Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment: "Three generations are kings with different rites, and five uncles are different from the law, how can it be generalized." At the beginning, the prime minister was dismissed, and then the prime minister was reinstated, all because of the times. Cao Cao's use of the prime minister to gain power does not mean that the prime minister's mansion is illegal. Ziyu doesn't think that I, like Cao Cao, have the heart to usurp? ”

He smiled faintly: "Then you can rest assured, I am dying, but my son is still young, no matter in any aspect, he is not your opponent Wei Ziyu, not to mention that there is a loyal old minister like Zhengfang to assist Bixia, no one's ambition can be hidden from his eyes, and he wants to usurp power with the prime minister, I am afraid that he will be powerless, so for now, there is no danger in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ziyu does not have to worry." ”

Wei Ba secretly admired that Zhuge Liang was so sick and still had a sharp mind, this move was really beautiful. not only showed his loyalty, but also pulled Li Yan into the water. In front of the Son of Heaven, he did not call each person's official position, but called the character, revealing such a closeness and easy-going, and at the same time, avoiding the embarrassment of his official position.

In this case, if you blindly mess around, you may not fall behind.

Wei Ba rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The general is high-spirited, the world knows, how dare the kid doubt the general." However, the Prime Minister's Mansion is in charge of the army, and the functions and powers of the General's Mansion overlap, and there is a feeling of stacking beds and frames, if it is not resolved, it will be inappropriate after all. In the general's opinion, how to solve the problem? Is it better for the Prime Minister's Mansion to share military power with the general, or is it better to simply withdraw the General's Mansion? ”

Before Zhuge Liang could speak, Li Yan was startled. Withdraw and merge the General's Palace? Isn't that killing me? Wei Ba what's wrong with today, how did he target me every word. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Ziyu." Don't embarrass Kong Ming, you see that his body is sick like this, can't you let him rest and rest? ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "The general's health is good, and he has the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it should be very easy for you." Anyway, General Zhuge is in poor health, and he probably won't be able to assume the power of the prime minister for a while. ”

Li Yan closed his mouth. Wei Ba pushed him to the front and roasted him on the fire. However, if possible, he has no objection to taking over the rights of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, this is not possible.

watched Wei Ba and Li Yan sing and harmonize. Zhuge Liang secretly smiled bitterly. He was a little sad. Because he found that it was not as easy as he thought to bind Wei Ba in a dignified manner. Wei Ba was not only cunning and changeable on the battlefield, but also resourceful in the court. He replaced defense with offense, and firmly grasped the loopholes in the power of the Prime Minister's Office. Persistently attacked. Don't give him a chance to fight back at all.

He wanted to use righteousness to trap Wei Ba. Wei Ba first accused him with righteousness. If you don't hold yourself right, what right do you have to blame others? In the past, he had a monopoly on power, and no one dared to point it out. Challenging his authority, for a long time, he has the illusion that he feels invulnerable. Now that Wei Ba has torn off that layer of disguise, he realized that he was so weak and powerless.

Just as the rouge on his face can't hide his exhaustion.

He knew what he was wrong with, but he couldn't do anything back. A sadness welled up in his heart. He is old, whether he admits it or not, whether he wants to or not, he is old, and in the face of an aggressive young junior like Wei Ba, he has no chance of winning. Neither physically nor intellectually, he had no advantage.

So far, Wei Ba has not used all his strength, and he is exhausted.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was pale and his breath was short, Liu Chan sighed: "The abolition of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very important and cannot be ignored. The father's health is not good, so let's keep the status quo for the time being, and it's not too late to discuss it when the father recovers. Come and send my father back to his house to rest. ”

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes tiredly: "Thank you Bixia for taking pity on the old minister." ”

Liu Chan waved his hand, Dong Yun rushed up to the hall with people, lifted Zhuge Liang and left, and did not forget to stare at Wei Ba fiercely before leaving. Wei Ba picked the corners of his mouth and disdained it. He didn't care about Dong Yunzhi and his ilk at all, but he didn't dare to take lightly the decisiveness that Liu Chan showed just now. He accused Zhuge Liang of not being the prime minister, but he regarded himself as the prime minister, forcing Dong Yun to change his words, but Liu Chan still called Zhuge Liang his father and was respectful, which was enough to show his support for Zhuge Liang. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was at a disadvantage, he forcibly interrupted the discussion again, and inadvertently made a decision to maintain the status quo and not discuss the issue of the Prime Minister's Mansion until Zhuge Liang recovered, fully demonstrating the determination and domineering of an emperor.

This ...... Is it true that morality, intellect and physique have developed in an all-round way?

Wei Ba is very aware of the characteristics of Chinese politics, it has never been the rule of law, the so-called royal law, that is, the king's law, is the king's law that binds ordinary people, but it will not target the king. Wang Fa is a sharp weapon, with almost unlimited lethality, even if it is a mediocre talent, after mastering this sharp weapon, his combat power will skyrocket.

The most obvious example is that "the prince breaks the law and sins the same crime as the common people", and whether this can really be realized or not, the true nature of the royal law can be seen from this sentence, and the royal law can only control the prince at best, but not the king himself. Did the emperor pay for his life when he killed the wrong person? can rehabilitate you and admit that you killed wrongly, it is already a great grace of the emperor.

Can you take such an opponent lightly? In other words, if Liu Chan gives an order now, push him out and behead him, in addition to fighting up and killing him out of the palace, he will probably die in vain, and when the big deal is that Liu Chan said that he was confused for a while, listened to slander, killed the wrong person, rewarded you with a sum of money from the Wei family, and rewarded you with a good coffin.

Daddy protects the calf again, does he dare to ask Liu Chan to pay for his life?

You can reason with Zhuge Liang, because no matter how awesome he is, he is also the prime minister. But there is no reason to talk about Liu Chan, because he is the emperor. The emperor never reasoned with people, because he had a natural right to be unreasonable.

Wei Ba instinctively put away his edge, so he wouldn't compete with Liu Chan at this time. The palace is Liu Chan's home field, and he can't take any advantage.

Li Yan was an old fox, and he also realized this, and cautiously put away his minions.

Liu Chan looked dazed and naturally cute. He didn't know that he had leaked domineering just now, and seeing that Wei Ba and Li Yan were no longer talking, he was a little lost: "You guys...... Don't talk about it? ”

Wei Ba glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan thought about it, kowtowed, and said, "Bixia, this matter is the fault of the minister." The minister is willing to be punished. The battle of Bingzhou involved a lot of people, Rong Chen went back to re-investigate, and with the results, he reported to Bixia. ”

Liu Chan nodded: "It's okay, then you can go and get busy." Wei Ba, you stay, I still have something to say to you. ”

"Yui." Wei Ba and Li Yan agreed at the same time. Li Yan bowed, got up and retreated.

Out of the palace, Li Yan let out a long breath. Although he had not been in the palace for a long time, at best he could not have done a cup of tea, but his vest was a little sweaty. He got into the carriage and rushed back to the General's Mansion, and when he passed by the Dasi Nongguan's house, he asked people to go to Ma Yan.

Ma Jian came quickly, and as soon as Li Yan stopped in front of the General's Mansion, Ma Jian arrived. He looked at Li Yan's face, didn't say anything, followed Li Yan into the mansion, and went straight to the hall.

Li Yan briefly explained what had happened, and asked solemnly: "Youchang, in your opinion, what does bixia mean?" ”

Ma Tan laughed silently: "General, you are too nervous. ”

"Oh?"

"Yes, I admit that Bixia is not a gifted and intelligent, but she is not stupid either. He was not born in the deep palace, he followed the first emperor since he was a child, and then he was taught by the prime minister, even if it is a stubborn stone, it is also an unusual stubborn stone, how can he not know anything about the affairs of the court? In the past, he was estranged from the prime minister because the prime minister was too strong, but now the prime minister is weak, and the general has sprung up. ”

Li Yan exhaled slowly. Ma Yan's words spoke to his heart. In the past, he didn't care much about Liu Chan, the son of heaven, because Liu Chan has always been very obedient, and he listens to everyone's words, but he doesn't have his own ideas. But Liu Chan's performance in the recent period made him a little strange, let Zhuge Liang live in the palace, when Zhuge Liang fainted, he ran with Zhuge Liang on his back, and just now took the initiative to relieve Zhuge Liang.

This deliberateness, of course, is the meaning of the Son of Heaven to support the Prime Minister's Mansion, and to support the Prime Minister's Mansion, of course, is to suppress the General's Mansion. It can even be said that if the Son of Heaven left Wei Ba behind, it was possible to pull Wei Ba out of his Great General's Mansion.

"But the general doesn't need to worry too much." Seeing that Li Yan's face changed, Ma Yan looked very relaxed. "The Son of Heaven wants to support the Prime Minister's Mansion, which shows that the Prime Minister's Mansion is too weak now, and the Son of Heaven does not want the Prime Minister's Mansion to be defeated. But the prime minister is terminally ill, even with the support of Bixia, how long can he hold on, why should the general be nervous? ”

"What about Wei Ba?" Li Yan asked rhetorically: "Will Bixia support Wei Ba to take over the position of prime minister?" ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "I don't think it's very likely. ”

"Why?"

"Bixia is willing, and Wei Ba won't be willing. Will he give up the interests of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou and return to Chengdu? After leaving Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, he became a rootless tree and no longer had the ability to confront the general. It's like the prime minister left Guanzhong, and his strength was greatly reduced. If Bixia really wanted to rely on him to balance the general, he would definitely not let him return to Chengdu. ”

Li Yan thought for a moment and nodded approvingly.

"General, maybe Wei Ba will part ways with the general in the future, but he doesn't have the strength yet. Before the Prime Minister died, you were allies. Wei Ba proposed to reconsider and merge with the state of war merits, general, this is a good opportunity. How to take this opportunity to attack the Shili of the Prime Minister's Mansion, maintain the cleverness with Wei Ba, and put Guanzhong in the hands of the Great General is the most urgent problem for the General at present. ”

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he was silent...... (To be continued......)
