My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

Lu Qian didn't care about the rewards or compensation.

He knew that his father's injustice had finally been redressed!

Let's look at the second sister.

They were sobbing uncontrollably, their faces streaked with tears.

Since the Dianjiang Incident, my family has been branded as traitors.

Every time I go out, I am met with cold stares and criticism; I keep my grievances to myself and have no one to confide in.

Now, the emperor has issued an edict to publicly clear the Lu family of their grievances.

The brother and sister held their heads high; from now on, they could continue to stand tall as human beings.

"I knew this family was framed!"

"To be able to be neighbors with the Marquis in the future is truly a blessing from eight lifetimes ago."

"When the Marquis moved here, our well, which had been dry for ten years, suddenly started to seep water again. At that moment, I knew that the Lu family was no ordinary family!"

The people changed their previous harsh and critical attitude and began to shower each other with praise.

Whether they were sincere or not, Lu Qian didn't know. But he knew that before, they had all been incredibly harsh in their insults.

"Gonghe, please accept the imperial edict." Fei Yi presented the edict with both hands.

Fei Yi was genuinely happy for Lu Qian to see his friend clear his father's name and restore his family's reputation.

However, this edict of exoneration was based on the punishment of his paternal uncle, Fei Guan.

Now Liu Bei entrusted his son to Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. Zhuge Liang was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, appointed Governor of Yizhou, and given the power to establish his own government. Liu Shan made all decisions, big and small, to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang then used Lu Qian's letter, Deng Yi's words, and Fei Guan's surrender to exonerate Lu Congtian.

Although Fei Guan's family members were not implicated, his actions during his tenure were either reported for seeking credit or thoroughly investigated, and he was forced to take the blame for everything, whether it was unfounded or not.

If Fei Yi hadn't followed Zhuge Liang all this time, his future would have been affected.

Thank you.

Lu Qian accepted the imperial edict.

He turned to his mother, knelt down, and presented the imperial edict before her. "Mother, Father is a hero! His Majesty has vindicated him!"

Mother Anu held the flowers in her hands, as if imitating a songstress, and ignored Lu Qian's words.

My father's integrity was preserved, but unfortunately, my mother didn't understand what that meant.

Lu Qian had grown accustomed to his mother's mental instability, so he said to his sister, "Quickly organize Father's belongings so that the court can provide him with a proper burial and a proper tomb."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Anu trembled as if struck by lightning, mumbled incoherently before fainting.

Lu Qian understood; his mother meant: her husband was still alive, he hadn't died...

After thanking Fei Yi, Lu Qian wanted to go to the Prime Minister's residence to personally express his gratitude to Zhuge Liang.

If it weren't for Zhuge Liang's help, the process could have taken several years.

Moreover, there was also pressure from Li Yan.

Pulling out Fei Guan, like pulling out a radish, brings out the mud; Li Yan, in order not to affect him, will inevitably try to sabotage him.

These are all unseen aspects, but the fact that the decree of exoneration has been issued shows that Zhuge Liang has resolved these issues for Lu Qian.

Fei Yi also needed to return to the Prime Minister's residence to report, so he went with Lu Qian.

On the road

Lu Qian inquired about the situation of Li Yan, another minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor.

Fei Yi said, "The late emperor's will appointed Li Zhengfang as the Central Protector-General, in charge of military affairs both inside and outside the capital. Now Your Majesty has reappointed him as the Grand Master of Ceremonies. Yesterday I received news that Li Zhengfang took the initiative to accept the order and led troops to Jiangzhou to rescue Lu Chariot Cavalry."

According to Lu Qian's prediction, Lu Xun's defense of Xiakou would turn the tide.

However, the truth is always so unexpected.

Who could have predicted that Huang Quan would be turned by Sun Quan?

Liu Bei entrusted Huang Quan with great power, even putting the vast Jingzhou province under his control.

As a result, fearing that Liu Bei would hold him accountable for deploying troops from Chaisang, which could lead to Sun Quan launching a surprise attack and causing the plan to divide Wei to fail, he surrendered to Sun Quan instead.

Now, with the various prefectures of Jingzhou in turmoil, the Shu Han court's control over Jingzhou is gradually weakening.

If Xiakou were to fall, the remaining counties that still held Shu Han rule would surely surrender without resistance, which would be a significant blow to Shu Han.

Therefore, Liu Shan, or rather Zhuge Liang, would surely come to the rescue of Xiakou and stabilize Jingzhou.

Furthermore, Zhuge Liang had been stationed in the rear for a long time and rarely engaged in military conflicts. Li Yan, the regent entrusted with the care of the young emperor, was in charge of both internal and external military affairs. When he took the initiative to go to Jingzhou to provide relief, no one could stop him.

After listening to Fei Yi's story, Lu Qian couldn't help but worry about Lu Xun.

Will Li Yan truly offer assistance?

Can we confirm that he's not adding fuel to the fire?

However, things in the imperial court are unpredictable.

Now that Liu Bei has passed away, trouble has arisen in Jingzhou, and the barbarian tribes in southern Yizhou are stirring up trouble.

But compared to the historical situation, the current Shu Han is much better. At least the fire at Yiling did not burn down the foundation of Shu Han and leave Zhuge Liang with an extremely messy situation.

They entered the Prime Minister's residence.

Now that Zhuge Liang has established his own government and is in charge of affairs, he has made a series of appointments.

Two people walked towards us.

The two men were wearing the official hats of the Second Liang, one of whom was named Jiang Wan, and was now the Eastern Cao Yuan of the Prime Minister's Office.

The other person is named Ma Su, the younger brother of Ma Liang, who is also a court attendant, and is now a military advisor in the Prime Minister's office.

Of course, they weren't there to welcome Lu Qian, but to welcome Fei Yi.

After exchanging pleasantries, Fei Yi introduced Lu Qian to them.

"So you're that traitor... Lu Gonghe?" Ma Su's gaze swept over Lu Qian.

Lu Qian realized that Ma Su had a problem with him.

Lu Qian served as Zhuge Liang's tutor, but later stayed home to observe mourning for his father.

It was at this time that Ma Su, due to his exceptional talent and fondness for discussing military strategies, gained the appreciation and deep respect of Zhuge Liang.

Earlier, Yang Yi suggested that things might change in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang asked Ma Su about this matter.

It was around that time that Zhuge Liang inadvertently mentioned a name: Lu Qian, also known as Lu Gonghe.

A few days ago, Zhuge Liang summoned Ma Su again, asking him to assist in the matter of exonerating Lu Congtian. Ma Su vaguely sensed that Lu Qian held a more important place in Zhuge Liang's heart than he did.

Now that he saw that the other party was just a child who had not yet come of age, Ma Su felt very uncomfortable.

More importantly, once the child comes of age, he can inherit his father's title and become the Marquis of Duting.

Ma Su is the same age as Lu Qian's father, now thirty-three.

He had served as the magistrate of Mianzhu County, and now, in addition to his position as a military advisor, he also held the post of magistrate of Chengdu. Yet, he had never been granted a title of nobility.

Although the Marquis of Duting is somewhere between a marquis and a marquis within the pass, he is at least a marquis.

This was a starting point that Ma Su could never even dream of reaching.

At this moment, Lu Qian understood why his ancestor had instructed him to live a life of mere survival.

Before he even took office, people were already eyeing him with jealousy and resentment. If he wasn't meticulous, he wouldn't survive.

Lu Qian bowed to Ma Su and said, "I have long admired your great name, Military Advisor. Now that I have met you, I am filled with admiration."

Ma Su waved his hand, "Young friend Gonghe is a man of great talent and appearance. If he were to enter the court as an official in the future, he would surely be a blessing to the country."

Lu Qian repeatedly declined, saying, "Joining the army is too much of a compliment. I still have two years left to observe mourning for my father, and I have no interest in serving in the imperial court."

"Hmm? That's a huge loss for the country." Ma Su said regretfully, but he was secretly pleased.

Jiang Wan was much more composed than Ma Su.

"Youchang, lead Wenwei and Gonghe inside to see the Prime Minister first."

"This way, please."

Before even entering the house, one could hear voices offering advice and suggestions coming from inside.

"Prime Minister! The barbarians of the South have rebelled. This is a barren land, a plague-ridden region. It is not wise to risk the hopes of the nation by going there!"
