Jiangdu, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since the beginning of his reign, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong and invited his brother Zhuge Jin to join the court to participate in politics.

At the same time, all kinds of affairs in the DPRK and China were also pressed on his head, and the first thing to be solved was nothing else, but Liao Li in the imperial history.

The original leader and chief official of the Yushitai was the Imperial Historian, the deputy of the prime minister of the pre-Qin and Former Han dynasties, and he was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, which can be described as a high authority.

In the later development, the prime minister's authority was weakened and removed from the daily system of hundred officials, and the imperial historian was also weakened and renamed Sikong and Dasikong, depriving him of the power actually in charge of the imperial historical platform.

Yushi Zhongcheng is the deputy of the Yushi Dafu, and the Yushi Dafu is gone, so naturally the Yushi Zhongcheng is in charge of the affairs of the Yushitai.

Compared with the high-ranking and powerful Imperial Historian, the Imperial Historian is a lowly and powerful ...... It's relatively easy to manage, and the same is true of the Later Han Dynasty's Shangshu and Thorn History.

Before Guan Yu handed over the government affairs, because Liao Li made inappropriate remarks when the ministers gathered to discuss the government affairs, Guan Yu was sent to the Tingwei Mansion for punishment.

Liu Yan, the court captain, is not very characterful, or a court captain who wants to do things...... For the time being, Liao Li's other serious crimes could not be found, so he was held still. was going to wait for the general to leave, and then release Liao Li.

That's where the problem arises...... The prime minister gave permission, the court supported, and the court governor's mansion allowed him to go, but Liao Li was unwilling to come out.

No one dares to bet on what will happen if this guy dies in prison as well.

This headache bothered Liu Yan, but the prime minister seemed to lack interest in Liao Li's little temper and didn't deal with it anymore.

Prime Minister's House, partial hall.

Zhuge Liang met with Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin took the lead in mentioning Liao Li's matter and expressed concern: "Liao Gongyuan's high wind and brightness are famous people in the south, and he was convicted for his words, which really worries people in Jiangdong and Jiangxi. When I came to Wuchang, I paid a visit to General He, and I was worried that the imperial court would not tolerate people. ”

Zhuge Liang just smiled when he heard this, and replied calmly: "The methods used by this great general want to make me show favor to Liao Gongyuan and facilitate my administration." As for Liao Gongyuan, this life-sparing person, he is not going to go today, not because he intends to make things difficult, but because after Xu Shangshu, he has no shame to see the world. ”

He was too strong and gave the court a hard slap; Liao Li, who was the highest-ranking member of the Beifu family in the court, was moderate in the incident. Originally, there was no fault, but there was a sharp contrast between Yin Yi, which naturally brought a lot of public opinion pressure to Liao Li.

Liao Li himself felt ashamed of Yi Yi, so he stayed in the Tingwei Mansion and did not move, which meant to help Yi Yi get angry.

When the time is almost up, Liao Li will come out by himself...... So there is no need to worry too much, the imperial court has no intention of persecuting Liao Li, and Liao Li has no intention of resisting desperately.

Zhuge Jin believed in these remarks, how arrogant his brother was, he disdained to lie.

But the worries of Jiangdong scholars were real, and he turned to ask: "Now that the army of the country is pouring in, you want to destroy Wei Ye in a war?" ”

From the perspective of the situation of the enemy and us, this is indeed a battle to destroy the Wei Dynasty, and the main force of the imperial court gathered to attack Luoyang; The other way gathered a large army at the mouth of the Jingwei River and looked at the east of the river.

Strategically speaking, this is the coordinated operation of the Han army as a whole.

Up to now, both the Nanyang Mansion soldiers and the Zhao Yunwei army have maintained great restraint...... Therefore, the government soldiers are still a force in the Han army group.

The Wei army, in the process of the Han army's east-west attack, divided its forces into two parts, stationed in Luoyang and Hedong respectively.

But in fact, this is not the case, the Ruoyang Wei army has become a servant army of the Northern Mansion; The Wei armies of Hebei and Hedong have become the servant armies of the Han court.

This war is more like a puppet show, Beifu goes to fight the puppets of the Han army, and the Han army comes to fight the puppets of Beifu.

Zhuge Jin's question was very broad, and Zhuge Liang had to answer cautiously.

The Beifu maintained great restraint, and the imperial court must also maintain a considerable degree of restraint, and there can be no inappropriate remarks.

For a larger, longer-lasting war...... The prime minister himself is also resistant.

We are at a turning point in the times, where is the road ahead...... This is the focus that heroic people should pursue and discuss, not who will be the emperor.

Obviously, Wei is a national thief, not only a thief of the Han family surnamed Liu, but also a thief of the Han family system.

But Beifu is a thief who usurped the Han Dynasty, but the system is in the same vein as Ji Han, and it is out of the blue.

The cost of destroying Beifu is too high and unrealistic, and the general is also aware of this.

The reason why the general insisted on taking risks was not only because he was loyal to the emperor, but also because of the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law.

Indulge Beifu to become bigger, replace Han, or negotiate with Beifu...... What did the world think, and what did the future think?

No matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion that the ruling father-in-law of the Han family secretly sold the Han family to his son-in-law...... Anyway, it will be his grandson who will be the emperor in the future, not someone else.

Out of this special psychology of avoiding suspicion and clearing suspicion, the general insisted on protecting the Han Dynasty and refused to negotiate more rationally.

As for the great Sima Zhang Fei, there are not so many sayings here, the reason is very pure, that is, he is foolish and loyal to the first emperor; Wei Yan is simpler, he is unconditionally supporting the general.

This is the inside story of the imperial court, there is nothing to hide.

Perhaps it was also because of these factors that Beifu was under the control of Tian Xin and always maintained restraint.

Now any out-of-control conflict...... It is the blood of its own people.

With this common understanding, many things have a common bottom line and tacit understanding.

Therefore, in this kind of semi-public and half-private meeting, there must be no angry words or superficial words.

Zhuge Jin came on behalf of Jiangdong and Jiangxi, which is a neutral force.

He asked in a general way, but Zhuge Liang answered clearly: "If there is no accident, the imperial court can recover the eastern capital and Shanxi in this battle." The time has not yet come to destroy the country. ”

Wei is a buffer and a national thief.

As long as the thieves are outside, there is a room for maneuver.

Zhuge Jin frowned, and the topic changed quickly: "But wait?" ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head slightly and did not hide it: "General Zilong also thinks the same, and Wen Chang also replied." I expect that the same is true for Chen Gong. ”

"And after that?"

"After that?"

Zhuge Liang picked up the narrow feather fan, fanned it gently in the greenhouse, and looked at the courtyard outside the hall, the dark green leaves of the orange trees were dense like a wall, dotted with star-like oranges: "After that, I should discuss with Gong Chen." If the blood of the first emperor can be preserved, the court is willing to hand it over to Duke Chen. ”

As for those around the emperor...... Chen Gong sent someone to be Guangluxun, in charge of the guard, and he could put an end to it.

The tone was very natural, there was no other emotion, and Zhuge Liang was also a little confused: "I am different from Yun Changgong, Yun Changgong wants to restore the Han Dynasty, and he also has the heart to abolish the emperor, establish the prince, and establish the king of Qi." General Zilong and I only want to preserve the blood of the first emperor. ”

The one in Beifu who ascended to the pole, will he let go of the current one?

Zhuge Liang still has some confidence in this, and Zhuge Jin is also thinking about this possibility.

The young general who lived in the tower of Gangneung South Fortress always came to mind, beating his waist drum and entertaining himself.

After getting his younger brother's conclusive remarks, bottom line, and goal, Zhuge Jin had the bottom in his heart and solemnly handed over his hand: "Prime Minister, the enemy country has not been destroyed, and the people of Jiangdong and Jiangxi dare not be negligent." This year's tax rent will be able to arrive in Chen County before the lunar month. ”

That's right, part of the tax rents paid and transported to Jiangdu in the winter and wax months every year have now come to a standstill due to the capture of Hankou by He Qi and the actual blockade of the Yangtze River.

In order not to stimulate He Qi and not give He Qi a chance to go to war, this year's tax rent in Jiangdong will be transported north, taking the route of Wu's army to attack Wei, going north to enter Chaohu Lake, and then going north to Hefei, and then going north along Huaishui to deliver to Chen State to the front army.

This is the grain that saved the lives of the former army, and the true attitude of the imperial court must be determined before transportation.

If the new government still wants to fight to the death with the Beifu like the general, then this tax rent will be delayed indefinitely and the gears of the war will be stuck.
