Chapter 298 The Ubiquitous Legend
There is actually a reason why Li Hui, as the governor, had such an idea.
There is no way. As the militia groups become more and more crazy in Nanzhong, the idea of moving the people from Nanzhong to implement the strategy of Hanzhong becomes more widely circulated.
Hence, the young hero Feng Langjun’s advice to the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty became more and more curious.
It is a pity that only two parties involved knew the specific situation during that time.
But the common people’s wisdom is infinite. They don’t know the facts, but they can imagine the facts at that time.
The version between Feng Langjun and Prime Minister Zhuge is circulated in the world. According to the statistics of good people, there are at least one hundred kinds.
Every version has people swearing that it came from people in the prime minister's house.
Among the more than one hundred versions, there are two versions that are the most convincing.
One of them is that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was restless because of the affairs in Nanzhong. He heard that there was Fengzhuang outside Jincheng, and there was a young hero in Fengzhuang who had a plan to stabilize the country. General Zhao Yun went there in person to consult on state affairs.
The young hero Feng Langjun was moved by the Prime Minister's sincerity, so he came up with such a plan as a way out of trouble.
This is how Feng Langjun later became an official and offered eight ox plows.
If you don’t believe me, ask the people around Fengzhuang. Did the Prime Minister and Old General Zhao go to Fengzhuang last year?
Besides, we Han people are always thirsty for talented people. Didn’t the late emperor only pay three visits to the thatched cottage to invite the prime minister to come out?
With the late emperor's beauty in front of him, it is normal for the prime minister to imitate the late emperor.
As for when the name of the young hero Feng Langjun came out, that is an irrelevant detail.
As for the second statement, it is more popular with my daughter.
Because this statement tells the story of Feng Langjun who is affectionate and the heartbroken woman is ruthless.
Do you know who the words of childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts came from?
It is true that it comes from "Changganxing", but who knows who wrote "Changganxing"? That's right, it was written by Feng Langjun.
“I’ve just had my hair fall over my forehead, and I’m playing with flowers in front of the door. The man rides a bamboo horse and rides around the bed to pick green plums. We live together in Changqian, and we have no doubts about it…”
What a great article!
Look at what is written in these sentences. Isn’t it the childishness of men and women in childhood?
Feng Langjun grew up with a neighbor girl surnamed Li since childhood, and was engaged by the adults of the two families. However, something happened to the Feng family, and Feng Langjun was devastated by the loss of his adult. He was confused for a while, but he did not expect that the Li family girl was actually If I don't like Feng Langjun anymore, I will marry someone else...
It’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing!
Later, Feng Langjun was deeply in love and resentful, so he came up with such a vicious plan to the prime minister.
That’s right, it’s a poisonous trick!
Because no matter which version, there is such a plot.
That's why the Prime Minister once asked Feng Langjun, but he had a big feud with his colleagues, otherwise why would he set up such a poisonous plan to make Nanzhong unrest?
Hear it, hear it, it’s a poisonous plan!
Last year, Jia Xu, a famous poisoner in the world, just died, and then Feng Langjun, who was able to use poisonous tricks, appeared...
This world, I don’t know when it will be stable?
This is the sigh of some talented people who have the world in mind but are frustrated.
"The news Dalang gave me last time was that he was returning to Nanzhong this time to look for someone. I wonder if he has been found?"
Li Hui was thinking of Feng Yong, but also remembered that his child's return this time seemed to be entrusted by Feng Yong, so he couldn't help but ask casually.
When his master asked about this matter, Li Yi had a look of disappointment on his face, shook his head and said, "Sir, my son came back this time to visit Zhang Ji, the governor of Changsha. Zhang Ji lived in seclusion to avoid the war in Jingzhou. Arrived in Jiaozhou."
"So the boy first entrusted the prime minister's wife in Jincheng, and then found some connections when he returned to Nanzhong. He tried to find a way to ask for news about Jiaozhou. Who knows that although Jiaozhou is under the name of Soochow, it is actually in the hands of Shixie."
"Shi Xie tempted Yong Kai to rebel, so how could he be willing to help? Therefore, the news about Zhang Ji was not only because the child could not be found, but also the lady, there was nothing she could do."
Speaking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but think of his brother's affectionate feelings when he left Hanzhong. Although he didn't know why his brother was so interested in Zhang Ji, who had resigned himself to becoming a medical engineer, he must have had extremely important arrangements.
It’s a pity that I failed to live up to my brother’s expectations.
Li Hui, as the commander-in-chief of Nanzhong, would not care about such a humble career as a medical worker, but this matter concerned Feng Yong, so he was willing to say a few more words.
"pity…"
At this time, he also sighed, "When Xu Situ escaped from the chaos and entered Jiaozhou, he was treated politely by Na Shixie. If he was alive and could get his help, this matter would be easy, but it is a pity..."
Xu Situ, also known as Xu Jing, was one of the Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty with high moral character and high prestige. Even the prime ministers bowed to him. He died in the first year of Zhang Wu.
Li Hui suddenly stopped talking when he said this.
After a while, he seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "I remembered someone who might be able to help."
When Li Yi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "May I ask who your lord is?"
“The order from the middle palace to pay homage to Xu Ci and Xu Rendu.”
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and asked hesitantly, "This person... is a bit strange to me. It seems that I have never heard of him."
"Xu Rendu and Xu Situ are both from the Xu family, but they are a little far apart. Xu Situ is from the Xu family in Runan, and Xu Rendu is from the Xu family in Nanyang."
“Xu Rendu first followed Xu Situ to Jiaozhou to escape the chaos, and then the two of them went to Shu together. During the reign of the late Emperor, he was a bachelor and was in charge of ancient documents and books. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has been given the post of Visitor of the Central Palace.”
"Since he and Xu Situ have entered Jiaozhou together, I think he must be familiar with the affairs of Jiaozhou. If he can get his help, there may be some clues about this matter."
"There are such twists and turns?" Li Yi raised his palms and said with joy, "I thank you for your guidance."
Li Hui smiled calmly, "As for how to get that kind of help, that's a matter for you. I can't help you."
As the governor, it is normal for him to give advice to his children, but it is impossible for him to interfere in his children's affairs.
Besides, in his opinion, this matter is just a trivial matter. How can it be worth the favor of a governor?
After all, medical workers have low status.
“Save the child.”
Li Yi nodded in agreement, and at the same time secretly thought that his brother would have to come forward in the end.
The person who visits Zhonggong Ye is under the command of Dachangqiu.
In the great Changqiu period, the person in charge was ordered by Xuanzang Palace.
After all the talk, it finally came down to the Queen. Well... it seems that communication between the brother and the Queen is relatively easy.
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't find any news about Zhang Ji during this trip, he could get some information from the adults, so he could explain it to his brother later.
(Note: Dachangqiu and his subordinates are generally appointed by eunuchs, but the Shu Han Dynasty is a special case and eunuchs are rarely used. This can be seen from Dong Yun's control of the palace and Xu Ci's final appointment as Dachangqiu in the original history. My personal guess is that Zhuge Liang learned the lesson from the **** rebellion in the Eastern Han Dynasty and tried his best to suppress the eunuchs.)
Li Yi looked at Li Hui who was sitting on top, and saw that his master's temples were already gray, and he couldn't help but said with emotion.
Li Hui was open-minded, shook his head and said with a smile, "Why do my sons act like children? When the world is in chaos, it is the time for men to make contributions..."
When I think about how I rose from a postal governor to the governor of the Han Dynasty, I feel even more moved.
"I am honored by the imperial court and guard the land of Nanzhong. I am considered to be in a high position. What I want in this life is to help the Han put down the chaos in Nanzhong. Since you are my son, you should not fall into the name of the Li family in Nanzhong. ."
“Children, remember the teachings of adults.”
Li Yi's heart was churning and he responded quickly.
Li Hui did not dare to delay Meng Yan's news for a moment, so he sent a fast horse with a secret message to Jincheng that day.
Zhuge Liang was surprised to learn that there was an urgent secret message from Nanzhong, and he immediately had the secret message brought in.
Nanzhong is now the most important place for the Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang is worried about every disturbance there.
And when he heard it was Li Hui's urgent secret message, he thought something had happened again, but when he opened it and took a look, his eyes were filled with joy.
“Okay! Wow!”
Zhuge Liang said a few good words in a row, but he felt uncomfortable sitting still. He stood up and walked a few steps. He seemed unable to control his emotions. He read the letter several times again for fear of missing a word.
"well!"
Zhuge Liang felt very happy, laughed, and said to Jiang Wan next to him, "This summer grain has just been put into the warehouse. I didn't expect that good news has come from Nanzhong. God is really blessing me!"
"What happy news has come to Governor Li that makes the Prime Minister so embarrassed?"
These days, the Prime Minister laughs more times than in the previous years combined. As a student of the Prime Minister, although Jiang Wan doesn’t know what the Prime Minister is happy about, seeing the Prime Minister laughing so heartily makes Jiang Wan feel very happy. Happy.
“Someone from the Meng family, a big clan in Nanzhong, has come to surrender.”
Zhuge Liang handed over the letter in his hand, "This man is not an ordinary person. He is known as the Tiger of the Meng Family. He can be regarded as a big tiger general of the rebel army. He felt that the rebel leader Meng Huo was very important, and he never thought that he would come secretly to surrender." "
Jiang Wan took the secret letter and before opening it, he heard the Prime Minister say this and couldn't help but be surprised, "Is this happening?"
Then he smiled and said, "It's really a great event!"
Just after he read the secret letter, he had some doubts, "Prime Minister, Governor Li only said that this person was coming to surrender, but he did not find out whether it was a real surrender or a fake surrender. In case..."
“Whether it is a real surrender or a false surrender, it is considered a great event.”
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said with a smile, "If the surrender is real, that would be a great thing. Even if it is a fake surrender, we can also find out the true identity of the rebels."
“The people of Nanyi are very convincing in terms of bravery, but in terms of strategy,” Zhuge Liang said with a contemptuous smile, “they are far from the best.”
“Oh, I wonder what the Prime Minister said?”
When Jiang Wan heard what the Prime Minister said, he knew that the Prime Minister had something in mind, so he humbly asked for advice.
"Let's see, Gongyan. At first, I asked Li Zhengfang to write six letters in a row in order to appease the rebels. But Yongkai only replied with one letter, and his words were extremely arrogant. His disobedience is known to all in Nanzhong . It can be seen that at that time, when the rebels bullied my big man, it was a critical moment, and their arrogance was very strong."
“But now, the rebels have been cut off from the aid of Soochow, and they were defeated by Li Deang when they went north, as well as Yongchang,”
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but pause when he mentioned Yongchang, and then continued, "Although Yongchang is alone outside, judging from the news from the militia, I guess Yongchang is still holding on to the Han Festival."
“How does the Prime Minister know this?”
Yongchang has lost contact since the Nanzhong Rebellion. Jiang Wan saw the prime minister saying this and asked quickly.
"The rebels have not been able to advance for a long time, so they must be anxious. Once they capture Yongchang, they will want to know it all over the world in order to boost the morale of the army. It will also make the Cao thieves think they have an opportunity to attack the Han Dynasty, giving them a chance to breathe. ."
“But nowadays, although there are always news that Yongchang has been reduced to a long time ago, the information is unclear and contains many inconsistencies, so it is not credible.”
"From this point of view, the rebels can't even go south. They are really like rats trapped in a cage. If they are pretending to surrender, they are forced to come up with this strategy in order to break through. So even if Meng Yan is pretending Surrender, I can also see that among the rebels, the hearts of the rebels must be unstable!"
The more he talked, the happier Zhuge Liang became. He clasped his hands and looked at Jiang Wan, his eyes bright, "Gong Yan, I'm afraid the time to pacify Nanzhong will not be long!"
“By the way, how is the collection of grain going?”
When talking about the Southern Expedition, Zhuge Liang’s first reaction was food and grass.
“Back to the Prime Minister, this year’s grain harvest is better than last year’s harvest, and many large families are willing to sell grain. It’s just that the price of grain..."
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, "The price of food has not dropped much, it is almost the same as in previous years."
"I know."
Zhuge Liang nodded, "It will cost a lot of money to colonize Hanzhong. Although the harvest is good, it costs a lot in Hanzhong. It is normal for the price of food not to go down. But as long as they are willing to sell, it will be fine. The price of food is higher. , that’s also something that can’t be done.”
"Besides, now the imperial court has some... income. If you can buy grain, you should try to buy as much as possible."
It is common for the imperial court to stockpile grain in preparation for famine, and it cannot cause major fluctuations in grain prices.
It's just that when talking about the imperial court's progress, Zhuge Liang's tone was a little weird, and Jiang Wan's face twitched even more.
This year's life in the imperial court seems to be getting a lot better all of a sudden.
There is no other way. We can sell eight oxen for plows, military rations, labor, and even wool, and share it with textile workshops. Although it is relatively fragmented, it cannot support the large amount.
This Qian Xunbu was closed, and the prime minister who had been living tightly, and suddenly found that he was full of affection.
Coupled with the bumper grain harvest, money and grain are overwhelming, and the waist becomes stiff.
Just the source of this money always makes people feel a little guilty.
That’s right, it’s just a guilty conscience.
It is a strange thing that the court received the money with a guilty conscience. But something strange happened this year.
The Eight-Niu Plow was made by a boy in Zhuyejian.
The army rations were donated by a certain boy.
The labor was bought first by a certain boy.
Wool weaving was made by some boy...
Looking at it, it seems that the big man is at a disadvantage to a certain boy.
Zhuge Liang coughed dryly and asked, "Then the Huang family also needs to collect grain? How is the harvest going? If there are any problems, I might as well give them a helping hand."
The Huang family was collecting grain for a certain boy, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty still knew it.
“Back to the Prime Minister, the price of grain given by the Huang family is higher than that in the market, so there is no need to worry about not being able to collect it.”
Jiang Wan actually had some complaints about this matter. The fact that the grain could not fall was also related to the Huang family raising the price to collect grain.
Zhuge Liang clicked his tongue, feeling quite powerless.
Why do you think you are so capable? I just want to help you, but I have no place to intervene.
Well, how about giving him a promotion and shouldering the burden for him?
