Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 199 Zhuge Liang's return date, preparations for the Great Court
Li Gan was startled, and almost threw the wine glass in his hand.

It turned out to be true! !

Although he had been mentally prepared before, Li Qian was still a little surprised after hearing the news.

After passing the general examination and becoming an official in the court, wouldn't it be in his hands?

Although I don't know why Zhuge Liang suddenly had the idea of ​​taking the exam, but at the moment Li Gan has only one thought.

That is to get Zhuge Liang!
He took a deep breath to calm down, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Have you ever registered with the Ministry of Rites?"

"If not, I still have some connections to help him register without anyone noticing, and it will never be known by outsiders."

Now that he has found Zhuge Liang's whereabouts first, Li Gan must grasp this advantage and prevent Zhuge Liang from entering the sight of others.

Seeing that Li Qian's sincere expression did not seem to be fake, Zhuge Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, my brother has already finished his registration."

"what?"

Li Gan was startled, and subconsciously sat up straight: "Impossible!"

Now the ministers of the court are all staring at Zhuge Liang, and there are many smart people among them. If he can think of him going to sign up for the exam, someone may have been staring at the Ministry of Rites long ago.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for Zhuge Liang to register without anyone noticing without alarming anyone? ?

and many more……

Li Gan was startled suddenly, perhaps Zhuge Liang had turned to the people in the Ministry of Rites, only they could do it!
Could it be Song Qiaonian?Li Qian's heart tightened subconsciously, and he couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Cai Jing, as the chief examiner of this subject's examination, seems to be the best choice for every candidate...

Seeing Li Qian's reaction so violently, Zhuge Jun seemed to have thought of something, let alone talk about the registration.

Li Gan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Zhuge Jun: "Can I ask, when did Brother Ling apply for his name? Who did he apply for?"

Zhuge Jun was a little secretive: "It was a while ago... the normal report..."

Li Gan frowned slightly, but then he relaxed again. He raised his wine glass and took a sip: "Brother Zhuge, as long as it's about the Ministry of Rites, even if you don't tell me, I can find out."

"It's just that the movement may be a bit big by then, and many people may know it."

Zhuge Jun's breath stagnated, and he clearly felt the threat from Li Gan's words.

Originally, he thought that Li Qian was a descendant of a high-ranking official and noble family, and after taking him, he would come back and claim credit with his family.

But after waiting for such a long time and no one came, Zhuge Jun realized that the person who made the decision here might be Li Gan.

Moreover, when he first found out that Zhuge Liang was going to take the exam, the confidence that he could help sign up was too strong. This young man seems to have great energy in the Ministry of Rites...

But how is this possible?
Zhuge Jun sneaked a glance at Li Gan from the corner of his eye, how old is he?
Looking at this appearance, I am afraid that he has just been crowned, and he may not even be a Juren. How can such a great ability come from?
But his words, those performances don't seem to be pretending...

Zhuge Jun gradually became entangled in his heart, trying to persuade himself that Li Gan was just bluffing.

But what if he was found out...

Li Gan stared at his performance intently, and suddenly said: "Brother Zhuge doesn't want to say anything, I always don't like to force others to make things difficult. The reason why I asked this is just to make friends with Mr. Wolong."

Li Gan didn't make things difficult for him, he just wanted to have a good relationship with Zhuge Liang.

Even if Zhuge Liang really leaned towards Cai Jing's group, he couldn't act too hastily, otherwise he would only push them further and further away.

After finishing speaking, seeing Zhuge Jun's expression of embarrassment became more serious, Li Qian knew that he would be wrong.

"Do not misunderstand."

Li Gan waved his hand, and put on a friendly smile on his face: "I'm not threatening you. I really mean what I say. The Ministry of Rites is so big and the officials are intricate. I can't control too much. I'm just curious about Brother Ling."

Only then did Zhuge Jun heave a sigh of relief, took a sip from his wine glass, and cupped his hands at Li Gan: "Thank you for your understanding, brother."

It wasn't until now that he had a glimmer of approval for Li Gan.

Li Qian nodded with a smile: "By the way, brother Ling is in the capital? I have been in love with him for a long time, can you introduce him for me?"

Zhuge Jun seemed to have expected that Li Qian would say this, he smiled helplessly: "Brother, although my elder brother came to the capital with me, he went to visit friends after he came to the capital."

Li Gan frowned: "Could it be...the trace is uncertain, I don't know where it went?"

Zhuge Jun looked at Li Gan with some surprise: "How does brother know?"

Li Gan didn't answer his question, but frowned and asked: "Is the return date uncertain, maybe three to five days, or ten or so days?"

Zhuge Jun choked for a moment, and could only say: "Brother, it's really a fortune teller~"

Li Qian curled his lips speechlessly, thinking that your old Ge family's speech skills are really unchanged.

Zhuge Jun was afraid of angering Li Gan, so he hurriedly said: "Since my elder brother said that he will come to take the exam, he will definitely come back before the exam."

"Hmm..." Li Gan nodded indifferently, of course he knew the truth.

But by then it will be too late and the risk will be too great.

What if Zhuge Liang was found by other people during this period, and what should I do if I am cut off?
Zhuge Jun looked at Li Gan's face, and hurriedly added: "There is also New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, he will definitely come back!"

Li Gan's eyes lit up, and he raised his head to look at Zhuge Jun: "Is this true?"

"Really, absolutely really can't be true anymore."

Zhuge Jun hastily promised: "At the end of the year, who will stay outside to visit friends? Everyone is going home for reunion!"

Li Gan was a little overjoyed, now there are only ten days until New Year's Eve, that is to say, at most ten days before he can see Zhuge Liang!

This is much less time than waiting for the test, and the risk is greatly reduced.

"Okay, then brother Zhuge will be needed to introduce him." Li Qian looked at Zhuge Jun with a smile.

Zhuge Jun wiped off his sweat: "It's a duty, it's a duty."

Li Gan was very satisfied with his straightforwardness, pointed to the rich food and drink on the table and said: "Brother Zhuge, hurry up and eat, lest the food will get cold in a while."

"If you're not used to living in the humble house tonight, I can take you home."

Just as Zhuge Jun was about to move his chopsticks, he suddenly raised his head when he heard the words: "Are you willing to let me go home?"

Li Gan smiled heartily: "Brother Zhuge was joking, my place is not a bandit village, so how can there be any reason to force you to stay here?"

"Of course, if Brother Zhuge wants to live here, you can. After all, the capital is not safe. There are so many people asking for news about you and Brother Ling."

"Although my house is not big, it is hidden and safe. No matter who it is, it can't threaten you."

Zhuge Jun was taken aback, as if surprised by Li Gan's tone of voice.

Li Qian glanced at him again with a smile: "On the other hand, if brother Zhuge is afraid of his family worrying, he can go back tonight. Even if the curfew is in, I can send you home safe and sound."

Li Gan was showing his ability, lest Zhuge Jun still have some unrealistic fantasies and make some small moves.

If something really went wrong, Li Gan couldn't be harmed, only himself.

It now appears that the effect of these words is extraordinary.

Zhuge Jun swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "In that case, please trouble brother, send someone to take me home."

He seems to have figured it out, and it's useless to spend it here.

Since Li Gan is going to visit Zhuge Liang sooner or later, he will definitely know where they live at that time, so what are they doing hiding now?
Li Gan nodded with a smile, and pointed to the food and wine on the table: "Don't worry, eat first, and then we'll talk when we're full."

Zhuge Jun followed Zhuge Liang to cultivate fields in the mountains since he was a child, and most of his food was simple tea and light food.

And what Li Qian prepared for him today is naturally the most high-end banquet in the capital, crab powder lion head, hibiscus chicken slices, deep-fried fish celery...

The selection of ingredients, cooking, and chefs are all top-notch, and they are delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. Such meals usually only appear on the tables of those dignitaries.

When he was speaking just now, Li Gan had already noticed that Zhuge Jun's eyes kept looking at the table, so naturally he would not let him go immediately.

"Thank you, brother." Zhuge Jun seemed to have broken the pot, and it fell into Li Gan's hands anyway, and he was no longer afraid of wolves and tigers, but buried his head on the table and started eating.

Li Gan just stayed with him and ate a symbolic amount.

Zhuge Jun worked for a long time before he was full, clutching his stomach and leaning on the chair contentedly, he let out a long breath: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your hospitality."

As he spoke, he didn't intend to stay any longer, and stood up directly: "Brother Li, let's go."

Li Gan didn't mind that he left after eating, but smiled and said: "If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can still find me at the stall where Fang Feitian is waiting today."

"In case you are targeted by some unreasonable people, just go there."

Zhuge Junxin said, is there anyone more unreasonable than you?

But he still smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you brother Li."

Li Gan asked to take him home again, and then he got into the carriage and went back to the palace with Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi.

"Your Majesty, is this Zhuge Liang really that powerful?"

There was some doubt in Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes: "Is it worthy of His Majesty's attention?"

Lu Zhi was also a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, I have never heard of this person's name before, and you have never seen him before, and now you are so troubled by him..."

Li Qian was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Dagan is so big, it's normal if you haven't heard of him, but I have heard of him."

"And even if you haven't heard his name, you can see the reaction of these people in the capital."

"Li Yuan, Yang Jian, Cai Jing, Qin Hui...these people are better than each other. They are all people who don't see rabbits and don't throw eagles."

"Now that they have sent so many people, they are constantly looking for Zhuge Liang in the capital, which is enough to show his talent."

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi then nodded thoughtfully.

The carriage passed through the night and headed towards Miyagi...

23 sticky melon, 24 cleaning the house, 25 fried tofu, 26 stewed lamb...

Day by day, the atmosphere of the whole Dagan is getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital is also getting stronger and stronger.

Every day, many officials greeted and sent off with smiles in front of their mansions, and the number of guests in various restaurants also surged up.

Although he was on vacation, Li Gan found that he didn't have much free time, and the reason was that the Great Court Meeting would be held a few days later.

Daqian originally had three major ceremonies, namely, the Winter Solstice, Zhengdan, and Wanshou Festival.

But later, because the Winter Solstice Dynasty was too close to the Zhengdan Dynasty, the two gradually merged into one.

As for the Longevity Festival, it refers to the birthday of the emperor himself, but whether such a grand dynasty will be held or not depends entirely on the mood of the emperor himself.

The specifications of the event also depend entirely on the strength of the country at the time.

If when it is held, the Daqian court is not strong, and His Majesty the reigning emperor is also a softie, then it will be difficult to manage the Wanshou Festival grand dynasty in a decent manner.

On the other hand, if a generation of heroes reigns and pushes the Dagan court to a whole new level...then his Wanshou Festival dynasty is likely to be even grander than the Zhengdan dynasty.

At the great court meeting, the emperor generally announced some major decisions to the officials and the people all over the world, or mentioned major achievements and so on.

Li Gan has been having a headache about this for the past few days.

Long before the seal, Qin Hui had approached Li Gan about this matter, but Li Gan at the time said that he had to look again.

But in fact he didn't know what to say.

Li Qian looked back on the six months since he took the throne, and found that he hadn't done much, and most of the time he was intriguing with people like Cai Jing who were careless.

What can be said?

Li Gan first thought of helping Yue defeat Wu.But it has not been fully completed yet, but according to the progress of the Forbidden Army, they should be able to overcome the natural danger of the Yangtze River now, right?
If the military report from the Ministry of War could be sent over a year ago, I would be able to talk about it.

Hmm... The war against Wu has achieved a staged victory, and it is now steadily advancing, and the situation is very good. Wherever the imperial court's imperial army went, the people ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's army... It is expected to win the battle against rebellion next year total victory...

What else?

Stabilized the situation in Longxi?This seems to be a matter of duty, and a while ago Gao Shilian wrote a secret report, saying that although the situation in Longxi has stabilized, in fact it is undercurrent and not calm.

So Li Gan didn't dare to write this thing into his "credit". If he had just announced it, some people with a heart would stir up trouble in Longxi, then Li Gan would be ashamed.

In addition, the most worth mentioning is the disaster relief in Xingyang.

In previous years, when the Yellow River burst its embankment, the lives of Xingyang and Bianzhou would be devastated, the people would be displaced, and countless people would die indirectly as a result.

Even if they survived by luck and did not starve to death or freeze to death, they had to sell their land to the landlord and become tenants from then on.

But this year, with Li Gan's operation, He Shen and Yan Song also paid attention to disaster relief.

According to Li Qian's understanding, although the Yellow River flood this year was more serious than previous years, the number of deaths was greatly reduced.

In addition, there is the suppression of mergers and the construction of dams...

Li Qian nodded lightly. Although the levee has not been repaired, it is not impossible to say it.

He pondered for a moment, then continued to record: the resettlement of the victims was stable and orderly, and there were no major casualties. Under the model of "relief with work", the recovery work in the affected areas was gradually promoted, the repair of the levee continued, and the overall situation was stable. Zhong Xianghao and so on.

After briefly summarizing the situation in the past six months, Li Gan began to think about his goals for next year.

First of all, it is something that cannot be written. To deal with Cai Jing, an old hooligan who has been fighting against me, with such a person, nothing can be done...
