Hearing Han Fu's rejection, Ji Ping's face remained unchanged, and he brewed tea for Han Fu again.n∈
Tea culture had not yet emerged during this period. Most literati and Confucian scholars drank wine. Only the imperial palaces and a few families drank tea, while northerners drank less tea, and the tea was made very rough and did not develop to the stage of stir-frying tea. However, Ji Ping preferred to drink tea and always carried some with him.
Han Fu was born in the Han family in Yingchuan, so he naturally drank tea. When this guy was drinking tea, he heard that Ji Ping wanted to borrow food, but he just looked sad and sighed.
Ji Ping was not angry either. He knew that there was too much food to borrow this time, and Han Fu was a cowardly person and could still discuss it. If he had changed to other princes such as Yuan Shao, he would have been sent off for two million stones.
He took a sip of tea, felt the slight bitterness in his mouth, and said lightly: "Eunuch Han, do you know that you are in danger now?"
He was familiar with history and naturally knew that Han Fu gave up the position of Jizhou governor to Yuan Shao during this period, and was then forced to join Zhang Miao by Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao's envoy met with Zhang Miao, Han Fu was frightened and committed suicide in the toilet with a book knife that scraped the bamboo slips, which was extremely tragic.
When Han Fu heard Ji Ping's words, his body trembled, and his face immediately showed a look of shock and doubt, and said uneasy: "Why did Your Highness say this? I have never made any grudges in my life..."
Ji Ping laughed and said, "I am so angry that life and death have nothing to do with grudges, as if chaos has started today. Jizhou is also a valuable asset to the world. You are the governor of Jizhou. It has already made countless people covet and plot. As the saying goes, a gentleman is innocent and has a treasure."
When Ji Ping saw Han Fu's expression change slightly, he said to the point: "The enemy of the envoy is not in Gongsun Zan, nor in the Heishan Army, but in Yuan Shao, Bohai!"
Han Fu's expression changed drastically. It was obvious that he had been afraid of Yuan Shao for a long time, but he forced himself to say, "I was originally an old official of the Yuan family, and my talent was not as good as Benchu. If he wanted this Jizhou governor, I would let him go."
Ji Ping heard that he was insincere. After all, as the governor of Jizhou, who would be willing to give up easily? However, Han Fu said so, he did not refute, but just shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and dared to the inside. If you send the governor of Jizhou to him, your life will be short."
Han Fu's hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly. He murmured: "I have always paid attention to fame. I will give him the Lord of Jizhou to him. If he harms me, he will be laughed at by the world."
Obviously, Han Fu himself felt that this was not convincing, and just kept comforting himself from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Ping mercilessly broke his last psychological defense line: "If the envoy loses Jizhou, it will be like a tiger falling into Pingyang. Why does Yuan Shao need to take action? He can kill the envoy with just a small hand. Yuan Shao killed the envoy again, which is known as avenging the envoy. Even if the people in the world do not believe it, the envoy has already turned into loess, so what can we do?"
Han Fu's face turned pale and he was slightly breathing. He was born in a noble family. Although he was cowardly, he was not stupid. Ji Ping's words shattered the last bit of luck in his heart, which made him shudder.
Ji Ping added another piece of firewood: "You can tell why Grand Tutor Yuan recommended you to be the governor of Jizhou, just paving the way for Yuan Shao."
Clang!
The teacup in Han Fu's hand fell to the ground. Looking at Ji Ping, his eyes were filled with fear, and he seemed to be unable to believe it, but he just murmured: "No, no, how could it be..."
Ji Ping's voice was plain, but he penetrated into Han Fu's bones word by word: "Imagine how many state governors in the world are Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, are all relatives. Dong Zhuo, the former governor of Bingzhou, holds heavy troops, but the envoy is not as famous as Liu Yu and Liu Yan, and his troops are not as good as Dong Zhuo, but he owns Jizhou, the richest of the four prefectures. Has the envoy never thought about the reason?"
Han Fu sat on the ground, his eyes full of despair, and there was still a little resentment, unwillingness and helplessness, so he was unwilling to give up Jizhou in his heart. Moreover, Ji Ping even analyzed that he was a death if he gave up Jizhou, and he was a death if he was a death if he was a death if he was a death if he was a advance or a retreat.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, hurriedly bowed to Ji Ping to the ground, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, please give advice to you! Fu Ke will transfer Jizhou to Your Highness."
Cough cough! Ji Ping almost choked on the tea. He was quite moved when he heard that Han Fu was about to give up Jizhou, but then calmed down.
As he said to Li Ru before, he should not occupy Jizhou at present, otherwise he would be enemies on all sides, such as Dong Zhuo, Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Heishan, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Qingzhou Huangteng, etc., and might be able to use force to fight in military terms and fight far and near, but politically, he would not be able to do so. The consequence of his greed and greedy and he would not be able to eat too much is that he would even lose his old nest Hedong County, and the good policy situation would be destroyed, internal and external troubles, and even destruction. He never underestimated the strength of this era's family.
In history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao quickly controlled the states, but in fact they were not really controlled. They all rely on the power of the aristocratic families. This sequelae is also extremely terrible. The two aristocratic families under Yuan Shao continued to fight, and his decision was not enough, which eventually led to his destruction. Cao Cao suffered several rebellions from the aristocratic families and several times to sacrificial swords, but his Cao Wei was eventually controlled and replaced by the aristocratic families.
What's more, if he wants to take over Jizhou, he has to have a running-in process with these aristocratic families. It is even more difficult to obtain food for a while. It would be better to take advantage of Han Fu's current influence in Jizhou.
So Ji Ping shook his head and shamelessly pretended to be a gentleman: "I have no ambitions for Jizhou, I just come here to borrow food and save the people."
Han Fu did not expect that Ji Ping actually rejected his proposal and said dejectedly: "Your Highness, even if you add the counties and counties, I can only lend 1.5 million stones of grain. No matter how much I can't take out, the Jizhou family will definitely oppose it."
"One.5 million stones?" Ji Ping frowned. He knew that Han Fu might have made a briefing. Although Liu Hui said that the counties and counties in Jizhou controlled by Han Fu could have two million stones of grain in total, it would definitely be impossible to lend them all. After all, Jizhou County also needs food emergency, so one.5 million stones is already Han Fu's bottom line of ability.
He pondered: "Since the food is only one.5 million stones, what about the money? Can you lend five million yuan from the treasury to buy food from various families?"
During the construction of Hedong County, money has been exhausted. Nowadays, all wages are paid for by salt, so Ji Ping is currently a pauper and can only make money for nothing.
As for the matter of borrowing and returning, he never thought about it. If Yuan Shao seized Han Fu's Jizhou, would he still have to repay it?
"Five million yuan?" Han Fu, who was originally frightened, almost jumped up by a mouthful of tea, shook his head repeatedly: "I really can't take this out. If I have to borrow money if I have to borrow money, I am afraid that I, the Jizhou Guard, can't do it."
Ji Ping was silent, took out a brocade bag from the side, placed it on the desk, and said slowly: "I used this item as a marshal for three million stones of grain, ten million yuan of money, ten thousand oxen, and twenty thousand war horses."
"Your Highness, let Yuan Shao kill me..." Han Fu didn't look at the brocade bag on the desk, but heard Ji Ping's lion speak loudly, and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ping opened the brocade bag and took out something. Han Fu trembled all over and said in a lost voice: "Transfer...to pass on the jade seal of the country!"
Ji Ping smiled faintly: "That's it."
Han Fu suddenly looked up and glanced at Ji Ping, and his face changed drastically. He fell to the ground: "Dian...you...you are King Hongnong...Your Majesty..."
Ji Ping was stunned. He didn't expect Han Fu to recognize him. You know, even Yuan Shao didn't recognize him.
But he didn't know that when Yuan Shao saw Ji Ping several times, Ji Ping always wore an imperial crown and was above his head. However, Han Fu had seen Ji Ping up close at the ceremony of Dong Zhuo's deposed emperor. It was the edict of the deposed emperor read by Han Fu, who was then the Minister of Shang.
The more cowardly the person is, the more careful he will be, and secretly investigate the world. At that time, Han Fu was coerced by Dong Zhuo and felt extremely guilty about Ji Ping, the deposed emperor, especially when Ji Ping paid a visit to Liu Xie in the north, Han Fu had the deepest impression of this young deposed emperor.
Although Ji Ping's spirit and demeanor had undergone great changes at this time, Han Fu did not think of that at the beginning, but as soon as he saw the imperial seal, he immediately understood everything.
Thinking that the deposed emperor was not only not frozen and killed, but also organized a strong soldier to confront and defeat Dong Zhuo several times, a deep chill surged in Han Fu's heart.
Then Han Fu bowed to the ground in panic again: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the criminals will never dare to receive the imperial seal. I will definitely do my best to do my best in terms of money and food!"
Ji Ping nodded: "It's okay to have two million stones? It would be better if there is any excess, so I won't look for it elsewhere."
Han Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the criminal loses this Jizhou governor, he will raise two million stones of food for His Majesty, but no matter how much more..."
Ji Ping didn't say anything else and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two million stones of grain should be fine. Although something happened and Han Fu recognized his identity, he finally got the food, and there was no need to throw it out. Although he didn't care about the imperial seal, this thing might be useful at some point.
Han Fu was really cowardly. He should only be a scholar or a county magistrate in peacetime. In this chaotic era, Han Fu was just a delivery person, but he even controlled Jizhou, which was second only to Sili and Yuzhou, and even had a higher strategic position.
However, since Han Fu borrowed food, he should have planned for Han Fu and immediately pondered: "Wenjie has any confidants?"
Han Fu hurriedly said, "Xun Chen, Guo Tu and Xin Ping all came from Yingchuan to follow the criminals north and governed Li Li. He was promoted by the criminals. They were all close friends. There were also governors in the army engaged in Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan. They recruited more than 10,000 crossbow soldiers and stationed in Zhangshui, which is also credible."
Han Fu originally wanted Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan to station troops in Hanoi, but later he learned that Hanoi was occupied by King Shenwu, so he did not dare to invade Hanoi. He immediately ordered the two to station troops in Zhangshui to defend Yecheng.
"Xun Chen? Guo Tu? Xin Ping?" Ji Ping had never heard of Zhao Fu or Cheng Huan, but knew these famous scholars of Ru Ying. He immediately shook his head and said, "Although they are both famous scholars in Yingchuan like Wen Jie, the reputation of the Yuan family is far beyond the reach of the envoys. Many of their clan members are disciples of the Yuan family. Once Yuan Shao arrived, they might immediately deviate and surrender to Yuan Shao. Wen Jie and Yuan Shao may be more trustworthy in Hebei's famous scholars."
Han Fu's face turned pale, Ji Ping became clearer, and he immediately figured it out, and couldn't help but feel scared. He just looked at Ji Ping expectantly and waited for him to explain a way to rescue him.
Han Fu dared not ask why Ji Ping did not reveal his identity and recruit heroes from all over the world. In his opinion, since this mysterious emperor did not reveal his identity, he must have his plans.
At this moment, a sudden burst of noise came from outside, shouting for killing. Soon someone came to report: "Lord, Qu Yi led his troops to rebellion, the southeast of Yecheng was occupied, and the bandits attacked the prefecture and the mansion here overnight."
