Shu Chen

Chapter 26 Punishing the Heart
The Prime Minister's Office is not majestic, but it is quite grand.

The princes of the Gayin court are all in this office, and the palace is divided into many areas.

Following the general behind him, Zheng Pu walked slowly and listened to his brief introduction.

"This is the office of the public offices in the DPRK, and there is nothing to enter without authorization."

"This is the house of the long history office, no one can enter without a rumor."

"This is the Council Office of the Prime Minister's Mansion, trespassers, be executed!"

"This is the official office of the State Shepherd's Office."

Zheng Pu listened carefully, occasionally looking at the sword-wielding soldiers guarding the front of the houses, he couldn't help but laugh a little: Even if he wanted to trespass, he didn't seem to have a chance!

Chatted for a while.

The commander stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Here we are, this is the office of the governor of the door. It's just right that Zijin is here. In the future, the governor of Ma will not seek me again if he has a case and slips!"

Uh.
Ok.

Zheng Pu was amused by this man's frankness.

Just wanted to thank him for leading the way, but when he saw him taking a selfie on his forehead, he said angrily, "I forgot to tell Zijin. I am a native of Hanchang, Brazil. It's up to the Governor of Ma to keep things under control. Well, I still have my responsibilities, so I won't gossip for now, Zijin is young."

After saying that, I cupped my hands and went first.

Hanchang's surname?

No wonder!

Zheng Pu watched the back of Ju Fu leave, and realized something.

The Badi Mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the foreigners live together. The people are many and brave, and the surname is the leading family in Hanchang, and it is quite prestigious.In the same year, Ma Zhong served as the head of Hanchang in Brazil County.Therefore, it was not only a matter of merit and talent that Ju Fu was able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion at a young age.Among them, there must be a joint relationship between Ma Zhong, and the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang wanted to use the decree to help him become an official, so that the Ju family could support the Han Dynasty.

After finding a place in the office by himself, Zheng Pu sat down and waited.

I stayed until dusk, hungry, and then a small official came hurriedly, bowed his hands in salute, and asked, "Is this gentleman, Shifang Zheng Zijin?" After receiving a positive answer, he turned around to lead the way, urging in a hurry, "Is it still true?" Please come with me, Zheng Langjun, the Prime Minister has a call."

Zheng Pu also did not dare to neglect, and immediately got up and went with him.

The little official walked all the way, through the eaves corridor, and after several times through the moon gate in the corner of the pavilion, before reaching the house of the prime minister.

"It's here, the Prime Minister has instructed, and Zheng Langjun will come in on his own."

call.
He breathed out quietly.

Zheng Pu's heart was awe-inspiring, and he tidied up his clothes before knocking on the door lightly, "Zheng Pu, Shifang, please see the Prime Minister."

"Come in."

The voice was gentle, but with a hint of exhaustion.

Pushing open the door lightly, bowing his head slightly, he walked in, kneeling and sitting upright, then raised his forehead with both hands, bowed his head and said, "Pu, I have seen the Prime Minister."

"Exemption."

"promise."

When Zheng Pu heard the words, he straightened his body without squint, and secretly looked at him from the corner of his eye.

Zhuge Liang, who is over forty years old, has frost-white temples and neatly trimmed three-strand beard. Perhaps he has been in the top position for a long time. In his elegant and gentle bearing, there is still a trace of power hidden in his eyebrows.

And Zhuge Liang, who was sitting behind the desk, also carefully looked at the young man in front of him, with a smile that was not a smile, and asked aloud, "You Chang once told me that you were generous and resolute, and your actions were high-spirited. But now I see you. , but why are you so respectful?"

Because you are the one who has done everything for the ages.
Zheng Pu secretly said something, and bowed his hands again, "Returning to the Prime Minister, it is because in the past, when Pu was a commoner, he acted with respect to his original intentions;

"good!"

Nodding lightly, Zhuge Liang smiled and stroked his beard, "You don't have to be so restrained. Well, Zijin, let me ask you, that day at Zhang Boda's mansion, you said that Youchang's 'tenderness' strategy has not yet been decided, is it an excuse?"

"promise."

Zheng Pu nodded lightly, with no embarrassment on his face, but a sigh of disappointment, "It's not that Pu intentionally didn't want to tell Ma to join the army, it's just that this strategy is too vicious. Once it spreads to others, no matter how big the land of Shu is, it's also too vicious. There is no place to stand!"

"Heh~~~~"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang burst into laughter.

Because such pretentious words are too much like a lobbyist.

After a pause, he waved his hand again, "Since Zijin is advising the country, he doesn't have to worry about his safety. With me here, those wealthy families can't hurt you. Well, let's talk about it."

Mingming's tone is very casual and gentle, but he has a feeling of standing on a high mountain and holding a wisdom pearl.

When Zheng Pu heard this, he was instantly enraged and heartbroken.

However, he came back to his senses immediately.

A very skinny reality: He is only nineteen years old, much younger than the Prime Minister
"promise!"

Recovering his mind, Zheng Pu sat upright and began to speak freely, "Pu is idle in the mountains and has nothing to do, so he often thinks about the current situation as a fun. Now I dare to speak, if there is any disrespect, please also ask the prime minister not to investigate the crime of the boy."

"One of my thoughts is that it has only been ten years since the first emperor settled in Shu. The death of the prefect of Zitong, the latter general, the minister of the book, the former general, the chariot general, the hussar general, and the servants in front and back died. "

Zhuge Liang, who was originally calm and calm, immediately saw frost in his eyes as soon as he heard the words.After staring at Zheng Pu for a long time, seeing that the other party's face was calm and he had no other intentions, then a trace of worry appeared.

Because Zheng Pu mentioned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Fazheng, Huo Jun, Ma Chao, Ma Liang and others.

They are the mainstays of Shu Han, but they all died early with high talents!

And a deeper meaning, it refers to the current situation of one-third of the world, and talents no longer flow and choose masters when the feudal lords were separated.

That is to say, no matter whether you are willing or not, the Yuan Cong Clan, Jingxiang Clan, or Dongchuan Shi will all wither over time!The future Shuhan court will eventually be dominated by Yizhou scholars!At that time, they will make decisions for the country and will inevitably tend to the interests of the Yizhou nobles.

Moreover, the more the imperial court suppresses them now, the more ruthless they will rebound in the future!
Take Zhang Song for example.

He was granted him by Liu Zhang as Yizhou Biejia, a high-ranking position, but he still chose to take the initiative to be the first master Liu Bei's internal communication!
He never thought about the kindness of Liu Yan and his son during their 20 years in Shu!

"Ugh"

Sigh for the inaudible.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while before he sighed, "Zijin's far-sightedness is really not like a young man. Let's continue."

"promise!"

He bowed his hands in salutation, Zheng Pu looked solemn, and continued: "The second thing I think about is the battle of the seven heroes of the Warring States period. The Qin State widely accepted the guest ministers of the six countries, and they were all granted high positions, but Guanlong Shishu did not resist, but relied on many guest ministers. Talented and learned, I was able to destroy the six kingdoms. However, why are many noble families in Yizhou not willing to serve wholeheartedly and try to overcome the evil in the Central Plains?"

This time, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang made no statement.

Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered, like an old monk entering into meditation, and there was no sound for a long time.

Zheng Pu did not dare to disturb, and waited quietly.

It was not until the night fell that Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Pu's eyes expressionlessly, and said slowly: "So, Zijin's 'push' policy is to grant authority to the wealthy clan in Shu?"

Suddenly, Zheng Pu was stunned.

Therefore, this question is punishing!
