Partition walls have ears.
When someone heard these words from Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao smiled instead of getting angry: "This son is very close to my heart."
"In that case, it would be a bit unwise if I didn't give any indication."
Huang Yi, who was standing by, said disapprovingly: "Is it worth all the trouble for you to be a mere brat?"
"If you ask me, it would be better to demote Zhuge Xuan's family to common people as a warning!"
"If you fall in love with that boy named Zhuge Liang, why not just let him be your follower?"
Speaking of Zhuge Liang, Yuan Yao couldn't help but starry eyes: "Although this boy is young, he already has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix; given time, when he grows up, his talents will be even better than those of Guan Zhong and Le Yi!" "
"And his ambition is far beyond the reach of others. If he is insulted lightly, it will only be counterproductive."
Huang Yi's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief written on his face: "You can just leave it here, Guan Zhong and Le Yi, how can they have so many talents?"
Yuan Yao shook his head: "You will see it later."
"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years!"
"Zhuge Liang is the Guan Zhong and Le Yi of this era; he not only has the talent to govern and secure the country, but also has the ability to use soldiers like a god!"
Seeing that Huang Yi was still curling his lips, Yuan Yao didn't explain much. He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Luling is newly conquered, so Zhuge Xuan can go and become the county magistrate."
"As for Zhuge Xuan's little boy, Luling Mountain is high and the roads are far away. There have been many inconveniences in the past. I, the general, are willing to raise his wife and children for him, so he doesn't have to worry about it!"
…
On that day, Huang Yi read out Yuan Yao's measures to Zhuge Xuan.
When he heard that Yuan Yao had only demoted him to be the magistrate of Luling County, Zhuge Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Luling County is not a small county, but one of the largest cities in Yuzhang County.
The county magistrate also has the highest rank of 800 shi. Although it is much lower than the 2000 shi of being a prefect, it is still a practical position.
This is much better than the ending he expected of being demoted to a commoner and expelled from the country.
Even if he could go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao, a scholar from other counties, who could be a subordinate official such as a meritorious official, was already good enough. How could he possibly get the real job of serving as the head of a large county in front of many local aristocratic families? ?
Perhaps as his nephew said, Yuan Yao just wanted to teach him a lesson. Given time, can I still be appointed as the head of a county?
So when Huang Yi finished speaking, Zhuge Xuan immediately bowed and said: "Zhuge Xuan is willing to take the blame and serve as the head of Luling."
"We must learn lessons from now on and practice benevolence and righteousness. Treat the people with generosity and kindness, and serve the king with respect."
Huang Yi didn't expect Zhuge Xuan to agree so happily, and for a moment he doubted that the person in front of him was still the Yuzhang Prefect who talked about his father half a month ago?
"Did Governor Zhuge miss something? Do you need my nephew to repeat it again?"
Zhuge Xuan was about to agree, but his wife poked him in the waist.
I heard Mrs. Huang say from behind: "Do you really want to abandon me and my son?"
Zhu Ge
After a while, Zhuge Xuan's expression became uncertain after he figured out the whole story.
The mountains are high and the roads are far away, it's just an excuse to take hostages.
After all, I still can’t trust Zhuge Xuan!
Huang Yi looked at Mrs. Huang who was weeping to herself, and then at Mrs. Huang's swaddled baby, and she was also a little moved.
"Auntie, please don't do this. My uncle is not going to Luling to take office today. There may be room for change in this matter. Let my nephew think of a solution in the next few days."
Not only did these words not have a comforting effect, but instead made Huang burst into tears, and the baby in her arms also burst into tears. The whole scene was like a separation between life and death.
"Aunt, please don't cry. My nephew doesn't want to separate my aunt, mother and son from my uncle. My nephew will definitely try his best to fight for this."
Huang's mother and son just cried harder.
Huang Yi hated seeing a woman cry the most, so he stamped his foot and said:
"I have made the decision on this matter. Auntie can go to Luling with my uncle!"
Huang immediately raised her head and hugged little Zhuge Dan tightly in her arms: "What about Dan'er? Do you want my mother and son to be separated?"
Huang Yi gritted his teeth: "My son is still in his infancy, so naturally he will go with his aunt!"
"Dan'er, if you grow up, don't forget the kindness of your brother Huang Yi." Mrs. Huang expressed her gratitude.
Huang Yi helped Huang up and said to her and Zhuge Xuan: "Uncle, aunt, without further ado, while I still have the title of appointment and the seal of Luling County Magistrate, you can set off today. When you go to Luling to take office, my soldiers will escort you all the way until you arrive safely at Luling City."
Zhuge Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed Huang Yi and asked, "What about my two nephews and two nieces?"
Huang Yi said with a bitter look on his face: "Uncle, do you want me to die?"
"I have violated the order by letting you and your family go."
"If there is no explanation at all to General Yuan, then it is uncertain whether my nephew will survive until tomorrow."
Zhuge Xuan said: "You are Yuan Yao...General Yuan's brother-in-law, and you are close to him. He will not do anything to you. I have made such a big mistake, but I can still be demoted and retained, you..."
Zhu Ge There are also nieces and the others, who are taken care of by the eldest brother Yi'er..."
"As long as you, an old fool, take care of yourself, Liang'er Jun'er and the others won't have to worry about you!"
Mrs. Huang is a sensible person, but she doesn't know whether her husband understands the hidden meaning of her words.
Zhuge Xuan was still hesitant. At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who had been standing behind the curtain, walked out.
"Uncle, my aunt is fine."
"I've met Captain Huang."
Zhuge Liang said politely:
"My nephew is over fifteen, which is the time when he is determined to study; he should travel around and experience worldly affairs."
"I have long heard that General Yuan has many famous scholars and scholars under his command. Zheng Wengong and He Shulong are all famous for their talent, learning and moral character. They are rare people in the south."
"My nephew has long wanted to learn and seek advice, and he hopes that his uncle will fulfill his wish!"
"In terms of seniority and age, I should call Huang Duwei brother and ask him to pay homage to me. I have heard for a long time that Brother Xian is General Yuan's associate. In the future, I would like to ask my brother to take care of me and introduce me to my brother. "
