"Liu Shijun has no talent as a king, nor is he the master of bringing about chaos. This is the misfortune of the Han Dynasty, but it is also the great fortune of Jingzhou."
After listening to Liu Jing's tirade against Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang could only admire him in his heart, and the two Zhuge girls even had their eyes shining with admiration on their faces.
Zhu Ge
Is there really a gift of talent in the world? Otherwise, how would Liu Jing explain it?
The only thing that made Zhuge Xuan feel a little inappropriate was that when Liu Jing talked about Liu Biao, his words were too rough and unrestrained and lacked humility.
You must know that Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou. If Liu Jing wants to make a difference in the future, he must go to Xiangyang. Even so, he still speaks unscrupulously. This shows that he is extremely conceited. This is not a good thing, and may even lead to it.
Get into trouble.
However, these words seemed too shallow for him, and he seemed to be relying on his elders to show off his talents. He asked his nephew Zhuge Liang to find an opportunity to admonish him in private. But from his perspective, Liu Jing was modest on the outside but arrogant on the inside. I am afraid he was not able to
A person who easily listens to other people's opinions.
Liu Jing didn't know what Zhuge Xuan was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely laugh it off. This kind of thing cannot be explained. Could he say that he was not conceited, but an objective and rational evaluation from the perspective of a time traveler?
.
Of course, as a time traveler with prophetic abilities, when facing the ancients, it is inevitable that he will have a sense of psychological superiority. This is normal.
Liu Jingdao: "I wonder if Mr. Zhuge has heard that Zhu Hao and Zhu Wenming are dead."
Zhuge Xuan was Yuzhang who was driven out by Zhu Hao. The former, as a loser, survived in the end, but Zhu Hao, as a winner, lost his life. It has to be said that fate plays tricks on people.
Zhuge Xuan nodded lightly, with an unusually calm expression: "I heard about it yesterday. I never thought that he would die in the hands of his own people."
The person who killed Zhu Hao was the Buddhist leader of Xuzhou, Zuo Rong. He relied on Tao Qian, a fellow native of Xuzhou, to become the Prime Minister of Xiapi. When Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, he did not offer any resistance and fled with his people. After returning to his hometown of Yangzhou
On the way, he successively killed Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, and Zhu Hao, the prefect of Yuzhang, was the third victim.
Zuo Rong returned to his hometown of Yangzhou and joined Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao, who sent him to Yuzhang to assist Zhu Hao. At that time, Zhuge Xuan had already been defeated. Zuo Rong, coveting the Yuzhang County, repeated his old tricks and set up a Hongmen Banquet to fake the death of Zhu Hao.
After hearing the news about the death of his opponent Zhu Hao, Zhuge Xuan no longer had any hatred in his heart, but felt a bit of pity. He had only recently heard that his father Zhu Jun died of an illness in Chang'an in February this year. There was no news in Jiangnan, and he didn't know about Zhu Haolin.
Did you receive the bad news that your father passed away before you died?
Father and son both died in the same year, sad husband!
Zhuge Liang hated Zuo Rong in his heart, and said in an angry tone: "A shameless villain like Zuo Rong, who is treacherous and repays kindness with revenge, can actually run rampant in the world and do whatever he wants. What kind of sinister world is this!"
If Zhuge Liang knew that Zuo Rong would build a memorial place in later generations, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.
Zuo Rong was despicable and cruel, with his hands stained with blood. He could be called a heinous person. However, he had a very special status in the history of Buddhism. As Buddhism flourished, people like Zuo Rong actually had the opportunity to build pavilions and statues.
What a great irony.
Liu Jing advised: "Kong Ming does not need to be angry with such a villain. Ze Rong is greedy and forgets justice at the sight of profit. He is a short-sighted man. He killed Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, and Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng. That is why he is safe and sound."
, all because Tao Qian has too much time to take care of himself. Now killing Zhu Hao without permission will definitely anger Liu Yao. This man will be extinct from the world, and his time is numbered."
Zhu Ge
land."
Zhuge Liang could naturally see that, from ancient times to the present, people like this have never had a good end, and Zuo Rong's fate was already doomed. The same goes for Cao Cao.
Maybe it was because the previous topic was too serious, which made the atmosphere a little tense, but then the three of them deliberately changed the topic to talk about literature and calligraphy, which gradually relaxed the atmosphere.
Only then did the two Zhuge girls finally have a chance to speak and join the discussion among the three.
As the daughters of the Qilu Shi family, the two Zhuge girls have a very high level of education, not inferior to their sister-in-law Lai Ci.
Fortunately, he expressed early on that he "likes reading and does not stick to chapters and sentences." He took precautions in advance and directed the topic to calligraphy, which he is good at, so he did not show any timidity.
After all, Zhuge Xuan was ill. After sitting for more than half an hour, he felt mentally exhausted. Seeing Liu Jing chatting happily with his two nieces, he was moved in his heart and asked, "I wonder if Zhongda has ever been married?"
Liu Jing couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously turned to look at Zhuge Liang beside him, and saw that he also had a look of astonishment on his face.
As his mind was turning, Liu Jing said, "I have a fiancée whom my parents have cared for since I was a child. She is a girl from the Deng family in Nanyang. If nothing happens, I will get married next year."
"So that's it." Zhuge Xuan sighed inwardly that Liu Jing actually had a fiancée who was from the "Feng Clan", so he had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
The Nanyang Deng family can be regarded as one of the best in the world. It has produced two queens, but it cannot be regarded simply as a family of noble relatives. Starting from the Taifu Deng Yu, the Nanyang Deng family has always adhered to the transmission of Confucian classics for more than 100 years.
Family, this is also an important reason why they can revive after several declines.
The Deng family in Nanyang has repeatedly produced "phoenixes", and Liu Jing's fiancée must also be extremely outstanding.
The two Zhuge girls were not well-off, and their pretty faces showed disappointment.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, only felt a little regretful and quickly let it go.
To avoid embarrassment for both parties, Liu Jing took the opportunity to bid farewell to Zhuge Xuan.
Zhuge Liang also came out and went to the hall on the first floor. He solemnly apologized to Liu Jing and said, "Zhongda actually has a fiancée. If I had known earlier, this embarrassing situation would not have happened today."
Liu Jing smiled and said: "I can't blame you. Marriage by fingertips is rare in the world, and I have never mentioned it to you. Kong Ming, your two sisters are both outstanding in appearance, and they are not inferior to men in talent and learning. They are rare in the world."
As a beautiful woman, she will definitely find her right husband in the future."
"I hope it's as Zhongda said." Zhuge Liang finally smiled.
Liu Jing took a look at the inscription placed in the hall. He was hosting today and must arrive early. He said to Zhuge Liang: "It's getting late, let's set off now."
"good."
The two of them walked out of Duting Gate side by side, walked west, entered the West Market through the south gate, and followed the crowds all the way until they arrived in front of the wine shop.
In the Han Dynasty, written signs had not yet been developed. Wine shops hung a sheep-shaped wine bottle decorated with a sheep's head as a sign at the door. Even a three-year-old child knew the meaning of the wine bottle. As for why it was the image of a sheep, it was because sheep were auspicious in the Han Dynasty.
, which means auspiciousness.
There were many people in front of the wine shop, including commoners wearing simple brown clothes, merchants wearing luxurious long jackets, and even scholars wearing patterned brocade robes. They stood staggered, and the picture was surprisingly harmonious. At this moment, they
In terms of status, they are all alcoholics, and there is no distinction between them.
