Chapter 698: Zhuge Liang's Attitude
"Such a big thing, you just agreed so easily?!"
This is Fa Zheng's reaction after listening to Zhuge Liang say about today's private banquet.
Quite anxious, but also quite helpless.
The anxiety lies in the fact that once these five people agree, then Liu Bei will have enough reason and right to forcibly promote the restoration of the prime minister.
The helplessness lies in.
"The lord invites each other with a private banquet and entrusts him with his posthumous affairs. If Xiaozhi was present, would he refuse?! Zhuge Liang asked helplessly.
Yes, this is where Fa Zheng is helpless.
Put yourself in your shoes, if you were there, I am afraid you would not refuse Liu Bei's entrustment.
In fact, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and Huang Quan also knew in their hearts that in that environment, there was no second reaction to do except to agree.
But these three people still don't have a taste in their hearts, why don't they invite me?!
Well, why don't you invite these three people, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, because these three people have their own interest groups behind them, and Zhuge Liang and others are proper hardcore imperial power.
Entrust the future, don't look for confidants, look for people who have something to do with interest groups. Liu Bei is not old and confused.
But if you know, you know, it's also true that you feel uncomfortable.
Especially Pang Tong, he felt the most uncomfortable in his heart.
Fa Zheng and Huang Quan are reasonable, these two were the sons of heaven who only took refuge when they entered Sichuan, but he Pang Tong was more than a year later than Zhuge Liang.
Yes, he Pang Tong was born in Xiangyang Pang Clan, and there are Jingzhou families standing behind him. But Zhuge Liang's interpersonal relationships in Jingzhou are also complicated.
Why can he be invited, but I can't?!
Hawkers, if you are unhappy, you will be unhappy in your heart, but Pang Tong is not a careful person after all, and he didn't think about saying goodbye to Zhuge Liang in this regard.
But the reinstatement of the prime minister still has too much impact after all.
"Kong Ming, you come to be this prime minister, I don't have any opinion, but how about Jingzhou?!"
Pang Tong took the lead.
Anyway, the matter has basically been decided, Liu Bei has the support of Zhuge Liang and other five people, and this matter of reinstating the prime minister is basically a sure thing, and it is useless to oppose it now.
It is better to take this opportunity to force Zhuge Liang to express his stance and strive for the interests of Jingzhou Group.
Well. To a certain extent, Liu Bei is really right not to find Pang Tong to participate in a private banquet.
Even if Pang Tong thinks that he can think about Liu Bei wholeheartedly, but. In fact, when Pang Tong was thinking about the problem, he would inevitably substitute himself into the position of the Jingzhou family, and he really couldn't jump out completely like Zhuge Liang.
It's a question of mindset and position, and it has nothing to do with loyalty.
But when Pang Tong said this, Zhuge Liang didn't react yet, and Fa Zheng and Huang Quan directly rolled their eyes.
This Pang Shiyuan. Almost.
At this time, don't forget to give Jingzhou Pai benefits? !
You don't want to think about it, within the entire Han Dynasty, you Jingzhou faction eats more and occupies more.
Again, if Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, with his background and his complicated interpersonal relationships in the Jingzhou faction, he could still treat your Jingzhou faction badly?!
Wolong and phoenix, who doesn't know that you two are almost wearing a pair of pants?!
Therefore, Pang Tongyi asked this question, and Fa Zheng coughed directly and looked at Zhuge Liang.
Fa Zheng didn't speak, after all, Fa Zheng is indeed somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang to some extent, and he is indeed more biased towards Liu Bei's side.
It's just that he can't jump out completely like Zhuge Liang, although Fa Zheng handed over Li Yan's letter to Liu Bei last time, he still helped Li Yan say something to some extent, and he was also caught in some selfish intentions to help the Dongzhou faction exonerate.
However, Zhuge Liang can still understand the original meaning of this cough.
As for Huang Quan's status, he is the lowest status among the people present, and in terms of relationships, he and these people present are just general friends.
If it weren't for the fact that Huang Quan represented the Shuzhong family, he really wouldn't be qualified to come to such a party.
Huang Quan also knew his situation, so he did not speak as an individual, but said to everyone very directly, "The new Han Dynasty, the foundation is in Shuzhong after all, if Mr. Kong Ming is the prime minister, the families in Shu have no objections, but all parts of Shu carry the foundation of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, and I hope that Mr. Kong Ming will also think of the people in Shu and do more good governance." ”
That means, don't look at you Ji Han has won Guanzhong now, but in the next ten years, Ji Han's foundation will still be Shuzhong. If these families in Shuzhong don't support it, you Zhuge Liang don't want to sit firmly in the position of prime minister.
In private, everyone doesn't have so many scruples when they speak, and now the representatives of the three parties have put their needs on the table, and it all depends on how Zhuge Liang responds.
No way, the window paper is broken, Liu Bei just wants Zhuge Liang to be the prime minister, if you don't seize the opportunity now, you will have to wait until the promise of the future prime minister.
And this is also the reason why Zhuge Liang invited three people.
The interest groups behind these three people must be convinced, otherwise, he will not be able to implement and carry out many things.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, walked in front of Pang Tong first, and said, "Liang once said in "Longzhong Pair" that the revival of the Han Dynasty is in Jingxiang and Bashu. In the land of Jingxiang, the general has been guarding for more than ten years, and the monarchs have used their lives to govern and harmonize, why should Shi Yuan ask more? ! ”
That means, the place in Jingzhou is the place guarded by Guan Yu, and with the complex mountain and waterway between Jingzhou and Yizhou, even if the imperial court wants to directly govern it, the transportation is not so convenient, and it takes several months for the decree to be conveyed back and forth. In today's situation, there is no better way to govern than to send the imperial court generals to the governors.
The capital of the Han Dynasty is now in Chengdu, not in Luoyang, the geographical location is indeed not advantageous, and the control over the local area is indeed relatively weak.
In other words, Zhuge Liang did not plan to carry out large-scale personnel changes in Jingzhou after he succeeded him as prime minister, and the ruling method was the same as before, using the method of appointing rule.
Although this method is not the most acceptable way of ruling for the Jingzhou family, it is indeed the way of governance that the Jingzhou family has become accustomed to.
But Pang Tong was still not satisfied, seeing that a certain black guy was not there at the scene, he boldly asked, "The general is old and has old diseases, if there is a case?"
If Zhang Fei was present, he would have to be anxious with Pang Tong.
Zhuge Liang also didn't expect that Pang Tong would ask so bluntly, a little crying and laughing, but he still gave the answer.
"With Yuanzhi and Boyu there, why worry about this?!"
That means, even if Guan Yu has a case, Xu Shu and Wang Ji are still there.
Xu Shu has also been guarding Jingzhou for more than ten years, and in terms of Xu Shu's character, he is better to deal with than Guan Yu.
And even if Xu Shu will be transferred in the future, there is still Wang Ji here.
To a certain extent, Wang Ji is more in line with the appetite of the Jingzhou family than Xu Shu Wang Ji is a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, and after being properly famous, to a certain extent, Wang Ji knows better where the interests of the family are.
is more in line with the aesthetics of the family than a vulgar martial artist and a literati from a humble background.
Zhuge Liang said that this was the case, and Pang Tong naturally didn't want to continue to ask, after all, these things were enough for Pang Tong to reply to those Jingzhou families.
You can't ask Zhuge Liang to give all the benefits to the Jingxiang family after becoming the prime minister, or change his position and completely turn to the side of the family, right?!
What is the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the family, in fact, everyone knows that Jingzhou just wants to get a future guarantee to ensure that they can obtain the right and right to speak no less than the current interests within the Dahan Group.
Even if there are opinions on Liu Bei, the Jingzhou family is the number one political force within the Han Dynasty after all, as long as this position can be maintained, then the Jingzhou party will only support Zhuge Liang, not oppose it.
After all, Zhuge Liang can be said to be most of the people in Jingzhou, and when he is the prime minister, it is always easier for the Jingzhou faction to make profits.
After solving the Jingzhou faction, Zhuge Liang turned to Fazheng.
"During the Northern Expedition, hard filial piety and Zichu sat in Hanzhong. However, Xiaozhi and Zichu both have serious affairs, and they can't stay in Hanzhong for a long time, thinking that Li Yan, the governor of Jiangzhou, is suitable for both military and political affairs during the governance of Jiangzhou, and the land of Hanzhong is in need of such talents. In the coming day, Liang will be on the table of the Son of Heaven, with Li Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong, what do you think of filial piety? ! ”
This is the compromise that Zhuge Liang made to the Dongzhou faction.
As for Li Yan's actions some time ago, he was not demoted to an official, which can be regarded as looking at Fazheng's face.
Now Zhuge Liang is willing to come forward and praise Li Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong, it seems that it is a demotion to change from the governor of Jiangzhou to the Taishou of Hanzhong, but in fact, the strategic position of Hanzhong is much more important than that of Jiangzhou in the rear, and the authority of the Taishou of Hanzhong is much greater than that of the governor of Jiangzhou.
This is an operation to depreciate and degrade, which can not only express the dissatisfaction of the Son of Heaven with Li Yan, but also appease the emotions of the Dongzhou faction.
Fa Zheng thought for a while, nodded slightly, and had no objections.
But then, Fa Zheng added another sentence.
"The secretary of the ministry has been vacant for a long time, and I want to suggest to the Son of Heaven that Dong He, the left servant of the ministry be promoted to the secretary of the ministry, I don't know what the order of the middle book will be?!"
What Fa Zheng said is skillful.
is not to ask the future prime minister, but to ask the current Zhongshu Ling as Shang Shuling.
The appointment and dismissal of the chief officials of the six departments, strictly speaking, is not decided by the Shangshu Order and the Zhongshu Order, and the two have the right to make suggestions at most, and it is the Son of Heaven who really makes the decision.
But if Zhuge Liang succeeds the prime minister, then according to Liu Bei's definition of the prime minister, the prime minister has a certain right to decide on this matter.
On the surface, Fa Zheng is seeking Zhuge Liang's advice, but in fact, Fa Zheng is asking Zhuge Liang for a promise.
And Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, falling into thought.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang doesn't like this kind of private decision on the appointment and dismissal of court officials, after all, it is Liu Bei today, and he has not really become the prime minister, and he has the right to open the government and govern affairs, and take charge of the three provinces and six departments.
But Fa Zheng's words, Zhuge Liang is really difficult to answer, because on the surface, Fa Zheng is just seeking Zhuge Liang's advice.
Again, if Fa Zheng proposes others, it may be regarded as a selfish temptation, but Dong He is a person with outstanding ability, loyalty, and clear rewards and punishments, and he has a very good appetite for Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, after Zhuge Liang thought about it carefully, he said to Fazheng, "Liang can play the Son of Heaven with Xiaozhi and ask for the permission of the Son of Heaven." ”
This not only answers Fazheng's question, but also expresses his selfishness to Fazheng - no matter how big the prime minister is, he can't go to the Son of Heaven.
When Fa Zheng heard this, he smiled and nodded, and stopped talking.
After getting the Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Quan again.
"The words of public balance are known to you. It's just that it is right to govern for the government and keep the people in mind, so why divide Shuzhong and Jingzhou? ! Yizhou is the capital of the country, as a model of the country, but also ask Gongheng Dai Liang to convey the greetings to all families in Shuzhong, hoping that they will take the country as the priority, do more good deeds, and show the model style of the national capital. ”
When Huang Quan heard this, his face changed.
Okay, for the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction, you can make promises and compromises, but when it comes to our Yizhou faction, you are so tough?!
Isn't this just for the Yizhou family to weigh and weigh, so that they can do it themselves? !
Huang Quan was aggrieved, but there was no way unless the Yizhou family united to rebel, otherwise, there was really no way to take Zhuge Liang.
Can. The reason for the rebellion is to oppose Zhuge Liang as prime minister?!
It's child's play.
Even the problem is that Zhuge Liang got rid of the Jingzhou faction that occupied a high position in the DPRK, and appeased the Dongzhou faction and Yizhou faction in Yizhou, which also had a lot of influence, even if they wanted to rebel, they couldn't make much waves.
Just look at Huang Yuan's fate.
Huang Quan was aggrieved and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
But then, Huang Quan didn't feel aggrieved.
"Gongheng has worked hard and is commendable, and his loyalty to the Son of Heaven is commendable, and Liang also knows it. Therefore, Liang wants to show the Son of Heaven, take Gongheng as the history of the governor of Yongzhou, cooperate with the governor, and deal with the matter of moving the people and military tun in Yongzhou, I don't know if Gongheng is willing to take on this important task? ! ”
Especially next time there are sweet dates, you should say it first!!
