Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang thought, he just walked into his own mansion, he quarreled with Rao Yang, Rao Yang was very angry, pointed at him, and scolded unceremoniously, after many years, she finally showed her arrogance as the eldest princess again, of course, the reason why she was angry was also very simple, it was because of Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Liang came back by himself, but Zhuge Zhan was left by him in the snow field outside the Saiwai.

"How can you leave him alone?!" , Rao Yang asked angrily, remembering that her heart was being attacked by the cold winter outside the plug, her eyes were filled with tears, she hadn't seen her son for four years, you came back by yourself, if you don't bring your son, then what are you doing when you come back? ?

Zhuge Liang was very wise not to debate with her, years of experience told him that no matter what he said, it would not work, Rao Yang could always find some strange reasons to refute himself, Zhuge Zhan had grown up, what he needed was to experience more suffering, only those who experienced suffering could grow up quickly, there was no other way.

He ignored Rao Yang's questioning, sat in the courtyard, just drinking tea, finally, Rao Yang cried helplessly, and even his little daughter cried together, Zhuge Liang couldn't sit still after all, and stepped forward to help his wife, "Don't worry, he will be back soon, Your Majesty has sent someone to replace him, alas...", Zhuge Liang sighed, I don't know why, but, hearing his words, Rao Yang finally quieted down.

The Son of Heaven gave him ten days of vacation so that he could spend time with his family and rest for a good life.

In fact, Zhuge Liang only rested for two days, on the third day, His Royal Highness the Prince had already come to his house, Rao Yang was very happy, let the servants at home prepare some food, so that he could entertain Hu'er, Hu'er was also followed by a young man, it is said that he is the prince of the East Palace, Zhuge Liang recognized him, this is a good young man, it is said that he was born in military science, and later made great achievements in the Southern Army, and was called Jiang Wei.

"My lord, I heard that my father wants to do something to Guishuang, is my lord personally responsible for this matter?"

"I'm in charge. Your Highness, however, how did Your Highness know about this? ”

"Father told me, my lord, then I have a chance to go to war? I also want to go to the Kushan. ”

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said seriously: "Of course, if Your Highness can go to Liangzhou with the old ministers, it will be a matter that can improve the morale of the local people and the military..."

"I don't want to go to Liangzhou, I want to go to Guishuang, I will definitely be able to win the first credit." , Hu'er slapped his chest, sounding extremely confident, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Highness's bravery, the minister knows, however, Guishan is weak and vulnerable, the real danger does not come from the enemy, but the heat, beasts, miasma and the like there, where it is easy to get sick... The danger comes from the invisible."

"I think Your Majesty is so brave, if you encounter this invisible danger in Guishan, and then you are critically ill at home and can't get up, it will be a pity." , Zhuge Liang said slowly, sure enough, when Zhuge Liang said these things, Hu'er thought of his sick lying on the bed, so he couldn't help but shudder, and didn't say these things anymore, but asked: "I heard that Guishuang's army even breeds fierce beasts to fight?" ”

"Yes, there is a fierce beast in Guishan, called as a master, in the first year of Emperor Xiaozhang Zhanghe, the country of peace sent this thing into the court, and then, when conquering Guishan, the Kushan people also paid tribute to this beast, this beast is mighty...."

Hu'er listened carefully, and then asked a few questions, for Hu'er's question, no matter what it was about, Zhuge Liang could answer it fluently, as if there was nothing he didn't know, Zhuge Liang's performance made Hu'er even more admired, and after chatting for a long time, Hu'er looked at Jiang Wei on the side with a smile and asked: "My lord, I'm a housekeeper, can I follow you to learn the principles of governance?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at the young man standing behind him, "Please forgive the minister for being rude, the minister already has a protégé, not to mention, the minister will be extremely busy these days, and he will not have the opportunity to teach others anymore...", for his answer, although Hu'er was a little regretful, he did not persuade again.

"Then if the adults go to Liangzhou, who should stay in this temple to govern?" , Hu'er asked again.

"Naturally, it is Sima Linggong who will serve as the person."

"He? Hehe...", Hu'er snorted coldly, for some reason, he seemed to be a little hostile to Sima Yi.

For a period of time afterward, Hu'er stayed by Zhuge Liang's side, and it wasn't until Zhuge Liang officially started working that Hu'er didn't dare to continue to bother him.

In the first month of the twenty-first year of Yankang, Saiwai once again ushered in the cold world, in addition, he also ushered in a young man who was ready to show his talents, Yuan Yao was wearing a thick cotton coat, dressed like a bear, he received the edict of the Son of Heaven before, set off from the sea, and after arriving in Ningzhou, he came to the first city outside the Saiwai non-stop.

This place is called Pingdong County, the thick snow on the ground, there is no trace of trampling, which proves that the population here is not much, and there is no one walking around at the moment, Yuan Yao took people, and walked into the county so casually, no one came out to ask who he was, and no one stopped him, on the city wall, two soldiers could be vaguely seen roasting the fire, stamping their feet from time to time, but they didn't care about the pedestrians below.

Rushing to the county office like this, Yuan Yao got off the horse, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

The gate of the county government was closed, which made Yuan Yao feel a little funny, he had never seen such a strange thing all the way from overseas, he knocked on the door for a long time, and no one even opened the door, what kind of county office is this? If something happens at this moment, or if people come to ask for help, is it just the way the government wants to treat it? Yuan Yao frowned and beat for a long time.

Several curses rang out from the county office, as well as the sound of footsteps stamping on the snow.

"Early in the morning, what are you knocking on here?! It's not time for soup kitchens yet!! A small official walked out of the door, scolded angrily, and saw Yuan Yao and his party head-on, he was immediately stunned, frowned, looked at him, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask, who are you?" ”

"I'm Yuan Yao."

"Yuan... Yuan Junshou?? The man suddenly sobered up, Zhuge Liang's expedition, a total of forty-seven cities were established outside the Saiwai, with Pingdong City as the governing place, and Xia County was established, different cities were supported by different states, such as the whereabouts of prisoners, but these counties as the cities of Xia County, they had to obey the Taishou, before Yuan Yao never came, only one Zhuge Zhan served as a fake guard, that is, "temporary Taishou".

"It turned out to be Yuan Jun!! Zhuge Jun often mentions your things with us! Yuan Yao looked at the empty county government and asked, "You are alone in the county office?" Haven't the officials made up for it? ”

"It's made up, it's been too cold these days, so Zhuge Jun let them go back to rest... I'll be left alone to take care of the outsiders... However, there are very few people who will go out at this time...", the little official said, let Yuan Yao wait for a while, and he ran to the backyard, Yuan Yao waited for a long time, only to see Zhuge Zhan yawning and walking towards him in a daze.

Seeing his old friend again, Zhuge Zhan was obviously very happy, he opened his hands, smiled and walked over, wanting to give Yuan Yao a big hug.

"Someone! Take it for me! Yuan Yao shouted angrily.

In Zhuge Zhan's stunned eyes, two elite soldiers rushed out behind Yuan Yao, and directly pressed Zhuge Zhan and the little official to the ground, Zhuge Zhan couldn't help but tremble, and shouted: "Yuan Yao, it's me!" This ground is too cold, let me go!! Yuan Yao looked at the soldiers on the side and said, "Let that little official take you and call all the officials in the county to me!" ”

"How can you retreat because of the wind and cold?"

"I just stood here waiting for them... Those who refuse to obey orders will be punished on the spot! ”

"Respectfully!"

Seeing Yuan Yao's subordinates escorting the petty official away, Zhuge Zhan also understood Yuan Yao's plan in his heart, although he was lazy, he was still very smart, he raised his head helplessly, and said tremblingly: "You just want to be Liwei, don't use me to Liwei... More than ten years of friendship, you use me like this! Seeing Zhuge Zhan's trembling appearance, Yuan Yao didn't say anything, frowned, and said seriously.

"You are really disgraced to Shijun!"

"Shijun asked you to stay here just so that you can govern the border plug like this? Now that the roads are heavily covered with snow, even the rest of the states have to transport grain, I feel that the carriage can't get in, and besides, what are the soldiers on the city wall doing, I took people in, and no one checked them, so what if it was a Xianbei person? There is only one person left in the county office, you are really a genius... What if something happens? ”

"It's winter now, even thieves don't dare to go out, what you said can't happen!" , Zhuge Zhan was not convinced.

"I don't care if the thieves will go out or not, but I know that the officials of the Han Dynasty can get out of the city... If you read more, you will know that not far away in Xinjiao County, there is a temple with seven officials, where they were frozen into sculptures..."

"Well, needless to say, my fault... Although nothing happened during this period of time...", Zhuge Zhan said nonchalantly, with a trace of sleepiness in his eyes, he finally sent his father away, he didn't want to continue to listen to others to educate him, even if he was lazy, he didn't have an accident, he obviously knew the severity, he thought so.

Yuan Yao let out a long sigh and didn't say much.

After a while, the officials in the county government rushed here, and everyone bowed to Yuan Yao, and then stood in front of Yuan Yao according to their official positions, and two soldiers carried bloody heads, and also walked in front of Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao squinted his eyes, looked at everyone, and said: "Zhuge Zhan privately let you go home, neglect political affairs, and be beheaded according to the law, but you can remember that he is not an official county guard... Exempt him from the death penalty, immediately remove him from office, and expel him from Xia County! ”

Zhuge Zhan raised his head, and he was extremely happy in his heart, he was finally going to leave here??

Yuan Yao looked at the rest of the people and said seriously: "From today on, I will personally lead the monarchs to govern this land, I will not take a day off, whether it is clearing the snow or treating the victims, I will be at the forefront... I, Yuan Yao, swear to heaven that within five years, I will definitely make this place prosperous and stable! The rest of the states and counties are no longer needed to bail out!! If I can't do it, I'd rather shepherd here for the rest of my life!! ”

At this moment, Zhuge Zhan suddenly discovered that the bastard boy in the former county was actually releasing a light as his name at this moment.
