Chapter 46 Reconciliation?
Li Yan has a big problem with his character.

He has an arrogant temperament and doesn't know how to get along with others.

When he was in charge of Jiangzhou, he forced his subordinate General Yamen to surrender to Wei due to personal conflicts. He did not bother to associate with other officials of the same status as himself, so his popularity was naturally very low.

Forget about his poor popularity, after Liu Bei's death, Li Yan was uneasy about local affairs in Jiangzhou.
Not happy with the fact that he, a single minister, had been sent away, Li Yan began to slack off in his work.

During the first attack on Wei, Zhuge Liang originally wanted to transfer Li Yan to the north to guard Hanzhong.
However, Li Yan resisted in every possible way. He also wanted to reorganize Bazhou with five counties and serve as the governor himself, but Zhuge Liang refused.

He also wrote a letter with ulterior motives to persuade him to enter the position of Jiuxi, that is, to become king. Zhuge Liang was frightened and quickly wrote a letter to refuse.

In the eighth year of Jianxing's reign, Wei general Cao Zhen invaded the border area, and Zhuge Liang ordered Li Yan to lead his army to Hanzhong to prepare for the enemy's invasion.

Li Yan was dissatisfied again and sent someone to leave a message saying that the Wei State had specially set up an official position to recruit him.
Zhuge Liang saw through his intentions at a glance, and he just wanted to get some benefits from this, so he went to the emperor to confer Li Yan with the title of General of Hussars.
At the same time, the affairs of Jiangzhou were also entrusted to Li Feng, Li Yan's son, and Li Yan happily went north.

Li Yan made a terrible death this time, and the direct reason for his demotion was during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in the ninth year of Jianxing's reign.

Zhuge Liang was in good form on the front line. According to records from Shu, he defeated Sima Yi.
But Li Yan, who was in charge of transporting grain and grass, lost his temper. He first sent someone to tell Zhuge Liang that there was a problem with the grain transportation and asked Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops.
After Zhuge Liang returned to the south, he falsely accused Zhuge Liang of retreating without authorization, hoping to get rid of the responsibility for the failure of transporting grain.

……

Above the sky, when Li Yan was denounced that Zhuge Liang was Cao Mengde, a majestic voice came:

"Master Li said that I am Cao Cao, which makes some sense. Cao Cao is the Prime Minister, and I am also the Prime Minister.

But although Cao Cao and I can share the same topic, we cannot stand side by side.

Cao Meng was virtuous and treacherous, Zhuge Liang was loyal. Loyalty and treachery are incompatible.
I wonder why Your Majesty issued an edict for me to return to Beijing? "

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and after explaining something, he looked at his good student Liu Chan, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Liu Chan quickly said:

"Xiangfu, Xiangfu... I have not called you back to the capital. My decree has not been sent out yet!"

"Bold, Zhuge Kongming, you actually dare to send troops back to Beijing for no reason. Do you want to rebel?
Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang has a disloyal heart. He not only sued for peace with Sima Yi in private, but now he wants to intimidate Your Majesty and also asks Your Majesty to take him down and punish him! "

Li Yan's pupils shrank and he couldn't help shouting.

No one expected that Li Yan would complain first, but Prime Minister Zhuge still shook his feather fan lightly.

Li Yan's urgent voice came again:
"Your Majesty, quickly capture Zhuge Liang, this rebellious minister!"

...

On the battle sound!
[The sky has cleared up and the rain has stopped. Does Little Plum feel like she can do it again? 】

[This old man is so shameless! 】

[I liked Zhuge Liang when I was a child, but when I grow up, I like Zhuge Liang even more]

[Sichuan and Shu are originally easy to get in and difficult to get out [laughing and crying]. The exit is blocked, and you can't get out or get in. The Prime Minister's Northern Expedition was also too difficult, and there were people holding him back. 】

……

On the canopy,
Before Prime Minister Zhuge could defend himself, Li Yan's son Li Feng stood up, bowed his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, if the Prime Minister really has a rebellious intention, he can command the [-] troops in Sichuan and pacify Chengdu in only half a day. Why should the Prime Minister bother to do so?

This time the prime minister came in a hurry and only brought more than 50 cavalry with him. How could he rebel with just these few people? "

"Beast, you thief!"

Li Yan couldn't stand listening anymore and kicked his son down.
Liu Chan:...!
Prime Minister Zhuge slowly took out a handwritten letter from his body, handed it to Li Feng, and said with a smile:

"General Li, please see if the contents of this letter are true or false?"

After Li Feng read it, his expression changed drastically. He raised his hands to Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is indeed my father's handwriting. As the letter says, it is indeed my father who ordered the withdrawal of the troops!"

Zhuge Liang said slowly:

"However, it is said that fairness lies in glory and profit, but it is not intended that fairness is the opposite.

Mr. Li, you have been blinded by power. You are no longer the Mr. Li who asked for orders for the people, and you are no longer the conscientious and good official. "

To put it bluntly, Li Yan only cared about his own glory and wealth and did not think about the long-term interests of the country.

Liu Chan said angrily:

"Li Yan...you are the beast, you are the traitor, please come and take him down quickly!"

(very loud)!
The guards stepped forward and took Li Yan down directly.

……

After Ji Han and "Li Yan" were taken away, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.
Li Yan also saw his shameless face. He couldn't even believe that that person was him, and he was so greedy.
Confusing right and wrong, calling a deer a horse, and even trying to frame Prime Minister Zhuge, is this worthy of the lord's kindness?

Just as he was hesitating, his lord Liu Bei finally walked up to him and said softly:
"Zhengfang, if you make a big mistake, you won't have a chance to repent, but the military advisors have forgiven you.
Gu is also willing to give you another chance, do your job well, and don't let Gu down again. "

"Your Majesty, I, my ministers... dare to refuse to die, you will be devastated!
And Mr. Zhuge, I was too prejudiced in the past. It was only through Tianmu that I realized what a great talent you possess!
I am far inferior to you, and I wish I could bear the thorn and plead guilty.

From now on, I am willing to be at your disposal. I also hope that my husband can clear up all the past grievances. You and I can work together to restore the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital. "

Li Yan calmed down and faced the forgiveness of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. He solemnly bowed his hands and bowed with a look of pious regret on his face.

After Li Yan surrendered to Liu Bei, he not only presided over the "Six Water Gate" hub project,
The Pujiang Bridge was rebuilt, and large-scale water conservancy projects that were in serious disrepair such as Dujiangyan and Liushuimen were renovated.

Although he became a traitor, he was really a capable minister, which was very precious to Ji Han.

Zhuge Liang was relieved to see that Li Yan could find his way back and correct his mistakes.

He quickly stepped forward, took his hand, helped him up, and said with a smile:

"Master Li is willing to act in an honest and honest manner. I, Zhuge Kongming, don't have the capacity to accommodate people like Lin Xiangru. Please come up quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'm very relieved that the two of you can put aside the past feud and work together. It's a revelation today!"

Liu Bei smiled happily, and even pulled the two of them happily, showing a bright smile.

Ji Han's other ministers also smiled proudly when they saw this scene. Zhang Fei was still a little resentful, but seeing that the military advisors had forgiven him, he couldn't say much.

I just made up my mind: Old man surnamed Li, I, Old Zhang, will definitely keep a close eye on you. If you dare to stumble the military advisor again, it will be over if I can't get you!

"Hahaha……"

……

Above the sky, after Li Yan was imprisoned, Zhuge Liang went to visit him, but unfortunately he failed to convince him, and in the end he could only retreat with regret.

Then he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went to the palace to meet Liu Chan early the next morning.

I saw Liu Chan leaning listlessly on the desk, with huge dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not rested well, and he looked exhausted.

Seeing Zhuge Liang enter the palace, he quickly stood up and said in a trembling voice:
"Father, you are here..."

Looking at his young child, Prime Minister Zhuge sighed heavily in his heart, bowed his hands, forced a smile and said:
"Greetings to Your Majesty, I am here."

 Zhuge Liang's plot is almost over, guess who is the next character to appear?
