Laugh out loud.One is the prime minister, the other is the servant, who knows that the brothers closed the door and bickered like children.After the two laughed, Zhuge Liang sighed: "You and I are about to part, playing this "Tang Di" will not add to the sadness."

Ma Liang shook his head: "Brother Zun had a nightmare? Let's hear it. People say that nightmares won't work if you tell them."

"Where is that dream?" Zhuge Liang sighed, "It's just about the fairy Li Yiqi a month ago..."

Ma Liang said with a smile: "The Prime Minister also believes in the fairy tales."

Legend has it that the immortal Li Yiqi was a native of Shu during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.I don't know if it's true or not.Liu Bei wanted to attack Wu a few months ago, so he sent people to greet Li Yiqi, pay respects to him, and ask about the good or bad of sending troops.Li Yiqi didn't answer, but asked for a pen and paper, and drew dozens of papers of soldiers, horses, weapons and battles.Liu Bei was very unhappy seeing this.Later, Qin Mi found out about this, and said that Li Yiqi's paintings of soldiers and horses and battles were broken with his hands, which meant defeat in battle.It is His Majesty's death wish to bury Mr. Hua.No matter how lenient Liu Bei was, he was furious when he heard this, and ordered Qin Mi to execute Cao Ling himself.Afterwards, Qin Mi was sent to prison and locked up, Zhuge Liang secretly told Tingwei not to neglect Qin Xueshi.Only wait for Liu Bei to appease his anger before releasing him.

But seeing Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, he shook his head: "The country will prosper, listen to the people. The country will perish, listen to the gods. The words of the gods are safe and trustworthy... But I am a big man who has lost his filial piety and lost his filial piety. I still feel a little worried... "

Ma Liang shook his head: "Those rising stars are not bad. This time may be their opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Qin Xueshi is a Confucian scholar who is superstitious about ghosts and gods. He is really too bold..."

Zhuge Liang rubbed his forehead, smiled for a moment and said, "Anyway, I'm drowsy, why don't I go for a walk to refresh myself...Ah Liang," he frowned, "Let's go see Bachelor Qin secretly."

"..." Ma Liang stared at him speechlessly for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back: "Brother Zun doesn't have to go 'secretly'. You can be aboveboard and show off. Let's see if the palace will punish you or not."

"Nonsense." Zhuge Liang smiled, and took his hand: "Just the two of us, take a small car through the back door. Hurry up."

Is this the time when I was playing and being naughty in the countryside when I was a teenager?Ma Liang couldn't help laughing, and Zhuge Liang led them straight to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

***

The Thirteen Caos of the Han Dynasty were directly under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.Used by Xi Cao Chairman History Department.The two thousand chief officials of Eastern Cao and the military officials were removed.The head of household Cao offered sacrifices to Nongsang.Play Cao to manage all the government memorials.Ci Cao Zhu civil litigation.Fa Cao is in charge of the Post Office Division.Wei Cao's master died Cao Zhuanyun.Thief Cao palms thieves.Judgment of Cao's main crime law.Bing Cao manages military service.Jin Cao manages the currency, salt and iron.Cangcao manages the canggu.The master of Huangge recorded all the affairs.This means that the internal affairs are completely under the control of the prime minister.The power of the prime minister reached its peak in the Western Han Dynasty.

And Liu Bei's prime minister is even more so.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from Jue Cao Tianlao, just a short drive away.Zhuge Liang led Ma Liang all the way to the prison without hindrance.Zhuge Liang also ordered not to disturb the Tingwei, so startled that the little officials flew to report to the warden.For a while, the warden rushed out to greet Zhuge Liang, and when he saw Zhuge Liang, he bowed in salute, with a look of admiration.You must know that Xiao He was also the warden of Pei County back then.Now it was the first time for him to see the prime minister at such a close distance, and he couldn't help but sigh that Prime Minister Zhuge was so young, majestic and dignified, with a celestial appearance.Ma Shizhong is also comely and gentle, making people look like a spring breeze.

Zhuge Liang asked about Qin Mi's situation.The warden hurriedly said: "Scholar Qin meditates every day, eats and sleeps as usual, and the lower officials dare not neglect." While talking, he led Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang to the place where Qin Mi was imprisoned.

Entering the depths of the dungeon, Qin Mi was alone in a room, reading a book by a candle.Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, he turned around and saw that it was Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Prime Minister!"

Zhuge Liang went straight into the prison, followed by Ma Liang.Qin Mi stood up and saluted, Zhuge Liang supported him, and asked him with a smile how his diet and daily life were.Qin Mi said ashamedly: "Everything is fine with Mi, the jailer has never treated him badly, the prime minister must have specially instructed him to do so. Here, Mi thanked the prime minister for his kindness..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Your Majesty has not seized your official position, which shows that you are not really angry, but I hope you have calmed down and thought about it. It is a blessing for the country to have such an admonishing minister. How can you let the jailer humiliate the bachelor?"

Qin Mi repeatedly said that she was ashamed.But I saw Zhuge Liang walking towards the corner, leaning over to pick up a few cases to write on the scrolls: "Scholars are still studying in prison, which can be a model for Confucianism."

Qin Mi shook her head: "It's boring in prison, just take a look."

"Sage classics, how can you do whatever you want?" Zhuge Liang laughed, turning the pages of the book casually: "The Master said: To govern with virtue, it is like Beichen, who lives in its place and is surrounded by stars. Your Majesty's benevolent monarch is not affected by the sky and the time." , just like Beichen has never changed. If a bachelor reads this sentence, can he be in prison today?"

Qin Mi laughed: "The prime minister made fun of me as soon as he came. Mi just read this sentence and felt ashamed. No wonder your majesty and the prime minister don't believe in the destiny."

At this time, the warden had brought the cushions, and Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, and Qin Mi sat down on their knees in the prison.Qin Mi smiled and said, "Why did the prime minister condescend to come to this prison? If you want to interrogate yourself, just call Mi to go..."

"Liang is here, do you really want to interrogate you?" Zhuge Liang shook his head, then smiled: "But I want to hear, the scholar thinks about his mistakes, how is he thinking?"

Qin Mi was silent for a moment, bowing in salute: "Mi still doesn't understand. Your Majesty ignores the time to conquer the east with his own selfish anger, how can he ignore the people? The sage says that the people are precious and the king is light. Mi only wishes that your majesty and the prime minister will Think about it."

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty's eastward expedition is necessary. If we don't take back the four counties in southern Jing, our country of Han will be weak and weak, and we will have no way to resist Cao Wei in the north."

He paused for a moment and continued: "According to what Mencius taught, it is true that a ruler should always think of the people as the foundation, and the people are more important than the ruler. However, as a subject, one must regard the king as the most valuable. Respect, loyalty and filial piety exist. If there is no Your Majesty, how can today's scholars return to their hearts, and for a time, the middle of Shu will be governed, the people will be happy, the old will be safe, the young will be cherished, and friends will trust you? Your Majesty is a benevolent king, love the people like a son, and carry with you When the people are crossing the river, they don't care about their own lives, scholars, don't worry about your Majesty disregarding the lives of the people."

"As for you and me who are people and ministers, we must distinguish right from wrong. What is right and what is wrong? The righteousness of a monarch and his ministers is more important than the great plan of the world. However, today's people do not have loyalty and filial piety. The world. The reason why this avenue is not working is the reason why the world is in chaos. Master Wu used the power policy as the name, only thought of power and profit, was unfaithful and unfilial, so that he broke his promise and broke the contract to attack Jing, preventing my righteous teacher from going north. Even Cao Pi usurped. Those in the Han Dynasty are all gnashing their teeth and hating it. Your Majesty punishes them with the righteous way, so how can you speak of your own personal anger?"

"Scholars think, what is selfish anger? Master said: only benevolent people can love others and hate others. A benevolent person loves others with virtue, and always tries his best to help people walk on the right path. I hate those who don't understand the general situation and lead people to the wrong path. And those people with bad intentions, their likes and dislikes are only guided by self-interest, if it is beneficial, it is good, and if it is profitable, it is evil. In their view, there is neither permanent friend nor permanent enemy, and of course there is no sincerity. Please look at your majesty and Sun Quan, who is the benevolent and who is the villain? Who is destroying the world's plans for his own selfishness? Who is trying to set things right and turn the tide?"

Qin Mi was silent for a long while, but felt that Zhuge Liang's words were reasonable and could not refute them.Finally, he shook his head: "King Hui of Liang is warlike, and Mencius warned him against it. Today, His Majesty disregards the northern soldiers and raises troops to attack Wu. Isn't that against the way of benevolence and righteousness?"

"The bachelor thinks that Your Majesty is warlike?" Zhuge Liang smiled and passed the feather fan in his hand.Not knowing why, Qin Mi took it in a daze.But I feel that the feathers are soft to the touch, and the suet white jade on the fan handle is warm and moist.But Zhuge Liang said warmly: "This fan is a gift from His Majesty. The scholar thinks it has the coldness and sharpness of a weapon?"

Qin Mi shook her head: "This is the softest thing in the world."

Zhuge nodded: "I must have heard that Mrs. Sun is a martial artist, and the maidservants stand with knives. Every time your Majesty enters, your heart is always stunned. Your Majesty has been in the army for half his life. Are you afraid of weapons? No. Qin Xueshi has never killed people with a knife. I don’t know that soldiers with a gentle heart dislike weapons the most. When they see a weapon, their natural reaction is to be on guard. Joy is a chapter, and fighting is a weapon. It’s a chapter. My Majesty and I only hope that all people Respect etiquette and enjoy music, dance with a fan. The war in the world is over, and there is no need for war anymore."

Qin Mi was shocked when he heard his words.But seeing Zhuge Liang untie the Zhangwu sword from his waist again, he also handed it over.Qin Mi took it, drew the sword out of its scabbard and took a look, only to see that the blade was as bright as snow, and the cold light was menacing.This is a rare sword in the world...

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "However, Your Majesty and I also know very well that in this troubled world, rituals collapse and music is destroyed. It cannot be stopped without conquest. Don't you see that Confucius and Mencius practiced benevolence and righteousness, respected rituals and music, walked in troubled times, and traveled around the world. In the end, nothing will be achieved. Tang's fight against Xia Jie, King Wu's defeat of Zhou, and even my high emperor's fight against Qin, all use weapons first, and then perform rituals and music, so as to bring peace and prosperity to the world. Your Majesty bestowed this peerless sword with the name Zhang Wu, and it is That's what it means."

Qin Mi suddenly realized.Just listen to Zhuge Liang said: "The benevolent man is invincible, not because he does not use weapons. It is because he uses the way of ease to make the people work hard without complaining; he uses the way of life to kill people, even though he dies without anger. It is not enough to raise a wife, and life is hard in a happy year, and death is inevitable in an unlucky year. The people resent it, so who is willing to fight for him? Now His Majesty has the right way to govern the country. He does not take away the agricultural season, rewards sericulture, pays more attention to salt, iron and water, so that the people can enjoy Farming and weaving brocade to support their parents and wives, to be full for life in happy years, and to avoid death in bad years, is to teach the people to be filial, loyal and faithful. The people love and trust His Majesty, and are willing to fight to the death for him. Therefore, only the soldiers of the benevolent can be invincible in the world. Resist foreign aggression and reward Wang Shi. Now Wu breaks the contract and attacks
