Chapter 511: The Wind Direction Has Changed (Plus Change, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
The sage said, self-cultivation and family rule the country and level the world. But that is a requirement for men, for women, the world is too big, the country is also space, only home and body are the most realistic. As a housewife in the family, you have to think about the family, and as a woman who is the head of the family, you have to worry about your position. As for the country and the world, it's up to men to worry about it.
The thing that Mrs. Xiahou worries about the most is her three children, that is, the future of the Zhang family.
After years of rectification by Zhuge Liang, the Jingxiang family has become the largest interest group in the Shu Han Dynasty, and everyone else basically stands aside. The Yuancong system has long declined, the Dongzhou system has also been hit so hard that it can't raise its head, and the Bashu department can't see any hope of coming out, if you want to keep your wealth, you can only rely on the Jingxiang system.
That's what Mrs. Xiahou did, when the Guan family and the Ma family were secretly supporting Wei Ba, she kept moving, just because she didn't want to anger Zhuge Liang. She is very aware of Zhuge Liang's methods, and it is never a wise choice to go against Zhuge Liang. Unlike the Guan family, the Zhang family has Queen Zhang in the palace, and the honor is undiminished, so there is no need to fight for their lives like the Guan family.
However, Xiahou Hui's words hit her to the core. The prime minister is old, and his health is not good, it is difficult to say how many years he can live, Ma Tan is most likely to take over the position of prime minister, and Zhuge Liang relies on the Jingxiang family, and he is not the Jingxiang family, Ma Jian is a famous family of the Jingxiang family, he leads the Jingxiang family in the name of righteousness, no one can challenge his status, and he does not need to win over others to be a foil. The role of the Zhang family in Zhuge Liang has no meaning in Ma Yan. Ma Tan and the Zhang family also have no dealings, which is proof.
Besides. There is an even bigger problem: the queen has no children. Once Ma Tan is in power, it is entirely possible that he will use this reason to depose the queen and re-establish a woman from the Jingxiang family as the queen, and at that time, what will the Zhang family have to rely on?
Emperor Liu Chan? Forget it, that thing is a puppet, not to mention that he and the queen have no relationship at all.
The last time he rejected Xiahou Hui, it was because no one could see that Wei Ba had any hope of success, and Wuxi was obviously a trap. Now Wei Ba has achieved great success and is expected to seize Wuling. Father, son and brother have become heavy generals with heavy troops. Is it too conservative for her to reject Xiahou Hui again? As Xiahou Hui said, nothing can be foolproof, and there is no risk at all. Only the opportunity will be lost. Wei Feng is about to get married. The daughter of the Xi family will enter the Wei family. Guan Feng will marry Wei Ba as his wife, and Xiahou Hui is pregnant again, and his unique position in the Wei family will soon be gone. If you refuse Xiahou Hui at this time, you may not have a chance in the future.
"Yuanrong, are you confident?"
"Of course I'm confident." Xiahou Huiwan smiled: "My confidence in him is more than anyone else's. ”
……
"What?" Liu Chan jumped up with incredible agility, his two small eyes widened, and every piece of flesh on his round face shook. "You mean...... Is it possible for my mother to come to Chengdu? ”
"Yes, yes." Empress Zhang pressed Liu Chan back with a smile and told her what had happened. "Even if my mother is coming to Chengdu, don't be so excited, not to mention that there is no conclusion yet, although Wei Shizhong has made a request, Sun Quan has not yet agreed, and some variables are uncertain."
"Oh." Liu Chan blinked, as if he realized the difficulty, but he was still excited. He rolled his eyes: "Or...... I gave Wei Ba a secret decree, if Sun Quan did not agree, he would kill all Pan Jun and those people. ”
"In my opinion, as long as the prime minister doesn't object, even if Bixia doesn't make a secret decree, Wei Shizhong will do it." Empress Zhang said with a smile: "In order to force Lu Xun to agree to this condition, Wei Shizhong took the risk of attacking Chenyang and burned all of Lu Xun's grain stockpiles, which forced Lu Xun and Pan Jun to be cornered and promised to ask Sun Quan for instructions." ”
"Hee-hee, Wei Ba is a loyal minister, I like him." Liu Chan danced and said: "There are so many people, he still remembers my thoughts. ”
"Wei Shizhong is a loyal minister, but it is difficult to be a loyal minister."
"What do you say, who wants to be against him?" Liu Chan was startled and lowered his voice: "Is it the prime minister?" ”
Empress Zhang glanced at him: "You just think about the prime minister like that?" ”
Liu Chan laughed twice and didn't say anything more. He is very aware of the relationship between the Zhang family and Zhuge Liang, and it is not appropriate to say that the prime minister is not good in front of Queen Zhang. Seeing Liu Chan's expression, Empress Zhang immediately knew that she was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Bixia, have you ever thought about where your mother lives if she comes to Chengdu?" ”
"Of course I live in the palace." Liu Chan said disapprerovingly: "I want to arrange the most haode palace for her, so that she can stay with me." ”
"What about the Queen Mother?"
"Too ...... Dowager? Liu Chan then remembered that there was already a queen mother in the palace. He scratched his head in embarrassment: "This thing...... It's really a bit difficult, Queen Mother...... I don't think I'll object to it. ”
"Will the Queen Mother object, how can the concubines know, this has to be asked by Bixia to the Queen Mother." Empress Zhang smiled: "However, the Queen Mother knows the affection between Bixia and her mother, so she must not obstruct it too much." It's just that Bixia also has to understand the difficulties of the Queen Mother, and she has to arrange it first. ”
"Well, Queen, you're right, you really have to prepare for this matter." Liu Chan thought so and excitedly discussed it with Empress Zhang. To tell the truth, although he has enthusiasm, he doesn't have many means, and the same is true for Empress Zhang, fortunately, Xiahou Hui prepared a plan for her before, and now when he takes it out, Liu Chan immediately glanced at Empress Zhang.
Under the remote control of Xiahou Hui, Liu Chan deliberately got close to the Empress Dowager Wu, and found an opportunity to tell the Empress Dowager Wu about it. There was no interest to fight for in the palace, and it was rare for Emperor Bixia to come to discuss so seriously, and Empress Dowager Wu was relieved without embarrassment. Seeing the Empress Dowager Wu nodding, Liu Chan was very happy, and accompanied the Empress Dowager Wu to talk affectionately for a while, which made the Empress Dowager Wu so happy that she even looked at Empress Zhang.
After taking care of the affairs in the palace, Liu Chan waited for Prime Minister Zhuge to ask for a decree. He didn't dare to take the initiative to ask Zhuge Liang, in front of his father, he didn't even dare to bare his teeth, so he could only wait patiently.
However, although Liu Chan did not take the initiative to ask Zhuge Liang, the result he wanted reached Zhuge Liang's ears through Dong Yun's mouth. After listening to Dong Yun's relay, Zhuge Liang was silent, but his face was very calm, which made Dong Yun a little uneasy, I don't know if it was too late, the prime minister had already learned the news through other channels. If that's the case, then he's remiss in his duties.
Who could it be? Xiang Lang, or Guo Youzhi?
"Weigong, what do you think?" Without waiting for Dong Yun to guess the answer, Zhuge Liang broke the silence and took the lead in asking Changshi Yang Yi a question.
Yang Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister, I think it's inappropriate." ”
"Tell me your reasoning." Zhuge Liang waved his hand, signaling Yang Yi to relax. After Ma Tan went to Guanzhong, Yang Yi re-appointed as prime minister, with the last experience, Yang Yi is now much more cautious, and this matter involves Wei Ba's father and son, he has to be more careful, so as not to be considered by Zhuge Liang as a personal vendetta and hinder the public with selfishness. As soon as there are concerns, it is inevitable to be a little restrained, and this restraint falls in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, but it is a symbol of character convergence. It was Zhuge Liang who was not as strict as usual, but let Yang Yi relax a little.
"Whoa." Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang gratefully: "Prime Minister, I foolishly think that in this war, Sun Quan has suffered heavy losses and can no longer threaten us, and the purpose of teaching him a lesson has been achieved, and it is time to pacify." At this time, forcing Sun Quan to send Mrs. Sun back was undoubtedly a humiliation for him. Whether Sun Quan refuses now, not because of the situation, accept it for the time being, and try to retaliate in the future, it is not a good thing for us. It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, our enemy is the Wei State, and it is really irrational to make a feud with Sun Quan at this time. ”
Zhuge Liang bowed his head slightly and looked at Yang Yi encouragingly. Yang Yi's heart was hot, and he continued: "And Wei Ba's move also has bad intentions. He's trying to curry favor with some people and try to win them over......"
As soon as Yang Yi opened his mouth, he found that there was a disapproving smile on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth, and he hurriedly stopped the conversation.
"You're right." Zhuge Liang put away his smile and said lightly: "Wei Ba did use this matter to win over Feng Jin and Zhang Wei, this is not an uncommon thing, from the time I clashed with Pan Jun when I was in Fangling, I saw this sign, and now it is just a matter of becoming a profit." But have you ever considered that Weishenme Feng Jin, Zhang Wei and others will support him? They didn't have much to do with before. ”
Yang Yi frowned.
"Because you have always felt that they are warriors, and you refuse to condescend to the noble and look down on them." Zhuge Liang became stern, "They are all Jingxiang people, but they can't help each other in the same boat, and now they have been exploited by Wei Ba, not so much because of Wei Ba's cleverness, but because of our mistakes." Wei Gong, do you think I'm right? ”
"What the prime minister said is very true." Yang Yi replied instinctively.
Zhuge Liang asked, "Then how should we deal with it?" Is it to forcibly suppress Wei Ba, or to establish a good relationship with Feng Jin, Zhang Nan and others, and win them over? ”
Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang in amazement, and he was not mentally prepared at all for Zhuge Liang to say these words. Take the initiative to have a good relationship with those warriors? This has never happened before, but the martial artists took the initiative to get close, and they were unwilling to deal with it. Who is suppressing these warriors? After all, aren't you the prime minister, why did you suddenly drop one now?
"Don't forget, Wei Ba is also from Jingxiang, and he is still a fellow villager with Wei Du (Hu Ji) and Gong Xi (Dong Ju). Gu Youlin is like a person who attaches great importance to state affairs, and has a lot of tolerance for martial artists, so that civil and military can help each other. Now that we want to revive the Han industry with a state, should we also open our minds and seek common ground while reserving differences? If the father and son of the Wei family, who are from Jingxiang, can't tolerate it, and what can they talk about an alliance with the Wu people, is Sun Quanjun and his ministers closer than the father and son of the Wei family? ”
Yang Yi was dumbfounded, he looked at Jiang Wan, but found that Jiang Wan was indifferent, as if he had expected it. He couldn't help but secretly regret it, he knew that this was the case, he should have talked to Jiang Wan in advance, and now he wouldn't be so passive. Prime Minister This won't be deliberately embarrassing me, he wants to remove me again and let Jiang Wan make a long history, right?
Dong Yun's brows were slightly locked, and a trace of panic and doubt flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
