Baidi Chunshen

Jing is to prevent my volunteers from going north to help the Han Dynasty.Since the death of General Guan, Cao Pi thought that I was powerless to rebel, so he abolished Han in one fell swoop and became self-reliant.Now Emperor Xiaomin still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead... As a Han official, how could he not be heartbroken!Your Majesty's attack on Wu is a crime based on righteousness.What is inhumane? "

Qin Mi choked up when she heard this.Zhuge Liang held his hand with tears in his eyes: "As Confucians, what my teachers Kong Qiu and Meng Ke could not do, we will do it for them! Now my Lord is bright and the sun and the moon are practicing benevolence and righteousness. We will follow him and work hard for a lifetime." If we fight, why worry about the failure of the great cause!"

Ma Liang was beside him, and his heart was surging when he heard it. He smiled and nodded to Qin Mi.The warden outside the prison and Ting Wei who had come here earlier and listened for a while also raised their sleeves to wipe away their tears.The guards watching were all moved.

Prime Minister Zhuge...can educate all people, touch people's hearts, if this is the case, it is probably the case!Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I dare not bow my head to worship this master of Wancheng, and the emperor Liu Bei who is regarded as a god by this master of Wancheng!

Qin Mi smiled and sighed: "My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. I have cured the classics for so many years, but I am far inferior to the prime minister. The prime minister can really be my teacher! I wonder if the prime minister often dreams about Duke Zhou."

The court lieutenants and jailers outside the prison all laughed.Ma Liang said with a smile: "You can entrust a six-foot orphan, and you can send a hundred miles of life. The prime minister himself is the Duke of Zhou. Why do you dream of yourself? Isn't this Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly?"

Tingwei and the warden listened to the Prime Minister's explanation of the way of Confucius and Mencius, and Qin Mi and Ma Liang both mentioned Zhuangzi again, and couldn't help laughing.Zhuge Liang also smiled and shook his head: "Liang can't be compared to the ancient sages. He just met His Majesty and was touched by His benevolence and virtue. When he took the people across the river, Liang also escaped from death, reborn, and became enlightened. From then on, in and out of dreams, only Your Majesty. Those who enjoy the joy of the people enjoy the joy of the people. Those who worry about the worries of the people, the people also worry about their worries... Is it not the case for the people of Jingxiang? Joy for the world, worry for the world, but there is no such thing as a king Yes. Your Majesty is the ancient sage who came to this world. Although his strength is weak and he is forced by swords and soldiers, he is more and more recognizable as a king, like a ray of dawn in a long night of troubled times... Therefore, we and the people would rather be chased by Cao Jun than to be defeated. Get away from him!"

Ma Liang sighed.At that time, hundreds of thousands of people in Jingxiang accompanied the old and the young, and their Ma clan was among them, and they had long been determined to die.Seeing that the marching speed was too slow, Zhuge Liang ordered them to ride lightly to Jiangxia, but he himself followed Liu Bei and accompanied the people.When Ma Liang heard that Cao Jun was chasing him down, Ma Liang thought that Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were in danger, so he wept for several days.Seeing that they were safe and sound, I was overjoyed.

But Qin Mi said with a smile: "What Ma Shizhong said is not unreasonable. Your Majesty and the prime minister are like butterflies and Zhuang Zhou. A dream once in a hundred years, the monarch and his subjects are one, so I don't know whether I turn into a butterfly or the butterfly turns into myself. Such a monarch and minister, thousands of It's hard to carry."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty likes Zhuangzi. In the future, scholars can chat with him more, and His Majesty will definitely like it. Your Majesty's word taboo also comes from Lao Tzu."

Qin Mi smiled, thinking of what Lao Tzu said, "To be born without being born, to be born without being dependent on, and to be grown up without killing, is called Xuande." I don't think your majesty actually likes Lao Zhuang's theory.

But I heard Zhuge Liang sigh: "Your Majesty, as the name suggests, is indeed different from the ancient emperors. He is born but not possessed, does not rely on him, and grows but not kills. He is a true sage. He cultivates and nurtures his subjects, but he does not forcefully possess them." , Never worry about my high achievements. Your Majesty will do something and not do something, but he will not rely on his own ability, but let his subordinates make the best use of them. Although he is the Lord of the people, he does not rule arbitrarily. This is deep Unfathomable kindness!"

Qin Mi smiled and nodded: "Prime Minister wants to continue explaining Lao Zhuang to me? If I continue to follow the theory of various schools of thought, I will miss the prime minister's dinner time. Why don't you go back to the Confucian Scholars Conference next time and invite the prime minister to honor you, Mi I also want to see the Prime Minister fighting against the Confucians."

"What nonsense!" Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Liang was in Jiangdong back then. He was young and ignorant, and only knew how to use his tongue. Bachelors should not use it as a joke."

Ma Liang said casually: "When there is time to fight with Confucians, the prime minister may be more willing to make spring clothes with His Majesty. Five or six of the crowned ones, six or seven of the boys, bathe in Yi, dance in the wind, play the piano and sing a song of high mountains and flowing water and return home."

Seeing Ma Liang making fun of him, Zhuge Liang also nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes. Fortunately, Liang has some piano skills. Your majesty has beautiful clothes and loves music. That's exactly what happens: if you are good at singing, you must make it the other way around. He Zhi. I heard Shao music, but I felt the lingering sound, and I didn’t know the taste of meat for three days.”

"Brother Zun continues like this, it will really be endless." Ma Liang couldn't hold back, and lightly sneered: "Instead of singing praises behind his back, it's better to sing it to His Majesty face to face. He will definitely be happy, and he won't feel that the prime minister is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. A gentleman is magnanimous."

Qin Mi was startled, but couldn't help laughing.Zhuge Liang scolded with a smile: "Ji Chang has such a sharp mouth that he doesn't use words to fight. He is a soldier who surrenders without fighting. No wonder His Majesty will send you to Wuling to recruit Wuxi Man. In the coming Confucian Scholars Conference, Ma Shizhong will be invited to preside over it. Liang enters the palace with his qin in his arms, and goes to the mountains and rivers with His Majesty!"

"..." Ma Liang was speechless for a moment.There was only laughter inside and outside the prison.At the end Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled and said, "Okay. I won't talk about it anymore. If I continue to talk about it, I will forget my feelings. The apprentice Ji often makes fun of the bachelor." As he spoke, he said to Qin Mi in a warm voice: "Scholar Qin has been wronged for a few more days. His Majesty has won the first battle, and he will definitely let you out."

Ma Liang also said with a smile: "In the future Confucian scholars' conference, I will invite the scholar Qin to preside over it. I hope that the scholar deeply understands the prime minister's intentions and passes on the tune of Ya Kuang to the disciples of the scholars. "

For a moment everyone laughed again.Qin Mi smiled and nodded: "Mi understands the meaning of the prime minister and the attendant. In fact, there is no grievance in this prison, but you can't see the sun, you can't go shopping, and you are so bored. But when the prime minister said it like this, Mi felt that it was useless." I have read so many books. I don’t want to go out in the next few days, I have to obediently hide and cure the classics from the beginning.”

As soon as he said this, Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, and even the court lieutenants and jailers outside laughed.The warden said with a bitter face: "If you want to treat the classics, you should go home and treat them. You are here, and the villain has to serve you. It is not the classics, but the villains..."

There was laughter again in the dungeon.The jailers all thought that since the prison was built decades ago, it has probably never received such laughter!What's more, the prime minister personally came to see a Confucian scholar who was imprisoned, and brought hope and laughter...

***

Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang returned to the mansion, and as soon as they stepped into the door, they saw his wife Huang Yueying hastily greeted him. Seeing Zhuge Liang, she hurriedly said, "I slipped out without saying hello. Your Majesty came down just now, but I couldn't find you. Why don't you come?" I asked the butler. Butler Lin didn't know! But it made me anxious..."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "On the eve of the battle, Madam was so alarmed..."

"Don't be joking!" Mrs. Huang spat: "You have alarmed Your Majesty! On the eve of the war, you alone controlled the operation of food and grass, and the lifeblood of the three armies. Running around in the street, what does it look like?"

Zhuge Liang held his wife's hands, and said softly: "This time your majesty will use the Liannu developed by your majesty, which will surely make the Soochow navy flee in fear."

Ma Liang couldn't help but said: "Brother Zun's eloquence is not a hindrance. From the left and right, his ability is unmatched. His majesty and sister-in-law are very anxious, but the prime minister is not at all anxious."

Huang Yueying also laughed when she heard it, and sighed: "Yes, he is a worrying master. He is worried about the country's affairs and the people's livelihood. But he can't take care of himself. Sooner or later, your majesty and I will be anxious." She smiled and turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "I broke your crossbow back then, and now I have helped you make it again, with one shot of five arrows. I will pay off what I owed you back then. I won't worry about you anymore, okay? "

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Ma'am, Liang loves to hold grudges. I haven't finished with you yet. If we have the ability, let's let him shoot ten arrows."

Mrs. Huang hugged her head: "Please forgive me. It would be faster for me to give birth to a son for you."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My child wants to have it at any time in the future. But this lady is hard to find, and Liannu is also a rare magic weapon in the world. Madam, you are old and you only want to grow old with me. How can you not cherish yourself? Playing with your own life."

Mrs. Huang said angrily: "You are old! If you want me to cherish it, why don't you cherish it yourself."

Ma Liang watched his husband and wife bickering, and couldn't help but also laughed.Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying have a deep relationship, but they have had no children for many years, and few people know the reason.

Back then in Longzhong, Ma Liang often went to Zhuge Liang to learn piano and study during the slack time.The two children, Zhuge Jun and Ma Di, rehearsed formations with piles of straw in the field, and played with the Liannu model made by Zhuge Liang.

However, one day, the two children ran back to the thatched hut with mournful faces, holding the broken Liannu in their hands.When Zhuge Liang saw it, his face sank.But Zhuge Jun said: "Brother, this was broken by an unknown brother!"

Zhuge Liang asked for details.Only then did I know that when the two were playing in the fields, they met a boy who happened to pass by.This young man has dark skin and yellow hair, he saw the formation of the two children, and found it interesting to play with the crossbow, so he said he wanted to try it out, if he passed, he would use the crossbow to see it.The two children thought to themselves, how could ordinary people defeat Zhuge Liang's formation, so they agreed.Unexpectedly, this young man really broke the formation, took away the Liannu, disassembled it to study, finally couldn't put it back, before walking away, he said with a smile: "It's not unusual for you to wait for the elder brother to form an army, and the machine crossbow is also good. It’s not good enough, so I can’t pretend it back. If you want to blame me, just find me at the water truck three miles away.”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he laughed: "I'll go meet him." It was the slack season, and the next day he took Ma Liang, Zhuge Jun, and Ma Su to find the stream
