Chapter 23 seems to have been tricked (updated for Princess Gu Yue’s support)
Something is wrong!
Feng Yong's heart sank. Zhuge Lao Yao's acting skills were too exaggerated! Zhao Si also said these words when Liu Bei was preparing to attack Soochow. How could he not know? Although the words may not be exactly the same, the meaning is always the same.
Looking at Zhao Si, the old man seemed to have heard nothing and did not even look at Feng Yong.
Oh shit! Something doesn't seem right, am I being tricked? Feng Yong felt completely unsure.
“Such talents are wasted in the countryside. Are you interested in becoming an official in the imperial court, Mr. Feng?” Old Demon Zhuge asked with a smile. He was very amiable, except for the words “I am a good person” written on his face.
But Feng Yong clearly saw the fox tail that was constantly wagging behind him.
"The boy has a hidden illness. If he becomes an official in the court, I'm afraid he will bring shame to the court. I'd better avoid it, right?"
The uneasy feeling in my heart became more and more serious. There must be something wrong, but I didn't think of it at the moment.
"That's alright. Most of the people in the mountain gate are comfortable people, so I can't force it. But now the Han Dynasty is in danger. Since you are out of the mountain in Shu, you can't just stand by and watch, right? Let me tell you, in your opinion, how to solve the current situation. Sleepy?"
Feng Yong was thinking about what was wrong, and replied absently: "Now the Han Dynasty seems to be in danger, but it is not. With General Wei in the north, he can protect Hanzhong from worries. Although there is a rebellion in the south, he only needs to order Once the general seclusions to guard the people, the southern barbarians will not be able to advance northward. When the weapons and equipment are completed in the future, the chaos in the south can be put to an end. The only thing to worry about is how to renegotiate peace with Soochow."
"Well said!" Zhuge Yao said sincerely this time, "There are many rebellions in the south, so do you have any good strategies to defeat them once and for all, so that the people in the south will not repeat it again?"
I am familiar with this! The old demon Zhuge captured and manipulated seven times, killing people and killing their hearts!
“There are many rebellions among the southerners just because they are dissatisfied. They only try to quell the chaos but fail to win the hearts of the people. Once the army leaves, they will naturally rebel again. Therefore, the main purpose of suppressing the rebellion is to win the hearts of the people, followed by the use of troops. Then the southern barbarians can be subdued!"
“Wonderful!” Old Demon Zhuge praised for the third time today and looked at Feng Yong with admiration. “You really don’t want to be an official? I can guarantee your place in the army.”
Ma Su died because he wanted to join the army. You two are simply examples of cheating each other.
Seeing Feng Yong's firm refusal once again, Zhuge Liang sighed in disappointment, "Okay then. However, it is not my rule to not reward meritorious service. It is reasonable for you to give advice before going forward and to offer strategies to Pingnan later." It should be rewarded. After I return, I will report it to Your Majesty and then discuss the reward."
So I took the credit from Ma Su, right?
“But Prime Minister, I said I don’t want to be an official!” Feng Yong looked innocent.
"I didn't say that I wanted to reward you as an official." Old Demon Zhuge gave Feng Yong a strange look, "I heard that last time you exchanged the Quyuan plow for a few barren mountains. If you are determined to do this, then I will reward you with some fields. how?"
This is possible! Feng Yong immediately beamed with joy. Before he really thought about what happened today, he decided not to agree to all of Zhuge Lao Yao's requests - what are you afraid of with sugar-coated bullets? Peel off the icing and eat it, then hit the cannonball back!
"I had some free time today. I originally wanted to meet the descendants of the mountain sect, but I didn't expect that I would make a big splash. A young hero is nothing more than that. But he can't be used by the court, what a pity!" Zhuge Liang sighed, feeling a little dispirited.
“The prime minister is so complimentary. He really deserves to be called a young hero.” Feng Yongcheng saluted with fear.
“That’s all, there are a lot of things in the house, so I won’t stay any longer. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to the house to talk to me.” Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Yong’s expression with amusement and said meaningfully.
“Although I wanted to listen more to the Prime Minister’s teachings, the Prime Minister’s Office is busy with affairs, so I dare not keep the Prime Minister around any longer.”
“You’re trying to drive me away!” Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and put away the fishing pole, “Forget it, I won’t be bored here anymore and will go back home.”
Before leaving, Zhao Si, who had been silent for the whole time, glanced at Feng Yong, and then snorted: "Young man, just take care of yourself!"
I am very good!
Feng Yong touched the red stripe on his face angrily and watched Zhao Si leave with vicious eyes.
“What does Zilong think?”
As a general, Zhao Yun was supposed to ride a horse, but now that Zhuge Liang called him to the chariot, it was natural for him to discuss matters.
"This son is indeed from the mountain gate." Zhao Yun replied without hesitation.
“Oh, how can you be so sure?”
“It is rare for a person at such an age to have such knowledge, even if he is a child from a noble family. Only the children of an elite can teach him such knowledge.”
“That makes sense.” Zhuge Liang nodded.
“It’s just Prime Minister. After all, this son is from the same lineage of Shanmen. Is there anything wrong with making such a calculation against him?” Zhao Yun looked slightly worried.
"What's wrong?" Zhuge Liang smiled softly, and then seemed to remember something. His smile faded and his expression turned stern, "The late emperor just passed away, and the local family seemed to be very unstable. Now someone from the mountain gate appears again. , to lure two tigers into a fight, just to test what they are going to do."
"I will be in seclusion recently, and the house will be closed to guests for the next few days." Feng Yong returned to the house and called the housekeeper to give instructions.
After meeting the old demon Zhuge, Feng Yong found that his thoughts suddenly became unintelligible, but he couldn't be like the farmer uncle who was deceived and poured excrement on someone's door, so he could only find a way to sort out the whole thing by himself. Only when things are thought through can thoughts be clear. No matter what hole Zhuge Lao Yao dug for him, as long as he didn't go out, trouble would come from the sky, right?
"But my lord, Mr. Zhao is already waiting in the mansion." The housekeeper was a little embarrassed. "Before I went out today, didn't I tell my lord that if Mr. Zhao comes, he should wait first?"
"What a thief! How dare you come here? Are you trying to deceive no one in my house?" When Feng Yong heard that Zhao Guang was coming, he was immediately furious. Wasn't all this caused by that bastard?
I immediately rolled up my sleeves and angrily went to find someone to settle the score.
"Eh? Dalang, it turns out that you have already finished meeting with the Prime Minister." Zhao Guang saw Feng Yong entering the living room and greeted him with a face of joy, "How is it? Has the Prime Minister ever praised you?"
"Of course you are praising me. You are praising me as a young hero." Seeing Zhao Guang's unbelievably handsome face vaguely bearing the shadow of Zhao Yun, Feng Yong's heart moved, but he suppressed the anger in his heart. Perhaps, Can I get some clues from this guy?
"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to think so highly of Da Lang!" Zhao Guang exclaimed, "When the Prime Minister commented on Brother Xingwu, he only said that Brother Xingwu was brave, but he didn't say that he deserved the name of a hero."
“Who is Xingwu?”
“But he is the eldest son of Zhang Cheqi, Zhang Bao and Zhang Xingwu, and he can also be regarded as my elder brother.”
Okay, I get it, you don’t need to say any more.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are either your uncles or your uncles, and those second-generation officials are either your elder brothers or your younger brothers.
It’s really, really enviable and jealous! So why is reincarnation a technical job? That's why.
“What on earth did Dalang say to the Prime Minister that earned him such praise?”
I’m afraid you won’t ask!
Feng Yong started to play, frowned, and thought hard: "This is also what I can't understand. The prime minister first asked the current Han Dynasty, who is the greatest enemy?"
“How did Dalang respond?”
“I say I am a traitor to Cao Cao. At this point, I have a question. Does Erlang know that when the late emperor insisted on the eastward expedition, how did your lord come to remonstrate with me?”
"I know it. Cao Cao is a traitor to the country, so we should attack Cao Wei first."
“After your lord came to remonstrate with me, how did the others in the court react?”
"How did Da Lang know about this?" Zhao Guang was a little surprised, but he still explained, "It naturally caused the late emperor's displeasure, so he didn't take him with him when he marched eastward, and only ordered him to be the governor of Jiangzhou. There is also the matter of Guan The family members also have some complaints about the adults..."
