"What Kong Ming said is true, Liu Gong is an important minister in the court, and it is okay to take on this important responsibility, but..." Liu Xi thought about it, and said: "If he is the Sikong, what about the position of Si Nong?" The position of Si Nong is equally important, and there are many years of experience in the court, so it is difficult to do it...", Zhuge Liang nodded, they, the ministers of Yankang from the East Palace, can play a great role in various positions.

But rashly put them in the position of Sangong, or Si Nong, it is probably not possible, because they are still very young, they can govern a county and a state, but they can't manage the world's agricultural affairs, and they are inexperienced, and in such a position, a slight difference will lead to big problems, such as farmland planning, Zhuge Liang is the best in agriculture, but he can let him plan the world's cultivated land, let him be responsible for next year's cultivated land reclamation policy, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang is also at a loss.

It's not that he's not good enough, it's just that he's not familiar with them and needs to be accumulated.

In such a situation, it is natural to need an old minister to come forward, a person who knows how to govern agriculture, holds many positions, has experience, and is loyal... Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I still have an old minister in the Han Dynasty, this person's talent is not under Xing Gong, since Jianning, this person is the minister of the court, as for today, he has been counted as the second in addition to Xing Gong's foreign qualifications..."

"If Your Majesty can let this person come and serve as Si Nong, there will definitely be no problem."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Xi was shocked, my Han still has the same qualifications as Xing Gong, and he has followed Yeye's minister?? This is worth it, why didn't I know that there was such an old minister, Liu Xi asked with some doubts: "I don't know who Kong Ming is talking about?" ”

"Xizhou Thorn History, Jia Gong."

"Jia Gong?? Oh!! I remembered that this person was the teacher of Emperor Xiaoxian, and he went to Xizhou since Xiping, so many years, I almost forgot about this person, but I am afraid that this person is old..."Liu Xi said with some concern, Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said: "In the year of Duke Xing, he can still be the first capable minister of my Han Dynasty, old age is not a problem, Your Majesty may know that over the years, although Xizhou has never had good news... The development of Kexi State..."

Zhuge Liang said with some emotion: "Xizhou was originally formed by the union of many small countries, the countries fought each other, there were many contradictions, the climate was harsh, the Gobi Desert, flying sand and stones, the road was impassable, the horses could not walk, and there were many thieves and horses, the language was different, the customs were different, there were no roads, and there were few cities...", Liu Xi nodded, and sighed again, he knew the badness of Xizhou, and Xizhou has always been considered the poorest area in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang continued: "But Your Majesty doesn't know, today's Xizhou has opened up sixteen trade routes, leading to all places, the counties are harmonious, the people are rich, the merchants are endless, everywhere is arable land, cotton and the like, the number of production, far more than Liangzhou, and set up horse farms, raise more livestock, and produce livestock furs, which is the most commodities of the Han Dynasty and Guishan, the city is tall, and the post stations are everywhere, just relying on foreign merchants, Xizhou has been like this..."

"The minister doesn't know, why Jia Gong didn't report the good news, the minister and Jia Gong are not familiar with each other, and Jia Gong is in Xizhou, Xizhou Dazhi, set up official schools, make Yayan, elect officials, and enter Taixue, whether it is the cultural wind, or the matter of agriculture, Jia Gong has done extremely well.... If the minister hadn't received the envoys from Xizhou, he really wouldn't know about these situations..."Zhuge Liang said, but Liu Xi's eyes widened.

"According to your words, this Jia Gong is an upright person who is dedicated to civil affairs, not greedy for reputation, and has high morals!!" Liu Xi asked, Zhuge Liang nodded, and said: "That's true, such a great achievement, and I don't report it, it can be seen that Jia Gong's great virtue, Jia Gong's virtue, is really admired by the world, Liang is ashamed, these days, Liang is busy everywhere, but it is only for some clear names... Jia Gong is like this, he is a real moral person, a real virtuous minister!! ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's emotion, Liu Xi stood up excitedly and said: "Good, great goodness, within the Han Dynasty, I didn't know that there was such a great talent, Kong Ming didn't say it for a long time, I almost lost a great sage!" Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't know who Jia Gong was before, and if he wanted to ask, no one knew that those who were officials in the same dynasty as Jia Gong, such as Dong Gong, Lu Gong, Cui Gong, Cai Gong, etc., have all passed away..."

"Now, there are only two left, Jia Gong and Xing Gong..."

Liu Xi laughed and said, "Okay, good, I lost a great sage, but I got another person!" I'm going to send someone... No, I personally wrote to him to ask him to take the position of chief!! Liu Xi said, and was about to look for pen and ink, but Zhuge Liang stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, no...", Liu Xi was stunned, "Kong Ming, you also said that this person is a great talent, and he is also an old minister of Jianning, why not let him come back to serve as the secretary?" ”

"I think it's better to be a farmer."

"Si Nong?? Jianning's old minister, how dare I invite him to be the Si Nong?? ”

"Your Majesty!!" Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the minister has inquired, Jia Gong once served as a lieutenant, and before Dong Gong, he served as a lieutenant, when Dong Gong broke Guishuang, Jia Gong also made a lot of meritorious deeds, but for some reason, Jia Gong voluntarily resigned, unwilling to serve as the third duke, and went to the poorest Xizhou... Your Majesty thinks about it, he can give up the position of the third prince in the past, but what about the empty position? ”

Liu Xi asked with some doubts: "Why did he give up?" ”

"The minister thought that Jia Gong must have the world in mind, so he gave up the position of Tai Lieutenant and went to Xizhou, dedicated to the Han Dynasty..."Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the position of Si Nong, the importance of the country, Jia Gong must also know, if His Majesty invites him to be civil, presumably Jia Gong will definitely come...", Liu Xi heard this, he was extremely excited, and hurriedly began to write.

Embroidered Messenger's House,

Yuan Shang is looking at the reports from all over the place, summarizing, compiling, these things, can not be entrusted to others, can only be done by Yuan Shang alone, Yuan Shang is still a little tired, buried in hard writing, wrote for a long time, Yuan Shang only felt that his hands were a little sore, only to put down the pen helplessly, put the local report aside, and picked up the report of Luoyang.

"Sikong Yuan Shao, died in prison with Tingwei, and died of poisoning."

"Yuan Tan, a concubine, died in prison with Tingwei, and died of poisoning."

Holding the two copies of the report in his hand, Yuan Shang was stunned, stunned for a long time, he slowly stood up, he opened his mouth, and breathed deeply, "Whose report is this??? Why the gibberish?!! Why do you talk nonsense!! Yuan Shang suddenly roared angrily, kicked the case in front of him with one kick, the movement in the study was not small, and the embroidered messengers rushed in one after another, holding swords, a little vigilant.

Yuan Shang's eyes were red, and he looked at the embroidered messengers in front of him.

"Come with me!!"

Yuan Shang roared and ran out of the study, the embroidered messengers followed him one after another, and rushed out of the mansion with him, the embroidered messengers rushed out of the mansion under the leadership of Yuan Shang, which suddenly made many people who were observing the embroidered messenger's mansion shocked, extremely frightened, Yuan Shang led everyone and rushed straight to the Tingwei prison, when he rushed to the Tingwei Mansion, no matter how Yuan Shang knocked on the door, no one opened the door.

Yuan Shang was furious in his heart, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and slammed it at the gate of Tingwei, the embroidered messengers set off one after another, and after a while, the gate of Tingwei's Mansion was rushed open, when Yuan Shang rushed in, Manzhong was blocking the inner courtyard, a group of soldiers, holding swords, did not let go, the two sides confronted, Yuan Shang looked at Manzhong coldly, and said: "Get out of the way!" Manzhong looked at him and said, "Xianfu, mourn, but by His Majesty's order, this place cannot be passed." ”

"I told you to get out of the way!!"

"You are the official of the Han Dynasty, you should obey the order of the Son of Heaven!!"

The two groups of people were confronting, but Sima Yi broke in, entered the door, saw such a situation, he did not feel puzzled, he said to Man Chong: "I have the order of the Son of Heaven, Man Jun please let go, let Yuan Jun go in...", Man Chong heard, then let the way, Yuan Shang rushed in, when he rushed into the prison, he couldn't walk, he saw Yuan Shao lying on the ground, and his brother on the side.

The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Yuan Shang just looked at them blankly, and the whole person seemed to be out of his soul.

"Father... Father... Brother... Father..."

Yuan Shang knelt on the ground, tears came out of his eyes, but he didn't cry, the whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, he crawled to Yuan Shao's side, holding his father's cold hand, his hands held these hands, trying to warm them as much as possible, he put this hand on his face, he sobbed, whimpered. Sima Yi and the others stood outside the prison and did not go in.

Man Zhong sighed, looked at Sima Yi, and said, "Yuan Gong is a capable minister, he shouldn't end up like this." ”

Sima Yi didn't speak, just squinted his eyes and observed the surrounding court soldiers.

Suddenly, they heard a heart-rending cry coming from inside the prison.

Man Zhong was a little uneasy, and he said, "Sima Jun, I want to go and see... He...", Sima Yi shook his head, waited for a while, Sima Yi felt that the time was almost the same, and walked in, when he entered, Yuan Shang was already crying, crying louder and louder, from whimpering, until he cried out of shape, seeing Yuan Shang's appearance, Sima Yi slowly walked to his side, Sima Yi opened his mouth and said:

"Xianfu, don't worry, I will definitely find the thief who killed your father, and I will help him avenge..."

Yuan Shang turned his head, his eyes were red, and asked, "You say, someone mutilated my father?" And my brother? ”

"That's right, so the news of Sikong's death still needs to be concealed for a few days... I don't know if Yuan Jun can..."

"You mean, you want me to pretend not to know and throw my father and brother in this prison for a few days?"

"Don't be angry, it's all for revenge, to find out who is behind the scenes..."

Yuan Shang shook his head, he wiped away his tears, leaned down, grabbed Yuan Shao's arm, pulled him up violently, and quickly bent down again, carrying Yuan Shao on his back, he looked at Yuan Tan again, and said, "Please Zhongda take a hand..."

Man Chong was waiting in front of the door, turned his head to look, Yuan Shang was walking out of the prison with difficulty, he hung Yuan Shao on his back, held Yuan Tan in his arms, and walked out of the prison with two people, Sima Yi was also behind him, Sima Yi frowned, Yuan Shang's actions obviously sabotaged his plan, Sima Yi said: "Yuan Jun wants to let those wicked people go for the sake of a momentary feeling?" ”

"The Yuan family's enmity... The Yuan family came to report... You don't need help... Whoever murders my loved ones... I won't let him go...", Yuan Shang gritted his teeth, talking as he walked, the soldiers on the side wanted to come to help him, but he was also rudely pushed away, Sima Yi looked at him, looked at Man Zhong helplessly, and said: "Man Jun, stop him!" ”

When Man Zhong heard this, he was stunned, looked at Yuan Shang in front of him, and then looked at Sima Yi, Sima Yi frowned, and said, "I have Your Majesty's order to investigate Sikong's case." ”

Man Zhong stood helplessly in front of Yuan Shang, with his hand on his waist.

Yuan Shang didn't pay attention to him at all, and just walked towards the door.

"Xianfu, don't embarrass me, stop, or I'll shoot an arrow!"

"Stop!!"

"Stop!!"

"All ready to !!"

Full Pet shouted, and the soldiers raised their bows and crossbows one after another, aiming at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang didn't speak, just carried his father, hugged his brother, and left here step by step, "Father, brother, I'll take you home...", Yuan Shang's eyes rolled down tears, but his face gradually became resolute, gritted his teeth, looked ahead, and took two people with him, as for disappearing.

Until the end, the full pet who gritted his teeth was also hesitating, and still failed to give the order to shoot arrows.

Man Zhong turned his head, looked at Sima Yi, took off the official seal, and said:

"Today, I am derelict in my duty, and I will ask Your Majesty for my guilt."
