Wei Ba raised his hand and interrupted Zhuge Liang's invitation: "General Zhuge, there's no need to sit down. I'm not here to keep your appointment. I don't know why you invited me here, and I don't want to know.
.I came here just to remind the general of something."
Zhuge Liang was surprised, this was not in his plan at all.
"Ziyu, what do you want to remind me?"
"General, after all, the palace is not the palace. Your Majesty takes pity on the old minister and asks you to come to the palace to recuperate. It is your majesty's kindness. However, a minister cannot be arrogant because of this and stay in the palace. I think you look good.
, if you can stand up and be a director, then go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a director. If you still want to support me, you can go home to support me. What's the matter with staying in the palace and not leaving?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned. He didn't expect Wei Ba to be so tough. He didn't show any politeness at all and directly accused him of being arrogant because of his kindness. Wei Ba was still the gentle and gentle Wei Ba. He was even more arrogant and arrogant than Wei Yan.
He didn't draw his sword like Wei Yan, but his words were more powerful than the sword, cutting him straight to the point of losing his face.
"General, speaking of which, you are also a veteran. You should know these things. I shouldn't tell you." Wei Ba waved his sleeves, turned around and left. A voice came from outside the door: "General, we have private matters at home.
Official matters are in the government. If there is any important matter, please go to the court to discuss it. It is neither fair nor private, neither fish nor fowl. I have nothing to say, so I will take my leave."
When he left the palace, Dong Yun had just chased him to the door and saw Wei Ba going out. He didn't know what was going on. The conversation was over so quickly? He glanced at Zhuge Liang who was sitting in the palace. Zhuge Liang's face was pale. He didn't know what happened.
Looking at him, Dong Yun didn't know what to do, whether to stop Wei Ba or let him go. Looking at this posture, they should have already talked, and it would be inappropriate to stop Wei Ba. But, were they really done talking?
While Dong Yun was in a daze at the door, Wei Ba had already left the palace. He came and went like the wind. He didn't give Zhuge Liang a chance to speak at all, and he accused Zhuge Liang, completely disrupting Zhuge Liang's plan, and abandoned Zhuge Liang.
Wait for others and walk away.
There was silence in the side hall.
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of the screen, was pale and silent. The people sitting behind the screen were equally silent. Everyone had guessed the result, but no one could guess the result. They were all stunned there, staring with big eyes.
, at a loss.
Li Yan was the first to react. He stood up with a smile, walked around the screen, walked in front of Zhuge Liang, bowed and saluted: "General, it seems that we can't negotiate today. Wei Ba just sent a battle plan. I still want to return it."
It has not been reviewed yet, and will be submitted to His Majesty and the General for review later. General, take good care of your health, and don’t listen to Wei Ba’s nonsense. The palace and the palace are all integrated, and the General can live in peace. As long as Your Majesty doesn’t say anything, who will
I dare to say that the general has no words."
Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to speak, Li Yan laughed loudly and walked away struttingly. The laughter was full of joy and relaxation. It was like he had finally come back with revenge after being bullied for many years, and the pride in his heart could not be expressed.
Speaking of it, it can only be expressed with this kind of laughter.
"The palace and the palace are all integrated into one body" are the words in Zhuge Liang's "Departure List" before his first Northern Expedition. Just now Wei Ba accused Zhuge Liang of treating the palace as the prime minister's palace and staying here without leaving, which goes against the duty of a minister.
Now Li Yan used this sentence to ridicule Zhuge Liang again, with the same vicious intention. Who among those sitting behind the screen didn't know what kind of meaning this sentence could derive?
Back then, Zhuge Liang had all the power, and no one dared to make a fuss about this sentence. But now that he no longer has all the power, this sentence can easily become a crime. The reason why no one does this is because they are wise to protect themselves, and no one is willing to do it.
One, now that Wei Ba has pierced this layer of paper, Li Yan will of course not be outdone and will stab Zhuge Liang in the chest again.
Once this incident is over, is there any room for reconciliation between Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang? No. In this case, what does Li Yan have to worry about? With Wei Ba's support, he doesn't need to show off to Zhuge Liang anymore. Taking advantage of this
It was a natural choice for Li Yan to face off and compete with Zhuge Liang openly.
Li Yan left, but the others did not move. They sat there and suffered. At this time, a sigh was heard from behind the screen opposite, and the voice of the Empress Dowager Wu came over: "Everyone, please leave. The state affairs are heavy.
And I’m sorry, you guys, it’s not okay to sit here all the time.”
Zhao Yun and others were relieved and agreed in unison, but did not walk away. They heard the footsteps at the opposite door gradually fade away, then they walked out from behind the screen, surrounded Zhuge Liang, and looked at him with infinite pity. Who would have thought that Zongheng
The invincible Zhuge Liang would today be accused of being disobedient by a young man in front of him, with so many important ministers listening.
Zhao Yun sighed, bowed and saluted, turned and left.
Then, Du Qiong also left. As he walked, he shook his head and sighed. Until this moment, he was still not convinced that what he had just experienced was real and not an illusion.
Wei Yan knelt down on the mat originally prepared for Wei Ba, with his hands on his knees and his chin on his chest, as if his neck was broken. He didn't say a word, just kneeling like that.
After a long time, Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and coughed: "Wen Chang, after leaving the palace... should you go home directly?"
Wei Yan nodded. He is now the Right Cavalry General. He sounds very majestic, but in fact he has no real power. What else can he do if he doesn't stay at home.
"Take me home by the way. This place is really not suitable for recuperation."
Wei Yan was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise. Hearing what Zhuge Liang meant, did he still think Wei Ba was right?
"Prime Minister, Quanzi..."
"Wen Chang, stop talking." Zhuge Liang smiled lonely: "I acted irrationally and thought poorly. I don't blame Ziyu. He has experienced too many dangers, so it is understandable to be cautious."
Wei Yan rubbed his hands in embarrassment, stood up and rushed to Zhuge Liang. "Then... Prime Minister, I will help you."
"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Zhuge Liang put his arm on Wei Yan's shoulder and stood up. He was so weak that he couldn't stand firmly. He was almost hanging on Wei Yan's arm, light and weightless. Wei Yan's nose felt sore.
, couldn't help crying. He supported Zhuge Liang and slowly walked out of the side hall.
Emperor Liu Chan, accompanied by Huang Hao and others, ran over while adjusting his clothes. When he saw Zhuge Liang walking out of the side hall leaning on Wei Yan, he couldn't help but froze for a moment and murmured: "My dear father, what are you...
"
"Your Majesty, I want to go home and rest." Zhuge Liang pushed Wei Yan away, swaying like catkins in the wind. He almost exhausted all his strength before he managed to stand up straight, with cold sweat on his face. He faced Liu Chan
He bowed deeply and said: "Thank you for your majesty's favor over the past few days. I am deeply grateful. However, I live in the palace, which is contrary to etiquette. I will go home to recuperate. I will see you again when your health is better."
Liu Chan blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment. Zhuge Liang hadn't spoken to him so politely for many years. What happened today? Didn't I say that I wanted to test Wei Ba's loyalty? I changed my clothes and went
Here we are, why... we're gone?
…
Wei Ba left the palace but did not go home. He came to Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Tong took a break today and was chatting with Pan Zhu and Sun Deng in the hall. Pan Zhu returned to Chengdu with Wei Ba to see his sister and report the situation at home. When his brother-in-law came to the door, Zhao Tong naturally welcomed him warmly. Not long after they sat down
, Sun Deng is here, too
He wanted to see his sister, but Sun Luban was secondary to him, and his real purpose was to inquire about things in the palace. If Zhuge Liang wanted to deal with Wei Ba, of course he couldn't hide it from Sun Deng's eyes and ears. As soon as Wei Ba entered the palace, Sun Deng
After receiving the news, I rushed to Zhao Mansion to wait.
While they were talking wordlessly, someone came to report that Wei Ba was here. The three of them were startled and looked at each other, feeling that this was a bit incredible.
It's over so soon?
Zhao Tong got up and rushed to the door. He saw Wei Ba holding his hands behind his back and looking at the scenery leisurely. He hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Ziyu, why are you here?"
"Why, I can't come?" Wei Ba chuckled and walked towards the door. As he walked, he said, "Hurry up and get ready. If my guess is right, the master will be back in a while."
"Have you met...the Prime Minister?"
Wei Ba glanced at Zhao Tongyi and curled his lips: "See you."
"So fast?"
"Isn't it just a matter of one or two sentences? How long can it last?" Wei Bayun said calmly, "Why, you all know it? You are very well informed."
"Ziyu, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Zhao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "You are now a sensitive person in the entire city of Chengdu. Not to mention such a big thing as your entering the palace, you stopped on the roadside and talked to
Whoever has spoken, it won’t take half a day for the relevant people to receive the message.”
"I'm so famous." Wei Ba suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked Zhao Tong up and down: "So, you already knew why the Prime Minister wanted to see me, and why he wanted to see me?"
Zhao Tong was speechless, knowing that he had spilled the beans.
"Senior brother, this is what's wrong with you." Wei Ba pointed at Zhao Tong with his finger and sneered: "I dare not say anything else, but I helped you get your wives and concubines back.
Isn’t it a little boring that you didn’t tell me about such a big thing and just watched me jump into a pit?”
"What kind of trap can stop you, General Wei, in this world?" Pan Ziyu walked out of the east courtyard and caught Wei Ba's words.
"Hey, what are you doing, sister-in-law? I'm cooking by myself. After all, it's my brother who's here. It's a great honor."
"His little face is not enough. I am cooking because you, General Wei, are coming."
"Does the sister-in-law know that I'm coming?"
"Of course, for such a big matter, why don't you come to your master to find out what's going on?" Pan Ziyu said with a smile: "Go sit down in the hall, my uncle will probably be here soon. Before he comes back, you senior brothers should pay their dues first.
Bottom line."
"It's better to be sister-in-law." Wei Ba laughed loudly and looked around: "Hey, where's that tigress of yours?"
"The tigress is here. Evil thief, look at the knife!" With an angry shout, Sun Luban rushed out of the west courtyard with a sharp sword in his hand. With an angry look on his face, he slashed at Wei Ba.
