Kong Ming raised his head and looked at Yu Yi, but he didn't expect that Yu Yi was also looking at him. He was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty is wise and will not have anything to do with a villain or a wise minister, so I deleted this sentence." Yu Yi. Yi smiled and said: "To ensure the continuity of the article, I think it would be better to add it, so you can just add it."
So Kong Ming took paper and pen and added this paragraph. Yu Yi patted Kong Ming's shoulder and said: "Tomorrow in the court, you can take out the apprenticeship list. Let's discuss the details in detail. I want Sima Yi to Now that this old thief has been demoted, it is a great opportunity for us to regain the Central Plains."
In this way, Yu Yi's request to add the finishing touch to the originally incomplete "Lecture Notes" became a famous story passed down by future generations.
In Xuchang, Sima Yi returned home. Zhang Chunhua was playing with his eldest son Sima Shi and second son Sima Zhao. Zhang Chunhua saw that Sima Yi was unhappy and hurriedly stepped forward to ask why. Sima Yi explained: "Your Majesty listened to the slander and spared me. Military power, now I have no choice but to go home."
Zhang Chunhua comforted him: "It's okay to go home."
Sima Yi entered the house and became angrier as he thought about it. He threw the tea cup handed over by Zhang Chunhua and said angrily: "This must be the idea of Yu Yi and Kong Ming. Unfortunately, I don't have the leading authority in Cao Wei, so I can only let it go."
The two children were frightened by this scene and hurriedly ran out to play. Zhang Chunhua silently tidied up the debris and said: "Previously, Yu Yi was just the king of Jingzhou and was restricted by Liu Bei everywhere. Later, Yu Yi became the emperor on his own. Then things will change." It's been a lot smoother, why don't you imitate Yu Yi and replace the Cao family?"
Sima Yi was very surprised after hearing this. He quickly covered Zhang Chunhua's mouth and said, "I was demoted by the new emperor because of this incident this time. If word spreads, Cao Rui really thinks I have different intentions, then I can't It's so simple to rest at home, but to rebel is to destroy the nine tribes."
Zhang Chunhua shook his head helplessly and said, "What else should we do?"
Sima Yi stood up again and said to himself: "No, I can't give up like this." After that, he ordered Zhang Chunhua to close the door, refuse to see guests, pretend to be sick at home, and then found his cronies. , he returned to Yongzhou around three o'clock that night. He was going to study the situation of the demon star and draw some strength to prove that there was no way to deal with it on the battlefield. Then he would find a way from the side battlefield. The ultimate goal was to defeat Yu Yi. As for Zhang Chunhua's suggestion, Sima Yi Although he directly denied it, he began to have this idea from this time on, laying the groundwork for future usurpation.
The next day, in the court hall of Xichuan, Yu Yi appeared on the Hanzhong Palace, majestic in all directions. Kong Ming took out the discharge list and handed it to Yu Yi to read. Yu Yi read the discharge list again and said: "It's very well written. ." After saying that, he asked the ministers to circulate the list of teachers.
After a long time, a minister came out and suggested: "Not long ago, the prime minister led his troops on the southern expedition, which was difficult and dangerous. He just returned to Chengdu and completed the details of countering the rebellion. Now we have just moved the capital to Hanzhong, and the soldiers have not had a rest yet. Isn’t it too hard to prepare for the northern expedition?”
Kong Ming said: "I have been entrusted by the late emperor with a heavy responsibility, and I dare not slack off every day. Now that the south has been pacified, I have no worries. In addition, Cao Rui of the Central Plains has just ascended the throne and his position is unstable. If I don't take this opportunity to attack the Han traitors in the Central Plains, How long will it take to restore the Han Dynasty?"
Suddenly Qiaozhou, the Taishi of the class, came out and said: "I have been observing the sky at night recently. The atmosphere from the north is very strong and the stars are shining. I'm afraid there is no chance and we can't go to the north." He reported to Yuyi, then turned to Kongming and said: "As far as I know, the Prime Minister also understands astronomy. Why do you want to force the Northern Expedition?"
Kong Ming said: "We cannot control the changes in the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is also in a constant cycle. How can we be too cautious?" After saying that, he walked to Yuyi again, bowed and said, "I hope your majesty can approve it. I will lead the soldiers in Shu to conquer the Northern Expedition and restore the Han Dynasty."
After hearing Taishi Qiaozhou's report, Yu Yi felt a little strange, thinking that Sima Yi had obviously been demoted. Could it be that there were other powerful figures in Cao Wei? Then he asked: "Tai Shi, can you explain why Cao Wei's aura is so strong? Is there any way to defeat this aura?"
He replied: "This is the way of heaven and cannot be done by human beings."
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Since I can't determine the reason for not attacking Cao Wei, then I think it is right for the Prime Minister to go north to the Central Plains. However, we need to take a long-term view. We can first mobilize all the troops and generals to Hanzhong to gather and sit and observe the situation in the Central Plains. Once If there is a change, immediately cross Qi Mountain and send troops to the Central Plains!"
Qiao Zhou tried hard to dissuade him: "We haven't had the chance to attack Cao Wei in the Northern Expedition yet, so please, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, think twice!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Tai Shi, don't be too nervous. Astronomical matters are inherently illusory. If all decisions are controlled by astronomical matters, then you and I, the monarchs and ministers, can just lie at home and sleep. Astronomical matters will dominate government affairs and water conservancy. This is obvious. It’s ridiculous.”
After hearing this, other people felt that it made sense, and more and more people supported the Northern Expedition.
Kong Ming bowed and said: "We don't have any complete set of experience in the Northern Expedition, so we can try it first."
So with Yu Yi's approval, Kong Ming retained Guo Youzhi, Dong Yun, Fei Yi and others as his attendants to assist in handling the various government affairs in the palace, and left Xiang Chong as a general to assist Yu Daye in supervising the forest troops and horses. Jiang Wan joined the army, and Zhang Yi As the long history, he is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister's office; Du Qiong is the admonishment official; Du Wei and Yang Hong are the ministers; Meng Guang and Laimin are the ministers; Yin Mo and Li Zhuan are the doctors; Que Zheng and Fei Shi are the secretaries; Qiao Zhou was Taishi. There are more than a hundred civil and military officials at home and abroad who share the same concerns about matters in Shuzhong.
In fact, Yu Yi should have made these arrangements himself, but he did not understand the ancient bureaucratic system and was too lazy to learn, so he asked Kong Ming to make the arrangements and do what he wanted to do.
Kongming then decided on the candidates for the Northern Expedition, including Wei Yan, Zhang Yi, the governor of Fufeng, General Wang Ping, general Anhan, Li Hui, the governor of Jianning, General Dingyuan, Lu Yi, the governor of Hanzhong, General Pingbei, and Marquis Chencang. Ma Dai, Feiwei General Liao Hua, Fenwei General, Boyang Tinghou Ma Zhong, Firong General, Guan Neihou Zhang Yi, Chariot General, Duxiang Hou Liu Yan, Yangwu General Deng Zhi, Anyuan General Ma Su, Duting Hou Yuan Wei, Hou Wu Yi of Gaoyang, Duxin Zhonglang General Ding Xian, Pioneer General Liu Min, Dianjun Zhonglang General Guan Yong, Zhaowu Zhonglang General Hu Ji, Admonishment General Yan Yan, Pi General Du Yi, Wu Luezhong Lang Jiang Du Qi, Wu Lue Zhong Lang Jiang Fan Qi, Fan Jian, Dong Jue, Longxiang General Guan Xing, Huyi General Zhang Bao, Kongming himself was the governor of Pingbei, prime minister, Wuxiang Marquis, leader of Yizhou Mu, and general manager. All affairs of the Northern Expedition.
After Yu Yi reviewed these appointments, he discovered many generals that he had never known before. He also admired Kong Ming's military talents. With a stroke of his pen, he confirmed the plan for the Northern Expedition. Then the personnel appointments were immediately communicated, causing a sensation within Xichuan. .
