Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 461 Meteorite
At night, the stars and rivers are clear, the north wind sweeps through Guanzhong, and the flags are flying.

In the camp, Liu Chan knelt on the couch, and under the light of an oil lamp, he read the summary of domestic political affairs submitted by Jiang Wan.

Seeing Jiang Wan's official document recommending Fei Shi, Liu Chan held a brush and couldn't write for a long time.

Fei Shi, courtesy name Gongju, has the same surname as Fei Yi, but they are not of the same clan.Fei Shi Naiqian was from Nan'an County, while Fei Yi was from Jiangxia.

In the past, Lao Liu entered Yizhou and sent troops to Mianzhu County. Fei Shi, who was the magistrate of Mianzhu County at that time, surrendered all over the city.Lao Liu led the Yizhou herdsman himself, took Fei Shi as the military governor, and later served as the prefect of Zangke County, and then transferred to the Sima of the front of Yizhou, where he was very favored.

When Lao Liu became king of Hanzhong, he appointed the four generals before, left, left, and rear. It was Fei Shi who went to pay homage to Guan Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, as the former general, and advised Guan Yu to take over the seal, not to accept Huang Zhong's reason.

When Lao Liu wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Fei Shi objected, thinking that Cao Cao and Cao Pi were not destroyed, and now they took the lead in proclaiming emperor, fearing that people in the Central Plains would be confused.Take the examples of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu together.At the beginning, the two agreed to defeat the king of Qin first, and Gaozu conquered Xianyang and captured Ziying, but Liu Bang still gave way and did not become king.Now that Lao Liu is still under the door of the Han Dynasty, it is not a wise move to want to stand on his own.In a rage, Lao Liu moved him left to Yongchang County to work.

During Zhuge Liang's period, after the Southern Expedition, Fei Shi was reused.However, when Zhuge Liang wanted to unite with Meng Da, Fei Shi objected again, thinking that Meng Da was a repeat villain, so it was unbelievable.After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was silent and did not express his opinion.After that, Fei Shi basically disappeared from Zhuge Liang's side and did not serve as an official in the inner mansion.

Now that Jiang Wan is in power in the capital, he wants to bring Fei Shi into the imperial court as an admonisher.Think of admonishing ministers, rectifying the monarch's wrongs, admonishing gains and losses.The selection and appointment of admonishing officials in the Shu Han was mostly based on erudition and Confucianism. That is to say, although Fei Shi entered the central government, he was still not an important minister, far worse than when he was favored in the past.

Fei Shi's talent far exceeds the duty of admonishing a doctor, and it will be difficult for him to play this role.Therefore, Liu Chan wanted to make him an important minister, but he had to consider carefully because of Zhuge Liang.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Chan finally stood up, put on his woolen jacket, and was about to go out of the tent to find Zhuge Liang.Fei Shi is worth a trip for him, to understand Zhuge Liang's heart, and to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

But when he arrived in front of Zhuge Liang's camp, Zhuge Liang was nowhere to be seen.

The Chinese official in the account said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister said that there will be a meteorite tonight (Note [-]), and now I am going to watch the sky at night."

"Looking at the sky at night, watching the shooting stars. My father-in-law really has the leisure to watch the shooting stars at night." Liu Chan muttered in his heart, and under the guidance of his attendants, he came to the slope.

I saw Zhuge Liang holding a white feather fan, looking up at the bright galaxy in the sky, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.And Zhuge Qiao beside him looked at the sky in confusion, not knowing why.

Liu Chan, who originally wanted to shout, also waved his hand, signaling to everyone not to disturb Zhuge Liang.Liu Chan stepped lightly and stood beside Zhuge Liang, trying to follow his gaze to search for the stars, but found nothing.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang murmured: "Here we come!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, a meteor streaked across the dark night sky and fell to the east.

Zhuge Liang searched for Taibai, Taiyi, Nandou and other stars in the night sky again, and said: "Bo Song, hold the lamp on the picture."

"promise!"

Zhuge Qiao took out a map of 28 constellations from his bosom, and was about to ask others to spread it out together.But Liu Chan pulled the map of constellations away with one hand, beckoning Zhuge Qiao to be quiet in surprise, not to disturb Zhuge Liang.The attendants pulled up curtains in the direction of the wind to block the strong wind; others lit oil lamps to hold the lamps for Zhuge Liang.

Under the flickering firelight, Zhuge Liang pointed to Taibai and Nandou on the picture, looked up and looked in the direction where the meteorite fell.

Zhuge Liang pinched his fingers and muttered: "On the first month of Yihai, the moon offends Zhenxing, Taibai offends Nandou, and meteorites fall to the east."

When he read this, Zhuge Liang's complexion changed, and he exclaimed: "The minister will endanger the king!"

"What?" Liu Chan asked without responding.

Hearing Liu Chan's familiar voice, Zhuge Liang calmed down, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, forgive me for being far away."

Liu Chan helped Zhuge Liang up, and said, "It's okay, Xiangfu is not polite. I don't know what Xiangfu said?"

Zhuge Liang straightened his back, waved his hands and said in a cold voice: "Bo Song, you and everyone are waiting fifty steps away, and those who eavesdrop will be killed."

"promise!"

Zhuge Qiao led the crowd away obediently, and Yubayashi Wei also left under Liu Chan's signal.

Zhuge Liang looked at the east in the night sky and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know the meteorite?"

"I don't know!"

"Meteorites are stars. Stones are Yin species. They are not good omens, but bad omens. In the spring and autumn of the past, stars fell in the Song Dynasty, and Song Xianggong would win the princes but not end. In Qin, there were meteorites falling to the ground, and the first emperor died and the land was divided." .If the stone falls to the east, Wei will prosper, but will also perish." Zhuge Liang explained.

Liu Chan was a little puzzled and asked, "Since that's the case, what does Xiangfu mean when he said 'the minister will endanger the king'?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said slowly: "Nandou is the order of the Son of Heaven. It is unlucky for Taibai to violate it. In addition, seeing Taibai today is a sign of disobedience."

As he said that, Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Junying, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the dark night of more than a hundred miles, and said in a deep voice: "Wei lives in the Central Plains, and the meteorite falls to the east, and he will perish. , Taibai committed Nandou, and the emperor died at the hands of his subordinates."

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Chan immediately thought of the Western Jin usurping Cao Wei and Sima Zhao killing Wei Emperor in the street, and goose bumps on his skin couldn't help standing up.

Surprised and delighted, Liu Chan tentatively asked, "Does Xiangfu know when it will happen?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled in astonishment, thinking that Liu Chan believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and explained: "I am not a god, so how can I know the future. Now I use meteorites to predict the future, but it is just an act in leisure time, so don't be biased. I, a big man, also need to strengthen myself before I can enter the Central Plains, it depends on you!"

'Trust me you ghost! '

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to Lao Liu, saying in the letter that he calculated the number of Taiyi himself, that this year is Guisi, Gangxing and Taibai are in the west;Sure enough, Pang Tong was shot to death in Luocheng.

Zhuge Liang is able to understand yin and yang, has a military strategy, researches utensils, combines the three in one, and decides the strategy of the world. He claims that he is a military master with no shame!
Zhuge Liang skipped this topic and asked: "Your Majesty is looking for ministers late at night, but I have something important to ask."

Liu Chan tightened his coat, and said: "I want to order Fei Gongju (Fei Shi) to be an admonishing doctor. I am afraid that I will violate the order of the late emperor, so I am here to ask the father of the government."

Liu Chan directly turned this problem into his relationship with Lao Liu, and he did not want to involve Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan, so as to reduce the occurrence of conflicts.

Zhuge Liang pondered a little, and said: "Since there are talents in the public examination, it is reasonable for your majesty to appoint him. It's just that I think that the talent of the public examination is not limited to advising and advising the doctor. Your majesty can think deeply about it before promoting it. I have no objection."

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang's face, and tentatively said, "It's better to be promoted to Gongyan's side, as Gongyan's assistant in governing."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and raised the corners of his mouth lightly, knowing that Fei Shi should be recommended by Jiang Wan, but he was worried about his past actions, so he didn't dare to report directly to himself, but forwarded the report to His Majesty.I hope His Majesty will come forward to test my attitude.

With the help of the faint light in the night sky, Zhuge Liang walked on the downhill path, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objections."
