Chapter 518: Undercurrent

"Before dawn?" Zhang Shao was taken aback: "So urgent? ”

"Well, you're hesitant, but someone is waiting for me to reply." Guan Xing smiled proudly: "Don't blame the brothers for not reminding you, there are many people who want to support Ziyu." ”

"Who is so zealous?"

Guan Xing smiled: "The reason why you hesitate is because you are now holding the prime minister's thigh." But you have to be clear that there are many people who don't have the opportunity to hug the prime minister's thigh, so they have to hug Ziyu's thigh. ”

Zhang Shao changed color in shock: "Those people ......"

"What happened to those people?" Guan Xing glanced at Zhang Shao casually: "They are willing to pay money, can the prime minister stop them?" ”

Zhang Shao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of something: "Yes, the prime minister of Weishenme doesn't stop you?" Could this be a pitfall? ”

"Wuling was originally a pit, but obviously, Ziyu is very good at jumping into the pit." Guan Xing shook the wine glass in his hand: "At the beginning, Ziyu was alone and could jump out of the pit of Wuling, and now he has nearly 10,000 elites, what kind of pit can stop him?" Jixian, as a brother, I will remind you again, when Ziyu gains a firm foothold in Jingzhou and opens up the situation, you come together to help, he may not be able to take you seriously. When the time comes, it will not be a matter of one product or two products between you and me. If you want to compare yourself with me by relying on the identity of your relatives, I think you can think about the situation of the Wu family first. There are some things that you don't need to wait for in front of you to see clearly. You say, don't you? ”

……

In the Chen family's study, the door was closed, and Chen Yi sat behind the desk, stroking the short beard under his chin with one hand. One hand rested on the table, kept pinching and putting it, and the knuckles crackled, like firecrackers outside.

Chen Yi sat opposite him and looked at his brother with a smile.

"Gongwei, don't look at me like that." Chen Yi said a little angrily: "Have you stayed with those barbarians for too long, and you have forgotten the etiquette you should have?" ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Dare to ask my brother, where am I rude?" ”

Chen Yi was speechless for a while, and after a while, he shouted with some annoyance: "You talk to me like this." It's rudeness. ”

"Brother. It's not a gentleman's act to be angry with others. Chen Yi shook his head calmly: "Your square inch is messed up, and I probably can't make any haode decisions now, so I'll still go and drink with my cousins." We'll talk about it when you're calmer. ”

"Who said I was messed up?" Chen Yi said angrily: "You sit down." ”

Chen You's words were tough. But his tone was already soft. As Chen Yi said. He's a little messed up. When he asked Chen Yi to go to Wuling, he had almost no hope, so the first thing he said to take care of Chen Yi was. If the situation is not right, go back to Chengdu immediately. Unexpectedly, in just two or three months, Wei Ba actually won, forcing Wu Jun to sit down and negotiate and cede Wuling County, and Chen Yi also became Wei Ba's cronies.

Chen Yi overfulfilled the task, Chen Yi should be happy, but he couldn't be happy. Because there may be no place for him around Wei Ba. Li Wei, who was similar to him in every way, had already entered the Wei family manor before him, and was reused by Wei Ba. When Chen Yi came back this time, he had the task of bringing Li Yi to Wuling.

This is a chess game, forcing hands and feet. The first is a treasure, and the second is grass, how can the arrogant Chen Yi be willing to succumb to Li Yi, and he is still under his younger brother Chen Yi.

"Don't be too happy, Wei Ba was able to defeat the Wu army because Sun Quan made a stupid move, and the army went deep into the mountains, which was the opportunity seized by Wei Ba. Those are nothing, and the real test begins. The prime minister wants to go on the Northern Expedition, all the wealth, food, and ordnance will be allocated to Guanzhong, and a grain of grain or a catty of floc will not be transported to Wuling. Lack of food and clothing, those barbarians are willing to suffer with him? At that time, as long as Sun Quan is willing to give some blood, he, a god, will immediately show his original form, and it is uncertain how he will die. ”

"Of course, my brother's worries can't be said to be unreasonable, but Wei Ba also has Wei Ba's countermeasures."

"What's he going to do?"

"I can't guess what he's going to do." Chen Yi smiled: "If I had the ability like him, I wouldn't have to listen to him." ”

"And!" Chen Yi snorted disdainfully, turned his head, and deliberately didn't look at Chen Yi. Chen Yi lowered his head and smiled secretly, he knew his brother's temper best. He thought for a while: "Brother, Prime Minister of the Northern Expedition, why didn't you follow the army?" Supposedly, he attaches great importance to ordnance modification, and you should be of great use. ”

"How do I know?" Chen Yi sighed helplessly: "Probably because he himself is highly accomplished in this area, he doesn't need a person like me." ”

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows: "The prime minister has every opportunity, will he still be responsible for these details?" ”

"You don't know." Chen Yi pursed his lips and did not say any more. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to show Zhuge Liang his ability, but he never thought that Zhuge Liang had no chance at all, and he didn't even let him enter the ordnance manufacturing workshop. This made Chen Yi very stimulated, and he couldn't see where his future was.

"Brother, come with me to Wuling, with your ability, Wei Shizhong will definitely reuse you."

"Wei Ba? Ha, forget it, his mechanical skills are unique in the world, how can I get into his eyes with that little doorway. ”

Chen Yi shook his head: "Brother, you are wrong. Wei Shizhong's mechanical skills are indeed unique in the world, but he will not bow down to everything like the prime minister, and he does not agree with the prime minister's approach. ”

"Really?" Chen Yi hesitated for a moment: "But ......"

"But he already has someone like Li Wei by his side, right?"

Chen You's eyes glared: "Just you're smart." ”

"Our brothers, what do you want, I still don't know?" Chen Yi smiled gently: "If you are really worried about this, then I can advise you to rest assured." Wei Shizhong said that there will never be too many talents like Li Wei and his brother, but only too little. Of course, if you're just interested in that official position, there may be a conflict, but ......"

"Wait." Chen Yi interrupted Chen Yi: "In addition to the official position, what else is the conflict?" Prime Minister Weishenme suppressed the non-Jingxiang lineage. Isn't it because of the limited official position that the Jingxiang people should be given priority? ”

Chen Yi was silent for a moment, looking at Chen Yi quietly, Chen Yi was uncomfortable by him, and wanted to avoid his eyes, but he refused to show weakness, so he had to hold on.

"Brother, when Wei Shizhong was in Xiangyang, he used a modified warship to beat Zhu Ran and several other heavy generals of the Wu army in a daze."

Chen You thought for a long time, and then asked puzzledly, "Is this ...... What does it have to do with what we just said? ”

"It's simple. The size of the official position. Actually, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether Jishu is advanced or not. Chen Yi said slowly: "In front of a sharp repeater, even if there are twenty or thirty generals, they will shoot like hedgehogs. ”

Chen Yi was a little confused. I don't quite understand what Chen Yi meant. Chen Yi didn't explain either. got up and saluted: "If the elder brother is for an official position." Then don't go to Wuling. If nothing else, Wei Shizhong himself is just a Wuling Taishou, and at most he will add a miscellaneous general. He can't give you any prestigious position. If my brother wants to make a name for himself with his superb jishu, I suggest that my brother can consider it. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, Chen Yi didn't leave him, tasting Chen Yi's words, as if he had figured out something, but he couldn't grasp the point. Not fighting for official positions? So what's the point of fighting? The eldest husband worked hard for a lifetime, didn't he just want to be the minister, the marquis and the land, the glory of the ancestors, and the grace of the descendants? Without an official position, what's the point?

"This erector deceives people a lot, and he speaks of God and God." Chen Yi snorted angrily.

The next morning, Chen Yi waited for Chen Yi to come over to pay New Year's greetings, but he didn't wait, and when he asked, he found out that Chen Yi went out to pay New Year's greetings. He was very unhappy and asked people to look for it, and after a while, his family reported that Chen Yi went to Laimin's house.

"Laimin?" Chen You's brows furrowed, and he was silent for a long time.

……

Lai Min looked at Chen Yi, his gray eyebrows trembled, and he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. He felt that Chen Yi was crazy. Chen Yi brought a message from Wei Ba, who was going to run a school in Wuling and wanted to invite Lai Min to be a professor.

Wei Ba is crazy, most of Wuling is mountainous, almost all the people Wei Ba can control are barbarians, he has a problem eating, where does he get the financial resources to build a school, even if he builds a school, where are the students? Shall I teach those barbarians to read?

"Come to the duke, Wei Shizhong said that the saint has no class, and Wuxi Man is also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and Miao, not a blood-drinking generation. It is precisely because of their ignorance that they need to be educated by a well-educated Confucian like Lai Gong. Jingzhou is a place of cultural prosperity, but Jiangnan has not been stained with morale, if the Duke is willing to deign to go to Wuling, the merit is no less than that of Wen Weng in Bashu, and in the future in the Pantheon, there will be a place for the Prince. ”

Laimin's heart moved, stroking the tip of his beard, a little hesitant. Reading the book of the sage, the most hopeful thing is nothing more than virtue and meritorious service, he was born with a bad temper, getting older and older, but the official is getting younger and smaller, and meritorious service basically has nothing to do with him. If you can be educated like Wen Weng and be commemorated by future generations, it can be regarded as virtue. Unlike Zhuge Liang, who was born in a family, Wei Ba's father and son were born in martial arts, so they must have more respect for him, a learned Confucian fellow, and will not treat him purely as an ornament like Zhuge Liang.

It's just that...... If you get close to Wei Ba, will it arouse Zhuge Liang's suspicion? The current life is sad enough, is it appropriate to offend Zhuge Liang again? Zhuge Liang asked Wei Ba to go to Wuling, but he didn't have any good intentions.

Lai Min thinks left and right, and it is difficult to decide. At this time, someone outside came to report that Wei Yanlai, the general of Zhenbei, had come to pay New Year's greetings to the public.

When Lai Min heard this, his face suddenly flushed. Wei Yan came to greet me for the New Year? My God, is the sun coming out of the west today? Lai Min didn't dare to put on a show, Wei Yan's stinky temper is famous, it's a good thing that he is willing to come, if he neglects him and provokes him to be angry, it will be a disaster. Lai Min didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out to greet him.

As soon as Wei Yan saw Lai Min, he immediately grabbed a few steps, bowed with a smile on his face, and saluted: "Come to Gong, happy New Year?" I wish you good health, edification, morality, and eternity. ”

As soon as Lai Min heard it, he understood: "Wen Chang, are you here to be a lobbyist for your son?" ”

Wei Yan haha smiled: "The dog is stubborn, and he urgently needs such a great Confucian teaching." haha...... Wei Yan had no choice but to come and invite the duke. Come to the public, I have already asked the prime minister for instructions, and the prime minister also said that those who can be in this big position must come to the public. Come to work, don't shirk. (To be continued......)

PS: There are still three days left, and the monthly ticket list has begun to undercurrent, and in less than two days, Lao Zhuang has seen countless single chapters, and even limericks have come out, which is really ...... High.

Lao Zhuang is the same, asking for tickets, asking for monthly tickets, everyone, don't you shirk, do you want the general of Zhenbei to bring a knife to the door to ask for tickets?
