"Heh, why don't you two talk?"

"Yang Yi, where did your chatter during the day go?"

"Where's your sword, Wei Yan? Why didn't you pull it out!"

Yang Yi and Wei Yan stood in the hall, bowed their heads, not daring to meet Liu Chan's gaze, and listened to His Majesty's admonition.

"Wei Yan, you are so courageous, you dare to threaten the big man Shangqing with a sword in public."

Liu Chan stood on the steps, looked at Wei Yan coldly, and said.

Wei Yan took a peek at the emperor's face, and whispered: "The minister was angry for a while, and he did this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yang Yi, what about you?" Liu Chan ignored Wei Yan, but looked at Yang Yi and asked.

"The subject is also at fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yang Yi raised her head and replied.

Liu Chan sneered and said, "Since both of you know your fault, that's fine."

After speaking, Liu Chan handed over the scarf on the case to the two of them, and said indifferently: "If there is no objection, you two will be ordered to leave!"

Wei Yan opened it, his expression changed suddenly, he raised his head to look at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult for a minister to take orders."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Yang Yi said palely.

Liu Chan looked at the two of them coldly, and said, "Why don't you two be transferred to King Anding (third younger brother Liu Li) as subjects? You have both a title and a generous salary. You can avoid the labor of paperwork and the hardship of war." , why not do it?"

Liu Chan transferred Wei Yan from the governor of Liangzhou to the lieutenant of Wang Anding to take charge of his military power, and Yang Yi transferred from the governor of the inner house to the inner history of the king of Anding to govern the people.As for the fiefdom, there is no such thing as Anding Wang Liuli has always been sick and in poor health.

This transfer is undoubtedly to allow Yang Yi and Wei Yan to retire and stay away from the center of political power of the big man.

"Could it be that the title is not high, and the salary is not rich?"

Liu Chan granted Yang Yi the title of Marquis of the Capital, and then rewarded 300 households as Wei Yan's food cities.

Wei Yan held the scarf tightly, and said anxiously: "That's not the case. I transferred to the lieutenant of King Anding. Who can take over the post of governor of Liangzhou!"

Standing on the steps, Liu Chan looked down at Wei Yan, and said sarcastically, "You think you are the only governor of Liangzhou?"

"Wu Ziyuan (Wu Yi), Wu Yuanxiong (Wu Ban), Ma Dexin (Ma Zhong), Wang Zijun, and Deng Shizai can all entrust important tasks."

After speaking, Liu Chan looked at Yang Yi and said, "Guan Anguo, Zhuge Bosong, Fei Wenwei, and Zhang Bogong (Zhang Yi) can take up the post of Changshi. I wonder what Yang Qing thinks?"

Yang Yi looked at the edict on the scarf and couldn't help being distracted, she opened her mouth and said, "I think..."

"What do you think?"

"Think that the big man can't do without the two of you?"

Yang Yi's eyes were red, and with a nasal voice, she said: "Isn't this the case with the minister's heart?"

"Why is that?"

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Everyone works for the country, not for fame, but for profit. Since the two of you have gained fame and fortune, you can pass it on to future generations. Why do you hesitate now? What?" Liu Chan asked.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were stunned.

Wei Yan's eyes were a little confused, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of serving the country.

At the beginning, he followed Liu Yuzhou just to find a living; later, as his official position got higher, he wanted to make contributions and secure his wife and son; now it seems that in order to revive the Han Dynasty, he also wants to go to the next level.

It seems that His Majesty has all the rewards, but I always miss something...

After being silent for a long time, Wei Yan knelt down and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, if I am transferred to be the lieutenant of Prince Anding, if I cannot serve for the Northern Expedition, I will be ashamed of Your Majesty, and I will have no face to see the late Emperor. I hope that Your Majesty thinks that I am despicable, and forgive me today." fault!"

Yang Yi was simpler. At that time, he didn't like the management of Fu Qun, the governor of Jingzhou in the Wei Dynasty.Now I am very comfortable under Zhuge Liang's management, and I feel that my talents have been brought into full play.If transferred to King Anding's internal history...

Yang Yi kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also the same. I am not willing to stabilize the internal history, but I am willing to be a knife and pen official of the inner government to accompany the army and do my best to help the Great Hanke restore the Central Plains!"

Liu Chan stared at the two of them for a long time, and seeing their sincerity, he let go and said in a slow tone: "During the Northern Expedition, the two of you were arguing everywhere, the Prime Minister forgives you as great talents, and can help the great man revive. Get along well, and can't bear to abandon one person, so you two are often not pursued. But I often have different opinions on this."

Liu Chan paced back and forth on the steps, and said in a deep voice: "When I was young, I often read "Zhuangzi", and it said: "He who is the world's husband, is he also ridiculed for being different from the horse herdsman? Just get rid of the one who harms the horse." This Yan Zhen quite agrees, so I hope you two can do it for yourself, and don't let the Prime Minister waste all his efforts!"

Zhuangzi's words mean that those who govern the world are no different from those who herd horses. They both eradicate the horses that endanger the horses.

In the combination of words, Liu Chan's implication is that Zhuge Liang cherishes your talents and cannot bear to punish you two.But I am different, I will eradicate the black sheep for the sake of the big man.

Sure enough, Wei Yan and Yang Yi's expressions were serious, and they couldn't help thinking of Liu Yan who "suicided" and Li Yan who was promoted to the chief minister because of his "merit against Wei".

Compared with Lao Liu who directly executed the minister, Liu Chan's method can't help but make people respect and fear.

"No!" Yang Yi replied fearfully.

Liu Chan was very indifferent, waved his hand and said: "Master Wen stays, Duke Wei retreats first."

"promise!"

In the hall, only Wei Yan was left standing alone.

"Master Wen, what are your plans for the conquest of the captives?" Liu Chan asked very modestly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan calmed down slightly, and said respectfully: "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I have made preparations for the conquest of the captives. Your Majesty wants to ask now?"

Liu Chan walked up to Wei Yan and said with a smile, "Chang Wen just arrived in Chengdu today, so I'm a little tired. It's best to rest tonight, and just wait for the edict to enter the palace tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your protection!" Wei Yan saluted.

"No need to be too polite! Did you blame me today?"

"I dare not!"

Liu Chan said in a gentle voice: "Qing is an important minister left to me by the late emperor, so I treat you very kindly. But today's dispute with Duke Wei is caused by him and intensified by you. Why are you so irritable when you are in charge of a state's soldiers and horses! How can I entrust my military affairs to you!"

Wei Yan said with shame on his face: "I am guilty of the crime. I have failed His Majesty's high hopes!"

Liu Chan took a bamboo slip from the case, handed it to Wei Yan, and said: "This is the "Tao Te Ching", I send it to you. I don't ask you to read this article well, but when you are free, you can copy it. With this sutra, calm your mind, and what happened today must not be repeated!"

Holding the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, Wei Yan's dissatisfaction with Liu Chan had long since disappeared, and he said emotionally: "I will learn from it in the future!"

Liu Chan patted Wei Yan's shoulder in relief, and told him to go back to rest.

As for whether Wei Yan can learn a lesson, Liu Chan naturally doesn't know, sending the Tao Te Ching is just an act of intimacy.After all, the way of employing people has been like this since ancient times, give a slap, and then feed a sugar.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang was comforting Yang Yi at this time.This is the tacit cooperation between Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang!
