The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Xuan returned the salute with a smile and said, "Brother Ren, Brother Yu also congratulates you on being appointed by your lord as the governor of Zhuo County!"

"I don't know what the lord called us to the banquet today?" Ren Heng didn't understand why Liu Rui called them here.

Zhuge Xuan shook his head and said, "You'll know when you go in!"

"The two of you are here, why don't you go in?" At this time, a carriage stopped at the gate of the county governor's house, and the two brothers Xun Yu and Xun You got out of the carriage.

"Gong Wen Ruo, Gong Da Gong!" Zhuge Xuan and Ren Heng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Although the four of them knew each other privately, Xun Yu and Xun You were much higher than Zhuge Xuan and Ren Heng in terms of positions, and they all knew that Xun Yu had recommended their promotion, so they naturally respected him.

Xun Yu said with a smile: "Go in quickly, don't make the lord wait for a long time!"

After speaking, the group walked into the county governor's mansion together.

"My lord, Wen Ruo, Gongda and the two county governors have all arrived outside waiting for the lord to summon him!" Mei Changsu walked into the conference hall and reported to Liu Rui.

Liu Rui was approving the copywriting, and said without raising his head: "Changsu, how are the preparations for the banquet?"

"It's ready, you can open the seat at any time!" Mei Changsu said with a smile.

Liu Rui said: "You take them there first, I'll be there soon!"

"promise!"

After Liu Rui approved the copy in his hand, he brought Shangguan Wan'er and Cai Yan to the banquet hall.

"Meet the lord!"

When everyone in the hall saw Liu Rui's arrival, they hurriedly got up and bowed in salute.

Liu Rui came to the main seat, sat down, glanced at the people in the court, and said with a smile, "Everyone sit down!"

After everyone was seated, Liu Rui asked with a smile, "Which one is Zhuge Xuan, and which one is Ren Heng?"

"Zhuge Xuan pays homage to the lord!"

"Ren Heng greets the lord!"

Zhuge Xuan and Ren Heng stood up and bowed their hands.

Liu Rui glanced at Zhuge Xuan and Ren Heng.

Sitting next to Zhuge Xuan was an eight or nine-year-old child, who should be Zhuge Liang.And the young man in his twenties was Zhuge Jin.

Liu Rui waved his hand for the two of them to sit down, and then said to Mei Changsu, who was sitting on his right side: "Changsu, open the seat!"

"promise!"

Mei Changsu bowed his hands and waved to the guards standing behind him. Immediately, a group of maids entered the hall carrying all kinds of delicious dishes that had been prepared for a long time. , , .

186: Liu Rui's question for Ziyu

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Rui and everyone were also very happy to chat.Zhuge Xuan, Ren Heng and the others were no longer so cautious when they first met Liu Rui.

Zhuge Xuan glanced at Zhuge Jin, who was sitting in his lower seat. Naturally, he did not forget that he had to recommend his nephew to Liu Rui today to help him get a half-official position.

"My lord, Xuan has a word." Zhuge Xuan suddenly stood up and cupped his hands to Liu Rui, and everyone in the hall stopped talking when they saw this, and all their eyes were on Zhuge Xuan.

Liu Rui also looked at Zhuge Xuan with great interest, and said with a smile: "Master Zhuge, please tell me if you have anything!"

Zhuge Xuan took a deep breath and said, "My lord, I have a nephew who has been reading poetry and books since childhood. Now that he is twenty years old, he would like to recommend him to serve under the lord's account!" Zhuge Xuan also went out of his way and recommended Zhuge Jin to Liu Rui.

Mei Changsu, Xun Yu, and Xun You had a smile on the corners of their mouths.The three right-hand men under Liu Rui's seat, they also analyzed some clues about Liu Rui's intention to hold a banquet today, but they guessed that Liu Rui wanted to promote the juniors of Zhuge Xuan and Ren Heng.Even if Zhuge Xuan didn't speak up himself, the three of them would cooperate with Liu Rui to guide the topic to the younger generation later.

Liu Rui glanced at Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang with a smile and said, "I don't know which one Lord Zhuge recommended?"

"Ziyu!" Zhuge Xuan whispered to Zhuge Jin beside him.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly stood up, walked to the middle, bowed and saluted, "Zhuge Jin greets the lord!"

Liu Rui smiled slightly. Although Zhuge Jin was much less talented than Zhuge Liang, he still had some fame in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he was by no means a dummy.

The three Zhuge brothers were called dragons, tigers and dogs in history.The dragon is naturally Zhuge Liang, the tiger is Zhuge Jin, and the dog is Zhuge Dan, one of the Four Consciousnesses.All three of them have left their mark in history.

Even if Zhuge Xuan did not recommend himself, Liu Rui would not waste a talent like Zhuge Jin in vain.

With a faint smile on the corner of Liu Rui's mouth, he said: "No need to be more polite, just now your uncle said that you read poetry and books, so I will consider you, if you are really like what your uncle said, I will naturally reuse you! "

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Liu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Ziyu, if I appoint you to be the governor of Changshan, how will you manage Changshan?"

Zhuge Jin said with a little thought: "If a certain person is the governor of Changshan County, he must be governed by virtue."

Liu Rui said noncommittally: "How exactly?"

"The Master said that in order to govern with virtue, it is like Beichen, where the stars are in their place. On the basis of legal principles, punishment is used to support virtue, use virtue to eliminate punishment, and sympathize with punishment and kill carefully!" Zhuge Jin quoted the words in the Analects. came up with its own way of governing.

After listening to this, everyone nodded and applauded. Since Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of Confucianism, the Confucianism of ruling the country by virtue has really taken root in the hearts of the people.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Liu Rui also kept nodding, and was quite satisfied with Zhuge Jin's answer.

Just when everyone thought that Zhuge Jin passed the test, Liu Rui suddenly said: "Ziyu, although your talent is very good, but I can't use you. You are Zhuge Xuan's nephew, if I use you, I'm afraid your uncle If I want to carry a reputation of recommending cronyism, I am afraid that I will also end up with a reputation of unknown people!"

"Ah!" Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin were struck by lightning.

Ren Heng on the side also felt sorry for Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin. Xun Yu, Xun You, and Mei Changsu did not speak, and looked at Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin with great interest.
