Chang'an, Imperial Palace

As the time entered September, the weather in the north began to gradually cool down, and in the palace, Liu Yi originally designed a special heating stove below, but this month, it was not enough to use, so it was the coldest at this time.

Liu Chan held the small stove and knelt on the throne, shivering coldly, but he had to make a majestic attitude and listen to the reports of the ministers.

Since the start of the war this year, it has been more than half a year, and there have been victories and defeats between the Han and Cao Wei, but most of the time, there are more victories and fewer defeats, and so far, more than 70 cities have been captured, which can be regarded as having the upper hand.

However, if you want to say that you will definitely win, it is not necessarily, the battle between the great powers, there are many aspects of victory and defeat, although the Han is strong now, it is not strong enough to be able to crush the Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, Liu Chan is a little worried about what the attitude of Dongwu is now, although at present, it seems to be very honest, and even Sun Quan sent envoys to worship last month, but this kind of thing, Liu Chan does not believe very much, Jiangdong shows weakness seems to have become a practice, not credible.

"Your Majesty." A courtier suddenly came out and said with some hesitation: "I wonder if Your Majesty has heard the rumors in the market recently?" ”

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Liu Chan originally used Liu Yi's opinion, in order to be able to listen to and believe partially, he specially set up a department similar to Cao Wei's school office, called Listening to the Supervisor, specifically responsible for Liu Chan, not participating in court politics, not subject to anyone's control, it is regarded as a separate court, specifically for Liu Chan to be responsible for collecting public opinion, recently it has been rumored that Liu Yi supports the army and is self-respecting, and refuses to send troops.

After all, compared to the hot fight in the Central Plains, although Liu Yi took Hanoi and Jiang Wei had already fought to the Jinyang area in Bingzhou, Liu Yi's main force was immovable, and he confronted Sima Yi in Yanjin, and there were several skirmishes.

This inevitably makes people think a lot, and even different versions come out, without explicitly, but the spearhead is directly aimed at the two ministers and three princes today, plus Liu Cheng is now emerging from the army and showing good military talent, Liu Yi's influence in the DPRK and China has reached a rather terrifying level.

In addition, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were included, and various versions appeared on this basis, which became more and more widespread among the people.

Now the remarks circulating in the market are put in the court, which shows how far these rumors have come.

"I heard that." Liu Chan nodded with a smile and said: "But I'm also very curious, the people of Chang'an have been rich all these years, but it's not that there is nothing to do, why are these people so idle, even the ministers of the court and the central government don't know something, but what they are talking about is the Tao?" If you are a small person, you can know the overall situation of the world, the major events in the court, but no one knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Furnishings? ”

"The ministers are guilty!!" The ministers were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"What is the sin?" Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Get up, I say this, not to say that the princes are useless, but to tell the princes, the people's hearts, naturally it is a major event of the imperial court, but this public opinion, but this public opinion, but the meaning of the servant shooting, I understand, but have the princes ever thought about whether this public opinion is right, if the court acts according to the public opinion, the people may not be able to get benefits, and the public opinion is very easy to be agitated, this is good, suddenly rumors are spreading, maybe it is the conspiracy of the Wei Dynasty, if according to the public opinion, I have to change the commander, but if it really does this, The princes came to tell me that among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people could replace Sikong in the battle? ”

"This ......" The ministers looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know how to answer, although Liu Yi was a little cowardly, but replacing Liu Yi might not necessarily win.

"As for the rumors among the people......" Liu Chan smacked his lips and said: "Although it is a little bad to talk about celebrities behind this, but if you think about the battles that Sikong has fought over the years, which big battle is not like this?" The people don't know the reason, and they use the army in the air, but you still don't understand? ”

When the ministers heard this, many people couldn't help laughing, indeed, Liu Yi's style is like this, keep until you are uncomfortable, take the initiative to expose your flaws, and then do it.

Of course, if you count opponents like Liu Du, Han Xuan or Song Jian back then, then there is no way to talk about it, basically Liu Yi encounters similar opponents, they are all defense-oriented, and rarely take the initiative to attack.

"As for saying that Sikong has troops and is ......self-respecting," Liu Chan touched his chin and counted: "Let's not talk about when my father was alive, let's just say that since I succeeded to the throne, Sikong destroyed the Xianbei Tuoba Department and subdued the Xiongnu, and the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized under his command were not less than now, and even the land of the Hetao could only recognize Sikong at that time, and Sikong could have half of the military power?" ”

"Later, Sikong went to the Western Regions, the territory of ten thousand miles, how far away is Dawan, Zhugong should know better than me, after taking Dawan, what did Sikong do for the first time, do you still remember?" Liu Chan looked at the ministers and asked.

At that time, Liu Yi said politely, as long as he said a word, he would immediately be able to list the territory and seal the territory, become the lord of the Western Regions, and even establish a country, and there were 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and he also established diplomatic relations with Kangju, Guishan and even Great Qin, but Liu Yi did not do this, but immediately delegated power and concentrated on his construction.

"I've been suspicious of Sikong, too." Liu Chan smiled calmly: "Because my father said when he died of illness, I can doubt anyone, but I can't doubt Sikong, I was very puzzled at the time, but now, I gradually figured it out, Sikong is not interested in power and wealth, what he wants is a complete and strong man, he has been doing this all these years, so ah, Sikong will live up to me, I will live up to Sikong, and I dare to guarantee that once this battle is won, Sikong will immediately put down his military power." ”

"The minister is guilty!" Shang Shufu hurriedly bowed and said.

Obviously, it is impossible for Liu Chan to change the commander on the spot.

"Not guilty." Liu Chan shook his head and smiled: "Human nature, but please also remember that the universe is orderly, yin and yang are lawful, and what the court wants to do is to guide the people, not to be guided by the people, if so, isn't it that the universe is reversed, and the yin and yang are disordered?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers bowed.

Li Yan gritted his teeth, and finally sighed a little helplessly, Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, these three mountains, he always thought that Liu Yi was the most moving one, and now it seems that Liu Yi seems to be the most difficult to move one, and these three people are still there one day.

According to the original plan, if Liu Chan can be suspicious this time, he is the most likely person to replace Liu Yi, after all, although Zhuge Liang has strategy, he has no experience in leading troops alone, and the other two of the three dukes, Huang Quan and Liu Ba are not too handsome, at least Li Yan has never taken these two people seriously.

Pull Liu Yi down and replace himself as handsome, if he can defeat Sima Yi, his prestige will be no less than that of Sangong, now it seems that it is not easy to pull down Liu Yi, the most important thing is that Liu Chan's trust in Liu Yi is too strong, Liu Chan does not have this idea, no matter how much he does, it is useless, fortunately he did not expose himself.

"If there is nothing else, the princes will retreat." Liu Chan didn't care, got up and smiled.

"The ministers are leaving." Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, the ministers bowed to Liu Chan and retired in turn.

When Zhuge Liang returned home, he saw his wife and daughter-in-law waiting for him, and when he saw Zhuge Liang coming back, he said respectfully: "Father." ”

"Ming'er is here to ask about Bo Yuan, right?" Looking at Liu Ming, Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Ming'er was afraid that her father would be too tired in the early dynasty, so she came to see her father." Liu Cheng obediently helped Zhuge Liang take over the clothes.

"You, I watched you grow up, you can hide your mind from others, but you can't hide it from me? If you don't ask, that's it. The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and smiled.

"Mother~" Liu Ming couldn't help it, pulled Huang Yueying's sleeve and said coquettishly.

"Looking at the husband's face, I think it's okay." Huang Yueying poured a tea ceremony for Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"If you want to say that there is nothing to do, in fact, it is not necessarily." Zhuge Liang shook his head, the recent rumors about Liu Yi's self-respect for the army have caused a storm in the city, and Liu Ming has lost weight in a hurry: "But I don't want to say much about this matter." ”

"Your Majesty is quite heroic today, so you won't be moved by rumors, right?" Huang Yueying wondered.

Although Liu Chan's performance since he succeeded to the throne is not very eye-catching, he has governed the court in an orderly manner and has done well in terms of employing people.

"Naturally not." Zhuge Liang nodded, Liu Chan has done an extremely good job in this regard, of course, there must be an indispensable analysis behind the scenes.

"In short, Bo Yuan is fine, and His Majesty has a lot of trust in Bo Yuan." After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang didn't say all the words in his heart after all.

Liu Chan is extremely respectful of Liu Yi in the court, this is partly sincere, but it is by no means all, Liu Chan is praising Liu Yi, holding Liu Yi high, but because of this, it is equivalent to putting Liu Yi in the eyes of everyone, and using morality to support Liu Yi, once Liu Yi does something harmful to the court, he will immediately lose people's hearts and become targeted by everyone, which is tantamount to taking everyone to see Liu Yi, I have to say that this trick is very clever, and for Liu Yi, there is actually no actual loss, Based on Zhuge Liang's friendship with Liu Yi for more than 30 years, and his understanding of Liu Yi, Liu Yi's desire for power is very low, and he generally does not have such thoughts.

In that case, why bother to say such a thing? If you don't see through it, between the monarch and the minister, it can be regarded as the best result to get to this point.

Do you really expect the king to trust him unconditionally?

"However, although this matter may be Sima Yi's scheme, if no one responds to the DPRK, it will not be rumors everywhere overnight." Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang picked up the feather fan in his hand: "Bo Yuan and Shi Yuan are killing the enemy on the front line, although Liang is not talented, let's help Bo Yuan stabilize the rear." ”

"Husband?" Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Liang and frowned slightly.

"It's also for me." Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The day of the unification of the world is not far away, and some people who can't see the general trend clearly, it's time to clean up the game!" ”
