At the end of the tenth year of Jian'an, the war in northern Xinjiang was rekindled.

The Chinese military ministers of the dynasty jointly sent a letter to Shangshu, imploring the Han Emperor to personally conquer and sit in Yanjing.

In the face of the passionate civil and military officials, Emperor Han didn't know what to do. He had a hunch that once he left the Central Plains for Yanjing this time, he would never want to return to the Central Plains in this life. In other words, he would become the first emperor in history to be exiled. What happens to an exiled emperor? You don't have to think about it to guess.

Emperor Han has controlled the government through Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Cao **, but he has to admit that these people are far less vicious than Liu Chuang's methods.

On the second day of the court meeting, the news that the hundred officials invited the Son of Heaven to drive the expedition spread all over the streets and alleys.

For the people of Xudu, whether the Son of Heaven goes to Luoyang or Yanjing has nothing to do with them. Because they already knew that the Han Emperor was about to move the capital, and there were not many sons left in Xu County as the center. After losing the central position, how should the Xudu people deal with themselves? Now, they are more concerned about the future development of Xudu.

Therefore, ordinary people do not have much idea about the news of Emperor Han's personal conquest.

It's just that the people don't have many ideas, and the lack doesn't mean that others don't have ideas. After learning the news of the Son of Heaven's personal conquest, the students of the Tai Academy Guozijian gathered outside Yuxiu to cheer, and they must have opened their mouths and closed their mouths: Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!

After all, the Han family has been in decline for many years, and today's son wants to drive the expedition in person, which is also the best time to promote my Han Tianwei. After being secretly coaxed by someone with a heart, the simple Tai students not only thought that this was a bad thing, but thought that it was a signal that the general Liu Chuang was ready to return to power. As a result, the voice of the emperor's uncle Liu Chuang's loyalty to the Han family came and went, and it also laid a very solid foundation for Liu Chuang's worship of the prime minister, and won many praises.

"Uncle Liu's move is indeed powerful."

In the general's mansion, after Zhuge Jin listened to Wang Lujiu's report, he couldn't help but sigh.

Others can't see the trick here, but it's not easy to hide from Zhuge Jin's eyes. In terms of qualifications, Zhuge Jin may not be as outstanding as Zhuge Liang. But he has also been through many things, and he is very intelligent. Otherwise, it would not be possible to become the governor of the Jiangdong Navy in history.

Zhuge Jin is a very stable person, and his surname is also very cautious.

He looked at Wang Lujiu, and his heart was full of emotion.

He listened to Wang Lujiu's advice and came to visit Zhuge Ling. Facts have also proved that Liu Chuang knows his every move. When he saw Zhuge Ling, he attracted Zhuge Ling's complaints.

"Why is my brother here now?

When my husband said that my brother came back, I thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it...... My brother is too, when he arrives in Xudu, why do he want to live in the inn of Na Laoshizi? I sent someone to pick up my brother's luggage and stayed here.

The husband is a little busy these two times, and there are too many affairs between the DPRK and China, so I am afraid that there is no time to entertain. He explained to me and asked me to take care of my brother. When he is done with the business at hand, he will definitely take care of his brother in person. ”

Busy?

Maybe it's a fact.

But if Liu Chuang is so busy that he doesn't even have time to entertain Zhuge Jin, it is estimated that even Zhuge Ling himself doesn't believe it.

Zhuge Jin also knew very well in his heart that this was Liu Chuang's solicitation of him.

However, before soliciting, Liu Chuang will do something to convince him, otherwise there is no need to solicit.

It's just that Zhuge Jin didn't expect Liu Chuang to put his ambition in front of him so naked. The Son of Heaven is just my plaything. When I want to get rid of him, it's a simple matter. After he lived in the General's Mansion, Liu Chuang still let Wang Lujiu follow him, which was also a kind of protection for him. First, Wang Lujiu was Liu Chuang's person, and he stayed by Zhuge Jin's side to facilitate surveillance.

In these two ways, Wang Lujiu can act as a liaison between Zhuge Jin and the outside world to communicate with Pei Xuan.

After all, Zhuge Jin is Sun Quan's subordinate, and he came to Xu Capital this time to also shoulder the task. If you don't show a gesture to the outside world, it won't affect Zhuge Jin's family. Others Liu Chuang may not consider it, but Zhuge Jin's wife he has to be cautious. Although she is not Zhuge Ling's biological mother, she is their elder after all. In case something happens, Liu Chuang is really difficult to explain to Zhuge Ling.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin has been trapped in the General's Mansion on the surface, but in fact he is living quite freely.

"Lu Jiu, did Uncle Huang say, when will you see me?"

Wang Lujiu smiled and said, "Mr. Ziyu can't help but think too highly of me......

I'm just an insignificant little person under Uncle Huang, how can I talk to Uncle Huang? If you want to see the emperor's uncle, it is best to pass the word through Mrs. Guò. But I have another little Jianyì, if you haven't made up your mind yet, Mr. Ziyu, it's best not to see Uncle Huang, which will make Uncle Huang feel bored.

If you haven't made up your mind, you might as well look at the situation again.

As far as I can tell, things are almost settled. Maybe at that time, the gentleman will know how to choose. ”

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"If the dust settles, I'm afraid that Uncle Huang's opinion of me will be much lower.

Zhuge Ziyu may be timid and afraid, but he is also a person who understands the importance of things...... I saw Uncle Huang in Xu Du later, and I will be a little weaker in the future. However, in this matter, I still ask Lu Jiu to do the work on his behalf and make a communication to the emperor's uncle, I **advocate. ”

When Zhuge Jin said this, Wang Lujiu stopped persuading.

"I should report this matter to the authorities, but when Uncle Huang will meet Mr. is not up to me."

"You just have to do it."

Zhuge Jin has his own plans.

If he passed the word through Guò Zhuge Ling, he would only stand in the court as a relative of the emperor and the country.

Mo said that he is on a par with Zhuge Liang, and I am afraid that even Zhuge Jun is not comparable.

He must prove to Liu Chuang that he is worth his existence, and he must let others know that he did not rely on nepotism to gain a firm foothold in the court. After all, compared with Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Xun You, Zhuge Jin is too inferior in terms of qualifications and fame. Langya Zhuge is not the kind of wealthy family. In terms of fame, Zhuge Jin only has a small statement in Jiangdong, and he is not worthy of the title of celebrity at all.

He crossed the river with his mother in his early years, and it was not easy to gain a firm foothold.

Later, he was recommended by Lu Su to be regarded as appreciated by Sun Quan...... This kind of qualification is insignificant in the Central Plains. Looking at the current situation of the elk family, although Mi Zhu is reused, it is not the real core; Elk Fang is very popular, but under Liu Chuang's account, his status is not particularly high. In the final analysis, the foundation of the Elk family is too shallow. Fortunately, Mi Zhu Elk Fang also saw it very clearly, so all along, he did not show a sense of existence, but did things silently. What about Liu Chuang? Therefore, he has always loved the elk family.

But, that's all.

If the Elk family wants to become a wealthy family, it will take at least three generations of hard work to lay a solid foundation.

Now, they are silently accumulating strength, not fighting or grabbing in the court, and their position is very stable. But if you want to develop again, unless you can come out with someone as talented as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Xu Shu.

Otherwise, even if someone like Xu Shu is truly accepted, it will be thanks to him marrying Cai Wenji, Kong Rong's support, and Cai Yong's popularity during his lifetime. To sum up, Xu Shu can only be accepted by the wealthy families of the scholar clan now.

There is still a long way to go.

Zhuge Jin never thought that one day he would be able to hold power like Zhuge Liang, but for the sake of the family, he also had to prove his worth.

Next, it depends on Liu Chuang's reaction......

++++++++++++++++++++++

Zhuge Jin's request to see Liu Chuang was sent by Wang Lu Jiutong, and he arrived at Liu Chuang's bookcase that night.

Seeing Zhuge Jin's request, Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing.

Zhuge Jin is a smart person, he knows when he is and how he should do things.

After thinking about it, Liu Chuang summoned Yang Wei, "Zilu, and arrange it, it means that at noon, I will invite Ziyu to a banquet in the mansion, and invite Zijia and Bo Miao to accompany me." ”

"No!"

The sheep bowed down to receive the command, and immediately withdrew.

Liu Chuang is very satisfied with Yang.

This was not a particularly famous figure in history, but he had extraordinary talents. After he arrived at the Great General's Mansion, he immediately proceeded with the things in Fa Zheng's hands. Different from the wisdom of Fa Zheng, Yang Wei is more calm, and handles all trivial affairs in the house in an orderly and orderly manner.

Liu Chuang is around, and now there is no shortage of think tanks.

After Sima Yi was divided into three in the Yellow Pavilion, he could spare more energy to give advice to Liu Chuang, and no longer run around like before. As for his family affairs, Liu Chuang is not particularly clear. He didn't know what means Sima Yi used to persuade Zhang Chunhua and Guo Huan, two women who were known for their strength and intelligence in history. At least on the surface, Sima Yi is embracing left and right, and the family is exceptionally harmonious.

But there's a mystery here......

Liu Chuang is not very interested, and Sima Yi will not explain.

In addition to Sima Yi, there are Jia Xu and Xun Yu who are behind Liu Chuang, and Xun Yu can pick up the missing and fill in the gaps.

After taking over Cao **'s forces completely, Liu Chuang's side has plenty of brains.

In this case, the sheep needs to act as an executor. And that's what he's done very well.

Lu Yu, now has entered Shangshutai, is Shangshutai Langzhong, assisting Sima Fang in doing things.

After he left, the post of Wen Changshi was taken over by Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi had previously sent an envoy to Xichuan to persuade Liu Zhang to send troops, which frightened Zhang Lu into hastily collecting his troops, so that the battle of Guanzhong could be won. After Deng Zhi returned to Yanjing, he has been working under Lu Yu. This time, Lu Yu was promoted, so he recommended Deng Zhi. couldn't help but so, Deng Zhi also solved a big problem for Sima Yi, which made Sima Yi very grateful.

Previously, Liu Chuang had asked Sima Yi to look for a person named Deng Ai in Nanyang.

Sima Yi found clues in Jianyang County, Nanyang County, but under questioning, there was no one named Deng Ai.

It was also by chance that Sima Yi and Deng Zhi mentioned the matter.

When Deng Zhi went home to worship his ancestors at the beginning of the year, he accidentally found Deng Ai.

It turned out that Deng Ai was not originally called Deng Ai, but Deng Fan. Jianyang Deng Village is an important minister around Emperor Guangwu, and it is also the head of the 28 generals of Yuntai, and the clansmen of Deng Yu, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the entire Deng Village, there were two people named Deng Fan. One is older, the other is young. Xiao Deng Fan felt that it was a very unruly thing for him to have the same name as his elders, so he proposed to the patriarch to change his name when he worshipped his ancestors at the beginning of the year.

Little Deng Fan, renamed Deng Ai.

Deng Zhi is also a member of the Deng clan, but in the early years, he moved from Deng Village and settled in Xinye.

This time he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and Deng Zhi, as a staff member in the general's mansion, naturally received a warm reception from the people of Deng Village. When chatting with the patriarch, he also happened to hear the request handed over by Xiao Deng Fan, and his heart couldn't help but move. Inquire about Xiao Deng Fan's age and some of Xiao Deng Fan's characteristics...... Especially when he learned that little Deng Fan had some stuttering habits, Deng Zhi immediately realized that this little Deng Fan was Deng Ai.

Sima Yi's position in the General's Mansion may not be high, and he worships the military master and sacrifices wine, and is under Xu Shu.

But Deng Zhi knew that as Liu Chuang's cousin, and an old man who followed Liu Chuang to Liaodong, Sima Yi's development potential was far higher than that of Xu Shu. Coupled with Sima Yi's talent, and at the same time with Sima Shi as the backing behind him, his development is unpredictable. I work in the General's Mansion by myself, how can I not have some backers?

Fa Zheng is in Nanyang, and he will not be able to help himself too much in the future.

Therefore, if you want to maintain a stable position in the General's Palace, you must gain the support of others......

So, Deng Zhi sent someone to Xu Du overnight to inform Sima Yi of Deng Ai's affairs. Sima Yi immediately sent people to Deng Village, Jianyang County, and after confirming Deng Ai's identity, he quickly reported it to Liu Chuang.

Jian'an has been ten years, and Deng Aishi is eight years old.

He was born in the second year of Jian'an, two years old, that is, ten years old.

The reason why Liu Chuang asked Sima Yi to find Deng Ai was also out of a personal hobby of cattle collection. Ten-year-old Deng Ai has just begun to read and write, and he does not have the demeanor of a famous general shown by later generations. And there was a little stuttering when he spoke, which made Liu Chuang feel a little disappointed. However, Deng Ai in history is also a late bloomer. Liu Chuang was not disappointed after seeing Deng Ai, but when many people expressed their confusion, he made the decision to accept Deng Ai as a student, which surprised countless people.

Deng Ai's father died early, and there was only one widow in the family.

When he learned that Liu Chuang was going to accept Deng Ai as a student, the entire Deng Village was a sensation...... I thought that the Deng clan had a Deng Zhi, and he was already a member of the Deng clan. I didn't expect that there was another Deng Ai now, and I don't know what luck I had, I was favored by the general and accepted as a protégé, which is really surprising.

However, Liu Chuang didn't have time to teach Deng Ai, so he let Deng Ai follow him, and read and write with Xun Yu Xunyou in his spare time, or learn martial arts from Zhao Yun. With such treatment, even Deng Zhi felt red! He could even predict that in the future court, Deng Ai would definitely be able to occupy a place, and it was by no means comparable to leisure.

After Yang Wei withdrew, Liu Chuang picked up a letter from the bookcase.

The letter was sent by Jia Xu, and after Liu Chuang read it, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and his face was gloomy......
