Mi Han

Chapter 383
Since Liu Bei established the Han Dynasty, although Liu Chan was still young as a prince, because of his status, he has always been the focus of attention of the ruling and opposition parties.

Da Si Nong Meng Guang asked Yi Ji Liu Chan's temperament and preferences many times, and wanted to hear Yi Ji's specific views on Liu Chan.

Yi Jishan is well-known for his knowledge of people, and he is also Liu Chan's tutor. In addition, Yi Ji has a noble character, so his answer is very informative.

However, under Meng Guang's repeated inquiries, Yi Ji only prepared to say that Liu Chan is a virtuous corporal and has the style of an ancient gentleman.

Meng Guang was not satisfied with Yiji's answer, he said to Yiji: "What you said is what ordinary people should have; what I want to ask today is to know about the prince's power and wisdom. How about it."

Meng Guang's temperament is straightforward, and he is a rare official in today's Han Dynasty.

He asked these questions only out of concern for the future of Dahan.

Yi Ji also knew Meng Guang's purpose, but he never answered Meng Guang's question directly.

After Yiji repeatedly avoided talking about it, Meng Guang understood what was going on.

And although Meng Guang did not publicize this matter, others would also inquire about what Meng Guang would inquire about, and many ministers knew no less than Meng Guang.

So at present, the entire Han dynasty basically knows Liu Chan's character traits of being weak and not good at intelligence.

It is precisely because they know this that these ten or so ministers dare to be so "unscrupulous" today.

Liu Chan is the prince, and they just bully Liu Chan without knowing the truth.

Once Liu Chan is induced by them to say that Mi Yang's new policy is wrong, it will deal a huge blow to Mi Yang's new policy.

What the ten or so ministers didn't expect was that everything was going according to their plan, and Liu Chan was obviously swayed by them.

But I didn't expect Li Miao, the sixth child, to anger Liu Chan with a single sentence.

These ten or so ministers may not know where Liu Chan is angry, but this does not prevent them from being frightened by Liu Chan's rage, and they all prostrate themselves in fright, and dare not look at Liu Chan again.

Although the princes of the Han family received Confucian education, it is not uncommon for them to kill people indiscriminately.

Don't forget that Liu Chan is a descendant of Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty.

Li Miao's performance was even more embarrassing than other ministers who were terrified and prostrate on the ground.

The pain caused by the bamboo slips on his body made Li Miao grin his teeth in pain, and at the same time, the panic in his heart was constantly accumulating.

This prince is different from what the outside world rumored.

Doesn't it mean that he almost never loses his temper?
Looking at the ministers who were all panicked because of his anger, although Liu Chan had unbearable expression in his eyes, the anger on his face did not decrease at all.

His actions just now completely violated the teachings of many masters in the past.

But even so, Liu Chan will not regret Fang Cai's actions.

He knew that he did not have the extraordinary intelligence of Zhuge Gong, and he also knew that he did not have the wise eyes to distinguish right from wrong like his father.

This caused him to be shaken by the admonition of a dozen ministers just now.

But he knew that some people would never betray or deceive him.

Also in this great hall that day, he and his cousin made a high-five oath, promising to be equal to each other.

The unswerving oath until death is still in his ears, how can he doubt his cousin?

He would never do such a thing.

Maybe he couldn't see why Mi Yang suddenly launched a new policy, and he didn't understand why Mi Yang's new policy aroused so many criticisms.

But he knows that once the oath is made, it is a day, a year, and a lifetime that cannot be repented.

Liu Chan is now like a young dragon baring its teeth and claws. Because of the anger in his heart, Liu Chan pointed at the dozens of ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and began to curse indiscriminately:
"Where were you when the champion fought bloody for the great man? Where were you when the champion defeated the enemy for the great man and exalted my national prestige?

Now Champion Hou is Liang Zhou Mu, he just wants to carry out the New Deal, but you all jumped out to slander him, you are simply ulterior motives, extremely hateful! "

Liu Chan was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, so his swearing skills are obviously not good.

Just from his tone, it is enough to hear the strong dissatisfaction in his heart now.

To be honest, Liu Chan still can't understand the main content of Mi Yang's New Deal.

Is it just important?

He believes in Mi Yang, so he believes that everything Mi Yang does is for the good of the big man.

That being the case, he just needs to support Mi Yang.

Even if this New Deal fails in the end, it doesn't matter. No one can do things without failure. If they fail, try harder next time.

This is the most simple thought in Liu Chan's heart now.

Don't say this to Mi Yang, he will do the same to Zhuge Liang in the future.

After Liu Chan angrily reprimanded the above words, more than a dozen ministers were frightened by him and kowtowed continuously.

Being angrily reprimanded by Banjun for having ulterior motives, how can this not frighten the ministers.

It's just that Liu Chan hasn't really taken power yet, so although he was angry with these ten or so ministers, he still forcibly suppressed his desire to punish them in the end.

Liu Chan just looked at the ten or so ministers with angry eyes, and then uttered a word coldly from his mouth:

"roll."

After hearing this word, the ten or so ministers immediately bowed to Liu Chan as if relieved of a heavy burden, and then left Liu Chan's hall one after another.

Among them, Li Miao almost fell down because of the fear in his heart before leaving.

Seeing the dozen or so celebrities who used to be eloquent in front of him, but today they acted like this, Liu Chan's disdain for them deepened in his heart.

After more than a dozen ministers had left, Liu Chan turned his head and said to a little Huangmen beside him:
"If I hadn't been the prince now, I would have put Li Miao in prison and punished him long ago."

Hearing Liu Chan's words, the little Huangmen immediately praised Liu Chan and said: "The prince is wise and martial, and he puts benevolence and righteousness first. It is really a blessing for the community."

Seeing this little Huangmen praising him so much, Liu Chan showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

In the past, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang never praised him so much, but they were just ashamed. It can be seen that Liu Chan enjoyed such flattery very much.

Liu Chan looked at this little Huangmen named Huang Hao with admiring eyes.

Huang Hao is a servant assigned to him by the Shaofu not long ago. Compared with other servants, Huang Hao undoubtedly understands his meaning better and can easily please him.

So in just a few months, Liu Chan has already regarded Huang Hao as his confidant.

After looking at Huang Hao, Liu Chan suddenly remembered something.

From the words of the ten or so ministers just now, it can be seen that the whole Yizhou now maintains a negative attitude towards Mi Yang's New Deal.

Thinking of his cousin facing such a situation, Liu Chan must feel uncomfortable.

So Liu Chan dragged Huang Hao to the side desk and sat down.

He wants to write a letter to comfort Mi Yang, and he wants to tell Mi Yang that no matter what happens, he will stand behind him.

Huang Hao saw Liu Chan's eagerness, so he immediately researched ink for Liu Chan.

After Huang Hao studied the ink, Liu Chan immediately raised the brush in his hand and began to write at his desk.

Huang Hao at the side looked at Liu Chan's inadvertent look of anticipation when he wrote a letter to Mi Yang, and then thought of Liu Chan's performance in front of the minister just now.

He understood Mi Yang's position in Liu Chan's heart.

After realizing this, Huang Hao secretly warned himself in his heart:
"In the future, we must never become enemies with Liang Zhoumu."

As early as when Liu Chan scolded Li Miao angrily, Liu Bei who heard Liu Chan's performance took Zhuge Liang and left the gate of the palace one step earlier.

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang all the way to the imperial garden.

Along the way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the monarchs and ministers, were speechless to each other.

Before and after arriving at Yiwang Qingtan at the Imperial Garden, Liu Bei stopped.

After Liu Bei stopped, Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei's shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Then bursts of laughter came from Liu Bei's mouth.

As Liu Bei's loud laughter lingered in Zhuge Liang's ears, Zhuge Liang heard a sentence in his mouth clearly.

"I have no worries, I have no worries."

This sentence explained why Liu Bei suddenly laughed.

What made Liu Bei feel at ease was Liu Chan's performance just now.

Knowing a son is like a father, not to mention Liu Bei is a monarch who is famous for his knowledge of people.

The ministers know something about Liu Chan's character, how could Liu Bei not know?

Just because he knew it, Liu Bei was worried in his heart in the past.

Can A Dou, who is not good at intelligence, be able to protect the world he conquered in the future?

Such worries have been lingering in Liu Bei's mind in the past.

That's why after the ministers criticized Mi Yang's new policy, he said he was sick and did not see the ministers, but asked the ministers to ask Liu Chan's opinion on the matter.

Many ministers have guessed Liu Bei's intention.

But no one can guess the real deep intention of Liu Bei's doing so.

Since Liu Bei already knew the real situation of Liu Chan, it was certainly not his resourcefulness that he asked the ministers to test Liu Chan.

Resourcefulness is often a matter of talent.

Since Liu Chan never had superb knowledge before, no matter how hard he tried, it would be very difficult for Liu Chan to improve his resourcefulness.

What Liu Bei really wanted to test was Liu Chan's character.

In the past days, many people praised Liu Chan for his gentle temperament, but as a monarch, it doesn't matter whether his temperament is gentle or not.

Among the many wise emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, which ones were gentle in temperament?

In order to protect the country well, Liu Bei's minimum requirement for Liu Chan is to know who to trust and who not to trust.

It's just that for this point, even Liu Bei didn't have confidence in his heart in the past.

After all, since Liu Chan was studying, most of his contacts were Yizhou gentry. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Liu Chan to be more emotionally inclined to them.

So Liu Bei arranged for today's test, and personally listened to the results of Liu Chan's test outside the hall.

Although Liu Chan's bewildered performance at the beginning made Liu Bei very dissatisfied.

But when he heard that Liu Chan supported Mi Yang, Liu Bei's heart was full of joy.

He already got the answer he wanted, so he left with Zhuge Liang.

It was also because he was delighted with Liu Chan's performance that Liu Bei laughed so heartily in front of Zhuge Liang.

Listening to Liu Bei's bursts of hearty laughter, perhaps Zhuge Liang failed to guess Liu Bei's deep intentions at first, but after looking at Liu Bei's performance, he has already guessed it at this time.

Zhuge Liang bowed to Liu Bei and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhuge Liang didn't say congratulations to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang had guessed everything.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang after laughing, and he asked, "You can come today, which means that the current public opinion situation is very unfavorable to Zisheng."

Faced with Liu Bei's judgment, Zhuge Liang nodded with concern.

Compared with Zhuge Liang's worries, Liu Bei didn't have any sadness on his face.

Because as a monarch, he can use more methods than Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's hand to the pool, looked at the calm pool under his feet, and said with deep meaning: "Since the Battle of Hanzhong, Chengdu has been too quiet.

Just like the pool of water under our feet, it is lifeless.

Does Kong Ming think this will be a good thing? "

Zhuge Liang answered Liu Bei's question after thinking about it, looking at the calm pool of water in the ancient well beneath his feet:

"Maybe it looks calm on the surface, but it is precisely because of the calm that ordinary people cannot judge how many undercurrents and fish that want to pounce on their prey are hidden in this deep and bottomless pool."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's answer, Liu Bei sighed and nodded.

"I never thought that the aristocratic family would completely obey because of the chaos that year.

Their dissatisfaction with me has always been clear in my heart.

To be honest with Kong Ming, I have always wanted to find a chance to put down the chaos again, but before the wars between the Han and the Han were frequent, I have not been able to get this hand out.

Coupled with the fact that those aristocratic and wealthy families have seemed quite peaceful in recent years, I have no reason to do this for a while. "

"How can there be any greedy fish that doesn't bite the bait?
Fish die for bait, and people die for profit. This is a truth that has never changed through the ages. "

"I will always do what I have to do, and my gray hair is getting more and more."

When Zhuge Liang suddenly heard Liu Bei's words, his face showed a look of shock.

Although Liu Bei didn't say it too clearly, Zhuge Liang knew the metaphor in Liu Bei's sentence.

The monarch's physical condition has always been the country's biggest secret. Liu Bei's ability to tell him this shows that Liu Bei has sufficient trust in him.

It's just that Zhuge Liang instinctively resisted this secret, and he wanted to comfort Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhuge Liang that there is no need to comfort him.

Regarding his physical condition, Liu Bei naturally knew it well. After all, he was over sixty years old, and he suffered from old diseases after many battles when he was young.

However, the promising sons of the Han family have never been afraid of life and death, they are only afraid of doing nothing for a lifetime.

So Liu Bei continued to say calmly: "Man is mortal, so is the king.

Besides, in this world, there are probably countless people who want me to die like crucian carp crossing the river.

But before that day comes, I will take care of many things for the prince, for you, and for Zicheng. "

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhuge Liang remained silent with a sad look on his face.

Seeing the sad look on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei asked him, "Do you know how to make the undercurrent hidden under the calm water surface, and the fish all show up?"

Regarding Liu Bei's test, Zhuge Liang thought of what Liu Bei said just now, and already had some guesses in his heart.

But before Zhuge Liang answered, Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang the answer with his actions.

I saw Liu Bei stooped to pick up a stone, and then threw it straight into the calm pool.

When a large stone was thrown into the water surface like a bronze mirror, the water surface instantly disintegrated into pieces of broken lenses.

Then, centering on the landing point of the boulder, bursts of strong fluctuations began to shoot towards the entire water pool.

Under the rapid spread of violent fluctuations, the originally calm water became tumbling.

Many filth and sundries that were originally hidden deep under the water surface were completely exposed in front of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the monarchs and ministers.

At a glance.

Looking at the disgusting filth and the greedy fish swimming away in a panic in search of food, Liu Bei's face was cold.

"Come on, the messier the better.

Did Zisheng do something wrong?

They all thought I was old.

I am old, but I am still willing to use a knife! "
