Chapter 89 Do you know that I am of the Zhuge lineage and have a good family background?
The court meeting dispersed, and Sun Quan left Lu Su alone.
Sun Quan's expression returned to the original cold and venomous expression, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of Zijing?"
Lu Su raised his hand and said, "I don't know which one Wu Hou is talking about? Zhuge Ziyu and his son, or... the current situation in Soochow?"
Sun Quan muttered, "They are both, you can talk about them separately."
Lu Su showed some worry, "Just now, Marquis Wu led the donkey out, which was too much. If Zhuge Ke hadn't saved the siege, Zhuge Ziyu would have suffered great humiliation!"
"What's more, now, because of the Hefei bet, there has been a lot of rumors in the world. Some people even say that this is a game set up by Zhuge Ziyu and his younger brother Zhuge Liang... Although Su knew that Ziyu was not such a double-dealing person who wanted to show off to Qin Mu and Chu.
It is inevitable for people to suffer such a great shame and humiliation, and feel resentful... maybe, maybe... they will be disloyal to the lord!"
Before Lu Su could express all the worries in his heart, Sun Quan interrupted: "Don't worry about me, Zijing. Gu and Ziyu have made a life-and-death vow for many years. Ziyu will live up to Gu, and Yugu will not live up to Ziyu..."
He is a man who is not righteous and does not speak what is right. His kindness is as deep as flesh and blood, and he understands it deeply."
"When Kong Ming visited the Kingdom of Wu, I asked Tzuyu to keep him. Tzuyu said to me: 'My brother has followed others, and he has no intention of leaving. My brother will not stay, just like I will not leave.' These words
Others don't believe it, but I believe in him! No one can be friends with Gushen for as long as Tzuyu. This cannot be changed by a single 'humiliation'! Tzuyu will always be with me, life and death!"
At this point, Sun Quan paused, his tone became heavier, and he mused: "Zhang Liao was so powerful that he shocked Xiaoyaojin, and Gu's army of hundreds of thousands was frightened... In the entire Soochow, he was the only one who could bear the title of 'incompetent' for Gu.
, block those rumors!"
A "bang" punch.
As if he touched on a sore point, Sun Quan suddenly slapped the case.
The missing corner on the case is particularly clear.
Lu Su sighed for a while...
He said with emotion: "Admonish without violating, be upright without perseverance, order the public court, and forget the private position...Zhuge Ziyu can be like a famous scholar, but..."
As he praised Zhuge Jin, a "just" suddenly changed the conversation.
Sun Quan raised his eyes, "Zijing is worried about... Zhuge Yuanxun (Zhuge Ke), a young man who has not yet reached the peak of his career?"
"The beautiful jade in Lantian, add the word "donkey"..." Lu Su said with emotion: "In the whole Soochow, there are young people of his age? Who can be so wise? But...such talents are often too sharp, and it is inevitable that they will be wronged."
"Haha..." Sure enough, Sun Quan's eyes turned cold. He pondered for a moment before speaking: "Are you really wise?"
"What does Wu Hou mean?"
"This is Zhuge Jin...'s donkey!" Sun Quan put the emphasis on the word "his donkey" and said: "If I were Zhuge Ke, I would never add that touch!"
Speaking of which…
Sun Quan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Lu Su also shook his head slightly.
This kid is too sharp and doesn't know how to hide it...it's a disaster rather than a blessing!
…
…
By the river, the water was gurgling and the fallen trees were turning into the sun. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke, one big and one small, were holding fishing rods together and looking at the water dyed red by the setting sun.
Zhuge Jin had already taken off his official robe, and instead wore a short coat of coarse cloth that only a "white body" would wear, with his sleeves rolled up.
Zhuge Ke was a little careless...as if his mind was not on fishing at all.
Zhuge Jin was the first to speak, "Do you know why I brought you here to fish?"
Zhuge Ke said without hesitation, "All the sages in ancient times loved fishing. Why is Taigong Jiang still fishing when he is eighty years old? My father is taking me to admire the sages!"
"Haha..." Zhuge Jin laughed, but gradually, the laughter turned into a bitter smile.
"What's wrong with father?" Zhuge Ke noticed the change in Zhuge Jin's expression and asked quickly.
Zhuge Jin lamented: "Jiang Taigong went fishing to wait for King Wen of Zhou, but just now, my son lost his father, King Wen of Zhou!"
this…
Zhuge Ke retorted: "Although he obeyed the advice, he had no responsibility and used others to block him when things happened. What's the use? If King Wen of Zhou was like this, and Jiang Taigong was defeated like a mountain six times, wouldn't he be humiliated by King Wen of Zhou?
What about six times?”
Zhuge Jin smiled: "King Zhou Wen was angry and took out his anger on Jiang Ziya, but Jiang Ziya's son was not convinced and took out his anger on Jiang Ziya too!"
There are no taboos between this pair of Zhuge father and son...
Talk about whatever comes to mind.
You can talk about Taigong Jiang, King Wen of Zhou, you can be convinced, you can express your anger...you can talk about it all.
"My child is just standing in for my father, so I don't deserve it!" Zhuge Ke curled his lips and said, "How has my second uncle ever been wronged like this when I was with Uncle Liu Huang? When I go back later, I will kill the donkey and let's eat donkey meat tonight."
"That donkey, Wu Hou named it 'Zhuge Jin', how can he kill it just because he wants it?" Zhuge Jin said with emotion.
"After killing and eating, Jiang Dong's father will die. The surviving father will join me and join Uncle Liu Huang... Let Sun Quan regret it!"
Zhuge Ke is indeed talented, but talented people are often very conceited and have their own character.
He has been able to endure it until now, which is enough to give face to his father and to Sun Quan.
Zhuge Jin, on the other hand, became more and more sincere in his words, "When others praised me as a child, my son always said, 'You know the origin of my family's education, Zhuge Yishi'... But you also know, what is the origin of Zhuge Yishi? What is the origin of family education?"
this…
Zhuge Ke blinked his eyes and prepared himself for a long speech.
Zhuge Jin talked about it: "My Zhuge family has lived in Langya, Xuzhou for a long time. My ancestor Zhuge Feng was smart since he was a child. He read scriptures and history. He was hailed as a child prodigy like Qian. During the Yuan Dynasty, he became a lieutenant of Sili and a doctor of Guanglu.
But because of his upright character, he hated corrupt officials and sycophants to the core. Later, because of the impeachment of powerful officials, he was demoted to the rank of captain of the city gate. Soon he was dismissed from the official position and demoted to a commoner!"
"Then he gave birth to two sons... The eldest son is your grandfather Zhuge Gui, and the second son is Zhuge Xuan, the father of your brother Zhuge Dan... Among them, your grandfather became the Prime Minister of Taishan County, and later impeached a powerful official because of his upright temperament.
He was killed. When he died, your father and I were only thirteen years old, and your uncle Kong Ming was only eight years old..."
"As for my uncle Xuan, he served as a member of Yuan Shu's staff and was promoted to the governor of Yuzhang...but because he didn't know his master, after Yuan Shu became emperor and was overthrown, he was replaced by someone else from the imperial court. The Zhuge family has since declined."
Zhuge Jin was talking eloquently, but Zhuge Ke blinked, confused.
"Why did father say this?"
Zhuge Jin did not explain, but continued, "Haven't you discovered? From our ancestor Zhuge Feng to your grandfather Gui and grandfather Xuan, has my Zhuge clan ever risen? Has it ever prospered? This is because
What?"
"Because..." Zhuge Ke originally wanted to say that it was because his ancestors and grandfather were very upright and did not know the art of flattery.
But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, "My child knows, it's because my Zhuge family has never had a backer! Or maybe... Grandfather Xuan chose the wrong backer!"
"Good!" Zhuge Jin was pleased that his son could realize this. "It is because my Zhuge family has no backers and chose the wrong backers. This is why my Zhuge family has never been able to become a famous family in the world. For this and that, let alone Zhuge.
The veins stretch through the ages, and even surviving in troubled times is a luxury."
"It was precisely because my grandfather Xuan realized this that he specifically asked his father, your second uncle, your third uncle, your birth uncle... to briefly explain his feelings about this troubled world and the officialdom... In this troubled world,
If the Zhuge family wants to continue forever, it must find a backer, but there are conflicts in the world? Who can judge who will win in the end?"
"If he makes the wrong choice like Yuan Shu did, then the Zhuge family will fall into a situation that will never be restored... For this reason, if they are worried about making the wrong choice, they will simply spread out to find, divide and defect to these princes. As long as there is a backer in Zhuge's lineage
If you find the right one, you will be able to make great achievements with the support of the Zhuge family, and the Zhuge family will prosper forever!"
oh…
Hearing this, Zhuge Ke finally understood, "This is why my second uncle and third uncle defected to Uncle Liu Huang, and Uncle Dan served as an official under Cao Cao in the north, but my father was in Soochow...under the hands of Marquis Wu!"
"That's not all." Zhuge Jin continued: "Your eldest aunt is married to Kuai Qi, a prominent family in Xiangyang, and your second aunt is married to Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Xiangyang. It's also for the Zhuge family! Otherwise, you think your second uncle's name is 'Wolong'
Where did he come from? How could he worship Shui Jing as his master? How could he become Uncle Liu’s most trusted person when he first arrived!"
understood…
This time, Zhuge Ke understood everything.
It's because his vision has narrowed, his father's forbearance, his father's "philosophy", it's not that his father is not competitive, it's not that his father doesn't know that Cao Cao's side is more powerful, and Uncle Liu's side is more courteous to virtuous corporals...
Everything my father did was for the continuation of the Zhuge family. This was a situation set by the Zhuge family in troubled times.
——The so-called Zhuge lineage, the origin of family learning!
In Zhuge Ke's mouth, this was just a boastful statement.
But in the eyes of my father, three uncles, and two aunts, it is something that I have to fight for my whole life!
No wonder, at the time of Red Cliff, my second uncle would not go to Jiangdong, my father would not go to Liu Huangshu, and Uncle Dan would always be an official in the north.
No wonder, my father and second uncle each took charge of their own affairs and spared no effort...
What they did was not only to showcase their talents, but also for the prosperity of the Zhuge family!
Zhuge Ke sighed honestly.
Zhuge Jin stood up suddenly and cheered: "Quickly..."
It turned out that a fish was hooked, and it was Zhuge Ke's fishing rod. Zhuge Ke stood up and slid the rod, while Zhuge Jin encouraged him, "My son, don't let it get away."
Zhuge Ke lifted it hard, and a fish flew out in an arc and fell to the grass.
Zhuge Jin quickly held it down, smiling like an old father.
"Caught, my son caught it, I will solve it for my father... I will solve it for my father."
Zhuge Jin was quite excited.
Zhuge Ke smiled, realizing his father's painstaking efforts, and for the first time he personally felt everything the Zhuge tribe had done for the prosperity of the family. He suddenly felt a lot heavier.
only…
It seems that these still cannot influence his decision.
Zhuge Jin followed Zhuge Ke and laughed for a while, then his expression slowly dimmed. He turned to look at the river and fell into deep thought.
Zhuge Ke said understandingly: "The fish has been caught, and it seems that King Wen of Zhou won't take the bait anymore. Father, let's go home! The children are hungry!"
Zhuge Jin nodded, looked at the fish in the basket, pondered for a long time, and then said seriously.
"You caught this fish, and you have the final say on how to cook it!"
The implication is that Zhuge Jin made his position clear.
His generation is destined to strive for the prosperity of the Zhuge family in this corner of Soochow.
He will never abandon Soochow.
But when it comes to his son's generation, Zhuge Jin feels that he cannot be too selfish and that his son's path should be chosen by himself.
Zhuge Ke blinked his eyes, "I haven't thought about it yet, but... I feel that even if it's fishing, the leader of Soochow is definitely not the King Wen of Zhou that I want to wait for!"
As soon as this statement came out...
Zhuge Jin's expression dimmed slightly, but he still nodded.
Ke'er is so talented, he should choose his own future path!
In fact, Zhuge Jin had one more thing that he did not tell Zhuge Ke.
That is...for so many years, Huang Yueying has not done anything.
Kong Ming has mentioned several times that he longs to adopt a son from his elder brother...
Zhuge Jin originally planned to let his second son "Qiaoer" go.
but…
Now, he is willing to give this opportunity of choice to Keer!
Stay in Soochow…
Or go to Bashu, Ke'er, it's up to you!
(Ps: Historically, Zhuge Liang had no children in his early years. Zhuge Jin adopted his second son, Zhuge Qiao, to Zhuge Liang. Later, Zhuge Liang took a concubine and gave birth to his own son.)
…
…
The red sun is sinking little by little, and the vast land is about to fall into night.
When Guan Yu took Mi Fang and Ma Liang to the thief Cao's residence, they saw a basin of water.
...a basin of water, which is nothing, but it can’t hold up. There is a man standing upside down on the basin, with his feet in the air and his hands on the ground.
Several government officials poured water from the basin on his head.
This way, it's like washing his hair!
Of course, this is no ordinary hair wash.
This is - washing your hair upside down.
While washing, the man refused to admit defeat and said: "I am willing to admit defeat. I want to be like my father and he will do what he preaches. Wash, keep washing..."
Well…
Guan Xing?
Guan Yu heard Guan Xing's voice and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Inexplicably, he felt... At this time, Guan Yu actually felt a little embarrassed when he heard Guan Xing say, "I want to be a man who is as true to his word as his father."
This kid usually only focuses on practicing martial arts, so he is a bit dull, but he won't be...such a fool, right?
It’s so embarrassing to wash your hair while standing upside down!
Guan Lin and Guan Ping were also there... Guan Lin sat on the official chair, saying nothing, watching Guan Xing's performance with great interest.
Guan Ping stood at the door, covering his eyes and couldn't bear to look directly!
The entrance of Guan Yu, Mi Fang, and Ma Liang attracted Guan Ping's attention, and he immediately handed over his hand, "Father... military advisor, Mi Taishou..."
Guan Lin also noticed them and rolled his eyes.
What's going on today? What gust of wind blew this strange "combination" over?
It's recorded in history books, isn't it... that Guan Yu and Mi Fang had many disagreements?
Isn't this right?
Why are the two of them standing so close today? This distance... makes them look like close brothers.
No matter how you look at it, this combination is a bit weird, right?
"Yun Chang, this..."
Mi Fang couldn't help but ask. He was also a little confused. In the fourth prince's official office, the second prince was standing upside down while washing his hair. The eldest prince couldn't bear to look at him. What was going on?
"Ahem..." Guan Yu deliberately "coughed"...
The cough didn't matter. Guan Xing, who was washing his hair while standing upside down, trembled all over. He lost control of his balance and fell down, with his head falling into the basin.
The whole look is miserable!
"Dad... (Gudu Gudu) Dad... (Gudu)..." Guan Xing raised his face, but the water in his mouth couldn't help but spurt out, "Gudu,
The sound of "gurgle" is continuous.
At this moment, he looked like a frog spraying water.
