Chapter 1529: Difficult Taishi Ci
And Taishi Ci, who was in the Heavenly Prison, became the only resident in the Heavenly Prison.
When he first arrived at the Heavenly Prison, Taishici thought he had come to the wrong place. Generally speaking, the prison was dark and wet. There were also a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. There were no need to be a place to detain prisoners. There were many prisons in Dongwu, and the environment was very harsh.
But Taishici looked at the clean Heavenly Prison in front of him and deeply doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.
However, the fierce prison guards in Tianzhu proved that the place where Taishi Ci came was right.
"This guy is a prisoner of the Eastern Wu, so I'm optimistic!" The general in charge of the custody handed over Taishi Ci to the prison head and gave him a reminder.
The prison head happily sent the general out.
Why are the prison leaders and the prison guards so happy? Because there are not many rats in the prison now.
Taishici was very surprised. Why didn’t anyone see such a large prison around his cell?
In fact, in the past, the prison was almost full. Those who committed crimes in the court, were wronged, and those who failed to rectify the rectification struggle would be stuffed into the prison. At that time, the prison heads and prison guards in the prison were a fat man. Every day, the filial piety given by the families of the prisoners was very popular. Over the years, Emperor Shenwu has worked hard to govern and gradually understood some of the disasters in the court. Now, no one dares to cause trouble, and they all shout that His Majesty is wise. Moreover, what Liu Yu hates the most is internal fighting and persecution. Once it is verified, he will be beheaded directly.
Those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be caught have been arrested almost the same. The Heavenly Prison is also a place where the repeated offenders have only arrived, so slowly no criminals have come in.
Nowadays, prisoners and prison guards can only live with a little salary every month. Thinking of the rich oil and water every day, prison guards and prison guards all have tears in their eyes.
The court was also concerned about the bad habits in prisons. Especially the powerful department of Tianzhuo, it has even installed a lot of eyeliners. The prisoner was also clever. When he learned that Li Gui was managing the matter, he obediently obediently obediently.
The Sili School Captain was originally in charge of the Heavenly Prison.
This day, there are only prisoners and prison guards. Today, a prisoner finally came, and of course they were happy. At least they had something to do. When the superiors ordered, this severe torture was inevitable, and they could just let them activate their muscles and bones so that they would not be too idle. It would be better to exercise more.
After Taishici was locked in a cell, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
After being captured, Sima Yi and Pang Tong did not make things difficult for him, but took them to Luoyang. Liu Jun was worried that Taishi Ci would run away, so he locked several chains on his body. Even so, Taishi Ci looked for an opportunity to escape on the road. Unfortunately, Liu Jun was too alert and Taishi Ci did not find a chance.
Liu Jun’s benevolence and righteousness was not spoken by empty words. He was still really benevolence and righteousness towards Taishi Ci, the captive. During the journey to Luoyang, Taishi Ci had never been hungry and thirsty. He just had no freedom.
Along the way, Taishici passed many cities. Taishici was shocked to find that under the rule of the Shenwu court, the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity, and the cities were very prosperous, like a prosperous era, which was incomparable to the Eastern Wu side.
Being imprisoned in a prison cart, Taishici could see the satisfaction and comfort of the people from the bottom of their hearts. Taishici couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart. No one saw the people like this in the Eastern Wu side. Moreover, the people greeted the soldiers of Liu Jun who were guarding Taishici. The people in the Eastern Wu side were afraid of the soldiers and had no time to hide. Taishici had thought nothing before, after all, the army was a violent force, and it was normal for the people to be afraid of them. But the people under the Shenwu court were so kind to Liu Jun soldiers, and Liu Jun soldiers also greeted them with a smile and were happy. At this moment, Taishici felt a little shaken. Are the things he has done over the years right or wrong?
Staying alone in the prison, Taishici stared blankly at the top of the prison, not knowing what he was thinking.
Before the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison could wait for the orders above, they saw Li Gui bringing Xu Shu.
"Mr. Li, why are you here?" The prison head greeted him with a smile.
Li Gui said with a nose facing the sky: "Are a prisoner from the Eastern Wu coming today?"
"Yes!" said the prisoner well-behavedly.
Li Gui nodded and said, "This gentleman is going to see him according to His Majesty's order. You take him there! No one is allowed to interfere!"
"Yes!" The prison head had no objection, and he did not dare to have any objection.
Li Gui turned to Xu Shu and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Sir, I'm waiting for you outside."
"You are polite, Lord Li!" Xu Shu also expressed his gratitude to Li Gui for his kindness.
In fact, Li Gui lowered his attitude to tell these prisoners that Xu Shu was a big shot and should not slacken.
The prisoners are not stupid either. There are only four types of people who can come to the prison. One is the one who is on duty, the other is the prisoner, the other is the relatives of the prisoner, and the last one is the one who is ordered to do business.
No matter how you look at Xu Shu, he is the last type of person, and he is still a person with status and status. Who is Li Gui? The most popular person around the emperor, he is so polite to Xu Shu, and the prison guards can't see it if they are blind.
So under the guidance of the prisoners very politely, Xu Shu came to Taishici's cell.
Before Xu Shu approached, Taishi Ci heard footsteps with great power. He was ready to deal with the lobbying of the people. When he came to Liu Yu's prison and mobilized the troops in this way, Taishi Ci knew that Liu Yu must have wanted to persuade him to surrender.
At this time, Taishi Ci was thinking who would come? The biggest possibility was Zhuge Liang, because when Taishi Ci was in Eastern Wu, he heard that Zhuge Liang was eloquent.
As the prison head opened the prison door, Taishi Ci was shocked when he saw Xu Shu who had been away for a long time. How could the visitor be Xu Shu?
"General Ziyi, long time no see!" Xu Shu walked into prison and bowed to Taishi Ci with a smile.
Taishici finally came to his senses and stood up and said to Xu Shu: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu Shu discovered that Taishi Ci had huge iron chains tied, which looked very twisted. However, to prevent a fierce man like Taishi Ci, it would be impossible not to use thicker iron chains.
"General Ziyi, don't call him "Mr. Ziyi." Xu Shu's smile remained unchanged, and he sat on a chair casually.
Taishi Ci also sat opposite Xu Shu. The only possibility of meeting Xu Shu here is that Xu Shu is already Liu Yu’s person!
"I didn't expect it! Mr. Xu followed Liu Xuande and our lord to fight against Liu Yu. As soon as Liu Xuande left, Mr. Liu immediately climbed up the big tree of Liu Yu. It was indeed smart! I congratulated Mr. Xu here." Taishi Ci spoke first, and said respectfully on his lips, but it was all ironic.
Xu Shu didn't care, so he picked up two cups and poured a cup of tea for Taishi Ci and himself.
"Although life in Tianzhuo is boring, Ziyi's retirement is a good choice." Xu Shu pushed a cup of tea in front of Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci looked at the tea that Xu Shu pushed over, picked it up and drank it. Then he put down the teacup and said, "Don't Mr. Xu be a lobbyist?"
"Yes! Not right!" Xu Shu was playing with mystery and said, "Ziyi, do you know what happened after I and Liu Xuande arrived in Yizhou?"
Taishi Ci was attracted by Xu Shu's words and blurted out: "What happened?"
People are curious, even Taishici is no exception.
Xu Shu recalled the past and said, "When he was defeated in Jingzhou, Liu Xuande and I brought the remaining troops to Yizhou. He gained the trust of Liu Zhang. He designed and seized Yizhou, and used it as the foundation to help Liu Xuande support the Han Dynasty. However, everything went very smoothly, but he didn't know that His Majesty had started to work on Yizhou long before Liu Xuande took over Yizhou. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others were already his Majesty's ministers. They were obedient on the surface, but they kept making trouble in secret. Liu Xuande had an Yizhou, but was trapped. I tried my best to ensure that Liu Xuande could defend Yizhou. Unfortunately, when I fought in Wenshan County, the entire army was wiped out, so the rear of Yizhou was empty and Chengdu fell. I, Xu Shu, had no face to see Liu Xuande, so I lived in seclusion."
Xu Shu roughly told the whole story.
Taishici really didn't know about the matter in Yizhou. Now he finally understood that no wonder Liu Yu could take over Yizhou so quickly. It turned out that there was an insider in Yizhou long ago.
"Ziyi, are you wondering that I have lived in seclusion? Why did I still come here?" Xu Shu said lightly.
Taishici nodded gently.
Xu Shu continued: "I knew that when Your Majesty had no news about me, I would definitely search around Yizhou, so I lived in seclusion in Chengdu City. However, my fate is often so wonderful that I was found by Your Majesty himself."
"Haha, you have a great fate with Liu Yu! Of course, Liu Yu will not let him go as a talented man. I wonder where Mr. Xu is now in office?" Taishi Ci did not agree with Xu Shu's words, and the sarcasm on his face came again.
Xu Shu said softly: "I don't have any official positions below, so I teach and educate people in Luoyang!"
"Hmm? Do you think you believe this?" Taishi Ci really didn't believe it.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Xu Shu refused to deny it, and it's better for Taishi Ci to believe it. "I came to you today because Your Majesty summoned me. I know my loyalty and righteousness very well, so I came here."
"Do you think someone will surrender to Liu Yu?" Taishi Ci sneered in his heart: After saying so much, the fox's tail was still exposed.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "What Ziyi pursues is one is loyalty and two is righteousness. Let's ask Ziyi, what is loyalty and righteousness?"
Taishici shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu, don't waste your words, I will not do anything for Liu Yu."
"Does Ziyi know that Sun Ce has already claimed to be a public servant without authorization?" Xu Shu asked.
Taishici nodded gently. On the way to Luoyang, he also heard the discussion between Liu Jun and was no longer shocked by the news.
Xu Shu said seriously: "Gaozu once said: If you are not Liu, you will not be called king, and if you are not worthy of merit, you will not be given titles. What kind of virtue does Sun Ce have? How dare you be called a public rashly? It will inevitably cause disgust in the world and cause self-destruction!"
"Hmph! Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers?" Taishi Ci knew this sentence.
Xu Shu looked at Taishi Ci and then said, "Okay! Ziyi has given everything for Sun Ce. But you are trapped in the hands of our army. Did Sun Ce send a soldier to rescue you? In my opinion, Sun Ce is a person who deceives the world and steals reputation!"
"You!" Taishici was furious.
Xu Shu looked directly at Taishi Ci and said, "Isn't it? You Taishi Ci was the rear of Sun Ce Palace and were captured by our army. If I were Sun Ce, I would definitely rescue you at all costs. Unfortunately, Sun Ce did not. Cheng Pu is a good example. He is in Xiangyang, Jingzhou and is worried about Sun Ce every day. Does Sun Ce want to go and rescue him?"
Taishici was speechless.
Indeed, Sun Ce did not send anyone to rescue him, nor did he send anyone to rescue Cheng Pu. In fact, it was not that Sun Ce did not do it, but that even if Sun Ce did it, it would be futile.
"But Ziyi, don't worry, you have no time to live like this. Preparedly, Sun Ce is now unconscious." Xu Shu threw a bomb.
"What did you say?" Taishi Ci was shocked. He really didn't know the news.
"It seems that you don't know the filthiness of the Sun family! Let me tell you!" Xu Shu began to fabricate some lies.
This lie is that when Sun Quan saw that Sun Ce was called a master, he was envious and jealous. After learning that the court and Liu Yu were in charge of the army, Sun Quan wanted to surrender, so he sent someone to poison Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
This lie is official, and Xu Shu used it casually.
"Impossible! Zhongmou is not such a person!" Taishi Ci couldn't accept it for a moment.
Xu Shu sighed and said, "Zi Yi, it's been so many years since the troubled times. You still don't know whether you know people or not? If I hadn't met you a few times, I wouldn't have come here to see Zi Yi waste my talents. Whether you want to surrender to the court or live in this prison, everything is in your hands. I'm going to say goodbye!"
After saying that, Xu Shu stood up, ignored Taishi Ci's reaction, and walked out of the prison door.
The prison head instantly closed the prison door, nodded and took Xu Shu out of the prison.
Taishi Ci looked at Xu Shu's back blankly, and his mind was filled with what Xu Shu said.
"The lord was poisoned! Eastern Wu is in danger! But I can't help anything here!" Taishi Ci was very regretful.
However, even if it is regret, what can Taishici do? He can't do anything!
"Even if I die, I will not betray my lord!" Taishici's eyes showed a look of perseverance.
Xu Shu walked out of the prison, and Li Gui immediately went up to meet him and asked respectfully: "Mr. Yuanzhi, have you gained anything?"
Xu Shu sighed and said, "Hi, I've tried my best!"
Chapter completed!
