Chapter 846 Self-nomination as a lobbyist
"Humph! If you look at these people in your charge, they say everything, don't you say that there is no secret in the palace? As soon as he saw Xiao Xiangzi, Zhang Chao snorted coldly, and then the voice of accountability sounded.
"Yes, slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty, please punish the emperor." Asked by Zhang Chao, Xiao Xiangzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and his whole body trembled.
Zhang Chao is the emperor, his words are Chrysostom, once he speaks, it is a holy decree, it cannot be changed, with his identity, once he loses Zhang Chao's support, it will really be nothing, and even in the second half of his life, his life will be a problem.
Nowadays, he is respected, and even many important ministers in the court look at him differently, but the reason for this is nothing more than Zhang Chao's reasons. If he didn't have it, what would he be?
Therefore, when Zhang Chao was angry now, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, saying that he was guilty.
Zhang Chao was indeed a little angry, such as Sun Quan's arrest, it should not have reached Sun Shangxiang's ears, which could only play a role in chaos, but the matter still came over, which is enough to prove that there are still people in the palace talking nonsense, which is not conducive to the stability of the overall situation.
As the old saying goes, home and everything prosper. Once the harem is messed up, it is not a good thing for the previous dynasty, which is why Zhang Chao reprimanded Xiao Xiangzi.
Of course, Zhang Chao also knows Xiao Xiangzi's temperament, and knows that this person is a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense, but after all, you are the chief eunuch, and if you don't manage your subordinates well, you have to be held accountable, otherwise, something similar will happen next time.
Xiao Xiangzi knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously until blood came out of his forehead. At this time, Queen Cai Yan also rushed into the courtyard and happened to see this scene.
"Zhang..." I just wanted to call Zhang Lang, but considering that there are so many outsiders now, Cai Yan still changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has asked you for peace." ”
"Hehe, the queen is here, come here." I haven't seen Cai Yan for two years, and Zhang Chao misses it very much, so he hurriedly beckoned when he saw it.
Cai Yan was also very happy when he saw Zhang Chao's happy face, and when he walked by, he asked softly, "What's going on?" ”
"What's going on? Hum! A little thing can be transmitted to the palace, is it possible that we are in the market here, and there is no secret and rule to speak of? Zhang Chao said as if he was explaining to Cai Yan.
Cai Yan immediately knew in his heart that it must be Sun Shangxiang's brother Sun Quan who was arrested. In this matter, the queen who is the master of the harem has also done some measures, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter still spreads. It's just that she didn't expect Zhang Chao to be so angry, in her opinion, it is impossible to hide such a thing, and it will definitely be known by Sun Shangxiang.
Of course, Zhang Chao also understands this truth, he just wants to use this kind of thing to warn those people in the palace who like to spread words, just to give them a warning, and now he is just talking about things.
Zhang Chao seemed to be displeased, but Cai Yan could still see that her Zhang Lang did not really mean to punish Xiao Xiangzi, otherwise, he would arrange for someone to ask the guilt directly, instead of calling for questioning. The so-called acquaintance Mo Ruo's wife, after knowing his meaning, Cai Yan said as a collaborator, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiangzi is quite dutiful, you think it's better to let him get up first." ”
"Thank you, master, the slave is indeed guilty and does not dare to get up." Xiao Xiangzi, who was kneeling on the ground, was also clever, and kowtowed in the direction of Cai Yan again, and then turned to Zhang Chao's direction to kowtow again, and the blood on his head flowed out for a while.
Cai Yan interceded for him, Zhang Chao had no intention of punishing, and immediately borrowed a donkey to go downhill and said: "Okay, the queen has interceded for you, it seems that you are still serious about doing things." In that case, arise first, and find out the matter to me, find the messenger, and die. There will be similar things in the future, take you and ask. ”
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, such a thing will never happen in the future." After Xiao Xiangzi kowtowed three more times, he got up and retreated with his head down, but soon after, a rectification movement within the palace began, and I don't know how many people were affected and punished.
Zhang Chao punished Xiao Xiangzi, and this scene was also seen by Sun Shangxiang on the side, she knew that it was because of herself that she had affected others, but she wanted to stand up and say something, but when she saw Zhang Chao's expression, she was a little unhappy, and she didn't say what she was holding back. After all, she was still worried about the safety of her younger brother Sun Quan's life, and the rest needed to be put aside first.
Not long after Cai Yan came, after a while, several other imperial concubines also rushed here one by one, and Shenghua Palace became very lively for a while.
The ladies and children in the palace came, and Zhang Chao was also happy to enjoy the joy of family, but this time did not last long, and Zhang Tian, the prince of the prison country, and Lu Su, the auxiliary minister, also rushed over.
After all, Zhang Chao had just come back, and there were still many things to deal with, and it was not convenient to stay in the harem longer, so he was ready to get up and leave, but when he saw Sun Shangxiang who had not yet opened the tears on his face, he sighed softly, patted her shoulder and said: "I know about Sun Quan's matter, and I will handle it properly, don't worry." ”
"Your Majesty." Hearing that Zhang Chao took the initiative to talk about his younger brother, Sun Shangxiang was naturally very excited.
Zhang Chao finally left, returned to the palace, and met the eldest son Zhang Tian and the auxiliary minister Lu Su who were waiting here.
The war against Rus' took two years, and the country also accumulated a lot of things, but fortunately, there was correspondence in peacetime, and Zhang Chao knew all the general things, but there was nothing urgent to deal with. But it was Sun Quan's matter that became a problem and was placed on Zhang Chao's shore.
Sun Quan is not only the second prince of Eastern Wu, but also the younger brother of the gorgeous concubine Sun Shangxiang, how to deal with this matter is indeed a bit tricky, at least Zhang Tian and Lu Su are not good at making decisions in private.
"What do you mean by saying and listening?" Zhang Chao knew their dilemma, but he didn't think that they hadn't thought of a way to solve things.
Zhang Chao asked like this, and the two naturally didn't dare to hide it, and immediately Lu Su stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Sun Quan's affairs can be handed over to Concubine Hua Guifei to deal with?" ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhang Chao pretended not to understand and asked. But in fact, such thoughts coincide with him.
"Your Majesty, that's what the minister thinks. Eastern Wu is different from Shu, they do not have any deep hatred with the Celestial Empire, and they have the relationship of Huafu Concubine, if it can be resolved peacefully or the best policy, in this way, we can spare enough energy to deal with the Shu Kingdom and the Western Regions Alliance, so that the day when our Celestial Empire will dominate the world will not be far away. Lu Su clenched his fists and said.
"Yes, father, the son also means this." Zhang Tian, the crown prince on the side, also said in agreement.
"Not bad." Zhang Chao also nodded in agreement, Dongwu is a rich land, and the population is also large, and the wars of these years will rarely affect there, and the name of the land of fish and rice is not something to be said casually. It would be a good thing if we could occupy it peacefully.
After Zhang Chao had an idea in his heart, he said when he looked at Zhang Tian and Lu Su: "Okay, that's the case, I will let Hua Guifei persuade Sun Quan, and you also need to contact the old ministers of Eastern Wu more to win the majority of people to support us, but at the same time, we must also prepare enough grain and grass to prepare for cutting down Shu." ”
The two-pronged approach, focusing on shock and persuasion for Eastern Wu, and adopting an iron-blooded policy for Shu, in this way, can solve the problems of China in the fastest time and at the lowest cost.
The policy was decided, and the crown prince Zhang Tian went to prepare grain and grass, with the countless gold and silver plundered from the Rus' country, he could buy enough grain and grass from the people, and it was not a big problem to support the army to cut down Shu.
Lu Su went to contact him, trying to win over more old ministers of Wu State, so as to disintegrate the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of Eastern Wu.
Zhang Chao returned to Shenghua Palace, and he needed Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan to meet, which was very important to solve the problem of Eastern Wu.
Zhang Chao went and returned, which made Sun Shangxiang happy and a little apprehensive.
is happy because Zhang Chao attaches great importance to herself, and she is worried because she is afraid of hearing bad luck.
Zhang Chao came, this time there was no Cai Yan waiting for the other wives, when there were only two people, and even Xiao Zhang Zhen was taken to the courtyard by the maid to play, this Zhang Chao talked about the policy on Soochow that he had just discussed with Zhang Tian and Lu Su.
"Xiang'er, Dongwu is your maiden family, and we are also Chinese, I really don't want to see the same room fight, and your younger brother Sun Quan is the main battle faction of Dongwu, this time he was arrested by us, what his fate will be, it all depends on how your father makes the decision next, of course, it is also very related to the result of your conversation with Sun Quan this time."
When Zhang Chao was still about to say something, Sun Shangxiang stood up excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, don't talk about it, Shangxiang knows what to do, don't worry, I will talk to Brother Quan well, I believe I can convince him." ”
Sun Shangxiang's eyes showed a very determined look. When Zhang Chao heard this, he also nodded slightly, "Okay, I hope Xiang'er can do a good job, I really don't want to meet with the Eastern Wu Soldiers, and I don't want Zhang Zhen to blame his father when he grows up, so I'll leave this matter to you." ”
There is another sentence, Zhang Chao did not say, that is, once Dongwu decides to go to war, he will not have the slightest mercy, after all, there are too many people who rely on him, and now any decision he makes is not only about himself, but about the whole country.
