Baidi Chunshen

Concerned about Liu Bei's illness, he hurriedly stopped Chen Zhen: "Xiaoqi, Your Majesty..."

Only then did Chen Zhen raise his head, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is fine and is waiting for the prime minister."

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked to the sleeping hall.Chen Zhen stared blankly at the slightly tired back of the Prime Minister, thinking that Liu Bei was seriously ill, and even though he was so sad, with the deep affection of His Majesty the Prime Minister, he did not know how tormented Zhuge Liang was.

When Zhuge Liang came to the bedroom, Liu Bei ordered him to take a bath and wash first, and then the monarch and his ministers shared the bed and talked together.

"Hey, Prime Minister..." Liu Bei looked at the roof and asked with a smile, "Do you know why I like to lie down and talk to you?"

"This is His Majesty's habit." Zhuge Liang smiled.Liu Bei has always been like this, how could he not know.

"No. I really like to lie down and talk to you."

"..." Zhuge Liang knew that His Majesty had something to say, so he remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"Because Kong Ming is often overworked. Lying down can maintain liver qi." Liu Bei said again: "You are too formal, and you always sit upright when talking with your subordinates until late at night. I want you to learn from me, but the prime minister has such a temperament, so I know to force you No. Come however you feel comfortable."

Zhuge Liang turned over, faced Liu Bei, and said with a smile, "Lying next to Your Majesty is the most comfortable thing."

...It's like lying in the thatched cottage and looking at the starry sky.It's just that there is an extra confidant by my side, how happy and safe it is.

"Ah... Do you remember Kong Ming?" Liu Bei said with a smile: "We were in Xinye at that time, and we always talked about Huanling. If you are close to a worthy official, you will be far away from a villain, and the society will prosper. The country is in ruins... I was born with no other strengths, only knowing how to employ people, which is something I should be proud of. I didn't expect that it was the only strength that taught me to be the prime minister and become the emperor."

"Your Majesty's ability to know and employ people is beyond the reach of thousands of people. He is a talent from the sky, and I can't match it..."

"Prime Minister, you don't have to belittle yourself." Liu Bei smiled and said, "You have been with me for 17 years, and you haven't learned eight or nine points yet?"

"I follow His Majesty in common clothes, and I have to listen to the sacred teachings in the morning and evening, and I benefit a lot. One point a year is exactly [-] points." Zhuge Liang laughed.

"...Pfft." Liu Bei couldn't hold back either, and laughed.The two carefully recalled and savored the past 17 years of being together, going through both wind and rain, but felt peaceful and timeless for a while, and hoped that time would stop.

But what should be said should still be said.Liu Bei never forgot what he wanted to tell Zhuge Liang.So he shook his head: "I know you really admire me for this. But you often have your own opinions, and if you really hold back, you won't listen to anyone who persuades you. You still don’t listen to me when you’re done. I’ve spoiled you since I came here to teach you to do whatever you want.”

Zhuge Liang laughed.

"Emperor Gao's nature is sparse, and there are also some inappropriate actions. I am the same." Liu Bei sighed: "But I know how to use people, and I hope the prime minister will listen to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang replied solemnly when he heard Liu Bei's serious tone.

"You are a young man, exaggerating the truth, you can't use it. You should check it out." Liu Bei said slowly.

"..." Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it in his heart. He often talked about the art of war with Ma Di, and unconsciously it lasted the whole afternoon.If it is said that he doesn't know about soldiers, isn't Liu Bei even more ignorant of soldiers than Ma Di?

"Don't agree with what I said?" Liu Bei also noticed it, and said with a smile: "This kid is a bit talented, Chengdu Ling has done it very well. I know a lot of people... Ji Chang and You Chang, although they are brothers, but their temperaments are different. .Ji Chang looks gentle and gentle like jade, but when encountering major events, he is more persevering and calm. Xiao Chang talks and laughs happily on weekdays, but he may not have the integrity of his brother when encountering troubles."

"..."

"Forget it, the prime minister can't understand it for a while, so keep it in your heart. In the future, when you encounter problems, think about what I said." Seeing Zhuge silently pondering and not answering, Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.But Liu Bei said again: "Also, although Zhengfang is very talented, I think his temperament is too arrogant. It is not as good as filial piety and straightness. Wen Chang is also arrogant. They feel that they are my important ministers. He also thinks that he is old and talented, so he may not put the prime minister in his eyes. In the future, the prime minister will deal with it at his discretion. Don't let it cause disaster."

"Your Majesty, I'm terrified." Zhuge Liang couldn't lie down any longer, got up on the couch, knelt and bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I don't have the virtue and charisma of Your Majesty, so I can gather heroes from all over the world. After that, Yi The state is exhausted, talents are withering one after another... Ruochen deposes them... how many people will be available in the future?"

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Prime Minister cherishes talents, I know that. But don't underestimate yourself, your virtue and charisma are not inferior to me. You can also grab some talents from Cao Wei."

Zhuge Liang laughed: "I'm afraid that before this, I must get the emperor's heir back from Soochow."

Liu Bei smiled and continued: "Okay! In the past, I was here, and I could do all kinds of bad things for you. You just need to be gentle and stay at home. From now on, you can also show your power to them. You can steal and rob people, and you can do anything. Extremely! I believe that there are people in Wei State who will sincerely admire you and love you! In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu had no way, and many talents from Chu fled to Jin State, and even helped the Jin army defeat the Chu army. This is how the Jin State can appoint talents The reason is that Kong Minghui knows heroes with his eyes, and uses talents, and pays attention to both ability and political integrity. If one day the Lord of Wei is incompetent and his talents are used by Kong Ming, the general situation will be unknown...Come on, prime minister, lie down. Let's continue..."

28. I don't know good from bad

The two chatted about state affairs, Zhuge Liang became more and more drowsy as they talked, and simply got up.Before coming to the case, he opened the "Guanzi" that he had not finished transcribing and annotating, and continued to write.

Liu Bei sighed: "I shouldn't have talked so much with you. The prime minister can't fall asleep when he has something on his mind."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Copy the book and be quiet. Besides, with His Majesty by your side, I will surely fall asleep after writing for less than half an hour."

Liu Bei laughed.

On the Dongshan Mountain in the moon, Zhuge Liang copied the annotations and explained the content of "Guanzi" to Liu Bei.Just like when we were in Xinye.Until it comes to "Water is the one who is vast, and fish is what nurtures." If Liu Bei realized something, he uttered the amazing sentence "There is water like fish".

At this time, Liu Bei was lying on the couch, watching Zhuge Liang's writing.Just like back then.He said with a smile: "Kongming's calligraphy is just like his own. It is light and graceful, yet fortitude and dignified. It is both. I can't get enough of it."

"I'm terrified..." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Liu Bei said again: "Kong Ming, in this world, masters and apprentices are born out of blue. It's really hard to say. Who knew that Liang Hu could teach a disciple like you."

Liang Hu was a calligrapher in the late Han Dynasty.He loved calligraphy since he was a child, and learned from his teacher, Yiguan, and got his true biography. He was famous for being good at eight-point calligraphy.During the reign of Guanghe, he served as governor of Liangzhou.During the time of Emperor Ling, under the door of Hongdu, he moved to select the Minister of the Ministry and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.At the end of the Han Dynasty, he defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.In the 23rd year of Jian'an, Cao Cao broke Jingzhou, and Liang Hu was treated as a guest of honor.The inscriptions on Wei Palace were all written by Liang Hu.

While writing, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Master... he is indeed very accomplished in calligraphy. Liang has always been hard to come by."

"Nonsense." Liu Bei said displeased, "You're humiliating yourself again. If Liang Hu knew that the inscriptions on my Han palace, the treasure tripod, and even the swords of civil servants and generals are all handwritten calligraphy by Kong Ming, he must be very happy."

Zhuge Liang continued to write, with a warm smile on his lips.At the end, he said with a smile: "If Lu Zhonglang can know that His Majesty will eventually become the hegemony, ascend to the Ninth Five-Emperor Throne, and rejuvenate the great man, how happy he will be..."

"Ah...my teacher, he didn't have time to see all this...I was only 15 years old when I worshiped under him. My teacher is already half a hundred years old..." Liu Bei sighed.

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang raised his head and said with a smile: "When I was young, I went to Xiangyang to visit my teacher to study Bafenshu, and it was also fifteen."

"Oh, but later this fellow, when he heard that Mr. Cao was looking for him, he was so frightened that he locked himself up." Liu Bei said disdainfully: "This kind of person is also worthy to be Kong Ming's teacher!" After a moment of silence, he laughed again: " Compared with him, my prime minister must be better than blue, and his writing has more character than him."

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, Kong Ming, have you heard of it?" Liu Bei said again: "I heard that Cao Cao once asked Liang Sima: I heard that Zhuge Liang is your disciple, why did he run away with Liu Bei without knowing good or bad?"

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows: "Liang has never heard of it... I would like to hear more about it."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "So Liang Hu was sweating like rain, but he couldn't answer it. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said: Alas! This question must be answered by Kong Ming himself."

"..."

"Later, Kong Ming assisted Liu Bei, captured four counties, took Xichuan, and pacified Hanzhong. This Liang Hu was also afraid, and pleaded guilty to Cao Gong many times for Kong Ming. Fortunately, Cao Gong was magnanimous and did not blame him. Instead, his Calligraphy is hung in the military tent, or nailed to the wall, and you can watch and enjoy it from time to time."

"Your Majesty..." Zhuge Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty is lying. You made up a good story!"

Liu Bei laughed out loud.And Zhuge Liang looked at his childish king with helplessness and amused expression.Liu Bei laughed, and Fang Zheng said: "But it may not be a fabrication, maybe Cao Cao really asked him that?"

"...Your Majesty should go to sleep." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Stop talking about him." Liu Bei also said with a smile, "If you don't answer me, I won't sleep tonight."

"..." Zhuge Liang was silent, and began to tidy up the letter in his hand.Don't call the waiter, wash the ink and brush by yourself, and then hang the brush to dry.Finally, Fang rolled up his sleeves and cleaned his hands.Liu Bei crouched on the couch and watched the series of actions of his prime minister, every move was elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Zhuge Liang took off his outer robe again and hung it on the hanger. Fang came to sit beside Liu Bei's couch, held Liu Bei's hand, and remained silent for a long time.A warm and timeless atmosphere quietly permeated the bedroom.

"His Majesty asked
