The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 537
Pan Jun suddenly heard the maid said that the old lady wanted him to go to the living room to meet guests right now, so he couldn't help being a little stunned.His mother should have no relatives in Jiangling City, not to mention that the flood in Jiangling City has just receded, and it is impossible for anyone to come from her hometown. How could she meet any guests in the living room?

His heart moved, and he asked: "Who does the old lady want me to go out to meet?"

The servant girl replied: "It's the eldest son of the King of Hanzhong, and his attendant who prepared the old lady's birthday banquet is also here."

This maidservant was only serving Mrs. Pan, so it was impossible to know what happened to Pan Jun recently, so she just spoke out without any restraint.

Pan Jun didn't do much either, he just let out an oh.He really didn't expect that the eldest son Liu Chan was still in his own home, but his expression was very calm, and he couldn't tell that he was quarreling with the eldest son at all.

The maid was used to Pan Jun always looking serious, so after she finished speaking, she opened her small eyes and blinked at Pan Jun, waiting for Pan Jun's reply.

Pan Jun thought for a while and said, "You go back and tell my mother first, and I will go there right away."

The servant girl saw that Pan Jun's attitude seemed very gentle today, so she smiled, turned around and left immediately.

Pan Jun turned around and walked back to his desk, but there was a seal spread out on it. Judging from the handwriting, it was still fresh and shiny. Obviously, the ink was not dry and it was newly written.But looking at the beginning of the watch, it was actually written to Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong. I don’t know what it said in it. Maybe he really wanted to write to Chengdu directly, and clarify the matter of Guan Xing.

Pan Jun picked up the seal and blew at the words on it, hoping that they would dry up quickly.Not a moment later, Pan Jun put the seal together and put it in the sleeve pocket of his robe.

Only then did Pan Jun walk out of his study, closed the door, and walked to the living room at home.

After Pan Jun came to the living room, he saw Shizi and Zhuge Qiao chatting happily with his old mother.After he coughed lightly, he went in to greet his mother.

Then, his complexion changed, and he bowed to Liu Chan who was bowing down.This set of ceremonies for monarchs and ministers must be done after all, otherwise he would really be wasting his studies on the way of sages and sages.

Seeing that Pan Jun came out, Liu Chan was obviously quite happy in his heart, so he also saluted Pan Jun.

When Mrs. Pan saw her son coming out, she said, "Chengming, you are not a young man anymore, how can you still act so capriciously? Now that your son is here, you should talk well."

Mrs. Pan is obviously not a vulgar person, she knows that Pan Jun is a smart person, and he can understand many things just by his mother.What's more, Pan Jun has always been a dutiful son, so he can listen to her advice.

So, when Mrs. Pan said this, she felt that it was time to go away.She invited the prince to have dinner at their house tonight, and she will go back to rest now.

Liu Chan and others sent the old lady out of the hall together, and just came back and sat down again.

Pan Jun's current expression actually looked a little embarrassed. After all, the crown prince has chased him to his home now, so it's okay for him as a minister not to be embarrassed.

Pan Jun coughed lightly, and asked, "Your Majesty and Young Master Zhuge came to my house, what advice do you have?"

Seeing that Pan Jun is in good health now, Liu Chan can no longer say that he is here to see a doctor, that would really be a step down for Pan Jun.

He had an idea and said: "Because I was too hasty when I left Jiangling City, I couldn't personally prepare a birthday banquet for Mrs. Pan, so I came here today to express my apologies to her old lady."

Pan Junming knew that Shizi's intention was not here, but he still let out a sigh, feeling a little impressed by Shizi's adaptability.Said: "That's how it is."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "I haven't seen you, Pan Zhizhong, for the past two days. I'm really happy to see you again. I wonder what Pan Zhizhong has been up to lately?"

Pan Jun forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Qiao, and said to Pan Jun, "Yes, my son has been very troubled recently."

Pan Jun wondered: "Why are you troubled?"

Liu Chan talked about how to rebuild Jiangling City after the disaster, and finally asked: "Pan Zhizhong, you have been an official in Jingzhou for many years, and you know the situation here best. Is there any way?"

Pan Jun thought for a while, and it seems that the son should be like what General Yu said before, because he was too young and lacked experience, so he didn't know how much harm a flood would do to Nanjun.

He sighed, and took out the watch letter addressed to the King of Hanzhong from his sleeve pocket.Zhuge Qiao got up immediately to take it, and handed it to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan opened it and saw that it was actually a letter to Chengdu.He secretly said something bad, it seems that this Pan Jun is really going to cling to Guan Xing's plan of flooding.

But Liu Chan didn't show it immediately, but continued to watch.What surprised him was that this was not a petition to impeach Guan Xing at all, but a petition to ask for help from Chengdu to support the reconstruction of Jingzhou!Not only did this form not sue Liu Chan for supporting Guan Xing in destroying people's livelihood, but it also hinted at praise.

Liu Chan couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked at Pan Jun in surprise.He and others always thought that Pan Jun was angry with himself, so they always wanted to report Guan Xing to Chengdu.But judging from this seal now, it seems that this is not the case!

Liu Chan had no choice but to ask straight to the point: "Pan Zhizhong, I thought you were angry with me at first, so I avoided seeing you, but now after reading this seal, why do I feel otherwise?"

Pan Jun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I was very angry at what you did before. But I figured it out afterward. Now that you have done what you have done, now is not the time for me, as a subject, to be angry. It is the right way to find a way to save the people as soon as possible!"

As soon as Pan Jun said this, Liu Chan couldn't help being moved, and said, "It turns out that Pan Zhizhong was writing these at home these two days!"

Pan Jun nodded and said, "Exactly. Actually, besides asking for help from Chengdu, I have another suggestion, which I haven't written yet."

Then, Pan Jun told Liu Chan that many of the victims in Nanjun this year, and even the counties and counties in southern Jingzhou that will be recovered in the future, have escaped after more than half a year of war. I am afraid that they will all be hungry this year. .What's more, a large number of residents have fled to other places now, and most of the fields have been abandoned.

So Pan Jun suggested that now that the war is over, there are so many troops in Jingzhou, and they can't just sit and eat for nothing.It is entirely possible for them to cultivate those abandoned lands.

Pan Jun's suggestion is very bold, because he is not suggesting that the army should garrison the fields, but directly cultivate the farmers' fields!
