Can I get to the other side?

Liu Xie's happiness was not fake.

Although he had met many civil officials and military generals since he traveled through time, including Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia who left a deep impression in history, he was still uncontrollably excited at this moment.

Because the person standing in front of him was:

The last prime minister of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, a powerful official who had almost no bad reviews in history, a loyal official who was praised for thousands of years even after failure, and a minister that all emperors dreamed of, the most dazzling star in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and the one who occupied one of the hundreds of Chinese histories - Zhuge Kongming!

"Sir, please get up quickly!" Liu Xie suppressed his excitement, reached out his hand to help Zhuge Liang up, held on to his arm and said with a happy face: "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and now I finally meet you, my wish has come true!"

"With your help, it is better than having an arm!"

When Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard this, they turned their heads away without leaving any trace, so that no one could see the corners of their mouths twitching constantly.

Especially Jia Xu, he had clearly prepared a more elegant set of words for the emperor, but he never thought that after the emperor used it once, he returned to the arm.

He was already counting in his mind how many arms this was.

When Zhuge Liang heard this for the first time, he felt flattered and confused at the same time when he faced the emperor's enthusiasm and excitement.

He was just a country bumpkin.

Where did the great name come from?

But he also felt that the emperor's excitement was from the heart, not the kind of superficial effort that was pretended.

Putting aside his doubts, Zhuge Liang looked at the hands that were clinging to his arms, and his heart was very moved.

"Your Majesty is so polite, I am not afraid."

Liu Xie was about to speak, Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty just went to the fields and got wet in the rain, and your shoes and socks are also wet. Be careful not to catch a cold, you might as well change your clothes first."

Seeing this, Guo Jia immediately cooperated with Jia Xu and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is a loss of the emperor's dignity."

As the Chief Censor, he has the duty to correct the misbehavior of officials in front of the palace, and also has the responsibility to remind the emperor of misbehavior.

Gao Lan has been influenced by what he has seen and heard, and his ability to read people's words and expressions is already good. He said: "The Chief Censor doesn't know that your majesty was originally inspecting the spring plowing in the fields outside the city and encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland. He heard that Mr. Kong Ming entered the palace, so he hurried back. Therefore, there is a lot of mud on his body."

As the three sang in unison, Sima Yi could see that the emperor valued Zhuge Liang, and his heart became heavier.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xie, who was covered in mud and looked a bit embarrassed, and a warm current surged in his heart.

The emperor treated him as a national hero, how could he not fight to the death?

"It's just a little muddy rain, no problem." Liu Xie waved his hand to reject Jia Xu's suggestion, and said nonchalantly: "I'm not that weak, and there are no outsiders here, so I don't care about the majesty."

"Yuanbo, go get me clean shoes and clothes."

Liu Xie took off the dirty dragon robe and shoes and socks on his feet while speaking, and threw them to Gao Lan.

Gao Lan took the dragon robe and shoes and socks and retreated.

At this time, the ministers in the hall had a huge wave in their hearts because of Liu Xie's words, and they all cast their eyes on Zhuge Liang.

There are no outsiders, this sentence is of great significance.

This is not just a simple liking for Zhuge Liang.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Gao Lan, needless to say, were among the first batch of ministers to accompany Liu Xie;

And Sima Yi had made great contributions many times and was also considered one of the emperor's confidants.

But Zhuge Liang had just arrived in Yecheng.

He was also regarded as a confidant by the emperor!

At this time, Sima Yi was both happy and complicated. He was happy that he was finally regarded as a confidant by the emperor, and complicated because he had worked hard for a long time to achieve the achievement, but Zhuge Liang got it as soon as he arrived.

"Your Majesty..."

Even though he knew that the emperor's move was meant to win people's hearts, Zhuge Liang's eyes were still red.

He was just a commoner, and the emperor valued and treated him so much. Whether it was to win people's hearts or not, it was a great gift from heaven!

How many people in ancient and modern times can get such an honor?

"Sit down."

Liu Xie waved his hand, and at the same time noticed the change in Zhuge Liang's expression, so he stopped talking and stopped talking. It would be too deliberate to continue.

There was a stove burning in the Xuanshi, and it was not cold.

There was no chill even with bare feet on the ground.

Liu Xie walked to the main seat, asked everyone to sit down, and said: "I went out of the city today to inspect the farming situation of the people."

"The practical effect of the Jian'an plow is very good. Using this plow can greatly increase the speed of land reclamation, and the people all praise it."

Although the best place to use the curved plow is in the south, he asked Zhen's craftsmen to make some changes to the topography and conditions in the north, so it is also applicable in the north.

In short, compared with the traditional straight plow, the curved plow is definitely better.

Guo Jia said with emotion: "The Jian'an plow invented by your majesty can be said to be a thing that benefits the country and the people. With this plow, it is easier for the people to farm. This year must be a bumper year."

Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and having enough food is the first priority in the world. The curved plow can increase the speed of land reclamation, and its importance even exceeds that of the textile machine.

Liu Xie was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I plan to mobilize all the refugees outside the city to open up good fields and open up wasteland."

"This will not only save labor, but also allow the people to be stable. What do you think?"

Those refugees were indeed a burden in the winter, but now that they have survived the winter, they are precious labor.

If they are all allowed to cultivate good fields, as long as there is no major natural disaster, this year's grain production will definitely double.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Sima Yi was the first to speak. He habitually patted the dragon's fart, and then gave his own suggestion: "I think we can distribute Jian'an plows to the people for free, and at the same time promise them that the good fields they reclaim will belong to them."

"As long as this policy is implemented, not only those refugees, but also ordinary people will actively participate in reclamation."

Sima Yi's move was to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim wasteland to the greatest extent. After all, for the people, the land is everything.

The reclaimed fields belong to individuals. It is conceivable how crazy and excited the people will be when they learn about this.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang seemed to want to say something.

But after hesitating again and again, he still did not speak.

Liu Xie noticed his reaction and asked, "What does Kongming think about this? If you have anything to say, you can speak frankly. If it is a suitable suggestion, I will accept it. There is no need to be shy."

The reason why he wanted to discuss this matter in public was to give Zhuge Liang a chance to show his ability, and also to see how Zhuge Liang, who was 20 years old, was compared to the 27-year-old Zhuge Liang.

Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang again.

A commoner could directly participate in the discussion of such a major national event. The emperor really valued this person.

"Reporting to your majesty." Zhuge Liang saluted Liu Xie with full etiquette like Kong Rong, and said in a serious manner: "Sima Yushi's suggestion is very good, but I think it is still a little inadequate."

Sima Yi sat up straight after hearing this, looked at him with burning eyes and said, "I wonder if you have any advice?"

He was aroused by Zhuge Liang's words.

Because he originally wanted to show off in front of the emperor, but Zhuge Liang said that his suggestion was inadequate, he wanted to see what this countryman could say!

"It's not really advice, just some poor opinions." Zhuge Liang said modestly, "Distributing Jian'an plows for free and letting the people reclaim all the good land will certainly greatly increase the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim wasteland, but it is not the best policy."

"I think that in the form of leasing, let the people borrow Jian'an plows, oxen, and seeds from the court; and the way to repay is to collect a small part of the good land they reclaim as official land."

"In this way, it can not only reduce the unnecessary loss caused by the free distribution of Jian'an plows, but also will not reduce the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim wasteland. At the same time, it will allow the people to cultivate the land after reclaiming it, and the court will get a large amount of official land..."

Zhuge Liang talked freely, expressing all his thoughts, and then bowed to Liu Xie and said: "My humble opinion, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

There was silence in the Xuanshi.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu both had a flash of surprise in their eyes. After looking at each other, they unanimously raised their evaluation of Zhuge Liang in their hearts.

This man is indeed extraordinary.

Sima Yi was also shocked, because Zhuge Liang's suggestions were more perfect and more brilliant than his!

"Who the hell is he?"

Sima Yi stared at Zhuge Liang, clenching his teeth.

This guy who came out of nowhere in front of him was not less talented than him.

"Kong Ming is right."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's advice, Liu Xie smiled and praised.

The last trace of worry in his heart also dissipated.

He was worried that Zhuge Liang was too young and had not grown up, but now it seems that he can only say that the prime minister is the prime minister, and he is indeed strong in handling internal affairs.

If the internal affairs score is a total of 100 points.

Then Zhuge Liang is definitely as high as 200!

And Zhuge Liang is only 20 years old at present. Let him get in touch with politics and national affairs six or seven years in advance, maybe he will grow up to be more terrifying than in history.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie was very excited.

After being happy, he said to Guo Jia: "Just implement the strategy proposed by Kong Ming, and this matter needs to be done as soon as possible."

"I accept your order."

Guo Jia bowed his hand and agreed.

Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang again and said, "I know very well the talent and learning of Kong Ming. When he first arrived in Yecheng, he was appointed as the Minister of State Affairs. In the future, he will discuss government affairs with Zhongda, Fengxiao, Wenhe and others."

Although Liu Xie knew how talented Zhuge Liang was, he was standing from the perspective of a historical bystander, and others did not know.

He is the emperor now. If he summons anyone and directly entrusts him with a high-ranking position, let alone the ministers in the court, I am afraid that even Guo Jia and Jia Xu will have objections.

You have to eat one bite at a time.

Zhuge Liang now needs experience and growth, so he gave him the position of Minister of State Affairs, without real power, but he can discuss government affairs.

And this position in the inner court is different from the outer court. The emperor can appoint him at will, and no one can interfere.

When Zhuge Liang's qualifications are accumulated in the future, it will not be too late to put him in the outer court to hold real power.

"Minister, thank your majesty for your grace!"

Zhuge Liang was shocked and immediately came to the center of the Xuanshi Hall to kowtow to Liu Xie to thank him.

Chang Shilang, participating in government affairs!

This is equivalent to entering the core of the Han Empire directly. Not only can he be with the emperor all the time, but he can also put forward opinions and ideas on national affairs.

This is simply the position he has always dreamed of!

This reward was expected by Guo Jia and Jia Xu, but Sima Yi didn't think so. Seeing Zhuge Liang kneeling down to thank him, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He made suggestions and worked hard to conquer Bingzhou before he was honored as a regular servant. However, Zhuge Liang started as a regular servant and could participate in government affairs with him.

This means that Zhuge Liang will receive greater respect from the emperor in the future!

"This person will definitely become my fierce enemy!"

Sima Yi put aside all his contempt for Zhuge Liang and truly regarded him as a comparable opponent.

He must regain the emperor's respect and favor!

Liu Xie nodded and said: "Kong Ming, please get up. There is no need to be so formal in private. It's getting late, do you have a place to stay?"

When mentioning this matter, Zhuge Liang's face was slightly dull, and he shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just arrived in Yecheng and have no relatives here... I don't know where I will settle down yet."

In fact, he was born in the Zhuge family and was not a real country man. His family was also quite wealthy.

But this trip to Yecheng was too hasty, and everything was burned by Qingzhu and lost in the thatched cottage. He was now penniless.

Where to rest tonight is the question.

After hearing this, Jia Xu took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, my residence is quite large and there are many vacant rooms. Let Kong Ming stay in my residence for the time being."

"No need to go to such trouble." Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I will ask someone to find him a house tomorrow. He will just rest in the palace for today. There happens to be a bed in the side hall of the Xuanshi."

When everyone heard this, their faces showed shock.

Staying in the palace? !

Is this an honor that a minister who has just entered the court can have?

This is an honor that only the pillars of the country in the past dynasties occasionally have!

Zhuge Liang was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly: "This, how can this be done? I haven't done anything yet, how can I be so virtuous as to receive such an honor from your majesty..."

Liu Xie stepped forward and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be alarmed. Previously, you even slept with me as a filial piety."

"It's just that he doesn't sleep well, and he snores while sleeping. I slept with him once and then I never let him stay overnight again."

Hearing the ridicule in Liu Xie's words, Guo Jia held it in for a long time and then said sarcastically: "I... have changed my snoring problem."

Liu Xie burst out laughing when he heard this.

Seeing this scene where the king and his ministers were in harmony, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with yearning and deep joy.

The so-called "seeing the leopard through the tube", from Liu Xie's few words, he could see the unbridled character and decisive courage of His Majesty.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

But in such troubled times, it is undoubtedly the great fortune of the Han Dynasty to have such an emperor who acts according to his heart, and such an enlightened monarch is what he pursues.

"My lord, thank you for your grace."

Zhuge Liang did not refuse anymore and bowed deeply to thank him.

At this time, he was completely convinced by Liu Xie.

At the same time, a raging fighting spirit ignited in his heart - he must seize this opportunity, he must make some achievements, and cannot live up to the emperor's high expectations for him.

In a happy atmosphere.

Sima Yi seemed a little out of place.

He felt like his back molars were almost broken, and his jealousy and envy for Zhuge Liang had reached its peak!

Whether it was sleeping with the emperor or staying in the palace, he had never received either of these two honors.

That’s all for Guo Jia, he was the first to follow the dragon;

But Zhuge Liang was able to stay in the palace as soon as he arrived!

After all kinds of hesitation in his mind, Sima Yi said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of things to do in the spring, and we have to prepare for going south to regain the Central Plains. I, I, plan to deal with government affairs in the propaganda room tonight to share your Majesty's worries."
