Jiang Wei nodded, thinking that this son was empathetic, and he did not waste his hard work, and married his beloved daughter to him. Picking up the teacup on the table and playing slowly, he said for a long time: "I told you before, this time the Wei army attacked Shu, although it was defeated and returned, but our army has more than 10,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass are even more damaged, which can be described as a great loss of national strength and vitality. ”

Guan Yi was suddenly in his heart, and was about to speak, but Jiang Wei waved his hand and continued: "My Han national strength is weak, and the loss of tens of thousands of troops is really a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. In this regard, although the old man has the merit of retreating from the enemy, he also has a serious sin that cannot be lightly punished. Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhuge Zhan will take the opportunity of eradicating Huang Hao to replace the old man in control! ”

Guan Yi had relatives in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "When the two armies fight, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and how can it be the crime of the father-in-law?" ”

"Having said that, but the old man is above the weight of a general, and he has repeatedly made the Northern Expedition without success, and some people in the DPRK and China have long impeached the old man on the grounds that the old man was reckless and wasted money and food in vain." Jiang Wei naturally knew the concern in Guan Yi's words, smiled faintly, and sighed: "Therefore, although Zhuge Zhan took the opportunity to take the old man's military power this time, it was also the old man who was willing to give him up. Otherwise, the imperial court will not be able to account to the people of the country! ”

"But Lord Yuezhang also knows that Zhuge Zhan has a false name and is not familiar with military affairs, if he is in power, it may not be a good thing in the imperial court......"

"But Zhuge Zhan has always advocated recuperation and recuperation, not taking away the people's power, and my Han now needs time to develop agriculture and restore national strength!" Jiang Wei interrupted Guan Yi's words, and said solemnly: "Right now, it is a critical period for the life and death of my Han, although Zhuge Zhan is not familiar with military affairs, but his ruling ideology is exactly what my Han urgently needs at the moment, and it is precisely because of this that the old man is willing to give up his military power to him!" ”

Guan Yi's heart was shocked, it seems that what Jiang Wei said to him when he was in Hanzhong was indeed what he thought in his heart, otherwise even if all the ministers in the court and China supported Zhuge Zhan, but with Jiang Wei's status and prestige in the army, how could Zhuge Zhan easily seize his military power?

Moreover, Guan Yi also heard that although Zhuge Zhan did not approve of Dong Ju's move to close the trade market with Wei, before Dong Ju went to Hanzhong to take office, he ordered Dong Ju to divide his troops to guard various key passes in Hanzhong, vigorously recruit displaced people from all over the country, and reclaim barren tuntian. At the same time, in accordance with the policy of Wuhou, the water conservancy was repaired, the brocade weaving of Shu was operated, and the salt and iron smelting were boiled and smelted in various parts of Shuzhong, and production was developed. From this point of view, Zhuge Zhan's policy proposition is indeed to develop production and restore national strength as the first priority.

It's just that Jiang Wei is now more than sixty years old, can he wait for ten years?

"The father-in-law understands the righteousness, and the son-in-law admires it very much! It's just that what does this have to do with the father-in-law's arrangement for his son-in-law to be sent to Brazil? ”

Jiang Wei stood up and said slowly: "I just said that Zhuge Zhan is naturally loyal to the imperial court, but this person is not tolerant, before he asked his son Zhuge Shang to go to Hanzhong with you, one is to deliberately win over you, and the other is to monitor you, his scheming is deep, it can be seen!" Since the Wei army invaded Shu, you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, worshiped the generals, and been out of the limelight, but since you are not attracted by him, you will naturally become a thorn in his side, and the old man has to guard against this section, so he asked the saint to send you out of Brazil, in order to save you from being troubled and framed by Zhuge Zhan and others! The funny thing is that Zhuge Zhan not only did not perceive the old man's intentions, but was overjoyed because there was no strong opponent like you in the court. ”

"Respect, you have a strategy, good at understanding military aircraft, the most rare person, meritorious but not arrogant, humble and pragmatic, is really the leader of the younger generation in my Shu, and you are the one who will prosper my Han family in the future!"

Guan Yi suddenly realized at this point, thinking of what Jiang Wei said, he had already vaguely guessed in his heart why he married Jiang Wan to himself in a hurry. However, Jiang Wei praised himself so much, which made him a little embarrassed.

Jiang Wei sighed: "Since you are an old husband and son-in-law, whether it is public or private, the old man naturally can't sit idly by." Therefore, the marriage between you and Wan'er should not be delayed, once the old man and your Guan family become in-laws, if Zhuge Zhan wants to embarrass you, he must also carefully weigh the stakes. Moreover, you and Wan'er will live in Brazil for the time being after marriage, one is to temporarily avoid Zhuge Zhan's limelight, and the other is to take the opportunity to recuperate. ”

"The son-in-law respectfully obeys the orders of Lord Yue!" Guan Yi's heart was agitated, and the depression of being exiled to Brazil because Jiang Wei's military power was seized was suddenly swept away. In the final analysis, although he is not a three-year-old child, Jiang is still old and spicy after all, during this time, although he has been out of the limelight, but he has inadvertently ignored the officialdom taboo of making a big move, if it weren't for Jiang Wei secretly helping him plan, maybe one day he would have become a victim of political struggle.

Moreover, he and Jiang Wan beat up the housekeeper of the Northland Royal Mansion on the street that day, although the Northland Palace, which could not be found for a while, but there is no impermeable wall in the world after all, and he stayed in the court, and it was difficult to guarantee that one day he would not meet the group of house slaves of the Northland Palace, and now once he is released to Brazil, he can stay away from Chengdu, and he no longer has to worry about being touched by the house slaves of the Northland Palace, so as to avoid worries.

Jiang Wei told Guan Yi everything he thought in his heart, and he also felt hearty, and finally changed the topic suddenly, and said: "By the way, you once pleaded in front of Your Majesty for Liu Yong, the King of Ganling, according to your opinion, how is the King of Ganling?" ”

"He has a kind and kind personality, is indomitable in the face of trouble, and has the legacy of Emperor Zhaolie!" Guan Yi groaned, and answered truthfully according to his own judgment, but he was not saying good things for Liu Yong.

"Heroes see the same thing!" Jiang Wei laughed and said: "According to the old man's opinion, Liu Yong was burdened by Huang Hao's slander, and after more than ten years of hardships, he is still unyielding, which can be said to have the bearing of a big man and the assets of an emperor!" ”

Guan Yi nodded, he didn't expect Jiang Wei to be so optimistic about Liu Yong. However, among the princes of the heir, although the crown prince Liu Xuan does not have much political achievements and merits, he still has a benevolent name compared to several other princes, and Liu Xuan is the crown prince and the prince of the country, so although Jiang Wei thinks that he has the qualifications of an emperor, he does not say much in his words. After all, the rush to enter the affairs of the imperial family, especially the competition for the position of the crown prince is extremely sensitive, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the truth, once the power is lost, the slightest dismissal and seizure of office, or the heavy raid of the family and the head, even the nine clans, then there will be no chance to turn over.

Throughout history, where the dispute between the prince and the monarch is not full of deceit and bloody violence?
