The father of the three Zhuge brothers died early, and his uncle Zhuge Xuan also passed away for many years.

Now Zhuge Jin is the elder brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and the treatment of younger brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun is more binding.

Zhuge Jin didn't want Zhuge Liang, who worked in the cabinet, to leave Luoyang to go to other places.

He is actively operating, befriending Zhang Zhao, who is also from Xuzhou, and trying to get Zhang Zhao to arrange a Shangshutai position for Zhuge Liang.

He wanted Zhuge Liang to come out of the cabinet, officially enter the central power hub, and begin to truly participate in politics, accumulate experience for the future, and lay the foundation for the development of the Zhuge family.

The Cabinet is Guo Peng's secretarial department.

Although it has the power called auditing, it has a certain deterrent effect on Shang Shutai, but after all, it is not a real office department, and there is no real power.

The cabinet is Guo Peng's echo worm, and of course, it is also specially protected.

But if you don't come out, if you don't hold power in Shangshutai, you won't really intervene in imperial politics.

The cabinet is a knife in the hands of Emperor Guo Peng, a knife without independent consciousness, everything depends on the emperor's will, which is not conducive to the promotion of status.

Only when he was released to enter Shangshutai could he be regarded as truly elevating his status.

In both huge political upheavals, the cabinet was involved, but in the end the damage was very small.

Only three cabinet members lost their positions and were expelled from the capital, and most of them were fairly safe.

The biggest damage was Cao Cao, the first assistant of the cabinet, who demoted his title, lost a lot of food, and lost some benefits, but he was still the first assistant of the cabinet and held power.

Zhuge Liang and his friends were unharmed.

These friends from disadvantaged areas, such as Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian, are all optimistic about Zhuge Jin and want to be promoted.

Zhuge Jin and others were eager to seek talents, and eagerly wanted them to enter Shangshutai to work, and helped them enter Shangshutai, so as to confront the people of the three states of Qingyan and Hebei.

However, it seems that such an idea is not shared by Zhuge Liang.

"Brother, if you can't really get in touch with the people of Limin, and if you can't really see how those villages work, the officials won't be able to understand how the Wei State is really working.

The huge Wei State is the accumulation of villages one by one, and it is the accumulation of Tuntian people, which is something that all the former Han warlords have not been able to do, and I want to see it. ”

Zhuge Liang asked Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin frowned.

"Ah Liang, you should know that the local conditions are impossible to compare with Luoyang, let alone those low-level villages, there are no stone roads, not so many public toilets, and there is no incense, only old farmers who farm.

If this is not important, the promotion of Luoyang officials and the promotion of local officials are fundamentally two different things, if local officials are also so important, Lu Zijing should have been promoted as a brother when he was the assassin of Pingzhou before.

Brother Ke has not been promoted until now, this is the gap between the local and the central, you enter Shangshutai as an official, what you see and hear is not the same level as what you see and hear in the locality, and the local experience is not necessary for you. ”

Zhuge Liang's face did not change, and his thoughts remained the same.

"Brother, what I am doing is the Wei State, not just a promotion, if I want to be promoted, how can I take the initiative to leave Luoyang? If I don't want to be promoted, how can I take the initiative to leave Luoyang? ”

"What does that mean?"

Zhuge Jin was a little stunned, and he didn't react to his brother's meaning for a while.

"Brother, of course I hope to be promoted, to have more power to do more things, but I also know what that means, and I don't think I'm ready for a promotion now.

Everything I do as an official in Luoyang is for the locality, but I don't know what the locality is like, I want to go to the locality, go to the bottom to see, to really understand what is happening in the locality, what is happening.

What are the good things and what are the bad things, only when I really understand it, I will know what I should do and how I should do it in Luoyang, instead of detaching myself from reality and doing ridiculous things. ”

Zhuge Liang patiently explained.

Zhuge Jin was silent for a while, pinching his beard.

"Ah Liang, I understand what you mean, but ......"

Zhuge Jin still has some doubts.

"Brother, what Your Majesty likes today is a talent who can do practical things, and His Majesty today started from the army, conquered the world, and is well versed in the needs of the people, if you can't understand what the people need, you can't understand what Your Majesty is thinking today, and it will be difficult to really gain a firm foothold in the court."

Zhuge Liang continued to persuade Zhuge Jin.

And this statement made Zhuge Jin interested.

"That makes sense......"

"Naturally, brother, many of the people that Your Majesty reused are basically people who fought with Your Majesty from the ranks at that time, and they have all experienced fighting at the bottom and know what the people need.

So they know what to do in their Luoyang, understand the king's heart, and do everything that meets the needs of His Majesty, and if we don't understand, we will never be able to replace them. ”

Zhuge Liang said the reason that Zhuge Jin could not ignore or refuse.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Zhuge Jin no longer stopped blocking Zhuge Liang.

"What my brother said won my heart."

Zhuge Jin said.

Then Zhuge Jin told Zhuge Liang that it was really not easy to get a position for Zhuge Liang in the central department, and Zhang Zhao didn't dare to pack the ticket, but it would be too simple to say that he would be released.

There are local officials everywhere who want to enter the central government, and I really haven't seen a few central officials who want to go to the local government, and those who are released from the central government are basically the emperor's intentions.

Zhuge Liang wants to go out and make a county order or something, which is more than enough.

So Zhuge Jin found a time to meet Zhang Zhao, and when he learned Zhuge Jin's intention, Zhang Zhao was very curious.

"It's all local officials who want to come to Luoyang to be an official, but your brother is extraordinary, and he actually took the initiative to ask for release?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "It's not a good choice to release now, it's either Jiangnan or Liaodong, or the northwest, and there is newly occupied land everywhere, which is very bitter and cold, and the conditions are very poor.

What's more, there is a certain danger, when the officials first arrive, they don't know whether the local people are willing to obey the central government, and how troublesome it is to open up, so there are very few people who are willing to go.

I'm worried that there are no people to do many county official positions, and many local official positions are not filled, and basically those who are willing to go are from the poor family from Taixue, and I am looking for people everywhere, which is very troublesome. ”

Of course, Zhuge Jin knows what it means to be released during this period.

But Zhuge Liang had already convinced him.
