Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

It is said that Xiaobie is better than newlyweds, but when I traveled across mountains and rivers to meet my husband whom I had not met for two years, I no longer knew him.

Who can tell me from which corner this dark-skinned, unshaven, dust-masked old man in front of me is a savage?As for the handsome uncle, his unsightly appearance can easily smash my yearning heart into scum.

It's a pity that Kong Ming didn't receive my disgust light wave at all. He thought he was still the handsome gentleman who everyone wanted to take home and beautify the environment. He rushed over without knowing it, and then kissed me in public .

!!!

I instantly petrified in the wind.

Nima, the officials of the entire northern barbarian government are staring at him, are they sure that this bastard who rushes to kiss him indiscriminately when they meet is Zhuge Kongming?He should have been worn by someone too!

I thought my husband was a person who wanted to save face until he died. This can be seen from his dressing style for decades. Even in the hottest summer, he stubbornly wrapped himself up tightly. He would never secretly cut the crown a few inches short like Liu Xi did.

I really can't imagine that Kong Ming, who has always insisted on taking the male god line, suddenly became a male nerve.

This is definitely the wrong crew!

Kong Ming laughed: "Did you get kissed?"

Faced with dozens of pairs of eyes around me, I belatedly realized that my cheeks were a little hot.It is considered disrespectful to be old and married when no one else shows affection; knowingly kissing me shamelessly in public is considered immoral...

Kong Ming sighed deeply, and said in a low voice: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

Understand in seconds.

This unscrupulous Liu Xi actually gave such a shameful order to Kong Ming, next time I see him, I must make him look good!I do what I say!

It's a pity I won't be seeing him anytime soon.

"So, did Liu Xi plan to keep Zhan'er in Luoyang?" Kong Ming told me about Liu Xi's plan when he sent his servants away in the evening. Emperor, are you right?" If the expression on Kong Ming's face at this moment is not rare serious, I almost think he is teasing me.

Don't blame me for shouting, this news is really appalling.No matter how Liu Xi's throne is passed on, the new emperor should have the surname Liu, and it will never fall to the surname Zhuge.

"I was just guessing before, but after observing the behavior of the emperor, I can't help but become more and more convinced." Arguing about imperial power is a serious crime that will lead to death, and it is related to the eldest son who is connected by blood. The flash of inspiration was extraordinarily cautious, "At the beginning, I also thought it was a fantasy. Even if Zhan'er misbehaved, the emperor would not let him be unrestrictedly willful. But the emperor left too many clues, even if I You deliberately avoid suspicion, and you can't turn a blind eye to the evidence that is right under your nose."

After experiencing the initial shock, Kong Ming bravely chose to face the reality.He never thought that running away would solve the problem.

According to Kong Ming, the just-concluded Battle of the Northern Barbarians was originally unnecessary.With the military and financial resources of Ping'an Han, there are tens of thousands of ways to get Shi Yan from the leader of the northern barbarians. There is no need to work hard to carry out the Northern Expedition. Other reasons such as transferring/teaching the three Liu Xi brothers are even more untenable.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Xi really had a reason to send troops to the northern barbarians, there was absolutely no need for him to go on the expedition himself.Whether it is Kong Ming, Guo Jia or Pang Tong, they can open up territory for Ping'an Han, backed by the deterrence of red cannons, even if He Dacheng is the coach, there is a great hope of winning, Liu Xi really doesn't need to do it himself.

Kong Ming believes that Liu Xi's insistence on enlisting himself is mainly to make room for Zhuge Zhan: "On the one hand, it is to try Zhan'er to see if he can suppress the undercurrents in the court, and on the other hand, it is to let go of Zhan'er's hands and feet. Let him have the opportunity to install his own eyeliner and cronies in the palace."

His timing is very clever.As the most honorable princess of the Pingan Han Dynasty, I hold real power in my hands, and it was impossible for me to be ignorant of Zhuge Zhan's actions, but Zhuge Gu was born just in time, so I couldn't afford to sacrifice my previous sensitivity.

According to Kong Ming's speculation, Zhuge Zhan seized the short few months to initially arrange and complete his own network of influence. "The emperor insisted on sending the three Liu brothers and I out of the same considerations. Now that even you have come to Beiman, there is no one in Luoyang who can stop Zhan'er from doing what he is doing."

Thinking back carefully now, it was indeed very suspicious that Liu Xi insisted on asking Kong Ming to lead the army to go out regardless of my imminent delivery.Although Liu Xi and others do not have the talents of emperors, they have many in-laws and followers in the court, and they are the most popular candidates for the heir. Fishing in troubled waters.

There is some truth to the saying that I was pregnant and stupid for three years. At least after Kong Ming reminded me, I suddenly realized that Zhuge Zhan’s demolition of the official’s house was not entirely for the purpose of killing chickens and gaining prestige. The more important purpose was to observe the attitude of civil and military officials towards him. In order to attack dissidents more accurately in the next step.

Kong Ming and I have never taught him such a trick of turning one's hands into clouds and covering hands into rain, but he only relies on the few words Liu Xi intentionally or unintentionally leaked in his daily life to draw inferences from one another and apply it. What expression.

Kong Ming sighed: "Now it seems that the emperor decided to train Zhan'er as the crown prince since he was young, but we were all blindfolded by the friendship between nephew and uncle, so we didn't realize it."

Who would have expected that Liu Xi, who has been emphasizing for many years that he will choose the best to adopt the emperor's heir at the right time, would have duplicity, and finally decided to let his nephew with a distant blood sit on the dragon chair?But any aboriginal of the Three Kingdoms with a little brain would not believe that there would be such a heartless emperor in the world who would hand over the hard-earned country to someone with a foreign surname to inherit—the ancients believed in reincarnation, and they also valued sacrifices. If Zhuge Zhan As the emperor, he and his descendants should worship the ancestors of the Zhuge family in the imperial temple in the future, not the Liu family who can only be called "foreign relatives".So even though Liu Xi's mind was not without a clue, and there were even specious rumors once spread, not many people really believed that he would be willing to be a lonely ghost who could not enjoy royal sacrifices after death.

The most unreliable thing in this world is friendship.Even if Zhuge Zhan is grateful for the kindness of Liu Xi's succession to the throne, and keeps him alive for the rest of his life, what about after Zhuge Zhan dies?Zhuge Zhan's sons and grandsons have never received Liu Xi's great kindness. Hundreds of years later, will the descendants of Zhuge's family still willingly bow three times and nine times to Liu Xi's memorial tablet?

What's more, civil and military officials will not agree.

Wu died and Wen died to remonstrate, I dare to pat my chest and bet that once Liu Xi proposes the Zen position, there will be many more corpses of remonstrators outside the Jinluan Hall.Zhuge Zhan is just a child who has not reached the weak crown, neither surnamed Liu nor proud achievements, how can he be able to become a great treasure?If Liu Xi insists on letting the virtuous, he should choose capable ministers like Guo Jia, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong who have made great contributions to Ping'an Han, instead of the stunned young man who has never presided over a battle even though he holds the title of general.In terms of blood, Zhuge Zhan is not as good as Liu Xi brothers, in terms of merit Zhuge Zhan is not as good as the hundreds of officials promoted by military merits, in terms of talent Zhuge Zhan has not even dared to take the imperial examination. How can Liu Xi send such a person to the supreme position of the people? ?

"Isn't he really crazy?" Even though the facts are in front of me, I still instinctively refuse to believe, "This is really unbelievable."

Kong Ming said sadly: "I thought it was impossible, so even though I noticed the emperor's strange attitude towards Zhan'er many times, I didn't think about it."

But Liu Xi asked Kong Ming a multiple-choice question on the way to conquer the Northern Man: "You can choose whether to make Zhuge Zhan the emperor, or let your second son be the emperor." Liu Xi said frankly to Kong Ming that before he left Luoyang The arrangements have been made. If I successfully give birth to a baby boy, I will be carried into Liu Xie's residence and become the youngest son of an aunt named Zhao.

"She is the nail that the emperor buried next to the prince in the early years. When you found out about the pregnancy a few months ago, she immediately lied that she was pregnant. Since then, she has been waiting in the mansion for delivery. According to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, the expected date of delivery is very close to yours." Kong Ming said helplessly. "If I choose Zhan'er, or if you give birth to a baby girl, Aunt Zhao will have an accidental miscarriage, and the pregnancy will be wiped clean. If I choose Gu'er, the emperor will give birth to Aunt Zhao's child." 'Adopted to the palace to raise him, and opened the royal genealogy to record him as the prince."

Liu Xie has rich heirs in history. In this life, he has no persecution from his old enemy Cao Cao. After giving up the throne to his well-connected younger brother, he has a chance to show his ambitions. With a happy mood, the family affairs are more harmonious. The youngest son born in the past two years is a Jump out one by one.It is said that there were three aunts in Liu Xie's mansion who were pregnant with me one after the other. Aunt Zhao was not conspicuous, and no one had ever mentioned her news to me.

However, considering Liu Xi's character, it is quite normal for him to have an eyeliner in Liu Xie's mansion.

With Kong Ming's thinking of the ancients, he couldn't understand Liu Xi's stubbornness in having to choose one of my children to pass on. He was more inclined to think that Liu Xi was forcing him to support Zhuge Zhan: "The emperor likes Zhan'er so he insists on passing on to him. , Gu'er is just a baby who is still in his infancy, his temper and temperament are not clear at all, the emperor may not like it. What he said is just a warning to me, if I disagree with Zhan'er, I will take it out on Gu'er." He didn't think that Liu Xi would really leave Zhuge Gu behind, and he thought that Aunt Zhao's fake pregnancy was fabricated by Liu Xi to deceive him, "If you just want a young heir, the prince's family has seven or eight unremembered children to choose from. There will be more in the future. There is no need for the emperor to expose Aunt Zhao's hidden nail in vain, just to pretend that a child named Zhuge is the prince. What's more, the child's gender is unknown before the child lands, and it is very possible to get out of Aunt Zhao's move ahead of time. Come back with success."

Liu Xi's attitude is very tough, it seems that the right to choose is in the hands of Kong Ming, but in fact he has no choice.Being driven to a dead end by Liu Xi's psychopath, Kong Ming's eyes were full of pain.

Looking at the huge Ping'an Han, I am afraid that only I can understand Liu Xi's feelings for Zhan'er and Gu'er.Probably in his heart, only me and my children are his real relatives, others like Liu Xie and Liu Xi will never be able to really touch Liu Xi even though they bear the names of relatives of the emperor.

Maybe one day, Liu Xi will tell Zhan'er and Gu'er about her and I's past before time travel, and I believe they can understand our incredible experience.Zhuge Zhan's language style is already modern, and his thinking is also very different from that of the natives of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Xi can see his own shadow in him, and the future Zhuge Gu will also be the same.

Putting aside personal emotional factors, Liu Xi chose Zhuge Zhan because he believed that he could develop Pingan Han according to his ideas.Zhuge Zhan is by far the person who can best understand Liu Xi's philosophy of governing the country.

But as a mother, I don't want my children to swim in the muddy waters of the throne.The situation above the temple is turbulent, and if he is not careful, he will die without a place to bury him. Even if Zhuge Zhan really climbed to the high position worshiped by thousands of people, how can he be as carefree as the dandy clan like the idle clouds and wild cranes?It's a pity that neither Zhuge Zhan nor Liu Xi intends to pay attention to my loving mother.

The next day after arriving in Beiman, I received a letter from Luoyang. Zhuge Zhan told me in a relaxed tone that the emperor had granted him a marriage.Although there is a guarantee of Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Jiashu will be a beautiful woman in ten chances, but if Ma Chao is not proud of being in the court, how can Zhuge Zhan marry him willingly?

Now in the hands of Ma Chao, he controls the [-] imperial guards who are related to the lifeline of Ping'an Han.

Under Kong Ming's command, there is also an expeditionary force of 12 guarding Beiman.

Under the eyes of civil and military officials, Liu Xi paved the way for Zhuge Zhan's future, completely keeping the officials in the dark.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, I think, the new era can't wait to be on the stage of history.
