Chapter 124: Lobbying Li Yan (II)
Zhuge Liang didn't wait long, Li Yan opened the door of the mansion and almost rushed out to greet him.
"Kong Ming is here, making the humble house shine, sir, please come in!"
Li Yan's attitude was very respectful, and his tone was also very friendly.
At this time, Li Yan was just a small warden after all, and Zhuge Kongming, even if his family was in the middle of the road, he was also a big family, and his connections in Jingxiang were not something that he Li Yan could compare, nor could he offend.
What's more, the seven counties of Jingxiang are now circulating, and the legends about Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan are circulating!
Zhuge Liang looked at Li Yan, which was obviously different from the memory of the original owner.
The Li Yan in my memory, when he returned to Uncle Liu Huang, it was fifteen or sixteen years later, and Li Yan was already over forty years old at that time. Today's Li Yan is indeed a young version, maybe twenty-five or sixteen years old, maybe thirty years old.
He was dressed neatly and neatly, and he still had a two-inch short beard under his chin.
"Take the liberty of bothering below, it's better not to be surprised!" Zhuge Liang arched his hand and smiled.
Li Yan said with a smile while leading the way: "Zhuge Kongming, now he is famous in the world, and he has admired him for a long time, and he has long wanted to visit Mr. To see Mr. today, Li Yan has been fortunate for three lifetimes! ”
The tone is still very respectful, and the attitude is surprisingly good
Entering the main hall, Li Yan and Zhuge Liang sat down on the left and right.
The seats in this era are still very interesting.
Under normal circumstances, the host with a high status will sit directly in the middle of the main seat. If the status of the host's family is lower than that of the guest, he can only sit under the table on the left and right, and the host's family at this time cannot sit in the middle of the main seat, otherwise it is disrespectful.
For example, when Zhuge Liang visited Liu Jingzhou, Liu Biao sat in the middle of the main seat, and then Zhuge Liang sat in the guest seat on the left.
Now, Li Yan's status is indeed inferior to his Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, Li Yan could only sit with Zhuge Liang on the left and right.
……
"Mr. is driving to the cold house, I don't know what advice you have?" After the old servant served tea, Li Yan asked directly.
Li Yan is self-aware.
Zhuge Kongming didn't know him Li Yansu, but he suddenly visited today, there must be something.
As for what it was, Li Yan couldn't guess.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhuge Liangwei frowned slightly.
Nowadays, the method of roasting tea has spread in Jingxiang, and most of the tea sold on the market is roasted tea.
But this tea of Li Yan's family seems to have died last year's old tea.
Of course, this is not Li Yan's inconsiderate hospitality, but with Li Yan's family background, I am afraid that I will not be able to get good tea.
Putting down the teacup, Zhuge Liang looked at Li Yan, and then replied to the question: "I have already gone out of the mountain to assist Uncle Liu Huang, I don't know if Brother Zhengfang can know about this matter?" ”
Li Yan bowed.
Li Yan did know about this matter.
Now, who in the Jingxiangshi human world doesn't know that Zhuge Kongming has come out of the mountain?
It's just that everyone regrets that the object of Zhuge Kongming's assistance out of the mountain is actually Liu Bei, who is poor and white!
You must know that with Zhuge Kongming's talent and Zhuge Kongming's connections in Jingxiang, if he is in Jingxiang, the minimum is a county order. Many people still think that Liu Jingzhou is only afraid that he will directly appoint Zhuge Kongming as the county guard, right?
Li Yan served as a warden in Xiangyang City, three sects and nine streams, and everyone would deal with him, so he naturally knew the news.
However, Li Yan's view on this matter is different from Jing Xiang's mainstream view.
"What kind of intelligence is Zhuge Kongming?"
"Since he chose Liu Bei, I think Liu Bei also has something extraordinary, right?"
This is what Li Yan thinks.
Of course, Jingzhou's prospects are bleak, which Li Yan can't see at the moment.
He just thinks that Zhuge Kongming is a master, and the master must act differently!
……
"Many people think that I, Zhuge Kongming, assisted Uncle Liu Huang, but I am a pearl." Zhuge Liang continued.
Li Yan still nodded. This is indeed the general view of the Jingxiangshi human world.
Zhuge Liang sneered: "The eyes of the rats are inch, how can the summer insects talk about ice?" ”
"As everyone knows, Liu Jingzhou is now dying, but the eldest son is not the material of the master, and it is impossible for the Cai family to let him succeed Jingxiang; And the young boy is still in his prime. Once Liu Jingzhou dies, who is the lord of Jingxiang? ”
"Besides, the decisive battle in the north is imminent, and once the war ends, the strongest overlord will inevitably be born in the north."
"At that time, the strong enemy in the north will be eyeing each other, Jingxiang will inevitably have internal and external troubles, and non-human beings can return to the sky."
"Brother Zhengfang, imagine what is the future of Jing Xiang?"
"Although Liu Jingzhou is my uncle-in-law, I, Zhuge Kongming, am not a fool, how can I get involved in the quagmire of Jingxiang?"
Zhuge Liang only said a few words, but Li Yan was shocked.
Jing Xiang's prospect was indeed something he Li Yan didn't expect.
Today, what he never forgets is to make some achievements in the position of a warden, and then change his position.
However, now that Zhuge Kongming said this, Li Yan was full of bitterness.
What if he turns positive?
Jing Xiang's future is bleak, even if he Li Yan is a county commander and a county guard, how long can he be there?
Jing Xiang, sooner or later, will be merged by others!
Li Yan did not doubt Zhuge Kongming's analysis.
He, Li Yan, is not a fool, he just didn't think about Jing Xiang's prospects before. Now, as long as he uses a little snack and is woken up, Li Yan knows that Jingxiang's future is bleak, which is an indisputable fact.
……
After the bitterness, Fu Ling's heart was full, and Li Yan looked at Zhuge Liang with blazing eyes.
Zhuge Kongming, who had never been in contact with him, suddenly came to visit today, was it just to describe the prospects of Jingzhou to Li Yan to him?
Sure enough, I only heard Zhuge Kongming continue: "Among the only three remaining princes of the Han family today, Uncle Liu Huang has not forgotten the roots. Uncle Liu Huang aspires to rejuvenate the Han family, but he lacks a foundation. ”
"At present, Uncle Liu Huang has captured half of Hanzhong, and the foundation is not bad, but there is a lack of talents."
"Jingxiang has a lot of talents, but Liu Jingzhou has not been able to reuse them, so that talents like Brother Zhengfang are still stumbling on the wardens."
"I came here today to be a lobbyist for my lord."
"Brother Zhengfang is talented, and he can only stumble in Jingxiang. And under the command of my father-in-law, he can just show his strengths. ”
"How to choose, please think carefully about it."
After that, Zhuge Liang endured the bitter taste buds and poured a sip of tea.
On the other side, Li Yan's eyes were indeed blazing.
How to choose?
For Li Yan, it was not a problem.
Jingxiang's future is bleak, he Li Yan continues to stay in Jingxiang, what is the way out?
Since Uncle Liu Huang is also a prince of the clan, and now he is a lobbyist in person with this card, what if he Li Yan defected to Uncle Liu Huang?
Of course, Li Yan also has a little abacus in his heart, Zhuge Kongming and other masters have all gone out of the mountain to assist Uncle Liu Huang, and he, Li Yan, is following behind, so he can always have a mouthful of soup to drink, right?
