There is no need to elaborate on the talent and learning of Fa Zheng.
However, the reputation he left in the world is still known as "virtue for a meal, revenge for every grudge".
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang lamented that Zheng Pu was "straightforward and narrow-minded, and had no tolerance for others", which was similar to Fa Zheng's nature. It was exactly what Ma Su said after hearing about the move of expelling guests.
However, Zhao Yun's focus is not here.
He is more concerned about who is a big man, and his planning skills are comparable to those of law and filial piety.
If the imperial court can have another method of filial piety and uprightness, fight against the legacy of the late emperor, and restore the Central Plains, there may be hope for the future!
Even though he is old now, he may not be able to witness that day coming. However, at least, when his soul returns to Jiuquan and reunites with the late emperor, he can be comforted that the Han Dynasty can prosper...
When you die, you can leave no regrets.
"Su, I have met the general."
However, Ma Su, who was at the table, had sharp eyes. When he saw Zhao Yun arriving, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
When Prime Minister Zhuge Liang heard this, he stood up to greet him with a smile on his face. Zhao Yun naturally held his hand in greeting.
After the ceremony, as soon as he took his seat, Zhao Yun couldn't restrain his excitement and asked first, "Prime Minister, I just heard that there are virtuous planners in the court who can be as good as Yihou Faxiaozhi?"
"Zilong actually heard it clearly."
Nodding slightly, Zhuge Liang smiled and joked.
Immediately, Zheng Pu was briefly described as a person, his talents and learning.
At the end of his words, he sighed sadly, "This son of the Zheng family has a commendable heart for planning for the country, and his talents and learning can be improved. However, his temperament is too strong, and I fear that he will not be able to blend in with his colleagues in the future!"
Zhao Yun, who was listening with his ears down, couldn't help but relax his eyebrows when he heard the whole story of the implementation of the policy of "extending favor". He let go of the worries on the road, stroking his beard and nodding with a smile. When he heard Zheng Pu chasing away the guests, he lowered his head again and fell into deep thought.
.
After a long while, he raised his head, briefly cupped his hands, and said, "I don't quite agree with what the Prime Minister just said."
"oh?"
Immediately, when Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes were slightly surprised and he smiled warmly, "Zilong, there is no need to be polite, just tell me whatever you want."
The man next to him, Ma Su, also leaned lightly in front of the case, his ears raised and waiting.
"My thinking is that no one has perfect ears, so there is no need to be too demanding."
Zhao Yun first nodded and paid tribute, then smiled and said, "The son of the Zheng family has a stubborn temperament, so what? Those who are used by the country should choose their talents. If it is true as the prime minister said, in the future he may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yihou Fa Xiaozhi, I am a big man
The ambition to conquer the Central Plains can also be relied on! This is a blessing for the country! Moreover, the Prime Minister said that this son of the Zheng family is not as good as a weak one, and it is the nature of a young man to show his sharpness. If he can concentrate on training, we still know what the future will be like!"
After he finished speaking, his eyes dimmed again and he sighed loudly, "For example, when the late emperor went to the east in the past, if Yihou Fa Xiaozhi was still there and followed the army to make plans, how could Dongwu allow the late emperor to be defeated and return to evil? How could I, a great Han Dynasty, decline to this point?
well........"
The fists of heart and sentimental words caused the banquet to fall into silence.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang also had worries in his eyes.
Not only did Zhao Yun's words touch his emotions, but a trace of loneliness spread in his heart.
As Zhao Yun said, when the country wants to use the Zheng family's sons, they should only use their talents, and there is no need to be too demanding. However, with such a principle of not covering up the flaws, how can he not know the evil?
Those who govern the country should have far-reaching concerns.
Zheng Pu's revealed temperament made him even more worried.
At that time, Fa Zheng had to retaliate for his arrogance and acted domineeringly, but the late emperor Liu Bei ignored him. On the one hand, it was to show off his merits; on the other hand, there were many talented people in the Han Dynasty at that time. No matter how domineering Fa Zheng was, it would not harm the stability of the court.
But today's Zheng Pu is too young, a generation younger than Ma Su.
If he is promoted based on his talent regardless of his resume and is allowed to accumulate meritorious deeds and have the power to control him, who will be able to control him in the future based on his temperament and the ruthlessness shown in his suggestions? Will he use power to overwhelm his colleagues and lead to harm to the country?
thing?
Just like the fierce-tempered Liu Feng (Kou Feng) back then.
The late emperor saw the letter and appointed him as governor, but he did not want to be harmonious with his colleagues. He did not accept the order of the former general Guan Yu and sent troops to assist in the war. He also seized Mengda out of personal anger and promoted honor guards, causing Mengda to surrender the county to Wei.
Although you were diligent and meritorious in the past, how can you make up for the misfortunes in the future!
Alas, that’s all.
Thinking too much about the past is of no use to the present.
Putting aside his thoughts, Zhuge Liang smiled, nodded and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong's words are astonishing, but I am too rigid."
Naturally, Zhao Yun kept speaking modestly.
However, Ma Su, who was quick-thinking, spoke leniently and said, "As General Zhao said, the Prime Minister is humble! With the Prime Minister's wisdom, how could he not think about such evil? He secretly thought that it was the Prime Minister who had a love for talents, and he expected the same."
Gao, so the responsibilities are fully fulfilled!"
"Of course!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but echoed, holding his hands and laughing, "You Chang's words are exactly what I meant! Hahaha~~~~~"
Just laugh for a while.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then sat upright with solemn expressions on their faces.
We are both busy with state affairs, so after chatting about small things, it was naturally time to discuss serious matters.
This time, it was Prime Minister Zhuge Liang who spoke first.
He first raised a cup to invite Zhao Yun to have a drink with him, and then asked, "Zilong, I want to have my nephew and nephew be honored by the imperial court, and be appointed to the post of self-recruitment. Do you think it's feasible?"
"Return to the Prime Minister, I think it can be done."
Slightly cupping his hands, Zhao Yun nodded first and answered, then shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, Prime Minister, when I came here, I thought this was not feasible. However, after hearing about the whole strategy of 'Tian En', I thought it was feasible.
.”
"Haha~~~Zilong Houde is still so forthright."
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but burst out laughing. After praising him, he added, "In Zilong's opinion, who is the nephew of the family who has made great achievements in the court today, and who can be given a position in the future?"
After a pause, he smiled and said lightly, "I know that Zilong has always been loyal, so he will definitely not mention his own family. Therefore, I am determined to use the second son of Zilong's family as one of them. Zilong will not make any excuses."
Well, Zhao Yun got heirs late, and he only had two sons.
The eldest son, Zhao Tong, has already become an official.
The second son, Zhao Guang, was not qualified enough to be crowned the weakest, so he was taken into the army by Zhao Yun in his white body for training, hoping that he would become a talented person through words and deeds.
"The Prime Minister has said this, how can I say goodbye to evil?"
After first thanking him, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Prime Minister, please allow me to think about it."
"Okay, Zilong, help yourself."
Zhuge Liang nodded and saw that Zhao Yun had lowered his head and thought to himself, so he turned to discuss other matters with Ma Di in a low voice.
After half a while.
Zhao Yunsu raised his head and said, "Prime Minister, I thought that conferring military positions to self-recruitment troops was a big deal and we should not be careless. If we try to promote Bai Qi to advance, it may lead to slander from the government and the public. Therefore, I think there are four people.
, one is Huo Yi, the son of the former governor of Zitong, the other is Pang Hong, the son of the former military advisor Zhonglang, the other is Jiang Bin, the eldest son of the prime minister Jiang Shenjun, and the other is Mi Wei, the son of the former Anhan general. These four people all have a fatherly style.
It may benefit the country."
"Very good! Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled solemnly, "Zilong's thoughts are almost exactly the same as what I am thinking!"
After a while, the discussion was over and everyone dispersed.
Zhuge Liang returned to his study, lit up by a wisp of incense, and frowned in thought.
Immediately, he picked up his pen and wrote two words: Huang Chong.
