Chapter 51: Mu Liang's conversation with Lin Liang
Pei Buji knew that Mu Liang was looking for Lin Liang to talk about national affairs, and she couldn't stop it, in case Pei Chengze knew, it would be more than just thinking about it behind closed doors for four years, "Okay, this princess will be merciful and don't worry about him, I'll go out first, and come out to find me after you finish talking." ”
Mu Liang: "......"
Don't bother with him??? The people are all torn apart.
Lin Liang's face was doting, and he was used to Pei Buji's wayward appearance, and helplessly followed her pattern and said: "Okay~, then send Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"Well, don't send it, talk about yours." Pei Buji swaggered away.
After Lin Liang saw her leave, he turned to Mu Liang, arched his hand, and then changed his face, and said indifferently and apologetically: "Prime Minister, I've kept you waiting, it's getting late, I don't know what the adults have to do, can't you wait until tomorrow?" ”
Seeing Pei Buji leaving, Mu Liang was in a high position at this time, so he didn't need to stand on the side, he packed up his clothes, and sat down on the upper seat with an embarrassed face, "Qing Ze, I just came to Nanji Country not long ago, I may not know much about the customs of Nanji Country, and I changed to Zhou Yunguo. ”
Lin Liang was slightly suspicious, he looked at the housekeeper and hoped that the housekeeper could give some popular science, Mu Liang's identity was above him, and he had to lower his body when he asked him, so he didn't want to see Mu Liang's face.
And the housekeeper immediately greeted people with a smile and said: "This is indeed the case, my lord, Nanji has always been famous for flowers, this is because among the hundred countries, the geographical structure of Nanji has been special, raising hundreds of thousands of flowers, and most of them bloom at night, so there is a very early moon to enjoy the flowers, at that time people are in the evening to meet friends to enjoy the flowers, but after hundreds of years, the changes of humanity have evolved into the custom of meeting guests at night. ”
"I see, the customs of your country are really peculiar, but the knowledge of the lower officials is shallow, then again, why did the prime minister come here?"
Mu Liang said politely: "Where is it, Qingze is a hermit known to the world, the export is a chapter, is a talented person in the world, how can these vulgar customs be used to say, Qingze, you also know the current situation of Nanji, the vassal country is scattered, a few days ago there was a riot in Dongzhen, and now the scientific expedition is coming." ”
"Okay, stop," Lin Liang interrupted his rambling remarks impatiently, lazily picking his fingers, "Prime Minister, are you here to beg me to help you deal with the scientific examination?" The adult is not incompetent, the subordinate is just a general, and he really can't help them. ”
This!! Hit me with this trick, hmph, I don't believe it.
Mu Liang raised his hand and touched his forehead, in Lin Liang's opinion, it was possible to be a whole moth again.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, okay, just reluctantly help him.
Just as Mu Liang was about to speak, he took the lead and said: "Eh, Prime Minister, I have a plan under it, I don't know if I can..."
"Say." Mu Liang directly put down his extra hand, sat upright, and listened carefully.
Lin Liang's eyes drifted innocently towards the housekeeper, pretending to think about it, and his hand slapped his leg a few times, "Well, the lower official was thinking about it, and suddenly it didn't feel very practical." ”
Mu Liang blinked a few times, he wanted to hit people, and barely held up a weird smile, after all, he had a request, and said to Lin Liang: "Qingze, it's better to sit down first and think slowly without hurry, after all, there are still three days left in the scientific expedition, you have to think about it." ”
Three days!! Kiyozawa!!
"Okay, then thank you, Prime Minister." After speaking, he quickly slipped over and sat down, coughed twice, and said: "My lord, the scientific examination has added a martial arts examination, and in the previous imperial examinations, there was no experience in the martial arts examination, this is the first time that Nanji has opened it, and it must be tricky." ”
Mu Liang echoed: "Well, that's right, it's really difficult. Then he asked, "So what can you do to solve it?" ”
Lin Liang drank some tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Nanji has not done it, but Hetu has done it every year, Hetu people are fierce, the most difficult to tame, although Hetu is a vassal country, but as the prime minister said, people's hearts are scattered, such a vassal country is too dangerous, if you can strengthen the connection through the martial arts, it is not a lot of work." ”
Mu Liang was puzzled: "According to your wishes, it will be hosted by the Hetu Country?" Then if the Hetu Kingdom takes the opportunity to join forces with other vassal states, won't the Nanji Kingdom become the target of public criticism? ”
"My lord, Hetu does have the ability to subvert Nanji, but, don't forget, the difference between men and women, Hetu is a woman in charge, but the real power is a man, one has status, the other has strength, the two tigers can't coexist in the same mountain, and the civil strife in Hetu is also difficult for them to solve, so the people of Hetu must always pay attention to the internal court to prevent collapse, which is also the reason why Hetu has been biased towards one for thousands of years, and has no quarrel with the world and does not take the initiative to attack other countries, the establishment of martial arts is to strengthen the army and select military generals."
"Most of the officials in Hetu are women, and the rest are royal relatives, this special system makes most talented and resourceful men unable to make meritorious achievements, and can only rely on women, but Hetu is an open country, and when outside ideas enter, there will inevitably be internal strife, so adults provide an opportunity for men in Hetu country, and men's rights have increased, what do adults think women will do?"
Mu Liang replied: "It will definitely be forced, and at that time, their civil strife will only get bigger and more difficult to control, isn't that even more unfavorable to Nanji Kingdom?" ”
"Hey," Lin Liang rolled his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table and sipped it gently.
It's really hard to teach.
"Prime Minister, men and women are always primitively speaking, it is true that men are strong and will be oppressed, but after the oppression, for the strength of men, they will resist, once the resistance is successful, the system of the Hetu country can easily evolve into the system of the Nanji country, this is the most important thing, at the same time, during the period of resistance, they are powerless to the outside world, it is the opportunity for the Nanji country to suppress other vassal countries, and after the resistance, the Hetu country will inevitably be defeated internally, and the Nanji country is not more able to subdue? Kill more than one stone. ”
Mu Liang lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, it is possible, but the variables of the martial arts examination have increased several times, plus the literary examination, this..."
Lin Liang: "......"
Mu Liang this person, really, this phase will definitely stay for a short time, if you think it can't work, don't come to me, don't use it after saying so much.
Lin Liang's heart was full of complaints, but he had to speak to him gently and take a deep breath, "My lord, why don't you give the literary exam to someone else?" There are capable people in the court, adults must see a little wider, not all the people around them can be used, you don't give others the opportunity to show, no experience, they will always be scum moths in the court, of course, raised by you. ”
"You," Mu Liang wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, what he said made a lot of sense, and he couldn't help asking: "Then it's better for Qing Ze to recommend a few talents, do you think those people in the court can be qualified as the chief examiner of the literary examination?" ”
I want to push it to me again, the idea is good, but I think too much, and being a transparent person at this time is the only way to live.
Otherwise, you will be tired!!
Lin Liang replied: "My lord, the court is full of talents, of course, on the surface, the lower officials have not said it, as long as you use it, it is a mule or a horse to walk, you will know, useless elimination, useful stay, high position, you can't move, since he can climb up, there must be something underneath the cushion, give those who are a little chance to pad, they will definitely grasp it firmly." ”
"I see, you kid, you also have a dark side." Mu Liang suddenly realized and teased.
Lin Liang was worried that Si Ling would come back with Mo Li and bump into Mu Liang and it would be difficult to explain, so he hurriedly ordered the eviction of guests, pointed to the door and said embarrassedly: "What, Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness the princess is still waiting for the next official, uh, or..."
Go back to sleep.
"That's okay, Qing Ze will continue in the future, I'll leave today, oh, by the way, Your Highness is going to leave one of my secret guards, that is, the white light, his temper is a little irritable, I bother you to look at the white light and don't let him hurt His Highness." After speaking, he got up and left with Shen Zuo.
White light?? What does Boogie want to do with a white light?
The housekeeper said: "The prime minister walks slowly, and the small one will guide you." At this time, Lin Liang reacted and watched the two leave, "Then the next official won't send it,"
Pei Buji and Bai Lantern eavesdropped on the side room of the main hall, and when Mu Liang left for a while, she jumped out and said with a look of adoration: "Master, you are so amazing!" ”
"That's, and don't look at who I am." Lin Liang turned his head arrogantly, just in time to see the white light, remembered that he broke into the Lin Mansion, and asked him, "How is your injury?" ”
The white light was still low, and he replied: "Back to my lord, it's no big deal." ”
Pei Buji looked at Lin Liang on the left and at the white light on the right, and said in surprise: "You know each other?"
"Acquaintance." White Light replied with a blank face.
Everything that happened today was unexpected, although Bai Lan said it before, but he didn't expect Mu Liang to come tonight, and Ning Zuo's matter was even more strange, Si Ling went to pick up Mo Li It may have been an accident, but why did Boogie leave Bai Lan inexplicably?
All this seemed to be arranged in advance, very strange but cleverly connected everything, Lin Liang's heart was full of doubts, and asked: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why did you leave a white light, did someone tell you?" ”
"Well, the master is really like a god, it's really amazing." Pei Buji was again amazed and admired.
Lin Liang said in astonishment: "What? Who? Anxiously grabbed Pei Buji, "Say it quickly, Your Highness, this matter is very important." ”
"You wait, don't hold me, it hurts, it's my cousin, Mo Zhuyan." Pei Boogie struggled, trying to pull his hand out.
"Bamboo Death?" Lin Liang was surprised, he couldn't believe what he heard, his hands trembled, and the blankness on his face made him lose his temper in front of the white light, Pei Buji found an opportunity and quickly pulled out his hand and flashed to the side, at this time Lin Liang asked: "Isn't he at the border?" ”
"How do I know?" Pei Buji's face was full of innocence, "Anyway, he came to me and said that the white light is very important to you, and said that he was still injured and needed to recuperate for a while, so let me find a way to keep him in the mansion, that's it." ”
After listening to the white light, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he returned to indifference and silence.
"I see, that's how I think too much." Lin Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not good to be calculated, hey, I'm so tired." ”
Pei Buji worried: "Master, if you don't rest for a while, I'll go and show you if there is anything to eat in the kitchen." With that, he ran out and ran in the direction of the kitchen.
"White light, go." Seeing Pei Buji walking away, Lin Liang immediately pulled the white light, flashed the dark guard, and the white light was taken away in a daze.
In the end, the two quietly left the Lin Mansion.
