The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 Chapter 268
Zhuge Liangliang nodded, clasped his fists and said back: "Returning to the general, my brother has already told the matter to Caomin. It's just that the grassroots are ignorant, and I'm afraid I can't teach you well. Therefore, Caomin begs the general to hire another expert to avoid delay. Young Master's future."

Hearing that Zhuge Liang directly rejected him, Zhang Yan showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and immediately asked, "Zhuge Liang, you mean that you don't want to teach my son to read, right?"

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Yan's face changed color, but he didn't have the slightest fear, and replied solemnly: "General Qi, it's not that the grassroots don't teach, but I'm afraid it won't be good. The son is a nobleman, and the grassroots are young and talented. I'm afraid If you can't teach your son well, if you delay your future, wouldn't that ruin your son? For example, a piece of fine jade can only be carved into ordinary items in the hands of ordinary craftsmen, but if it is In the hands of a skilled craftsman, you can carve out a treasure handed down from generation to generation. Your son is like this piece of beautiful jade, but Caomin is definitely not a skilled craftsman, so if you can’t carve a treasure from generation to generation, you will waste this piece of jade.”

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was not very angry. Zhuge Liang is a person who has been passed down through the ages, and he is also a person he is more optimistic about.But the current Zhuge Liang is still a stunned young man without enough life experience. After all, he is not the same as the middle-aged and old Zhuge Liang.

Zhang Yan suddenly felt that what Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable, maybe it was just his wishful thinking, and Zhuge Liang might not really be better than the people around him at this time.

He thought for a while, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "What you said makes sense. But since you are here, you don't have to leave. You can stay with this mansion. This mansion will arrange an official position for you as soon as possible. Your brother is the prefect of Taishan County, and he is deeply loved by the local people, and he manages Taishan County in an orderly manner. I hope you can become a beloved official like your brother, and even hope that you can surpass your brother and become a governing country The pillars of the..."

Before Zhang Yan could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang suddenly interrupted Zhang Yan, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, General, but Cao Min has no plans to become an official yet..."

"Zhuge Liang, you have to think about it. Others can't ask for an official, so you don't want to be one?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I want to report to the general, to be honest, Cao Min has been studying with Mr. Shui Jing in Xiangyang, and only came back to visit relatives these few days. Who knows that when I arrived at the door, I received the invitation from the general. If I refused at that time If I don't come, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, so I came to Pengcheng to speak clearly with the general face to face. Now that I haven't completed my studies, I don't have the intention of becoming an official for the time being. The grassroots just want to feel at ease Finish the rest of your studies, and when you have completed your studies, it will not be too late to serve the General!"

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Yan knew that Zhuge Liang had no intention of being an official, but was focusing on his studies.However, he was unwilling to let Zhuge Liang go.

Historically, Zhuge Liang and his elder brother Zhuge Jin were not the same kind of people, and they were their own masters. The two people had different understandings of politics and governance concepts.

Therefore, if Zhuge Liang is allowed to leave today, it will be difficult to invite him back in the future.

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Zhuge Liang, since you have no intention of becoming an official, the government will not force you."

"The general is reasonable, and the grass people admire him!" Zhuge Liang said hastily.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Don't rush to praise me, I still have something to say. You don't want to be an official, you just want to finish your studies, it's not impossible, but you can't leave Pengcheng, just finish your job in Pengcheng. The rest of your studies. As for your mentor, Mr. Shui Jing, I will send someone to bring him from Xiangyang to Pengcheng, and even your classmates and friends, and I will send someone to send it to you in Pengcheng Build a school building for you to complete your studies."

Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded when he heard this. What is the difference between doing this and restricting his freedom?
He frowned, and immediately said: "General, Mr. Shui Jing is a very stubborn person, I'm afraid he won't hike to Pengcheng..."

"Don't worry, the government will find a way to make them come to Pengcheng willingly."

"General, a twisted melon is not sweet. As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions. Why should the general make things difficult for others?"

"Because you are worthy of this. Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid that even you can't estimate your talents. This government values ​​you so much, and I will never let you leave my side easily. If you go to help others, After that, you may become my enemy. Just in case, I have to keep you in Pengcheng. Don’t worry, I will not hurt you. You will enjoy all freedom in Pengcheng, and you can even go outside For hiking, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of this government, you can go wherever you want. But if you want to leave the area under the jurisdiction of this government, then don't blame this government for being rude to you!"

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "General, what's the difference between you doing this and putting the grassroots under house arrest?"

"Think whatever you want." Zhang Yan stopped talking nonsense with Zhuge Liang, and waved his hand at Jin Yiwei, motioning him to take Zhuge Liang out.

Zhuge Liang frowned tightly, his face flushed with anger, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Serve Mr. Zhuge well!" Zhang Yan yelled loudly to Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei nodded, followed Zhuge Liang and went out.

However, Zhang Yan was still a little worried. After all, Zhuge Liang was too smart. If he slipped away when he was coaxed by his Jin Yiwei, it would be troublesome.

So, Zhang Yan called Xu Sheng, and asked Xu Sheng to send out ten Jinyi guards, day and night, to closely monitor Zhuge Liang's every move and not let Zhuge Liang leave Pengcheng for the time being.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't like such an approach, Zhang Yan had to do this to trap Zhuge Liang and keep Zhuge Liang under his nose.

Zhang Yan's idea is very simple, since Zhuge Liang cannot be used by me, he cannot be used by others.

Later, Zhang Yan called Jia Xu, the captain of the Sili school, and asked him to write an imperial decree, and summoned Mr. Shui Jing to the palace to give lectures to the emperor.

However, this edict was not directly sent to Mr. Shui Jing, but to Liu Biao, who asked Liu Biao to send someone to escort Mr. Shui Jing to Pengcheng to give lectures to the emperor.

After the imperial decree was sent out, Zhang Yan began to look for a mentor for his son Zhang Han. In terms of talent, learning and reputation, in the world today, only Situ Yang Biao has both talent and virtue.

Yang Biao was undoubtedly the best candidate, but what Yang Biao studied was Confucian classics, and although there were some skills and principles of governing the country, Zhang Yan always felt that something was missing.

After much deliberation, Zhang Yan finally decided to let Jia Xu, the captain of the Sili school, teach his son Zhang Han.

Jia Xu was jokingly called a "poison man" by later generations. In terms of Confucian classics, he could not compare with Yang Biao, but in terms of the unique learning of life, the way of using soldiers, and the art of resourcefulness, Jia Xu far surpassed Yang Biao.

So, Zhang Yan called Jia Xu over again, and immediately said straight to the point: "I am going to let you teach my son Zhang Han academics, I wonder if you would like to?"

"Thanks to the lord's respect, I will definitely do my best to teach you son!" Jia Xu said flattered.

"Well, from now on, I will entrust Zhang Han to you. However, as the captain of Sili, you are busy with work, do you have time to teach him?" Zhang Yan suddenly thought of another question, and asked road.

Jia Xu said: "Don't worry, my lord. If I can handle the time issue well, I will definitely not delay my son's studies, nor will it affect my subordinate's official duties."

"Okay, I'll call Zhang Han over here, you guys get to know each other first."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan asked someone to call Zhang Han to the front hall.

After a long time, Zhang Han, three and a half years old, ran over. His face was full of childishness and ignorance. As soon as he came to the hall, he ran straight towards Zhang Yan, and opened his two little hands. Repeatedly shouted: "Daddy hug, daddy hug!"

Zhang Yan bent down with a smile, hugged Zhang Han who was running over, and said loudly: "My dear son, you are getting heavier and heavier. If you grow older in the future, I am afraid that Dad will not be able to hold you anymore." .”

"Then I will never grow up, so that Dad can hug me forever." Zhang Han blinked a pair of childlike eyes, and said in a childlike voice.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Silly son, how can this person not grow up? Even if you grow up to look like an adult, with the strength of your father's arms, you can still be picked up. Moreover, my father also hopes that you will grow up quickly." , In this way, you can help Dad share some things. Come on, Dad will introduce you, this is Mr. Jia. From now on, Mr. Jia will be your teacher, and you will be Mr. Jia’s apprentice. From now on, Mr. Jia Whatever you say, you do, understand?"

Jia Xu hurried over and said with a smile on his face, "Jia Xu has met the eldest son!"

Zhang Han looked at Jia Xu, he knew this person and saw him often, so he knew who he was without an introduction.He patted Zhang Yan's arm and shouted: "Father, father, let me down quickly, let me down quickly."

Zhang Yan put Zhang Han on the ground, Zhang Han straightened his clothes as soon as his feet touched the ground, and bowed respectfully to Jia Xu: "Student Zhang Han, see you sir!"

Zhang Yan and Jia Xu were stunned when they saw it. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They never thought that Zhang Han would be able to show such etiquette at such a young age.

"Son, who taught you this prayer just now?" Zhang Yan immediately squatted down and pressed Zhang Han's shoulder and asked.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Dad, this is what my mother taught me. My mother said that my father will find me two masters today. One will teach me to read and write, and the other will teach me martial arts. My mother said, if I see the master When the time comes, visit them like this to show respect for them."

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Zhang Yan fell in love with Mi Zhen even more in his heart.
