Chapter 33: At a Historical Juncture, the Dialogue between Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang (1)
"When the rice bloomed this year, it happened to be a sunny day, and the flowers were wilted." The old man's expression darkened, and he was a little sad.
Li Yan nodded and echoed, "The year is not good, but it hurts the people." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked again: "How long is the elder?" β
The eldest third elder grinned and replied proudly: "The old man was born in the second year of Emperor Huan's eternal life, and that year was the year of Bingshen, so the old man has been seventy and six years old. β
"The elder is really old!" Li Yan also smiled, looking approachable.
At this time, the domestic servant Li An stepped on the water grass and climbed up the field, came behind Li Yan, moved his lips, and said a few words in his ear.
After Li An finished speaking, the corners of Li Yan's mouth pulled up an imperceptible arc, stood up from the squatting position, tidied up his clothes, and arched his hand to the three elders and the husband who were waiting beside him, "It's hard to be in the summer, you better go home to enjoy the coolness, Yan is also going to set off again and go to Chengdu Idu." β
Hearing Li Yan say this, the three elders and husbands of Huayang Township immediately saluted him and said goodbye: "I'll say goodbye to Gong Li!" β
"Go and inform Du Di, let's get back on the road, the convoy is about to leave immediately, and we must see the east gate of Chengdu I within today!" Li Yan said as he walked, he was in a hurry, he hadn't been appointed as the imperial doctor, and the emperor arranged a fucking deputy for him, and he would go back later...... I'm afraid that even the subordinate officials and Peng Shi have arranged it for him!
************************************
Cheng I capital, Changle Palace
In the entire dormitory, the eunuchs and palace maids were all removed from the palace, and only Liu Yong and Empress Dowager Wu were left in the empty space...... and a Zhangde
"Mother, my son wants to appoint Li Yan as the Imperial Doctor, the Construction Administration, the Third Prince, and has the right to supervise hundreds of officials and prisons, and let him be the prime minister's deputy." Liu Yong sat next to Empress Dowager Wu and held her hand affectionately.
Empress Dowager Wu listened to Liu Yong's words and frowned slightly, "When Emperor Zhaolie returned to heaven, he made the prime minister and Li Yan the ministers who took care of their lives, the prime minister was in the center, and Li Yan was outside Jiangzhou. The two carriages supported the country together, and the court was safe and sound all these years. β
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Wu patted Liu Yong's palm on the back and advised: "The mourning family knows that you are clever and active, but if you transfer Li Yan to Beijing, where will you put the prime minister?" It will chill the heroes! Moreover, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one of the two strong will be injured when they compete! β
At this time, Empress Dowager Wu also spoke in a heavy tone, "If the prime minister loses, the ancestors will not bless you." β
"It's better to maintain the status quo!"
Liu Yong was slightly disappointed, it seems that in the face of major rights and wrongs, no one is not cautious, but ...... He was not discouraged.
"Mother, you have also seen that the prime minister's employment is also biased and protective, and his son worships Dr. Li Yan and Yu Shi not to let him confront the prime minister, but to let him check and fill in the gaps for the prime minister and play a supervisory role."
"And," Liu Yong raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wu's back color, and saw that her expression was as usual, so he continued: "A family dominance is not a long-term solution, and the prime minister is now the son of heaven...... Where do I leave it? β
"I ...... After all, it's the emperor......"
Hearing Liu Yong's words, especially the deep sigh at the end, Empress Dowager Wu's expression changed greatly, and she seriously examined Liu Yong, and her phoenix eyes were full of shockβthe contrast between the emperor's opinion and his age was unimaginable......
Liu Yong bowed deeply to the ground and said respectfully: "The son asks the queen mother to be fulfilled!" β
Silence, a long silence, seeing that the emperor who was bowing to the ground didn't get up, Empress Dowager Wu finally sighed faintly: "Okay, the mourning family will fulfill you, but how to deal with the balance and relationship between the three of you, the emperor is good at his own devices!" β
"Mother Xie is complete, and Erchen understands!" Liu Yong was overjoyed in his heart and said goodbye.
Walking out of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Liu Yong finally completed the first step to support Li Yan to ascend to the throne, and now he has to overcome the second and most difficult obstacle - convincing Prime Minister Zhuge Liang!
Walking down the steps of the palace, Liu Yong came to the front of the car, boarded the car and floated out a sentence: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, immediately!" β
Nishiki
Just like Lai Gong and Zhao Yun came to greet him that day, the emperor's guard of honor appeared in Jinli again, the same gold and silver car, the same yellow house Zuoxu, the only difference is that Liu Yong is the king today and the emperor today!
The car drove into Lumen, and the car and Ma Xiaoxiao finally stopped in front of Zhuge Liang's mansion.
On the fifth day, today is the day of rest, Zhuge Liang did not go to the house to manage affairs, but stayed at home to accompany his family, by the way, hey, hey, papa.
It is said that he is forty-five years old this year, and he has not yet had a queen, so he reluctantly adopted his brother Zhuge Jin's second son Zhuge Qiao under his knees and inherited the incense.
However, the son is his own good after all, and there is nothing wrong with Zhuzhu's body, so he has accepted a few concubines over the years, and he has worked hard to produce an heir.
Hearing that the servant reported that Liu Yong's car was about to arrive at the door of the house, although he was puzzled by Liu Yong's intentions, he immediately dressed up, opened the middle door, and came to greet him with his wife Huang Leying.
"Chen Liang welcomes His Majesty's arrival, and the Holy Driver is coming to the Humble House, and the Minister is very honored!"
As soon as Liu Yong turned off the gold and silver car, he was directly confronted by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who was meticulously saluting.
did not stand still, but rushed forward with an arrow, held Prime Minister Zhuge with both hands, and said warmly: "Why should the prime minister be polite!" β
Zhuge Liang straightened up, looking at the Son of Heaven with a kind face and a friendly attitude, a feeling of being courteous and courteous and either a traitor or a thief came to his heart.
Hehe...... Last time I was in a frenzy in the council hall...... Aren't you looking like this?
Bowing slightly, Zhuge Liang Su asked with his hand: "Please Your Majesty to speak in the hall." β
"No......" Liu Yong did not agree, but asked: "Can you choose a quiet room?" I have some things I want to discuss with the prime minister. β
"In this case, please move your majesty to the chess room on the first floor, which is secluded." Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised, obviously he didn't expect the emperor to deliberately pick Xiu Mu Ri to discuss things with him.
Chess room
Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang knelt in front of the chessboard, with a box of chess pieces on the left and right.
"Why don't Your Majesty play black and ministers play white, and play a game?" Zhuge Liang asked tentatively
Liu Yong shook his head, not to mention that he didn't know how to play Go, and even if he did, he would probably be abused by Zhuge Liang to the point of being incomplete, so there was no need to be so ugly.
"Let's get to the point. Prime Minister, I intend to take Jiangzhou Governor Li Yan as the imperial historian, supervise hundreds of officials, and be the prime minister's deputy. But I don't know...... What about public opinion? Liu Yong's eyes were blazing, staring at Zhuge Liang.
There must be a clear purpose in doing things, Liu Yong wants to control Zhuge Liang's power, not to depose the prime minister, such a major event as the appointment of the imperial historian must naturally be discussed and ventilated with others in advance, otherwise, it will ...... Do you treat people like air?
It's a basic respect.
Li Yan?! Doctor Goshi?!
Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart: Sure enough!
From the moment he saw that Liu Yong was an ambitious person, he knew that Liu Yong would never be willing to be left in power, and he would definitely try his best to establish authority!
There will be a day when the imperial power and the prime minister will collide fiercely, but ...... Zhuge Liang never thought that this day would come so quickly, and it came with a sudden attitude......
It's only a month before I ascend to the throne today!!
Perhaps, on that day, the palace appointed Liu Yan as the middle of the imperial history...... His Majesty the Young and Vigorous Emperor has already made his intentions clear......
Liu Yong stared at Zhuge Liang, observed the expression of the prime minister, and found that the prime minister was still so indifferent, from his face, there was no trace of nervousness at all, Liu Yong's intriguing actions seemed to be just an insignificant game in his eyes.
Can...... Only those who are most familiar with Zhuge Liang know that he is actually very nervous...... It's just not outward!
Half a salary, Zhuge Liang answered Liu Yong's question, but it was just ...... It was in the way of encircling Wei to save Zhao, "Your Majesty, you must also know that the Wei thief Cao Pi is dead." The old master of the northern thief is in mourning, the lord is suspicious, and the minister is invited to lead the Northern Expedition and plot the Central Plains, but I don't know what His Majesty thinks? β
Well! This is the first time Zhuge Liang has asked himself for the Northern Expedition, Liu Yong is puzzled, doesn't Zhuge Liang know that now is not the best time for the Northern Expedition? Or did he want to use the Northern Expedition to resolve the problems he raised?
Regardless of what Zhuge Liang thought, Liu Yong still truthfully expressed his views on the Northern Expedition: "Prime Minister, at present, the national dynasty has less than 150,000 armor, and the grain is not enough for the soldiers for two years, and it may be difficult to win the Northern Expedition in a hurry." β
"Your Majesty, this is the situation of poverty and weakness in Yizhou, the more it drags on, the more difficult it becomes, and the later it will change! It's better to take the early Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang was once again amazed that Liu Yong had such a thorough understanding of national strength.
Liu Yong was very unimpressed by Zhuge Liang's "Yizhou is weak", and couldn't help but say: "The prime minister is tired and weak in Yizhou, but he doesn't know that there are money, food, and soldiers in those wealthy families!" β
Zhuge Liang also looked at Liu Yong's eyes, his eyes were deep, and he asked word by word: "Could it be that Your Majesty's opportunity to strengthen the country is here?" β
"Is there something wrong with the wool coming out of them?" Liu Yong asked in a deep voice
Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously, avoided answering, and changed the topic, "Does Your Majesty know about Daze Township?" β
"This ......... Of course I do. β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township buried the Qin Dynasty in the grave with a cry of "King Chen Sheng, Great Chu Xing", swept away the rotten nobles of the Six Kingdoms handed down from the three generations (Xia, Shang and Zhou) and put those small people and rural villagers on the stage of history, which is obviously a kind of historical progress.
"Yes...... What does this have to do with what we are talking about today? Liu Yong was very suspicious
"That'...... Does Your Majesty know about the Yellow Turban Rebellion forty years ago? Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and asked again.
Liu Yong's heart jumped, and he faintly felt that Zhuge Liang wanted to explain something through these two things.
If the Dazexiang Uprising has great historical progress, then ...... The Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Emperor Ling, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" brought to Huaxia?
The Yellow Turban Army destroyed everything like locusts and tore everything apart, while the landlord Haoqiang gathered his family soldiers to lie on the impregnable castle trench and watched the Yellow Turban Army kill people and set fire outside the castle, thanks to the Yellow Turban Army, they all died small citizens, peasants, and small landlords, but they were promoted from the landlord Haoqiang to the big family!
and then thanked the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, allowing them to advance from the family to the ...... Gate valve! The so-called ...... Seven Sects and Five Surnames!!
