Seeing Sun Shao's red face and not speaking for a long time, Daqiao couldn't help but smile and said: "I know, you are an understanding person, I don't need to say more, it's just that you are in a high position now, and you are encouraging childbearing, I think not many people dare to persuade you on this issue." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Mother doesn't want to say too much, just remind you that from the origin of this joyful Zen you said, or the starting point of Taoism in the room, it actually shows a problem, this kind of thing should be known in moderation, and it hurts the body if you don't know moderation. When the country was first built, Ah Yu was still young, and many affairs still depended on you, so you couldn't indulge yourself and ruin your good future. ”

Sun Shao listened and nodded awkwardly. Seeing that his expression was still unnatural, Daqiao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked a few more questions, but Sun Shao answered a few vaguely, made an excuse, and got up and left Changle Palace. Ohashi thought that he didn't think he was speaking well, so he couldn't help but sigh.

When Sun Shao returned to the palace, his face was still a little hot, and Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui, who were sitting and gossiping, were very curious when they saw it, but Sun Shao was weak in his heart, and he didn't take the initiative to mention what happened just now, just pretended to be casual and talked to them a few words. When Guan Feng saw it, he didn't ask, and handed over a quick report: "Yizhou County has news." ”

"Really?" Sun Shaozheng wanted to find something to cover up, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Everything is going well, with the help of the Shan and the Huren, General Zhang Da is progressing smoothly, connecting the main force that defeated Meng Huo and others, capturing Yonghong and others, and has basically pacified Yizhou County, and the Yi people of Yongchang County also dispersed in a hurry when they heard this. It's just that there are still many people scattered in the mountains and forests, and it will take a lot of time to completely clean them up. However, the king of Shu was seriously ill and hoped that the general and the prince would return to Chengdu as soon as possible, and General Zhang was very embarrassed by this. ”

Sun Shao pursed his lips and thought about it, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's time to go back." Those Yi people were born and raised, and it is not very realistic to completely eliminate them, and they are both gracious and powerful, and now that the first evil has been eliminated, it is time to give grace. Conquest and conquest, if there is no grace, it is only a conquest, it is protracted, and in the end it is in vain, which is not necessarily a good thing. He thought for a moment and sighed again: "It's a pity, if there is enough population now, and a million people are moved there, as many barbarians as there can be wiped out." ”

Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui glanced at each other, and they both pursed their lips and smiled. Sun Shao is now focused on increasing the population, after the Tianzhu Shui Division, he only sent more than 5,000 people to Ceylon Island, to assist the Sinhalese King Nimar to stabilize the situation, there is no other move, one mind to take care of the newly acquired Taizhou and Haizhou, single-mindedly increase the population.

"King, you asked the ministers to make plans to increase the population of the Han people, should you also make some efforts?" Guan Feng glanced at Xiahou Hui with a smile: "Yuanrong is already sixteen years old, isn't it time to think about it?" ”

Xiahou Hui suddenly blushed with shame.

Sun Shao glanced at Xiahou Hui, Xiahou Hui has been by his side for six years, from a child to a budding little woman, although in his opinion, sixteen-year-old Xiahou Hui is still a child, but in this era, it is a little late to marry at the age of sixteen. Xiahou Hui is not very pretty, and now there is still some baby fat, but girls at this age have an enviable vitality.

"Don't think that only Yuanrong is responsible, so are you, we have to work together to give birth to seventeen or eighteen babies for him." Sun Shao laughed and said: "Otherwise, how can Ah Yu manage such a big world." ”

Xiahou Hui's eyes lit up, Sun Shao's meaning seemed to be to divide the sons, that is to say, in the future, not only Ah Yu, but also the sons she gave birth to will have the opportunity to divide the seals. She glanced at Guan Feng quietly, but saw that Guan Feng was still unconscious, and still said with a smile: "The king has an edict, and the concubines dare not obey." However, the king wants seventeen or eighteen sons, but he is not a person who can do it with two concubines, should the king also choose some Han women with both virtues and virtues to enter the palace? ”

Sun Shao laughed awkwardly, of course he knew what Guan Feng meant and who he was referring to. He thought for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "By the way, I heard that General Zhang's wife is Xiahou?" ”

"Yes, it's Yuanrong's aunt." Guan Feng smiled and took Xiahou Hui's hand: "I asked Yuanrong, Yuanrong didn't know much about it originally, but when her father came, she asked about it." Speaking of which, it's been twenty-five or six years. ”

"That's right." Sun Shao smiled: "Then you can discuss and write a letter to General Zhang." Tell him what we mean, and then let him tell the King of Shu and Prime Minister Zhuge that if you want to completely pacify Yizhou and Yongchang, it is best to start trade immediately, trade is also good for the Yi people, at least you can raise troops with business, and slowly, this road will be opened. If possible, it is best to let him station troops near Yongchang, and they can also help if we go to war with Tianzhu in the future. ”

Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui understood and nodded again and again.

In June of the sixth year of the Republic, Yizhou County governed Dianchi Lake.

Zhang Fei, who is nearly sixty years old, stroked his gray beard, stood on the east bank of the vast Dianchi Lake, and was silent. Hu Du, Li Hui, Fan Jiang and others will stand not far behind him with the crown prince Liu Chan, all of them full of spirit and a little nervous. With the help of the Shan and Hu people sent by the Yue Kingdom, Zhang Fei's year-long southern expedition was finally completed, and the culprit Yonghong was awarded the head, and the indigenous army such as Meng Huo was defeated and escaped into the deep mountains and old forests. Now that Liu Bei, the king of Shu, is seriously ill, he wants Zhang Fei and the crown prince Liu Chan to return to Chengdu as soon as possible, and if the army is to be left here, it is natural to leave one person to be fully responsible for the affairs here. Although Yizhou County is vast and sparsely populated, it borders several subject countries of Yue and Wu, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has decided to develop the south, which will become a transit station in the south, it is conceivable that there will be no less oil and water in it, and it is justifiably used to raise soldiers, you can make a fortune and there is no risk, and it is much safer than going to Chengdu to be an official. Everyone knows that once the king dies and the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then the power will fall into the hands of the general Zhang Fei and the prime minister Zhuge Liang, the military power will be in the hands of Zhang Fei, and the power will fall into the hands of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is a strict person, he rules the country by law, and he hates things like corruption very much, and the people of Shu are afraid of him. In comparison, this place that can justifiably reap the benefits is very rare.

The crown prince Liu Chan looked at the water of Dianchi Lake silently, but the rest of his eyes were looking at the faces of the generals. After following Zhang Fei for a year, he has gained some insight and knows what these people are thinking. It's just that his mind is not here, he really wants to go to Funan to have a look, and see the Yue King Sun Shao that everyone is talking about. I heard that King Yue was not a few years older than him, and when he was so old, he had already fought on the battlefield, and in less than a few years, he became the head of the four kings, and he was even more majestic than his father, who had fought for forty years.

He was very curious.

But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only hide this thought in his heart. He knew that it was impossible for the general and father-in-law to agree, and his father, Liu Bei, was seriously ill, and he, as the crown prince, wanted to rush back to succeed to the throne, instead of traveling the world like an ordinary scholar.

"Alas—" Liu Chan sighed silently, full of helplessness.

"Prince, the king is sick, the old minister wants to accompany the prince back to Chengdu, and there is a need to leave one cadre here to preside over the overall situation, which one does the prince think is more suitable?" Zhang Fei seemed to hear Liu Chan's sigh, turned around, bowed, and said respectfully. Although Zhang Fei is Liu Chan's father-in-law, he has always been courteous to Liu Chan, not as arrogant as the former general Guan Yu, and always speaks to Liu Chan in a tone of lessons.

Liu Chan smiled, Zhang Fei had already discussed this matter with him, and the candidate had already been decided, the reason why he said this was just that he had to give this favor.

"You are all talented, this southern expedition has made meritorious contributions, after returning to Chengdu, General Chan and He will definitely report to the king and reward him." Liu Chan's words were not fast, giving people a very friendly feeling, and there was no coercion in his eyes, he was as peaceful as the boy next door. The generals looked at each other, knowing that this was the foreshadowing ahead, and told everyone that even if they couldn't stay here, they would not treat you badly when they returned to Chengdu. They comprehended, arched their hands, and said:

"This is the duty of a minister."

"It is a blessing for the ministers to be able to go on the expedition with the prince and the general."

"Being able to attach the prince's tail, the ministers and others have benefited a lot."

"Yizhou is the Yizhou of the Han Dynasty and the Yizhou of Shu, but it is also the Yizhou of Yizhou people. If you want to govern this place well, you must know the folk customs here. Although the generals are very good at fighting, if you want to be familiar with the people here, I am afraid that De'ang is the first. Liu Chan pointed at Li Hui, Li Hui was suddenly excited, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"Prince, the old system of the Han Dynasty, the locals are not allowed to be local herdsmen, although De'ang is familiar with the people of Yizhou, I'm afraid it doesn't agree with the law, right?" Zhang Fei stroked his beard quietly and said. When Li Hui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The general is reasonable, the minister is from Yizhou, and he is not allowed to be too shou in Yizhou according to the rules, all the monarchs are talented, please choose someone else." He is willing to do his best to serve the dogs and horses. ”

There was a rule in the Han Dynasty that in order to prevent localism and the self-improvement of local clans, locals could not be the supreme governor of the local area, for example, Yizhou people could not be Taishou for Yizhou, but could only go to other counties to be Taishou. On this basis, there is also a three-mutual law, that is, people who are related to each other cannot be county guards, which is also to prevent the expansion of local power. This rule was abandoned when the world was in turmoil, but with the pacification of the general trend of the world, this rule has been re-enforced, Zhang Fei said this, there is nothing wrong with it, and Li Hui can only agree.

"yes, that's a shame." Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Brazil and Yizhou have similar folk customs, and the fox is loyal and talented, and he is also a suitable candidate. ”

When Hu Du heard this, he immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, Li Hui heard it, and knew that he must have no chance, so he had to step forward to give a salute and accept the order. Liu Chan comforted him a few more words according to Zhang Fei's prior care, and then officially appointed Hu Du as the Taishou of Yizhou, and at the same time appointed Li Hui as Gongcao. Hu Du and Li Hui stepped forward to thank him, and then retreated.

Zhang Fei has been watching all this calmly, and he has neither a happy expression nor an unhappy expression on Liu Chan's performance, but only when everyone will go separately to prepare, he showed a smile: "The prince's spirit is obvious, and he will definitely be able to inherit the king's career in the future, and govern Shu smoothly, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

Liu Chan raised his head and glanced at the sky to the south, and said with a smile: "Zen is young, and I hope that my father-in-law will support him a lot." ”

Zhang Fei smiled: "That's the duty of the old minister, why use the prince's orders." ”

Liu Chan glanced at him and felt a little bored, these people all treat themselves as children, but they are extremely respectful in their mouths, but in their hearts it is not like this at all, it is really boring. Alas, when can you be like King Yue, you can decide everything yourself.

Zhang Fei followed behind Liu Chan, walking slowly along the water's edge, he looked at Liu Chan's somewhat lonely back, and shook his head helplessly. His daughter is Liu Chan's concubine, he can roughly know Liu Chan's thoughts, but he can have a way, although Liu Chan is not stupid, but there is still a distance from a qualified Shu king, and his little brain doesn't know what he is thinking, and he seems to be very unhappy about returning to Chengdu, as if he wants to return to a cage.

"General, compared to the other three kingdoms, is our Shu Kingdom big or small?" Liu Chan suddenly asked lightly.

Zhang Fei hesitated for a while, and then said: "Prince, although Shu is not as good as Wei and Yue, and can only stand side by side with Wu, but the prince is a clan and is the closest person to His Majesty the Han Dynasty, so ...... In terms of important surnames, my Shu Kingdom is not weaker than them. ”

Liu Chan turned half of his body and glanced at Zhang Fei, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he didn't say anything. He knew that Zhang Fei was comforting him again.

"Go back, Prince." Zhang Fei persuaded in a harmonious voice: "The king is looking forward to the prince's return in Chengdu." ”

"Well, let's go back." Liu Chan glanced at the southern sky again regretfully, turned around and got into the car, and soon, the convoy slowly started and drove north.

Chengdu Shu Palace, Liu Bei half leaned on the bed, Lahuang's face was full of sweat, and the prime minister Zhuge Liang, the general of the Chinese army, Zhao Yun and others who rushed to hear the news knelt in front of the bed, and they didn't dare to come out. Liu Bei gasped, and it took a long time to calm down, and he beckoned weakly: "Kong Ming, Zilong, come close." ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun hurriedly moved a few steps forward, leaning on the edge of the bed with their hands, and looked up at Liu Bei, who was palpitating.

"Kong Ming, Lone sees filial piety." Liu Bei's godless eyes looked at the bottom of the curtain, his eyes were full of uneasiness and fear, Zhuge Liang thought about it, and was just about to persuade him, Liu Bei said again: "Gu also saw Mrs. Elk, she was covered in mud, and kept telling Gu that she was cold, and she was shivering with cold. ”

Zhao Yun's snow-white eyebrows furrowed, and a wave of guilt welled up in his heart. Mrs. Mi died in Changbanpo, that was the most tragic of Liu Bei's countless defeats in his life, Mrs. Elk died, her two daughters were lost, and the hundreds of thousands of people who fled with him were also lost in the thousands of troops that had accumulated for several years, if it weren't for Guan Yu who still had 10,000 sailors at that time, he would have almost nothing, and finally could only bow to Sun Quan.

"King, Mrs. Mi has been buried." Zhuge Liang reminded softly: "The two princesses are also living well in the Wei Kingdom, and they also sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago. ”

"Zilong, can you go to Nanjun for Gu?" Liu Bei turned his gaze to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun hesitated: "The king has orders, and the ministers are omniscient." ”

"Go to Nanjun and bring Mrs. Gan's coffin to Gu." Liu Bei sighed: "Lone can't go back to Zhuo County, let her be Lone's companion." ”

"Your Ministers obey." Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Please rest at ease the king, the prime minister has already sent someone to the Yue country to invite the most divine doctor Dong Feng to come and treat the king, not to mention that he will be able to arrive, and the king will definitely recover." ”

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang, who lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he did not speak. He looked at Zhao Yun with some pity, Zhao Yun was good at everything, loyal, heroic, almost all the virtues of a courtier could be found in him, but unfortunately, he trusted Zhuge Liang too much. He was a perfect courtier, but not a minister who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

"Prime Minister, where are the crown prince and the general?"

"The prince and the general learned that the king was sick, and they were rushing to Chengdu at night, and now they have arrived in Han'an, and they will be able to reach Chengdu in half a month." Zhuge Liang had tears in his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "The general came to the army to report that in this southern expedition, the prince came to the front line in person, and if the command was determined, he had the style of the king back then." If the king sees the prince, he will be happy, and when the time comes, some minor illnesses will be cured naturally, so please recuperate with peace of mind and don't think too much. ”

"Hehehe......" Liu Bei laughed softly. When he thought of Liu Chan, his eyebrows revealed a kind of fatherly kindness. Of course he didn't believe Zhuge Liang's words, what kind of person Liu Chan was, he was a father who knew it very much. But from another point of view, he hopes that Liu Chan will really grow. Last time the East China Sea Alliance, Guan Feng persuaded him to let Liu Chan go out to see the world more, and after he came back, he deliberately took Liu Chan to a nearby county for a trip. Although Liu Chan did not show much talent in governing the country, it is obvious that Liu Chan's surname is much more cheerful, he no longer only knows how to play some very childish games with his attendants as before, but is attracted by all kinds of new things, he began to take the initiative to care about all kinds of news, began to take the initiative to find books to read, his favorite is Sun Shao's "New Classic of Mountains and Seas" - he is very interested in the illustrations there, and often asks him about Sun Shao's situation, and his words are full of yearning, He expressed his interest in making contributions like Sun Shao, but did not care about governing the country at all as before.

This made Liu Bei very excited.

Liu Bei smiled to himself for a moment, looked at the back of Zhuge Liang's head and said: "Kong Ming, after the southern expedition is completed, the trade road to Tianzhu and Funan is opened, and the strength of my Shu Kingdom should be able to increase, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded without thinking: "According to the minister's estimate, in the next five years, the trade route to the south will increase the tax of my Shu country by two percent, plus the gold, silver, bamboo, wood and lacquered horses in southern Xinjiang, and the military resources are abundant, and the strength of my Shu country will increase significantly." ”

"If the court marches westward, can my Shu Kingdom also participate in it?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up a little.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Yes." He paused for a moment, and then said: "In order to accumulate materials, the minister suggested that he cooperate with Yue Guo to buy some steam engines, and at the same time organize people to imitate them. ”

"A steam engine." Liu Bei laughed and nodded: "Buy a few, in addition, let your brother come back too, after studying in Zhuya for so long, it's time to come back and contribute to my Shu Kingdom." ”

"Whoa." Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.

"Zilong, when Yide comes back, you can discuss with him and select some people among the young people, and you will take them to Funan for half a year. I heard that Sun Shao built a martial arts hall in Funan, specializing in training generals. After the Southern Expedition, Shu had peace for a few years, and peace was good for the people, but it was not good for the training of generals. You go and see, if it's really good, come back and we will also build a martial arts hall, wing virtue is complicated, you will be the first martial arts hall sacrifice bar. ”

Liu Bei said a lot of words in one breath, and he couldn't catch his breath, so he had to stop, gasping for breath, he raised his hand and hooked his finger at Li Yan, who was kneeling in the distance. Li Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward and rushed to the back of Zhao Yun.

"Zhengfang, you are quite capable of being a soldier, and you are in the prime of life, I want you to be Zilong's deputy and help him share some affairs."

"Whoa." Li Yan replied loudly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes jumped, but there was no abnormality on his face. Liu Bei's arrangement looks natural, but it faintly reveals a different meaning.

(To be continued)
