Chapter 809: Welcome the cold weather and the style of the First Emperor
When Zhuge Liang arrived outside the palace gate, it was already dark.
The palace door was locked after nightfall. With Zhuge Liang's current prestige in the government and the public, it was not difficult for him to open the locked palace door with just one word.
But Zhuge Liang always abided by his ministerial integrity. He first ordered people to report to Liu Chan, and then he waited respectfully outside the palace gate.
In fact, if it weren't for Mi Yang's incident, Zhuge Liang would not have chosen to go to the palace overnight to meet Liu Chan. After all, Liu Chan would have probably fallen asleep at this time.
But what Zhuge Liang didn't expect was that Liu Chan, who he thought had fallen asleep, was now very energetic.
The lights were brightly lit in Liu Chan's dormitory, and Liu Chan, accompanied by his chamberlain Huang Hao, was excitedly playing the game of pot throwing.
Liu Chan may still lack the ability to handle political affairs, but he is very good at all entertainment activities in the world.
Even though the candlelight in the hall was flickering at this moment, under Liu Chan's aim, the arrow in his hand still easily fell into the mouth of the pot a few feet away.
The arrow made a crisp sound when it entered the pot, which made Liu Chan smile with satisfaction on his face.
Liu Chan proudly said to Huang Hao on the side:
"Even the Great Sima can't compete with me in throwing pots!"
For Liu Chan, being able to surpass Mi Yang in some aspects is a lifelong pleasure.
Huang Hao, who was very observant, saw that Liu Chan was in a very good mood at the moment, so he naturally knew how to praise him.
"I think that not to mention the Grand Sima, I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who can throw pots better than Your Majesty."
Huang Hao's compliment made the smile on Liu Chan's face even brighter.
Just when Liu Chan was feeling satisfied, a chamberlain hurriedly came to the palace and reported to him that Zhuge Liang was waiting for the summons outside the palace gate.
After hearing the report from the chamberlain, the smile on Liu Chan's face disappeared instantly.
"My dear father, why do you ask to see me at starry night?"
Unexpected words blurted out from Liu Chan's mouth.
After the accident, Liu Chan immediately realized that something big must have happened.
So Liu Chan threw the other arrows in his hand to the ground and walked anxiously out of the palace.
As an emperor, Liu Chan's first reaction was to go to the palace gate in person to welcome Zhuge Liang in.
But after Liu Chan walked out of the hall, he felt that the weather outside was slightly cold, and he quickly ordered Huang Hao behind him anxiously:
"Get my fur coat quickly!"
...
Zhuge Liang did not wait long outside the palace gate.
Soon after, the palace door slowly opened in front of Zhuge Liang.
After the palace door opened, Zhuge Liang saw an eager figure running towards him.
Taking a closer look, who else could that person be if it wasn't Liu Chan?
Liu Chan quickly ran to Zhuge Liang holding a fur coat. Before Zhuge Liang could react, he put the fur coat in his hand on Zhuge Liang's body.
"It's late and cold at night, why did my father-in-law come here?"
After Liu Chan asked with concern, he turned to look at the Gongmen Colonel gathered behind him and scolded:
"How dare you stop my father-in-law?"
Since Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he has always shown a gentle face in both the government and the public.
This seemed to be the first time he got angry in front of everyone.
Even though Liu Chan is still childish, his fierce and fierce appearance is still quite intimidating.
The captain of Gongmen looked aggrieved after being angrily reprimanded by Liu Chan, but he did not dare to argue.
In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who spoke up to excuse Gongmen Xiaowei.
After Zhuge Liang finished excusing himself, Liu Chan quickly welcomed Zhuge Liang to his dormitory.
Because he left in a hurry, the throwing pots in the palace had not yet been removed, so Zhuge Liang saw Liu Chan's "evidence of staying up late" as soon as he entered the palace.
When Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang's eyes on the throwing pot, he felt guilty and quickly explained:
"I, I have finished my homework for today..."
Liu Chan's tone was both guilty and anxious.
Since Qin Shihuang, he is probably the only one who can describe my self-proclaimed supremacy as stuttering.
After listening to Liu Chan's explanation, Zhuge Liang looked away from the throwing pot.
Zhuge Liang discovered that there was a note on the surface of the tou pot with the word "Reverse Wei" written on it.
This made Zhuge Liang feel a little funny.
His Majesty should still be concerned about state affairs...
But Zhuge Liang doesn't pay attention to this right now.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, signaling the other people to leave first.
After everyone else left, Zhuge Liang took out the memorial from his arms and gave it to Liu Chan for reading.
Liu Chan immediately took the memorial and read it carefully.
After Liu Chan read the contents of the memorial, the anxious look on his face disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Liu Chan said in surprise:
"Am I going to rule the world?"
Liu Chan really didn't expect that he would only succeed to the throne for a year. During this year, he would either study or play in the palace.
Is this enough to rule the world?
Liu Chan began to sigh silently in his heart for the three emperors Qin Shihuang, Taizu and Shizu.
They are both emperors, but why are their lives so different?
Liu Chan really didn't realize how tired they were at the beginning.
Because happiness came so suddenly, Liu Chan suddenly had the idea of Versailles.
After Zhuge Liang heard Liu Chan's exclamation, he promptly interrupted Liu Chan's reverie:
"Your Majesty, please don't be too happy, everything is not settled yet."
Zhuge Liang's words indeed made the joy on Liu Chan's face dissipate a lot.
But what Liu Chan did next made Zhuge Liang a little stunned.
I saw Liu Chan running away as fast as an active rabbit, and a moment later Liu Chan appeared in front of Zhuge Liang again.
But at this moment, he was holding a wooden box in his hand.
Zhuge Liang recognized this wooden box, and what was placed in the wooden box was the Great Seal of the Han Dynasty.
Holding the wooden box in front of and behind Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan said to himself:
"I don't have any great ambitions, but I believe in my father-in-law and the Great Sima.
My father-in-law is here tonight, but is there any edict that I need to seal?
If there is anything that can be fetched quickly, I will build it earlier so as not to delay the great Sima's important work."
After saying these words, Liu Chan still felt that it was not enough.
He then quickly said: "The late emperor once told me when he was still alive that when encountering great changes, the master should not be stingy with rewards.
Today, when Grand Sima leads his army into Wu, there will be many people in Wu who are willing to surrender.
For those who surrender, there is no way to show kindness without reward.
And the Grand Sima was thousands of miles away, so it would be too troublesome to report every reward to the court.
So, shall I issue an edict to give Da Sima the right to award rewards on his own?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly.
If it were any other monarch or minister, the above words would have been misunderstood and considered to be fear and temptation towards the ministers.
But...
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Chan, who had clear innocence in his eyes. He really didn't know how to respond to Liu Chan for a moment.
In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only say to Liu Chan:
"Zi Sheng wanted to take advantage of Wu's defeat and at the same time lure the Wei army to attack.
If everything goes well, Luoyang can be restored.
But this strategy also has risks, so Your Majesty should think twice."
Zhuge Liang said this because he wanted to remind Liu Chan.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan automatically ignored Zhuge Liang's last words.
Liu Chanying raised his eyebrows and said bitterly:
"Our army wants to destroy Wu, but Wei Wei also wants to join in the fun?
Then fight!
If you fight against the enemy twice, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed!"
Liu Chan's words were loud and domineering, and he actually had a bit of the style of the First Emperor.
Zhuge Liang was stunned.
Is this a domineering spirit?
And Liu Chan dares to say this, he has his support.
He has a great talent!
Thinking of this, Liu Chan raised his head proudly.
It's just that it's inconvenient to hold the wooden box in your hands, otherwise Liu Chan would put his hands on his hips.
