Chapter 244: Fueling the Flames

It's too busy, and once again the wrong chapter is transmitted, Lao Zhuang is guilty!

————————

After listening to Xiang Lang's analysis, Wei Ba gained a lot and learned more about the political factions within Shu Han. Most of his previous knowledge came from sporadic memories of his previous life, and he knew the result, but he didn't necessarily know the reason. Later, looking through the official documents, Peng Xiaoyu was a staff officer and learned some inside stories of political struggles. But those are not as systematic and thorough as Xiang Lang's.

For example, he only knew that Zhuge Liang was wary of Li Yan before, because in history, Li Yan was later overturned by Zhuge Liang. Now after listening to Xiang Lang's analysis, I know that Li Yan's identity is very complicated. He is not only a Jingxiang person, but also one of the representatives of the Dongzhou system within Shu Han, Meng Da's return, let the Dongzhou system revivenation, if Zhuge Liang does not rush back to preside over the war on the Eastern Front, it will give Li Yan the opportunity to obtain greater power. At present, it is Chen Zhi who guards Yong'an, Chen Zhi is not from the Jingxiang department, but from the Yuancong department, but he is close to the Jingxiang family, and he was originally arranged to go to Yong'an, just to contain Li Yan, but he himself is also not a liliang that Zhuge Liang can't rest assured.

The Shu Han regime is like a sparrow, small in size, but the various internal relationships are just as complicated. As an outsider, Zhuge Liang wanted to make a career and sit firmly in the high position of prime minister, so he had to rely on the Jingxiang faction tightly and suppress the other interest factions to the death, otherwise, just internal strife would exhaust all the vitality of the Shu Han regime.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang intended to use Cao Wei's liliang to weaken the strength of the Wei family, also out of helplessness. If Wei Yan himself was a person who could understand the general situation, how could Zhuge Liang be in such a hurry. It's too late for him to reuse it.

Wei Ba didn't fully believe Xiang Lang's words, but he also knew that Wei Yan's fate was largely due to his character. At least in history, when Zhuge Liang was alive, Wei Yan's Meridian Valley Jihua did not have a chance to implement it. But he is still reused by Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang has always been very tolerant of his stinky temper.

"Listen to the public. It's better than reading a book for ten years. Wei Ba sincerely thanked: "It was indeed my father and son who misunderstood the monarchs before. ”

Xiang Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you are willing to help me now?" ”

"The righteousness of fellow villagers is a matter of course." Wei Ba nodded again and again, but then he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "According to Xiang Gong, Ma Jian is not guilty of death. The reason why the prime minister wanted to execute him was to silence everyone? ”

Xiang Lang nodded and let out a long sigh.

"That's not right." Wei Ba continued: "What an assertive person the prime minister is. How could he cut off his siblings for the sake of some rotten criticism? Xiang Gong, do you think he will be acting like this? ”

Xiang Lang sank his face, he had already said so much to Wei Ba, if Wei Ba still shirked it, then he would be a little ignorant. Whether you can save it or not is a matter of ability. Whether you want to save it or not is a matter of attitude. I tried my best, and Zuihou hasn't been saved yet, so I don't blame you, but if you're still here to perfunctory me. That's not interesting.

"What does Ziyu mean?"

Wei Ba pretended not to hear the impatience in Xiang Lang's tone, and said seriously: "If my guess is right, then the criticism of the prime minister's unknown employment must be mainly from Laimin, and the people from Yizhou are helping from the side?" ”

Xiang Lang nodded.

"Just one Laimin can force the prime minister to bow his head, and he can make the people of our Jingxiang family die, so where is the face of our Jingxiang family?"

Xiang Lang raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully. He groaned for a long time. "What do you mean......"

"Xiang Gong, we should let them see the Liliang of the Jingxiang Department." Wei Ba immediately picked up Xiang Lang's words and whispered: "The prime minister is under pressure and can't talk to himself, we can say it." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, most of them are Jingxiang people, can't they suppress the nonsense of a few scholars? When they were refuted and speechless, and saw the unity of the Jingxiang people, who else dared to ask for Ma Youchang's life? At that time, the prime minister naturally pushed the boat down the river, punished him slightly, and let it go gently. ”

Xiang Lang swept his eyes, "What if it still doesn't work?" ”

"If it still doesn't work, I will naturally only look to the stallion, listen to everything, follow all plans, and do my best to rescue the horse Youchang."

"A word?"

"It's a deal."

Xiang Langruo looked at Wei Ba meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth provoked a meaningful smile: "Good boy, he has a city government than your father." Okay, I'll listen to you, as long as I can save Ma Yan, I'll show this old face and fight with those people. ”

"If you go out to the public, you will naturally succeed." Wei Ba smiled politely.

Xiang Lang smiled and got up to leave. He walked to the door, stopped again, turned sideways, looked at Wei Ba, and suddenly said, "Ziyu, do you know who the prime minister respects the most?" ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Guan Zhong, Le Yi." ”

Xiang Lang smiled weirdly: "What else?" ”

Wei Ba was really at a loss, he really didn't know this question.

"Ziyu, if you have time to read some poems, such as the Prime Minister's Liang Fuyin, it's very good." After Xiang Lang finished speaking, he raised his hand to block Wei Ba: "Okay, don't send it, just stay." ”

Wei Ba insisted on sending Xiang Lang to the gate of the camp and said goodbye. When Xiang Lang walked away, he stood at the gate of the camp and did not move for a long time. As a fan of Zhuge Liang, of course he knows "Liang Fuyin", and "Liang Fuyin" mentions another virtuous minister besides Guan Zhong and Le Yi: Yan Zi. There is also a famous allusion in this poem: two peaches kill three soldiers. This is a famous allusion to the victory of wisdom over bravery, but what Xiang Lang said is obviously not this, because when it comes to this kind of conspiracy, he has already shown it deep enough just now.

He just suggested that Xiang Lang launch Liliang and Lai Min of the Jingxiang system to fight in the ring, and asked Zhuge Liang to take the horse lightly, which was a ploy to eliminate and fight. Xiang Lang wanted him to beg Zhuge Liang, but he turned around and asked Xiang Lang to launch the Jingxiang system first to show his attitude, forcing the Jingxiang department to hug Ma Jian and put pressure on Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang agrees, of course he has the merit of suggestion, if Zhuge Liang insists on his own opinion and does not accept the collective petition of the Jing Xiang family, then the Jing Xiang department will naturally have reservations about Zhuge Liang, and when he comes forward again and wins, he will naturally have merit, and the Jing Xiang department will see his means and abilities, and if he fails, no one will say that he does not try his best, and will only alienate Zhuge Liang even more.

For Zhuge Liang, if he doesn't let Ma Jian go, it is not a matter of not giving Wei Ba a face, but facing the entire Jingxiang system. The pressure on him will increase dramatically. He could lose the favor of one or two Jingxiang people, but he couldn't risk offending the entire Jingxiang family.

Wei Ba is expanding the situation, not only integrating himself into the camp of the Jingxiang family, but also forcing Zhuge Liang to choose between the Jingxiang system and the non-Jingxiang family. Either way, he can take advantage.

Didn't you say that the reason why you didn't support the Wei family before was because my father was a lone wolf and didn't know how to unite? Well, now I'm going to ask to be with you. Aren't you trying to save Ma Yan? Then save together, you can't let me rush to the front alone, you hide next to watch the play. If you want to go together, this is called unity.

Xiang Lang has lived for more than 60 years, and he is a well-known and capable official, so of course he will not understand the tricks here. So he bit Wei Ba, if he didn't succeed, Wei Ba must go all out and can't stand idly by.

Wei Ba gave him a problem, and he changed hands and gave Wei Ba another exam question.

That's right, this is an exam question, and the test is whether Wei Ba has the sensitivity to know the elegance of listening to string songs. If you want to compete for power and profit in the officialdom, you must have such skills, no one will say it so obviously, and nothing will be so straightforward. If he can't see the subtleties and draw inferences, then he is not worthy of mixing in the officialdom, let alone fighting with talents like Zhuge Liang.

If Wei Ba can solve this problem, then this is a point from Xiang Lang to him, and he will benefit from it and be qualified to become a member of the Jingxiang family and participate in this game of thrones. If Wei Ba can't solve this problem, then he can't blame people, he can only say that you are not born with this kind of qualification, so you should be an honest thug.

Fighters, it's Tian Kaiyi, a martial artist like Gu Zhizi, who can only be played by others, and cannot participate in playing people.

This is a game of minds, and force alone is not enough to qualify. Lu Bu and Guan Yu are both peerless generals, but they are all defeated in such a game, and they lose completely.

Wei Ba recited "Liang Fu Yin" repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out what Yan Zi could do to emulate him. His understanding of Yan Zi is limited to giving birth to Huainan as an orange, giving birth to Huaibei as an orange, as well as sending people to the city gate and sending a dog country to climb the dog cave, and the other is this two peach killing three soldiers, but these three deeds don't seem to find too much subtle meaning.

Xiang Lang is really old and spicy, he usually looks silent, and he has a lot of meaning when he makes a move.

Xiang Lang is indeed very meaningful as soon as he makes a move. After getting Wei Ba's promise, Xiang Lang immediately summoned Hu Ji, Liao Hua and other Jingxiang talents, and bluntly stated that he wanted to save Ma Jian and could not let Ma Jian die because of the political struggle.

Xiang Lang's seniority and identity were there, and none of the Jingxiang people present dared to compete with him, let alone refuse to sign at the risk of being despised by the villagers, not to mention that they also knew that Ma Yan's crime would not lead to death, and if he died like this, it would definitely be a big loss for the Jingxiang family. Zhuge Liang ruled the country by law, but the law does not blame the public, since Xiang Lang took the lead, of course they will not back down for their own interests.

So, a petition was completed, and after Wei Ba read it, he also signed it. He is the youngest, and his status is not high enough, so he can only accompany the last position. Still, being able to put your name on the petition is a victory.

No matter how much water there is, he is now also a member of the Jingxiang family.

This is a good start.

It is not enough to have a beginning, it is not enough to be just one of them, Wei Ba is like a lurking tiger, waiting for more opportunities to fight for a more advantageous position in the Jingxiang lineage.
