Chapter 72 Zhuge Yu
"Your Majesty does not object, but in fact he already agrees with the adults' statement in his heart." Chen Li sat opposite a young man with a food box. The man was very free and easy, leaning against the cushion on his back, sitting in the prison, without much frustration or decadence in his expression.
"The Great Kang Dynasty governs military affairs with civil and military affairs was a national policy set by the previous kings. How easy is it to change?" Chen Li shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this.
"It is not difficult to abolish the ancestral system. What is difficult is to abolish the inherent concepts in people's hearts." The young man smiled and took a sip of wine, sighed and said, "My Dakang Dynasty was among the three dynasties, with the longest history. Even when Dakun and Daxia were small countries, Dakang Dynasty was already a great power in the East. If we talk about the background, among the three dynasties, Dakang Dynasty should be the best. All things are inferior. Only the concept of high reading has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The inherent concepts in this person's hearts are the biggest obstacle to reform. Even those generals think that they should be inferior. Even if the king is determined to reform, it will not be possible overnight."
"You can see thoroughly!" Chen Li sighed.
"Sir, I misunderstood. I didn't say this." The young man shook his head.
"Oh?" Chen Li's eyes lit up when he heard this: "But I don't know which expert he is? If he can invite him..."
"If you really can invite him, most of the problems facing Dakang Chao can solve now. Unfortunately, you can't invite this person." The young man smiled.
"Oh? Zhuge, tell me who he is. As for whether he can be invited, it is my business." Chen Li said unexpectedly.
"This is what Jiang Cheng said ten years ago. At that time, he was the general of the army. I was under his command. He once made such remarks when it comes to national affairs occasionally." Zhuge Yu shook his head and laughed, "Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, but he never thought that he had walked around and finally returned to the Dakun Dynasty."
"Is it him?" Chen Li felt his chest blocked. Others might be fine, but Jiang Cheng was obviously not among them. If he could really persuade Jiang Cheng to come and join, Dakang would not have such a headache because of the East China Sea incident.
"It's him." Zhuge Yu leaned against the wall and smiled: "Maybe because he was outside, he saw more thoroughly than us. If there was only Dakang in this world, in fact, Dakang's national policy was not wrong. Unfortunately... there was not only Dakang in the world, but tigers and wolves were on the side. Three dynasties were together in the past, and they could still deal with it. But this time, the emperor was bewitched by the King of Zhenhai and many ministers and agreed to the plan to form an alliance to challenge Xia, but it was a way to perish himself. He saw it back then, but he forced him away. Now he came back, but he was not as courtesy as a minister. If he had known this, why should he have done it?"
"But the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed destroyed, and Jiang Cheng probably had a second thought." Chen Li was unwilling to say that he wanted to save some things or face for his mistaken decision. Perhaps he hoped to take this opportunity to prove that they were not wrong.
"But the Great Xia destroyed the dynasty, and the Great Kun Dynasty almost occupied the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, but I, the Great Kang Dynasty, can I gain something?" Zhuge Yu said with a faint mockery: "As for the second heart? In this Great Kang world, who dares to say that he is absolutely loyal? You want to kill him, but you think that it is wrong to take revenge now. The truth is on your side. It is no wonder that my Great Kang Dynasty will lose every battle for thousands of years!"
"Zhuge Yu! Be careful of your words!" Chen Li's expression changed and he shouted sternly when he heard this.
"The peace that has been embellished is false after all. If you hadn't found that your peace could no longer be embellished, would you come to me?" Zhuge Yu was not afraid, leaning against the wall lazily, shaking his head and chuckling.
Chen Li took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappiness in his chest. Even though he supported the reform, Zhuge Yu uncovered all the scars without hesitation, and he still felt an indescribable feeling of depression in his heart.
The Daxia Dynasty was destroyed, but what did they get?
He got nothing and lost a Jialing Pass, exposing the entire East China Sea to the iron hooves of the Dakun Dynasty. As Zhuge Yu said, including him, the entire Dakun Dynasty thought that Jiang Cheng was wrong. He had long had two intentions, but in fact, if there was no joint force between the Dakun Dynasty and the Zhenhai King of the Dakun Dynasty two years ago, would something happen today?
"Your Highness promises to let you regain your post. If you can defeat Jiang Cheng, you will be promoted to the third rank and be ranked above the court." After sighing, Chen Li was also a little uncertain at this moment, looking at Zhuge Yu and said, "But I did not protect you."
"Oh?" Zhuge Yu looked up at him and smiled, "Why is this?"
"It seems that your words back then were really fulfilled, but they were thrown into the Heavenly Prison. If I hadn't pleaded for you, I'd probably beheaded directly at that time. This resentment might be quite good." Chen Li said with a wry smile.
"It's not small. No one will really accept this kind of anger." Zhuge Yu nodded very simply. It would be impossible to say that he had no resentment. It would be fine if he was a mediocre person. If he had resentment, he could only hold it in his heart. But he was not a mediocre person. He also wanted to take a rebellion like Jiang Cheng.
Chen Li was silent, he didn't know what to say.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Then... Master asked me to ask you what you have to ask, as long as it is not excessive, you should be able to agree."
"That depends on whether you have the courage." Zhuge Yu stretched out his muscles and bones, looked at Chen Li and said with a smile.
"Will you?" Chen Li looked at him in shock.
"I don't want to, but I have to go out now." Zhuge Yu stood up and looked at the solid iron clutch and said, "If you continue to waste, I'm afraid that the one who comes to see me next time will be Jiang Cheng."
Turning his head, he looked at Chen Li and said, "Since Lord Chen believes in my ability, and the Lord has said that I can make conditions. Some things need to be said in advance."
"Are you going to talk about reform now?" Chen Li frowned. It was not that he opposed it, but he felt that reform was not the best time.
"Of course not, and there is no time, but since I am going to lead the army, I can't send a military supervisor to me. I have the final say on how to fight the war." The Dakang Dynasty was extremely prepared for military generals in military defense. Every time he marched, he needed to have a military supervisor on his side. The military supervisor had a transcendent position and could even forcefully change the decisions of the main generals. However, the military supervisor was generally a Confucian scholar who talked about war on paper. When Jiang Cheng led the army and could deal with the military supervisor and the enemy, the opponent was too weak. However, Zhuge Yu's opponent this time was Jiang Cheng. If he had to face a strong enemy, he had to be slandered with his teammates, so there was no need to fight this battle.
"This..." Chen Li frowned and said, "How about I be the military supervisor for you? Jiang Cheng is now a master of the Nascent Soul Realm, and there must be someone around you."
"Nasonic stage?" Zhuge Yu looked at Chen Li in shock. If he remembered correctly, when he and Jiang Cheng were separated, how long had it been?
"Really, Zhu Shouen has been defeated." Chen Li nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, but you can't interfere with my decisions, no decision can." Zhuge Yu sighed.
"This is natural." Chen Li nodded.
"One more, the military pay needs to be doubled."
"Why is this?" Chen Li said in surprise.
"The national policy of the Great Kang Dynasty, it is difficult for the lower-level soldiers to be promoted. Either the king can give official titles. If not, then I will get money. The king is not bad for hungry soldiers. The soldiers of our dynasty are not bad, why do they rarely win?" Zhuge Qing touched the beard on his face and smiled and said, "How can the army win without fighting? If you don't even want to pay the money, then I'll wait here for Jiang Cheng to come to see me."
"Okay, I'll talk to you." Chen Li nodded silently and said nothing more. In fact, no one could see the disadvantages of the Dakang Dynasty army, but no one was willing to work hard to correct them.
“Are there any other requirements?”
"Others, wait until I retreat, Jiang Cheng will talk about it. If Jiang Cheng does not retreat, no matter how much he says it, it will be a false statement!" Zhuge Yu shook his head. The most important thing at the moment is to pull out Jiang Cheng's nail. The Dakun Dynasty is currently fully digesting the territory of the Dakun Dynasty, and its help to Jiang Cheng is limited. Once the Dakun Dynasty digests the territory of the Dakun Dynasty and turns around and starts a full-scale war, Zhuge Yu can hardly imagine what the situation would be.
"Let's go." Chen Li signaled the prison guard to open the prison door. Zhou Xuan had already said that whether he agreed or not, he would release Zhuge Yu first. As for the others, he would talk about it later.
