With the departure of the Prime Minister, the huge meeting hall became a bit quieter.
Zheng Pu turned his head and bowed his hands in salute to the man who was about forty years old when he came to the table, "Pu, I have seen Yang Canjun."
He is Yang Yi, a native of Xiangyang, whose courtesy name is Wei Gong.
During the Jian'an period, he was originally the chief clerk of Fu Qun, the governor of Jingzhou in Wei Dynasty. Later, he admired the virtues of his predecessor, carried Fu Qun on his back, and went to Guan Yu, the prefect of Xiangyang.
He was appointed as a meritorious officer by Guan Yu and sent west to Shu to pay tribute to the former lord Liu Bei.
The First Lord Liu Bei discussed military and state strategies with Yu and was greatly pleased with him. He also commended him for turning his back on Wei and returning to his own country, because he was promoted to General of the Left and sent to Cao Cao.
Later, the first emperor became the king of Hanzhong and was promoted to minister.
The former Lord honored him with the title of Emperor, and during the Eastern Campaign against Sun Wu, Yang Yi got into a dispute with Liu Ba, the Minister of Public Affairs. Liu Ban was a well-known scholar with deep qualifications, and he followed the former Lord and made great contributions. Therefore, Yang Yi was moved to the left.
Attached to the Governor of Hongnong.
Later, when Liu Ba died of illness, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang opened the government and asked Yang Yi to join the army, take charge of government affairs, and accompany him in the expedition to Nanzhong.
As the name suggests, Yang Yi has a dignified appearance, sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, a serious face, and is not angry but powerful.
The same goes for temperament.
According to legend, he was extremely efficient in managing affairs. What others could do in three to five days was only accomplished in one day, and he was highly regarded by the Prime Minister.
However, he has a high self-esteem, attaches great importance to his resume, and is known as being harsh on his subordinates.
People who hold the same position and work with him are also quite slanderous, slandering and criticizing him personally.
Perhaps this is the reason why the prime minister specifically told him before he left, "Although Zijin is young, he is very talented and learned, and he has clever ideas, so don't take it lightly."
When I saw Zheng Pu doing the ceremony, he was also quite expert.
He actually regarded himself as an elder and did not return the courtesy. Instead, he nodded gently, stroked his beard and said softly, "I have heard Zijin's name for a long time and said that he is a talented person from Shu. Now that I have seen him, he is worthy of his reputation!"
Although his words were full of appreciation, his facial expressions were completely expressionless.
It's quite strange to hear it.
Zheng Pu was a strong natured person. When he saw this, he gave up his intention to chat. After speaking modestly, he stood up and left. "Yang Canjun holds an important position and everything is complicated. Pu does not dare to disturb him, so I will resign first."
But she didn't want to, when Yang Yi heard the words, her eyes flashed slightly, she also stood up and walked side by side with Zheng Pu, walking slowly outside.
Still solemn and serious in speech, he asked: "Those barbarians are afraid of power and have no virtue. Is this the person who is remonstrating with the Prime Minister?"
The whispers were right, and you actually learned about the evil?
It seems that the Prime Minister is very untrustworthy towards you.
Zheng Pu thought for a hundred times and nodded in response, "Of course. I don't know why I asked about joining the army?"
"Because I think this statement is inappropriate!"
On the contrary, Yang Yi expressed his opinion directly, "We have a huge country and those who attack the barbarians must obey them! It is the king who teaches benevolence, righteousness and morality! What Zi Jin said is against the faith of our Han Dynasty court."
After saying this, he stamped his feet again, frowned at Zheng Pu, and spoke harshly.
"Zi Jin, do you know that today the Prime Minister sent General Zhennan to lead his army south because of what you said? In the eighth month of the Mid-Autumn Period, the army returned to the army; today is only the tenth month of Mengdong, so he has sent troops to go south again! The troops and horses are sent south again!
Frequent turbulence makes the soldiers suffer, the common people suffer, and all the counties in the south are also disturbed! Yizhou is exhausted, and Zijin is admonishing it like this, how can people feel peaceful and say evil?"
Hearing this, Zheng Pu felt angry at first, and then became a little bit jeering.
With his lively mind, it is not difficult to guess why Yang Yi is acting so erotically.
It was nothing more than that the Prime Minister sent troops to the south again to attack the rebellion and asked him, but he failed to give his advice and was ignored by the Prime Minister.
However, what is the reason for being rejected by your own words and instead getting angry at me?
"Working for a while can bring you peace for decades, so what's wrong with it?"
Zheng Pu also responded solemnly, his voice neither humble nor arrogant, "Those barbarians, as soon as the imperial army returned, revolted, attacked and killed the prefect and the generals. Is this the evil of those who can be transformed into kings by moral education? They are not talented at all, but they are taking it as a favor."
A righteous person will not show his power if he has no power! Moreover, since Wei and Wu have been campaigning for years, and the Han Dynasty has no worries about military affairs, why not take the opportunity to defeat the unconquered ministers, so that in the future, with no distractions, we can go all out in the Northern Expedition to counter the evil of Wei?"
"you!"
Being rejected by a junior in front of his face, Yang Yi's beard suddenly trembled and his face turned red.
It also reminded him that the person in front of him had a habit of expelling guests in person last year and was known to be headstrong by nature.
"The beard has not flourished, and the office has only been in office for one year, but it is no longer allowed to tolerate the evil words of the elders!"
Yang Yi spoke angrily, and waved her sleeves, "You, Zheng Zijin, don't hesitate to throw feathers at your own expense, ignore the benevolence and righteousness of the court, and just do what you want! Why do you remonstrate to the prime minister with these words to promote the conclusion of another southern expedition? Could it be that you don't know that General Zhennan's troops are marching southward to force him to do so?"
The time of barbarians is the time when the Prime Minister’s reputation is damaged!”
Ha~~~~
How dare you use your age and rich experience to ridicule me for your inexperience?
Hearing this, Zheng Pu sneered secretly.
He raised his head and said with burning eyes, "Even though I am a person from the mountains and fields, I have also heard that, 'He who is the son of a man should be the taboo of the elders; whoever is the assistant of others should be the taboo of the venerable'."
It is hoped that the great Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated. As a minister in the Prime Minister's Office, how can I sit back and watch the Prime Minister's good reputation be damaged? Although I am despised and humble, now that I have heard about this matter, I dare not ignore it. In a short while, I will look for General Zhennan and ask for his death.
It’s the Prime Minister’s decision that the troops and horses should go south again! This ruthless plan is what I call cunning words!”
After the words fell, Yang Yi's eyes froze and she was silent for a moment.
Immediately, his eyebrows stood up and his beard was raised, and he said with anger, "Young men, don't talk nonsense! General Zhennan is the mainstay of the imperial court. You can only serve as an assistant, how can you dare to be so arrogant and go to encourage evil talk? As the prime minister, I join the army. I am looking for
The matter of General Zhennan is not up to you to be a master of beauty!"
Well.
Do you actually fight against things that harm your reputation?
Although this person has an unpleasant personality, he is also quite responsible.
However, there is some truth in being able to gain the respect of the Prime Minister and being appointed to join the army.
Zheng Pu sighed secretly in his heart, and his senses about Yang Yi improved a bit.
However, very quickly, the good impression that had just appeared disappeared without a trace.
After Yang Yi scolded him, he actually said, "If you don't talk harmoniously, things will not go smoothly. Zijin and I have incompatible temperaments! You should take a bath and go and do your own work! I will take care of the matter of painting the land and consolidating the fields."
Prime Minister, I will take charge of it myself, and I will not dare to do any work!"
After saying this, he walked away without waiting for Zheng Pu's reply.
Incompatible temperament?
Of course, I am stubborn by nature!
However, you don’t ask yourself, are there any elders who are so humble and open-minded?!
snort!
There was a cold snort in my heart.
Zheng Pu immediately stood up, chased a few steps forward, bowed his hands first, and said loudly, "If you are born with incompatible natures, don't have the same trust, and have different opinions, it's just private! It's only public to be responsible for your duties and work for the country!"
Although Pu is young, he still knows that he should not abolish public service for personal reasons! The Prime Minister has decided that Pu and Join the Army will work together, how can he increase the Prime Minister's worries and evil for personal reasons? I hope that Join the Army will do it for himself!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Yang Yi was left looking at his back, brows gnashing for a while.
However, after a while, he frowned again, and without knowing what he was thinking about, he actually stroked his eyebrows and made a smile.
But when Zheng Pu left the prime minister's house and saw that the sun was not high in the sky, he hurried back to the small house, called Zheng Yi to prepare the deer cart and Fu Qian to pack it up, then went to bathe and have a facelift before heading to the palace.
When he was waiting at the palace for a short time, he was led by the imperial guards and entered the palace to wait for him in a small pavilion by the pool.
The scenery here is quite elegant.
However, the rockery rises upright, and the flowers and trees stand side by side, acting as a barrier to the scenery, which means "winding paths leading to seclusion"; the pool is covered with lotus flowers, and a winding small waterway is opened on the side, which seems to be created for the elegant "winding water drinking cup".
It's just a pity that it's mid-winter now, everything is in ruins, and many flowers, trees and lotus flowers in the pond have withered.
When people first see it, not only is it not as tranquil as being near the water, but it also adds a bit of sadness to the autumn and sadness to the spring.
Fu Qian, who had grown up in the imperial palace when he was young, saw the imperial guards standing quite far away, so he whispered to Zheng Pu and told Zheng Pu what was going on here.
"Sir, the emperor likes the scenery here very much. He often holds private banquets here to enjoy himself with those close to him."
"Sir, the emperor is particularly fond of lotus flowers. In his spare time, he would paint pictures in the pavilion and give them to others. For example, Brother Wenrong, Brother Shaoxian, Brother Ju and others have all been gifted."
"Sir, Emperor"
Alas, how could the emperor like the scenery here~~~~
It's obvious that I have nothing to express my feelings in my spare time, just chatting for fun.
Zheng Pu, who was secretly enlightened, reached out and patted Fu Qian, who was chattering to himself, and warned him in a low voice, "Be silent. A minister should not rely on favor and talk about the emperor's private affairs."
Fu Qian immediately restrained his features and became as silent as a cicada.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a man about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in the clothes of a nobleman, attracted many palace people.
First, he asked the palace servants to set up the table and prepare a banquet. Then he turned around and came to Zheng Pu with a bright smile.
Zuo."
So the second son of the chariot general?
"The emperor is so kind to me, and Puguan inscribed Wu Nei, and I am extremely frightened."
Hearing this, Zheng Pu first faced the north and raised his right hand, approaching the emperor from a distance, and then smiled at Zhang Shaoyan, "How lucky I am to meet the general of chariots and cavalry!"
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
After Zhang Shao heard this, his smile became even brighter, he kept humbly speaking, and he walked side by side with Zheng Pu.
He first smiled and patted Fu Qian's arm, then looked at Zheng Pu and said, "Zheng Shuzuo, my muscles and bones have been weak since I was a child, and it is difficult for me to do martial arts. Therefore, I like literature and calligraphy. Shuzuo said before
The book is "The Inscription on the Humble Room" that was given to Master Pang. I was fortunate enough to see it and I liked his calligraphy very much. However, I did not know it and it is a pity that I read it. Now that I have met in person, I would like to ask my assistant to understand me."
"I'm so lucky that this humble work that doesn't want to live idle in the mountains has found its way into the eyes of Zhang Sheren!"
Zheng Pu smiled calmly, not hiding his secrets, and told the story of Slender Gold Body in detail.
"I privately call this calligraphy 'thin tendons', which means that the characters are fleshless and the muscles and bones are straight and straight! It can also be said that the calligraphy means 'the mighty cannot bend, the poor and the humble cannot move' means self-encouragement. Scholars can be impoverished and make a living.
There is no way to survive; you can cut your body with a knife and die without a burial place. However, you cannot have bones without integrity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shao didn't say anything in reply, but there was a word of praise that was heard by everyone.
"Great kindness! This statement should come to light!"
Zheng Pu followed the sound and saw a person surrounded by palace people. He didn't know when he was standing beside him.
Seeing Zheng Pu's eyes coming, he also had a smile on his lips, his eyes were filled with joy, he raised his palms and praised, "The Zheng family is very loyal!"
Then, when the others heard the words, they all bowed their heads and bowed.
It also shocked Zheng Pu.
He quickly tidied up his clothes and paid homage, "I, General Yamen, bring Zuo Pu, the Prime Minister's Mansion Secretary, to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
