Nanzheng, Zhuge Liang Mansion.

This is already the third day of Liu Bei's entry into the queen of Hanzhong, Pang Tong, Fang Shao and Mi Zhu were invited by Zhuge Liang to come to his mansion to "taste tea", called tea tasting, but in fact it was a secret meeting.

At this time, Mi Zhu had not yet arrived, Zhuge Liang said first: "Shiyuan, Zhongzheng, the news that Mrs. Wu is pregnant must have known to you, you are all understandable people, I'm afraid I don't need to say anything." ”

"Mrs. Wu is very likely to give birth to a son for the king, this is a threat to us no matter what, sir, why don't we jointly write a letter together, please make the king a son as soon as possible."

Fang Shao hurriedly expressed his opinion, because in history, Mrs. Wu had given birth to a son for Liu Bei, and now she was pregnant again, although the time period was a little different, but he had a preconceived vigilance, which made him have a strong premonition that Mrs. Wu would definitely give birth to a boy.

Pang Tong sneered, and said sarcastically: "It is determined that it is heaven to give birth to a boy and a girl, even if it is possible, it is a fifty percent chance, but I don't know where the word 'very likely' came from." ”

Fang Shao couldn't explain it to him clearly, so he had to say: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of just in case, as long as we let the king set up the prince first, the overall situation has been decided, and then Mrs. Wu will give birth to a man or a woman, so what is the worry." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "At present, the prince of Atai is still young, if we ask the king to make him the prince, filial piety and other scholars of Yizhou and Dongzhou, we will definitely try to stop it on the grounds that the prince is young and it is too early." ”

Pang Tongyi flicked his sleeves and said in a displeased tone: "If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have supported the king to marry Mrs. Wu back then, and now there will be no such trouble." Kong Ming, I didn't agree anyway at the beginning, but you, what do you say As long as the king guarantees the name of Mrs. Mi's main room, the status of Prince Atai will be worry-free in the future, and now it is good, as soon as the king heard that Mrs. Wu was pregnant, he immediately began to hesitate. ”

Pang Tong was complaining about Zhuge Liang, and Fang Shao said: "The original incident was decided by us through joint discussion, and it is no wonder that Mr. In fact, I think that the hesitation of the king today is not just for Mrs. Wu, but mostly hesitating, whether to make Atai Gongzi or Adou Gongzi as the prince. ”

Fang Shao's words made the two people who had fallen into a dead end of their thinking come out, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Zhongzheng is right, the establishment of a prince is a major matter of the country, and the king is not as many sons as Cao Ying, and the early establishment of a prince is naturally extremely useful for stabilizing the hearts of the ministers, how could he be so procrastinated because of the child in Mrs. Wu's belly who only saw it after ten months, I think he must be thinking about which son to appoint." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Since ancient times, pay attention to the son to the mother, Mrs. Mi is the main room, then the son of Atai is the son-in-law, the so-called succession of the son, the long, the virtuous successively, the king since the establishment of the prince of Atai as the prince, what is there to hesitate about." ”

Fang Shao smiled: "Sir, you can't understand the king's state of mind. Thinking that the king has been running for more than ten years, the early death of the heir will inevitably make the king very sad. And after getting a Dou Gongzi when he was old, he loved him like a baby, and after the danger of Changsaka, A Dou Gongzi was unharmed, and he was well raised to such a big age, the king's feelings for A Dou Gongzi must be very deep. What's more, Mrs. Gan went because of the injury when she was on the slope of Changban, and the king must have felt a little guilty about it, and when he saw Adou, he must have remembered Mrs. Gan, so the king will hesitate to establish the prince. ”

Zhuge Liang has no son, so naturally he doesn't analyze emotional matters so thoroughly like Fang Shao, although Fang Shao doesn't have a son, but in modern times, after being bombarded with so many family dramas on TV that he is visually fatigued, he can naturally figure out these Taos even with his eyes closed.

When Zhuge Liang didn't react over there, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Since that's the case, then why don't we just let the king set up A Dou Gongzi as the heir." ”

Fang Shao's heart was suddenly shocked, with Adou's qualifications in history, if he is appointed as the heir, it can also be convenient for these "powerful ministers" to act on behalf of the monarch, but now that Mrs. Mi is here, if Adou is established as the heir, it will inevitably cause a rift between Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou veteran groups and Jingzhou groups, which seems to temporarily suppress Yizhou and Dongzhou scholars, but it will lay hidden dangers for the future.

What's more, Mrs. Mi once told Fang Shao to support and protect Prince Atai, and Fang Shao could not ignore this relationship. It's just that now Fang Shao is not only Adou's teacher, but also has Nagasaka's life-saving grace for Adou, and outsiders say that he is close to Adou, and if he openly objected, it seems a little inappropriate.

"Shi Yuan, you can't say it casually, if there is no Atai Gongzi, it doesn't hurt to set up Adou Gongzi, but now there is a son-in-law, regardless of the concubine, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Without Fang Shao opening his mouth, Zhuge Liang categorically rejected Pang Tong's proposal, which made Fang Shao secretly relieved.

Pang Tong laughed a few times and said, "I'm just casually saying, why should you take it seriously, Kong Ming, take it easy." By the way, I heard that in the battle of Fangling, Mencius killed that Kuai, and I heard the news a few days ago, saying that Mencius was sending Shen Yi and other family members to Nanzheng as hostages, and Kuai's family members must also be among them, Kong Ming, are you particularly excited in your heart, hehe. ”

Pang Tong came to such a sentence for no reason, Fang Shao was still listening and wondering, but Zhuge Liang's expression changed slightly, and then changed to an indifferent look, and said: "What are you talking about, why don't I understand it at all." ”

Pang Tong approached Kong Ming, rubbed him with his elbow, and said with a malicious smile: "Pretend, pretend, after my sister arrives in Nanzheng, I will see how long you can pretend." ”

Fang Shao's mind was at a loss for a moment, and he suddenly realized, and couldn't help blurting out: "What Shiyuan Junshi said is your sister-in-law, Miss Shanrou!" ”

The two of them were surprised, and Zhuge Liang immediately frowned and said, "Where did you know that?" ”

Fang Shao realized that his mouth was not firmly guarded, there was a history of gossip about Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Rong once warned him, saying that it was Zhuge Liang's sad past, and told him not to mention it, but he didn't expect that as soon as the fire of gossip ignited today, he accidentally leaked his mouth.

"Hehe, this, in fact, ......" Fang Shao laughed, not knowing what to say for a while.

Zhuge Liang snorted and said, "It must be Ah Rong's mouth, this girl, when did she learn to be a long-tongued woman." ”

Pang Tong patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said, "Kong Ming, how can you say this about Ah Rong, in fact, she is the same as us, she is concerned about you." Anyway, my aunt was vain back then, and she had to marry Ah Shan to the nominal waste material, but now it's okay, the surname Kuai is dead, with your current status, if you don't think Ah Rou is a widow, you can accept her. ”

Pang Tong's words alone sounded like good intentions, but with his somewhat obscene smile, it seemed to be more teasing Zhuge Liang on the whole, and Fang Shao wanted to laugh.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang's face over there immediately tensed, and he said unhappily: "Shiyuan, you are also the king's important minister, why do you speak so ignorantly, you, you should also pay attention to your identity." ”

Pang Tong said disapplausively: "You should pay attention, what's this, isn't it just the common feeling of a little person, why did I find that the bigger Kong Ming you do, the heavier this mentality is." I said Kong Ming, in life, you have to live a chic life, don't be full of the world, state affairs, etiquette, and identity all day long, and if you continue to develop like this, I guarantee that you will have a short life. ”

Pang Tong's few words made Zhuge Liang not know what to do, so he had to point at him with a feather fan, and smiled helplessly: "You, you, okay, I admit that I can't argue with your mouth." ”

Pang Tong's words reminded Fang Shao, he vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang back then was indeed dashing, although he was poor when he was in the cottage, he drank a little wine every day, talked about the mountains, and was very leisurely. Now that the official position is getting bigger and bigger, the power is getting bigger and bigger, and that chic and free is indeed gone, and it is replaced by a Zhuge Liang who has done his best.

Fang Shao couldn't bear it, so he also persuaded: "Sir, Shiyuan Junshi is right, in addition to big things, there are many small things worth paying attention to, otherwise you will be very tired." ”

Zhuge Liangqi said: "Why do you two wear a pair of pants, you both like to preach to me." ”

Fang Shao smiled: "How dare I preach Mr., I'm all for Mr.'s good." ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Okay, well, I can't understand your kindness, take the time, I will definitely go chic." ”

As soon as the words fell, the attendant outside came to report that Yan Mizhu had arrived.

Zhuge Liang called for invitation, and at the same time advised: "When Zizhong comes, you must not mention the establishment of A Dou Gongzi as the prince." ”

Pang Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I don't need you to tell us, we are not three-year-old children, we have our own proportions." ”

After a while, Mi Zhu hurriedly entered, that expression was obviously preoccupied, and as soon as they met, he couldn't wait to say: "Everyone, Mrs. Wu is pregnant, you should all know about it, something is not good, I think it will be a long night and a lot of dreams, I will wait together to ask the king to set up Prince Atai as the heir." ”

Hearing Mi Zhu's words, they repeated Fang Cai's discussion again, but omitted Adou's paragraph. Mi Zhu couldn't help but be more worried when he heard this, and said: "Now that Ma Chao has returned, he has added a huge force to their filial piety, if the northern expedition to Guanlong in the future, their momentum will only become more and more prosperous. ”

Although Mi Zhu's talent is not outstanding, he has a very thorough analysis of this matter, yes, in the matter of establishing an heir, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Jingzhou Group.

Several people fell into deep thought, all of them were bothering about this matter, and Fang Shao was silent for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, so he said: "Shao has a plan, and he is allowed to let the king make up his mind quickly, but this strategy may be a little unkind." ”
