Chapter XVIII Solicitation

After thinking about it, Yang Yun finally came to a conclusion that what he lacks most at present is money and people, and without financial support, it is empty talk to establish his own intelligence network; At the same time, there are too few people around you who can be trusted, especially those who can give advice to you.

On the second day, Yang Yun finally regained his spirits, he didn't want to delay any longer, so he hurriedly ate something, changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and rushed to the Tongfu Inn with Yan Qin and Liu Yue, who were dressed as men.

"A few guest officers, do you want to drink tea or stay in the hotel." As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Er greeted him warmly.

"Bring us a pot of tea! Plus some snacks. Yang Yun said as he took the two girls to sit down in a position with a better view.

Xiao Er's movements were very fast, and he served the refreshments in a short time, but when Xiao Er was about to leave, he was stopped by Liu Yue, and he stuffed a certain amount of broken silver into Xiao Er.

"Little Er, inquire about something. I heard that you have a lot of students who take the exam this year, which of the students who are more famous who are not on the list? ”

"Hehe, you're also here to invite the master! Several groups of people have come these days. There are many landed students who accepted the invitation to serve in those noble mansions in Xijing. "Maybe it's because of the silver, Xiao Er's attitude is very good.

"Then have you not been invited away, and you have learned and lived well here?" Yang Yun asked.

"This young master, can you ask, the most famous of the Tongfu Inn this year is of course 'Sanyuan'!" Xiao Er said proudly, as if he was talking about himself.

"Three far?" Yang Yun asked strangely.

"Sanyuan, Wu Yuanyu, Chen Yuanhang and Ju Yuanguang are three people. These three people are amazing, their writing is outstanding, and their character has been praised by everyone. Not only do these students respect them, but there are also many dignitaries who often come to visit them. Xiao Er's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.

"It's a pity that this year, by mistake, none of these three people were admitted to the Jinshi. But strangely, many nobles came to invite them to serve in the palace, but they did not agree. ”

"And where are these three now? Can we meet them? This time it was Yanqin who was sitting next to Yang Yun who was questioning.

"It's not a coincidence, today's loyal military general Liu Yanliu invited the three of them to a banquet in Hongbin Tower, and they have been gone for more than half an hour."

Seeing that things were unfortunate, Yang Yun had no choice but to leave the Tongfu Inn. When he walked to the door, he saw that it was still early, so he took Yanqin and Liu Yue to the direction of Hongbin Building. He wanted to see what the three people who were boasted about by Xiao Er were like.

Soon, several people arrived at Hongbin Building, and with the "help" of Yinzi, the three of them successfully sat down next to the private room where General Zhongwu feasted several landed students, and they could clearly hear the voice next door.

When the three of them sat down, they happened to hear the voices of about four or five people next door, who were talking enthusiastically. The men seemed to be very familiar, and they spoke with no scruples and with great devotion.

From famous poems to customs, and from ancient and modern characters to current affairs, several people have been talking for nearly two hours, and they seem to be still unfinished. Yang Yun was eating side dishes and drinking tea while listening to the conversation of several people.

After listening to it for such a long time, Yang Yun had to admire the few people next door, being able to be respected by so many people, they did have their advantages. During the conversation, several people quoted scriptures and classics, and were very familiar with the various works of their predecessors, and they were also well aware of many important events in ancient and modern times.

What's even more rare is that their analysis of the current situation and their views on some things are very forward-looking. All this made Yang Yun a little excited, his current self seriously lacked people who could give advice to him, these people were like a think tank tailored for himself.

At this time, I heard a voice say: "A few virtuous brothers, this official talked to a few people today, and you have benefited a lot, all of you are talented, and you don't have to take it to heart if you fail the scientific examination." Today, this official is entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and wants to invite you to serve as the deacon of the Prince's Mansion. ”

When Yang Yun heard this, he knew that the person who spoke should be Liu Yan, the loyal general, and it turned out that he had the same purpose as himself, and he also wanted to recruit these people. It's over, compared to his titular eldest brother, Prince Yang Yue, he is too uncompetitive.

But the matter has come to this, and Yang Yun has no other choice but to sit there quietly, waiting for the final ending.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, he finally heard a voice from next door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks up to Chen, and the villain feels very honored, and he should have agreed immediately." But yesterday, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister invited him, and Chen had promised His Royal Highness the Prime Minister that he could not be a faithless villain. Therefore, Chen Mou only disappointed His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, and asked the adults to tell him! ”

"Since you promised His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, the lower officials can't force it, so what about the two of you?" Liu Yan tried to keep his voice calm, but he still showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Lord Liu, I'm really sorry, it's not that Wu doesn't know how to lift, now Wu's child is seriously ill, Wu is worried every day, and he has no time to think about the next step, and I ask for your lordship and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me." Another voice came out.

"Since this is the case, Liu does not force it, I hope that when Mr. Wu's son recovers from his illness, he can seriously consider the official's proposal." This was Liu Yan's voice, paused for a moment, and then continued: "What about Mr. Ju?" But at this time, Liu Yan's tone was completely devoid of the kindness of Fang Cai.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of talents, and Ju is a shallow learner, so in order not to attract jokes, Ju will not go." The person who spoke was obviously a stubborn person, and he didn't find a reason to directly refuse the invitation.

"Good! Good! Good! I hope you will never regret your decision today. The official still has important matters, so I won't accompany you. Liu Yan couldn't control his anger anymore, he thought that it should be easy to recruit a few people in the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, so when he came, he boasted about Haikou, but now......

After Liu Yan said these words, he didn't pay attention to a few people, turned around and left directly.

"Alas! Brother Wu, Brother Giant, this time I offended Lord Liu and His Royal Highness the Prince. It doesn't matter if I have the support of the Prime Minister, I'm afraid you two will be in trouble in the future. Otherwise, you will go with me to His Royal Highness. A voice said.

"I don't think I have time to take care of so much, let's cure my son's illness first! I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a large number of them, so he won't worry about us ordinary people! What do you think, big brother? ”

"Hehe, me, if there is no suitable place to go, I will go back to my hometown, and the few thin fields at home are enough to support me."

"Alright! In the evening, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister personally set up a banquet to invite a few of us who have recently followed him, then I will go back and prepare first, and there will be less time to meet in the future, and you can come to me if there is anything. After saying this, Yang Yun heard the sound of someone leaving, and it was estimated that Chen Yuanhang had left.

"Let's go and have a look." Yang Yun called Yan Qin and Liu Yue and walked next door. As soon as I entered the private room, I saw two young men dressed as scribes, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, sitting inside, with confidence flashing between their eyebrows.

"Who are you? What's the point? A fair-faced young man asked suspiciously when he saw the three people coming in.

"The two are Wu Yuanyu and Ju Yuanguang! I heard that the two talents chased from the Tongfu Inn to this Hongbin Building, just to get to know the two, and I don't know if the two are willing to move to the next door to sit. ”

The sudden appearance of Yang Yun and the three of them surprised the two, and they looked at Yang Yun carefully and looked at each other again.

After a long while, the pale-faced young man who had just answered said, "Since Your Excellency has made an appointment, we will go over and sit together." ”

When the two sides came to the private room where Yang Yun was sitting, Yan Qin and Liu Yue had already beckoned Xiao Er to clean up the table and serve good food again.
