Chapter 73 Farewell
Yang Qing, Zhuge Liang's mansion, had been here before, but he had only passed the documents in the front yard a few times, and had never taken a deep walk in his house.
For a country, the Zhuge family's mansion is not big, the main body is a three-entre courtyard, and the furniture and decoration are extremely simple and unpretentious.
Just because Zhuge Liang and his wife were both knowledgeable and elegant, the entire mansion was arranged in an orderly manner and uniquely crafted.
Accompanied by Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Guo, Yang Qing was drinking tea and watching fish in the pavilion next to the small pond in the back garden. The three of them were similar and familiar, so they were very relaxed and casual when talking.
Tomorrow, Yang Qing will set out to Yueli County to take office, so Zhuge Liang specially invited him to visit the mansion today and had a farewell meal.
Before Zhuge Liang came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huang Yueying was busy preparing for evening food, so Zhuge Qiao and his sister were talking with Yang Qing.
"Bo Song, Dongwu is really such a hero."
Zhuge Qiao lived in Eastern Wu when he was a young man, and he had a certain understanding of Jiangdong's cultural anecdotes and customs. Therefore, Yang Qing often talked to him about the affairs of Eastern Wu.
After all, although the two countries are allies at present, the Eastern Wu is actually still an opponent of the revival of the Han Dynasty. However, they are now united because of interests, so it is also good to know more about them.
Zhuge Qiao smiled cheerfully and replied: "Wu is of many heroic land, but Shu is also very talented, and intelligent people are like crucian carp crossing the river. For example, Brother Yang, Qiao thought that few of the younger generation in Jiangdong could compare to you."
It is said that Zhuge Qiao's life in Shu in recent years has actually been a bit unhappy. He was originally adopted by Zhuge Liang when the two countries had a harmonious relationship. At that time, Zhuge Liang and his brother Zhuge Jin both obtained consent from Liu Bei and Sun Quan in advance, so this move is a good story between the two countries.
However, since the 24th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan defeated the alliance and captured and killed Guan Yu, the alliance between the two countries broke down during the four or five years and the relationship deteriorated. Zhuge Qiao, who was born in Jiangdong, became a little embarrassed in Chengdu.
Although others would not really do anything out of line to Zhuge Liang due to his identity, some people are not very friendly to him due to the failure of Jingzhou and the loss of relatives in Yiling.
There are cold words and sarcasm and insults, so Zhuge Qiao has been at home for the past few years and rarely goes out to take care of his young sisters.
Fortunately, since last year, the Han and Wu countries have reorganized a alliance, and the resentment of Shu's resentment towards Eastern Wu has also dissipated a lot, and the criticism of Zhuge Qiao has also decreased, which has made his communication in Chengdu smoother again.
Moreover, he had already become an adult last year and had already started to serve the country. I heard that the court had recently appointed him as the son-in-law.
Yang Qingqian said: "Bo Song is too famous. I am mediocre in my talent, but I am good at learning. There are so many talented people in the world. In the past, Cao Cao's youngest son Cao Chong and Liu Biao's nephew Zhou Buyi were all very smart prodigy. Of course, your brother Zhuge Ke in Jiangdong. I heard that he had the reputation of a prodigy since he was a child. I can't compare the talents of these three people."
Of course, Yang Qing knew this truth and replied with a smile: "Qing understands."
"Just understand." Zhuge Liang said: "Since you have obtained the weapon, you must use it well and keep it safe in the city."
Yang Qing straightened his back and replied with his fist: "Okay, Prime Minister, don't worry, Qing will definitely do a good job in protecting the country and the people."
"Alas, the rebellion of the Southern Central Central China is not the main reason for the disobedience of the king. It is actually because of the decline of the Han Dynasty and the sluggish central government, which led to the powerful powerful people such as Yong, Meng, Zhu Bao, and the local officials have different ambitions and attempt to seize the Southern Central China to become kings and dominate. Therefore, the most important thing for you to go to Yueli County is to handle the relationship with the local powerful people."
After Zhuge Liang beat Yang Qing, he began to seriously mention the matter in Nanzhong: "We must show our power to shock the tycoons and reshape the authority of the court, and we must show our kindness to comfort the great surnames and absorb the hearts of scholars."
When Zhuge Liang saw Yang Qing nodding, he knew his intention and said, "In addition, the common people of the Han and Yi tribes are mostly bullied by the great men and men. As long as they can suppress the power of the powerful and live and work in peace and contentment, and not be bullied, the people will be in the court, and Nanzhong will be able to maintain a long-term peace. This is what you have always advocated. Without any more words, you will handle it properly."
Yang Qing said: "Prime Minister Don't worry, Qing will definitely grasp the strength of it. I will first try the established strategy in Yueli County. After the army goes south to suppress the rebellion, the Prime Minister can improve it. In this way, the southern center can be greatly governed, and the country will have a stable rear. We can also concentrate on going north."
In the past few months, Zhuge Liang and Yang Qing talked about the strategy of the Southern Expedition, and their hearts had already been in agreement. At this moment, when they mentioned the matter of Nanzhong, they were naturally very happy and lost in their conversation.
It was not until Zhuge Qiao came in to invite them to have dinner that he realized that it was getting dark.
Since the reign of Emperor Wu, Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, many vegetables, melons, fruits, cucumbers, corianders, garlic, etc. that had never been seen before were introduced to the Central Plains by envoys, merchants and travelers, greatly enriching the food on the people's dining tables.
Tonight, Huang Yueying cooked a sumptuous dinner herself. Her cooking skills were very good. Yang Qing feasted and ate until she had enough wine and left.
