Chapter 10 On the Heart

"Brother Kong Ming, for some reason, every time I am in your pavilion, I always feel an unspeakable sense of comfort." On this day, Liu Yi finished his work, but did not go back. He was about to see Zhuge Liang playing chess with Meng Gongwei. This was also the few things he could understand in this era. He was so stunning that Meng Gongwei suddenly said, "This craftsman is good at craftsmanship, but he is not a famous master. I don't know why he has such a wonderful feeling."

Liu Yi suddenly wanted to leave. Sure enough, there was no simple role for those who could discuss the world with Zhuge Liang.

"It's just the state of mind." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and covered the topic with a calm and gentle breeze: "The power of the public is not here today, I don't know what it means?"

Meng Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, threw the black piece in his hand into the chess box, and admitted defeat: "I have completed my studies now, and my father has sent a letter. Now Sikong has led a large army to Jixian County. The court has vacant staff. My father wants to recommend me to the Shangshu Mansion. But there is not much time for you and I to be so comfortable."

"With the power of the public, you will definitely achieve great things in this way." Zhuge Liang smiled while accepting his son.

Meng Jian did not respond and hesitated for a moment and said, "Kong Ming's talent is a hundred times better than me, why not go north with me? Liu Jingsheng, Jingzhou, could have competed with Sikong ten years ago, but now he is just a fair-bearded person and has no ambitions. Kong Ming stays here, but he is just a waste of his life."

"Liang has no intention of becoming an official." Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard this.

"We admire Kong Ming's talent and virtue." Cui Zhouping shook his head and said, "It's just these things, so many times you and I can't decide."

"You don't need to persuade you anymore. Liang really has no intention of becoming an official." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise. This pavilion has the attribute of being heart-warming. Zhuge Liang's expression doesn't seem to be fake. What's the situation?

Meng Gongwei and others saw that Zhuge Liang had decided, so they couldn't persuade him anymore. Seeing that it was getting late, they did not live in Wolonggang, so they could only get up and say goodbye.

Liu Yi was not familiar with the three of them and ignored them. He just leaned against the pillar, and flew away the carving knife in his hand, carving a wooden carving.

Zhuge Liang saw the three of them away, walked back silently, sat in front of the chessboard again, and saw Liu Yi being stunned and smiled: "I saw Brother Liu quite interested in this chess skills these days. Now no one is present. Brother Liu is willing to accompany me to play chess?"

"It's not very good." Liu Yi was not polite when he heard this, and sat straight opposite Zhuge Liang. He had learned some Go, but he was not proficient in it. He only felt it was exciting to watch Zhuge Liang and others take turns to play in the past few days, but if he wanted to play with anyone, he would be abused. However, Zhuge Liang was invited to watch the game on the side these days. Although he knew that he was probably not his opponent, he was still a little itchy.

"I can't say it very well here, it seems that it's not a humble word." Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this.

"How about not playing chess?" Liu Yi wanted to turn over the table, and he turned it over and it was the chess board.

"Play chess again another day. How about Brother Liu accompany me to play Go today?" Zhuge Liang held down the chessboard and shook his head.

"That Mr. Meng's words made Mr. Kong Ming confused?" Liu Yi nodded. Although he played chess well, it depends on who he played. If he played against Zhuge Liang, he would probably lose more than he won or less.

"This chessboard is like this world. You and I are in it, and often we can't help it." Zhuge Liang saw Liu Yi's mistakes and sighed: "I do intend to hide in the world, but I'm afraid..."

"The talent in your heart is a hundred times better than Mr. Meng, and there is nothing you can do?" Liu Yi couldn't help but quip when he thought of Meng Gongwei's previous remarks.

"That's Qianyu. The talents of Gongwei and the three men are not inferior to those of Yu Liang!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

Liu Yi curled his lips. He had figured out the humble routines of these ancient people. Generally speaking, when someone's ability is not inferior to him, he mostly talks about the other party's ability higher. In fact, in his heart, the other party is inferior to his own.

"My reputation has come out, and I'm afraid I can't really escape from the world."

Yes, Meng Gongwei and the other two seem to be going to join Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's love for talent, as long as these three people show their abilities and come into Cao Cao's sight, as long as they mention it, Cao Cao may come to invite him.

"Since that's the case, why not go with them?" Liu Yi suddenly felt a little moved. If he could pull Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao's side, wouldn't the situation in the Three Kingdoms have formed?

Zhuge Liang shook his head and did not speak. Instead, he looked at Liu Yi with interest: "It seems that Brother Liu admires Cao Gong quite a bit?"

"It's not a question, I just think he has a greater chance of winning." Liu Yi shook his head. He made up his mind to run to Cao Cao, mainly because there was the final winner there and it was relatively stable. In fact, among the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, no matter who could reach Cao Cao's level, Liu Yi would choose to lean there.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "It seems that Brother Liu has his own opinions on the world."

"I heard you talk about these days, and I know a little about it." Liu Yi smiled and said, "If you leave the Liaodong Gongsun family and the Western Liang warlords, the only ones who can count the major forces are Cao Cao, Sun Quan from Jiangdong, Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Bashu."

As for Uncle Liu, nothing is really worthy of now.

Zhuge Liang nodded after hearing this: "Although Cao Cao had the most powerful appearance, he was not the right way to use the emperor to command the princes."

"Do you still believe this?" Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise. Shouldn't such a chaotic world be spoken by his fists?

Zhuge Liang frowned: "Brother Liu thinks, what is the right way?"

"According to your words, it should be considered a human heart." Liu Yi touched his chin and thought, "What the human heart wants should be the right way, but to put it bluntly, this human heart is human nature. What is human nature? Profit!"

"Li?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi with a smile: "What Brother Liu said is really direct."

"Human nature is like this. Take me as long as my own interests will not be touched. Whether it is the Han Dynasty or Cao Cao, who will rule the world has nothing to do with me. If you ask the people in Wolonggang, how many people will care about who the emperor is? That is too far away from us, the people here are actually not the real people's hearts, but the hearts of those who can control the people's hearts, that is, scholars like you."

This was the first time Zhuge Liang heard this way of looking at the world from the perspective of a young man who was promoted to Dou, and he nodded and said, "That's right, that's the reason."

"What do we ordinary people know? Many people may not have been thirty miles away in their entire lives." Liu Yi pointed around and smiled: "So, in the end, the so-called people's hearts still fall on your men. But for one overlord, some talented people are unwilling to be underestimated. So whether Cao Gong, Sun Quan, or the defeated princes, any of the achievements will some suppress the scholars. I don't know if Mr. Kongming, you are weighing the pros and cons of this now."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi silent for a long time, then shook his head and smiled: "Although what Brother Liu said is a bit contrary to common sense, but when he thinks about it carefully, it seems that this is exactly what he said."

Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction. It was not easy to surprise this wise man who had been famous for his eternal period.

"Brother Liu?"

"Mr. Kongming still has any questions?"

"You lost."
