In the capital city of Chengdu, there are many distinguished disciples, many of whom are doing good deeds.
The fact that Chen Zhi went to the banquet uninvited but was humiliated by Zheng Pu and returned home became the talk of the city within a day or two.
In particular, after Pang Hong stopped the banquet, he copied the "Inscription on the Humble Room" and showed it to others when he returned.
Well, it's not that he wants to invite someone better than Zheng Pu, but he is the grandson of Duke Pang De. Since the parallel prose praises the elders in the family, how can he not be happy to show his kindness?
Therefore, Zheng Pu's reputation once again had mixed reviews.
There are those who praise his literary talents; there are also those who belittle his temperament, such as being straight and narrow, having no tolerance for others, etc.
Zheng Pu was indifferent to this and dismissed it altogether.
As a human being, you just need to stick to your heart, and let others say what is right or wrong!
Ask yourself, if Chen Zhi is so aggressive, why should he compromise and be stingy and tit-for-tat?
Confucius even said, "Repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness." He was not a saint, so how could he have the consciousness to do so in spite of himself?
If you offend Chen Zhi, then you are offended! Gold, silver, wealth, and silk are still disdainful to those who live in poverty and enjoy the Taoism. How can you make everyone happy if you are born as a human being?
And the purpose of his banquet was already there.
Jufu and Liu Yin hit it off immediately, and after the banquet, they even secretly agreed to travel together. As for Zhang Biao and others, they also returned home happily, and their friendship deepened.
Life is enough if there are several people who are compatible with each other and like-minded people become friends!
There is no need to hang your eyebrows and bow down because of the dirty things in your official career.
However, even though Zheng Pu thought like this, he was still troubled.
Thanks to the many gossips about this matter, the location of his new residence was also known, and many scholars unexpectedly came to visit.
There are scholars who truly admire talents.
There are also those who seek to invite famous people to discuss matters.
Unable to bear the disturbance, Zheng Pu simply returned to the Qin Mansion.
Before Quan Dang became the acting governor, he gave Qin Mi Fuqin a reading companion and fulfilled his filial piety as a nephew in future generations.
Naturally, it is inevitable to be warned by the elders as "hard but easy to break" and so on.
However, what he didn't know was that this incident directly affected Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's view of him and the arrangement of his future responsibilities.
However, a few days ago, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang sat down with Zheng Pu for a discussion until midnight. Although he praised Zheng Pu highly for his words that "given time, he may be as good as Dharma Xiaozhi", he did not immediately implement the strategy of "extending favor" proposed by him.
.
Lao Tzu said: "Those who govern a large country are like cooking small delicacies."
"Mao Shi Gu Xun Biography" also says: "If you cook the fish, it will break into pieces. If you treat the people's troubles, they will fall apart. If you know how to cook the fish, you will know how to treat the people."
Although Zhuge Liang promoted "power through law", at this time when the people were in seclusion, he did not have the intention to implement it in a drastic way, so as to avoid making mistakes and making mistakes.
Therefore, in recent days, he has frequently summoned Chen Zhen, the minister, Shi Xianglang, the prime minister's minister, Ma Su, Jiang Wan and others to discuss day and night.
As for Zhang Yi, who joined the army and took over some of the government affairs of the prime minister's office to replace Shi Wanglian, the former chief minister of the prime minister's office who died of illness, although he was highly regarded by the prime minister, it was because he was from Chengdu, Shu County and was not among the people summoned. After all, a Yizhou scholar was allowed to join the army.
, to discuss how to swing the knife to attack the wealthy people in Yizhou, but it is ultimately difficult for others to do so.
After several days of discussion and brainstorming, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang came to a rough conclusion.
The self-recruitment system for conferring official positions should first be implemented among the nephews and nephews of the Yuan Cong and Jing Xiang families, and then other considerations will be made based on the effect.
As for finding out the lawless branch of the wealthy clan and moving to Hanzhong County for crimes, we can only do it after returning from the Nanzhong rebellion and proclaiming the military power of the imperial court that "rebels will be punished".
Therefore, it was rare for Zhuge Liang to leave work and return home during the day.
Well, in order to host a banquet, we invited Zhao Yun, the general who conquered the South.
There is a reason for being so solemn.
First, Zhao Yun deserves it.
Today, the Yuan Cong veteran with the highest qualifications, the most prestigious reputation and the most virtuous conduct in the Shu Han Dynasty is none other than him!
Moreover, he has been stationed in Chengdu. Considering his authority and trustworthiness in guarding the capital, it is not an exaggeration to call him the number one person in the army.
Another reason is that this matter requires Zhao Yun as a consultant.
In the first year of Jianxing when Liu Chan came to the throne today, Zhao Yun served as the Central Protector Army. His duties were to be in charge of the imperial army, president of generals, in charge of selecting military attaches, and supervising and controlling military generals. Although he has been moved to the post of General of the Southern Expedition, many of his powers are still under his control.
If you want to promote Jing and Xiang, and grant military positions to your nephews and nephews from the Yuan and Cong families, Zhao Yun is the best consultant.
The prime minister's residence was not built in Chengdu, but outside the city in the north, along the Zouma River.
It is more appropriate to call it a mansion than a manor.
Because when the former leader Liu Bei settled in Shu, he originally wanted to give the middle houses in Chengdu and the mulberry fields outside the city to the generals. However, Zhao Yun remonstrated on the grounds of "returning to the fields and houses to calm the people's hearts." Instead, he gave other land to the heroes to build residences.
.
Zhuge Liang was originally elegant and broad-minded, advocating indifference and clarity of purpose for self-cultivation, so he chose the place to live by the water and overlooking the mountains.
Later, surrounding acres were gradually awarded, forming a pattern in which a mulberry garden can be seen in the criss-crossing of the fields, and the eaves of the house can be seen within the mulberry garden.
All the way along the sparse fence, you can see mulberry trees and lush flowers. The Zouma River is like a silver ribbon, twisting and flowing under the stone gaps. Looking down, it is like a clear river pouring snow. Then
After a few steps, gradually heading to the north, it is flat and wide, with mottled bluestones as railings, and a row of houses hidden among the flowers and trees. It is precisely when you go out that you can govern the country and the world, and when you go in you cultivate your character.
Zhao Yun, who was invited, slowly drove his horse in.
He is eight feet tall and has a majestic appearance, but he does not show signs of decline due to old age.
On the contrary, the slanting handsome eyebrows, the angular outline of the eyes are like dots of paint, and occasionally there will be that lonely feeling that stalks the enemy's formation.
It's a pity that the years are rushing by day and night, and the beard and hair are dyed with frost.
In the past, those who followed the late Lord Liu Bei from his early days traveled to various parts of the Han Dynasty, but now he is the only one left.
Looking back, there is no voice or face of the old friend, but the taste of this can only be shared by heaven and earth!
well......
After all, he got old too.
Zhao Yun slowly lowered his eyelids, half-closed his eyes, and suddenly he didn't want to look at the lush green vegetation as winter turned to spring.
Instead, focus on the reason why the Prime Minister invited the banquet.
The imperial court ordered Men Yin to promote the nephew who has made outstanding achievements as a general?
Each company contributes its own capital?
This approach is somewhat similar to the partial private ownership in Soochow.
The disadvantages are obvious. After the father dies, the son succeeds. The tribe only knows the commander and ignores the court. It may lead to turmoil in the future. However, for today's Han Dynasty, it can use all the financial and material resources of the country on military affairs to conquer and recover.
The foundation was laid in the Central Plains.
Is this a blessing?
Or, drinking poison to quench thirst?
As Zhao Yun's horse jolted, his mood also fluctuated.
When he arrived in front of the house, he was led into the hall by his retinue, and saw the prime minister and Ma Su already at the table.
Zhao Yun was about to step forward to greet him, but he heard the Prime Minister sigh with regret: "Well, I assert that if this son has been in many positions, his plans may be as good as Fa Xiaozhi in the future. But I don't think that his temperament and actions can also be as good as Xie!"
Um?
Who is this big man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Fa Xiaozhi?!
