Chapter 293 The king does not see the king (4000)(2/2)
"I heard someone say that you often went to Xiangyang City before, right?"
Wu Liang asked with a smile.
"I used to go there often, but in the past six months I have gone there very rarely. I feel troubled when I see those short-sighted and pretentious mediocre people. It's better not to go. Out of sight, out of mind."
Zhuge Liang curled his lips with disdain.
"There is a Huang family in Xiangyang City. The head of the family seems to be named Huang Chengyan. Do you know this person?"
Wu Liang asked again.
"Of course I know. I heard someone say that this man is the son-in-law of the famous scholar Cai Xi, and Cai Xi was once the brother-in-law of the late Taiwei Zhang Wen. With this kind of relationship, the Huang family was quite influential in Xiangyang City in the past few years.
Fame and power, later Taiwei Zhang Wen was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the noble families in Xiangyang City all alienated themselves from the Huang family in order not to be burdened. The Huang family has since fallen into decline, and is now much worse than before."
Zhuge Liang introduced Wu Liang in great detail.
Wu Liang also knew about Captain Zhang Wen.
The Taiwei of the Han Dynasty was the highest military officer in the court. Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others were all subordinates of Zhang Wen. With this relationship, as long as Zhang Wen survives, the Huang family will definitely be one of the best in Xiangyang City.
valve.
Unfortunately, the Huang family's fate was not good and their wealth did not last long.
"Um."
Wu Liang nodded and said, "Then do you know where the Huang family is in Xiangyang City? I want to pay a visit, so you can come with me."
"I know, since Brother Youcai wants to go, I just want to lead the way for Brother Youcai."
Zhuge Liang patted his chest and said.
"Besides, there is someone I want to see when I go to Xiangyang City this time. This person is called Pang Tong."
Wu Liang continued:
"Pang Tong?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, then there was a strong look of disgust on his face, and he started swearing, "Brother Youcai, what do you think this man is doing? He seems like a smug and pretentious person like him, Brother Youcai"
If you meet this birdman, if word spreads about it, your identity will be insulted!"
"so serious?"
Wu Liang was also stunned.
Wu Liang knew something about Pang Tong's ability to flatter others.
"Three Kingdoms" records about Pang Tong as follows: He has a good nature and good ethics, and is diligent in raising people. Every time he praised him more than his talents, people at that time asked him strangely, and they all replied: "The world is in chaos today, and the elegance and morality are late. Good people
If there are few people, there will be many bad people. If you want to promote customs and grow your career, if you don't have a good reputation, you will not have enough respect for your fame. There will be very few people who don't have enough admiration to do good deeds. Today, if you pull out ten and lose five, you still get half of it, but you can admire the world.
Isn’t it okay to teach to enable those who are determined to encourage themselves?”
What is said here is that Pang Tong usually likes to evaluate people and cultivate the reputation of others. The people he evaluates often exceed the person's actual talents.
This does sound a bit like "flattery".
However, it can also be understood as high emotional intelligence. After all, people like to listen to what is pleasant to their ears. Who doesn’t like to be praised?
Therefore, it can be inferred that Pang Tong must be more popular than Zhuge Liang in Xiangyang City.
Zhuge Liang would comment on Pang Tong like this, probably because he had never been praised by Pang Tong, so he felt very unhappy...
besides.
In fact, the two of them also have natural conflicts.
The king does not see the king.
Zhuge Liang has compared himself to names like Guan Zhong and Le Yi since he was a child.
Pang Tong always claimed to have the ability to assist the emperor.
These two are both pretentious young madmen, and they are both gathered in a small Xiangyang city. There is a saying that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so the two of them must have had many conflicts before.
