The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 218 Moving the Grave into Sichuan
Early the next morning, after Liu Chan woke up, he took a bath and changed his clothes, because today he was going to the riverside with Zhuge Qiao, Mi Fang and Pan Jun to pay homage to Mrs. Mi and his biological mother, Mrs. Gan.

It was reasonable for Liu Chan to invite Mi Fang, but Pan Jun's words seemed a bit abrupt.In fact, during the drinking last night, when Liu Chan invited Pan Jun, not only Zhuge Qiao, but also Pan Jun was shocked.Because for the people at that time, it was absolutely incredible.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, people in the Han Dynasty have attached great importance to the funeral of the deceased.To what extent did you pay attention?People in the Han Dynasty said, "The dead are treated like the living", which means that the dead should be treated like the living.Therefore, the tombs of people with status in the Han Dynasty have always been luxurious.

As a subject of the King of Hanzhong, Pan Jun is now invited by the Crown Prince to attend his wife's sacrifice, which is definitely the greatest courtesy for him as a subject.

At the same time, Liu Chan also wanted to use this incident to convey his kindness to Pan Jun——I had great trust in him, Pan Jun!

Of course, Pan Jun was very grateful to Liu Chan for his courtesy. He left his seat and prostrated himself on the ground to salute Liu Chan.In fact, the reason why Liu Chan gave Pan Jun such courtesy was because he had already discovered that Pan Jun was a person who believed in "a scholar should die for his confidant".If he is given absolute trust, he will give full play to his abilities. This is what he can see from Pan Jun's own daily patrols of the city defense.

When Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao arrived at the city gate, Mi Fang and Pan Jun were already waiting there.Today's Pan Jun's appearance has obviously gone through a lot of careful tidying. He is wearing a gorgeous crown and hat, and the expression on his face is much more relaxed than usual, and he even wears a faint smile from time to time.

It seems that Liu Chan invited him to attend the memorial ceremony, which made Pan Jun feel extremely happy.

Mi Fang was similar to Pan Jun, and her clothes were also very regular, and obviously more gorgeous.However, the prime minister looks at his demeanor first, his conversation second, and his clothes last.Therefore, in Liu Chan's view, although Mi Fang was dressed in rich clothes, there was obviously a big gap between Mi Fang and Pan Junna in terms of bearing and demeanor.

After Liu Chan greeted the two, the three carriages set off to the riverside with a group of people and all the items used for the memorial ceremony.

When we got there, we saw two lonely tombs standing by the river.Not far away are the reeds that rustle and whisper all day long, and farther away is the rolling water of the Yangtze River, with white sails dotted on the river, ups and downs with the swaying river water.

Maybe the scenery here is wonderful.But when he thought that what was buried in the tomb was the person he should be most grateful for, Liu Chan couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.

The servants began to place incense tables, fruits, lamps and candles, and the sacrifice had just begun.The memorial ceremony seemed cumbersome, and it took a long time to complete, but the time was almost past noon.Seeing that there was plenty of time, Liu Chan invited Pan Jun and Mi Fang, two officials from Jingzhou, to walk along the river.

In fact, there was no need to even think about it. There must be spies from Wu and Wei everywhere in Jingzhou, so Zhao Feng had to send all his men to sort out the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the three big men.

The three of them chatted while walking slowly to see the scenery on the river, and the solemn atmosphere of the memorial ceremony just now eased a lot.Mi Fang seemed to have good communication skills, and she was able to chat with the always serious Pan Jun. It seemed that they cooperated happily.

Mi Fang first chatted about some past events of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi. Liu Chan seldom lived with Liu Bei, and knew little about the two of them.Mi Fang's eloquence in storytelling was not bad, and she told stories about things that Liu Chan had never heard before, which felt very interesting.

After listening, Liu Chan told Mi Fang what he was thinking: "Uncle, since Pan Zhizhong is here today, you two adults can help me take a closer look. Jingzhou is now in chaos. If there is a mistake here, then we will Back into Xichuan, what about the tombs of my two mothers?"

Mi Fang waved her hands and said with a smile: "You child will just worry about it. The situation in Jingzhou is very good now. Where did the mistake come from? The two wives are now buried here properly, so don't disturb them any more."

Of course Liu Chan would not agree with Mi Fang's statement, otherwise why would he come all the way to Jiangling and take all kinds of actions, isn't his purpose just to keep Jingzhou territory from Soochow?Liu Chan looked at Pan Jun and asked, "Pan Zhizhong, what do you think?"

Pan Jun originally thought that Liu Chan's mention of himself just now was just in passing, but he didn't want the son to really ask him.However, this matter is not a trivial matter, how can an outsider meddle in it casually?

He evaded the important point and said lightly: "My son, Guan Junhou is now victorious on the front line, and Cao Jun has already been beaten out of breath, so I am afraid that there is no need to worry about the war in the north. However, most of the troops in Jingzhou have been withdrawn now. Going out, it can be said that the army is empty. If someone takes the opportunity to launch a large army to attack, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Liu Chan nodded, secretly praising that Pan Jun's vision is not bad, he can see through this Achilles' heel of Jingzhou, and his ability is indeed much higher than that of Mi Fang!

Liu Chan asked: "Then Pan Zhizhong goes up to the city wall every day to inspect the soldiers' garrison and strictly trains them on military discipline. Is it for this purpose?"

Seeing Liu Chan's quick thinking, Pan Jun actually explained the reason in one sentence, and his impression of Liu Chan in his heart increased again, and he even had a faint feeling of being "knowledgeable".

Pan Jun couldn't help showing a smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a man of great wisdom. You are right. This is exactly what Jun did. Now that news of Guan Jun Hou's success is frequent, the defenders in Jingzhou have gradually become Slacking off, Shi Jijun had to go to the city every day to urge them to be careful."

Originally, Liu Chan invited Pan Jun to attend the memorial ceremony, which already surprised Mi Fang.What surprised him even more now was that this usually unsmiling Pan Jun was able to talk and laugh so happily in front of Liu Chan that he was a little bit speechless.He couldn't help guessing secretly in his heart, what kind of spell did this Adou use on Pan Jun to fail.

At this time Liu Chan said: "Pan Zhizhong's worries are actually very reasonable. The so-called 'be careful sailing for thousands of years'! I have already discussed with my uncle yesterday. The first thing we need to do now is to send the enemy to Jingzhou eradicate all the spies."

Then, Liu Chan took out two forms and distributed them to the two. The content inside was exactly what Liu Chan had said to Mi Fang yesterday.

After Pan Jun read it, he immediately praised: "These contents are full of the weaknesses of Jingzhou today, and the corresponding suggestions are also quite feasible. My son, I don't know who wrote these. They are really good talents in Jingzhou. !"

Liu Chan smiled complacently, and then looked at Zhuge Qiao in the distance.

Pan Jun came to his senses immediately, and praised: "Young Master Zhuge is worthy of being trained by Zhuge's military master. It is really rare to have such a talent at such a young age!"

Mi Fang frowned, coughed softly, and said, "These things are not only Mr. Zhuge's, but my nephew came up with them and let him write them."

It was understandable that Mi Fang, the uncle, was protecting his nephew.But Pan Jun is a person who rarely praises others, so when Mi Fang said this, Pan Jun was a little embarrassed, his face turned red immediately, and he didn't know what to say next.

As the person concerned, Liu Chan certainly knew that these things were worked out by him and Zhuge Qiao.However, the two people in front of them are both high-ranking officials with comparable status. If I come out to explain, I am afraid that I will hurt the face of one of them. Then when they meet in the future, won't they feel embarrassed?
Liu Chan also coughed lightly and said: "If the two of you feel that the things in it are feasible, then please ask the two to jointly sign and issue an order to all places to implement it? Oh, yes, I was thinking, should the two mothers How about moving to Shuzhong?"

Mi Fang didn't really care about it, so she laughed and said, "If you move to Shuzhong, it's also close to the King of Hanzhong, so it's okay."

Pan Jun said cautiously: "If your son really wants to do this, you might as well write to the King of Hanzhong to inform him, and it won't be too late to act after getting permission."

Liu Chan nodded, feeling that Pan Jun's suggestion was indeed sound enough, and said, "Well, write to father as soon as Chan returns. It's past noon now, let's go back to the city."

As Liu Chan said, he looked at Zhuge Qiao, who had already brought people to pack up the things.

After Liu Chan and the two chief officials of Jingzhou returned to Jiangling City, Liu Chan did not go home immediately, but went to the Jiangling government office with them.Because he was really worried about the current situation in Jingzhou, he wished that the two of them would quickly order the officials in various places to start cleaning up the Soochow spies.

And Pan Jun has always been a literary Cao, and he is a veteran in drafting documents, so an order is naturally a no-brainer.After they came to Pan Jun's office room, he actually wrote it with a single stroke of a pen without even needing to revise it, which made Zhuge Qiao on the side stunned and exclaimed in disbelief.

Therefore, Pan Jun immediately called all the subordinate officials, and after copying dozens of copies according to the above text, Pan Jun and Mi Fang each took out their official seals and signed them jointly.Since the eldest son Liu Chan is watching from the sidelines, the two of them have done a very good job.

Seeing that the two of them finally signed the order, Liu Chan was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile, "You two have worked hard today, please distribute it to the counties and counties immediately?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Nephew Adou, why are you so impatient? It's getting late today, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Can Liu Chan not be impatient?At some point, Soochow's troops suddenly came over!Liu Chan said sternly: "Uncle's words are wrong. Since the order has been signed, it should be issued immediately, otherwise you don't have to wait here for you to sign. Besides, this matter is very confidential, it would be bad if it was leaked!"
