When Zhuge Liang took the document and walked quickly to the entrance of the Jiaofang Hall, Liu Xie was talking while Empress Fu Shou was smiling and full of warmth.
Fu Shou is in a good mood.
She was six months pregnant, with the careful care of the imperial physician, and the company of Xun Wenqian, a person who has been here, she was in very good condition.
Especially when my parents came to Chang'an, Fu Wan served as a sacrificial wine in the Imperial Academy, and taught the family traditions. My mother was fine for the time being, and she went to the palace to accompany her every three or five times. Her brothers and sisters had good arrangements.
She was having a comfortable life.
What satisfied her the most was naturally that no matter how busy the emperor was, he often took time to come to the Jiaofang Hall. Even if he left after saying a few words, he would not show up for a few days.
Under the demonstration of the emperor, no one dared to neglect her. As long as she was in the palace, she would come to greet her every day and talk to her, and get along well.
The only regret is that Hua Tuo predicted the failure last time, and now he dare not easily say whether it is a man or a woman.
Although he didn't say it, Fu Shou still hoped to have a son.
First of all, the emperor is about to reach twenty years old and should have an heir.
Secondly, after Ma Yunlu entered the palace, he might become pregnant at any time. Ma Yunlu is different from Xun Wenqian. She has the Liangzhou army behind her. If she was the queen and could not give birth to a legitimate son, Ma Yunlu had a son, it would be difficult for Liangzhou people to be unable to protect her.
Have an idea.
Finally, there is another problem. Dong Wan and Song Du are also at the age of being able to give birth and will soon return to Chang'an, and her competitors suddenly become more and more.
As long as she can give birth to the emperor's legitimate son, all these worries will be gone.
To some extent, let Qiao Rui's two daughters enter the Jiaofang Hall to be maids.
Although the emperor refused to accept them into the palace, he still liked them.
As for men, how many people can reject the national beauty?
"Your Majesty, there is business again, don't accompany me." Seeing Zhuge Liang, Fu Shou took the initiative to say, "The snacks will be ready later, I'll have someone to send them."
Liu Xie smiled and agreed, got up and left the seat.
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang stopped at the door.
He and Fu Shou are both from Langya. Many people have said that his trust from the emperor is related to the queen, so they usually pay special attention to keeping distance. If the situation was not for the special situation today, he would not even go to the Jiaofang Hall.
"What's the matter?" Liu Xie stepped out of the hall and asked softly.
"The situation in Jizhou and Xuzhou has changed and there are some connections."
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Xie did not say anything. He walked to Qingliang Hall, entered the seat, expanded the map and looked at it for a while before chuckling.
"These people are really aggressive. When no one fights, they will fight with themselves."
Seeing that Liu Xie looked dissatisfied, Zhuge Liang reminded: "Your Majesty, according to Xuzhou's progress, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter Liaodong this year."
Liu Xie glanced at Zhuge Liang. "Can Liaodong still fly?"
"That won't be." Zhuge Liang also smiled.
"Since you can't fly, what's there to worry about? A year earlier or a year later, there's no difference." Liu Xie leaned on his back and supported his forehead with his hands. "I hope to be slower and walk too much
It's not necessarily a good thing."
Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little helpless.
He followed Liu Xie every day, and naturally knew that Liu Xie's biggest dissatisfaction with the current situation was that Yuan Shao retreated too quickly. If he could fight for a few more years, it might not be so difficult to travel to the field.
The situation in Xuzhou and Jizhou is exactly what Liu Xie wants.
But the problem is that Langya is his hometown, and Liu Bei is now stationed in Yangdu. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yangdu was hit by disaster. After a few more years, Yang would be damaged.
"Worry about his hometown?" Liu Xie did not hear Zhuge Liang's response, and glanced at him. Seeing his worried expression, he immediately understood the reason.
Zhuge Liang was stunned and then said, "Yes."
"Then you can't be anxious." Liu Xie smiled. "If nothing unexpected happens, the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Xi is no longer on the battlefield, but on the hearts of the people. Who will your relatives and friends support?"
Zhuge Liang blurted out without hesitation. "My brother is with Liu Envoy, so his clan members naturally support Liu Envoy."
"I hope so." Liu Xie smiled and did not continue the topic.
He knew that Zhuge Jin was under Liu Bei's command, but Zhuge Jin was not Liu Bei's direct subordinate, but Chen Deng's. It is hard to say whether it was intentional or coincidental.
He would rather believe that it is the same voice and the same spirit and seeking each other.
Some things have inertia and cannot be changed just by wanting to change them.
The Xuzhou scholars and officials were taking sides intentionally or unintentionally, and the majority of people who truly supported Liu Bei, or the court were not supported.
In fact, this is not only in Xuzhou, but also in Shandong.
After Zhou Zhong became Sikong, his first decision was to eliminate Zhang Zhao as an official and be the chief minister of Sikong.
Liu Xie did not think that Zhang Zhao was competent for the Chief Sikong, but he did not veto it. This was the measure between the monarch and the ministers. Zhou Zhong proposed that as long as it was not too much, he would not veto it. In the end, Zhou Zhong naturally knew what to do.
He had a more suitable candidate for Sikong Changshi than Zhang Zhao, but he didn't say it.
"What are Yu Jijiu busy with these two days? I haven't seen him for a few days."
"Several craftsmen at the Hemu Academy are studying trench machines."
"Takes?"
"He went to see the catapult last time and said it was too simple and had a lot of room for optimization, so he took the initiative to take on this matter. He has been experimenting these two days, and it seems that the calculated results are somewhat wrong with the actual results.
There is no reason yet."
Liu Xie's eyes flashed slightly, and there was something indescribable in his heart.
Sure enough, war is the primary driving force of science and technology?
"I will have to give a lecture on the Taixue Theory in a few months. Isn't he going to participate?"
Zhuge Liang held back his laughter. "He said he had nothing to say to those people."
"You feel so?"
"I am not as confident as Mr. Yu." Zhuge Liang shook his head repeatedly. "I don't have enough understanding. It's not easy to draw one by one. If you draw one by one, you can only use such a genius."
"It's your mind that is not in that aspect." Liu Xie directly pointed out Zhuge Liang's modesty.
In terms of IQ, Zhuge Liang is not weaker than Yu Fan, or even less than anyone in this era. His problem is perfectionism. No matter what, he or she will either not do it or do it to the extreme.
In fact, his personality is most suitable for academics or technology, but he is not suitable for politics.
Perfectionists cannot be the leader in politics, otherwise they will only exhaust themselves to death.
But the problem is that Zhuge Liang's biggest interest is in politics.
This is the responsibility of Confucian scholars and officials. If you are good at studying, you will be a good official, and if you are successful, you will be able to help the world.
Therefore, while Liu Xie trained Zhuge Liang, he also had to find Zhuge Liang's successor. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuge Liang will definitely die in front of him and it is impossible for him to accompany him to the end.
But he couldn't find such a person for a while.
Jiang Wei definitely can't do it.
Fortunately, there is no need to hurry up this matter, and it will be fine if you wait for another twenty years.
"Your Majesty is too much, I dare not take it. What I am saying is the truth, and his understanding is indeed very good for people. I forgive you for not referring to the metaphor, perhaps only Your Majesty can compete with you."
Zhuge Liang paused and said, "This is not what I think alone, and everyone else thinks so."
Liu Xie was helpless. "I am just an ordinary person, and I can make mistakes and have times that I can't do. Don't force me to be a saint. If you say too much, it will not be a blessing for the country."
