"Zhongda, I will report to Your Majesty... Besides, Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king. He will never send you to those places. You can rest assured and cultivate. Let me tell you, in fact, you should cultivate at home for a period of time.
Stop busying yourself with state affairs... What do you think?" Zhuge Liang asked. Sima Yi glanced at him and said, "You don't want me to cultivate and become a Situ yourself? I can tell you, even if I am ill
No matter how important it is, I will still compete with you for the position of Situ!"
"Hahaha, it's easy to say. Then take good care of your health. Let's grab the position of Situ. However, you have to be careful about the other people. Zhou Jun and Xiaozhi are in Yangzhou. Their political achievements are not as good as ours.
, and Shi Yuan, who compiled the new law with Bonin. In these years, his political achievements are also good, and he is on par with us. Lu Zijing went to Xuzhou this time. Xuzhou is already rich, and he will definitely be able to produce good results this time.
The political achievements come..."
"Sun Zhongmou is even more amazing. In these years, he has selected so many talented people from the two universities and the military academy. His vision is really vicious. There are so many talented people in the emperor's academy. Luo Tong
, Xue Zong, Yu Fan, countless talents were discovered and recommended by him, and he could always choose the most suitable place to display their talents. Luo Tong became Guo Shangshu's right-hand man at the Shangshu table, Xue Zong
When he was sent to the imperial court, Man Boning liked him very much. Yu Fan stayed in his residence and reported to the palace, and he was very close to Hua Gong..."
"It is said that when His Majesty wants to transfer officials now, he will invite Zhong Mou here and ask for his help..."
"Cao Ziheng practiced the palace guards. Even the general of the Northern Army, Guan Yu, was surprised when he saw them. He felt that these guards were not inferior to the Northern Army... There are also people like Lu Yu and Yuan Shang. Which one is worse than us?"
Sima Yi shook his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said: "Fazheng is a capable minister. He looks elegant, but in fact he is violent. He must retaliate. He is cruel. He can go to the Secretariat, but he cannot be a Situ. Zhou Yu is a descendant of Gongyang, but he
He only has strategy and short-sightedness. He can be a Taiwei but cannot be a Situ...Pang Tong is suitable to be a Situ in all aspects, but his appearance...ahem, this person can be close to the emperor, but he cannot be a Situ."
"As for Man Chong, let alone his status as a cruel official, he is too upright and not suitable to be a Situ."
"Lu Su was very talented, but he was not loved by the emperor. He was taciturn and was not close to the emperor, so he could not take on the responsibility."
"Sun Quan has the ability to recognize people, but it is a pity that as expected, his elder brother will definitely become the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, or an extremely important general. Haha, we are a family. How can it be possible that the elder brother is serving as a general outside and the younger brother is at court?
What about serving as Situ?"
"The same is true for Cao Pi. Hahaha, he is even more unlucky than Sun Quan. His elder brother is the vassal king, and the remaining younger brothers are also very good. If he is a Situ, how can the emperor survive??"
"The rest of the people, Lu Yu is not as talented as me. Since Yuan Shang has become Xiu Yi, he will never be able to sit on the position of Situ."
"So... the future Situ position will definitely be one of you and me." Sima Yi said in a low voice.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at Sima Yi in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and said: "You can see clearly, but it's still early. At our age, if we serve as Situ, wouldn't we be scolded to death by the officials...
"
"Hahaha, who dares to scold two Situ Gongs..." A burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were shocked. The door was pushed open and Xun Yu walked in, patting the snowflakes on his body and shouting.
When he saw Xun Yu in the air-conditioning, Zhuge Liang stood up quickly, but Sima Yi was a little slower and bowed to Xun Yu. Xun Yu waved his hand and asked the two to sit down, and sat beside them.
"What? Are you thinking about going back to be a Situ? Don't you take us veterans seriously?" Xun Yu asked teasingly. Zhuge Liang hesitated and couldn't speak. Sima Yi simply closed his eyes and said nothing.
, Xun Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and asked: "I understand most of the situation in Jingnan. You also need to prepare a memorial. Tomorrow, you will set off for Luoyang. The memorial is to be handed over to
Your Majesty, don’t fool me...and don’t exaggerate your political achievements..."
"Here you go!"
"I have to stay and wait for Zhong Yao to come and hand over to him before I can leave... By the way, Kong Ming, those people you promoted in Jingnan can no longer hold official positions..."
"Ah?? Why is this?" Zhuge Liang was shocked. In the past few years, he was only able to manage Jingnan in an orderly manner. It was completely inseparable from that large number of talents. Relying on them, Zhuge Liang was able to achieve this goal.
With good political achievements, could it be that after he accomplished his goal, he would ruthlessly abandon them? Zhuge Liang frowned and said solemnly: "Mr. Xun, these people are all talented. What happened in Jingnan..."
"I've been in Jingzhou for so long, don't I know how they are doing? You think about it, you are not taking away their official status, you are just sending them to other places. They are originally from Jingzhou, how can you do this?
Continue to serve as a local magistrate in Jingzhou? Do you not know the laws of the Han Dynasty? These days, I have no place to put Man Chong's letters, and I have been helping you hide them. However, I have no friendship with Zhong Yao.
If you want them to live, just listen to me!"
Xun Yu was not polite at all and directly reprimanded Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang listened honestly and did not show any displeasure. Xun Yu was like an elder in front of him, and Zhuge Liang respected him extremely.
, but Sima Yi on the side couldn't sit still. He cleared his throat and said: "Mr.
He found so many talents, Duke Xun should not reprimand him..."
Xun Yu ignored the sick Sima Yi, frowned, and said seriously: "When you go to Luoyang this time, it's best not to participate in the dispute between the three princes. I heard that the three of them are now hostile to each other and fighting with each other. It's best if you go.
Just hide at home, don't go out, and don't meet them alone...Okay, I won't go on, just take care of yourself!" Xun Yu said, slowly getting up.
The two stood up and saw each other off.
On the next day, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi got into the carriage and set off back to Luoyang. What made Sima Yi unhappy was that there were no officials to escort him. He had been the governor here for so long, but there was no one to see him off. This
It would make him lose some face in front of Zhuge Liang. In order to cover up this embarrassment, Sima Yi could only tell Zhuge Liang that he had already ordered those people not to escort him. Zhuge Liang nodded thoughtfully.
Sima Fu also returned with Sima Yi, while Sima Lang had already returned to Luoyang.
The distance between Jingzhou and Luoyang is not that far, especially now that the Han Dynasty is connected in all directions, and the time spent on the road has been greatly reduced. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi traveled less than half a month before they arrived at Sili and rested here.
Two days later, the two arrived at Luoyang. Of course, they did not enter Luoyang City, but arrived outside Luoyang City. Luoyang is so large that it takes a day to get from outside the city to the city.
day.
No matter how familiar they are with Luoyang, people are always surprised by the changes here every time they return to Luoyang. The same is true for Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang. In a short period of time, Luoyang has once again undergone tremendous changes.
The scope of Luoyang is almost overtaking that of Henan Yin, and even outrunning Sili. This is so scary. The counties that used to be around Luoyang have now unfortunately become the countryside of Luoyang.
...How frustrating this is.
According to this trend, won't the entire Sili family have to be renamed Luoyang in the future?
Where in the world is not Luoyang??
When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers began to inspect, and even searched the inside of their carriages. The identities of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had no effect at the city gate. As long as you are not San Gong, you must be strictly inspected and cannot appear in Luoyang.
Any problem is issued by the Luoyang Order. Anyone who violates the order will enjoy the five-color stick. The usual Luoyang Order may not be taken seriously by everyone, but this time's Luoyang Order is really difficult to provoke.
In terms of background, this little Luoyang Order was able to crush countless Jiuqing. Even the irritable Situ Gong did not dare to abuse him. The former Sili Colonel was killed by the Luoyang Order when he entered Luoyang County.
Stopped, they didn't know each other, Captain Sili was furious, seeing Luoyang Ling's arrogant attitude and completely ignoring him, he angrily insulted him, and also involved his father and ancestors, so,
The Sili Colonel disappeared from the world and no one saw him again.
The newly appointed Sili Colonel Zhuge Xuan was very polite to Luoyang Order, so he could continue to serve as an official.
With the support of the Luoyang Order, the officials and soldiers in Luoyang are extremely tough, including the soldiers guarding the city gates. They are not polite to those high-ranking officials at all. Anyway, there is the Luoyang Order on top.
Of course, the dignitaries who knew the situation could only endure it. Among the ministers in the court, perhaps only Man Chong dared to provoke this person, and the rest did not have the courage.
The two were waiting for the inspection by the soldiers when they heard a cry of surprise. Three children suddenly rushed out of the city. Several soldiers shouted, and several vendors outside the city also jumped out suddenly.
The word embroidered clothes on their waists was exposed. Seeing these hawkers blocking the road, the three of them were also stunned. The embroidered clothes messengers rushed up and pushed the three people to the ground. One of them shouted: "Gentlemen, sir."
Oh! I’m here to greet my father!!”
"My father and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Today I heard that he was coming, so I hurriedly left the city. I definitely didn't mean to conflict with the elders!"
Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this familiar voice and looked over slowly.
"Zhan'er??"
Sima Yi also turned his head and widened his eyes.
