[Three Kingdoms] Married the Prime Minister

"Ge Lao, where are you going to buy fish?" On the way back, Liu Chan met Liu Tu, the commander of the imperial capital, who was leading a team of city guards, all of whom were young and handsome, with red robes and black armor, and brocade hats and sable furs. , is really heroic.

Liu Chan responded with a smile, and raised a river fish in his hand. It was just caught in the morning, and it was very fresh. It was tied on the grass rope and was still flicking its tail.

"Commander Liu has worked hard, let's go patrol the city, the old man has gone back to the house." Liu Chan said.

Liu Tu hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want someone to escort you?" After all, the chief minister of the cabinet is quite old, and he is a veteran of the three dynasties. But he is the only one to ask.

"It's okay, the old man can still walk." Liu Chan waved his hand, bid farewell to the guards and continued to walk home.

Liu Tu hesitantly rode away, walked a few steps, still worried, and sent someone to Ge Lao's mansion to ask if Liu Ge Lao returned home safely, it can be said to be very considerate.

If Liu Chan were to know, it would be necessary to praise him as "prudent and appropriate", His Majesty really did not choose the wrong person.Liu Tu is not an ordinary leader, but a royal family. His grandfather was the adopted son of the empress, and his grandmother was born in a prominent royal family. Even such a family background is already prominent, but his father, Liu Qi, was appointed by the former emperor's Princess Qinrui, which is very serious. Royal blood.

Liu Tu was appointed a marquis when he was young, but it was just a false name. This young man was unwilling, so he begged his parents, and finally became a guard in the palace. He started from a small guard and made it to the current imperial city. command.The first emperor loves this little grandson very much, even now His Majesty trusts this nephew very much, the young man has a bright future.

Liu Chan sighed and walked back to the mansion slowly.He was getting old, and a few days ago he even begged to beg for an official position, but was kept by His Majesty, but Liu Chan knew in his heart that the position of chief assistant would eventually be given up to the younger emperor's confidant.At this age, he is an extremely human minister, and he has nothing to love about power.

As for the children and grandchildren, he has always been blessed with many sons. There are five sons alone, and more than a dozen grandchildren. Last year, he even embraced his great-grandson.The two generations of His Majesty have taken care of their own family, which is already very good. Should they be asked to find a way to settle them one by one?It's really too full to be idle, and the children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

For a person of his age and power, he should get up early in the morning to buy a fish, ask the chef to chop the head of the fish and make soup, steam the body, serve with two vegetables, and then squint under the tree, get up and drink Sip tea and have a good meal.In the afternoon, go to tease the children and grandchildren, or visit old friends, and wait until the evening to have a reunion dinner with the family.

Immortals don't change these days, he really is a pleasure-seeking person, tsk, what's wrong with pleasure?He is not those Confucian scholars who are stupid in reading.

One needs to be content, just like when the first emperor was still the crown prince, he followed the other party with unswerving determination.So when it comes to talent, there are far more talented people than yourself. In the end, after Prime Minister Fazheng passed away, the late emperor still chose him to succeed him as prime minister.Before the change, Liu Chan didn't dare to think about this position. After all, he is not a child anymore, and he knows his father and life experience.

Based on the hole that Liu Bei dug for Liu Yue back then, it was considered good that he hadn't been killed. In the end, it was because of Zhao Yun's face that Liu Yue stayed and let him grow up with the prince.

But who made Liu Wei not mind, and he grew up with Liu Wei, even when the prince was demoted, he always followed him.After all, Liu Bei's matter is the grievance of the previous generation, and the previous generation has been gone for a long time, who can stop the current Majesty?

Liu Chan knew that he was not an extremely resourceful person, so he acted cautiously in the position of prime minister, fearing that there might be some omissions, so he humbly asked for advice.After doing this for more than ten years, he has gained the reputation of being stable and mature. Although he is not as good as Prime Minister Zhuge and has not achieved much, it is still enough to shock the world and make the officials respect him.

To be honest, with Liu Wei's character, it is fortunate that he is the prime minister.Any aggressive prime minister would argue with this powerful emperor, or maybe this is the reason why Liu Wei chose himself as the prime minister?

Therefore, when the first emperor proposed to abolish the post of prime minister, Liu Chan immediately agreed, and stood on Liu Wei's side above the court, persuading all the officials to agree.Relying on the guilt and gratitude of the first emperor, he took a place in the newly established cabinet, and after Liu Wei's death, he became the chief assistant to the next emperor, who is now His Majesty.

Liu Chan is not in love with power, he is still so stable and mature, and never tries to suppress the new emperor with his own identity.Therefore, the new emperor reciprocated and treated him with great reliance, so much so that even the descendants of the family were granted titles and official positions.Liu Chan didn't mind either, he always felt that he should learn from Jia Wenhe as a human being.

When the prince was demoted back then, Jia Xu was the prince's teacher, so he also mentioned a few words to Liu Chan, which really benefited him for life.

Follow the trend, retreat bravely, the so-called good death is nothing more than that.

Liu Chan handed the fish to the servant, walked slowly under the tree, slept on the bamboo couch, stared at it, and began to doze off.Everyone in the family knew his habit, and no one dared to disturb him. Even the servants walked around and took it easy.

As soon as he fell asleep, Liu Chan dreamed of many strange things.

The most surprising thing is that his father, Liu Bei, took Jingzhou smoothly, and there was no Liu Yue to disturb the situation. Even the former Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was his father, who made suggestions for him, first went to Jingzhou, then took Yizhou, and Allied with Wu to fight against Cao, named king and general.

Until the death of General Guan, his father sent out troops in anger. As a result, he fell into Lu Xun's plan and returned in a big defeat. He died of illness in Baidi City.Looking at the scenes in front of him, Liu Chan was almost speechless in shock, but he heard Liu Bei on the sick bed waving and calling him over——

Apart from their father and son beside the sick bed, only Zhuge Liang was left.

Liu Chan watched his father explain the funeral, and entrusted Yizhou and himself to the prime minister. Seeing the next life revealed, he said desperately: "If he is not talented, you can replace him."

If it was Liu Chan when he was young, he might not understand it well, but he has been an extremely powerful minister for decades, and he has become a mature man, how can he not understand the weight of these words?Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw that Zhuge Liang's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly recovered.The man took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed to show his loyalty, his voice was mournful, like weeping blood.

Yes, this is the first prime minister.Liu Chan secretly sighed, the prime minister said he was unparalleled in resourcefulness, but he was rigid and stubborn; Be consistent and never betray.

This is true for Liu Yue, and it is also true for Liu Bei. It is a daydream to expect him to rebel and take it upon himself.It's not that he is not capable enough, or that he is trying to gain fame, but that he has an almost pathological pursuit of the so-called "Tao" by the scholar-bureaucrats - this is true for the country, the people, and the lord.

That's all, anyway, Liu Chan in the dream couldn't control his body, he could see and hear, but he couldn't do anything.He watched helplessly that the conflict between himself and the prime minister was getting bigger and bigger, but he didn't dare to confront him head-on.The Liu Chan in the dream hated Zhuge Liang, and maybe there was a little awe and dependence in the hatred, very complicated emotions.

But the young emperor didn't understand these things. He only knew that his power had been divided up, but he also knew that he really couldn't manage Yizhou well, and he couldn't command all the officials to deter Cao Wei.If it weren't for Zhuge Liang to sit in the town and replace him, it is estimated that the Shu Han would be defeated in two or three years.

The prime minister takes care of everything and does everything by himself, but His Majesty does nothing, like a walking seal.If he didn't understand that Zhuge Liang had no rebellion, he might be another Cao Mengde.

In the dream, Han Emperor Liu Chan's grievance reached the extreme, and Zhuge Liang finally exhausted himself to death on the front line.At that moment, the little emperor couldn't tell whether he was more relaxed or more frightened.But he really couldn't cry, and his heart was full of grief. Zhuge Liang was a pillar to him, more like a second father.

The hatred and depression in the past, after hearing the news of the prime minister's death, there is only sadness.Liu Chan may not be a wise person, but he is not a cunning and cruel person. Death is like a lamp going out. Liu Chan doesn't mind giving his father enough respect.

However, Zhuge Liang was dead, but those courtiers still refused to accept Liu Chan.

Fei Yi became a peacemaker in the court, while Jiang Wei inherited Zhuge Liang's will to make a northern expedition, clamoring every day to attack Cao Wei and impeach his servant Huang Hao.The little emperor managed to monopolize the power, but he didn't know what to do, or maybe he had already understood that the Northern Expedition was impossible.

Wei Guo will break through Yizhou one day, but sooner or later.

In fact, Wei's army invaded Yizhou earlier than he thought.When Deng Ai fell into the army, Liu Chan watched himself abandon the city and surrender, and became the county magistrate of Anle. It is peaceful to grow old, but it has also been controlled by others for a lifetime.

In this life, I never let myself decide.

Liu Chan looked at himself in the dream and slowly closed his eyes, crystal tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, dripping down his cheeks along the old wrinkles, dripping and drowning on the bed.Then, the dream ended abruptly, and he woke up from the nightmare, clutching his chest and getting up.

"Weng Weng?" The eight-year-old grandson held a bamboo ball, looked up at him, rolled his eyes with a smile, shook the bell in the bamboo ball, and said softly, "Weng Weng, play with the ball."

The youngest daughter-in-law came with her maid, with a shame on her face, and apologized, because she didn't manage her son well, disturbed the father-in-law to take a nap, and quickly reached out to take the naughty son away.

"Hey." Liu Chan waved his hand, smiled and said: "What a big deal, the family doesn't talk about each other, you go and prepare lunch, leave Jin'er to play with me for a while, and return the son to you later. "

How could the youngest daughter-in-law dare to say no, she took the maid down to prepare.

Liu Chan was still half lying on the couch, his back was covered in cold sweat, his mouth was still dry, but he cheered up his little grandson.The bamboo balls jingle, jingle, jingle, like the bells of the prime minister's funeral, and the white paper money all over the sky...

Fortunately, it was just a dream. Even in this dream, he became the emperor, it was still a nightmare.

Not everyone can be an emperor. For example, the first emperor Liu Wei was a natural emperor, so he absolutely cannot be an emperor.Not only because of Tianzhi's relationship, but because this heart is not the heart of an emperor, and because of the situation at that time, no one can turn the tide.

It's still a good day.

Liu Chan settled down and went to eat with his grandson in his arms.The millet porridge was still warm and sweet, the fish head soup was stewed deliciously, the fish meat was firm and firm, and the fruits and vegetables were fresh and delicious, which made him very comfortable to eat.

"Where is Ah Weng going in the afternoon?" Xiu Mu's son at home picked up the spoon respectfully, and added another bowl of porridge to Liu Chan, "Do you want a servant to accompany you?"

"Just prepare a carriage." Liu Chan said casually.

After eating, he took a walk in the yard to digest food. Liu Chan went into the house to take a bath and change clothes, and burned incense to inhale the fragrance. Then he got into the carriage and went straight to the ancestral hall of Marquis Zhongwu.

The first prime minister and the empress were buried together to share the incense of the later generations, but it is not easy for people to go there on weekdays.Liu Chan's status was outstanding, that's why he was not stopped. After entering the hall, he knelt down respectfully and saluted before getting up to offer incense to the memorial tablet.

The fragrance wafted up, and through the layers of smoke, Liu Chan's heart was completely quiet.

He slowly turns away—

"Fortunately, that was just a dream, Xiangfu."
