Chapter 620 East and West Push Power
"Your Highness, there is no need to write to embarrass His Majesty. With such a big incident, someone has to bear all the responsibility and anger."
Ma Su was shocked when he heard this and immediately persuaded him.
"Before launching the Heyin Incident, I had already made all the best preparations. If it really comes to the time when I need to kill someone to calm the anger of the world, I, Ma Su, will take all the responsibility!"
"No! Prime Minister, the Han Dynasty cannot do without you!" Liu Xuan spoke decisively and said firmly.
"I would rather not have the position of the crown prince, but I have to protect the prime minister!"
"Go away, go away, if you have this thought, you might as well think more about the future." Ma Su shook his head gently and said with a smile.
"Not everyone is willing to share your worries with the wrath of the world. As a prince, Your Highness has to think more about the path you will take in the future."
"What the Prime Minister said is wrong. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get to this position." Liu Xuan shook his head gently and said with a wry smile.
He is not a fool. As a prince, his actual power is not much worse than Liu Chan. In the final analysis, it is still because of Ma Su. If there was no Ma Su, as a prince, he would probably have to study Confucianism in the East Palace before ascending the throne.
To put it bluntly, without Ma Su, his value as a prince would not be so great. The reason why he can now supervise the country in Luoyang is because Ma Su is the prince's tutor!
So whether for Ma Su or for himself, he must protect Ma Su.
While Ma Su and Liu Xuan were talking, a personal guard came in to report that the envoy from Chang'an had arrived. Ma Su and his apprentice immediately went out to greet him and waited for the imperial edict to be read.
Before the messenger came in, Ma Su could see Liu Xuan's nervousness. He was really afraid that the people who came were here to arrest Ma Su, and then he would really lose a father-in-law.
Fortunately, the messenger did not intend to arrest Ma Su, but calmly read the imperial edict.
In the imperial edict, Liu Chan reprimanded Ma Su for his misbehavior and hasty actions. Although those aristocratic families were guilty of treason, their status should have been to write to the court for a decision. How could they make such a decision without authorization?
This sentence defined the matter. This was Luoyang's intention to rebel, which was discovered by Ma Su and suppressed by thunder. This has implied that all of Ma Su's actions were legal, but slightly overstepped.
Finally, Liu Chan very straightforwardly issued an edict to severely punish Ma Su's overstepping. In one breath, all of Ma Su's half-year bonus as a general was deducted!
This is the political situation of raising high and letting go lightly, which basically indicates that Ma Su must be saved.
Liu Xuan was overjoyed and his joy was beyond words. If the emperor's envoy was not still there, Liu Xuan would probably jump up with excitement.
However, compared with Liu Xuan, Ma Su seemed a little calmer. Although this time, he took the initiative to hand the knife to the court and did not get any results, Ma Su was not too disappointed.
The reason is that Ma Su is used to it...
From the beginning, Ma Su had no hope of succeeding in such a simple suicide.
Sure enough, it is more reliable to end the chaos early and then wait for his old injury to relapse and die.
After appeasing Ma Su, the imperial edict also brought a great gift to the East Palace.
"Because the governor of Jingzhou was transferred to the governor of Yizhou, and the prime minister returned to Chang'an. The court ordered the general of Louchuan and the court judge Guan Xing to be the governor of Jingzhou, and they were under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace!" The envoy read the edict slowly and said that Jingzhou would be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace from now on.
This was obviously Liu Chan's own idea. After Zhuge Liang returned to Chang'an, the affairs of Jingzhou had to be reported to him again. He didn't like it, so he simply included Jingzhou in the scope of the Eastern Palace's regent.
However, Liu Chan's move to push power also made Liu Xuan unhappy.
"What does my father think of me? A coolie? I am the prince after all!" After the emperor's envoy left, Liu Xuan immediately found Ma Su angrily and complained.
"No, I have to write a memorial to return Jingzhou, and I will never work for my father for one more day!"
"Tsk..." Seeing the prince's attitude, Ma Su was a little bit amused.
Is this really a scene that could happen in the royal family? The so-called most ruthless imperial family began to push the work to each other.
If the emperors of later generations saw this, they would probably be envious and cry to death.
However... this may be the romance of Ji Han...

Just as Ji Han's East and West were pushing power to each other, the capital of Cao Wei, Yecheng, was in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
At this moment, Sima Yi, the minister entrusted by Cao Wei, also became extremely serious.
"So, in order to defile himself, Ma Su even massacred scholars in Luoyang? Just to prove that he would die with the country?" Sima Yi frowned since he finished reading the report from the School Affairs Office.
"How is this possible? Is Ma Su really not afraid of becoming the next Han Xin Wenzhong? Doesn't he consider himself and his family at all?"
As an old artist, Sima Yi could not understand the purpose of Ma Su's doing this. Your current status is enough to make the royal family highly alert to you. If you suddenly do this, isn't it like handing a knife to the emperor to kill you?
Are you crazy, Ma Su?
"Not only that, but the emperor of Western Shu only issued an edict to reprimand him for his usurpation, and there was no substantial punishment at all." The school official nodded and continued to report to Sima Yi.
"Waste! Wei was defeated by such a group of political novices, it's really a waste." Sima Yi shook his head, but soon he suddenly laughed again.
"But it's good this way. When Wei is sold for a good price, my Sima family will be able to enter the court of Shu Han like a fish in water."
The Sima family has a deep family learning, and its members are highly educated, and those who serve in the government are all political geniuses.
Sima Yi believes that with his family learning, he will sooner or later become a top figure when he enters the court of Ji Han!
However, before that...
Sima Yi looked at the current territory of Cao Wei, his expression became more solemn.
"How is the situation in Huainan? Zhao didn't disappoint me, did he?"
"Report to the head of the family, the second son has led his troops out of Shouchun, and the army is divided into three routes, heading straight for Dongxing!" Sima Yi's personal guards bowed and reported to Sima Yi.
"The army against Wu is not large, and the generals are all juniors, and the veterans are basically dead. Their chief general Lu Kang is only 20 years old and has no actual combat experience. The second son wrote back saying that the advantage is mine..."
"Oh no, this guy is probably going to be defeated..." Sima Yi was shocked, and after carefully studying the deployment, he slapped his thigh.
Dongxing was originally unprotected, and it was the home ground of Dongwu. Sima Zhao marched so loudly, if the Wu army suddenly attacked, this time the attack on Wu would be a big defeat!
"Quick! Send a letter to the division in Xudu, asking him to send troops to help quickly. If Dongxing is defeated, all my deployments will be messed up!"
