For Zhuge Liang, although he was promoted to the prestigious Taifu by Ming Sheng and secretly demoted, the rest of the officials of Zhuge and the party were also released from imprisonment to show Fang Shao's magnanimous heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Fang Shao was still deeply wary.

There is no other reason, Zhuge Liang has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and his foundation in the government and the opposition is not deep, although the change of the palace banquet was eradicated by Fang Shao, but the roots buried deep in the ground are still very intertwined and difficult to eliminate.

Zhuge Liang is like a water source, as long as the water source is in a day, these roots will slowly and quietly grow, once the time is ripe, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not break out of the ground, and the other party will come to the other way, and give the other side.

The best way is to kill Zhuge Liang to prevent future troubles, but Zhuge Liang can't be killed.

First, Zhuge Liang is Fang Shao's teacher, killing the teacher in vain, and he is rebellious, even if people in the world dare not be angry, they must be hostile to Fang Shao in their hearts.

Second, Zhuge Liang has many protégés in the government and the opposition, and if he forcibly kills this person, it will inevitably cause panic among the people in the court and the opposition.

Third, Zhuge Liang is also his eldest brother, not to mention killing the teacher, even killing relatives, which is extremely detrimental to Fang Shao's reputation.

With all this, Zhuge Liang naturally can't kill him, but if he doesn't kill him, it will be a hidden danger to keep it, Fang Shao thought about it for a while, and then thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

At this time, a guest came up to the Taifu Mansion, Jiang Wan, who was appointed as Shang Shuling.

"My courtyard has been cold for a long time, and a layer of ash is about to accumulate on the steps, I didn't expect Gongyan to come to visit, it's really a rare guest." Zhuge Liang was obviously not as relieved as he said, and his tone was a little disdainful.

It is no wonder that since Zhuge Liang was seized power, some of the original old friends and old officials, some of them saw the wind and changed the court, and some were afraid of Fang Shao's momentum, and they were respectful of Zhuge Liang.

"People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, Wan thinks that Taifu has already gained insight, so he might as well relax his heart." Jiang Wan smiled and said with relief.

"Yes, the world is cold, I should have known, Gongyan, please." Zhuge Liang sighed and invited Jiang Wan into the hall.

The two sat down and the tea was served, and Jiang Wan was a greeting and warmth.

Zhuge Liang smiled and asked, "Gongyan, you also said that the world is hot and cold, I think you won't just shush me and ask me for warmth, right?" ”

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and coughed dryly: "Taifu is too careful, Wan has benefited a lot from Taifu's teachings for many years, although Taifu is unwell now, he can't ask more about the affairs of the court, but Taifu is experienced, and Wan naturally needs to ask more about Taifu." ”

Zhuge Liang noticed that Jiang Wan's words mentioned the word "unwell", and he was scheming, so he immediately noticed it, and said: "Since Gongyan is still thinking about the old friendship, there is no need to beat around the bush, you must have come this time, you must have been entrusted by Fang Zhongzheng, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Jiang Wan was exposed to the purpose, but he was not embarrassed, and smiled faintly: "In fact, the prime minister is also out of concern for Taifu, Taifu has worked hard for the Han Dynasty for half his life, and now that he is old, it is time to enjoy his old age, as for the affairs of the court, Taifu can be handed over to young people to take responsibility." ”

I see.

Zhuge Liang sneered: "It seems that Zhongzheng still cares about me as a teacher, now this Chang'an City, I don't want to stay for a long time, since Zhongzheng is so kind, then I just say goodbye to the old man and return to my Longzhong grassland to study." ”

Jiang Wan didn't expect Zhuge Liang to agree so happily, and he secretly breathed a sigh in his heart, but said: "It's rare that Taifu can see it so well, so I'll be relieved." However, the prime minister also said that as the so-called fallen leaves return to their roots, Taifu wants to return to his hometown, Jingzhou does not have to, and he should return to his real hometown to have a look. ”

Zhuge Liang's heart was shocked, Fang Shi understood his student's true intentions, Fang Shao wanted to drive him to Xuzhou.

In fact, Xuzhou is Zhuge Liang's real hometown, but when Cao Ying attacked Xuzhou, Xuzhou was bloody, Zhuge Liang's court was broken, and he was in danger of Xuzhou, so he had to follow his uncle to move to Jingzhou.

In Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang's old officials are all over the place, and if Zhuge Liang is put in it, Fang Shaoyan can rest assured. And Xuzhou is different, most of the civil and military officials there are cronies arranged by Fang Shao, and Zhuge Liang left his hometown at a young age, and after so many years, there is almost no old power of his clan relatives in Xuzhou to use, sending Zhuge Liang's family to such an isolated place, Fang Shao does not have to worry about what will happen to him.

After understanding Fang Shao's true intentions, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel cold again, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Xuzhou is my real hometown, it's rare for this student of mine to care so much about his teacher, and my Zhuge Liang really treats him in vain." ”

Zhuge Liang's words were obviously full of resentment, but Jiang Wan sighed: "Actually, Taifu doesn't have to complain too much about the prime minister, he also has to do it as a last resort, Taifu might as well think about it in his own shoes, assuming that it is Taifu who sits in the prime minister's seat today, can Taifu treat Prime Minister Fang like this?" ”

One word made Zhuge Liang speechless.

Yes, if it were me who won today, would I leave Fang Shao, a person with great prestige in the army, alive?

Zhuge Liang was silent, he couldn't give an answer.

Jiang Wan said again: "Jingzhou is an intertwined place, if Taifu returns to Jingzhou, even if Taifu wants to retire in leisure, but if some ambitious people use Taifu's influence to do some big rebellious things, when the time comes, how can Prime Minister Fang deal with it?" Therefore, Prime Minister Fang's arrangement is actually for Taifu. ”

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang seems to have come to his senses, but no matter what he thinks, he doesn't have any right to choose.

"Okay, I see."

………… A few days later, Zhuge Liang went to the emperor and asked him to resign and return to Xuzhou for retirement in the name of old age and decrepitness.

Under the instruction of Fang Shao, the emperor naturally kept it again and again, but due to Zhuge Liang's repeated requests, he issued an edict of grace, and at the same time, in order to show Zhuge Liang's meritorious old man of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was specially named the marquis of the county of Yanguo, and he ate ten thousand households.

On a windy and beautiful morning, Zhuge Liang chose to leave in a low-key manner.

A family of more than ten people and seven or eight carriages left Chang'an as soon as the city gate opened, and walked slowly along the eastbound avenue.

After the east, the majestic Chang'an City is already around, and only a line of outline remains.

"Stop."

The carriage stopped, Zhuge Liang walked out, stood on the avenue, and looked back at Chang'an City at the end of the sky, with loneliness and reluctance on his face.

From Xuzhou to Longzhong, from Longzhong to Fancheng, from Fancheng to Xiakou, from Xiakou to Jiangling, from Jiangling to Chengdu, from Chengdu to Nanzheng, and from Nanzheng to Chang'an.

Wandering for half a life, I thought that this was the end of my life, but I didn't expect that this was just the end of my dream, but the end of my life was in the distant Xuzhou.

After walking most of China, I suddenly found that I had returned to the original point, is this fate?

Huang Yueying, who had gray sideburns, walked to her side, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and comforted peacefully: "It no longer belongs to us, let's go to Xuzhou with peace of mind." You used to tell me about your childhood in Xuzhou, and now that you finally have the opportunity, take me to see where you were born. ”

Once, how many people followed around, what a glory it was, and in the end, there was only one person left around.

Life is really an irony.

"Well, let's go." Zhuge Liang caressed his wife's walk, sighed and prepared to go back to the car.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a lot of dust in the direction of Chang'an.

After a while, more than ten horsemen and horses galloped over, and when Zhuge Liang saw the person who was the leader, his heart was suddenly excited, and all kinds of emotions stirred up in his heart, and he felt infinite emotion for a while.

The one who came was Fang Shao.

Fang Shao, who came from afar, turned over and dismounted, bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "Mr. walked so fast, Shao almost couldn't catch up, and it was too late to say goodbye to Mr." ”

"The Prime Minister came to send it, and Liang really didn't dare to take it." Zhuge Liang replied with a sneer, obviously he was still unable to let go.

Fang Shao didn't think it was strange, and said lightly: "One is a teacher, a lifelong teacher, and there is no prime minister who came to see him off today, only a student Fang Shao." ”

This sentence moved Zhuge Liang's heart greatly, and those pent-up resentments seemed to have dissipated a lot, and in an instant, it seemed to be back to the years in Longzhong.

Fang Shao made a gesture, his subordinates offered two glasses of wine, and Fang Shao took it in front of Zhuge Liang: "A cup of Mr. Jing, a student, is a farewell bar." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't move, he was still hesitating whether to take the glass of wine.

Fang Shao smiled and said, "Sir, isn't it still blaming the students?" The student remembers that during the palace banquet, he once said to the gentleman that no matter what the student's mistakes are, he will ask the gentleman to forgive him. ”

suddenly remembered what he said, it turned out that this kid had already foreshadowed.

"In the end, you have to calculate me again, it's really a ghost." Zhuge Liang took the wine glass, and his expression was much calmer.

After drinking a glass of wine, Fang Shao said: "Sir, rest assured, your ideal of the Zhongxing Han Room, the students must keep it in mind, and the students will complete it for Mr." ”

Having said this, the resentment and hatred in Zhuge Liang's heart seemed to be relieved, and he smiled slightly: "Okay, then you have to promise me that you must build my Han Dynasty into the first power in the world where the people are rich and the country is strong, so that all nations will prostrate under the heavenly power of my Han Dynasty." ”

Fang Shao said: "I swear with my surname, poor my Fang Shao will make the Han Dynasty the first powerful country in ancient times, so that my Han people, although they go to the country for thousands of miles, can still be protected by the prestige of the Han Dynasty." ”

After hearing Fang Shao's assurance, Zhuge Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart was extremely happy, and he said happily: "Since this is the case, then I will rest assured, okay, sir, I will leave, you can complete my volunteer well, if you don't do well, be careful that I will deduct your salary." ”

Hearing this sentence, Fang Shao's heart was also warm, and seeing Zhuge Liang get into the car, he arched his hand and said loudly: "Sir, cherish!" ”

"You can do it yourself, there will be a period later." Zhuge Liang didn't look back, only shook the feather fan.

The convoy set off and continued eastward, and Fang Shao stopped at the horse and looked into the distance, watching the convoy disappear from view.
