Eight hundred and seventieth chapters filial piety Zhuge
At this moment, Zhuge Liang actually wanted his stepmother to die!
When this thought flashed through his mind, Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that that woman was his mother. How could he wish her to die? This was too rebellious and unfilial.
Although the Song family is a stepmother, according to the etiquette and laws of this era, Zhuge Liang must treat the Song family with filial piety and support as he did his biological mother.
Zhuge Liang was loyal to Liu Bei, who promoted benevolence and righteousness. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he should lead by example. But now he hopes that his mother will die soon. This kind of thinking is simply worse than a beast.
"I do not hope that my mother will die, I just hope that my mother can bravely sacrifice herself for the overall interests of the country. This is my loyalty to the country, which should be higher than my personal filial piety."
In his heart, Zhuge Liang began to make excuses and comfort himself.
"Yes, my mother believes in Buddhism. Buddhism emphasizes sacrificing children to achieve the greater self. If my mother commits suicide, she is following her belief. She will be able to reach the bliss of the West in the future. This should be a kind of relief for her.
It is a great blessing.”
After several ideological struggles, Zhuge Liang gradually left behind the burden of self-blame.
In his heart, Zhuge Liang began to pray that his stepmother would sacrifice her life to fulfill her personal beliefs and fulfill his reputation.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly came over and said, "Prime Minister, a Chu State envoy came from the south gate of Julu. He claimed that he was ordered by the Dowager to deliver a letter from home to the Prime Minister."
Envoy from Chu State? Madam? Letter from home?
Zhuge Liang's expression changed, his thoughts were racing, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"This is probably because Yan Thief forced my mother to write a letter, hoping to recruit me to Yecheng. Yan Thief must have wanted to use this to force me into a dilemma. This must be the case."
Zhuge Liang quickly guessed the Chu envoy's intention, and was immediately surprised.
"Quick, go to the Chu envoy and bring him directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't let outsiders know that he is here to deliver a message to the Prime Minister." Zhuge Liang ordered hurriedly.
Zhuge Liang thought that as long as this matter was not publicized, the world would not know that his stepmother had sent him a letter. Even if Yan Liang had a conspiracy, he would not be able to find it.
Unexpectedly, the servant said with a bitter face: "When the envoy from Chu came to Julu, he made a big fanfare and claimed that he was here to deliver a letter to the Tai Furen. After he entered the city, he even made a big fanfare. He said that it was the Tai Madam writing a letter to the Prime Minister.
, to recruit the prime minister to Yecheng, I’m afraid this matter has been spread by now.”
"What!" Zhuge Liang was startled and wanted to jump up on the spot.
It's a pity that his legs are broken, so how can he stand up from the wheelchair.
Zhuge Liang was shocked, his face showed embarrassment. He gritted his teeth secretly, and his anger was beyond words.
He knew that this must be Yan Liang's deliberate announcement, determined to force him into a dilemma and destroy his reputation.
Zhuge Liang was so angry and anxious at the same time that he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
At this moment, a report came from outside the gate. It was said that an envoy from Chu claimed to send a letter home to Zhuge Liang, but the defenders at the city gate did not dare to stop him. They could only send the envoy to the Prime Minister's Mansion and wait for Zhuge Liang's decision.
Zhuge Liang frowned again. At this point, he had no choice.
"Let the envoy from Chu come in," Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
What could Zhuge Liang do? Could he pretend to be an ostrich and refuse to see the Chu envoy?
At that time, the world would say that Zhuge Liang was unfilial and was unwilling to even read his mother's letters. He clearly wanted to abandon his mother.
People's words can be feared. The more a person like Zhuge Liang prides himself on filial piety, the more he fears people's words.
After a while, the envoy of Chu entered the hall under the strict guard of his soldiers.
The Chu envoy was not arrogant, but greeted Zhuge Liang respectfully, and then presented the Song family letter to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang forced himself to calm down, took the letter calmly, and read it calmly.
That font is undoubtedly Song's handwriting.
The content of the letter was just as Zhuge Liang expected. In the name of his mother, his stepmother summoned him to Yecheng to fulfill his filial piety.
Zhuge Liang's mouth was trembling slightly, and the anger of embarrassment was burning in his chest.
He knew very well that with his mother as a person, calling him here would definitely put him in danger, so naturally he would never do this.
But now that my mother still wrote this letter, she must have been forced by Yan Liang and had no choice but to comply.
Zhuge Liang also knew very well that his mother had a very strong character, yet she actually succumbed to Yan Liang. It is conceivable that her mother must have suffered unbearable torture from Yan Liang, and she had to be humiliated because she could no longer bear it.
I wrote this letter.
With a good appearance and a lustful nature, he took the wives and daughters of his enemies as his own and forced them to succumb to his lustful power. This is nothing new and is a matter widely known to the world.
Zhuge Liang knew without even thinking about what means Yan Liang used to force his mother to surrender.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang could not help but think of this picture:
His stepmother, who still retains her charm, was lying there naked and humming, while humming and writing this shameless letter home, while Yan Liang was waging war on his stepmother...
The anger in Zhuge Liang's chest was like a volcano, almost about to erupt.
Yan Liang, that was Yan Liang. He killed his brother Zhuge Jun, humiliated his brother Zhuge Jin, took over his sister Zhuge Ling, and even took away his wife Huang Yueying.
He is such a gnashing of teeth enemy, but now, his mother is surrendering to his crotch and becoming his plaything.
Shame, huge shame!
Zhuge Liang didn't dare to think about it any more. He was afraid that if he continued to imagine it, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
In Zhuge Liang's heart, there were waves of anger, but in front of the Chu envoy, Zhuge Liang acted calmly and did not show any anger at all.
After reading the letter from home, Zhuge Liang slowly closed the letter and when he raised his head, his face was calm.
"I have received the original letter from home. I would like you to send a message to Yan Liang when you return to Yecheng. Just tell him that he should not be complacent for too long. Sooner or later, I, Zhuge Liang, will cut him into pieces. Let him establish a fake
The state of Chu was wiped out in ashes."
It stands to reason that since his mother was in the hands of Yan Liang, Zhuge Liang would not dare to speak so harshly to Yan Liang.
Zhuge Liang wanted to utter arrogant words to Yan Liang. His intention was naturally to anger Yan Liang and make Yan Liang angry with his mother.
If Yan Liang could kill the Song family in a fit of rage, then Zhuge Liang would not have to bear the reputation of being "unfilial".
Moreover, Zhuge Liang could also use his mother's death to denounce Yan Liang's cruelty and arouse the world's dissatisfaction with Yan Liang.
The envoy of Chu was not angry, but promised Zhuge Liang to convey his words to the emperor, and then left immediately.
Zhuge Liang sat in a wheelchair and watched Chu Shi leave.
When the Chu envoy left and only his own people were left in the hall, the anger in Zhuge Liang's chest could no longer be controlled and suddenly spewed out.
"Tie Yan, you are despicable and shameless. I, Zhuge Liang, swear to be incompatible with you. Just wait. Sooner or later I will behead you with my own hands. Just wait for me——"
Ge Liang was so angry that he lost control. Like a shrew cursing in the street, he cursed Yan Liang in a hysterical manner.
The once elegant and calm Zhuge Liang, who was unfazed by shock, has completely disappeared. Only a crazy avenger blinded by shame and anger is left.
Gan Hai and other servants were all dumbfounded. They stared at Zhuge Liang and cursed loudly.
Zhuge Liang cursed for a long time, and then he regained some consciousness and realized that his out-of-control emotions were damaging his usual image.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to suppress his anger and raised his hand to wipe away the saliva from the corner of his mouth. When he raised his hand, he saw the letter from his mother again.
"Damn it, why didn't you commit suicide and put me in this situation?"
Zhuge Liang was so filled with hatred that he wanted to tear up the family letter on the spot to vent his anger.
Just when he was about to tear up the letter, a clear thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
"The thief Yan has made a big publicity that my mother wrote me a letter home, making it known all over the city. Your Majesty will know about it sooner or later. If I tear up the letter today and your Majesty asks the general to get up, won't I be suspected?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to tidy up the letters that were almost rotten and put them into their original state.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang had regained his composure, the close servants secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gan Hai moved closer and asked cautiously: "Prime Minister, Mrs. Tai has a letter to summon the Prime Minister. Should the Prime Minister go or not?"
Go? Or not?
Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed into deep grooves, and he was caught in a dilemma.
…
However, the Chu envoy left Julu and went straight to Ye. A few days later, he returned to Yecheng.
In the palace, Yan Liang had just reviewed the memorial and was about to relax a bit. When he heard the envoy came back, he became interested and ordered the Song family to be announced as well.
Not long after, Mrs. Song, who looked gloomy, cautiously walked into the palace.
After several days of recovery, Song's body and bones had basically recovered from starvation, but the mental trauma was difficult to recover from.
When she heard Yan Liang's announcement, the shameful scene could not help but come to mind, and she suddenly panicked.
Mrs. Song had no choice but to fight against the shame in her heart and come to the main hall reluctantly.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Mrs. Song paid her respects in a low voice. She no longer dared to call herself "I" and could only call herself "I".
"Get up." Yan Liang waved his hand.
When Mrs. Song stood up, she met Yan Liang's eyes full of evil intent.
Mrs. Song's delicate body suddenly trembled, she felt as if her clothes were nothing, and Yan Liang's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her clothes and directly see her breasts.
Mrs. Song's face felt dizzy, she quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when you summon me to come here."
"I have sent your letter to Zhuge Liang. I have called you here today because I want you to listen to Zhuge Liang's reply."
After Yan Liang finished speaking, he glanced at the envoy and asked him to send Zhuge Liang's reply.
The envoy did not dare to conceal anything, so he could only tell the truth about Zhuge Liang's arrogant reply to Yan Liang after receiving the letter.
Mrs. Song originally thought that Zhuge Liang would reply with some words of comfort and concern for her, but her son's reply did not mention her at all, and he also spoke rudely to Yan Liang, as if he was not afraid that Yan Liang would offend her as a mother.
Mrs. Song's heart felt sour, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Yan Liang timidly.
