This is the first time Jiang Wei has entered the study of the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong summoned him in the study, which shows the importance of the instrument.

Jiang Wei entered the room, but saw Liu Beigao sitting on the desk, smiling and looking at himself.

At the moment, he abandoned distracting thoughts, bowed down and hugged his fists: "The last general, Jiang Wei, meet the lord and the military advisor." ”

Liu Bei sat up straight, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Boyo has worked hard all the way, where are the people now?" Is the journey smooth? ”

Jiang Wei sighed secretly, he is worthy of being a monarch known for his benevolence, and what he cares about most in his heart is the people.

He immediately replied: "Entrusted to the lord Hongfu, 100,000 soldiers and civilians, under the leadership of Mr. Ji Chang, the journey has been through thick and thin, the road is safe, and he has arrived in Jiangzhou safely three days ago, and he will arrive in Shu County in less than five or seven days." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Ji Chang Zhenshi, known as Lingshi, has him to see the overall situation, and he will be able to ensure the safety of the people along the road." Moreover, the minister sent a messenger to communicate with him every day, but if there was anything, he would know it the next day, and he asked the lord to be relieved and not to bother thinking about it again. ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "It's not that I don't believe in Ji Chang's talent, it's just that my heart has trembled and I have been restless in the past few days, and I don't know what will happen." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wei. It turned out that the two had just met at the gate of the Hanzhong Palace, and they had already exchanged the news that Fa Zheng had died of illness.

He bowed down and clenched his fists, and said slowly: "No matter what news you hear for a while, please take care of the lord and take the overall situation first!" ”

At this time, Jiang Wei took two steps forward and choked up: "Lord Qi, Shang Shuling....Shang Shuling has passed away......

"Ahh

To the surprise of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, after Liu Bei heard this, he just froze in place, and did not cry with grief as expected.

"Filial piety to him... Did he go too......"

Jiang Wei took out a bamboo slip from his arms, which was Fa Zheng's testament, which was all about the resettlement of Jingzhou's soldiers and civilians and the preparation of the Northern Expedition.

Zhuge Liang personally took it and presented it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took it, didn't open it to see, and held it into his arms, stretching out his hand to rub it for a long time. After a long time, Fang waved his hand and said weakly: "Got it." Go down first. Lonely wants to be quiet. ”

Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei then retired together.

The two of them had barely taken two steps out of the door of the study, and there was a faint sound of deliberately suppressed sobbing in the room.

Jiang Wei was a little stunned and unconsciously slowed down.

Zhuge Liang pulled him away, and said in a low voice as he walked: "The lord is sad in his heart, but he doesn't want us to worry about him anymore, so he deliberately took us away first." Please be considerate of such feelings. ”

Jiang Wei nodded, quickened his pace, and walked out of the Hanzhong Palace with Zhuge Liang.

Coming out of the Hanzhong Palace, it was already the beginning of the lights outside the city.

At the time of parting, Zhuge Liang looked at the young man in front of him and said with relief:

"This time, thanks to you for stepping forward, you can keep the vitality of the Han Dynasty alive. You have worked hard these days, and you have a good rest at home for a while, and in a few days the court will be of great use to you. ”

Jiang Wei was modest and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly thought that the imperial court had not reached a conclusion on the resettlement of the people of Jingzhou.

He was worried that because the officials from Jingzhou felt sorry for their hometown fathers, they might let them settle in a place close to Shu County, so that it would be convenient to take care of them.

However, since he had the will of Fazheng and took the Northern Expedition as his own responsibility, he naturally hoped to persuade the imperial court to resettle these people in the Hanzhong area to facilitate the operation of the forward base of the Northern Expedition.

The only one who can make a decision on this matter is Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, but Liu Bei is not in good health, and the only one who can really influence the decision-making of the imperial court is Zhuge Liang in front of him.

Jiang Wei thought of this, clenched his fists and said: "The last general still has one more matter, I want to discuss it carefully with the military advisor, dare to ask when the military advisor will be free?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "I really can't spare time these days, and three days later is the period of rest, and Boyo can come to the house to talk about it." ”

Jiang Wei answered, and after visiting the door three days later, he took Xiaobai brought by the guards and left.

He went all the way non-stop and rushed to the Fazheng Mansion to report the funeral.

Shang Shuling Mansion he has already walked once, and he is familiar with the way, and he gallops on horseback, and he will arrive in a short time.

After expressing his intention to Menzi, Menzi hurriedly invited him in, and shouted sadly all the way: "The master of the family has gone!" The head of the house is gone! ”

The entire Shangshu Ling Mansion immediately became irritable, crying, and screaming suddenly erupted.

After a while, Fa Miao, the son of Fa Zheng, looked sad and came quickly.

Before he could ask, Jiang Wei told him about Fa Zheng's death, and pointed out that Fa Zheng was now in Linjiang County, and asked him to dare to go back to the city as soon as possible.

When Fa Miao heard this, sorrow came from it, and he cried on the ground.

This was the first time Jiang Wei saw Fa Miao, the son of Fa Zheng, and saw that he was about twenty-five years old, and he was somewhat similar to his father.

Historically, Liu Bei deplored the death of Fa Zheng very much, and he was weeping for many days, posthumously serving as the Marquis of Yi, giving his son Miao the Marquis of Guannei, and the official to Fengche Duwei and Hanyang Taishou.

However, the historical record of Fa Miao is limited to this, which shows that Fa Miao does not have the intelligence and courage of his father, but only relies on his father Yu Yin as an official.

Jiang Wei said in his heart, Fa Zheng took care of him a lot before his death; After his death, he also took care of his family.

Under his constant comfort, Fa Miao, as a filial son, had to beat his spirit, simply pack up, and set off overnight with dozens of Ding henchmen and went straight to Jiangzhou.

Come out of the Fazheng Mansion, and the next stop is to go to the former general Guan Yu's mansion.

Guan Yu gave him a lot of guidance before his death, and he was the father of his righteous brother, and this time he died in order to protect the back of the army, so he should go to kowtow to Guan Yu and visit his righteous brother Guan Xing's family.

The former general's mansion is located in the inner lane of Jinli, Jinli is a prosperous place, Jiang Wei did not dare to ride the horse, so he had to lead the horse on foot. By the time we arrived, it was almost dusk.

A pair of white lanterns have been changed in front of the gate, and the atmosphere is solemn. He took a deep breath and knocked on the round knocker cast in brass.

Unexpectedly, it was Liao Hua who opened the door.

Liao Hua was very happy about Jiang Wei's arrival, and while talking about his introduction into the hall, he also introduced what happened in the month and a half after the separation.

Guan Yu's body was taken away by Cao Cao, and after the Guan brothers and sisters arrived in Shuzhong, they could only erect a mound for their father to show their filial piety.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the funeral of his parents, as a filial son, he had to serve three years of mourning. However, since the former Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty began to make a 36-day uniform, the court and the people changed the day and the month, and the mourning period was shortened to 36 days.

The Guan brothers and sisters were originally going to follow the ancient uniform for three years of mourning, but Liu Bei was worried that the three of them would be too sad, so he forced them to change the day for the moon and ordered them to only serve 36 days of mourning.

Now that the 36th day has passed, although the funeral has been removed, the three brothers and sisters of the Guan family are still closed, kneeling in front of Guan Yuling every day to accompany them.

Let's go back to Liaohua. According to what he thought in his heart, since he was entrusted by the prince and the marquis on his deathbed, he regarded himself as half an elder and half a family member of the Guan brothers and sisters.

His family is in Jingzhou, and he has not purchased an industry in Yizhou.

But he didn't want to live in the post house for a long time, and he couldn't rest assured that the Guan brothers and sisters were not at ease, so after obtaining Guan Ping's consent, he simply moved to the former general's mansion to live for a while, mainly to facilitate care.

The two walked and talked, and along the way, the pillars of the houses in the house were covered with white curtains, which had not been removed in time.

When I came to the lobby, I saw that there was an incense case in the middle of the hall, and Guan Yu's spiritual position was enshrined on the case, and the incense mist was swirling, solemn and solemn.

Although the mourning period has passed, the two brothers Guan Ping and Guan Xing are still kneeling on their sides, looking carefully at their expressions, they can be described as depressed and withered.
