Thinking of this, his heart calmed down.

"Okay, I promise you, when my injuries are healed, I will say yes to my family, the grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, and I should promise it by myself, what does the girl think?" Zhou Jincheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

The woman's cheeks were slightly red, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Zhou Jincheng smiled silently, but he knew in his heart that this girl had taken the bait!

"I'm joking with you, I'll repay the girl's life-saving grace, and if you need help during this time, I'll help you." Zhou Jincheng raised his eyes and said.

If he doesn't die now, he won't let Yuan Chufeng be proud, as long as he can return to Zhou smoothly, not only Yuan Chufeng, but also Prime Minister Duan, he will win them all!

The woman stroked the ends of her hair, and then said slowly, "Are you hungry?" You couldn't eat anything for the past two days, so I had to feed you some rice soup, but fortunately you are in good health, so there is no problem. ”

"Thank you girl for saving your life, I don't know where to get out of here?" Zhou Jincheng asked casually.

Yun Niang thought for a while and said slowly, "Leaving from the cabin, there is a market outside, this Acacia Cliff is the critical boundary between Zhou and Yan, I don't know how Gongzi fell and was injured here?" ”

Zhou Jincheng sighed, pretending to be lost and said, "Some things are long, I was calculated by my brother of the same clan, he wanted to get my father's property from me, and then poisoned me, I am a native of Yan State A few years ago, I was born in Zhou State a few years ago, but now I can't go back to Yan Kingdom, they originally wanted to push people off the Acacia Cliff, so that they could go to Zhou Country to encroach on my mother's property, but I found out." ”

Yun Niang said sympathetically, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to be so hateful, you take care of your body first, and if you have time in the future, I will take you out to find your mother clan, and I will never let you be helpless." ”

"Thank you, girl."

Yun Niang's doubts in her heart were dispelled, in fact, she originally suspected the identity of the man, but when she heard him say this, all the worries in her heart disappeared.

"You just live here, although I don't have much money here, but it's more than enough to feed you, you are not feeling well, take a good rest first, I'll cook you a bowl of Yangchun noodles, okay?"

Zhou Jincheng nodded, "Okay, thank you Yunniang." ”

"You haven't told me yet, what about your name? You can't always be called 'Hey', can you? Yun Niang said with a wink of eyes.

"Yun Niang just call me Ah Jin."

Zhou Jincheng deliberately hid his identity, secretly thinking in his heart how to contact Feiyun, and now he doesn't know the situation of Shangguan Wei, what is happening to Zhou Guo now, he doesn't know anything, thinking of this, Zhou Jincheng has a headache in his heart.

In the palace on the other side, the emperor didn't like the answers of the two princes, he frowned and said coldly, "You two are my most proud princes, why don't you want to say a word now, I am not embarrassed by you!" If your proposal is good, I can reward you. ”

The Nine Emperors muttered to himself, "Father, this is not a matter of reward, although the sons and daughters have people who want to be in their hearts, but if the father is dissatisfied, don't you think that the sons and sons have formed a party for personal gain, this kind of question has hurt the friendship between the monarch and the minister's father and son, not that we are unwilling to answer, but that the sons and daughters spare their lives." ”

For this answer, the emperor didn't even have the slightest reason to refute it, because he knew that the Nine Emperors were actually very smart, and he was just unwilling to say what was happening now.

The emperor then said to the Nine Emperors, "Well, if this is the case, you still have some doubts in your hearts, then I will give you another question, what do you think you should do as a monarch and a minister, in order to win the joy of the people, King Zhennan, you will talk about it first." ”

The emperor directly threw such a question to the wise king, he thought for a long time, and then said slowly, "For the monarch and in his position is to seek the well-being of the people, for the corrupt officials, severe punishment will not be granted, for the territory of the country will be fought for, if there is a strong enemy to enter the army, will be punished, so that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country is prosperous, this is the monarch." And those who are ministers are auxiliary to the king. ”

Yuan Chufeng continued to add, "I want to be between the monarch and the minister, but also for the Bole and the Maxima, to be able to find the people in the court who are empathetic to political affairs, they can make the people suffer, the civil and military generals are in their positions, and the selection of generals is what they should do, but they betray the people for their own interests, this is what the ministers do." ”

When the emperor heard such an answer, he was also a little surprised, he knew that King Zhennan was praised at a young age, but he didn't expect that his mind was even more profound.

"That's right, go ahead." The emperor said with a smile.

The Nine Emperor Princes on the side also listened attentively, he rarely inquired about the affairs of the imperial court, and today was an exception.

"But do you think that the selection of talents above the imperial court should be hereditary, or should it be selected from the imperial examination? In other words, how to make good use of talents to serve the country? ”

The emperor said with a smile, looking forward to King Zhennan's answer in his heart, his answer was unexpected every time, giving the emperor a lot of surprises.

"Erchen has heard before that there is such a country in the history books, the emperor will listen to all the courtiers' suggestions one by one, and finally change the law according to their minds, and finally select talents from the people, and add a lot of rules to the imperial examination system, and finally, a lot of talents have emerged in the imperial court, and there are major developments and changes to the country, and the monarchs and ministers are actually complementary to each other, and they are indispensable."

The Nine Emperors looked at King Zhennan with admiration on the side, and he said with a smile, "You are worthy of being the imperial brother, what you said is really to my liking, Father Emperor, did you say?" I think what the royal brother said is not wrong at all. ”

The emperor has long been accustomed to the hindsight of the Nine Emperors, but King Zhennan's words are a little impressive to him.

Among all the princes, there are very few who can have such experience.

The emperor said, "Among the princes, how do you think the best choice of the crown prince?" Is it a person with high moral character, or a person who excels in learning, or a person who is loved by the people? If so, what should you choose? ”

"The prince is the prince, and he must have the responsibility of being a monarch in his heart, and he must have the humility of a courtier, so first of all, he must consider his temperament, and many royal relatives have become stepping stones to imperial power throughout the ages, so for the monarch, the most important thing is to have a very harmonious relationship between his brother and brother, and he has great respect for the people.

Morality is naturally the first priority, followed by military talent, that is, the matter of commanding the army in battle, there are outstanding places on it, and secondly, the position of the emperor is originally more difficult than other identities. ”
