"Cai Mao is really restless, it has only been a long time since I released him before he made such a big move. And this Kuai Yue, he is simply a madman, he is afraid that Guishan will not know about our existence, right? ”

Jinling, seeing the letter from Cai Mao, Yuan Shu was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, this matter is also related to the power of the family in Guishan, and these people must be severely punished to set an example!" Tian Feng stood up directly and said in a deep voice.

"Don't the families have Xun Yue's old man in charge? How can these people be so presumptuous, this thing is paddling again? Yuan Shu said hatefully.

Guo Jia said in a frivolous tone: "At the beginning, Your Majesty, you promised to place Chen Gongtai under Zhong Yu as an assistant, but as a result, he was transferred to Liaodong again just a few days after he was transferred, Zhong Yu didn't want to pick a son!" ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, his face turned dark and said: "There are priorities, Chen Gongtai's ability is the most suitable for that place in Liaodong, and I am not trying to deceive him." And this guy dares to call me by my name, it's simply a king's law. ”

"So, what are you going to do with him, Your Majesty?" Jia Xu said quietly.

"I ...... There's really nothing you can do with him! Yuan Shugang, who was provoked to anger, was about to pretend to be responsible, but he was embarrassed to find that he really couldn't punish Xun Yue.

Degraded officials? This product doesn't care about official positions, let alone officials who are lower than swords and pens? Flog? This old man is in his fifties, and he has a lot of prestige among Confucianism, how dare he do this? And this product has no hobbies, no heirs, no friends, it's just a stinky stone, and it was a waste of effort to be able to invite this product out of the mountain.

Yuan Shu is very aggrieved now, he has always been domineering, and he is not afraid of the imperial power of the family, but there is nothing he can do about these old men. From Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Huang Chengyan and others to this guy, they all dared to confront him in private, and he didn't have any temper at all.

"Your Majesty is still kind!" Everyone present smiled when they heard this, and their hearts thought of it.

The equality and kindness in the thought of the previous life have not dissipated in Yuan Shu's heart, and the cherishing of human life and the equality of treating people are the "habits" that Yuan Shu cannot get rid of as a modern person. Although these old men were very angry, Yuan Shu never hated each other because of this, at most he complained. Because in Yuan Shu's heart, his little unhappiness is far less important than a human life. Although these old men are stubborn, they are still very knowledgeable, and they are very cooperative with his majesty on formal occasions, and he has no reason to do anything to the other party because of this.

"Your Majesty, although General Cai Mao's move is a bit risky, for now, the result is good. This arrangement was not negligent, the news was not revealed, and a large warship and a general of Guishan were intercepted, which deserved to be commended. Guo Jia said with a smile. He doesn't have a good impression of Cai Mao, but the other party's approach is quite in line with his temper.

"Your Majesty, no. Cai Mao disobeyed His Majesty's order, disregarded the overall situation, and committed this risky move, which should be punished severely. Otherwise, if other families and generals stationed in the border follow suit, it is very easy to cause trouble. When Tian Feng heard this, he glared at Guo Jia fiercely and said straightly.

"Gongda, what do you think?" Yuan Shu had already made a decision in his heart, and when he heard the exhortation of the two, he looked at Xun Yu and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, what Feng Xiao and Yuan Hao said is reasonable. The minister thought that Cai Mao's crime must be punished, but he remembered that he had made great contributions and did not make trouble, and he would be able to offset the merits and punish the big commandments. Xun Yu said impartially.

got the answer he wanted, and the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth hooked: "What Gongda said is good, just like you said." ”

"Cai Mao, with a reckless temperament, disregarding the king's life, ignoring the overall situation and sending troops privately, should be punished heavily. However, remembering that he acted shrewdly and thoughtfully this time, he immediately attacked one piece, punished him for temporarily resigning from his post as commander of the navy for one month, and fined him for one year. Yuan Shu ordered.

It seems to be a punishment, but in fact, it is not painful or itchy, it is completely a show, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Tian Feng. This is the benefit of having a minister, any black pot can make Tian Feng carry it, anyway, if there are more debts, the difference is nothing more than that the hater Tian Feng's people can be discharged from Jinling to Jingzhou to be able to be ranked to Liangzhou.

This punishment was the result of the tacit cooperation of Yuan Shu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others. This kind of behavior itself has absolutely to be punished, but the result is really good, and it is not good to punish it severely, so it is enough to punish it verbally without pain. As for the offsetting of merits and demerits, if Yuan Shu really did this, it is estimated that Cai Mao would be worried. Because the generals who encountered this situation were either Jian Zai's heart or were hung up by Yuan Shuji, Cai Mao could never be the former.

"What is the situation of the Guishan warship that Cai Mao captured?"

Tian Feng said: "The damage is serious and can no longer be used for navigation, but the core part has not been damaged and can be imitated and rebuilt." They reckonably thought that their captors were pirates, and that there was no way to spend time on a wrecked ship that was difficult to repair, so they let their guard down. ”

What Tian Feng said was not bad at all, how could Zhu Disang think that a group of "pirates" could also build ships, and they spied on their ship technology. Generally, pirates use the ship directly after seizing it, and if the damage is more serious, it will be abandoned directly, so Zhu Disang just ordered the soldiers to scuttle the bottom of the ship, and did not care much, which gave Cai Mao Zhang Yun an opportunity.

"Let Cai Mao send someone to send the ship to Lu Lao's hands, study it carefully, and strive to thoroughly understand all the technologies in it, and complete the improvement of the new generation of warships. This old man has been thinking about steel ships lately, and it is time to pay attention to these aspects of technology, and it is not a good thing to work behind closed doors. Yuan Shu said directly.

"No."

"There is also the problem of dealing with the captured general of the Guishan Water Army, Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue are crazy enough, they both want to infiltrate the enemy army, and they are not afraid of self-defeating? If the slightest mistake goes wrong, exterminating them is not enough to atone for their crimes. Yuan Shu said.

He's not kidding, it's an empire's problem. If something goes wrong with them, it is likely to directly cause Guishan to raise his vigilance and delay his plan to dominate Guishan. At every turn, it is the consequences of losing tens of thousands of soldiers and years, which they simply cannot bear.

When Guo Jia heard this, he showed a rare serious expression, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue must also understand the risks and possible culpabilities involved. Since the two of them dare to do this, they must have a certain degree of certainty. Kuai Yue's spiritual talent, Your Majesty, is also clear, and if you use it well, you can indeed complete the covert infiltration of the Kushan army. If it really succeeds, it will be a great force for our future battle with Kushan, and it will be worth trying. ”

And Tian Feng also rarely stood up with Guo Jia's views and said: "Your Majesty, what Feng Xiao said is reasonable. Although Guishan is now in turmoil in the country, after all, it has just passed its peak for only a few decades, and the national strength is still difficult for us to conquer. Even if there is a mental calculation or no intention, it will be difficult for us to swallow it up when we go on an expedition to fight away. Breaking through from within is a good move. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and unconsciously knocked on the table and fell into deep thought, constantly calculating the risks and losses in his heart.

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

Jia Xu's eyes closed slightly, and he said lightly: "Risks and benefits coexist, since Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart, why bother asking." ”

"Gongda?"

"It's the same as what Feng Xiao thinks." Xun You's face was calm.

"Okay, in that case, let's give it a try." Hearing the words of several conspirators around him, Yuan Shu threw away the trace of cowardice and worry in his heart and said firmly.
