If it weren’t for judging from the enemy’s movements after the war that Cao Rui really had gathered 100,000 field troops, Xu Shu would have doubted whether he had been deceived by this intelligence report. Why didn’t even Fei Yi know who this person was? ? !
It is difficult to pursue this matter for the time being. Fei Yi also needs to spend some time to trace the source. All I can say is to put it aside for the time being.
After what needs to be said and what needs to be discussed, everyone goes back to their respective homes to handle their own business.
Zhang Xi is not going to Jingzhou to take office starting tomorrow. This matter must be reported to the emperor, and only after the emperor agrees can Zhang Xi go. Liu Chan doesn't care much about government affairs, but you can't help but take the emperor seriously. You decide on personnel changes yourself.
Therefore, this matter still has to be sent to Chengdu to wait for the emperor's decision.
After receiving the memorial from the people in Yongzhou, Liu Chan directly stamped the memorial without thinking, expressing his agreement. His wife stopped him.
Despite Zhang Fei's appearance, his daughter is a delicate and considerate person.
"Your Majesty, even though it is a memorial from your father-in-law, Your Majesty cannot use the seal without careful examination!!" Queen Zhang asked softly.
Liu Chan smiled stupidly and said, "My father-in-law can still harm me. The queen is worrying too much!!!"
Empress Zhang looked at her husband helplessly and said again, "I did not mean that. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life and will be in charge sooner or later. If not, don't take this opportunity to learn more about government affairs and learn from your father-in-law to manage government. If your father-in-law is no longer here, , Your Majesty is like this too, he only knows how to use seals but doesn’t know anything about government affairs?!”
"This" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "My father-in-law is only forty years old, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Although he said this, Liu Chan still picked up the notes written by Zhuge Liang and others and read them carefully.
Liu Chan is indeed not a wise king, but he at least knows that Zhuge Liang can be trusted. When everyone he can trust is gone, he will ruin the country without knowing who to trust.
But at this time, he not only trusted his father-in-law, but also trusted his wife. Liu Chan, who was half Sichuanese, could do whatever the wife asked him to do.
After carefully reading Zhuge Liang's memorial, Liu Chan suddenly remembered that Jiang Wei had also sent him a memorial a few days ago, and quickly ordered someone to find it for comparison and verification.
Then Liu Chan fell into thinking. After about half a stick of incense, Liu Chan immediately ordered people to invite the Marquis of Xixiang and the Marquis of Han Shouting.
The Marquis of Xixiang is Zhang Fei.
The Shoutinghou of the Han Dynasty was not Guan Yu, but Guan Ping, Guan Yu's eldest son.
After Guan Yu passed away, Guan Ping automatically ascended the title and became the title of Hou Tinghou of Han Dynasty. Liu Chan will definitely be given the title, but now, because of Guan Yu, he can only be the Hou Tinghou for the time being.
When Empress Zhang saw that Liu Chan had finally entered the state, she smiled slightly, returned the greeting, and left the main hall. It was a rule in the harem not to interfere in politics.
Although the Han Dynasty has lived for four hundred years, not many harems abide by this rule, but at least Empress Zhang must abide by it as much as possible.
Otherwise, if his father sees him in the main hall, he will inevitably be scolded. This will make his father's body, which has finally recovered a little, become even worse.
Not long after, Guan Ping and Zhang Fei entered the palace according to the order.
Since Guan Yu's death, Zhang Fei's mental state has not been very good. In the most serious days, he did not respond to any movement from the outside world. He would only cry and laugh sometimes. Looking at Guan Ping and others, they were very worried. worry.
But after sorting out Guan Yu's relics and finding the letters written by Guan Yu to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's mental state improved slightly after reading them.
After supporting Guan Yu's coffin all the way back to Chengdu, Zhang Fei finally regained his senses and arrived in Chengdu together after receiving careful care from Guan Ping and others.
At this time, Guan Yu had not been buried, and Zhang Fei's mentality had not been completely adjusted. However, when he heard that the emperor had summoned him, Zhang Fei still insisted on coming.
And Liu Chan didn't expect that the always tough third uncle would look so haggard when he appeared in front of him again. When he saw the pale Guan Ping standing next to him, Liu Chan thought of himself. Before the discussion, the three fathers, uncles and nephews hugged each other and cried for a while.
In the end, Queen Zhang came after hearing the news and persuaded the three uncles and nephews to leave.
Then, Queen Zhang felt aggrieved and was scolded by her father, and returned to the harem again in displeasure.
Really, if you three uncles and nephews hadn't been crying so hard, why would Empress Zhang appear in the main hall? She was scolded by her own father for disrespecting etiquette and interfering in politics in the harem. Who could she talk to about her grievances? !
But when she thought that her father still had the strength to reprimand her, Empress Zhang felt inexplicably at ease. When she thought about it carefully, she didn't seem so angry anymore.
After Empress Zhang left, the uncle and nephew finally remembered that there was still business to do. Liu Chan took the initiative to take out Zhuge Liang's memorial and gave it to Zhang Fei and Guan Ping for inspection.
After Zhang Fei and Guan Ping took turns reading the memorial, they also felt a little strange.
Unifying Jingzhou under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and integrating military and political affairs will be of great benefit to strengthening the authority of the imperial court. Transferring Zhang Xi to serve as the general guarding Jingzhou can also take into account the military and the pain of Jingzhou's adjustment, which is very appropriate. s Choice.
So, what is the emperor hesitating about? !
This question is not easy for Guan Ping to ask, but it doesn't matter to Zhang Fei. He is the third uncle.
"Your Majesty, do you think there is anything wrong with the Prime Minister's performance?!" Zhang Fei bowed his hands and asked.
When Liu Chan saw this posture, he quickly wanted to help Zhang Fei and said, "Third uncle, there is no need to be polite. This is a private discussion, not to go to court. There is no need to be so open-minded between you and my uncle and nephew."
After saying this, Liu Chan glanced at Guan Ping secretly, and then whispered to Zhang Fei, "It's not that I don't understand what Xiangfu said. It's just that this Jingzhou has been guarded by my second uncle for many years. Now that the second uncle has passed away, it is natural that the elder brother of the Guan family should take over. Transferring Zhang Xi to Jingzhou seems to be a bit "
When Zhang Fei heard this, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
It's a good thing that the eldest nephew is reminiscing about old friendships. As an uncle, he felt comfortable hearing this.
But the problem is that in national affairs, the country should come first.
The second brother is guarding Jingzhou for the eldest brother and the big man. To put it bluntly, this Jingzhou still belongs to the eldest brother and the big man, and now it naturally belongs to the eldest nephew and the big man.
It is certainly not impossible for the eldest nephew to ask Guan Ping to leave Jingzhou, but the problem is that the world is uncertain now. It is not that Zhang Fei looks down on Guan Ping, but that Guan Ping really cannot control Jingzhou.
Therefore, Zhang Fei still persuaded Liu Chan, saying, "Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of the emperor, and it is also the Jingzhou of the Han Dynasty. Whoever the emperor wants to guard it can be guarded. This is not the subject of the ministers. However, Jingzhou is the place of the Four Wars. I privately think that it is not an important minister." It cannot be defended. This matter still needs to be investigated in detail by Your Majesty."
What I mean is, let’s follow the Prime Minister’s memorial! ! !
Guan Ping on the other side, after reading the memorial and hearing what Zhang Fei said, he still didn't realize what the problem was.
Really, Guan Ping is making everyone laugh and cry. Neither Guan Ping nor the Guan family regards Jingzhou as their private property.
In other words, if the emperor really appointed him as the guarding general, then Guan Ping would have to resign and he really couldn't bear this responsibility.
When his father was still alive, he repeatedly warned Guan Ping that his ultimate ability was to lead more than ten thousand soldiers and act as a general charging into battle.
He, Guan Ping, could not do such things as commanding an army and guarding one side.
Guan Ping is already in his early forties. He is not a young man in his teens or twenties. If the old man says you are not good, you have to confront him and think that you are good. What's more, compared with Zhang Xi, Guan Ping really has to admit that he is really good. no.
Therefore, Guan Ping had no choice but to take the initiative and said to Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, I think that the Prime Minister's performance is reasonable and reasonable, and please allow it."
"This" Liu Chan looked at Guan Ping in embarrassment, and then at Zhang Fei who kept nodding at him, then reluctantly nodded and said, "Since the third uncle and the eldest brother of the Guan family have said so, then I am right!" "
After speaking, the memorial was stamped and confirmed, and finally it was sent to the Zhongshu Province to issue the edict.
After doing these things, Liu Chan continued to hold Zhang Fei and Guan Ping, chatted some privately, and asked about Guan Yu's funeral. As they talked, the uncle and nephew began to have red eyes again.
When Guan Ping saw this situation, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to say goodbye to the emperor. Even if he was not worried about the emperor's mood, Guan Ping had to take care of his third uncle's mood.
In Zhang Fei's state, if he continues to be so sad, his body may not be able to support it.
Just like that, Guan Ping took his leave. Zhang Fei stayed for a while and then stood up to leave. Liu Chan then gathered his mood, sat down on his dragon chair again, and started to deal with his official duties.
By the way, think carefully about whether there is any problem with your handling just now.
Actually, Liu Chan is not a fool. From the moment he saw Zhuge Liang's memorial, he knew that Zhuge Liang's solution was the best.
But Liu Chan also has his own concerns, which is Guan Ping's mood. He must take it into consideration. What if Guan Ping has trouble with the royal family because of this? !
At this time, although Liu Chan did not have much experience in political maneuvering, he had this consciousness.
Although in theory, the Guan and Zhang families are Liu Chan's natural political allies, the problem is that the Zhang family is easy to confirm, but Liu Chan can't say what the Guan family's attitude is.
When the late emperor was here, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were good brothers of the late emperor and deeply trusted by the late emperor. There was no need to worry about this.
But now in Liu Chan's generation, there is no need to worry when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are still there, but once these two people pass away, the attitude of the descendants of the Guan and Zhang families will be critical.
The Zhang family doesn't have to worry now. Their daughter-in-law is Zhang Fei's daughter and her closest person. The second generation of the Zhang family has been bound to the honor and disgrace of the royal family.
Only the Guan family guards Jingzhou all year round, and most of Guan Yu's children are not in Chengdu. Liu Chan doesn't even have a chance to get close to him. He doesn't know if the Guan family will continue to support him after his second uncle passes away.
Therefore, Liu Chan must consider Guan Ping's attitude towards this matter and at the same time appease Guan Ping's emotions.
Now it seems that at least the second generation of the Guan family is not only on their side, but is also very reasonable and knows to put national affairs first. Well, that's good! ! !
