After drinking a jar of Jie Qianchou, Yang Qing resigned from Pu Yuan and left General Si Jinzhonglang's house. When he returned home, he suddenly remembered something and immediately summoned Wu Que.
"Shu Qi, I have something I want you to do immediately."
Wu Que clasped his fists and responded: "Join the army and take direct control of the orders, go through fire and water, and even die without hesitation!"
"Haha, it's not that dangerous. All you have to do is disguise yourself and sneak into Wei territory and go to Fufeng County to find someone."
Wu Que asked, "May I ask who it is?"
Yang Qing stood up and stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the dusk outside the door and said: "This man's surname is Ma Jun, from Fufeng. He is a famous craftsman." After a pause, he added: "His family is poor, and he should have a stutter. What's wrong with me, are you sure you can find this person?"
"This person has obvious characteristics. It is not difficult to find him." Wu Que thought for a while and replied firmly.
"Well." Yang Qing continued: "After you find this person, tell him that I admire his talent and ask him to be an official in Hanzhong. If he agrees, you will bring his family to Hanzhong. Remember, this It’s best to do things without anyone noticing, and successfully bring people back.”
"yes."
Wu Que asked again: "Just joining the army... If Ma Jun doesn't want to go to Hanzhong, what should Que do?"
"You are stupid, you have to tie him back even if you tie him up." Before Yang Qing could answer, Zhou Xing suddenly said at the side.
"This is a last resort. We still have to respect etiquette." Yang Qing said calmly while looking at the sky.
Wu Que looked at Yang Qing's expression and felt determined. He bowed and replied, "Don't worry about joining the army. Que will definitely invite Ma Jun back to Hanzhong."
"Well, you go back and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow." Yang Qing waved his hand and told Wu Que to leave.
After a while, Zhou Xing asked softly: "Joining the army, who is that Ma Jun? He deserves to be so valued by joining the army."
"This man is also a skilled craftsman, and his talent is not inferior to Pu Yuan Pu Gong. If we get this man, my big man's weapons will be even sharper."
If it hadn't been for meeting Pu Yuan today, Yang Qing would have really forgotten about the genius Ma Jun. Although this man is now from Wei, he is not taken seriously by the powerful people in Wei because of his status as a craftsman. If he meets Yang Qing sent someone to invite him, believing that he would definitely be willing to come to Shuhan to show his ambitions.
Besides, the pseudo-Wei was only established for six or seven years, and the people in the north still had memories of the Han Dynasty. I believe that Ma Jun was not the kind of die-hard loyalist to Cao Wei. If he was determined to be loyal to the Cao family wholeheartedly, Wu Que would have no choice but to use extraordinary measures. Such talents cannot be left to Cao Wei.
The next day, Yang Qing was about to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Zhuge Liang to make up for the deception of Pu Yuan. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he learned from the chief secretary Yang Yong that Zhuge Liang was not here but at his home. He also said that today the Prime Minister They won’t come to the Prime Minister’s Mansion anymore.
Oh, this is strange. With the Prime Minister's style, it is rare for him to be willing to rest at home for a whole day.
Yang Qing had some doubts in his heart and hurried to Zhuge Liang's mansion. After announcing his arrival, he knew the reason.
It turned out that Mrs. Zhuge was pregnant, so Zhuge Liang reluctantly took a day to stay with her at home. I guess the child in Huang Yueying's belly was Zhuge Zhan.
It's just that Huang Yueying is still pregnant despite her age. Driven by curiosity, Yang Qing learned from Zhuge Guo that Huang Yueying is only thirty-six years old. In this way, pregnancy at this age is considered normal.
It turns out that Huang Yueying is nine years younger than Zhuge Liang. She married Zhuge Liang when she was sixteen. She gave birth to Zhuge Guo the following year and never got pregnant again. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant again this year. Although she was not an ordinary woman, she still felt guilty for not giving Zhuge Liang a son.
Fortunately, God has mercy on her, and now that she is pregnant, there is a possibility of giving birth to a boy. If God bless her, her wish will be fulfilled next year.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Haha, Mingzhi is here, sit down."
Zhuge Liang is a person who can control his expression very well, but now the joy on his face is undisguised, which shows that he is extremely happy in his heart.
But yes, Zhuge Liang must be in a very good mood recently. First he became a grandfather, and now he is going to be a father again. It can be said to be a double happiness, which will make everyone's face full of joy.
Smiling.
"What brings you here, kid?" Zhuge Liang asked after Zhuge Guo personally served tea in the flower hall.
Yang Qing thought to himself that today was the right time. The prime minister was in a good mood at the moment, and there was a high probability that he would be able to grant what he asked for.
So he asked Pu Yuan to go with him to Hanzhong in advance. After Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, he felt that his words were reasonable, so he readily agreed.
"Sir." While the two were talking, Zhuge Qiao walked in with a young child in his arms.
He nodded to Yang Qing again: "Brother Ming, long time no see."
"It's been a long time, Bo Song. Since I returned to Chengdu, you and I finally bumped into each other today." Yang Qing stood up and returned the salute.
"Pan'er, come to my uncle. You two haven't seen each other for many years. It's time to catch up on old times." Seeing his grandson coming, Zhuge Liang happily hugged him over.
After Zhuge Liang hugged Zhuge Pan and walked away, Zhuge Qiao sat down and said: "I was supposed to go to see my brother Qiao, but my brother was busy with official duties and never found the opportunity. Fortunately, my brother came today. Otherwise, when my brother went to Hanzhong, Qiao would probably It’s even harder to see.”
"Haha, Bo Song now has both a husband and a Lin'er. You are really envious of others. To say the least, I haven't congratulated you yet." After saying this, he cupped his fists in congratulations.
Zhuge Qiao thanked him with a shy smile and said, "In addition to paying homage to my brother, I also want to ask my uncle how they are doing?"
The uncle he mentioned was his biological father Zhuge Jin. After Yang Qing came back from Soochow a few days ago, he also brought Zhuge Jin's family letter to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Qiao thought that he was thinking about his family in Soochow, and when he heard that Yang Qing was coming, he came to ask Zhuge Liang. The situation of Jin’s family.
Zhuge Liang must have guessed what Zhuge Qiao was thinking, so he walked away and left him time and space.
Yang Qing told everything he knew. Zhuge Qiao listened attentively and asked questions carefully. When he heard that his brother Zhuge Ke was embarrassed, he laughed heartily.
After talking about interesting things for a while, Yang Qing saw that it was getting late and said goodbye. Before leaving, he met Zhuge Qiao's wife, who was indeed a gentle and beautiful woman. After seeing the ceremony, he bowed his hands to everyone and said goodbye.
"Joining the army, where should we go next?" Zhou Xing asked outside the window after getting on the carriage.
After Yang Qing pondered for a moment, he said: "Find a place to eat first, and then go to the Chengdu County Temple."
He decided to look for Li Yu later and invite him to go to Hanzhong with him. This person helped him a lot when he first arrived in Chengdu. The relationship between the two has always been very good, and Li Yu was also quite talented. It was a good idea to transfer him to Hanzhong. In return, there are many helpers.
The Northern Expedition is about to begin, and it cannot be separated from the concerted efforts of talented people from all over the world. Ji Han lives in a corner of Yizhou. The population of gentry is far less than that of Cao Wei, so the talents are not as prosperous as Cao Wei. Therefore, Yang Qing hopes to cultivate a group of talents from the bottom as much as possible. talents to make up for the lack of manpower.
When Li Yu learned of Yang Qing's intention, he agreed. He had been serving as a county captain in Chengdu for several years and had long wanted to take a step further.
Although he has to stay away from the capital now, as a descendant of our family, he has also heard some news that Hanzhong will be the best place to make achievements in the near future.
So Yang Qing persuaded him without any effort at all. As for his treatment, he would definitely not be able to escape the position of county magistrate.
After convincing Li Yu, Yang Qing could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind. As long as he waited for the appointment edict to be issued, he could start his journey north.
