[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 158

158 – Spring at the Academy (7)

When the Kwak family came to Xinya.

Cao Cao asked us to answer three questions, and we did our best to answer them from Yuan Shao’s perspective.

Condemn Cao Cao for responsibility for the Xuzhou Massacre.

Pretend to be bandits and send the army downstairs.

Yuan Shao’s child was killed by Cao Cao’s subordinates, so he sought bloody revenge for this incident.

First, bring the army down without any reason and occupy Heo Island.

By calling Cao Cao a traitor, he weakened his position in the government and kicked him out.

The current emperor does not have the legitimacy to lead one imperial family, so create two countries by appointing someone who can truly lead the imperial family.

– No, on the surface it seems like you care about the cause, but what do you do if you keep doing that?

-You can pretend that theft or something like that was committed by a subordinate.

-Won So-won will slit his subordinate’s throat with tears.

-Alas, unfortunately it was a personal deviation. And how great would it be if he took good care of the rest of his family?

We thought of many strategies and sent them to Cao Cao.

It may be a headache for Jojo to prepare for all of this, but at least it would be better to be prepared and have peace of mind than to have a headache thinking about this.

Although we may have felt a bit explicit, Jojo must have liked our actions.

So, Cao Cao sent two boxes of gold!

“I received two boxes of gold as a gift. What should I do with them?”

“Shall I donate to the academy?”

At Sima Hui’s words, I immediately jumped into the box and defended it.

“It doesn’t make sense. This is what our kids earned.”

“That’s right. This is a consulting fee for a country’s general seeking wisdom. It is separate from the academy.”

“I made a joke. Even if you don’t look so straight, I won’t take it away.”

Fortunately, we were able to protect the gold from Sima Hui and the academy.

This was possible because Jojo donated an appropriate amount of gold in the name of his daughter, ‘Joaman.’

“How should we divide this gold so that it will be known that we divided it well?”

“Master, let’s buy a few bottles of alcohol and split the rest between people!”

“Oh oh…!!”

Following Pang Tong’s perfect suggestion, I bought as much alcohol as I could with a piece of gold, and that day I closed the school and drank with Sima Hui, Sima Yi, Xu, Pang Tong, and Jin Jun.

“hahahahaha, get it wet!”

…

…

…

I have no memories after that.

And after waking up, I, who had been trying to open the school door, decided to just close it.

Class closed today.

… We had to take a day off from school without notice, but we were happy anyway.

With just a little brainpower, you can make so much money in the name of consulting fees!

What a way to work so little and earn so much!

I felt proud of the Sukyung Academy’s assets growing day by day.

But on the other hand, if there was something that made my heart heavy, it was that I couldn’t come up with a solution for the third topic that Jojo wanted – Seo Joo-mok.

-A famous person from Western Zhou who was able to work for Cao Cao’s army despite Cao Cao’s Western Zhou massacre.

They say they will nominate a person like this as the leader, but how can I find someone like this?

The hatred among the famous people from Western Zhou in Jingzhou was so strong that it was said that they would not even look towards the north where Cao Cao was located.

The moment Jojo’s name was mentioned to the general public, they either cursed him or viewed him unfavorably.

Looking at his actions now, he is a god of loyalty like no other in the world. Why did he do such a thing back then?

… is something that may or may not occur to one person out of ten.

The phrase ‘a b*tch to be killed by being splashed in sh*t’ was just childish nonsense.

In particular, those whose family members or relatives were killed by Cao Cao left Xinya and went further south as soon as they learned that I was friendly with famous people in Cao Cao’s army.

That is how great the antipathy of the people from Western Zhou toward Cao Cao was.

In the meantime, who would recommend Seojumok!

“Liang. You are from Xuzhou.”

“Yes. Is there anything you want to ask?”

“What about your uncle and the others?”

“You could say he’s a native of Xuzhou.”

there was.

In an unexpected place, we realized that someone quite close to us had such a condition.

So, I met with the person concerned, Zhuge Xuan, and told him about the situation.

“Me to Seojumok…?”

“That’s right, old man.”

“why?”

First of all, since I am the uncle of Zhuge Liang, whom I have as a disciple, and the head of the family, I told Zhuge Xian everything.

“Duke Cao wants to appoint a representative to rule over Western Zhou. However, the people of Western Zhou will not be caught up in war again. Of course, if an attack comes to Western Zhou, we will have to stop it, but there will not be many people who attack Western Zhou.”

“If the enemy attacks Seoju, it would be Seojumok’s job to block it, but that’s not what I’m curious about.”

Zhuge Hyeon asked me with a serious face.

“It’s not a problem for me to go to Xuzhou. If the Emperor tells me to go to Xuzhou, I have to go, and whether it’s Xia Feisang, Governor Xizhou, or the Governor of Xuzhou, I should accept it with a happy heart.”

“then….”

“What I care about is our gasols in Jingju land.”

“……..”

I could immediately understand Zhuge Hyeon’s feelings.

“Are you planning to go only for the elderly?”

“Yes. Seoju is still dangerous. You can’t just take young children to a place like that.”

The Zhuge clan’s people had just put down roots and settled down.

Some, like Zhuge Liang, were not yet married, but all of his older sisters were married and their children were now weaned and walking.

It is dangerous to take them to Xuzhou.

That’s something I fully understand.

“We have already decided to live in Jingzhou. If the Emperor has designated me directly, it is my duty as people living in this land to go to Xuzhou, but what will the Gasols do? Huh?”

Zhuge Hyeon was asking me for something.

“Huh, by the way. There are more than one or two things that bother me about going to Xuzhou…”

“I understand, old man.”

Since you offered the position of Seo Ju-mok, it seemed like you should offer something suitable.

“I will take responsibility.”

“Hoo?”

“I will take responsibility for the people of the Zhuge clan who remain in Jingzhou. Even if you leave Jingzhou, I will do my best to ensure that those who remain can live like they did in Xuzhou.”

“You mean…?”

“Literally, I take responsibility.”

Western Zhou can become a battlefield.

Since I ended up recommending Zhuge Xuan to a place like that – even if they encouraged me to persuade them – I must take responsibility for the consequences.

‘I already received two gold boxes from Jojo.’

Is this how Lu Bu felt when he received troops from Yuan Shu?

I started to feel sore deep inside my heart that I couldn’t close my mouth and take a gulp.

“Although I am an adopted child, I am a member of the Hwang and Chae families. Although I work as a student at a school, within the family, I act as the head of the family on behalf of the head of the family who is often away. Coincidentally, I own the land and the Jegal clan. Since the lands are adjacent, we will be able to live together next to each other.”

“hmm….”

Zhuge Xuan repeatedly folded and unfolded the fan for a long time.

I waited silently until Zhuge Hyun made his choice.

“Good.”

Finally, Zhuge Xuan finally made a decision.

“I will accept Seo Joo-mok.”

I was truly relieved.

Now the gold box that Cao Cao sent is mine.

“It may be said to be Cao Cao’s suggestion, but isn’t it an honorable position to directly help the people of Western Zhou? The Emperor himself even issued a teaching order. Failure to follow this would be disloyal.”

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

“There are conditions.”

“Please speak.”

“You said you would protect the people of my family while I was gone, right? An ordinary pact is not enough. A more certain and clear pact must be made.”

“Please speak.”

Zhuge Hyeon proposed to me with a serious face.

“Marry Liang.”

….

“…yes?”

“Why are you so surprised? Didn’t you already hear about it from your father? I met him once when I went to Xuzhou this time.”

“Are you saying you met me in Xuzhou?”

“Yes. I was chatting with the woman who was talking to me, so I exchanged greetings, and she told me that. It was heaven’s will for Hwang Wol-young to connect with Zhuge Liang. Coincidentally, the woman who was watching said that it was heaven’s will and that it was natural.”

I felt like I was going to lose my mind at Zhuge Hyeon’s words.

“No, really…?”

“Of course. What are you lacking? You’re smart, you’re capable, you have a good physique from farming, you have a lot of money, and you come from an excellent family.”

“I’m from Goa?”

“Considering that someone from Goa is now in this position, his abilities have already been proven.”

oh.

I dug my own grave.

“Above all, is there any other man in the world who can handle our weight other than you?”

“Can you handle it?”

“What’s the problem with Liang trusting and following you? It’s not like…you don’t like our Liang or anything like that, right?”

Zhuge Xuan held his brush upside down.

“Ah! I’m so anxious that I can’t leave Jingju. That’s a shame…”

“Oh, no! It’s an honor. To have a child like Liang as my wife.”

It’s an honor. Of course it’s an honor.

The thing that bothers me is that I can’t make a decision easily because I have already decided on marriage talks.

“I’m sorry, but I already have a wife…”

“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Now Noya Hwang is making every move. Normally, marriage is for the adults in the family, and the children just have to make eye contact, hold hands at night, and get married together.”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t you know?”

Zhuge Hyeon looked at me with pity and continued speaking.

From noble mtl dot com

“Noya Huang is sincerely interested in your marriage. As for the Sima lady you are worried about, as far as I know, Noya Huang has gone to Hanae.”

“…….”

“Hurry up, he said he wants to see his grandson. hahahahaha!!”

Hwang Seung-eon, this guy… !!
