Regarding Zhuge Liang, Wei Cheng actually didn't like him very much because he was so famous.
Wei Cheng is a person who doesn't admit defeat very much, or rather a stubborn person.
Such people are a bit different.
If you watch "Three Kingdoms", you will like Lu Xun and Lu Su instead of Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhuge Liang.
Watching "Water Margin" you will envy Ximen Qing and Gao Yanei for their carefree life, instead of admiring Wu Song and Lin Chong's superb martial arts.
The two-dimensional world is no exception. I didn't like Luffy Wang when I watched "One Piece", but I liked Green Algae Head and Ace. I didn't feel much about the strong-mouthed king when I watched "Naruto", but I looked at the villain Payne in a different light.
In short, what is good in the eyes of others is not necessarily good in his eyes, and fortunately it is not derogatory.
If Zhuge Liang can join Heluo Academy, he will at best be a talent reserve for Wei Cheng's subsequent plans.
This is a good thing.
But that’s not enough for him to run over and recruit in person. If he has that time, he might as well go back and spend more time with his wife and children.
When Wei Cheng was thinking about how to be lazy, a figure walked quickly outside the door holding the hem of his clothes.
Seeing the visitor, Wei Cheng sighed helplessly.
"Second uncle, you really showed up on time."
"ah?"
Wei Min looked puzzled. After walking into the house, he said directly: "Cheng'er, there is something you need to come up with a charter for."
Wei Cheng pointed to the pile of paperwork in front of him and said silently: "Second uncle also saw it. I have a pile of things waiting for me to sign. If you have anything, just take care of it as soon as you see it."
"It's really not possible without your consent."
Wei Min pulled up a futon, knelt down and looked at Wei Cheng with a smile.
Wei Cheng was a little embarrassed by the sight, always feeling that his second uncle's sudden visit would be up to no good.
Sure enough, Wei Min said: "Cheng'er, the old ministers in the court made a suggestion, and your father and I both think it's a good idea."
Wei Cheng was stunned, "What are those old men doing again?"
The Wei family easily captured Luoyang and even moved directly into the palace. There were people in the court who supported it, but naturally there were also people who opposed it.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Although those people oppose it, they can't do anything.
But after all, these people are the pillars of the Han Dynasty, and they are the backbone representatives of various aristocratic families.
If this country wants to function normally, it really cannot do without their help.
The Wei family intended to use them for a short period of excessive talent, and it would not be too late to demote them when their own people took over.
Therefore, it is not advisable to do things too strictly and try to win over some of them. If it really doesn't work, you can only let them complain.
However, it is not easy to appease these old guys.
After several rounds of negotiations, these people knew that they could not defeat the Wei family, so they came up with a compromise.
That is, let Wei Cheng marry the daughter of Han Ling Emperor, Princess Wannian: Liu He.
At first, they even requested that Liu He be made the queen, and that the prince born to Wei Cheng and Liu He in the future must be made the prince.
Fortunately, Wei Min and others knew that Wei Cheng would definitely not have to agree, so they settled for the next best thing and made Liu He the imperial concubine instead.
As for the children of the two of them, according to Liu Hehuang's status as the noble concubine, they will at least be a prince, and they will be rich and prosperous throughout their lives.
After hearing what Wei Min said, Wei Cheng's whole face turned gloomy.
"Second uncle, stop talking, I won't agree." Before Wei Min could finish speaking, Wei Qing stood up directly and asked with sinister eyes: "Who made this suggestion? I still don't believe it. Now There are still some big men who dare to negotiate terms with me."
Seeing Wei Cheng's angry face, Wei Min knew something was wrong.
He hurriedly stood up, grabbed Wei Cheng, and persuaded him with kind words: "Cheng'er, no matter who put forward this suggestion, it is undeniable that it is indeed a good way, isn't it? "
Wei Teng sneered and shouted: "What a fart, how can they have the nerve to negotiate terms with me? If they make me anxious, I'll just chop them all!"
Wei Cheng was really angry. Not to mention how he was, Liu He, a woman who was so well behaved, was actually used as a political bargaining chip by these old immortals...
Oh, first the imperial concubine, and then the prince.
Will my sons be divided into two factions in the future, one is the upstarts, and the other is the aristocratic family, so that they can compete for the throne and the brothers will fight against each other?
Wei Cheng is a time traveler. There are not too many fights between brothers fighting for the throne in history.
There is nothing wrong with him wanting to dominate the world. As a time traveler, there is also a powerful golden finger. Who doesn't want to let the footprints of the Han people go all over the world.
But he doesn't want his descendants to fight to the death for some bullshit throne.
Wei Cheng has actually already thought about it. After the world is unified, he will take his family back to modern time and space. Then he will buy an island and live a carefree life. As for this bullshit emperor, he will let his Brother Wei Jian will inherit it.
So he has been proclaiming himself king but not emperor, just to wait for that day to come.
It's good now that someone is planning on him and his son. Who can bear this?
"Cheng'er, don't be angry yet. My second uncle didn't think about this matter. So, please calm down for a while while my second uncle goes to tell them."
Wei Min was very helpless. He just wanted to appease all parties and united all forces to implement Wei Cheng's plan.
But he never thought that Wei Cheng would be so angry.
Wait for Wei Min to leave.
Wei Teng frowned and called Hao Zhao, "Let the secret guards find out who is fanning the flames behind this."
Hao Zhao has been waiting in the side hall on weekdays. He also heard the conversation between the uncle and nephew just now, so he naturally knew what Wei Cheng asked him to check.
"Don't worry, sir, as long as it happens in Luoyang, there is nothing that the secret guards cannot detect."
Hao Zhao cupped his fists and saluted, and at the same time he was secretly glad in his heart.
His sister Hao Niang was also going to marry Wei Cheng. As a brother-in-law, he would definitely not be happy that there was suddenly some kind of princess competing with his sister for a man.
Wei Teng nodded slightly and patted Hao Zhao on the shoulder to encourage him.
"Go ahead."

at the same time.
Heluo College, Luoyang Office.
Xun Yu was sitting on the futon, holding a white seed in his hand, lowering his head and thinking.
Opposite him, Zhuge Liang, who was only nine years old, also had a solemn expression, and even his lips were slightly white.
Snap!
Xun Yu made another move, and you can see that the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were evenly matched and almost covered the chessboard.
However, as Xun Yu Baizi fell, Zhuge Liang on the opposite side seemed to be suddenly discouraged.
Seeing this, the boy behind him hurriedly stepped forward, "Second Master, are you okay?"
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, raised his head to look at Xun Yu, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, your chess skills are superb, Liang is willing to let you down."
Xun Yu twisted his beard and smiled and said: "It is very rare for you to have such chess skills at such a young age. The reason why you lost was not because of your chess skills, but because you were young and had little experience. To be honest, it was someone who It’s no longer possible to win with force.”
"I don't dare. If you lose, you lose. Liang feels inferior. Just now, Mr. Liang has been giving in. Although Liang is not talented, he can still see that Mr. intends to test me. If not, he would have been a hundred and twenty years old. By the time, Liang had already lost."
Xun Yu was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, you are indeed not simple, and I don't know who is stronger or weaker compared to you and that boy Sima Yi."
"Sima Yi?"
"Yes, Sima Fang's son is two years older than you and is also Wei Jun's first disciple."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but show envy. He admired Wei Cheng very much, but he didn't expect that Sima Yi was actually Wei Cheng's disciple.
Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled slightly, stood up and said, "You should work hard. Last year around this time, Sima Yi accumulated all the credits in Heluo College in just a few months. If you can do the same, , I will personally introduce you to Mr. Wei."
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stood up and raised his hands, saying gratefully: "Sir, you are serious. Liang will definitely live up to your expectations."
Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction, turned back to look at the college teacher, and said, "Teacher Sun, this kid is not bad. You should take good care of him."
Professor Sun was the first person to discover that Zhuge Liang had received perfect marks in the assessment. At this time, he was equally excited and bowed his hands to Xun Yu, saying yes repeatedly.
Xun Yu smiled slightly and looked at Zhuge Liang again.
At this time, Zhuge Liang's face was blue and his clothes were soaked with sweat because of the extreme use of his brain.
Xun Yu frowned and said, "You kid is quite stubborn, but unfortunately, your body is too weak. Can't your adults even guarantee you three meals a day?"
Zhuge Liang showed a sour expression.
The same boy said: "Sir, I don't know. We are new here. We are not very familiar with Luoyang, and we don't have any kind of receipts. Now the master and his wife are still living in the inn with the young ladies."
"Oh?" Xun Yu looked at Zhuge Liang.
Only then did I realize that Zhuge Liang looked disheveled and even the clothes on his body were a bit old, and I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"Laifu, come here."
Xun Yu replaced his servant, took a stack of various bills from him, and handed it to Zhuge Liang.
"Take these back. There is an empty house in the east of the city. You can take your parents there to live there first. When you get to Anyi, I will have someone arrange a new place for you."
"This, how can this happen?" Zhuge Liang was flattered.
Xun Yu directly stuffed the note into his arms and said in a deep voice: "A person with great talent must not be burdened by the worldly world, otherwise it will be difficult for him to become famous in the future. These are just external things. When you graduate from Heluo College, you can find another one." Give me the opportunity."
Zhuge Liang was so moved that he said, "Sir, don't worry, Liang will complete his studies as quickly as possible. If you don't give up, sir, Liang is willing to work hard and die!"
"Well, hahaha, you are a very mature kid. I don't want you to work hard and die. If you study hard, there will naturally be a place for you to display your talents in the future."
After Xun Yu finished speaking, he bowed his hands to the teacher on the side and said, "Okay, Xun Yu has important matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
"Okay, sir, walk slowly."
"Farewell, no farewell."
···
Inn.
Four-year-old Zhuge Jun was lying on the desk practicing calligraphy, looking toward the door from time to time.
Next to them, two sisters were learning to put on the soles of shoes with their aunt, but they also looked outside the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Just an hour ago, another servant of Zhuge Liang brought back the news that he passed the examination of Heluo Academy.
When Zhuge Xuan heard the news, he was so excited that he rushed over to pick him up.
But it's been an hour now, why hasn't anyone come back yet?
Just as the four of them were looking forward to it, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhuge Jun heard the sound and hurriedly ran towards the door.
But when he saw a few travelers walking by chatting and laughing, Zhuge Jun suddenly looked disappointed.
"Little brother, you are distracted again. Brother said, when practicing calligraphy, be careful not to be distracted, otherwise no matter how many words you write, it will be in vain."
Zhuge Jun looked at his sister, stuck out his tongue, made a face, and said, "I want you to take care of it."
When his sister saw this, she picked up the sole of her shoe and was about to beat him. Zhuge Jun was so frightened that he ran out the door.
'Bang' sound.
Zhuge Jun bumped into someone outside the door. He looked up and shouted happily: "Uncle!"
Zhuge Xuan had a smile on his face. If he usually saw Zhuge Jun running around like this, he would definitely scold him, but today it was uncharacteristically the same.
"Hahaha, Jun'er is here specifically to greet me and your brother!"
"Brother is back too!"
Zhuge Jun looked over and saw Zhuge Liang looking at him with a smile on his face. The two boys behind him were carrying large and small bags of items.
"Wow, it's cake!"
Zhuge Jun was sharp-eyed, which made Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang both angry and funny.
In the house, my aunt and two sisters also came out to welcome him. When they saw Zhuge Liang, the two sisters rushed towards him.
"A Liang, they said you passed the examination of Heluo College. Is it true?"
"The shopkeeper downstairs also said that he would give us a free bill. He just sent a bottle of wine as a congratulatory gift."
Zhuge Liang first greeted his aunt, and then answered the two sisters. Everyone was overjoyed to learn that he not only passed the examination, but also received the support and attention of a big shot.
Zhu Ge "
"Okay, okay, my Liang'er is going to be successful." The aunt was so happy that she shed tears. She had always treated her children as her own. Now that her children have become successful, she is happier than anyone else.
When Zhuge Liang saw his aunt crying, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her. At the same time, he took an oil paper bag from the boy's hand and said, "Auntie, look, this is your favorite peach blossom cake. Liang'er bought it specially to honor your aunt."
"Peach blossom cake!" The two sisters couldn't help but swallowed. These days in Luoyang were too difficult. They were used to being pampered and privileged. They had never lived such a hard life. Not to mention the peach blossom cake, even the batter was not sticky at all. Eaten too much.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang opened the oil paper bag and divided it among everyone. Even the two boys responsible for protecting him were not left behind.
"Auntie, after eating the peach blossom cake, let's collect the gifts together."
"Receive a salute?"
"Yes, Mr. Xun has a house in the east of the city. He said he would let us live in it for a while. Mr. Xun also gave him all these things."
Zhuge Liang took a cloth bag from the boy's hand and took out dozens of tickets inside, including food stamps, meat stamps, pastry stamps, etc., and there was also a sewing ticket that was hard to find on the market.
"That's great, our A Liang is really promising!"
