Sun Quan was not wrong in what he expected.

When Zhuge Liang came to Liu Yi's mansion, Liu Yi also thought so, Liu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him suspiciously, if he hadn't trusted Zhuge Liang, he would have driven Zhuge Liang out of the mansion a long time ago, then Kuai Yue and Chen Lin were both servants who occupied an important position under Pang Tong, so that the two of them could return to their hometowns, is this really not a factional fight?

"This matter is very easy to do. If it was just the two of them, maybe others wouldn't say anything, but Zhuge Linggong wanted to replace the two people in their place... But they are all close to Ling Gong, I naturally don't doubt anything else, but this is a hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty...", Liu Yi said, and secretly looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, Zhuge Liang still looked as calm as in the past, and there was still a smile on his face.

Liu Yi was taken aback, and then said: "If Ling Gong insists on this, then I can hold a court meeting... It is up to the hundred officials to negotiate on their own, however, the dismissal of the minister of Zhongtai is the first time, and more preparations need to be made, in addition, Pang Linggong can't hide it, it's best to reveal this matter to him, so as not to hurt the harmony of the two Linggong..."

"Well, then it's more troublesome for Liu Linggong, Pang Linggong, I'll talk about it." , Zhuge Liang said, stood up and left, Liu Yi got up and sent him away, only then did he return to the study again, Zhuge Liang wanted to remove these two people, Liu Yi actually didn't want to interfere, but he realized that this recall may also be a good thing for him Zhongshutai.

Today's service is not as good as it was at the beginning, and Zhongshutai almost has to become the most depressed one within the three orders, and the power to preside over the court on the bright side is now useless, but if this time he can use the power of Zhuge Linggong to forcibly remove the minister of Zhongtai, then his Zhongshutai will definitely be able to become strong again, and no one will dare to be disrespectful to Zhongshutai in the future.

This may not be good news for Pang Tong, but it is good news for Liu Yi, after thinking about this, he did not hesitate, and directly began to prepare, in the middle of the platform, he may not have much strength, but if it is in the court, Liu Yi smiled.

Most of the time, he is in his own mansion, especially after the relocation of the council hall, there are many ministers in the service, and there is no need for Pang Tong to stare at it every day, a not perfect system in the service is still formed, although it is inseparable from Pang Tong, it also gives Pang Tong some leisure time, Pang Tong's hobbies on weekdays are only wine and books.

Zhuge Liang has always felt that if this person had entered the court earlier, he might have become a very good friend with Guo Linggong, when he came to the door of Pang's mansion, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, fortunately, the servants quickly brought Zhuge Liang to the mansion, Pang Tong heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, and he also hurriedly went out to greet him, and the two of them did not have to be too polite, Pang Tong took him to the study, the two sat facing each other, and some slaves took tea and the like.

"Why does Kong Ming come to visit me from time to time? I've heard that you've been very busy these days. Pang Tong said with a smile, Zhuge Liang said seriously: "These days are indeed busy, I want to dismiss Chen Lin and Kuai Yue in the middle of the stage." ”

Pang Tongyi, who was smiling, was stunned, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" They're doing a good job, aren't they? After Kuai became an official in the border area for more years and served as a servant of the border guards, he also solved a lot of contradictions between the border people and the migrants, as for Chen Lin, the edicts and edicts of the Han Dynasty to the outside world over the years were all written by him, why did you abolish the two of them? ”

"There are too many old people in the temple, which will make the young people not sharpened."

"Then we shouldn't drive away the capable old people, just to make room for the next generation, this... It's really a bit excessive..", Pang Tong said slowly, Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said: "Shiyuan, you should understand that during the period of Emperor Xiaoxian, there were many vacancies in the court and the central government, and there was no way to replace them, why is this?" It is because the temple minister has been in the position of the pigeon for decades and refuses to leave, and after they leave suddenly, no descendant can take their place. ”

"I think that the age of the officials should be limited, and after sixty-five, they will return home to rest and be raised by the temple, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, Pang Tong looked a little disapproving, he looked at the old friend in front of him, and then asked, "Your age, is it almost sixty-five?" Could it be that after you reach this age, you will also leave your current position and return to your hometown? In the face of Pang Tong's questioning, Zhuge Liang nodded very calmly and said seriously: "It is indeed not far away, and on that day, I will also give up my position." ”

"Why?"

"I don't think that an old man who is over the age of sixteen can have more energy and a clearer mind than the next generation of his life, even if you and I are the same.... I'm not as relaxed as I used to be when I read books, and the same is true for you to review the recitals. If you can realize that you are getting old, why should you occupy this position, relying on the old and selling the old, instead of thinking about younger, more energetic, and smarter young people to take over? ”

Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

"A lot of things, not only can be done with abundant energy, but also need experience, I don't agree with your statement, I think that compared to those young and reckless young students, we people, on the contrary, are more sober... For example, if you implement your system, I am afraid that Ma Gong will be the first to leave the temple, if he leaves, can the Gongfu continue to maintain its current glory? ”

"He's different."

"What's different about him?"

"He does what no one can do, but what we do, others can do it."

"Hehe, do you really want Ma Xuan to return to his hometown? If Ma Gong knew, maybe he would have done it with you, and he would not have left the Gongfu. ”

"He will lose the position of servant, but he can continue to be in the Gongfu as a guide, guide those young people, he is the most indispensable person in the Han, and you and I, the Han will have it every year, in the past, there was Wang He Wenren Yuan, and then there was Lu Cuicao Liu Sun, and now there are you and me, and there will be there in the future.... I understand you, Shi Yuan, I also want to be here all my life, it's not that I'm greedy for power, I just want to do more and do better. ”

"However, we will die eventually, and no matter how good we do, we need future generations to keep it, what do you think?"

Pang Tong was speechless, his face turned pale, and he hesitated for a long time before he cautiously asked, "Sixty-five is still a little young, or maybe seventy?" ”

"Shiyuan!!" , Zhuge Liang stiffened his face, his voice became solemn, and he said solemnly: "Temple minister, there are not many people who can live more than half a hundred, sixty-five, which is enough." Pang Tong didn't say anything more, just ate tea, and didn't know what he was thinking, the two sat like this for a long time, until the rain outside stopped, Zhuge Liang left here, and Pang Tong still didn't say a word.

He understands Zhuge Liang's personality, but he didn't think that Zhuge Liang wanted to compete with him for power or something, but what Zhuge Liang said, he still couldn't accept it, and he didn't use it if he let people go, he had to use some hairy boys, even if he sharpened it, he didn't have to be so eager?

However, before he could figure this matter out, the court discussion had already begun, and when Liu Yi sent someone to inform him to come to the court meeting, he was a little stunned, and then instantly understood, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, sometimes, even Pang Tong had to admit that he was the same as him, but in some aspects, he still had some gaps with him, and now Liu Yi was worried about the affairs of the court.

Zhuge Liang doesn't have to do anything, just tell Liu Yi that he needs to remove the two ministers of Zhongtai, and Liu Yi will do his best, Liu Yi's faction plus Zhuge Liang's faction, and even counting the Son of Heaven behind them, Pang Tong can't change what he does, he can't stop it, Pang Tong smiled helplessly, perhaps, as Zhuge Liang said, he is really old, in the past few days, he has been thinking about the words "returning to his hometown", but he didn't go to Liu Yi earlier.

If he had gone to Liu Yi earlier, and directly gave him the status and power he needed in the Zhongshutai Conference, I am afraid that there would be no more current situation, but now it is useless to think about this, so he called the groom, and he drove towards the palace. Those ministers who were close relatives of Pang Tong, except for Sun Quan, the rest of them looked a little surprised, and they really couldn't figure out why they suddenly held a court meeting.

And the rest of the two orders have already been prepared at this time.

When everyone rushed to the palace, they gathered around Sanling and talked about it, Zhuge Liang was surrounded by the most people, in the court, his status was very high, and the officials admired him very much, and as the convener of the court meeting, Liu Yi also had a lot of people around him, but Pang Tong's side, the number of people did not seem to be too much, Pang Tong looked at Fa Zheng on the side, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

It's just that it's not time yet.

When the palace door was opened, Liu Yi led the hundred officials into the hall, the ministers sat down, many people were still confused in their eyes, they were thinking about it, Liu Qu reluctantly walked into the hall, he glanced at his uncle complainingly, and sat on the upper seat, everyone hurriedly got up, and bowed to the Son of Heaven, after Liu Qu returned the salute, they sat down, Liu Yi was no longer the immature clan before, he began to preside over the affairs of the court, in an orderly manner.

"Please play !!"

"The Supervision Desk arrested 129 corrupt officials last year!!"

"Twenty-three of them were released without a reason!!

"The minister wants to shoot to the full servant for an explanation!!"

Before the business began to be discussed, Zhang Fei had already gotten up, his eyes staring at the full pet sitting opposite.
