"Is the prime minister such a person? I don't think Chen Xiang is such a person. The late emperor seems to have entrusted the prime minister to assist His Majesty!"

"It's hard to know the heart when you know the people. Didn't Cao Cao say that he wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and finally took the world of the Han Dynasty slowly?"

"You see, the prime minister is now Yizhou Mu and Wuxiang Marquis, and the army in command. At the beginning, Cao Cao was also Jizhou Mu. At the beginning, he was Marquis Fei Tinghou. Later, after he hijacked Emperor Han, he took control of the army and changed it to Wuping Marquis. How similar is this to the Prime Minister today!"

"It's better to believe it than to believe it!"

Now this matter is not only being discussed in the Chengdu area, but also in Bajun and Badong, the land of Bashu, and even the Nanzhong area.are often disseminated.

As the palace of Emperor Liu Chan of the Shu Han Dynasty, although Liu Chan is now the emperor, he does not have the right to be the real emperor, and now the entire power falls into the hands of Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan wanted to find an opportunity to take his rights back, but he knew that he could not take back his rights with his own strength now, and if he took it by force, he might end up very badly.

"Hey! When will I be able to truly grasp the power?" Liu Chan was sitting on his seat at this time, wearing a dragon robe, propping his head with his hands, and muttering to himself with a somewhat wistful expression.

Huang Hao on the side looked at Liu Chan's helpless look on the seat, and shook his head unwillingly. After all, as the emperor, the personal eunuch next to him had his own power proportional to the emperor's power.

Now, although Liu Chan is the emperor of the land of Bashu, he has too little power, which also leads to him not having much power as an eunuch. He can only bow down in this palace, carefully taking care of Liu Chan, the emperor of Shuhan in front of him. .

At this time, Huang Hao looked calmly at the eunuch who was fanning Liu Chan by the side, and then motioned to the eunuch calmly.

"Your Majesty, I seem to have heard some bad news recently." The eunuch who was fanning the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan also noticed Huang Hao's gaze standing at the door, so he said to Liu Chan in a low tone.

"If you have any bad news, just tell me and let me hear it." Liu Chan heard what the eunuch behind him was fanning himself with a fan, and looked at the eunuch beside him with strange eyes, and then said in a tone of voice. Some softly said to the eunuch in front of him.

"Recently, in the streets of Chengdu, there are rumors that the current prime minister wants to support himself and become emperor in Hanzhong." The little eunuch who was fanning the wind looked at Liu Chan who was looking at him curiously, and his tone was a little cautious. Said to Liu Chan.

Hearing this, Liu Chan's complexion suddenly became a little heavy. The hand that was holding his head was slowly removed from under his chin, and then he looked at the person in front of him who stopped the fan with a strange look. The little eunuch asked in a low voice to the little eunuch in front of him with some doubts.

"This matter has been spread throughout the streets and alleys, and the common people are talking about it in the streets. Almost everyone in the whole of Sichuan has already known about this matter!" At this time, the little eunuch looked at him with a serious expression. The Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan in front of him said to the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan with a trembling tone, and then carefully looked at Liu Chan.

When Liu Chan heard the news in front of him, his complexion suddenly became a little heavy, and then he looked at the little eunuch in front of him, and said calmly to the little eunuch in front of him: "What you say now is all Is it true that this news has spread throughout the Bashu region?"

"Everything you say is true, how dare you deceive His Majesty?" At this time, the eunuch looked at his emperor with a serious face and looked at himself, and suddenly felt a little panic in his heart, and hurriedly spoke cautiously to the emperor Liu Chan in front of him. replied.

At this time, Liu Chan lowered his head and thought about the current countermeasures. It is true that the power Zhuge Liang has now is so great that Liu Chan can't control Zhuge Liang in front of him. Who cares, whether this matter is true or not, if it is true , then you are in danger, if it is fake, you can take the opportunity to slowly regain all your strength.

"The person who came here immediately sent a draft decree, and immediately sent it to the military camp in Xiangxiang, telling the prime minister to return to Chengdu as soon as possible." After thinking again and again, Liu Chan decided to take this opportunity to suppress Zhuge Liang.So he ordered his eunuchs with a calm face, and said to them with a serious tone.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Soon the eunuch had drawn up a decree for Liu Chan and was about to send it to Zhuge Liang's camp in the north.

In Zhuge Liang's barracks, the current Zhuge Liang is sitting in the barracks with a serious expression on his face. Although Zhuge Liang is away on the Northern Expedition, he still has his confidantes in the middle of Sichuan. Zhuge Liang's face was about to explode with anger.

As the prime minister of Shu Han, he was leading his army to attack Wei, but he didn't expect the rear to be in chaos, and he spread rumors that he wanted to usurp power, which made Zhuge Liang very dissatisfied.

"I hope Your Majesty can understand the truth, and don't make this old man too difficult!" At this time, Zhuge Liang sat silently on the wheelchair, and then slowly walked out of the barracks under Jiang Wei's push and support, and silently moved himself Looking at a peaceful and serene sky, he said with some emotion in his tone.

Jiang Wei on the side heard what Zhuge Liang said, and sighed helplessly and followed Zhuge Liang silently.Then he hesitated for a while and said calmly to Zhuge Liang: "Now that our army has camped here for so long, we should also send troops to attack Chencang."

"Indeed, let the soldiers prepare a little bit. After tonight, we will lead our troops to attack Chen Cang tomorrow, and try to capture Chen Cang." Now Zhuge Liang is afraid that the time will change after a long time, so he agrees in a very heavy tone. After Jiang Wei's words.

But at this time, a soldier from outside came to Zhuge Liang in a panic, and then he hesitated a little while seeing Zhuge Liang sitting in a wheelchair shaking his feather fan gently, and said to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone : "Prime Minister, there are envoys from the emperor outside who want to meet the prime minister."

Hearing this news, Zhuge Liang's pupils constricted immediately, and then he looked at the soldier in front of him with a serious expression, and finally hesitated, and said in a helpless tone: "Since the emperor sent an envoy, you can bring him here Bar."

At this time, Jiang Wei, who was following Zhuge Liang, also looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise on his face. Seeing Zhuge Liang sitting silently in the wheelchair, he didn't say anything.

Not long after, I saw the soldiers with a heavy complexion leading an envoy in court uniform, and came to Zhuge Liang cautiously.

"Prime Minister!" Zhuge Liang looked at the envoy of the Son of Heaven who came before him, and suddenly showed a wry smile on his face. Naturally, it was none other than Jiao Zhou, the current courtier. Jiao Zhou looked at Zhuge Liang sitting in the wheelchair with a calm expression, slightly After hesitating for a while, he said to Zhuge Liang calmly.

"It turned out to be you! I don't know what purpose His Majesty sent you to convey to me this time?" Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand, then looked straight at the other party, and finally said a little He asked Jiao Zhou in a low voice.

"Prime Minister, there are too many gossips and rumors about the Prime Minister in Bashu. The Prime Minister should see His Majesty's will!" Jiao Zhou looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes and stared at him, and he felt very uncomfortable. So he reluctantly took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, handed it directly to Zhuge Liang in front of him, and said to Zhuge Liang in a helpless tone.

Zhuge Liang took the imperial decree in front of him, and then carefully opened the imperial decree. Looking at the contents of the imperial decree, Zhuge Liang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and finally closed the imperial decree tightly with a bit of anger on his face.

"Now is the critical moment of the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty, this is tantamount to self-destructing the Great Wall!" Zhuge Liang looked at the sky helplessly at this time, and finally let out a voice of emotion.

9 Chapter Fifty

Zhuge Liang finally left the Guanzhong area with his soldiers sullenly, and returned to Chengdu, the capital of the Shu Han.

As soon as Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he quickly went to the palace of the Shu Kingdom to meet the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan, and wanted to discuss with him why he came back all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister has already arrived outside the palace, and will soon enter the palace." Huang Hao ran into the study very excitedly. He had been informed by his subordinates that Zhuge Liang had returned to Chengdu and wanted to meet Liu Chan, so Immediately prepared to report the matter to Liu Chan, looking at the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan who was reading a book in front of him, he said to Liu Chan in a somewhat excited tone.

When Liu Chan got the news, he became a little flustered. He quickly put away the map he had placed on the table, and then changed to a more easy-to-understand book, and began to read the contents of the book.

Soon Zhuge Liang pushed open the door of the study, looked at the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan who was reading a book, and walked in front of Liu Chan silently.

"Sir, Zhuge Liang pays homage to His Majesty." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan who was still flipping through the books with a calm expression. The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched a few times, and then he saluted Liu Chan respectfully and said in a calm tone.

"Prime Minister, you're back! That's great." Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang staring at him, and suddenly a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pretended to be calm and said to Zhuge Liang in front of him.

Zhuge Liang looked calmly at Liu Chan's calm face in front of him, suddenly his complexion was a little uneasy, he hesitated a little, and asked Liu Chan in a heavy tone: "I am now leading the soldiers under my command. The front line is fighting bloody battles, and the Guanzhong area is about to be recovered, why did His Majesty send someone to send me back?"

"Now that the prime minister is leading the army to fight hard, I feel sorry for the prime minister. Besides, there is not much food in Sichuan due to successive years of fighting. It is better to rest for a while and go to the northern expedition to the Central Plains someday." Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, his eyes were a little bit Staring at himself unkindly, he suddenly showed a wry smile, and then replied to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, now that I am about to regain Chang'an, because of His Majesty's decree, I was forced to lead my soldiers back to Chengdu. All the achievements of the past have been forfeited. Does Your Majesty distrust the old minister? Where did you hear about it? Gossip and gossip from my ministers." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan in front of him, looking a little dodgy, and questioned Liu Chan in front of him with a gloomy tone.

"This... this..." Seeing Zhuge Liang's strong appearance in front of him, Liu Chan suddenly became speechless, and then fixed his eyes on Zhuge Liang in front of him, not knowing how to answer Zhuge Liang's question.

"Prime Minister, of course I trust you, but I did this for the benefit of the Prime Minister. Now the Prime Minister's rumors are everywhere, and now that the Prime Minister is back, it's just time to break these rumors!" Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him and finally hesitated for a long time. With a calm expression, he raised his head, and said to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm leaving for the time being!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan, who was calm in front of him, and felt a little displeased when he saw him perfunctory himself. Finally, he said to Liu Chan in front of him with a heavy tone, and walked towards the palace with heavy steps. go outside.

"Hey!" Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang's receding back, and finally turned his eyes to Huang Hao who was at the side helplessly, and sighed silently.

For his own power, although Liu Chan felt pity for Zhuge Liang, he would never regret it. After all, power should be firmly in his own hands.

As for the Guanzhong area, Cao Zhen, the current guard in Guanzhong, got the news that Zhuge Liang's army had retreated. After confirming that Zhuge Liang had returned to Hanzhong, he immediately led his soldiers to pacify Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding, and captured the original Shu kingdom. The area was once again taken back.

It can be said that this time Zhuge Liang sent troops to crusade against Wei State. In addition to eliminating Xia Houmao and the army of Wei State, he gained a few talents from Wei State. Now all the credits have been taken by Wei State again.

As the emperor Cao Rui received the news that the general Cao Zhen had conquered the lost land and the news that the Shu Han had retreated, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

So Cao Zhen was granted the title of Great General to Great Sima, and Cao Zhen's three sons were all named Guan Nei Hou, and for a while, Cao Zhen's family became one of the best big families in the Cao Wei regime.

As for Bai Ren who made the plan, Cao Rui chose to forget Bai Ren's contribution in the end. After all, Bai Ren is now an official lieutenant and part-time tutor, and his status basically belongs to No.1 in the entire court. It is impossible for Cao Rui to give Bai Ren Ren has too many honors and titles.

"Father, it's all thanks to my father that he can recover the lost land now, and this majesty is so unreasonable that he didn't give anything to father." In Bai Ren's mansion, Bai Ren and his two sons were sitting in the mansion In the back garden among them, Bai Ren's second son Bai Lang said with a somewhat angry expression.

Hearing these words, Bai Ren looked at the sky with a calm expression, with a faint smile on his mouth, and sat silently by the side.

Bai Ji chuckled, looking at the angry second brother in front of him, he knew that his second brother was a very capable person, but his mind was too pure.

"Now my father is under one person and above ten thousand people. If he is sealed again, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be willing!" Bai Ji gently straightened his hair, looking at his father sitting beside him like a fox. Said to his elder brother calmly.
