Chapter 404: Kong Ming's Envoy
The early dynasty retreated.
Sima Yi returned home.
As soon as Sima Yi returned to the house, his son Sima Zhao was a little angry.
"Father, the saint clearly intends to elevate Zhuge Kongming, since he entered the court as an official, the saint has become more and more neglected to you, when has our Sima family suffered such treatment?"
Saying that, Sima Zhao said again: "You must find a way to get rid of Zhuge Kongming, or else, Erchen will arrange for him to be in trouble when he goes to the Song State, and he can't join forces with the Song State, how about it?" β
In Sima Zhao's opinion, if they joined forces with the Wei State and the Song State, it was really possible to destroy the Ming State, and if the Ming State was really destroyed, then Zhuge Kongming's credit would be too great.
However, after Sima Zhao finished saying this, Sima Yi just waved his hand and said: "Okay, even if Zhuge Kongming can persuade the Song State and my Wei State to be the two heads, we will never destroy the Ming Kingdom, let him go, now is not the time to destroy him." β
As smart as Sima Yi, he knows very well what can be done and what cannot be done, and now Wei Cao is trying to extinguish the Ming, so if he opposes it, it is tantamount to touching Wei Cao's scales.
In that case, the situation will not be good, so you might as well bear with it and keep waiting.
As long as he has soldiers and horses in his hands, Wei Cao must put him on the table.
Although Sima Zhao was angry, when he saw his father like this, he could only give up.
East Palace.
After Zhuge Kongming went down to the court, he was called to the East Palace by the crown prince Wei Pi.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, call Weichen to come, I don't know what's going on?" At this time, Zhuge Kongming was not as casual as before.
In the past, he was a strategist, and he didn't have to worry too much, but now that he has become an official in the DPRK and China, he has to be cautious, otherwise he will be too casual here in Wei Pi, and he will definitely be jealous of Wei Pi.
Wei Pi can not worry about a strategist, but he will definitely worry about a minister of the DPRK and China.
A smart person who knows what can and cannot be done.
Wei Pi here, said: "Mr. Zhuge , you want to send an envoy to the Song Kingdom, can you be sure to persuade the Song Emperor?" β
Zhuge Kongming said: "The saint can rest assured, then Song Yuanlang borders the Ming Kingdom, and the temperaments of the two countries are very different, so many things are not compatible, Song Yuanlang is afraid that he has long wanted to fight with the Ming Kingdom, as long as our Wei State makes a move, there is no reason for them not to cooperate." β
Wei Pi sighed, felt that what Zhuge Kongming said made sense, thought about it, and said: "Since this is the case, then the prince wishes Mr. victory." β
Speaking of this, Wei Pi said again: "When will Mr. leave for the Song Kingdom, I will send you." β
"This ...... Don't do it. β
Wei Pi said: "What can't be done, it's decided." β
Zhuge Kongming had no choice but to tell Wei Pi about the time he left.
Wei Pi nodded, indicating that he knew, and indicated that on the day Zhuge Kongming left, he would definitely go to see him off.
After the two of them finished saying this, Zhuge Kongming did not stay in the East Palace for long, and retreated directly.
-------------------------
After Zhuge Kongming returned to the house, he made some preparations, and then, on the third day, he finally set off from the house and rushed to the Song Kingdom.
Today's weather is cold, and the Central Plains don't need to be warm in the north at all, so if you travel, you must make more preparations.
Zhuge Kongming left the house and didn't tell anyone.
At this time, in the East Palace, Wei Pi was busy, and he seemed to be so busy that he forgot about Zhuge Kongming's envoy Song today.
However, while he was busy, a little eunuch reminded him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today Mr. Zhuge left Xudu and went to Lin'an City."
Lin'an City is the capital of the Song Kingdom, and it is a rare prosperous city among the Chinese countries today.
He patted his head and said, "Oh, it's negligent, it's negligent, hurry up, prepare a horse for Prince Ben......"
Although it was a little late, he couldn't help but go to Zhuge Kongming.
Soon, someone brought a fast horse, and Wei Pi rode the fast horse and hurried to the city gate.
At this time, the weather in Xudu was cold, and there were few pedestrians on the street, so Wei Pi rode faster and faster, but at a corner, a carriage suddenly rushed from the front, and Wei Pi's horse almost hit the carriage at once.
Fortunately, the carriage stopped in time, and Wei Pi's side also stopped immediately.
It's just that although the carriage stopped, the brakes were too strong, and the carriage fell directly to the ground, and immediately after, a girl's scream came from the carriage, obviously, the people on the faΓ§ade were frightened.
Wei Pi, on his side, didn't pay much attention to this because he was in a hurry to leave, just glanced at the carriage, and then hurried to the city gate.
For him, this little accident was nothing at all.
Wei Pi left, and the coachman hurriedly got the woman in the carriage out, it was a woman wearing a white coat, the woman was frightened, her face was pale, and the maid next to her was still scolding.
"Walking so doesn't have long eyes, this is also our young lady's fine, if there is something, I have to find you......"
The maid scolded, a cold wind blew, and the woman in the carriage gradually calmed down, her expression was a little bad, she glared at the maid, and said, "That person was the prince just now." β
When these words came out, the maid suddenly shut up, she didn't expect that it was the prince, and he didn't know the prince, but his young lady did.
"Too ...... The prince ......" The maid was startled, but then snorted again: "What about the prince, the relationship between the young lady and the third prince is also unusual, are you still afraid of the prince?" β
The third prince is Wei Zhi, and the maid at this time seems to be very proud of this relationship, but the woman waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, hurry up, the third prince is still waiting." β
The maid snorted, but quickly took the order and left.
The wind in Xu Du became colder and colder, and Wei Pi was still galloping on a fast horse, but he had not forgotten what had just happened.
"That carriage seems to be the carriage of Zhen's mansion, I don't know if the people in the carriage are okay, after sending Mr. Zhuge off, let's go to Zhen's mansion to have a look."
Wei Pi thought in his heart, he went out of the city gate in a short time, and at this time, Zhuge Kongming had not left yet, he was waiting.
Although Wei Pi didn't come for a long time, he was still willing to wait.
Seeing Wei Pi coming, Zhuge Kongming showed a light smile, he didn't care about Wei Pi coming to give him glory, he just hoped that Wei Pi could keep his word.
Now, Wei Pi is here, so he can rest assured.
"Let Mr. Zhuge wait for a long time." "It's enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come............"
