"Mr. Wenhe, Jin has always had a question." Zhuge Jin hesitated slightly.

"It can be seen that you still have a different opinion about His Majesty's lack of attention to the ceremony this time, right?" Jia Xu said.

Zhuge Jin nodded.

"The courage of a great country, when Weijia is in the sea, do the things of the royal way instead of seeking small profits. Jin also probably knows the situation of Guishan and Anxi, although it is difficult to deal with, but with the current national strength of my Great Chu, it is not unattainable. His Majesty acted like this, although it was for the sake of the overall situation, but it was inevitable that he would lose face. ”

This is not only Zhuge Jin's idea, but also the voice of many civil and military forces.

Dominate the world, redefine the mountains and rivers, what a great honor, with the current prosperity and territory of Great Chu, Yuan Shu's exploits are enough to compete with the first emperor, and the merits cover the Han Wu Guangwu, and the Taishan Feng Chan has made many civil and military dissatisfied. Now the Dingguo Ceremony is so simple and hasty, which is difficult for everyone to accept.

"You should know that Your Majesty has always valued real profit without fame, and it is not surprising that he will do so." Jia Xu said.

"But that was before, and now the Great Chu Dingguo. If a great country does not display its glorious might, how can it intimidate the four empires and demonstrate the holiness of His Majesty? In this way, it is unfair to His Majesty. Seeking the country by such means may lead to future troubles. Zhuge Jin said with a little emotion.

"And how are you doing? To persuade His Majesty and rearrange the ceremony? Jia Xu said.

"Jin people are soft-spoken, how can they convince Your Majesty." Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly.

"Isn't that what it takes? Yuan Hao and Zibu had already argued with His Majesty many times about this matter, but they had not been able to persuade His Majesty. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, what else is there to discuss? Jia Xu said.

Zhuge Jin is still young, and it is normal for him to be unable to hold his breath, Jia Xu directly made his words clear.

Seeing that Zhuge Jin was still a little unwilling, Jia Xu shook his head lightly: "Ziyu, what do you think is the Hero Mingjun?" ”

"Your Majesty is." Zhuge Jin said.

Born in troubled times, he personally experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He watched Yuan Shu grow and prosper little by little, and admired Yuan Shu's ability.

"Your Majesty knows people well and is good at politics, attaches great importance to soldiers, can coordinate the overall situation, and has a long-term vision, which can be called a model of a wise monarch. However, Kim has no feet. Your Majesty is too kind, too cautious and not decisive, and not vain. Jia Xu hit the nail on the head.

He didn't shy away from saying it, not only because he was facing Zhuge Jin. This is what he said in front of Yuan Shu, and with Yuan Shu's character, he won't care, because his heart is too soft and kind. This is also the most reassuring point for Jia Xu and others, but also a headache.

Yuan Shu is like another enhanced version of Emperor Guangwu of Han. Strong ability but soft-hearted, can treat heroes well but sit back and watch the family sit big, laying a hidden danger for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, unlike Emperor Guangwu, Yuan Shu's vision is more long-term, and his skills and abilities are also more sophisticated. Today's Da Chu is still monolithic, and although the family is big, it has been transferred abroad. From the perspective of the country, Yuan Shu is raising thieves from the enemy, but from the perspective of the nation, Yuan Shu can be described as a holy king. This is also the reason why the family bows their heads.

"It is right for us and other courtiers to do our duty to advise Your Majesty, but we must not force Your Majesty to make the 'right' decision. As long as the general direction is good, it is harmless to deviate from the small things. Jia Xu said.

This is what he thinks now, and if it were before, his thinking is probably that as long as the country is not in danger of overturning, he will not speak without speaking. Just like the Battle of Chibi in the original history, although he knew it in his heart, he only mentioned it slightly, and he didn't say much about being neutral. Even if Cao Cao made mistakes, he didn't stop it, because he didn't care about the success or failure of Wei, as long as he was fine.

"But this matter is obviously doing more harm than good, so I am afraid that it will damage my reputation and be unfavorable in the future, so I should advise."

"So Tian Yuanhao and Zhang Zibu have been admonishing all along, aren't they? Two of the three dukes were admonishing, and most of the eighteen were also dissenting. But Your Majesty still hasn't changed his original intention, don't you understand? Jia Xu's eyes closed slightly: "If even I, the Taiwei who has always been neutral, are involved, then it is not an admonition, but a forced palace." Your Majesty is kind-hearted, but once you violate his bottom line, do you really think that the emperor's anger is a joke? ”

"Your Majesty has always been wise, why is he so resolute in this matter." Zhuge Jin sighed slightly.

"Because Your Majesty is too benevolent, he spares the lives of his soldiers, and wants to take Guishan and rest at the lowest cost."

Jia Xu looked at Zhuge Jin indifferently and said: "You don't need to worry too much, it's not difficult to make up for this matter, but I'm afraid that I will inevitably have to fight Rome head-on in the future." ”

Zhuge Jin was silent, his ability was not at the same level at all compared to the big guy in front of him, so he naturally didn't see it long enough.

Jia Xu shook his head slightly in his heart. Zhuge Jin's ability to deal with the world is indeed a must, but his ability is slightly worse than the next. With Da Chu's current abundance of talents, Zhuge Jin's position is actually very embarrassing.

"Ziyu, what do you think about your future development?"

"Please also ask Mr. Wenhe for advice." Zhuge Jin's face was straight, he straightened his robe and said respectfully.

He knew that the dry goods were coming. This is also the real purpose of his trip.

Don't look at his young age, he is already in a deputy position, and he has real power. But with his ability, I'm afraid the limit is like this, and this is more or less on Zhuge Liang's face.

"I'm sure you're aware of the awkwardness you're in. The Ministry of Rites is extremely important to the country, although it is now in your charge for the time being, but it is because His Majesty has a plan for the southwestern countries, so Zijing has not been recalled for the time being. Although there are still vacancies in the post of the 18 Shangshu of the Great Chu, His Majesty hesitates. But those films require some professional ability, and it is difficult for you to make achievements. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

Zhuge Jin's talent was born as a flattering minister, his nature is pure but his ability is average. If it is under the command of a strong or suspicious lord, he may be able to make some achievements, ease the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and become a good minister for a generation. But under the mild-tempered Yuan Shu, it really didn't work much. Even the diplomatic affinity that he is good at has been suppressed by Lu Su to death, and Lu Su is older than him, and his age is not a few years older than him, so he can't even take over.

"What does Mr. Wenhe think Jin should do?" Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly. He has a good relationship with Yuan Shu, and he must also pay attention to it, otherwise the position of the left waiter of the household department will not fall to him. But there are too many talents in Da Chu, and there is a Lu Su who overlaps with him.

Originally, although there was also Lu Su in the history of Wu State, but because there were not so many talents in Jiangdong, Lu Su wore many hats and had to bear them in strategic and military aspects, and Sun Quan had a suspicious temperament, which made Zhuge Jin prosperous. But the current Da Chu does not have a good position for Zhuge Jin at all.

"What do you think, how is Wu Guo?" Jia Xuhu said.

"There is Bo Miao here, can you use Jin?" Zhuge Jin sighed slightly.

To be honest, if Deng Zhi is here, whether he, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, can sit firmly is a matter of two questions.

"It's not the same. There is a shortage of people in Wu State, and you should know Bo Fu's character, it is not something that Gongtai and Shiyuan can control, you go, it is just right. Jia Xu said: "Moreover, you must be able to see the general trend in the future clearly." If the Zhuge family wants to develop, it must move out of Dachu, after all, Kong Ming's ability is too strong. ”

Zhuge Liang's core position has become unbreakable as his abilities continue to be revealed. And at such a young age, he will be firmly nailed to the position of prime minister for at least thirty years in the future.

Although Yuan Shu is benevolent, his awareness of checks and balances is not bad. Zhuge Liang has such a status, in order to avoid a single family, there will be some restrictions on the Zhuge family.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhuge Liang, but the way of governing the country and the art of the emperor are like this. The important weapon of the country cannot be placed on private feelings.

When Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, people's hearts were always the most unreliable thing, and a good system and power constraints could maintain the country's long-term peace and stability.

"If you stay in Dachu, the Zhuge family can prosper for a hundred years, and it is not difficult for you to put a name among the eighteen books, but I am afraid that you can only stop here. If you go to the Kingdom of Wu, the Zhuge family can find another way, and it is unknown what the future achievements will be. Exactly how to choose, it's up to you. Jia Xu said lightly.

He said everything that should be said, and he didn't care how Zhuge Jin chose in the end. Buddha has a fate, he just left a good fate with Zhuge Liang and left an insurance for future generations.
