Early the next morning, Zhuge Jin had eaten in the morning, packed up, and was ready to go to the palace. When he walked to the front hall, he saw his sister Zhuge Rong waiting in the front hall.
This is the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family, younger than Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin is the eldest son and Zhuge Rong is the eldest daughter.
In ancient times, the male and female heirs in a family were ranked separately and would not be mixed together.
When Zhuge Jin saw his sister, he smiled and said, "Rong'er, it's early in the morning. You're waiting at the door. What can I do?"
Zhuge Rong is twenty-one years old and has reached the age of marriage. She has not chosen a son-in-law yet and is still waiting to be married. She has a slender figure and is dressed in a long white dress. She looks elegant and elegant, with a bookish air.
She has bright eyes and a faint smile on her lips, giving people a soft and elegant impression.
When Zhuge Rong saw Zhuge Jin, he smiled and took out a sachet from his sleeve, handed it to Zhuge Jin, and said: "You are now the chief clerk of the palace, so you must pay attention to your identity and image. In my opinion, my uncle is right.
, Brother, it’s time for you to get married. If you have a sister-in-law to take care of things for you, it won’t be so rough.”
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "What's wrong with a man who doesn't have a wife? Don't worry."
Zhuge Rong waited for Zhuge Jin to put on the sachet, looked at it carefully, then showed a satisfied look and said: "I heard that Xun Yu, under Cao Cao, wears a sachet every day and incense himself, wherever he goes,
They are all fragrant."
"Brother, you are the chief reporter around King Wu. Your official position is not high, but it is very important. Therefore, when you are outside, you represent the face of our Zhuge family. Naturally, you cannot lose your status and you must be more careful."
Zhuge Jin waved his hand and said, "Rong'er, what you said is right, but I don't care. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
He just left.
Zhuge Rong looked at Zhuge Jin's leaving figure, shook her head, turned around and walked back, feeling deeply in her heart that the family's yang was seriously in decline.
My uncle has no wife!
The eldest brother doesn’t have a wife!
The second brother didn’t marry a wife!
She is sad.
You have to worry about this matter, otherwise, the house will not run well without a mistress.
Zhuge Rong was thinking in her mind, and suddenly thought of the last time Princess Wu invited them, the female relatives of important ministers of the Wu Kingdom, to a banquet. The Zhuge family was invited at that time, because neither Zhuge Xuan nor Zhuge Jin had married, so she went there on behalf of the Zhuge family.
.
Next time, if something like this happens again, you can ask the princess to make arrangements.
Things are simple.
Zhuge Rong thought clearly, and felt increasingly happy and secure in her heart, and returned home with brisk steps.
Zhuge Jin took a carriage to the palace, but felt his ears were a little hot, as if someone was talking about him. When he arrived at the palace, he did his daily work first. After all, he, Yang Xiu, Lu Rong, Kan Ze, and Lu Xun served as Lu Xuan's chief reporter.
Every day, we have to deal with many things.
When Lu Xuan came to the study from the backyard and started working, Zhuge Jin went to the study to pay homage and bowed: "Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan looked at Zhuge Jin.
He smelled a faint fragrance, with a hint of jasmine and a hint of angelica, because angelica is refreshing. The reason why Lu Xuan knew it was because both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had done it for him.
Lu Xuanxiao asked: "Tzuyu, you put on the sachet today, do you have a sweetheart?"
Zhuge Jin quickly said: "I only focus on my work and don't think about anything else for the time being. This sachet was made by my sister-in-law, which made the king laugh."
Lu Xuan praised: "The workmanship is fine and you can see the ingenuity. It's very good."
Zhuge Jin said humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you very much."
Lu Xuandao: "What's the matter?"
Zhuge Jin replied: "This report to the king is from Zhuge Liang, the second brother of Guan Chen. Last night, he returned home from the Five Classics Hall and said that he was going to Nanjing to build a new capital this time, intending to expose his whereabouts and use it as a bait to lure people with evil intentions.
Take action. He will leave Shu County to take up his post in Nanjing County tomorrow morning, please make arrangements with your Majesty."
Lu Xuan understood immediately.
Moving the capital is no small matter.
There are various interests involved here.
The most direct point is that the local big families cannot migrate, and their interests will inevitably be damaged. Driven by interests, some people will be willing to take a gamble. Zhuge Liang used himself as bait, which was equivalent to solving the problem for Lu Xuan, and also letting Lu Xuan solve the problem for him.
.
Lu Xuandao: "I understand."
Zhuge Jin bowed, stood up and left.
Lu Xuan thought for a while, then arranged for someone to call Chen Deng and said, "Yuanlong, Zhuge Liang has made adjustments. He released news to the outside world that he would leave Shu County tomorrow morning, in order to lure people who might take action secretly.
"
"You should arrange for people to protect Zhuge Liang's safety. Especially when you leave the city tomorrow morning, there is a certain degree of danger. In addition, when you are far away from Shu County, someone may take action."
Lu Xuan ordered: "In short, closely monitor every move in Shu County."
Chen Deng replied: "Your Majesty, there are elite rangers under the Xiuyi Guards, who are enough to protect Zhuge Liang's safety. However, we have to arrange for Zhuge Liang to be his personal entourage to ensure that nothing goes wrong. I plan to temporarily arrange people to stay with Zhuge Liang."
.”
Lu Xuan ordered: "To be specific, please arrange it carefully."
Chen Dengdao: "I obey your orders."
"Go ahead."
Lu Xuan waved his hand.
After Chen Deng left, he arranged for people to contact Zhuge Liang. After all, Zhuge Liang stayed at home and did not go out casually, so it was easy to arrange.
While Chen Deng was making intensive arrangements, the Zhou family in the south of Shu County!
This is Zhou Xin's home in Kuaiji County.
Zhou Xin failed to lobby Zhang Zhao and was beaten. He despised the poor scholars in the Five Classics Hall. However, the Qionglin Banquet organized by Lu Xuan had a great influence and made the scholars in the Five Classics Hall very popular.
In the end, Zhou Xin chose to follow his heart, put aside his status, and arranged for a marriage. The target he chose was Zhuge Liang, hoping to marry a daughter of the Zhou family to Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang actually refused, making Zhou Xin extremely angry.
This time Zhuge Liang suggested moving the capital, which offended the big families with roots in Shu County.
Therefore, Zhou Xin's idea changed from hoping for a marriage to revenge against Zhuge Liang. Moreover, his plan was also from the standpoint of his own big family and wanted to attack the first batch of poor scholars in the Five Classics Hall headed by Zhuge Liang.
In the study, Zhou Xin waited quietly.
As the sound of footsteps came, Zhou Xin looked up and saw the three people coming. They were Chen Tang, Peng Yuan and Cao Xi.
This was a wealthy local clan in Shu County in the past.
Last time, because of the Xiangrui incident, the three major families were involved, and were eventually dealt with coldly by Lu Xuan, who did not meet with the three of them. However, at that time, Lu Xuan did not deal with the three major families either.
This time, Zhou Xin invited three people.
Zhou Xin stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "You three, please sit down!"
The three of them sat down, looking calm, and did not take the lead in speaking out.
Zhou Xin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Tomorrow morning, Zhuge Liang will leave Shu County and go to Moling County to take up his post. When he goes to Moling County, he will build Nanjing, the new imperial capital of Wu State. Once the new capital is built, it will be a big help for us big people.
The family is quite disadvantaged. What do you think of this matter?"
Chen Tang said: "Master Zhou, tell me what you have to say. What are you going to do?"
Cao Xi and Peng Yuan also looked at Zhou Xin.
Everyone looked a little solemn.
When it comes to Zhuge Liang, Zhou Xin obviously has to deal with Fang Geliang, otherwise, he would not bring it up. However, this matter will definitely involve Lu Xuan. They are afraid of Lu Xuan from the bottom of their hearts, so they are a little frightened and worried.
