'Anything about me?' ’
Fang Shao wondered in his heart, but asked on his lips: "I don't know what good plan Mr. has, and what does he need me to do?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Well, Zhongzheng, in fact, you should know." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"I know?" Fang Shao became more and more confused.
At this time, Pang Tong also thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes, Zhongzheng, of course you know, but in my opinion, you can't be wronged in this matter, it's you who has benefited." ”
Wolong and Feng Xiao sang and together, Fang Shao was full of inexplicability, and said blankly: "What the hell are you talking about, I'm really a little confused." ”
Frowning and muttering, Fang Shao's heart suddenly shook, and he exclaimed, "Sir, you don't want me to-"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "That's right, that's right." ”
Fang Shao was surprised, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "How can this be, sir, the last time was enough for me to stand it, how can it be me this time, can I change it to someone else." ”
Pang Tong sneered: "Who let you mess with flowers and grass and hooked the heart of the young lady of the Ma family, otherwise someone is a good girl, why haven't you married for so many years, who are you waiting for, if you don't make a move, who can do this." ”
The Miss Ma family that Pang Tong refers to is naturally Ma Yunlu.
Zhuge Liang's strategy is actually very simple, and it has been used many times before, that is, marriage, allowing Fang Shao to marry Ma Yunlu and marry Ma Chao.
Youzhou, including local officials such as the Assassin and the county guards, are mostly people arranged by the imperial court, and many of the Youzhou legions from soldiers to generals are loyal to the imperial court, even if Ma Chao really wants to give up all rebellion, these people may not follow him.
Youzhou is not cooler than Xizhou, Ma Chao does not have much appeal there, and Ma Chao should naturally be very clear about this.
Therefore, the reason why Ma Chao did not dare to return to the dynasty in Youzhou was nothing more than to be afraid of the previous changes in Jinyang, and he was afraid that now that the Guanlong system has lost power and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will be retaliated against after he returns to the dynasty, and his status is not guaranteed.
Therefore, if you want Ma Chao to return to the DPRK and hand over the military power, you must give him a dose of reassurance and let him come back with confidence.
As the third person in Fang Jingxiang's civil official group, if Fang Shao can marry the Ma family, it will naturally be equivalent to releasing a strong friendly signal to Ma Chao, which can not only make Ma Chao feel at ease to return to the court, but also draw Ma Chao, an important figure of the Guanlong Group, to the Jingxiang family, so that the Guanlong Group, which has already declined, will be even more fragmented.
Of course, Zhuge Liang still has his own selfish thoughts, Fang Shao, as his student, is also his confidant, through Fang Shao to win over a big lord in the army like Ma Chao, it will naturally help him as the prime minister, to gain wider support in the army, and in the process of taking charge of the government in the future, it will weaken his scruples about Guan Yu.
Pang Tong didn't expect this, and Fang Shao didn't expect it either.
However, for Fang Shao, this can be regarded as a bad idea.
As a man, three wives and four concubines seem to be happy, but in fact, a man's energy is limited, and he may not be able to cope with it if there are more women. As far as Fang Shao is concerned, the two ladies in the family are already enough, and if another Ma Yunlu is added, then his family is afraid that it will become "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Sir, are you joking, why am I again?"
Fang Shao's word "again" obviously refers to something, because his second wife, Sun Shangxiang, was given to Fang Shao at that time because of the instructions given by Liu Bei in order to get along with Dongwu.
Now, for the sake of the country's interests, Zhuge Liang wants to marry Ma Yunlu himself, of course, he must use the word "again".
Uncle Baba wants to say goodbye to his brother-in-law, what kind of truth is this?
Zhuge Liang deliberately made a straight face: "Of course it's you, no one knows the surname of that Miss Ma family, and you have those ambiguities with others, do you think we don't know?" ”
Fang Shao was stunned, his face suddenly flushed slightly, he coughed a few times, and said, "But, sir, if you do this, aren't you afraid that Ah Rong will have thoughts in her heart?" ”
mentioned his sister, Zhuge Liang showed apologies on his face, and sighed: "In this matter, Ah Rong will probably be angry with me as an elder brother, but the overall situation is important, and there is no way to make some sacrifices, as a member of my Zhuge family, he should be sensible." ”
The overall situation is important, over the years, Fang Shao has heard these four words from Zhuge Liang's mouth the most, Fang Shao has to admit that his teacher is indeed a best politician, because only this kind of person can always focus on the overall situation, for the overall situation, dare to use any means.
Compared with Zhuge Liang's political consciousness, he Fang Shao is indeed slightly inferior.
Before Fang Shao could say anything more, Pang Tong waved his hand to stop it, and said a little unhappily: "Okay, Zhongzheng, you don't have to be cheap and sell well, this matter is settled, you just act according to the plan." ”
Pang Tong's words made Fang Shao very uncomfortable, as if he was just a machine acting on orders, he didn't need to have his own thoughts, even if he wanted to marry Ma Yunlu, he had to have the final say, not the feeling of being instructed by others and having to do it now.
Fang Shao hated the feeling of being forced.
At this time, Zhuge Liang also said: "Zhongzheng, some things should still be considered for the overall situation, and it is okay for you to make a little personal sacrifice, so you don't have to hesitate anymore." ”
If it was in the past, maybe Fang Shao would take it for granted to obey Zhuge Liang's arrangement, but the problem is that he is no longer the follower of that Wolong, and he only needs to follow orders in everything.
In the past ten years, he has experienced countless ups and downs, and has done so many vigorous things, Fang Shao has already grown up, and at this moment, he not only regards himself as a member of the Jingxiang Group, but also regards himself as an important minister of the country.
To be exact, he has his own thoughts, he already has his own ideas.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong haven't seen this yet.
"I still need to think twice about this matter, let me think about it again, I remember that I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first." This was the first time that Fang Shao had not followed Zhuge Liang's orders in person.
Looking at Fang Shao, who stood up, Zhuge Liang looked a little surprised, and Pang Tong, who was also surprised, sneered: "Kong Ming, your student has hardened his wings now, and he has his own ideas." I'm just afraid that one day in the future, hehe......"
Pang Tong didn't finish his words, but of course Zhuge Liang chewed it, at this moment, although he was also dissatisfied with Fang Shao's attitude in his heart, he smiled lightly on the surface: "Zhongzheng can have his own opinions, which shows that he is really a teacher, it seems that my careful cultivation of more than a dozen has finally not been in vain." ”
"Hehe-" Pang Tong didn't say anything more, just a strong sneer.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan leisurely, calmly, but in those bright eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible haze.
When Fang Shao left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went straight back to his mansion, and when he passed through the Ma Mansion, he wanted to enter the mansion to see Ma Yunlu, but he stopped in front of the mansion for a long time, and finally did not enter.
When I returned to the house, it was almost dusk.
When she returned home, it was Sun Shangxiang who came out to greet her, at this time, her belly was slightly bulging, but she was already pregnant, and in three or five months, Fang Shao would be a father for the third time.
"Ma'am, why did you come out?" Fang Shao hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Shangxiang, who was shy, with a caring and careful look.
For his care, Sun Shangxiang did not show a very happy appearance as before, but said lightly: "There is a guest at home, and I refused to leave after waiting for you for a long time, I wanted to send someone to look for you, but I didn't expect my husband to come back." ”
"If there is a visitor to the house, who will it be?" Fang Shao asked blankly.
"It's inside, you'll know when you see it."
Sun Shangxiang didn't say anything, but went to the guest hall with Fang Shao's support, and when he stepped into the door, Fang Shao's expression couldn't help but be shocked.
The visitor is Ma Yunlu.
Pinching my fingers, I have known her for nearly ten years, and I used to be those glamorous and coquettish, exotic women, and now although the face is still beautiful, I can vaguely see the traces left by the years.
Since last year, I haven't seen her for almost half a year, and now I don't want her to come to visit suddenly, and when I say goodbye, Fang Shao can't help but feel a little ripple in his heart.
"Husband, you're finally back, Miss Ma has been waiting for almost an afternoon." Zhuge Rong, who was talking with Ma Yunlu, stood up when he saw him come back, but there seemed to be a faint irony in that tone.
Fang Shao coughed lightly, walked into the hall, and arched his hand: "I have business to do, so Miss Ma has been waiting for a long time, please forgive me." ”
"It was I who took the liberty to visit and disturbed the two ladies, and I have to forgive the big Sima." Ma Yunlu said with a smile.
Fang Shao could vaguely feel that the two ladies beside him seemed to be looking at him with strange eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"That, Miss Ma is visiting this time, I don't know what is going on?" Fang Shao used the question to hide this somewhat delicate atmosphere.
Ma Yunlu glanced at the two women, bit his red lips, and said, "I do have something to do, and I don't know if I can talk to Fang Sima alone." ”
As a well-known woman, the other party Shao Fang's secret promise, now came to the door in person, and asked to be alone with Fang Shao in front of the two ladies, Ma Yunlu's request is the same as her surname, and it has not changed at all.
Fang Shao felt slightly embarrassed, but Zhuge Liang beside her seemed very generous, she hugged Sun Shangxiang and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then my sister and I will avoid it first, husband, you can talk to Miss Ma alone." ”
The two ladies walked into the back hall together, Fang Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes to Ma Yunlu, looked at the worried face, and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with Miss, I can talk about it now." ”
Ma Yunlu's face showed a hesitant expression, and after a few words of wanting to speak, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Zhongzheng, I am here to ask for something." ”
"What's the matter, Miss said, as long as Shao can do it, she will do her best."
"I want you to marry me."
