Zhuge Liang watched the group of children go away, a soft smile flashed in his eyes, and he was a little more curious about Son of Heaven, the one from Ye City.
During this period, he learned a lot about Son of Heaven from Qingzhu.
When I first heard that Son of Heaven had endured for a long time under Yuan Shao, and finally came back to seize power, I felt that he was an emperor with profound power;
Then I heard that Son of Heaven beheaded Yuan Clan at home and Xun Chen in the palace, and I felt that Son of Heaven was ruthless and cold-blooded;
When he also heard that Son of Heaven was planning to make Great Aristocratic Families compete for donations and fame in order to resettle Displaced People people, he felt that Son of Heaven was well versed in the way of controlling power;
Later I heard that Son of Heaven often came in and out of Outside the City to inspect Displaced People's life, openly committed crimes in front of the people, and even spared no effort to accommodate Displaced People When he spent a lot of financial and material resources and asked Xiongnu to sacrifice his life for the lives of the people, he felt that... this was most likely the Sagely Son of Heaven who could make Han Dynasty regain his sight.
Tolerance has the power of a city, to be cold and ruthless to the enemy, to treat the ministers with kindness and power, to be cruel and iron-blooded to Foreign Tribes, and to be kind and tolerant to the people.
It looks like both Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu.
The most important thing is that this Son of Heaven is only twenty years old like him, just reaching his prime, but such a young Son of Heaven has the demeanor of a saint!
"Great Han Such a sage king appears in times of crisis. It can be seen that the sky will not stop me Flourishing Han, and I, Great Han, will surely prosper again!"
Zhuge Liang thought in his heart, his eyes burning.
What he has always hoped for is to become a Imperial Court, display his ambition and talent, Restore the Han Dynasty, and revive Great Han.
Although I don't know how Son of Heaven knew about him and specially summoned him to Ye City, he was lucky enough to meet such a wise monarch, which was the opportunity given to him by God!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang became more and more determined to perform well after seeing Son of Heaven and not let this opportunity go to waste.
Carriage Drive along Official Road and slowly enter Ye City.
With the privilege of Embroidered-Clothes Envoys, the group quickly arrived outside the Imperial Palace without any hindrance.
After Qingzhu revealed his identity and purpose of visit to Feathered Forest Guard, the latter immediately went to report it.
"Mr. Kongming!"
Zhuge Liang He was arranging his appearance. When he heard this, he turned around and saw a rich-looking and well-dressed scribe who greeted him with a smile on his face.
When Qingzhu, Wutong, and Silver Needle saw him, their faces suddenly became solemn, and they knelt down on one knee and said, "Please refer to Duke Jia for your humble position!"
This scribe is naturally Jia Xu who founded Embroidered-Clothes Envoys.
Jia Xu nodded to them, then took Zhuge Liang's hand and said with a smile, "These three idiots are not doing their job well, and it took them so long to bring the gentleman."
"Sir, it's been really hard work all the way."
Facing Jia Xu's enthusiasm, Zhuge Liang felt a little uncomfortable and saluted, "May I ask you..."
"I lost my composure for a moment. I hope you will forgive me, sir."
Jia Xu knocked on his head, and then said with a smile, "My surname is Jia Mingxu, my courtesy name is Wenhe, but it is Director of the Secretariat."
Jia Xu?
Zhuge Liang was slightly shocked. Of course he had heard of Jia Xu's reputation, and he learned from Qingzhu and others that Jia Xu was one of Son of Heaven's most valued confidants.
Son of Heaven was able to get rid of Yuan Shao's control, and Jia Xu accounted for a lot of credit. Now he holds the position of Directly-Appointed Embroidered-Clothes Envoys, and all Embroidered-Clothes Envoys need to obey his orders.
Facing this Imperial Court important minister, Zhuge Liang did not dare to neglect, and saluted. "Zhuge Kongming, I have seen Director of the Secretariat."
"Mr. Kongming, no need to be polite."
Jia Xu turned sideways and ignored Zhuge Liang's gift, helped him up personally, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty ordered me to find Mr., but I have something on my hands and I can't escape, so I can only let these three idiots go and ask for Mr."
"There's nothing rude about them, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Qingzhu and the three of them suddenly felt cold sweat running down their backs, and their whole bodies became stiff.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "The three Embroidered-Clothes Envoys took great care of me along the way and there was nothing rude about me."
"That's good."
Jia Xu nodded, and then said to Qingzhu and the others, "You did a good job, remember First-Class Merit, and go get the reward yourself."
"Thank you Duke Jia!"
Qingzhu and the three of them looked at Zhuge Liang with gratitude one after another, as if they had received an amnesty, and then left in a hurry, not daring to stay here any longer.
Then Jia Xu said to Zhuge Liang, "Your Majesty is not in the palace now. He is inspecting farming at Outside the City. Sir, why don't you follow me into the palace and wait."
"Inspecting farming? Your Majesty go there in person?"
Zhuge Liang was greatly surprised. Although he heard that Son of Heaven would go out to inspect the palace from time to time, he did not expect that he would inspect not only the lives of the people, but also farming.
That means walking in the fields.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is considerate of the people's sentiments, and now is the occasion of Spring Plowing, Your Majesty allows the people to use the Jian'an Plow he invented for farming, so I have to go and see the effect in person."
"Your Majesty has been out of the palace for more than an hour. Calculating the time, it is almost time to come back. Mr. Kongming should follow me to Xuan Room first."
Zhuge Liang did not refuse and entered the palace with Jia Xu.
At this time, it began to drizzle in the sky.
Jia Xu held up an umbrella and walked with Zhuge Liang in the palace. He said with a smile, "Spring rain is as precious as oil. It started raining as soon as Mr. Kongming came. This is a good sign."
"Your Majesty I've been waiting for you sir for a long time."
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "May I ask Director of the Secretariat, why did Your Majesty summon me? I'm just a commoner."
"Of course I have to use Mr."
Jia Xu replied naturally, "Your Majesty told me that Mr. is a great talent. What Imperial Court lacks now is talent."
"Now that Mr. Your Majesty has caught his eye, Your Majesty will definitely put him to good use. He is really young and successful."
Although Jia Xu doesn't know what Son of Heaven values about Zhuge Liang, it does not prevent him from expressing goodwill and saying good things is always right.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang is still in vain, so it is much easier to make good friends with him now than when he is reused in the future.
"Director of the Secretariat is overrated."
Facing Jia Xu's praise, Zhuge Liang remained humble and said, "Director of the Secretariat can just call me Kongming. The word "sir" carries too much weight, and I really can't bear it."
It would be okay if Qingzhu and others, Liu Qi and others called him sir, but Jia Xu is not only older than him, but also has a status far beyond him.
It is not appropriate for such a Imperial Court important minister to call him sir.
"Okay."
Jia Xu responded with a smile. At the same time, he had a preliminary evaluation of Zhuge Liang in his heart. His praise just now was also for the purpose of testing.
If Zhuge Liang is complacent or frightened because of these compliments, it means that this person is just like that; but it is rare and valuable to be able to remain humble without being arrogant or arrogant.
"Your Majesty's vision is indeed vicious."
Jia Xu expressed some admiration for Liu Xie in his heart, then put away his thoughts of probing, and went to Xuan Room talking and laughing with Zhuge Liang.
Xuan Room is not empty.
Guo Jia and Sima Yi were both inside, working on the memorial at the desk. When they saw Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang come in, they all turned their attention to them.
"Who are these two?"
Zhuge Liang turned his questioning eyes to Jia Xu.
Being able to handle memorials in Xuan Room means that the two people in front of them are not ordinary people, they are also Son of Heaven's Close Attendants.
"This is Deputy Imperial Censor Guo Jia, named Fengxiao, a drunkard."
Jia Xu first introduced Guo Jia, and then introduced Sima Yi: "That person is Attendant Censor, Regular Mounted Attendant Sima Yi, the name is Sima Yi, and he is also a young talent."
Zhuge heard this and looked at the two of them.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and nodded in greeting; while Sima Yi looked at Feather Fan Guanjin and Zhuge Liang, who had a good temperament, and frowned tightly.
"Who is this person?"
For some reason, he felt inexplicable resistance to the young man in front of him, and there was a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
This feeling is indescribable. If I had to give an example, it would be like seeing...Fated Enemy.
But it was obviously the first time he saw this person.
The other side.
Zhuge Liang was also looking at Sima Yi, and he also had a tit-for-tat feeling in his heart towards this young Attendant Censor who had Eagle-Gaze, Wolf-Glance Aspect and impressive abilities.
The two people's eyes met in the air. Jia Xu did not notice anything unusual about them. He introduced Zhuge Liang and said, "This is Zhuge Liang, named Kongming. He is a great talent that Your Majesty specially ordered to invite back from Jing Province."
Hearing this, Guo Jia and Sima Yi were both surprised.
This was the first time they heard about it.
Son of Heaven personally sent someone to bring him back from Jing Province!
What kind of courtesy and attention is this?
Guo Jia was okay, he was just very curious about Zhuge Liang, but Sima Yi felt that the sense of crisis in his heart was getting stronger.
"This person is indeed my opponent!"
Sima Yi clenched the pen in his hand. Although his expression remained unchanged, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
His ambition is to be Son of Heaven's most valued minister, but the Zhuge Kongming in front of him is not only younger than him, but also invited by Son of Heaven on his own initiative. This shows that Son of Heaven values this person more than him!
Just as Sima Yi was pondering the origin of Zhuge Liang, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside Xuan Room, as well as a voice filled with great joy.
"I heard that Mr. Kongming arrived at Ye City. Where is Mr. Kongming?"
Everyone looked at the door of Xuan Room.
I saw Liu Xie trotting into Xuan Room. The hem of his wide dragon robe was covered with mud, as were his feet. Even his hair and temples were soaked by the rain.
But this did not affect the joy on his face at all.
When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Xie's clothes, he immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him, and quickly saluted and said respectfully:
"Nanyang Recluse Zhuge Liang, see Your Majesty!"
Chapter 301 Zhuge Liang: Your Majesty treats me like National Scholar, how can I die if I don't do it!
Liu Xie's happiness is not fake.
Although he has seen many Civil Officials Military Generals since time travel, including Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia that have left a mark on history, he was still uncontrollably excited at this moment.
