[Thanks: Book friend Hong Huang Xiaoyao Emperor rewarded support, thank you!] 】
――――――――――――
Weak willows support the wind, and the grass is green...... It is the season of returning to the earth in spring, and Nanyang County is a vibrant scene.
Wancheng is still prosperous, people come and go on the street, shops are lined up, caravans in the inn are endless, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is carried out in an orderly and orderly manner.
Two years ago, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of officials came to Wancheng and attracted the army of the princes of the Seven Routes. More than 200,000 princes' soldiers and horses, plus Jingzhou Liu Biao's 100,000 troops, the whole more than 300,000 troops gathered inside and outside Wancheng, in just one month, the people of Wancheng were restless, and thousands of young women were innocently killed and taken away by the princes' army. As a result, after the army of the princes withdrew from Wancheng, the city was in a mess inside and outside, and thousands of people in the city moved to the territory of Sili with their families, and the radius outside the city was deserted for dozens of miles.
Zhuge Xuan, who was the Taishou of Nanyang at the time, was heartbroken by this, his eyes were soaked in blood, and he even had the heart to die, and he couldn't wait to die. Fortunately, Liu Biao of Jingzhou left some grain and grass when he left, and encouraged him greatly, and the people in the city were extremely supportive of him and believed in him, prompting him to calm down again, determined to benefit one party for the first term of office, otherwise he would not be blind to death.
Hard work pays off, and there is a reward for paying.
After a lapse of two years, Wancheng regained its former prosperity, the people in the city returned to 6,000 households, shops were reopened, caravans were increasing day by day, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The imperial hometown of Wancheng is once again rejuvenated and full of vitality.
When Wancheng came back to life, Zhuge Xuan, who was nearly seventy years old, came to the end of his life. The lamp is dry and dying. For the past two years, he has been working hard to support, lying on the sickbed for more than two months every winter, and waiting for the next spring when the flowers bloom, and then supporting the sick body to run the county's government affairs. Day after day, year after year. He fell ill again last winter. I thought that after the arrival of spring, I would be able to get up again, continue to preside over Nanyang government affairs, and persuade farmers to teach agriculture. Govern the county. Unexpectedly, less than a month and a half after he got up from the sickbed after the beginning of spring, he fainted in the lobby of the government office at noon five days ago, and immediately fell ill. Life is in danger.
survived two cold winters. Just after the third winter, Zhuge Xuan fell ill again, and this time he really couldn't survive. He was in a coma for three days, and it wasn't until the fourth day that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang rushed back when they heard the news, and he opened his eyes leisurely, but he was still sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and he was in danger.
At noon on the fifth day, Zhuge Xuan came to his senses again. This time he was really sober. Radiant and energetic. Struggling to sit on the couch, he called Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers to the bed, muttered a lot about the past, and laughed from time to time. The Zhuge Jin brothers in front of the sickbed sat on the edge of the bed and listened, echoing from time to time, forcing a smile; But the two of them were extremely sad in their hearts, tears were rolling in their eyes, but they couldn't hold back the tears from falling, for fear of being noticed by their uncle, and couldn't bear to interrupt his Yaxing.
Many years ago, when the father of Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang died of illness, it was also the same situation at this moment. That day, their father suddenly got better, and the family sat down to eat together at noon, and in the afternoon their father was gone. A scene from many years ago is still in front of me, and Zhuge Xuan is like this at this moment, how can their brothers not be sad, how can they not shed tears?
In the past ten years, Zhuge Xuan and their brothers and sisters have been displaced from Langya County to live under Liu Biao's account in Jingzhou, where they have suffered a lot of white eyes and bullying. And this qiē was all Zhuge Xuan in front, and the livelihood of the whole family fell on his shoulders, but at that time he was already a man of the near sixtieth birthday, and he was dying.
In the family of scholars, the old people of such an age are enjoying the blessings of peace, and the children are enjoying the joy of their old age. But Zhuge Xuan does not have this blessing, he is still responsible for the livelihood of the two families, and is the only pillar of the family, to support the four children under his brother's knees, create better conditions for them, raise them as adults, and start a family.
It is precisely with the hope of the whole family that Zhuge Xuannian is still seeking a way to become a leader, and he reluctantly asks Liu Biao to recommend him again and again. Among them, although Zhuge Xuan was silent and did not mention a word, the five Zhuge Jin brothers and sisters saw everything in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and they could not forget it for the rest of their lives, and they had already regarded their uncle Zhuge Xuan as their biological father in their hearts.
Because of this, when Zhuge Liang met Li Li two years ago, he could actually follow him and leave, but he adhered to the ancient precept of filial piety that "parents are not far away", and insisted on staying in Nanyang County and staying by Zhuge Xuan's side to fulfill his filial piety. Even when he traveled to Jiangdong and Jingnan, he would regularly send back letters to report his safety, so that Zhuge Xuan would not worry about it.
Last autumn, Li Li held a wedding for Zhuge Liang in the Luoyang County Shoufu before leading the army. Although there were not many people attending the wedding, only more than a dozen senior generals of the Xiliang Army were qualified to attend, but the wedding was particularly grand. Zhuge Xuan went to Luoyang in person, all the members of the Zhuge family were present, Li Li personally presided over the wedding, Mi Zhu and Zhuge Xuan were on the throne, witnessing the union of a couple. Kong Ming's newlywed wife Mi is two years older than him, but she is beautiful and pure, which makes Zhuge Xuan very satisfied, and he repeatedly thanked Li Liyucheng for this marriage, and his gratitude is beyond words. And Kong Ming is also very fond of Mi Huan, and Mi Huan fell in love with him at first sight, so a couple who is in love with concubines is really envious of others. After marriage, Zhuge Liang only lived in Luoyang for three days, and then returned to Wancheng with Mihuan and Zhuge Xuan; At that time, if Zhuge Ling was not pregnant, I am afraid that she would have to go to Wancheng to take care of Zhuge Xuan for a period of time, after all, every winter is a disaster for Zhuge Xuan.
spent a winter in fear, and when Zhuge Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect that the farewell of the last year turned out to be a permanent secret. Now Zhuge Xuan is sick again
In front of the sickbed, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang sat on the edge of the bed and talked with Zhuge Xuan. In the inner hall outside the bedroom, Zhuge Hui, Mi Huan and the younger brother Zhuge were sitting in the hall, and Zhuge was anxious. Fidgeting, from time to time to walk out of the closed door and look through the crack in the door to the bedroom. Zhuge Hui had the heart to go forward to check, but it was inconvenient for his body. I also have to take care of my second sister-in-law, Mihuan, for fear that she will be a little careless like herself.
Indeed, Zhuge Hui and Mi Huan's two daughters are both pregnant now, and they should not be excited, so they were blocked by Zhuge Jin and Kong Ming brothers, and left their younger brother Zhuge to take care of them and not let them move. Mihuan's pregnancy is naturally the result of Kong Ming's hard work. After getting married, the two of them were in love with each other, like glue, and worked hard for a winter, and finally took root. Now. Mihuan has been pregnant for three months, and her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, and she is beginning to show her pregnancy, which is also the most dangerous period of time. If you are not careful, you will get the tire gas.
And Zhuge Hui was secretly married to Chen Zhizhu, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, in the middle of summer last year. Immediately, under the operation of Zhuge Xuan, the two quickly got married. When Chen Zhi took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Longzhong to protect Kong Ming, Li Li saw that Zhuge Hui and Chen Zhi were secretly in love, and they often raised eyebrows, which was very hot. So Li Li became an adult, agreed to Chen Zhi's invitation, and privately signaled Kong Ming to ask him to facilitate this family business. Unexpectedly. Chen Zhi is not ambiguous, perhaps he has been following Li Li for some years. finally got the hang of it, and even took Zhuge Hui in advance and cooked the raw rice.
Indeed, there is a master and a servant. Li Li first cut and then played Zhuge Ling, so that Zhuge Ling couldn't get out of bed for three days; And Chen Zhi saw the same thing, and made Zhuge Hui's belly bigger before he got married. For this reason, Kong Ming was so angry that he reprimanded Chen Zhi fiercely, and then made Zhuge Xuan clear and tried his best to promote the good things of the two.
When Zhuge Xuan learned that his niece Zhuge Hui was pregnant, it was natural to become a natural and firing marriage, making Chen Zhi and Zhuge Hui finally achieve a positive result.
At present, Zhuge Hui is six months pregnant, sitting in the hall with a big belly, not daring to move. And her husband Chen Zhi had just come here, and after being called by Kong Ming to whisper outside the door, Chen Zhi told Zhuge Hui a few words, and left in a hurry.
In the bedroom, Zhuge Xuan talked a lot of words, while the Zhuge Jin brothers nodded in agreement, and secretly turned their heads to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Suddenly, Zhuge Xuan's voice paused, and he sighed softly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are caused by the number of days, and it is really not something that human beings can change. Sage Yun: Fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, his father is already a man of old age, and he has long put life and death aside. Therefore, you brothers need not be sad, seventy years are rare, and you have been blessed by heaven and satisfied with living for your father at this age. The most important thing is to be able to watch your brothers and sisters grow up, start a family, and have fulfilled your father's wishes, and die without regrets. After speaking, Zhuge Xuan had a kind and relieved smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang.
"Father (uncle)" Zhuge Jin burst into tears before speaking, choked up and couldn't speak, and all the words in his heart were in the two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes. Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to him, also had red eyes, and crystal tears swirled in his pupils, but he forcibly held back and didn't let the tears slip out.
Seeing that the two nephews were so filial, Zhuge Xuan was relieved, raised his arm and patted Zhuge Jin's arm with difficulty, and then grabbed Zhuge Liang's left hand and never let go. After calming down, he looked at Zhuge Jin kindly, and said softly: "When Liu Jingsheng invited you to come out, the reason why his father blocked him was because his father knew Liu Biao's temperament. His life is suspicious, he loves talents but can't make the best use of his talents, likes to recruit young talents but can't entrust them with important tasks, and has the name of loving and cherishing talents but there is no reality. In the final analysis, he is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and it is not worth my son to go to him.
On the contrary, the great general Li Li sent a letter to his father, asking you to serve under his command. Of course, there is Kong Ming's recommendation in this, but also because his father is very optimistic about this young and promising general, you will not be wrong to follow him, and you will definitely do something in the future. “
Speaking of this, Zhuge Xuan changed his words and said to Kong Ming: "The general is extremely important to you, and he is willing to marry you as a brother with a different surname. This section alone will save you many detours, and your future achievements will definitely be above Ziyu, and the future is limitless. However, the generals have a large number of capable people and a large number of wise men, Kong Ming must also guard against arrogance and rashness, and must not be arrogant and arrogant, and make enemies to the bureaucrats, otherwise he will suffer sooner or later. Remember, remember! ”
Zhuge Liang nodded happily and said respectfully: "What my father said is very true, and the child must remember it in his heart, and he will not dare or forget it for the rest of his life." ”
"That's fine, and I'm relieved to be a father." Zhuge frowned and smiled, and said with a feeling: "Now that the Han Emperor has died, the world is completely chaotic, and the battles and battles of the princes of various towns are bound to intensify in the future." It's good in this way, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and it will be ruled after the chaos. Since ancient times, dynasties have changed. ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he praised sincerely: "Father's high theory, in one sentence." It is difficult for a child to look at his father's back, and he admires it so much! ”
Zhuge Xuan shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I preached and taught (teaching and educating people) for my father in the first half of my life, and in the second half of my life, I was used to seeing the vicissitudes of the world, and I tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. This insight is still there, and it is not enough. In all fairness, a dragon among people like Xiliang Li Wenchang is only seen in his life, and he is still better than Kong Ming. Therefore, in the future, my son still needs to be loyal and assisted, and must not be negligent and slack, knowing that the changes of the dragon are unpredictable, fickle, and do not allow the slightest carelessness. ”
While relieving his breath, Zhuge Xuan's expression changed slightly, and his voice stopped suddenly, so that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang were nervous, and they looked at him nervously, lest he miss something. Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan's tone paused for a while, and the expression on his face returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "Shu Zhi (Chen Zhi) has not arrived today, so he must have been sent by Kong Ming to take over the city, right?" ”
"Father Mingjian, this is indeed the case." Zhuge Liang replied.
Zhuge Xuan shook his jaw lightly and muttered, "That's fine." worked hard for his father to govern Nanyang, and now he has finally achieved some results. Rather than falling into the hands of Liu Biao and being devastated by the war, it is better to hand it over to Li Wenchang as soon as possible, so as to protect the people of Nanyang from the suffering of the war. And this is exactly what the father admires most about him, so far no prince has been able to snatch the city from him, which is very rare in troubled times. Wancheng handed it over to him, reassuring his father. ”
Half an hour later, Nanyang Taishou Zhuge Xuan passed away and died with a smile at the age of seventy. In the afternoon of the same day, Bocai led an army of 50,000 to raid Nanyang County, and entered Wancheng the next day. In just three days, Nanyang County changed hands and was officially incorporated into Li Li's rule, and then Zhuge Jin inherited the position of his father Zhuge Xuan and succeeded Nanyang Taishou.
Just half a month after the Xiliang army took over Nanyang County, Zhuge Xuan was buried, and then the group drove slowly out of the north gate and went straight to Sili.
