Chapter 0465(2/2)
So two days later, I heard that Guan Junhou accidentally broke two long knives while practicing martial arts.
Just as the Jincheng veterans were happily eating melons, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a somewhat special guest.
"Li Feng has met the Prime Minister."
Li Yan's son Li Feng had just rushed back to Jincheng from Yong'an and came directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"You don't need to be polite." Zhuge Liang was very happy to see Li Feng, "Is it okay for Zhengfang to be in Yong'an? You came here this time, but what good news did Zhengfang have?"
"Back to Prime Minister, everything is well with you. Your Excellency received news from Xincheng Mengda a few days ago, so you ordered Feng Feng to travel day and night to deliver the message."
"Oh, seriously?" Zhuge Liang said in surprise, "I didn't expect Meng Da to reply so quickly?"
"That's right. Prime Minister, I heard from you that Meng Da really has the heart to return to the Han Dynasty."
A delighted smile appeared on Li Feng's face, and he took out the envelope from his arms and said, "What your Excellency has said is all in it. Please take a look at it, the Prime Minister."
"Okay!" Zhuge Liang couldn't wait to take the letter, suppressing the joy in his heart, and looked at Li Feng again. Although his face looked tired, his demeanor was still as gentle as jade, and he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Zhuge Liang could only be heard saying in a warm voice, "Da Lang rushed to Jincheng from Yong'an. He must be tired. Let's go down and have a rest first. I will take you to see someone tomorrow."
"I wonder who the Prime Minister wants Feng to see?"
Li Feng asked respectfully.
"This man is quite famous. I think you must have heard of him. His surname is Feng and his first name is Yong. He is a rare and talented person."
Li Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Feng has heard about Feng Langjun for a long time! He has long admired him, but he has no way of knowing him. If he can be introduced by the Prime Minister in person, he will be really happy."
Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, "You are a gentle gentleman, but that boy is not. When we meet tomorrow, I just hope not to be disappointed."
Li Fengxi said diligently, "I will definitely not be disappointed. Feng Langjun has been reciting his articles tirelessly for a long time. Hearing that this time Prime Minister Feng Langjun came up with another strange strategy during his southern expedition, Feng couldn't wait to have a long talk with him at this time."
"
After saying that, he bowed again and said, "When I meet with distinguished guests tomorrow, Feng needs to take a good rest to recuperate his energy so as not to lose his etiquette. Prime Minister, Feng will retire first."
"Well, you go ahead."
After Li Feng withdrew, Zhuge Liang directly opened Li Yan's letter and read it.
It turned out that the beginning was indeed as Li Feng said. Li Yan relayed Meng Da's reply, saying that he wanted to work with his beloved, and also talked about how he had pacified Sichuan and Shu with the late emperor.
"It seems that I have to write a letter to Mengda."
Zhuge Liang said to himself with a smile on his face.
However, later on, Li Yan changed the subject and began to talk about the Southern Expedition, saying that the prime minister worked tirelessly and personally led the army to the south, and he was worthy of being a model for the ministers.
The reason why he was able to quickly pacify Nanzhong was because he was extremely talented and could not be matched by others.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly when he saw this.
Everyone knows that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty likes people who do practical things and does not like people who are flattering, so now the official administration of the Han Dynasty is relatively clear.
Li Yan's words made Zhuge Liang a little disgusted.
Unexpectedly, later on, Li Yan began to detail the Prime Minister's previous contributions. The further he went, the more serious his exaggerations became.
The pacification of Nanzhong has been said to have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, comparable to Huo Guangkuang's support of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Li Yan expressed his intention: the prime minister should accept Jiuxi, become a noble and king.
He also expressed his willingness to follow the Prime Minister's lead and take the lead in writing a letter to His Majesty.
After Zhuge Liang read it, his complexion immediately turned livid, and he couldn't help but slapped the case with a bang!
He yelled angrily: "Shuzi is bullying me!"
Jiuxi are nine kinds of ritual utensils given by the emperor to princes and ministers with special honors.
They are chariots and horses, clothing, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, Huben, ax and ax, bow and arrow, and Qian.
This is the highest courtesy from a human minister.
But from Wang Mang to Cao Cao, Jiuxi has changed.
Nowadays, if a mortal minister can enter Jiuxi, it means that he is always ready to usurp the throne.
For the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who always aimed to revive the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital, Li Yan's words were nothing short of the most serious insult to himself!
But after all, Zhuge Liang was the one who held the power of the Han Dynasty. He had seen many big storms and waves. While being angry, he began to think about the intention of Li Yan's words.
Is this what he originally meant, or is he testing himself?
If he is sincere, then this person will definitely not be able to stay. At least, he will have to find a way to demote him to a civilian position and will not be allowed to serve as an official in the court again.
If it was a test... that would be too bold. Is this something that can be discussed between ministers?
Zhuge Liang took a few steps back and forth, thinking of the palace's actions in the past few days, and his doubts deepened. Is there any connection... between them?
It's just that after all, Li Yan was a person entrusted by the late emperor to guard Yong'an, he had the authority to take holidays, and he had all the elite soldiers left by the late emperor.
If he really has evil intentions, then the situation that the big man can easily settle will become turbulent again.
Today's big men really can't afford to be messy anymore.
When Zhuge thought of this, he let out a long sigh and frowned tightly.
At this moment, a servant came over to report that Chen Zhen had been ordered to visit the house.
