Liu Bei noticed his son Liu Chan's movements, smiled at him, and asked:

"Adou, you often talk about Jiang Wei, if your father transfers him to the East Palace to serve as a servant, are you willing?"

Liu Chan hadn't answered yet, but Zhuge Liang on the side had a hint of meaning.

Jiang Wei has gone through a series of performances before and after the Battle of Jingzhou, and his ability to command and govern the army has been seen at a glance.

In his opinion, this son should be transferred from Yulinwei and sent to the Hubu Battalion of the Chinese Army, at least as the commander of the battalion, so as to give full play to his talents.

I don't want the lord to want to transfer him to the prince's side to serve.

Zhuge Liang has always been wise, after a little thought, he immediately understood that Jiang Wei is still young, not a few years older than the prince Liu Chan, the lord is cultivating Jiang Wei as the future minister of the humerus, this is the minister of the reserve residence for the prince Liu Chan.

At this time, Liu Chan said: "If General Jiang is willing to come, the child will naturally be extremely happy. But the child also heard that General Jiang had made great contributions in Jingzhou, and if he stayed by the child's side, he was afraid that he would be wronged and that his future would be delayed. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was very relieved that the prince could put himself in the shoes of his subordinates, and he was wise and benevolent.

Liu Bei patted Liu Chan on the back and said slowly: "As long as you are willing, everything will be arranged for your father." ”

After a pause, he instructed, "Also, he saved your life in the end." When he comes back one day, it is reasonable that you should come to the door in person to thank you, understand? ”

Liu Chan nodded yes.

Zhuge Liang knew that there were only a few subordinate officials of the prince, and Jiang Wei's appointment could be roughly judged, thinking that he still had the position of the prince and the prince, he was afraid that he would have to deal with this son in the future.

Liu Bei stroked his beard lightly and said, "As for the Jufu, Wang Ping, and Xiang Pet recommended by Boyo, they are indeed quite talented. Well, since Boyo is going to serve Adou, then move the sentence to help the general, and take charge of Lin Zuocheng; Wang Pingtong moved to a partial general, incorporated the Shangyong soldiers into the Chinese army, and set up a new battalion of Hubu front battalion, with Ping as the governor; As for Xiang Pet—"

Liu Bei paused and said slowly: "In the Battle of Yiling, our army suffered a lot fewer casualties, which shows that the ambulance battalion created by Boyo is indeed excellent. It can be moved to the pet as the tooth keeper, and still lead the ambulance battalion, and promote this system before the Chinese army. ”

Zhuge Liang silently remembered it in his heart, bowed down and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

Liu Bei talked for a long time, his mouth was slightly dry, so he raised the teacup in front of the case and drank water, and asked casually: "Is there anything unusual in Shu these days?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Others are fine, but for some reason, prices have soared sharply recently, and the people have complained." ”

Liu Bei put down the teacup, frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The minister is still under investigation, and no clues have been found yet." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I've been busy these days, and I've really worked hard for you." Hey, in fact, when it comes to the way of financial management and breeding, Liu Ba is the best at it, and if he is willing to make a move, he can take this matter away. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of annoyance suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in an unkind tone:

"It's just that this stinky old man's temper is stinky and weird, and he has never looked down on Lonely. Since that day, he has been saying that he is sick at home and is unwilling to come out of the council, which is really resentful. ”

Zhuge Liang was relieved: "Ma Jichang will be able to reach Jinguan City in a few days." He has a friendship with Liu Zichu (Liu Bazi), and when the minister arrives, he asks him to come forward to persuade one or two, and it will be effective. ”

Liu Bei hated and nagged again, so he gave up.

The two of them talked for a while, and Liu Bei suddenly asked about Mi Zhu's situation.

Mi Zhu is the elder brother of Mi Fang, the former Nanjun Taishou, and the father of Mi Wei, the general of Yulin Zhonglang, when he learned that Guan Yu's army was defeated because of his younger brother Mi Fang's dedication to the city, he immediately pleaded guilty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was generous, and never punished him for his brother's sake, but kept comforting him and treated him as before.

Later, he was in a hurry to prepare for the Eastern Crusade, and after the Eastern Crusade, he even fell ill, and it was not until this time that his body recovered a little, and he had time to think of this friend in distress.

Zhuge Liang returned: "I was about to tell the lord that Mi Zizhong felt deeply guilty, and took his son Mi Wei to close the door to thank the guests, but now he is seriously ill and it is difficult to get out of bed." ”

Liu Bei was shocked: "Back then, the orphan was poor and destitute, but Meng Zizhong did not give up, and scattered all his family wealth to work, so that the orphan could be reinvigorated. Lone is only grateful to him, never blames him, he... Why is he here! ”

He got up and paced twice, and then said, "Kong Ming, you can make arrangements, you have to visit Zizhong these days." ”

Zhuge Liang bowed down and said two words of relief, and Liu Bei calmed down a little.

Saying these many words, the internal and external affairs were mostly communicated, Zhuge Liang was about to retire, and a guard ran quickly outside the hall, bowed down and hugged his fists:

"Your Highness, the deputy general asks to see you!" The deputy general of the army is Liu Feng's official position.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, with surprised expressions on their faces.

During the Great War of Yiling in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao took the three counties of Shangyong in the north, conquered the north and guarded Shen, and the Xicheng Taishou Shenyi and Meng Da all surrendered to Cao Wei, and there was no news of Liu Feng alone, which made Liu Bei very worried for a while, and thought that Liu Feng was killed by Cao Cao.

I didn't think that after more than a month, Liu Feng actually returned to Shuzhong and asked to see him.

Liu Bei didn't think about it, and was about to summon him, when he suddenly heard Zhuge Liang interrupt: "The lord is slow!" ”

Liu Bei turned his face to face Zhuge Liang, revealing an inquiring look.

Zhuge Liang was expressionless, and said in a deep voice: "The minister has something important to report, please ask the prince to rest for a while." ”

Liu Bei had worked with him for a long time, and when he saw him like this, he knew that he had something secret to play, so he immediately ordered Liu Chan to retreat first, and then said:

"Now there are only you and me here, what does Kong Ming say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhuge Liang asked slowly: "I don't know where the lord wants to put the young general?" ”

Liu Bei heard it and was speechless for a while.

He understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

Before Meng Da surrendered, he once sent someone to bring a letter of "Farewell to the King of Hanzhong", in which he first praised the great cause and ambition of the King of Hanzhong, and then gave a lot of examples of his ancestors in the past dynasties, showing that he was ambitious and talented, and could not keep up with the great ambition and pace of the King of Hanzhong, and begged the King of Hanzhong to let him go free; In the end, he also sprayed Liu Feng for bullying and attacking, to whitewash his own defection to the enemy.

In short, the letter basically means: the world is so big, I want to see it.

After Liu Bei read this letter, he immediately saw through Meng Da's hypocritical character: Cao Cao came, he had 4,000 elite soldiers, and he surrendered to become Meng Da of Wei without fighting, which shows that there is no loyalty, righteousness and shame in his heart.

In the face of Cao Cao, I am afraid that if Wu Jun comes, this guy will not hesitate to change the court and become Wu Zhi Mengda.

But this letter made him resentful of Meng Da at the same time, but also learned the fact that Liu Feng bullied his colleagues.

Moreover, in the later period of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, Liu Feng was unable to rush to Guan Yu's aid, and finally relied on Jiang Wei to seize his military power, so that Guan Yu escaped from the encirclement and suppression of Eastern Wu and ascended to heaven.

Therefore, Liu Feng made a big mistake during the period of guarding Shangyong.

At this time, although Liu Bei was angry that Liu Feng was short-sighted, but in the end, it was a father-son relationship of more than ten years, and when he suddenly heard that Liu Feng was still alive, his first reaction was more joy than anger.

But Zhuge said, "Where do you want to put the young general", which was like a basin of cold water, which made him completely calm down.

Liu Bei lightly twisted Shu Lang's beard, thought for a while, and still had no idea, so he could only ask:

"According to Kong Ming's opinion, how should I deal with it?"

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "The prince has a harmonious personality, and Liu Feng has a strong temperament, arrogant and strong, called the prince's brother. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

Although the title of Liu Chan's prince has been decided at this time, after a hundred years, according to the temperament of Liu Chan and Liu Feng's two sons, it may really be possible to cause a crisis in the inheritance incident.

Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear, rather than leaving some hidden dangers to future generations to solve, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible.

After all, licking calves is deep, and no matter how close the adopted son is, how can it matter if you have a son? Liu Bei thought that he was old after all, and he didn't know how many years he could take care of it.

He frowned and pondered for a long time, and a resolute look gradually appeared on his face.
