Chapter 847: It's at your fingertips
Some things, no matter how important they are, as long as no one mentions them, or no one dares to mention them, then the incident can be treated as if it never happened. For example, the Battle of Luoyang has been over for more than half a year, and everyone knows that according to convention, Zhuge Liang should give a clear explanation, whether it is meritorious or excessive, who should be rewarded and who should be punished, and there should have been a conclusion a long time ago.
However, this matter has been delayed until now and there is no conclusion, and there is a great possibility that it will continue to drag on.
The rules are dead, people are alive, and the so-called royal law is only the law formulated by the king, and it has always been aimed at those ordinary people, not those who hold authority. The Son of Heaven didn't want to mention it, Zhuge Liang didn't want to mention it, and Li Yan didn't want to mention it, so no one dared to mention it. Besides, they didn't need to mention it. This is obviously a battle between several powerful ministers, who will take the initiative to jump out and steal the show if there is only audience qualification?
A lot of things are so big and small.
However, Wei Ba obviously didn't intend to let this matter pass like this, he wanted to use this incident as a breakthrough to challenge the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This layer of window paper was pierced, and Zhuge Liang could no longer refrain from expressing his position, otherwise, he would fall into passivity. Unless he can pay the debt of more than 40,000 gold himself. Even so, Wei Ba probably won't give up, he will definitely chase and fight hard and entangle to the end. There is no turning back when he opens the bow, Wei Ba is not the kind of person who gives up halfway.
The officialdom is most afraid of encountering this kind of stunned youth, and Zhuge Liang is no exception.
However, he was prepared.
"Wei Gong, how do you think you should deal with it?"
"Prime Minister......
"Don't hesitate, it's going to come sooner or later." Zhuge Liang smiled weakly and calmly: "Instead of being blamed." It's better to blame yourself. Only I can afford this responsibility. He took out a note from under his pillow, "Help me forward it to Bixia." ”
Yang Yi glanced down, a little dazed, he didn't know what Zhuge Liang said in this recital, this was obviously a preparation for haode, Zhuge Liang had already written it, just waiting for an opportunity.
"Wei Gong, I will ask Bixia for my guilt and take the main responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang. This prime minister's position probably can't be kept. But. The Prime Minister's Mansion will still exist, and maybe Liao Gongyuan will be the Prime Minister. I think about it, you are the only enemy of him. Wei Gong, thank you for your hard work. ”
A hint of anger flashed in Yang Yi's eyes. Zhuge Liang in order to keep Jiang Wei. Rather self-deprecating. He's no longer a prime minister. If you want to give up the position of prime minister to Liao Li, what is the significance of this prime minister's long history? What he wants is not the long history of the prime minister, but the position of the prime minister. Only Zhuge Liang continued to be the prime minister. Continue to hold the power and defeat Li Yan and Wei Ba, so that he can take over as prime minister, otherwise this prime minister has no value in his long history. Zhuge Liang asked him to replace Jiang Wan as the prime minister, not because of his weight, but because he was a substitute for the dead ghost and against Liao Li.
He had a feeling of being deceived by Zhuge Liang.
……
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang wrote to the Son of Heaven, took the initiative to assume the main responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang, asked to resign as prime minister, and recommended Liao Li to take over as prime minister.
The news spread throughout Chengdu in just half a day.
Many people were very surprised that Weishenme Zhuge Liang suddenly asked for self-exemption at this time. It has been a long time since this incident, and the general Li Yan did not mention it, Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu and has been living in the palace, with Tianxian in his mouth, and the emperor is just his puppet. In this case, if he doesn't mention it himself, no one dares to take the initiative to mention it, and he wants to take the initiative to give up the position of prime minister? And it is really surprising to recommend Liao Li, who was at odds with him, to take over as prime minister.
This is such a high wind and bright festival, a real prime minister's mind. Except for Zhuge Liang, no one can do this, and probably only Qi Huangyang, who does not avoid relatives and hatred in history, can be compared with him.
Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven, was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to deal with this matter. In the past, Zhuge Liang made the decision for him, and now the person who has to deal with it is Zhuge Liang, so what should I do? Do you listen to Zhuge Liang's request and remove him from the position of prime minister, or do you comfort him and let him stay in office?
Liu Chan was helpless and asked to see Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang asked for official business, and spoke highly of Liao Li's political achievements, thinking that although Liao Li's personality was a bit extreme, his talent was well deserved, enough to take on the heavy responsibility of prime minister.
Liu Chan didn't dare to take it seriously, so he had to push this problem to the general Li Yan again.
After receiving Zhuge Liang's request for self-depreciation, Li Yan wanted to cry without tears. He looked forward to snatching the power from Zhuge Liang every day, but when Zhuge Liang took the initiative to give up the right, he didn't feel a little happy, but had a sense of being in the middle of it.
Let Liao Li take over as prime minister? Are you kidding. He did not object to Liao Li staying in Chengdu as an official, but he couldn't let Liao Li be the prime minister, especially at this time. Now that Liao Li has taken over as prime minister, he will only be grateful to Wei Ba, it was Wei Ba who single-handedly put him in the phase, and he will get closer to Wei Ba in the future. Defeating Zhuge Liang, but cheapening Wei Ba, is not what Li Yan wants to see.
Liao Li can be the prime minister, but he must be pushed up by him Li Yan, otherwise he can't be allowed to do it.
But he couldn't refuse.
Zhuge Liang took the initiative to take responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang, took the blame and resigned, and recommended Liao Li, a former enemy, to take over as prime minister, whether it is true or not, this kind of bearing is not something that ordinary people can do. Nowadays, which official in Chengdu does not admire the prime minister's mind, and why does he not admire the prime minister's knowledge and good use of people? If he opposes Liao Li, he will not only offend Wei Ba, Liao Li and others, but also go against the entire public opinion. Compared with Prime Minister, he is simply a natural negative image.
Li Yan was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it for three days, he wrote to the Son of Heaven and asked to reject Zhuge Liang's request for self-exemption. He said that although Zhuge Liang had the Battle of Luoyang, it could not be said that he had no success, after all, the army had surrounded Luoyang, which gave Cao Wei a lot of shock and promoted the national prestige. As far as the current actual situation is concerned, Huo Yi is stationed in Xin'an, controlling the entire Hangu and most of Hedong in his hands, and the battle of Luoyang still has results. Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang wants to take responsibility, there is no need to remove him from his post, temporarily remove him from the post of prime minister, slightly demote his official, and still act as prime minister.
At the same time, Wu Yi, the former chariot general, was promoted to hussar general for his merits.
As for Liao Li, he is indeed a talent, and he should be ranked in Jiuqing as a reward. In the future, it will be not too late to make meritorious deeds and be promoted to the third public again.
As soon as Li Yan played the sparse, he immediately won the unanimous consent of the ministers. Liu Chan also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately issued an edict to implement it according to Li Yan's suggestion. After the court discussion, Zhuge Liang was demoted to the general of the left chariot cavalry, the former chariot cavalry general Wu Yi was promoted to the hussar general because of his merits, Wei Yan, the general of Zhenxi, was promoted to the general of the right chariot cavalry because of his merits, and Jiang Wei was promoted to the general of Zhenbei and the governor of the Guan.
The unresolved battle of Luoyang was finally settled, Zhuge Liang was safe and sound, still holding the Prime Minister's Mansion firmly in his hands, and gaining incomparable prestige, but Li Yan broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, beating his chest in anger and gritting his teeth.
……
The news reached Wei Ba's hands as quickly as possible. Wei Ba sighed with emotion.
"The prime minister's methods are still sharp, this advance and retreat, Li Yan is completely confused, and all the preparations for a long time are in vain, and it is estimated that he will cry when he wakes up in the middle of the night."
Fa Miao couldn't help laughing: "If you count it, you still miss it, and the prime minister will be exempt." He calculated that Li Yan would not be willing to let the general dominate, so he took a risk. This is also called surprising, Li Yan is not prepared at all, of course he will be in chaos. ”
"Well, this time the prime minister is indeed clever, although there is nothing new in the tactics, but it poked Li Yan's weakness, so it worked wonders. However, I'm a little strange, why is he so good to Jiang Wei? Wei Ba tilted his head, looking puzzled: "Of course, in order to protect himself, he almost killed Ma Yan, but today in order to protect Jiang Wei, he would rather avoid himself, this gap is too big, right?" ”
"One time, another time." Fa Miao didn't have an opinion at all: "Probably because he knows that he doesn't have much time, so he would rather leave the opportunity to Jiang Wei." Fa Miao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid, his intentions are not Li Yan yet, and they still fall on the general." ”
Wei Ba nodded helplessly. Fa Miao is reasonable, Zhuge Liang took advantage of Li Yan's weakness and played a trick to retreat as advance, not only solved the aftermath of the Battle of Luoyang, but also took a lot of advantages, Wu Yi was promoted to hussar general, Jiang Wei was promoted to Zhenbei general, and officially took over Guanzhong, the most important thing is that he and his father Wei Yan are listed as car generals, and his father Wei Yan is listed as a chariot general, and his father doesn't know how happy he is, he must introduce the prime minister as a confidant, and then he doesn't know what means to prepare to deal with himself.
It is not so much that Zhuge Liang is dealing with Li Yan, it is better to say that he is dealing with himself, everything is in his jihua, and Li Yan is just following his baton.
If you make a bad move, don't do it, it should be Li Yan's situation. Compared with ordinary people, his level is not bad, but when it comes to competing with Zhuge Liang, he is a little powerless. Of course, Li Yan is not only facing Zhuge Liang, he also has to guard himself, the three-way scuffle, the situation is indeed too complicated, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained, after all, not everyone can be as decisive as Zhuge Liang.
"Public holiday, you Zhuge clan are so many officials in various countries, if you want to be smart, you have to count the prime minister as the first."
Zhuge Dan laughed: "How can you be smart." ”
"Oh, do you think you can beat him?"
"I can't beat him." Zhuge Dan shook his head, looked at the rolling eastward river, and stood with his hands in his hands: "If you talk about a person's ability, looking at the world, there are indeed few people who are his opponents. But he can't defeat himself, he himself is the biggest enemy, he doesn't need others to do it at all, he will destroy himself. ”
"What you say is a bit mysterious." Wei Ba smiled: "What annoys me the most about you celebrities is that you talk about some inconsistencies at every turn, and it is really hard to listen to it." ”
Zhuge Dan glanced at Wei Ba meaningfully, a little helpless.
With the corners of his mouth, Fa Miao smiled silently...... (To be continued......)
