No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Mother!" Sun Shangxiang saw that the old lady seemed distracted and pushed her quickly.

"Oh, it's okay. There are smart people outside. I don't need to worry about them. I should just sit down and watch the show." Ou Mengmeng waved her hand.

Just now, she had the idea of ​​getting a son of the royal family surnamed Liu to come over so that we could have an orthodox one. Liu Bei was a man of uncertainty, so everyone was optimistic about his youngest son, since there was still time for him to grow up. In this way, maybe Zhuge Liang could be recruited.

But I think it's not right. Zhuge Liang in "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" is admirable, but it's not entirely true to say that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty. But it's like the poem by Huang Rong, "How can a beggar have two wives? How can a neighbor have so many chickens? There is still the Zhou emperor, why are people talking about Wei and Qi?"

If Zhuge Liang was really devoted to supporting the Han Dynasty, why didn't he, like Wang Yun, deal with the powerful officials and actively find ways to help Emperor Xian, instead of hiding in Longzhong in the south and waiting for the emergence of a "wise leader"?

Isn't this the same as Confucius's lifelong dealings with the princes and seeking official positions? Was Zhuge Liang loyal to the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, or his own political ideals? In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as "The Memorial to the Emperor on Departure" is well written!

Like Ou Mengmeng now, she has never thought about the issue of orthodoxy. As an old gang in the 21st century, she knows that the Han Dynasty is doomed, and these heroes are nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, writing a glorious history.

No one can really transcend the laws of history. Just like Luo Guanzhong, he wrote this period of history in an interesting and heartwarming way, but he dared not change the historical stage.

What she was thinking about now was whether she could trick Zhuge Liang into supporting the Eastern Wu? She heard that Zhuge Liang was good-looking and young, so it would be the right choice to recruit him as a son-in-law? He and Sun Shangxiang were a perfect match.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment. She kept reminding herself that she was not in the Red Mansion. Her current status was the same as Xing Shi in the Red Mansion. She could scold her daughter-in-law, but she had no right to her stepson. So the old lady just thought about it.

But thinking back, it seems that no one except Liu Bei has ever been interested in Zhuge Liang. Just like now, although she has a great affection for Zhuge Liang, she still has to consider it from the perspective of the character she traveled through. From the perspective of Wu Guotai, she cannot have Zhuge Liang; including before, she would also stand on the perspective of Wu Guotai, she had to support Sun Quan first, so she could only let Zhou Yu take his own course. If he can be saved, of course it would be good, but if he can't be saved, she won't stop him. As I said, the priorities must be clear.

Zhuge Liang outside didn't know that Wu Guotai in the palace had already thought about it over and over again. Although it was just a random thought and would not be really implemented, he now thought of the hexagram he had divined on the boat. It was indeed a trap, not only for Liu Bei, but also for himself.

"Do you think the Queen Mother is ill?" After entering the inn, Zhuge Liang thought about it and looked at Liu Bei and Zhao Yun. Knowing that they had already met with the Marquis of Wu and the Queen Mother, they could always tell the real from the fake. "I brought several doctors from Jingzhou with me this time. Please send them to the Queen Mother to see if they can help."

This was the reason why he went to Nanxu, to send a doctor to Wu Guotai. He had several plans in his mind, but he was still a little frustrated. He was a little worried about each plan. However, he was a counselor after all, and he could still distinguish the priorities. It was not a big problem whether Wu Guotai was really sick or not. The main thing was that he was afraid that she was so half dead! Finding out the truth was for the next step.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Yun shook his head. He knew that the military advisor was asking him. Liu Bei was the lord after all, so the military advisor couldn't ask him. Zhao Yun was not a young man. He was recommended to lead the Changshan Volunteer Army to join Gongsun Zan in 191 AD. He was at least 18 at that time, right? At that time, Liu Bei was also under Gongsun Zan's command. The two met at that time.

When Zhao Yun's elder brother died, Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan and went to say goodbye to Liu Bei. He also told Liu Bei not to do anything against his conscience. From this, we can see that at that time, the two were actually of the same level, and their ages were probably not much different.

In 200 AD, Zhao Yun defected to Liu Bei, and the two slept with their feet touching. At that time, Liu Bei had nothing, and Zhao Yun was a military advisor. He followed Liu Bei until his death in 223 AD.

Zhao Yun died of illness in 229 AD. Although his age is not mentioned, judging from his experience, Zhao Yun can be regarded as a friend of Liu Bei who knew him since childhood. So in terms of age, the two should not be much different.

In history, Zhao Yun was a true Confucian general, and he was very strict in his conduct. Even when facing Liu Bei, he would not easily draw conclusions.

"Just speak frankly." Zhuge Liang waved his hand weakly. He felt exhausted after all the journey. In fact, the exhaustion from all the journey was not as strong as Liu Bei's words "Military Advisor, you are here" just now. At this moment, he didn't even want to look at Liu Bei.

"If it were a normal day, the Marquis of Wu should have brought us into the palace to meet the Queen Mother. This time, he just let us go in by ourselves, which seems..." This is what Zhao Yun was most concerned about. He had been following Sun Quan that day and had never unsheathed his sword when he entered the palace. Whether he was meeting Sun Quan or the Queen Mother, Sun Quan and his mother acted as if they were laying everything out for you to see, and we were not on guard. This made him feel very guilty.

"No grudges?" Zhuge Liang understood what he meant and nodded.

"Maybe it's true but not real." Zhao Yun was not sure, "But Queen Mother doesn't look sick. But in this case, I think she is really sick."

Zhuge Liang listened quietly to Zhao Yun's description of the situation that day. He also felt very strange. After all, for his advisers, Sun Quan's conspiracy was vulnerable. But this is why people are unsure. Just like what was said before, if the old lady really was bedridden and didn't let people look closely, it would seem fake. But now, she is a good person. What should everyone do?
"Liang has already sent a letter to Zijing, requesting to see the Marquis of Wu, and has also brought several famous doctors with him to do his best." Zhuge Liang said after thinking about it.

"I think so too. Sun Quan has already made it clear that the Queen Mother is seriously ill and the marriage is on hold. Why don't we talk to the military advisor and the Marquis of Wu and ask them to let us go back first?" Liu Bei said hurriedly. He had been here for so many days that his hair had turned not only white but also almost bald, because he was worried about something every day.

He was really a little irritated these days. Dongwu was busy with all kinds of things, and even Lu Su sometimes had to coordinate in various places, and he couldn't always be here with him. No one could tell him about Jiangdong, which made him even more panicked. This was really more anxious than when he was in Cao Ying.

"My lord, didn't you say that?" Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei must have said that, and Sun Quan would definitely not agree, but at this moment, he still needed to know Sun Quan's attitude. (End of this chapter)
