Chapter 359: Taking Responsibility and Leading the Troops to Leave the Capital
In fact, after Guo Huai made a statement, Zhao Shu was indeed thinking about it, one was that he had already mastered the military power of Shu Han, and he was not very good at government affairs, so there was really no need to stay in Chengdu, recruit people to gossip, and he had to beware of being plotted from time to time; The second is Jiang Wan, Fei Yi is not like Fa Zheng, Kong Ming is generally ambitious, even if the two of them are allowed to preside over the government affairs of Chengdu, there will be no fire in the backyard, but it can make these two people govern Shu Han with peace of mind??.?? But thinking about these two points, it is not a good thing for Zhao Shu to lead his troops out. Coupled with Jiang Wan and Fei Yi's trouble, Zhao Shu really didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, and had the heart to act according to Guo Huai's wishes.
Zhao Shu saw that he couldn't help Fei Yi up, so he had to say: "My lord, get up and speak first, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation today." When Fei Yi said this to him, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he stood up and said: "The general is wise, Zhang Wei's actions are a heinous crime, I hope the general will handle it impartially and not lose the heart of a hundred officials." Zhao Shu had to nod and said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and Shu still has a few private words to discuss with the two adults." The implication was to drive those people out.
Fei Yi was afraid that Zhao Shu would scatter and disintegrate everyone, so he cleaned up one by one, and there was some hesitation on his face, but Jiang Wan was not afraid of Zhao Shu, and said loudly: "You will go first, if the official can't come out for half an hour, please notify Xiao'er to come and collect the body." When the people heard him say this, they had no choice but to take their leave.
After everyone dispersed, Zhao Shufu invited the two to take a seat, sat down in the middle of the middle, and slowly sorted out his thoughts. Jiang Wan was very impatient, waited for a while, and then asked, "If the general has something to say, say it quickly." Zhao Shu just thought about his words clearly, smiled faintly, and said, "There is nothing else to do if you leave the two adults." To tell you the truth, General Zhang led his troops into the city last night, which was really my order. Jiang Wan, Fei Yi naturally guessed that it was him, but he didn't expect Zhao Shu to say it so readily, but he didn't know how to answer, and couldn't help but glance at each other.
Zhao Shu continued: "Zhang Shao has the intention to cause harm, Shu has to do this, his own life is certainly more important than others??.? 'Are the two adults willing to stretch their necks so that others can't cut them off?' As for the matter of Empress Zhang, she is Zhang Shao's sister, I am afraid that she will hold a grudge and retaliate in the future, so I will avoid it, and now I think about it is indeed a little inappropriate. "Jiang Wan heard that he directly admitted that he was forcing the queen to die, where could he still live on the ground? suddenly slapped the case and said angrily: "What a thief! Since you are willing to admit this, you will kill Jiang again today, otherwise I will definitely announce your crime to the world. ”
Zhao Shu didn't look annoyed when he heard Jiang Wan scolding like "thief, thief", he just picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, and waited until the other party finished scolding, and then asked unhurriedly: "Since the adults are so angry with me, you might as well come and assassinate me." But we have to think about what happens to the Han Dynasty after Shu's death? Zhang Shao was lucky, so what? Jiang Wan really didn't think about it, but now that he heard Zhao Shu ask, he couldn't help but calm down, carefully imagining what would happen next if Zhao Shu died.
Zhao Shu didn't give him much time at all, so he continued: "Jingzhou Guo Huai has been with me for many years, and he is a brother. He was originally a general of Cao Wei, if he heard the news of Shu's murder, he must be afraid, although he could not return to Wei, but Sun Quan coveted Jingzhou for a long time. It is difficult to guarantee that Boji will not use the land of Jingxiang to attach to Eastern Wu and take the lives of the whole clan. Of course, Guo Huai is far away in Jingzhou and cannot threaten Chengdu. However, the two troops of Sili Captain Huan Yi and General Zhang Wei outside the city were enough to shed blood in Chengdu City. When it dawns, it is not only Zhang Shao and Queen Zhang who are afraid of death. ”
Although Zhao Shu did not explain, Jiang Wan also knew that he was referring to the emperor Liu Chan, and it was true that Huan Yi, Zhang Wei and others usually behaved in people, once Zhao Shu suffered an accident, Chengdu would inevitably be in turmoil. Jiang Wan is not Zhang Shao, and he also knows that Zhao Shu can't be moved, but can't he be allowed to act mischief and despise the imperial power because of this? Immediately said: "What the general said is indeed true, but the general is high and powerful, and once he has a whim, then he will ......" He sneered a few times and said: "Jingzhou's surname Sun or Zhao's surname seems to be average for Jiang." The implication is that it is no different from watching you Zhao Shu plot to usurp the throne and give Jingzhou to Eastern Wu.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Shu never thought of pulling Liu Chan down from the emperor's throne and then sitting on it himself. It's just that no one will believe who this is said to, but Zhao Shu still wants to continue, so he smiled bitterly: "Why do all the adults think of me like this?" Do those who are in positions of power have to have different aspirations? Speaking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but be a little considerate of Cao Cao, could it be that Cao Cao was born to want to be a traitor who was infamous through the ages? Or the times are pressing, it is not known.
Jiang Wan naturally wouldn't believe Zhao Shu's words with red mouth and white teeth, and besides, he even did the thing of forcing the palace last night, and dared to say that he had no different aspirations, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open? So he just snorted heavily, and didn't speak. Zhao Shu sighed, knowing that if there was no actual action, it would be difficult to win the trust of these words, so he said: "Zhang Shao acted, it is no wonder that he is not to blame, I am in this position, it is inevitable that everyone will be suspicious." Shu Si thinks about it, or there is only one way to prove his innocence. Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were surprised when they heard Zhao Shu say that they could prove their innocence, in such a situation, there seems to be no good way to make hundreds of officials feel that Zhao Shu has no different aspirations.
It is true that when he reaches Zhao Shu's status, there is no better way to prove that he has no ambition than to give up power, but for him, giving up power means death. Zhao Shu has been in the Three Kingdoms for many years, is there less blood he has seen? As long as he has no authority in his hands, not to mention those enemies in the past, the next person in power in Shu Han can let him go? So only Guo Huai's compromise method can be tried. Chengdu is the political center, but it does not have to become a military center, Kong Ming has attacked Wei many times, that is, the garrison Hanzhong, and later Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Jiang Wei are not perennial in Chengdu to govern. Since Zhao Shu didn't think about going further, why did he have to make people suspicious in Chengdu? What's more, Lu Rong's fuss last night had already forced Zhao Shu to the cusp, and he had reached an irreconcilable stage with Jiang Wan and other ministers of the central Han family, and he could only take a step back to broaden the sky.
Zhao Shu finally spoke, and said: "Since the two adults are suspicious of Shu's disobedience, Shu can only leave Chengdu and lead his troops to him." What do you two adults think? ”
In Jiang Wan's eyes, Zhao Shu is indeed inferior to Kong Ming everywhere, but there is one thing, Kong Ming has always been arbitrary, which may be out of confidence in his own talents, so if there is a decree, Kong Ming will decide on it. In the four years that Zhao Shu has been in power, no matter how big or small the matter, he has always asked Jiang Wan and Fei Yi for their opinions. Therefore, Jiang Wan felt from the bottom of his heart that this person didn't seem to have too much ambition, and secretly rejoiced for the Han dynasty, but last night's incident completely shattered Jiang Wan's illusions. believes that Zhao Shu is just a good hidden on weekdays, and there is actually no difference between him and Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others in his bones. When Zhao Shu said that he wanted to leave Chengdu, Jiang Wan felt lost again, Chengdu was the political center of the Shu Han Empire, Zhao Shu was willing to leave easily, did he really have no ambition? Jiang Wan really suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and turned his eyes to look at Fei Yi, but he looked at the other party with a puzzled face, and he didn't seem to understand Zhao Shu's intentions.
Jiang Wan coughed lightly and asked, "The general's words, the subordinate officials are not very clear, can you explain it more clearly?" Zhao Shu knew that the two of them doubted their sincerity, so he smiled lightly: "Shu Ben is a cloth cloth, deeply affected by the grace of the first emperor, and has the heart to assist His Majesty, swallow Wu to destroy Wei, and restore the Han Dynasty." However, he has been repeatedly suspicious of others, and he should have resigned from his official position and left with his seal, but the past kindness of the first emperor is still in front of him, how can he ignore the overall situation because of a moment of honor and disgrace? Shu returned alone, although he achieved fame through the ages, but the soldiers were cold, but they were afraid of being taken by Wei Wu, so they had to do their best. Now Shu Shen is misunderstood by the hundred officials, so he can only lead his troops to leave the capital, which can not only explain his doubts to the world, but also make Wei Wu come to commit crimes. So, what do you think of the two adults? ”
Zhao Shu's words, although some pretentious, are not entirely untrue, if he really abandons the official and goes into hiding. Jiang Wan asked himself to handle daily affairs, and he was still competent, but once Wei Wu came to attack, he might not be able to deal with it easily. Leaving Chengdu with troops, returning government affairs to His Majesty, and continuing to preside over military affairs, seems to be the best of both worlds. But Zhao Shu can really rest assured that Chengdu will be handed over to His Majesty and himself, so he is not afraid of making trouble in his backyard? Jiang Wanzheng was puzzled, but he heard Zhao Shu say: "Today, Yizhou is tired, and it is also the autumn of critical survival." And for several years, Cao Wei and Sun Wu did not dare to raise troops to invade, Gainshu and the two adults. If the two adults have the heart to be enemies of Shu, they will not only provoke jokes from other countries, but also cause great harm to the country's society. Shu Yuan left Chengdu, and knew that the two adults were loyal and had a sense of community. Shu Jin is willing to use his own body to ensure that Wei and Wu will not invade, and the two may swear in front of the first emperor Ling to ensure that the court is politically clear and the national strength is not weakened? ”
Zhao Shu's words provoked Jiang Wan to the point that he had no way out, his blood surged, and he said loudly: "The general can control the Quartet and prevent Wei Wu from attacking." The lower officials can also assist His Majesty wholeheartedly and establish the rule of prosperity. Zhao Shu was very happy when he heard him answer, so he stretched out his palm and said, "You and I high-five as an oath, how about it?" Jiang Wan did not allow it, stretched out his hand and struck Zhao Shu three times in a row, before he said: "If the general can really take care of the kindness of the first emperor and have no other ambitions, the lower officials will do their best to assist." Zhao Shu nodded, then picked up the initial topic, stared at the two, and asked, "What about General Zhang Wei ......?"
Jiang Wan and Fei Yi couldn't help but glance at each other again, and exchanged opinions with their eyes. Both of them knew that Zhao Shu could agree to leave Chengdu, saying that it was a show of his heart, and he just wanted to use this to exonerate Zhang Wei. I know that it is already very rare for Zhao Shu to do this, if the two of them refuse, they will get off the donkey, but they are afraid that Zhao Shu will regret it. Seeing Fei Yi nodding slightly, Jiang Wan said: "Since Zhang Shao really has the intention to murder the general, then he is to blame." As for the death of the queen, General Wangda is still buried with a state ceremony. This little request, Zhao Shu immediately nodded again and again, and said, "Just according to the words of the adult." The two adults can go back to the house to preside over the preparations, and Shu also has to prepare many matters, more than one month, as little as twenty years, and then they can leave Beijing. Jiang Wan and Fei Yi heard him say this, and they couldn't say anything more, so they saluted together and retired.
