Chapter 987
The cries in Zhuge's mansion became louder and louder, so that the neighbors around couldn't help but come out to inquire. Some people held swords. Could it be that there are some thieves making trouble?When the surrounding strong men rushed to the gate of Zhuge's mansion, the gate of Zhuge's mansion was opened, and the two servants in charge of guarding the gate were kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly. Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Hastily stepped forward to ask.

"What's going on here? What happened in Zhuge Mansion?"

"Ling Gong passed away!!!"

It's just this sentence, like a bolt from the blue, everyone was stunned, not only here, after this sentence spread, more and more cries came from more and more places, there were endless cries in Luo County, The crying became louder and louder. Many temple ministers jumped up from the bed in fright when they heard the crying. Their eyes were full of panic. They all thought that something happened to the emperor and walked out in a panic. After inquiring, I found out that it was Zhuge Linggong who died.

However, this did not change their mood. In some respects, Zhuge Linggong's death was more serious than the emperor's death.

It was late at night, and for some reason, Liu Qu always felt a little uneasy. The weather today is really weird. It is not the rainy season in Sili, but since the evening, there have been lightning and thunder, but no rain. Liu Qu tossed and turned, why? Unable to fall asleep, he sat on the bed and listened carefully. After a long time, he heard the sound of raindrops dripping. There was a yellow door walking outside the door in a hurry. There should be no stagnant water in the palace. They are going to check the drainage places everywhere to see if there is any blockage.

After a long time, the raindrops are getting bigger and bigger. Liu Qu has not gone out, but he can already imagine the scene outside the door, a rain curtain covering the entire Luo County. Right here, Liu Qu suddenly heard exclamation. Is that drain blocked?Suddenly hearing the cry again, Liu Qu jumped up suddenly, the queen woke up suddenly, sat up hastily, looked at Liu Qu beside her, before she could ask, Liu Qu hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out of the hall.

As soon as Liu Qu opened the gate of the palace, he saw two yellow gates standing in the rain. The rain was so heavy that it was driven by the wind and hit Liu Qu hard. The yellow gates stood in the rain, sobbing , I couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on my face. Seeing the emperor, Huangmen bowed and said: "The country. Zhuge Linggong is gone!!"

"What did you say?" Liu Qu's face became ferocious, he grabbed Huangmen's neck and dragged him in front of him, with his head resting on Huangmen's forehead, like an angry bull with red eyes, he asked : "What nonsense are you talking about?!!"

"Country. Zhuge Linggong." Huangmen cried and said, since a long time ago, the Huangmen eunuchs in the palace and the scholars and ministers outside the palace did not deal with each other. During Kang Xiaoxian's period, they had always been in opposition. There was only one person who changed the situation. This person was Zhuge Linggong. Zhuge Linggong's heart was unmatched by everyone.

He will never look down on anyone, whether it is a doctor or a craftsman, whether it is a person from the Central Plains or a frontier, whether it is an eunuch or a farmer, he can treat everyone equally. He was the only one among the officials who would thank the Huangmen who offered him tea. He even recommended several Huangmen to the emperor. He believed that these people could handle the affairs of the palace well and the emperor could trust them.

It is precisely because of Zhuge Linggong's attitude and because of his heart that the Huangmen in the palace also loved him deeply. Therefore, after learning of his death, even the Huangmen were so sad that Liu Qu suddenly threw the Huangmen away. After going out, he ran towards the outside of the palace. A group of yellow men screamed and chased after him, but they couldn't catch up with him. Some of the yellow men prepared chariots and horses. The emperor stepped forward and untied the horses directly. Put the rope on your body, jump on the horseback, and run away!

The horseshoes splashed countless water, Liu Qu was drenched, as if he had just been picked up from the water, when the horse galloped to the gate of Zhuge's mansion, there were already crowds of people outside the gate, and countless embroidered envoys followed the emperor Behind him, when the knights reined in their horses in front of the gate of the mansion, everyone looked at them, and then retreated one after another, making way for Liu Qu to get off his horse and walk into the mansion.

In the mansion, there are countless people kneeling down.

He could see clearly that there were two young people kneeling in front of the front. Yuan Yao lowered his head and knelt in front of the courtyard gate. He couldn't see his face, his shoulders trembled slightly, followed by a burst of lightning, Liu Qu just saw his face, he opened his mouth, crying silently, and beside him was Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke Maintaining a five-body throwing posture, regardless of the mud on the ground.

After that, there are Cao Zhi, Cao Chong, Kan Ze, Deng Ai, Sun Quan, Ma Liang, Zhong Changtong, Li Hui, Liu Ba, Pang Tong, Liu Yi, Huang Quan, Yuan Xi, Lu Su, Fazheng, Sun Li, Jiang Wei Wei, Wei Yan, Fu Gu, Zheng Yi, Huan Fan, Gu Yong and others.

The officials of the temple gathered here. Although Zhuge Linggong's final retirement system angered many people, but on the day he left, all these grievances and grievances left with Zhuge Linggong. Spontaneously rushed here to see off Zhuge Linggong sincerely. Looking at these people, Liu Qu did not speak for a long time. He walked to the inner courtyard. Zhuge Linggong was lying quietly on the bed with a smile on his face. Liu Qu walked up to him side.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

"If you go, what should I do?"

Holding that cold hand, Liu Qu's tears also fell, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

In the seventh month of the fifth year of Tianji, in Yangdu of Langya, there was a yellow dragon hovering in the sky, not leaving for three moments. People were shocked and said that the nobleman of Langya had passed away.

In August, Minister Zhuge Linggong, the Minister of Zhongtai, died.

Hearing the bad news, all the people are mourning, all the people are weeping, and all the scholars are thinking about it. For a while, the big men are seeing off Zhuge Linggong. Linggong lives his life and works in various places to benefit the people. .

In September of the year, the emperor wept greatly, and he was granted the title of Marquis Zhongwen.

In October, his son Zhan was named Marquis of Langya County, and Princess Raoyang was named Princess Huiwen.

Sitting in the meeting hall, Liu Qu seemed a little silent, and the officials sitting on both sides did not dare to speak. Since the death of Duke Zhuge Ling, the emperor has become very irritable. In just two months, the emperor has granted Zhuge Ling several times. Duke, even to his heirs, all kinds of continuous rewards, some people persuaded the emperor, the rewards were too heavy, but in the end he was almost beaten to death by the furious emperor, the court changed the sky for a while, except Zhuge Linggong, no one else The emperor can be persuaded.

Today, they are sitting here, but they are discussing the ownership of Shangshuling. The position of Shangshuling is extremely important and needs a capable successor. However, in today's temple, no one dares to covet this position. First of all, Zhuge Duke Ling did so well, they were afraid that they would not be able to continue Zhuge Linggong's original arrangement. In addition, the emperor valued Zhuge Linggong too much, and they were afraid of being reprimanded by the emperor.

The original power of the temple was divided into three parts, each of which was occupied by the three orders, but now that Zhuge Linggong passed away and took up the position of Shangshutai, how could he be able to subdue the ministers under Zhuge Linggong's command? At the Taiwan meeting, what did Shang Shuling rely on to compete with the other two orders? ?Shang Shuling is not that easy to do, and everyone knows it well, but there are a few young people who feel that they are qualified for this position.

Among them are Zhuge Ke and Yuan Yao.

It's just that they are too young, and they have already been criticized for their servant shooting. If they serve as the third order, they will probably arouse the resistance of all the officials. Liu Qu is sitting in the top position. Of course, he is also thinking about this The question is, in the temple, who can be the minister?He looked around seriously, but this time he couldn't let the official's government come forward. The power to appoint the three orders is still in the hands of the emperor, so he can only find out a Shangshu order himself.

It would have been fine if it had been the original, people like Lu Su, Fazheng, Zhou Yu, etc. could inherit, but the problem is, after Zhuge Liang promulgated the new system, these people had to leave the temple, because their age has exceeded Zhuge Ling The age set by the government, therefore, there are many fewer people who can choose. Among the younger personnel, they are either too young, or the emperor is too worried.

People like Cao Chong, Yuan Yao, and Cao Zhi are too young, and Zhong Changtong, Deng Ai, and Kan Ze make Liu Qu feel uneasy. Liu Qu never thought that one day he would not be able to choose a successor Liu Qu's last gaze fell on Deng Ai, the person in the position of Ling Gong. Deng Ai is not too young, and he is considered a duty in the temple. However, he has been busy with farming and sang. I don't know what talent he has in other aspects of politics.

Perhaps seeing that the emperor didn't have any candidates in his mind, Pang Tong stood up slowly, walked in front of the emperor, bowed himself, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has played!"

"Oh? Please."

"The minister recommends the servant of the Jimin Mansion to shoot Yuan Xi as the order of the Minister!" When Pang Tong said this, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Yuan Xi who was sitting among the ministers. Yuan Xi was sitting in his seat. , lowered his head, thinking about the waterlogging that broke out in Chengdu this year, and thinking about how to calm it down. When he heard this sentence, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong said very seriously: "Mr. People, conscientious and conscientious, have been in office for decades, have never heard of any evil deeds, are diligent in their actions, and are well-respected among the people!"

"Huh!" Liu Qu snorted coldly, but interrupted Pang Tong's words.Yuan Xi?The records in the Heavenly Book appeared in Liu Qu's mind again, this guy is mediocre and incompetent, he has no achievements in his life, even the most incompetent among Yuan Shao's children, he is also worthy to be the minister?He was about to taunt a few words, when Yuan Shu's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the heavenly scriptures, the dynasty usurped the throne, and the bones in the tomb were dead. At this time, Yuan Zi, Gongyang Confucianism, and the general of the Han Dynasty. Liu Qu felt a little shaken in his heart. He looked at Yuan Xi seriously this time, and Yuan Xi looked a little panicked. Uneasy, before the emperor could speak, he got up and said: "How can I be a minister, and I can be a minister, and a servant can shoot. If I think that I am not worthy of virtue, how can I be a minister?"

Seeing his reaction like this, Liu Qu felt a little annoyed, and asked displeasedly, "Why, you don't want to work for me?"

"I dare not"

"That's you!" Liu Qu said, stood up angrily, and left the meeting hall without looking back. Yuan Xi looked blankly at Liu Qu who was leaving, and then at the officials. The minister looked at him complicatedly, some with envy, some with envy, some with resentment, and some with disdain.
"Alas", Yuan Xi frowned and let out a long sigh.
