After learning about his specific responsibilities, Zhang Xi was a little more relieved when he became the secretary of the military department.

Learning still has to learn, not only to explore by yourself, but also to often humbly ask people like Zhang Yi who have practical experience in government affairs. This made Zhang Yi stunned.

It's not that Zhang Yi is uncomfortable because his superiors ask his subordinates for advice, but Zhang Yi believes that Zhang Xi has also come from the local government step by step, and there should be no shortage of actual government experience.

As for the military side is joking, the former general of the Han Dynasty will not understand military affairs?!

If Zhang Xi doesn't understand military affairs, then Guo Huai and Zhang He, hurry up and go to the General and go home to accompany his wife and children.

So Zhang Yi really doesn't understand what Zhang Xi is doing.

But since Zhang Xi humbly asked for advice, Zhang Yi couldn't hide it, anyway, teaching one Jiang Wei is teaching, and one more Zhang Xi would not be troublesome.

However, Zhang Xi suddenly found that it seemed that he really didn't know anything.

What Zhang Yi told Jiang Wei, in fact, Zhang Xi could understand and understand why he did it. In the field of actual government affairs, in fact, Zhang Xi really does not lack exercise.

In terms of military affairs, although Zhang Xi had little control over the matter of recruiting and issuing soldiers and lacked a certain amount of practical experience, what Zhang Yi said was actually not actual operation, but more about supervision and training. If you are an official, you should be responsible for the overall planning, and you must know the means of collecting and distributing officials, but there is no need to actually operate it yourself, as long as you do a good job of supervision and prevent officials from committing adultery.

is also a person who has been in charge of one party, in fact, Zhang Xi is also familiar with this aspect, and no one is worse than others.

Hearing the end, Zhang Xi finally came to his senses. What I lack is really not any actual experience in government affairs, but self-confidence in my own ability.

I have traveled through more than ten years, and it is not that I have not learned anything, such a long time of conquest, making suggestions, and being in charge of the political side, I have long let myself unconsciously learn the governance methods of this era.

I thought I couldn't do it, but in this era, my experience and ability are enough to cope with my current work.

As for whether it can be improved, at least Zhang Xi has not found inspiration in this area yet, maybe in the future, when he is more familiar with his work, or when he encounters unexpected things, he can remember it.

In this case, you don't have to worry about your lack of ability to take on heavy responsibilities.

After figuring it out, Zhang Xi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, went to the official office to clock in and went to work during the day, and after returning home from work in the afternoon, he nested in the mansion to educate Xiao Xuan'er and Xiao Zheng'er.

Speaking of which, Xiao Xuan'er is thirteen years old this year, and if she doesn't educate her well, she will soon become a girl who only knows how to dance with knives and guns, just like her mother.

As for Xiao Zheng'er, it's time to be enlightened.

But just when Zhang Xi had something to do at work and nothing to teach the children at home, when he was living a happy family life, trouble came to his door.

In December of the first year of Zhang Wu, Sun Quan sent an envoy to Chengdu.

Nominally, Sun Quan sent people to congratulate Liu Bei on his succession to the throne of the Han Emperor, but in fact, Sun Quan sent people to test Liu Bei's reaction to his proclamation as emperor.

In this envoy group, the main envoy is Zhuge Jin, and the deputy envoy is Lu Fan, and there is no problem with these.

Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, and he also had the experience of going to Chengdu to persuade the two families to negotiate peace a few years ago, so it is normal for him to be the main envoy.

Lu Fan, as a veteran of Jiangdong and Sun Quan, respects the old minister, his own qualifications, connections, and eloquence are all one and the same, he is also a suitable person as a deputy envoy to help Zhuge Jin socialize.

But the problem is - Lu Fan, an old shameless person, actually brought Sun Quan's "edict", saying that he would crown Sun Shangxiang as the "eldest princess" of Eastern Wu?!

This is especially to roast Zhang Xi on the fire!!

Fortunately, her daughter-in-law is quite sensitive in this regard, although Lu Fan also has a half-teacher kindness to her, but at this time, Sun Shangxiang didn't save any face for Lu Fan, and directly blasted out of the mansion with the edict.

can't do too much, Sun Shangxiang also wants to retain a trace of aristocratic decency, otherwise Sun Shangxiang would have scolded Lu Fan a long time ago.

Good guy, they have all hid in Chengdu, and his brother who lacks eyes still doesn't let go of any opportunity to use himself?!

Sun Shangxiang was very angry about this, and was also a little sad to catch Zhang Xi and complain at night, and scolded Sun Quan in front of Zhang Xi, which made Zhang Xi hurriedly comfort Sun Shangxiang for a long time.

But there is one thing to say, Sun Quan really did not do authentic in this matter.

It is impossible for Sun Quan not to know the impact of his presumptuous claim to be emperor, since he came under the banner of congratulating Liu Bei on his succession, the envoy should naturally be cautious in his words and deeds, which is in line with the current relationship between the two sides.

For example, the three brothers of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jin, the eldest brother, came to Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang arranged a place for the eldest brother to live, which could only be in the pavilion, never mentioning that Zhuge Jin should go to live in his mansion, and Zhuge Jun, a member of the Ministry of Labor, was not allowed to come forward to entertain the eldest brother, and he should live where he should live.

Moreover, every meeting and meeting between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin must be during the day, and when there are many people to accompany them, they only talk about official affairs and never mention personal feelings, in order to show justice.

In private, the three of them are brothers, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge have no problem kneeling down to ask for peace when they see Zhuge Jin, but in official affairs, one side is the Zhongshu Ling of the Han Dynasty and the member of the Ministry of Works, and the other side is the envoy sent by Sun Quan who doesn't know how to define it, and all three of them must avoid suspicion.

In this regard, Zhuge Jin didn't mean to complain about the second and third brothers at all, but felt that it should be taken for granted.

Look at what people do, and look back at how you did it as an older brother?!

actually asked Lu Fan to canonize Sun Shangxiang as the "eldest princess" with an edict.

just blasted Lu Fan out, it was Sun Shangxiang who saw that Lu Fan was old and half a teacher's face, and he really had nothing to do with Sun Quan's brother.

Sometimes Zhang Xi doesn't understand very well, how long is Sun Quan's brain circuit, why is it so weird, and he doesn't care about his sister's feelings at all? !

When he attacked Jiangling at the beginning, Sun Quan didn't think about what Sun Shangxiang's position should be when he was still in Jiangling City, and now he is still doing such a set. Iniquity.

And Zhang Xi also has a headache.

This matter has already happened, even if Sun Shangxiang drove people out of the mansion, it can be regarded as a statement, but in this matter, Zhang Xi had to ask for guilt and explain it to Liu Bei in person.

Although Zhang Xi knew that Liu Bei would not have any estrangement with Zhang Xi because of this matter, Zhang Xi also had to know how to automatically avoid suspicion, and the nature of this matter was different between being on the table and not being on the table.

Then Zhang Xi was summoned by Liu Bei.

This is a bit out of Zhang Xi's expectations, it can't be that our lord becomes the emperor, and even the character has collapsed, right?!

Do you really want to hold yourself accountable for this?!

It turns out that Zhang Xi thought a little too much, and Liu Bei summoned Zhang Xi to pass on some information through Sun Shangxiang.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's eldest brother Zhuge Jin came prepared this time.

Standing in the position of Jiangdong's courtiers, Zhuge Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with Sun Quan being the emperor at all, so when he came to see Liu Bei this time, Zhuge Jin was not weak at all, and he would not reproduce the embarrassment he had when he came to seek peace last time.

And this time when he came to Chengdu, Zhuge Jin had already prepared his rhetoric, trying to persuade Liu Bei to admit that Sun Quan was the emperor, and at worst, Liu Bei could not deny Sun Quan as the emperor.

Zhuge Jin's first position is the current change in the situation in the world.

Although Cao Wei has lost Liangzhou and the northern part of Yongzhou, these two places belong to the kind of places that are vast and surrounded by foreign races in the eyes of the people of the time.

Although there are nine counties in total, in terms of total population, it is not as large as the population of Yuzhou, which has only two counties.

Liu Bei occupies these places, the biggest advantage is probably to obtain the resources of the supply of war horses, but it is not much help to Liu Bei's economy and military, on the contrary, Liu Bei, as the successor of the Han family, since he occupies Liangzhou, he can not easily abandon it, and must also support the development of Liangzhou for a long time.

And although Cao Wei lost these places, it was far from the point of breaking his muscles and bones, even if Liangzhou did not provide war horses, Cao Wei also had the war horse of Wuhuan in the north to help, and Liangzhou was not indispensable to Cao Wei.

In the current situation, although Liu Bei has a certain strategic initiative, the overall situation is still Cao Wei is strong, and Wu Han is weak. If the Wu and Han families quarrel with each other, it will allow Cao Wei to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Secondly, Zhuge Jin put forward a case, in fact, it was not without the situation of two emperors standing side by side before.

Two hundred years ago, when the former Han Dynasty declined and Wang Mang usurped power, it was also as strong as today, and there were many people who called the emperor and the king at that time.

And Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu cleaned up the old rivers and mountains, and after he was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, there were no other emperors in the world, not to mention anything else, Shudi was Gongsun Shu's alleged emperor at that time, and he called himself the White Emperor.

At that time, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, in order to clean up the warlord Kui in Longxi, did not fail to write letters with Gongsun Shu, calling each other by name without mentioning their identity.

Emperor Guangwu can have the courage to tolerate Gongsun Shu, can't Liu Bei, who inherited the Han Dynasty, follow the precedent and make friends with Eastern Wu?!

In the end, Zhuge Jin also made a position for the relationship between the two sides - only after Cao Wei was eliminated, the two families would naturally have to score a lot, and at that time, it would not be too late to decide who was the real master of the world.
