In the court, Emperor Ling heard that Zhuge Jin was only ten years old, and he was very interested in his arrival, and said to Huangfu Song: "Order, let Zhuge Jin come to the palace to see me." ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he was slightly happy in his heart: "Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, he retired, hurried out of the palace, and went straight to Zhuge Jin's mansion.

Emperor Ling was bored when he saw Huangfu Song retreating, and asked, "Who else knows the news of Zhuge Jin?" Let's talk about it first. ”

Zhu Jun saw that no one came forward, so he had to get up and reply: "Your Majesty, the minister has been with Zhuge Jin for some time, although this person is young, he is born a talent, his face is like a crown of jade, and he looks like a young man of seventeen or eighteen, seven feet and three inches long, using a long halberd as a weapon, fighting bravely, and having many strategies. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Ling listened to Zhu Jun's words, not only was he not satisfied in his heart, but his curiosity was even greater.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao? The slave heard that he had a daughter, who had made a family relationship with Langya Zhuge Jin, who was the eldest son of Langya Zhuge and a member of a big family. A eunuch beside Emperor Ling saw that Zhuge Jin aroused the interest of Emperor Ling, and whispered to Emperor Ling to explain Zhuge Jin's background.

Emperor Ling is also a wise person, and when he heard that man say this, he knew something in his heart: "I remember what my father said. Although the Spirit Emperor didn't say much, his vigilance was great. Now in the court, it is not easy to balance the relationship between eunuchs, Qingliu, and scholars, and Emperor Ling is naturally reluctant to suddenly appear and break the sub-balance, but the heart of Zhuge Jin is light.

Although some ministers in the court saw Zhang Rang muttering to Emperor Ling's side, one was far away and couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but the other didn't want to get into trouble for Zhuge Jin, who had not yet met. Now Emperor Ling rarely goes to the court, and the government is controlled by the ten permanent servants, and everyone knows in their hearts that the ten permanent servants are powerful and powerful, and they can't be offended, so they are all silent.

Emperor Ling was bored when he saw it, sitting on the throne and yawning boringly, Zhang Rang saw that his words dispelled Emperor Ling's thoughts, and secretly said in his heart: "What about Langya Zhuge and what about the big family, since you don't come to the miscellaneous family and honor the miscellaneous family, how can the miscellaneous family make you feel better?" ”

Huangfu Song arrived at Zhuge Jin's mansion, and without waiting for the next person to report, he had already broken in, and when he saw Zhuge Jin talking to a woman, he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he pulled Zhuge Jin and rushed out. Zhuge Jin was about to make a color, but Huangfu Song was shocked by a word: "Come with me to the palace, the saint will summon you." ”

Zhuge Jin was a little dazed, looking at his scholar's clothes, the thought of wanting to change his clothes was just a flash, and the two hurriedly went out.

"On the sage, Langya Zhuge Jin asked to see him outside the palace gate." I don't know how long later, when Emperor Ling was drowsy, a guard entered the palace to report.

Emperor Ling opened his eyes: "Biography." ”

"There is a decree in the saint, and Langya Zhuge Jin will enter the palace to meet ......"

When Xiao Huangmen saw Emperor Ling's order, he opened his mouth and sang loudly, and the voice crossed the main hall and went straight out, and when it reached the outside of the palace gate, the rest of the people had already passed it on. Soon, Zhuge Jin followed Huangfu Song into the palace, and the two stepped forward at the same time to worship and said: "Emperor Fu Song (Zhuge Jin) has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Wait for the peace." Emperor Ling said in a cozy tone, and when he saw Zhuge Jin lowering his head, he said, "Zhuge Jin, raise your head and let me take a look." ”

"Yes." Zhuge Jin listened to the order and slowly raised his head.

"Okay, what a handsome young man!" Even Emperor Ling had already had a prejudice against Zhuge Jin in his heart, and when he saw Zhuge Jin's face, he couldn't help but admire.

After a pause, Emperor Ling opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you are just over ten years old this year, I don't know if it's true or not?" You have to tell the truth, you must know that it is a great sin to deceive the king......"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is really ten years old this year, the minister was born on the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of Xiping, but he is exactly ten years old so far, and he dare not deceive." Zhuge Jin listened, although he didn't know why the emperor asked this, he still replied. He was not in a hurry or impatient, his demeanor was calm, and the Spirit Emperor who watched it was even more happy in his heart.

"I've heard that you're extraordinary in martial arts and proficient in strategy, so you can talk to me."

"Back to Your Majesty, what the minister is using is a halberd, both arms are quite powerful, one arm can lift a hundred catties, as for the strategy, it is only acceptable, compared with Lord Huangfu and Lord Zhu Jun, it is far from it, and you still need to learn more."

Seeing this, Emperor Ling didn't want to say anything, and asked Zhuge Jin some other trivial matters.

Huangfu Song had already been among the courtiers, but when he saw Emperor Ling chattering and gossiping with Zhuge Jin, he was helpless, and he came forward again: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Jin has made outstanding achievements in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the rest of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, etc. also have many merits, and please make a decision." ”

Emperor Ling heard that Emperor Fu Song raised this matter again, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and glanced at the courtiers below, and saw that everyone was listless, so he said: "Come on, draft the decree." Yuan Shao was ordered to be the captain of the Yue cavalry, more than 2,000 stones, in charge of the guards, the marquis of the capital, and the eaters were 200; ordered Cao Cao to be the captain of the cavalry, more than 2,000 stones, the marquis of the pavilion of the capital, 200 households, and stay in Beijing to listen to it; Ordered Zhuge Jin to ride the capital lieutenant, more than 2,000 stones, seal the capital pavilion marquis, eat 200 households, and stay in Beijing to listen to it. Each of the three gave a mansion, ten beauties, 100 pieces of cloth, and 100 catties of gold. The rest of the people have their own rewards. Okay, let's retreat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and Emperor Ling flicked his sleeves and led Zhang Rang back to the harem.

Seeing that the emperor was gone, all the ministers withdrew from the main hall one after another. Zhuge Jin came out, and saw that the ministers had different expressions, some showed jealousy, some stepped forward to say goodbye, and some threw up their sleeves and left directly......

Huangfu Song stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to Captain Zhuge Du, this is a happy event, but I want to celebrate." ”

"Thank you, sir." When Zhuge Jin saw Huangfu Song, he hurriedly thanked him, and then said: "The celebration is certain, but Jin still needs to go back and tidy up, and please appreciate your face when the time comes." As he spoke, he didn't care about everyone's attitude towards him, and invited everyone around him.

"You're polite, I'm going to bother at that time......" No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they naturally wouldn't directly show hostility, and they exchanged pleasantries, and they all agreed to this matter with a smile before they dispersed.

Seeing that the people had finished, Zhuge Jin turned to look back at the palace, and muttered in his heart: "As expected, he was still stayed!" It's just that this Jingshi, after all, can't lock me up Zhuge Jin, and one day, I will turn into a dragon and rise up. ”

After a long time, Zhuge Jin turned around and walked firmly.

"Jingshi, isn't it another chance for me Zhuge Jin......"
