The Three Kingdoms

"The Cao Wei dynasty used to be an enemy of the court after all, and the old ministers of Cao Wei were all surrendered ministers. I don't want to believe that the people of the Cao Wei family are there when I get along with the court. As long as the chief assistant is willing to take a half step, maybe we can completely suppress the Cao Wei family. The expansion can even suppress Xun Yu's promotion..."

Kuai Liang's turbid eyes flickered with traces of brilliance.

"Are you here to be a lobbyist?" Zhang Zhao's eyes burst into a bright light.

Let him take the initiative to give in, he can't do it.

He would rather Sun Quan cut off his head.

"No!"

Kuai Liang shook his head: "I came here today not to persuade Lord Shoufu to admit defeat to His Majesty, but to pave the way for a certain way out for the Marquis of Chu and for the aliens!"

The Marquis of Chu is the son of Liu Biao, Liu Cong who led the Kingdom of Chu and surrendered.

This is the spirit of the Chu family.

And the difference is Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue is the only person in a high position in the Chu family today, if you can't keep Kuai Yue, you can't keep the influence of the Chu family in the court.

"Zirou, we are on the wrong team this time, and we have to pay the price!"

Zhang Zhao's voice was soft but cold.

"Of course I know!"

Kuai Liang said: "I will write to the imperial court, confess my guilt, and implore Your Majesty to take back the title of the Kuai family and my fief!"

He, Kuai Liang, resigned as a Duke. There is a principality in the west. Although there are only a few cities, it is also a principality.

But none of this compares to the Chu faction's foothold in the imperial court.

In order to allow the Chu family to continue to gain a foothold in the court, Kuai Liang could give up everything, including his life.

"I will consider this matter!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao glanced at Kuai Liang with a flash of astonishment, and was speechless for a long time, and finally he could only let out a long sigh.

"I hope Mr. Shoufu can think about it seriously. Now that things have come to an end, we have to take a step back before we have a chance to make a comeback!"

Kuai Liang left.

"Take a step back!"

Zhang Zhao was also lost in thought.

……

Three days later, an earth-shattering news came out of the Kuai Mansion.

Kuai Liang, the former cabinet assistant, died.

In a cold night, with just a glass of poisoned wine, a generation of famous officials left alone. In the early morning of the next day, Kuai Yue found his body in the study.

Kuai Liang wrote a memorial with his own blood before he died.

This memorial soon reached Sun Quan's case.

"Kuai Liang, Kuai Liang, you are so ruthless!"

In the imperial study room, Sun Quan looked at the silk script written in blood before the case, with a wry smile on his lips.

Kuai Liang took all the responsibility for this crime, admitted that his crime was unforgivable, and asked the court to take back his title and his fiefdom.

He meant to remove Kuai Yue and the entire Chu clan.

If it was just a memorandum, it would naturally not have such a great power.

But if Kuai Liang's life is added, even Sun Quan can't continue to put the blame on the officials of the Chu family.

In this way, Kuai Liang kept the Chu family's foothold in the imperial court.

The calculation is very precise.

The price paid is also heavy.

"Your Majesty, this matter has caused a lot of discussion in the court, and it has made many officials feel a little bit brighter!" Zhuge Jin said softly.

"deliver an imperial order!"

Sun Quan closed the silk script and said: "Confer Kuai Liang the Duke of Jing, and he will be buried with the ceremonies of a Duke. His title and land can be succeeded by the elites of Kuai's family. In addition, Liu Cong, Marquis of Chu, will be granted the title of Duke of Nan Chu, and he will be recommended as the Sixth Rank of the Imperial Study Room." Staff!"

It's an attitude.

He was telling Kuai Yue that Kuai Liang had taken over the matter of standing on the wrong team this time, he was safe, and so was the entire Chu family.

"According to the order!"

A staff officer of the Imperial Academy stationed in the imperial study drafted the imperial edict, and then let Zhuge Jin review it, and then asked Sun Quan to stamp the imperial seal himself, and the imperial edict came into effect.

……

"Kai Zirou, I have to say, you are ruthless!" Zhang Zhao trembled when he heard the news, and his whole body felt a little chilly.

Kuai Liang's move was too ruthless.

This is a bold oppression, using his life to oppress, and the oppressor is the most powerful emperor Sun Quan today.

However, Sun Quan gave in.

This was somewhat unexpected to him.

"It seems that this position can't be in Love Inn forever!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a long time, went to Jin's study room, picked up a pen and ink, and began to write a memorial.

……

"Zhang Zhao wants to dismiss the position of chief assistant of the cabinet and recommend Zhu Zhi as chief assistant?"

In the imperial study room, Sun Quan was reviewing several memorials reported from some places, but Zhuge Jin personally sent a memorial, which was written by Zhang Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Sun Quan took a look, and for a moment he was not sure what Zhang Zhao was thinking.

"Ziyu, what do you mean by Zhang Zibu?"

"Your Majesty, this is already obvious. After Xun Yu entered the cabinet, he joined forces with Zhong Yao and has begun to gain a firm foothold. Zhang Shoufu also knows that since he has lost your trust in him, this position will definitely not be guaranteed. His Majesty will take him Before taking the lead, he made a retreat, which can also be said to be an advance, gave up the position of chief assistant, and recommended Zhu Zhi!"

Zhuge Jin's thoughts turned, and he quickly figured out the reason: "Zhang Zhao can no longer keep his position, and he is not willing to hand over the cabinet to Xun Yu. After all, in his opinion, Xun Yu is always an old minister of Cao Wei. It's unbelievable, all he made a second choice and was willing to give up the position of chief assistant automatically, so that His Majesty didn't need to bother to make him stand up. Even after he abdicated, he would try his best to stabilize the cabinet for His Majesty. The premise is that the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, Xun Yu cannot take over!"
