The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

"Oweng, go and beat the Dragon King's drum."

Owen looked at Jinli, tears fell uncontrollably, she picked up the drumstick: "Will she come back?"

"No."

"However, don't we Sanmiao people say that the souls come and go, and they need the guidance of drums. As long as there are drums, the dead will eventually come back?"

"But she doesn't belong here, just like fish don't belong to the sky, and birds don't belong to the earth."

Go, go beat the dragon king's drum and see her off.

Some people are lucky enough to meet once in a lifetime.

Jiang Wei led the whole army to wear filial piety and returned. Liu Chan led all the civil and military officials to welcome him in person, weeping bitterly.

In front of the army are two poles of white cloth several feet long, with heavy ink stains on them:

There are only two of the five elders, and now you are going again

If you meet three friends in Jiuquan, if you say I will come

"Who wrote this?" Liu Chan asked with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty Qizuo is an old friend of Mr.

Jiang Wei replied.

It cannot be said that it was sent by Sima Yi.

On the night of Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu army withdrew according to the prescribed rhythm. Sima Yi led the army in pursuit very interestingly. Jiang Wei led an army to stop the pursuers: "Mr. Here is a small number of troops. There is only one sentence: Wei Zhu never believed in General Sima, and now Ji Han has no husband, if the army conquers Chengdu, General Sima will be useless in the future, what will he do with himself?"

Master Sima listened, nodded silently, and looked at his father, but Sima Yi smiled reassuringly: "Zhuge is a genius in the world, but Jiang Wei, you are not. Such knowledge can be called a top student taught by Zhuge, but it is only a top student." I don’t have to flatten Chengdu, and someone will do it myself. So I didn’t come here to pursue, I came to pay tribute to Wangyou.”

Sima Yi ordered someone to take a thick stack of white cloth: "I promised her decades ago, if the last of the five of us is left, I will use this to save it--I really used it today, and it can be regarded as the Shu Brocade Cloth." robe in return."

Before Sima Yi left, he finally asked Jiang Wei: "Even I know that Wei Yan is going to die. There is no reason for your husband not to know. As the few remaining Shu Han generals who are accustomed to fighting, why didn't your husband make preparations earlier?"

Jiang Wei thought about this question seriously, because Wei Yan died at the hands of Yang Yi.What Sima Yi can know, there is no reason for the omniscient and omnipotent Mr. Jiang Wei not to know, knowing it but not stopping it, why?

Jiang Wei can only come to the conclusion that Zhuge Liang did it on purpose, in other words, Wei Yan deserves to die.

Wei Yan was at odds with Yang Yi and many ministers, and he took credit for himself, and despised important officials several times. Although he respected Zhuge Liang very much, his loyalty to Liu Chan must be questioned.So, is there such a possibility: Zhuge Liang had to reluctantly get rid of Wei Yan for the stability of the country in the future.

Jiang Wei was quite satisfied with his interpretation, and "political infighting and attrition for national stability is an acceptable means" has been deeply implanted in his heart since then.In the 16th year of Jihan Yanxi, that is, ten years later, Fei Yi, who opposed the Northern Expedition, was assassinated by Wei Jiang general Guo Xun at a banquet. Jiang Weishi was present, but he did not take any action from beginning to end.

Fei Yi's death has since become a mystery, lost in the mist of history.

When Zhuge Liang passed away, Sichuan was shaken. Yizhou, Hanzhong, and southern counties all sent people to express their condolences. Meng Huo in the south also dressed in hemp and mourning, and rushed to Chengdu to cry.In the past, in the middle of Shu, where "the day when the soldiers sent out, the world shook, but the people were not worried", now it finally shakes.

This vibration is also reflected in a series of chain reactions.

After Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan and Yang Yi's conflicts were made public. Both of them made a statement to Liu Chan in advance, accusing the other party of "rebellion".This makes people a little dazed: the young monarch who was underestimated behind Zhuge Liang's halo in the past turned out to be a seasoned political master.Then, when news of Wei Yan's death came, Liu Chan immediately declared Wei Yan a "rebel".

Yang Yi triumphantly returned to Chengdu, but Liu Chan had already appointed Jiang Wan Shang Shuling to replace Zhuge Liang. Yang Yi was expelled from Chengdu, and later because of his bad words, he was sent to prison for questioning like Peng Yi back then. In the case of Yi above, he had no hope of living, and he finally chose to commit suicide.

He was accompanied by Li Yan, who vomited blood on the day he learned of Zhuge Liang's death. He told his son Li Feng: "The reason why I am still alive is because I believe what the prime minister said. One day she will still use me. Now that she is gone, this hope is shattered, so what is the point of me insisting on living?" Soon, Li Yan died in depression.

This kind of personnel earthquake lasted for a year or two before subsiding slowly, but the pain brought to people can no longer be healed, just like a piece of flesh that has been gouged out, no bleeding, it can be said to be cured, but a piece has been removed Where the meat is, it will always be a hole.

Zhuge Liang was buried in Dingjun Mountain, but the coffin did not return to Chengdu, and the funeral became a big problem.

However, this is only a headache for the people of Chengdu. For the people near Dingjun Mountain, it may not be a bad thing, at least it is much more convenient for them to sacrifice.Anyway, Sima Yi strictly ordered the Wei army not to come and do damage, so people near Dingjun Mountain spontaneously built tombs and ancestral halls, and incense was constantly burning all the year round.

This is a small place, far away from the hustle and bustle of Chengdu, and it seems to have a hidden world.

Many mourners flocked to Chengdu, even Sun Quan sent someone to pay tribute, and Meng Huo was also among the mourners, watching Zhuge Liang's youngest daughter Zhuge Guo and heir Zhuge Zhan crying before the coffin until he fainted, what was going on in his heart A taste.

Jiang Wei was busy thinking about the mysterious "Wolong Village" Sanmiao people who benefited the most from Zhuge Liang, but for some reason they didn't show up.

Maybe it's really heartbreaking.

Of course Jiang Wei didn't know that as soon as the tomb in Dingjun Mountain was repaired, a man and a woman went to pay their respects wearing conical hats, and this trip was not yet their final goal.

"Oweng, have you remembered what I told you?"

"Well, Son of God, don't worry!"

It was simple and straightforward for Zhuge Liang to choose Dingjun Mountain as his resting place, but regarding her status behind her, Chengdu had an uproar.

The posthumous name is easy to say, "Zhongwu", no one has any objections.

Uh... Several years later, Sima Shi passed by with his hand raised.

In addition, Fei Yi and others went to the Shu and proposed to build the Taimiao for Zhuge Liang.

Fuck what kind of treatment is the Taimiao, is that everyone can enjoy it!So it is no wonder that Qiao Zhou stood up and cursed at the first time: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao, there is no one who is not Liu but not king. Today's prime minister is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so how can he enjoy the honor of the Taimiao!"

But after Qiao Zhou finished scolding, looking back, he didn't even have a pig teammate who came out to support him, and everyone felt at ease to see Qiao Zhou's performance alone.

The reason why Qiao Zhou was isolated is simple: "You say you can't build the Taimiao, then you can come up with a solution. Oh, it is worthy of Emperor Zhaolie's Taimiao. The problem is that there are too many ministers who deserve to share the Taimiao. The one who can match Zhuge Liang's status and merit is one None. We should distinguish merits and demerits from rewards and punishments, right?"

Liu Chan looked at the debate between the two factions under the ranks, and it was still the style of the Wei Yan Yang Yi incident: no statement.

"The matter of building a temple is not feasible for the time being, and the matter of sharing the Taimiao is also temporarily postponed."

Liu Chan flicked his sleeves and went back to the harem, leaving the ministers in place.

"Your Majesty... are you angry?" Someone asked Jiang Wan who had been silent all this time.

"Yes." Jiang Wan's style is also very bright.

"Is it for building a temple or for sharing?"

"Neither." Because these two things are related to Zhuge Liang, and Liu Chan will not be angry with his father.

"Your Majesty is angry that none of you can share his worries."

Speak for him what he wants to say but is hard to say.

The matter of Taimiao was left behind.People in Chengdu and Jihan quit.Four Seasons Sacrifice cannot be delayed, why are only the people in Dingjun Mountain so lucky!

However, such things as sacrifices should not be sloppy, and the environment and atmosphere should be paid attention to.In the past, ministers were entitled to enjoy the Taimiao, and relatives, friends and even ordinary people could go to the Taimiao to worship, as did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Why did I get to Zhuge Liang's place and got stuck!

It’s cold food again during the Qingming Festival. People who are thinking about offering incense and food have not waited for the final conclusion in the court. It’s really frustrating that they can’t make a grave with offerings. In the eyes of her eyes: She was dressed in plain clothes, picked a clean and tidy place on the side of the road, laid out the rice paste, spread out the incense candles, and finally, solemnly placed a tablet that said "The Spirit Tablet of the First Prime Minister Zhuge Liang", and bowed down.

Some people looked curiously, some sighed, and some kindly came up to persuade: "Young master, you are a private sacrifice, which is an adulterous sacrifice, and it is not in accordance with the etiquette system. Besides, your tablet is not written correctly."

The woman finished worshiping undisturbed, then got up, and saluted the person who advised her: "You know what you know. However, offering sacrifices from the heart is better than not offering sacrifices; the ritual system is important, and it is appropriate to obey the laws of nature. The prime minister has worked hard for the country all his life. Since there is no conclusion in the temple, the rivers and lakes cannot be without public discussion. If there is a spirit in the sky, please forgive me for my lack of etiquette and pity my sincerity."

Sometimes, there is just a fuse missing.

There is more than one person planning a private sacrifice, but most of them are hesitant to wait and see. At this time, someone bravely stood up and did what everyone wanted to do but did not dare to do, and found a high-sounding reason for this behavior. What are the consequences?

Historical records: "When Liang died at the beginning, each place sought to build a temple, but the imperial court refused to listen to the order of etiquette, so the people made private sacrifices on Daomo because of the season."

When Qiao Zhou heard about this kind of thing, he was so angry that his beard trembled. He once again severely criticized this kind of behavior and asked all localities to issue guidelines.

However, Qiao Zhou was disappointed. Similar activities were repeatedly banned in various places. The top leaders complained that they did not blame the public, so Qiao Zhou called a meeting to discuss countermeasures, but everyone handed in a note asking for leave. Qiao Zhou then asked what these people were busy with, and replied that it was another holiday, and they were all busy going back to worship Prime Minister Zhuge.

Qiao Zhou, who was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke, played a book in the court hall, asking Liu Chan to issue an edict to stop this behavior.

But Qiao Zhou wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, why did Liu Chan seem to be having fun.

Ma Dai, Jiang Wei and others made a statement: In the current situation, it is unrealistic not to build a temple for the prime minister. Your Majesty, please follow the good example.

Liu Chan didn't agree, but at least he didn't object.

"What do you think about building a temple in Chengdu?"

With a bang, the watch in Qiao Zhou's hand fell to the ground, and he seemed to faint.

It is unprecedented to build a temple. The only one who can build a temple in Chengdu is the late emperor Liu Bei!Well, Your Majesty, you can build a temple for Zhuge Liang in Chengdu, if you are not afraid that later generations will call you "Zhuge Chan"!

Liu Chan still didn't want to change his name. There was no room for discussion on this kind of issue, so of course he immediately rejected it.

Lieutenant Xi Long and Zhong Shulang Xiangchong, the captains of the infantry, then went to the court very considerately, scolding how absurd this proposal was. Qiao Zhou felt much more at ease, and he forgot to think about the fact that this issue was just brought up today. Yes, why did Xi Long Xiangchong prepare such a fluent written rebuttal in advance.

So when Xi Long turned to Chong, Qiao Zhou didn't react.

"Having said that, depending on the situation, this temple must be erected, and the etiquette system must be broken. It doesn't matter if you want to open something, anyway, the etiquette system is a ball. Back then, the prime minister presided over the grand tour for the late emperor, and even the Queen's work It’s all done, and no one said anything wrong. Since you don’t want to build a temple in Chengdu, it doesn’t matter, just build a temple in Mianyang.”

Immediately, Liu Chan wrote Zhu Zhu's comment: Zhuge Liang Temple was established in Mianyang

The smoothness makes people suspect that this is a double spring.

In short, before Qiao Zhou expressed his opinion, the matter was over.

"This is not right, this is not right!" Qiao Zhou shouted to vent his dissatisfaction as everyone scattered and walked out.

"It's not right." Jiang Wei walked up from the side and took a look at him, "When the capital is back in Luoyang, the soldiers and civilians are recuperating, and the treasury has money, I'll build a few more for you sir."

"Owen, continue."

"Yes, Son of God."

Regarding the establishment of the Zhuge Liang Temple, some officials in charge suggested to Liu Chan that the Taimiao of the late emperor in Chengdu is also old, so let's repair it.

Liu Chan Zhao Zhun.

The people's husbands were conscripted, and wood and stone were collected for repair.

At this time, the magistrates found that it was difficult to manage the unruly people, and if they could avoid the corvee, they would avoid them, either because they had old injuries or chronic diseases. In a word, they were not very motivated.

When the magistrate was in such a headache, someone came to offer advice, claiming that the task could be easily completed.

Of course the magistrate didn't believe it. What kind of abilities can a woman wearing a cone hat have?But corvée has always been pressed for time, so he had to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The women walked around the streets, and in less than a day, they recruited a large number of happy and strong laborers, and many volunteered to sign up.The magistrate was very curious: "What's the secret?"

The woman smiled, and whispered, "You only remember one thing, just tell them to build a temple for Prime Minister Zhuge, don't say anything else."

This trick was really effective, even the people who went to the mountain to collect wood and stone brought out the best materials, there was no perfunctory, people asked each other, it was rumored that it was for Zhuge Prime Minister to build a temple, everyone believed it.

When the corvée departed for Chengdu, his family sent him off on his way, as if building the Zhuge Temple was a matter of supreme honor.

When they arrived in Chengdu, the handover of personnel was completed and the work began. The officials who supervised the work did not know the basics.The folks were puzzled at first, and they recommended a representative to ask. After getting a definite answer, the anger of being cheated made all the folks go on strike: I quit!

The supervisor was shocked and said angrily: "This is to build the tomb for the late emperor. If there is any mistake, it will be a death penalty!"

"Then we don't care! When we came, we said that we were building ancestral temples for the prime minister, so we came here! The family happily sent them to the road, and repeatedly told them to repair them well. We must be worthy of the prime minister. In the future, when we grow old, we will tell our children and grandchildren about this experience. Brilliance! Here I suddenly changed my mind again, what did I say to the late emperor, who was the late emperor? I don’t know him, I don’t cultivate, I can’t afford to lose this person! My family asked me when I got home, I’m ashamed to say it!”

These words were quite treasonous, the overseer wanted to use his whip, and was afraid that there would be too many wives, so in the clamor, someone had already invited Jiang Wan.

"Why did Shang Shuling come?"

"Didn't you send me to come?" Jiang Wan looked at the scene, frowned, and after asking the whole story, he also sighed, "The first emperor and the prime minister have a deep friendship, as the first emperor is also the prime minister. Everyone Repairing the mausoleum and temple for the late emperor means doing work for the prime minister."

The peasants were not so easy to be fooled at this time. They didn't believe what Jiang Wan said, and they still clamored not to start work. In the confusion, someone suddenly said loudly: "This place is just building a temple for the prime minister, why doubt it?"

Everyone saw a woman wearing a conical hat standing in the crowd at some time, and someone recognized her as the person who lobbied them at the beginning, and they were quite angry: "It was you who said that the temple was built for the prime minister, so we came here, and only after we came did we know that it was for the late emperor." Xiu, this is the Ancestral Temple of the First Emperor. Your lies have been exposed long ago, and you are still lying to others at this time?"

The woman calmly said, "Why did you ever lie to anyone? This is the former Emperor's Ancestral Temple, and the rear is the place where the Prime Minister built the temple. If you don't start construction, what should you do if you delay the next sacrifice? The Shangshuling is here, how dare I dare to speak up?" Deceitful words?"

These words reminded the peasants, and they all gathered around Jiang Wan to ask if this was the case.

Looking at the situation, Jiang Wan could only nod with a wry smile. The peasants cheered and dispersed, each took their work and went to work. The woman with the cone hat walked up to Jiang Wan and bowed down: "Shang Shu ordered forgiveness."

"If there is no word from the young lady, it will not be possible to repair here. Anyway, if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. I will report to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty will definitely not blame you, Shang Shu makes you rest assured."

"I know, but I'm afraid someone..."

"Regarding this point, Shang Shuling also please rest assured that this person will be convinced."

The Zhuge Liang Temple near the Emperor Zhaolie Temple in Chengdu was built illegally.This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and Qiao Zhou knew it right away, and he played a book non-stop, with only one core idea: it is not in accordance with the etiquette system.

Liu Chan then asked him what should he do?

"Tear it down!"

Liu Chan directly threw him a stack of playlists for him to read.

Qiao Zhou opened it inexplicably, and it was full of reports on the crowds going to Zhuge Liang Temple.

"The Temple of the First Emperor is deserted all year round. The temple in Mianyang broke through the threshold as soon as it was erected. Although the temple here in Chengdu is fake, people became lively within a few days when they heard that they were going to build a temple for the prime minister. If it is true At this time, the decree was demolished, did Yun Nan want to see the prime minister's temple burning incense all year round, and compare it with the Xiandi's temple, which is lonely and desolate all year round?"

Liu Chan's tone was not very good, and Qiao Zhou fell silent.

"So, what I mean is, it's better to go with the flow and admit the prime minister's temple. Those who worship the prime minister will naturally have to sacrifice to the late emperor, and the scene will be more beautiful."

"It's up to Your Majesty." If Qiao Zhou still can't see the inside story at this time, he really shouldn't mess around. In fact, Liu Chan has been waiting for this moment, right?

Liu Chan immediately issued a decree: "Decree, in the future, the former emperor of the Taimiao Temple and the former Zhongwuhou will be worshiped together, and there will be no distinction between monarchs and ministers."

On the first sacrificial day after the Taimiao in Chengdu was completed, Liu Chan led civil and military officials to sue the temple with an eunuch, offering sacrifices to Zhaolie first and Marquis Wu later.

"Father, I can only do this."

The folks who built the Tai Temple were sent home, and their burdens were all ready. Only one person suddenly remembered something: "What is the name of this place we built! They said it was the Temple of the First Emperor, but the family said it was the Temple of the Prime Minister. After we go back, if someone asks us, what should we say?"

Everyone woke up like a dream and began to discuss.

"Wuhou Temple."

It was that familiar voice again, and the woman in the cone hat appeared again.

"Are you sure?"

"determine."

"Ah, right, the prime minister was originally 'Wuxianghou', and later called 'Zhongwuhou', you see, only the characters 'Wu' and 'Hou' have not been changed, so it is Wuhou Temple." Someone suddenly realized .

The naming problem was solved, and everyone rejoiced and packed their bags, with their heads held high, full of the glory of Homecoming.

The woman wearing the cone hat disappeared from everyone's sight, and she happily ran to a man with a gentle smile and a decent demeanor: "Son of God, I have done it!"

Jin Li smiled and stroked her head: "Well done, Ou Weng, from today onwards, there will only be one name here, which is Wuhou Temple."

The author has something to say:

Brother Jiang Wei's limitations are reflected: in fact, Zhuge Liang didn't want Wei Yan to die, so he emphasized not to let Yang Yi join the army. In the end, Yang Yi killed Wei Yan. There was no way that everyone died and couldn’t manage so many behind-the-scenes affairs. Sima Yi also told Sima Zhao not to marry Jia Chong’s daughter, and the result was... Forget it, no spoilers, about This point will be explained later in detail why Sima Zhao did not listen.

Sima Shi's posthumous title "Zhongwu"...

Who knows how to write the tablet of the leader... Anyway, the author didn't know, so he wrote it randomly, and then told everyone, "It's wrong to write like this".

This section tends to think that Liu Chan respected Zhuge Liang very much, and single-handedly contributed to the reality of "the emperor and his ministers sacrificed together", while Jiang Wan knew Liu Chan's thoughts very well.Also, the illegal construction of the Taimiao is unreliable, that is, it is written like this in the novel, so don't take it seriously.

Well, what's more, the author can't tell the difference between mausoleums, temples, and ancestral halls. Sorry for any confusion.
