Zhuge Jin came at this time and asked to see him alone. Liu Zhang didn't have much doubts.
It has been so long since the war ended, and the news about Xiaoting has already spread in Chengdu.
Zhuge Jin asked to see him, and Liu Zhang was able to guess his intention.
Especially when he heard that Zhuge Jin was kneeling outside the door, Liu Zhang was even more convinced.
Obviously, for the sake of the second brother Zhuge Liang.
Liu Zhang did not send someone to tell Zhuge Jin to come in, but went to the door himself.
Even if he sent someone to tell him, Zhuge Jin didn't dare to get up.
"Tzuyu, it's so late, what are you doing?"
Zhuge Jin ignored the coldness of the ground and pressed his forehead tightly against the ground.
"I am reporting to the Duke of Qin that I have committed a crime. Please punish the Duke of Qin!"
"Tzuyu, your achievements in governing the states and counties are well known to everyone. What crime do you have?"
Liu Zhang stepped forward personally and reached out to help Zhuge Jin.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin was extremely persistent and refused to get up at all.
"Mr. Qin, Wei Chen's younger brother planned the fire and almost killed Duke Qin. Wei Chen is also guilty!"
"Hey, Tzuyu, what are you talking about?"
"Is it possible that you are such a dim-witted person in your heart?"
Historically, after the Battle of Yiling broke out, Sun Quan did not alienate Zhuge Jin in the slightest.
Isn't Liu Zhang worse than a little Sun Zhongmou?
After another tug, Zhuge Jin was forcibly dragged up by Liu Zhang.
"Wei Chen really has no face to face Duke Qin..."
Liu Zhang could feel that Zhuge Jin was not just showing off to him.
A somewhat dull person like Zhuge Jin couldn't do that kind of thing.
"Tzuyu, Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, and you are you!"
"Although you are brothers, you are each your own master. You can't force Zhuge Liang's mistakes on you, right?"
Even though Liu Zhang said this, Zhuge Jin still couldn't let go.
After learning the dangerous truth about the Xiaoting Fire, Zhuge Jin almost fainted from fright.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if the fire plan was not seen through!
"Mr. Qin, I want to apologize to Gong Qin on behalf of my younger brother Zhuge Liang!"
With that said, Zhuge Jin knelt down again.
However, he was directly dragged down by Liu Zhang and could not go down at all.
"Ziyu, what I say is from my heart!"
"Don't say this is a great victory for us. Even if an army of 50,000 is destroyed in the hands of Zhuge Liang, it will still be incompetent. What does it have to do with you?"
Zhuge Jin was already in great shame, and Liu Zhang's words made him burst into tears.
"Hey! Qin Gong has been very kind to my Zhuge family, and I will never be able to repay you even if I die!"
"I didn't expect that my brother was so stupid that he actually became an enemy of Duke Qin. I feel ashamed in my heart beyond words!"
More than ten years ago, Liu Zhang made a detour to Taishan County and personally presided over the funeral of Zhuge Jin's mother.
In Zhuge Jin's opinion, this is a great favor to the Zhuge family!
It’s okay if you don’t repay a great favor, but you never expected to repay a favor with a hatred!
Even if Liu Bei put the knife on Zhuge Liang's neck, he should not have devised such a vicious plot!
He never thought that Zhuge Liang, who had been influenced by knowledge since childhood, would do such an ungrateful thing!
"Ziyu, you... Gudu don't know how to prove yourself!"
Liu Zhang was really helpless.
Why is it that Zhuge Jin refuses to listen despite all the good talk?
It was as if he had done something wrong!
Liu Zhang couldn't get angry yet. After all, Zhuge Jin was ashamed of what Zhuge Liang had done.
"Mr. Qin!"
Without Liu Zhang paying attention, Zhuge Jin took half a step back and bowed to the ground again.
"Qin Gong, my younger brother Zhuge Liang is under Liu Bei's command. If I am still in Yizhou, I will inevitably attract criticism."
"I beg Duke Qin to transfer my minister, even if I am just a servant beside Duke Qin, I will have no regrets!"
Liu Zhang was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Zhuge Jin was really selfless!
Zhuge Jin's current official position is with Yizhou Biejia. Although he is in the rank, he is directly under Biejia.
Biejia was the highest chief executive besides Liu Zhang, the Yizhou Mu.
Therefore, Zhuge Jin seems to be engaged, but in fact his status is much higher than that of ordinary engaged people.
At present, the Qin Dynasty has three states: Yizhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
Since Yizhou Mu was concurrently held by Liu Zhang and Liu Zhang was not in Yizhou, Yizhou Biejia exercised his right to be the governor of Yizhou.
So the highly trusted and valued Yizhou Biejia engaged Zhuge Jin, and his actual status was equivalent to that of Liangzhou Biejia or Yongzhou Biejia.
Yizhou is so prosperous that even the two prefectures of Yongliang and Yongliang combined are not as prosperous as each other.
Unless it is the position of governor of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, even Liangzhou Biejia or Yongzhou Biejia are not as good as Zhuge Jin, Yizhou Biejia, to a certain extent.
Judging from Zhuge Jin's age and qualifications, he would definitely not be able to serve as the governor of a state.
Judging from the current achievements of the Yizhou Prefectural Mufu, Jiang Wan and Zhuge Jin can easily obtain resumes and experience even if they make no progress.
In other words, as long as Zhuge Jin served in Yizhou, no major problems occurred.
It's very easy to get promoted again.
But once Zhuge Jin left Yizhou, this favorable condition completely ceased to exist.
The achievements in Yizhou in one year may need to be compared in three to five years in Yongliang and Liangzhou.
Therefore, Zhuge Jin's proposal must be self-destructive no matter how you look at it.
"Tzuyu, do you know how many people are watching your position?"
"Do you know what price I paid to put you in this position?"
Liu Zhang's face turned gloomy, and his attitude took a turn for the worse.
People from various states want to govern their own states and counties. This is a common problem among all the families in the world.
How much effort did Liu Zhang spend to reverse this situation?
"A humble minister is ashamed of Duke Qin!"
Zhuge Jin seemed dull, but he was not stupid in his heart. He naturally knew how difficult it was to get everything today.
In order to repay Liu Zhang's kindness, he tried his best to do everything to the best of his ability.
If there was no such thing as Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin's greatest wish would be to shut everyone's mouths and prevent Liu Zhang from being accused of being an unknown person.
Too bad everything has changed!
"Why..."
Liu Zhang sighed and had to sigh that age is really important.
Zhuge Jin was a calm man, but compared to the prime minister Zhuge Jin in history, he was a little too young after all.
Just like Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain eight years ago and has become almost arrogant.
Liu Zhang lifted Zhuge Jin up again and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"Ziyu, Tiangu has gained a new understanding of Yizhou these days, and all of this is inseparable from your contribution."
"Leave Yizhou to Dong He, Jiang Wan still has you, don't worry about being alone!"
"If you don't want the world to scold Gu Gu as fatuous, you have to work harder to help Gu Gu bring peace to the world as soon as possible!"
Zhuge Jin grimaced in pain as he was hit hard twice by Liu Zhang.
However, thanks to the pain, Zhuge Jin became more awake.
He is confident that he can do everything well, and is just afraid of causing rumors.
"Mr. Qin..."
"alright!"
Liu Zhang stretched out his hand and interrupted Zhuge Jin's words.
"Don't give it to the lonely mother-in-law!"
"I have always been suspicious of people who don't use them, but I don't trust people who use them!"
"In one sentence, can you do it?"
Zhuge Jin was already bursting with gratitude in his heart. How could he refuse to die if he valued her so much?
"I will live up to Duke Qin's high expectations!"
