Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 459: Monarch and ministers benefit from each

  Chapter 459 The Monarch and His Subjects Get Together

  Feng Yong had been to Jincheng several times in his previous life, one time in January.

  When I got off the train, it was still drizzling, and everyone was wearing military coats, so it felt a bit cold and gloomy.

   During the Little Ice Age, Jincheng in December always seemed to be snowing, and it felt colder than in previous lives.

  In other words, the snow has already fallen and just melted in mid-air.

   Bitter cold wind blew by, Feng Yong tightened his down jacket, and asked Li Yi, "Wenxuan, have you arranged everything up front?"

   Although the down jacket is not as good-looking as the later generations, it can still keep warm.

  Wear a sweater inside and a sheepskin hat on your head, it will be very warm.

   More than enough to deal with this kind of weather.

   It's just that the down jacket uses Shu brocade, which is extremely expensive, and most people really can't afford it.

   "Don't worry, brother, Mi Hongliang and Deng Weizhe have already done everything according to brother's wishes."

   Li Yi quickly replied.

  Nanzhong seven counties, only Yuejun is not flat.

It is not suitable to use soldiers in winter, besides, the soldiers have been fighting for almost a year, and they are homesick, so Feng Yong, the prefect of Yuejun, who was appointed by default, followed him back to Jincheng. Juan.

  Although he went south in the name of checking the farming situation in Nanzhong, he helped the army a lot later and made some credits, so Feng Yong and others can be mixed in the team returning from victory.

  The front team soon met the officials sent by Liu Chan to greet them.

   "Liu Yan was ordered by His Majesty to come to meet the prime minister."

  Among the ministers staying in Jincheng, Liu Yan has the highest official position in name, so Liu Yan is naturally the head of the hundred officials who welcome him.

  To be honest, it is really a hard job to come out to meet the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in this cold winter.

  Many people's noses were frozen.

  But no matter how hard it is, everyone still has a smile on their face.

  The big man has suffered a series of defeats in the past few years, and finally ushered in a victory, which finally gave everyone a reassurance.

   Zhuge Liang got out of the car and greeted everyone one by one. Fei Yi, an attendant in the inner palace, announced the emperor's will again.

  After Zhuge Liang received the imperial decree, he said to Fei Yi, "How about Wen Wei and me driving together?"

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways.

   Among the hundreds of officials who came to greet him, Fei Yi's official position can only be regarded as middle-level, and many people present are higher than him. The only special thing is that he came with the emperor's imperial edict.

   But the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is His Majesty's father. To put it bluntly, even His Majesty has to listen to the Prime Minister now. When does the Prime Minister need to please His Majesty?

  So everyone was thinking in their hearts: This Fei Yi is so important to Cheng?

  Seeing that Fei Yi was honored suddenly, but his face was calm, "The Prime Minister has an order, how dare you refuse?"

   After finishing speaking, board the car with the prime minister and move forward.

  Che Phosphorus, Ma Xiaoxiao, armored soldiers with swords and swords at their waists, and tiger and cardinal guards at their sides.

  There were curtains hanging on three sides of the car, and if they hadn't stood in front to watch, the people on both sides could only see the prime minister and Fei Yi sitting opposite each other.

  In addition to the fact that the army returned victoriously, everyone was laughing at Yan Yan, and there were armored warriors and tiger guards around, so even if many people wanted to know what the prime minister and Fei Yi said, they couldn't hear them clearly.

   "The Prime Minister has something to arrange for the next official?"

  Fei Yi sat peacefully and asked calmly.

   "Wen Wei knows me."

  Zhuge Liang chuckled, "Then I wonder if Wen Wei can guess what I'm thinking?"

   "How does Yi know what the prime minister is thinking?"

  Fei Yi shook his head.

   "What I think about is nothing more than being able to revive the Han Dynasty."

  Zhuge Liang sighed, and pointed to the noisy crowd outside, "Everyone is happy to put down the chaos in Nanzhong. But in my opinion, the chaos in Nanzhong is nothing more than an itch."

   "According to the prime minister's intention, this big worry is Cao thief? Or Dong Wu?"

   Fei Yi asked.

   "Cao Thief occupies two of the three parts of the world, and Han and Wu combine to occupy the first." Zhuge Liang rarely showed a slight anxiety on his face, "The longer the delay, the stronger Cao Thief will be."

   "So Cao thief is naturally a big worry, but if you let the big man fight against Cao thief alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

  After hearing this, Fei Yi understood: "Prime Minister wants Yi to befriend Soochow?"

   "That's right." Zhuge nodded approvingly, "Soochow had a hand in the Nanzhong Rebellion at the beginning. At that time, Sun Quan had Liu Zhang's son Liu Chan stationed in Jiaozhou so that he could take over Nanzhong at any time."

"Although Han and Wu have formed an alliance for the first time, they still have concerns. After the pacification of Nanzhong this time, Soochow's calculations have come to nothing. Therefore, I want to send more goodwill envoys so as not to cause Han and Wu to regenerate suspicions, so that in the future I can do my best to hunt down thieves."

   "So this is the prime minister's intention to confer honor on Yi, isn't it?"

  Fei Yi said clearly.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Masters from Eastern Wu, if the big man sent someone who is not well-known, they would think that we are not sincere. You are talented, but your reputation is not obvious. Now I am like this, it is just a matter of convenience. I don’t know if you are willing to go to Soochow in person?”

  "Serving the country, how can you say that you are willing or not?"

  Fei Yi said solemnly.

  A Dou in the rear heard the report that the prime minister asked Fei Yi to drive with him. He was sitting in a makeshift camp warming up by the fire.

   There is a brazier in the middle of the tent, and the charcoal is burnt in it, and there is very little smoke.

   This is the latest fine charcoal purchased by the Inner Government this year, and it was simply unaffordable before.

After hearing what happened in front of him, Adou was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, after a while, he asked quietly, "This Fei Yi is from Jingzhou, right? "

   Huang Hu, who had been standing in the corner of the tent without any sense of presence, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Fei Yi is indeed from Jingzhou, and his ancestral home is Jiangxia."

   "Well, I see."

  A Dou nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "How is he?"

   "His nature is modest and generous, and I heard that his family has no money left. His wife and children are all vegetarians, and they don't go in and out by car."

  A Dou nodded again, and sighed softly, "No matter what the intention of Xiangfu's move, but the officials of the Han Dynasty can act like this, it is because Xiangfu took the lead."

  Thinking of those elders who followed the late emperor, now there are only two prominent ones, one is Zhao Yun and the other is Liu Yan.

   It's just that Zhao Yun is old, and Liu Yan is just talking.

  Although there are many locals in Yizhou, there are not many who can reuse the big job.

   Instead, Jingzhou people who followed the late emperor to Shu were constantly employed.

   Liu Chan was thoughtful, thinking that outsiders would not have such complicated relationships as Yizhou people, so it was naturally simple to use.

   But one day, Jingzhou people will continue to age and pass away like the elders who first followed the late emperor. At that time, what will happen?

"Huang Hu, since the loss of Jingzhou, the late emperor and Xiangfu didn't trust the Yizhou people very much, but after all, we take Yizhou as the foundation, and this is not the way to go. What do you think I can do to make them work for me? ?”

  Huang Hu heard this, and the cold sweat poured down his back immediately.

   "Your Majesty, how do slaves know about the affairs of the court?"

  Whether it is the first emperor or the prime minister, they all said that it was because eunuchs taught the emperor to corrupt the emperor that the world became what it is today.

  Although Huang Hu himself did not understand why the eunuchs were so capable, he still knew that both the late emperor and the prime minister had strictly ordered the courtiers not to talk about court affairs at will.

   Not to mention any suggestions for His Majesty.

  If the prime minister finds out, whether his life can be saved is another matter.

   "If you are told to speak, you will speak. There are only you and me here."

  Liu Chan understood Huang Hu's worry, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that I am a majestic emperor and can't tell good from bad?"

   "Yes, yes." Huang Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart skipped a beat, thinking about how he should answer in order to pass the test safely, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered someone.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call Feng Langjun to ask about it? The slave girl is watching Feng Langjun, and there are many lords from his Xinghan Society. Their fathers, whether they are in Jingzhou, Yizhou, or even Liangzhou, are willing to call Feng Langjun a brother." I think Feng Langjun should have a deep understanding of this."

   "Huh? You eunuch, you have two senses."

   Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hu in surprise, thinking how could I have forgotten him?

  This Feng Yong, not to mention his exquisite appearance, is also deeply loved by those noble second generations, and everyone calls him his elder brother. Isn't this the best example?

  Then he thought of Zhao Guang and Li Yi waiting beside Feng Yong, he couldn't help touching his chin, thinking that in another ten or twenty years, Feng Yong might not be the leader of all the ministers again?

...

  Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help flashing an unknown light in his eyes.

  It is not impossible for the monarch and his ministers to get along well, but you have listened to the queen's arrangement anyway, and let's talk about marrying the fourth wife. After marrying the fourth wife, we are a family, and there is no problem in getting along.

  Marrying a girl from the Guan family...is it always a layer away?

  However, how can he marry Si Niang and make him a family?

  Adou couldn't help thinking about this question.

   I don't know how long it took, but Huang Hu whispered in Adou's ear, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's car is coming soon."

  Adou suddenly came to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to greet him."

   As he spoke, he asked Huang Hu to take his big and thick down jacket and put it on, wrapped himself up like a roll, patted the down jacket on his body, and said, "Good stuff."

   Then he walked out of the tent.

  In fact, if it wasn’t for maintaining his appearance, A Dou would even want to wear a sheepskin hat.

  Of course, fur coats made of mink or fox fur are definitely better.

   But still the same sentence, the big man is poor!

  The Neifu has some spare money on hand, and this has only happened in the past year.

  The palace lacked a lot of things before, and now they have to make up for it. How can there be time and manpower to buy such luxury things as fur?

   Moreover, the prime minister must take the lead in frugality. As the emperor who is an example for all people, naturally he should not be too extravagant.

   So, isn't it thrifty to make clothes out of poultry down?

  Although the hood is covered with a layer of Shu brocade, it is easier to obtain than the fur coat, isn't it?

  So, as the queen said, this son can always turn decay into magic, and turn those things that the world considers useless into useful things. He is really a capable minister.

   He has to find a way to make him marry Si Niang...

  Adou was still thinking about it, he finally understood why the queen kept thinking about it.

  At this time, seeing the prime minister's car finally appearing in front of him, A Dou quickly restrained his mind and went to meet him.

   "Father went south, worked hard for the country, and worked hard."

   Before Zhuge Liang got out of the car, Adou wanted to reach out to help him up.

  Zhuge Liang was startled, and stepped down hastily, "The old minister has not paid back after a long campaign, how dare he act like this? It's a big mistake!"

  Adou laughed, "The barren land in Nanzhong, Xiangfu can not only calm down, but also convince the people of Nanyi, why can't he be? Come on!"

  Huang Hu quickly brought over a long and thick down jacket.

  A Dou took it, put it on Zhuge Liang himself, and said with a smile, "Father Xiang, this dress was sewn by the Queen herself, and it can be regarded as a little bit of Zen."

   "Too precious!"

   Zhuge Liang felt more and more uneasy.

   "Hey, don't worry about the father, the fabric used in this clothes is all from the inner government, not a single cent was spent in the treasury."

   As he spoke, he said to Zhuge Liang in a low voice, "The stuff inside is just poultry fluff, which is not considered valuable."

  Zhuge Liang was taken aback, and subconsciously squeezed it with his hands, "Poultry fluff?"

   "Yes." A Dou nodded, "This garment is called a down jacket, except that the fabric is more expensive, and the contents inside are not rare."

  So that kid collected those chicken feathers and duck feathers to make this?

   "Father, how about boarding the car and returning to the city with Zen?"

   Adou invited.

   "I'm afraid it's a veteran minister."

   Zhuge Liang said.

   "How about thanking my father for fighting for the country as Zen? Father, please!"

   As he spoke, he personally helped Zhuge Liang get into the car.

  Seeing this, all the ministers praised the emperor's virtuous corporal loudly, and were deeply moved by it.

  Seeing that Zhao Guang, Li Yi and others looked so touched that they were about to shed tears, Feng Yong gave a "tsk", thinking that the ancients were innocent and would not lie.

   Liu Chan, an honest baby, would definitely not come up with such a move by himself. The one who can make him do this kind of thing is either the queen, or Zhuge Liang himself.

  If it is a queen, then this Zhang Xingcai can really be regarded as a virtuous queen.

  If it was Zhuge Liang himself...

  Thinking of this, Feng Yong was taken aback. Is the old demon Zhuge paving the way for Adou?

   "Brother, what are you thinking?"

  A voice suddenly interrupted Feng Yong's thinking. Feng Yong followed the prestige and saw Li Yi looking at him with red eyes. He didn't know how true or false.

   "Oh, nothing."

  Feng Yong shook his head and looked at Yu Jia again.

  I saw that the young master is respectful to the old ministers, and the old ministers are humble to the young master. It is really a rare harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

  Driving to the gate of Jincheng, I saw a row of noble children standing on both sides of the gate, they were all members of Xinghanhui.

  Everyone was wearing down jackets and stood tall.

  Seeing the emperor and the prime minister coming in cars, the right side first took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "The dark clouds are overwhelming the city, and the armor light is opening to the golden scales of Japan!"

   Immediately, A Dou who was sitting on top was taken aback, and even Zhuge Liang looked over in surprise.

   Then the disciple of Xungui on the left followed closely with blue veins on his neck, and then read the next sentence: "In the autumn scenery full of the sound of horns, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple!"

   "The half-rolled red flag is facing Yishui, and the frost is heavy and cold!"

   "Report to the king on the golden stage, and support the jade dragon to die for the king!"

"good!"

   "Colorful!"

  Not only the people who didn't know what was going on, but also Li Yi and others who had known this article for a long time couldn't help applauding loudly.

   Such majestic prose really needs to be sung out loud to be interesting!

  The disciples of all the nobles at the gate of the city heard everyone's applause, their faces were full of red light, and they pulled out the long swords from their waists in unison!

   "Clang!"

  I saw a piece of snow shining brightly in mid-air, like dancing snowflakes.

   "Escort!"

  A palace guard shouted.

   "What's the matter! I didn't see that these are all meritorious deeds, but I am a big man, a hot-blooded man!"

  A Dou stood on the car, panting heavily, holding on to the railing of the car, listening to the waves of cheers below, he felt a surge of breath in his chest, and felt that his whole body was about to float.

   "Report to the king on the golden stage, and support the jade dragon to die for the king!"

   "Report to the king on the golden stage, and support the jade dragon to die for the king!"

  …

   All the ministers and officials who came to greet them were all excited, and some people couldn't help imitating those honorable children, drew their swords and started singing along.

  Then shouts came and went like waves.

  Even as calm as Zhuge Liang, he trembled slightly.

   This is a big man, a big man!

  With such a good man of a big man, why not be afraid that the Han Dynasty will not be prosperous?

  Zhuge Liang saw that Adou was about to open his mouth several times but didn't know what to do, so he bent down and asked someone to take a long sword and hand it to Adou.

  A Dou took it over, and seeing Xiangfu's encouraging eyes, he was impulsive, pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "Big man!"

   "Big man!"

   "Big man!"

  …

  Not only the officials and officials, but also the common people standing on the outermost periphery cheered.

   Originally, I was curiously looking at the southern barbarians driving in front of me. Seeing the Han people applaud loudly, and then start shouting wildly again, everyone turned pale.
