Chapter 914: Ability to Embroider Clothes
Among the five generations and three lords of the Yuan family, Yuan Shang is considered the most unusual, and the only one who is despised and hated by the officials. Of course, he did nothing wrong. He is just the eyes and ears of the superior, the butcher knife in his hand That's all, but no one dared to blame the superior, nor would he reflect on his own mistakes, so this crime naturally fell on Yuan Shang's head.

He naturally became the number one traitor in Yankang, and also a butcher in everyone's eyes, a big villain. Almost no one dared to make friends with anyone, and no one dared to approach him. Even the clan members within the Yuan family complained that he had abandoned him. Because of Yuan's glory, he had a lot of discord with him, and his position did not allow him to get too close to others, which made Yuan Shang completely a lonely and cold person.

When Yuan Shang arrived in Liangzhou, he hid among the horsemen who were transporting the baggage. It was not easy to separate Yuan Shang from hundreds of carriages. When the carriage arrived here, the local officials asked him to When the grooms rested for a day and continued on their way, Yuan Shang changed his clothes, left among them, and rushed directly to Zhuge Liang's mansion in Liangzhou.

Zhuge Liang, who was processing many memorials in the study, seemed a little surprised, "Xianfu? When did you come?" When the servants brought Yuan Shang into the study, Zhuge Liang said, he didn't know that Yuan Shang The Son of Heaven never disclosed the news of his arrival, and Yuan Shang never left Luo County, only once in so many years, so why did he come this time?

"Kong Ming." Even if he was treating his old friend, Yuan Shang couldn't squeeze a smile on his face. After pretending for too long, the whole person became what he pretended to be, too cold and unreasonable, However, Zhuge Liang could understand him, walked forward with a smile, pulled Yuan Shang, and let him sit in front of him. He and Yuan Shang also grew up together, and their friendship was good.

"Why are you here? Your Majesty sent you to help?" Zhuge Liang immediately thought of the purpose of Yuan Shang's arrival.

Yuan Shang nodded, and then said: "I came here just for Guishuang's affairs. Maybe you also know that we have a lot of secrets in Guishuang, and we have attracted many people. They Among them, there are generals, and there are vassal kings, princes, and palace ministers."

"I have heard about this. His Majesty once told me that these were all arranged by Mr. Jia."

"I came here this time to assist you. Only I know the details of these people. I will help you contact these people during the war. With the help of these people, it will definitely be a lot easier.", As Yuan Shang said, he took out a document from his sleeve, put it in front of Zhuge Liang, and continued: "Only you can read this thing, and no one else can see it."

"I understand," Zhuge Liang nodded, and then picked up the document. Sure enough, there were some names inside, most of them were from Guishuang. Of course, there were also some merchants, and even Hu people from other regions. People are not the people of the embroidered clothes envoy, but the people who are bribed by the embroidered clothes envoy. In fact, the big man has always paid for this, and only Liu Ba knows about this in the temple.

The embroidered clothes envoy has been wooing and buying these people for a long time, and it is precisely for this opportunity.

Zhuge Liang finished reading these carefully, then nodded with a smile, and said: "Very well, it seems that the Embroidered Clothes Envoy knows more about Guishuang's defense and military strength than the Northern Army. Then, I hope that the Embroidered Clothes The envoy can find these materials for me within the fastest time, preferably within two months, to get all the materials inside Guishuang. Can it be done?"

Yuan Shang shook his head, "It doesn't take that long."

"Be more cautious in doing things."

"know."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You go to the west of the city now. Luo County's luggage has just been transported here. You can leave one of the coachmen and leave him in the mansion to drive the cart for you. That's all."

"Oh? There must be a lot of grooms there, who should I keep?"

"There are more than 300 grooms there. You can keep any one of them. He will let you know if there is any situation." After Yuan Shang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhuge Liang was a little surprised. They are all dispatched, more than 300 grooms, all of them are embroidered emissaries. If you encounter bandits on the way, you don't have to worry.

After sending Yuan Shang away, Zhuge Liang went to the west of the city to get a groom to drive for him. Faced with the request of the three orders, the local officials naturally did not dare to say more, and hurriedly agreed. Zhuge Liang didn't say anything to this man, and took him back to the mansion. Inside, after just explaining a few words, he started to get busy again.

Hu'er had just arrived in Liangzhou, so he couldn't take it easy, and wanted to go to the North and South Army, but Zhuge Liang didn't allow it, he didn't want the prince to participate in this war, this battle , the opponent seems weak, but after all, it is a big country with millions of people, and this time it is going deep into the enemy's territory. Who knows what kind of changes will happen?

If the crown prince is on the battlefield at that time, Zhuge Liang dare not continue to think about it, so he can only make up some reasons to evade the crown prince. On the contrary, Hu'er respects and trusts him very much. He believes whatever Zhuge Liang says. Under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, he gave up the idea of ​​going to the North and South Army camps. However, he couldn't stay idle on weekdays. He wandered around Liangzhou all day, saying it was to inspect the people's sentiments, but in fact it was just for fun.

Hu'er went to many places, and even came to the border with Xizhou, but fortunately, he could still listen to Zhuge Liang's words, so he did not leave Liangzhou privately, ran into Xizhou, and lived in Xizhou. On the way, he even went to pay homage to the spiritual seat of a local sage. Next to a chi road, seven or eight poplar trees were planted, and these poplar trees surrounded a tomb like guards.

Often people would come to worship, Hu'er was also very curious at that time, the officials who followed him told him that the person buried here was the former famous minister, Duke Xing.

Hu'er led the crowd, and earnestly worshiped the heroic spirit here.

It can be regarded as doing some serious work.

And inside the temple, the officials also gradually smelled the smell of war. The North and South armies suddenly went north, and even Shang Shuling rushed to the north, and batch after batch of luggage were continuously transported to Xizhou and Liangzhou. No matter how you look at it, it is because the temple is going to make some big moves in the northwest in the near future. After the officials of the temple realized this, Liu Yi had no free time.

Every day, ministers came to visit and asked Liu Yi to hold a court meeting to discuss the specific matters of the war. He wanted to know whether the emperor was planning to use force against Guishuang. Liu Yi was obviously not suitable for handling these matters. Fortunately, he gradually learned to be smart. Facing the visitors, he expressed indignation that he did not know about these things, and the emperor had never thought of this before. If he wanted to know, he had to ask the minister.

The officials could not go to Liangzhou to question Zhuge Liang, so they had no choice but to leave.

However, at this moment, the emperor suddenly ordered Liu Yi to hold a court meeting.

In this court meeting, only two of the three orders were present. However, Sima Yi still had to give up his position of leading the officials to follow Liu Yi. Very good, the two have the same name, Liu Yi likes him a lot, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to want to get too close to him.

Liu Yi led the officials into the main hall. This was not the first time he entered the main hall, but it was the first time he led the people into the main hall. Looking at the people sitting in their seats, Liu Yi was still repeating silently. What I will say later, Zhongshu Ling is not a simple matter, because there are many etiquette restrictions, the words are in line with etiquette, and there are many rules.

Of course, if your daughter is married to the emperor, or you are known as the first warrior in the dynasty, then you don't have to care about these etiquettes.

As the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, Liu Yi has a very high status, but compared to the previous two Zhongshulings, he seems a bit unqualified. After all, he only has one background and no corresponding political achievements. When the emperor arrives, Everyone held their breath and lowered their heads one after another. Liu Yi could watch the emperor come in, and even if the emperor's behavior in the court meeting was not in line with the etiquette, he could still reprimand him face to face.

However, Liu Yi did not have such courage.

The emperor looked very angry. He frowned, and the anger was written directly on his face. When he sat down and looked at the officials, everyone almost trembled. , Liu Yi could also feel that needle-like uneasiness, a kind of oppression, he also hastily lowered his head, and the emperor asked slowly, "Where is the servant order?"

"The minister is here!"

"Inform everyone about yesterday's performance in Xizhou."

Sima Yi agreed, and then walked to the middle position, facing the emperor, and said loudly: "Xizhou Mu Chen Dengzhao, in the 22nd year of Yankang, on March [-]th, there was a thief from Guishuang, who tore up the contract and sent troops Sneak attack on the garrison of our Great Han Northern Army, wounding sixteen soldiers, and after encountering a counterattack from the Northern Army, they retreated hastily, but attacked four caravans of the Great Han and plundered a large amount of supplies!!"

"what?!"

"Guishuang dare to sneak attack my big man's garrison?!"

The ministers were stunned, and then became furious. They didn't like war, and they didn't want the emperor to use troops against Guishuang, but this didn't mean they were weak. All the ministers, like bloodthirsty beasts, showed their sharp claws, even the gentle Liu Yi, who was full of anger, shouted: "These Guishuang dogs!! Do you think you have lived too long? "

"Your Majesty!! Absolutely make Guishuang pay the price!"

"Your Majesty, please let the Northern and Southern Army march!!"

The big man has always been divided into civil and military. These ministers in the temple are not weak scholars. On the contrary, they are all proficient in archery and swordsmanship. Usually four or five thieves are not enough for them to kill. They and those generals The only difference is that they are used to hiding their minions in the long sleeves, but if the sleeves are rolled up, most of the thieves can see the traces of flesh and blood left on the minions.

"I ordered!"

"Conquer Guishuang!!"
