Chapter 656 Give the sword to Zhuge Liang, kill first and then play!
Lu Xuan picked up the wine bottle and saluted, and said: "Kong Ming, you have been in charge of Nanjing for more than a year and have done a good job. You must continue to do so. It is great to be able to do things pragmatically and benefit the country during your term of office. I hope that
You, never forget your original intention."
Zhuge Liang respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, I will remind you. I will keep it in mind."
Lu Xuan nodded, chatting and drinking with Zhuge Liang. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Kong Ming, your sister has also arrived in Nanjing. When you have free time, go to the palace to meet her and walk around more.
"
Zhuge Liang said: "Yes!"
Lu Xuan turned his eyes, looked at the attendants on the side, and ordered: "Go and get my sword."
The attendant went to get the sword.
Lu Xuan took the sword, handed it out and said: "Kong Ming, I give this sword to you. I hope that you can be like this sword and be invincible and become a magical weapon for our country of Wu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Zhuge Liang stood up first to thank him, and then took the sword respectfully.
Lu Xuan's sword, even if it is an ordinary sword, becomes different as long as it comes into contact with Lu Xuan.
This is endowed with divine properties.
Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Xuan hosted a banquet for him to support him. Unexpectedly, he also gave him a sword, which made Zhuge Liang more excited than ever before. He even felt that the king treated him like a national warrior.
This is a unique treatment.
Lu Xuan and Zhuge Liang drank a few more glasses of wine. After the banquet was over, Lu Xuan left.
Zhuge Liang walked out of the hall, stood outside the hall, looked at the stars in the sky after dark, and suddenly laughed.
All this is so good.
Zhuge Liang left the imperial city and went straight back to Zhuge's home.
As soon as he arrived home, Zhuge Xuan also came back and asked: "Kong Ming, what did the king call you to do? Is it because of the old man Zhang Zhao that the king is dissatisfied with you?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Uncle, if you care, you will be in trouble. The king is supporting me."
"ah!"
Zhuge Xuan was surprised.
Did Lu Xuan support Zhuge Liang?
When Zhuge Xuan was confused, he suddenly saw the sword in Zhuge Liang's hand and asked in surprise: "What are you doing with a sword?"
Zhuge Liang said: "The king asked me to come to the palace to have a meal together. At the banquet, the king gave me this sword and told me to be like this sword, which can be used in all directions."
hiss!
Zhuge Xuan took a breath.
He was extremely shocked.
Zhuge Xuan looked at his nephew and said with emotion: "Kong Ming, the king treats you really differently."
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain."
Zhu Ge
"I didn't expect that at this sensitive time, the king would let you have dinner with me alone, and even give you a sword."
"Zhang Zhao is in trouble this time."
"Let him be careful."
"Your Majesty's approach is really a relief. Your Majesty is truly a wise master, wise and powerful."
Zhuge Xuan thought about the fact that Zhuge Liang was given the sword by Lu Xuan, and he couldn't hide his excitement. He wanted to go to the staff department immediately and accidentally talk about Zhuge Liang's meal.
Zhuge Liang took the sword to the Zhuge family's ancestral hall and enshrined the sword given by Lu Xuan.
Then, he turned around and left the ancestral hall.
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Xuan and said: "Uncle, your Majesty has treated me as a nobleman of the country, and I will repay him as a nobleman of the country. Let's forget about the rest. I am still the magistrate of Nanjing, so I just have to do my duty."
Zhuge Xuandao: "You are right."
At this time, Zhuge Jin also came back. When he saw Zhuge Liang, he smiled and said: "Second brother, the fact that the king asked you to accompany me to dinner and gave you a sword at the banquet has already spread in the official circles. What a good boy, you are worthy of being
I am Zhuge Jin’s Qilin’er.”
Zhuge Liang said: "Brother, I have given you a reward. I did not expect that the king would arrange it like this."
Zhuge Jin said solemnly: "Logically speaking, I was promoted by Zhang Shangshu, so I should thank him. But this time, he deliberately went to the county government office to apologize and took the opportunity to beat you, which made people feel uncomfortable.
.”
"If he really wants to apologize, he can visit him in private, or notify Zhang Cheng to apologize. There is no need to appear in person. He has to apologize in a big way, which is really disrespectful and has bad intentions."
"This time he expressed his stance when he met the king. He encountered a hard rock again."
Zhuge Jin had gratitude in his eyes and said, "Fortunately, the king is sensible and stands on the side of my second brother."
Zhuge Liang said: "Let's ignore Zhang Shangshu's affairs and work hard."
Zhuge Jin said: "Second brother said it well."
Zhuge Xuan nodded, and Lao Huai said with great comfort: "You two brothers are the pride of my Zhuge family."
The whole family was enjoying themselves together. While the Zhuge family was rejoicing, Zhang Zhao, who had returned home, was reading in his study. What he was reading was not the art of war, but the history of the Han Dynasty.
This is Zhang Zhao's preference.
He likes to read history.
While Zhang Zhao was studying, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. The new housekeeper entered, bowed and said: "Master, there is a news from the palace, and it has something to do with Zhuge Liang."
Zhang Zhao was still reading, and asked in a leisurely manner: "What's the news?"
The steward quickly said: "The king hosted a banquet in the palace and asked Zhuge Liang to accompany him to the meal. He also gave Zhuge Liang a sword during the banquet and told Zhuge Liang to be like a sword, which can be used to defeat all enemies."
boom!
The book in Zhang Zhao's hand fell on the desk.
There was shock on his face, and he was even more surprised. He had never expected that Lu Xuan would ask Zhuge Liang to prepare a meal at this juncture, and even give him a sword. This was clearly to support Zhuge Liang.
"well……"
Zhang Zhao sighed.
Although Zhuge Liang notified Zhang Cheng, Zhuge Liang captured Zhang Xi and used the Zhang family to establish his power and further defeat the high-ranking officials and nobles gathered in Nanjing. Zhang Zhao had no choice but to admit it.
After all, my son is stupid, no one else is to blame.
However, Zhang Zhao had some intention of beating up Zhuge Liang, so he went to the county government office to apologize in person, showing his law-abiding attitude and letting people see that he was a polite and virtuous corporal as the Minister of Civil Affairs.
In fact, it was to praise and kill Zhuge Liang.
If you, Zhuge Liang, don't even give face to the Minister of Civil Affairs and don't communicate with you, people in the officialdom will look at Zhuge Liang in a strange way.
This is the situation Zhuge Liang faced.
all is well.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan suddenly launched an attack. He could imagine that after the news of Lu Xuan giving the sword came out, public opinion would change. People outside would no longer think that Zhuge Liang had a problem, and would all agree with Zhuge Liang and even show goodwill to Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Zhao smiled helplessly.
After all, Zhuge Liang is Lu Xuan's favorite disciple, and he is worthy of being a graduate of the Five Classics Hall. He even underestimated Zhuge Liang's status in Lu Xuan's heart.
He also underestimated Lu Xuan's bad taste.
The housekeeper looked at Zhang Zhao's appearance and was heartbroken and said: "Master, what the king did is really unfair."
Zhang Zhao glared at the butler and said in a deep voice: "When the king does something, is it our turn to comment? You say fairness, but there is nothing truly fair in the world."
The housekeeper said: "But, but..."
Zhang Zhao stopped him and said: "There is nothing, the thunder and rain are all your kindness. Your Majesty thinks that I am bullying the younger ones, so I personally came forward. This time, I underestimated Zhuge Liang's status in Your Majesty's heart. Prepare the carriage and I will go into the palace.
See the king and apologize to the king."
"ah!"
The housekeeper exclaimed in surprise.
The housekeeper was even more angry and asked: "Master, that's not the case. Do you still want to plead guilty?"
Zhang Zhao scolded: "Too much nonsense."
"Here!"
The housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare. Zhang Zhao changed his clothes and took a carriage towards the palace.
