The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

After passing the exam, Nie Zefeng sat on the seat in his study.

The attendant brought a large pile of answer sheets outside.

Nie Zefeng looked at Xun Yu and the others, and asked suspiciously, "It's like a sea of ​​mist. According to what I learned from joining the army, are there any of these virtuous people who can become famous?"

Xun Yu took out three of the answer sheets, handed them over, and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well pay more attention to these three answer sheets."

Nie Zefeng held it in his hand and looked at it.

The name of the first title is striking: "Three Strategies of the King's Way Zhuge Liang"

In this way, Nie Zefeng watched the discussion one by one. Of course, it was not King Nie Zefeng of Chu who felt a little bit of regret, but the scholars of the bus department who had finished answering the test questions.

Although the virtuous people who have completed the palace examination at the Public Transport Department appear very relaxed on the surface, they are so restless in their hearts.

At this time, Pang Tong was sorting out the classics he brought with him.

Kong Rong came up and asked, "Have you used it? Your treasures?"

Pang Tong sighed, shook his head first, then sighed again, and said weakly: "Hey, it's useless to work for nothing!"

Zhuge Liang over there laughed, and said with a big laugh: "It's okay if it's useless, I finally have a chance to speak, and only fools speak other people's words!"

Pang Tongtong was overjoyed, threw down the things in his hand, and asked, "Really? Mr. Zhuge thinks so too?" Zhuge Liang, after laughing, shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "What the King of Chu wants to hear is Your own words!"

Pang Tong said incomprehensibly: "Then you have to quote the scriptures, don't you?"

I saw Zhuge Liang clapping his chest, and said proudly: "I am the classic! Let people read me! It's not me who reads others!"

Pang Tong sighed: "Mr. Zhuge is magnificent! He is also a great talent!"

Zhuge Liang sarcastically said: "You, Pang Tong, are also very scheming, you can squeeze two drops of oil from one sesame seed!"

Pang Tong cupped his hands humbly and said, "How dare you, brother Kong Rong is a fine man!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Kong Rong sharply.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "This gentleman is also carrying a sharp weapon, not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, everyone laughed.

A loud call from outside said: "The king of Chu ordered the virtuous Zhuge Liang to enter the palace to plan!"

After everyone heard the edict, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhuge Liang together.

Out of the window that was slammed open: they saw a dozen knights of the Imperial Forest Army waiting on the street surrounded by the carriages in the Ichinomiya.

After seeing this scene, everyone looked at Zhuge Liang with gentle eyes.

Zhuge Liang stood up with a square scarf and sleeves, reservedly: "It seems that this Chu king still has some eyesight, huh? Hahaha!"

Zhuge Liang went out with his head held high amidst everyone's dumbfounded eyes.

Zhuge Liang swaggered up to the palace car.

The official gave a signal, and the cavalry surrounded the palace chariot and left in a grand manner.

After the palace chariot drove into Simamen slowly, it did not stop until it reached the proclamation room.

Even though this is the inner courtyard of Chu Palace, the guards are still strictly guarded in front of the awe-inspiring palace.

The cavalry surrounded the palace chariot and arrived.

Zhuge Liang, with the big sleeves of the square scarf, got out of the car and followed the palace servants with his head up without any timidity.

The guards frowned at his limping shoe.

Zhuge Liang greeted them with a friendly hand, as if reviewing them.

Also in the main hall of the Forbidden Proclamation Room.

Joining the army, Xun Yu and Ma Liang were waiting in front of the hall.

The palace hall chanted loudly: "The virtuous Zhuge Liang came to the King of Chu—"

It took only a blink of an eye for the relay to enter the hall, and the message came back from the direction of the hall: "Xuan Xianliang, Zhuge Liang—"

Xun Yu and Ma Liang smiled and signaled to Zhuge Liang, who was walking with his head held high, to enter the hall.

Zhuge Liang passed in front of the two of them without any expression, and stepped into the hall.

Xun Yu and Ma Liang saw that this man was so arrogant, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhuge Liang, who entered the hall, didn't even say hello, and directly sat on the seat set up below.

Nie Zefeng stared intently at Zhuge Liang who was seated.

Moreover, one of Zhuge Liang's shoes was half-limping on his foot.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zefeng didn't become angry from embarrassment, but said with a smile: "This king has read your "Three Strategies of the Way of Heaven". Mr. Zhuge really lives up to his reputation."

Although Nie Zefeng's attitude was relatively modest, Zhuge Liang didn't speak at all, but was looking at the furnishings in the hall.

Nie Zefeng continued to increase his voice and said, "I ordered you to come, because I want to hear Mr. Zhuge's great opinions on governing the country face to face?"

After hearing Nie Zefeng's words, Zhuge Liang cleared his throat and spit on the ground.

In a clean hall like the Xuan Room, even someone dared to spit, especially in front of him, Nie Zefeng couldn't help but burst out of anger in his heart, but as an emperor, he couldn't show it, he frowned.Zhuge Liang then said slowly: "I don't have a good idea. However, the government's major policies and national policies in recent years are really not very good. It is completely missing the point! How can there be such a way to govern the country? Although foreign countries can win one after another, but at this time, the Chu army is already weak. The extent to which Bingzhou cannot be captured for several months is an example. However, for the Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the frontier, if you want to fight, you can fight? When you want to fight, you can fight when you want? The court can’t come up with an effective strategy at all, so what? Success?! In terms of internal affairs, there are more problems. It’s true that the princes with the same surname have been restrained, but the princes and relatives are expanding viciously, and the nobles are even more rude and lawless! And what about people’s livelihood? The annexation of peasants’ land is very serious. The rich are connected to fields, and the greedy have no place to stand. Officials and rich merchants are hoarding, richer than kings, extravagant beyond the limit, such a disparity between rich and poor, something big will happen one day!"

Although the words were harsh, Nie Zefeng obviously listened to them.

Nie Zefeng hurriedly asked, "I want to hear what Mr. Zhuge can do?"

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "The government has the essentials, and you can't be in a hurry. You don't understand the fundamental crux of governing the country at all. King Chu, you can conquer the world immediately, but you can't govern the world immediately."

Nie Zefeng asked: "Then what do you think is the crux?"

After Zhuge Liang picked up the tea on the table in front of the seat, he said, "If you want me to say, what the world really lacks today is a 'spiritual emperor'!"

Nie Zefeng asked again in puzzlement: "Spiritual King Chu?"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said: "Promulgating the imperial edict and implementing the new land law has made the world rich, but it has also caused ideological confusion, and ideological confusion has led to continuous disputes. Without a unified idea, the emperor's personal talent alone will make the world difficult." Long live the peace."

The more Nie Zefeng listened, the more interested he became, and he was completely caught up in what Zhuge Liang said. Zhuge Liang then said, "What do you mean by Spiritual King Chu?"

Zhuge Liang put it bluntly: "Confucius's Confucianism."

Nie Zefeng smiled, and then asked: "Chongli, respect the king, fight against the barbarians, father and son, king, minister, minister?"

Zhuge Liang: "The most urgent thing for your majesty at the moment is to unify your thinking, in eight words: abolish all schools of thought, and then respect Confucianism."

Zhuge Liang talked eloquently in the hall, and he had been talking for a long time before he knew it.

Outside the Xuan Room, Xun Yu said to Ma Liang: "It seems that Zhuge Liang is very interested in the king of Chu! We have been talking for two hours."

Ma Liang sighed: "Next there are Pang Tong and Kong Rong, can we talk about it today?"

Xun Yu sighed and said, "Is the person here? Take it first, and talk about it when we can't talk."

The two of them looked into the announcement room, and now the announcement room was still so intense.

The carefree Zhuge Liang.

Nie Zefeng changed his demeanor, and then asked: "This lord has a personal confusion, and I want to ask Mr. Zhuge..." Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved his hand, and then said: "Wait—"

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt itchy in his neck, his hands fluttered on his collar, he grabbed a flea, pinched out a bubble of blood, threw it on the ground, and said to Nie Zefeng, "Your Majesty said—"

Nie Zefeng held back his disgust and said: "Some people say that I was born in a reckless family, not a nobleman, so I can't be the king of Chu, but the world should be borne by someone with noble family background; Wang, he also said that the heroes of the world should respect Consecrated Emperor as the Emperor, not...Mr. Zhuge, do you think that this king benefited from human beings, or from heaven?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, then pointed to Nie Zefeng and said, "Did your lord understand my "Three Strategies of the King's Way"? In the first of the three strategies, I specifically talked about the 'Relationship between Heaven and Man'. That is the key to the Dao. Extreme! Your Majesty can read it carefully!"

Seeing Nie Zefeng's dissatisfied appearance, Zhuge Liang raised his body, dipped his finger into the water in the teacup, and wrote on the case table: "Heaven—Emperor—Subject—Min"

Nie Zefeng walked over slowly and looked around.

Zhuge Liang said slowly: "If someone asks such a stupid question again in the future, the king will let him read my book. Of course the king is ordered by the sky, the king obeys the will of heaven, and the will of heaven reflects the hearts of the people. The seat of the emperor, whoever has the destiny, will get it." , how could it be passed down by someone? Bullshit!"

Nie Zefeng suddenly became enlightened, and clapped his hands loudly: "Okay! After all, someone has explained it clearly for me. This king likes theories that can be explained clearly!"

Zhuge Liang: "Your Majesty, in today's world, only Confucianism can unify the thoughts of the Chinese people!"

Nie Zefeng and Zhuge Liang continued talking for two hours.Two hours later, I only heard a door boy outside the publicity room delivering a report: "Send Zhuge Liang out of the palace—"

Xun Yu and Ma Liang watched as Zhuge Liang was led out of the palace by the palace servants.

Seeing that Mr. Zhuge Liang had already walked out of the announcement room, the two began to stand up, arrange their clothes, and walked into the announcement room.

They wanted to find out what Mr. Zhuge talked about with a generation of kings, and learning from these contents opened up an era.

Xun Yu walked into the announcement room first.

Xun Yu, who had just entered the propaganda room, saw Nie Zefeng, who was overjoyed.

Xun Yu hurriedly asked, "Is Your Majesty still talking? Those two virtuous men are still waiting outside the palace!"

Nie Zefeng was in such a good mood today, so he said confidently: "Let's talk, my king is in high spirits!"

Xun Yu ordered the guards to go down and continue passing on this virtuous man.

I only heard the report from outside the propaganda room: "The Great King Xuan Xian Liang Kong Rong—"
