Chapter 360 Fish and Water Dialogue with Nanzhong Abnormality
When Zhuge Liang expressed all the worries in his heart, there was no worry on Liu Bei's face.

He looked at Zhuge Liang with gentle eyes, and said with relief in his words: "Meeting Qing back then was the luckiest thing in Bei's life."

The ancients called themselves a name is a kind of humility.

It is quite normal for others to call themselves like this in front of Zhuge Liang.

It's just that the one standing in front of Zhuge Liang is the Son of Heaven.

As a monarch, Liu Bei named himself in front of his ministers, which shows that what he said now is the truest thought in his heart.

Liu Bei has always regarded Zhuge Liang as his most important arm to achieve his great cause, not a subject who is under his control for life and death.

After Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's self-proclaim, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He who has always been loyal to his courtiers should have reminded Liu Bei that li cannot be discarded.

But when he saw the sincere look in Liu Bei's eyes, Zhuge Liang couldn't say that sentence.

More than ten years of being in the same boat through thick and thin, and more than ten years of intimacy, has already made the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei surpass the boundaries of ordinary monarchs and ministers.

After saying this, Liu Bei handed over the document in his hand to the little yellow gate on the side, and then continued to say to Zhuge Liang:
"Back then, I was apprenticed to Lord Lu, who taught me what is the Six Righteous Ministers."

"Madam ministers have not budged, and signs have not been seen. They clearly see the opportunity of survival, the key to gain and loss, and before the ban of Yu, make the country stand above the invincible place. If this is the case, it is a holy minister."

"At that time, I was still young, and I always thought that the kind of holy officials mentioned by Lu Gong only existed in history books.

But when I met Qing, I knew who the current holy minister was. "

"Whether it's your concern about the situation in Liangzhou today or your previous judgment on the situation in the world, it is enough to prove that you are my holy minister.

I am happy to have you as my servant.

But Kong Ming, you have a little deficiency that always makes me worry. "

Hearing that Liu Bei changed the subject and said that he was worried about his own shortcomings, Zhuge Liang immediately straightened his face, bowed to Liu Bei and said:

"I hope His Majesty will correct me."

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei was able to have what he is today, and Zhuge Liang has made great contributions to it.

What the world doesn't know is that Liu Bei often taught Zhuge Liang in the past.

Just as Zhuge Liang called Liu Bei's lord back then, Liu Bei is the lord in Zhuge Liang's heart, and he is also the master of Ming who often teaches him.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang bent over him humbly to ask for advice as he did back then, Liu Bei showed a smile on his face.

"Using you as a chancellor, including my deliberate evasion of the Minister's Order, has made you unrestricted in political affairs, because I value your talent comparable to Guan Zhong.

I know that with you here, you will handle the political affairs of the big man very properly for me.

It's just that although you, Kong Ming, have far-reaching knowledge and are loyal to your duties, you have not learned this advantage from me.

When it comes to governing the country, I am far inferior to you.When it comes to marching and fighting, Yunchang, Yide, Zicheng, etc. are all above me.

However, I, who is not considered a leader in the military or government, was able to reopen the Dahan Foundation because I have always known people and done things well.

As you said, Zisheng's taking over Wu Yi's military power may cause dissatisfaction among many Yizhou gentry.

However, the gentry in Yizhou had always been at odds with Zicheng. Could it be that if Zicheng didn't take over Wu Yi's military power, wouldn't those muddle-headed people be dissatisfied with Zicheng's ruling Liangzhou and Qiankun's arbitrariness? "

"Furthermore, even those Yizhou gentry intend to disturb the situation in Liangzhou.

But since I have made Zisheng the Liangzhou shepherd, then he must find a way to smooth out these undercurrents.

This is also something he should solve.

If he is incompetent and needs me or Qing to eliminate hidden dangers for him behind his back, is that a good thing for him and Liangzhou? .
Is it another good thing for you, Kong Ming? "

The more Liu Bei spoke, the deeper the warning in his words became.

It's just that when he said the last sentence, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang who was over forty years old and had a lot of white hair between his temples, and his tone changed to worry.

After the tone changed, Liu Bei sighed and said: "I know that you came to the palace to find me today because you are thinking about the future of the great man, and you are worried that the situation in Liangzhou will become unstable.

Just like when you deal with political affairs, you must do everything yourself, and make sure there are no omissions.

But Kong Ming, do you know that the reason why I spare no effort to promote Zisheng is to let him share your worries in the future, I just don't want you to work too hard.

If the mind is exhausted too much, what good is it to the body? "

This is the deepest worry in Liu Bei's heart today.

Since Zhuge Liang was reused by Liu Bei in Jingzhou and began to become the actual "Prime Minister" in Liu Bei's shogunate, Zhuge Liang's character has been noticed by Liu Bei.

Because of Zhuge Liang's hands-on character, it is not that no one has slandered Zhuge Liang in the past because of his strong desire for power, he likes to hold all the power in his own hands, and he is unwilling to appoint talented people.

But Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang was not such a person.

In the past ten years, Zhuge Liang recommended and promoted many talents, such as Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Ma Liang, Yang Hong, etc., none of them were heroes for a while, and none of them had ever held great power in their hands.

Zhuge Liang is not a power addict.

It's just because Zhuge Liang has a strong sense of responsibility in his heart, he is used to taking precautions, and he will think a lot about all the important military and political affairs of the big man.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that the current big man is not considered a strong national power, which made his character more cautious.

A big man with poor national strength cannot take one step on a errand, otherwise he may be in a land of eternal doom.

In terms of Zhuge Liang's talent and his position, his character has a strong catalytic effect on the improvement of the national power of the big man.

In the past few years, no matter how proud Guan Yu or Mi Yang achieved on the battlefield, everything would be inseparable from Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts to maintain and fight steadily.

For the country, Zhuge Liang's character is a benefit.

For Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang's character can also give him peace of mind, and he can be an immediate emperor with peace of mind.

But for Zhuge Liang, his personality will affect his health to a great extent.

Zhuge Liang's increasingly dense white hair between the temples is evidence.

So for Liu Bei, what he should worry about now is not the possible turmoil in Liangzhou, but Zhuge Liang's health.

Because even if there is a turmoil in Liangzhou that even Mi Yang can't handle, Liangzhou is not far from Yizhou, as long as he and Zhuge Liang are still there, the situation will not be too corrupt.

If it weren't for worrying about Zhuge Liang's health, Liu Bei would not have given an order to let Zhuge Liang take tonic at noon.

It's just that Liu Bei knows that his actions are always treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

If Zhuge Liang didn't change his character, then his health would only go from bad to worse.

When Liu Bei expressed his worries, Zhuge Liang couldn't help being taken aback.

He didn't expect Liu Bei to be worried about this.

After understanding Liu Bei's worries, Zhuge Liang felt a deep warmth in his heart.

It's just that Zhuge Liang has his own opinion, Zhuge Liang cupped his hands to Liu Bei and replied: "Your Majesty taught that."

"However, the war in the world has not ceased, and China has not yet returned to unity.

At this time, how can I not do my best, and how dare I relax a bit? "

Zhuge Liang said these words with sincere eyes, because this is what he said in his heart.

Zhuge Liang was born in a famous family, and this background led to him receiving a good education from childhood to adulthood.

But at the same time, Zhuge Liang was born in troubled times. Even Zhuge Liang, who was born in a famous family, suffered from chaos since he was a child.

He even witnessed many unbearable things.

It is precisely because of this past experience that Zhuge Liang made a vow when he was young that he would become a famous minister like Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and assist the Ming Lord to clean up the broken mountains and rivers.

It's not that Zhuge Liang doesn't know that too much mental effort will affect his health.

It's just that compared to the peace of the world, compared to the ambition in his heart, what is his safety, honor and disgrace worth caring about?

This is Zhuge Liang's original heart, that is, his original heart, which will attract the admiration of countless people in later generations.

Seeing that although Zhuge Liang sincerely accepted his teachings, Liu Bei couldn't help but shook his head when he said that he didn't really intend to accept his admonitions.

For a person like Zhuge Liang, his original heart cannot be shaken by anyone.

Even if he is Zhuge Liang's lord.

However, Liu Bei is not completely helpless about this matter.

He is the emperor after all.

Liu Bei raised the Liangzhou document in his hand, and he said to Zhuge Liang, "Report Zisheng's document to the prefecture and county, and issue an express reprimand to Zicheng."

Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled when he heard that Liu Bei was going to invent a text to reprimand Mi Yang.

He admitted that he wanted Liu Bei to eliminate hidden dangers for Mi Yang, but the reprimand was too much.

After all, considering the current situation, what Mi Yang did was not wrong.

Zhuge Liang was about to speak to Liu Bei, but unexpectedly Liu Bei reached out to stop Zhuge Liang's intention to speak.

It seems that he has made up his mind to reprimand Mi Yang.

The content of the reprimand document that Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to send to Liangzhou was: reprimanding Mi Yang for being irresponsible as the shepherd of Liangzhou, for writing everything to the letter.

When Zhuge Liang heard that the content of the reprimand document that Liu Bei asked him to send to Liangzhou was this, he immediately understood Liu Bei's intention.

Clear text documents, according to the regular system, are to be announced to the world.

But most of the common people in the present age were illiterate, so the so-called plain text announcement was for the children of the gentry.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the state shepherd, and it was not uncommon for the emperor to issue a written reprimand in the past.

But what is important is the reprimand document that Liu Bei sent to Mi Yang, its content is easy to imagine.

When those Yizhou gentry saw this reprimand document, they would feel that Mi Yang disliked Liu Bei because of his authoritarianism.

Or do you think that Liu Bei is revealing an obvious political signal to Mi Yang?

There is no need to report everything in the future.

Obviously the latter.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this political signal means.

Liu Bei has always spared no effort in trusting the Yuan Cong family.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang also knew that Liu Bei's move was not only to announce a political signal to the world, but also to use the power of the emperor to distract him from his worries about Liangzhou affairs.

Liangzhou has its own Mi Yang to guard for the big man.

After understanding Liu Bei's two intentions, a smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

Liu Bei's love for him has always been meticulous.

Seeing the smile on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang understood his intentions.

The communication between fish and water is so effortless.

After dealing with this matter, Liu Bei seemed to inadvertently ask something: "Is there any news from Zilong recently?"

After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Yun, who had always followed Liu Bei and led the army, was not in Chengdu.

That's because Nanzhong was unstable during that time.

Zhuge Liang was worried that Nanzhong would make trouble when Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, so he suggested that Liu Bei send Zhao Yun to Nanzhong to guard it.

It has been two years since Zhao Yun led the army to guard Nanzhong.

And when Zhao Yun arrived at Nanzhong, just as Zhuge Liang expected, some turmoil in Nanzhong was quickly suppressed.

Even if Cao Wei had sent envoys to contact the various alien races in Nanzhong, those alien races have never changed.

Gradually, the entire Han court became less wary of Nanzhong.

Hearing Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Liang replied: "According to Zilong's last letter, it has been several months. In his last letter, he said that everything is safe in Nanzhong."

Nanzhong is the collective name for several counties in the south of Yizhou.

There are dense forests, dense miasma, and all mountain roads, so the external communication has not been smooth.

It is not uncommon for Zhao Yun to send out a letter in several months.

It's just that Liu Bei saw some clues from the news.

"Why is Nanzhong so stable?"

Liu Bei's doubts appeared suddenly on the surface, but they were not groundless.

Due to geographical and historical factors, Nanzhong has always been a gathering area for foreigners in Yizhou.

In the Han Dynasty, those who could be called aliens were those who did not understand etiquette and were ashamed and blood-drinking.

For such a group, loyalty is undoubtedly very cheap.

Survival and interests are what they value most.

In addition, the development of Nanzhong is backward and resources are limited.

Therefore, Nanzhong often has turmoil for survival and interests.

Even if the foreign races in Nanzhong can't afford to fight against the big man, they often fight to the death for their own interests.

It's just that the turmoil is big or small.

This is the norm in Nanzhong.

However, according to Zhao Yun's letter, Nanzhong seems to be quite stable recently. It seems that many ambitious people in Nanzhong have all learned to be good, and they have all become good.

is it possible?

Liu Bei, who is well aware of human nature, is determined not to believe this.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Nanzhong is currently experiencing such an anomaly, and it must be that something big is brewing where ordinary people don't pay attention.

Just like before the storm comes, there will be an extraordinary tranquility.

Under Liu Bei's doubts, Zhuge Liang also quickly realized this.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and said without thinking: "Your Majesty is worried that there will be chaos in Nanzhong?"

Seeing that Zhuge Liang guessed the hidden worry in his heart, Liu Bei nodded.

"What I am worried about is not the rebellion of Nanzhong now, but the rebellion during my large-scale northern expedition."

"So I want to act first to remove this hidden danger for Yizhou."
