After more than a month of trial, the case of Cao Ze's rebellion was finally decided. Xiao Jie, Yan Zhiyuan is a Qin cha with full power to interrogate on the surface, but in fact, he has to consult Sima Ni and Xue Bilong for the opinions of Sima Ni and Xue Bilong in every detail - this is also for the sake of safety, after all, the two of them are still guilty. Sima Ni and Xue Bilong also didn't know much about Xiao Zhen's meaning, this young king, what he did and what he said, was unexpected, and he could get a glimpse of Guo Zhang's affairs.

Xiao Zhi is now in the Taihe Hall to review the conviction of Cao Ze Xiao Yan sent by Xiao Jie, Yan Zhiyuan, Sima Ni and Xue Bilong, the two of them have a total of 36 articles, Xiao Zhi read them carefully one by one, and he knows that Xie Lan has tactfully conveyed his meaning to several people, the main purpose of the crime is to accuse Cao Ze Xiao Yan of forming a party for personal gain, bullying his subordinates, acting arbitrarily, conniving at his subordinates to occupy people's land without authorization, and becoming corrupt, and only briefly pointed out the major matter of plotting against the monarch.

At the end of the recital, "Cao Ze is an auxiliary minister, the first king is a heavy minister, whether the law is correct or not, it comes from the king's holy judgment." Such ingenious words opened a way for Cao Ze to survive, and it must have always been the idea of Sima Ni, who is well versed in the way of being a minister, and is sleek and shrewd.

After all, with Xue Bilong's character who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, he definitely doesn't want to let Cao Ze go easily.

A few people can present such a recital, I don't know how long Sima Ni and Xue Bilong have been arguing, Xiao Jie, Yan Zhiyuan and how to make peace next to him, a few old people who are over half a hundred years old are blushing for this matter, blowing their noses and glaring, thinking about it, I think it's interesting, I really want to see it with my own eyes, Xiao Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"Why is the king so happy?" Sima Qing came to visit, and happened to see Xiao Zhi's smiling appearance, and he was also very happy.

"Come and see, Xue Bilong gave me an excerpt and pleaded for Cao Ze!" Xiao Zhi did not shy away from it, and pulled Sima Qing to watch the twists and turns together.

"Would that upright Lord Xue also say such a thing? What a rarity! Sima Qing carefully read the content of the excerpt, and when she saw the end, she was very surprised, "What is the king going to do?" ”

"I naturally want to deal with it lightly, in fact, they haven't set off much of a storm, and now all countries are eyeing Qi Guo, just want to see us in chaos, but they can't fall into their way."

"The concubine also thinks so, stability is the foundation of the country." Sima Qing asked people to put down the food box they brought, thought for a long time and said, "The concubine has a word, Cao Ze and Xiao Yan are rare talents, but Su Ri's eyes are above the top, and he is too proud." Now that the king has put down the rebellion of the two, they have also seen the true ability of the king, and they will naturally tame them, so it is better to activate them elsewhere. ”

"Do you mean to punish them openly and appoint them secretly?" Xiao Zhi was a little surprised, he just wanted to let them live, but he didn't think that there was such a way.

"Didn't the king say before, if Cao Ze and Xiao Yan took the throne, the Qi Kingdom would not perish, the king admired their talents very much. If you appreciate it, why not use it? Sima Qing analyzed, "Now that all countries are ready to move, and war is about to break out, it is even more time for me to use people." ”

"When I was at home, my father often told me how the former king reused him and Cao Ze, and it was a good story, Cao Ze was loyal to the first king, and I think he rebelled only after being blinded for a while."

"If it weren't for Xiao Yan's demagogy, Cao Ze probably wouldn't have rebelled." Xiao Zhi thought about the previous events and said, "He also sacrificed his life to save the first king several times." ”

"That's it, as long as the king moves with reason and knows with affection, Cao Ze will agree to continue to serve the king, and Xiao Yan is the same." Saying this, Sima Qing showed a grim expression, and his gaze sharpened a little, "After all, the two of them are now like beasts with their teeth pulled out, and they will no longer threaten the authority of the king, as long as they have a little training, they can be at the mercy of the king." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like falling into the water, and no sound could be heard again, Sima Qing came back to his senses, this is in the palace, not at home, what he said just now can only be thought in his heart, and it is a big rebellion to say it. She looked at Xiao Zhi uneasily, but found that Xiao Zhi also looked back at her, and her appreciation was beyond words.

"You're really a female middle school, that's a good idea." Xiao Zhi excitedly paced back and forth in the main hall, as if thinking about a specific approach, "In this way, I will kill two birds with one stone, not only to save the lives of the two people, but also to use it for me." ”

"The concubine is in the harem, and she is a woman, and her words violate the identity system." Sima Qing lowered her head.

"What's this, although you are a woman, your strategy is far better than those men a hundred times, to be honest, I didn't even think of this trick." As Xiao Zhen, who has received modern education, he knows that women are not to be underestimated, this is the difference in the concept of different times, and he appreciates the scheming woman in front of him very much.

"Now I am the king, and I will set the rules and regulations." Xiao Zhi said with a serious face, "I allowed you to participate in the discussion of government politics because I know that you are an excellent strategist with foresight and ideas, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not." ”

"Now I'm going to draft an edict, and as my advisor, the king will advise me later." Xiao Zhi sat still, beckoned Sima Qing to come over without raising his head, helped the pen in his hand, polished the cinnabar, he wanted to draft this edict himself, pondered for a while, and then picked up the pen and wrote:

Cao Ze is an old minister, deeply favored by the country, served the edict of the first king, assisted in government affairs, and should be refined and white, and serve the country loyally. I don't want Cao Ze to form a party and disrupt national politics......

Leaving the palace from the West Corner Gate, bypassing the bustling vegetable market, Xiao Zhi saw that the pedestrians on the road were not too crowded. In recent years, there has been no snow in the winter, and it looks dry and cold. There are still a few dead leaves hanging from the branches of the trees beside the road, struggling in the howling north wind, which adds to the solemn atmosphere. But because he left Miyagi temporarily, he felt that all the things buzzing around his head had dispersed, and Xiao Zhi still felt an indescribable broadness and pleasure. Xie Lan, Fang Fei served on the left and right, the little eunuch who had changed into civilian clothes also raised his whip and shouted happily, the four horses were familiar with the road and trotted, the voices of people, cars, and cheers were intertwined, very harmonious, and finally had popularity, Xiao Zhi felt very safe.

That's what it's like to be alive.

The carriage was slowly passing through the street, and the sound of singing on the side of the street came like nothing, Xiao Zhi listened carefully,

The autumn leaves fall, and the red face withers and falls into the dusty wind. Just believe in Yinxi, the concubine's life is intolerable! Why can the mud be smeared in the rain and the ditch turn to zero? Moth's eyebrows are frowned, where does Qingbi exist? But the rain is merciless, and the wind is merciless!

There is only one erhu playing the tune sizzlingly, the tune is sad, and the female voice singing the song is out of breath as if she has cried.

"What kind of tune is this? I don't think I've heard of it before. ”

"This song is called "Concubine Bo Life", which tells the story of the abandonment of a woman in the Qinglou." Fang Fei listened, and couldn't help but think of Cuigu's matter, and unconsciously added a sad atmosphere between her eyebrows, but she had to force a smile at Xiao Zhen, "This song can't be on the stage, the king naturally hasn't heard it." ”

"Is it a woman in the green house? That's not like Cuigu. Because of the relationship in his previous life, Xiao Zhi is very good at observing words and emotions - this is the basic quality of a thief, he can see Fang Fei's displeasure, and he can probably guess what she is thinking. simply pointed out directly, "It's just that their circumstances are different, the woman was abandoned, and Cuigu committed suicide in a dilemma." ”

"It's pathetic."

"There's nothing to be pitiful about. It's all your own choice, just follow your heart. Xiao Zhi thought for a while, "But I don't agree with this approach, people, it's better to die than to live." ”

The carriage slowly stopped at the east gate of the city, this is the place where it was agreed to meet Song Qinglian, Xiao Zhi opened the curtain and looked out, only to see Wu Haoze wearing civilian clothes, holding a cigarette pouch and standing far away at the gate of the city, even if he was standing casually and waiting for others, he was still straight, and he looked quite different in the crowd of people coming and going, and he saw the stopped carriage and walked straight over.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, you're forty-six minutes later than the agreed time, please be on time next time." Wu Haoze said stiffly, with a lot of dissatisfaction between his words, "Let's go." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm too busy." What a serious person, Xiao Zhi smiled, a little embarrassed.

"Don't make excuses for yourself."

"Got it, got it." Xiao Zhi thought about it, and it was naturally better not to let ordinary people know about what he had crossed, so he instructed the people around him, "You are all waiting here, I have some personal matters to deal with with General Wu, and I will come back in a while." ”

Xie Lan Fangfei was still a little uneasy, and just wanted to say something to dissuade her, Xiao Zhi only waved her hand and said, "You know General Wu's strength, and he is my confidant, so don't worry." He didn't wait for them to agree, but asked the guards to bring two horses, and the two of them rode on their horses and disappeared.
