Chapter 358: Young and Envious Zhuge is worried

Why did Ma Tan prevent the scribe from sending the documents to Zhuge Liang?

It's not that he has any selfish motives.

It's just that although it's noon now, it's time for Zhuge Liang to eat.

Zhuge Liang is already very busy in his daily life because of complicated government affairs, and Ma Jian is worried in his eyes in the past.

Although he couldn't stop Zhuge Liang from being diligent in the king's affairs, as a scholar, he could still do it without letting people disturb him during Zhuge Liang's short time of eating.

Of course, Ma Tan did not blame the scribes who held the papers.

After all, in the world, ordinary people follow the two-meal system, and it is normal for them not to know that Zhuge Liang will eat at noon.

And the reason why Zhuge Liang began to eat at noon in these days was not his personal wish.

It was Liu Bei who saw that Zhuge Liang was working too hard, so he made a special order to let Zhuge Liang eat at noon.

Food supplement is a well-known truth in the world.

Liu Bei's edict was just issued a few days ago, and Zhuge Liang, who has always been low-key, did not publicize this matter, so many scribes in Shangshutai did not know about it.

If Liu Bei hadn't had this grace, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have wasted his time eating at noon.

Ma Tan had no intention of blaming the clerk holding the Liangzhou document in front of him, he just asked the clerk to step aside with a serious face.

Wait for the prime minister to finish the meal.

However, after Ma Tan gave this order, the scribes who had obeyed him in the past seemed a little hesitant at this time.

Seeing that the scribe did not act according to his orders, Ma Yan's face instantly became serious.

He just wanted to stretch out his finger to reprimand the scribe, but before Ma Tan's rebuke could speak, the scribe in front of him was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.

It was only at the moment when he lowered his head that he also handed the document he was holding in both hands to Ma Yan's side.

A trilled explanation reached Ma Tan's ears at the right time.

"This is Liang Zhoumu's letter."

When this explanation fell into Ma Tan's ears, Ma Tan's reprimanding words were directly blocked in his throat by this sentence, and he couldn't say anything.

And when this sentence reached the ears of dozens of other scribes on the side, their faces were full of doubt.

Did something big happen in Liangzhou?

The power of the state pastor is so great that he can decide almost everything, and with the current power of the Liang Zhou pastor, he can solve many things in Liangzhou by himself.

Therefore, if Liang Zhoumu suddenly has a book, then the content of this letter must not be simple.

And just when doubts kept emerging in their hearts, everyone present also understood why this scribe dared to disobey Ma Tan's order in public.

For no other reason, the prime minister issued a strict order not long ago:

"Liangzhou is on the book, and it cannot be delayed."

From this strict order issued by Zhuge Liang, it can be seen how much he cares about Liangzhou.

The reason why the scribe dared to disobey Ma Yan's order was because he was more afraid of disobeying Zhuge Liang.

All the scribes understood the truth, how could Ma Jian not know?

So his face is a little ugly now.

He thought very highly of himself, not only did he not rebuke the scribe, but he was blocked by the scribe's words and couldn't say anything, which made Ma Jian a little annoyed.

However, Ma Tan can get Zhuge Liang's weight, of course, he is not a person who does not know the importance of it, he quickly recovered his emotions.

Then he quickly took the Liangzhou document handed over by the scribe, and turned around and entered the hall where Zhuge Liang was.

When Zhuge Liang was away, Ma Jian would disobey him, I don't know.

But Zhuge Liang is now in the council hall behind him, and in this case, Ma Jian does not dare to neglect Zhuge Liang's orders at all.

When Ma Tan strode into the chamber with the Liangzhou documents in his hand, he saw Zhuge Liang who was holding pasta in one hand and carefully reviewing the documents in the other.

In Ma Yan's sight, he saw that whenever Zhuge Liang saw any omissions in the documents, he would immediately put down the pasta in his hand, and subconsciously picked up the red pen on the book in front of him to correct it.

It is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's move that the mountain-like documents on his book are slowly decreasing.

But the food on his plate remained the same as before.

Seeing this scene, Ma Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even with His Majesty's kindness, the prime minister has not changed his style of focusing on official duties at all.

With complicated feelings, Ma Jian walked quickly towards Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang was preoccupied with the official business in front of him, so when Ma Jian walked a few steps in front of him, Zhuge Liang raised his head when he heard footsteps.

When Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in green clothes and had an extraordinary bearing, raised his head, he saw that it was Ma Yan.

Seeing that it was Ma Jian coming, a smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

Zhuge Liang has an excellent personal relationship with Ma Tan's brother Ma Liang, because of this relationship, Zhuge Liang has a little more love for Ma Tan than ordinary people.

Of course, Zhuge Liang's love for Ma Jian is not only because his brother is Ma Liang.

Ma Tan was born in the Ma clan of Xiangyang scholars, and he was quite famous in Jingzhou when he was young.

Later, Ma Jian followed Liu Bei into Shu as a Jingzhou officer, and successively served as the commander of Mianzhu County and the county commander of Chengdu.

Mianzhu and Chengdu are both large counties in Yizhou, and Chengdu is the center of political power of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Jian can hold such an important position and has never made mistakes, and his own talent is not low.

Of course, what Zhuge Liang likes most about Ma Jian is that Ma Jian is talented and good at military strategy.

Zhuge Liang often talked with Ma Jian about military strategy, from day to night.

Everyone in the world knows that Zhuge Liang is the world's strategist and master of governance, but what the world doesn't know is that Zhuge Liang is also quite concerned about military affairs.

After all, Zhuge Liang's ambition is to become a famous minister like "Guan Zhong" and "Le Yi", and Zhuge Liang has been doing the things of "Guan Zhong", and has been doing it very well.

Now his dream of becoming "Le Yi" has not yet been realized.

Under this kind of regret, Zhuge Liang is particularly fond of Junjie, who is good at military strategy.

Just like Zhuge Liang to Mi Yang, the same is true.

If it weren't for Mi Yang's brilliance and being born, according to the development of history, Ma Jian should be the disciple in Zhuge Liang's heart.

It's just that although there is Mi Yang in this world, Ma Yan's status in Zhuge Liang's heart is still not low.

Zhuge Liang saw that Ma Tan, who was deeply valued by him, suddenly came to him, and he guessed that Ma Jian should have something to report.

Sure enough, after Ma Tan stopped a few steps in front of Zhuge Liang, he bowed down and raised the Liangzhou document in his hand and reported to Zhuge Liang:

"Prime Minister, Liangzhou Mu has sent the documents."

Seeing that Ma Tan said that Mi Yang had sent the book, Zhuge Liang's face was upright.

According to the time calculation, Mi Yang had just arrived in Nanzheng.

Now is the time for Mi Yang to adjust personnel and sort out state politics, and at such a time, generally nothing major will happen.

Could it be that Mi Yang is in trouble in Liangzhou?

Zhuge Liang can deliberately accept Mi Yang as an apprentice, and he naturally loves Mi Yang very much.

The more he likes it, the more Zhuge Liang will care about Mi Yang.

Mi Yang's military talent, Zhuge Liang can be trusted.

But Mi Yang's political talent has not been shown in front of the world.

In Zhuge Liang's heart, Mi Yang is just a young man in his twenties after all.

It is reasonable for such a young man to suddenly take charge of the affairs of a state and encounter some troubles that cannot be solved.

Because of this speculation in his heart, Zhuge Liang immediately asked the clerk standing next to him to come forward and fetch the documents in Ma Tan's hand after hearing Ma Tan's words.

There was a hint of urging in Zhuge Liang's commanding tone.

Ma Yan, who was standing not far in front of Zhuge Liang, was keenly aware of the eagerness in Zhuge Liang's words.

After perceiving this, although Ma Jian did not have an abnormal look on his face, there was envy surging in his heart.

Liangzhou is the northern gateway of Yizhou, and Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister, is anxious about Liangzhou's sudden book, which is also a normal thing.

It's just that there were documents from Jingzhou delivered before, but Zhuge Liang didn't show this eagerness.

Jingzhou's territory is several times that of Liangzhou, and its strategic significance is also higher than that of Liangzhou.

In such a situation, Zhuge Liang had a different reaction, perhaps because Liang Zhoumu was Mi Yang.

At Zhuge Liang's urging, the scribe quickly handed over the documents in Ma Tan's hand to Zhuge Liang's hands.

And after Zhuge Liang took the paperwork, he immediately unfolded it and looked at it.

In this document written by Fa Miao, the main thing is about the release of military power from Mi Yang's cup of wine.

Of course, in the document, Fa Miao focused on the fact that Mi Yang took back all Wu Yi's military power.

After seeing this, a look of contemplation appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

He originally thought that Mi Yang was in trouble, but what he didn't expect was that Mi Yang would collect all the military power in Liangzhou to himself in a short period of time.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Mi Yang's move was undoubtedly a bit too hasty.

It's just someone else, after all, Wu Yi's status is different from others, and Mi Yang's doing this will definitely make Wu Yi feel dissatisfied.

Moreover, if Wu Yi has a dislike with Mi Yang because of this, it will be detrimental to the future of Liangzhou and even to the future of Mi Yang.

After realizing this, Zhuge Liang immediately got up, he asked people to prepare the car, and he was going to the palace to meet His Majesty.

This matter needs to be cleaned up.

...

In the palace, Liu Bei was watching with his hands in his hands, and Liu Chan was practicing the art of riding and archery on the open ground outside the main hall.

Looking at Liu Chan, whose body was gradually growing, while galloping on the horse under his crotch, from time to time he missed some arrows into the arrow target dozens of steps away, Liu Bei's face showed a smile of relief.

Although Liu Chan's archery technique was still quite clumsy in the eyes of Liu Bei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

But Liu Chan grew up in the deep courtyard since he was a child, and his performance has made Liu Bei feel happy.

It's just that Liu Bei's eyes are still full of love when he looks at Liu Chan.

But when he saw Liu Chan being pulled aside by a noble lady in palace clothes to wipe the sweat on his head after dismounting, the love in Liu Bei's eyes gradually dissipated.

The noblewoman was nominally his queen.

In fact, she is a political protector of the Yizhou Shi clan.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei really couldn't be moved by the scene of "the queen's kindness" in front of him.

But after all, the Wu family is the queen of the Han Dynasty, and since she entered the harem, she has always been quite compliant, so Liu Bei does not have much malice towards her.

Just when Liu Bei looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, a small yellow door ran from behind him.

After Xiao Huangmen came behind Liu Bei, he immediately said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately had a smile on his face, and he turned to Xiao Huangmen and ordered, "Bring the prime minister over quickly." ”

Under Liu Bei's order, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran away in a hurry.

Soon after, this little yellow door came to Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Liu Bei seemed to be in a very good mood.

How can a fish not be happy when it meets water?

Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: "Everyone in Chengdu knows that the prime minister is a busy man, how can I have time to come to the palace to see me today." ”

Liu Bei's tone was very relaxed, as if he was asking a friend.

And if it is someone else, they may not be able to answer Liu Bei's words for a while, but Zhuge Liang is obviously not Liu Bei's side.

I saw Zhuge Liang take out Liangzhou's documents from his arms, respectfully handed the documents to Liu Bei, and said:

"Liangzhou Mu has a book."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't answer his jokes directly, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little bored.

It's just that after Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately took the documents handed over by Zhuge Liang.

The situation in Liangzhou, as an emperor, is naturally also concerned.

But after Liu Bei unfolded the document and read the contents, he did not have the same worries in his heart as Zhuge Liang.

On the contrary, Liu Bei glanced at the Wu family in the distance, and then at the contents of the document, and some smiles appeared on his face.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei didn't seem to care about this matter, so he immediately opened his mouth to remind Liu Bei: "Liang Zhou's behavior is inevitably a little tricky. ”

"The way to govern is to be quiet."

After Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei immediately understood what Zhuge Liang was worried about.

"Kong Ming is worried that when this matter spreads, the Yizhou Shi clan, who are deeply involved with Wu Yi, will attack Zicheng in terms of Qing Yi?"

Seeing Liu Bei directly express his deepest concerns, Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Zicheng is the pastor of Liangzhou, if his name is damaged, it will be detrimental to the stability of Liangzhou."

"Zicheng originally had a gap with the Yizhou Shi clan, and with the previous methods of the Yizhou Shi clan, they would not just discuss things with Qing."

The reason why Zhuge Liang was in a hurry to enter the palace was not because he thought that Mi Yang's cup of wine and release of military power was wrong.

After all, it was he who taught Mi Yang to keep the military power firmly in his hands.

And compared with the many bloody cases of collecting military power in the world, Mi Yang's move to release military power with a cup of wine is already very mild, and the impact is minimized.

Zhuge Liang felt that Mi Yang's actions towards Wu Yi seemed to be a little too hasty.

Wu Yi is not only a relative of the Han Dynasty, but there are also many Yizhou scholars standing behind him.

Wu Yi's military power was directly deprived by Mi Yang, how could this not make those Yizhou scholars jump on their feet?

Therefore, Zhuge Liang came to meet Liu Bei this time, in order to clean up the aftermath of Mi Yang.

Liangzhou is a start-up, and there can be no turmoil.
