Sitting in the study, Yuan Yao was anxious. The meeting in the temple had now spread to the local area. Yuan Yao had no idea about the period of land reform. Instead, it was another matter, the investigation of Yanzhou Mu. Yuan Yao was completely panicked, and the emperor wanted to send servants from the Supervisory Office to Yanzhou to investigate in person.
Servant of the Supervisory Office, isn’t this going to be a bad thing?
Yuan Yao was wandering in the study, but Sima Yi was sitting aside very calmly, drinking tea calmly, looking at Yuan Yao who was like a headless fly in front of him with a smile, "Why are you so flustered? Come on, sit down. ", Sima Yi waved his hand, and Yuan Yao was furious, "Cousin, you are not in a hurry. In half a month, Zhang Fei will come to arrest people!!"
"Hahaha, just come. Anyway, you are the one handling things these days. When the time comes, I will turn you in, and maybe you will be punished less..." Sima Yi said slowly.
Yuan Yao sat helplessly in front of Sima Yi and asked: "You are really not in a hurry at all. Forget it, I won't be in a hurry anymore. Anyway, the various prefects in Yanzhou no longer listen to us, so what? Some are sarcastic, hey, I'm afraid Zhang Fei will come and take us both away directly."
"Bullshit..." Sima Yi couldn't help but cursed. He looked at Yuan Yao in front of him with disappointment, shook his head and said, "When will you have some brains? Why did he arrest you? Just because you are my relative. ??If he arrests you and takes you to Tingwei Prison, I am afraid that the next moment he will be thrown into Xiuyi Prison by Yuan Shang..."
"Oh? He won't arrest me? It's none of my business?" Yuan Yao asked happily.
"Yeah." Sima Yi nodded.
Yuan Yao laughed, stood up, and said: "In that case, I'm going to play. It's none of my business anyway, so I'll say goodbye!!" He bowed his hands and was about to leave. Sima Yi's eyes widened and he rolled his eyes. He stood up after lifting his sleeves. Yuan Yao immediately sat down and said with a grin: "Brother, I'm joking with you. It's just a joke. Don't be angry."
"But, he won't arrest me. Zhang Fei's coming is just a warning from the Emperor to me. It's also my fault. In recent days, I have been living too leisurely. I am bound to win the position of Shangshu Ling. I have never cared about the political affairs of Yanzhou, but even though I accepted the gift, I also returned the gift and did not do anything for others. This cannot be considered a crime."
"I'm afraid that I will never have free time in the future. I will be busy with politics all day long..."
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Yuan Yao couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, your Majesty hates corrupt officials the most. How can you be so sure that you will not be punished?"
"The emperor hates corrupt officials the most, but he also loves talents the most. As long as it is not a major crime of treason or other crimes, even if they are based on talent, His Majesty will not blame him. This is the only weakness of the emperor today. He loves talents. Being as determined as you are, being eager for talents is certainly a sign of a wise king, so I know in my heart that I will never be punished too much."
Yuan Yao snorted, nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then I will help my cousin govern the country?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "No need. If I get busy, I won't have the time to teach you. Just take this letter and go to Yangzhou."
"Yangzhou?? What should I do in Yangzhou?" Yuan Yao looked confused. Sima Yi smiled and said: "There is a mansion in Yangzhou, and it is also the only one located outside the temple. It is called overseas mansion. Pu She is
A talented man with both civil and military talents, he is your father's direct disciple and your father's only disciple. You can learn from him..."
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment. He still had some impressions of his father's disciple. In his impression, he was a very handsome uncle. Every time he went to Luoyang, he would come to pay homage to his mother and also greet his mother.
Occasionally he would give himself some gifts and the like, but what impressed him most was his handsomeness, which was much different from his own master's.
Yuan Yao asked: "Is he still a talented person in both civil and military fields?"
"Yes, he is your father's direct descendant. He has governed Gongyang all his life. He can be regarded as the second person in the Gongyang sect today. If he concentrates on studying and teaching the prince, where will it be his turn to Cui Yan?! In addition,
Ah, the navy in Yangzhou is under his command. He has gone to sea many times, and has never been defeated in either land or sea battles. He can often destroy an overseas country with three to four hundred soldiers."
Yuan Yao's eyes widened, then he suddenly laughed stupidly and said, "Okay, I'll learn from him!"
"Well, you will set off tomorrow for Yangzhou. Pay attention to safety on the way. Even if you don't write me a letter, don't forget to say hello to your mother."
Two days later, Yuan Yao left Yanzhou and rushed to Yangzhou. Sima Yi couldn't even see him off because he was about to accept accountability from the Supervisory Office, so he couldn't go out or leave the Prefectural Mufu. Yuan Yao could only
Neng led a group of slaves and rode horses to Yangzhou. This time, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry. He was looking at the scenery and observing the local customs along the way.
At this moment, the difference between the north and the south was still very huge. The most obvious one was in the accent. Yuan Yao walked all the way south. Gradually, he found that he could not even ask for directions. When he met ordinary people who did not understand elegant language, he could not speak at all.
Unable to communicate, Yuan Yao successfully learned their accent. However, when Yuan Yao felt proud that he had learned it, he came to the next county.
The accent suddenly changed again.
Yuan Yao looked confused.
In this way, more than half a month passed, and he still had not arrived at his destination. However, at this time, Zhang Fei had already arrived in Yanzhou. Many officials from Yanzhou went to see him one after another. Some people had even sorted out Sima Yi's crimes.
He handed it over to Zhang Fei who came. Zhang Fei was not polite to these people and hurried towards the Prefecture Mufu with his people.
Sima Yi sat calmly in the study. The servants beside him worriedly talked about the officials' impeachment of him. Sima Yi just smiled disdainfully.
"Boom!" The door was kicked open. Zhang Fei walked into the courtyard with a strong back and led his soldiers all the way to the study. Hearing the sound outside, Sima Yi stood up helplessly and walked out of the study.
As soon as they walked out of the study, the two groups met. Sima Yi looked at the irritable Zhang Pushe in front of him and bowed his hands.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang is still as tough as ever."
Zhang Fei sneered, "Needless to say, His Majesty trusted you so much, but you have failed the Emperor's high hopes and done such an evil thing. Now, nothing you say is of any use!!!"
"Then how will Mr. Zhang punish me?"
"Come here! Put him in the prison car and take him back to Luoyang!!" Zhang Fei yelled, and immediately some soldiers came forward, escorted Sima Yi, and walked out of the house. Sima Yi was a little panicked now. , This is different from what he thought. Could it be that the emperor really wants to deal with him? No, he didn't do anything, he just got closer to his subordinates. What kind of crime does this count?
Without giving Sima Yi a chance to explain, several strong soldiers directly threw him into the prison cart. The servants and family members in the mansion burst into tears. Sima Yi quickly shouted: "Don't you need to investigate, Mr. Zhang???" , Zhang Fei ignored his shouts and took him away from here, heading towards Luoyang.
Many eunuchs and the like were extremely panicked when they saw Sima Yi being taken away by Zhang Fei so easily.
This is true even for Sima Yi. Looking at Zhang Fei's posture, is he really going to be taken to Luoyang?
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure it was the emperor who asked you to escort me back to Luoyang?"
"The emperor asked me to handle this case. Your crimes have been shown to me by the governors from all over the country. I will take you back to Luoyang and hand you over to Man Chong for investigation!!!" Zhang Fei said, not caring about it and walking all the way. He galloped towards Luoyang quickly. Sitting in the prison car, Sima Yi felt like crying. Why did he meet such a reckless man?
The emperor would never deal with him for such a trivial matter, he believed this, but Zhang Fei wanted to make a fuss out of a molehill and hand himself over to Man Chong. If he fell into Man Chong's hands, and with all these evidence, Can the emperor really save himself from Man Chong? Man Chong is even more reckless than Zhang Fei.
In the past, the emperor forced Man Chong to release Yuan Shao's son. Man Chong directly threatened to commit suicide, so that the emperor did not dare to intervene.
If it falls into his hands... Sima Yi thought about this all day long, but his heart became more and more panicked. I was still too confident, too confident. All day long I thought I had grasped the emperor's weakness and persisted. You are proud of your talent, but you have forgotten that there are still these rough guys in the temple. Now you have harmed yourself. What can you do about it??
Under such an annoyed situation, Sima Yi actually thought of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang served as the sergeant and was in charge of Zhang Fei and Man Chong. Could it be that he specifically ordered Zhang Fei to prevent himself from competing with him? The power of the temple wants to execute him as soon as possible? Yes, he is the direct boss of Zhang Fei and Man Chong. Everything is a bit unusual, it must be him!!!
This village man, I have known for a long time that he is cunning, cunning, and extremely vicious, but he did not expect that he would be so vicious that he would not hesitate to frame Zhongliang in order to fight for power and gain. He is a traitor through the ages!
Zhang Feilu was all about speed and didn't care about Sima Yi's feelings in the prison car. He kept accelerating. Sima Yi was bumpy all day and became a little decadent. After driving for a long time, in January of the 13th year of Yankang, They had just returned to the Sili area. When Zhang Fei and the prison car arrived at Luoyang, Sima Yi's eyes lit up.
He saw the familiar figure standing at the city gate.
"Uncle, my brother!!"
Sima Yi shouted, Sima Fu was stunned, turned his head, and happened to see his brother in the prison car. Sima Yi quickly shouted: "Go to Houde Hall quickly, go to the emperor, let the emperor rescue me, don't let me go to the court." Lieutenant!!" Zhang Fei came over quickly, took Sima Fu to the side, and the two of them didn't know what they said, but Sima Fu kept nodding.
After a while, Sima Fu walked up to Sima Yi and bowed to Sima Yi. His voice was trembling, and he said: "I already know about brother. Brother, please go on your way in peace. I will definitely meet my sister-in-law and nephew at home."
Take good care of them and never let them be bullied."
Sima Yi was stunned, and the prison car drove slowly by. Sima Fu watched the prison car go away, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.
You old Zhuge thief, you actually bribed all my brothers!!!
