Chapter 028: The General's Means

Du Yu hurriedly said: "General! ”

"You are Wei Chen, how can you kill the clan for no reason?"

"The noble townsman didn't make any big mistakes, there are so many people in the world who admire Xiahou Gong, are you going to kill him just because he pleaded for Xiahou Gong?"

"What will the world think of you?"

"Rehabilitating Xiahou Xuan will harm the general, and killing the noble townsman will harm you!"

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are positioned differently.

Sima Shi flexed his muscles more and shut up the ministers by killing, while Sima Zhao was trying to win over these people.

To put it simply, one sings red face and the other sings white face.

For example, on the issue of Xiahou Xuan, Sima Shi had to kill him, but Sima Zhao interceded for him.

Sima Shi doesn't need any clear name, but Sima Zhao does.

Because in the Sima family's three-step strategy, Sima Shi decided that his younger brother would complete the last step and let him ascend the throne as emperor.

Therefore, he needs to clear his name, he needs to get the support of everyone, he has to have a face, and he has to have the appearance of a bright king.

However, Cao Chao in history used his own life to make Sima Shi's strategy collapse directly, Sima Zhao lost face, and the Sima family could only delay for another generation and let Sima Yan complete this mission.

Sima Zhao naturally knew this truth.

But he is still extremely determined, "If you don't kill him today, you will regret it sooner or later!" ”

Du Yu said again: "The general not only can't kill him, but he also has to echo him, agree with him, and most importantly, the general has to send someone to protect him, and he must not be killed by someone with a heart." ”

"I'm afraid that it's not you who want to kill him now, but those people in the DPRK who have ulterior motives."

"The matter of rehabilitation, now it is in an uproar, if the noble townsman suddenly dies, the criticism caused by it is unimaginable."

"The death of the noble townsman is beneficial to many ministers of the temple, but it is not good for you."

Sima Zhao was angry.

"He's riding on my head, and I still have to protect him??"

"I'm a general of the West... I'm not..."

Sima Zhao blushed and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Du Yu said: "The key now is not the noble township, we should deal with the ministers first, but we can first win over a faction, suppress a faction, execute a faction, and wait for the rehabilitation matter to be resolved, no one will care about the affairs of the noble township." ”

"At that time, the general only needs to support others, and he doesn't have to pay attention to the townspeople, and if the general wants to focus on major affairs, he can't wantonly kill the clan."

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan."

"When Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty established the Great Han Dynasty, he first canonized his enemies as marquises, thus gaining the hearts of the people of the world."

"In the future, if you solve everything, you will reward him more and show your generosity, so that you can be loved by the people of the world."

"The townsman is just a young child, he only needs to send a henchman to lead a group of men and horses to take care of it, and he can worry about it, so why do you have to kill him to ruin his reputation?"

Sima Zhao took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the anger in his eyes had disappeared without a trace.

He smiled and took Du Yu's hand, and said gently: "If it weren't for Yuan Kai, he almost made a big mistake, it was because I didn't think about it, the noble townsman rehabilitated the virtuous, it was really virtuous, the virtuous name of the Xiahou Duke is known to everyone in the world, I should go and help him rehabilitate!" ”

Du pre breathed a sigh of relief.

"The general is wise! I know that the general has always admired the general and has followed him in everything, but the general is not a general after all, and you can look at his handling methods, but you can't follow his methods. ”

"The general has what he is good at, which is not even comparable to the great general, so why should he follow him?"

When Sima Zhao heard this, he immediately laughed.

"You're right! My brother still doesn't know about it, but I'm busy here, so it can be seen that my brother is not as good as me! ”

"Prepare, we're going to meet those sages of the court!"

"Yui!!"

..........

Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace, East Hall.

This is the place where the emperor and his ministers deal with the world's major affairs on weekdays.

The decoration is not luxurious, when Cao Pi built the Taiji Palace, he focused on the main hall responsible for ceremonies and sacrifices, and did not pay much attention to the east hall for handling affairs and the west hall for the emperor's rest.

According to Cao Pi's words, sacrifices and rituals are important events for the heavens and ancestors, and they must be solemn, and disposal and enjoyment are not so important things, so they can be simplified.

Although Cao Pi has many shortcomings, he still has outstanding talents in governing and reassuring the people.

The ministers gathered here, and they did not talk to each other, but only made eye contact.

They probably know each other's thoughts, and they may have negotiated before they arrived.

Sima Zhao walked into the hall quickly, and many ministers got up to pay their respects, but some were unmoved.

Sima Zhao greeted them one by one, smiling and very gentle.

The three ministers sitting at the top are Taiwei Sima Fu, Situ Gaorou, and Sikong Zheng Chong.

Although the status of these three people is high, it is Shang Shutai who really does the work, Shang Shuling is concurrently served by Sima Shi, and the person who replaces him is Shang Shu's servant Lu Yu.

Sima Fu is Sima Yi's younger brother, and he has a very good reputation, and the big family usually has different roles, and what Sima Fu holds in the Sima family is probably a role like Guo Zhi.

Although he was born in the Sima family, he had a good reputation and won the respect of the scholars.

Gao Rou is the cousin of the late Bingzhou Assassin Shi Gaogan, starting from a small official, from Cao Cao's meeting to the present, he is an old minister who has assisted Cao Wei for five generations in history... Because he supported Sima Yi in Gaopingling, he won the love of the Sima family.

Zheng Chong came from a humble background and was personally promoted by Cao Pi, but this person has always been a transparent person in government affairs, never interfering in anything, and only seeking self-preservation.

As for Lu Yu, his origin is even greater, he is the son of Lu Zhi, a famous minister in the late Han Dynasty.

"General, have you ever heard of the matter of the princess Zhang of the noble township being redressed for Xiahou?"

The aged Gao Rou was the first to speak.

Gao Rou is not young, but she is not a little old-fashioned, and her voice is loud.

Gao Rou and the Sima family are not dependent, they are a real alliance, and Gao Rou has lived in the temple for many years, and there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, even Sima Shi will not easily offend him.

Sima Zhao originally thought that it would be some eagle dogs who would try to attack first, but he didn't expect that Gao Rou would actually start fighting directly, and there was no intention of temptation at all.

"I heard about it, I think it's a good thing, Xiahou Gong was bewitched by others, that's why it's like this!"

Sima Zhao replied with a smile.

A smile suddenly appeared on the minister's face.

But Sima Zhao added: "I am willing to play the general with you and ask him to rehabilitate!" ”

Gao Rou is not a fool, he frowned, these two brothers, they started acting again?

"General, the reputation of Xiahou Gong is known to the whole world, he was implicated because he mistakenly believed in the traitorous ministers, but it was not he who rebelled, there were others, since the new emperor was willing to rehabilitate him, how could we, who are ministers, turn a blind eye?"

"General, we are going to play with the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to give an order to be fair to Xiahou, please take the lead!"

Gao Rou said a word and directly blocked the road.

Don't go to your brother to act, go directly with us to the Queen Mother.

Putting this matter to a conclusion, didn't you say that you support us? Then follow us!

If you don't go, it means that you are pretending to support us and will never give you a chance to act.

Sima Zhao obviously didn't expect Gao Rou to be so direct, he was also panicked for a while, and hurriedly looked at Sima Fu.

Sima Fu's face was calm, and he nodded with a smile, "What Situ Gong said is reasonable!" ”

"That's right! Indeed it is! ”

"As it should be!"

Everyone began to talk nonsense.

Sima Zhao felt unprecedented pressure, if it weren't for his brother's physical discomfort, would these people dare to be so arrogant?

He frantically pondered what to do.

At this moment, suddenly an attendant walked in through the side door and walked directly to the center of the ministers.

The chamberlain looked at everyone, directly opened the edict in his hand, and read:

"The Queen Mother has an edict!"

"Although Xiahou Xuan has a good name, he participated in the rebellion, and it is not inappropriate to investigate and deal with it with Wei Law, and now there is Pingyuan Hou Guode, because he pitied his wife and uncle, so he sent someone to bewitch the new monarch, pretending to be the new emperor's decree, which made the world turbulent and the temple uneasy!"

"The law of the country cannot be abolished because of people, Xiahou Gong, I also love it, but I must not despise the law of the country because of this, then the country will not be a country."

"Severely punish the crime of Pingyuan Hou Guode, this rehabilitation, there is no need to mention it!"

After the chamberlain finished speaking, he put away the edict.

Everyone was stunned.

And at this moment, another man walked in, bowed to the ministers, and then said:

"Princess, Pingyuan Hou Guode learned that this incident caused the temple to be uneasy, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he wrote his own letter to bewitch the new monarch and disturb the temple, and committed suicide by taking medicine last night."

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the entire temple.

Including even Sima Zhao, they were all dumbfounded.

What?? Guo De pleaded guilty and committed suicide??

The Queen Mother also personally ordered the refusal to be rehabilitated??

What's the situation?

Is it the big brother who made a move?!

But when did he make a move?!
