Chapter 112: Soft-hearted
"Your Majesty asked me to come out this time to send an envoy to the Yue Clan."
"I will go as the master, and if this can be done, the clan can be saved"
Zhuge Xu talked about what happened to him after he came out this time.
He was brought out by Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui's words were also very direct, if he wanted to keep the clan, then lead the envoy group to the Yue clan to reopen the trade route.
Of course, Zhuge Xu didn't dare to refuse, he could only say yes.
This time, he came to Zhuge Dan, also to get the other party's understanding before leaving, so as not to suffer revenge on his family after he left
But until the end, Zhuge Dan didn't say whether he forgave him or not, but just asked Zhuge Liang to send this guy away on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Zhuge Dan's heart is still very complicated.
There is not only the fear of losing his reputation, but also the confusion about what will happen in the future.
And at the moment, he couldn't even find anyone to blame.
If you want to blame, it seems that you can only blame yourself, and you should not easily write about those things in your letters.
Zhuge Liang stood in the courtyard, his heart was even more complicated.
"Young Master"
Suddenly, a servant found him, and "there was a request outside the door"
"It's all said that my father is not a guest!"
"The man is here for you."
Zhuge Liang was stunned, "Who?" ”
Ever since his father had been in trouble, his former friends had suddenly disappeared and were no longer there.
And Zhuge Liang has always served by his father's side, and has never gone out, who will come to visit him?
He was ready to go and greet him personally.
As soon as I saw the door, I saw a person standing not far away with a smile, looking around.
"Nexperia?"
"Zhong Si!"
The person who came to find him was Sima Yan.
At this moment, Sima Yan stood at the door with a smile on his face, smirking, Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Why is An Shi still standing here, and go in with me!" ”
He pulled Sima Yan to the inner room, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Who can still come to visit me at this time, but who else is An Shi?" ”
Sima Yan hurriedly grabbed him, "And, there's more!" ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and saw another person walking in from outside the door with a smile.
Seeing this person, Zhuge Liang was shocked and hurriedly bowed to see him.
Cao Chao walked in with a smile and helped Zhuge Liang in front of him, "Why is Zhong Si a little scared when he sees me?" ”
Zhuge Liang hurriedly replied: "How dare you, but I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, and I couldn't open the door to greet him, and I was terrified."
Sima Yan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty is out of the palace today, he always asks me about your situation, so I simply brought him over!" ”
Sima Yan said very proudly, it seems that this is a good thing.
Zhuge Liang just glanced at him, I thank you!
I'm so blessed to have made a friend like you.
But of course he didn't dare to say this on his face, but said humbly: "Your Majesty is really honored to come, and the minister is grateful."
"Okay, it doesn't have to be like this, today I just followed my friend to visit his friend, don't be so restrained."
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to lead them to the guest room, and at the same time sent someone to inform his father.
Although Cao Chao said that he came with a friend, he still sat on the top seat, and the other two sat on his left and right.
Visiting friends and returning friends, but this superior has to sit by himself.
The atmosphere was a little silent, Sima Yan saw the restraint of his friend, and hurriedly said: "Zhong Si, Your Majesty asked you not to be restrained, so you should not be restrained." ”
"Your Majesty has always attached great importance to you, and asked me before why you didn't pass the assessment."
"Your Majesty was also very surprised that you did not participate in the assessment this time, and asked me if you intentionally wanted to be his minister."
"I have made it clear to Your Majesty, I said that you are a more cautious person, and Your Majesty has killed a lot of people over the years."
Every time Sima Yan said a word, Zhuge Liang's face became a little paler.
Before Sima Yan could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang almost collapsed, he looked at Cao Chao, and explained tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's not like that, it's not like that, my father is seriously ill, so I can't participate in the assessment, how dare I be dissatisfied with Your Majesty, I, I"
Seeing that he became Deng Ai's friend in an instant, Sima Yan also realized the gaffe, so he decided to make amends.
He hurriedly looked at Cao Chao and explained seriously to his friend: "Your Majesty, Zhong Si has never wanted to oppose you, he is loyal to you, when someone says something against you, he has to dissuade that person, so that he doesn't want to provoke right and wrong!" ”
Zhuge Liang almost cried.
Big brother! Please!
Stop it!
Cao Chao raised his head and laughed at this moment.
"Zhong Si, you see, it is still An Shi who knows me best, you people all think that I am cruel and dare not tell the truth in front of me, only An Shi knows my benevolence and righteousness, to tell the truth, this is the reason why I love An Shi."

When Sima Yan heard this, his face suddenly became a little proud again.
Cao Chao suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang, and at this moment, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and the sense of oppression was extremely strong.
"Zhong Si, why don't you participate in this year's assessment?!"
Zhuge Liang only felt that it had become difficult to breathe, he shuddered, looked at the confident face in the distance, and then replied: "Your Majesty, I am afraid of affecting the clan." ”
"Oh? Clans? ”
"The minister is not talented, but he is afraid that he will do something wrong, and in the end he will affect the entire clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the living room became silent again.
Cao Chao nodded slowly.
"Yes, although it's not entirely true, it's also because you're afraid that I'll attack your clan, and I don't want to be an excuse, I just want to inherit the title and read and write articles at home."
Cao Chao said: "Actually, even if this is the case, I will still do it." ”
"Huh?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and Cao Chao said solemnly: "The big clans of Shu and Wu have been cleaned up, and next, maybe I want to do something to you people one by one." ”
"Don't feel that I am unkind, that I am cruel."
"Indeed, it is very unfair to you to force you to leave your former home and go to a strange place, and to take away your farmland and house, but it is better for the world to do so."
Cao Chao looked at him and asked calmly, "What do you think?" ”
Zhuge Liang naturally had a lot to say in his heart, but in front of Cao Chao, he just nodded, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
"Even people like Taiwei will be afraid of their own clan, will collude with their own clansmen, and want to fool me I have always respected Taiwei, and now I can't believe that Taiwei will really do this, you say, who else can I trust these big clans now?"
"Even the captain is like this, let alone the rest of the people."
"Therefore, I have to constantly weaken them and suppress them, lest the Great Wei perish in the hands of these people."
Cao Chao said to Zhuge Liang, but his eyes glanced out from time to time.
"Your Majesty!!"
Suddenly there was a wail outside the door.
"The sinner Zhuge begged to see His Majesty!!"
Zhuge Liang hurriedly stood up, and Sima Yan was no exception.
Cao Chao let out a long sigh, as if he had just discovered Zhuge Dan outside, "Don't you invite the Taiwei in?" ”
Zhuge Liang hurriedly went to pick up his father.
Zhuge Dan trembled and walked in front of Cao Chao and saluted.
It's just a short period of time, Zhuge Dan has aged rapidly, his hair is gray, and his face does not have much luster.
In the past, the famous people who pointed out the country and did not take Biqiu Jian in their eyes are extremely weak and decadent at the moment.
With tears in his eyes, he was a little pitiful and aggrieved at the moment.
Cao Chao can't say that he doesn't have the slightest feeling in his heart.
Cao Chao is extremely demanding of himself, even now, he still has a very detailed schedule, and what he does every day is clear and clear.
He insisted on reading and practicing swords every day to improve his abilities in all aspects.
In the classics, he has been able to annotate Wang Su's annotations, and in swordsmanship, he can even fight against ten good players at the same time.
If it was only about swordsmanship, he might be able to fight Wen Yang, of course, whether he could win or not was another question.
Even in the field of literature, Cao Chao recently wrote an essay to praise Zhong Hui, which is so high in literary attainments that it is talked about by everyone, and Cao Chao's talent is really terrible.
When dealing with world affairs, Cao Chao is also very calm, even harsh.
Even for those ministers who have made great contributions, he can deal with them ruthlessly.
For example, the general Hu Zun, after his death, his youngest son was disposed of by Cao Chao for taking loose alcohol many times during the mourning period.
However, Cao Chao is different from Sima Shi after all, when he does things, he can't be absolutely ruthless.
He can spare Sima Yan because of his personal friendship, and he can also forgive Sima You because of Wang Su's merits.
In the face of this general who had made many achievements in the past, although he had good reasons to force him to death, and even forcibly relocated his clan, he was a little soft-hearted when he looked at the sad appearance of the other party.
"Captain, get up."
"I have already verified what you have committed, in fact, you only persuaded him to treat me truthfully in your letter, it was Zhuge Xu who misunderstood and misunderstood what you meant."
Zhuge Dan raised his head, but his face was red and hot.
He really didn't have the face to look at His Majesty anymore.
"Your Majesty, the minister pleads guilty!"
"Taiwei is already this age, these notoriety, if you can clarify, let's clarify, I allow Taiwei to resign, it's just ah, this Jingnan was in turmoil before, if Taiwei can raise his clan to go, for me to govern and educate the local area, drive the local literary style, and cultivate a few more talents, I will be very happy."
Zhuge Dan suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly saluted Cao Chao again, his face was extremely resolute.
"The minister will definitely not live up to His Majesty's high hopes again, this time he will take his clan to Jingnan, educate the local area, and cultivate a few more talents for His Majesty!!"
"Well, you don't have to bring all the clansmen, bring some excellent talents over, there is a shortage of talents over there."
"Only !!"
