Chuge was well aware that Liu Zhi'en was capable.
Of course, Chuge didn't plan to let Liu Zhi'en work in vain, he had already thought of the benefits to offer the Wude Bureau.
First, he told Liu Zhi'en he planned to petition the emperor to increase the Wude Bureau's salaries and treatment.
Second, he drew a picture, telling Liu Zhi'en that as long as this matter was managed smoothly and made the emperor happy, the Wude Bureau's power would grow increasingly greater in the future.
Lastly, he clarified the stakes: if this opportunity was missed, there wouldn't be another. If he wanted to regain his face in front of important officials like Wen Jun, this was his only chance.
Chuge mentioned that a Prime Minister who would help the Wude Bureau like himself was a rare find. If someone else were in his position, they would likely suppress the Wude Bureau to death along with Wen Jun.
