Thirteen years of Yankang, at the end of the year

Unconsciously, it is the end of the year, the land of Luoyang has long been covered with snow, crystal clear, snow-white world, but it also has a different style, there are more and more people in the mansion, in order to compile the law, Liu Xi is completely put the power to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is not polite, when compiling the relevant laws, he will invite the best people in the temple to come.

In this way, it is the service platform has become a place where hundreds of officials gather, people come and go, every day you can see four or five servants standing here respectfully, and there are some people like that, and they are not even qualified to enter the hall, they can only stand in the courtyard, this is not that Zhuge Liang looks down on them, but the service platform is not big, and there are not too many people in the house.

Zhuge Liang sat on the top seat, stroked his beard, and watched the people below arguing, Cao Chong was debating with Fa Zheng, when formulating the tax law, there were some conflicts between the two, and they disagreed, and the people around them turned a blind eye to their quarrels, after all, they themselves were arguing, and even Sima Yi couldn't help but participate in the debate at this moment.

Sima Yi, who has never participated in this kind of quarrel, today for some reason, is extremely irritable, and he scolds the servants mercilessly, and he can't help but do it with the other party, no matter what a few servants mention, Sima Yi can always find a way to find fault, and the servants can't say that he can only be scolded by him full of anger, Zhuge Liang has no choice but to appease these servants, and at the same time reprimand Sima Yi, Sima Yi immediately stood aside respectfully and didn't say anything.

The servants hated Sima Yi very much in their hearts, this guy relied on the advantage of his tongue, he just found fault with them, and scolded them at every turn, or Zhuge Gong, they are all officials from the East Palace, why is the gap so big?

It was in the midst of such quarrels that the law began to take shape.

The Han law that has been compiled has been piled up, and it is enough to be as tall as one person, which shows the hard work of compiling the law this time, of course, this law, in Zhuge Liang's view, is definitely a law that shocks the ancient and modern, from ancient times to the present, there has never been such a comprehensive law, from civil disputes, to taxes, vehicles and ships, and even official assessments, and official transfers, all of which have been included in the law.

It can be said that everything in the Han Dynasty has been clarified, there is a complete system, and even, even the amendment of the law by everyone in the future has been compiled into the law by Zhuge Liang, and there is a complete amendment system.

It was busy until the night, and everyone left one by one, but Sima Yi stayed.

The two returned to the backyard and entered the study, these days, everyone in the service desk is very busy, but if it is said that the most tired, it is still the two of them, during the day the two are busy compiling the law, but at night they are discussing the law of Juntian, each of them is implemented, there is almost no rest time, sitting in the study, the two have some food, eat hot tea, and then they talk.

"How's going on in the mansion?" , Zhuge Liang asked.

"Alas, I went to visit Yu Tuo, but he didn't want to...", Sima Yi shook his head and said, Zhuge Liang frowned, "He is still dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that he doesn't agree with the Juntian Law, according to his meaning, although the Juntian Law can avoid the annexation of the people by the big clans, it will also hinder the development of agriculture and mulberry, and will inhibit the amount of land owned by the people... The situation of the Han Dynasty is thriving, but I am afraid that it will end here...", Sima Yi said seriously.

"Oh? It turns out that he and Zhongda are in the same general idea. ”

"I am only obeyed by the order of Zhuge Gong, which is different from him."

"Hmm... I understand his concerns, however, the Son of Heaven is bent on Juntian, easy to persuade not to move, not to mention, today's annexation problem, has gradually revealed, Zhongda, Ningzhou is newly established, Emperor Xiaoxian sent people to reclaim Tuntian, there are countless fertile land, Ningzhou is not a big family, good land is completely in the hands of the people who participated in the reclamation, but this year, the poor people in Ningzhou occupy less than thirty percent of the cultivated land! ”

"How many years have passed, and countless heroes have appeared in Ningzhou, forcing the people to be displaced and become tenants...", Zhuge Liang said seriously.

"What Zhuge Gong said is reasonable." , Sima Yi nodded, and didn't want to say more.

"Zhongda, I think there is something wrong with you today, isn't it because of Yanzhou?" , Zhuge Liang asked, just today, Sima Yi's position as Yanzhou pastor was dismissed, he was reduced to a white body, his expression seemed to be a little depressed, Sima Yi said a little sadly: "I have been governing Yanzhou for so long, just because I have rested with the people, I said that I was negligent, and even my official body was dismissed..."

"Zhongda, how can Your Majesty not know your talent? Your Majesty is a lover, you can rest assured, just wait for this law to be compiled, I will personally play it to the Son of Heaven, and I can give you the position of this servant...", Zhuge Liang said sincerely.

"Zhuge Gong, I'm not greedy for officials, I just feel a little bored, and when the law is compiled, I will retire and return home..."

"Zhongda! What are you talking about! How can you retire? Listen to me, after compiling, the position of the lieutenant will be handed over to you to sit, and I will go back to my Yuzhou and continue to be busy with my Yuzhou affairs. ”

"Alas... I'm afraid that it will be another sin of negligence. ”

The two talked for a long time, Sima Yi left, walked out of the middle platform, the sadness on his face gradually dissipated, this Juntian matter, he can do it, but he will definitely not participate in Juntian's decision, the matter is done, there is my credit, and defeat, it is also Zhuge Liang's business, it has nothing to do with himself, he is just an errand runner, but if he participates in the decision, if he opposes it, he is evil to the Son of Heaven, if he agrees, if something happens, he will still bother Zhuge Village.

This villager is also cunning, and wants to hand over the position of the lieutenant commander to himself?

The Son of Heaven dismissed his official position in Yanzhou, obviously to leave himself in the temple, Sanling, you have to hand over the position of the servant order to me, hahaha, Zhuge Villager, good calculation, let me the servant order, you will serve as the Shangshu order, hehe.

Sima Yi lowered his head, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and suddenly, he stopped, as if something was wrong.

His body didn't move, but his head slowly looked back, forming a strange arc.

At the door in the distance, Zhuge Liang held a lantern in his hand, smiled, and watched him leave.

The two looked at each other like this, as if they looked at each other at the gate of the East Palace twenty years ago, after many years, Zhuge Liang laughed, he nodded to Sima Yi, Sima Yi kept that weird head, slowly grinned the corners of his mouth, and showed an even weirder smile, the two knew it.

Are you going to compete with me for the position of Shang Shuling?

Villager, with me here, how can you be the head of a hundred officials?

Watching Sima Yi disappear into the night, Zhuge Liang stood still, looking at the bottomless darkness in front of him, now, he is in the light, bearing all the pressure, if he fails, all the fault will be on his body, but if he succeeds, he will not have any credit, he has reached the position of Sanling, there is no room for rise.

Sima Yi is in the dark, he fell in love with Shang Shutai, these days, he quarreled with several servants by compiling the law, completely different from the past, Sima Yi, who has always been reluctant to make enemies, suddenly quarreled with these servants, almost moved, aroused the hostility of everyone, and in order to make the law smoothly implemented, he could only appease these people, but the relationship became close.

Good plan, Zhong Da, Gao Ming, does the Son of Heaven like a Shangshuling that is close to the ministers, or does he need a Shangshuling that is not in harmony with the ministers?

However, his lifelong ambition needs the position of Shang Shuling, to assist the Son of Heaven and create a prosperous era through the ages, the position of Shang Shuling must be his own, Zhong Da acts ruthlessly, if he comes to serve as Shang Shuling, I am afraid it will be inappropriate, even so, Zhong Da, the head of a hundred officials, or I will sit down.

Zhuge Liang was busy for a while, and then returned to his mansion.

There were already slaves waiting at the door, Zhuge Liang came back very late these days, the slave greeted him into the house, Zhuge Liang went to the backyard, but Princess Raoyang was already asleep, Zhuge Liang did not disturb her, he still had some things that he had not done, so he went to the study, the slave lit a candle, and stood not far away, standing respectfully.

"Steward Zhang.."

"Zhuge Gong." , In the study, it is the steward of Zhuge Mansion, hearing Zhuge Liang's words, he hurriedly stepped forward, Zhuge Liang's pen in his hand never stopped, continued to write, but he opened his mouth and asked: "Today's newspaper, have you read it?" ”

"I've seen it, I'm going to get one for Zhuge Gong?"

"Oh, no need, tell me, what's the news?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just the transfer of ministers."

"Well, I know this, by the way, who went to Yanzhou?" , Zhuge Liang wrote his own content, and continued to ask, Steward Zhang admired it very much, the head of his family was dedicated to two purposes, while writing documents, he could also chat with himself, this ability, it is not a loss to be the son-in-law of Emperor Xiaokang, and the steward hurriedly said: "It is the servant of the sacrificial mansion who shot Yuan Xi, and he was sent to Yanzhou." ”

"Him?" , Zhuge Liang was stunned, the pen in his hand also stopped, and then continued to write, although this person has no talent, however, Sima Yi has already laid the foundation of Yanzhou, this person is honest and obedient, will not make any big changes to Yanzhou's strategy, let it be, Yanzhou's governance is not a problem, he nodded, and asked: "Then who replaced Yuan Xi?" ”

"I heard that it is a Taishou in Liangzhou, what is it called... Oh, by the way, it's called Zhong Changtong! ”

"Wow~~", Zhuge Liang's pen trembled, and he actually destroyed all the content he had written, Steward Zhang was shocked, but Zhuge Liang was even more surprised than him, frowned, and asked, "Who do you say served as the servant of the sacrificial palace??? ”

"Zhong Changtong, that's right, that's the name, Zhong Changtong."

"Zhong Changtong came to serve as a servant of the sacrificial palace??? Sun Quan, he's crazy?? Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, "Or is the death of Taiwei Gong too big a blow to him??" ”

Alas, poor man.
