Zhuge Jue's state of sobriety when he wrote his deathbed testament is obviously a characteristic of returning to the light.

Therefore, it is not surprising that after the mind is over and the resourcefulness is exhausted, it is not surprising that he dies instantly.

The Zhuge brothers and sisters were all psychologically prepared, and they cried and mourned when they saw this.

Zhuge Jin was the oldest, and he knew that he couldn't just cry, and there were guests next to him, so after crying for a while, he held back his grief and discussed with Liu Bei: "General, General Jin knows that General Jin is forced by the imperial court law and will have to lead the army to withdraw from Qingzhou after Wusu's death."

However, after all, the place is not peaceful, and the army is still fleeing in all directions, can you ask the general to postpone the army for half a month under the pretext of Anmin? If this can be done, it is both public and private, and Jin can also take care of his father's affairs as soon as possible. ”

In the final analysis, the filial piety and etiquette of the Han Dynasty are too cheating.

Brother Zhuge died of his father, even if he was in a hurry to obey the power, but now after all, it is not a state of direct siege by the rebels, if you want not to fall into the hands of others, it is necessary to stop the spirit for seven days and start the spirit again after the first seven days.

Think about it, the top big families and rich families are all doing seven seven or forty-nine days to seven breaks, and only doing the first seven is already so simple that it can't be more simple.

Seven days later, the coffin will be supported to return to the south and go to his hometown of Langlang Yangdu County for burial.

Fortunately, Langya County and Taishan County are neighboring counties, and Yangdu County is already the northernmost border county of Langya County, so the trip is not too far.

Yangdu County is located in the upper reaches of Yishui, above Linyi and below Mengyin, a typical county town in the valley of Yimeng Mountain. From Fenggao past, it is necessary to pass through the three counties of Pingyang, Mengyin and Feixian. Walk slowly with a carriage to support the coffin, and walk for three days. Counting the funeral, half a month before and after.

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "It will take time to collect the rout of the thief army and appease the people, and it can still be delayed for half a month, so the virtuous nephew can take care of it." ”

Anyway, Liaodong County came to Qingzhou to "eat", in order to save some food from Liaodong.

Helped Qingzhou compatriots defeat so many Yellow Turban Army, what's wrong with eating here for half a month? Shouldn't you be happy and convinced, and eat pot pulp to welcome the king?

Zhuge Jin took care of his father's funeral. Early the next morning, a reliable messenger from the county was sent to send Zhuge Jue's testament to Luoyang.

Because he had to pass through the enemy-occupied area, Liu Bei specially sent Tai Shi Ci to make a cameo appearance as a bodyguard to deliver the letter, not because of how good Tai Shi Ci's martial arts were, but because he now has a low military position, and it is appropriate to do such a trivial matter.

Moreover, Tai Shi Ci was on the run because of the saliva lawsuit that helped Donglai Taishou and Qingzhou Thorn Shi to submit the table, so he is the most proficient in business and the most familiar with the road.

"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver Zhuge Juncheng's testament safely." Tai Shi Ci packed the ticket very confidently, brought three pots of bows and arrows with him, and then rode away.

In addition to sending Tai Shici to bring Zhuge Jue's table, Liu Bei himself of course has to put on another table.

It's just that according to the logic of officialdom, his watch can't be directly submitted to Luoyang, because then it will become a leapfrog to the top of the army, and when he first came to Qingzhou, he was not assigned by the emperor or the general, but by Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou. Now that the battle has been won, there is no excuse to continue the cross-border battle, of course, he can only report to Liu Yu first, and Liu Yu will report to the emperor and the general.

This order must not be wrong, even if the distance between Taishan County and Jixian County is farther than the distance to Luoyang. It's better to go back more and slower than to leave the handle.

This recital, of course, was written by Li Su for Liu Bei, and then handed it over to Zhao Yun, who had just arrived with the rear army, and personally sent it back to Jixian County. But what can be done.

The redundancy of affairs under the rules of the imperial court can be seen.

After the work was completed, Liu Bei stayed near Taishan County to do some work on talent collection, prisoner of war integration, and population relocation.

Seven days later, Liu Bei reorganized thousands of prisoners of war, and gradually moved about 10,000 or 20,000 people who had fled from the defeat on Mount Tai to Beihai and Donglai.

Obviously, at this point, Liu Bei has thoroughly figured out that he helped the imperial court fight back Taishan County, but Taishan County definitely cannot belong to him, so the benefits of staying in Taishan County should be removed as much as possible.

Even according to Li Su's persuasion to him, Liu Bei believed that Beihai County would also be returned to the imperial court, and it was already the limit to be able to leave a Donglai County on the Shandong Peninsula that was mainly mountainous and lacked river and water transportation connections inland.

The reason why Li Su thinks so is because the later Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du in history used troops on the Shandong Peninsula several times, but in the end, he was able to find an excuse and have the strength to entrench for a long time, in fact, it was only a Donglai County.

Because the battle damage of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was not serious, and the living young and strong rebels were all absorbed by Zang Ba Sun Guan and other forces, so the population that Liu Bei got in Taishan County was not large.

The main thing is the wives and children of the people who died in the war that day, and they are not much labor. However, these thousands of widows can be given rations, which will then be distributed to subjects who are soldiers in Liaodong or who have performed well in the reclamation of fields.

Of course, don't think that it is disrespectful to women to give a widow who has no food to give someone else to be a wife.

In troubled times, everyone does this, and one side of the herdsman is willing to care about how many widows and lonely people have, and forcibly matching, but it will be regarded as "diligent and benevolent", so don't be angry. Of course, it will not be possible to put it aside for future generations.

……

It took Liu Bei seven days to rectify the prisoners of war and the exiles, and Zhuge Jin also handled his father's first seven funerals. The people who should have come to mourn here in Taishan County have also been hanged, and the Zhuge family took the coffin and set off back to Langya's hometown.

After sending the Zhuge family away, counting the days, Liu Bei felt that if the imperial court would react to Zhuge Jue's testament, then the return should almost arrive. And he asked Li Su to write a recital to Liu Yu, because there were too many twists and turns, and it took at least half a month to reply (the imperial court reply should also be returned to Liu Yu first, and Liu Yu would reply to Liu Bei)

This time, however, he miscalculated.

Because only two days after the Zhuge family left, that is, on the ninth day after Zhuge Jue's testament was played, there was an urgent document from Luoyang, which went straight to Taishan County to find Liu Bei to announce the decree.

Liu Bei was shocked, he didn't expect the imperial court to react so quickly, but he had no choice but to take Guan Zhang and Li Su out to welcome the angels.

The person who came was actually Shangshu Zheng Tai, Liu Bei had also seen Zheng Tai was Lu Zhi's colleague when he was in Luoyang last year, and his qualifications were slightly shorter than Lu Zhi's, and he was appointed Shangshu two years after Zhongping.

"General Liao, Liaodong Taishou Liu Bei, meet the angel!"

Zheng Tai's face was not very good-looking, and his expression was stiff, but he didn't talk about reprimanding, but just came to inquire on behalf of the imperial court: "Liu Bei, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jiao and impeached you for supporting the army and self-respecting and vainly invading the borders of other states, how should you explain this matter?" And recently, there have been many discussions about the border county generals plotting to disrespect the imperial court, and there are many people who have mentioned yours, why are you so imprudent! ”

Listening to this tone, there is still room for maneuver, that is, I came to reprimand and beat it to give Liu Bei a chance to explain.

Liu Bei hurriedly said from the bottom of his heart: "Before preparing for this expedition, I asked the envoy Jun Bo Angong to hunt down and kill the rebels who originated in Youzhou but flowed out of the border of Youzhou on the order of the envoy. Before the expedition, Beibei also asked the imperial court about the law, and was told that when His Majesty established the post of state minister, he did have the right to cross the border to pursue the fleeing thieves.

This is an important difference between the functions and powers of the state pastor and the assassin history, I think Jiao Tingshi has not served as a state pastor, and he has not had time to understand the new imperial court law established last year, and the communication of documents is slow, so there is this misunderstanding.

After Wu Su, the chief of the Wuhuan Wusu Department in Beiping, was conferred the head, Bei was already immovable, in order to clear the fleeing thieves, and then transferred to the place and retreated back to his original base. If you don't believe it, you can ask the three local county guards and governors of Mount Tai, Beihai and Donglai. ”

Zheng Tai also took a cursory look at the local situation in the military camp and Fenggao County, and then nodded: "I see, seeing that your troops and horses are stationed and there is no move to move westward again, this statement is credible for the time being, and I will investigate it in detail."

However, for the sake of respect, when I return, it is best for you to personally follow you to Beijing to report on your work and clear up the misunderstanding. The scorching history is also, when the thief was serious before, he and the Taishou of Donglai County passed the buck to each other, and the clerical argument caused trouble between the general and the imperial court, which can be described as a mess. It is that this Taishan County is not too guarded, and the county Cheng Zhuge and Jiao Thorn Shi have also fought several clerical battles.

If it weren't for the fact that before I left Beijing, Zhuge Juncheng's testament had also arrived, and His Majesty and the general were afraid that their suspicion of General Liu would have been even heavier. Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are the protégé of your brother, although you don't like to study, you should learn more about the taboos of the imperial court. I know that you are loyal and good by nature, and you only want to get rid of thieves and serve the country, but you are too bold to do things! ”

In the last half of the sentence, he no longer used to talk to Liu Bei as an angel in the court, but privately persuaded him as an elder.

Because Zheng Tai is a colleague of Lu Zhi, this gesture is no problem, and he can directly call Liu Bei's name.

It can be seen from this that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe has a bad reputation in the imperial court, and he is also famous for slandering people or taking credit. It can be seen that the yellow scarves on whose territory are fierce, and it is not unreasonable, whether it is Liu Yu or Tao Qian, they are very good at encircling the expansion of the yellow scarves. The magistrates of Qingzhou could not use the spontaneous forces of various localities to quell the rebellion, and obviously an important reason was the discord between the prefectures and counties.

Assassin Shi and Taishou both calculate each other every day, how can this quell the rebellion? If there is only one county Taishou complaining, it may be the Taishou's problem. If the three Taishou are all involved in the Thorn History, then most of the Thorn History is not a good thing.

Therefore, Jiao He's impeachment of Liu Bei is not a big problem, which leads to a situation where you can pass the test with a few words. If you change someone with a good reputation and a reputation for being righteous and outspoken, it will not be so easy to pass this level.

Liu Bei also listened immediately: "Thank you Zheng Shangshu for your teachings!" Bei was young and ignorant, and he was unwilling to study hard, and since he was out of the Lu Division, every time he served the country for the official, he felt that he had not learned enough, and he regretted it very much. Feel free to ...... then."

Liu Bei's words were from the bottom of his heart, but Li Su was afraid of being hurt when he heard this, so he hurriedly and secretly pulled Liu Bei behind his back, but it was invisible from Zheng Tai's point of view.

Liu Bei comprehended, so he slowed down his speech and acted as a squire, as if there was some difficulty.

Li Su hurriedly answered: "Zheng Shangshu, the battle has just ended here, and the distance between Qingzhou giant Zangba and our army is only dozens of miles. General Du Liao also needs to gather his army and return, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves. At this time, if he is summoned back to Beijing to report on his work, I am afraid that the change of commander will not be conducive to the restraint of the army.

It is better to give him ten days, gather the army and slowly return eastward, and try to disengage from the thief army to avoid being attacked by surprise. As the captain of Liaodong Changshi and Wuhuan Colonel, I know a lot about General Duliao's mission, so it is better for me to return to Beijing with Shangshu to report on my work and explain the suspicions, and then General Duliao will come again. ”

Li Su euphemistically expressed a worry: Liu Bei will listen to the words of the imperial court and withdraw his troops, but the rebels will not! The imperial court can control Liu Bei but can't control Zang Ba, what if Zang Ba fights back? Wouldn't the imperial army be delivered food without a commander? You're going to have to allow a complete disengagement before you go, right?

Zheng Tai obviously thought about the stakes clearly, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he gave Liu Bei a little leniency:

"Then I will first take Captain Li back to Beijing to explain Liu Bei, you have to be cautious, the DPRK and China are now a lot of jealous of the self-respect of the border county herdsmen and guards, and you are not the only one who has problems, you must be careful everywhere."

After finishing speaking, Li Su first respectfully sent Zheng Tai down to rest, and then took the time to confess to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei anxiously lowered his voice and asked, "Boya, why did you stop me just now?" Zang Ba didn't dare to fight back against our army at all. ”

Li Su also responded in a whisper: "I'll go first, Brother Chen Ming's dedication to serving the country and entering Beijing at any time, wouldn't there be more room for maneuver than if Brother Ming went directly to Beijing?" Moreover, I can put on a more advisory posture for the imperial court, learn from it, and persuade the imperial court to 'give my brother some appeasement conditions in order to ensure that my brother enters Beijing more simply'."

If my brother goes directly, the court will not have to caress him, and I am afraid that the situation will be even more difficult at that time. As for the ready-made conditions of Zang Ba's sneak attack, there is no need to use it in vain. Moreover, I will go first to inquire about who the DPRK is still afraid of, and which border generals are suspected of supporting the army and self-respect, so as to decide the next step. ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Why do you need to be like this, I am loyal to the court, and the court will not live up to me, as for the transfer of official positions, I will be sent by the court, and I will not accept it." However, since the matter has come to this, I know that you also have good intentions, so let's do what you want. ”

Li Su also started thinking about this question at the beginning, but at this moment, his mind was spinning and he began to deduce rapidly. After thinking for a while, he sighed:

"If the court is really jealous, even if the brother is meritorious, the court can rise and fall openly and secretly to resolve the crisis. If my brother is promoted to the court, I am not too worried. It's a big deal to be a Beijing official, to be a few months, and not to seek to make contributions abroad.

When the situation changes, it will be easy to return to the local area, and most likely it will be able to return to the state and county where it once operated. In this way, the shortcomings of the brother's resume of 'never being a Beijing official' can also be made up, which is also beneficial for the brother to recruit talents from all walks of life in the future.

But I'm afraid that after the imperial court is jealous, it will rise and fall secretly, and find another border county in the poor countryside to adjust the defense, which is not conducive to serving the country. ”

Li Su felt that he was not afraid to be a Beijing official for the time being.

Anyway, in another seven or eight months, Emperor Han Ling will die. Being an official in Beijing for eight months is, at best, a loss of eight months of opportunity to expand the territory, and a little delay. On the contrary, the resume can be more comprehensive.

What I'm most afraid of is to give you a promotion, and then be promoted to a state pastor or something, that's why you don't use a knife to kill people, and you don't see blood when you kill people, so you will be abolished directly. It's like when Cao Cao beat Jian Tu to death with a five-colored stick, the eunuchs were promoted in a weird way, and Cao Cao was promoted from the northern lieutenant of Luoyang to the Dunqiu Order.

But with Li Su's exploration of the way in Beijing, this kind of cup can definitely be avoided.
