Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 586: The Imperial Seal in Exchange for the Position of General
Zhang Sui’s words made Yan Xiang collapse instantly.

He held the kettle in his hand, staring at Yuan Shu's wide-open eyes, watching Yuan Shu die with his eyes open.

After shivering for a while, Yan Xiang began to cry like a baby.

The surrendered generals such as Liu Fu also fell silent at this time.

No matter what, they were all Yuan Shu's former ministers, and they had once shared glory with Yuan Shu.

But I never expected that this glorious period would last so short.

Zhang Sui looked down at Yuan Shu's body and shook his head.

The Yuan family, which had three officials in four generations, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

The brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu clearly had the most powerful network of contacts at the end of the Han Dynasty and once became the pinnacle of the princes.

But in the end, they all killed themselves.

Yuan Shao died at the hands of his own nephew Gao Gan.

Before his death, Yuan Shu wanted to drink honey water but was not allowed to do so.

It's really pitiful and ridiculous.

Zhang Sui called over a few of his personal soldiers and searched Yuan Shu's body.

Finally, the imperial seal and the seal of the governor of Yangzhou were found on Yuan Shu's body.

When everyone saw the imperial seal, their originally sad emotions were instantly replaced by excitement and delight.

Especially the many personal soldiers, their breathing became rapid.

As powerful people in Changshan County, they not only want to make achievements, but also want to find the master of the world, become his loyal subjects, and use the benevolence and righteousness of the master to pacify the chaotic world.

Now, the imperial seal is in our hands.

Even Yan Xiang, who was crying, stopped crying at this time and stared at Zhang Sui.

Today, Zhang Sui occupies Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, and most of Yangzhou.

Although legally speaking, he is not qualified to be emperor.

However, in terms of strength, he already has it.

Moreover, he is so young and energetic, how could he not want to become emperor?

Zhang Sui faced everyone's gaze and sighed.

If he could travel back in time, he would draw a few graffiti, put a stamp on it, and then compare it with the Mona Lisa portrait to let the world judge its value!
Just Mona Lisa, a group of Western soft-kneed people often clamor for comparison.

But I never thought about it, am I worthy of it?

But despite saying so, Zhang Sui still threw the imperial seal to Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, immediately send it to military advisor Chen Gong and ask him to write a letter to Xudu and send the imperial seal to the emperor."

"Tell the emperor that I want the position of general!"

"Like my father-in-law Yuan Gong was when he was alive."

"Don't make me rob."

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui in shock.

This lord actually gave away the imperial seal!

Are you crazy?

Liu Fu hurried forward and said excitedly: "My lord, do you know what the imperial seal means? You actually gave it away! Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were almost crazy for this imperial seal, and Sun Jian died for it--"

Zhang Sui laughed, patted Liu Fu on the shoulder, glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, in the face of symbolic meaning, strength always dominates!"

"With my current strength, some things are best left to happen naturally."

"I'm still young, can't I wait?"

"I can't, but my descendants can wait."

"You guys, follow me, there are plenty of opportunities."

"Follow me and enjoy the delicious food and drinks. Even if we are not as good as others in symbolic terms, in reality, I will never forget your contributions and will bring you extraordinary enjoyment."

"Don't argue over something that is meaningless like an ignorant little person."

"With the position of general and the power of my father-in-law to establish a government, you can follow me in the future. You can earn merits with your own abilities and exchange them for official positions. We don't have to bother to submit petitions to the emperor all the time."

"The emperor is far away, how can I, the future general, know your abilities as well as I do?" Zhang Sui jumped on his horse and pointed to his head and said, "As long as I am still clear-headed, your achievements will not be forgotten."

"Liu Yuanying, you are responsible for handling Yuan Shu's remains."

"Although he has been a mess in the past few years, he is still a prince after all. Give him a proper burial!"

Liu Yuanying is Liu Fu.

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, everyone mounted their horses without saying anything else.

Lu Su rushed to the palace holding the imperial seal.

Liu Fu personally carried Yuan Shu's body away.

Zhang Sui took the others away and rushed to the palace.

As the commander-in-chief, Chen Deng was standing at the gate of the imperial palace dealing with matters relating to the capture of Shouchun: dealing with corpses, comforting the common people, comforting the noble families of Shouchun, arresting Yuan Shu's family members, and dealing with the imperial concubines.

Zhang Sui and his men arrived, and Chen Deng hurriedly came to greet them. He bowed solemnly to Zhang Sui and said, "My lord, you can clearly understand the usefulness of the imperial seal. I admire you very much."

"Although the lord is young, his mind is incomparable to ours."

"I have somewhat disrespected you before, my lord. Please forgive me."

Zhang Sui smiled noncommittally and said, "Yuanlong, I thought of something on my way here just now."

Chen Deng looked at Zhang Sui in confusion.

Zhang Sui said, "I want to tell Sun Ce of Jiangdong about my capture of Shouchun. What do you think?"

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, then smiled strangely and said, "I heard that Sun Ce's health has not been very good recently, and his childhood friend Zhou Yu was sent by him to Chaisang County as a captain. This means that he has prepared for his funeral."

"But, the news of his death never came."

"My Lord, this move is extremely vicious, but also very useful."

"I heard that when Sun Ce was young, he visited Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang County, but was not accepted. Sun Ce was always upset about it, and finally killed Lu Kang and got his wish."

"With such a narrow mind, he would have vomited blood and died if he knew Shouchun was captured."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Then you arrange for someone to do this. I will go to the palace first and pick out some beautiful women for you to reward. Then I will go to appease the people."

Zhang Sui called his personal soldiers to enter the palace, and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen a palace in my life. I will feast my eyes today."

Chen Deng looked at Zhang Sui and others going in and felt like laughing.

This look is quite similar to that of Emperor Gaozu when he first entered Xianyang.

However, my lord is more sober than Emperor Gaozu.

And, at this age.

Maybe, the whole world will really change its surname to Zhang.

Chen Deng watched Zhang Sui and others disappear in the palace, then he asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He wrote a letter to Sun Ce on the spot, informing him that Zhang Sui had captured Shouchun and obtained the imperial seal.

Afterwards, Chen Deng recruited a death warrior and asked him to deliver the letter to Qu'a in Wujun as quickly as possible.

Qu'a, Jiangdong.

In the courtyard at the entrance of the Sun family mansion, Sun Quan was sitting at a desk handling official business.

An old man in his fifties, dressed in brocade clothes, was instructing him.

Mrs. Wu sat at the octagonal table, embroidering and watching Sun Quan listening to the lecture with a smile.

Just then, a figure walked in quickly.

It was Sun Ce.

Sun Ce seems to be in good spirits today.

Although the left side of his face was still wrapped in cloth with blood on it, there was a smile on his face.

He also held some venison in his hands.

As he walked into the courtyard, Sun Ce said with a smile, "Mother, I said it's okay to go out today. I just went to the mountain to hunt some venison and brought it back. I asked the maids to roast it for us tonight."

The old man who was instructing Sun Quan hurriedly bowed and said, "My Lord!"

Sun Ce hung a deer leg on the old man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Zi Bu, thank you for your hard work. This deer meat is a reward for you!"
