"Are you Zhuge Liang? Okay, okay, come up and show me clearly... You have a very good face. The heaven is full, the earth is round, and the features are clear. You will have a future like Guan Zhong and Le Yi in the future!" "
Above the lobby of Luyang County Temple, the first meeting between the young emperor Liu Xie and the young Zhuge Aliang sparked a collision. Liu Xie ignored Liu Qi. When he saw little Zhuge, he called him to him, and then he looked at it carefully for a while... The more he looked at it, the more he liked it! Look at how high his forehead is. He doesn’t have an IQ of 140 or 50, so he wouldn’t dare to have such a forehead!
Look at this appearance again. His face is like a crown of jade, his lips are like greased lips, his figure is tall, and his facial features are clear. It’s hard not to be a celebrity with someone like this!
Zhuge Liang was also a little confused by the enthusiasm and praise of the young emperor Liu Xie. Although he had always had a high self-esteem and compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi when bragging with his classmates and friends such as Pang Tong and Xiang Lang, he was still A young man who is studying. Why did he fall in love with a young emperor about the same age as him? What does this emperor mean? Could it be that he didn't have any confidants around him, so he wanted to keep him as an official?
As expected of Zhuge Liang, he was able to deceive Liu Xie instantly.
But Zhuge Liang didn't want to hang out with the little emperor. He also wanted to return to Xiangyang to continue studying!
But before he could refuse, Liu Xie spoke: "Zhuge Liang, do you want to become an official in the court? After all, buying an official position is not the right way. How about I let Taiwei Yang promote you as a talented person!"
When Zhuge Liang heard Liu Xie's offer, he didn't know how to refuse it! That's a great talent promotion! Maocai is much more valuable than Xiaolian. Xiaolian is a "county exam", while Maocai is a "state exam"...a state can only hold one exam per year! In addition, the three princes in the imperial court can also recommend a talented person every year.
And among the Zhuge family in Langya, where Zhuge Liang was born, there has never been a talented person! If Zhuge Liang can be promoted as a talented person, or if the emperor personally helps him to clear up relationships and be promoted to a talented person, it means that the Zhuge family's family status can be improved to a higher level.
Although Zhuge Liang really wanted to be this talented person, he also knew that his knowledge and reputation were not worthy of being a talented person. If he really wanted to become one, he would be criticized by the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world. So he hurriedly bowed his head and declined sincerely: "The Tian family, I am young and weak, and I am still studying in Xiangyang. How can I be worthy of the name of a talented person? Please take back my life from the Tian family..."
"By the way," Liu Xie nodded, "I'm still studying with Mr. Shui Jing..."
Then I can’t let you go! Liu Xiexin said: Pang Tong and Xu Shu are both your classmates! I'll get you done first, and then I'll ask you to recommend Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Sima Hui. With Fulong, Fengchu, and Sima assisting me, won't the future of the Emperor of Luoyi be stable? Let’s work together in Luoyang from now on!
Thinking of this, Liu Xie smiled and said: "Yang Wenxian is the successor of Mr. Si Zhi, and his family has a long history. He is about to become a Taifu. You can study with Yang Wenxian with me. After you have achieved success in your studies and become famous all over the world, I will arrange for three more You will be recognized as a talented person by public promotion, is that enough?"
The text was first written in the name of Taiwei Yang Biao. Liu Xie planned to replace his Taiwei with Taifu after a while, and then grant Taiwei to Yuan Shao. However, Liu Xie had never thought about becoming Yang Biao's disciple before. It was not because Yang Biao was not knowledgeable, but because Yang Biao had a junior brother named He Jin (and another junior brother named Wang Lang), who was Liu Xie's enemy. ...But today, in order to win over Zhuge Liang, I don’t have to worry about so much. Let He Jin be my uncle. He would have died a long time ago anyway!
Zhuge Liang heard that the emperor wanted to make him a classmate and a disciple of Hongnong Yang Biao. He couldn't refuse for a while, otherwise he would look down on the Hongnong Yang family... so he turned back to Liu Qi for advice.
Of course Liu Qi hoped that Zhuge Liang could stay with the emperor to explore the secrets of the "Book of Heaven", so he nodded and said: "Liang Taiwei is a world-famous scholar. If you can study with him, A Liang, you will definitely achieve success in Confucian classics in the future." ! Ah Liang, this is a rare opportunity!"
"Okay!" Liu Xie rushed to speak without waiting for Zhuge Liang's agreement, "Zhuge Liang, then I will recruit you as a lieutenant first!"
Liu Qi looked back at Zhuge Liang, who was confused, and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, it is your blessing that the emperor likes you for your appearance, so just accept the order and thank him!"
Fancy... looks?
Why does this sound so awkward? Can this Liu Qi speak? I never judge a book by its cover... If you don’t believe me, call Pang Tong over and try!
"I, Zhuge Liang, thank the Tian family for their kindness!"
The little emperor Liu Xie just wanted to explain a few words, but Zhuge Liang took the order first and thanked him.
After thanking him, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Xie again: "To be honest with the Tianjia, I came to the Tianjia this time to ask for the post of governor of Yuzhang on behalf of my uncle Zhuge Yinyi. If the Tianjia can help my uncle, I can bring peace to the Tianjia." With the opportunity in Yuzhang, I will naturally be able to serve the Tian family with peace of mind."
There are also conditions!
Liu Xie thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Ah Liang, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your uncle Zhuge Yinyi to pacify Yuzhang County!" As he spoke, he took out an abacus and pulled it a few times, "If I'm not wrong, If so, Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, will die next year, and then Sun Bofu will launch a large-scale attack on Yuzhang...Boyu, why don't you give Zhuge Yinyi another place to be the county guard?"
What? Does this mean Liu Yao is gone? real or fake? Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to look back at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was also surprised - if Liu Yao disappeared, wouldn't Yangzhou's pastoral position be vacant? Who is going to take this position? Sun Ce is a native of Yangzhou. According to the "Three Mutual Laws", a native cannot be a local official, so it is impossible for him to be a state shepherd. And if the emperor's calculation is correct, Yuan Shu will arrogantly proclaim himself emperor next year, and naturally he will not be able to become the shepherd of Yangzhou. Then who can be the shepherd or governor of Yangzhou? Can I do it?
In addition, no matter who becomes the shepherd of Yangzhou, it is impossible to take office in the territory of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce... Then he can only take office in the territory of Yuzhang County controlled by Zhuge Xuan!
Liu Qi had made up his mind, so he said to Liu Xie: "Tianjia, I think it's better to let Zhuge Yinyi give it a try...my father can give 20 million! In addition, I ask Tianjia to give Liu Zhengli issued a decree to reconcile him with Zhuge Yinyi, and set aside several counties in Yuzhang County, including Chaisang, for Zhuge Yinyi to garrison."
"This way... that's okay!" When Liu Xie heard that there was money available, he no longer insisted on his opinion... although he still felt that Zhuge Xuan was in trouble in Yuzhang County! But Zhuge Xuan is not important, what is important is Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong!
...
"Dezu, Gongming, Mingshan, Jiuqian...Dong Ji, come here, I will introduce you to you, this is Zhuge Liang, the doctor I just recruited, the nephew of Zhuge Prefect of Yuzhang!"
In the backyard of the Lushan County Temple, when the young emperor Liu Xie pulled Zhuge Liang in, a group of people inside were hurriedly putting saddles and reins on the horses. Dong Ji is responsible for teaching, and Yang Xiu, Xu Huang, and Feng Qi are responsible for learning. Now they can start to saddle and rein the horses. There is also Xi Jiuqianshang who has been resurrected and is not yet good at it. He can't get started. He can only stand there with a cane and watch others play with it.
Upon hearing the little emperor's call, several people immediately came over to salute.
The little emperor waved to them, making them all lie flat, and then began to introduce Zhuge Liang one by one, "Ah Liang, this is Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, the son of our future teacher Yang Wenxian, who is also our senior brother. Got it!"
When Yang Xiu heard this, he didn't know whether to be surprised or surprised: "Tianjia, are you going to be my father's student with this little brother Zhuge?"
"Yes!" Liu Xie laughed, "It's destined...I just calculated it!"
Calculate it? Yang Xiu thought about it, that must be accurate!
Yang Xiu immediately smiled and said to Liu Xie: "Tianjia, I will first thank my father for my kindness."
Liu Xie nodded, then pointed at Xu Huang, Feng Qi, and Xi Jiuqian and said to Zhuge Liang: "A Liang, this is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming. This is Fengqi and Fengming Mountain. This is Xi Jiuqian... They They are all brave enough and are my fierce generals!"
Zhuge Liang looked at the three big men from Hedong and quickly bowed to them. Xu Huang, Feng Qi, and Xi Jiuqian also returned the gift.
"This is Dong Ji," Liu Xie pointed at Dong Guiren and said, "My noble lady, the daughter of General Wei... You may not think she is a woman, but she is skilled in bow and horse, and she is a hero among women! "
"Skilled with bow and horse?" Zhuge Liang looked at Dong Ji, she was just a... heroic young lady, but she didn't look like she was skilled with bow and horse! Don't those who are skilled in bow and horse have to have a body like Xu Huang, Feng Qi, and Xi Jiuqian? The two thighs do not have the strength of several hundred kilograms, so it is impossible to clamp the running horse with both hands free! Are Dong Ji's thighs so strong?
Dong Ji was embarrassed by Liu Xie's words, and said with a smile: "Tianjia, look at what you said, how can I be a hero among women? I am just proficient in horse riding and archery. I am far behind you in Tianjia." ! The reason why I can ride and shoot is because the high-bridge saddle and double-sided stirrups invented by Tianjia are so easy to use. They can allow beginners like me to shoot arrows while riding steadily on a running horse. .”
"Is this happening?" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this. He immediately realized the value of these high-bridge saddles and double-sided stirrups!
As a son of a noble family in Langya County and a student of Xiangyang Academy, he was naturally a man of literary and military talents. Today's social security is quite bad. If Zhuge Liang really had no martial ethics, how could he dare to live in the countryside of Nanyang County? Where do you dare to travel? When he encountered someone who was robbing someone's house or blocking the road, he wouldn't even wait for Liu Xuande to come and "check on him"!
However, throughout his life, Zhuge Liang's martial arts and equestrian skills never reached the level of being able to ride and shoot... After all, he was just a "Zhuge village man", not a "Zhuge warrior".
But if the high-bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups allow him to master mounted archery easily, then the mounted archery will be ruined! what does that mean?
Liu Xie smiled proudly and said to Zhuge Liang: "Ah Liang, I can't guarantee anything else, but this high bridge saddle and double stirrups." He then pointed to the next white horse that had been saddled and bridleled. Horseshoe, "And this horseshoe, it must be useful! If you don't believe it, you can try it now!"
Liu Xie was not bragging. He was indeed very confident about high-bridge saddles, bilateral stirrups, and horseshoes. He has been a veterinarian at a Beijing zoo for so many years, and is still very familiar with these things - the zoo has an entertainment project called "Horse Riding and Walking"! When he first went to the zoo to save lives and heal the wounded, he often rode a horse to play!
And he also knows the value of the high bridge saddle, double-sided stirrups, and horseshoes to the cavalry! Now it is time to train Zhuge Liang first. This man is one of the ten sages of the Martial Temple. Of course, among the ten sages of the Martial Temple, he should be able to dominate the battlefield with a white horse and a silver spear! Zhuge Liang in history was indeed very strong in military affairs, but in terms of military strategy, he was inferior to Han Xin, Bai Qi, Wu Qi, Le Yi, Sun Wu and others who were also among the top ten philosophers. However, Zhuge Liang's learning ability should be very strong, and it shouldn't be too late to start training him now.
Thinking that Zhuge Liang's future was promising, Liu Xie ordered: "Mingshan, bring this white horse over and let A Liang try it. Gongming, get a halberd for A Liang! A Liang, you must be my first He must be a halberd-wielding doctor...that was Han Xin’s first official position!”
