玄(xuan)德(de)(de)拜请孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)曰:“备虽(sui)名微德(de)(de)薄,愿先生(sheng)不(bu)(bu)(bu)弃鄙贱,出山(shan)相(xiang)助。备当拱(gong)听明(ming)(ming)(ming)诲。”孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)曰:“亮久乐耕(geng)锄(chu),懒于应世,不(bu)(bu)(bu)能(neng)奉命(ming)。”玄(xuan)德(de)(de)泣曰:“先生(sheng)不(bu)(bu)(bu)出,如苍生(sheng)何!”言(yan)毕,泪沾袍袖(xiu),衣襟尽湿(shi)。孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)见其意甚诚,乃曰:“将军(jun)既不(bu)(bu)(bu)相(xiang)弃,愿效(xiao)犬马之(zhi)劳(lao)。”玄(xuan)德(de)(de)大(da)喜,遂命(ming)关、张入(ru),拜献金帛礼物(wu)。孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)固(gu)辞不(bu)(bu)(bu)受。玄(xuan)德(de)(de)曰:“此非(fei)聘大(da)贤之(zhi)礼,但表刘备寸(cun)心耳。”孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)方受。于是玄(xuan)德(de)(de)等在庄中共宿一宵。次日,诸葛均回,孔(kong)明(ming)(ming)(ming)嘱咐曰:“吾(wu)受刘皇叔(shu)三顾之(zhi)恩(en),不(bu)(bu)(bu)容(rong)不(bu)(bu)(bu)出。汝可躬耕(geng)于此,勿得荒(huang)芜田亩(mu)。待我功成之(zhi)日,即当归隐。”后人(ren)有诗(shi)叹曰:
身未升腾思退步,功成应忆去(qu)时言。
