Some things, no matter how important they are, as long as no one mentions it, or no one dares to mention it, then it can be treated as if it never happened. For example, the Battle of Luoyang has been over for more than half a year. Everyone knows that according to convention, Zhuge Liang should give
There should be a clear explanation, whether there is merit or fault, who should be rewarded and who should be punished, we should have come to a conclusion long ago.
However, this matter has been delayed until now with no conclusion, and there is a high possibility that it will continue to be delayed.
Rules are dead, people are alive. The so-called king's law is just a law made by the king. It is always aimed at ordinary people, not those who hold power. The emperor didn't want to mention it, Zhuge Liang didn't want to mention it, and Li Yan didn't want to mention it.
No one dared to mention this matter. Besides, there was no need for them to mention it. This was obviously a fight between a few powerful officials. Who, with only audience qualifications, would jump out and steal the show?
Many things can be reduced to small matters like this.
However, Wei Ba obviously did not intend to let this matter go by just like this. He wanted to use this matter as a breakthrough to challenge the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This layer of window paper has been pierced, and Zhuge Liang can no longer remain silent, otherwise he will fall into passivity. Unless he can pay the debt of more than 40,000 gold. Even so, Wei Ba will probably not give up. He will definitely
He pursued fiercely and fought hard to the end. He fired his bow without looking back. Wei Ba was not the kind of person to give up halfway.
Officials are most afraid of encountering such stupid young people, and Zhuge Liang is no exception.
However, he was already prepared.
"Wei Gong, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"Prime Minister..."
"Don't hesitate, it will come sooner or later." Zhuge Liang smiled weakly and calmly: "It is better to blame yourself than to be blamed by others. Only I can bear this responsibility." He took out a memorial from under the pillow,
"Please help me forward it to His Majesty."
Yang Yi lowered his head and glanced. He was a little confused. He didn't know what Zhuge Liang said in this memorial. It was obviously prepared. Zhuge Liang had already written it and was just waiting for an opportunity.
"Mr. Wei. I will plead guilty to your majesty and assume the main responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang. The position of Prime Minister may not be saved. However, the Prime Minister's Mansion will still exist, and maybe Liao Gongyuan will become Prime Minister. After thinking about it, you are the only one worthy of it.
He is so majestic to his enemies. Thank you for your hard work."
A trace of anger flashed in Yang Yi's eyes. In order to keep Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang would rather depreciate himself. He would not be the prime minister anymore and would give up the position of prime minister to Liao Li. So what's the point of having a long history as a prime minister? What he wants is not the prime minister.
Long history, but the position of prime minister. Only if Zhuge Liang continues to be prime minister, continues to hold power, defeats Li Yan and Wei Ba, can he take over as prime minister, otherwise the prime minister's long history has no value. Zhuge Liang asked him to replace Jiang Wan
The Prime Minister Chang Shi did not respect him, but made him a scapegoat to oppose Liao Li.
He had a feeling of being deceived by Zhuge Liang.
…
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang wrote to the Emperor, taking the initiative to assume the main responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang, requesting to resign as prime minister, and recommended Liao Li to take over as prime minister.
The news spread throughout Chengdu in just half a day.
Many people were very surprised why Zhuge Liang suddenly asked for immunity at this time. It has been a long time since General Li Yan mentioned this matter. Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu again, and has been living in the palace, talking about the Constitution of Heaven.
The emperor was just his puppet. In this case, he didn't mention it himself. No one dared to mention it. Why did he give up the position of prime minister? And he recommended Liao Li, who had been at odds with him, to take over as prime minister. This is really disappointing.
People were so surprised.
This is such high moral integrity and a true prime minister's mind. Except Zhuge Liang, no one can do this. Probably only Qi Huangyang in history, who did not avoid relatives in internal affairs and did not avoid enemies in external affairs, can compare with him.
Emperor Liu Chan was in a dilemma. He didn't know how to deal with this matter. In the past, Zhuge Liang made the decision for him. Now the person who has to deal with it is Zhuge Liang. What should he do? He should listen to Zhuge Liang's request and remove him as prime minister.
position, or give him some comfort and let him stay?
Liu Chan was helpless and asked to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang demanded that official matters should be handled in an honest manner and spoke highly of Liao Li's political achievements. He believed that although Liao Li's personality was a bit extreme, his talents were well deserved and he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of prime minister.
Liu Chan did not dare to take it seriously, so he had to push this problem to General Li Yan.
After receiving Zhuge Liang's memorial asking for self-deprecation, Li Yan was about to cry. He looked forward to taking the power away from Zhuge Liang every day, but when Zhuge Liang took the initiative to give up his power, he felt no joy at all.
There is a feeling that I have been tricked.
Let Liao Li take over as prime minister? What a joke. He has no objection to Liao Li staying in Chengdu as an official, but he cannot let Liao Li be prime minister, especially at this time. Now that Liao Li takes over as prime minister, he will only be grateful to Wei Ba
, it was Wei Ba who single-handedly promoted him, and he will get closer to Wei Ba in the future. Defeating Zhuge Liang, but taking advantage of Wei Ba is not what Li Yan wants to see.
Liao Li can be the prime minister, but he must be promoted by Li Yan, otherwise he cannot be allowed to do so.
But he couldn't refuse.
Zhuge Liang took the initiative to take responsibility for the Battle of Luoyang, resigned, and recommended Liao Li, a former enemy, to take over as prime minister. Whether true or false, this kind of magnanimity is not something ordinary people can achieve. Nowadays, there is no official in Chengdu who does not admire the prime minister's mind.
Who doesn't admire the Prime Minister's ability to know people and make good use of them? If he opposes Liao Li, he will not only offend Wei Ba, Liao Li and others, but also go against the entire public opinion. Compared with the Prime Minister, he is simply a natural negative image.
Li Yan was in a dilemma. After thinking hard for three days, he wrote to the emperor, requesting that Zhuge Liang's request for immunity be rejected. He said that although Zhuge Liang had fought in the Battle of Luoyang, he could not say that he had failed. After all, the army had surrounded Luoyang, and Cao Wei had no choice.
A small shock promoted the country's prestige. As far as the current actual situation is concerned, Huo Yi is stationed in Xin'an and controls the entire Han Valley and most of Hedong. The Battle of Luoyang still has results. Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang has to bear the responsibility,
There is no need to remove him from office. It is appropriate to temporarily remove him from the post of prime minister, demote him slightly, and still act on his behalf.
At the same time, Wu Yi, the former general of cavalry, was promoted to general of hussars due to his merit.
As for Liao Li, he is indeed a talented person and should be ranked among the Nine Ministers as a reward. If he makes outstanding achievements in the future, it will not be too late to be promoted to the Third Lord.
As soon as Li Yan's memorial was published, he immediately won the unanimous approval of the ministers. Liu Chan also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an edict to implement Li Yan's suggestions. After the court meeting, Zhuge Liang was demoted to Zuo Chaoqi General, and the original Chaoqi General Wu
Yi Ze was promoted to General of Hussars for his merit, Wei Yan, the General of Zhenxi, was promoted to General of Youqi and Cavalry for his merits, and Jiang Wei was promoted to General of Zhenbei and the governor of Guanzhong.
The unresolved Battle of Luoyang was finally settled. Zhuge Liang was safe and sound. He still held the Prime Minister's Mansion firmly in his hands and gained unparalleled prestige. However, Li Yan broke his teeth and swallowed it, beating his chest in anger.
, gnashing his teeth.
…
The news reached Wei Ba as quickly as possible. Wei Ba was filled with emotion.
"The Prime Minister's methods are still sharp. With each advance and retreat, Li Yan was completely thrown into disarray. All his long preparations were in vain. He probably would have cried when he woke up in the middle of the night."
Fa Miao couldn't help laughing: "After all the calculations, he still failed to calculate that the prime minister would be spared. He calculated correctly that Li Yan would not be willing to let the general dominate, so he took the risk. This is also called a surprise. Li Yan was prepared.
No, of course it will mess things up."
"Well, the Prime Minister is indeed smart this time. Although his tactics are nothing new, they hit Li Yan's weakness, so they have great results. However, I am a little surprised, why is he so good to Jiang Wei?" Wei Ba
He tilted his head with a look of confusion on his face: "Of course he almost killed Ma Su to protect himself, but today in order to protect Jiang Wei, he would rather save himself. Isn't this gap too big?"
"This moment, that moment." But Fa Miao didn't agree at all: "Maybe he knew that he didn't have much time left, so he preferred to leave the opportunity to Jiang Wei." Fa Miao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid, he
The intention is not with Li Yan, it still falls on the general."
Wei Ba nodded helplessly. What Fa Miao said made sense. Zhuge Liang took advantage of Li Yan's weakness and played a trick to retreat in order to advance. Not only did he solve the consequences of the Battle of Luoyang, he also took a lot of advantage. Wu Yi was promoted to
General Jiang Wei was promoted to General Zhenbei and officially took over Guanzhong. The most terrible thing is that he and his father Wei Yan were jointly appointed generals. Dad didn't know how happy he was. He must have made the Prime Minister his confidant, and then he didn't know what to do.
What means have you prepared to deal with yourself?
Rather than saying that Zhuge Liang was dealing with Li Yan, it was better to say that he was dealing with himself. Everything was in his plan, and Li Yan was just following his baton.
If you make a bad move, don't do anything. This should be the case of Li Yan. Compared with ordinary people, his level is not bad, but when it comes to competing with Zhuge Liang, he is a little unable to do what he wants. Of course, what Li Yan faces
Not only Zhuge Liang, he also had to guard against himself. The three-party melee situation was indeed too complicated. It was inevitable that his hands were tied. After all, not everyone can be as decisive as Zhuge Liang.
"Gong Xiu, there are so many of you Zhuge family serving as officials in various countries. In terms of intelligence, the prime minister is the number one."
Zhuge Dan laughed: "So what if you are smart?"
"Oh, do you think you can beat him?"
"I can't beat him." Zhuge Dan shook his head, looked at the river flowing eastward, and stood with his hands behind his back: "When it comes to a person's ability, looking at the world, there are indeed few people who can match him. But he can't defeat himself.
He himself is his biggest enemy, and he will destroy himself without anyone else taking action."
"What you're saying is a bit mysterious." Wei Ba said with a smile: "What annoys me the most about you celebrities is that you always talk about nonsense that is so confusing that it's really hard to listen to."
Zhuge Dan glanced at Wei Ba meaningfully, feeling helpless.
Fa Miao had a smile on his face and said nothing.
