Year 16 of Jian 'an, Year 211.
At that moment.
The remnants of the Battle of Red Cliff had already dissipated.
The Yangtze River was still the same Yangtze River.
However, in this world, there was no longer the handsome and handsome man from three years ago who could defeat Wei Wu with a smile.
June.
At the junction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the Xunyang section of the Yangtze River, a boat from Jiangdong was sailing upstream.
There were only one or two people on the deck.
"Father, send me here for the time being!”
"If we continue, we'll reach the border of the Jing state!”
"With the current tense relationship between the Sun and Liu families, the fact that my son is about to be adopted by my second uncle has already caused many people in Wu to discuss it in private. If you personally come to Jing Zhou and entrust me to my second uncle…"
"I'm afraid Sun Quan's expression won't be good!”
"Hehe, don't forget that the ruler of Jiangdong has never been a magnanimous person!”
Zhuge Yi calmly looked at the rolling Yangtze River in front of him and then looked at Liu Bei's navy that was slowly approaching to welcome him into Jingzhou. He turned around and said with a smile.
In his field of vision, there was a forty-year-old elder with a kind face and a short beard like a goatee.
The elder was Zhuge Jin, his father.
Or, more accurately speaking.
He was Zhuge Yi's father, who was born twelve years ago after he had transmigrated to the end of Han Dynasty…and had been reborn.
Then, it was obvious that the second uncle that Zhuge Yi was talking about was not just anyone. It was Zhuge Wuhou, the prime minister of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang, who had left a great reputation in history.
Looking at Zhuge Jin's description, Zhuge Yi was no longer as shocked as he was when he first transmigrated and was reborn. After twelve years of being together, it had long turned into an unbreakable warmth and kinship.
Opposite him.
As a father, Zhuge Jin listened to his eldest son Zhuge Yi's words, and the guilt on his face grew. He did not dare to look his eldest son in the eye.
After a long time, Zhuge Jin said with a complicated expression,""My son, your mind has matured since you were young.”
" However, I know better…"
"In this great war, you are more optimistic about Cao Cao, who is in love with the north. Now, I intend to adopt you to your second uncle as an adopted son. It is no different from asking you to serve Liu Bei.”
"Now!"
"You and I have no one else by our side. Tell me honestly, are you really willing to become your second uncle's adopted son?”
"If you're unwilling…"
Zhuge Jin looked straight into Zhuge Yi's eyes and said resolutely,""I can write a letter to your second uncle and choose to adopt Qiao 'er or Ke' er…"
"Father!" Before Zhuge Jin could finish his sentence, a loud voice interrupted him.
Zhuge Yi looked at his father, Zhuge Jin, who had stopped abruptly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Father, you don't have to comfort me like this, and you don't have to feel sorry for me!”
"The decision to become Second Uncle's adopted son and abandon Cao Cao for Liu was actually my own choice after serious consideration.”
"As for the reason…"
Zhuge Yi paused. His young face revealed a maturity that did not match his twelve-year-old age.
"Second Uncle has been serving Imperial Uncle Liu for many years, but he and Aunt Huang have never had a relationship.”
"For Second Uncle, who is extremely trusted by Imperial Uncle Liu, the fact that he has no successor has become a political flaw that cannot be ignored.”
"If this defect cannot be filled in time, in the future, as Imperial Uncle Liu's foundation and territory become more stable and expand, it will inevitably become a shackle for Second Uncle to rise to a high position.”
"The Human Lord likes capable subjects, but at the same time, the Human Lord prefers capable subjects who have family heirs!”
" Because only the hilt exists…"
"Only when the Lord uses his subordinates can he feel at ease and promote them to a high position without any worries.”
"Perhaps, Father, you will say that Imperial Uncle Liu is known for his benevolence and righteousness, so he would definitely not use such a 'despicable' method!”
"But…"
Zhuge Yi smiled faintly." Do you really dare to pat your chest and guarantee that when Xu Yuanzhi was forced by his mother's safety and had no choice but to defect to Cao Cao, Imperial Uncle Liu really didn't regret it?"”
"If he had brought Mother Xu to Xinye in advance, Xu Yuanzhi would not have left him without considering the consequences!”
He probably felt that his words were too dark and selfish…
Zhuge Yi smiled and continued,""In the near future, Father, you don't want the bet that the Zhuge Clan of Langya made on Imperial Uncle Liu to go down the drain with Second Uncle's old age, right?”
"If that's the case, if Imperial Uncle Liu takes over the world in the future and re-unites the Nine States, but there's no one in Second Uncle's line in the court, wouldn't our Zhuge Clan be doing useless work?!!!”
Although Zhuge Yi kept saying that Zhuge Liang had no successor, as a transmigrator, he knew one thing: Having no successors was just a matter of the present.
In the future, Zhuge Liang would not only give birth to Zhuge Zhan with his aunt Huang, but also Zhuge Huai and Zhuge Guo.
Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything about it.
Because even Zhuge Liang, who was involved in the matter, now thought that it was difficult for him to have a child and that it would be difficult for him to have a child.
It was because of this that Zhuge Liang had mentioned several times in his letters to Zhuge Jin that he had the intention to adopt him.
Under such circumstances.
If Zhuge Yi had confidently told his second uncle that Zhuge Liang would have two sons and a daughter in the future, it would have been too light to describe it as shocking.
In the arena.
Hearing his eldest son Zhuge Yi's words, the people who had passed their forties fell silent.
There was no other reason.
Zhuge Jin knew that his eldest son was right.
To adopt one of his sons and give it to his second brother Zhuge Liang was not only a matter between him and Zhuge Liang, but also a choice for the future of the entire Zhuge family in Langya to maximize their personal interests.
However, this alone was not enough to convince him.
Others might not understand how capable his eldest son was, but Zhuge Jin, as his father, knew.
This eldest son of his, who had declared that " Sun Liu would win and Cao Cao would lose " before the Battle of Red Cliff three years ago, was no less talented than his second brother, who was known as the Crouching Dragon.
It must be known that at the moment when the battle of Red Cliff had not yet been decided, the wise and resourceful Second Brother and the Heavenly Duke of Zhou had been worried that something would happen.
Based on this point alone, Zhuge Jin privately thought that it was not an exaggeration to call his eldest son the "Saint Child" of the Zhuge family in Langya.
Because of this, Zhuge Jin couldn't bear to see his " talented " eldest son suffer for the sake of the family. He took a deep breath and slowly said,""My son, I know what you're saying.”
"But, do you know…"
"If it were your brother Zhuge Qiao or Zhuge Ke who became the adopted son of your second uncle, he would also be able to make up for the political flaws you mentioned.”
"Do you know…"
"Once you become his adopted son, your light will be overshadowed by him, and you will live under his influence for the rest of your life.”
"No matter what your talents and achievements are, when others mention your name, they will only say that you are the adopted son of Zhuge Liang, not Zhuge Yi.”
"My son, do you know about this?!!!”
When he was about to get emotional, Zhuge Jin quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on Zhuge Yi's shoulder.
His behavior had completely lost the demeanor of a famous scholar in Jiangdong.
Seeing this, Zhuge Yi smiled.
In the next moment.
"Father, I know all this." He chuckled softly.”
"But, what does that matter?”
"As long as I do better than him, his light won't be able to stop me!”
P.S. In history, Zhuge Jin had adopted his son Zhuge Qiao to Zhuge Liang as his adopted son, and the identity of the protagonist was set to be the elder brother of Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Ke.
I see that some readers keep reminding me that the main character is the eldest son and cannot be adopted, but have you ever thought that the main character is the one who takes the initiative! (A transmigrator has to be special.)
In addition, Zhuge Liang had a son when he was 46 years old. Three years after the Red Cliff war, Zhuge Liang was only 30 years old. At that time, he really did not have a son!
