But after thinking about it, Yuan Yao felt relieved.
What kind of person is Zhuge Liang?
He is an example of a minister who works hard and even to the death!
He is an all-around civil and military talent who is as meticulous as dust and takes care of everything!
They are extraordinary talents who can turn all available conditions around them into their own advantages!
Although this boy is only fifteen years old, he is far from being a complete talent.
But Zhuge Liang has already possessed some of the qualities he should possess.
"So good!"
"The Lu family donated tens of thousands of grains and rice for my military supplies, and also abandoned their ancestral property in the fertile land in Dongcheng. The orphans and widows came with me to this remote place in a foreign land. The sacrifice is not a small one!"
"Come here, take my general's talisman and go to Shangliao to find Liu Fu. I will tell you that I will reward the Lu family with 100 hectares of farmland, 10,000 dendrobium grains, 500,000 yuan, and a house. Let him handle it."
"Gan Ning spent his personal wealth, rewarded his soldiers, and stabilized the morale of the army. He is also a meritorious person."
"Come here, take this general's token and go to Nanchang to find Huang Yi. Let him select ten boxes of treasures, jade and silk from the general's treasury, and give Gan Ning 500,000 yuan as a token of his service."
The two horsemen bowed their heads, got on their horses and rode away.
Zhuge Liang flattered Yuan Yao at the right time: "The general will not forget the ministers who have hidden merits, and will reward them generously. I believe that all the civil and military personnel under his command will follow suit in the future. By then, everyone will forget their own interests, and the general will accomplish great things!"
"They deserve all of this. If it's more, I'll pay them back the interest, not a generous reward."
Yuan Yao scratched his head and pretended to be humble and generous, but in fact he was happy in his heart.
Let me hear, who is flattering me?
It turns out to be Zhuge Liang!
Now that I have Wolong, I can rule the world!
Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Yuan Yao's lips, Zhuge Liang knew that the time was right.
"These are troubled times, and it's the right time to recruit people. The general is famous in Jianghuai, and there are many talented people coming to join him. I don't think of myself, but I also want to recommend someone to the general."
At this time, he happened to reach the door of the inn. Zhuge Liang took the lead and stopped in front of Yuan Yao to greet him.
"You want to recommend talents for me?"
Yuan Yao opened his mouth wide and his eyes were round, looking straight at Zhuge Liang.
what happened?
Has my tyranny awakened?
Zhuge Kongming not only gave me advice and suggestions, but also recommended talents to me?
What have I done recently, and what benefits can I give him?
I tricked him today. Could it be that this kid has masochistic tendencies and my previous thinking was wrong. I should force Zhuge Liang to force him and trick him into working for me?
I remember Liu Bei’s experience was not like this!
"Xiao Zhuge, just tell me, who do you want to recommend?"
"Pang Tong? Xu Shu?"
"Or Meng Jian? Shi Tao?"
?
Zhuge Liang was puzzled, thinking who are these people? I know?
But on the surface, Zhuge Liang still had a humble attitude: "The one I want to recommend is my brother!"
"Zhuge Jin?"
Yuan Yao reacted immediately.
"Last time you said you would fix a book for him, and now he is willing to come to my place?"
Zhuge Liang's posture at this time was very low, as if he was asking for help: "That's natural. The young general is famous in the Jianghuai River and sits on the right side of the Yangtze River. My brother recently traveled to the Jianghuai River to study, and he heard the general's name like thunder, and he has fallen in love with him. Long."
"My brother wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he has arrived in Songyang and will be able to cross the river soon."
Yuan Yao's breathing became rapid, not because Zhuge Jin was about to surrender.
It's because the signal Zhuge Liang released couldn't be more obvious!
Are all the Zhuge brothers going to surrender to me?
In the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the Zhuge family was so powerful that they wanted to bet on themselves?
More than just betting!
Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister and father-in-law of the Shu Han Dynasty; Zhuge Jin, the future general and Zuo Duhu of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and the father of Zhuge Ke, a powerful minister; all of them should be his subordinates?
If we add Zhuge Xuan's infant son, Zhuge Dan will be the future general of Cao Wei's expedition to the east and the governor of Yangzhou.
Langya Zhuge's This is not a bet, this is a stud!
Am I really the chosen one?
It makes no sense to explain otherwise!
After swallowing, Yuan Yao said excitedly: "Let him come, I'll be available at any time!"
Zhuge Liang felt something was wrong.
Things seemed to be developing in a direction beyond my expectation.
Promoting virtuous people and avoiding relatives is one of the principles of official appointment in today's world.
There is an article in "The Book of the Later Han: Biography of Cai Yong": "In the beginning, the imperial court considered the states and counties to be party-minded, and the relationships between people were close, and this was to restrict marriage, family, and family affairs. People from the two states were not allowed to face each other, and finally there were three mutual laws. Confidentiality is taboo and difficult to choose.
This paragraph records the "Three Mutual Laws" established since the time of Emperor Huan, that is, locals are not allowed to be local governors, marriage families are not allowed to supervise each other, and people who are related by blood or marriage are not allowed to be officials in the same department or region.
In addition to these explicit rules, there are other unwritten rules. For example, blood relatives of the same clan cannot recommend each other.
Especially the mutual recommendation between brothers, uncles and nephews! The most vulnerable to criticism from the world!
Of course, these old-fashioned and decadent rules and regulations are not recognized by everyone in the world.
The enlightened ideas of "do not avoid relatives when promoting talents", "appoint people on their merits", "do not avoid enemies when promoting externally, and do not avoid relatives when promoting internally" have also won the support and recognition of many people.
However, as a high-ranking member of a wealthy family like Yuan Yao, as a superior person with vested interests, he is often a supporter of old-fashioned laws.
So now, Yuan Yao should be very disgusted with his behavior of recommending his brother!
But it doesn’t look like it at all!
Didn't I express it clearly enough?
"Major General, maybe you didn't hear clearly just now, but the person I want to recommend is my brother Zhuge Jin!"
Yuan Yao: "I know, I know, you told me! Zhuge Jin, I know!"
Zhuge Liang increased his voice: "Not only does his surname include Zhuge like me, he is also my brother!"
"Not a cousin or a clan brother, he is my biological brother, my biological brother from the same father and mother!"
Yuan Yao picked his ears: "I heard it all. I know more about Zhuge Jin than you..."
"Ah no, I mean, I know Zhuge Jin better than you..."
"That's not right, no matter what, just let him come to me and I will reuse him!"
Zhuge Liang felt heavy in his chest, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
I'm showing you kindness today, but it's not because I really want to get closer to you and be your little adviser!
It's my strategy of trying to make peace with my situation, and using advancement as a retreat!
First, I will give you Yuan Yao a few tricks to make you happy. Then I "exposed" my "original intention" of seeking an official position for my brother, poured cold water on you when Yuan Yao was the happiest, and directly changed your impression of me!
That's right, I just want you Yuan Yao to feel from today on that I, Zhuge Liang, am not a pure and pure person, but a flattering person who is greedy for vanity and eager for quick success!
Since you like people like Lu Su and Gan Ning who forget their own interests, I will be a person who pretends to be public and helps others!
As long as you have a dislike for me and change your impression of me, you will definitely gradually alienate me from now on, and you will not really use my brother Zhuge Jin!
From now on, I will quietly be a proton, never stand out, and slowly fade out of your sight, Yuan Yao.
Until then, I will find a way to escape with my uncle.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to serve!
I, a member of the Zhuge clan, must choose my own master!
No, I still have to make Yuan Yao feel disgusted with me today!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and decided to add another fire!
