The last three kingdoms

Chapter 589 The Death of Pei Xiu
The faction of the You party has been completely eradicated. Only in this way can Sima Yan leave Sima You alone to rest assured that even if Sima You is alive, he will no longer pose any threat to Sima Yan's throne. A lonely family who has lost his wings , there is no chance of a comeback.

In this way, Sima Yan can be regarded as maintaining the family relationship between the brothers, and it can also be regarded as giving face to his mother Wang Yuanji. For Sima You who is in any threat, Sima Yan really doesn't care about his life or death.

As for these figures in the You Party, Sima Yan will not be soft at all. Since they dare to sing against him, they should have the consciousness of being beheaded. Treating the enemy kindly is cruel to oneself. Sima Yan understands this truth better than Sima You many.

The blood of Luoyang City was flowing like rivers, Sima Yan didn't care at all, he would spare no effort to do anything that was conducive to the stability of his throne.

Simultaneously with Sima Yan's bloody killing, the list of officials killed in the incident was also counted and reported to Sima Yan immediately. This long list is extremely shocking.

Officials who died at the level of three thousand stones included Taiwei Wang Xiang and Situ He Zeng, officials who died at the level of more than two thousand stones included Xun Yi, Xun Xu, Shan Tao, Wang Shen, etc., as for those who died at the level of more than six hundred stones, as many as The number of casualties of hundreds of people, less than [-] shi, and civilians is not yet within the scope of statistics. According to rough estimates, the number of casualties is at least [-] or more.

It can be said that the Luoyang Incident this time can be called tragic. Some high-ranking officials, such as Wang Xiang, He Zeng, Xun Yi, Xun Xu, Wang Shen, etc., died in the Jin Palace, and they had no chance to wait for the rescue. He came to the rescue, but was brutally killed by the You Party forces.But the vast majority of officials died in the chaos.In the chaos, there are naturally many people who fish in troubled waters, people who pretend to be public and benefit themselves, many people die tragically inexplicably, but the cause of death is unknown, and no one cares about the dead bodies on the street.

Cao Wei has always been known for his abundance of talents, but after the double blow of the Luoyang Incident, even Sima Fu lamented that there was no one left in the country.

Although the vitality was greatly injured, it could not prevent the singing and dancing in the Jin Palace. In order to celebrate Sima Yan's ascension to the throne of Jin Wang, there was a large banquet in the Jin Palace, which was luxurious and grand.

At the banquet, all the ministers who had been promoted were all smiling and toasting together. There was only one person, sitting silently in a corner where no one was around, secretly saddened.

He is Pei Xiu. Ever since he left the Jin Palace, he has been in a constant state of panic. He still can't figure out whether his self-confession has fallen into Sima Yan's hands or has been seen by Sima Yan, but he You can clearly feel the neglect from Sima Yan. Although Sima Yan didn't say anything on the surface, Pei Xiu, who knows Sima Yan's character well, knows that Sima Yan is a person who will take revenge. If he really knows that Pei Xiu has If you have betrayed him, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Pei Xiu was waiting for his doomsday judgment. The torment made Pei Xiu unable to sleep or eat at night, just like the delicacies in front of him, Pei Xiu couldn't even swallow a single bite.

These buddies who follow Sima Yan have received some awards, especially Jia Chong, because of this contribution, it seems that he has already taken the position of chief of the Yan Party.

However, Pei Xiu, who was born and died together with Jia Chong, was standing still, neither promoted nor demoted, and still held the position of Shangshu, intact.

You know, Pei Xiu was a very popular figure in front of Sima Zhao. Even before Sima Zhao died, he kept Pei Xiu and Jia Chong by his side. It can be said that Pei Xiu was one of the few who knew about Sima Zhao's will. One of the few people, if only in terms of merit, Pei Xiu and Jia Chong are evenly matched.

But compared with Jia Chong's prosperity, Pei Xiu was left out in the cold, which also made Pei Xiu sit on pins and needles and couldn't rest for a moment.

Undoubtedly, Sima Yan had read the self-confession written by Pei Xiu, and knew of the existence of the self-confession for the last time, the last glimmer of hope in Pei Xiu's heart was also wiped out.

Whether he gets promoted or not doesn't matter to Pei Xiu. The most important thing now is whether he can get Sima Yan's understanding. You can look at his past achievements and let him go.

When Sima Yan was toasting at the table, it was Pei Xiu's turn, but seeing Sima Yan's eyes flickering, as if she wanted to avoid it, Pei Xiu stood up suddenly and knelt down in front of Sima Yan, everyone was shocked.

"My minister, Pei Xiu, deserves to die for his crimes, please His Royal Highness King Jin punish him."

Everyone was deeply baffled, they didn't know which part Pei Xiu was singing, they looked at each other, the scene suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at Sima Yan and Pei Xiu, wanting to see how the situation would develop.You must know that Pei Xiu is a core figure in the Yan Party, and was a prisoner of Sima You together with Sima Yan. At this celebration banquet, Pei Xiu would actually plead guilty in court, which made everyone baffled and at a loss.

In Sima Yan's eyes, there was a flash of sharpness, but it was fleeting. He said plainly, "Since the past has already passed, there is no need to talk about it, Qing Ping."

When Pei Xiu heard this, he was overjoyed. Since Sima Yan said that he would not be held accountable, it meant that Sima Yan had already forgiven himself. This was undoubtedly the best result for Pei Xiu. He solemnly kowtowed a few times. , and then stood up to serve.

Everyone was deeply curious. They didn't know why Pei Xiu pleaded guilty, and they didn't know what Sima Yan's words about the past meant, but if the person involved didn't mention it, even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't think of any results.

"Bring wine!" Sima Yan ordered, and the attendant immediately came forward with the wine. Sima Yan raised the wine glass and said to Pei Xiu: "Pei Qing, please drink up this glass, everything is over."

Pei Xiu hurriedly took the cup in her hand and drank it down in one gulp.

During the second half of the banquet, Sima Yan never said a word to Pei Xiu again, and he didn't even come to Pei Xiu, but Pei Xiu was still in a very happy mood. If Sima Yan said that, it proved that he had forgiven her. After all, this is a good start. As for the relationship in the future, let's slowly repair it.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Sima Yan was already drunk, all the officials left one after another and went back to their homes.

Pei Xiu was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine. When she walked to the Luoshui Bridge, she suddenly found that her waist and eyes were heavy, and her whole body was heavy. One couldn't stand steadily, and the other fell into the Luoshui River.
