The Eastern Han Dynasty Was Finished

Zhuge Liang was only thirteen at the time, but he was far too mature for his age, and Zhuge Jin could do nothing about this little brother of his.

Originally, the three Zhuge brothers had been living in seclusion in Linzi, a huge city of seven or eight hundred thousand people. Even the house had been purchased under a servant's name. But if Zhuge Liang truly decided to enter public service, Zhuge Jin would have to consider arrangements for himself and his younger brother, Zhuge Jun.

Agreeing with Liu Bei's views and ambitions did not mean staking the entire family on Liu Bei. At the very least, the eldest son, Zhuge Jin, felt that for the sake of safety, they had to diversify their bets. This was the usual way aristocratic families survived, and the only sure method of keeping the family prosperous for generations.

Zhuge Liang had suddenly appeared in Wang Xuan's field of vision. His name had long since been specifically mentioned in Wang Xuan's writings, so he naturally attracted Wang Xuan's attention at once.

At thirteen, he was still a child, so Liu Bei naturally could not let Zhuge Liang enter public service. Wouldn't that amount to employing child labor? Liu Bei was not that heartless. But... Wang Xuan did not mind.

Of course, this was not because Wang Xuan was heartless. His main purpose was to cultivate Zhuge Liang. In name, he accepted Zhuge Liang as a disciple, but in reality, he tossed him beside him to serve as a full-time secretary. Having such an incarnation of wisdom and not making use of him would be a waste!

Child labor or no child labor—that was looking down on Zhuge Liang!
