Zhuge Liang usually lived in the Five Classics Hall to study.
After the Qionglin Banquet, he and everyone returned to the Five Classics Hall to have fun with his classmates. After thanking the teachers, he simply packed up and returned to his eldest brother Zhuge Jin's home.
The Zhuge family all lived together.
Zhuge Jin's uncle Zhuge Xuan, plus Zhuge Liang's two sisters and a brother.
Zhuge Liang was reading at home. In the evening, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Xuan both came back from the office.
Both Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin looked very excited. Zhuge Liang won the championship this time, giving the Zhuge family confidence. Especially at the Qionglin Banquet, Zhuge Liang's talk about moving the capital was very popular. Lu Xuan appointed Zhuge Liang as Nanjing County Magistrate, responsible for building the new imperial capital of Nanjing.
This is even more of an opportunity.
When he became an official, he served as a county magistrate, and he was the county magistrate of the imperial capital. This was an opportunity among opportunities.
Zhu Ge
Zhuge Xuan didn't drink much wine, but everyone would get drunk without being drunk. He looked at the three nephews under his knees, with a look of emotion on his face, and said slowly: "When my brother died of illness, he entrusted you to me."
"I feel sincere and fearful in my heart. I am worried that you will not be able to succeed and will be unworthy of your brother's trust."
"Now, you are all grown up."
"Tzuyu serves as the chief secretary next to the king. He is the king's confidant and has a bright future. As soon as Kong Ming became an official, he served as the magistrate of Nanjing County and was responsible for building the new capital city of Nanjing. He was also a disciple of Duke Zheng."
"As for Saburo, he is smart and steady, and has a promising future."
"In the future, our Zhuge family will at least be a double lord, and it will be even better once Sanlang also shines."
Zhuge Xuan's eyes were confused.
The whole person felt a little drunk.
Zhuge Jin solemnly said: "Thanks to my uncle for taking care of me after my father died of illness. Without my uncle to protect us from wind and rain, our family would have suffered a long time ago."
Zhuge Liang looked in agreement and said: "Uncle is also a father. My nephew has seen his contribution to us over the years and is grateful in his heart. Uncle, my nephew would like to toast you."
Zhuge Xuan chuckled.
He was stroking his beard very proudly.
He drank a glass of wine, stared at Zhuge Liang again, and asked eagerly: "Kong Ming, do you have a girl you like? Every family wants to marry you, even if you build a new capital, you have offended some local people in Yangzhou. In this big family, there are still people who want to marry you off."
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jun both looked over.
Zhuge Liang's cheeks twitched.
Come again!
After the Qionglin banquet ended today, when he returned to the Five Classics Hall, many people came to inquire. Although the teacher Zheng Xuan did not ask again, other great scholars also came to ask, and Zhuge Liang spent a lot of effort to refuse.
He doesn't find it difficult to do other things.
The problem is that he thinks marriage is really tricky.
Zhuge Liang's mind changed, and he suddenly looked at Zhuge Jin and said with a smile: "Uncle, the eldest brother is not married yet, how can I be in front? So, I am not in a hurry. I will wait a little longer."
Zhuge Jin's expression suddenly froze.
He felt his uncle Zhuge Xuan's eager gaze and felt his scalp numb. In order to take care of them, the uncle never got married and had no children, so he attached great importance to their marriage.
Zhuge Xuan smiled and said: "Kong Ming is right. Now that you are married, it will be easier for Kong Ming to make arrangements."
Zhuge Jin quickly said: "Uncle, I am working in the palace and have many things to do. I don't have time to arrange them now."
Zhu Ge Your father has entrusted you to me, and I will take care of you.”
Zhuge Jin scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "My uncle is about to get married. According to my nephew, you can marry us an aunt."
He looked at Zhuge Liang and winked.
Zhuge Liang said: "Brother is right. My uncle is now in his prime, and he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is a noble scholar, so there must be many people talking about marriage, right?"
Zhuge Xuan's eager expression suddenly froze.
what happened?
It turned to him.
Zhuge Xuan snorted and said in a deep voice: "I will take care of my affairs, so don't worry about it. Kong Ming, you still have to pay more attention to your marriage."
Zhuge Liang did not want to talk about this matter, so he changed the subject again and said, "Uncle, I am now busy with the construction of Nanjing City. Moreover, as the magistrate of Nanjing County, I also need to govern Nanjing County."
"The top priority is to make a career."
"If you can't do this well, everyone's admiration will turn into contempt. So now, I just want to get things done without thinking about anything."
Zhuge Liang solemnly said: "The examination in the Five Classics Hall is just the most common test without any external interference. It is a limited game. Building Nanjing City and governing Nanjing County now is a truly infinite game because it involves many external forces."
Zhuge Jin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Kong Ming's words are quite reasonable. Studying in the Five Classics Hall is very simple and simple."
"As long as you study well, nothing will be a problem. Even if you are stubborn and don't know how to coordinate, the scholars around you will respect you and few will come to cause trouble because it is difficult to interfere with you."
"Now the party in charge, especially those in charge of the Imperial Capital of Nanjing, is completely different."
"Your interpersonal relationships and your coordination skills must be strong in all aspects, otherwise it will be impossible to get things done."
"This is an infinite game."
Zhuge Jin said seriously: "I think that moving the capital this time, even if Zhang Shangshu takes the lead, will not be an easy and relaxed matter. The reason is very simple. Kong Ming, you are the person specifically responsible."
"There are still people who will target you directly."
"This is very dangerous."
"Kong Ming, you must be cautious when doing things, deal with it with a high spirit, and don't make any mistakes."
Zhuge Jin said: "It's okay if you don't think about the wedding for the time being. In short, let's settle the matter in Nanjing City first. As long as the imperial capital is built and there are no worries, everything will be easy to handle."
Zhuge Liang looked grateful and said with a smile: "Brother, that's a good idea."
Zhuge Xuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's all, I'll just follow your suggestion and wait a moment."
Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you uncle."
Zhuge Xuan changed the subject and said, "However, it's better to observe more. I will do more detailed research for you."
Zhuge Liang felt helpless when he heard this.
Zhuge Liang also accepted the fate and said: "Uncle, I still have things to arrange now. I am in Shu County, under the emperor's feet, and not many people dare to act rashly. But I thought about it, once I leave, someone will definitely move Wrong thinking."
Zhuge Jin became nervous and asked, "Kong Ming, what did you think about it?"
A flash of light flashed across Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he said loudly: "This time, I plan to use myself as bait to fish for the king."
Zhuge Jin asked: "How to fish?"
Zhuge Liang said: "If I leave Shu County and hide my whereabouts, when I arrive in Nanjing County, someone will definitely be against me. In this case, I took the initiative to spread the news and spread the time of my departure from Shu County."
"Clearly tell people outside that we will leave for Nanjing County the day after tomorrow."
"In this way, anyone who intends to deal with me will definitely take action."
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jin and said, "Brother, I need you to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to do something. Tell the king that I am leaving Shu County and preparing to fish for the king. Please arrange it."
Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "Kong Ming, you are really a little fox. You use your body as a bait to fish for the king. However, you are also using a knife to kill people who are harmful to you. Further, you can scare Xiaoxiao."
Zhuge Liang said modestly: "Brother, I don't have such thoughts. It's you who think so."
Zhuge Jin said: "I will report it."
"Thank you, brother."
Zhuge Liang smiled and thanked him.
If he wants to build the city of Nanjing, he will definitely have a lot of troubles. However, he is already thinking about solving his troubles bit by bit. It is best to deal with a group of people in Shu County as much as possible.
