Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 200 Zhuge Liang's Analysis, Li Gan's Identity
Li Qian thought for a moment, jotted down a few goals for the coming year on a piece of paper, and then remembered another thing.

The concubines in his harem are all of low grade. This is Li Gan's strategy of focusing on stability at the beginning, after all.

But you can't let them go on like this forever.

Li Gan decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to seal it once.

Reminiscing about the concubines in the harem, those who had close communication with them, those who hadn't... After working for a long time, Li Gan came up with a general plan.

In this way, most of the affairs of the Dachaohui will be completed.

Li Qian only needs to give these things to Qin Hui, and then the two discuss it, and the Ministry of Education will draft an imperial edict.

He sorted out the written things again, and then handed them over to the eunuchs on the side, and asked them to send them to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as the eunuch delivering the letter left, the old eunuch walked in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, that Zhuge Jun has come to your door!"

"Huh?" Li Gan frowned: "Are they in trouble?"

"No." The old eunuch shook his head hastily: "He said that his elder brother, that Zhuge Liang is back."

"real?!"

Li Gan stood up subconsciously: "Let's go out of the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch also knew that Li Qian attached great importance to this matter, and hurriedly went out to prepare...

When Li Gan brought the old eunuch and Lu Bu to the lamp stand, Zhuge Jun was already waiting here.

"Brother Ling is back?" Li Qian's first words were this.

Zhuge Jun laughed dryly: "I'm back, I'm at home now."

"Brother Kong Ming heard about Brother Li, so he specially asked me to come down and invite Brother Li to come over."

Li Gan was not overwhelmed by the surprise, he stepped back half a step, and looked at Zhuge Jun with some doubts on his face.

The longest road in the world is Zhuge Liang's routine, so we have to guard against it.

"You won't wait for me to arrive, Brother Ling will go on a study tour to visit friends again?"

Zhuge Jun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Brother Li, why do you think so? It's Chinese New Year, who has nothing to do to visit friends?"

"Even if Brother Kong Ming is gone, he has to be thrown out."

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully, and what he said made sense.

But then he asked another question: "That won't wait for me to arrive, is he still taking a nap?"

It just snowed yesterday, if it passed now, wouldn't it be Gemen Lixue?

Although it is necessary to respect talents, there is no need to suffer in vain, right?

Zhuge Jun was sweating profusely: "Brother Li, it's getting dark now, and it's impossible for anyone to take a nap now!"

Li Qian turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then let's go."

He already knew where Zhuge Jun lived, but Li Gan didn't say anything, but waited for Zhuge Jun to show him the way, and the group arrived at a small courtyard near Yanping Gate in the southwest of the capital.

There are three city gates on the west side of the capital, namely Yanping Gate, Jinguang Gate and Kaiyuan Gate from south to north.

The two gates in the north are the entrance and exit of the Silk Road, which are extremely prosperous.

But on the south side of Yanping Gate, there is no such situation.

Only during the Ching Ming Festival every year will there be a flood of people here.

The reason is very simple. When you leave the capital from Yanping Gate, there are cemeteries outside. Most people only run to this place when they go to the grave. Li Gan never thought that Zhuge Liang would choose such a place to settle down.

"It's the door in front."

Zhuge Jun pointed forward in the car, it was a small alley, and the carriage could barely drive into it.

In front of the door was pasted a pair of Spring Festival couplets with black characters on a red background, which seemed to be written by Zhuge Jun, which was very festive.

The first couplet is "people follow the spring, and the spring is peaceful", and the second couplet is "every year, a new dawn".

Li Gan and others came to the door, Zhuge Jun led the way, opened the door and led them in.

This is a small courtyard, ordinary, there is still a layer of unmelted snow under the south corner of the courtyard, and the rest of the place is dusty and ordinary.

It may be related to Li Qian's psychological effect. In his eyes, even such an ordinary small courtyard is full of extraordinaryness. This may be because the mountain is not high, but there are immortals.

In front of the main room, there stood a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, looking at himself and the others.

Li Qian thought that his appearance was one of the most beautiful men in a million, but he didn't expect to meet his opponent today...or he was not an opponent at all.

As the saying goes, he is eight feet long, has a face like a crown jade, wears a lun scarf on his head, and wears a crane cloak. He looks like a fairy. These words are not exaggerated at all.

Li Qian had mistook Zhuge Jun for Zhuge Liang in front of the lamp stand before, but now it seems... Zhuge Jun is not even half of Zhuge Liang.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Qian came back to his senses, and hurriedly walked up with a smile: "This is Mr. Wolong, right? Li Hua, who has admired his name for a long time, came to visit rashly. I hope you don't blame him."

The old eunuch and Lu Bu looked at each other at the back, feeling a sense of crisis inexplicably.

I have never seen the emperor be so warm to others before.

Only the old eunuch knew that there was another man named Fan Li who had received this kind of treatment, but it was slightly worse than now.

In front of the hall, Zhuge Liang held up Li Gan's hand and said with a smile: "There are distinguished guests visiting, and the humble house is full of luxuriant plants. Please come in quickly."

Li Gan followed him in and sat down, and Lu Bu and the old eunuch also followed him with low eyebrows.

The courtyard is simple, but the room is full of holes. Li Gan took a look and saw an elegant ancient painting hanging on the wall. On it was a large calm lake. Fishermen were rafting on it, and only a few or two birds were hovering. peace of mind.A pot of charcoal fire is burning in the room, releasing warmth.

"Mr. Wolong is really a wonderful person. Although he is in a busy city, he has such a quiet and indifferent elegance."

"It's all thanks to my brother."

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head: "I've been running around all the time, and this small courtyard was arranged by my brother-in-law."

A book boy slowly walked out from the back of the hall, serving tea to Li Gan and others.

After he left, Li Gan asked Zhuge Liang with a smile: "I met Wang Jieyuan from Yuyao before I came down. I heard from Wang Jieyuan that Mr. Wolong is coming to the capital, so I came to visit specially. I was very happy to see Lingdi before, so I was a little rude. , I hope you don’t mind, Mr.

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head: "It's just a misunderstanding, it's his blessing that Brother Sister can receive the hospitality of Mr. Li."

Li Gan raised his brows: "Mr. Wolong knows who I am before I say it clearly?"

Li Gan was not surprised that Cai You could guess his identity, because he knew Lu Bu and the relationship between the emperor and Lu Bu.

But Zhuge Liang came to the capital so rarely, how could he guess it?
Lu Bu and the old eunuch sitting in the back were also taken aback, looking at Zhuge Liang curiously, or expecting him to be ashamed.

Zhuge Liang smiled softly, looked at Li Gan and said slowly: "Yesterday I heard what my younger brother said, and I thought that Mr. was the son of the Da Si Kou family, or a junior in the general's mansion or the marshal's mansion, but when I saw him today, I felt it's not true."

Li Gan asked with a smile: "Why not?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile on his face: "It's nothing more than tolerance. The gentleman's tolerance is not available in Cai's residence, and it cannot be cultivated in the general's residence or the marshal's residence."

"Furthermore, your surname is Li, so you must have something to do with Dagan's clan."

Li Qian nodded with a smile: "Mr. is really good at predicting things."

This is affirmation, Zhuge Liang is right.

Zhuge Jun, who had been listening, stared straight at Li Gan stupidly.

He had guessed Li Qian's identity before, thinking that he would be the heir of a high official at most, but he still didn't expect that Li Qian would be related to the clan.

The smile on Zhuge Liang's face also gradually disappeared, and the whole person became a bit more solemn: "Then is the gentleman from the Duke's Mansion?"

"I've heard that Tang Guogong has a son of a unicorn, who is already the best of his age at a young age. He has a magnificent head, and the future will be extraordinary. It must be Mr.?"

The old eunuch and Lu Bu at the back looked at each other without saying anything, but the meaning in their eyes was obvious.

So this is it?
Li Gan sighed: "How can I have a relationship with Tang Guogong?"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang was startled when he heard the words, and he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately got up and bowed down: "Grassman Zhuge Liang, see Your Majesty."

Everyone in the room was shocked by his actions.

The old eunuch and Lu Bu didn't turn their heads, they were fine just now, why did he guess it all of a sudden?

Zhuge Jun also looked at his second brother foolishly, not understanding what was going on.

Didn't you return the clan just now?How can I directly become His Majesty now? ?
"Second...second brother..."

The concept of His Majesty the Emperor was still too far away for him, so Zhuge Jun couldn't react for a while.

However, his greatest advantage is that he listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and hurriedly followed Zhuge Liang to salute after reacting: "Grassman Zhuge Jun, see Your Majesty."

Li Gan also looked at Zhuge Liang thoughtfully, and now he realized that what Zhuge Liang asked just now was probably a test, to confirm his identity.

"Mr. Wolong, please get up."

Li Gan held up his arm and asked Zhuge Jun to get up again, then looked at Zhuge Liang curiously: "How did you guess it?"

The meaning in his words just now has confirmed that he is the clan of Dagan. Could it be that Zhuge Liang really knows how to watch the stars?What dragon spirit did you see?
The ease and indifference on Zhuge Liang's face has disappeared, and his attitude towards Li Qian has turned to respect, and he cupped his hands and said: "At the beginning, the grass people had eyes that were hard to recognize the real dragon, and they were negligent, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

"Caomin didn't dare to hide it. Hearing from his younger brother that the person who invited him to be a guest was very young, Caomin had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't be sure."

"In Caomin's opinion, there can only be three people who invite my brother-in-law as a guest and who can say those words."

Li Gan became even more interested: "Which three people?"

Zhuge Liang focused and said slowly: "One is the son of Cai Si Kou's family."

"Now that Da Sikou is in charge of Shangshu Province, only his son can be confident enough to check the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the examination at will."

Li Gan nodded, his words made sense.

Now in the eyes of outsiders, doesn't Cai Jing just cover the sky with one hand and control six films?

As long as there is a source of news, it is known that Wang Mang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, openly supported Cai Jing at the court meeting.

Seeing Li Gan nodding his head, Zhuge Liang gradually expressed his confidence, and he continued: "But this is the least likely, because Cai Sikou's son doesn't have the courage to rule the roost in Gu Pan."

"That's why Caomin first mentioned this person, and after seeing His Majesty's denial, he changed and excluded him."

Li Qian nodded with a smile, and said the least likely one first, which really makes sense.

Seeing him like this, Zhuge Liang went on to say: "The second most likely person is not one, but three, the three sons of Tang Guogong."

He analyzed for Li Qian: "Only the royal family members, and they are very powerful royal family members, have the confidence to say such things."

"Among the current royal family, only the three young masters in Tang Guogong's mansion have such abilities, but Tang Guogong is not a civil servant after all, and his influence on the Ministry of Rites may not be that great."

Li Gan nodded, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhuge Liang: "That's why the gentleman is the second to talk about them."

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Li Gan's question came again: "But the master just confirmed it like this. Is it Tang Guogong's second son? What if it is his eldest son?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Cao Min has never said that he is Tang Guogong's second son."

Li Qian was taken aback.

"Caomin just said that Tang Guogong had a unicorn son, who was already the best among his peers at a young age."

Zhuge Liang smiled like an old fox: "No matter which son of Tang Guogong, as long as he hears this, he will think that he is that Qilinzi."

Such a smiling face was extremely insidious to Lu Bu and the old eunuch, and they both cast contemptuous looks at Zhuge Liang.

Li Gan finally realized the problem. Just now when Zhuge Liang said Qilinzi, he subconsciously put the name on Li Shimin's head.

After all, in Li Qian's opinion, he is the most talented, most courageous, and strongest of the three brothers. Who doesn't know about the Xuanwu Gate... It seems that no one really knows.

At present, only Li Gan may know.

In the eyes of others, Li Jiancheng, the eldest son and eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, is the one with the most ability and the greatest advantages.

Zhuge Liang also noticed the problem, and looked at Li Qian curiously: "Why did you directly think of Tang Guogong's second son?"

"Naturally because of age sequence."

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Gan to explain the Xuanwu Gate incident. He continued, "I think Brother Ling has also told Mr. about my appearance and age. Among my three cousins, only Li Shimin is the same age as me."

"Moreover, this person is also the most powerful of the three."

Zhuge Liang nodded thoughtfully.

Li Qian didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked directly: "The first two were denied, it seems that the third person is me?"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and sighed: "Although it is unbelievable, in Caomin's opinion, if it is not the first two, then only His Majesty will be."

"Only His Majesty can give orders to the Ministry of Rites like a commanding arm."

Li Gan looked at him curiously: "Don't you know, sir, that Wang Zongbo supports Cai Jing?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Li Gan with a smile and said, "Before meeting His Majesty today, Liang always felt that way."

"After seeing His Majesty, Liang realized that this was just His Majesty's plan to retreat and advance. He was only waiting for the last moment to reverse the situation."
