The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 727 Chapter 726 Moving the Capital Office

Zhuge Liang ran forward all the way, overtaking the soft sedan chairs of many courtiers on the way, and when he was approaching the gate of the imperial city, he caught up with the soft sedan chair that Zhuge Jin was riding in. Seeing that Zhuge Jin was about to enter the imperial city, Zhuge Liang Then he shouted loudly: "Master Zhuge! Master Zhuge!"

Zhuge Jin was sitting in a soft sedan chair, spending the night in Chen Qun's mansion, everyone was brainstorming, but the fact of the abdication ceremony is a very important matter, and it must be kept from the regent Zhang Yan, everything must be done in secret, and nothing can be leaked Fengsheng, in this way, the difficulty factor has increased a lot.

Therefore, everyone discussed for a whole night, but they didn't come to a conclusion. They could only go to the morning court first, and as for the abdication ceremony, they could only discuss it in the long run.

At this moment, Zhuge Jin was still thinking about some details, when suddenly he heard someone calling him loudly behind him, and the voice sounded very much like his younger brother Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the soft sedan chair, and looked out .

Zhuge Jin didn't take this seriously, and really saw Zhuge Liang chasing from behind, and hurriedly shouted to the bearer who was carrying the sedan chair, "Stop the sedan chair!"

The bearer suddenly stopped moving forward and dropped the sedan chair to the ground. Zhuge Jin lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out of the sedan chair. So flustered?"

Zhuge Liang was already out of breath due to running all the way. After running in front of Zhuge Jin, he gasped for breath first, then looked around, took Zhuge Jin's hand, and without saying a word, put Zhuge Jin Pulled towards the dark place on the side of the road.

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Kong Ming, what are you doing? Let go of me, let people see me, what's the matter?"

Zhuge Liang pulled Zhuge Jin under the shade of a tree by the side of the road. There was no light here, and some of the moonlight was blocked by the leaves, making the place very dim. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot people standing here.

"Brother, tell me the truth, where did you go when you didn't return all night last night?" Zhuge Liang changed his previous attitude, with a serious look on his face, and even his tone of voice became stiff, as if he was questioning Zhuge Jin. .

Zhuge Jin said: "Why do you ask this? Where am I going, do I still need to report to you? But you can rest assured that I will definitely not do anything out of line!"

Seeing Zhuge Jin's reluctance to speak, Zhuge Liang felt even more suspicious. In his heart, Zhuge Jin was usually an upright gentleman who was upright and upright, and enforced the law fairly.

However, today Zhuge Liang saw Zhuge Jin coming out of Chen Qun's mansion, and several important ministers in the court also came out one after another, which made Zhuge Liang a little worried, so he hurriedly chased him, fearing that Zhuge Jin would be involved, so he did Let's find out.

"It's getting late, and the morning court will start soon, so I won't chat with you here."

As soon as Zhuge Jin finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but she was pulled back by Zhuge Liang.

"Brother, if you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to leave here today!" Zhuge Liang's attitude became tougher, "Did you stay in the house of Minister of the Household Department Chen Qun last night?"

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, did not expect that Zhuge Liang would find his whereabouts, and saw that Zhuge Liang's eyes were red and bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept all night, and just happened to catch up with him here.In addition, Zhuge Liang continued to stay in Pengcheng as the prefect of Liaodong, and he did not have the quota for the early court. It seemed that he was here specially waiting for him.

Zhuge Jin couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked, "You actually followed me?"

"What am I following elder brother for? I was ordered by the King Regent to come to the morning court today. I happened to pass by the Chen Mansion. I just saw you coming out of the Chen Mansion. That's why I caught up with you and wanted to find out." Zhuge Liang said frankly. tell.

Zhuge Jin frowned, and asked again: "What else did you see?"

Zhuge Liang then told Zhuge Jin what he saw, and asked solemnly, "Brother, are you planning something?"

Zhuge Jin argued: "What kind of conspiracy is it? It's so ugly. Yesterday was the birthday of Lord Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. We went to the Chen Mansion to celebrate his birthday, but we drank a few more glasses and got drunk in the Chen Mansion..."

"Nonsense! Brother never drinks, how can he get drunk!" Zhuge Liang said in a low voice, "Brother has never lied since he was a child, and whenever he lies, he will be full of loopholes. Brother, you and I are brothers, the closest people , is there anything you can't tell me? Why do you have to get involved with those people? "

Zhuge Jin also really wanted to slap herself, she couldn't even tell a lie.Seeing that Zhuge Liang could no longer be put off, he cleared his throat, and said to Zhuge Liang solemnly: "Kong Ming, it's better for you not to bother about brother's affairs. In short, I promise you that after the matter is completed, you will will be greatly rewarded."

Hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Zhuge Liang felt more and more that there was something wrong with Zhuge Jin. In his mind, it seemed that Zhuge Jin, Chen Qun and others collected black money together, and then they were about to obstruct the move of the capital.So Zhuge Liang shouted: "Brother, you are so confused. What you are doing now is tantamount to playing with fire and setting yourself on fire. To tell you the truth, the Regent has appointed me as the director of the capital relocation office, and I will be fully responsible for the relocation of the capital." Well, if you join forces with those ministers to fight against the regent at this moment, you are undoubtedly digging your own grave, because the regent is very determined to move the capital, and whether you agree or not, he will carry it out to the end..."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhuge Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Zhuge Liang had discovered their conspiracy, but judging from the current situation, what Zhuge Liang was referring to was something else. The cow is irrelevant.

"Kong Ming, don't worry, my brother will definitely not have anything to do with this matter. Moreover, I am also one of the supporters of moving the capital, so how can I fight against it?" Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jin's smiling face, and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Zhuge Jin nodded heavily, and said, "Of course it's true, I can swear to God."

Zhuge Liang asked: "Then why are you gathering so many people in the residence of the Minister of the Household Department?"

"Didn't I just say that yesterday was Chen Shangshu's birthday, and I was going to celebrate it, but it was too late, so I didn't go back, but stayed in Chen's residence to rest, Chen Shangshu...Chen Shangshu found me A concubine, you must keep a secret for me, and you must not let your sister-in-law know, otherwise, with her temper, she will really quarrel with me, and I will not have any good fruit... "After Zhuge Jin thought about it, he still needed a reason to evade Zhuge Liang, otherwise, he would not be able to get away with it.But as soon as this reason was said, Zhuge Jin regretted it. This question should not be used as an excuse. With Zhuge Liang's intelligence, he will definitely see through him.

However, what Zhuge Jin didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang suddenly burst into laughter, patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Brother, don't worry, I promise to keep this matter a secret for you, and I will never Let my sister-in-law know."

Seeing that she had slipped through the test, Zhuge Jin let out a sigh of relief, and then smiled awkwardly at Zhuge Liang.

"Brother, I happen to be going to the morning court too, why don't we go together, don't waste time." Zhuge Liang said.

"it is good!"

Brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin walked side by side into the imperial city, and went straight to the Yan Palace for the morning court. Although Zhuge Liang talked and laughed with Zhuge Jin along the way, he had a lot of concerns about Zhuge Jin in his heart.Because Zhuge Liang saw through Zhuge Jin's lies. Zhuge Jin lied twice, which proved that he didn't want Zhuge Liang to know what he was doing.

Although the two brothers moved forward side by side, they had two thoughts in their hearts. Zhuge Jin was always glad that Zhuge Liang had almost spotted him, but he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had already seen through his lie, but he just didn't want to expose it.

Zhuge Liang guessed: "So many courtiers gathered in the residence of Minister Chen Qun at the same time, and they didn't return all night, there must be something wrong here?"

The morning court was held as usual, but this morning there was one more person than yesterday, and this person was Zhuge Liang, the prefect of Liaodong.

Zhuge Liang has been kept by Zhang Yan's side since the Southern Expedition, but he has not been given any position, nor has he been transferred. It was not until yesterday that Zhang Yan gave Zhuge Liang the title of Director of the Capital Relocation Office.

Zhang Yan did not delineate the power of the director of the capital relocation office, but only let this office be responsible for all the relocation of the capital.

But then I thought about it, Zhuge Liang was the only one in the office for moving the capital, and it was impossible to accomplish anything, so 3000 people were transferred from the Guards to Zhuge Liang's office for moving the capital.

At the same time, Zhang Yan asked all the ministers in the court to respond positively to all the actions of the relocation office. If there is a situation of resistance to the law and disrespect, regardless of their status, regardless of gender, they can all be beheaded for public display.

In addition, Zhang Yan transferred a group of capable civil servants to Zhuge Liang to help Zhuge Liang with his affairs.

That is to say, the office of moving the capital is an institution directly responsible to Zhang Yan, and everything can be handled specially. This undoubtedly announces an important message to the ministers. The move is inevitable, and no matter how long it is delayed, it will not escape. .

There were many issues in the early court, but no one spoke too much, because these were basically internally determined matters. Even if someone objected, as long as the internal review passed, then this issue would be passed, and then it would become an imperial decree and be released to the outside world.

Zhuge Liang stood aside, listening to Chao Shang's words quietly, but his mind was not here, but thinking about one thing, should he tell the regent Zhang Yan what he saw this morning?
