Sure enough, just as Zhuge Liang thought, he started to argue with Rao Yang as soon as he entered his mansion. Rao Yang was very angry, pointed at him, and cursed rudely. After many years, she finally showed her face again.
Because of the arrogance of the eldest princess, of course, the reason why she was angry was also very simple. It was because of Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Liang himself came back, but Zhuge Zhan was left by him in the snowy field outside the Great Wall.
"How could you let him stay alone?!" Rao Yang asked angrily, remembering that her beloved was all alone outside the Great Wall, suffering the attack of the cold winter, her eyes filled with mist of tears, she
I haven’t seen my son for four years. If you come back on your own without taking your son with you, what are you doing here?
Zhuge Liang wisely did not argue with her. Years of experience told him that no matter what he said, it would not work. Rao Yang could always find some weird reasons to refute himself. Zhuge Zhan had grown up and he needed to
The only way is to experience more suffering. Only those who experience suffering can grow up quickly. There is no other way.
He ignored Rao Yang's questions and sat in the courtyard, just drinking tea. Finally, Rao Yang burst into tears helplessly, and even his little daughter cried together. Zhuge Liang finally couldn't sit still anymore and stepped forward to help him up.
Wife, "Don't worry, he will be back soon. Your Majesty has sent someone to replace him. Alas..." Zhuge Liang sighed, and he didn't know why, but after hearing his words, Rao Yang finally
It became quiet.
The emperor gave him ten days of leave so that he could spend time with his family and have a good rest.
In fact, Zhuge Liang only rested for two days. On the third day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to his house. Rao Yang was very happy and asked his servants to prepare some food to entertain Hu'er. Hu'er was also following him
There was a young man who was said to be the prince of the East Palace. Zhuge Liang recognized him. He was a good young man. It was said that he had a background in military science. He later made great achievements in the Southern Army. He was named Jiang Wei.
"My lord, I heard that my father wants to take action against Guishang. Is your lord personally responsible for this matter?"
"I am responsible...Your Highness, but how did Your Highness know about this?"
"My father told me, sir, is there any chance that I can go to the battlefield? I also want to conquer Kushan."
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said seriously: "Of course, if His Highness can go to Liangzhou with the old minister, it will be a morale-boosting thing for the local people and the military..."
"I don't want to go to Liangzhou, I want to go to Guishang. I will definitely be able to win the first prize." Hu'er slapped his chest, sounding particularly confident. Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Highness
I know his bravery, but Kuishan is weak and vulnerable. The real danger does not come from the enemy, but from the heat, wild beasts, miasma, etc., where it is easy to contract diseases... The danger comes from
Intangible..."
"I think your majesty is so brave. If you encounter such an invisible danger in Guishang, it will be a pity if you are critically ill at home and unable to get up." Zhuge Liang said slowly, and sure enough, when Zhuge Liang said this
Afterwards, Hu'er couldn't help but tremble when he thought of how sick he was lying on the bed. Instead of talking about these things, he asked: "I heard that the Kushan army even kept wild beasts in captivity to fight?"
"Yes, there is a ferocious beast in Kushan, called Shizi. In the first year of Emperor Xiaozhang's reign, the Anxi Kingdom sent this beast to the court. After that, when they conquered Kushan, the Kushan people also paid tribute to this beast.
,This beast is so powerful..."
Hu'er listened attentively and then asked a few more questions. Zhuge Liang could answer Hu'er's questions fluently, no matter what they were about, as if there was nothing he didn't know. Zhuge Liang's performance made Hu'er even more admired.
, After chatting for a long time, Hu'er looked at Jiang Wei standing aside with a smile, and asked: "Sir, can I, the scholar, stay with you and learn the principles of governance?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at the young man standing behind him, "Please forgive me for being rude. I already have a disciple. What's more, I will be extremely busy these days and will have no chance to teach others..." For him
Even though Hu'er felt a little regretful about his answer, he didn't try to persuade him any further.
"Then if you go to Liangzhou, who should be allowed to stay and govern in this temple?" Hu'er asked again.
"Of course Sima Linggong will be in charge."
"He? Haha..." Hu'er snorted coldly. For some reason, he seemed a little hostile to Sima Yi.
For a period of time that followed, Hu'er stayed with Zhuge Liang. Until Zhuge Liang officially started working, Hu'er didn't dare to bother him anymore.
In January of the 21st year of Yankang, the world outside the Great Wall once again ushered in a cold and freezing world. In addition, he also ushered in a young man who was ready to show off his talents. Yuan Yao was wearing a thick cotton coat.
Like a bear, he had previously received the emperor's edict and set out from the sea. After arriving in Ningzhou, he rushed non-stop to the first city outside the Great Wall.
This place is called Pingdong County. The thick snow on the ground does not have any traces of trampling. This proves that the population here is not large. There are not many people walking around at the moment. Yuan Yao and his people are like this.
He walked casually into the county town, and no one came out to question who he was, and no one stopped him. On top of the city wall, two soldiers could vaguely be seen warming themselves by the fire, stamping their feet from time to time, but looking at the people below.
Pedestrians paid no attention.
Arriving at the county government office in this way, Yuan Yao got off his horse, walked up and knocked on the door.
The gate of the county government office was closed, which made Yuan Yao feel a little funny. He had never seen such a weird thing all the way from overseas. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one even opened the door. What kind of county government is this? What if?
If something goes wrong at this moment, or if people come to ask for help, is this how the government will treat them? Yuan Yao frowned and beat for a long time.
Several curses were heard from the county government office, as well as the sound of footsteps trampling on the snow.
"What are you knocking here so early in the morning?! It's not time to give out porridge yet!" A clerk walked out of the door and cursed angrily. When he saw Yuan Yao and his group, he was stunned immediately.
Frowning, he looked at him and asked cautiously: "May I ask, who are you gentlemen?"
"I am Yuan Yao."
"Yuan...Yuan Junshou??", the man suddenly woke up. Zhuge Liang built a total of forty-seven cities outside the Great Wall during this expedition. He used Pingdong City as the seat of governance and established Xiajun. Different cities were led by different
The state came to support them, such as the whereabouts of prisoners, but as the cities of Xia County, these counties had to obey the prefect. Before Yuan Yao arrived, there was only one Zhuge Zhan who served as the false governor, that is, the "temporary prefect"
.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yuan! Mr. Zhuge often mentioned your affairs to us!" The clerk was very happy and took Yuan Yao into the office. Yuan Yao looked at the empty county government office and asked: "You are the only one in the county government office? Haven't there been enough officials yet?"
"It's been made up. It's been too cold these days, so Zhuge Jun asked them to go back and rest... leaving me alone to receive outsiders... However, few people will do it at this time. Let's go out...", the little official said, asking Yuan Yao to wait for a moment, and he ran to the backyard. Yuan Yao waited for a long time, and then he saw Zhuge Zhan yawning and walking towards him in a daze. Came over.
Zhuge Zhan was obviously very happy to see his old friend again. He opened his hands and walked over with a smile, wanting to give Yuan Yao a big hug.
"Come here! Get it for me!" Yuan Yao shouted angrily.
In Zhuge Zhan's astonished eyes, two elite soldiers jumped out from behind Yuan Yao and directly pressed Zhuge Zhan and the officials to the ground. Zhuge Zhan couldn't help but tremble and shouted: "Yuan Yao, it's me!" The ground is too cold, let me go!!" The junior official was so frightened that he did not dare to speak and begged for mercy again and again. Yuan Yao then looked at the soldiers on the side and said, "Let that junior official take you to the general. All the officials in the county are called over to me!"
"How can the salary of the food king be reduced by the cold?"
"I will stand here and wait for them... Those who refuse to obey will be punished on the spot!"
"Here you go!"
Seeing Yuan Yao's men escorting the junior official away, Zhuge Zhan understood Yuan Yao's plan in his heart. Although he was lazy, he was still very smart. He raised his head helplessly and said tremblingly: "You Even if you want to establish your authority, don't use me to establish your authority... After more than ten years of friendship, you are using me like this!" Seeing Zhuge Zhan's trembling look, Yuan Yao didn't say much and frowned. He raised his eyebrows and said seriously.
"You really put Master to shame!"
"Is it because Master Shijun asked you to stay here just to manage the border fortress like this? The roads are now heavily snow-covered, and even if other states have to transport food, I feel like the carriages can't even drive in. Also, the soldiers on the city walls, What are you doing? I brought people in, but no one checked. What if they are from Xianbei? There is only one person left in the county government office. You are really a genius... What if something happens?"
"It's winter now, and even thieves don't dare to go out. What you said can't happen!" Zhuge Zhan was not convinced.
"I don't care whether the thief will go out, but I know that the officials of the Han Dynasty can leave the city... If you read more, you will know that in Xinxun County not far away, there is a temple with Seven officials were frozen into sculptures there..."
"Okay, no need to say more, it's my fault...Although nothing happened during this period...", Zhuge Zhan said nonchalantly, with a hint of sleepiness in his eyes, and finally sent him away. Father, he doesn't want to continue to listen to others educating him. Even if he is neglectful, nothing will happen to him. He clearly knows the severity, he thought.
Yuan Yao sighed and said nothing more.
After a while, the officials from the county government rushed to the place. They bowed to Yuan Yao and then stood in front of Yuan Yao according to their official positions. Two soldiers also left carrying their bloody heads. Arriving in front of Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao squinted his eyes, looked at everyone, and said: "Zhuge Zhan asked you to go home without permission. If you neglect political affairs, you should be executed according to the law. However, considering that he is not the official county guard... you will be exempted from the death penalty. Immediately remove him from office and expel him from Xia County!"
Zhuge Zhan raised his head, feeling extremely happy that he was finally leaving here??
Yuan Yao looked at the rest of the people and said seriously: "From today on, I will personally lead you to manage this land. I will not rest for a day. Whether it is clearing the snow or rescuing the victims, I will be there."
At the forefront... I, Yuan Yao, swear to God that within five years, I will definitely make this place prosperous and stable! No need for relief from other states and counties! If I can't do this, I would rather spend my whole life shepherding sheep here!!"
At this moment, Zhuge Zhan suddenly discovered that the gangster from Luo County in the past was actually emitting a light that lived up to his name.
