After the two separated, Lei Yuan came back from the side door of the mansion.
Chi Li Ningta half closed her eyes, showing a comfortable expression, and was still drowsy. The scone was bitten into several gaps and spread out on her chest, trembling with his huge snoring.
Li Zhen came with an umbrella, but Lei Yuan was not in a hurry to enter the door.
He stared at the carriage where Zhuge Liang and his son were riding slowly disappeared into the night and sighed.
"Sect Master, who is that? But what happened?" Li Zhen asked nervously. Peng Xiao spoke annoyed when he left, allowing him to understand the current situation briefly, which obviously brought some pressure.
"It's Zhuge Military Advisor." Lei Yuan said: "He advised me to follow Peng Zhizhong's advice and stay in Chengdu for the time being."
"How dare this village man do this!"
"He has his reason, don't talk nonsense in Han Zhang!" Lei Yuan scolded and slowed down his tone: "I have agreed."
"What?" Li Zhen was stunned. After a while, he carefully said: "Sect Master, is it Zhuge Liang..."
After thinking about it, he didn't know what to say. Li Zhenjiu followed Lei Yuan and knew that with his identity as the sect leader, even the King of Hanzhong himself would have to think about it again and again. It was not a result of the coercion and temptation of some other minister.
Perhaps the sect leader was blinded and lost his mind for a while? Li Zhen had an idea: "Sect leader, if he wanted to stay in Chengdu for a long time, would he summon Ma Changshi and Yan Zhizhong to accompany him? If there is anything, can he discuss it even if he is urgent?"
“No need.”
Lei Yuan took the umbrella from Li Zhen and went to the yard.
It has been six years since he succeeded to the leader of the Lei clan in Lujiang. Lei Yuan has gained more and more power. He has surrounded him and helped him handle official duties. At first it was Zhou Hu, later it was Xin Bin, and later there were Jiang Wan, Xiang Lang, Guo Fu and others. In recent years, they relied on Ma Zhong and Yan Pu.
But no matter who it is, they are just staff members, not masters.
Although the contemporary style of worship is a magnanimous corporal and a kind person, Lei Yuan never needs anyone to give him any advice.
On the one hand, because he is more and more like a warrior who has a knife in the world, he believes in perseverance, courage, and tenacity, and he believes that the blood rushing on the battlefield is more than the pen and mouth.
On the other hand, he was full of vigilance about everything he had passed through in this world. To a certain extent, he was a little afraid of intimate communication with his staff, afraid that they would figure out their own ideas, guess their own ideas, and even hijack their own ideas. By then, the success of things was due to someone's plan, and Lei Yuan had to bear the consequences of failure... This is a routine of choosing between the king and the minister. Many scholars in contemporary times have this, and Lei Yuan had already understood it.
Lei Yuan didn't like that, so he always insisted on his own and took control of the power himself. Even though Ma Zhong and Yan Pu often made suggestions, they still focused on their subordinates who were executing.
Unfortunately, Li Zhen didn't understand yet, so he actually wanted Ma Zhong and Yan Pu to give advice to the sect leader and turn the situation around.
"Hanzhang, do you know what I talked about with Kong Ming?"
"I don't know."
"Almost nothing was said." Lei Yuan shook his head: "Kong Ming told me a lot of things, but I can be sure that he hadn't said anything. Those things that were not said are the most critical. So, we almost didn't talk about anything."
Li Zhen was a little confused: "But, Sect Master, didn't you agree to him?"
"These are two different things..." Lei Yuan stopped and slightly sorted out his thoughts.
Zhuge Liang is very good at touching people's hearts, and Lei Yuan had no intention of fighting with him, so the conversation between the two just now was very smooth. During the conversation, the two confirmed that the goals were consistent, reiterated their mutual trust again, and also made a vague agreement on mutual support in both military and political circles. This also made Lei Yuan very satisfied.
But Lei Yuan kept thinking on the way back, why was Zhuge Liang like this?
Just for Kou Feng, Peng Yi and others?
Since ancient times, there have been hills where there are people. The system of King Hanzhong cannot be iron-clad. Even if an old hill is suppressed, a new hill will soon appear. Zhuge Liang shouldn't have minded this. What's more, in order to suppress Kou Feng, Peng and others were risking the risk of being shaken in Jingzhou's defense?
This is a bit strange.
If you think about it carefully, there are some strange things.
Although Lei Yuan was always guarding against the Eastern Wu, he had personally experienced the battle formations and witnessed how large the elite troops of the Cao family were, how considerable the combat power, and even the strength of the Cao family. Therefore, if Lei Yuan was in charge, he would have leaked the news to Jiangdong and Liangzhou at the beginning of the rumor that Cao Cao was seriously ill, and tried his best to urge Sun Quan and Ma Chao to send troops to test, and he was behind him and became the oriole behind the mantis.
But when he participated in the central military discussion that day, he found that all the Dukes had no intention. Instead, Peng Yi pointed out the country and thought of sending troops immediately to seize profits before Sun Quan and Ma Chao. No matter what, the Cao family dominated the eight states, and even if Cao Cao died of illness, his strength was still there. Peng Yi regarded it as a fat meat that could be slaughtered, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others did not refute it.
Why is this?
Compared with the central circle, Lei Yuan was an outsider after all, and he could not see any clues. But he was sure that Zhuge Liang must have his reason, but he was unwilling to say it, and it was hidden deeply.
At this time, there was a crackling sound behind him, because the other entourage wanted to close the door, but no one could wake up by the door frame. Wang Ping was too lazy to touch his mouth, and he slapped him up a few times, which made him wake up.
Chi Li Ningta's physique was here. After slapping a few times, her face was not red, and she just shook her head in a daze. Then Wang Ping shouted: "It's closed, you go back to the house to sleep!"
Chi Li Ningta raised his hands and saw that his beloved scone was still in his hands, so he went to his room with satisfaction.
Everyone laughed.
"Everyone, let's rest." Lei Yuan said to Li Zhen: "Some things don't have to worry about us."
At the same time, Zhuge Liang took Zhuge Qiao's hand and got off the cart.
Zhuge Qiao followed Zhuge Liang and returned to his polite attitude, as if he was not the one who cheered and fished just now.
"Father, I remember you said that in modern times, the favor of the government is better than that of the three generations, and the violent and cruelty of the powerful Qin Dynasty. The decline of the Han Dynasty also declined due to the power of the court and the authority of the court was robbed by the powerful. The renewed general is the so-called powerful, why did my father be so kind to him?"
"It's different." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "General Xuzhi's identity as a powerful man is because the Lujiang Lei family, who was born in, is a powerful man. General Xuzhi used the Lujiang Lei family as a tool to gather troops and fought thousands of miles to eliminate evil and rebellion. Although he had his position, he was undoubtedly an indispensable arm of the King of Hanzhong. Alas, in fact, the one who intends to rob the power of the Lord of the Lord is not a powerful and first-class person, but..."
“But what?”
Zhuge Liang had a very worried look on his eyebrows. But he had no intention of complaining in front of the children, let alone Zhuge Qiao was too early to come into contact with these things. He quickly changed the topic: "Aqiao, can we put the fish you caught in the fish tank? You can see them every day from now on."
"Okay, OK."
After walking a few steps, Ma Liang flashed out from the corridor, holding a few volumes of documents and bowing slightly.
Zhuge Liang quipped and asked, "Where did the trouble come from?"
He then turned to Zhuge Qiao and showed an apology expression.
