Dong Yun's face suddenly became very ugly, he looked at Ma Jian viciously, eager to break Ma Tan's body into ten thousand pieces.

The prime minister's unexpected return, let the ministers come out of the city without preparation, causing a grand occasion of 10,000 empty alleys to welcome the prime minister, and temporarily notify the son of heaven Liu Chan, let him discuss with Li Yan when he didn't, instinctively according to the previous habits to go out of the city to greet each other, further deepen the impression of the people, and hit Li Yan's momentum, this is the situation created by Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts, and now as long as Liu Chan takes the initiative to meet the prime minister according to the habits of the past, the momentum of the prime minister's mansion will be half back.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jian jumped out to stop him at this time.

Prior to this, although Zhuge Liang's secrecy work was done very well, Dong Yun believed that Li Yan and Ma Jian must have gotten the news. He has always been worried that Ma Jian will interfere with it, and he has always had some ups and downs in his heart. It wasn't until Li Yan and Ma Jian appeared here like other officials that he was relieved and felt that the crisis had finally passed.

Now he understands that Ma Jian has been preparing, and the reason why he didn't do it was just waiting for an opportunity.

Now this opportunity is very accurate, like getting stuck in the seven inches of a snake.

Dong Yun stared at Ma Jian angrily, and said coldly: "Dasi Nong, in previous years, the prime minister went out to return to the dynasty, but Bixia was like this, and at that time, you didn't say anything to mess up the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, why are you interfering now?" ”

Ma Jian remained silent: "I didn't know it back then, I thought it was wrong, but today I know it, how can I do it again." He looked at Dong Yun's face that was about to be distorted, and smiled faintly: "Xiu Zhao, did you say?" ”

"I have to ask for advice." Dong Yun narrowed his eyes. Take a step forward and be full of fighting spirit.

Ma Jian was secretly happy in his heart, Dong Yun was really angered by him, and he wanted to argue with him in public, which was a good thing. Not to mention that he is reasonable, and he is not afraid of debating with Dong Yun, even dragging on time and letting Zhuge Liang wait over there is enough to interrupt Zhuge Liang's momentum. He coughed unhurriedly and began to speak at length.

Liu Chan stood aside. I don't know whether to advance or retreat. The chubby face is shiny.

……

Zhuge Liang's car arrived in front of the view, but he didn't see the emperor Liu Chan who was supposed to come to greet him, and his brows couldn't help frowning. He reached out and pulled the curtain open and asked softly, "Go and see." What's going on? ”

Zhuge who was accompanying the car responded. Just about to leave. Guo Youzhi ran over panting and told Dong Yun and Ma Jian about the debate between Dong Yun and Ma Yan in front of the palace. Zhuge Liang listened and sighed softly. Get up and get out of the car.

Zhuge Jun and Guo You, one by one, helped Zhuge Liang and slowly walked towards Liu Chan's location.

……

Dong Yun and Ma Jian argued enthusiastically, but the situation of the two was very different. Ma Jian is calm, reasonable, gentle and resolute. Dong Yun was red-faced and red-eyed, a little angry. Debating with Ma Tan, he was under a lot of pressure, and on this occasion, he couldn't calm down, and without saying a few words, he was forced into a corner by Ma Tan, and he couldn't deal with it.

Their debate attracted the attention of many people, and seeing that Zhuge Liang's former right-hand man was now fighting fiercely, many people had a little schadenfreude in their hearts. They didn't step forward to stop them, they just stood there and watched the excitement and see how Zhuge Liang ended.

Most of the people present knew that they could no longer stand with Zhuge Liang, and the reason why they came to greet the prime minister was just because of the situation, just like before. The previous situation was even more severe, because at that time, Prime Minister Zhuge had the power to monopolize, except for him, there was no other choice, now the situation is different, in addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is also the General's Mansion, it really can't be done, you can also leave Chengdu, Zhennan General Wei Ba is recruiting talents.

Therefore, watching Ma Jian and Dong Yun arguing in front of the emperor is actually an opportunity to see how strong the two sides are. Ma Tan used to be Zhuge Liang's confidant, but now his dynamics are somewhat unclear. On the surface, everyone knows that he is the confidant and think tank of the great general Li Yan, and secretly, there is a rumor that he has an irreversible relationship with Wei Ba, the general of Zhennan. No one knows who he is attached to, but one thing is certain, he and Zhuge Liang are no longer in the same group.

Everyone watched it with relish, and forgot about the original protagonist Zhuge Cheng Cheng for a long time, until Zhuge Liang came to the periphery of the crowd, and few people found out.

Guo Youzhi coughed helplessly and said loudly: "The prime minister has arrived-"

This sound was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, someone turned around and saw Zhuge Liang standing behind him, although he was very weak, he couldn't even walk steadily, and could only be supported by Zhuge Jun and Guo Youzhi, but his eyes were still sharp, and he was suddenly startled, instinctively let go of the side, and bowed down: "Welcome to the prime minister, the prime minister has worked hard." ”

If there is one who takes the lead, there is the second; There was a second one, that is, the third and fourth, and in an instant, the crowd that surrounded it was like a giant dragon walking by, splitting a human wall, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhuge Liang with a sick face in awe, and they didn't even dare to come out. The people huddled together moved their steps carefully, holding their breath, for fear of attracting Zhuge Liang's attention.

Hundreds of people huddled together, but they were silent, and it was a little weird to watch.

Zhuge Liang walked slowly, through the long wall of people, and came to the royal driver.

Ma Jian and Dong Yun have stopped arguing. He looked at Zhuge Liang up and down, and bowed: "Prime Minister, you've worked hard all the way, are you okay?" ”

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, as a return gift, and his voice was hoarse. "Young people are often good at learning and sharp words. If Ji Chang is here, when he knows that there is a successor to the Ma family, he smiles at Jiuquan. ”

Ma Tan smiled slightly, as if he was happy to see an old friend, and he didn't hear the hostility in Zhuge Liang's words. "Forty is not confused, if there is no growth, will it be worthy of the ancestors and the teachings of the prime minister."

Zhuge Liang's face darkened. He wanted to use his friendship with Ma Liang to influence Ma Yan, but Ma Jian used the fact that he almost killed him as a lesson, which is not to be talked about together. He turned his head, glanced at Dong Yun, who was still indignant, reproachfully, and walked straight towards Liu Chan.

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Liu Chan hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand, but he didn't know whether he should help Zhuge Liang, and stood there in a daze, sweat sliding down his forehead.

Zhuge Liang stood firm, pushed away Zhuge Jun and Guo Youzhi, and bowed to Liu Chan.

Looking at the half-dressed Zhuge Liang worshipping in front of him, looking at the thin body that the bloated cotton clothes still couldn't hide, and looking at the hair that was once as black as ink, but now it is as white as frost, Liu Chan suddenly couldn't help but moisten his eyes. He grabbed two steps, knelt in front of Zhuge Liang with a plop, supported Zhuge Liang's arm with both hands, and swallowed: "Father, you have worked hard." ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Son of Heaven who was close at hand, and after a while, he laughed silently: "Bixia is fine, and the old minister is at ease." Bixia, the old minister is incompetent, betrays Bixia's trust, and is ashamed of the entrustment of the first emperor. The old minister pleaded guilty to Bixia. ”

Liu Chan was originally a little hairy by Zhuge Liang, but later, he found that Zhuge Liang's eyes were no longer as stern as before, but a little more warm, just like when his father looked at him when he was alive, it was the kind of father's love for his son, although there was still some strictness, but more care. This care made him breathe a sigh of relief, and when he heard the words "Bixia is fine, Lao Chen will be at ease", his nose was sore, and tears flowed down again.

"Father, why blame yourself so much, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there is no need for father to blame himself. The father's father took Liangzhou and conquered Luoyang, and the merit was greater than the fault, and it was still meritorious. The first emperor has the spirit of heaven, and he will also be gratified. ”

Bixia is tolerant, the old minister is grateful, and there is nothing to repay, only to do his best and die. In order to repay the kindness of the first emperor and bixia. ”

Seeing Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang holding hands and looking at each other with teary eyes, Ma Jian secretly sighed. Liu Chan affirmed Zhuge Liang's merit in front of so many people, which is equivalent to having a fixed nature, which is greatly beneficial to Zhuge Liang. It seems that when it comes to influence on the Son of Heaven, Zhuge Liang still has an absolute advantage. This battle had just begun, and although he tried his best, he still couldn't stop Zhuge Liang from regaining the advantage.

There is no way, whether it is Li Yan or him, the intersection with Liu Chan is too little, and it is not enough to replace Zhuge Liang's position in Liu Chan's mind.

After the cold noise, Liu Chan respectfully asked Zhuge Liang to get in the car, although Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but between his gestures, Liu Chan could remind him of the past, if there was a change, it was just the white hair on Zhuge Liang's head and the wrinkles on his face, which made him feel even more guilty. The prime minister worked hard for the Han in Guanzhong, but he was playing crazy in Chengdu, which was really ashamed of his father's teaching. The first emperor really wanted to have such a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Liu Chan invited Zhuge Liang back to the palace and directly arranged for him to recuperate in the palace. He just wanted to make amends out of a natural sense of compensation, hoping to alleviate his guilt a little, but he didn't expect what kind of impact it would have on the battle in the court.

As soon as Zhuge Liang returned to Beijing, he showed unparalleled momentum. Those who were attached to Li Yan began to hesitate, while those who insisted on supporting the prime minister rejoiced, and the prime minister's mansion raised its eyebrows, and suddenly it became lively again.

As Zhuge Liang's most direct opponent, Li Yan felt the most pressure. Back at the General's Mansion, Li Yan directly invited Ma Yan to the study, and did not make a tentative detour as usual, but said straight to the point: "Young Chang, the prime minister is as imposing as a mountain, and he should not be underestimated." You see, what should we do next? ”

Ma Tan smiled: "General, the soldiers are coming to block, and the water is just covering the earth." Look at the prime minister's sick face, can he afford to wait, or can the general afford to wait? ”

Li Yan thought about it and smiled. Even if Zhuge Liang has the ingredients to pretend, it is also a fact that his health is not good. He was on the side at the time, and he could hear Zhuge Liang's heavy wheezing clearly, which was clearly a terminally ill and dying man.

The prime minister is old, and he can't support it anymore...... (To be continued......)
