When Chen Zhen arrived in Maicheng, Tian Xin and Zhang Wen were inspecting the apiary.

Zhang Wen wore a hat and a veil to cover his face, and when he saw Tian Xin take out a plate of new honey surrounded by bees, he was secretly anxious.

Bees don't recognize people, no matter how gentle and soothing Tian Xin's movements are, there is still the possibility of being stung.

Bring a plate of honey and Zhang Wen to the side of the pavilion to enjoy, with the brushed effect, soft bread slices wrapped in a layer of new honey, the more you chew it in your mouth, the more fragrant, and then drink a sip of sweet spring water, the sweetness of honey is refreshing.

Jiangdong wants to surrender, Xu Zuo, Zhang Wen, Lu Yi, and Yu Shifang will all become important pillars to consolidate Jiangdong; Because of the great power of Beifu, it is impossible to let these people and families return to Jiangdong.

Otherwise, who will Koto listen to in the future?

Enjoying the sweet new honey, Tian Xin said: "Although the Jiangdong Shi clan was killed by Sun Quan, now all the people left are the solid ministers of the Sun family. With me, the imperial court must have the intention of moving the Jiangdong clan and enriching Jingzhou. In this way, the residue can be eliminated in one fell swoop, and the peace in the southeast can be guaranteed for a hundred years. Today, the imperial court has repeatedly symbolized the court, can the Qing be interested? ”

Zhang Wen's eyebrows were sometimes fierce, but also relieved, and his expression was complicated: "The minister hates Sun Quan and his branches, and now the court wants to give me the power of life and death, but he hesitates and can't bear to be punished." ”

How to get revenge?

The high-level are all meritorious, even if they are cold and idle, they should be treated without less; The middle level is the person who actually does it, but it is also at the behest of others, not for their own reasons.

Zhang Wen sighed for a long time, blinked his moist eyes, and laughed for a long time: "I only hate Sun Quan for being incompetent, and he is coerced by the ministers, so he asks for surrender so easily." ”

Although the turmoil in Jianye City has its own rhetoric, it can be carefully examined that there are various contradictions.

But no matter what, now Jiangdong is surrendered, and the lives and treatment of high-level people with heads and faces must be guaranteed.

Who is to blame?

Even if he defects to Wei and Jiangdong surrenders, he can't be purged on a large scale, this is the moral bottom line of being a man and being in power.

can only blame Sun Quan for not having the ability to make it to the Eastern Expedition in Beifu, and when the time comes, the army will go out to fight, and he will see blood.

After a few sorrowful voices, Zhang Wen said with a smile: "The court is levied, and the ministers also have a heart of revenge. In the meantime, Rong Chen will work for the public again. ”

"Since Megumi agreed, I will save me a lot of trouble."

Tian Xin hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "Although this matter is painful, it will tarnish its reputation and be criticized by outsiders." If Qing can bear it, it is better for the court to choose another capable person to go to Jiangdong to deal with it. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's visit has both the meaning of revenge and the meaning of leniency for the innocent. Since Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance and the attack on Jiangling, the two families have exchanged troops, and no less than 200,000 men and women of the army and civilians have died in vain, and the hatred is difficult to solve. If it is someone else, I am afraid that even the innocent will be punished. ”

Zhang Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, and Yu Guang noticed that someone was coming in the distance, and turned his head to look: "The deceased has passed away, and even the innocent will be punished, and the minister can't bear it." ”

"A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. If you have this heart, I don't have to worry about it. ”

Tian Xin sighed with emotion, the hatred was there, and it was really an accident for Zhang Wen to jump out of the whirlpool of hatred.

However, the people on the Jiangdong side are used to being unscrupulous, and now surrendering can write off old accounts.

But in the future, these people do not restrain their words and deeds, and if they are not careful, they will touch the Han law, and it is not too late to clean up when the time comes.

Get up to say goodbye to Zhang Wen, and the next time we meet, Zhang Wen will nominally be the court Weiqing of the Han Dynasty and one of the nine Qings of the Han Dynasty.

As for himself, he is no longer a Hanchen, but a guest of Han.

Now that Zhang Wen agrees to the court's conquest, it depends on how the court deals with Zhang Wen's identity, whether it is defined as Chen Guo's courtier concurrently serving as a Han official, or removing Zhang Wen's status as a Chen Guo's courtier.

It shouldn't be a part-time ...... Although there are precedents for concurrent positions, the most typical is that before Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, most of the officials of the Wei State concurrently served as Han officials, or Han officials concurrently served as Wei officials.

At that time, the officials held two positions, namely Liu Xie's Hanchen and the Cao family's Wei Chen, which was an important transitional way for Cao Pi to usurp the Han.

Therefore, the imperial court should have promulgated relevant laws and regulations prohibiting Sanke's subordinates from concurrently serving as Han officials.

Tian Xin thought silently, always feeling that Hanlu was full of loopholes, as long as he had a hard fist and the right to speak, he would have the opportunity to quibble.

Yes, the fist is hard, and if the law does not prohibit it, it is permitted; If the fist is not hard, it is forbidden without permission of the law.

Therefore, his own martial arts must be carved at all times, and the influence of the army cannot be abandoned, and he would rather become the tumor of the largest country, even if it becomes a kidney stone, it is better than being dissolved, digested, and absorbed by the imperial court.

Thinking down, Tian Xin welcomed Chen Zhen to the pavilion, Chen Zhen bowed his hand and smiled and saluted: "The foreign minister visits Chen Gong." ”

"Mr. Xiaoqi is very polite, take a seat and taste my new bread."

Tian Xin felt a sense of accomplishment, took a boxy piece of bread from the food box, the roasted skin was golden, cooled, sealed and softened, and then took out the Qingying Sword and cut it into even slices.

There are all kinds of sauces on the plate, he made a demonstration, Chen Zhen also rolled up his sleeves and learned to spread the jam, and the flexible and soft slices of bread in his hand had a feeling that it should be delicious.

Chen Zhen took a bite of the slices of bread with jam in both hands, chewed it gently, and suddenly his eyes lit up, Tian Xin was also happy when he saw it, and he liked the surprised appearance of these people.

Alas, it's really fun to open your eyes to others.

I want to eat such a good thing in the future...... Sorry, we don't teach you any unique skills.

"I don't get tired of eating, I don't get tired of being fine, Chen Gongzhen is a fellow practitioner."

Chen Zhen was originally a self-cooked and popular person, so he took a slice of bread by himself, this time sandwiched a piece of translucent pear tooth, and tasted it carefully: "Chen Gong, how is this thing made?" ”

Tian Xin had already wiped his hands with a cloth towel, picked up the bamboo slip brought by Chen Zhen and flipped through it, seeing that it was Jiangdong's information, so he didn't care much, closed it again, held the bamboo slip and pointed to the north: "This thing is not easy to come by." ”

"There must be Deng national wheat, which is finely ground into flour by water milling, and it is wonderful to take the finest one. After that, the cheese and ghee should be taken to make the skin burnt; After that, I will take Guangzhou cane sugar, mix Yizhou fine salt, and my yeast, and then knead it with my hands for half an hour and bake it. ”

"Mr. Xiaoqi, this thing is in the sky and on the earth, only here."

Chen Zhen listened, his mouth kept talking, all kinds of jams were dipped and eaten, after a little thought, he suddenly said: "If Chen Gong can cook it, this must be a peaceful thing." In the future, the world will be peaceful, and everyone will be blessed. ”

"Mr. Xiaoqi knows me."

Tian Xin took out a palm-high wide-mouthed thin-necked porcelain bottle from the food box on one side and handed it to Chen Zhen: "The fruit wine brewed in this family can be used as a meal accompaniment, and Mr. will use it for his own use." ”

Chen Zhen caught and pulled out the cork, sniffed, closed the cork again, picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it gently, mixed the remaining little pomace in the bottle evenly, and then poured a small drink, which was sweet and sour plum wine.

Tian Xin also continued to eat bread slices, and said with emotion: "This is indeed a peaceful thing, only when the world is peaceful, the people are rich, and they are full of appetite, can they quietly knead and bake bread, and the whole family can enjoy it at dinner." ”

"To tell you the truth, my life's wish is probably that my relatives and friends are free from illness and disaster, each has their own occupation and livelihood, and occasionally gathers to only talk about food and interesting stories. Rather than discussing what kind of soldiers kill. ”

"If the world is peaceful, it is also a good thing to open a noodle shop with your wife and children in a prosperous place in Kyoto, buy and sell pasta, and occasionally have a drink with the neighbors."

Chen Zhen listened, followed Tian Xin's train of thought, thought about it and said: "If the world is peaceful, if you have the qualifications of a foreign minister, you can also be a street patrol official." Chen Gong cooks food every day, maybe I am invited to enjoy it? ”

"If you can keep me out of the rangers, what is it to ask the gentleman for some food?"

"In this way, the foreign minister must raise and collude with some light heroes, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get this delicacy in the public."

Chen Zhen smiled and quipped, and restrained his smile: "Chen Gong, the prime minister will make an appointment to cross Lushui in the south in February, and he will be able to settle in Nanzhong around April." Looking at the current situation, is it difficult to carry out the Northern Expedition? ”

"Yes, Man Boning did a good deed."

Tian Xin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of cold tea, looking at the clouds floating in the distance in the sky: "If you want to level the world, there are only two battles left in Guanzhong and Hebei." I thought it would be nice to go on the Northern Expedition three years later. ”

"Three years...... I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't want to wait. ”

Chen Zhen asked: "With Chen Gong as the commander, next year's Northern Expedition may recover Guanlong?" ”

"If I'm handsome, it's easy to get through. Those I am concerned about are also in Hebei; Whoever I want, accumulate thick and thin, and hit Guanzhong and Hebei with lightning speed, so that the people of Hebei have no chance to breathe. ”

Make all kinds of logistical preparations, fight a decisive victory in Guanzhong, and do not give Wei time to breathe and recuperate, and directly fight another battle of Hebei to eliminate Wei in one fell swoop.

Those who can coordinate and have the confidence to do all this are the only ones who have an eighty percent chance. The two percent of the failures, one percent of which was the high-level performance of the Wei army; One percent is that the friendly forces are dragging their feet.

After Tian Xin finished speaking, Chen Zhen hesitated again and again, and shook his head slightly: "Chen Gonggao, but the imperial court has a big plan, and he wants to get Guan Long first, and he doesn't want to delay the change." ”

Tian Xin just nodded in understanding, this is to make Liu Bei feel at ease, he still had this idea before, but now it is gone.
