Chapter 197: The evil words confuse the public

"——You are a southern official, but now you are a humiliating person and are willing to be a northern dog. How dare you be crazy? If you sell your old man in old age, you will beg for a dog and shake your tail and eat it. If you want to eat it for the three-year-old children in Jiangdong, you will know that Prince Qiao Quan is so embarrassed that you should leave with shame——”.

In the spring of February of the eighth year of Jian'an, the weather in Xudu was still full of cold air, but in the court, it was another lively and lively scene.

When the Censor Sima Yi recited Zhuge Liang's rebuttal manifesto, the reactions of civil and military officials on both sides were full of various forms, including those who laughed secretly, those who were injuring others, and those who cursed them without any waves, those who were close to Wang Lang were naturally filled with righteous indignation, while those who were usually fighting with Wang Lang openly and secretly looked gloating.

As for Prime Minister Cao Cao, he twisted the short beard under his jaw, narrowed his slender eyes and remained silent. Perhaps he had already had another idea in his heart.

Wang Lang was the prefect of Kuaiji from the Xingping to Jian'an period, and later forced to surrender by Sun Ce. In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao established the emperor in Xudu and recruited famous people from all over the country to fill the court officials. Wang Lang was also invited to the north at the same time. Zhuge Liang's proclamation "Southern Official" was taken from here; and Wang Ziqiao was the ancestor of the Wang family. This man was originally the prince of King Ling of Zhou, Jin, who liked to play the phoenix and phoenix. He had traveled between Yiluo, and later met the hermit Fuqiu Gong who had become an immortal. After practicing for a few years, someone saw him traveling on a white crane on the Songshan Mountain and ascending to the immortal.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, most of the Wang family members were arrogant as Zi Qiao. Zhuge Liang bluntly stated in his rebuttal article that Zi Qiao was embarrassed and left in shame, which meant that Wang Lang's actions were too unbearable to his ancestors, so he had to cover his face with his sleeves and escape.

"Zhuge Villager, how dare you deceive me-!" Before he could finish hearing this, Wang Lang, who was strong-willed, had his hair and beard trembled, his face turned red and panting, and was scolded as a beggar dog in public in front of all officials. How could Wang Lang remain indifferent? With Wang Lang's status and identity, even if the emperor and Prime Minister Cao Cao saw him, he was polite. Now he was unexpectedly scolded by a Yamano Villager who had never seen the world. It was really a shame and humiliation.

After hearing what Wang Lang said, in addition to the generals who were not interested in the lawsuit, most of the officials in the court were excited. A battle between the north and the south was the best way to recreate and talk about after dinner for these officials who were rude and guarded by a salary. Even the emperor Liu Xie, who was timid at Cao Cao's face, looked excited. Liu Xie was full of expectations for the upcoming debate between Wang Lang and Zhuge Liang.

Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of the Central Plains emerged. In the years of martial arts heroes, civil servants have become dispensable. Now, the trend of the unification of the world has emerged. The emperor, who was suppressed by Cao Cao for many days, did not feel much disgusted with the "Gao Pet" in the south who dared to call himself a general. This is because deep in the emperor's heart, he was more or less eager to have another force to replace the powerful prime minister Cao Cao.

Seeing the people in the court making a big noise over this incident, Cao Cao frowned slightly and showed a little displeasure. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to propose "blocking the Huai River and the front border of Wancheng to prevent the entry of goods from the south", but now it was disturbed by this unexpected episode of Wang Lang and Zhuge Liang.

This extremely slight change flashed across Cao Cao's face, and even the emperor Liu Xie, who was sitting aside, did not notice it. Among the people in the court, Sima Yi, who was always paying attention to Cao Cao's movements, saw this.

"Mr. Wang, don't be angry. This is just a method of provoking Zhuge Villager. We will accept it calmly!" Sima Yi, the Censor who had just read the order, came forward and hurried forward to support Wang Lang, who was already trembling with anger, and comforted him.

"Zhongda, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. I, I will write an article immediately to refute the ignorant Zhuge Xiaoren--." Wang Lang shouted and cursed, while breaking away from Sima Yi's support.

Although the Hedong Sima family led by Sima Wang and Sima Fu gradually gained importance to Cao Cao, compared with Wang Lang, who was far above his qualifications and age, Sima Yi, who was just in his early twenties, could only be considered a junior.

Before he finished speaking, Wang Lang was too excited and blocked his throat with thick sip. He immediately turned red with his face. After coughing several times, a mouthful of sip with a fishy smell and bloodshot liquid sprayed out of Wang Lang's mouth.

"Master Taiwei, are you vomiting blood?" the attendant beside him exclaimed.

At this moment, Wang Lang's face was yellow, like a piece of gold paper with blood and vitality removed. After a long time, he came to his senses and said intermittently: "The old minister is extravagant in the court. He deserves ten thousand deaths and ten thousand deaths. Please forgive me!"

"Come here, please send the old man back to the house to rest." Seeing the chaos in the court, Cao Cao stood up in a deep voice and ordered Liu Xie and the ministers who were in panic that in the face of this scene, only Cao Cao could intimidate the chaos.

The young censor Sima Yi looked at the majestic and solemn Prime Minister Cao Cao, standing in front of the emperor, and felt excited. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the real emperor of Han was not Liu Xie, but Cao Cao.

"The world is no longer named Liu." Sima Yi said in his heart.

On February 14, 2018, Wang Lang, who was scolded by Zhuge Liang in the court and vomited blood after falling ill for many days, finally died of oil. He was supposed to be in good condition and meditated all day long to refute Zhuge Liang's words. Although Wang Lang was afraid and tried his best, his body could no longer hold on.

On February 16th, Emperor Liu Xie personally wrote an edict to sacrifice to the temple for the Grand Marshal Wang Lang. Prime Minister Cao Cao, Grand Marshal Hua Xin, Sikong Xunruo and other officials all came to Wang Lang's mansion to see him off. Soon, the young Attorney Sima Yi was promoted by Cao Cao and changed from the powerless and leisurely Attorney Censor to the General of Zhenwu, Xu Duling.

At the end of February, the news of Wang Lang's death reached Jiangdong, and the officials and the people were in jubilation.

"Zhuge is almost a demon!" Compared with the warrior who commands thousands of troops to kill a general in the enemy, Zhuge Liang lets the enemy's important officials die without a single soldier, which greatly deteriorates the morale of the enemy. This undoubtedly makes the people of Jiangdong talk about it even more. The words said by Prime Minister Cao Cao after learning about Wang Lang's death made Zhuge Liang's reputation even more.

What's more, in the Jinling city, some good people changed the story of "Zhuge Zhuge scolded Wang Lang to death" into a song, and it was circulated. After the three or five handover, Zhuge Liang's ability was spread to such a magical way. The people in the city said that Zhuge Liang was a flying immortal outside the day, able to kill people invisibly and beheaded thousands of miles away. Wang Lang's death was actually killed by Zhuge Liang with a flying sword. This statement that satisfies the imagination of the people spread throughout the Jing and Yang states in Jiangdong in a very short time.

As a result of Wang Lang's death, this confrontation ended with the victory of the south. Among them, Zhuge Liang's contribution was the most. Under the expectations of the public, Gao Chong appointed Zhuge Liang as his deputy military advisor, and his status was only under Xu Shu, and he was on par with Pang Tong.

Since then, the word "demon" put Zhuge Liang on a mysterious veil, and also made Jiangdong believe in ghost tricks. Ordinary people who seek immortality and seek Taoism are all eager to see the word "destiny" and "selected immortality".

According to the "Book of Changes", there are thousands of ways to make a living in the world since ancient times. This was calculated in the Xia and Shang dynasties. It is said that Jiang Shang fished in the stream, "not fishing, but kings and princes." King Wen of Zhou sought all kinds of wise men. After listening to Jiang Shang's great discussion on the emperor, he was appointed as a military advisor. From this, he was born with a juggernaut who was a profession of comprehending the secrets of heaven. Even Sun Wu, a military master who was famous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Qi also quoted the "Tianshi" unpredictable comments in his works.

"Every time encountering chaos, the people are very frightened, and the geniuses are confused." A knowledgeable person criticized the current ills and bluntly denounced those who deceived the foolish people with specious words as geniuses.

In the late Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In the newly-entered Jiangnan area, the industry was estimated to flourish unexpectedly. Although during the Sun Ce's governance period, Yu Ji, who was either a doctor or a witch, died of a bad life, this killing played a negative role in propaganda. Sun Ce's death was attacked by an assassin and was seriously injured. However, in the rumors of the people, the claim that Yu Ji casts spells after his death and Sun Ce was retribution was even more recognized. So in just two or three years, more testers emerged. In the seven counties of Yangzhou, there were countless so-called "indifferences" of all sizes.

Such a result was something that Sun Ce had never thought of during his lifetime, and that his successor, Gao Chong, had not expected.

The conflict between ignorance and civilization has never been smooth. There are repetitions, struggles, and even helplessness that makes people speechless.

Now, because of an unexpected verbal battle, Zhuge Liang became the number one figure in the charlatan family by "infinite deification". Not long after he arrived in Jinling, he immediately received an invitation from a group of guerrillas led by Wu Fan and Liu Chun. Zhuge Liang naturally would not ignore such a force that cannot be ignored.

Ghosts and gods seem to be useless and useless, but they have different magic powers. Even if some people don’t believe in this, they will not come forward to stop the charlatans from cheating money. Sometimes ignorance means fanaticism and blind obedience. For those crazy believers, even if they want them to die, they are willing.

When the first ray of sunshine in the eight years of Jian'an penetrated the thick clouds on Shitou Mountain and shone on the bustling streets of Jinling, in a corner of the crowded market, business was booming in front of the fortune-telling stall. The first thing that the people who had saved their money in the New Year thought of was to come early to get a first prize.

They came one by one with bulging wallets and infinite piety, and left with bubble-like longing.

In other people's seemingly unequal transactions, both parties who buy hope or sell hope seem so satisfied.

An excited expression appeared in front of a shop of "Shenju Liu". This is the shop of Liu Chun, the most famous "Shenju" in Jinling City. The original quizers set up a small stall on the corner of the street, pulling a half-new and old banner as a cover. Liu Chun, who can have his own independent store, can be said to be the first.

After Yu Ji's death, Liu Chun, who was already well-known, quickly filled the gap left by Yu Ji and promoted the reputation of "God" even more. "Pay money first, then test the characters" became Liu Chun's most golden signboard.

Since ancient times, there is nothing unique about the prime minister who is as awesome as Liu Chun.

Now, the new deputy military advisor Zhuge Liang is the backer of Liu Chun. Even if Liu Chun is a little more awesome, he believes that no one will choose to make trouble on Tai Sui.

In March, the willows are slim, and the spring in the south of the Yangtze River is early. Liu Chun's business is as good as usual, and the crowds who come to ask questions line up in a long queue.

"Liu Shenxian————You can test the business situation this year for me first!" A fat-headed businessman with a big belly squeezed through the long queue and went to the front. His immoral behavior immediately attracted everyone's scolding.

"What's the matter? If you don't want to calculate, just go back. Didn't you see the gods busy?" The two gangsters who were holding the door took over the benefits given by the fat man, shouted with their eyes slanted. Liu Chun was so popular that even the servants at the door became arrogant. The gangsters who were automatically delivered to the door were so angry that they all lowered their heads one by one, not daring to say a word.

No business is not good. If this year is still in the peaceful and prosperous era last year, the business in Jiangdong would be a profitable deal. This merchant with a northwest accent had long been determined to move his family to Danyang County. Compared with Yongliang, the land in Yangzhou is safe and profitable.

"Well, the profit was not as good as this year. According to the astrological signs, the King of Jinling's energy soared into the sky. It was a sign of astrological restraint. In a few months, the conquest will revive." Liu Chun shook his head for a while, then picked up the camphor wood sword and waved it around. Finally, he mysteriously called the fat man to the front and whispered.

After hearing this, the fat businessman's face changed drastically. After throwing the calculated deposit, he turned around quickly. Liu Chun's words just now meant that there will be a major military operation in Jiangdong this year. It is not very credible to say such a secret from Liu Chun, but due to the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Liu Chun, he had to consider it separately.

Northern Expedition - Northern Expedition, in the face of a series of military victories, the fanaticism of the people of Jiangdong has long been incited. The soldiers who returned from Yizhou and Jiaozhou battlefields were greeted by the admiration of their hometown girls when they were victorious and triumphant. This alone is enough for the young man who did not join the army to be jealous.
