Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Six?
With the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, the county prison was in chaos.
"What's going on in Sima Zhongda now?" Zhang Xiu asked the prisoner while walking into the cell. Ma Dai and other tiger soldiers were also eyeing the prisoner who was in his fifties and sixties, which made the prisoner sweat profusely.
"Report to Your Majesty. Mr. Sima can eat and drink, and his spirit is very good." The jailer took a deep breath, bowed his hand and replied, then wiped the cold sweat from his face.
Since Sima Yi was detained by him, he has served him with delicious food and drink. Fortunately, he is smart. Now, the emperor has come.
Zhang Xiu nodded and walked in along the road.
At present, the territory under the Liang Dynasty has become stable, and very few crimes have been committed. Huaicheng has just experienced a great war, and there is an emperor in charge, so no one commits crimes.
Sima Yi was imprisoned in this huge prison.
Soon, Zhang Xiu came to the cell where Sima Yi was imprisoned. Without waiting for Zhang Xiu's instructions, the jailer took out the key and opened the door of the cell.
Zhang Xiu glanced casually and found that Sima Yi lived in a very good place. The cell was very clean, including bedding, oil lamps, books, pens and inks.
"Your Majesty." Sima Yi was reading a book. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he quickly put down the book and stood up to greet him.
"Zhongda." Zhang Xiu took a breath and planned to bend down and enter the cell.
"Your Majesty is the emperor's honor and must not enter the prison cell." Sima Yi quickly dissuaded.
"Precisely because I am the emperor, there is nothing to avoid. No matter what monsters and monsters, can I still get close to me?" Zhang Xiu shook his head, smiled and bent down into the prison cell. Then he grabbed Sima Yi's hand, and his eyes were slightly red and said, "Zhongda. Can you tell me that I am trying my best?"
Sima Yi looked at Zhang Xiu's cheek and immediately grabbed Zhang Xiu's hands and said, "Your Majesty, did you deliberately put your ministers in prison to make the best of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?"
"Zhongda is really far-reaching. That's what I mean." Zhang Xiu focused his head and said, "Now, no one in the court and the country dares to discuss the matter of salt and iron anymore. All of this is your contribution to Zhongda. I plan to add Zhongda, you are the military advisor and be named the Marquis of Ting."
"Your Majesty, you can't. I have just lived here for a few days. I have no contribution, but I have been granted a marquis. I am afraid that the soldiers will not accept it. Please take your majesty back." Sima Yi shook his head and said.
"Zhongda. If you don't reward merits, you will lose the hearts of all the people in the world. Zhongda, would you want to trap me injustice?" Zhang Xiu insisted.
"No." Sima Yi reacted very quickly and said.
"Hahaha. That's right." Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, then grabbed Sima Yi's hand and walked out of the cell, saying, "I have set up a banquet in the palace to welcome you Zhongda."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sima Yi said with gratitude.
Immediately, Zhang Xiu took Sima Yi's hand and left the prison together, got on the imperial carriage outside the door, and headed to Sima Yi's mansion in Huaicheng first.
Zhang Xiu talked with Sima Yi excitedly about what happened recently. Sima Yi listened with a smile and said a few words from time to time.
But Sima Yi's heart was very cold. He looked at Zhang Xiu's handsome face and did not dare to sweat.
Being with the king is like being with a tiger.
He was a smart man and felt Zhang Xiu's murderous intent. This time, the blade was really put on his neck and almost fell into a pool of blood. But he couldn't figure out why Zhang Xiu wanted to kill him.
Why didn't Zhang Xiu kill him? Not only did he not kill him, but he also personally arrived at the prison cell with the emperor's honor and explained to him, giving both sides a step forward, and was also a marquis, who was really a respectful and polite person.
Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord.
The emperor was so full of thoughts and so powerful. Sima Yi felt deeply awe, terrible, terrible.
On this day, Zhang Xiu set up a banquet in the palace, and had a banquet with Xun You, Ju Su, Fa Zheng, Sima Yi and others, watching singing and dancing, which was very happy.
He reconciled with Sima Yi as before.
That morning.
Zhang Xiu sat in the study and read the article. Now the rights of the Liang Dynasty belong to Shangshutai, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai, have the right to handle major affairs in the world. The three of them deal with it together can also prevent the rights from being the only one. Zhang Xiu was very relieved.
Generally, the three of them processed the article together and sent it to Huai County. After he read it, he would then execute it. He would not read it, and he would be correct directly.
But he would work occasionally and express it. I would read these statements, so don’t slack off.
"Your Majesty. Military Advisor Xun is looking for a meeting." Ma Dai walked in and bowed his hands.
Zhang Xiu knew what happened without asking. Now Gongsun Du’s letter has not been handed over. But the news from Luoyang has already been heard.
Xun You had a man named Xun Shuang, who was considered dead because of the matter of salt and iron and Cai Yong.
"Please come in." Zhang Xiu put down the letter in his hand and said.
"No." Ma Dai responded to the nostalgia and turned around. Not long after, Xun You walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty." Xun You bent down to salute Zhang Xiu and apologized.
"What is the crime of Military Advisor Xun?" Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.
"I have selfish intentions." Xun You bowed again and again, very sincerely.
"Hahaha." Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, then stood up from the imperial throne, helped Xun You up, and said, "Mr. Xun is not a saint, so what's wrong with selfishness?"
"Sit." Zhang Xiu asked Xun You to sit down again before returning to the imperial throne. He said sincerely to Xun You: "I have known each other for more than ten years. The military advisor is extremely talented, but he is never domineering. As a close minister, he does not use his power for personal gain. No matter what happens, everything is covered. How could I make the military advisor difficult for such a small matter? I issued an edict to pardon Xun Shuang. It is just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. He sent his whole family to Liangzhou to imprison him and will not leave the ban for life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xun You bowed sincerely and said gratefully. But he had a paralyzed face, but there was actually not much expression.
"Hehe. The military advisor is so serious." Zhang Xiu said with a smile. Then, he asked Xun You to leave, and then sent someone to ask Cai Mao to issue an edict to pardon Xun Shuang.
The emperor's power is not only about killing, but also about gratitude.
If an ordinary general has clear rewards and punishments and obeys orders, he will be invincible.
The usage of emperors can be adjusted at any time.
The king's law, the king's law, is the law of the emperor, not the law above. People like Xun You can be a little tolerant.
There is no greater reward and punishment in the world. This is also a kind of punishment. If you hold the power firmly in Zhang Xiu's hands, he will be able to live.
If someone dies, they will die.
Quan Lianshu.
Therefore, Xun Shuang conspired with Liu Pengzu and others, but there were two consequences.
Zhang Xiu exhaled, walked out of the study door, facing north, and stood with his hands behind his back.
