Zhuge Liang Faked His Death? Then I'll Build the Strongest Shu Han!

In the fourth year of Jianxing, one year before Zhuge Liang set out on his northern campaign! He actually... died? Now that the Chancellor has passed away, doesn’t that mean Shu Han is mine to run, Yang Yi? I’ll establish my own office, carry on the Chancellor’s legacy, take control of the court, and become the Chancellor’s trusted regent. I’ll advance military technology, reform the economy, and build the strongest Shu Han. What Yang Yi doesn’t know is that Zhuge Liang only pretended to die to test the court officials while working on his Memorial on the Northern Expedition. But who could have imagined that all the officials in court would be no match for one Yang Yi? “You’re saying Yang Yi set up his own Chancellor’s office? Where did he get the power to do that?” “What? Yang Yi has over ten thousand elite troops under his command? He’s my chief clerk. How did I not know?” “Yang Yi is the richest man in all of Shu’s capital? Then why is he always asking me for money?” “The Memorial on the Northern Expedition recommends worthy officials? Who else could it recommend but Yang Yi?” Yang Yi, in the court, is a worthy and upright minister, loyal and pure in purpose, virtuous in conduct, well-versed in military affairs. Every matter of state, great or small, should be brought to him for consultation. He will surely restore the Han dynasty and unite all under heaven! “Wait, I just finished writing the Memorial on the Northern Expedition, and you’re telling me Yang Yi has already marched north to Luoyang?”
