Baidi Chunshen

, "Liu Bei looked at his prime minister with a proud smile: "Kong Ming was created by me, Liu Bei.Even if Kong Ming is powerful in the world, why worry about violating the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers? "

Zhuge Liang looked at his king with a tearful smile, and shook his head slightly: "It's the minister who is worrying too much."

"This heart and reason are very understandable. No wonder the ancient sages lamented loneliness." Liu Bei said, and then sighed slightly: "Some people say that I am good at buying people's hearts. Oh, those who know me say that I am worried, but I don't know me. Those who say what I want! Let them go! Liu Bei has been poor for half his life, and he has never cared about it! Are you afraid of people gossip? If you talk about bribery, the prime minister--" He looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhuge is the most important treasure in the country, unparalleled in the world! Prime Minister One person can produce tens of thousands of gold. How can it be bought with ten thousand gold!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled.I thought of the situation in the past many years when there were enough food and soldiers, and countless nights to discuss with Liu Bei about the money and food for the soldiers, the rich country and the strong soldiers.Occasionally, there were a few times when Liu Bei was out fighting, and he was in a hurry to urge food.Zhuge Liang can always find ways to get enough soldiers, horses, food and grass, and send them to the front line in time.Afterwards, the two couldn't help laughing at each other about this matter.With the precipitation of the years, the foundation of Jiangshan was laid down inch by inch, and these have become meaningful and warm memories.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, and the cuckoo on the river bank crows.Under Baidi City, white-haired fishermen and woodcutters on Jiangzhu, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.At this time, there are no worries about state affairs, and no worries about the separation of the world.However, Zhuge Liang looked at the increasingly red sunset, gradually disappearing behind the distant mountains, and the lives of the people around him, just like the sunset, were disappearing all the time.Time flies, and it doesn't stop because he is the same through the ages, nor because he is a feather in the sky through the ages.

The green hills are unabated, the gray hair is unreasonable, the moon is missing and the flowers are incomplete.

But people's dreams are related, how difficult is it to recall the reunion...

There are many mountains and mountains, and the tiger hides and the dragon coils. It is unbearable to look back at Chang'an.

The road is long, the clouds and trees are far away, the earth and the sky are wide...

Somewhere at the foot of the mountain, a fisherman sang a song while paddling his oars.The singing is vigorous and sad, it is Cai Yong's "Remembering the Old".

"Listen Kong Ming, unexpectedly, there are such elegant people in this fishing and woodcutter place. The lyrics are very good."

There was no response for a long time.

"Kong Ming...?"

Liu Bei lowered his head.Fang saw Zhuge Liang resting his head on his lap.Actually fell asleep.It can be seen that Bai Ri's state affairs are bothering his mind, and he is also worried about his condition.No matter how strong you look on the outside, you will always be sad inside.At this time, as soon as the person relaxes, he is too tired to fall asleep.

Liu Bei couldn't bear to disturb him, so he stared blankly at the setting sun, and heard singing from the foot of the mountain:

Lamenting to participate in business, the land is thousands of miles away, and the sky is on each side, and I am enthusiastic about it.

Ruthless fish and geese, there is time to stay, flowing water swallows the setting sun...

The singing lingers around the mountain city, endlessly.Liu Bei bowed his head and saw that Zhuge Liang's black hair was also mixed with a few traces of frost.Alas, prime minister... you are 20 years younger than me... you are still in your prime.I've worked so hard...

"Kong Ming..." Liu Bei said in a low voice, "I can't see you getting old...I'm worried about you, I can't let you go..."

"I think the talent of Kong Ming is like that of the ancestors. He should rejuvenate the great man and calm the world. However, the ancestors destroyed 40 powerful troops in the suburbs of Kunyang. What they faced was Wang Xun, who was arrogant and conceited. But now Cao Wei is as powerful as Cao Wei, and there are many advisers and good generals. There is no shortage of talents who are good at commanding troops and planning. Kong Ming will use a weak army from one state to fight against Kyushu. Kong Ming has even less room to play..."

"Kong Ming has a difficult road ahead. Even though his talent is incomparable to the world, this destiny seems to be against us. Kong Ming and I are both people who don't believe in destiny... Maybe with the blessing of the heavens, Kong Ming will finally be able to conquer Chang'an and return the two capitals."

"Heaven is above..." Liu Bei closed his eyes, choked with sobs and said, "This is the last wish that Bei prayed to God."

A teardrop rolled down the emperor's old cheek and fell into Zhuge Liang's hair.But the sleeping prime minister didn't realize it.

24. Help the king and benefit

In the quiet mist of the early morning, the city gate slowly opened.A group of people galloped into Baidi City.The leader is 30 years old, holding a scepter, young and handsome, with sharp eyes.Even though he was on a horse, he was still dressed in neat robes, showing the majesty of a Han official.

The young envoy had just entered Baidi City, before he had time to rest, he rushed to Yong'an Palace.A waiter had already reported to the prime minister urgently.Zhuge Liang immediately put down his official duties and greeted him.Seeing Zhuge Liang, the envoy hurried forward.Zhuge Liang shook his hand: "Wen Wei has been exhausted all the way, it's been hard work."

Fei Yi was tired at first, but when he saw his prime minister, his tired eyes lit up, and he shook his head slightly.And Zhuge Liang immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It's expected. Soochow was defeated by Cao Pi, and I'm afraid he was more anxious than us. The only thing to worry about is that His Majesty's hatred is so deep that it will be difficult to reunite. Wen Wei will go to rest first. , Your Majesty will call the ministers in the afternoon and report again."

Fei Yi smiled: "I'm not tired, and I can handle some official documents for the Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Wen Wei understands and comprehends faster than others. However, under exhaustion, I don't know if he can recite as usual?"

Fei Yi sighed: "Come on, come on. Yifang came back from his envoy. He rode a horse and galloped all the way before dawn to the present. He is not in good spirits. He will lose to the prime minister." He said, and walked to his residence.As if thinking of something, he turned his head and smiled at Zhuge Liang: "It was the prime minister who ordered me to rest, and it wasn't because I was lazy. The prime minister called me whenever he had something to do."

As he spoke, he left without looking back in the morning light.Zhuge Liang was left behind shaking his head with a smile, and went back to the room to continue his work.An hour later, another waiter came to report, saying that the governor of the imperial concubine had rushed back and was summoned by His Majesty.Zhuge Liang put down his official duties and went to Liu Bei's bedroom.In the sleeping hall, Li Hui was sitting on the mat under the couch, talking with Liu Bei.When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang coming, he smiled and waved, letting him sit on the couch.

All the officials in Yong'an Palace knew that since Liu Bei fell ill and met with the officials, only Zhuge Liang was allowed to sit on the couch and talk intimately with the emperor.All the other courtiers sat on the table.It’s just that Li Hui saw an even more terrifying scene today—Liu Bei picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his prime minister’s forehead, saying, “It’s spring, and you’re going to be burned out. In summer, you’ll be sweating profusely. .There are so many things that require you to do everything by yourself?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people, and the minister has the charisma."

"Nonsense!" Liu Bei scolded with a smile: "Xiao He didn't toss himself like this. Chen Ping didn't ask about Lianggu. It was easier for Guangwu and his officials. Although I am not as good as Guangwu, I think I am better than Gaozu. You again If you keep working hard, it will make my face dull. I heard that Wen Wei has a good eye and ten lines, and his speed in handling official affairs is unrivaled. Only you two can compete with each other. You have a good time, but the prime minister is not confused , You should work hard and cherish yourself. How can you compete with young people? If there is anything, just leave it to them!"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Okay, I won't deal with official business in the afternoon. Just accompany Your Majesty."

Liu Bei sighed: "I told the prime minister a few times, but you never changed after repeated admonitions. Just like Yun Changyide!"

Zhuge Liang smiled, and seeing Li Hui turn his head to look at the flowers and birds outside the window, he called softly: "De'ang, Nanzhong is in turmoil, why come back at this time."

Li Hui turned back and smiled and said, "I miss your majesty and the prime minister, so I rushed back at night. I don't want your majesty and the prime minister to have a deep love for fish and water, and I wish I could talk to each other all the time. I probably forgot that I am still sitting here."

Liu Bei laughed out loud.Zhuge Liang also smiled and shook his head.Several people laughed, and Liu Beifang said: "Kong Ming, De'ang promised me that I will help you to pacify Nanzhong. De'ang is worthy of great responsibility, and he is enough to help you!"

Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile, and asked about various things in the south, Li Hui answered them all correctly, without missing anything.Liu Bei watched from half lying down beside him, he couldn't stop laughing and nodded.Li Huiben was recommended by Dong He to serve as an official in the state.At that time, he knew that Liu Zhang would be defeated and Liu Bei would succeed, so he pretended to entrust the county envoy to vote for Liu Bei.When Liu Bei saw him, he tested his talent and learning, and was overjoyed. He sent Li Hui to Hanzhong to befriend Ma Chao, so Ma Chao came back, and Chengdu was settled.Later, someone falsely accused Li Hui of rebellion, but Liu Bei knew that Li Hui must be different, so he promoted Li Hui to be a different driver.In the first year of Zhangwu, before Liu Bei went to the east, the governor of the capital surrendered to the governor died. Liu Bei asked Li Hui: "Who can replace me?" Li Hui recommended himself with a smile: "It's not like an old minister. I can't steal from myself, but your majesty can check it." Liu Bei smiled. Said: "My original intention is already in Qing." So he took Li Hui as the governor of the imperial court.All these deeds were passed down as good stories in the court for a while.The courtiers praised Li Hui's talent and loyalty, and also admired His Majesty's knowledge of people.

Just as Zhuge Liang and Li Hui were discussing matters in the south, Fei Yi came.The rest of the courtiers, such as Sheyuan, Li Yan, Jiang Wan, etc. also entered and sat aside.Before Sun Quan asked for peace, Liu Bei sent the doctor Song Wei, and the middle-class son Fei Yi went back and forth to report his orders.It is unknown what news Fei Yi brought this time.When Li Hui saw Fei Yi coming, he stopped and said nothing.Zhuge Liang also looked at Fei Yi: "Wen Weifang has returned from his mission, you can try to say something."

Fei Yi then stood up and replied, "Wu Xin and I have not stopped fighting for a long time. Master Wu is at both ends of the rat, and he is suspicious. In my opinion, I still need to send envoys to repay each other. In order to consolidate the sincerity of the alliance."

Liu Bei sighed: "Sun Quan was suspicious because he was afraid that I had deep resentment and still remembered the old enmity. If the prime minister takes over the government after I leave, the situation will change. The reunification of the Han and Wu alliances can be expected. The prime minister will send people there again. "

Zhuge Liang was the first envoy to Soochow since Liu Bei's reckless rise of troops and entangled the world's civil and military heroes, and achieved outstanding results.In the point of uniting Wu against Cao, I am afraid that no one will be more suitable and do a better job than him.However, at this time, Zhuge Liang, with the weight of the prime minister, will be in charge of the government of a country, and it is impossible to go to another country as an envoy.

Ma Liang was Liu Bei's attendant and Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law. He had been sent to Soochow several times.If he is here at this moment, he is the most suitable candidate for the envoy.However, Ma Liang himself also splashed blood on the battlefield because of his army's eastward expedition.Deng Zhi, who is about to be sent to Soochow by Zhuge Liang in the first year of Jianxing, is now the prefect of Guanghan.not here
