Chapter 570 Qingzhou Tian Kai
The next morning, Tian Feng was escorted down by a team of guards and headed for Qingzhou.
At the same time, another group of people also left Luoyang City at the same time and went in the direction of Hebei. The purpose of this party was to go to Hebei to worship the late Yuan Shao. At the same time, they announced the canonization of Yuan Shao as the king of Xindu to assist Lv Bu's joint governance. However, Yuan Shao's two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are currently fighting in Youzhou. He couldn't hold on. The purpose of this pedestrian is to make the struggle between the two more fierce. At the same time, he took this opportunity to evaluate the power of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi and inquire about the news of Lv Bu's army's Northern Expedition. The leader of this pedestrian is no one else, but Zhen Hu, who once helped Lv Bu take down Ye City's parents.
A few days later, when Tian Feng came to Qingzhou, he saw a group of people waiting in front of him from afar. Although the number of these people was not large, they were dressed in Han's official uniforms and looked very formal.
"Ha ha, I have long heard that Mr. Tian Feng is coming to our Qingzhou, and I have been waiting here for many days." Seeing Tian Feng and his party coming, an old man came out of the crowd and hurried forward happily.
Although this person claims to be low, he is quite old and has a high status in Qingzhou. This person is not someone else, but Kong Rong, the Taishou of the North Sea.
"How dare you have Kong Beihai to welcome you here? It's really embarrassing." As a messenger of the Han Dynasty, Tian Feng was not modest to say this. You should know that Kong Rong has long been a famous prince in the world, and Tian Feng was just a down-and-out scribe. Although he was treated by Lv Bu, Tian Feng always felt that it was a shameful thing to surrender to Lv Bu after Yuan Shao's failure. At the beginning, he could not stop Yuan. The war between Shao and Lv Bu led to Yuan Shao's defeat, and finally took Yuan Shao's life.
"Sir is modest. He is a messenger of the imperial court, and he can't be treated in general. Originally, Tian Kaishi was going to come to greet him in person, but he was haunted by common things in the state and county, so he was sent here. I also hope that the messenger will forgive me. Seeing Tian Feng like this, Kong Rong continued to say.
It turned out that after learning that Tian Feng was going to come to Qingzhou, Tian Kai asked Kong Rong to discuss it together. Now that Yuan Shao has passed away, he left his two sons and can't hold on to each other. Not long ago, both of them sent messengers to ask Qingzhou to be loyal to them. However, Tian Kai and Kong Rong are both smart people. Naturally, they can see it clearly and know that Yuan's foundation will be annexed by Lv Bu in the near future, so they have a different idea. They want to contact Lv Bu and look forward to being able to invest under Lv Bu's command and get proper resettlement, that is, they can preserve their wealth and at the same time avoid taking care of Qingzhou. The disaster of swords and soldiers must be that with the strength of Qingzhou, it can't exist alone in troubled times. It's better to find a strong backer.
"Oh, I, Tian Feng, am just a bereaved dog. It has been a crime to have Lao Kong Beihai. How dare you work to assassinate Tian Kai? What should I do? In fact, my intention this time must be very clear to Kong Beihai. I don't know what Kong Beihai thinks?" Tian Feng didn't want to lie in front of Kong Rong, so he asked directly. Although Tian Feng took this job in front of Lv Bu in order to avoid the disaster of the knife handle in Qingzhou, Tian Feng must have been under Yuan Shao for many years and is also familiar with the situation in Qingzhou. He knows that Qingzhou has no strength to resist Lv Bu in any case, but everyone has their own aspirations. Although he is a kind heart, he does not want Kong Rong. Tian Kai, like himself, became a minister of subjugated country.
"Well, as the saying goes, the times make heroes, Lv Bu can have today's climate, not only Lv Bu's own hard work, but also God's will. Strong as strong as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, have been defeated by Lv Bu one by one. What can ordinary people like us do? It's just up to fate, not to mention the well-being of the people of Qingzhou as a bet. I, Kong Rong, really don't want to. After listening to Tian Feng's words, Kong Rong sighed and said slowly. It turned out that Kong Rong did not have a different mind, but current affairs are better than people. At this time, Lv Bu's general trend has become, and it is no longer Tian Kai Kong Rong's generation who wants to deal with it.
"Well, Kong Beihai must have known about Lv Bu abolishing the authority of the emperor and forcing him to make himself the regent. Don't you have any idea?" Kong Rong must have been an old man of the Han Dynasty. Tian Feng did not believe that he had no deep feelings for the Han Dynasty and did not touch the current plight of Emperor Xian, so he said.
"I've heard about these things. I just hate being powerless. Even if I raise the soldiers of Qingzhou, what can I do? What's more, the change of dynasties has its own destiny. How can Lv Bu change it? Speaking of this, Kong Rong suddenly looked at Tian Feng with strange eyes before turning the topic and said, "Isn't the purpose of this trip to come to Qingzhou to persuade him to surrender, but to test the intentions of me and Tian Kai?"
It is no wonder that Kong Rong has doubts about Tian Feng's purpose. The two must have talked about many things. Tian Feng not only did not ask Kong Rong to persuade Lv Bu at all, but also tried everywhere, which made Kong Rong inevitably have an illusion.
"Well, I think too much. I thought that like Kong Beihai, a famous scholar who was favored by the great man and famous all over the world did not want to see a change of dynasty, but now it seems that this is not the case. No wonder Lv Bu dares to openly abolish His Majesty's authority." Speaking of this, Tianfeng did sigh and then said.
"Mr. Tian Feng was wrong. I Kong Rong is not reluctant to give up this stinky skin. I just don't want the people of Qingzhou to suffer the disaster of swords and soldiers. That's why I hope that Qingzhou can reconcile with Lv Bu in order to protect the people of Qingzhou. As for your majesty's matter, I will naturally go to Luoyang and make it clear with Lv Bu." After being said by Tian Feng, Kong Rong finally said his plan for the future. It turned out that Kong Rong knew that once Lv Bu entered Qingzhou, he would not be allowed to take charge of the Beihai again. At that time, Kong Rong could also fight with Lv Bu in the court without any concern.
"So that's it. Kong Beihai has a broad mind. It's really a role model for our generation. At that time, Tian will definitely help Kong Beihai." With that, Tian Feng took a step forward, took Kong Rong's hand and said seriously.
"Okay, let's go to see Tian Kai to discuss the matter of Qingzhou." Seeing that Tian Feng was also a person who had the same heart as himself, Kong Rong laughed. The two walked side by side hand and walked in the direction of Linzi together.
"I haven't seen Mr. Tian Feng for a long time, and his demeanor is still the same." When Tian Feng came to the outside of Linzi City, he saw a fat middle-aged man coming over with a group of Wenwu. The first person was Tian Kai.
"The history of Tian Kai has been running for the people of Qingzhou all day long, but he is thinner than before." Although Tian Kai is still a little bloated today, Tian Feng still can see that Tian Kai is hesitating for the future of Qingzhou, and he is also hesitating for his own future.
"Oh, Mr. Yuan died early, and I, Qingzhou, am alone and helpless. I really can't worry about it. I hope Mr. Tian Feng can bring me good news when he comes from Luoyang this time. Tian Kai did not recognize people's face, but directly talked about the topic above the purpose of Tian Feng's trip.
"Ha ha, I believe that the purpose of this trip is very clear. In addition, I also brought a gift on this trip." Speaking of this, Tian Feng took out a bright yellow satin scroll from his arms and handed it to Tian Kai.
"Why is there still a decree?" Seeing the bright yellow satin scroll handed over by Tian Feng, Tian Kai was shocked. Tian Kai is very familiar with this bright yellow scroll, which is the style of the imperial edict. However, now Emperor Xian is in Luoyang, and he is strictly controlled by Lv Bu. Obviously, it is impossible to send the imperial edict, so this volume of imperial edict can only be sent by Lv Bu.
"It's not an imperial edict, it's just an edict issued by Lv Bu as the regent." After Tian Feng handed over the scroll to Tian Kai, he opened his mouth and said that Lv Bu was ready to seal eight princes with foreign surnames and help Lv Bu assist the government together.
"I didn't expect Lv Bu to make so much effort for my Qingzhou. I think Lv Bu is bound to get for Qingzhou." After listening to Tian Feng's words, Tian Kai was surprised at first, but then he sighed and said. Although Tian Kai knew in his heart that once he handed over the power of Qingzhou to Lv Bu, it was very unlikely that Lv Bu would continue to stay in Qingzhou, Tian Kai still held the mentality of luck and hoped that Lv Bu could stay in Qingzhou. Even if he could not permanently control Qingzhou, he could at least spend the rest of his life safely, but now it seems that This has become my own extravagant hope.
"That's good. We can just go to Luoyang and Lv Bu to have a good fight. I'm afraid that Lv Bu will lift a stone and hit himself in the foot." At this time, Kong Rong next to him opened his mouth. Compared with Kong Rong's original belief that he entered Luoyang alone, Tian Kai had an additional identity as the king of Linzi at this time. Obviously, there were only advantages and no disadvantages for the future in Luoyang.
"Oh." Compared with Kong Rong, Tian Kai sighed and knew that it was impossible for him to have peace for the rest of his life.
"I don't know if Lord Assassin would like to take this edict?" Seeing the hesitation in Tian's happiness, Tian Feng asked.
"Sir, can you tell me when Lv Bu is going to take action against Hebei?" Knowing his destination after surrendering to Lv Bu, Tian Kai began to think about other places. There must be Yuan's support in Hebei at this time. As long as Yuan's family does not fall for a day, Tian Kai believes that Lv Bu will not move Qingzhou for a day.
"To be honest, when I left Luoyang, an envoy had gone to Jizhou. The purpose was to use the throne given to Yuan Shao to make Yuan Shao's two sons fight more fiercely. And the grain and fodder of Lv Bu's northern expedition has also begun to be prepared, and I believe that he will start soon. Tian Feng is also telling the truth. There must be no need to play tricks on these things with Tian Kai.
"In this case, please take me to Luoyang. Our Qingzhou is willing to surrender to the imperial court." Hearing Tian Feng's words, Tian Kai began to think about it. After a long time, he turned to look at Kong Rong beside him. Seeing Kong Rong nodded, he made up his mind and said.
