It was past time, and Yang Qing finished washing up. He was lying on the bed thinking about what happened in the past two days. He felt a little tired after encountering so many things in the past two days, and the doubts he found in Xiahou Mansion made him very upset.

, and today, when he met Zhuge Liang, he racked his brains and expressed his thoughts, which made him feel a little exhausted. After lying on the couch for a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

After dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Qing, Zhuge Liang, and Wang Lian chatted casually for a while. Zhuge Liang saw that he was a little tired, so he said that that was the end of the day and that we would talk about it later when he had time. Upon seeing this, Yang Qing

As soon as he said goodbye and left, Zhuge Liang specially asked someone to take him home, but he never said how to arrange Yang Qing's arrangements, and Yang Qing didn't ask.

After Yang Qing left, Zhuge Liang and Wang Lian returned to the public room to continue handling the backlog of official affairs. Seeing that Zhuge Liang had read all the bamboo slips on the desk, Wang Lian handed over his hands and said, "Prime Minister, you are very tired today. Why don't you go and have a rest early?"

Bar."

Ever since the late emperor visited the thatched cottage and asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, he has been working so hard. Fortunately, the late emperor, Guan Yu, Fazheng and others were sharing the burden, and Zhuge Liang still had time to return home to rest. Now he has to make decisions on all political affairs, big or small, so he mostly

He slept in the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, it was Wang Lian's good intention. Zhuge Liang smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. You are old, so please rest early. Liang wants to stay for a while longer."

When Wang Lian saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him because he had long been accustomed to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's style of doing things. But whenever he saw Zhuge Liang working so hard, he couldn't help but try to persuade him, even though he knew that Zhuge Liang would probably only listen to him once if he tried to persuade him ten times.

But as the prime minister, he naturally has to take the responsibility of admonishing him. Whether Zhuge Liang listens or not is beyond his control.

Wang Lian smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said: "I am old and young, so I will stay here to talk to the Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang put down the pen in his hand, picked up the feather fan beside him, stood up and walked to the window with his back to Wang Liang and said: "What do you think of Yang Qing, the prince?" Wang Lian also got up and walked to the window and replied: "Prime Minister, Yilian

In my opinion, Yang Qing is a man of great erudition, extraordinary intelligence, and has brilliant insights into political affairs, military affairs and even many miscellaneous matters. He can be described as a rare talent."

Wang Lian met Yang Qing for the first time today. Although he only accompanied Zhuge Liang and had a chat with him, he was very surprised that Yang Qing was young but had seen and heard as much as an old man who had traveled all over the world. Others were proficient in one thing.

Although his knowledge in one or two subjects was already extraordinary, Yang Qing was able to intervene in everything and had brilliant opinions, which made him admire him. Wang Lian asked himself who among the people he met in his life could compare with Yang Qing in terms of knowledge.

, I'm afraid there are only a few people such as Prime Minister Zhuge, Pang Shiyuan, Qin Zichi, etc.

Therefore, he had to sincerely praise Yang Qing, and then asked: "What does the Prime Minister think of this person?"

"Yang Ming's heart is worried about the Han Dynasty. He is knowledgeable, resourceful, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. After all, he is no longer inferior to Pang Shiyuan, Fa Xiaozhi, and Liu Zichu in the past. He is also a sergeant in Yizhou." Zhuge Liang held the upper part of the feather fan with his left hand.

Feather said calmly.

Wang Lian did not expect that Zhuge Liang had such a high evaluation of Yang Qing, and actually compared Yang Qing with Pang Tong, Fazheng, and Liu Ba, the three great talents who rejuvenated the country and stabilized the country. He asked himself that his evaluation of Yang Qing was already very high.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang admired him so much. In fact, this is not to blame Wang Lian. He only talked with Yang Qing during dinner in the evening and the following hour, and the subsequent conversations were more of casual chat, so he did not know what Yang Qing was saying in the afternoon.

His eloquent remarks only left an impression of him being knowledgeable.

Wang Lian was amazed in his heart, and then he thought that if Yang Qing was as talented as the Prime Minister said, wouldn't it be a blessing to the country? He was surprised and happy in his heart. The court must find such a talent to be well settled, so he asked:

"Since he is such a genius, I wonder how the prime minister can arrange for him?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Although this man is talented, he has never been an official. I am afraid that he is not familiar with the political operations of the court and the government. I intend to appoint him as the chief official, so that he can familiarize himself with the government."

He is well versed in political affairs, and can be involved in military affairs at any time so that he can use his talents. What will happen if the public will is unknown?"

The prime minister is responsible for recording all matters in the province. He is the assistant to the prime minister's office who is in charge of documents. His main responsibility is to record and review various documents and other matters in the prime minister's office. He has a rank of four hundred stones, a bronze seal with a yellow ribbon, and a monthly salary of forty-five dendrobium.

Although the rank of the chief registrar was not high, his position was low and he had low power, especially in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. Therefore, Wang Lian felt that it might be a bit too high. After all, Yang Qing seemed to come from a poor family, so to suddenly grant this person a high position would probably be detrimental to him.

Both the Prime Minister's Mansion and himself would be in bad shape.

Therefore, Wang Lian still solemnly said: "Prime Minister, it is not inappropriate to be the chief clerk based on Yang Qingzhi's talents. It's just that this son is still young and comes from a humble background. Before today, he was just a commoner, so he was promoted as soon as he came up.

Will being the chief administrator have any impact on his future career?"

Zhuge Liang returned to the desk and sat down, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. When Liang came out of the mountain, he was only twenty-seven years old, not much older than me. The late emperor also entrusted me with important tasks. Besides, there are many people in history and even in recent times."

A person who has become a high-ranking official at a young age, let alone being appointed as the chief official now."

Wang Lian smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "It's just a master register. Prime Minister, do you know how many people are thinking about the position of master register after it becomes vacant? There are many people who are famous for a while. If they know that this position has been taken by Yang Qing, who has just become famous recently."

I wonder if what I have obtained will arouse criticism?

The bitter smile on Wang Lian's face was seen by Zhuge Liang. He naturally understood Wang Lian's concerns and said: "As for their background, many of the loyal people who followed the late emperor in the past also came from humble backgrounds. The Liang family was just a villager in Nanyang.

, even the late emperor started from a young age. As long as he is a person with both ability and political integrity, I, a man, will never stick to his origin. Appointing people on merit is actually the way of employing people that the late emperor has always followed since he started his business. Yang Mingzhi is extremely talented, and he will surely be able to take on the responsibility in time.

How can you shoulder important responsibilities and share worries for the country because of your family background?" When Wang Lian saw Zhuge Liang saying this, he didn't say anything more. After all, the officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all subordinates of the Prime Minister, and Zhuge Liang can speak for himself.

Certainly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the personnel affairs have been decided, Wang Lian suddenly remembered something and said: "Prime Minister, when it comes to personnel appointments and dismissals, I still feel that I am old and frail now, and the matters in the Prime Minister's Mansion have been

It has consumed most of my energy, and I really can’t take care of the Yan Mansion. I wonder what Prime Minister Jun thinks of the previous proposal?"

After Liu Bei settled Yizhou, on the advice of Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba, he set up the post of Salt Captain to take charge of the production of salt and iron. Wang Liannai was the first to be the Salt Captain and holds the post until now. Later he moved to the post of Governor of Shu County and later General Xingye.

He still leads the Salt Mansion as before. After becoming the Prime Minister this year, he still holds the post of Salt Commander. During Wang Lian's tenure, the government benefited greatly from salt and iron, and the national expenditure also benefited from it. However, he was appointed

After a long history, the prime minister was already in a high position, and he really did not have enough energy to take care of the Yan Mansion. Therefore, he repeatedly requested Zhuge Liang to resign from the post of Salt Commander, but Zhuge Liang never agreed.

Today he saw that the appointment and dismissal of officials were discussed again, so he simply brought it up again. Zhuge Liang also understood Wang Lian's difficulties, but the position of captain of salt and iron was very important, and the two items of salt and iron were related to the national use, so he had to be cautious

As for the successor recommended by Wang Lian, Cen Shu, the official of Yan Mansion, Cao Duwei, he has been conducting detailed inspections in the past two months. At present, it seems that this Cen Shu can be regarded as an official. These days, he is in charge of salt on behalf of Wang Lian.

The government also satisfied him.

Zhuge Liang thought of this, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Forget it, Cen Shu has been in charge of Yan Mansion in an orderly manner for the past two months. In a few days, Duke Wen Yi will hand over the position of Captain of Salt to him." Wang Lian saw that Zhuge Liang finally agreed.
