Shu Chen

Chapter 74
Pushing the door and entering, bowing his head, walking in small steps, after kneeling and sitting, he raised his forehead with both hands, bowed his head, and said respectfully.

Although it was not the first time to see him, Zheng Pu was still very respectful when he entered.

Let the prime minister, Zhuge Liang, who watched him enter, stroke his beard with one hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved: Although this son is strong in nature, he does not lose the courtesy of respecting the elders.

"Zijin doesn't need to be too polite."

The Prime Minister also looked up at Zheng Pu carefully.

After years of not hearing the sound, Zheng Pu, who had gone on the expedition with the army, had a little darker complexion, a solemn face, bright and burning eyes, and a somewhat high-spirited ambition.It is more and more similar to that, after the Hanzhong War in the past, Fa Xiaozhi, who had been rewarded for his lofty ambitions, became complacent.

Quietly suppressing what was in his heart, the prime minister smiled and said in a gentle voice, "The thief Zhu Bao gave his head, and the counties were pacified, mostly because of Zijin's planning, and it was a great achievement. Today, more than a thousand barbarians have been raised to return, it is true. It is eye-catching. Well, let’s talk about it first, how did Zijin make so many households disobey Wang Hua’s barbarians, willing to fight evil for the country?”

"It is the work of the imperial court Tianwei, the prime minister, and the Ma Taishou to control the rebellion, and Pu dare not live in it."

First of all, it was humility and humility, and Zheng Pufang told all about the recruitment and relocation of troops.

When talking about the willingness of the Qi Yacuo mother family to join the army, the Prime Minister smiled.

And when he said that he was coercing with the front of the army, and when the wife and clan of Qi Yacuo moved, the prime minister's long eyebrows trembled, and he couldn't help sighing slightly.

When thinking about Pingjuding County, Zheng Pu used his power to force the rebels to kill each other, and the prime minister could not help but speak out, admonishing him, "Although Zijin is planning for the country, his public heart is commendable, but what he did and what he planned, Too ruthless! Not to mention that using soldiers to force the people will lose the court’s benevolence and righteousness; today Zijin is still young, and his talents and learning are also outstanding among his peers.

The words are sincere, like the honest teaching to his own children and nephews.

I will pour out Zheng Pu's heart for being different and looking forward to becoming a talent in the future.

Hearing this, Zheng Pu couldn't help but feel moved, which came out of his heart, filled his torso in an instant, and poured into his face.

Moving, and eyes slightly sour.

"No! Pu, be taught!"

Sincerely, Zheng Pu bowed his head again.

When he got up again, he saw that the Prime Minister's temples were white, his face was faint, and his cheeks were thin, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

After thinking for a while and gritting his teeth, Zheng Pu's eyes were burning, he bowed his head and cupped his hands, and asked in a loud voice, "Prime Minister, I have something to say, don't spit out unpleasantness, and ask the Prime Minister to allow me to try it out."

Uh.
Hearing this, the Prime Minister was suddenly dumbfounded.

Between the eyebrows, vaguely raised, a few strands of helplessness.

This son's stubbornness has become so evil?
No need to ask, the Prime Minister knew what Zheng Pu wanted to describe: it was nothing more than, it was for his own actions, distinguishing one from the other, in order to seek "ruthless", it was inevitable!

However, as soon as he claims to be taught, he has to ask himself to defend himself. Is there any reason for this?
Perhaps, Qin Mi's assertion that this son "has a fatherly style" not only refers to his ability to plan paintings, but also to his stubborn temperament?
The prime minister, who frowned, cast his gaze outside the window curtain, watching the decay of the flowers and trees in the early winter.After a short while, he turned back and saw Zheng Pu, who had bowed his head and bowed his hands, with his thick and shiny hair, but he didn't make a sound for a while.

The ruins and decay of winter are brewing the new prosperity of spring.

Just like the prudence of the older generation, he cultivates the determination and enterprisingness of the younger generation.

Complement each other and are indispensable.

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister's eyebrows slowly stretched out.

"Book of Shangjun Gengfa" has a cloud: "On the most virtuous person is not in harmony with the common people;

Throughout the ages, how many people who are outstanding are not stubborn and stubborn?How many people can do evil if they only obey their promises instead of sticking to their own opinions?

Moreover, at this time, the prime minister is a younger generation who is especially happy, decisive, and determined.

For example, the sharp-edged Ma Su.

Because Yizhou is exhausted, it is especially necessary to forge ahead.

If you don't fight, you will perish. If you are Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, who follow others' opinions, and the ambition to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, who can carry the cauldron!

And, if you listen, it will be clear.

This son is talented and learned, you might as well listen to how he justifies it, or see the words that are not helpful.

"Get up."

Closing his eyes slightly, the Prime Minister stroked his beard with one hand, so that he could relax, and his voice was light, "Zijin try to say it."

"promise."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu raised his head and talked eloquently.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I stumbled to think that the barbarians do not obey the king, do not know the etiquette and integrity, and act according to their own interests. It’s not enough to call it a passing!”

"And Pu thinks that the rebellion in Nanzhong has been decided today, and the imperial court will build up its strength to expedition to the north, and it should make the best of Yizhou's strength. Against Wei's possession of the fertile land in the Central Plains, the population is large, and the national strength is stronger than our Han, the imperial court should try its best to achieve Victory in the first battle, capturing the land and increasing the population, and trying to support the war with war, can last a long time.”

"If God blesses the great Han, the Northern Expedition is fulfilled, and the richness of Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, is obtained, and the four fortresses in Guanzhong are fortified, then my great Han will have the foundation for a long-term confrontation with Niwei!"

"At that time, the imperial court will continue to teach benevolence, righteousness, morality, and rest with the people, and you can slowly build up your strength to restore the Central Plains!"

Having said this, Zheng Pu once again bowed his hands, bowed his head and bowed, his voice and appearance were all agitated.

"Prime Minister, you know that military affairs are the way of life and death. With my country as a big Han and a small country, I should be cautious in everything in the northern expedition, and neither mistakes nor rash advance are allowed. Of course, Pu also knows that the weak can overcome the strong. Those who do not try their best to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, they act rashly and act rashly and do extraordinary things when they are extraordinary. It is not that they do not love their feathers, but they seek to benefit the country, and do not take fame and festivals as their thoughts! "

After the words were finished, there was a dead silence in the house.

The prime minister, Zhuge Liang, no longer licked his beard and listened quietly, but raised his head and closed his eyes, and sighed incessantly.

Also moved.

Scholar-officials stand in the world, and they are also virtuous!

The lesser of virtue, self-cultivation and self-denial!The great virtue is for the country and the people!
The Han dynasty has been passed down for 400 years, and there are countless people who only seek to benefit the country regardless of their own honor or disgrace.

Of course, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and the Han Dynasty has declined. How many officials and eunuchs, such as the Central Plains and other famous families in the world, have served the Wei Wei, cheering that Emperor Xian was forced to remove the crown of the emperor!

This Zheng family son, who is only a young man and a crown, has such a heart, and he is committed to it. Isn't this the luck of my big man?

Domineering in temperament, ruthless in planning, the one who harms himself, the one who benefits the country!
How can it not be moving?
Although the Prime Minister did not agree with it, what Zheng Pu said was to be put to death and then reborn, to dry up the power of Yizhou for the northern expedition, but it was indeed a sincere heart for him, and he was deeply impressed by it.

Rarely, after the prime minister sighed, he actually got up with the case, stepped forward, and personally helped Zheng Pu up.

He still held his hand and looked at his eyes with his eyes, and Yin Yin said, "I know Zijin's heart. In another day, I will not say that."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the case, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about it.

When he was young, Fang opened his eyes with a smile on his lips, and asked, "Father Zijin, Heaven is not a holiday, I don't know if there was a marriage plan for you before you passed away?"

Uh?
Suddenly, Zheng Pu was stunned.

Although I had known for a long time, my in-laws could no longer choose the family of the Bashu noble family because of my career.

However, such a private matter was actually asked by the prime minister who was in charge of every day, and he couldn't think about it for a while.

Slightly startled, he folded his hands and replied, "Returning to the Prime Minister, I have never tried to get married for the first time."

"Well, I know."

Nodding slightly, the prime minister rubbed Hu's hand, moving a little faster without realizing it, "Although Zijin has reached the crown, but a man is born in the world, he should focus on merit. You choose a good match to show your heart of serving the country with boxing."

"Ah~~~~"

Suddenly, Zheng Pu lost his voice in surprise.

After another stunned moment, Fang bowed his hands in thanks.

After the debriefing was over, the two chatted some more, and Zheng Pu retired.

After leaving the office, he still felt strange in his heart.

The prime minister, who was actually decided by the details, claimed that he wanted to find an in-law for himself, which made Zheng Pu feel like a fantasy.

Somewhat in a trance, he walked across the long eaves corridor.

Along the way, he looked for a soldier and asked him where he was now, who was temporarily filling the vacancy as the subordinate governor of the prime minister's house.However, he was told that Jufu was on leave and returned to his hometown, Lu Hanchang, to get married, and he has not yet returned.

Seeing that the sun was already in the west, and night was about to fall, he went back to his house in the west of the city.

Inevitably, on the way alone, he once again thought about the Prime Minister's words about choosing a wife for him.

There is no need to think too much, given that Zhao Guang and Huo Yi now lead him to deputize and infer that his wife's family must be from the Yuan Cong clan, or the Jingxiang clan.

Just don't know which one it is?
The daughter of the Guan family was already married to Li Hui's son, Li Yi, while the Zhao family seemed to have no daughter to marry; the Zhang family did have one.

However, it seems that I heard that the second daughter of the Zhang family is still young!
Thinking of this, Zheng Pu couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He suddenly felt that he was a little whimsical.

He thought that Shifang Zheng's family would be able to marry Guan Zhang Zhao and other illustrious families.

It should be from the Jingxiang family.

If it was the Jingxiang family, there would be more options.

Well, thinking too much is useless.

Since the prime minister claimed that he would choose a good match for me, it would not be too bad.

Just wait and see.

Shaking his head slightly, Zheng Pu smiled and walked slowly through the bustling street.

However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and his face froze.

He suddenly remembered that the prime minister's wife is the Huang clan in Miannan~~~
I don't know, is the statement of Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan, "Wen you choose a wife, you have an ugly woman, a yellow head and a black face, so you are worthy of the match", is it a joke?
Also, are there any misconceptions about the local proverbs, such as "Don't choose a wife for Confucius, just get an ugly girl"?
If there is no mistake, the prime minister's claim to be a good match should not be "a good match", right?
Although it is said that marrying a wife is "to marry virtue rather than sex".

He himself is not a vulgar and superficial person.

However, if you can get a wife who is beautiful, smart, talented and virtuous, who would refuse it?
Alas, that's all.

Don't worry about yourself.

Since the Prime Minister has said it, he can't refuse it, let's see God's will
His face softened slightly, and Zheng Pu returned to the small house again.

It's just that the pace is not as certain and steady as before.

As the night fell, Qi Ya Cuo and Zheng Yi welcomed him into the small house, and Zheng Pu walked to the study to pick up a pen and write a book.

After returning to Chengdu, it is time to let the biological mother Lu Shi and Xiao Yaner come to Chengdu to reunite for a while; and send a letter to his brother, asking about peace and family life.
