The fifth year of Tianji is a feast for young descendants.

Fu Yi served as the supervising order, Ruan Ji served as the servant of the Honglu Mansion, Cao Chong served as the servant of the Saimin Mansion to protect the border, Sima Fu served as the servant of the Overseas Mansion, Zhuge Ke served as the Zuo Cheng of the Minister's Mansion, Cao Zhang served as the commander of the Northern Army, and Lu Yi served as the commander of the Southern Army.

Many ministers in the temple have been sent away, and there are only a few people left, but unfortunately they can't stay for too long, Zhuge Liang still has three years to go, Sun Quan is probably four or five years, Pang Tong still has a year to live, and Fa Zheng is also about the same, in short, many ministers in the temple have already understood in their hearts that they can't stay in their current position for too long, and the young and vigorous juniors enter the temple, so that this originally somewhat calm water surface also ripples.

They have a lot of ideas, and they also have enough energy, and the service platform suddenly became lively, even Liu Qu came to the council hall from time to time, and these ministers who were of the same generation as him, he was obviously chatting more happily, looking at these energetic juniors, Pang Tong's eyes were full of bitterness, he originally had a lot of plans in his heart, he wanted to increase his power, and join forces with Zhou Yu to carry out the greatest innovation together.

That is, to develop more centralized factories, support Haoqiang to transform into a big businessman, to drive the overall economy of Dahan, but his plan was not half completed, he was ruthlessly beheaded by Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu was deposed, and he only had more than a year to go, and most of his supporters are now gone, Pang Tong instantly understood that those ambitions in his heart could no longer be completed.

These days, he has been looking at Zhong Changtong, because Zhong Changtong's experience is similar to him, Zhong Changtong is sixty this year... There are two years left, he is one year older than Zhuge Liang, of course, you can never see this from the appearance, Zhong Chang is free and easy, at this age, he has never stopped, his hair is jet black, as if he is in his early forties, and he can't tell his real age at all.

It's just that he's depressed right now.

He has been exercising, according to his words, he wants to live longer, it is best to survive the temple ministers, wait until he is on the throne, and then according to his own ideas, carry out the unprecedented innovation of the Han Dynasty, however, Zhuge Liang's system directly broke his illusions, no matter how long he lived, it was useless, and there were two years left, he had to leave the temple aggrieved, and this talent was useless.

When the ministers' deliberations were over, Pang Tong hurriedly stood up, followed Zhong Changtong and walked out, Zhong Changtong lowered his head, his face was lonely, he didn't seem to notice, Pang Tong coughed several times in a row, Zhong Changtong didn't care, Pang Tong was helpless, so he had to speed up his pace, walked to Zhong Changtong's side, and stopped him, Zhong Changtong raised his head and glanced at him, "Pang Linggong, if you are unwell, go to the imperial doctor, I don't know how to treat!" ”

"You!!" , Pang Tong was a little annoyed, pulled him, and walked towards the carriage not far away, and got into the carriage, Zhong Changtong was also sullen, without saying a word, Pang Tong frowned, and said: "You still have two years to live, why bother?" I'm going to leave the temple in a few months, look at me, have I ever been like you? ”

Zhong Changtong raised his head and looked at Pang Tong in front of him, if he didn't have dark circles on his face and didn't look so tired, maybe Zhong Changtong would believe him, "What advice does Pang Linggong have?" ”

"Be sacrificial wine."

"Huh?"

"The local officials of the temple are affected by this system, but the school is not affected, although we cannot serve in the school, but... We can impart knowledge to the students, you know the retired generals, right? I heard that they often go to military science to guide those students, and the students of military science are about to be tortured by them and go crazy... Since they can torture the students of military science..."

"Then we're going to torture Taixue?" , Zhong Changtong asked rhetorically.

Pang Tong laughed and said: "That's right, we go to Taixue, go to Menzi, we can go anywhere, we will die, but our thoughts can continue to be inherited, and one day, he will play an important role..."

Zhong Changtong thought about it seriously, he felt that Pang Tong's proposal was not bad, after retirement, being idle is also idle, it is better to go to school, even if he can't complete his ambitions, the children he taught will do it for himself sooner or later, the two chatted and returned to Zhong Chang's Mansion together, Pang Tong only has less than a year left, and the days are free, after all, in such a short period of time, he has no way to do anything.

As a result, he has plenty of time to decide what he will do after retirement.

Zhuge Mansion

Zhuge Ke lowered his head, sat in front of his uncle, cautiously, Zhuge Ke has a different kind of confidence in himself, he has always firmly believed that he is the successor of his uncle, the future of the Han, will be more brilliant in his own hands, from childhood to adulthood, listening to his uncle's deeds grew up, for this uncle, Zhuge Ke is very admired, even to the point of fanaticism, compared to his father, he admires his uncle more.

Even, sometimes, he will be a little jealous of Zhuge Zhan, why is he not his uncle's son?

It's just that a lazy person like Zhuge Zhan is not worthy of inheriting his uncle's will, Zhuge Ke thought so, but in front of Zhuge Liang, he naturally didn't dare to say so, "Uncle, in fact, compared to me, Erlang is more suitable to come to the temple.. He's much smarter than me...", Zhuge Ke said seriously, this time the young people were transferred to the temple on a large scale, and Zhuge Ke entered the temple and became the official Zuocheng.

Obviously, in another four or five years, Sun Quan's position will be handed over to him to sit, this is the official's house, Zhuge Ke was a little excited, but Zhuge Zhan failed to return to the temple, he went to Qingzhou and served as Qingzhou pastor.

This made Zhuge Ke feel the importance of his uncle, he came to the temple on the first day, he didn't even go to see his father, he came to his uncle, when he came to Zhuge Mansion, his uncle was in the study, Zhuge Ke had seen a lot of ministers, and he had also been to their study, the stacked books in the study were always daunting, but the uncle was different here, and the uncle's study was very small.

There are not too many books, a long and narrow wooden case, there are a lot of scorched black candles on it, and the documents on the wooden case are also messy, Zhuge Liang will look at this for a while, and look at that for a while, but the pen in his hand has never stopped, Zhuge Ke did not disturb his uncle, just sat aside, waiting for him to finish his work, he secretly looked at the documents that were thrown around at random.

It seems that the yield of what crops and the comparison of outputs in various places, Zhuge Ke only glanced at it a few times, and then did not look at it again.

After being so busy for a few hours, he put down the pen in his hand, and Zhuge Liang looked at his nephew on the side with relief, "Yuan Xun... You're back? Zhuge Ke got up and bowed to his uncle seriously, "Nephew to see uncle!" ”

"Get up!" , Zhuge Liang stood up with a smile, Zhuge Ke also hurriedly stood up, but he didn't dare to straighten up, Zhuge Liang walked in front of him, grabbed his shoulder, and lifted it up, but it made him straighten his back, and then patted his stomach with a smile, "Okay, I ate well in Guishuang, this belly is already about to catch up with Liu Linggong!" Zhuge Ke smiled a little embarrassedly.

Most of the Zhuge family are thin and tall, but for some reason, there is such a fat man as Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke was still thin when he was young, the older he is, the bigger this physique is, Zhuge Liang took him out of the study, for this nephew, he still values it more, walked out of the door, Zhuge Liang took some feed from the side, and squatted in the courtyard, feeding the chickens and ducks in the courtyard.

Zhuge Ke also picked up a handful of feed and squatted beside his uncle.

"Yuan Xun, you have also grown up, I think at the beginning, you cried and cried to go to school with me, and you couldn't reach my knees at that time!"

"Uncle.. I was still young..."

"You were born smart, and now you don't live up to your prodigy's name, you were admitted to Menzi at the age of thirteen, there are really not many talents like you."

Listening to his uncle's praise, Zhuge Ke blushed a little, although he was already a father, but in front of Zhuge Liang, he was always that young child.

"Yuan Xun, why didn't you take the Taixue exam at that time?"

"Because my uncle once swore that I would never enter Taixue, and if my uncle didn't enter the place, I naturally wouldn't go in!" , Zhuge Ke said seriously, but Zhuge Liang laughed, didn't say anything more, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You just came from Guishuang, I'm also busy with my own affairs, let you wait for so long, you go home, meet your parents, rest for a few days, and then come to me." ”

"Respectfully!" , Zhuge Ke bowed to him, and seeing that Zhuge Liang was about to go back to the study, he suddenly shouted: "Uncle! ”

"Huh?"

"I won't let my uncle down! I want to govern diligently, take my uncle as the goal all my life, and do my best to govern the government, I will definitely become more powerful, and no one can stop me! Zhuge Ke's face turned red, and he said feverishly, "I will never relax for a day, I will not enjoy a luxurious life, go all out!" I will inherit my uncle's will, Erlang will help me, many of my uncle's disciples will help me, and I will definitely know the greatness of my uncle in the world! ”

Zhuge Ke bowed to Zhuge Liang again, straightened up, and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning when he saw his nephew leave.

How does it feel that something is wrong?
