Chapter 355 Understanding the Righteousness and Proposing a Deal
Although it was delayed for some time, Fa Miao and Ding Feng still led hundreds of tiger soldiers and arrived outside Wu Yi's mansion soon.
When Fa Miao arrived outside Wu Yi's mansion, he saw that the door of Wu Yi's mansion was strangely closed despite the blue sky and white sun.
After seeing this, Fa Miao just narrowed his eyes slightly, but Ding Feng had a look of anxiety on his face.
When Ding Feng saw that Fa Miao had led his army outside Wu Yi's mansion, he was not in a hurry to go in. He hurriedly said to Fa Miao: "Don't drive, let's lead the army and rush in."
Upon hearing Ding Feng's suggestion, Fa Miao decisively shook his head to express his rejection.
"He is a general who conquered the north, and he is also a relative of the country."
In one short sentence, he expressed the concerns in Fa Miao's heart.
Ding Feng came from a humble background and did not understand political rules.
He only knows that as Mi Yang's minion, he must faithfully complete each of his tasks.
Even for that task, the person he faced was Wu Yi, whose status was far above him.
Fa Miao didn't have a bad impression of Wu Yi in the first place, and now he saw that Wu Yi was very cooperative with him, so it didn't hurt for him to praise Wu Yi at the right time.
No matter what you say, Deng Xian is still Wu Yi's old subordinate.
Just like Wu Yi now.
Wu Yi also knew that Mi Yang had been raised by Mi Zhu's side since childhood.
Mi Yang was not a saint, and Wu Yi was not a saint either.
Wu Yi's status was unusual, and the location of his mansion was naturally also a gathering place for dignitaries in Nanzheng City.
Under Mi Yang's gaze, Wu Yi asked Mi Yang: "Uncle Mu was dissatisfied with Yi before?"
Just like after Liu Bei's rise, he also handed over most of his military power to the Yuan Cong clan.
On the one hand, this was his duty as a shepherd in Liangzhou, and on the other hand, he did not want anyone to restrict him in Liangzhou and affect his subsequent series of reform measures.
After Wu Yi noticed Mi Yang's kind eyes on him, he took a step forward and said to Mi Yang, "I have something I want to discuss with Uncle Mu in private."
Although Wu Yi didn't make his words too clear, given their status between the two of them, it was quite straightforward for Wu Yi to take the initiative to ask him this question.
However, Mi Yang's style since entering Nanzheng was completely different from Mi Zhu's good old man's style.
Just like even if Mi Yang's status is higher than that of Wu Yi, if he wants to take over Wu Yi's military power, he must honor Wu Yi on the surface and compensate Wu Yi afterwards.
Now that Wu Yi had righteously killed his relatives and personally escorted Deng Xian to Fa Miao, this move would be praised by anyone as "Wu Gong is righteous".
After Wu Yi listened to Mi Yang's answer, his face showed joy.
Although Mi Yang had sufficient reputation for doing these two things, Wu Yi, who had been immersed in the field of political interests for many years, could not help but have this question in his mind.
Yesterday he reduced his military power, and today he sent troops to capture his henchman Deng Xian.
After Fa Miao praised Wu Yi, he thought about taking Deng Xian back to the Prefectural Mufu.
I saw Deng Xian being tied up and held inside the door, and the people responsible for controlling him were Wu Yi, the general of the Northern Expedition, and Wu Ban, the partial general.
Wu Yi's voice when he said these words was not too quiet. When his words reached the ears of everyone present, words of praise for Wu Yi began to appear among the onlookers.
But this does not mean that Mi Yang has a personal grudge against Wu Yi, nor does it mean that Mi Yang will stop his actions because of this.
Now after everyone heard what Fa Miao said, they learned Mi Yang's true intention.
As for why Deng Xian was in Wu Yi's mansion, it was probably because today happened to be the day when Deng Xian paid a visit to Wu Yi.
He doesn't care about the bad influence at all, otherwise why would so many people hate him?
It's not that Wu Ban is stupid, it's that such behavior is very common in today's world.
Wu Yi looked at Mi Yang in front of him. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were from the same mother. Their appearances were quite similar.
After giving this order, Fa Miao took a few steps forward on his horse and arrived at the gate of Wu Mansion.
Since this is unlikely to happen, Fa Miao is certainly not impatient.
This is the biggest question in Wu Yi's mind right now.
Especially when Wu Yi is not guilty of any crime.
The moment Fa Miao led his army into the inner gate, many dignitaries living in the same village with Wu Yi learned the news.
Even Liu Bei's last edict asked Zhuge Liang to do this.
Among meat eaters, the most important thing is appearance.
Based on Wu Yi's connections in the city, he probably received the news one step ahead.
However, what surprised Mi Yang was that Wu Yi followed Fa Miao and came to him.
Although Fa Miao did not have the unparalleled intelligence of his father, Fa Miao, who had been handling human affairs for Fa Zheng since he was a child, was much more unique in his judgment on some matters than Fa Zheng.
Even Mi Yang's appearance has a hint of Mi Zhu, a humble gentleman.
After the shock in their hearts dissipated, everyone immediately felt like watching the fun.
In troubled times, one should do what is right. Liu Bei made him the shepherd of Liangzhou, just to let him govern Liangzhou well, not to be a good old man.
However, given Wu Yi's status, he has the capital to ask himself this question.
Even in Mi Yang's mind, when he restructures the army in the near future, he will grant Wu Yi military power again so that this general will not be useless.
If Mi Yang hadn't been dissatisfied with him for a long time, why would he fight against him in everything?
On the surface Mi Yang still respected Wu Yi, but in fact Mi Yang also gave Wu Yi the personnel power to promote state officials out of compensation.
They also knew that Deng Xian was one of Wu Yi's confidants.
Hearing Wu Yi's question, Mi Yang couldn't help but be stunned.
Everyone present has his or her own trusted subordinates, and it is normal to know this.
After Wu Yi saw Fa Miao at the door, he and Wu Ban escorted Deng Xian towards Fa Miao.
It's not like he wanted to arrest Wu Yi for no reason. Moreover, Fa Miao ordered the tigers and soldiers behind him to retreat. This was already giving Wu Yi face.
But Fa Miao was different. Fa Miao, who came from a well-known family, knew that even if he wanted to arrest Deng Xian, he could not rush into Wu Yi's mansion rashly.
After understanding Wu Yi's unspoken intention, Fa Miao did not refuse. He happily invited Wu Yi to go with him to meet Mi Yang.
This is also the reason why Wu Banfang persuaded Wu Yi to let Deng Xian escape.
Fa Miao highlighted Wu Yi's performance in personally escorting Deng Xian just now.
Not to mention Wu Yi's prestige in his heart, just the hundreds of tiger warriors who retreated but still stood outside the door, which made him unable to resist any thoughts in his heart.
Even after Fa Miao saw Wu Yi's behavior, he ordered Ding Feng behind him to take Deng Xian away. On the other hand, he also bowed to Wu Yi and said with a smile:
Without this move, Zhuge Liang would not have been able to successfully launch several Northern Expeditions, let alone stabilize Ji Han, who was on the verge of collapse after the Battle of Yiling.
Although Mi Yang is a representative of the old foreign relatives' forces, Wu Yi is a representative of the new foreign relatives' forces in the Han Dynasty.
It is impossible to say that there is no conflict of interest between Mi Yang and Wu Yi, but the current conflict of interest between the two of them is not clear yet, and it is far from even reaching the point of hating each other.
And when these three sentences shouted by Fa Miao were transmitted into Wu's mansion through the towering wall, the people slowly gathering around also understood the intention of Fa Miao leading the army.
Perhaps the act of concealing relatives will be recognized by the world, but because of this, sometimes the act of "killing relatives for justice" will be praised by the world.
Compared with Wei Yan's approach today, Wu Yi's approach is undoubtedly more likely to be liked by Mi Yang, a superior.
Under the escort of Wu Yi, although Deng Xian's face was filled with deathly gray, he made no movement of struggle at all.
"Even before I took charge of Liangzhou, I had great respect for Duke Wu in my heart."
Deng Xian holds the important position of military commander in Hanzhong, so everyone naturally knows about him.
Seeing what Wu Yi said, Mi Yang did not doubt that he was there. He asked Fa Miao, Lu Yi and others to retreat, leaving only Ding Feng to protect his safety.
When Wu Yi saw Mi Yang pushing away most of the people in the hall, a relaxed look instantly appeared on his face.
Not far away, Wu Yi quickly escorted Deng Xian to Fa Miao.
Of course Mi Yang also knew the reason why Wu Yi asked this question.
Now I will personally escort the criminal Deng Xian into Biejia's hands, and Biejia can take care of himself."
The relationship between Mi Yang and Wu Yi is not so close that even the bodyguards have turned away.
In this way, the open space in front of the gate of Wu Mansion, which was originally threatened by being surrounded, was exposed.
Words of praise that conveyed a profound sense of justice floated into the ears of Wu Yi and Fa Miao as if they were free of charge.
And just before Wu Yi arrived, Fa Miao had already jumped off his horse in time.
All men love power and the feeling of having great power, and Mi Yang is no exception.
They were all curious about what Wu Yi would do next.
It’s just obvious that Wu Yi sees further than Wu Ban.
After hearing the news, many people were shocked in their hearts and came out of their respective mansions to gather outside Wu Yi's mansion, wanting to see why Mi Yang suddenly acted like this.
He raised his head and shouted towards the house:
"The state pastor suddenly heard that Deng Xian was colluding with the rebel generals and buying and selling military rations. He found out that Deng Xian was in the general's mansion, so he led his troops to arrest him."
"Yi's lax control of his subordinates led to the emergence of a scoundrel like Deng Xian. I feel deeply ashamed and sad.
"Many scholars in Yizhou praised Gao Jin for conquering the north, and Guan Gong's style today is truly worthy of his reputation."
Without this move, how could Liu Bei have thoroughly implemented the "Shu Ke", which was very harsh on the wealthy families?
Mi Yang listened to Wu Yi's question, he shook his head at Wu Yi and said: "No."
Mi Yang did not deceive Wu Yi.
Of course, although Mi Yang accepted Wu Yi's military power based on the intention of gaining power, he did not intend to completely abandon Wu Yi.
Although Deng Xian was not related to Wu Yi, in the Han Dynasty, some close bosses and subordinates were equivalent to relatives.
Since Mi Yang took charge of Liangzhou, almost everything he did seemed to be directed at him.
Even when Zhuge Liang was assisting the government in history, he made himself the actual leader of Ji Han through a series of actions.
What Mi Yang couldn't do, as his minister, I couldn't do even more.
Mi Yang had his own selfish motives for simply taking over Wu Yi's military power.
In front of the gate of Wu Mansion, Fa Miao shouted these words three times in a row.
Deng Xian was a military commander in Hanzhong but knew the law and broke the law. Undoubtedly, he was guilty of an extra level of crime. Such a crime was indeed worthy of Mi Yang sending troops to arrest him.
This is Mi Yang's selfishness, but Mi Yang wants to gain power not for personal enjoyment.
Decisive enough.
Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that Wu Yi would allow Deng Xian to escape.
At least when Wei Yan was in charge of Hanzhong, his power was far less than that of Mi Yang, but his actions were much more unscrupulous than Mi Yang's.
This is also the reason why Fa Miao asked Mi Yang to let him lead the army.
But then he remembered Liu Bei's comments about Wu Yi, and a knowing look appeared on his face.
So Wu Yi quickly stepped forward and said to Mi Yang: "Then I want to ask Uncle Mu a favor."
Mi Yang initially expected that Wu Yi might not protect Deng Xian, but he did not expect that Wu Yi would do it more thoroughly.
What is universal love? Different people have different opinions.
The reason why Fa Miao did not immediately lead his troops into Wu Yi's mansion was because he knew Wu Yi's character.
In the Han Dynasty, the emphasis was on the concealment of relatives. The concealment of relatives was not only a basic principle of the law of the Han Dynasty, but also a moral code that the world basically abided by.
In front of Mi Yang, Fa Miao told Mi Yang everything that happened just now.
When Wu Yi and Fa Miao stood opposite each other, Wu Yi took the lead in bowing to Fa Miao and said sincerely in front of everyone:
Soon after, Mi Yang was in the governor's mansion and waited until Fa Miao returned to him in person.
In such an environment, some things can be said without any scruples.
Fa Miao looked at the hundreds of Huben behind him. To Ding Feng's surprise, he ordered the Huben behind him to take a few steps back and disperse.
However, whether it was taking Wu Yi's military power or sending troops to capture Deng Xian, Mi Yang's starting point was mostly the overall situation.
Many people cannot do it themselves, but they are not stingy in praising others for their actions.
Otherwise, he would be tearing away the fig leaf between the noble families, and even slapping Liu Bei in the face.
Of course, if Mi Yang wants to do this, he will inevitably usurp the interests of some people and cause dissatisfaction among some people. This is inevitable.
Is it to capture Wu Yi?
Although this conjecture is unlikely, it still appears uncontrollably in everyone's minds.
After seeing this scene, not to mention the crowd of spectators, even Fa Miao had a look of surprise on his face.
With Mi Yang's identity and integrity, there was no need for him to deceive him.
Under this kind of sense, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi with a kind look.
When the door of Wu Yi's mansion was completely opened, the scene inside the door was completely revealed to the eyes of hundreds of people outside the mansion.
After learning about this incident, the shock in the hearts of everyone watching slowly dissipated.
"Cherish the overwhelming love."
But just when Fa Miao was about to leave, Wu Yi took the initiative and said to Fa Miao: "Yi wants to go with Bie Jia to meet Uncle Mu."
Everyone's curiosity was not kept waiting for too long. Soon after Fa Miao's three-sentence shout reached Wu Yi's mansion, the door of Wu Yi's mansion was slowly opened by the servants in the mansion.
"I don't ask Uncle Mu to acquit Deng Xian. I just want Uncle Mu to spare Deng Xian's life."
Wu Yi's request was very sudden, which also made Fa Miao a little puzzled.
After making this request, Wu Yi continued: "If Uncle Mu can agree to my request, in the future, when it comes to Liangzhou affairs, all ministers will definitely look up to the state's Mu Ma."
After saying this, Wu Yi looked at Mi Yang with hopeful eyes.
Since he was not dissatisfied or deliberately arguing, Wu Yi felt that his request, or transaction, was very likely to be approved by Mi Yang.
