Zhuge Ke quickly sent his son Zhuge Song to follow the secret envoy Zhang Jin to Wei.
At the beginning of March, the two arrived in Luoyang. Zhuge Song went to visit his uncle Zhuge Dan, while Zhang Jin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report to Zhu Deng, and then met Qin Liang. The next day, Zhuge Gong rested (Zhuge Dan) and met Zhuge Song.
Along the way, we arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Zhuge Gongxiu would often visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, Qin Liang still believed that the way to deal with Xia Houxuan did more good than harm. Xia Houxuan was not only famous, but also held a high position for a long time and had a high status. Of course, it was harmful; but to
Xia Houxuan was reasonable and merciful, which could at least win over Zhuge Gongxiu and others and make them feel more secure. After all, Gongxiu and Xia Houxuan had a deep friendship. In addition, Gongxiu chose the wrong position when he was the king of Qin.
Qin Liang preserved the marriage relationship between the Zhuge family and the Wang family, and Gong Xiu later expressed his support for Qin Liang.
Qin Liang laid a banquet on the second floor of the attic and received two people from the Zhuge family. In addition, Wu Xin, Ma Mao and Zhu Deng were present. Yinci was still in the school affairs office and did not participate.
There is usually no activity upstairs, so it is relatively quiet. However, there is no furniture or anything, and it still looks very empty, as if there are only a few large pillars in the huge hall.
A few banquets.
I saw that Zhuge Song was fatter; Gongxiu was white and had a wide body and a fat body, but Zhuge Song was tall and fat. After the ceremony, Zhuge Song first talked about what Master Sima had done, which had nothing to do with his father Zhuge Ke.
, the accusations made by King Jin in the letter were completely misunderstood!
In fact, Qin Liang had already judged that Zhuge Ke might not use messengers. However, Zhuge Ke was so nervous that he sent his own son. This was the effect Qin Liang hoped to achieve.
Gongxiu also said: "I had a long discussion with Zijing last night. Sima Shi fled to Soochow after the Shu Han Dynasty destroyed the country. He first defected to Shi Bao, because Shi Bao was a traitor general who surrendered to Wu State. Yuan Dynasty
Only then did Xun (Zhuge Ke) take in Master Sima. I thought what Zijing said might be true."
Qin Liang pretended to be angry and frowned: "If Master Sima knew about it but did not report it and made his own decisions, why would Zhuge Yuanxun protect him?"
Zhuge Song was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ma Mao, cupped his hands and said: "Wu and Wei are enemies of each other, and it is not uncommon for them to send each other to conduct detailed operations. Master Sima claimed that he contacted Mrs. Bai and others just to inquire about news about Wei."
Ma Mao looked at Zhuge Song with a complicated expression, but said nothing.
Qin Liang got up from the banquet and wanted to stretch his legs. Zhuge Song was suddenly stunned, turned to look at Gong Xiu, then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Perhaps the king got some confession from the spies, but Sima Shi did not tell him
My father."
"When Gu and Yuan Xun faced off against the enemy on the battlefield, they were just doing their respective duties." Qin Liang didn't want to argue about the matter, so he simply put forward a condition, "Send Sima Division to Jiangbei, and Gu will no longer care about Yuan Xun.
.”
Zhuge Song's voice became softer and he said carefully: "As the king said, my father and the king each have their own masters. The servant came to pay homage today because my father did not want to misunderstand and suffered injustice for nothing, so there was no need to betray Sima.
Master and self-certification?"
Qin Liang listened carefully to Zhuge Song's tone and said: "Master Sima is a person who has taken refuge with Jiang Wei, and his trip to Soochow is just for refuge. Zhuge Yuanxun has no kindness to him, so how can he talk about betrayal? Besides, your father stayed here.
With this person by my side, I won't
what is the benefit."
Zhuge Song muttered: "My father does not do anything unjust, but I also ask the king to abide by the righteousness and do not take advantage of our country's mourning to raise troops."
Qin Liang was slightly startled at this moment, thinking that before he asked people to dump sawdust into the river, Zhuge Ke must have really misjudged the situation! Zhuge Ke's concern leads to chaos, so fear can't solve any problem!
Qin Liang didn't want to rush to defeat Wu. After all, the internal affairs of Wei State were more critical at this time! Using a non-existent thing as a bargaining chip, how could Qin Liang disagree with this deal?
But he didn't want to reveal his intentions in front of Zhuge Ke's son. Moreover, if he agreed too readily, it might make the other party confused and show lack of sincerity; because there is no reliable way to guarantee this kind of secret agreement without raising troops.
.
Qin Liang walked back and forth for a few steps, pretended to hesitate for a while, and said, "Add Shibao."
Zhuge Song immediately showed an expression of embarrassment: "Shi Bao is a general of the Wu State. If he has any quarrel with my father, it would be better to kill him directly. But Shi Bao benefited from my father, and everyone knows that there is no grudge. It would be even more unfair to hand it over to the Wei State like this."
???????????????appropriate.”
Shi Bao also lost his wealth and honor because of the Yangzhou uprising, but his hatred for Qin Liang was obviously not as much as that of Master Sima. Qin Liang thought for a while and said: "There is a man named Cai Hong next to Master Sima, and we cannot let him go."
Zhuge Song was silent for a while, his fleshy face unable to hide the look of hard thinking.
Gong Xiu's voice advised: "Master Sima will do whatever it takes to get revenge! Naturally, the king is not willing to keep this person, so he is willing to make a major promise. The king always keeps his word, so Zijing can rest assured."
Zhuge Song finally nodded and said: "My father captured Sima Shi and Cai Hong and sent them back to Wei State. Sima Shi's plot has nothing to do with my father, and the king promised not to raise large-scale troops to attack Wu for three years."
The national mourning did not take three years, but Qin Liang was too lazy to care about these details. He immediately suppressed the joy in his heart and extended his right hand to Zhuge Song.
Zhuge Song hesitated for a moment in confusion. He saw Qin Liang's hand hanging in the middle, so he held Qin Liang's palm with both hands. Qin Liang shook his head up and down, looked into Zhuge Song's eyes, and said in a decisive tone: "Deal!
"
Everyone immediately agreed on the specific implementation method. Considering the location of crossing the river from Jianye, it was more convenient to make transfers on the Zhongdu River. In addition, in the past, people from Yinci had set up hidden strongholds on the Zhongdu River in order to support Ma Mao.
By the time he handed over the goods, he had entered a stronghold controlled by the Wei people. At that time, it was no longer up to Zhuge Ke whether the Wei people would give him a written promise. There was no need to hand over the money and deliver the goods, so Qin Liang happily agreed and would give him the goods now.
Zhuge Ke wrote a letter and wrote down his promise not to attack Wu in a big way for three years.
After they had reached an agreement, they went down the stairs. Qin Liang personally sent Gong Xiu and Zhuge Song to the door of the west hall, and asked Zhu Deng to see them out.
Qin Liang stood on the platform and watched for a while, then turned and walked into the west hall. He finally couldn't help but smile, and even laughed "ha". Then he found that Ma Mao was still there, and he gradually stopped smiling.
.
No matter how much people in the city, it is difficult for them to turn themselves into a wooden person who does not show any emotions at all. Sometimes, Qin Liang will show his emotions if he is not careful. What's more, today's things are surprisingly smooth, Qin Liang also
I didn't expect that this would be possible
Capture Sima Shi!
Ma Mao bent down and bowed in obeisance, saying, "Please take your leave and go back to Chang Shi's Mansion first."
Qin Liang returned the courtesy. Looking at Ma Mao's back walking out of the west hall, Qin Liang noticed that today was a beautiful spring day.
He walked out of the west hall through the corridor on the north side and came to the platform behind the attic. He immediately felt the slanting light of spring and felt warm all over his body.
Master Sima may not know yet that Soochow can no longer protect him, and the two families have already agreed on a deal. Therefore, Master Sima chose to take the difficult road of Shu and join the Shu Han. It was indeed a wise move. Only Jiang Wei would not betray him;
Now that he is forced to go to Wu State, the current situation may happen sooner or later! This person who has been thinking about revenge all day long and wants to kill Qin Liang regardless of the cost can be eliminated in sight. Qin Liang is naturally in a good mood! He
I can't wait to see each other again, just waiting for the big day.
Qin Liang raised his head and glanced at the sun in the west. He didn't want to go back to the west hall to work anymore, and planned to go back to the inner house early. Just in time to tell Lingjun Xuanji what happened, so that they would also be happy.
He went straight down the steps behind the attic and walked north to enter the gatehouse of the inner house. The maid in the gatehouse bowed to him, and Qin Liang just nodded. Just now
Entering the inner house, he found that Lingjun and others were vaguely visible in the pavilion to the east of the high platform. Xuanji, the Fei family, and the Wu family were all there.
The peach trees near the pavilion were full of flower buds, and some peach blossoms were gradually blooming. They were probably admiring the peach blossoms. Your Majesty and others also noticed Qin Liang's figure. They stood up from the mat and waited there from a distance.
Seeing several stunning beauties living harmoniously in the house, Qin Liang felt a little strange for a while. But then he thought about it, from the number of people in Afang Palace in Qin Dynasty to Cao Pi in Wei and Cao Rui's harem, which one was not the top harem?
Ten thousand?
It's not that Qin Liang thinks that having only a few people in his harem is not enough. The huge harems of emperors are just the result of unrestrained instincts. Having so many women and not using them, or using them once and leaving them idle for decades, is still a problem.
How significant is it to spend a lot of money and food to support him? But it can also be seen that worshiping one person in the world is not just rhetoric! As long as the dynasty can still exist, the emperor's power and self-indulgence are almost unlimited.
As he walked, he took a deep breath and silently warned himself not to get lost! This is not easy, just like Cao Shuang, who once lived here, was just a general at the time, but he has lost his way; not only did he take in Cao Rui's concubines
, and also appointed Yin Mo to search for beautiful women all over the world.
Among the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms, in the warm air, the dappled sunlight shines through the treetops, like a halo flickering, which can indeed make people dizzy!
However, when Qin Liang saw the spring scenery, he thought of Yang Huiyu's mourning period. If Yang Huiyu only mourned for five months, it would have almost arrived. Qin Liang wanted to quickly bring Yang Huiyu into the Jin Palace, but he didn't just
For beauty.
Yang Hu has been Qin Liang's long history. He was still making suggestions for him during the funeral. He should be the one who supported him. But the marriage was a public statement. There were several married noble families behind the Yang family, and some
Qin Liang, a family friend, doesn’t want to worry so much for the time being. He can only be as prepared as possible so that he can be more confident when taking the final step.
