Zhuge Liang ran all the way forward, overtaking the soft sedan chair of many courtiers on the way, and when he was about to reach the gate of the imperial city, he caught up with the soft sedan chair that Zhuge Jin was riding, and seeing that Zhuge Jin was about to enter the imperial city, Zhuge Liang shouted loudly: "Lord Zhuge Lord!" Lord Zhuge ! ”

Zhuge Jin was sitting in a soft sedan chair, in Chen Qun's mansion for a night, everyone brainstormed, but the matter of the Zen ceremony was really a very important thing, and it had to be hidden from the regent Zhang Yan, and everything had to be carried out in secret, and the slightest rumor could not be leaked, so the difficulty coefficient increased a lot.

Therefore, everyone discussed all night, and did not discuss a reason, so they could only go to the early court first, and as for the matter of the Zen ceremony, they could only discuss it in the long run.

At this moment, Zhuge Jin was still thinking about some details in his mind, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting loudly, and the voice was very similar to his younger brother Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but lift the curtain of the soft sedan chair and look out.

Zhuge Jin didn't look at it closely, but he really saw Zhuge Liang chasing after him from behind, and hurriedly shouted at the sedan chair man who was carrying the sedan chair: "Stop the sedan chair!" ”

The sedan chair man stopped moving abruptly, and dropped the sedan chair on the ground, Zhuge Jin lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair, stood on the side of the road and shouted at Zhuge Liang who ran behind him: "Kong Ming, why are you so flustered?" ”

Zhuge Liang was already out of breath because he ran all the way, and after running in front of Zhuge Jin, he first gasped for breath, then looked around, took Zhuge Jin's hand, and without saying a word, pulled Zhuge Jin towards the dark place on the side of the road.

Zhuge Jin was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Kong Ming." What are you doing here? Let go of me. Let people see. What kind of system? ”

Zhuge Liang pulled Zhuge Jin under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, there was no light here, and the leaves also blocked some of the moonlight, making it very dim, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find that there were people standing here.

"Big brother, you tell me honestly, you didn't return all night last night. Where did it go? Zhuge Liang changed his previous attitude, with a serious face, and even the tone of his speech became stiff, as if he was questioning Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin said: "Why are you asking this?" Where am I going, do I need to report back to you? But rest assured, I'm not going to do anything out of the ordinary! ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhuge Jin was reluctant to say, and felt more and more suspicious, usually Zhuge Jin was a frank gentleman in his heart, and he was honest and honest. It is upright and fair. will not avoid the powerful, let alone favoritism, and form parties for personal gain.

However, today Zhuge Liang saw Zhuge Jin coming out of Chen Qun's mansion, and several important ministers in the court also came out one after another, which made Zhuge Liang a little worried, so he hurriedly chased after him, afraid that Zhuge Jin would be implicated, so he came to ask what happened.

"It's not early, the morning will start in a while, so I won't talk to you here."

As soon as Zhuge Jin's voice fell, he turned around and was about to leave, but he was pulled back by Zhuge Liang.

"Big brother, if you don't tell the truth, don't want to leave here today!" Zhuge Liang's attitude became tougher, "Have you been staying in the mansion of Chen Qun, the head of the household department, last night?" ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to find out his whereabouts, and saw that Zhuge Liang's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he seemed to have not slept all night, and he just caught up with him here. In addition, Zhuge Liang continued to stay in Pengcheng as the Taishou of Liaodong, and he did not have a quota for the early dynasty, so it seemed that he was waiting for him here.

This couldn't help but make Zhuge Jin feel shocked, and hurriedly asked, "You actually follow me?" ”

"What am I stalking Big Brother for? I was ordered by the regent to come to the morning court today, and I happened to pass by the Chen Mansion, and I happened to see you walking out of the Chen Mansion, so I caught up and wanted to ask what happened. Zhuge Liang told him frankly.

Zhuge Jin frowned and asked again, "You...... What else do you see? ”

Zhuge Liang then told Zhuge Jin everything he saw, and asked solemnly: "Big brother, are you plotting something?" ”

Zhuge Jin defended: "What a conspiracy, it's so ugly. Yesterday was the birthday of Lord Chen, the head of the household, and we went to Chen's house to celebrate our birthday, but we drank a few more glasses and got drunk in Chen's house......"

"Nonsense! Big brother never drinks, how can he get drunk! Zhuge Liang whispered, "Big brother has never lied since he was a child, as long as he lies, he will be full of loopholes." Big brother, you and I are brothers, the closest people, what can't you tell me? Why do you have to get involved with those people? ”

Zhuge Jin also wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and he couldn't even tell a lie. Seeing that he could no longer prevaricate Zhuge Liang, he cleared his throat and said to Zhuge Liang solemnly: "Kong Ming, it's better for you to ask less about your brother's affairs." In short, I promise you that when the deed is done, you will also receive a great reward. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard Zhuge Jin say this, he felt more and more that Zhuge Jin had a problem, and in his mind, it seemed that Zhuge Jin and Chen Qun and others had collected black money together, and then they were about to obstruct the relocation of the capital. So, Zhuge Liang shouted loudly: "Big brother, you are so confused, what you are doing now is tantamount to playing with fire and self-immolation, tell you the truth, the regent has appointed me as the director of the relocation office, and I am fully responsible for the relocation of the capital, and if you unite with those ministers to fight against the regent, you are undoubtedly digging your own grave, because the regent's determination to move the capital is very strong, whether you agree or not, he will carry it out to the end......"

When Zhuge Jin heard Zhuge Liang say this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought that Zhuge Liang had discovered what they were plotting, but judging from the current situation, what Zhuge Liang was referring to was another thing, which was not related to each other at all.

"Kong Ming, although you can rest assured, Brother Wei will definitely not have anything to do with this matter, and besides, I am also one of the supporters of moving the capital, how can I fight against it?" Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jin's smiling face and asked suspiciously, "Really?" ”

Zhuge Jin nodded heavily and said, "Of course it's true, I can swear to the sky." ”

Zhuge Liang asked, "Then what are so many of you doing in the mansion of Hubu Shangshu?" ”

"Didn't I say it just now, yesterday was Chen Shangshu's birthday, and I went to celebrate, but it was too late, so I didn't go back, but stayed in Chen's mansion to rest, Chen Shangshu ...... Chen Shangshu found me a concubine, you must keep it a secret for me, you must not let your sister-in-law know, otherwise, with her temper, she really got into trouble with me, and I won't have any good fruit to eat......" Zhuge Jin thought about it, and still needed a reason to prevaricate Zhuge Liang, otherwise, he would not be able to fool him. But as soon as this reason was spoken, Zhuge Jin regretted it, he shouldn't use this question as an excuse, with Zhuge Liang's cleverness, he would definitely see through him.

However, what Zhuge Jin didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Big brother, don't worry, I promise to keep this matter secret for you, and I will never let my sister-in-law know." ”

Zhuge Jin saw that he had actually passed the test in a fool's way, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then smiled at Zhuge Liang embarrassedly.

"Big brother, it just so happens that I'm going to go to the morning dynasty too, why don't we go together, don't delay the time." Zhuge Liang said.

"Good!"

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin walked side by side to the imperial city, and went straight to the Yan Palace, but although Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin talked and laughed along the way, they had a lot of concerns about Zhuge Jin in their hearts. Because, Zhuge Liang saw through the lies that Zhuge Jin said, and Zhuge Jin lied twice, which proved that he didn't want Zhuge Liang to know what he was doing, and it would be in vain to ask further, but it was better to find the answer secretly.

Although the two brothers are moving forward in parallel, there are two thoughts in the hearts of the two people, Zhuge Jin has always been glad that he was almost discovered by Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had already seen through his lies, but he just didn't want to debunk it.

Zhuge Liang guessed: "There must be something wrong with so many courtiers gathering in the mansion of Chen Qun, the head of the household department, at the same time, and not returning all night?" ”

The early dynasty was held as usual, but this time there was one more person in the early dynasty than yesterday, and this person was Liaodong Taishou Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang has been kept by Zhang Yan since the southern expedition, but he has not been given any position, nor has he been transferred, until yesterday, Zhang Yan gave Zhuge Liang the title of director of the relocation office.

Zhang Yan did not delineate how much power the director of the relocation office has, but only let this office be responsible for all matters related to the relocation of the capital.

But then I thought about it, Zhuge Liang was alone in this relocation office, and it was impossible to get things done, so he transferred 3,000 people from the guards to Zhuge Liang's relocation office and returned to him.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also asked all the ministers of the DPRK and China to actively respond to the action of the relocation office, and if there was a situation of resistance to the law and disrespect, regardless of status, regardless of gender, they could be beheaded in public.

In addition, Zhang Yan transferred a group of capable scribes to Zhuge Liang to help Zhuge Liang with his work.

In other words, the relocation office is an institution directly responsible to Zhang Yan, and everything can be handled on a special basis, which undoubtedly announces an important message to the ministers that the relocation is inevitable and cannot be run away for a long time.

There were many topics in the early dynasties, but everyone didn't speak much, because these are basically internal matters, even if some people oppose it, as long as the internal audit is passed, then the issue will be passed, and it will become a holy decree and be released to the outside world.

Zhuge Liang stood aside, quietly listening to the words of Chao Shang, but his mind was not here, but thinking about one thing, what he saw this morning, should he sue the regent Zhang Yan? (To be continued......)
