[Comprehensive + Sword Three] Wu'an World
Chapter 72 Still a familiar formula, not a familiar taste
Mao Jie has been very quiet since Su Yunqing took him to Guandu. Whether Su Yunqing defeated Cao Cao or took over Cao Cao's territory, until now Su Yunqing brought him back to Bingzhou, Mao Jie has always been very quiet and well-behaved. You can do whatever you want to do if you are noisy or not, and you don't run around, which can be said to be very worry-free.
But when Su Yunqing met Mao Jie, she found that Mao Jie was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface. At least in Su Yunqing's opinion, Mao Jie should have had a very bad life.
After all the people around had retreated, Su Yunqing signaled Mao Jie to sit down, Mao Jie was still silent, Su Yunqing asked him to sit down and he sat down without saying anything.
Mao Jie's performance made Su Yunqing sigh: "Xiaoxian, don't you have anything to say?"
"Everything is at the disposal of the lord."
Su Yunqing blinked, Mao Jie still called her the lord, obviously at this moment Mao Jie was on her side.
But Mao Jie's attitude of not defending or explaining at all really made Su Yunqing helpless. Su Yunqing knew very well that Mao Jie's silence at this time was different from Jia Xu's silence at the beginning.
Jia Xu was silent because he knew that he didn't need to explain, but Mao Jie simply felt that there was no need to explain, and there was no need to excuse himself. He just did it, and he was just looking forward to the final judgment.
"Since you don't say anything, let me say it." Su Yunqing looked at Mao Jie: "Cao Cao asked you to come when you came to Bingzhou from the beginning, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you should have participated in what Cao Cao did to Wen He before."
"Yes."
"In the end, you got all my plans and arrangements for Cao Cao from Gongda, and told Cao Cao about them, right?"
"Yes."
Mao Jie did not deny any point, this is what he did.
But Su Yunqing asked again: "So, apart from what I said, have you done anything else?"
"No."
Mao Jie said no, and as far as Su Yunqing knew, there was indeed no such thing.
Cao Cao’s position for Mao Jie was not for him to deliver small news. Naturally, other spies would inquire about those things. If Mao Jie’s level can only be used for these things, then Cao Cao’s brain is really broken. .
After all, if you walk too much at night, you will always meet Kalubi. Who knows if you will be exposed by accident if you frequently let Mao Jie spread the news.
And once Mao Jie is exposed, it is simply impossible to train a faction like Mao Jie to Su Yunqing's side and gain Su Yunqing's trust.
Therefore, Mao Jie cannot be used indiscriminately, so in fact, Mao Jie only did it twice, and it was the two times Cao Cao was very confident that there would never be any problems.
However, I found it the first time.
Regarding this point, Su Yunqing didn't hide anything, she directly told Mao Jie that he had been exposed since Jia Xu's incident.
Hearing this, Mao Jie finally knew why everything was out of control this time.
After thinking about it, Mao Jie couldn't figure out what went wrong. Judging from Su Yunqing's actions, she must have known about it early in the morning, so she was able to prepare so well, but Mao Jie also knew what she had done. It was revealed that he couldn't figure it out.
Of course there is no need to mention Jia Xu that time, normally there would be no problems, but this time, judging from the front and back, it is impossible for Su Yunqing to discover him this time, because if it was only this time , it is bound to not be prepared for everything.
Now Su Yunqing told Mao Jie that he was exposed in that action that seemed impossible to anyone.
Mao Jie is a smart person, so he understands now that he has said this, in fact, Jia Xu is fine at all, and the most fundamental reason why Jia Xu is fine is naturally that Su Yunqing is fine here.
This made Mao Jie smile wryly, but he still said: "Thank you, my lord, for explaining my confusion."
But Su Yunqing said: "Cao Mengde once pleaded with me, hoping that I would think about your past achievements when dealing with this matter, but in fact he didn't need to say this to me."
Finally talking about Su Yunqing's attitude, Mao Jie couldn't help but look over.
Su Yunqing met Mao Jie's gaze and said slowly but firmly: "Xiao Xian, you are guilty, and your crime is very serious."
This is obvious, and Mao Jie himself could not find any reason to justify himself.
"But I don't think so. I want to end this matter without paying the price of your death."
Mao Jie was stunned, and Su Yunqing continued: "Actually, your lord was not me, but Cao Cao. Since you are not my man, you can't talk about betrayal, but each is just one of them. I've said a word from the beginning."
"Don't blame others if you are blind."
"I don't know who I am, do I want you to pay for it?"
Su Yunqing didn't think that she was trying to find excuses for Mao Jie. In fact, if Mao Jie belonged to her in the first place, and then secretly hooked up with Cao Cao to betray her, then Mao Jie was indeed worthless to be forgiven.
But not Mao Jie.
Mao Jie was Cao Cao's person from the very beginning, if he didn't work for Cao Cao but wholeheartedly worked for Su Yunqing, that would be something wrong.
"The previous things are their own masters, and now I don't want to pursue it, Xiaoxian, you just need to do things well in the future."
Speaking of which, people like Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were Cao Cao's people before, not to mention that Cheng Yu and Guo Jia did not know how many black hands Su Yunqing had secretly done, and now everyone can still get along well.
Su Yunqing didn't think that because these people had done things against her, she would kill them to vent her anger after winning.
Only fools do such things.
Turn the enemy into one of your own, strengthen your own strength, and make yourself stronger. This is what you should do.
Although Mao Jie's situation was a bit special, Su Yunqing felt that Mao Jie was totally worth it.
Su Yunqing was willing to give Mao Jie this chance, but Mao Jie didn't want it himself, so he stood up and walked to Su Yunqing and knelt down: "My lord's willingness to forgive a sinner like me is the lord's kindness, but I don't deserve my lord's forgiveness. "
Mao Jie looked at Su Yunqing: "You trust me, and everyone in Bingzhou trusts me and regards me as their own, but I am secretly thinking about how to betray and how to push everyone to destruction."
If Su Yunqing didn't discover Mao Jie's problem early, if Su Yunqing really followed the first plan to fight Cao Cao, then don't think too much, let alone destroy Cao Cao, it is normal for Su Yunqing to be killed by Cao Cao accidentally .
And even if Su Yunqing escaped, his vitality would be severely injured, and he would lose the opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao and unify the north.
If such a thing really happened, then everything would be different now, Mao Jie knew the consequences of what he did, but he still did it.
He knew that many people might die because of this, it might be okay for civil officials, but what about those generals?Cao Cao didn't have Su Yunqing's capital. He was able to defeat these people head-on and subdue them. Cao Cao had only one choice, to kill them directly.
He can only seize the opportunity to kill.
The military generals in Bingzhou, and the hundreds of thousands of Bingzhou sons who went to the battlefield all ended up dead.
As for Su Yunqing, I am afraid there will be no good ending.
Mao Jie knew this, but he did it anyway. He capitalized on the trust of Su Yunqing and those who were about to be pushed to destruction by him, and then did this thing.
Mao Jie felt that this was not worthy of forgiveness.
He was different from Guo Jiacheng Yu. Before that, Guo Jiacheng Yu had never been an official on Su Yunqing's side, let alone be trusted.
But Mao Jie has them all.
Therefore Mao Jie is different from all of them.
Others can go to Su Yunqing after Cao Cao's defeat, but Mao Jie can't, at least in Mao Jie's own opinion, he has no such qualifications.
How could he be qualified to accept Su Yunqing's trust again and become a member of Bingzhou again?
Mao Jie knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head deeply: "My lord, please give me death."
This is his only wish now.
Su Yunqing didn't understand Mao Jie's determination until this moment. Any reason was actually not important to Mao Jie. He had already sentenced himself to death from the very beginning.
But how could Su Yunqing make such a decision?
"Xiaoxian, are you sure you can no longer be used by me?"
At this time, Mao Jie had already shed tears: "My lord, please fulfill me. As for being loyal to my lord, if there is another life, I just hope I don't have to do such a thing again."
He couldn't ask for more.
If it is possible, Mao Jie's wish is actually very simple. How good would it be if he stayed in Yanzhou to work for Cao Cao after he first defected to Cao Cao, or if he came to Bingzhou from the beginning?
Or, if Su Yunqing wasn't a good protagonist, and she was someone like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, Mao Jie wouldn't be in such pain.
But there are no ifs in this world, so Mao Jie has no choice.
Su Yunqing looked at Mao Jie for a long while, and finally sighed: "In that case, Xiaoxian, from today on, you will be dismissed from all positions, and you can study behind closed doors at home."
If Mao Jie is destined not to stand with her anymore, then she can't force it, but she can't do it if she simply orders Mao Jie to be killed.
After all, in Su Yunqing's view, Mao Jie was not guilty of death no matter what.
In other words, Mao Jie has indeed committed a very serious crime, but he has made great contributions to Bingzhou before. punishment.
But Mao Jie could not accept this.
Mao Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head: "My lord——!"
"Enough!" Su Yunqing stood up and did not ask Mao Jie to say anything more: "I don't want to say more, I am the lord, so this matter has to be done according to my decision, are you asking for my judgment? Or do you just want to satisfy your own desires?"
When Su Yunqing said such words, Mao Jie had nothing to refute except to keep his mouth shut. Yes, how to deal with him was Su Yunqing's business, and he had no room for comment other than accepting it.
But Mao Jie fell on the ground and wept. He only said one sentence, which was not worth it.
A person like him is not worthy of Su Yunqing doing this for him.
The more tolerant Su Yunqing was to him, the more he could feel his despicableness.
Su Yunqing pursed her lips, and finally said loudly: "Come here!"
The guards who had been guarding outside the door immediately entered when they heard the call. Su Yunqing pointed to Mao Jie and said, "From now on, Mao Jiege will be resigned from all duties, and he will be closed at home to think about his mistakes. Without my permission, he will never be released!"
The guards didn't ask much, they came up and escorted Mao Jie away, Su Yunqing lowered his eyes and stopped looking.
People have the instinct to survive, no one can really die without regrets, Su Yunqing can't persuade Mao Jie, and can only hope that Mao Jie will naturally let go of this matter after a period of time.
However, no matter what, Su Yunqing knew very well that Mao Jie would never come back.
After dealing with Mao Jie's matter, Su Yunqing can finally take care of her own affairs, but she was full of joy and expectation at first, but now she doesn't have much thought to care about Cai Yan and the two children.
Su Yunqing was no longer in the mood to make fun of Lv Buna's tangled expression that had chosen a bunch of names and didn't know how to choose.
But many things are not because Su Yunqing is not interested, she will not come here. In fact, the world will not stop for anyone.
After Su Yunqing defeated Cao Cao, it can be said that the north was basically unified, and if you count down, there are only Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei in Yangzhou.
Well, except for one Zhang Lu, the rest are all surnamed Liu →_→
As for why Ma Teng in Liangzhou was not counted, it is probably because Liangzhou has not been very stable. Even in the period of Emperor Ling, the control of Liangzhou was not very good. It can be said that Liangzhou only belonged to the big man in name That's all, as for the fact... If the central government really had a strong control over Liangzhou, the rebellion by Bian Zhang Han Sui would not have happened.
Today, the remaining few princes still occupy most of the world in terms of territorial area. Even if Su Yunqing unified the north, it cannot be compared with it. However, the economic culture and political center of this era are actually in the north. To some extent, it is not far from controlling the world.
So no matter what the relationship with Su Yunqing is like, no matter what you scold Su Yunqing in your heart, on the surface, the remaining princes still want to send people to congratulate Su Yunqing, say more good things, and don't care about them at all. I just had a fight with Su Yunqing, and everyone was very tacit, as if that war never happened at all.
The princes of the world have already expressed their opinions, so of course the emperor should take action here. You must know that Su Yunqing has always been a loyal minister of the great man in Liu Xie's mind. It's not as gentle and pure as she appears on the surface, but Liu Xie can't do anything. On the contrary, before Su Yunqing expresses his objection, Liu Xie has to show kindness, because apart from the kindness in face, Liu Xie knows very well that he Nothing at all.
Su Yunqing has power and status, the only thing Liu Xie can give Su Yunqing is to give Su Yunqing some face-saving things in his current nominal status as the most noble emperor of the Han Dynasty.
For example, when Liu Xie named Su Yunqing the Duke of Wu'an, Su Yunqing's position changed from a marquis to a duke. Later, Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Su Yunqing's official position as a Taiwei, one of the three princes, so he proposed to restore the old system and set up a prime minister , Returning the power of San Gong to the prime minister.
As for the so-called prime minister candidate, everyone knows that there is no one else except Su Yunqing.
Liu Xie knew that if he did this, it would be fueling Su Yunqing's power. From then on, Su Yunqing would truly have power in the world, and all of this was authorized by him, the emperor.
But what Liu Xie knows better is that he has no other choice other than this.
Su Yunqing has come to this point, so whether it is a duke or a prime minister, it has become a matter of course. As long as Su Yunqing wants to do this, is there anyone who can stop it?
Since he couldn't stop it, Liu Xie simply chose to give it himself.
At least compared to Su Yunqing demanding it from him with forceful means, Liu Xie's initiative to give is more able to maintain the seemingly good relationship between him and Su Yunqing.
Su Yunqing has treated Liu Xie well these years. Although Liu Xie has various restrictions, Su Yunqing has given him enough face. At least Liu Xie has the majesty of the emperor. Everyone in Bingzhou abides by his duty when he sees him, and never surpasses it. If something rude happens, if someone despises Liu Xie and disrespects Liu Xie, Su Yunqing will even punish Liu Xie to protect Liu Xie.
As for what Liu Xie did, after all these years, he actually has a lot of things to do, and now he can have real things to discuss and deal with when he goes to court every day, instead of just listening Some useless nonsense.
...At least it looks like an emperor.
Liu Xie knows that as long as he still obeys Su Yunqing, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for Su Yunqing, then his good life will continue, and even get better and better, just like his current situation is better than when he first came to Bingzhou Too much the same.
Su Yunqing was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an and became the prime minister. This is a great joy for Su Yunqing and Su Yunqing's subordinates. It means that Su Yunqing has taken a step forward in terms of power and status, and it also means that Su Yunqing can do more. something happened.
One thing was beyond Su Yunqing's expectations. She thought that because of her gender, some people would gossip this time. What's more, there should be quite a few people who opposed it, but this time everything went wrong. It went very smoothly, without any discordant factors at all.
Su Yunqing thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Power and status are really the best things in the world, because Su Yunqing has not only status, but also real power, and the credit for unifying the north, so no matter what others think, at this time, I dare not say it Can't say that.
No one would want to have trouble with Su Yunqing at this time.
The power of the prime minister can really be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, but now, Liu Xie is the emperor in name, but actually has no real power. It can be said that, in essence, Su Yunqing has mastered the power of being an emperor. The power that can be controlled.
Su Yunqing suddenly realized that the whole world was different when she came to this step. When she was not in this position, it seemed that there were too many things that she hadn't done, but when she was standing here, she knew that It's actually not that complicated.
All she has to do is to send troops south to reunify the country, and then...then it's time to change the name of this world.
Su Yunqing felt that she was simply super powerful!
The system only asked her to be Lord Wu'an, but she is now Lord Wu'an!
She had already thought about it, once she became emperor, she would be called Emperor Wu'an.
It is impossible for Wu Anjun in this life, there is no reason why the title should be conferred backwards, the smaller the title, if Su Yunqing is conferred as Wu Anjun at this time, I am afraid that the world will really be shaken.
However, without Lord Wu'an, it would be nice to have the ultimate title of Emperor Wu'an.
Su Yunqing felt that she was simply too witty!
...But the system feels that he can't wait to cry and faint in Guan San's arms _(:зゝ∠)_
It's so embarrassing!
But people probably shouldn't be too complacent. If they are too complacent, they will be poured cold water.
Not long after, Su Yunqing got the news that Mao Jie had died.
Su Yunqing was taken aback when she heard the news, she never thought that Mao Jie would die.
But Mao Jie was really dead and committed suicide.
The way Su Yunqing looked at the reporting brother made the other party tremble, and finally said: "Sir, there are still some things left for the prime minister, prime minister, do you think..."
"bring here."
What can be left to her by Mao Jie at this time, I am afraid that Mao Jie has put all his hard work on it.
Apart from one letter, Mao Jie left Su Yunqing with two boxes full of bamboo slips.
Su Yunqing read the letter first, in which Mao Jie said that he was grateful for Su Yunqing's kindness to him, but he was destined to live up to this kindness, or in other words, he was not qualified to accept all of this.
Mao Jie said that in the end he made such a choice because he obeyed his own will. He is grateful for Su Yunqing's trust in him over the years and everything he has done for him this time, but he is still destined to walk on this path.
He has nothing to repay Su Yunqing, all he can do is to leave as much as possible in the last days, if Su Yunqing is willing to use it, then use it, if not, just burn it, he She doesn't expect Su Yunqing to trust him again.
What Mao Jie left behind were those two boxes of bamboo slips, Su Yunqing flipped through them and knew what they were.
Su Yunqing said from the beginning that Mao Jie is an excellent strategic talent, but this time, Mao Jie no longer needs to hide anything, he wholeheartedly planned the future strategic layout and general direction of action for Su Yunqing, not only that, he It also left behind detailed phase goals and a highly feasible execution plan.
In addition, regarding what Mao Jie has been working on over the years, such as the school system, such as the new talent selection system, this time Mao Jie has produced the most detailed finished products. Su Yunqing can tell at a glance, each of these The words were written by Mao Jie with all his heart and soul, and there was no false statement. Everything he said was feasible and had practical results.
Su Yunqing just glanced at it casually and couldn't take it anymore. Mao Jie probably started preparing for so many things when she took them to Guandu. I don't understand why Mao Jie would do this.
Until Su Yunqing saw Jia Xu coming, Jia Xu didn't say anything else, but waved away the waiters first, Su Yunqing nodded, and didn't object to Jia Xu's approach.
After everyone went down, Jia Xu finally said, "I said a long time ago that you should have killed him in the first place."
Su Yunqing was taken aback, she never thought that Jia Xu would say such a thing.
But Jia Xu continued: "Don't you understand? No matter what the outcome of your battle with Cao Cao is, Mao Jie will never survive. Living is too much torture for him."
"But I've already..."
"But you have pardoned him, have you not?"
Jia Xu said what Su Yunqing hadn't said yet, but he was very disapproving of Su Yunqing's attitude: "Because you forgave him, he will only suffer more."
Looking at the two boxes of bamboo slips left by Mao Jie, Jia Xu said mercilessly: "If you killed him at the very beginning, he would be relieved, this is exactly the ending he expected, but you No, your forgiveness is unbearable for him, and he will not complain about you because of your generosity and virtue, but in fact, all this is the best way to torture him, I don’t need to ask any more questions, but I also know that when he died, he must have been tortured and extremely painful.”
Su Yunqing finally raised her head to look at Jia Xu: "...so I did something wrong?"
"If you are not wrong in terms of practice alone, anyone should even praise your generosity."
But aside from this point, it was Su Yunqing who inflicted the pain on Mao Jie, so that Mao Jie could only choose to end his life in pain.
He has lost his chance of soul salvation forever.
"You know him well, but not well enough."
Otherwise, Su Yunqing would never choose such an approach.
Su Yunqing looked at Jia Xu: "Did you know this would happen from the beginning?"
"Yes."
Jia Xu did not deny this point, and because he knew it clearly, he always suggested that Su Yunqing kill Mao Jie directly, without any forgiveness, let alone any understanding and forgiveness.
Mao Jie didn't need any of these things.
Mao Jie's death was extremely painful, and all of this was given to him by Su Yunqing.
But everyone knows that Mao Jie will never have any resentment towards Su Yunqing because of this. In fact, it is because he has no resentment towards Su Yunqing that the only one who suffers is himself.
Should Mao Jie hate Su Yunqing?
If this is the case, probably many people will say that Mao Jie is too ignorant of good and bad.
But in fact, Su Yunqing knew very well that when she made that decision without listening to any advice, she had already plunged Mao Jie into a situation where she could never recover.
If she could have followed Jia Xu's advice and killed Mao Jie directly, Mao Jie would have died calmly and happily.
At least Mao Jie at that time could still say that if given the chance, he would only assist one person.
But now, Mao Jie really died of pain.
Su Yunqing clearly realized that she was the one who actually killed Mao Jie in the end. She tortured this man in the name of kindness, and finally made him overwhelmed and died in endless pain and self-loathing.
And all this is because she is too self-righteous.
She satisfies herself with what is extremely painful to Mao Jie, and satisfies her kindness and nobility of forgiving others.
And in reality she is nothing.
She is not kind at all.
The greatest kindness to Mao Jie should be to kill him. Mao Jie also expected the same, right?
He didn't need anything else, let alone forgiveness.
Su Yunqing finally couldn't hold back and lay down on the table, her face was covered by her wide sleeves, Jia Xu couldn't hear any other sounds except for a suppressed whimper, and couldn't see any tears from other places.
Jia Xu moved her lips, but after all, she turned around quietly and backed out without saying a word.
He knew there were some things he didn't need to say.
Su Yunqing also knows that no matter what she feels in her heart, no matter what she bears, weakness is unacceptable, because there are more people behind her, and she supports the belief and future of these people, and she must lead Let everyone go down.
So whether it was tears or anything else, Su Yunqing could only keep it to herself. As long as she opened the door and went outside, she had to wipe everything away, and she had to straighten her spine and walk on without wavering.
Otherwise, there is no choice.
But when Su Yunqing met Mao Jie, she found that Mao Jie was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface. At least in Su Yunqing's opinion, Mao Jie should have had a very bad life.
After all the people around had retreated, Su Yunqing signaled Mao Jie to sit down, Mao Jie was still silent, Su Yunqing asked him to sit down and he sat down without saying anything.
Mao Jie's performance made Su Yunqing sigh: "Xiaoxian, don't you have anything to say?"
"Everything is at the disposal of the lord."
Su Yunqing blinked, Mao Jie still called her the lord, obviously at this moment Mao Jie was on her side.
But Mao Jie's attitude of not defending or explaining at all really made Su Yunqing helpless. Su Yunqing knew very well that Mao Jie's silence at this time was different from Jia Xu's silence at the beginning.
Jia Xu was silent because he knew that he didn't need to explain, but Mao Jie simply felt that there was no need to explain, and there was no need to excuse himself. He just did it, and he was just looking forward to the final judgment.
"Since you don't say anything, let me say it." Su Yunqing looked at Mao Jie: "Cao Cao asked you to come when you came to Bingzhou from the beginning, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you should have participated in what Cao Cao did to Wen He before."
"Yes."
"In the end, you got all my plans and arrangements for Cao Cao from Gongda, and told Cao Cao about them, right?"
"Yes."
Mao Jie did not deny any point, this is what he did.
But Su Yunqing asked again: "So, apart from what I said, have you done anything else?"
"No."
Mao Jie said no, and as far as Su Yunqing knew, there was indeed no such thing.
Cao Cao’s position for Mao Jie was not for him to deliver small news. Naturally, other spies would inquire about those things. If Mao Jie’s level can only be used for these things, then Cao Cao’s brain is really broken. .
After all, if you walk too much at night, you will always meet Kalubi. Who knows if you will be exposed by accident if you frequently let Mao Jie spread the news.
And once Mao Jie is exposed, it is simply impossible to train a faction like Mao Jie to Su Yunqing's side and gain Su Yunqing's trust.
Therefore, Mao Jie cannot be used indiscriminately, so in fact, Mao Jie only did it twice, and it was the two times Cao Cao was very confident that there would never be any problems.
However, I found it the first time.
Regarding this point, Su Yunqing didn't hide anything, she directly told Mao Jie that he had been exposed since Jia Xu's incident.

Su Yunqing didn't think that she was trying to find excuses for Mao Jie. In fact, if Mao Jie belonged to her in the first place, and then secretly hooked up with Cao Cao to betray her, then Mao Jie was indeed worthless to be forgiven.
But not Mao Jie.
Mao Jie was Cao Cao's person from the very beginning, if he didn't work for Cao Cao but wholeheartedly worked for Su Yunqing, that would be something wrong.
"The previous things are their own masters, and now I don't want to pursue it, Xiaoxian, you just need to do things well in the future."
Speaking of which, people like Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were Cao Cao's people before, not to mention that Cheng Yu and Guo Jia did not know how many black hands Su Yunqing had secretly done, and now everyone can still get along well.
Su Yunqing didn't think that because these people had done things against her, she would kill them to vent her anger after winning.
Only fools do such things.
Turn the enemy into one of your own, strengthen your own strength, and make yourself stronger. This is what you should do.
Although Mao Jie's situation was a bit special, Su Yunqing felt that Mao Jie was totally worth it.
Su Yunqing was willing to give Mao Jie this chance, but Mao Jie didn't want it himself, so he stood up and walked to Su Yunqing and knelt down: "My lord's willingness to forgive a sinner like me is the lord's kindness, but I don't deserve my lord's forgiveness. "
Mao Jie looked at Su Yunqing: "You trust me, and everyone in Bingzhou trusts me and regards me as their own, but I am secretly thinking about how to betray and how to push everyone to destruction."

He was different from Guo Jiacheng Yu. Before that, Guo Jiacheng Yu had never been an official on Su Yunqing's side, let alone be trusted.
But Mao Jie has them all.
Therefore Mao Jie is different from all of them.
Others can go to Su Yunqing after Cao Cao's defeat, but Mao Jie can't, at least in Mao Jie's own opinion, he has no such qualifications.
How could he be qualified to accept Su Yunqing's trust again and become a member of Bingzhou again?
Mao Jie knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head deeply: "My lord, please give me death."
This is his only wish now.
Su Yunqing didn't understand Mao Jie's determination until this moment. Any reason was actually not important to Mao Jie. He had already sentenced himself to death from the very beginning.
But how could Su Yunqing make such a decision?
"Xiaoxian, are you sure you can no longer be used by me?"
At this time, Mao Jie had already shed tears: "My lord, please fulfill me. As for being loyal to my lord, if there is another life, I just hope I don't have to do such a thing again."
He couldn't ask for more.
If it is possible, Mao Jie's wish is actually very simple. How good would it be if he stayed in Yanzhou to work for Cao Cao after he first defected to Cao Cao, or if he came to Bingzhou from the beginning?
Or, if Su Yunqing wasn't a good protagonist, and she was someone like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, Mao Jie wouldn't be in such pain.
But there are no ifs in this world, so Mao Jie has no choice.
Su Yunqing looked at Mao Jie for a long while, and finally sighed: "In that case, Xiaoxian, from today on, you will be dismissed from all positions, and you can study behind closed doors at home."
If Mao Jie is destined not to stand with her anymore, then she can't force it, but she can't do it if she simply orders Mao Jie to be killed.
After all, in Su Yunqing's view, Mao Jie was not guilty of death no matter what.
In other words, Mao Jie has indeed committed a very serious crime, but he has made great contributions to Bingzhou before. punishment.
But Mao Jie could not accept this.
Mao Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head: "My lord——!"
"Enough!" Su Yunqing stood up and did not ask Mao Jie to say anything more: "I don't want to say more, I am the lord, so this matter has to be done according to my decision, are you asking for my judgment? Or do you just want to satisfy your own desires?"
When Su Yunqing said such words, Mao Jie had nothing to refute except to keep his mouth shut. Yes, how to deal with him was Su Yunqing's business, and he had no room for comment other than accepting it.
But Mao Jie fell on the ground and wept. He only said one sentence, which was not worth it.
A person like him is not worthy of Su Yunqing doing this for him.
The more tolerant Su Yunqing was to him, the more he could feel his despicableness.
Su Yunqing pursed her lips, and finally said loudly: "Come here!"
The guards who had been guarding outside the door immediately entered when they heard the call. Su Yunqing pointed to Mao Jie and said, "From now on, Mao Jiege will be resigned from all duties, and he will be closed at home to think about his mistakes. Without my permission, he will never be released!"
The guards didn't ask much, they came up and escorted Mao Jie away, Su Yunqing lowered his eyes and stopped looking.
People have the instinct to survive, no one can really die without regrets, Su Yunqing can't persuade Mao Jie, and can only hope that Mao Jie will naturally let go of this matter after a period of time.
However, no matter what, Su Yunqing knew very well that Mao Jie would never come back.
After dealing with Mao Jie's matter, Su Yunqing can finally take care of her own affairs, but she was full of joy and expectation at first, but now she doesn't have much thought to care about Cai Yan and the two children.
Su Yunqing was no longer in the mood to make fun of Lv Buna's tangled expression that had chosen a bunch of names and didn't know how to choose.
But many things are not because Su Yunqing is not interested, she will not come here. In fact, the world will not stop for anyone.
After Su Yunqing defeated Cao Cao, it can be said that the north was basically unified, and if you count down, there are only Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei in Yangzhou.
Well, except for one Zhang Lu, the rest are all surnamed Liu →_→
As for why Ma Teng in Liangzhou was not counted, it is probably because Liangzhou has not been very stable. Even in the period of Emperor Ling, the control of Liangzhou was not very good. It can be said that Liangzhou only belonged to the big man in name That's all, as for the fact... If the central government really had a strong control over Liangzhou, the rebellion by Bian Zhang Han Sui would not have happened.
Today, the remaining few princes still occupy most of the world in terms of territorial area. Even if Su Yunqing unified the north, it cannot be compared with it. However, the economic culture and political center of this era are actually in the north. To some extent, it is not far from controlling the world.
So no matter what the relationship with Su Yunqing is like, no matter what you scold Su Yunqing in your heart, on the surface, the remaining princes still want to send people to congratulate Su Yunqing, say more good things, and don't care about them at all. I just had a fight with Su Yunqing, and everyone was very tacit, as if that war never happened at all.
The princes of the world have already expressed their opinions, so of course the emperor should take action here. You must know that Su Yunqing has always been a loyal minister of the great man in Liu Xie's mind. It's not as gentle and pure as she appears on the surface, but Liu Xie can't do anything. On the contrary, before Su Yunqing expresses his objection, Liu Xie has to show kindness, because apart from the kindness in face, Liu Xie knows very well that he Nothing at all.
Su Yunqing has power and status, the only thing Liu Xie can give Su Yunqing is to give Su Yunqing some face-saving things in his current nominal status as the most noble emperor of the Han Dynasty.
For example, when Liu Xie named Su Yunqing the Duke of Wu'an, Su Yunqing's position changed from a marquis to a duke. Later, Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Su Yunqing's official position as a Taiwei, one of the three princes, so he proposed to restore the old system and set up a prime minister , Returning the power of San Gong to the prime minister.
As for the so-called prime minister candidate, everyone knows that there is no one else except Su Yunqing.
Liu Xie knew that if he did this, it would be fueling Su Yunqing's power. From then on, Su Yunqing would truly have power in the world, and all of this was authorized by him, the emperor.
But what Liu Xie knows better is that he has no other choice other than this.
Su Yunqing has come to this point, so whether it is a duke or a prime minister, it has become a matter of course. As long as Su Yunqing wants to do this, is there anyone who can stop it?
Since he couldn't stop it, Liu Xie simply chose to give it himself.
At least compared to Su Yunqing demanding it from him with forceful means, Liu Xie's initiative to give is more able to maintain the seemingly good relationship between him and Su Yunqing.
Su Yunqing has treated Liu Xie well these years. Although Liu Xie has various restrictions, Su Yunqing has given him enough face. At least Liu Xie has the majesty of the emperor. Everyone in Bingzhou abides by his duty when he sees him, and never surpasses it. If something rude happens, if someone despises Liu Xie and disrespects Liu Xie, Su Yunqing will even punish Liu Xie to protect Liu Xie.
As for what Liu Xie did, after all these years, he actually has a lot of things to do, and now he can have real things to discuss and deal with when he goes to court every day, instead of just listening Some useless nonsense.
...At least it looks like an emperor.
Liu Xie knows that as long as he still obeys Su Yunqing, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for Su Yunqing, then his good life will continue, and even get better and better, just like his current situation is better than when he first came to Bingzhou Too much the same.
Su Yunqing was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an and became the prime minister. This is a great joy for Su Yunqing and Su Yunqing's subordinates. It means that Su Yunqing has taken a step forward in terms of power and status, and it also means that Su Yunqing can do more. something happened.
One thing was beyond Su Yunqing's expectations. She thought that because of her gender, some people would gossip this time. What's more, there should be quite a few people who opposed it, but this time everything went wrong. It went very smoothly, without any discordant factors at all.
Su Yunqing thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Power and status are really the best things in the world, because Su Yunqing has not only status, but also real power, and the credit for unifying the north, so no matter what others think, at this time, I dare not say it Can't say that.
No one would want to have trouble with Su Yunqing at this time.
The power of the prime minister can really be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, but now, Liu Xie is the emperor in name, but actually has no real power. It can be said that, in essence, Su Yunqing has mastered the power of being an emperor. The power that can be controlled.
Su Yunqing suddenly realized that the whole world was different when she came to this step. When she was not in this position, it seemed that there were too many things that she hadn't done, but when she was standing here, she knew that It's actually not that complicated.
All she has to do is to send troops south to reunify the country, and then...then it's time to change the name of this world.
Su Yunqing felt that she was simply super powerful!
The system only asked her to be Lord Wu'an, but she is now Lord Wu'an!
She had already thought about it, once she became emperor, she would be called Emperor Wu'an.
It is impossible for Wu Anjun in this life, there is no reason why the title should be conferred backwards, the smaller the title, if Su Yunqing is conferred as Wu Anjun at this time, I am afraid that the world will really be shaken.
However, without Lord Wu'an, it would be nice to have the ultimate title of Emperor Wu'an.
Su Yunqing felt that she was simply too witty!
...But the system feels that he can't wait to cry and faint in Guan San's arms _(:зゝ∠)_
It's so embarrassing!
But people probably shouldn't be too complacent. If they are too complacent, they will be poured cold water.
Not long after, Su Yunqing got the news that Mao Jie had died.
Su Yunqing was taken aback when she heard the news, she never thought that Mao Jie would die.
But Mao Jie was really dead and committed suicide.
The way Su Yunqing looked at the reporting brother made the other party tremble, and finally said: "Sir, there are still some things left for the prime minister, prime minister, do you think..."
"bring here."
What can be left to her by Mao Jie at this time, I am afraid that Mao Jie has put all his hard work on it.
Apart from one letter, Mao Jie left Su Yunqing with two boxes full of bamboo slips.
Su Yunqing read the letter first, in which Mao Jie said that he was grateful for Su Yunqing's kindness to him, but he was destined to live up to this kindness, or in other words, he was not qualified to accept all of this.
Mao Jie said that in the end he made such a choice because he obeyed his own will. He is grateful for Su Yunqing's trust in him over the years and everything he has done for him this time, but he is still destined to walk on this path.
He has nothing to repay Su Yunqing, all he can do is to leave as much as possible in the last days, if Su Yunqing is willing to use it, then use it, if not, just burn it, he She doesn't expect Su Yunqing to trust him again.
What Mao Jie left behind were those two boxes of bamboo slips, Su Yunqing flipped through them and knew what they were.
Su Yunqing said from the beginning that Mao Jie is an excellent strategic talent, but this time, Mao Jie no longer needs to hide anything, he wholeheartedly planned the future strategic layout and general direction of action for Su Yunqing, not only that, he It also left behind detailed phase goals and a highly feasible execution plan.
In addition, regarding what Mao Jie has been working on over the years, such as the school system, such as the new talent selection system, this time Mao Jie has produced the most detailed finished products. Su Yunqing can tell at a glance, each of these The words were written by Mao Jie with all his heart and soul, and there was no false statement. Everything he said was feasible and had practical results.
Su Yunqing just glanced at it casually and couldn't take it anymore. Mao Jie probably started preparing for so many things when she took them to Guandu. I don't understand why Mao Jie would do this.
Until Su Yunqing saw Jia Xu coming, Jia Xu didn't say anything else, but waved away the waiters first, Su Yunqing nodded, and didn't object to Jia Xu's approach.
After everyone went down, Jia Xu finally said, "I said a long time ago that you should have killed him in the first place."
Su Yunqing was taken aback, she never thought that Jia Xu would say such a thing.
But Jia Xu continued: "Don't you understand? No matter what the outcome of your battle with Cao Cao is, Mao Jie will never survive. Living is too much torture for him."
"But I've already..."
"But you have pardoned him, have you not?"
Jia Xu said what Su Yunqing hadn't said yet, but he was very disapproving of Su Yunqing's attitude: "Because you forgave him, he will only suffer more."
Looking at the two boxes of bamboo slips left by Mao Jie, Jia Xu said mercilessly: "If you killed him at the very beginning, he would be relieved, this is exactly the ending he expected, but you No, your forgiveness is unbearable for him, and he will not complain about you because of your generosity and virtue, but in fact, all this is the best way to torture him, I don’t need to ask any more questions, but I also know that when he died, he must have been tortured and extremely painful.”
Su Yunqing finally raised her head to look at Jia Xu: "...so I did something wrong?"
"If you are not wrong in terms of practice alone, anyone should even praise your generosity."
But aside from this point, it was Su Yunqing who inflicted the pain on Mao Jie, so that Mao Jie could only choose to end his life in pain.
He has lost his chance of soul salvation forever.
"You know him well, but not well enough."
Otherwise, Su Yunqing would never choose such an approach.
Su Yunqing looked at Jia Xu: "Did you know this would happen from the beginning?"
"Yes."
Jia Xu did not deny this point, and because he knew it clearly, he always suggested that Su Yunqing kill Mao Jie directly, without any forgiveness, let alone any understanding and forgiveness.
Mao Jie didn't need any of these things.
Mao Jie's death was extremely painful, and all of this was given to him by Su Yunqing.
But everyone knows that Mao Jie will never have any resentment towards Su Yunqing because of this. In fact, it is because he has no resentment towards Su Yunqing that the only one who suffers is himself.
Should Mao Jie hate Su Yunqing?
If this is the case, probably many people will say that Mao Jie is too ignorant of good and bad.
But in fact, Su Yunqing knew very well that when she made that decision without listening to any advice, she had already plunged Mao Jie into a situation where she could never recover.
If she could have followed Jia Xu's advice and killed Mao Jie directly, Mao Jie would have died calmly and happily.
At least Mao Jie at that time could still say that if given the chance, he would only assist one person.
But now, Mao Jie really died of pain.
Su Yunqing clearly realized that she was the one who actually killed Mao Jie in the end. She tortured this man in the name of kindness, and finally made him overwhelmed and died in endless pain and self-loathing.
And all this is because she is too self-righteous.
She satisfies herself with what is extremely painful to Mao Jie, and satisfies her kindness and nobility of forgiving others.
And in reality she is nothing.
She is not kind at all.
The greatest kindness to Mao Jie should be to kill him. Mao Jie also expected the same, right?
He didn't need anything else, let alone forgiveness.
Su Yunqing finally couldn't hold back and lay down on the table, her face was covered by her wide sleeves, Jia Xu couldn't hear any other sounds except for a suppressed whimper, and couldn't see any tears from other places.
Jia Xu moved her lips, but after all, she turned around quietly and backed out without saying a word.
He knew there were some things he didn't need to say.
Su Yunqing also knows that no matter what she feels in her heart, no matter what she bears, weakness is unacceptable, because there are more people behind her, and she supports the belief and future of these people, and she must lead Let everyone go down.
So whether it was tears or anything else, Su Yunqing could only keep it to herself. As long as she opened the door and went outside, she had to wipe everything away, and she had to straighten her spine and walk on without wavering.
Otherwise, there is no choice.
