After leaving the palace, Zhuge Liang returned to his mansion.

Rao Yang had already prepared a meal waiting for him, Zhuge Liang returned to the house, even if Zhuge Liang had eaten in the Houde Palace, but he still sat in the front yard with his wife, the two chatted, eating food without hurry, the weather was slightly cool, the cold wind blew on his body, quite comfortable, Zhuge Liang looked around, and asked: "What about Zhan'er?" Where did he go? ”

"He's rested."

"Fell asleep so soon?? This guy! Zhuge Liang frowned, very annoyed, and wanted to go to Zhuge Zhan, Rao Yang hurriedly persuaded him, and said with a smile: "The child sleeps when he is tired, it's okay, he stayed in Menzi all day, it's understandable that he is tired.." You see that the children of Liu Sikong's family have played with Zhan'er since they were children, but they didn't even get into the sect..."

"It's better than ... It's all your fault, I've been spoiling him, I'm already an official in the East Palace at his age! Zhuge Liang snorted coldly and said unhappily.

"Hey... Mastiff .. Ah no, what did Your Majesty call you for this time? Rao Yang asked curiously.

"Serve as a lieutenant."

"Really?? Haha, great, Sanling, in the past, it was Sangong, is this Zhongling quite similar to Situ, or what? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly and said: "What do you care about this, no matter what position, you can serve the Han, and there is no dignity..."

"As I said, if you were a pavilion chief, would you be able to marry me? He also said that there was no dignity. ”

"Don't talk about that, I'm going to go to the middle stage tomorrow morning to be busy."

Princess Raoyang nodded, but she remembered something, she wanted to speak again, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "There is one thing, I want to discuss it with you..."

"Say it."

"Tomorrow, I want to go to the palace and talk to Your Majesty about something."

"What's the matter?"

"You see, you also started from the East Palace, our family is close to Your Majesty, Zhan'er is not young, does Hu'er also need it...", Rao Yang just opened his mouth, Zhuge Liang interrupted him directly, and said: "No, first of all, Hu'er is not the prince yet, you are in a hurry to send Zhuge Zhan to him, what do you want?" What do you want Your Majesty to think? ”

"I'm his aunt, and I don't have anything else to think about."

"You shouldn't have any other thoughts... Zhan'er's personality is lazy, not suitable for Hu'er's side, listen to me, just stay at home and take care of yourself.."

When Rao Yang heard this, he could only sigh helplessly, without words.

The next day, Zhuge Liang got up early and prepared to go to the service platform, before that, he ordered the servant to pour a bowl of water on the head of Zhuge Zhan, who was sleeping, and then left the mansion.

The service platform is not big, because the service order has to work beside the Son of Heaven for a long time, and the place where he stays is the Houde Palace, so this service platform is not too renovated, and even seems a little simple, however, many officials in the service center have been waiting here for a long time, including such as full favor, Zhang Fei and other old ministers, in the face of them, Zhuge Liang also hurriedly bowed and greeted.

"Sure enough, Zhuge Jun became the commander of the waiter!!" , Zhang Fei said enthusiastically, they had some friendship before because of the new deal, speaking of which, he really didn't think about getting the so-called position of the waiter, the position of the waiter, the position of the waiter, said to be the third order, but he was with the Son of Heaven all day long, which was a dangerous position.

If you are not a relative of the Son of Heaven and cannot win the trust of the Son of Heaven, it is better not to try to stay in this position.

Zhang Fei is very happy about Zhuge Liang's appointment as the commander of the servant, most of the officials in the servant station exercise the power of supervision, and a servant with a strong background and close to the Son of Heaven can make their affairs much smoother.

Zhuge Liang and many officials met one by one, secretly wrote down their appearance and name, and instructed everyone to continue their errands, he went to the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven had already gotten up, when Zhuge Liang walked into the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven was seriously replying to the play, which made Liu Xi miss Guo Jia very much, when Guo Jia was still there, these notes were all he was replying.

Guo Jia's reply is simple and direct.

Liu Xi spent a long period of leisure time.

But now, looking at Zhuge Liang replying to those people in a serious manner, Liu Xi understands in his heart that he is afraid that those headache recitals in the past are coming again, these courtiers, whimsical, whatever they think of will be played to the Son of Heaven, it is all nonsense, when Guo Jia was in the past, when he met such a person, he grabbed it and criticized him angrily.

And according to Zhuge Liang's temperament, I'm afraid he won't be able to make such a fierce reply.

Liu Xi thought for a moment, and then asked Zhuge Liang, who was watching the recital, to stop being busy, and said seriously: "Kong Ming, the important thing at the moment is the matter of the law, these things, I can handle them myself, so let's do it, during this time, you will not be used to help in the Hall of Houde, and you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the law..."

"In addition, since the death of Shi Zhongling, Shang Shuling, has not been out for a long time, said that he is ill, I have also gone to see him a few times, this compilation of new laws, without him is not good, you will go to Shang Shutai later, find him, persuade one or two...", Liu Xi said, Zhuge Liang nodded seriously, said goodbye and left.

Zhuge Liang's carriage stopped in front of the door of Shangshutai, Zhuge Liang, who was wearing a three-order official robe, stepped out of the carriage, the two soldiers standing at the door were startled, rubbed their eyes, looked at Zhuge Liang in front of them, and hurriedly saluted to see them, Zhuge Liang smiled and greeted them, and only then walked into Shangshutai, until he walked in, the two soldiers were not able to calm down, at that moment, they seemed to see the lazy figure of the past, and almost got wet.

Walking into Shangshutai, there were not many officials, only a few people, who were discussing something, found a person, asked where Shangshuling was, and Zhuge Liang entered the backyard.

Xun Yu was sitting in front of the desk, holding some books in his hand, I don't know what he was reading, Zhuge Liang hurriedly visited, hearing his voice, Xun Yu raised his head, glanced at him, stood up with a smile, even if he saw the familiar official uniform on his body, he was still very calm, and did not feel the slightest inappropriateness, "Zhuge Jun, come, please sit." ”

Zhuge Liang sat in front of him, looking at Shang Shuling in front of him, Shang Shuling was wearing a Confucian robe, he still looked as handsome as before, and his face did not show any sadness, as if he had not suffered the blow of this friend's death, Zhuge Liang asked: "I heard that Xun Gong is sick, I don't know if it has improved?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and nodded, and said: "It's much better, but I was lying on the sickbed for a while, but now it's starting to get busy, I'll go to the Houde Hall in a few days, and I'm tired...", obviously, Xun Yu knows very well that Zhuge Liang was entrusted by the Son of Heaven, so he came here, and Zhuge Liang also smiled and greeted Xun Yu for a long time.

"Your Majesty asked me to be responsible for compiling the new law, within the New Year, it must be completed...", Zhuge Liang talked about the new law, Xun Yu listened carefully, and waited until Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he said: "Yes, this matter really can't be delayed any longer, since Your Majesty has given you full authority to do this matter, then you can do it with confidence, if you need manpower, or other help, just give an order." ”

"Thank you, Xun Gong."

"No thanks."

The two were silent for a while, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, looking at Xun Yu who was smiling and sending him away, Zhuge Liang's heart was a little heavy, Xun Yu couldn't see the slightest pain on his face, but he saw the wine on the table, and smelled the smell of wine emanating from Xun Yu's body, Zhuge Liang knew that Shang Shuling was still a person who didn't drink a few months ago.

But he didn't say anything, and he didn't mention Guo Jia, if the Xun Guild felt better, then let him drink some wine quietly.

Returned to the service platform, Zhuge Liang sent people to the post station, and brought the people called by the Son of Heaven here, everyone heard that they were going to serve the platform, and they all understood in their hearts that it must be Zhuge Liang who sat in the position of the service, so the matter of compiling the law was also responsible for Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang let everyone get up, sat on both sides of him, and then said: "This compilation of the new law is very important, it is related to the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the monarchs must pay attention to it, I am appointed by the Son of Heaven to be fully responsible for this matter, but if the monarchs have any suggestions, they can also inform me, and I will definitely not ignore them..."

Zhuge Liang said for a while, and then let Man Pet take out the outline he had prepared before, and prepared to compile it on the basis of this outline, and everyone was very happy at first, and they all said their own opinions, from civil, criminal law, commercial disputes, etc., but when the topic involved morality and etiquette, the two sides instantly quarreled.

To give a simple example, how should the case of avenging the father be calculated, if it is from the perspective of etiquette, revenge and murder for the father is filial piety, it is an act in line with the etiquette and law, and it should not be investigated, but if the law is before the ceremony, then the murder is to be sentenced, and it cannot be dismissed for reasons, of course, this is just a simple example.

The main reason for their dispute is to determine the rites first, to compile the law on the basis of the rites, or to change the rites on the basis of the law.

"Concealing the thief, can't this still be blamed? If someone is guilty of treason, and their close relatives shield them, how can this be counted? ”

"Kissing and hiding, do you have to let your children report their fathers, and send wives to report their husbands, what kind of system is this?"

"The sages of the ancients, govern the country with courtesy, bind it by law, and the country and the people are safe!"

"You're talking about those virtuous kings who sacrifice the living to heaven?"

"Bastard!! The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the courtesy of husband and wife, the courtesy of father and son, if the law is not established on these rituals, the Han will be completely destroyed in the hands of traitors such as you!! ”

"What is within the law is the law of rituals, and if it goes beyond the law, it is the law of rituals that should be abolished."
