The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Wei Yan was recalled from Hanzhong, and he went directly to Qiao Zhou's house.

Wei Meng followed his father and stood at the door of someone else's house, with a group of personal guards behind him, the scene was solemn.

"Qiao Zhou! Come out and answer correctly!"

Qiao Zhou had heard it said a long time ago that Wei Yan might make trouble for him when he came back.He is also not afraid. Thinking about facing a fierce fighter with his righteousness and composure, it will definitely be a good story to spread, and he is a little excited.

However, Wei Yan's direct calling of people's names makes people uncomfortable. Even if Liu Chan is dissatisfied with his "uprightness", he still has to be polite and call him "Yunnan" when he sees him.

Qiao Zhou walked out of the mansion with bold strides, the three sons feared that their father would suffer, so they also came out behind their father, Qiao Zhou asked neither humble nor overbearing: "What happened to General Wei when he came over the mansion?"

Wei Yancai was too lazy to deal with this kind of person, so he cut straight to the point: "Did you say earlier that the prime minister 'obsesses the emperor with his ministers'?"

Qiao Zhou's chest grew an inch longer: "Not bad."

Wei Yanyang came over with a horsewhip: "How dare you criticize the Prime Minister like a fool? Let's learn the lesson!"

Qiao Zhou was filled with anger when he heard Wei Yan's words. He said that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Looking at Wei Yan's straightforward appearance, he is also afraid that Wei Yan can do what he says. It is quite embarrassing for a scholar to be chased and beaten by a rude general. of.

At the moment when Wei Yan was in a dilemma, Wei Yan's whip was about to fall. Qiao Zhouzang didn't want to hide, but someone called Wei Yan from behind: "General Wei is back, after meeting the emperor, why don't you go to see the prime minister?"

When Wei Yan looked back, Wei Meng beside him had already recognized him first: "Brother Tong!"

Zhao Yun's eldest son, Zhao Tong, led his Wuyun Gaixue and bowed respectfully to Wei Yan from behind.

"Nephew don't tell me, I almost forgot. If that's the case, let's write this down first!" Wei Yan gave Qiao Zhou a stare, "I'll go see the prime minister first."

Qiao Zhou escaped unharmed, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, the three sons quickly helped him in, and closed the door tightly.

Wei Yanze and Wei Meng were led by Zhao Tong to meet Zhuge Liang.

"Why did the prime minister send Brother Tong here? I thought it would be Yang Changshi. It seems that Brother Tong has been doing well recently. Don't forget the brothers after he has developed, what... how do you say it?" Gou Fugui, don't forget each other '?"

After a long time no see, Wei Meng and Zhao Tong got close, and Zhao Tong smiled slightly: "The Prime Minister sent me here."

Wei Yan was taken aback: "If it's not the prime minister, who is it?"

Zhao Tong stretched out his hand and pointed: "Here, it's right in front."

Jiang Wei saluted in front: "Wei is ordered by Mr. Wei to invite General Wei."

Wei Meng's head turned left and right: "Is it necessary to make it so complicated?"

The truth is there is.Wei Meng is not yet familiar with these things, but Wei Yan understands them at a glance.

Zhuge Liang didn't send the prime minister's governor Shi, or join the army, or ordinary Cao Yu to invite Wei Yan as usual, but sent his chief disciple Jiang Wei, which highlights the importance he attaches to Wei Yan.However, when Jiang Wei saw Wei Yan, he happened to catch up with Wei Yan who wanted to clean up Qiao Zhou who had slandered Zhuge Liang.It happened that Zhao Tong passed by, so Jiang Wei asked Zhao Tong to come forward on his behalf.After all, Zhao Tong was Zhao Yun's eldest son. Zhao Yun used to have a good relationship with civil servants and military generals with his honest and straightforward face. Although he was close to Zhuge Liang, he was open-minded and no one was dissatisfied.For Zhao Yun's sake, Qiao Zhou will not vent his anger, and Wei Yan will give him a step.

Wei Meng was dizzy after listening to Jiang Wei's explanation: "I'd better go back to Hanzhong, this... this is too tiring in Chengdu."

"As soon as the major general came back, he felt that it was not easy, sir, like this every day."

"Then make the Northern Expedition a few more times, why should the Prime Minister bother staying in Chengdu." Wei Yan said simply.

Jiang Wei showed a wry smile: "The first Northern Expedition went unfavorably, and the horse joined the army. Although the second and third Northern Expeditions were also Northern Expeditions, they made mistakes before encountering a strong enemy. The prime minister was also deeply afraid that the people's livelihood would be disturbed."

"Where is the prime minister now?" Wei Yan suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Zhuge Liang in the early morning court, and his absence in the early court was a strange thing for Prime Minister Ji Han.

Speaking of Jiang Weiyu's death: "Sir, the day before, he gave His Majesty a leave form, and agreed to go to worship the late emperor today. Your Majesty will agree."

Wei Meng snapped his fingers behind him: "It's not a year or festival, it's not the late emperor's birthday, it's not the anniversary of his death, and it's not a big deal...why sue the temple?"

"It's not considered suing the temple. Otherwise, His Majesty would have to issue an order and even preside over it himself. My husband said that it happens every year. She went to burn something for the late emperor alone."

"Burn what?"

"I don't know. Mr. wrote a lot last night, and then locked it in the Eight Treasures Turning Heart and Nine Palaces box. Today, I took it to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

"We can't guess what the prime minister is thinking, but I think there must be something important. Otherwise, why didn't the prime minister even bring Boyue with him?" Zhao Tong said beside him.

Wei Yan nodded, and Jiang Wei felt that Zhao Tong's words really poked his heart.

But he wanted to know what Zhuge Liang had been writing last night.

Sima Yi submitted a letter to Cao Rui, saying that she was deeply inspired by Wei Taizu Cao Cao's words that "the old man is standing still, and his ambition is a thousand miles". Although she is over 50, she is still eager to make contributions, unify the country, and contribute to the country.At present, the Wu State is obedient and honest, and there is nothing to worry about in a peaceful corner, but the Shu State is very annoying. The fart is a little bit bigger, and there is only one Zhuge Liang, who keeps on the Northern Expedition endlessly. There is no way to even carry out domestic construction, and it is not enough to show the majesty of the country.Therefore, I asked to lead troops to go out and destroy Shu in one fell swoop.

After Sima Yi finished writing, he proudly showed it to Zhang Chunhua beside him: "How is it?"

Zhang Chunhua arrogantly refused to answer: "I'm an old man, what do I know. Show it to Coke, it's your new favorite."

Yep, still angry.

"Chunhua, ginger tea and orange tea are naturally good, but who dares to say that they are tired of drinking water?"

Sima Yi's metaphors made Zhang Chunhua very useful. She snatched Sima Yi's upper form and read it word by word. When she saw a certain sentence, she suddenly burst out laughing: "'Chen Qie Xia Xia', your sentence is really incomparable. Appropriate. When Emperor Wendi, you also wrote like this?"

"It's all written like this." Sima Yi calmly let the topic go, "Madam only reads the content, can you give me some advice?"

Zhang Chunhua closed the watch, held it in his hand and clapped it rhythmically a few times: "There is no suggestion, but—you don't think that if you apply for the expedition, His Majesty will return the military power to you? You said 'yourself Want' is such a method?"

"Of course His Majesty will not agree." Sima Yi said very logically.

"But some people will be anxious." Following Sima Yi's train of thought, Zhang Chunhua found the crux of the problem.

"Cao Zhen."

"Cao Xiu is dead, and he also defeated Lu Xun, the governor of Wu, during his lifetime; Cao Zhen also made limited contributions during the first Northern Expedition of the Shu Han, and it was Guo Huai and Zhang Yun who stopped Zhuge Liang."

"So, how do they compare with me in terms of military merits? Now they and their descendants are stealing high positions, but I am unemployed. What do you think... what the ministers will say."

"Hehe... I don't know what the ministers will say. I only know that old fellow Wu Jizhong will definitely speak for you——Has His Majesty recalled him a few days ago?"

"Yes, so once my form is on, Cao Zhen will definitely be anxious, and will definitely ask himself to go to attack Shu."

"Then he will definitely lose to Zhuge Liang, and His Majesty has no one to use, so he can only use you—hahahaha!" Zhang Chunhua bent down with a smile, "You think so well! Cao Zhen would be so stupid? Zhuge Liang would press Do what you want?"

Sima Yi smiled meaningfully: "As long as the one who takes the initiative to attack will definitely lose. It's the same for everyone, including Cao Zhen. As for Zhuge Liang, she owes me a favor, and I should pay it back. Besides, I will give her a big gift , why didn't she accept it?"

Zhang Chunhua stopped laughing: "What kind of gift?"

This time Sima Yi refused to answer, turned around and took out something from his pocket, and looked at it carefully by the light of the oil lamp.

A piece of Shu Brocade.

"Chunhua, pack my bags for the front line for me."

Zhuge Liang burned white silk silently in the hall, one piece after another.

The flames in the brazier were dancing, reminding Zhuge Liang of when he was in Soochow more than 20 years ago.At that time, Zhou Yu was still there, and Xiaoqiao once secretly revealed to Zhuge Liang that the governor of Zhou often burned some writing paper, which said "swan geese are in the clouds and fish are in the water, and green qi is turning heartbroken".

Zhuge Liang didn't take it seriously when he heard this incident, and thought that senior sister Zhou was also hypocritical, and he would never be like her in the future.

It seems that it is too early to speak...

Burn another slice.

I don’t know if Liu Bei can receive it, but it’s already a rule to burn it on this day every year. The outside world doesn’t know what special meaning this day has. Zhuge Liang looked up at the solemn statue above——

Today is the first day she and Liu Bei met.

Outsiders never wondered about this, and Jiang Wei didn't even know it. It was rumored that Emperor Zhaolie visited the thatched cottage three times, and saw Mr. Wolong's respectable face only the third time, but it was the beginning of spring, and everything recovered.

It is not spring.

Only Zhuge Liang knew that she and Liu Bei met for the first time in Xuzhou. She had a very deep memory of that day, and the days of fleeing are always unforgettable.In comparison, she found that the day of reunion was very vague.

There are many misunderstandings about this pair of monarchs and ministers.Zhuge Liang now feels that it is best to let them misunderstand.It is said that Prime Minister Zhuge worked hard and used this day to report to the late emperor every year. He counted Liu Chan and the courtiers one by one. Whoever was obedient and who was thorny and who regressed, complained about the difficulties, and finally kowtowed out. He still greeted everyone with a smile on his face.So, if you don't want the prime minister to sue in front of the late emperor, then just do your own thing.

Does this make Zhuge Cheng equivalent to the Stove Prince?Do you want to go to the prime minister's mansion to give some sweet melon gifts, so that the prime minister can say more good things when he reports?

Of course, Prime Minister Zhuge has a breeze in his sleeves. He is self-sufficient and never accepts gifts. The gifts that come to the door are always returned at double the market price, which makes everyone feel embarrassed to give them away. Who doesn’t know that a piece of clothing that the prime minister made for his precious daughter was sold by gritted teeth. I got half of the mulberry garden in exchange for it?What if everyone went to give gifts and make Zhuge Mansion poor?Is the prime minister having trouble getting by?

Liu Chan couldn't bear it when he heard about Xiangfu's recent life. He gave Zhuge Liang a batch of Shu brocades to make enough clothes, but they were sent back.

Immediately following Qiao Zhou's remonstrance, Liu Chan was very embarrassed for this matter. Later, it was not until Zhuge Zhan became the royal son-in-law that Liu Chan found a justifiable opportunity to reward him. Throw everything away in the warehouse.

This matter made Liu Chan very depressed. Since the late emperor left, this father-in-law has become more and more "business-like". It seems that there is nothing else in the world except "state affairs" and "business affairs". What is the use of this word?

If Zhao Yun is still there, he will definitely give Liu Chan a thumbs up: Your Majesty goodjob, you finally found the crux of the problem.If the first emperor is still there, you can see if she will accept what is rewarded to the prime minister.She not only dared to accept, but also dared to embezzle. For example, Zhuge Liang's Wufeng hairpin was intercepted by Zhuge Liang back then.

But now, the people in "if" are gone.

Zhuge Liang doesn't talk to people who have passed away.Contrary to everyone's imagination, she never said a word in Liu Bei's mausoleum. She came, burned, and walked silently, even though no one followed her, so she didn't have to be wary of the walls.

Think about Xuzhou, think about Nanyang, think about Sichuan and Shu, think of Yiling, think of Yong'an, and forget about it.

People live vigorously because of beauty, either wishing for beauty or remembering beauty, it is a disease to torture oneself with pain.

How many more years can I live, Zhuge Liang thought.

This fellow Sima Yi lived quite vigorously.

But today is an exception.

Zhuge Liang burned the last piece of white silk in his hand, watched it turn into ashes, and then kowtowed in front of Liu Bei's statue.

Does Your Majesty still remember the past of Tuogu in Yong'an Palace?Someone has changed.

Therefore, the minister has also changed.

The author has something to say:

The reason why the author skipped the second and third Northern Expeditions is that Baidu Encyclopedia did not write in detail...that is, there is nothing major to commemorate.The only thing worth remembering is that the two halfway quits were all due to lack of food and grass, which is directly related to the end of this section and the content of the next section.

"Concubine and concubine, restless" is a sentence that Sima Yi wrote to Cao Pi in history to persuade him to enter the table. The posthumous "Please Xuan Daxing Emperor's Legacy Form" said that "the courtiers and concubines are wailing".

Attached is the full text of Marquis Wu:

Fuwei Daxing Emperor Mairen Shude, Fu Tao has no boundaries, the sky is not hanging, and he is dying of bed and illness. On the 24th of this month, he suddenly ascended, and his ministers and concubines wailed, as if they were mourning.It was Gu's edict, which was only Taizong's, which moved the profit and loss; Bailiao mourned, and took off the clothes for three days, and it was like a ceremony after the funeral; the prefects, prime ministers, captains, and county magistrates of the prefectures took off the clothes after three days.Chen Liang personally accepted the edict, and he was in awe of the gods and dared not violate it.Please declare to follow.

From "Three Kingdoms" Volume 32 "Shu Zhi Biography of the First Lord"

Both Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are good at defending and counterattacking, which is why both of them tried hard to let the other party send troops first in the later stage.

In addition, this article always insists on not overturning the official history of the case (this requires a question mark), so if someone thinks that the last sentence "changed" refers to tx who wants to usurp power and do a big job, it can only be said that you are thinking too much... "Someone It is very clear that someone who has changed" is going to be unlucky.The old and new accounts from the first Northern Expedition must be settled together.

Sima Yi also kills many birds with one stone, no one thinks that she just wants to get back the military power.So, someone else is going to be unlucky.
