Of course, Pang Tong knew who the two people Sima Yi was referring to, one must be Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the dynasty and the leader of the Jingzhou scholars, and the other was naturally the Zuo Da Sima Fang Shao, who was powerful and had the ability to destroy Wei Qigong.

As Sima Yi said, the origins of these two people are not very glamorous.

Although Zhuge Liang's ancestor had been a lieutenant of Sili, but in his father's area, it had declined, and Zhuge Liang's brothers even had to defect to their uncle, but soon after, his uncle also died of illness.

However, by virtue of his sister marrying into the Kuai family, he married the daughter of the Huang family, and at the same time befriended Pang Tong and other big family scholars, and his brother entered the Eastern Wu as an official, so Zhuge Liang was able to move among the high-class scholars in Jingzhou.

In Pang Tong's view, fundamentally speaking, Zhuge Liang's background is far inferior to himself, and even generations such as Ma Liang and Jiang Wan are inferior.

As for Fang Shao, not to mention, his background is just a lowly scholar, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang's support, it would be difficult to squeeze into the ranks of scholars, and in terms of his background, it would naturally be much lower.

As Sima Yi said, could it be that something really can't be done?

"Haha, Zhongda is really good at laughing, come on, drink tea and tea, it's going to be cold." Pang Tong's expression suddenly changed, and he laughed and drank tea.

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he took a few sips of tea unhurriedly, and then said with a smile: "Whether it's jokes or truths, Brother Shiyuan's insight is beyond Yi's ability, and there will naturally be a conclusion in the future." ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhongda has won the award." Pang Tong pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhongda is a famous scholar in the Central Plains, I have admired it for a long time, and there are many problems in scripture to ask Brother Zhongda for advice. ”

Obviously, Pang Tong deliberately avoided the topic that Fang had just discussed, and Sima Yi did not mention this matter when he saw this, so he discussed the matter of scripture with Pang Tong.

Three days later, the emperor's dragon case was presented with dozens of ministers' recitals, all of which said that the general Guan Yu had worked hard and should be promoted to the rank of lieutenant to show his honor.

At this time, the young emperor was still young, and the Empress Dowager Mi listened to the government, and all the suggestions presented by the ministers were actually reviewed by the descendants of the Empress Mi.

However, because of Zhuge Liang and other virtuous ministers, the so-called listening to the government of the Empress Dowager Mi is not just a formality, all the previous performances, as long as Zhuge Liang Pang Tong and others expressed their attitude, the Empress Dowager Mi basically agreed, but this time it was related to the general Guan Yu, and the Empress Dowager Mi was a little unable to grasp it, so she Xuan Fang Shao entered the palace to discuss.

Since the battle for the throne, Fang Shao has rarely met with the Mi family in private, and when he saw it, it was nothing more than when he was discussing the affairs of the previous dynasty, but at that time, in front of the ministers, he naturally did not dare to make a mistake.

After a few years, when I saw Mi's again, I saw that this woman who had been promoted to the queen mother had a much better complexion than before, and it seemed that the speed of aging of the woman's face had also slowed down.

Obviously, his son ascended the throne and became the queen mother, and the big stone in his heart finally settled, which made Mi's anxiety that had been suppressed for many years finally diluted, and he was in a good mood, and he seemed to be getting younger.

"Wechen knocks to see the Queen Mother." The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, in front of many servants and eunuchs, Fang Shao also has to do the role of a courtier.

"Zhongzheng is exempt." When the Empress Dowager Mi saw Fang Shao's happy appearance, she couldn't wait to personally go down the steps to help Fang Shao up, but because of the Empress Dowager's respect, she didn't bend down.

"Empress Dowager Xie."

When Fang Shao got up and gave him a seat, Empress Dowager Mi ordered everyone in the palace to retreat outside the palace and not disturb them to discuss political affairs.

When the palace people retreated, the Empress Dowager Mi got up and went down the steps, walked to Fang Shao, and actually poured tea and water for him in person.

Fang Shao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is tormenting Weichen, how dare Weichen be treated like this." ”

Fang Shao wanted to take back the cup and pot in Mi's hand, but he gently blocked it back with her arm, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, what is polite between you and me, of course you can afford this cup of tea." ”

Seeing this, Fang Shao didn't say much, and let the Empress Dowager Mi pour a full cup of tea, so she served it with both hands: "If there was no Zhongzheng before, it is still unknown whether Atai can become the emperor, Zhongzheng, your kindness to my mother and son is so deep, I respect you for this cup of tea, it can be regarded as a thank you." ”

Empress Dowager Mi's words were sincere, and Fang Shao felt something, so he no longer stuck to etiquette, so he laughed and drank it.

Next, it was nothing more than recounting the old things about Changbanpo again, and after sighing, the Empress Dowager Mi turned to the topic.

"Zhongzheng, I looked at these performances on your boards, and looking at this situation, you want to seize Yunchang's military power." Empress Dowager Mi said very bluntly.

"This ......" Fang Shao coughed lightly, "I can't say that, the position of Tai Lieutenant has always been conferred only on highly respected ministers, General Yun Chang is a general of Yuan Gong, and being promoted to Tai Lieutenant is also a natural honor." ”

The Empress Dowager Mi was not stupid, but now she has been the Empress Dowager for a few years, she has dealt with a lot of political affairs, and she is also quite experienced in politics.

So, Mrs. Mi showed a little dissatisfaction later: "Zhongzheng, do you still need such a scene between you and me?" ”

Fang Shao was stunned, his expression was slightly embarrassed, he coughed lightly to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is too careful, the minister said this, but he just didn't want the Queen Mother to be sad about this matter." ”

Empress Dowager Mi's mouth narrowed slightly, and she said unhappily: "Although all kinds of proposals were proposed by you, it was not me who gave the edict in the end, and I didn't want to hurt my gods." ”

She said it to such an extent, Fang Shao couldn't fool anymore, so she said frankly: "This matter, in fact, as the Queen Mother said, the ministers really want to cut General Yunchang's military power. ”

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager Mi to react, Fang Shao immediately explained: "During the previous battle for the throne, General Guan repeatedly obstructed His Majesty's accession to the throne, and the Empress Dowager will not forget it. Therefore, the ministers want to take this opportunity to let General Guan enjoy his old age in peace, which can be regarded as consolidating the status of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

The most fundamental reason for cutting Guan Yu's military power is, of course, that he has repeatedly opposed the ministers in charge of the government of Zhuge Liang and Fang Shao, but of course this kind of talk is inconvenient to talk about the Queen Mother, so Fang Shao took the vital interests of the Queen Mother's mother and son as an excuse.

Sure enough, after these words, the Queen Mother's tense nerves relaxed, and the expression on her face looked much better.

Empress Dowager Mi sighed slightly: "I see, then I will be at ease." It's just that Yun Chang's surname is so arrogant, this matter shows that you are targeting him, I am only afraid that he will refuse to give in, and it will not be a good thing to make trouble when the time comes. ”

Fang Shao smiled and said confidently: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, although General Guan's temper is big, but he is also a person who understands current affairs, Fang Jin's situation with General Guan, he should know that he is powerless to resist, although his temper will make a fuss, but in the end he still has to give up his fate." ”

For so many years, the Empress Dowager Mi believes in Fang Shao the most, and his confident words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the Empress Dowager Mi, so she smiled and said: "Since you have already calculated, then I will be able to approve this recital in a few days." In fact, it is said that summoning you to the palace today is not necessarily for political affairs, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is just time to recount the old things. ”

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Mi got closer to Fang Shao, and her expression became a lot more ambiguous and intimate.

Fang Shao knew what she meant, the Mi family in the past was actually very forbearing, but since the death of the first emperor, his son became the emperor, he became the queen mother, he listened to the government in the court, and the power was in his hands, and he no longer needed to care about anyone's heart, and the desire hidden in his heart erupted.

Indeed, in the world of the Han Dynasty now, no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do.

It is naturally good to have the support of the Queen Mother, but the internal situation of the Great Han Kingdom in front of him is quite delicate, and he has made new achievements, and his prestige is like Zhongtian, at this time, it is the moment when political enemies covet it, and Fang Shao does not want political enemies to seize any big handles.

"Wei Chen suddenly remembered that there are still a few important official affairs that have not been handled, and I am afraid that the minister will retire first." Fang Shao was ready to withdraw.

"Why are you leaving so soon, Zhongzheng, are you trying to avoid me?" Empress Dowager Mi looked a little unhappy, and her words became clearer and clearer.

Fang Shao was a little embarrassed, he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary, and it was inconvenient to refuse to offend the queen mother's strong reinforcement too straight, and it was no wonder that he was not embarrassed when he saw the empress dowager's resentful look.

However, after turning his eyes a few times, Fang Shao had a way to deal with it.

"The queen mother's current position is not stable, and the minister has just won the merit of destroying Wei, which is the focus of attention, how many people with enemies are waiting to catch our handle, at this time, we have to be very careful."

This extinguished half of the Empress Dowager Mi's desire, and the surname Li began to occupy her mind again, but she was still displeased, and said with a flat mouth: "Then what should I do, are we just like this all the time separated by a mountain." ”

Fang Shao stepped forward and shook the hand of the Empress Dowager Mi, and said with a smile: "Of course not, and please hold back for a while, when the overall situation is decided, we can naturally do whatever we want, and no one can threaten us." ”

After hearing Fang Shao's assurance, Empress Dowager Mi was satisfied, a smile reappeared on her face, and she nodded and said, "Okay, if you have this thought, what if I wait." ”

After being relieved for a while, the Empress Dowager Mi let Fang Shao say goodbye, Fang Shao was like an amnesty, and hurriedly said goodbye, his steps were hurried, and when he got out of the palace gate, Fang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that if he didn't move smartly, he also used delaying methods, and now he was afraid that he would "lose himself here".
