March 12, 25th year of Han Jian'an.

Fa Zheng died of illness and died in Jiangzhou County

According to the system, usually after the death of the elders, the children should immediately notify the court, relatives, and friends, such as the court and the elders, who need to go in person, and the general friends will send obituaries, which is called mourning, and there are very few people who do not mourn secretly.

Fa Zheng has a son named Fa Miao, but he is in Shu at this time and does not know it.

Fa Zheng was only with Jiang Wei before his death, he was not only a junior of Fa Zheng's subordinates, but also half of his fellow villagers, so it was naturally incumbent on him to mourn.

After consulting with Ma Liang, Jiang Wei entrusted Yu Linwei to Jufu, entrusted the Brazilian soldiers to Ma Zhong, and led Jiang Wu to go to Shu County overnight to report the funeral.

The two of them worked hard all the way, day and night, and it took three days to finally arrive at the east gate of Jinguan City on the afternoon of March 15.

He hasn't communicated with his family for several months, and Jiang Wei doesn't know what his family's worries have become. Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, he told Jiang to go home and report it.

Jiang Wu answered, and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Does the young master want to go home for dinner?" ”

Jiang Wei thought for a while, and said in his heart that in addition to reporting the funeral to the imperial court this time, he was Guan Xing's sworn brother after all, and he had to go to the righteous brother's mansion to visit him first, so he shook his head and said:

"There are still many important things to do, you just have to go and report safety, and I should go home after this incident."

Jiang Wu responded and left immediately.

Jiang Wei took a deep breath and rode his horse towards the Hanzhong Palace again.

At the same time, a major event was also happening in the palace of Hanzhong.

******

It is said that time is the best doctor, because of the sadness of Guan Yu's death, he washed his face with tears all day long, so that Liu Bei, the bedridden king of Hanzhong, finally calmed down after more than a month of recuperation and conditioning, and he could collapse to see things.

After all, he is not only the elder brother of Yi Bo Yuntian, but also the monarch of millions of soldiers and civilians in Yizhou.

During the days when he was sick and the law was outside, all the government and government were taken over by Zhuge Liang.

As the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the spring.

In the Han Dynasty, crops were harvested once a year, and spring plowing and sowing were related to the quality of the year's harvest.

For Shu Han, who took ploughing and warfare as the foundation of the country, there was nothing more important at this time than preparing for spring ploughing in various places.

This year, however, the situation is a little different.

Because of the attack on Jingzhou by the Eastern Wu Alliance, Shu Han's original momentum came to an abrupt end.

Moreover, the rule of the Han in Yizhou and Hanzhong had not yet been completely stabilized, but the confrontation with Cao Wei and Sun Wu had become increasingly acute, and the situation was very tense.

There are many Jingzhou officials in Shu who miss their hometown, and they are not calm at this time, and they are shouting to fight back; And many families who were originally ready to resign themselves to their fate also chose to wait and see again.

More ambitious people, taking advantage of the new loss of Jingzhou and Liu Bei's bedriddenness, spread messages on a large scale, and rebellions also appeared sporadically, especially in the southern and central border areas.

It is very appropriate to use the sentence "Today's next three points, Yizhou is tired, and this sincere crisis is the autumn of survival" to describe the situation at this time.

In this way, appeasing the generals and the people of Shu has become the first problem faced by the ruling Zhuge Liang.

It is also thanks to his prestige, which can be said to be a man of his word among the officials of the Jingzhou faction, and several of his students Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and Guo Youzhi all worked hard, and finally calmed the anxiety of the officials from Jingzhou.

He changed the town to Fu again, and wrote a letter of resignation to Deng Fang, who was then the governor of the capital, and asked him to appease the heart of Nanzhong Hao and Qiang Yue with a good life.

Deng Fang has governed Nanzhong for many years, An Yuan is strong, light and wealthy, and the local Yi and Han all respect his prestige, and he is deliberately enveloped, which is enough to temporarily stabilize the situation.

As for the big families in Shu, Zhuge Liang didn't particularly care.

The local families of Yizhou have always had a talent for being very good at dealing with foreign rulers.

As long as they don't take advantage of the situation to add to the chaos, as for other side matters, Zhuge Liang can turn a blind eye.

With his efforts, in just over a month, the Quartet was subdued, and Yizhou returned to tranquility.

In fact, it is really difficult for Zhuge Liang during this period of time.

He not only has to deal with the affairs of the court, but also has to visit the Hanzhong palace every day, and is also responsible for the teaching of the crown prince Liu Chan - after all, he is also burdened with the position of the crown prince and the prince.

Although Liu Chan is responsible for his education, he also has to take care of it and conduct regular inspections.

If these things are changed to others, they will either be unsustainable or complain. But Zhuge Liang was determined to serve, not only handled these things in an orderly manner, but also was willing to do so.

However, he also has his own sense of proportion, knowing that some government affairs can be handled on his behalf, but some things must be decided by the king of Hanzhong himself.

For example, in the battle of Yiling Yiting that just ended a month ago, a large number of soldiers and people of Jingzhou are about to arrive, and it is urgent to reward the meritorious soldiers and the resettlement of the newly attached people.

******

At this time, Liu Bei, who was in a slightly calm health, after a rough glance at the recent military and political events, immediately summoned Zhuge Liang to the Hanzhong palace to discuss matters.

He felt that his body was gradually not as good as before, so he kept Liu Chan by his side to listen, which meant to cultivate.

Zhuge Liang entered and exchanged salutes with Liu Bei and Liu Chan.

He was very pleased with the recovery of King Hanzhong, and Liu Bei also saw Zhuge Liang's hard work during this time, and he couldn't help but be relieved.

After some pleasantries, they took their seats.

Zhuge Liang presented a thick volume of bamboo slips and said respectfully:

"The soldiers of the Jingzhou War will return soon, for the reward of the meritorious soldiers, according to the records in the military merit book, the minister has roughly been prepared, please take a look."

Most of the names listed in the bamboo slips are the names of middle- and lower-level generals, because the personnel arrangements of some high-ranking generals have always been dictated by Liu Bei himself, and Zhuge Liang is unwilling to say anything.

Liu Bei took it and looked at it carefully, according to the rules drawn up by Zhuge Liang, most of the generals had their own rewards, and the soldiers gave them thick coins and cloths.

He slowly bowed his head, closed the bamboo slip and handed it back, and said slowly: "Meritorious soldiers, let's reward them according to this book." ”

Zhuge Liang asked again: "Regarding the reward for Yide and Zhang Bao, please make it public." ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Yun Chang's body has fallen, Yide is sad and sad, and he ran back to Langzhong alone, and he will definitely not want to receive the credit at this time." ”

After a pause, he said: "Several juniors of the Guan family are mourning, and the reward will be slowed down, and it is not too late to make plans after they have finished their filial piety." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and wrote it down, and then asked: "According to the battle report presented, Jiang Wei turned the tide this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first achievement; The three generals he recommended, Jufu, Wang Ping, and Xiang Chong, are also highly meritorious, I don't know what the lord plans for these people? ”

During the exchange between the two monarchs and ministers, Liu Chan always sat quietly on the side, looking very dignified.

But after he heard the word "Jiang Wei", his black eyes suddenly moved, and when he listened to it, he was very concerned.
