Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 733 Xibei and Nanchen, the flowers are blooming and the moon is shining!
Bashu, the prime minister's mansion.

Zhuge Liang wore a sick scarf on his head, his eyebrows drooped, and he looked dejected, but his fingers played on the strings on the strings, the sound of the piano was like a storm.

——Feng Xi Feng Xi returns to his hometown, travels around the world to seek his phoenix.

——The time has not met and there is no general, He Wu is now promoted to Sitang!
A piece of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" was being played at a high pitch, and the sound of the piano suddenly became uncontrollable, and the playing became faster and faster.

With a sound of "Zheng", the strings broke, and Zhuge Liang pushed the piano down the table irritably.

"Prime Minister..." The surrounding civil servants quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty insists on going north, then the problem of military rations is bound to be solved. Taxes will be collected every four or six times, and one every three Dings will be levied... It is inevitable! Prime Minister, take care of your health."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's mistake in playing "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", everyone's mood was as heavy as Zhuge Liang's face.

"Is it 'Phoenix Qiuhuang' or 'Phoenix Prisoner Huang'?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly said with emotion, he shook his head...continue playing with the broken string.

——Huang XiHuang Xi lives from me, and is entrusted to breed her tail and become a concubine forever.

——Friendship, communication, mind and heart harmony, who is the one who knows in the middle of the night?

——With both wings up and flying high, I feel sad when I think about it without feeling.

When the last sound falls...

Zhuge Liang fell into silence. He closed his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Even Zilong...couldn't persuade His Majesty to take back his life? Alas...alas..."

The faint sigh echoed in the aftermath of the strings, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

"Unexpectedly, after five years of truce, the Shu Han was in danger..."

Yes…

Dangerous!

——How pathetic?
——What a pity!
...

...

Bashu, Shangshutai.

Li Yan walked up and down the room, as if he had something on his mind and was restless.

Li Yan's son, Li Feng, came slowly with a stack of bamboo slips in his hands, "Now that father has regained the military power from the Jingzhou faction and the political power from Prime Minister Zhuge, this is a happy event. Why is father depressed all day long?" ?”

"Alas..." Li Yan sighed, "The reason why Zhuge Kongming regained power was because he was ill. For the past five years, he has been personally involved in every detail, whether it is military affairs, government affairs, people's livelihood, or the imperial court. Just got up again, and slept for less than two hours, so that even Iron Man couldn't bear it, five years...Prime Minister Zhuge is also at his limit."

From Li Yan's mouth, it seems that he didn't feel lucky after defeating the "political enemy", on the contrary, he felt a lot more lonely.

seriously...

The heavy burden of Bashu was on his body, and he suddenly felt the huge pressure. It was only at this moment that he realized the profound meaning of the saying "If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight"!
It's so heavy, the burden of Bashu - heavier than Mount Tai...

"Military power should be in the hands of my father. My son, think about it, how many soldiers do we have in Bashu and Jingzhou? No more than 30! How many veterans are there in His Majesty? That is [-], but our Shu army has more than [-]... Zhuge Liang knew clearly in his heart that sooner or later the military power will belong to our Dongzhou faction!"

The Dongzhou faction is an "indigenous" in the Bashu area, and it has a natural advantage in leading the Shu army.

Can…

Li Yan answered a lot, but did not answer the key question.

Why has he been morose?
Li Feng rolled his eyes and continued to ask: "My son heard that my father proposed a 'taxation of four or six, and a tax of three cents', so that His Majesty's food for the Northern Expedition would be sufficient, but... my son remembers that my father I told my son that my father does not agree with His Majesty's Northern Expedition in his heart!"

Li Feng's words made Li Yan look sideways...

He paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's determination to attack Wei has been decided, Feng'er, don't forget our identities. Although our Dongzhou faction has the most officials in Bashu, it also has the most soldiers and horses. Minister, and Kong Ming has followed His Majesty for many years and has made great contributions to the acquisition of Bashu. When encountering anything, he can bluntly say, we can't do it! We must act according to His Majesty's wishes, especially when His Majesty and Kong Ming have a relationship. When there is disagreement, you must stand on His Majesty's side wholeheartedly!"

Li Yan is very good at being an official, and also very good at trying to figure out Liu Bei's mind...

In recent years, it is no accident that he has transformed from a general to the third person in the Bashu court, besides Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"But father..." Li Feng was still worried, "If the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty is facing Cao Yu, he is not only the king of Wei, he is also a Yin Lin who has no plans. During these years of conquest, he has attacked the enemy and attacked the heart. He has never been defeated once. Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Zhou Yu are not his opponents. How sure is his father? The money, food, soldiers and horses in Shu have poured out of the country and thrown into the emptiness of the Shu Road. What if he loses? Why do you care about the aftermath?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Yan was angry.

"Father is facing Cao Yu now, and Cao Yu has twisted Zhou Yu, Ma Chao, Xun Yu, Lu Bu and others into a single rope. Does father really think that the power of Bashu can match him?"

"Presumptuous!" Li Yan stood up suddenly, "Aren't they Cao Yu's opponents? Isn't Your Majesty either? Today's Great Wei is said to be inclusive of all rivers, but in fact... the various forces are intricate, so there is no civil strife? Xiliang, Jingzhou Can those from Jiangdong and those from Jiangdong be in harmony?"

"But...the princess of Xiliang, the princess of Jiangdong...they are still Cao Yu's noble concubines!"

"Feng'er!" Li Yan said earnestly, "From now on, you must never say such forward-looking words again!"

"I..." Li Feng wanted to say something, but because of Li Yan's angry eyes, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

at this time…

"Tread..." The sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

A door official broke into the room and reported: "Report to Shangshu, General Zhao Zilong asks to see..."

Well…

Li Yan was taken aback by this sudden sentence, he didn't expect that... Zhao Yun would come looking for him?
To know…

Prior to this, Zhao Yun's position was very clear, only Zhuge Kongming's order was to follow.

to this end…

He also deliberately distanced himself from Li Yan, not approaching him.

It can be said that Zhao Yun and Li Yan have not had any personal relationship in the past five years.

So...now...

"Hurry up... invite General Zhao Zilong to enter the main hall! Be polite!" Li Yan ordered and got up quickly.

...

...

Luoyang, Weiyang Palace.

This is a newly built palace in the Great Wei Palace. It is exactly the same as the "Weiyang Palace" that was built on the basis of Qinzhangtai in Chang'an City under the supervision of Liu Bang's important minister Xiao He in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

only…

The former Weiyang Palace is located on Longshouyuan, the highest terrain in the southwest corner of Chang'an City in Han Dynasty.

Today's Weiyang Palace is located in the original location of the Deyang Palace of the Han Palace...it is the center of the Wei Palace, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, mountains, rivers and ponds lined up among them, towering like clouds!
In addition, this Weiyang Palace was a gift from Lu Yu to Cai Zhaoji, Empress of Wei Dynasty.

At this time, Lu Yu was accompanying the queen to watch their daughter "Cao Nanxi" practice martial arts.

——Nanchen in the west, the tide of flowers and the moon in the evening.

Cao Nanxi, this is the name of a rich poet...

Although Cai Zhaoji is a talented woman in this world, Xiao Nanxi is uncharacteristically, she doesn't like reading, but likes to dance with a gun...

However, within half an hour, Nan Xi had wielded wooden spears, wooden swords, and wooden halberds...even wooden daggers with great power.

... This made Lu Yu applaud, but Cai Zhaoji shook her head slightly.

"This stick technique, isn't Nanxi good at dancing?" Lu Yu smiled at Cai Zhaoji.

Cai Zhaoji let out a long sigh, "Isn't it good to be able to dance? Nan Xi's halberd technique was taught by Concubine Lu, sword technique was taught by Concubine Sun, and spear technique was taught by Concubine Ma..."

Concubine Lu here is naturally Lu Lingqi, Concubine Sun is Sun Shangxiang, Concubine Ma, who else but Ma Yunlu?

However, when she said these words, Cai Zhaoji's tone seemed a little lonely.

"What about the dagger?" Lu Yu asked with a smile... "Isn't this dagger taught by her own mother?"

Cai Zhaoji gave Lu Yu a blank look, "How can a concubine have such abilities?"

There is a bit of resentment in this sentence... "The concubine wants to teach her the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs, but Nan Xi doesn't like it at all, and she can't listen to it at all... Even making noise and wanting to practice martial arts, His Majesty is used to it." It's broken... Sometimes the concubine thinks, if the concubine gave birth to a boy, it would be great, so that he can help His Majesty fight the enemy and rule the world, it's only the concubine's incompetence!"

Cai Zhaoji is a family heir to poetry and calligraphy, and she has been well educated since she was a child. Although Lu Yu told her many times not to call her "Your Majesty", but to call her "brother"... But Cai Zhaoji is too good at etiquette. She messed up etiquette.

"Girls are good..." Lu Yu smiled at Cai Zhaoji, "I like girls!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu changed the subject, "Sister Zhaoji hasn't told me yet, why...Nan Xi knows how to dagger? Who taught this dagger!"

"Lingju..." Cai Zhaoji said with emotion: "Nowadays girls don't know what's wrong, Nan Xi is like this, Lingju is also like this... but I'm worried about my concubine and sister Diaochan..."

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled...a very happy smile.

In many cases, after the cumbersome government affairs, only by returning to the harem can Lu Yu experience the long-lost warmth.

"Your Majesty..." Cai Zhaoji continued, "I have two important matters to report to Your Majesty..."

"It's okay to tell the truth about Sister Zhaoji." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Sister Zhaoji has never made any rude requests to my younger brother since she was a child!"

With a "poof", Cai Zhaoji smiled, "Your Majesty, why have you been the emperor for five years and still look like a child..."

After blurting out these words, Cai Zhaoji's face became much more serious, "The concubine plans to set up a large number of government schools in various places, and also encourages the construction of private schools. Nowadays, papermaking and printing are vigorously developed, and cultural revitalization is imminent..."

Speaking of here…

Cai Zhaoji continued: "In fact, for the past five years, Your Majesty has been weakening the influence of the clan, but in fact, the most terrifying thing about the clan is not the thousand hectares of fertile land, nor the intricate relationship, but the monopoly of culture... Although the imperial examinations are vigorously prevailing today, But many poor and rural children have no environment to study at all...Although it is a good story to become a talent by self-taught, how many people can achieve it?"

Cai Zhaoji’s words were well-founded, and Lu Yu repeatedly nodded, “Sister Zhaoji’s concern is just... I’ve been negligent, but education didn’t happen overnight. Five years ago, neither the treasury nor the resources were enough to set up a school for the whole country. Now... With the savings of these five years, it is time to grasp the culture!"

Lu Yu looked at Cai Zhaoji solemnly, "Sister Zhaoji is the head of the imperial school, if you have this idea, then do it, I will let the six departments cooperate with you, as for the money needed for the treasury to build the school... there is no upper limit, sister Zhaoji is your own The treasury, take whatever you want..."

To Sister Zhaoji, Lu Yu behaved very generously...

However, he also knows that even if she is a queen... Sister Zhaoji is also very thrifty.

It is common to wear a phoenix robe for several years. Many times, Lu Yu wants to persuade her to be more generous... After all, she is not willing to wear it, so who would be willing to wear it for other concubines in the harem?

"The concubine will thank His Majesty first." Cai Zhaoji saluted generously...

"Tell me these things..." Lu Yu supported Cai Zhaoji, "Don't sister Zhaoji have another matter? Let's talk about it together."

This…

Cai Zhaoji looked at her daughter Cao Nanxi.

Lu Lingqi was teaching her marksmanship, and it seemed that Caiwu's marksmanship... had some mistakes.

Cai Zhaoji continued to say to Lu Yu: "Since my concubine gave birth to Nanxi five years ago, in the past five years...there are so many concubines in the harem, but none of them are pregnant...The concubine went to check His Majesty's daily records yesterday and found that His Majesty has been pregnant for the past five years. It can be regarded as rain and dew, and the minister has checked the medical records, and His Majesty has no related illnesses, but why is there no news from the concubines?"

This…

Lu Yu was taken aback, how should he answer this?Perfectly avoided, missed?
even…

He felt that sister Zhaoji had something to say.

"What is Miss Zhaoji trying to say?"

"Your Majesty..." Cai Zhaoji said: "The concubine has focused on Nan Xi for the past five years, but she has neglected her majesty... Your majesty is now in the midst of a prosperous spring and autumn, but you have to consider the succession of Wei's descendants. The concubine dare not arbitrarily judge that it belongs to your majesty." The problem is still the problem of the noble concubines, but there is always an answer to this matter, so..."

Speaking of the last... Cai Zhaoji bit her lips with her teeth, and a little blush appeared on her face.

"Instead of letting other people investigate, it is better for the concubine to come and investigate. Can your majesty come to Weiyang Palace tonight, and the concubine will help your majesty to check...to see if the dragon body is healthy?"

Uh…

Cai Zhaoji's words stunned Lu Yu.

This is a cultured woman, this kind of bed curtain... can be said so fresh and refined, and the dragon is healthy.

After saying these words, Cai Zhaoji blinked her big eyes again and again, as if she was eager for Lu Yu's answer, and she didn't know if she really wanted to check whether the dragon body was healthy, or if she had other purposes.

"These years...the empress has been left out in the cold. It's my fault." Lu Yu immediately waved his hand, "I will pass on my order and cancel it tomorrow morning. I will accompany the empress well."

"Here..." Following the eunuch's reply, Cai Zhaoji's head lowered and her dimples became even more blushing.

Morning cancellation...

Is it necessary to take so long?Every time she thought of this, Cai Zhaoji's face became even more blushing.

But Lu Yu, he was thinking... It can't be that there is something wrong with him, right?
After becoming the emperor...too hard to mend?

Going too far, counterproductive?

This idea only appeared for a moment, Lu Yu shook his head violently...

- Impossible, absolutely impossible!

——My spring and autumn are in full bloom!

...

...

Bashu, Shangshutai.

Zhao Yun just reported something to Li Yan.

Li Yan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression was originally surprised...

But soon, he was replaced by an even bigger surprise.

"Awesome, Kong Ming's four words are concise, straight to the core, and well-founded... If General Zilong reports these four points to the lord, then...the old man and his winning skills will be unknown... But, the old man is unclear about one thing. General Long wants to help the old man, not Prime Minister Zhuge? It seems that these years... the prime minister has been very kind to Zilong!"
