After the news that the palace wanted to investigate Han Zhongye reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Liang rubbed his temples with a headache.

The Northern Expedition is imminent, and I am preparing to go to Hanzhong, so there are too many things to arrange as soon as possible.

Hanzhong has always believed in Ma Yan, but he didn't expect to provoke that kid at this juncture.

The Hanzhong arsenal was newly established, and most of the weapons in it were actually sent over and sealed by Jincheng.

Hanzhong Mansion asked Hanzhong Metallurgical to build weapons, but Ma Jian knew what he wanted, so he took precautions and wanted to prepare as soon as possible.

It's just that Ma Jian and Jiang Bin are still too anxious.

Zhuge Liang smiled a little bitterly, now that kid's identity has long been different, where is he still willing to suffer? I can also make him bow his head slightly.

Withdrawing five hundred elite soldiers from Nanzhong has already made him suffer a dark loss, tying his hands and feet for a while, although he endured this breath, but his heart is not going well, it should be.

This Zhuye Prison only got up because of Nanxiang, but this kind of thing happened when his heart was not going well, and it was strange that he didn't jump his feet.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang ordered his subordinates, "Go, invite Jiang to join the army." ”

Jiang Wan came over quickly, "Prime Minister, you are looking for an official, but you have something to order?" ”

"Gongyan, you sit down first, there is something, I have to talk to you first."

Zhuge Liang's face was a little tired, and he pointed to his seat and asked Jiang Wan to sit down first.

"I don't know what the prime minister wants to say to Wan?"

After Jiang Wan sat down, he asked.

"Your eldest man may have provoked that kid."

"What does the prime minister mean, the lower officials don't understand."

Jiang Wan was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a while.

Isn't his own eldest in Hanzhong?

can make the prime minister call "that kid", Feng Junhou is the only one in the world, but Feng Junhou, isn't he in Yueshan?

"It's your eldest man who provoked Feng Mingwen." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, "That kid once commissioned Hanzhongye to build a batch of weapons. I heard that the process of building those weapons is extremely cumbersome, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

"As you know, last year I set up a new arsenal in Hanzhong for the Northern Expedition. Youchang (Ma Tan) once approached Hanzhongye and wanted to prepare for building weapons in Hanzhong earlier. ”

"I estimate that Hanzhongye delayed the matter of that kid entrusting the creation of weapons for the sake of the arsenal, and your family's eldest man is involved in nine times out of ten."

Although the prime minister said something vaguely, Jiang Wan still understood, and he had a toothache at the moment.

Feng Junhou, how to say it, when he is generous, he is indeed generous, and he doesn't blink when he is stingy, but when he is stingy, it is normal for him to repay him, and his temperament is very eccentric.

"What does Feng Junhou say?"

Jiang Wan asked with luck.

"He wants to hold Hanzhongye accountable."

Understood, it seems that this is really messing with the ghost king.

In the place where evil ghosts were born and demons were rampant, what did the eldest man of his own family think when he provoked King Feng?

Jiang Wan let out a long sigh, "Can Wan ask, what is the responsibility of this big man?" ”

Zhuge Liang understood Jiang Wan's thoughts, and immediately said, "Gongyan don't worry, this crime is actually not a big one, it's just that there are some problems with the weapons customized by the Yue Taishou Mansion in private." ”

"And these weapons were originally only commissioned by Feng Mingwen to his family's subordinates in private, and they are not standard weapons in the army, so if you really want to talk about it, it is not a big deal."

Jiang Wan listened and nodded, "That's fine." Since it's not a big crime, it's good to let Da Lang suffer a little. ”

"Why did Gongyan say this?" Zhuge Liang originally had the intention of persuading Jiang Wan, but he didn't expect to hear this, so he asked in some surprise.

"The prime minister doesn't know, although Da Lang has been reading the scriptures for a long time, but he is too square, he doesn't know how to change, and he thinks too highly of himself and doesn't know how to be pragmatic. Last time, Wan asked him to go to Hanzhongye to work, but he still thought that it was a position in the inner palace, and it was not the right way. ”

"I thought it was because I felt that the arsenal was a state affair, and the matter entrusted by Feng Junhou was a private matter, so I made a mistake."

"But he didn't know that the arsenal was a state affair, and the prime minister had his own arrangements, so before the prime minister explicitly ordered the requisition of Hanzhongye, Hanzhongye operated and had his own palace dispatch, and he did this to lose the rules."

"So this time, it's better to let him suffer some losses, remember it for a long time, and sharpen his temperament, so as not to suffer big losses in the future."

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praise, "Gongyan's insight is really rare for anyone to match!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he asked with a smile, "It's just that Gongyan is not afraid of that kid's ruthlessness?" ”

Jiang Wan smiled confidently, "Although Feng Junhou is not informal, he has never lost a big festival. Although Da Lang was at fault, but it was for the sake of state affairs, even if Feng Junhou blamed, he would not be unforgiving. ”

"Moreover, Wan and Feng Junhou also have a bit of friendship, Feng Junhou looks at Wan's face, at most, it is to make Da Lang suffer some hardships, it should not be okay."

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't mind this matter, Zhuge Liang finally put his mind at ease, otherwise one is his right hand and possible successor, and the other is the pillar of the country he will leave to His Majesty in the future, and it is really difficult to deal with the contradictions.

So he couldn't help but praise, "It's still Gongyan elegant, unlike that kid, who can't afford to lose anything." ”

"The prime minister has won the award." Jiang Wan said modestly, and asked with some hesitation, "It's just the prime minister, if the Hanzhong arsenal does not requisition Hanzhong Metallurgical, then how can the weapon be built?" ”

"I was negligent in this matter and didn't tell you in advance. I plan to enter Hanzhong, so the Jincheng side will be the supervisor, the Zhuye supervisor, and most of the craftsmen will be transferred to the Hanzhong arsenal to form an arsenal of their own, with Pu Yuan as the master craftsman. ”

Zhuge Liang explained.

Hanzhongye is located in Nanxiang, the land of Nanxiang, and it is best not to touch it easily.

Now that the general has Pu Yuan, and there is a new process for weapon building, why do you need to make another move to requisition Hanzhongye?

"The prime minister wants to enter Hanzhong?"

Jiang Wan was taken aback.

"yes. I'm going to tell you about this in the next few days. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "I've already written the chapters, Gongyan might as well help me take a look, is there anything else to revise here?" ”

Jiang Wan knew that the prime minister had the intention of going north, but he never knew when the prime minister would go north, and now when he heard the exact news, although he was taken aback at first, he was able to quickly accept the facts.

In February of the fifth year of Jianxing, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was on the table.

"Chen Liang said: Feng Yong, the chief of the former Yue Dynasty, had countermeasures to the ministers, and there was a saying: The first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, and today the next three points, Yizhou is tired, and this sincerity is in danger of survival, and the minister thinks so......"

As soon as the table came out, Mo said that it was the ministers of the court, but Liu Chan was also a little frightened, "Father Xiang's southern expedition to the barren land, the journey is difficult, and he has not yet settled down, and now he is going to the northern expedition, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work." ”

"It's better to rest in Jincheng for two or three more years, and at the same time let me learn how to handle government affairs more time."

"The minister was entrusted by the first emperor to be lonely, and he did not slack off at night. Now the south has been flat, but there is no internal worries, these years in Shu is abundant, and there is no shortage of grain and grass. ”

"The only thing to worry about is that the first emperor gathered the elite of the Quartet back then, and he is getting old day by day, if he delays it for a while, I am afraid that no one can take on the big responsibility. Why don't you beg for thieves at this time and restore the Central Plains?

"The prince and nobleman in the palace, the year before last, gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, His Majesty has been a father for more than a year, and he is no longer the young man of the year, it's time to learn to handle government affairs."

Liu Chan doesn't like to read, and he is lazy by nature, he likes to have fun, and he used to even have to be under the control of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the palace, and he didn't have any freedom, so he naturally wanted to be pro-government and get the right.

But in the past three years, there have been a lot of entries in the palace, and the prime minister has no intention of confiscating these items.

Anyway, even if it is pro-government, as long as the prime minister is still in the prime minister, it is the prime minister who is really in charge, so what is the difference between it and not being pro-government?

Hearing that his father asked him to learn how to handle government affairs, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, "I know! The revival of the Han family, there is Lao Xiangfu. ”

Now that there are no details in political affairs, it is decided by the prime minister, even if some of the ministers of the court have objections, but when they see that the Son of Heaven has said this, they have to be silent.

After retiring from the court, Liu Chan returned to the harem, but before he sat down, he only heard the report from the chamberlain: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has an important matter to report." ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he was a little surprised, "Isn't it that my father has other thoughts about the Northern Expedition?" ”

Immediately asked people to come in.

Seeing the prime minister with gray temples walking in, Liu Chan hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped him to sit down, and said happily, "Didn't Father Xiang change his mind and want to recuperate in Jincheng for a while longer?" ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Adou's happy appearance didn't look like a fake, and his heart was warm, "Your Majesty has tormented the old minister, how can there be a reason for the minister to sit and Your Majesty to stand, Your Majesty, please sit first." ”

Liu Chan said with a smile, "In the Han Dynasty, when the prime minister met the emperor, the emperor still had to stand up to show courtesy. What's more, the father not only has the position of prime minister now, but also Zen was entrusted by the emperor to be like his father. So why should I stand and listen to the training? ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stood up, "If Your Majesty is standing, the old minister will not dare to sit down." ”

"Okay, Father, sit down first, I'll sit down." After Liu Chan sat down, he retreated left and right, and then asked, "I don't know what is important for my father, I need to talk to Zen Mi alone?" ”

"Your Majesty, the things set by the court will not be easily changed. But there are some things that Your Majesty must know before the minister is far away from Your Majesty. Before the minister left, the ministers had already been arranged, but there were only four people, and the ministers had not yet mentioned them. ”

"But the four who are leading the army outside?"

Liu Chan asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, "Your Majesty is smart, Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, is brave and brave, after the minister arrives in Hanzhong, he wants to accept this person into the mansion and assist the ministers in the Northern Expedition, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"The Northern Expedition is all about the father, and there is no need to talk to Zen."

"Yongan Chen arrives, Nanzhong Li Hui, they are all loyal and brave people, with the two of them, Yongan and Nanzhong are worry-free. Only the central capital protects Li Yan, and His Majesty must be careful. ”

"Li Zhongduhu?" Liu Chan was taken aback, "This person is also a minister of the first emperor Tuogu, why should Father Xiang ask Chan to be careful about him?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed, "I really don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, after the former ministers pacified Nanzhong, all the ministers came to congratulate, and Li Yan was among them." In addition to words of celebration, his letter was full of praise. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, looked around again, and then said softly, "In the end, he persuaded his ministers to accept Jiuxi and enter the title of king......"

When Liu Chan heard this, he shuddered suddenly!

Accept Jiuxi, enter the lord and call the king?

The last one to do this was Cao Cao, right?

Is this going to make me learn from the Duke of Shanyang County (Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty)?

Thinking of this, Liu Chan suddenly wanted to stand up, but his legs were trembling, and he was only halfway up to stand, and then he sat down weakly, he had to look at Zhuge Liang in a panic, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Father......"

Then his lips turned white and trembled, but he could no longer speak.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, after getting this letter, I can't wait to face Li Yan and reprimand him for his absurd words. It's just that I thought that this person was also a person who was entrusted by the first emperor and guarded the dangerous place of Yong'an for a long time, so for the sake of the overall situation, the minister could only write a letter to refute it, and then thought of transferring him to leave Yong'an and let him go to the land of Jiangzhou. ”

When Liu Chan heard this, his flustered mood calmed down a little, he glanced at Zhuge Liang gratefully, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then said hatefully, "Li Yan is really rebellious!" ”

"Your Majesty, Li Yan went to Jiangzhou and built a big city, wanting to cut the mountains and rivers, turn Jiangzhou into a land surrounded by water in all directions, and want to cut the land of five counties into a state, and take up the history of assassination."

When Liu Chan heard this, he almost jumped up, "What's the difference between this move and rebellion?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Li Yan is the first emperor to trust the lonely person, won the hope of everyone, although there is a rebellious act, but the intention of rebellion has not yet been exposed in front of people. If you add guilt for no reason, I am afraid that you will lose people's hope. ”

"What then?" Liu Chan said hurriedly, "Since Father Xiang knows that Li Yan has a bad heart, why should he leave me at this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister knows that Li Yan has a bad heart, so he took advantage of the Northern Expedition to leave Jincheng and make Li Yan think he is successful. Only when he makes a mistake will His Majesty have a chance to punish him. ”

"What if...... In case he takes the chance...... Take the opportunity to learn what about Huang Yuan? ”

Liu Chan said in a panic.

When the first emperor was seriously ill, Zhuge Liang had left Jincheng to visit Yong'an, and Liu Chan, who was still the prince at the time, stayed in Jincheng.

"Your Majesty is worry-free. A few days ago, the minister had already drawn a part of the Jiangzhou soldiers to Yong'an, which belonged to Chen Zhi's command. Chen Zhi and Li Hui are both loyal and brave people, one of them is in the east and the other is in the south. Jiangzhou was sandwiched between the two, and Li Yanding did not dare to rebel easily. ”

"Jincheng has General Zhao Lao to guard, Guan Xing Zhang Bao has his father's brave wind, General Zhao Lao has these two people as his left and right hands, Jincheng can be worry-free. Shu County Taishou Yang Hong was able to quell the rebellion of Huang Yuan back then, if there is really a change in elbows and armpits, His Majesty can summon and ask him. ”

"Yue Chang Shi Feng Yong, very good at skillful change, have the wisdom of knowing people, and have the ability to command the army, the old minister last year gave him the right to recruit the three counties of Yue, and his command Wang Xun, Huang Chong, Zhang Wei, Jufu, all have talents. If something really happens, you can urgently call him back with his troops. ”

"The first emperor simply promoted many good ministers to leave His Majesty, but most of them were people who followed the first emperor in the early years, and they were talented in Shu, but now they are not credible. Only this son is a rare figure in recent years, and I hope Your Majesty will be close to him. ”

When Liu Chan heard General Zhao first, his heart was at ease.

Back then, Zhao Yun rescued him from danger twice, and he had an inexplicable trust in Zhao Yun, only feeling that with Zhao Yun here, everything would be safe.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang actually treated Feng Yong as a secret chess piece and arranged it outside, his heart finally settled down.

"That Feng Mingwen, Zen will be more close. Father's words, Zen in mind! Xiangfu not only has to prepare for the Northern Expedition, but also has to worry about Zen, it is really hard, please Xiangfu to worship Zen! ”

After speaking, Liu Chan got up and bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang.
