Chapter 19 Exile to Brazil

PS: There is one more chapter at 23:00 in the evening)

"Fan Changsheng?" Guan Yi was stunned, Fan Changsheng is very famous in Shu, he naturally knows a thing or two. It is said that this person was born in the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218 AD), his ancestral home was Fuling Danxin, and later moved to Qingcheng Mountain in Pixian County, and he was the master of the Heavenly Master in Chengdu. Fan Changsheng's family is wealthy, with thousands of hectares of land and more than 3,000 families, and he is actually a big family in Shuzhong.

After Emperor Zhaolie settled in Chengdu, he heard that Fan Changsheng had the name of talent and was a big family, so he wanted to recruit him as an official, but Fan Changsheng had no intention of officialdom and insisted on resigning. Emperor Zhaolie was helpless, so he named him the Duke of Xiaoyao. After the heir succeeded to the throne, he also enshrined Fan Changsheng as the Taoist concept of immortality, worshiped all year round, incense continuously, and ordered Yizhou Taishou to allocate treasury resources to repair the Taoist temple, and the concept of immortality gradually became the first major view of Qingcheng Mountain.

Fan Chang's life was based on faith and righteousness, and he was erudite and versatile, both civil and military. It is said that this person can hold a pen and write with both hands at the same time, and his font size is the same, and it is generally regular. In terms of swordsmanship, he has not met an opponent for decades, and among his subordinates, there are many first-class swordsmen in the world. But these people are not the Fan family's subordinates, they were high-rollers in the rivers and lakes before, and they heard that Fan Changsheng was good at swordsmanship, so they came to the competition.

"I've heard of Fan Changsheng's name for a long time, but I haven't seen it, it's a pity!"

Liu Yong also nodded and said: "It's a pity that this person has no intention of fame, if he is willing to go out of the mountain to assist the imperial court, my dynasty will definitely be more prosperous!" ”

Guan Yi smiled, but all hermits have many quirks, but he vaguely felt that Fan Changsheng was not unintentional about fame. Otherwise, Fan Changsheng is the master of the Heavenly Master Dao, why does he have more subordinates?

Liu Yong smiled faintly and was noncommittal. But how did he know that in the second year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty (301 AD), Li Te, the leader of the Guanxi exiles, gathered a crowd to rebel and occupied Chengdu, and the court was shocked and shaken for a while. After Li Te's defeat, his son Li Xiong was famous and virtuous and respected by the Shu people, so he wanted to be established as the king. Although Fan Changsheng did not accept his words, he used the name of Heavenly Master Dao to reach the will of heaven and persuade Li Xiong to establish himself as emperor. Li Xiong then proclaimed himself emperor in June of the first year of Guangxi in the Western Jin Dynasty (306 AD), established the Dacheng Dynasty, and worshiped Fan Changsheng as the prime minister, and was named "the master of heaven and earth in four hours and eight festivals".

At that time, Fan Changsheng was already 84 years old. In his old age, it can be seen that Fan Changsheng has no intention of becoming famous? Guan Yi believes that the reason why Fan Changsheng is unwilling to go out of the mountain is not because he has no intention of fame, but because he waits for the situation and waits for the price to sell.

This meal was eaten until the third pole of the month, and after the guests and hosts were happy, Guan Yi said goodbye to Liu Yong and returned home.

Early the next morning, Guan Yi entered the palace to bid farewell to the heir, and when he left, he went to see his sister-in-law, Princess Pingyang. After leaving the palace, he visited Zhuge Zhan, Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Hu Ji, Zong Pre, Fan Jian, Xiang Tiao and Li Xiang and other important civil and military ministers one by one. Dong Ju and Ning Sui had already gone to Hanzhong to take up their posts, so they did not go to see them.

As soon as the number of courtesies was exhausted, Guan Yi took Jiang Wan to the Great Sima Mansion to meet his father-in-law Jiang Wei, and then resigned. When Yin learned that Jiang Wan was about to go to Brazil with Guan Yi, he was naturally very reluctant in his heart, so he took Jiang Wan's hand and went to the backyard to explain, leaving Jiang Wei and Guan Yi to talk in the front hall.

Jiang Wei beckoned Guan Yi to sit down, picked up the tea on the table and took a shallow sip, and then said lightly: "Is it strange in my respect, why did the old man marry Wan'er to you so easily?" ”

Guan Yi faced Jiang Wei, a generation of heroes who can write to settle the world and martial arts, even if he has become his fast son-in-law, but his awe has increased unabated, and he was very surprised when he heard this, Jiang Wei even saw that he had this thought, Tianshui Qilin'er, really worthy of his name.

"The son-in-law is stupid, please make it clear to my father-in-law!"

Jiang Wei put down the tea, sighed slowly, and only after a while did he look at Guan Yi, and said in a deep voice: "The old man asked you, how is Zhuge Zhan?" ”

If it were the past, no matter who asked about it, Guan Yi would inevitably say that half would be left behind, and it would be too much praise and depreciation. But now it was Jiang Wei who asked him, and he was his father-in-law, Guan Yi naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and sighed slightly, and said: "Old and calculating, quite talented, and a hero in the world!" ”

"You're thinking too highly of him! Zhuge Zhan inherited his father's shadow, but he was just a nominal person! Jiang Wei snorted coldly, seeing Guan Yi's surprised expression, knowing that he was quite disapproving, he smiled slightly, and said: "Hero, wisdom must assist the king to help the times of difficulty, and be brave enough to attack the city and protect the world, Zhuge Zhan is the son of my mentor Zhuge Wuhou, although he is loyal to the court, but his ambition is sparse, he is not proficient in military affairs, and he is obsessed with power, and he is definitely not a talent for helping the world!" ”

Guan Yi was stunned, and it could be seen from his words that his father-in-law really didn't look down on Zhuge Zhanwei. However, Guan Yi agreed with Jiang Wei's evaluation of Zhuge Zhan at this time, although Zhuge Zhan rarely has a good reputation, but he relies more on Zhuge Wuhou to win the hearts of Shu people. Politically, Zhuge Zhan was an official who worshiped General Wei and recorded Shangshu with Dong Ju, but he allowed Huang Hao to abuse power and disorder, and was unable to correct checks and balances; Militarily, Zhuge Zhan, as a Wei general, could not foresee the development of the war situation when the Wei army attacked the Han Dynasty on three routes, nor could he lead the troops into battle to share the worries of the country, and he was empty for the descendants of the Zhuge clan.

Since Jiang Youshu broke Deng Ai, although Guan Yi could not predict the future historical process, but he still remembered the original historical process - Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping, and landed in Ma Miao in Jiangyoushu, the Han court was terrified, so Zhuge Zhan was the commander, leading Li Qiu, Huang Chong and Zhang Zun and other generals and tens of thousands of elite Yu Linwei to resist Deng Ai, who knew that although Zhuge Zhan was full of military books, he was strategic, and he held the soldiers but did not move forward, so that he lost the danger of Fu County, and had to retreat to Mianzhu, and finally died of defeat.

Throughout the discussion, although the root cause of the Han Dynasty's demise was caused by political corruption, Zhuge Zhan also bears an unshirkable responsibility. At the beginning, if he had listened to Huang Chong's advice, led his troops to quickly occupy dangerous terrain such as Fuxian, and did not allow the Wei army to enter the Chengdu Plain, the Han Dynasty might not have perished. It can be seen from this that Jiang Wei's evaluation of his lack of military knowledge is to the point and to the point.

Jiang Wei saw that Guan Yi was just pondering, thought about it, and said with a smile: "However, this time you released Brazil Taishou, it was the old man's doing, not Zhuge Zhan's plan!" ”

Guan Yi was stunned, he never thought that his release to Brazil County was Jiang Wei's arrangement. However, although Guan Yi was surprised, he knew that Jiang Wei would definitely not harm himself, and when he heard this, he said: "Since Uncle Yue has arranged it like this, he must have a deep meaning!" It's just that my son-in-law is stupid, and I ask my father-in-law to teach me! ”
