The Three Kingdoms

The torrential rain poured violently on the majestic Jinling City. Bit by bit, the rain water was like soybeans, hitting the green bricks and red tiles heavily, making a ticking sound, venting the arrogance of the rainstorm.

Donghou Mansion.

Hongzi is [-] years old this year. He is tall and tall, with a fair face, not handsome, but his square face has a unique temperament. He is wearing a blue robe and a feather fan in his hand. government.

Behind him is a young man who is also in his twenties. The young man is dressed in pure white, has a dignified appearance, wears a scarf on his head, and has an extraordinary temperament.

Under the leadership of the guards of the Donghou Mansion, the two walked into the Donghou Mansion, passed through the front lobby, and walked in a long gallery while watching the raindrops falling from the sky.

"Brother Ziyu, this is the Donghou Mansion. Once you enter, you may not be able to come out!"

Hongzi stopped suddenly, turned around, stared at the white-clothed young man behind him, and said softly: "Zhongmou is not as overbearing as Brother Bofu, but his sword is not blunt, and he is murderous. It can be said to be vicious, and besides, he seems to have a lot of hostility towards Lingdi, if he vents his anger on you, this matter will be troublesome, are you sure you want to go in now?"

"Bodao, how can a man shrink back because of difficulties in doing things? Donghou is a rare young hero in Jiangdong. If he is such a caring generation, he is not worthy of being optimistic for a few years!" Calmly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said confidently.

"Ugh!"

Hearing the words, Hong Zi knew that he couldn't be persuaded, he sighed, his eyes flashed with determination, and said: "You and I have known each other for several years, and we love brothers, since you insist on entering Donghou's mansion today, a certain one has no choice but to risk his life to accompany you." You go, if you are in trouble, let me wait for the two to bear it together, and Zhongmou will give my brother-in-law half of the face!"

"Brother Bodao is righteous, Ziyu will never forget it!"

Hearing the words, the commoner youth was a little moved, looked at Hongzi, bowed slightly, and saluted to express his gratitude.

"Let's go!"

Hongzi held a hundred hands, and the two walked straight through the long corridor and entered an elegant side hall. They looked up, only to see a young man sitting on the grand teacher's chair without any posture, grabbing a brightly colored It is very pleasant to taste the fruit as if there is no one there.

"Brother-in-law, you are here!"

Sun Quan looked up, and hastily put down the mango he had paid tribute from Jiaozhou, then picked up a handkerchief, wiped away the residue from the corner of his mouth, stood up, smiled slightly at Hongzi, and said, "This is a fresh fruit, Jiaozhou special fruit. It is produced in the land of Jiangdong, but not yet in Jiangdong. Recently, a prefect of Jiaozhou paid tribute to the king. I stole it from the palace yesterday when I went to visit the queen mother in the palace. Try it, it’s very sweet!"

"Zhongmou, you must be too courageous!" Hongzi, as a son-in-law, abides by his duty, does not enter the imperial court, ignores the government affairs, and finds a teaching position in Zhongshan Academy. He is very free and easy.

He sat down directly, and when he heard Sun Quan say this, he was a little surprised in his heart, looked at him, and scolded softly: "This is the tribute from the father, and you dare to steal it? It's really disrespectful."

"Hehe, my father doesn't like to eat this food at all, and besides, my mother and queen are here, so my father won't find out!"

Sun Quan said with a grin.

The brothers and sisters of the Sun family are not as ordinary as other families. Except for him and Sun Ce, the other brothers and sisters are still very united. Sun Quan also has a certain affection for his sister Sun Qing. Hongzi, he is also very optimistic.

Hongzi also has a lot of talents, he is well read in poetry and books, and uses what he learns wisely. He is not a bookworm who dies in reading, but Hongzi is not willing to enter the government to avoid suspicion, so he has nothing to do.

"Who is this?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes suddenly, looked past Hongzi, looked at the young man behind Hongzi, and asked with doubts in his heart, "Brother-in-law, is this your friend?"

"Zhongmou, a certain person who came here today wants to recommend a talent for you!"

Hongzi pondered for a while, stood up, looked at Zhuge Jin, introduced him softly, and said, "This is Zhuge Jin, whose name is Ziyu, and is a good friend of a certain person. Ziyu came from Langya and has settled in Jiangdong for several years. I chatted with Wenwen, he is very talented, knowledgeable in both literature and martial arts, and now he wants to be an official in Wu, and find a job in your East Marquis Mansion, is it possible?"

"Langya Zhuge Jin, pay homage to Donghou!"

The young man in civilian clothes stood up magnanimously, his eyes were as clear as water, he stared at Sun Quan's body, sized him up carefully, and then bowed and said.

"Zhuge Jin?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his body trembled involuntarily, and the light in his amber pupils shrank continuously.

Zhuge Jin?

Brother Zhuge Liang?

Sun Quan's future right-hand man?

"You are Zhuge Jin?"

Sun Quan stared fixedly at this young man, sized him up carefully, and asked with some uncertainty.

"It's right here!" Zhuge Jin was a little puzzled. Sun Quan's eyes were so strange that he couldn't understand.

Of course he didn't quite understand the excitement in Sun Quan's heart.

Zhuge Jin?

Is he the Zhuge Jin in history?

In history, Sun Quan relied on Sun Ce's foundation to establish the Wu Kingdom, one of the Three Kingdoms, but he did not accept Sun Ce's team. Zhou Yu was almost put on hold by him to death, and Tai Shici also died in depression.

In history, Sun Quan has basically discarded Sun Ce's civil servants and generals, and formed his own team, among which Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were the core of the civil servants.

"Who is Zhuge Liang?" Sun Quan pondered for a while, wanting to confirm his identity, asked,

"It's the younger brother!"

Zhuge Jin had no expression on his face, his eyes were indifferent, he nodded in response, and said.

Zhuge's family was originally a noble family in Langya, but in the early years, the family was in decline. Zhuge Jin's elder father, Zhuge Gui, died of illness in the position of Taishan County's prime minister. In retaliation, the whole family went into exile and went south to Jiangdong.

Zhuge Xuan originally wanted to go to Yuzhang and seek refuge with a good friend, but Yuzhang was facing a contest between Sun Jian and Hua Xin, so he took Zhuge's two sisters and three brothers to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. At that time Zhuge Liang was still young , but Zhuge Jin has grown up.

He was very dissatisfied with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and he didn't want to stay in Jingzhou, so he went out to study around.

He came to Jiangdong, and stayed in Jiangdong for several years to study everywhere. At this time, Zhuge Jin already had a certain feeling for Wu Guo.

In the third year of Chuping, Zhuge Xuan died of illness, and he went to Jingzhou to attend the funeral. At this time, the Zhuge family had established a foothold in Xiangyang.

Zhugejin completely let go of the burden of the Zhuge family, and began to continue to return to Jiangdong for study tours, lingering in Jiangdong Academy for many years, and later transferred to Jiangdong Academy.

Not long ago, Zhuge Jin heard that his younger brother Zhuge Liang had become an official in Liu Bei in Xinye, so he also began to think about becoming an official in Wu State.

If he wants to become an official in Wu State, he must have a scholarly Confucian to promote his official career. This is not a problem for him. His younger generation in Wu State's scholarly circle has a small reputation, and several teachers from Zhongshan Academy are also willing to do it for him. Xiaolian.

But he was proud and arrogant, and he was unwilling to start silently as a pawn. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to fight hard and chose the road of Conglong.

This is a shortcut to an official career, and it is also an extremely dangerous official path.

Between Sun Ce and Sun Quan, he finally chose Sun Quan. After all, he was a scholar. Among scholars, many scholars had a more profound influence on Sun Quan than Sun Ce, so he was more optimistic about Sun Quan.

"It sure is him!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. When luck came, it really couldn't be stopped. Not long ago, he sent a Pang Tong to his door automatically, and now he sent another Zhuge Jin.

"Mr. Zhuge, please sit down!"

At this moment, Sun Quan's gaze became hot, and he said softly to Zhuge Jin: "Your younger brother Zhuge Liang is serving in Xinye Liu Bei, why did you come to vote for Wu?"

"As the saying goes: different ways do not conspire with each other. Although Kong Ming and I are brothers, our ambitions are different and the people we see are different. We should be our own rulers and masters!" Zhuge Jin was not embarrassed. Sitting down gracefully, he answered Sun Quan's question sincerely.

"There are two princes in the east of the river, both of whom can be kings. Why do you take the east?"
