[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

Zhugezheng took the memorial of Zhuge Anren when I returned, which was the last effort made by Zhuge Anren.But feelings need to be cultivated, and trust is also a kind of feeling.The young emperor already had someone he could entrust to the government, and he didn't expect him to assist his brother like he did back then.

To make matters worse, this letter fell into the hands of Cai Jing, who was of course dissatisfied.Political discord is enough to make people angry, not to mention that Zhuge An has a special status. As the God of War in the Song Dynasty, he has too much influence.People in Zhuge'an opposed it, and the New Deal could not be implemented smoothly.Since Wang Anshi in the political arena of the Song Dynasty, every prime minister seems to have mentioned the word "New Deal" when he came to power. The politics of the past and the present have been similar, and they have changed the soup without changing the medicine. I don't know where they come from so many innovations.

Cai Jing's method is also very simple. He just said in front of the emperor that the Zhuge'an people and Chen Bing would not attack the border and wasted food and money.No matter how high Zhuge'an's prestige was among the courtiers and among the people, the emperor still made the decision.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth, Bianjing began to frequently issue edicts to the northern border, and the emperor asked them to take back Youzhou and destroy the Liao Kingdom within three years.

At first it was three years, then two years, and then urged the Zhuge'an people to send troops immediately.

The Zhuge'an people explained the battle situation carefully at first, but later found that the emperor didn't read what he said in his last memorial at all. The problems were still those problems, and the excuses for blame were not changed.Then another thing that provoked Zhuge'an's authority happened-Hua Shigang.

On this day, the people under Zhuge'an's rule stopped their horses in the street to ask for help, saying that they were going to be forced to death by the county magistrate.The people of Zhuge'an hurriedly asked someone to come in and answer. When the Yanyun sixteen states were conquered, the late emperor promised that he would govern here. It is all borne by the officials sent by the imperial court.

"The little old man really has no choice but to ask the general for help. The county magistrate pasted yellow paper on the strange stone in the little old second's house and made a royal mark, saying that the officials have taken a fancy to it and asked the little old man to pay tribute This stone, said to be a strange stone, is just a stone that stood there a long time ago. The stone is too big and heavy, and it is difficult to move when building a house, so it has been left behind. The little old man explained to the county magistrate , but the adults said that the official family has seen many rare treasures, so they want to see these simple and rustic ones. The little old man is also very honored, and the official family likes it, so he should offer it. The old and young children kowtow to this strange stone with three sticks of incense every day. They also need to scrub, oil and maintain it carefully. They say that the things that the officials like are stained with royal nobility, so that the little old family can serve the strange stone like they serve the officials. Otherwise, it will be a crime of disrespect, beheading and punishing the nine clans." Lao Zhang said with tears in his eyes, and cried: "Forget it, it's the honor of the little old man's family. But the county magistrate still gave up The money was sent to Bianjing...Master General, the little old man and his family have never been to Bianjing, why did they ever want to send a stone that can't be lifted to Bianjing! People with a little background in the village have to offer strange stones to the officials, and some offer other things, it's really hard..."

The blue veins on Zhuge An's forehead trembled, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Which county magistrate?"

"Master Zhang Xiu, magistrate of Huairen County." The old man trembled.

"Understood, this commander will take care of it, you go down and rest first." Zhuge'an asked the old man who blocked the way to go down, and smashed the table in front of him with a slap, "Too much bullying!"

"Don't be angry, Commander. This little old man is so weird. He ran into you just like that, and he was talking about the most sensitive issue. There are too many people in your position, so it's hard to guarantee that someone will make trouble." Lou Ji clasped his fists and said.

"I know!" How could he not know the things that even Lou Ji could see? He was angry that the emperor broke his promise and promised well before the first emperor's sick bed, but turned around and turned his face ruthlessly!

"The best way is that things are true, and people are true, but there are people behind the scenes, maybe even the old man himself doesn't know that there is no descendant. Punish the officials for hurting the prestige of the court, and punish the old man for losing popular support. No matter how you choose, you will be in a dilemma. , it's so wonderful." Gu Xichao said with a smile.

"Find out the matter before we talk about it." Zhuge Anren frowned, but he knew that Gu Xichao's words were more likely.

"If it is found out that the matter is as the subordinate said, what is the general's plan?" Gu Xichao asked again, "The court has long criticized us for not attacking, and now it is a ready-made excuse."

"Let's think about it again, the family is big and the business is big, so we can't let it go." Zhuge'an sighed.

When Cheng Huayu came back, the discussion had just finished, and she also heard the retelling from the young general in charge of confidentiality, and asked Zhuge Anren, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes." Zhuge'an asked calmly, "Have the people you invited to the North for the essay meeting finished?"

"No, why, you have to use literati."

"Yes, Hua Shi Gang has arrived in the northern border. If this problem is brought about, there will be endless problems in the future. You are familiar with history books, and you only know the dangers of Shi Gang and Birth Gang." Zhuge'an sighed.

"Isn't it useful to use the bookmark?"

Zhuge Anren shook his head and smiled wryly, this was the first time he couldn't do anything about the emperor.His relationship with the emperor has always been very good. Even when things are not going well, he can grasp the emperor's pulse and follow his way of thinking to guide him to make decisions that are beneficial to him.But now the emperor is surrounded by Cai Jing. Cai Jing is a rare talent in the ages. He is more slippery than himself in playing tricks and politics. Zhuge'an people can't skip him and directly contact the emperor.

"Can I ask uncle for help?"

"My elder brother is a typical warrior thinking. He is the chief coach of the 80 Imperial Army in name, but in fact he is the head of the police. If the emperor doesn't listen to him, what can he do? Besides, I don't want to pull him in. What I have to do in the future , I don’t know how difficult it is.”

"What should I do?" Cheng Huayu asked.

"Write articles to spread the world, compose new plays and let troupes perform in the north and south of the river, always let the emperor's way of birth and birthday, and the dangers of flowers and stones, you taught me."

Cheng Huayu shook his head and sighed, "Don't forget, you are not Yan Ge old now." You don't have that much right to let the whole world listen to you.If this is done, the literati will be imprisoned, the troupe will be disbanded directly, and the lives of those low-level actors will be in danger.Cheng Huayu found that Zhuge Anren was extremely anxious these days, always having the urge to destroy everything violently.

"Sometimes I really think—the opposite!" Zhuge Anren roared in a low voice, and Cheng Huayu quickly covered his mouth. Although this is not their dynasty anymore, the teachings of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are always engraved in people's bones.

"What rebellion? Do we have the strength? What about the people under our rule? What about our children?" Cheng Huayu asked in a tearful voice.

"We have another child?" Zhuge An said excitedly. He has no heirs in this era, so even if he rebelled, no one would follow him.

"The days are too shallow, but I know." Cheng Huayu clutched his still-pregnant stomach, and said softly, "Be patient, okay? Our plan is about to come true. The Wanyan tribe has established the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Liao Under the attack of the two phases, it will soon be unable to support. We can immediately use the results to explain to the officials that it is right not to abolish one soldier and one soldier to destroy the Liao Kingdom. It was right not to send troops before. Wait a minute, now the surrounding countries are staring at each other , we are about to face troubled times, and the Han people are the ones who suffer the most. We are too ill-prepared, so bear with it..."

"I'm afraid I can't help it. After all the hardships, this history still hasn't changed!" Zhuge An said violently.

"There have been changes, there have been changes. You took back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and aroused the courage of the young people. When foreign enemies invade in the future, more bloody people will come forward. They know that the Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, The cavalry of countries like Xixia are not invincible. Changes have existed for a long time, this is the painful period you mentioned, as long as we get through it, the road will be smooth..." Cheng Huayu comforted him softly, lying on his back.In this world, only Cheng Huayu understands his pain and understands his anxiety.

Zhuge'an swallowed his heart and said something that no ghost could fool, "Perhaps after finding out that there is no such thing at all?"

There is no need to have such illusions, Cai Jing, a master of fighting, has already acted first.Su Mengzhen's Golden Wind and Rain Tower sent news to Zhuge'an people that Cai Jing had persuaded the officials to find Zhuge'an people to go to Beijing to continue to serve as a privy envoy, and the Zhenbei Army was handed over to the generals selected by the Privy Council.

The Privy Council of the Song Dynasty has always been a civil servant, except for Zhuge Anren, who is an alternative.One general is incompetent, and thousands of soldiers are exhausted. These soldiers trained by themselves, Zhuge'an people are really willing to give up.

The sender was Wang Xiaoshi, and he knew what was in his heart, so he jumped anxiously, "Brother An, what should we do!"

"What else can we do? Soldiers come and cover the water with soil!" Zhuge'an drew his sword and inserted it into the loess, and ordered someone to chop off the head of Zhang Xiu, the magistrate of Huairen County, and send it to Bianjing. A memorial was attached with the head, explaining What crime did Zhang Xiu commit, and reminded the officials that he was the one who brought down the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the late emperor promised that he had the final say here!

This is almost equivalent to declaring war, is this really good?When the Zhuge'an people made a decision, everyone was in a hurry, but when the order was issued, everyone wanted to chase the sender back. After this, there was no turning back.

The Zhuge'an people not only killed Zhang Xiu, but also exchanged blood among the civil officials in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, pulling out all the sand and nails. For so many years, he didn't just watch.

As expected, the official Longyan was furious, and ordered Zhuge'an to return to Bianjing to defend himself, and his tone was already very tough.Zhuge Anren was still just returning the memorial, ignoring the increasingly ugly expression of Xuan Zhi's father-in-law.

It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the anti-flag was raised, and the generals were still anxious until the news came from the backyard that Cheng Huayu was pregnant and had been diagnosed as a boy.There are successors in the career, and the talents who follow are not so precarious.

"Thanks for your hard work. Those articles and theater troupe should be released as planned. It seems that a big battle will soon be triggered." Zhuge Anren stroked Cheng Huayu's belly, not only wondering whether he was right at this time.
