Prime Minister Jincheng's Mansion, in the wing room in the backyard, Huang Yueying was sitting in front of the table with a writing brush in hand, looking at the fallen leaves in the yard, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
On the desk, there are inkstones that have been polished with ink and papers with half written text on them.
At this time, a figure appeared at the door of the wing, blocking the light in the wing and making the room slightly darker.
"Why did Alang finish handling government affairs so early today?"
Huang Yueying looked over and saw that it was her Alang.
Zhuge Liang walked calmly, unhurriedly, and the handsome middle-aged man had an elegant smile on his face.
"These days, there is nothing going on in the Han Dynasty. Li De'ang in the south has secured the pass and the rebels cannot advance. Deng Bomiao in the east has already met Sun Quan at this time. Soochow intends to reconcile with the Han Dynasty. With Deng Bomiao's ability, I think I will not be disappointed this time. The big man can finally settle down this time, and I will be lazy today."
"This is a good thing." Huang Yueying put down her pen and stood up to face Zhuge Liang. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she just blocked Zhuge Liang's gaze and prevented him from seeing what was written on the letter paper on his desk. "Alang, please sit down first." Come on down, I’ll go get you a bowl of water.”
Zhuge Liang smacked his lips, this little gentleman of his was too smart, and sometimes that was not a good thing.
She didn't show much expression on her face, so she had to obey Huang Yueying's wishes. After sitting down on the other side, she pretended to ask casually: "What are you writing, Mr. Xi?"
"This is a reply to Feng Dalang."
Huang Yueying put the water in front of Zhuge Liang, turned around and sat down, and smiled secretly when she heard Zhuge Liang's question.
As a pillow person, how could she not know what kind of person Alang was? It was rare today that I finished handling government affairs so early. I asked this question as soon as I walked in. It was most likely because of that boy's letter.
"That kid, didn't I just write you a letter a few days ago? Why am I writing now? Why do I have so many things to say to you?"
In this day and age, it is common for a letter from home to come and go only once every two or three years, but two letters a month seems too frequent.
"Alang doesn't like him, so what does it matter?" Huang Yueying glanced at Zhuge Liang and continued, "Besides, this is between him and me, why does Alang care about this?"
"That kid is too naughty, so I don't like him now. But if we just talk about his talent, he is impressive."
As the prime minister of a country, Zhuge Liang would naturally not deliberately belittle a younger generation because of his own likes and dislikes, but would just express his own opinions objectively.
"Look at Guan Ji again. She is usually indifferent to everyone. I never thought she would go to all the trouble for him. It seems that he is also a deceiver. Don't let me, Mr. Xi, be deceived by him. ”
"Alang bluntly said that he is clever in his words, so why bother talking about Guan Ji? Sanniang can be regarded as being brought up by my concubine single-handedly. Doesn't Alang's statement mean that I am incapable of discipline?"
Huang Yueying pretended to be displeased and said, "When Feng Dalang and A Lang met for the first time, he gave A Lang a lot of advice, and that's why A Lang was called a young hero. I never thought that he would offend a lot of people because of this, and he would be criticized by that good deed." The disciple has acquired the reputation of being a clever talker, and others don’t know, why does Alang follow the same saying?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Yueying helplessly and said in his heart, isn't that kid a clever talker? Look at Xijun, you can actually say such things to me because of him.
"Xijun has never looked like this, even when I was disciplining Bo Song. I don't know how that boy did it, and he actually asked you to speak like this for him."
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang is still a little resentful. Xijun is Bosong's aunt, and judging from his appearance, he actually cares more about that boy than his own son.
"Bosong can't make a curved shaft plow, let alone an eight-oxen plow, and he can't let the Han Dynasty harvest 10% or 20% more grain." Huang Yueying glanced at Zhuge Liang, "As for the strategy of colonizing Hanzhong, there is no need for concubines. Are you ready to lift your body again?"
"Besides, Bo Song is already in his prime, has a stable temperament, and you are the prime minister. How can anyone dare to bully him? And what about Feng Dalang? Not to mention his poor life, he is only ten years old. Six, you’re still young, why don’t you pay more attention to me?”
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang finally guessed what the boy said in his letter to his wife.
I was angry and funny at the moment, and I didn't know what to say, "The boy was bullied in Hanzhong? And he wrote a letter to Xijun crying about it? I didn't expect that such a naughty boy would be bullied one day." "
"You are so young, you have traveled so far, and you are not familiar with the place. Besides, after you have made such great achievements, you were sent to that desolate place. People who don't know it think they have offended you. , No matter how talented you are, what can you do? Isn’t it human nature for others to step on you in order to please you? "
Huang Yueying glanced at Zhuge Liang angrily.
"Xijun, are you making trouble unreasonably?" Zhuge Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even if you don't know the reason, seeing Erlang of the Zhao family following you, and Bosong watching over there, how many people in this big Han Dynasty can Bully him?"
"There are not many people, but that is to say, there are still people."
"That kid doesn't make people worry. There are only a few big men who can bully him. How can he mess with him?"
"It wasn't him who caused the problem, it was someone else who came to the door." Huang Yueying's face had a look of injustice, "What a good boy. He stayed peacefully in Hanzhong and didn't cause any trouble. You said he became a prince. Why are you bullying a child now that you are a human being?"
"So Wei Wenchang is causing trouble for him?" Zhuge Liang smiled and finally confirmed what the boy was crying about to Xijun in the letter. "It seems that he was bullied quite a lot. What did Wei Wenchang do to him?"
"Alang is still pretending to be like this, do you really don't know?"
Huang Yueying glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang.
"Why don't you just marry a peasant woman on his farm?" Zhuge Liang was exposed and looked a little embarrassed. He said "tsk", "This is a good thing that many people can't ask for. That woman will be a peasant woman on his farm all her life." Well, is it better to go to the Wei Mansion and become a concubine? Besides, although that woman is called a concubine, she is the mistress of the house, which is a great thing."
"It's a good thing for the woman, but what about Feng Dalang? Is that a marriage? It's obviously a robbery! When Wei Wenchang did this, did he ever think about Feng Dalang's feelings? Besides, how did Alang know that Wei Wenchang would not marry his wife again in the future? ?”
"Wenchang Wei is the prefect of Hanzhong and a prince after all. When do we need to consider the feelings of Feng Mingwen, a peasant official of Hanzhong?" Zhuge Liang looked disapproving, "So what about the young hero? The world is so big, how can everyone in the world be defeated?" With him?"
Seeing that Huang Yueying was about to speak again, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and stopped her, "I know what Xijun wants to say, and I also know that Xijun loves the child very much, but listen to me first."
Huang Yueying heard the words "that kid" from Zhuge Liang's mouth for the first time, and she knew that although her Alang seemed to dislike Feng Wen, he still cared about him in his heart.
"When he was in Jincheng, I really allowed him to escape, and I didn't bother with his little calculations. Even if he went to Hanzhong, if I gave the order, I could protect him from anyone in Hanzhong. Dare to provoke him. But is this really beneficial to him?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were distant, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
"If you are extremely intelligent, you will hurt your body, and if you are extremely arrogant, you will lose your life. This son studied under a famous family and is extremely talented. He already has a lot of arrogance. If you and I follow his will again, it will surely breed harm to everyone in the world." But that’s how it feels.”
"A gentleman should be as gentle as jade. If he relies on his talent and does not take the world into consideration, how many people will achieve good results? Gan Luo was the prime minister at the age of twelve, and then died young. He recommended himself, and relied on his three-inch tongue to force himself. With an army of millions, he committed suicide because of defeat. Recently, Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu were beheaded for trivial matters; and..."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes showed an indescribable feeling, "And that Guan Junhou... I really don't think that this rare young hero, the big man, will become arrogant because he succeeds at a young age, so he is called an arrogant person." Man is his whetstone.”
"Wei Wenchang?"
Huang Yueying finally understood.
"Yes," Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, "How similar is Wei Wenchang's attitude of arrogance to the people of the world to that of Guan Yunchang? I asked him to polish that kid's temperament, and I also want to temper that kid's temperament."
Huang Yueying breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at her A Lang with eyes full of pity: "A Lang really worked hard for this big man."
"Since I promised the late emperor, how dare I not try my best?" Zhuge Liang sighed, "It's just that the big man is in danger now, and this kid is really a rare talent. Let's polish it first so that he can be used in the future. Take on big responsibilities.”
"Then let's just forget about it?"
Huang Yueying hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"How can we calculate it?" Zhuge Liang's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Young master, don't forget, I just said that I want to test Wei Wenchang's temperament. That naughty boy is still good, although Arrogant, but arrogant in his bones, he always pays off. Wei Wenchang really looks down on others, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't end up well."
"Then what are Alang going to do?"
As a woman, Huang Yueying is usually very measured. As long as Zhuge Liang doesn't take the initiative to talk about it, she will not interfere with family and country affairs. But now that Feng Yong had written to her about this matter, she was worried about how to reply. Now seeing that Alang was willing to talk about it, she asked.
"Xi Jun, do you know why Wei Wenchang suddenly thought of marrying a concubine after losing his wife for so many years?"
"Why?"
Zhuge Liang showed a hint of ridicule, "It's because the big families in Shu saw that Hanzhong was now profitable, so they approached Wei Wenchang and wanted to marry the daughter of the aristocratic family as a stepmother."
Huang Yueying was stunned: "Is there such a thing? These people... are really..."
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t know what words to use to express it.
"Then what does this have to do with Wei Wenchang's trouble with that boy?"
"How come there is no contact?" Zhuge Liang glanced at his subordinate, knowing that she could not remember the connection at the moment, and continued to explain, "The three major governors of the Han Dynasty, whether they are Nanzhong or Yong'an, all only supervise the army and do not care about government affairs. , only Wei Wenchang is more special, he is both the governor of Hanzhong and the prefect of Hanzhong. This didn't matter before, after all, there were not many people in Hanzhong, but now..."
"Alang wants to leave the post of prefect of Wei Wenchang?"
Huang Yueying is indeed Zhuge Liang's woman, and she suddenly wakes up.
"This is for the good of Wei Wen. Otherwise... after all, the Huang Yuan Rebellion was put down by His Majesty himself."
The Huang Yuan Rebellion happened when Zhuge Liang went to Yong'an to receive orders. Huang Yuan, the prefect of Hanjia, rebelled on the pretext that Liu Bei was seriously ill and that he had conflicts with Zhuge Liang and that he was afraid of being persecuted.
At that time, the prince Adou was guarding Jincheng. After listening to Yang Hong's advice, he sent general Chen Ao to calm down easily.
Although Zhuge Liang said it in a confused way, Huang Yueying understood it and nodded immediately, finally understanding.
"Then what reason did Alang give for taking the post of Wei Wenchang's prefect?"
"Marrying a concubine with the etiquette of marrying a wife is too much. Does this count?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, as if he was holding the pearl of wisdom.
"Of course, in this way, Feng Mingwen has regained some face."
Huang Yueying also laughed.
"Not only that, but it can also turn off the minds of those wealthy families. I think no one would want to marry someone who doesn't follow the etiquette and law again, right? Otherwise, wouldn't those wealthy families who pass down their families with poems and books slap themselves in the face?"
"In this way, I will know how to reply to him."
Damn it, this old demon Zhuge is really someone who is not willing to let go even if he grabs a toad and urinates. When he received Huang Yueying's reply, Feng Yong was simply dumbfounded. He felt that this guy's ability to become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was not just blown away.
Now that Hanzhong is being reclaimed by Daxing, it is foreseeable that Hanzhong will not only have an increasing population, but will also become the most important grain-producing place for the imperial court. After all, most of the fields in Shu are not in your hands, but you can in Hanzhong.
At the beginning, Wei Yan first became the prefect of Hanzhong and then the governor of Hanzhong.
According to the custom of the Han Dynasty, the governor was only responsible for the military affairs, while government affairs were under the control of the prefect. This was not only the case in Nanzhong, but also Li Yan, the governor of Yong'an, the Tuogu minister.
But Wei Yan was an exception. He was both a prefect and a governor, and could be said to be in charge of both military and political affairs. This didn't matter before, because Hanzhong was so desolate and there were no common people, so where would the government affairs come from?
But things are different now. A country rogue presented a strategy to the Han Dynasty Prime Minister to colonize Hanzhong, and the importance of the position of governor began to be highlighted.
Instead of waiting for Hanzhong to become a prosperous place and for everyone to react before making plans, it is better to take action now while the signs are just emerging.
This old demon Zhuge is really quick and ruthless.
Although the position of prefect is of no use now, it is still a title. Wei Yan was inexplicably reduced from one position. How could he, who was so arrogant and arrogant, endure this tone?
But what the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty said was definitely correct. He couldn't resist, so he had to find other places to vent his anger. The culprit, Feng Tubiao, rushed to Hanzhong without hesitation, and even found him and took the initiative to deliver the goods to his door... …
What the hell, it’s like killing a husky!
Feng Yong could only curse in his heart, politics is so dirty!
I am a good fighter for the country and the people!
Can you lie down like this?
