Chen Xi laughed twice when he heard this. There were other things to say, so forget about working overtime. On the one hand, it really couldn't be done, and on the other hand, it was really pointless.
"I guess you won't listen either. "Liu Bei shook his head and said, "You know better than me about internal affairs. What I think is correct may not be correct on your side. I just make a suggestion. Just listen to it. What should you do? I have to rely on you. I can only be used as a backdrop."
"You are not the background, you are the backer. It would be difficult for me to do this for anyone else." Chen Xi said with some emotion. Liu Bei's presence is not strong, but Liu Bei can really turn the tide at some point. , if others just talk about it, Liu Bei really helps.
"Maybe, but I think people still need to have the most basic morality. Liu Bei said very calmly. Chen Xi nodded after hearing this. Morality seems to be the weakest thing, but it is one of the most beautiful qualities of human beings.
It's just that in the chaotic era of the third century AD, it was difficult to maintain the moral bottom line. Only those who were strong enough could maintain their own morality.
"I will become stronger, just do your thing. You used to constantly draw nutrients for me and strengthen my power. Now I can shelter you from the wind and rain." Liu Bei said confidently, "Go in the direction you expect."
Chen Xi looked sideways at Liu Bei. Under the dim light, Chen Xi could see some excitement in Liu Bei's face. A middle-aged man in his forties was still the same at this moment as he was back then!
"Yes, I will keep moving forward towards the promise I made back then. Chen Xi nodded fiercely and said, "We will surpass our ancestors, from revival to transcendence!"
Liu Bei laughed and dragged Chen Xi into the restaurant again, as if he was introducing all the middle-level generals again, and this time Chen Xi also completely let go. Since the end of the Taishan Period, he once again interacted with all the generals as the military advisor of Liu Bei's forces. Drink freely.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Chen Xi was taken away from the bed by Zhang Fei and went to attend the second round of banquet. Work? What a shitty shift, drinking!
It was agreed that we should keep going. We had something to do before and we couldn't keep going. Now that the matter has been resolved, of course we have to continue drinking. Chen Xi continued to drink. After two days, the middle-level generals became very familiar with their military advisors.
The main thing is that this military advisor really solves problems and explains some problems. Even if someone is drunk, he can still understand the situation and explain it in a clear and logical manner, which is very good.
For several days, Chen Xi's liver finally stopped moving. Even if it was cooked rice wine with osmanthus added, which would hardly cause any harm to the human body, he couldn't bear to drink it. Finally one day, Chen Xi got up early and swayed. He ran to work in the Political Yuan, otherwise Zhang Fei would have come to ask Chen Xi to drink today.
Compared with others who still have to consider whether Chen Xi wants to work, Zhang Fei is clear in his mind that Chen Xi does not work at all, or more directly, that kind of work is nothing to Chen Xi, as long as Chen Xi If you want to handle it, do it in one go.
Even before, Zhao Yun stopped Zhang Fei and said that Zichuan could not be allowed to drink like this. The Political Yuan had a lot of work to deal with. Chen Xi, who was drunk at the time, retorted in person that this was nothing. The matters in the Political Yuan really needed to be dealt with and they would be dealt with in a while. Yes, everything is planned, and there is Kong Ming. Kong Ming needs to be tempered, and he will be a better prime minister than Zijing.
Regardless of Zhao Yun's darkened face at that time, Zhang Fei said that he was telling the truth while drunk, but he would not let Chen Xi run away anyway, and Chen Xi actually didn't want to run away.
The Political Yuan had indeed injured Chen Xi, and they somewhat wanted to have some silly fun with Zhang Fei and the others.
Of course, I thought this while drinking. When he was carried back at night and woke up vaguely, Chen Xi would swear, Chen Zichuan, Chen Zichuan, have you forgotten your great achievements? Have you forgotten your lofty ambitions? Is it the future? How can you drink every day? Zi Ri: "I will examine myself three times a day!" I will stop drinking from tomorrow!
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Fei came again and took Chen Xi to drink. A day passed, and this was the general situation recently.
Fortunately, Chen Xi's physical fitness is really not good enough to withstand the continuous spinning of Guan Zhang and Zhao Hua among this group of people, especially when Zhao Yun persuades others to drink less.
Drinking is harmful to the body, is not conducive to work, etc., but when it comes to him, he drinks more violently than anyone else.
So after carrying it for a few days, Chen Xi finally realized that he couldn't drink like this anymore and had to go to work.
At the fourth watch of the night last night, Chen Xi came down from the wine table and refused the farewells of Zhang Fei and others. Under the protection of Han Qiong, he turned left and right to go to the Political Yuan to work overtime, but ended up turning to the Tingwei Mansion Office. At the door, after thinking about it, Chen Xi used Jiu Jin to go to the imperial prison, and then to the Political Yuan.
So today's scene happened. Zhuge Liang was the first to arrive at the Political Yuan as usual, and then he saw Chen Xi burying his head between his arms and lying on a few cases to rest. It looked like he had been dealing with official business all night, and he was tired. As if asleep at dawn.
Touched, unimaginably touched!
"Zichuan, Zichuan, wake up. "Zhuge Liang pushed Chen Xi, but Chen Xi still didn't wake up. His drunkenness had not passed. He drank until midnight last night. Chen Xi realized that he had to go back and serve the wine table again before he woke up in the morning, so he held on. When I came to the Political Yuan, I sat in my seat and fell asleep directly. I was in a very deep sleep at this time.
Zhuge Liang smelled a faint smell of alcohol from Chen Xi, but he didn't think much about it. He just felt that Chen Xi was somewhat professional, or at best not so professional most of the time.
"Huh?" Li You was the second to arrive. There was nothing he could do. After Lu Su was gone, Li You naturally became the second bureaucrat to arrive at the Political Yuan. When he took a closer look at the door, he saw Chen Xi. For Li You, It is simply unbelievable that in so many years, it is the first time to see Chen Xi come so early.
"He came earlier than me. "Zhuge Liang seemed to understand what Li You wanted to ask, and gave a direct answer. Li You clicked his tongue in surprise, and then sat down carefully in his seat.
Soon Fazheng, Xu Shu, Jiang Wan and others also arrived. They were somewhat incredulous when they saw Chen Xi, and because of this, they all tiptoed when they came in.
The morning in the Political Yuan was extremely harmonious, and the people who worked were very hard-working. After all, even the fish monster could stay up late to handle official business. How could they not work hard?
It was not until near noon that Chen Xi barely recovered, and slowly woke up with his right arm numb and his face swollen.
Even if Chen Xi had special rest skills in the Political Yuan and even studied the corresponding secret techniques, compared with the previous situation of taking a short nap, sleeping for such a long time this time would not guarantee his elegant appearance anyway.
In short, Chen Xi, whose right arm was so numb that it no longer seemed like a part of his body, slumped stiffly on the backrest, and his whole body showed that I was useless.
"When is it?" Chen Xi greeted Zhuge Liang with dark circles under his eyes.
"It's almost lunch time. It's hard for you to come to the Political Yuan to work so early." Zhuge Liang said with some emotion.
"What's for lunch?" "Chen Xi was a little thirsty and somewhat hungry. He didn't answer the second part and asked directly what he wanted to eat.
"Braised pork rice." Zhuge Liang didn't expect Chen Xi to reply by saying "work hard", so he smoothly took over Chen Xi's words and replied.
"There haven't been any big problems recently." "Chen Xi tidied up his appearance, then rubbed his stiff right arm and asked.
"There are no big problems. There are many mistakes. But you have already set the general framework and direction, so there are no big troubles." Zhuge Liang replied calmly.
"That's good. From now on, these things will be up to you. "Chen Xi said silently, and then quickly made up his mind, "I have ordered a self-examination of the team left by Zijing step by step. Those who should be disbanded should be disbanded, and those who should be reorganized should be reorganized. You will activate them later. Or if you are promoted, just give the order directly without any scruples."
After Chen Xi made up his mind, he broke up the team left by Lu Su. As his successor, Zhuge Liang could continue to use this team, but some of the people in that team were even more qualified than Zhuge Liang. It's deep and may not be easy to use.
Therefore, the new team can be formed by Zhuge Liang himself. What Chen Xi can do is to be a villain to help Zhuge Liang solve these historical problems, so that Zhuge Liang can easily succeed Lu Su's position.
"Zijing will set off today
Go to the Ganges River, why don't you go and see it?" Zhuge Liang suddenly said, he knew to some extent the relationship between Chen Xi and Lu Su, they could almost be regarded as friends of the poor and the lowly.
"After seeing it, I stopped going. "Chen Xi slumped on the backrest and said perfunctorily. He had really seen it. In the early hours of this morning, while Jiu Jin was in the prison, he scolded Lu Su bloody. All his grievances were poured out. He cursed loudly.
"But this time Zijing left, it will be difficult to see him again." Zhuge Liang was somewhat trying to persuade, but he still wanted to redeem himself. After all, Liu Bei stepped forward at the last moment to clean up the mess, and the trouble was avoided, and the situation did not develop. At the last step, there is still a possibility of recovery.
"No, everyone is responsible for their own actions." Chen Xi slumped on the backrest and looked at the rafters and said, "Zijing went to the Ganges River, which is the most honorable end possible."
Zhuge Liang sighed and stopped trying to persuade Chen Xi, and Chen Xi didn't say anything.
Outside Chang'an City, Lu Su's family, including Xu Ning and Xu Ning's one-year-old child, were escorted by imperial guards to board the train and prepare to go to the Ganges River.
"My lord, I disappoint you." Lu Su said looking at Liu Bei who suddenly appeared.
"The matter has passed, so let's not talk about it. How to develop and operate the Ganges River depends on you. Although it will be my fiefdom in the future, you also know that I can't go there." Liu Bei looked at it. Lu Su felt somewhat sad. To be honest, Lu Su was a minister he relied on very much.
Liu Bei will basically never go to the Ganges River again. This time he went to the Ganges River and there was a lot of chaos when he came back. Liu Bei also realized to some extent that it was best for him and Chen Xi to stay in the Central Plains. Only in this way can the chaotic people's hearts be stabilized. .
Therefore, this farewell to Lu Su may be an eternal farewell.
"I will, and I will do my best to handle it all for you when the time comes. Lu Su bowed and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
"It's not for me, it's for those generals. I don't care whether the King of Jin is the King of Jin. I don't care whether there is a fiefdom or not. What I care about is the people of the Han family. And I don't want to treat these soldiers who follow me badly, so I With He Zichuan, we have discussed entrusting the essence of Guishuang District." Liu Bei told the story of his original thoughts candidly.
Liu Bei really doesn't care about being crowned king, nor does he care about whether he has a fiefdom. He knows very well that the world is actually his, and he just wants to do better, so whether he has a fiefdom or not, the Han family's world is his fiefdom. There is essentially no difference.
At this point, with the awareness to bear all sins, he naturally has the heart to tolerate Yu Nei. What Liu Bei cares about is not the king's title or the fiefdom.
In the eyes of Yuan Caosun and the Central Asian aristocratic family, the Kushan Essence Area was a land of unimaginable beauty, but in Liu Bei's eyes, it was nothing remarkable.
Regardless of the foundation of the empire or the empire, there is actually no difference to Liu Bei. Yuan Caosun is a loser, the Central Asian family is also a loser, and the Kushan Essence District that can be used for enfeoffment is also a place of failure. As long as he Chen Xi is still alive and standing in the Central Plains. In fact, it doesn't matter who he is in the surrounding places.
So from the very beginning, it was not only Chen Xi who spared Lu Su, but also Liu Bei, who banished Lu Su to the Ganges and became the overall manager of the Kushan Essence District in the future, assisting in the operation of various ministries and generals, the development of the Essence Area, etc. , it does seem to be a decent act, even from the perspective of Yuan Caosun's subordinates, it is not considered a punishment.
But for Liu Bei, this is equivalent to depriving Lu Su of his future - I have more expectations and promises for you than this. In this world, you should be honored.
It is a pity that there are fewer and fewer people who can enjoy such an honor as Liu Bei, and now Lu Su, who was qualified, has also withdrawn from this circle, and there are still a few left.
Or to be more direct, even if Liu Bei's original intention remains unchanged and he can be called brother to Liu Bei, how many people are still standing beside him and how many people can be friends with Liu Bei are very few.
The king is so aloof, sometimes more people are traveling with him, and less and less. The friends who once expected each other are gradually drifting away.
"That's it, I am indeed not unjust at all." Lu Su sighed softly, and then bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
Lu Su knew that Chen Xi would never come to see him off. To be able to go to the prison in the early hours of the morning while drunk and scolding him was already over the line. If he did it again, Chen Xi might not be able to hold him back, and Lu Su What Su has done cannot be undone.
