Zhuge Liang's Prime Minister's Mansion is located in an official hall in the southeast corner of Jianzhang Palace. He liked it very much, not only because he lived here when he was stationed in Guanzhong, but also because he had a hundred-foot railing that could climb high and look far and wide.

.

When his thinking is blocked, Zhuge Liang likes to climb up to the Hundred-foot Rail to look far away, so as to calm down, sort out his thoughts, and make a clear judgment on the current complex situation. However, there are also bad things about the Hundred-foot Rail, one is that it is too high.

Climbing is not easy, and a normal person will be exhausted and panting, not to mention Zhuge Liang's disease. Every time he climbs a hundred-foot radius, he will be so tired that he can't move for a long time. Second, the wind is strong, and it is very pleasant to climb high and look far, but above

The wind is also easy to cause cold, so pay special attention to keeping warm.

Although it was midsummer May, Zhuge Liang was still wearing an old marten fur to resist the cool night breeze.

Zhuge Liang sat on a hundred-foot railing, looking at the Wei River in the distance, silent.

Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Pan were already tired, leaned together and closed their eyes and took a nap. No matter how Zhuge Liang educated them, they were just children after all, and their long-term sitting made them feel tired.

"Du!Du!Du!" A slow and heavy footsteps sounded. Zhuge Pan woke up first, staring at the stairs with his vigilant eyes. The footsteps were still below, and it would take a while to reach the floor where they were.

Time, but it's late at night, and you can only hear the sound of the wind in your ears. The footsteps sound chilling.

As Zhuge Pan suffered, the footsteps were getting closer and heavier, as if the entire Baifen Lane was shaken by the footsteps. Zhuge Zhan also woke up and squeezed with Zhuge Pan. He looked in horror.

Walking at the stairs.

Jiang Wei slowly appeared in front of them and saw the frightened faces of the two children. He couldn't help but smile.

"Prime Minister." Jiang Wei walked behind Zhuge Liang and bowed to salute.

"Bojo, it came so quickly."

"I received a letter from the Prime Minister and went day and night."

Zhuge Liang nodded silently: "Do you still remember the question of Wei Ba?"

Jiang Wei was stunned and then shook his head: "Military affairs are busy, and I really don't have the heart to consider these mysterious issues."

"It's true, but I don't know why, and I often think of this problem." Zhuge Liang raised his hand and pointed to the void outside the threshold: "Especially when standing on this hundred-foot railing, I was even more unnaturally considering this

The question, and then I remembered another sentence he said.”

Jiang Wei was silent. He stood behind Zhuge Liang and could not see the expression on his face.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be looking forward to his answer, and continued to say slowly: "Can you see far away when climbing a high place, but it is even colder at the high place. So I advise you not to reach the highest place. It is really a famous saying."

Jiang Wei's mouth twitched and he chuckled softly: "It's a pity that he couldn't stop at the right time. After conquering Liaodong, can he be satisfied with being a marquis?"

"Yes, those who know others are wise, those who know friends are wise, those who know each other are easy, and those who are wise are difficult." Zhuge Liang slowly turned around: "Do you think Wei Ba will go further next?"

Jiang Wei smiled slightly: "Prime Minister Wei Ba decided to Liaodong in one battle, and the Han Dynasty was in a state of collapse. But you are so hesitant, aren't you afraid of missing the opportunity?"

Zhuge Liang's face turned dark. "I just feel a pity. If such a genius is destroyed in my hands, how will future generations evaluate this matter and how will I evaluate me?"

"Laterors will say that the prime minister can make good decisions and turn the tide, and is my minister of the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Zhuge Liang laughed silently, laughing bitterly. After a while, he pulled out a slate from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Wei: "Boejo, go and do it."

Jiang Wei glanced at Shu Jian, a hint of ecstasy flashed through his eyes, and he quickly bowed to take the order. He turned around and said, "Prime Minister, I will carry you downstairs. It's too late at night, be careful to catch a cold."

"No, I want to think about it for a while here." Zhuge Liang glanced at the two children who were sleeping in embrace: "Please help me take them down and take good care of them."

Jiang Wei bowed and took the order: "Now." He turned around and walked to Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Pan, picked up one with one hand, and went downstairs step by step.

Zhuge Liang closed his tired eyes, and two turbid tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

...

Jiang Wei came in the night and walked in the night, silently. Jianzhang Palace is outside Chang'an City. When you go in and out of Jianzhang Palace, you only need to pass through the palace gate of Jianzhang Palace, and you don't need to pass through the city gate of Chang'an City, so there is no

Several people knew that he had visited Jianzhang Palace and had a conversation with Zhuge Liang.

There is Liu City in the west of the city, which operates various wood. The emperor may have to move the capital to Chang'an and need to repair the palace. The wood is short of money, so more people come and go to Liu City to do business. In order to buy the wood they like or make the first payment as soon as possible.

In business, many people will rush to the market door before the city door is opened.

Before dawn, there were people waiting at the entrance of Liushi. People who met gathered together in groups of three or three to exchange the recent market conditions, discussing how likely the emperor would move the capital to Chang'an, and what kind of things would be brought to Guanzhong.

Benefits. When Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty, the people of Guanzhong held their heads and raised their chests. Emperor Guangwu established the capital of Luoyang, and Guanzhong became the capital of Guanzhong. From then on, it plummeted and almost became a wild land. Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty may establish the capital of Chang'an.

For people in Guanzhong, it is naturally good news.

During the heated discussion, a man in single clothes stood by the road, watching the horse's hoof prints gradually being trampled by pedestrians on the road, frowned slightly, pondering silently. He looked for a moment, waved his hand, and the followers remained unmoved.

He left the crowd with a sensation and expression, one heading east and the other heading west, and walked quickly. Then, he showed a gentle smile, walked towards the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, I have different opinions."

Someone turned around, looked at him, and smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. Zhou from Yuzhang. I don't know what kind of insights Mr. Zhou has, so it will open my eyes."

"There is no question." The man smiled slightly: "I just think it may be good for the emperor to set the capital of Guanzhong, but the Prime Minister's policy is not a good thing for us who have little family resources. The Prime Minister's practice of the Legalists

Dao, when I was in Chengdu, the Yizhou family was very devastated, and when you arrived in Guanzhong, you can be an exception? Furthermore, the world is not determined, and the prime minister needs a lot of money to use troops. Now the public method has been used, who can do so next

I guarantee that there will be no such thing as a verdict?"

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly disappeared from the excitement he had just now.

"It is far less important to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The Prime Minister's efforts to increase revenue are far less important than to reduce expenditure. Even if it is opened, it is in the hands of the government. What does it have to do with us? Today's Guanzhong is the Yizhou of the past, and today's Yizhou of the present will also be the same as the people.

It will be Guanzhong in the future.”

"Jun Zhou's words are reasonable, how should we deal with them according to Zhou's views?"

"Those Confucian scholars all said that we businessmen value profit and live in pursuit of profit. Since that's the case, of course we will go wherever we can make money." The businessman surnamed Zhou smiled slightly: "It's not just the prime minister who has the final say in the world."

Everyone chattered and said, "Can Mr. Zhou return home? Is it because he doesn't do such a big business in Guanzhong?"

"No matter how big the business is, if you can't make money, who is willing to do it? Are you willing? Are you willing?" The businessman surnamed Zhou pointed at him one by one, shook his sleeves last, and laughed: "Anyway, I don't want it. General of the chariot and cavalry

He is attacking Liaodong. At most, he can pacify Liaodong in three or five months. Liaodong has a lot of goods and is convenient for transportation. All the people who come and go to make a lot of money. I'd better go to sea transportation to make money."

As soon as this was said, some people agreed and some people regretted it. They agreed that they were doing business with the same business as the Zhou merchants, and the regret was that those local businessmen in Guanzhong. Foreign merchants could live for profit, but local merchants were not very convenient. They could only

Seeing others seeking additional resources, I can only sigh at the wealth.

If he could make a choice between the Prime Minister and the General of Cheqi, I believe that most people would choose the General of Cheqi, Wei Ba, who was already synonymous with peace and prosperity under his rule. Although he was a martial artist, who would have any of the achievements in governing people's livelihood?

It can be compared with him. Even the prime minister, who is known for his wisdom, is probably a little inferior.

At this time, the three-way drum sounded, the city gate opened wide, and merchants rushed into Liushi and started a day's business. The businessman surnamed Zhou walked to his shop, raised his head, and looked at the words on the plaque.

: Jiamutang smiled with satisfaction and walked into the door.

An hour later, the two followers returned to Jiamu Hall one after another and reported what they found. The merchant surnamed Zhou pondered for a moment: "Is it Jiang Wei? But why did he come to Jianzhang Palace so sneakily?

What a shameful thing?"

At the same time, on the road beside the Wei River outside Jianzhang Palace, Peng Heng, wearing a hat and carrying a feces basket, squatted down, pulled a piece of horse manure with his hands, put it to his nose and smelled it, frowned: "This

They are war horses from Longyou, which come and go at night, and they are no more than an hour apart."

Chen Ming, who was dressed up, swung the bamboo clips in his hand, skillfully put a few pieces of horse manure into the bamboo basket, and said lightly: "So sneaky, you can still enter and exit freely, except for the Prime Minister's disciple Jiang Wei,

I can't think of a second person."

"I think it's Jiang Wei, too, but I can't figure out what secret he has. Should I deal with the general or General Cheqi?"

"It should be the general." Chen Ming shrugged: "General Cheqi and Cavalry are far away in Liaodong. Even if they use thousands of methods, they are probably out of reach."

Peng Heng pondered for a moment and nodded: "No matter what, we should spread the news as usual. How to judge is up to the general himself. Maybe they will have other clues."

"Actually, I don't think it needs to be that complicated." Chen Ming said disapprovingly: "The Prime Minister's body can't last for a few days. After the Prime Minister, the people who are still qualified to oppose the general are Zhuge Ke and Jiang Wei, and we will take action separately.

Find an opportunity, one person and one sword, and it will be solved."

Peng Heng snorted: "This is a court battle. Do you think it is a private fight between your Taoist sect. Assassination is the best. You can't do anything randomly, otherwise I can't spare you."

Chen Ming laughed: "Don't worry, I'm just talking, I won't be that stupid."
