Baidi Chunshen

One admired Liu Bei, and the other loved Zhuge Liang.Therefore, everyone is willing to promise it to drive away.

So Liu Bei said to She Yuan: "From now on, Qing and others will follow the orders of the prime minister."

The shooter responded: "Yes!"

Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang to get up and sit on the side of the couch.He held the prime minister's hand tightly: "Kong Ming, I leave it to you. I entrusted them to you. I also entrusted you to them. Anyone who doesn't listen to you is against my orders. The prime minister dismisses them at his discretion." .You also need to take care of their food, clothing, life, future honor and disgrace. Just like a king treats his ministers, like a father treats his son."

"...!" The ministers were shocked when they heard this last sentence.Such a solemn entrustment, trusting wholeheartedly, entrusting the crown prince and all the officials... Perhaps it was only when King Wu of Zhou entrusted his younger brother, Duke Zhou, to do so?Such a fish and water king and minister... 17 years ago, it has not changed.

A gentleman's journey should be carried out from beginning to end, nothing more than this...

25. Shao Commander

At that moment, the officials stood up and retreated.Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were left alone to talk.Liu Bei said slowly: "Kong Ming will have to work hard in the future. It can be seen that the Northern Expedition is not about the number of troops, but about the support of the people."

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, I don't have the power to inspire and know people. If Your Majesty leaves me, what should I do with myself?"

"But not necessarily." Liu Bei said with a smile: "Kong Ming must be regarded as a saint and a sage, and all people look up to him. The prime minister is more talented than me."

Zhuge Liang was about to say something, but Liu Bei pressed his hand and said with a smile, "Although he died nine times, he still has no regrets...? Prime Minister, today's meeting is: everyone is drunk but I am sober."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing: "Only Your Majesty knows the heart of a minister."

"Ah, Prime Minister..." Liu Bei sighed: "Success or failure is important? People's hearts are important? Rituals, music, benevolence and righteousness are important? Gou Quan's life is important?"

"Your Majesty..." Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "Confucius said that after making people have food and clothing, they will know propriety and righteousness. Ministers should first make granaries solid, and then sharpen their weapons. Since ancient times, those who have won kings and defeated bandits without great achievements, how can they educate people's hearts. Your Majesty also knows that ministers and thieves, Talent is weak and the enemy is strong."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "The prime minister actually said one thing in front of the ministers, and another in front of me."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows brightly, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to hear another story, Your Majesty?"

"Oh, the prime minister has another idea?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei to lie down, sat on the side of the couch, and smiled: "This is what I said to myself: Maybe the road is not so far, after crossing the Qinling Mountains, it is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an."

Liu Bei held the hand of his prime minister with a smile, and nodded: "Excellent! My Marquis!" He paused, and then said: "Gong Yan has been abstaining from alcohol for many years since he trained with you. It seems to be reborn, and he is no longer young. Frivolous, more and more mature. This child...is more and more like you."

Zhuge Liang asked with a smile: "Then, what about Wen Wei, Your Majesty?"

"What does the prime minister think?" Liu Bei asked back.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Wen Wei has a good understanding of people. Even if the official duties are boring, Wen Wei looks at them temporarily, and he has already studied their intentions. His speed is several times faster than others, and he will not forget them in the end. Answer the questions, nothing is lost. This is a rare talent."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded: "Wen Wei is talented, but his wisdom is not as good as Kong Ming's, and his ambition is not as good as Gong Yan. If Nei De educates, Ze is surrounded by the people, beats the country, and the weak enemy is strong, no one can match Kong Ming. They The two are supported and taught by you, but in the end they can't be better than the blue. The spiritual energy that covers the world is only in the prime minister."

The emperor's words and sentences were full of love for his own prime minister: "Kong Ming is assisted by these two heroes, so why worry about not being able to rejuvenate the Han and destroy the Wei, and return to the old capital."

Zhuge Liangsi and Jiang Wan were disliked by Liu Beisu.But because he valued Gong Yan, he also agreed with him, wanting to make him a talented person, without interfering, and supporting and trusting him.Thinking of this, he couldn't help being moved, choked up and remained silent.

But Liu Bei laughed and said: "Do you remember Kong Ming? In the past, you and Cao Zijian wrote about the founding officials of the Han Dynasty, and most people believed that Kong Ming's theory was true. Emperor Gao created the world of Han, so that women and children all know that the advisers have Zhang Liang and Chen Ping , with Xiao He, who will be Han Xin. But Guangwu also won the world with commoner horses and horses, but his advisers and generals are bleak. Just ask the people of later generations, how many people will know Deng Yu, Wu Han, Ma Yuan and others?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help smiling when he thought of the pen battle with Cao Zhi a few years ago.But I don't know why Liu Bei mentioned this matter suddenly.I only heard Liu Bei continue to say: "The ancestors' talents and strategies are not inferior to those of his advisors, so they overshadowed their brilliance. However, Emperor Gao's nature is sparse, but he knows people and is good at tasks, so that the talents of his ministers can be highlighted. I am more like Emperor Gao, when people talk about me in the future, they probably also know that Kong Ming is my Xiao He. Shiyuan, filial piety, is my good peace. Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, are also heroes of the moment. I Liu Bei, because of you, three points There is one in the world, and it will eventually become an emperor."

"However, when Kongming returns to the old capital and dominates the world in the future, when people talk about Kongming, they probably also talk about the ancestors. The rest of the Han officials, although they are all heroes in the world, are still brighter than you. Under the brilliance of Kongming, They will all pale in comparison. People in future generations may not even remember their names."

"Thinking of this, I really feel sorry for them. But I am also happy for you. Kong Ming...you really live up to your name, and you are worthy of the name your father gave you. I ordered Adou to make you Marquis of Wuxiang, just to You have neither the meaning of light nor the word "Wu"."

Light...Wu...

Kongming... Marquis of Wuxiang...

No, that's what Liu Bei meant.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Please take back what you just said, Your Majesty."

"You...!" Liu Bei looked at him angrily.

Zhuge Liang got up, knelt down in his clothes, and said clearly and loudly: "Your father's order, Liang dare not disobey. However, it is really improper for your majesty to compare your ministers to the ancestors. Don't you see that Cao Cao deceived the king, the world collapsed, and the people were uproarious. Pi followed it with usurping, and eventually the rites collapsed and music was destroyed, and the way of the monarch and ministers was gradually replaced by bullying. Even if the culture and military strategy are the best in the world, it will not be able to relieve the people. Therefore, I ask your majesty to take back the words just now."

…Kong Ming always respected the etiquette, especially after he proclaimed himself king and emperor.That set of guidelines for monarchs and ministers often arouses the impatience of Liu Bei, who was born in the army.However, although Kong Ming spoke in a tepid way, every sentence was reasonable and reasonable. It sounded gentle, but in fact his principles were strong and irrefutable.Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Prime Minister, please stand up."

Zhuge Liang still said loudly: "Your Majesty, please take back what you just said!"

"The Son of Heaven is no joke, what do you want me to say back!" Liu Bei's tone was filled with displeasure.

Zhuge Liang was silent.Although it is a kneeling posture, it is full of stubbornness from head to toe.

"It's very good, and I'll still fight with you." Liu Bei was angry and funny.But seeing that Zhuge Liang still couldn't get up, he said coldly: "Do you want me to help you up?!"

"Your Majesty, please take back what you just said!" Zhuge Liang responded again.

Liu Bei felt powerless.If he has the strength now, he must step forward and lift this guy up.However, he finally suppressed his anger, and after a while, he said slowly: "Kong Ming, come here and help me up."

Zhuge Liang remained motionless.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I want to go outside and enjoy the wind from the river. I also hope that the prime minister will accompany me."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang stood up and helped Liu Bei up.The two walked out of the palace slowly.The back of Yong'an Palace is right next to the mountains and rivers, overlooking the banks of the Yangtze River Gorge, the mountain road is densely shaded, butterflies are dancing and flowers are fragrant, and the warm wind is blowing, but the cuckoo is crying sadly, which makes people feel sad.The two monarchs and ministers walked slowly along the mountain path with their arms, and neither of them spoke for a long time.Liu Bei seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't stop to rest after walking for a long time.Walking to the side of the mountain facing west, I saw a round of sunset, hanging on the emerald green of the distant mountain.The wind from the river is even more refreshing.

Liu Bei finally stopped, and the two monarchs and ministers watched the sunset quietly.After a while, Liu Bei suddenly said, "Kong Ming..."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang replied.

But listening to Liu Bei's continuation, he actually began to recall the past:

"At that time, I, Liu Bei, heard the name of Wolong, and ran three times in Longzhong, but what I saw was a sleeping dragon. Unexpectedly, after Kongming came out of the mountain, he shared the bed with me every night and chatted happily. , I often go to bed after midnight. I didn’t like reading at first, but since I have you as a teacher and a friend, explaining and talking, teaching me to see the general idea, I have gradually enjoyed the joy of reading in a scroll.”

"At that time, we sighed and hated the two emperors Yu Huan and Ling. Now that things have changed and we have a great foundation, we are talking about Shizu and Gaodi."

Liu Bei fell silent and stopped talking. Zhuge Liang supported him and walked slowly.At a corner, Liu Bei stopped suddenly, pointed behind Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile, "Please look, Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang turned his head, but saw the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, and the mountains were numerous, and a few miles below their feet, there were hundreds of families scattered here and there.Cooking smoke curls up, far and near, rising upwards.The setting sun spread all over, covering all this with a hazy and warm orange halo.It's always picturesque.

"Could it be that I'm the only one in Kong Ming's eyes. He can't see the beautiful scenery in this world, the mountains and rivers are picturesque." Liu Bei laughed.

"..." Zhuge Liang looked at his own emperor speechlessly, but Liu Bei's eyes froze suddenly, and he looked at him earnestly, and said seriously, "I know very well that Kong Ming's loyalty is the same as heaven and earth. I also know that you are humble and indifferent Natural nature. I compared you to the ancestors, which naturally made Kong Ming extremely terrified."

Zhuge Liang had a sore nose, choked up and said, "Your Majesty has learned from you."

Liu Bei looked at the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, and sighed: "However, speaking of personal feelings, I hope to see you commanding the world. Kong Ming's talent, as long as it is better than the ancestors, will surely bring unprecedented peace and prosperity to the world. .”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, and was about to say something, but he heard Liu Bei say: "Kong Ming is silent. Just let me listen. If you don't let me say it, I won't say it in the future. But I'm just thinking about it, and you don't want to. allow
