hao unable to wait to execute Li Yan after cheating Li Yan.
"I'll send the governor!" Seeing that Liu Yi was about to leave, Jiang Wei quickly stood up and said.
"No need to send it away. Remember to be careful about the matter between Yanmen. Remember, on the battlefield, the coach cannot be a hero. As surrender is like being attacked!" Liu Yi did not forget to give in to his advice before leaving.
"Don't worry, Governor." Jiang Wei said with a wry smile.
Liu Yi then got on the carriage and asked Pang Hui and Ma Qiu to lead the troops back, while he took his personal guards back to Hanoi.
There was nothing to say all the way. When he returned to Hanoi, Wei Yan had already led his army to leave. Deng Ai was in charge of the military. When he saw Liu Yi coming back, he hurried out to greet him, and Li Yan was also accompanying him.
"Take it!" Liu Yi came out of the carriage, with a cold expression. With an order, E Huan, who had already received his instructions, stepped forward and kicked Li Yan down without waiting for Li Yan to react.
"Sikong, what's the point?" Li Yan was shocked and angry, wanting to resist, but how strong E Huan was? Although he was also skilled in martial arts, he flew away from E Huan's opponent. As he spoke, a personal guard had already stepped forward to tie him tightly.
"Go back first." Liu Yi waved his hand, signaling everyone to scatter, and ordered E Huan to take Li Yan away.
"Governor, this..." Deng Ai looked at Liu Yi with some concern. Although Li Yan had done so, he was an important official of the dynasty and could not be lynched.
"I have something to ask Li Yan personally for the imperial edict, and I will tell you later." Liu Yi shook his head and signaled that it was okay. After someone took Li Yan into his tent, E Huan was allowed to stay outside the door, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.
"Sikong!" Li Yanran looked at Liu Yi and said, "You don't have the qualifications!"
"Now it's there." Liu Yi opened Liu Chan's edict and put it to Li Yan for him.
"This..." Li Yan's face turned pale in an instant.
Liu Yi took out the bamboo slips that Huang Hao gave him, and asked Li Yan to look at them and said, "Sometimes I really don't understand. You and I don't have much interest in you, but I remember that since Hanzhong, you have started to target various things in secret. I really want to ask now, where did you provoke you?"
"Sikong really doesn't know?" Li Yan looked a little pale, looked at Liu Yi and said with a slutty smile.
"Because I am more valued by the court than you?" Liu Yi frowned.
"Because you are not worthy of your position!" Li Yansenran said.
"To put it bluntly, is it just a birth?" Liu Yi smiled. This is really unreasonable. Some people just think they are superior and determine heroes by their origins. That's nothing to talk about. Moreover, Liu Yi knows that there are countless such people in the world.
"The most important thing is that you have ulterior motives, printing techniques, academy, and others may not be able to see it, but you are repelling scholars step by step..." Li Yan was a little excited, as if he had seen the truth of the matter.
"I have never rejected scholars. In addition, I have saved the lives of your three tribes!" Liu Yi interrupted Li Yan's words.
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't say anything at all. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Is this repaying grievances with kindness?"
"No." Liu Yi shook his head: "You have targeted me for more than ten years with such ridiculous reasons. Now that it is in my hands, you are dead. I just feel that it should not harm your wife and children. People like us are not as profound as you, but they also know that life is precious."
Li Yan twitched a few times, and finally sighed: "Thank you."
"Don't be busy with thanks for some things, I want to ask you." Liu Yi spread the bamboo slips open, looked at Li Yan and frowned, "Although you are narrow-minded, you are a smart person. With your personality, if you don't have enough confidence, you wouldn't have written a letter to Huang Hao, do you have the handle of Huang Hao?"
"Sikong's eyes are as sharp as a torch!" Li Yan sighed and nodded silently. No matter how he looked down on Liu Yi, he could plead for his tribe members at this time, and Li Yan really couldn't say anything harsh.
"Can you give it to me?" Liu Yi looked at Li Yan and asked.
"May Sikong save me? If Yan can be saved, he will follow Sikong in this life!" Li Yan suddenly looked at Liu Yi and said with a bright look.
"No." Liu Yi looked at Li Yan and said lightly: "Save your tribe members because I don't want innocent people to suffer, but killing you is for grudges. You are different from Huang Hao. You are not a villain, but you are not a gentleman. I don't believe you. As for Huang Hao, at least for now, I have no conflict with him."
Li Yan was a little bitter, but he didn't beg for mercy again. Although Liu Yi's tone was plain, the more he did, the less hope he would be. Liu Yi was not the kind of person who acted emotionally. He killed himself, obviously because he had matured after weighing the pros and cons. After all, the grudges between the two sides were accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit in the past decade. Li Yan himself didn't believe in such a thing as "removing grudges with a smile".
"Sikong is begging me, but is anyone begging others like this?" Li Yan suddenly sneered.
"I didn't ask you. If you were willing to say it, I naturally heard that Huang Hao was not qualified to pay the price. If his evidence of crime was really investigated, it should not be difficult to collect." Liu Yi looked at the rope tied to Li Yan's body: "As for loosening... you know, I'm afraid of death. What should I do if you start a sudden attack at this time, assassinate me?"
Li Yan was so angry that he looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sikong was also a person who once captured the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu alive. Why are he so afraid of death?"
"Everyone is afraid of death, don't say you are not afraid." Liu Yi frowned and said, "A commander of the three armies who are not afraid of death is a disaster for an army!"
Li Yan was silent. This was the first time he heard someone say that fear of death was so fresh and refined, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed that it made sense.
"What are my benefits?" Li Yan finally sighed and asked.
"I will make you die with dignity."
"Can the beheadings in front of the three armies be even more despicable?"
"Yes, for example, let no one in the army spit on you, or let you starve for a few days before you die... There are all kinds of torture methods in Xing Prison. Try it on you and then kill it again. You think..."
"I said!"
