The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

They all thought that this was an opportunity to break the power of the eunuchs, and they all said the same thing.

Zhang Gong gritted his teeth and immediately said, "Your Majesty! The intention of rebellion must not be let go!"

Zhang Rang also spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, 'grass and weeds' and 'country and mountains'."

Without saying much, Liu Hong understood.

Just as Liu Hong was about to speak again, and was about to say the word "execute", a thin young woman walked up to Lu Zhi.

"His Majesty!"

"Ok?"

The ministers, Zhang Rang, and even Liu Hong looked at Xun Yu who was walking up with great surprise.

"Isn't this my palace guard? After Xun Shu, your family are all loyal ministers of the court. You also have something to say?" Liu Hong said in surprise.

Xun Yu nodded, and just when she was about to speak, she suddenly found that her mouth could not move.

At this time, Lu Zhi snorted coldly and resumed his movement. However, he did not expect that just as Xun Yu was about to speak, Zhang Rang on the stage moved his fingers slightly.

Suddenly feeling a huge force coming at him, Xun Yu fell to his knees, even having difficulty breathing.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly," Zhang Rang said. "Which is more important, a commoner or the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Hong nodded slightly.

But at this moment, a loud laugh was heard.

"Hahahaha!"

This laugh actually made Zhang Rang groan and step back.

He immediately looked outside the hall with sharp eyes.

Everyone looked back and saw a burly general walking in from the outer hall.

"Huh? It's General He!" Liu Hong was delighted.

"Your Majesty, I am late because my carriage was damaged on the road. Please forgive me." He Jin said with a bow.

"What do you mean, General? It's just a little late. It's okay. I will pardon you." Liu Hong waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Jin slowly straightened up, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Rang with a gaze as mighty as a tiger or wolf, then he narrowed his gaze and looked at Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, I think that eunuchs should not be involved in this morning court report."

"It's okay to let my father go. He is my close servant and will not harm me." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Gong, "Oh~ General, you are talking about Zhang Gong, right? Then Zhang Gong, you can leave now."

Zhang Gong glanced at He Jin with a hint of fear in his eyes. He quickly stood up, saluted the emperor, and then left the hall.

Then He Jin looked at Xun Yu again and said, "Xun's little girl, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xun Yu, who was saved by He Jin's laughter, stood up slowly, panting. She suddenly found that all the civil and military officials, as well as dignitaries like He Jin and Zhang Rang were looking at her.

In the invisible air, it seemed as if thousands of swords and guns were fighting.

She slowly raised her sleeves, with no fear in her eyes, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, I believe that Liu Zhaoqing is not guilty."

"Not only is he innocent, but...he has also made great contributions."

"great merit?"

While Liu Hong was puzzled, Xun Yu reached out from his sleeve and took out a piece of black wood.

"Your Majesty, please look at this."

Liu Hong was puzzled again: "What is this?"

Even Zhang Rang and He Jin didn't understand what it was, but some veteran civil officials nearby were shocked after staring at it for a while.

Lu Zhi, who was closest to him, said, "This is the 'Hetu'."

"The River Map? What is the River Map?"

"The River Map is the lifeline of the world. Whenever the Yellow River Map appears in the world, it represents a huge change that will happen in one day." Lu Zhi said.

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked, Zhang Rang smiled, and Liu Hong broke out in a cold sweat.

This connected to what was said before, Liu Hong immediately asked: "Could it be that this river map was also found from Liu Zhaoqing?"

"Yes." Xun Yu nodded.

Then he said, "Your Majesty! Please look at the River Map."

"Since it symbolizes great changes, what's so good about it?" Zhang Rang said calmly.

At this time, this morning court session was not only about determining Liu Zhaoqing's crime of "treason", but also a struggle between Zhang Rang, He Jin and the officials.

He Jin snorted coldly: "Zhang Rang, I am presenting something to Your Majesty, are you going to withhold it without your permission?"

Zhang Rang said nothing.

At He Jin's signal, a minor official took the River Map from Xun Yu and came to Liu Hong.

After Liu Hong took it, he looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Your Majesty, please put the River Map in front of the fire." Xun Yu said.

Liu Hong did as he was told, and then he exclaimed, "There is a word on this river map."

"It seems to be... 'fire'?"

Suddenly, several civil servants in the court were stunned for a moment, then looked shocked.

Lu Zhi was also stunned for a moment, and at this time, Cai Yong ran behind Lu Zhi, fell to the ground, burst into tears, and shouted loudly.

"The River Map emerged from the disaster, fire flourishes more than water, and good times will come after bad times. Your Majesty! This is an auspicious sign! It means that the Han Dynasty will prosper again, just like during the reign of Emperor Guangwu!"

"What? The River Map was revealed, and the Han Dynasty rose?" Liu Hong was surprised for a moment, and then he immediately became ecstatic, "Will I be the same as Emperor Guangwu?!"

"The Han Dynasty will rise!"

"The Han Dynasty will rise!"

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were delighted and cheered loudly.

Chapter 3.6: Ode to CoalK

At noon, the ministers of the court came out of the palace one after another.

Important court officials who are rarely seen on ordinary days seem to come out one after another at this time, and if each of them is taken out individually, his name and position can make Luoyang and even the world tremble.

However, although they have different positions and ages, almost every one of these important court officials now has a happy look on their face.

Although the morning court sessions were not held frequently, the ministers present had already stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony no less than a hundred times.

I am not happy because it is my first time attending court, nor am I happy because I see Your Majesty again.

What made the ministers so happy was the results of this morning court session.

"Bo Shen, I didn't expect that this morning court session would last from sunrise to noon." Grand Tutor Yuan Wei stroked his white beard and sighed to Zhang Wen beside him.

"Isn't it three years since we last had such a debate?"

"Yes." Zhang Wen was also very happy and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that a small commoner could cause such a big commotion."

"The common people are not important." Yuan Wei smiled, "The rise of the Han Dynasty is a good omen."

"Bo Ji is nearly sixty years old, and he is so excited. Of course, I can't help but be happy too."

"Lord Cai has been wandering outside for more than 20 years before returning to the court. He has witnessed such a happy event. We are afraid that he will suddenly fall ill while crying. We are worried about him."

Zhang Wen and Zhao Qian, who came nearby, nodded in agreement and said with a smile.

The reason why this morning court session lasted so long was because of the open fighting between the Ten Attendants and He Jin in the court caused by Liu Zhaoqing's crime of treason.

The bureaucrats who were partial to these two people and some upright scholars in the Han court also took this opportunity to make a fuss about the River Map.

This also allowed these aristocratic families to finally gain a voice in the court controlled by the Ten Eunuchs and the foreign relative He Jin, which was not strong, but at least independent.

As for the matter of "the appearance of the River Map and the rise of the Han Dynasty", important officials such as Yuan Wei and Zhao Qian already had plans in mind and were determined to publicize it widely.

Although it cannot cause too much interference to the power of the Ten Eunuchs and the foreign relatives, it can at least make those who are eyeing the power covetously put their minds aside, and prevent some ministers in the court who are still wavering in their positions from quickly turning to the foreign relatives or even the eunuchs.

Moreover, it might also make those royal family members who were granted fiefdoms outside the capital feel like serving the king and saving the country, instead of just staying in a corner or even harboring ulterior motives.

Whether it was the prophecy of "the rise of the Han Dynasty" or "making the power of the aristocratic families in the court more firm", these two results from this morning court session were great joy for the ministers.

As for Liu Zhaoqing, not many people care about him.

His role has been played and played completely.

The scholar-officials also have their own interests. It is impossible for them to offend the emperor or create unnecessary conflicts with eunuchs and relatives for the sake of the lives of common people.

Unless Liu Zhaoqing can prove that he has other political value besides contributing the River Map.

Just because not many people care doesn’t mean no one cares.

The Palace Guard Xun Yu was the only minister who still cared about Liu Zhaoqing's life.

With a calm expression, Xun Yu walked quickly forward. Because he was thinking about something, he did not notice Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song talking to each other in front of him.

After she passed by, Huangfu Song noticed her and immediately said, "Isn't this Wen Ruo? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xun Yu came back to his senses, stopped and saw Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Xun Yu greets Mr. Lu and General Huangfu."

"Wen Ruo really showed his elegance in the hall just now. He was almost like the 'divine king' of the past." Huangfu Song stroked his beard and praised.

Xun Yu bowed his head and thanked him humbly.

"Zi Gan, why don't you say something? Your knowledge and literary talent are a thousand times better than that of a warrior like me." Huangfu Song said to Lu Zhi who was still silent.

Lu Zhi looked at Xun Yu and nodded slightly: "You can go now. If you have anything, come to my house to find me."

"Leave? Where to? Didn't we say that 'The River Map will bring about the rise of the Han Dynasty' and we should drink together to celebrate? Zi Gan, you often praise the talent of this little Wen Ruozhi, so why don't you invite her..." Huangfu Song asked doubtfully.

"She has urgent business."

"Urgent?"

Lu Zhi did not explain, and Xun Yu hurried out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, Xun Yu handed the tablet to the old servant who was waiting for him.

"Miss, the horse is ready. Do you want to go home and change out of your official uniform first?" the old servant asked after taking the tablet.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Go home and tell Lu Hong and Zhao Qing that they are fine today, and prepare a generous gift. I will visit Mr. Lu later or tomorrow after I come back."

"Mr. Lu? The great scholar Lu Zhi?" The old servant was surprised. He didn't know why the young lady suddenly wanted to visit Lu Zhi, but before he could ask, he saw Xun Yu riding away.

Xun Yu headed towards the east of Luoyang City. Although he could not drive fast on the highway, he could still see Liu Zhaoqing quickly at this speed.

But halfway through, a woman with a single ponytail came out.

"Ms. Xun."

"Zhang County Official." Xun Yu saw Zhang Liao and immediately said, "Don't panic, Zhao Qing is fine for now. Come with me to the death row and you will see him."

Zhang Liao, who had just learned the big news of the day from Lu Hong in Xun Yu's mansion, nodded immediately.

Then the two of them came to the entrance of the death row.

"stop!"

But the death row that they could enter yesterday was not allowed today, and the two were stopped directly.

Upon asking, I found out that it was the Ten Eunuchs who issued an order strictly prohibiting anyone from visiting Liu Zhaoqing.

Xun Yu's face darkened slightly. She had expected the Ten Attendants to take action early, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

After pacing for a while, Xun Yu asked, "I can't go in, but my letter should be OK, right?"

The guards looked at each other. Their superiors only said that people were not allowed to enter, but they did not say that letters were not allowed.

And looking at Xun Yu's official uniform which he had not changed into yet, they both felt that it would be better not to offend him.

After getting permission, Xun Yu immediately asked Zhang Liao to ride his horse to buy pen and ink. As soon as the pen and ink arrived, Xun Yu spread paper on the ground and began to write down what happened in the court today and the situation faced by Liu Zhaoqing on the paper.

Zhang Liao and the soldiers beside her were watching the whole process, so when she folded the paper, the soldiers didn't need to check it again.

This was indeed just an ordinary letter, with no code or other hidden information.

"I have to hand this letter to the prison chief. As for whether it can be delivered, I can't guarantee it." The soldier said to be on the safe side.

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude.
