"It's a great opportunity, but how do you take it?" Pang Tong's face was excited. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said: "The reason why Kong Ming has been slow to react is that I expect that he will suddenly stand up and come up with his own system to suppress both of us when the big argument is lost, and at that time, there will be a rift between the master and apprentice, and Fang Zhongzheng will inevitably be angry." At that time, we can take the opportunity to turn against each other, change our tone and stand on the same side as Fang Zhongzheng, and use the joint efforts of our two sides to pull Kong Ming down from the position of the number one minister in the Han Empire. ”

Whether it is against Kong Ming alone or against Fang Shao, Pang Tong has no certainty of victory, but if he joins forces with Fang Shao to fight against Kong Ming, the chance of winning is not eighty percent but seventy percent.

Sima Yi's plan suddenly opened Pang Tong's eyes for a while.

Sima Yi continued: "As soon as Kong Ming is pulled down, the protégés and old officials under his command must be diverted to the disciples of Brother Shi Yuan and Fang Zhongzheng, and most of these people are Jingxiang scholars, compared with Fang Zhongzheng, Brother Shi Yuan, who was born in a famous family, must have a much more favorable impression of these people, and when the time comes, Brother Shi Yuan's power will definitely surpass Fang Zhongzheng in one fell swoop, and then use the momentum to find an opportunity to eradicate him together, at that time, the entire court is Brother Shi Yuan, haha——"

It is said that Sima Yi is good at scheming, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Pang Tong is also a brilliant person, and the stakes are clear, and he has secretly made up his mind in his heart, but he still has some concerns.

"The key to the success of our plan lies in the split between Fang Zhongzheng and Kong Ming, but you must know that these two are not only masters and apprentices, but also relatives, and there are entangled interests.

What Pang Tong said is where the biggest change in this plan lies.

The human heart is unpredictable.

Sima Yi was confident, and said with a smile: "When a person falls too deep into the mud of power, the friendship between master and apprentice, and the affection of relatives, are all floating clouds. I believe that the current Fang Zhongzheng will never let us down. ”

Sima Yi's words are meaningful, and he seems to be talking about Fang Shao and Kong Ming, and they have a good taste, but they also seem to have a taste for themselves.

However, these are no longer important, the important thing is that Pang Tong is already convinced of Sima Yi's success.

Hehe laughed dryly, Pang Tong said: "If the big thing can be done, then Zhongda is the first credit, what does Zhongda want, although it is said." ”

Sima Yi said very plainly: "Yi has nothing to do, if there is really any request, please ask Brother Shi Yuan to continue to exert his efforts to make the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" the only system for electing officials in the Han Dynasty." ”

This requirement seems to have no immediate interests with him, but in fact, it is related to the foundation of Sima Yi.

Most of the world's famous families are located in the Central Plains, once the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is restarted, it is only a matter of time before the famous families in the Central Plains grasp the power to support the government and the opposition, and the Sima clan is the head of the Central Plains Shi clan, and the benefits obtained from it can be imagined.

Even if Pang Tong replaced Zhuge to control the power of the Han Dynasty, how could the Jingxiang scholars led by him Pang be able to defeat the famous families of the Central Plains, and the hard-working Han Dynasty would still have the surname "Wei" sooner or later.

Pang Tong sees the immediate benefits, but Sima Yi is calculating the long-term benefits, and the importance of the power scheme is higher and which is lower, in fact, it is already clear.

………… A new rain filled the air with the scent of earth.

Fang Shao stood outside the courtyard, silently watching the drizzle in the courtroom, and in his calm expression, he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Fang Shao ordered to prepare a car and go out of the city to the east of the city to worship Emperor Zhaowu.

The scale of Fang Ling is not large, and this is also in accordance with Liu Bei's will before his death, and the simple burial is carried out. However, the number of troops stationed in Fangling is not small.

The main purpose of this army of more than 3,000 people was not to protect the imperial tomb, but to monitor the hundreds of Cao and Sun guards who had been forcibly relocated here.

According to the way of dealing with Cao Ying, Sun Quan and his Sun clan were also moved here to guard the tomb for Liu Bei.

After worshipping Liu Bei's spiritual seat, Fang Shao suddenly remembered to visit the two emperors who had been defeated in his hands.

Fang Shao first went to Cao Ying's residence, and before he entered the house, he was amused by the scene seen from the window.

In the center of the lobby, Cao Ying and Sun Quan are sitting upright, and a bronze statue of Liu Bei is set up on the platform behind the middle, as if watching the two of them compete in black and white.

"Wait, that doesn't count." Cao Ying saw that he had made a wrong move and openly regretted his move.

Sun Quan was not happy, and hurriedly grabbed the child: "There are no regrets about losing chess, you are old and confused, do you understand." ”

"Of course I know, I said that I accidentally fell into the son, and I will go again."

"No, unless I take the same step in front of me."

"Then how can it be done, then I won't eat your son in vain."

…… Seeing that these two once life-and-death rivals were so bored that they quarreled over one move, Fang Shao did not have a sense of irony, but felt a little relieved.

The two people in the room heard the laughter, and their eyes moved from the chess to the door, Fang Shao strode in and said with a smile: "The two of you are so idle." ”

As soon as Cao Ying saw that it was Fang Shao, his face pulled down again, and he pouted: "Who do I think it is, Zhongmou, it turns out that your good brother-in-law has come to see you." ”

"It's so kind, what's the matter, the two of you must be friends, right?" Fang Shao asked.

Sun Quan shrugged helplessly: "No way, stay in this kind of boring place, you can become friends by killing your father and enemy, what, do you want to give it a try." ”

"Then you don't have to." Fang Shao didn't need to be invited, he sat down generously, although it was Cao Ying's territory, but the two of them were just prisoners with identity in the final analysis, in front of them, Fang Shao still had absolute authority.

Fang Shao took a closer look at the game of chess, and suddenly felt something, and sighed: "In this game of chess, the white son has the advantage in the center, and the black corner has the upper hand, and the number of wins and losses is unpredictable." ”

He invisibly revealed the situation of the big man in front of him with the wind and clouds of this chess piece.

The two around him are not good birds, even if they nest between the tombs and don't know the information, through a few rumors, they can guess eight or nine points in advance about the outside.

"It seems that the invincible ghost is planning with soldiers, but now he can't do anything when he encounters this temple dispute." Cao Ying laughed out loud as he spoke, as if he saw that Fang Shao had trouble in his heart, he was very gloating.

"What Zhongzheng is worried about should be the controversy between the imperial examination and the nine-grade system, right?" Sun Quan's attitude was much better.

Fang Shao did not shy away from it, and said with a straight smile: "That's right, I would like to hear what opinions the two of you have." ”

Sun Quan sneered: "I don't know much about the imperial examination system, the nine-grade system, in the future, it will be the scholars who will be in charge, hmph, how did the scholars in Jiangdong fly separately when the disaster came, you also know, if the Han Ting wants to use the nine-grade system, hehe." ”

Sun Quan has been fighting with the Jiangdong Shi clan for many years, and he can most deeply understand the terrible power of the scholars.

Fang Shao's gaze turned to Cao Ying again: "What about Cao Gong, you are scheming, I don't know what to learn?" ”

"This still needs to be asked, I naturally hope that the infighting of the Han Dynasty and Pang Tong's family will win, in this way, in the future, the Liu family will be hollowed out by the Shi clan, and it can be regarded as avenging my Cao Ying, haha-" Cao Ying was really outspoken, and his revenge against Dahan and Fang Shao in his heart was not reduced at all.

However, although Cao Ying's words were straightforward, to Fang Shao's ears, they had the meaning of reminding.

The so-called authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear, after hearing the words of these two bystanders, Fang Shao suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Fang Shao then got up and bowed his hand to the two of them: "The filial piety of the two, Fang Shao remembered it in his heart, thank you, don't delay your game of chess, and leave first." ”

Fang Shao strode away, and as soon as he went out, there was another sound of the two arguing behind him.

"He's gone, let's go down again, and the step just now doesn't count."

"When did you say yes? Don't regret it, hey, put it down. ”

…… When Fang Shao returned to the mansion, Jiang Wan and Ma Jian had been waiting for half an hour.

"Da Sima, Wan's eloquence is not good, and the Prime Minister's trip has disappointed you." Jiang Wan shook his head and sighed.

Jiang Wan stood on the side of the imperial examination system, and assisted Zhuge Liang in handling national affairs for so many years, and the relationship between the two was quite close, Fang Shao originally wanted to use Jiang Wan to persuade Zhuge Liang, but now it seems that this last hope has also been dashed.

Fang Shao didn't seem very disappointed, he calmly accepted the facts, comforted Jiang Wan with kind words, and personally sent him out of the house.

After Jiang Wan left, Ma Jian asked: "Da Sima, it seems that the Prime Minister's insistence on restoring the old system cannot be changed, I don't know how Da Sima will deal with it?" ”

Fang Shao sighed: "What else? The prime minister is my mentor, if it weren't for his support and teaching, how could I get today's status, if the prime minister insisted on restoring the old system, then I, as a student, could only retreat and obey. ”

Hearing Fang Shao's words, Ma Jian also sighed, and sighed: "Da Sima values affection and friendship, and he is really a model for us." ”

The two sighed for a while, and Fang Shao sent Ma Jian away.

As soon as Ma Tan left, Mrs. Zhuge Rong turned into the back hall and said with a smile: "What, Gongyan and Youchang are all gone?" ”

"Gone, gone."

Zhuge Rong walked behind Fang Shao and knelt down, gently pressed his shoulders for him with both hands, and asked, "Brother, he insists on refusing to support his husband, does his husband really plan to back down?" ”

Fang Shao stroked his wife's hand and smiled softly: "Of course, Prime Minister he is my mentor and my brother-in-law, in the final analysis, he is his own person, who else can he let if he is not allowed to." ”

After hearing her husband's words, Zhuge Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really difficult for my husband, I will cook myself tonight, cook a few intimate side dishes for my husband, and comfort my husband." ”

"Then thank you for the good wife." Fang Shao smiled with relief and indifference.
