Anyone who plays politics must have the heart of a scumbag.
Being single-minded and affectionate will only lead to a miserable death in the political arena.
Of course Du Qiong doesn't know what a scumbag is.
He also didn't know some changes that were quietly taking place in Liangzhou.
Whatever happened in Hedong has not yet spread to Shu.
But in the early years, he was one of the people who persuaded Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor.
If there hadn't been some bumpkin intrusion, he would have affirmed to Qiao Zhou at some point that "the one who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye".
But in the history line where there is a certain rustic, he had another argument in front of Qiao Zhou:
Hanzhong is the place where the Han Dynasty flourished. If Hanzhong flourishes, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty.
No matter he was blinded, he saw the situation correctly, or he was proficient in the art of divination as rumored by the outside world.
Anyway, at least for now, he is right.
Feng went to Hanzhong for a tour, and then went to Nanzhong, where he won the title of Ghost King, and now he has made a big career.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty settled in Hanzhong, and the Northern Expedition led to several great victories.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty inspected Hanzhong. Not only did the queen, who had been childless, give birth to a prince, but the return to the old capital was almost completed.
The land of Longxing is truly worthy of its name.
Compared to an old fox like Du Qiong, Qiao Zhou, who is still young, looks a bit immature.
I saw him still saying somewhat seriously:
"Since Sir, you think there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, how do you view the words 'those who succeed the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye'?"
Du Qiong glanced at him and said calmly:
"Do you know where this phrase first came from?"
Qiao Zhou said without hesitation: "It is the "Spring and Autumn Prophecy"."
"Then do you know the complete origin of this phrase in "Spring and Autumn Prophecy"?"
Qiao Zhou was startled.
Du Qiong was heard saying slowly:
"After the Han family reaches the age of nine hundred and twenty, and Meng Sun dies, he will be given the title of Prime Minister to succeed the Han Dynasty. He should be Tu Gao."
While telling the complete source of this prophecy, he stared at Qiao Zhou:
"Yun Nan, let me ask you, how many years have passed since the two Han Dynasties?"
Qiao Zhou said respectfully: "Mr. Hui, it has been more than four hundred years."
"Nine hundred and twenty years old, and it's only been more than 400 years now. It's only half of it. Why are you anxious?"
Not knowing who Du Qiong was talking about was anxious, Qiao Zhou didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his head and listen.
"The so-called 'in case of the death of Meng Sun, he was given the title of successor'. This statement means that whenever the Han family is in danger, there will always be someone who will stand up and accept orders in times of crisis to extend the Han Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Du Qiong said meaningfully:
"After the Early Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu was responsible for the Zhongxing Dynasty. After the Later Han Dynasty, who dares to say that the Han Dynasty cannot prosper three times?"
Who can say for sure?
Who dares to say?
Emperor Zhaolie stood up when the Han Dynasty overthrew, and Zhuge Kongming was ordered to face the crisis. This can be said to be "in exchange for the death of his grandson, and to grant him the title of successor"?
Qiao Zhou was greatly shocked.
It turns out that this prophecy was actually interpreted in this way?
His lips moved, but for a moment he was speechless.
The room was quiet for a long time, and then Qiao Zhou sighed softly:
"Sir, what you said is so true!"
During the Han Dynasty, the theory of ghosts and gods was prevalent, and there were many people in Shu who observed astronomy and studied prophecies. Among them, Zhou Qun, Zhang Yu, Du Qiong, Li Yiqi and others were the most famous.
Before the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhou Qun once admonished Liu Bei: He can only get the land, but not the people. If he goes out with his troops, there will be disadvantages.
What he said is accurate, but it is a pity that this person has passed away.
Zhang Yu once said to people in private: At the age of Gengzi, the world will change dynasties, and the Liu family will be wiped out. The Lord has Yizhou, and after nine years, he will lose it in Yin Mao.
However, this statement was leaked out, and Liu Bei learned about it and killed him in anger.
However, his words came true one by one: Cao Pi indeed usurped the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei died after the Battle of Yiling.
As for Li Yiqi, he was asked about his luck by Liu Bei before the battle of Yiling.
Li Yiqi asked for paper and pen, and after drawing dozens of pieces of paper about soldiers, horses, and weapons, he tore them up one by one with his hands, and drew a picture of a large man. He dug the ground and buried it before leaving.
After the defeat of Yiling, the world suddenly understood the meaning of the painting.
When Liu Chan first came to the throne, the country was in danger, and everyone in the government and the public was in panic. The emperor of the Han Dynasty asked Li Yiqi again.
Li Yiqi made another painting, which showed a half-length beauty and a horse, and then disappeared.
It can be said that Du Qiong may be the only outstanding figure in Shu on the path of Zhenwei.
His words seemed to clear up Qiao Zhou's confusion, but they were actually a clear statement.
The conversation between the two people, somehow, was leaked out, and it spread throughout Jincheng as quickly as possible.
"Nine hundred and twenty years? Why didn't he just say that Liu Han can last for thousands of generations!"
When someone heard this rumor, they couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"Du Boyu (Du Qiong, also known as Boyu) used to have little contact with others and focused on studying knowledge. I thought he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but I didn't expect him to be such a flattering person!"
Then an old voice suddenly sounded: "You know nothing!"
Many people were stunned: "Tai Gong?"
The folds on his face were enough to trap mosquitoes. The old lady, who was out of breath after speaking a few words, was now full of energy:
"Du Boyu is telling you that the world situation has changed."
Probably because he spoke too hard, the old lady couldn't help but cough.
Enter his mother's!
In the past, everyone was unwilling to contribute because anyone with a discerning eye could see that after the battles of Jingzhou and Yiling, the so-called Han Dynasty was most likely just sitting back and waiting to die.
Who could have expected that first Zhuge Liang could save the dangerous egg from hanging upside down, and then Feng Wenhe would reappear as a champion?
Although the Battle of Guanzhong was not completely over, the situation between Han and Wei was already turning around.
In the past, Wei was strong and Han was weak, but now we cannot say that Han is strong and Wei is weak. At least they are equally matched.
There have been more than 400 years since the Han Dynasty. If someone can really revitalize the Han Dynasty, who dares to say that Han Zuo cannot continue for another 400 to 500 years?
Four to five hundred years!
A century-old romantic family is enough to rise and fall three or four times!
Someone asked cautiously:
"What does Grandpa mean?"
"We can't wait any longer. Even if the Han Dynasty stops at Tongguan, we can't wait any longer."
After the old man finished coughing, he accentuated his tone:
"We can wait ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, but what about fifty or even hundreds of years? Will Wei be able to destroy the Han within fifty years?"
It would be great if the Wei State was not destroyed by the Han Dynasty!
"How old is Feng Wenhe now? With him around, it's hard to say whether the Han Dynasty can destroy the Wei State, but who in the Wei State dares to say that he can compete with him?"
If we really have to be silent for fifty years, how many talents will the family have left?
You can't really expect someone with the surname Feng to be like Champion Hou, who suddenly died suddenly after the battle in Guanzhong, right?
Although everyone hopes that he will die suddenly.
Not to mention, in front of the person named Feng, there was a Han Dynasty Prime Minister who had just wiped out 50,000 of Wei's elite troops!
Thinking of this, the shadow in everyone's heart is as big as Jincheng's...
But what they didn't know was that the Han Prime Minister, who had caused a huge psychological shadow on them, was already bedridden at this time.
Chang'an is much colder than Hanzhong.
Not to mention that when Chang'an was first restored, many parts of the city were damaged by Wei thieves, and there were no conditions like those in Hanzhong, such as a heated house.
The most you can do is to light a stove inside the house, and you have to pay attention to ventilation at all times to avoid being poisoned by charcoal.
In the past few years, Zhuge Liang's health has not been very good.
In addition, he has been leading the army outside for more than half a year, and the conditions in the army are much more difficult than those in the Prime Minister's house.
When the two armies faced each other, the military affairs were heavy and mentally taxing.
Under the influence of various factors, Zhuge Liang had managed to get better health in the past few years, but in the past six months, it has deteriorated rapidly.
After entering Chang'an, the anger he had been holding back suddenly came out. Zhuge Liang's body could no longer support it, and he kept lying on the couch to recuperate, unable to see anything.
There was a creak at the door, and Feng Junhou walked in with a medicine bowl: "Prime Minister, it's time to drink medicine."
The Han Prime Minister, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, coughed twice, and then said:
"Do you want to drink medicine again? Don't let me drink this medicine again. It's of no use."
Feng Yong put the medicine on the desk and advised softly: "Drinking medicine is better than not drinking it at all."
The Han Prime Minister signaled Feng Yong to help him up and said:
"How can I still understand my body? You should tell me first, what's the situation outside?"
Putting a soft pillow on the head of the couch to make the Prime Minister sit more comfortably, Feng Junhou said:
"The situation is excellent. In the past few days, many officials in Guanzhong have not been afraid of the severe cold and have brought food and wine to the army, saying they are rewarding Master Wang."
The Han Prime Minister glanced at Feng Junhou, and a rare smile appeared on his face:
"Are you sure they are welcoming the king? Isn't it because they are afraid of riots by the farmers? In the past few years, Sima Yi has been farming in Guanzhong, and there are no less farmers than those in Hedong."
Feng Junhou:......
He laughed dryly:
"The Prime Minister loves to joke, hehe, hehe... I don't know if everyone is sincerely welcoming Master Wang?"
"As long as you know."
The Han Prime Minister was half lying on the couch, suppressed his smile, and said slowly and seriously:
"I am reminding you that Guanzhong will be the foundation of the Han Dynasty from now on. You are now in charge of everything in Guanzhong, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You must think twice before you act."
Feng Junhou nodded: "I understand."
Guanzhong has been doing business with Hanzhong and Longyou for so many years. No matter how hard Sima Yi worked in the past few years, it would be impossible to run it airtight.
It is better to believe that politicians are not political scumbags than to expect a wealthy family to be right-wing and single-minded.
Besides, Hedong and Guanzhong are only separated by a big river.
In any big family, who doesn’t have a close relationship?
Anyone who can find out what happened in Hedong should probably know it.
"In the early years, someone from Huaili, the ancestral home of the Ma family, contacted our people. This time they expressed their condolences to the soldiers."
In his early years, the Zhao Ma family represented some of the new rich and made deals with Feng Jishi.
At that time, the last remaining relationship of the Ma family in Guanzhong had been handed over to Governor Feng.
If Wei is strong and Han is weak, it won't matter whether the other party recognizes him or not.
In the current situation, as long as someone takes the lead, such as Guan Zhongshi, Li Xianglao, "eat the pot of pulp and welcome Master Wang", isn't that a matter of course?
Zhuge Liang nodded: "You have experience in running a political party, so I'm not very worried about this."
"What I am most worried about is that there are many people in the army who have higher qualifications than you. I am afraid that some people will not obey you on weekdays!"
"The prime minister is talking about Wei Wenchang and Yang Weigong, right? Don't worry, I'm not a small-minded person."
Feng Junhou helped the prime minister tuck the corners of the quilt to avoid air leakage, and replied:
"Right now, I still act in the name of the Prime Minister in the army, but they don't dare."
"What if I lose my name in the future?"
Feng Junhou paused for a moment, then looked up at the Prime Minister and found that the Prime Minister was also staring at him.
Feng Junhou lowered his head again, continued to tuck the Prime Minister's quilt, and said calmly:
"Prime Minister, although I have the power of restraint, the country has national laws and the army has military regulations. If they act without violation, I will not cause trouble for them without reason."
"Anyway, I am also a Hanjun, so I still have some magnanimity."
Hearing Governor Feng once again emphasize his character, the Prime Minister smiled knowingly:
"I do believe this. Since you can tolerate Liu Liang and Xu Xun, if those two people are serious about their behavior, you must be able to tolerate them too."
Then he softened his tone:
"It's just that these two people are both arrogant and arrogant people. If I'm not here one day, they may not be able to obey you."
Governor Feng seemed to have anticipated what the Prime Minister was going to say. He smiled softly:
"I don't care whether they obey me or not. I only care. If the Prime Minister is really gone, will they obey the Emperor?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly pointed at Feng Jishi, seemingly helpless, but actually he smiled with relief:
"You, you!"
Governor Feng pretended to be stupid and smiled blankly:
"Prime Minister, after all, I am an adult with several children. It's not like I could distinguish the situation clearly when I was young."
A few years ago, when the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, there was a distribution of rights between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shangshutai, which was directly under the emperor.
Important officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion, in that distribution of power, either concurrently served as ministers at the Chancellor's Office, or were arranged to be trusted associates of the emperor.
The only exceptions are Wei Yan and Yang Yi.
Fortunately for Wei Yan, he has a title, a general title, and his job is to lead troops, so the monk's desk doesn't matter much.
But as Yang Yi is the military commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nominally speaking, he has the most power in the Prime Minister's Mansion once the Prime Minister comes down.
Unfortunately, he has no other duties until now, and it is obvious that he is leaving it to Adou to make arrangements as he sees fit.
As for whether it is rain, dew or thunder, it depends on what Adou thinks.
It is precisely because of this that Governor Feng would say "Do you obey the emperor or not?"
"But if you really want to talk about it, the prime minister deliberately ignored Yang Yi, but actually he still had a love for his talents, right?"
When the Han Prime Minister heard this, he was slightly startled, and then raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me, what do you think?"
Governor Feng chuckled: "Polishing?"
Just two words made the Han Prime Minister smile heartily:
"Are you so sure?"
"Prime Minister, after all, I have been polished by you along the way, okay?"
The Prime Minister smiled again, and then sighed:
"It's a pity that although Mr. Wei is talented, his temperament is far inferior to yours. I'm afraid he will still insist on his own way in the end."
When Feng Junhou heard the Prime Minister's words, he didn't take it seriously:
"Prime Minister, is Mr. Yang Weigong about to reach the age of knowing his destiny? If he still persists in his own way at this age, then it can be said that his nature is hard to change."
The current Han Dynasty is not the Shu Han in the original history. To put it bluntly, if there is one more Yang Yi and one less Yang Yi, Feng Prefect does not think it has much impact.
The best thing to do is to train a few more staff officers.
Even if Wei Yan was missing, Governor Feng would not feel it was a pity.
Not to mention General Guan, Zhao Sanqian Shibao and others, my two brothers-in-law are still alive and well.
With their own help, are they still no match for Wei Yan?
He reached out and touched the medicine bowl and felt that the temperature was right. Feng Jishi picked it up and brought it to the prime minister:
"No matter what happens to Mr. Yang Wei from now on, it cannot be controlled by others. It is his own choice. Prime Minister, why don't you drink the medicine first?"
It seemed that in the eyes of Governor Feng, the bowl of medicine in his hand was more important than Yang Yi's fate.
Seeing Feng Jishi's appearance, the Han Prime Minister knew that he had made a decision in his heart. Although he sighed a little, he did not say anything.
As his chosen successor, Feng Mingwen has done a good enough job. Since he already has his own opinions, there is no need for him to be too demanding.
