Chapter 20 Rectification

According to the spies' report, the Wei army in the Central Plains had already arrived at Tongguan.

But when he learned that Longyou had been lost, he immediately stopped and continued to advance. After the Eastern Wu move in these days, the Wei army began to retreat south.

Obviously, after weighing the pros and cons, Cao Wei gave up all his strength to regain Longyou, but retreated to give priority to protecting Huainan.

After all, Cao Wei's tax and economic center of gravity are in the Central Plains of Hebei, and the ancestral land of the Cao family is in Yuzhou County. Although he didn't believe in the combat power of Eastern Wu, if they stole Hefei, then Cao Wei's core territory would be under the threat of Eastern Wu.

As for Long You, although it hurts, it is not enough to make Cao Wei desperate.

This also means that Cao Wei has admitted the established facts, and there is no longer any risk for Shu Han to annex Longyou.

After reading these, the joy in Zhuge Liang's heart was difficult to hide.

Since the first emperor visited the thatched cottage in the grass house, Zhuge Liang, the manager, had to support the entire company by himself.

Especially since the Battle of Yiling, he has struggled to pick up this company that is about to go bankrupt and delisted. After so many years of hard work, he couldn't sleep for many nights, and now he finally got the harvest.

Your Majesty, have you seen it?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little moist at the corners of his eyes, and wept and missed the former emperor.

"Prime Minister." The pro-soldier next to him saw that the prime minister, who had been calm, suddenly had tears in the corners of his eyes, and stepped forward in shock.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Zhuge Liang waved his hand slightly, and said with a hint of a smile.

"It's just that I think that there is hope for the Kuangfu Han family again, and I'm a little excited."

"That's it, send someone to Chengdu to deliver a letter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is probably nervous."

"Yui!"

Just when Zhuge Liang calmed down and was about to start the day's work, suddenly a soldier rushed in urgently.

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report in Longxi County!"

"Longxi County?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, thinking of the secret order he gave a few days ago, his face suddenly became slightly solemn.

Is there still a change?

…………

…………

A few days ago, 2,000 Shu troops were ordered to enter Didao County, and posted a notice that Longxi had been restored and returned to the Han Dynasty.

But since it has returned to the Han, it is necessary to follow the rules of the Han Dynasty. The soldiers of the Shu army read the law practiced by Zhuge Liang in Shu everywhere, striving to make it known to all the people.

The Shu Han official in charge of this matter emphasized that there was a wrongful report to the official, and everything from then on will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Whether it is the common people or the big families, if they break the law, they will be dealt with equally!

After these laws were issued, the people of the whole county were skeptical, and they did not dare to move forward.

As a result, in less than three days, some children of the Shi clan violated martial law and were caught by the Shu army when they traveled at night. In the past, the execution was carried out in public, and it was useless for the head of the family to come and ask for someone.

The law of Shu Han is the strictest in the Three Kingdoms, and the enforcement is also the strongest. With Zhuge Liang personally supervising, few officials in charge of the law dared to bend the law for personal gain.

Because of this incident, the credibility of the Shuhan government was established at once.

After hearing about this, the people of Qianshou went to the government to cry out for grievances. Some of the dirty things committed by many local families have been turned over, and whoever is found out will be done.

And among them, the most accusing is none other than the former Longxi Taishou You Chu!

"Prime Minister, judging from the civil complaint in Didao County, You Chu's culpability is already dead." The messenger of the report arched his hand.

"In Didao County alone, there are thousands of people who report to the official to report to Chu. Most of them were Qianshou, and they all said that because of You Chu's forced requisition of food, their families starved to death. He was also accused of favoring the big clans and joining forces with the big clans to occupy the people's land. ”

In Longxi County, under You Chu's rule, attitudes towards it were polarized. The local scholars all thought that You Chu was a good person, with detailed etiquette and good work.

And the folk capital of Guizhou doesn't like this Taishou, and he is pressed by the Shi clan, and this Taishou also drills a quilt with the family, can he be a good person.

After getting this report, Zhuge Liang glanced at it a few times, and then frowned.

A small Didao county, there have been so many dirty things over the years. In terms of the degree of chaos, it is no less than when the first emperor had just entered Shu.

Among them, You Chu's credit can be described as huge, if it weren't for his support, many things the scholars would not dare to do openly.

"If You Chu is not dead, I can't let him go at will." After reading the report on the bamboo slip, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.

"However, the family of Longyou is also too arrogant, and many of the laws of the Han Dynasty in the past have been forgotten!

"It seems that this Longyou should also be rectified!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang lightly picked up the pen, wrote a few lines on the bamboo slips, and handed them to the soldiers.

"Send someone to Chengdu and hand it over to Your Majesty for ruling, and Your Majesty will approve it before it can be implemented."

"Yui!"

"Also, go to the dungeon and release Ma Yan, and then rectify Longyou and his work."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

"Lao Zhang, you say that you are more stubborn than a donkey, with your political consciousness, you can only die on the battlefield in your life." While eating, Ma Tan did not forget to mock Zhang Hedao on the side.

"Now there is a shortage of generals in Shuzhong, if you vote early, you will immediately become a general. What's more, you are not Cao Cao's original general, and you have not treated you as well as Yuan Shao over the years, why are you still so brainless. ”

"Shut up, I'm not that familiar with you." Zhang He regretted talking to this brain-dead person in the first place. These days, Ma Tan chatted with him as soon as he was bored, chatting all over the world, and did not forget to persuade him after chatting.

It's a shame to be defeated on the battlefield by such a strange thing! A lifetime of shame!

"Heh, no dreams." Ma Yan shrugged, and saw that Zhang He didn't want to pay attention to him again, so he didn't continue.

said that Zhang He really beat him when he was in a hurry, not only could he not die, but it hurt very much, so he didn't want to touch this moldy head.

At this moment, a person walked in, and Ma Jian glanced at it and found that it was still an acquaintance.

"Wang Ping?"

"Join the army, the prime minister asked me to take you out." Wang Ping nodded and said to Ma Yan.

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to put me to death? No matter what, it's a degraded person, right? Ma Jian frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"No need, the prime minister has already found out, You Chu has committed many crimes, and he is innocent. Although it is illegal to commit suicide by joining the army, you are now needed to allow you to join the army for meritorious service. ”

Wang Ping shook his head and said as he opened the prison door.

"It is definitely impossible to execute you, you should continue to serve the court with a useful body when you join the army."

Hearing this, Ma Jian suddenly felt a little painful, why didn't he die.

Could it be that I am really a child of destiny? Can't die no matter what you do?

"What does the Prime Minister want me to do?"

"I don't know, it's said to be the implementation of the law......"

"Huh?" Ma Jian was suddenly alert.

"The law?"
