Chapter 111: The Birds
Taiwei Mansion.
In the past, the Taiwei Mansion, which was glamorous and full of people, also began to decline.
The house was quiet, and the occasional slave who walked by was bowed with his head bowed and his face sad.
Zhuge Dan was lying on the bed in the inner room, looking ahead in despair, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.
"The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking"
Zhuge Dan muttered in a low voice.
He remembered very clearly how much His Majesty respected him at the beginning, almost treated himself with the etiquette of treating his elders, canonized the Tai Lieutenant, held great power, and never lived up to His Majesty's high expectations, led the army to Shu, destroyed Shu in one fell swoop, and became famous.
But now, His Majesty has taken power, and there are no enemies everywhere, but he, the captain, has also fallen to such an end.
At this point, he finally had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
But there was nothing he could do.
His son Zhuge Liang knelt beside him and personally served him with medicinal soup.
Since the last time he was humiliated in public by Cao Chao, Zhuge Dan's body has collapsed.
A man like him who cherishes his reputation can tolerate everything, but he can't endure such humiliation.
Hearing his father's words, Zhuge Liang was also taken aback, and he hurriedly said: "Father, don't say such words if your majesty hears them."
Zhuge smiled self-deprecatingly, "What can you do if you hear it?" ”
"He's just waiting for me to die."
Zhuge Liang didn't dare to say more.
Zhuge Dan looked at him slowly, "When I reach this age, it's okay, but I just want to suffer you." ”
"If you don't have me in charge, you won't be able to protect your clan."
Zhuge Dan has a clear view of the future.
The original Langya Zhuge family was such a big family, and it was famous in the three countries.
The prime ministers of Shu and Wu are all from the Zhuge family.
He also achieved a great official position in the Wei State.
However, now, Zhuge Liang's vein is only the young Zhuge Qiao and the two younger grandchildren.
Zhuge Ke was razed by the three clans, and even his nephew and the like were not spared.
Zhuge is here on his birthday, and there is only this unsuccessful son Zhuge Liang left, and Zhuge Xu's two sons are even more stupid pigs and stupid cows, but they have nothing to do except their appearance.
Langya Zhuge is finished!
Zhuge Dan seems to have seen the scene of the relocation of the Zhuge clan after his death.
Today of the big clans of Shu and Wu is the tomorrow of these wealthy families in the Central Plains.
At this time, a slave suddenly came in to tell him that Zhuge Xu had come to visit.
Hearing this news, Zhuge Dan's anger immediately surged upward.
He struggled to sit up, "He still dares to come, pretty, take my sword"
The reason why Zhuge Dan has fallen to the point where he is now is because of these stupid people in his clan.
The relationship between Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Xu is relatively far away, although they are the same family, but there is not much family affection anymore.
But after all, it is a clan, especially after Zhuge became a lieutenant on his birthday and took on the responsibility of appeasing Zhuge Liang's heirs, he vaguely became the head of the Langya Zhuge family.
After Deng Ai entered Chengdu, he cut off Zhuge Zhan's head and sent it to the rear army for merit.
The result came to Zhuge Dan.
Zhuge Dan was naturally very resentful of this, but because of his special identity, he couldn't reveal the rest of his thoughts, so he sent someone to retrieve the body and find a place to bury him next to Zhuge Liang.
After entering Chengdu, he left Zhuge Liang's family by his side and wrote to the emperor, hoping to pardon their crimes.
Now Zhuge Liang's family members live in Luoyang, and Zhuge sends people to take care of them from time to time.
Zhuge Xu is also in frequent contact with Zhuge Dan, hoping to revive the glory of the Zhuge family.
Of course, it is more likely that he can seek some benefits for himself through Zhuge Dan's official lordship.
In this way, the two sides established a deeper exchange.
Zhuge Dan's reputation is constantly increasing, and he has become the head of the super family, and everyone has asked to see him.
But who would have thought that his secret letter with Zhuge Xu would appear in the emperor's hands.
And his image of a young lieutenant, who has always been fair and selfless, collapsed in an instant.
The Tai Lieutenant, who always had a serious face in front of everyone, claimed to be unparalleled in morality, and had always been strict with his own people, actually secretly told his clansmen in private how to deal with the emperor's interrogation and how to keep his wealth.
To put it simply, it's like a woman who is deeply respected by everyone and suddenly finds that her best friend has posted the chat history of the two to the group.
It's like a man who is deeply respected by everyone and suddenly finds that his friend has posted his browsing history in the group.
Broken in disrepute!!
Zhuge Dan's reputation for so long was ruined, he vomited blood on the spot, and then lay down until now.
And now, the culprit who caused all this still dares to come to see him?
I really thought that if I was good at learning, I would never kill anyone, right?
Looking at Zhuge Dan, who was struggling to cut people, Zhuge Liang hurriedly grabbed him.
"Father! Father! Don't be impulsive! ”

Looking at his irritable father, Zhuge Liang only felt that his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "Father, in fact, people in the world don't discuss this matter too much. ”
"They don't discuss? Wouldn't they think about it in their hearts?! ”
Zhuge Dan's grievances, that is really unspeakable.
His reputation has been maintained for decades, and he is dying so much, and suddenly this kind of thing broke out, and he was disgraced, and he knew that he might as well die directly in the previous year!
It's dead clean!
It's not that there are no ministers who want to come to see the captain these days, but Zhuge Dan is nowhere to be seen.
He felt that everyone was thinking about his letter, and everyone felt that the other person was laughing at him.
I don't see anyone.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Father, there is no such thing, many ministers in the world, who has never had the idea of taking care of their relatives?" Who has not promoted his own children? ”
"This is all human nature, no one will look down on their father because of it!"
This matter, in fact, is normal for many ministers, as long as they ask the emperor for guilt.
After all, everyone is a relative, especially Zhuge Xu is still young, Zhuge Dan taught him and helped him in private, which is a very normal thing.
No one will feel how the captain is.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhuge for setting too high a person for himself.
For so many years, he has worked hard to manage his own personality, an upright, noble, and morally flawed minister!
He took these things too seriously to have such pain now.
Zhuge Dan took a deep breath, "Let him in!" In!! ”
Zhuge Liang hurriedly walked out of the door, and when he walked into the courtyard, Zhuge Xu was standing here with a lonely expression.
Zhuge Liang was very angry, thinking of his father's appearance, he wanted to reprimand this ignorant brother.
How can you do that?
It was you who wrote the letter hoping that your father would help, but you turned around and handed the letter to His Majesty the Emperor??
Your character is really not as good as Jia Chong!
Zhuge Xu hurriedly bowed and greeted, his face complicated.
Zhuge Liang still resisted the idea of reprimand, and asked, "What does Zhuge Gong command?" ”
"I'm here to see the Captain."
"My father is seriously ill, and now he doesn't see any outsiders, please don't blame Zhuge Gong, go back."
Zhuge Liang didn't want this person to meet his father.
Zhuge Xu hurriedly said: "I came to ask the Taiwei for guilt this time, I really have something very important to say to the Taiwei, please go in and confess."
"Father hates you so much now, he doesn't want to see you again."
"Zhong Si, the matter is related to the safety of our entire clan, please go in and tell me!"
Seeing Zhuge Xu's eager appearance, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth, "Come with me." ”
Zhuge Xu thanked him again and again, and then followed Zhuge Liang into the house.
As soon as he walked in, Zhuge Dan shouted and threw the things in his hand to Zhuge Xu, who hurriedly blocked it for him.
That's Zhuge Day's shoes.
Zhuge Xu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately knelt down in front of Zhuge Dan, crying: "Uncle clan!" I didn't mean to!! ”
"This matter, you have to blame that Zheng Chong!!"
Zhuge Dan originally wanted to insult, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little confused.
Zheng Chong?
Hasn't he been retired for many years?
He's not dead yet, is he?
No, what's going on with him here?
Facing Zhuge Dan's suspicious gaze, Zhuge Xu hurriedly said: "After I read the letter, I ordered my subordinates to destroy it, who would have thought that this letter would appear in front of Your Majesty!" ”
"It's not just me, there are many ministers in their families who have such a situation, and after verification, most of these people were recommended by Zheng Chong in the original letter!"
"At the beginning, Zheng Chong made many big mistakes, but His Majesty did not punish him, but allowed him to return to his hometown, and on the day he left, the temple established a pawn house!"
"I'm just now trying to figure out that Zheng Chong is the real head of the Pawn Mansion!"
"Originally, when Sima Shi was still there, he had said many times that someone was secretly helping His Majesty, but now it seems that all those who participated in the conspiracy with Zheng Chong at the beginning are dead, but he, as the culprit, is still alive now, which is enough to prove that he, Zheng Chong, is the leader of the Pawn Mansion, and he has been helping His Majesty in the past!"
Hearing these words, Zhuge Dan trembled.
Zhuge Liang's face changed greatly, and he immediately said: "It's broken, our mansion is too"
Zhuge Dan looked at him sharply and interrupted his words.
Zhuge Liang also reacted and closed his mouth.
Zhuge Dan pondered for a moment, "So, you didn't hand over the letter for flattery?" ”
"How dare I, how could I have thought that the subordinate who followed me all day would do such a thing, now I don't dare to trust everyone in the mansion anymore, and I ask Uncle Clan to forgive me for my crimes!!"
"I wanted to come to ask for sins for a long time, but I couldn't leave the mansion, and today I was pardoned, and I was the first to visit my uncle."
Zhuge Xu couldn't help but cry as he spoke.
