Great Han Empire

Chapter 966 Chapter [-]
At the beginning of May, the eldest princess summoned Sima Fang, Ting Weiqing, and ordered him to end the trial of all cases as soon as possible, so as not to make things get out of hand.If your indecision in the trial of the case leads to instability in the court and major twists and turns in the peace negotiation, I will punish you severely.

Sima Fang returned home worried, and discussed with his sons Sima Lang, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu.These several cases are intertwined, and any one of them will offend a large number of people, and a little carelessness will bring disaster to the family.Sima Lang complained to his father, why did you agree to the Prime Minister to take up the post of Tingweiqing after you retired to serve at home?Aren't you asking for trouble?
Sima Yi thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Father, brother, you said, the general suddenly handed over his military power and left Chang'an, do you have someone behind?"

"Do you have any brains?" Sima Lang scolded with his eyes wide open, "You have been with the General for so many years, but you still don't know who he is? If he kills people without blinking an eye, how can you still keep your brain until now?"

Chief Sima Fang sighed, "Dong Zhuo's misfortune back then was engraved on the court. Whether it is the eldest princess, the prime minister, or the general, they are all careful to prevent and avoid the same disaster from happening. The sudden handover of the general The right to send troops to leave the capital is precisely to prevent the great man from being defeated again. For more than ten years, the general has been loyal to the great man and fought bloody for the great cause of ZTE. On the contrary, the eldest princess and the court are always on guard against him, always thinking Take away his military power. It's all right now, the general is gone, and the hearts of the people in the world are also chilled. Good job, good job..."

"If he doesn't leave, Chang'an will be bloody now." Sima Lang sighed bitterly, "But if he leaves, the crisis in Chang'an will be even greater. Without the deterrence of the general, the power in the court will be like an out of cage The fierce tigers, one by one, were reckless, killing like a raging fire, and the courage of Xiangyang people immediately increased, and each one was arrogant, and the conditions for peace negotiations were becoming more and more stringent. These harsh conditions will have a great impact on the court, and will not only cause military The general's dissatisfaction will also anger many ministers in the court. In the next few months, turmoil may break out in Chang'an."

"I know this, what I mean is, after the general hastily left the court, is there a way to solve the bigger crisis that is about to erupt?" Sima Yi looked at his father's melancholy face and asked respectfully.

Sima Fang and Sima Lang looked at each other and immediately understood what Sima Yi meant.At this time, if you want to keep the family, you must first stand on the right team. If you make a wrong choice and stand on the wrong team, you may have to pay the price of family extinction.

"The big man can come to today and see the hope of ZTE because there is a strong Beijiang behind him. Even if the general is gone, the people of Beijiang will not give up their power, let alone sit and watch the chaos in the court. Let the country fall into the abyss of subversion again. After all, the people of Beijiang have paid a huge price for today, and no one wants to turn more than ten years of hard work into ashes. The general can give up his power, but the people of Beijiang will not give up their power. On the contrary, after the general leaves and loses the control of the general, they will explode with astonishing power." Sima Fang stroked his long beard lightly, and said thoughtfully, "We can also be regarded as half A northerner."

"Father, now Yancai (Fu Gan) is from our family. With Yancai's status in Beijiang, our family is considered from Beijiang, not half of Beijiang." Sima Lang reminded with a smile.

"I know, I know." Sima Fang stretched his waist, and then fell on the table, "Urgently report to the imperial court that I have suffered a stroke and cannot serve as a director. I ask Tingwei Cheng Xili to act on behalf of Tingwei."

The eldest princess was extremely annoyed at Ting Weiqing Sima Fang's sudden illness. She knew very well that this old guy "slipped" with oil on his feet in order to protect himself wisely.

The third day of May.

Xi Xi was temporarily in charge of Tingwei's mansion, and before the eldest princess and the court appointed a new Tingweiqing, he took advantage of the swift and swift momentum to detain Wu Zi, Xu Si, and Wang Kai, three senior officials from Yanzhou. Officials, and interrogated day and night.The interrogation made great progress thanks to the solid evidence he had in advance.By the time Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Chen Gong and others got the news, Xi Ji had obtained the evidence that Zhang Miao connived, covered up, and participated in Zhang Chao's brother's violation of the law.

The fourth day of May.

Sili Xiaowei Chen Gong took the prime minister's warrant and rushed to the Tingwei mansion in person.Wu Zi and others are all big officials with a salary of more than a thousand stones in the middle of the court. They cannot be arrested at will without the order of the prime minister, but Xi Xi is not afraid and is determined not to let go.

Fifth day of May.

Xi Ji's memorial to arrest Zhang Miao was sent to Liyang overnight.Chen Qun, the supervisor of Zhongshu, blatantly violated the law, and did not report to the eldest princess, agreeing that Xi Xi should arrest people first, and then proceed after obtaining evidence.Xi Ji personally led people into Zhang Miao's mansion, arrested them and ransacked the house, and solved the problem at once.Zhang Miao refused to make a confession, and Xi Xi ordered severe punishment.Zhang Miao could bear the pain, but his wife and sons couldn't bear the pain, and confessed one after another, saying what they had to say.

At this time, the impeachment memorial of Prime Minister Cai Yong and other ministers had just been sent to Liyang, asking the eldest princess to appoint a new Ting Weiqing immediately.

In the afternoon, the memorial to the impeachment of Ting Wei Cheng Xi Ji flew into Zhongshujian like snowflakes.Chen Qun ordered that all be detained.

The prime minister Cai Yong and the royal censor Liu He rushed to Tingwei's mansion angrily, forcing Xi Xi to release him immediately, but Taifu Yang Biao and chief minister Xu Rong arrived afterward, argued hard and obstructed him in every possible way.

Prime Minister Cai Yong rushed to Liyang overnight to ask the eldest princess for help.

The sixth day of May.

The eldest princess was considering Ting Weiqing's candidate, and she was startled when she saw the prime minister running out of breath, and hurriedly asked what happened.Cai Yong roughly explained the whole story in a few words, "Your Highness, what right does the Zhongshujian have to agree to Xi Ji's arrest of Master Zhang Miao? Master Xiji has no imperial edict from His Highness, and he only arrests people based on the order of the Zhongshujian. Isn't that an abuse of power?"

The eldest princess was furious, and hurriedly called Chen Qun, the supervisor of Zhongshu.Chen Qun had a good reason, saying that Zhang Miao was no longer Shangqing, but an official awaiting trial who had left his post and stayed at home. Wake up His Highness in the middle of the night, what do you want us ministers to do?"

The eldest princess was speechless.The prime minister was very angry and asked Chen Qun, "Why did you withhold the impeachment memorials of the ministers and deceive Your Highness?"

"Zhongshujian receives hundreds of impeachment memorials every day. If His Highness reads every memorial and handles everything personally, will she still have time to rest?" Chen Qun said confidently, "These memorials to impeach Mr. Xiji were created out of nothing. I know all the details, why should I help you to frame Master Xiji?"

The eldest princess turned livid with anger, and waved Chen Qun back.

"The top priority is to stabilize the court and settle all the cases as soon as possible." The eldest princess sighed helplessly, "My lord, give in when it's time to give in, and don't fight anymore. Now that the general has let go, the hearts of the army are floating , accidents may happen at any time, and once the army is in chaos, it will be more difficult to appease Xiangyang. In order to calm down the world as soon as possible and stabilize the country, we should bear it for a while. If we can't work together, when will the world be calmed down?"

"Your Highness, the current situation is not that we want to fight, but that other people are forcing us to fight." Cai Yong sighed, "The general is gone, no one can deter all parties in the court, everyone is trying to find opportunities to attack opponents for the sake of power. , If we are a little negligent, we will immediately fall into a dead end. You see, in just a few days, things have completely gotten out of control."

"The general...he, he's gone too far..." The eldest princess became more and more annoyed as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but shed tears. ...He is a great general, and he still controls the army, and even if the court wants to seize his military power, it will only take back the part of the military power that did not belong to him. Is this too much? If he has been controlling all the military power, Then what will happen in the future? What will His Majesty do when he grows up?"

"Your Highness, the general left the court not because he cared about military power, but because he cared about ZTE's strategy. He was very stubborn. He resolutely disagreed with the negotiation of peace and the establishment of a vassal. He still wanted to fight. This was the main reason why he left the court. Cai Yong shook his head and lamented, "He has fought for more than ten years and killed hundreds of thousands of brothers. He suddenly wants to be a minister with his enemy, and a murderer like Cao Cao. He can't accept it, and he doesn't want to accept it." He left the court and let it go. In fact, he wanted the court to be in chaos, so that the peace negotiation failed completely, and then let the court's ZTE strategy be formulated and implemented according to his vision, so that the war would continue until all the rebels were killed. There are no bones left. In his heart, hatred and merit are far more important than thousands of creatures in the world."

The eldest princess covered her face and wept.Cai Yong comforted in a low voice, "Since the general is not here, let Zuo Cheqi General Xian Yufu serve as Ting Weiqing. Although his prestige in the court is not enough to suppress all parties, but he can quickly coordinate the interests of all parties. It is still possible to close the case as soon as possible.”

The Eldest Princess accepted Cai Yong's suggestion and decreed that Xian Yufu be Tingweiqing and Chen Hao be Tingweicheng.Considering the current situation, it was difficult for Xi Xi to be held accountable, so he was transferred back to Yushitai.Chen Qun could no longer stay in the Zhongshu Supervisor, and was transferred to Shangshutai as a servant, and Liu Fang was asked to lead the Zhongshu Supervisor.

Before the imperial edict from the eldest princess was issued, Chang'an sent an urgent report, and Xi Ji obtained evidence that Chen Gong, the captain of Sili, was suspected of deliberately framing Xun Yu, Xin Ping and others and plotting to assassinate the emperor.Xi Ji immediately asked the great Sima Xu Rong for help, and Xu Rong ordered the Northern Army Yueqi Zhonglang to lead Jifeng and [-] cavalry to surround Sili Xiaowei's mansion.Xi Ji hurriedly played the eldest princess, begging to arrest Chen Gong immediately, quickly dig out the accomplices, and kill all the rebels.

The eldest princess was stunned.This Xi Xi is really a genius. In just a few days, he threw heavy punches, knocked down a large area, and quickly reversed the situation in the court at an unimaginable speed.No wonder Boss Sima Fang is about to suffer a stroke. Even if he didn't have a stroke, he would be terrified to death when he met this sturdy deputy.

The eldest princess couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed to Chang'an City with Prime Minister Cai Yong.

The former general and Weiwei Lu Bu was furious and rushed to Sili Xiaowei's mansion as quickly as possible. He wanted to ask Xi Xi face to face what he wanted to do, whether he wanted to kill all the Yanzhou people.

Xi Ji is currently questioning Chen Gong and his subordinates in the Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, the official office is full of Northern Army cavalry.The sacrificial front blocked Lu Bu, "General Lu, please calm down, this time is different from the Jinyang rebellion case, last time it was to assassinate the general, this time it is to assassinate the emperor."

Lu Bu smiled miserably.Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and other officials of Yanzhou, in order to save the big man, went through life and death with themselves, and fought bloody battles. How could they have the idea of ​​killing the king?Whenever there is a fight in the court, Yanzhou people always bear the brunt and become the target of everyone's attacks, which is too unfair.

Lu Bu suddenly turned his horse's head and went straight to Da Si Nong's mansion.In this court battle, Li Wei, Cui Yan, and Xi Xi are all in the same group. If they want to save Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, they can only ask Li Wei for help.

Zhi Jinwu and General Longxiang Zhao Yun received the news from Jifeng, and flew up to catch up, "Brother Feng Xian, Da Sima has a word first, and we are strictly prohibited from intervening in the court battle. Once we intervene, the situation will get out of control. Not only did you save Without them, more people will be involved and more people will die unjustly.”

With tears in his eyes, Lu Bu looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely sad and indignant, "What should I do? How can I save them?"

Zhao Yun was speechless, he could only hold his shoulders tightly, and couldn't even say a word of comfort.Now it is not only Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others who are in danger of life, even Prime Minister Cai Yong is in danger.

"If the general was here, how could the situation be so bad?" Zhao Yun sighed bitterly, "Be patient, you must be patient, and you must not drag the northern Xinjiang warriors into it."

That night, another big event happened in Chang'an City.

Dozens of assassins rushed into Chi Xi's mansion, setting fire to and killing them wantonly.At this time, more than a dozen masters suddenly appeared in Xiji's mansion, and they did their best to protect Xiji and Xiji's family.

Chi Xi himself was skilled in martial arts, and he tried his best to protect his mother. The mother and son managed to save their lives, but his wife and two children were murdered. All seven servants in the family were killed, and the mansion was destroyed.

The assassins fled in all directions, but for some reason, patrolling guards suddenly appeared within a hundred paces around Xixi's mansion, and many assassins were caught.

Xi Xi's eyes turned red, and he interrogated him overnight.Some assassins couldn't bear the torture and confessed where their leader was hiding.Xi Xi led people to capture their leader, re-trial, and captured their behind-the-scenes instigator.The behind-the-scenes messenger was a merchant in the West Market, and he confessed to his family.Chi Chi was horrified when he caught this master, he was Zong Zhengqing Zang Hong's subordinate.Zang Hong is Zhang Chao's old official, he came up with this cruel trick in order to avenge his old master and save Zhang Miao.

Xi Li reported to the eldest princess to arrest Zong Zhengqing Zang Hong.

=

When the eldest princess and Prime Minister Cai Yong saw this memorial, they felt an ominous premonition in their hearts, and the situation was out of control.

The eldest princess summoned Xi Xi, on the one hand comforted her, and on the other hand issued an order to detain Zong Zhengqing Zang Hong and Sili Xiaowei Chen Gong.

The eldest princess immediately summoned Tai Fu Yang Biao, Tai Wei Xun You, Da Si Nong Li Wei, and Shang Shu Ling Cui Yan, and advised them to put the community first, give up fighting, and stop killing each other.

Prime Minister Cai Yong met Zang Hong as quickly as possible, "Why did you do such a thing? Are you out of your mind?"

Zang Hong smiled miserably, "How could I do such a thing? This is framed. The opponent is too ruthless to do such an unconscionable thing. From the time the assassin rushed into Xi Xi's mansion, to when Xi Xi found my head On the road, there are only six short hours, if all this is not arranged in advance, is it possible?"

Cai Yong was shocked, "Who would do such a thing? Li Wei? Xun You? Xu Shao? Or Yang Biao?"

"It's all possible." Zang Hong sighed, "If we want to save the situation now, we have to invite the general back. Otherwise, once the leader is killed, there will be no possibility of saving the situation."

In mid-May, Princess Chang decreed that Xian Yufu would be Tingweiqing, Chen Hao would be Tingweicheng, and Xi Ji would return to Yushitai to serve as the official secretary and censor.

Zuo Yan served as Zong Zhengqing.Yang Feng was appointed Captain of Sili.

Now all parties in the court are fighting very fiercely, and only the northern Xinjiang warriors are suitable for the post of public minister. Only in this way can the conflicts between all parties in the court be transferred as soon as possible, and the fighting between all parties can be calmed down.

=

Xian Yufu and Chen Hao went to Tingwei's Mansion to take up their duties, and first tried the case of Xu Hun.

Xu Hun's case is actually very simple. The reason why it has been delayed for so long is that Zhang Miao and other Qingyan scholars wanted to take advantage of Xun Yu and Xin Ping's treason case to severely injure Ying and Ru scholars, but the situation got out of control in an instant.

At the end of May, Xian Yufu reported the case of Xu Hun in detail to the eldest princess and the court.A few days later, the eldest princess made an order to downplay Xu Hun's guilt and dismissed him.Xu Shao was implicated and voluntarily resigned from his position as Taichang.The eldest princess accepted Xu Shao's resignation, begged him to sacrifice wine for Chang'an Taixue, and asked him to preside over the restoration of Chang'an Taixue.

At the end of May, the eldest princess worshiped Guo Ce as Tai Changqing.

Regardless of the objections of the generals in northern Xinjiang, the eldest princess made great concessions in the matter of entrusting titles. Xiangyang and other places sent special envoys to Chang'an to participate in the peace talks.

In June, Wang Lang and Hua Xin were sent from Xiangyang, Liu Zhang from Yizhou sent Wu Su and Zhang Song, Cao Cao from Xuzhou sent Cheng Yu, Yuan Tan from Yuzhou sent Liu Xian, and Jiangdong sent Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. Lu Su and Gu Yong were sent, and Liu Bei in Longxi sent Jian Yong.After the peace talks special envoys arrived in Chang'an, the peace talks immediately entered the stage of discussing details.

=

In June, under the strong request of the eldest princess and all parties involved in the peace talks, Xian Yufu began to try the treason case.

The treason case still existed, but the suspects were changed to Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Zang Hong, Zhang Chao and others, so Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao soon regained their freedom and left Chang'an quickly.

The fact that Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao are innocent does not mean that Xin Ping and Xun Chen are also innocent. Before Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others' crimes are clarified, they will still be detained.

In mid-June, Kong Rong, Mi Heng, Liu Yi and other Qingyan officials wrote a letter to impeach Li Wei, arguing that he was the instigator behind the assassination of Xi Xi, and there was relevant evidence.Li Wei was furious, and wrote a letter to impeach Kong Rong and others, believing that they conspired with Chen Gong and others to assassinate the emperor, and also provided detailed evidence.

Chaotang became more and more chaotic.

The eldest princess categorically ordered that the trial of the treason case be postponed indefinitely, and the case of Ding Li and Zhu Wei should be tried first.At present, the top priority of the imperial court is to appease Xiangyang, and all other matters will be postponed for further discussion.
