In the hall of Yanwang's Mansion, after Zhang Yan sent away Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he frowned, sighed softly, and said slowly: "It's really a wave of unsettled waves, Yizhou has just been pacified, and something happened in Nanzhong, I really don't know when the world will be truly peaceful!" ”

After listening to Zhang Yan's feelings, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to Zhang Yan, hurriedly comforted: "Your Highness don't worry, if the general trend is set today, my Han has gradually come out of the troubled times under the governance of His Highness, the people are not restless to live and work, and the soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, after all, the land of Nanzhong is only a small territory, how can I resist the power of my Han?" ”

"Having said that, but this is a war after all, as long as there is a war, there will be death, now the Han Dynasty after years of war, the population has decreased sharply, some places have already been ten rooms and nine empty, inaccessible, according to the household statistics, the population is only three percent of the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han Dynasty truly unified the whole country, the future will be more complicated, and how to make this dynasty prosperous for a long time has always been a headache. Zhang Yan said.

Zhuge Liang said: "As the so-called those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, now what His Highness has done is reasonable and conforms to the will of the people, as long as the successor has been following the footsteps of His Highness, it is not impossible to want a long-lasting dynasty." ”

Zhang Yan empathized with Zhuge Liang's words, but he didn't come out, and suddenly asked, "About the matter of pacifying Nanzhong." Do you have anything to say? ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment. Only then did he reply, "I think." Nanzhong is a place where Yi and Han people live together, and its territory is remote, and if the Han relaxes the supervision of Nanzhong a little, there may be chaos in the local area. In fact, whether it is a Yi person or a Han person, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, as long as the Han can treat them equally. There is no distinction between Han and Yi, or a series of local laws and regulations that are in line with the local government are established to restrain them, as long as the people's hearts are attached, Nanzhong will naturally continue to be stable for a long time. ”

Zhang Yan nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhuge Liang's statement, and then asked: "If you were the commander of the pacification of the Nanzhong army this time, what would you do?" ”

"Eight words, attacking the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom. As long as there is a human heart. There is no need to worry about the lack of a city. Conversely, even if there is a city. But if the people's hearts are not attached, then sooner or later there will be chaos, and once there is a large-scale rebellion, the city will be gone. Zhuge Liang said in a clear manner.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's answer, Zhang Yan expressed his appreciation for Zhuge Liang's construction, and then asked people to chase Xu Sheng back on a fast horse, and then wrote a handwritten letter and asked Xu Sheng to send someone to Zhang Liao.

After this matter was dealt with, a boulder in Zhang Yan's heart was finally moved, he let out a long breath, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, how did you do about moving the capital?" ”

This is the ultimate reason why Zhang Yan left Zhuge Liang to eat, although he has read Zhuge Liang's written report, but it is too general, and there are some implicit meanings in the language, and the description of some things is not detailed enough, so he wants to ask Zhuge Liang about moving the capital in person.

Zhuge Liang is also a smart person, for more than a month, he has been engaged in the investigation of the relocation of the capital, with the support of Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, no one dares to have any hostility towards Zhuge Liang, and the matter of moving the capital is also a secret matter, all the courtiers know in their hearts that if there is no strict order from Zhang Yan, officials and rich gentry are not allowed to sell any Pengcheng's property, Pengcheng is afraid that it has already become a mess.

Until now, Pengcheng is still a pool of calm lake water on the surface, but in fact, under this calm lake, there are many unknown undercurrents.

Even Zhang Yan may not know these surging undercurrents, because Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, whom he trusts, is also one of these surging undercurrents, and some things are hidden by him. Now Zhang Yan is like a blind and deaf person, who can neither see nor hear.

But Zhang Yan is not a fool, he can feel these asympathic atmospheres, now the territory of Pengcheng is too quiet, even the Jinyi guards he sent out, the report back is easy for people to relax their vigilance. The atmosphere is too calm, but for Zhang Yaner, it is not a good phenomenon, for him, it seems to be the darkness before the dawn, his eyes are blinded by the darkness, if you want to see clearly, you must first break this darkness.

"Regarding the matter of moving the capital, the ministers have already written it on the fold, and His Highness can see it one by one." Zhuge Liang said.

Zhang Yan said: "I have read your recital, but it is not detailed enough, it can also be said that the recital is a form of you perfunctory to me......"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"Kong Ming, I asked you to do the relocation of the capital because I believe in you, but I don't want you to live up to my expectations of you. There are some things, even if you don't say it, I know it. When I proposed to move the capital before, many ministers expressed strong opposition, but now it is calm, I don't know if your ability is too high, and you have persuaded these ministers one by one, or are you taking me for a fool? Zhang Yan said in a stern voice.

When Zhuge Liang heard Zhang Yan's words, he vaguely felt a hint of ominous premonition, but he kept his head down, and there was no other word except "Weichen didn't dare".

At this time, Zhang Yan stood up, took out a piece of music from his arms, and then threw it in front of Zhuge Liang, and said coldly: "You open it and take a look!" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly opened the book, and after hurriedly browsing it, the whole person became frightened and angry.

This is a letter of impeachment of Zhuge Liang, impeachment Zhuge Liang used his power to ask for money from the rich gentry of Pengcheng during the period of presiding over the relocation of the capital, and also coerced and lured, robbed the people and other evil deeds. However, the signature of the place where this fold was signed was erased with ink, so that Zhuge Liang couldn't see who it was.

Zhuge Liang was numb for a while, hurriedly raised his head, knelt in front of Zhang Yan, and said loudly: "Your Highness, this is a frame-up, it is a pure frame-up, I, Zhuge Kongming, can swear to the sky, I have never done any of the impeachments mentioned in this recital, if Weichen has the slightest lie, let me die without a place to be buried." ”

Zhang Yan saw that Zhuge Liang was so nervous, so he said: "Don't be so nervous, this king also knows that you will not do such a thing, and the person who played this impeachment has also been removed from office by me, you have been doing your best to handle the matter of moving the capital these days, this king has seen it in his eyes, and he also knows your hard work." However, there are just some people who can't see you going on like this, so there is this impeachment of false accusations. The reason why I show you this piece of music is actually to let you know that you are now smooth sailing, and this king is supporting you, and if there is no this king, you would have been cut by a thousand knives. ”

"Your Highness's great kindness, Weichen is unforgettable!"

"Haven't you noticed anything unusual in the past month or so?"

Zhuge Liang wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak.

Zhang Yan said: "It seems that you still have some mustard in your psychology, otherwise, you wouldn't dare to say it." Say, whatever you say, this king will forgive you without sin! ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, then he was bold and said to Zhang Yan: "Actually, Weichen has also found a lot of clues these days, but there is no way to check it, and in the end it can only be stopped. ”

"Tell me, what clues have you found?" Zhang Yan suddenly became interested, this is the words he has been waiting for for a long time.

Zhuge Liang said: "Actually, since Weichen was in charge of moving the capital, until now, I have not been able to understand one thing. The ministers who were originally strongly opposed to the relocation of the capital, not only began to support them, but also cooperated with the investigation of the ministers, not only that, but these ministers also told all their family property, which made the ministers puzzled, but the ministers couldn't find any clues, so they had to stop it, so they believed that this was the result of the ministers having figured it out. However, something happened yesterday, but it made Weichen feel embarrassed again, but he couldn't say it because he had no evidence. ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"Yesterday at noon, when I went to check the mansion of Chen Qun, the secretary of the household department, because I was in a little anxious, I went to the latrine, and I heard the conversation between the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion and another person, and it seemed that all of Chen Qun's properties in Pengcheng had been secretly sold to that person, not only Chen Qun's property, but even the properties of many ministers in the court and the central government were also secretly sold to this person. At that time, Wei Chen secretly peeped at it and recorded the person's appearance. After that, I quietly left there, and ordered my subordinates to follow everyone who came out of Chen's mansion, and finally caught fish in a big net, and finally let Wechen know the identity of this person......"

"Who is this man?" When Zhang Yan heard this, he asked impatiently without waiting for Zhuge Liang to finish speaking.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally said it, and said slowly: "This person is the housekeeper of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mizhu......"

"Mi Zhu's housekeeper?" Zhang Yan's brows furrowed like a Sichuan character, "Are you sure it's him?" ”

"After many identifications, Weichen determined that that person was Mi Zhu's housekeeper, called Mi Feng."

Zhang Yan looked at Zhuge Liang with a pale face and asked, "Who else have you told about this?" ”

"The king is the only one, and he hasn't mentioned it to anyone else." Zhuge Liang said.

"You go back first, remember, don't mention this matter to anyone anyway, otherwise, be careful that people fall to the ground."

"Whoa! Wechen retires! ”

After Zhuge Liang left, Zhang Yan immediately ordered someone to quickly summon Xuzhou Assassin Shi Mizhu to come and ask what was going on. (To be continued......)
