The essence of politics as understood by Wu Yi is transaction.

This is what his family elders have told him since he was young.

Because Wu Yi has been immersed in this kind of thinking since he was a child, his style as an adult all shows this characteristic.

And the transactions he made in the past where everyone got what he needed also brought him considerable benefits.

The style of daring to speculate and being good at trading is not only shared by Wu Yi, it can be said that most people from noble families in the world have this style, so we cannot judge whether Wu Yi is good or bad based on this.

Decades of style have made Wu Yi develop an instinctive habit.

He knew that it was necessary for him to take action to protect Deng Xian, but he also knew that under the circumstances where Fa Miao arrested Deng Xian openly and openly today, Deng Xian would definitely be severely punished.

It's just that there are many types of severe punishment, and even if Deng Xian gives up the death penalty, he may not necessarily die.

The key lies in what kind of chips he can bring up.

Wu Yi believed that the bargaining chips he had offered so far were enough to impress Mi Yang, who was sitting in front of him.

With his prestige and status, if he obeys Mi Yang's orders in Liangzhou from now on, then who else in Liangzhou can restrain Mi Yang?

I don't think any man can resist such temptation.

Wu Yi was right, and the deal he proposed successfully impressed Mi Yang.

At this point, Mi Yang realized that Wu Yi asked to see him today just to make a deal with him.

Mi Yang knew why Wu Yi insisted on saving Deng Xian's life.

It has been several years since he traveled back to this world, and with the memories of his previous life, Mi Yang's thoughts have changed a lot.

Perhaps from the perspective of future generations, Deng Xian must be executed for committing a capital crime.

Even Wu Yi's private deal to save Deng Xian's life is considered a crime, but even if we don't mention the tradition of keeping relatives apart, we can say that today's social system is a feudal society.

In feudal society, Wu Yi's behavior was completely normal.

If Mi Yang wants to make a difference in the current world, he must integrate into the current world and can no longer handle things completely from the perspective of a modern person.

Therefore, Mi Yang understood Wu Yi's behavior, and he was even moved by the bargaining chip proposed by Wu Yi.

After thinking carefully, Mi Yang slowly shook his head under Wu Yi's gaze.

Seeing Mi Yang's actions, Wu Yi couldn't help but become anxious.

He didn't understand why Mi Yang refused.

With Mi Yang's status and power, he wanted to save Deng Xian's life with just one sentence.

Moreover, he did not ask Mi Yang to forgive Deng Xian, but only wanted to save his life. Wu Yi thought that the request he made was already very low.

Coupled with the bargaining chip he proposed, how could Mi Yang refuse him?

Wu Yi, who was in a hurry, thought of continuing to step forward to persuade Mi Yang.

But his move was blocked by Ding Feng's angry look behind Mi Yang.

Seeing Ding Feng glaring at him, Wu Yi realized belatedly that his behavior just now was a bit out of line.

He quickly stopped in his tracks.

However, even though he stopped in his tracks, Wu Yi still felt anxious in his heart.

In desperation, Wu Yi blurted out: "Uncle Mu, if you have any dissatisfaction, just ask it."

Wu Yi now thinks that Mi Yang rejected him because he didn't have enough leverage.

Wu Yi misunderstood Mi Yang.

If what Mi Yang did before was entirely to satisfy his personal desire for power, then the chips proposed by Wu Yi would definitely make Mi Yang agree to the deal.

But Mi Yang's original intention was not like this.

Seeing the anxious look on Wu Yi's face in front of her, Mi Yang stood up and walked towards Wu Yi actively.

Mi Yang was already a head taller than Wu Yi, and now it was Wu Yi who was seeking help from Mi Yang.

So when Wu Yi saw Mi Yang walking towards him and saw the serious expression on Mi Yang's face, Wu Yi couldn't help but be forced to take a few steps back by the aura displayed by Mi Yang.

After Mi Yang noticed this, he stopped him in time and did not continue to approach Wu Yi.

Just like this, in the entire hall, the two Han ministers with the highest status in Liangzhou looked at each other a few steps apart.

After looking at each other for a while, Mi Yang asked Wu Yi: "I'm not surprised by what Mr. Wu asked for today.

If Deng Xian committed other crimes, I would consider Duke Wu's request, but the crime Deng Xian committed today is, at least to me, an unpardonable crime."

When Mi Yang loudly said the words "unforgivable sin", Wu Yi's face showed a look of confusion.

"Why?"

Wu Yi really didn't understand Mi Yang's words.

It is true that Deng Xian violated military law, but there are many examples of generals who committed more serious crimes than Deng Xian being pardoned in the past. Since there is precedent, why can't Mi Yang do such a thing.

Facing Wu Yi's doubts, Mi Yang chuckled lightly, and asked Wu Yi: "Does Mr. Wu know what happened in the camp outside the city today?"

Seeing Mi Yang asking this question, Wu Yi was even more confused.

Mi Yang told Wu Yi about Wei Yan's efforts to quell the rebellion.

After Wu Yi heard this, the look of confusion on his face instantly turned into a look of shock.

Wu Yi is also a general leading troops. Of course, if this matter is not handled well, how harmful it will be.

After Wu Yi's face showed a look of shock, Mi Yang put her hands behind her hands and continued to say to Wu Yi:

“The shortcomings of my military state are that the formation of cliques and the destruction of laws and chaos are the first.

Perhaps Wu Gong thought that the crime Deng Xian committed was just a crime of corruption, which did not harm anyone's life, nor did it harm the country of the Han Dynasty, so he could seek forgiveness.

Wu Gong may have thought that everyone is interested in profit, so Deng Xian's corruption behavior is human nature.

But Wu Gong ignored one point. If someone is involved in corruption, they will form cliques. If they form cliques for a lifetime, military laws and regulations will be ignored.

Soldiers are also deadly weapons. If there is no discipline and discipline, great disaster will surely happen in the future.

Deng Xian was a military commander in Hanzhong, but he knew the law and broke the law, which is already an extra level of crime.

More importantly, his involvement in condoning corruption in the military has quietly shaken the foundation of our military.

The chaos among dozens of rebel generals in the camp today is the best proof.

With my power, I can spare Deng Xian's life. With my power, I can also completely pardon Deng Xian.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With my current prestige, if I want to block Yuyou's mouth, I can only find some reasons.

But if I show leniency to Deng Xian, everyone will be silent, but the desire to do harm will quietly grow.

Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?

If we don't kill a single Deng Xian today, the generals will be more willing to take chances. In the future, there will be more Deng Xians hiding in the army, using the foundation of our army to satisfy their selfish desires.

In addition to military positions, most of the generals in the army also hold political positions. They are not afraid of strict military laws. Will they still be afraid of national laws in the future?

Once corruption prevails in Liangzhou's military and civil affairs, and the generals of the country are not the country, and the generals are not the army, I will be Liangzhou's eternal sinner.

His Majesty once warned me when he left that day: I am the only one who can control the chaos in Liangzhou.

I want Liangzhou to be in great order, but not to cause chaos in Liangzhou, so Deng Xian must die."

After telling Wu Yi all his thoughts, Mi Yang finally sentenced Deng Xian to death.

There is no room for maneuver.

Over the past few years, Mi Yang's ideas have become very similar to those of people in the current world, but this does not mean that he has completely forgotten everything about future generations.

From the perspective of the current world, accepting Wu Yi's deal would be the most beneficial to him.

But Mi Yang, who has the experience of later generations, would not agree to this deal with Wu Yi.

After Wu Yi listened to Mi Yang's words, especially after knowing Mi Yang's rock-solid attitude, he could only helplessly close his eyes.

He remembered the promise he had just made to Deng Xian. He wanted to fulfill his promise, but now he really had no choice.

It's not that he doesn't have better bargaining chips, but in Mi Yang's mind, killing Deng Xian is not something that can be used to make a deal.

This is perhaps the biggest difference between Mi Yang and the carnivores of today.

Looking up at Liang Zhoumu, who was decisive and keen in front of him, the disappointment on Wu Yi's face was clearly visible.

However, Wu Yi was not a messy person, nor was he someone who would threaten Mi Yang. Wu Yi, who was disappointed, bowed to Mi Yang in a daze, and then left.

But just as Wu Yi turned around, Mi Yang softly called Wu Yi.

After being stopped by Mi Yang, Wu Yi paused.

He originally thought that Mi Yang called him to say something to appease him, but Mi Yang's next words made Wu Yi break into a cold sweat.

"The scholars in Yizhou praised Duke Wu for his high energy, universal love for all, and his benevolence."

"It's just that if I remember correctly, when His Majesty heard these words, he once said with emotion: "Cherish the universal love."

I hope Duke Wu will take these words as a warning when he returns home."
