In fact, even Zhuge Liang did not expect that he would be appointed as the Prince's Grand Tutor.
It’s not that I feel that I don’t deserve that position.
But it is because there are already two princes in the palace now.
The child born to Daji is the one who is most likely to obtain the position of crown prince and is most deserving of it.
It was hard not to remind him of something.
Sima Yi received the imperial edict on the same day.
He was very curious why Zhuge Liang recommended him to go to the State of Chu.
So he invited the other party to come to his house for a chat.
Regarding the relationship between the two of them, it must be mentioned that Zhuge Liang once studied under Sima Hui and Pang Degong for a period of time.
Sima Yi also learned some things from Sima Hui, but for a relatively short period of time.
As for Pang Degong, he was a good teacher and friend to Sima Yi.
It can be said that the two of them are quite compatible.
However, if you really look into it, there is no connection between the two.
Because Zhuge Liang mainly studied under Sima Hui, the Water Mirror, while Sima Yi studied under a man named Hu Zhao.
Interestingly, this gentleman named Hu Zhao also has the courtesy name Kongming.
He is a talented person who is not inferior to Pang Degong and Shui Jingxian.
In a pavilion in the residence of the Minister of Works.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang sat on the ground. Sima Yi said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhuge is truly remarkable. He was immediately given an important position upon arriving in the capital. His status is almost higher than even that of the Minister of Works, me."
Whether in this world or in Ying Yuan's previous life, the two are almost the same age, but generally speaking, Sima Yi is a few years older than Zhuge Liang.
The latter bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, I am too kind. I just want to show what I have learned and do more for the country."
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Actually, the main reason I invited you to my house today to chat is to ask you why you recommended me to go with the Jin State delegation."
Zhuge Liang replied: "Sir, you are a man of great learning and scholarship, why don't you show off your talents?"
? "
Hearing this, Sima Yi frowned and asked curiously, "It's already a bit difficult for me to be the Minister of Works. I wonder where you heard about my profound knowledge?"
Zhuge Liang said bluntly, "Sir, the country is in danger now. If you do not step forward and continue to choose a secluded position, I am afraid it is not a wise move."
After hearing this, Sima Yi no longer dared to underestimate the other party.
For some reason, he always had a feeling that Zhuge Liang was very good at understanding people's hearts.
"Well, I'll go to the State of Chu. Does the master have any instructions before I go?"
Sima Yi asked.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and laughed, "Wouldn't it be a laughing stock to show off my skills in front of the Minister?"
Sima Yi pretended to sigh and said, "I'm afraid I'm not as useful as you think. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself to the court."
Zhuge Liang said sternly, "Master Shangshu, why should you belittle yourself? We are the only two here. I hope you will do your best to help our country overcome this difficult time."
Sima Yi nodded. "Now that we've come to this, please rest assured, sir. I will do my utmost to facilitate this matter."
"Just these words from the Minister are enough."
Zhuge Liang smiled.
After he left, Sima Yi straightened his body and murmured:
"For some reason, this person gives me a feeling of mutual understanding, as if we were born to be friends or rivals."
A servant beside him whispered, "Perhaps it's because his intelligence is not inferior to yours, Master?"
Sima Yi shook his head and smiled, "Perhaps. Pack up your things and we will set off for Jin soon."
On the day he left Xianyang City, he fished out a turtle from the artificial lake in the palace and peeled off its shell alive.
They also used an extremely ancient method to draw several patterns on the tortoise shell and then burned it with yang fire.
After burning, the patterns on the tortoise shell matched the pattern drawn previously.
Seeing this, he stroked his beard and smiled, "This trip is auspicious, you can go."
With this, Sima Yi left Xianyang and headed for the State of Jin.
The next day.
Zhuge Liang also prepared to set off for Qi.
On the night after Sima Yi left, he weighed a few copper coins in his hand, then threw them away, letting them scatter on the ground.
Looking at the positions and front and back of the coins that fell, he suddenly laughed out loud and muttered the word "good luck".
So, the two wise men left Xianyang one after another.
They went there to fight for a future for the Qin State.
In Ying Yuan's previous life, the two of them were close friends and also mortal enemies.
Because of Sima Yi's mutual admiration, Zhuge Liang set up the empty city plan, which became famous in later generations.
Because of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi held supreme power in the Wei Kingdom.
Now, in this world, they serve in the same court and work for Ying Yuan together.
I don’t know what kind of energy will happen.
In the Xuanzheng Hall.
After Zhuge Liang left, Hu Ximei came to report to him.
Compared to Sima Yi's light equipment.
Zhuge Liang's side has a sufficient lineup.
There were more than 300 members of the delegation alone.
There were more than two thousand soldiers accompanying him.
Bringing so many soldiers with me was also because I was worried about encountering bandits on the road.
Sima Yi was in the dark, and he had to be careful in contacting the Jin family.
When Zhuge Liang was in power, he was eager to let the people of Jin and Chu see that the Qin envoy had entered Qi.
The strategy of forming alliances and making allies is not limited to you two countries, Jin and Chu.
