Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 229: The Emperor of the Han Dynasty’s Disciple Plan, Zhuge Qiao sets up a martial arts lecture hall (additional update for further pursuit)

Huang Yi has been in the prime minister's house for many years. He comes from a simple family background and has good moral character. He can also read some characters.

Except for the fact that her father's family was poor and sold her as a maid to a wealthy family, she had no bad habits.

In addition to recognizing Huang Yi, Zhuge Qiao also considered Wang Ping's current status when he asked Huang Yi to be registered as a member of the Langya Zhuge clan.

Wang Ping was a loyal general when he was in Longyou.

Wang Ping made many achievements in the Battle of Guanzhong, and he followed Huang Zhong to capture the city of Chang'an.

Although the reward edict has not yet been officially issued, the reward for Wang Ping's accession to the throne to defeat the bandit generals and the title of Tinghou has been determined.

If the bandit general Wang Ping were to marry a lowly maid with no surname as his official wife, Wang Ping would be criticized.

Wang Ping already had low self-esteem. If Wang Ping's personal growth and military prestige were affected by his marriage, this was something Zhuge Qiao did not want to see.

When Huang Yi was naturalized as a member of the Langya Zhuge family, Wang Ping married a daughter of the Zhuge family instead of a named and unnamed daughter of a lowly family.

Zhuge Qiao is also giving the maids and servants in the prime minister's house a hope of getting rid of their humble status.

The maids can be naturalized into the Langya Zhuge family, and the servants can also be naturalized into the Langya Zhuge family.

Zhuge Qiao would not shout out the slogan that everyone is equal easily.

If you want to change, shouting slogans will not work.

For example, Wang Mang changed the status of slaves to private servants and banned the sale of slaves. As a result, even the slaves themselves felt that Wang Mang had deprived them of their rights.

If you want to change, someone has to be responsible for implementing it.

however.

The Zhuge family in Langya is very thin. Counting big and small cats, apart from Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, there are only Zhuge Qiao, Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Rong, Zhuge Wang and Zhuge Pan who has just turned one year old.

Half are still in Jiangdong.

If Zhuge Qiao wants to lead changes, he must first promote the Zhuge family into a prominent family.

Only if the noble clan promotes new ideas, can other noble clans follow suit.

otherwise.

Who would take the new ideas promoted by Zhuge Qiao seriously?
If Zhuge Qiao wants to lead change, he cannot rely on just two or three kittens, big and small.

"Xunzi" advises learning: If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't reach a river or sea.

No change can be achieved overnight.

For example, the imperial examination system requires enough food and enough scholars.

And the most important thing is that there must be enough scholars willing to be "disciples of the emperor"!
This process is difficult and long.

If there are not enough "disciples of the emperor", the result of forcibly implementing the imperial examination system will not be better than that of Wang Mang!
Confucius traveled around the world to promote Confucianism and had three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages.

If it weren't for the strength of numbers, Confucius would have been beaten by the nobles.

How can we talk about ideological change?

"Thank you, General." Huang Yi looked excited.

Become a naturalized Zhuge family member and marry the person of your choice.

Happy events in life suddenly fell on his head, making Huang Yi feel like a dream.

Zhuge Qiao always practices what he preaches.

After Huang Yueying came to the table, Zhuge Qiao mentioned to Huang Yueying the matter of letting Huang Yi become a naturalized Zhuge family member and marry Wang Ping.

In this regard.

Huang Yueying had no objection.

In major matters, Huang Yueying has never interfered with Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Qiao. At most, she would make some additions to the details.

With Huang Yueying's approval, the marriage between Huang Yi and Wang Ping was decided.

During the banquet.

Zhuge Qiao carefully tasted the "pork hoof soup" cooked by Huang Yueying herself.

In the eyes of scholars, dolphin is a cheap meat that only ordinary people eat.

For scholars, "cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure". Cows cannot be slaughtered easily, so most scholars are proud to eat mutton and ashamed to eat pork.

In addition, cattle and sheep eat grass and pigs eat any pickled food, so pork is even less popular among scholars.

Zhuge Qiao has no such sense of superiority.

What kind of meat you eat does not depend on whether it is high or low, but whether it can be eaten and whether it can be cooked to taste delicious.

If there are enough ingredients to choose from, mushroom liver, chicken gizzards, fat intestines, and duck intestines can all be turned into delicious dishes.

Zhuge Qiao told Huang Yueying about the ingredients and cooking methods used in cooking "Dog Hoof Soup".

Refreshes the mouth and nourishes the spleen and stomach.

"How long will Bo Song stay in Chengdu this time?" Huang Yueying asked with concern, worried that Zhuge Qiao would only stay in Chengdu for a few days before leaving.

Zhuge Qiao said without hesitation: "I will not leave Chengdu before spring."

"If grandma wants to go to Hanzhong, I can dispatch some sergeants to escort you there."

"My father is alone in Hanzhong without my mother to take care of him. It's not beautiful either."

"Just take advantage of this period of time to let my father add Linzi."

Huang Yueying was drinking soup when she suddenly heard Zhuge Qiao's words "Add another Linzi" and almost choked: "Bosong, I'm old enough to have a grandson, you want me to add another Linzi?"

Zhuge Qiao said with a smile: "Mom, you are just kidding. You are of an advanced age, and you have a long and healthy life."

“I recently read the Book of Changes, and I occasionally had an idea. I counted with my fingers and realized that my mother is destined to have many children and many blessings.”

"I can have two more brothers and one sister!"

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes at Zhuge Qiao: "How many children do you think you will be blessed with? If you really have many children and you will be blessed, how can you let Bo Song adopt him as your son?"

Zhuge Qiao pretended to be metaphysical and said, "That's because I have the appearance of a prosperous mother."

Being praised by Zhuge Qiao, Huang Yueying suddenly became a little more moved and a little hesitant: "If I have another son, I will definitely be distracted by my younger son and neglect Bo Song."

Zhuge Qiao laughed and said, "Mom is too worried."

"I am away from home all year round and cannot fulfill my filial piety in front of my knees. If I can have my younger brothers and sisters at home with my mother, I can feel more at ease."

"If my mother has a son, it would be a good time to let her keep my dog ​​as a companion."

"In the past, the uncles and nephews of the Xun family in Yingchuan were all outstanding figures. In the future, the uncles and nephews of the Zhuge family will also be famous."

Zhuge Zhan did not receive much instruction from Zhuge Liang, but he became famous as the son of Wolong.

Although there is Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", it has less than 100 words, which is much less than "The Master's Guide".

After all, Zhuge Zhan was limited by a lack of education and a lack of vision. Not only was he lacking in wisdom and courage, but he was also only average in his abilities.

Only loyalty and filial piety are worthy of praise.

If Zhuge Zhan had been born a few years earlier and had been properly taught, he would not have been praised for his loyalty and filial piety, but his wisdom, bravery and weapons would have been insufficient.

Zhuge Qiao was also quite sorry about this.

Especially the discord between Zhuge Zhan and Jiang Wei is even more difficult to reconcile.

Stupid brother, if Fanyou had learned some military skills from Jiang Wei, he would not have been defeated and died in Mianzhu.

Zhuge Qiao had already made up his mind to train his unborn younger brother whose reputation was exaggerated.

Zhuge Liang was too preoccupied with state affairs to teach, Huang Yueying loved her young son so much that she couldn't be cruel, but Zhuge Qiao didn't care about this.

One is a belt, and two are also belts.

The eldest brother is the father.

Bringing one Zhuge Pan is a leader, and bringing another Zhuge Zhan is a leader.

Third uncle Zhuge Jun's son Zhuge Wang and Zhuge Qiao also had to take care of him.

Under Zhuge Qiao's strong persuasion, Huang Yueying finally decided to go to Hanzhong.

Zhuge Qiao was afraid that Huang Yueying would regret it, so he suggested that Huang Yueying follow Liu Chan, Liu Feng, Xu Jing and Li Yan to Hanzhong so that they could take care of each other.

that's it.

Huang Yueying, who had a hurried meeting with Zhuge Qiao, followed Liu Chan's chariot to Hanzhong that evening, taking only her maid Qingyi with her.

Huang Yi wanted to marry Wang Ping, so he stayed in the mansion and let Zhuge Qiao arrange the naturalization, marriage and other matters.

After enjoying their time with Guan Feng for a few days, Zhuge Qiao began to make a new layout.

Although he won the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao Wei was not injured.

Cao Pi, who had Qing Jiyou and joined Yanyu and Xu Si in the eight states, was stronger than Yuan Shao in the past.

The Central Plains has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population, which Liu Bei and Sun Quan are far behind.

Now that Cao Pi is defeated, his strategy towards Liu Bei will inevitably change.

When it comes to development, Liu Bei cannot compete with Cao Pi.

Never mind the hidden population.

In terms of registered population alone, the population under Cao Pi's rule was four times that of Liu Bei's.

Coupled with Cao Wei's birth system and the population policy similar to "if a woman does not marry at seventeen, her parents will be guilty; if her husband does not marry at twenty, her parents will be guilty".

The longer time passes, the more Cao Wei's population advantage can directly crush the emerging Han Dynasty with strength and skill.

The most important thing is that even if the population grows rapidly, Cao Wei's vast fertile fields can still afford it!
When Sun Quan of Jiangdong sees Liu Bei's power, he will definitely have another dissatisfaction!

For Sun Quan, loyalty to the Han Dynasty was just a cover, and becoming the Han King of Wu was just a means to survive.

Once Liu Bei's threat is greater than the benefits he can get from Liu Bei, Sun Quan will definitely destroy the alliance again!

In addition, Dahan also has serious internal worries.

Among them, the biggest internal worry is that "veteran generals are getting old", and the second generation of Han Dynasty is in decline.

Except for Liu Feng and Guan Ping, who are older, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are in their early twenties.

Zhang Shao, Zhao Tong, Zhao Guang, Huo Yi and others, the oldest is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Generals such as Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Gou Fu, Zhang Yi, as well as Deng Zhi and Zong Yu who were stationed in Jingzhou were brave and good at fighting but had too little experience.

Even the eldest Liu Feng and Guan Ping, and even Zhuge Qiao himself, are currently unable to truly stand alone.

Xiangfan is led by Guan Yu, Longyou is led by Zhuge Liang, and Guanzhong is led by Liu Bei. Although Zhuge Qiao has made many contributions, he is not the one who really gives orders after all.

In these three battles, Zhuge Qiao joined the army as a surprise soldier.

Zhuge Qiao had suppressed his military achievements and not been promoted, but continued to act as a general to assist the Han Dynasty. This was also to avoid achieving meritorious service too quickly and overestimating his abilities.

Pulling seedlings to encourage growth will only damage the foundation.

Now there are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and other older generations standing in front to protect us from the wind and rain.

Zhuge Qiao wants to try some new ideas that he has never had the chance to try before.

a few days later.

Beicheng, Chengdu.

In front of the spacious pavilion, a stone tablet was erected.

Three big characters "Lectures on Martial Arts" are carved on the stone tablet!
Next to the stone monument, a public notice board was erected, with Jufu and Zhang Yi standing with swords in hand. The content on the public notice board is very unique, very different from the common sects, and the wording is more civilian.

1. Personnel composition:
Principal: Zhuge Qiao, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty
Honorary principals: Prince Liu Chan, General Guan Yu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang
Lecturers: General Zhongxin Wang Ping, General Zhongyi Ma Zhong, General Zhongzhi Jufu, Zhongyong General Zhang Ni, Zhongxin School Captain Yao Wei, Zhongyi School Captain Du Zhen, Zhongli School Captain Liu Shen, Zhongyong School Captain Liu Yin, and Zhongzhi School Captain Mi Zhao.

2. Course delivery:
Compulsory theoretical courses: Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wei Liaozi, Wu Zi, Sima Fa, Liu Tao, and Three Strategies (taught alternately by Yao Yi, Du Zhen, and Liu Shen)
Military drill classes: formations, swords and shields, bows and arrows, obstacles, etc. (Liu Yin and Mi Zhao teach alternately)
Practical command class: marching, setting up camp, setting up camp, ambush, etc. (Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Gufu, Zhang Yi teach alternately)
3. Recruitment requirements:
The person has a clean family background, is literate, has no history of breaking the law, is unmarried, and is between 12 and 20 years old.

Zhuge Qiao's reputation in Chengdu is not small. As soon as the stone tablet and public notice board were put out, it instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.

The wording is civilian and can be understood by more people.

Looking at the titles of generals and captains, as well as the names of Zhuge Qiao, Liu Chan, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, the hearts of the onlookers were shocked.

The content taught in the course attracted everyone's attention.

A group of generals and lieutenants teach you step by step how to be an officer. Where can you find such good things in ordinary times?
however.

Everyone was silent when they saw the recruitment request.

It's okay to say that he has an innocent family background. After all, with so many generals and captains coming to teach, you can't teach someone who comes from an unclean family background.

It's just that the last four requirements, "literate and hyphenated", "no history of breaking laws and disciplines", "unmarried" and "aged between 12 and 20" are too harsh.

A scholar was dissatisfied and asked: "Why does it have to be unmarried?"

Jufu looked at the scholar and pointed to the ferocious scar on his face: "I'm afraid that if you die, your lovely wife will be left a widow."

The scholar was shocked: "You still have to go to the battlefield?"

Jufu snorted coldly: "Why did you come to the martial arts school if you don't dare to go to the battlefield? Do you want to gain power and wealth? Or do you want to live as an officer?"

"Have you seen who the honorary principal of the Martial Arts Hall is?"

"The prince, the general and the prime minister!"

"The prince is the future emperor of Han Dynasty!"

"If you join the martial arts hall, you will be a disciple of the emperor!"

"How can a disciple of the Emperor be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"If you are afraid of death, just stay here!"

The scholar blushed when he was found, and he yelled and defended: "Who said I am afraid of death! I can't abandon my wife and children just to join the martial arts hall!"

Not many people paid attention to this scholar, and more people's eyes were attracted by the four words "disciple of the emperor".

Another scholar asked: "The prince is just an honorary principal, and the principal is General Fu Han. How come he becomes a disciple of the emperor? Shouldn't he be a disciple of General Fu Han?"

Zhang Ni shouted: "You are so rude! Have you read into the dog's belly?"

"If the emperor asks you to serve as minister and select virtuous people, are the virtuous people you select all your disciples?"

"What's your name? Whose son is it? Who is your apprentice?"

He asked five questions in a row, which made the scholar red-faced and speechless.

On the pavilion.

Zhuge Qiao and Anhan general Mi Zhu stood side by side.

Looking at the scholars below who were scolded by Jufu and Zhang Yi one after another, Mi Zhu looked worried: "Bosong, if you do this, you may offend the scholars in Shu County."

"I know you are not afraid of rumors, but those people are the best at confusing right and wrong and taking things out of context."

"It will have an impact on your reputation after all."

Zhuge Qiao gently shook the feather fan in his hand: "Things that are clear will become clear, and those that are turbid will become turbid."

"I have a clear conscience, so why should I be afraid of rumors?"

"What's more, General Anhan is here today. If someone in the court asks, General Anhan can defend me."

Mi Zhu suddenly felt a headache: "Bosong, I am your elder after all. It is not good for you to plot against me like this."

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "General Anhan, what you said is too outrageous."

"Your eldest grandson Mi Zhao's name is also on the public notice board."

"You are caring about your eldest grandson, not that I am scheming."

Pulling Mi Zhu along can reduce unnecessary troubles.

Zhuge Qiao's purpose was to select talents, not to quarrel with the disapproving group of scholars.

Mi Zhu calmed down slightly: "Bosong, if you want to change the court's selection method, you are dancing on the tip of a knife, and you can easily hurt yourself."

"The inspection and selection of candidates has been implemented for nearly four hundred years. It is not something you can do just because you want to."

"Even if you are in the name of 'the emperor's disciple', you can't hide it from those smart people."

"As long as their interests are harmed, they will not support this method of selection."

"In the past, when I was in Xuzhou, I donated money to Tao Qian and luckily got the post of Xuzhou Biejiao."

"However, in the eyes of the scholars in Xuzhou, I am still just a low-class businessman."

"The rules of the past four hundred years cannot be broken."

Zhuge Qiao put away his smile and said solemnly: "General Anhan, I have considered everything you are worried about."

"However, what I know more clearly is that if it doesn't change now, it won't change in the future."

"Emperor Guangwu seemed to have revived the Han Dynasty, but in fact it was just a wealthy family who annexed the land and population and chose Emperor Guangwu."

"Wang Mang's Rebellion, too many people died, and too much land became ownerless, so stability was barely maintained."

"However, since Emperor Guangwu, the conflicts between aristocratic families and wealthy families annexing land have become more and more intense."

"First the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jiao broke out, followed by the border warrior rebellion led by Dong Zhuo, and then there was the struggle between aristocratic families led by Yuan Shao."

"Although Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are dead now, tens of millions of Han people have also died."

"The remaining aristocratic families are also becoming more and more aggressive in annexing land and people."

"In the past, tens of millions of people were fighting for land. Now, millions of people are fighting for land."

"If you don't seek change, even if we help your majesty revive the Han Dynasty, within a hundred years, a powerful family will appear than the Yuan family in Runan."

"It will even evolve into a more brutal family feud no less than that of the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"The method of selecting the emperor's disciples must be implemented."

"This method of selecting talents may not be the best, but it can make the imperial power more concentrated and make it less likely for aristocratic families to become powerful."

"As long as aristocratic families cannot become powerful, the country will not be easily divided."

"Even if there will be crooked kings and traitorous ministers in later generations, great people will emerge and follow the trend of the times to develop more advanced methods of selecting talents."

"And what I want to do is to weaken as much as possible the wealthy families that may lead to the division of the country."

"Similar to the old days of extending orders of favor and cutting down vassals, the purpose of promoting the emperor's disciples is also dismantling the old order of aristocratic families cultivating disciples and minions."

"If I have to be hesitant even in asking for this level of change, then I might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill me."

"What's more, I'm not fighting alone!"

No system is perfect.

What celebrities in the past dynasties couldn't do, Zhuge Qiao couldn't do it either.

What Zhuge Qiao can do is to use the new order to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes when the old order goes to extremes.

Aristocratic families from various states and counties want to be promoted to a powerful family?

Then build a super family with concentrated imperial power, use force to overcome cleverness, and outshine the others.

Although there will be various new problems after the concentration of imperial power, this historical necessity can be left to the celebrities of later generations to deal with.

Zhuge Qiao is not a god, and it is impossible for productivity to jump directly by thousands of years.

Different eras have different ways.

Zhuge Qiao's words made Mi Zhu fall into deep thought for a short time.

a long time.

Mi Zhu looked at the high-spirited Zhuge Qiao and secretly made a decision: I am already half dead, yet I am not as clear-eyed as Bosong.

What's the point of regretting my old age!
"Bosong, I think there is something wrong with your method." Mi Zhu looked at Zhuge Qiao with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Zhuge Qiao raised his chin slightly: "Problem? I didn't find any problem."

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "You haven't been in Shu County for long, and you don't know the changes in Shu County in the past two years."

"If you become the principal, I'm afraid you won't even be able to recognize people."

"I think I should be the principal!"

Zhuge Qiao was thoughtful and instantly guessed Mi Zhu's intention. His expression changed slightly: "General An Han, you don't understand how this works. What's the use of being the principal?"

Mi Zhu shook his head: "I will not interfere with your specific operations. I will only be the principal in name."

"Bosong, I admire you for your youthful spirit and your desire for change."

"It's just that this world is dangerous, and killing people often happens without a knife."

"Anyone in this martial arts hall, including my eldest grandson Mi Zhao, can take the blame, but you cannot take the blame."

"As long as you are fine, the most we can do is let Mi Zhao and others settle in another place without risking their lives."

"But if you are ill, it will be difficult for Wang Ping, Ma Zhong and others to get ahead."

"I know you don't want others to take the blame, but since you want to change, the most important thing is not how you want to change, but that you must first learn to keep your power."

"It's better to leave it to an old man like me to step ahead and step into traps."

Zhuge Qiao said calmly: "General Anhan, I'm just here to test the reaction of the powerful families in the martial arts hall. I won't touch it too deeply."

"With my current status and military achievements, I won't get burned."

"You don't have to be like this!"

Mi Zhu shook his head: "If you want to test, you have to test more harshly; a small fight will only bury deeper roots of trouble."

"And I don't think you're going to build a martial arts hall just to have a small fight."

"If you don't agree, then I can only ask His Majesty for orders."

Zhuge Qiao was helpless: "General Anhan, why do you need to file a complaint against me for such a trivial matter?"

"Don't worry, I'm very measured. As long as I find something amiss, I will immediately activate a backup plan."

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Since there is no danger, then I want to be the principal."

"Although you are good at commanding troops, you are not as good at planning money and food as I am."

"As the principal, you have to find a way to raise money and food, right?"

"The Prime Minister has always been frugal, how much food can you afford?"

"If I were to be the principal, I would take care of all the expenses of your martial arts hall."

"You don't even need to hire someone to settle accounts. I don't think there is anyone in Chengdu who knows how to settle accounts better than me."

Mi Zhu talked about this, and after careful consideration, Zhuge Qiao finally agreed to Mi Zhu's proposal.

Originally, he only asked Mi Zhu to be a witness, but he didn't expect to drag Mi Zhu into the water directly. This made Zhuge Qiao feel a little guilty: "General Anhan, please pay homage to me."

　This book is not about politics. This chapter focuses too much on the protagonist's strategy of destroying the aristocratic family. The focus is still on the military, eating, sleeping and beating Sun Quan. [Actually, I find that writing this kind of content is boring and boring. I still rely on the defense, so I don’t challenge my own weakness.]
