1019th, what my brother said, won my heart

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

Now Zhuge Jin is the elder brother, and his elder brother is like his father, and he is more binding on his younger brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun.

Zhuge Jin does not want Zhuge Liang, who works in the cabinet, to leave Luoyang and go to another place.

He is actively working and has a good relationship with Zhang Zhao, who is also from Xuzhou, and tries every means to ask Zhang Zhao to arrange a position in Shangshu for Zhuge Liang.

He wanted Zhuge Liang to come out of the cabinet, formally join the central power hub, and start 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 secretary department.

Although he has the power called auditing and has a certain deterrent effect on Shangshutai, he is not a real service department after all, and has no real power.

The cabinet is Guo Peng's voice worm, and of course, it is also protected by special protection.

But if you don’t come out and don’t hold power in the Shangshutai, you won’t be really involved in imperial politics.

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

Only by being released from the Shangshutai can one truly improve its status.

During two huge political turmoils, the cabinet was involved, but the damage was small in the end.

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

The one who suffered the most was Cao Cao, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was demoted, lost a lot of fiefs, and even took some benefits. However, he was still the chief minister of the cabinet, holding power.

Zhuge Liang and his friends were safe and sound.

These friends from disadvantaged areas, such as Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian, were favored by Zhuge Jin and wanted to promote them.

Zhuge Jin and others were eager to seek talented people and eager to let them work in the Shangshutai and help them enter the Shangshutai so as to facilitate their confrontation with the people of Qing, Yan and Ji prefectures.

However, it seems that this idea is not recognized by Zhuge Liang.

"Brother, if you cannot really contact the people and truly see how those villages work, the officials will not understand how the Wei State works.

The huge Wei Kingdom was accumulated by villages one by one, and the accumulation of military farmer people. This is something that all the former Han warlords could not do. I want to go and see it."

Zhuge Liang asked Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin frowned at it.

"Aliang, you should know that the local conditions cannot be compared with Luoyang, let alone those lower-level villages, without stone roads, not so many public toilets, and no incense, only old farmers who farm.

If this is not important, the promotion of Luoyang officials and the promotion of local officials are all different things. If local officials are that important, Lu Zijing should have been promoted as a brother when he was the governor of Pingzhou.

But I was not promoted until now. This is the gap between the local and the central government. When you enter the Shangshutai to be an official, what you see and hear are not the same level as what you see and hear in the local area. The local experience is unnecessary for you.”

Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged and his thoughts remained unchanged.

"Brother, what I do is Wei State, not just promotion. If I want to be promoted, how could I leave Luoyang on my own initiative? If I don't want to be promoted, how could I leave Luoyang on my own initiative?"

"What does this mean?"

Zhuge Jin was a little stunned and didn't respond to the meaning of his brothers for a while.

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

What I do as an official in Luoyang is doing for the local area, but I don’t know what the local area is like. I want to go to the place, go to the bottom, and truly understand what the local area is doing now and what changes are happening.

If there are any good things and bad things, only if I really understand them, I will know what I should do in Luoyang and how I should do it, rather than deviating from reality and doing ridiculous things."

Zhuge Liang explained patiently.

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

"Aliang, I understand what you mean, but..."

Zhuge Jin still had some doubts.

"Brother, what Your Majesty likes nowadays is a talent that can do practical things. Your Majesty is now a leader in the army and conquers the world and is well aware of the needs of the people. If you cannot understand what the people really need, you cannot understand what Your Majesty is thinking today, and it will be difficult to truly gain a foothold in the court."

Zhuge Liang continued to persuade Zhuge Jin.

But this statement made Zhuge Jin interested.

"This makes sense..."

"Of course this is the case. Brother, many of the people valued by Your Majesty are basically the people who fought from the army with Your Majesty at that time. They have all experienced the fight at the bottom and know the needs of the people.

So they know what to do in Luoyang, understand Junxin, and do things that meet the needs of Your Majesty, and if we don’t understand, we will never replace them.”

Zhuge Liang gave the reason that Zhuge Jin could not ignore or reject.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Zhuge Jin stopped stopping Zhuge Liang.

"What my brother said is deeply appreciated by my heart."

Zhuge Jin said this.

Then Zhuge Jin told Zhuge Liang that it was really not easy to find a position for Zhuge Liang in the central department, and Zhang Zhao didn't dare to make a promise, but it would be too simple to release him.

Local officials everywhere were squeezing their heads and trying to enter the central government, but they really didn't see a few central officials who wanted to go out to the local area. The central government's local area was basically the emperor's intention.

Zhuge Liang wanted to leave the country, and it was more than enough to be a county magistrate.

So Zhuge Jin found a short time to pay homage to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao was very curious when he learned about Zhuge Jin's purpose.

"It's all local officials who want to come to Luoyang to be an official. Are your brothers extraordinary? They actually ask for an outgoing request?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "It is not a good choice to release it now. It is either in the south of the Yangtze River or in the northwest. It is full of newly occupied land, which is very bitter and cold, and has very poor conditions.

More importantly, there is a certain danger. When officials first arrived, they didn’t know whether the local people were willing to obey the central government. How troublesome it would be to open up, so few people were willing to go there.

I am worried that many county officials have no one to do, and many local officials cannot fill it. Basically, the people who are willing to go to are poor families from the Imperial College. I am looking for people everywhere, which is very troublesome."

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