Several people didn't even dare to say it, but now the fate of Zhuge Jin's brothers and sisters has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Ma Chao naturally wants to try his best to win over the Zhuge family, especially the two brothers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. At the moment, he said: "I heard that the Langya Zhuge family is full of talents, and fortunately, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Zhuge to be able to see Brother Zhuge and others, I will be very happy, please sit down!" ”

Under Zhuge Xuan's signal, the five brothers and sisters sat down generously, Zhuge Jin hugged his fists and said: "I have heard the name of the champion Hou for a long time, I just hate not to have the opportunity to meet, but now I can see it, and Jin is also overjoyed!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Ziyu will be weak in the year, I don't know if I can have the heart to be a leader!" Now that the Han is waiting to be lifted, it is the time to employ people. Brother Zhuge was born in a famous family and has outstanding talents, so he should serve the country. ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Don't hide it from the general, the grass people have long had the heart to be a leader, but the stepmother needs someone to support her, and it is difficult to get out for a while, if it weren't for the general to reuse my uncle, I'm afraid that my family will suffer from turbulence and displacement!" Now that he has to be idle, he should serve the general, even if he is a scholar in the house! ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "Brother Zhuge is too polite, with your talent is enough to take on a heavy responsibility, but after all, he is still young, if he enters the court as an official, he is afraid of being criticized, he can temporarily serve as the rafters of the General's Mansion, and he only needs to experience two to three years to become a great weapon, I don't know if Brother Zhuge is willing to give in?" ”

Zhuge Jin's expression was slightly excited, the rafters of the General's Mansion may have an insignificant official position, but he is a subordinate of the General, and he is the easiest to get close to Ma Chao, so he is afraid that he will not be able to reuse it in the future? stood up and bowed down again, hugged his fists and said: "Since you have won the love of the lord, Zhuge Jin dares not to obey!" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly helped Zhuge Jin up, and said with a smile: "But it was supposed to be this talent!" Now that Bo Chenlin, the lord of the General's Mansion, is busy correcting the text and promoting education, you can temporarily replace Chen Lin, in charge of various documents in the mansion, and have his own book Zuo Wang Ling to assist you! ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Don't worry, my lord, Jin will do his best and dare not slack off in the slightest!" ”

Ma Chao nodded and said: "Ben will always be suspicious of employing people, suspects are not needed, and treat subordinate officials and generals as brothers, Ziyu has a rigorous surname, careful thinking, and bright and clean actions, which can be of great use!" This is not to please Zhuge Jin, this is indeed the case in history. Zhuge Jin may not be as talented as Zhuge Liang, but there is absolutely no doubt about his loyalty, and he is good at diplomacy, being a lobbyist, and can also govern internal affairs, taking on great responsibilities alone, and is definitely a rare talent.

Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang saw that Ma Chao reused Zhuge Jin when they met for the first time, and they were also very happy in their hearts, the Zhuge family has been in decline for many years, and one more person will be a leader, and there will be more opportunities for revival. And Ma Chao is the number one prince in the world, and it is very likely that he will have the last laugh and achieve great things, and it is undoubtedly an excellent choice to join Ma Chao to serve.

Zhuge Jin thanked him and was excited, Ma Chao smiled slightly, turned back to Zhuge Xuan and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Zhuge and these two nieces have promised others?" ”

Zhuge Xuan said: "After my brother passed away, several children and nephews were raised by my uncle, and they have been fluctuating for several years, so although the two nieces have been married, they have not yet married!" ”

Ma Chao nodded, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Ben will just get married, but now I want to be a matchmaker and propose to Mr. Zhuge on behalf of the two young heroes, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Zhuge Xuan's heart moved, and asked, "I don't know who the lord is talking about?" I'm afraid that my niece Pu Liu's posture is not worthy of what the general said! ”

Ma Chao was half joking, half serious: "Mr. Zhuge is too polite, the two Miss Zhuge are also from famous families, with generous manners, elegant temperament, and beautiful appearance, how can they be called Pu Liu's posture?" I only hate that Ben will just get married, otherwise maybe I can't help but ask someone to propose marriage when I see it! ”

When the two girls heard this, their faces immediately turned red with shame, Zhuge Xuan's face was embarrassed, and he hugged his fists and said: "The lord said that he laughed, but I don't know who the lord is talking about?" ”

Ma Chao pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "These two Mr. Zhuge have also met many times, and they are the two henchmen around the general, one of them is Meng Da, who introduced Mr. to the general, who first served as a partial general, and was named the Marquis of Rongyang, who has just passed the weak crown. The second is the same year as the general's fellow townsman, the law is filial piety, there is an unpredictable talent, the current military general, his father Fa Yan is the county Taishou, and the law family is also a Confucian and Taoist family. The two are not only the right-hand men of the general, but also cousins, if they can marry the two sisters of the Zhuge family as their wives, they will definitely be passed on as beautiful talks! ”

Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he not only knew these two people, but also knew them very well, and Meng Da and them came all the way needless to say. They were arranged by Fa Zheng during their time in Luoyang and even after they took up their posts in Hanoi, of course they knew the status of Meng Da and Fa Zheng in Ma Chao's heart, and the two sides were the right people and were of the same age, so they were a good match.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Xuan didn't agree to it, but looked at Zhuge Jin, these years pay attention to the eldest brother as a father, after all, he is only the uncle of Zhuge sisters, and he has to ask Zhuge Jin's opinion.

Zhuge Jin looked at the two sisters with an inquiring gaze, only to see that the two of them bowed their heads in shame and were silent, so they knew that the two sisters had no opinion, and immediately hugged their fists and said: "My father died, and our brothers and sisters were raised by our uncles, which is no different from our own fathers, and everything depends on my uncle alone!" ”

Zhuge Xuan's heart was moved, and he nodded and said: "These two are both handsome men in the world, and since the lord is willing to be this matchmaker himself, my Zhuge family has no reason to allow it!" ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, he had already discussed this matter with Meng Da and Fa Zheng in private, and both of them had also met the Zhuge sisters, and they had more or less contact. Therefore, after Ma Chao raised this matter, the two of them agreed, it can be said that the main task of this time is to propose, followed by recruiting Zhuge Jin, and then to find a way to fool the thirteen-year-old Zhuge Liang away.

"Well, happy! This matter was decided first, and after that, Ben will personally come to the door to perform the gift! How about all etiquette according to the courtesy of the scholars? ”

Zhuge Xuan said: "But it is up to the lord to decide!" ”

Ma Chao nodded, looked at Zhuge Liang again, and asked: "This general picked up a 'strange thing' a few days ago, I don't know if you have ever seen it!" After saying that, he clapped his hands, and some soldiers had already brought Kong Minglan in.

"Ahh

"This is not the second brother"

"Second Brother"

As soon as they saw this, the five brothers and sisters were surprised, but they were not quiet, Zhuge Liang got up and bowed and said: "Let the general see and smile, this thing was made by Liang on a whim, and it can fly into the sky after igniting it, and it can be called a sky lantern!" ”

"Sure enough!" Ma Chao nodded and chuckled: "In this way, we are still destined to be a person, and I will take a walk in the mansion that night, only to see this thing falling from the sky, and it is extremely magical!" But I don't want it to be a strange thing created by the Zhuge brothers, I will admire it! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The general has won the award, although Liang is in the poor countryside, he also knows the talent of the general, he shot the Huns with a saddle horse, and later built a mobile high-speed stone thrower to break through the tiger prison in half an hour. ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao asked rhetorically: "Do you have a table?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "When my father died, I gave the word Kong Ming!" ”

Ma Chao was relieved and said: "Kong Ming's words are different! Although this object is small, it contains a big truth, in fact, the use of air heating after the density becomes smaller to produce buoyancy, if you can find the right material, expand it hundreds or thousands of times, manned flight is not difficult. ”

Zhuge Liang was shocked, he only accidentally found that the smoke could be lifted into the air before he thought of collecting the smoke to make a sky lantern, where to understand the truth of density and buoyancy, and the manned flight is even more unthinkable. Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he hugged his fists and said: "Listening to what my uncle said, the general once said that the earth is round, the sky is endless, in addition to our Han, there are many alien races and kingdoms, among which there are many powerful existences, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Yes!" Ma Chao said: "Powerful is not how strong, but these nations have a strong invasion surname in their bones, if we are partial to the status quo, we only focus on a corner of the Han Dynasty, and do not clean them up as soon as possible, we will be harmed by them in the future." However, if it can be completely conquered, our Han nation can not only occupy more land and resources, or enslave them, or integrate them into it, but also benefit future generations! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this, and arched his hand: "The general's ambition is very comparable, if this matter is successful, his achievements will be unparalleled, and he will be admired by all generations!" I only hate Liang and I can't follow the general to serve when I'm young! ”

Ma Chao's heart moved, and he said: "The ambition is not old, Ben will and Fa Zheng and Ma Dai debuted at the age of twelve, my first Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were not yet twelve years old to lead the army to the Southern Huns, and the champion of the year, Hou Huo, also joined the army at the age of twelve!" If you want to serve by the side of this general, I will teach you what I have learned to ensure that your future achievements are limitless! ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said: "The talent of the great general is unparalleled in ancient times, and it is really beyond the reach of people!" Thanks to not giving up, Kong Ming is willing to perform the gift of his disciples! After that, he took two steps forward and respectfully bowed three times.

Ma Chao returned the half-salute, shook his head after helping Zhuge Liang up, and said: "The general is only a few years older than you, how can you call yourself a teacher?" What's more, after you finish your studies, you will have to work for the great cause of this general. We should be half teachers and half friends, half kings and half ministers, and there are still many important things to be done by you, so don't mention the word teacher! ”

Zhuge Liang groaned slightly, nodded, clasped his fists and saluted: "In this case, Kong Ming greets the lord!" ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I have Kong Ming, like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings, and the great cause can be expected!" "Today's Kong Ming debuted fourteen years ahead of schedule, and he didn't worship Sima Hui as a teacher, so it's hard to say which of the two Kong Ming is better. However, Ma Chao is full of confidence, he has nearly two thousand years of knowledge more than Sima Hui, and he can teach Kong Ming not only Confucianism and Taoism those useless things, he wants to cultivate Kong Ming into a real demonic character, and even better than the blue.
