When the man heard this, he said with some disdain: "On the contrary, I think that the place you mentioned is proof that the fifth prince is selfish, he obviously has the ability to promote talents, but he does not do this, so that many people have studied hard for decades, and finally can only leave the capital lonely." ”

"That's what you say." Ziyi wanted to debate, but the man didn't want to listen anymore, waved his hand and said, "I know that you are better than me, and I don't want to debate with you, we each have our own ideas, there is no need to convince each other." ”

Ziyi sighed, "Also, your own future, you can make your own decisions." ”

"Things in the court are changing rapidly, maybe the fifth prince is at a disadvantage now, but he will inevitably not turn over in the future." The man said it as if to convince himself.

"Your views are not entirely unreasonable." Ziyi nodded, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, rich today, tomorrow it is possible to become a beggar, today it is high, tomorrow it is possible to be trampled by ten thousand people.

Things in the world are always out of their own hands.

"By the way, I heard that the exam question of the Sixth Prince is the knowledge of flood management, I really don't know anything about this aspect, does Brother Ziyi have any good insights?" The man asked.

Ziyi thought for a while, "I also once learned about the five princes' methods of controlling floods, which is really unique today, but it is very effective, I only know the surface, I heard that the five princes first sent people to clean up the sediment on the riverbed, and then built a dam upstream to widen the upstream river channel to control the amount of water downstream, how do you do it exactly?" I really don't know at all. ”

"Then do you have any other answers, this answer will be handed in, and it will be said to be plagiarism." The man asked anxiously.

Ziyi shook his head, "I have read some books on water conservancy before, and those books are just some superficial records, the records are too shallow, this time the flood is too big, and it is useless to use traditional methods, not to mention that the river floods every year, and the people in the court also peel off the silver every year to control the flood, but it is useless at all, or the politics are not close to the people enough, there are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the silver that is stripped is exploited layer by layer, and in the end, it is really very little used in the flood here." ”

"So what to do? You can't say this in front of the six princes. The man sighed and said with some distress: "I really don't understand that this matter has nothing to do with the Sixth Prince, why does he still use this matter as an exam question?" If it is other things, I can still answer one or two, but when it comes to water conservancy, there are very few people in the world who are proficient in it, and I am afraid that it is a dream to find talents in this area from among our students. ”

"I guess the sixth prince is also because he was suppressed by the fifth prince in this matter before, so he will be eager to find a solution, in fact, I don't agree with this kind of behavior The fifth prince has found an effective method and put it into practice, and he has done nothing, and now he is looking for a way, it's too late, and it's just to embarrass others." Ziyi shook his head and said.

"I agree with what you say, embarrassed." The man smiled, "Forget it, I'd better go back and think about it." ”

The voices of the two men grew farther and farther apart.

When Qi Lichen heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

An ordinary student also admires the fifth prince Gu Jianglin so much, which shows that he is indeed doing a lot of practical things for the people, who is meritorious here this time is also deeply liked by the people, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is greedy for money, nor is he a person who plays with power.

If such a person really becomes an emperor in the future, he will definitely be able to bring a piece of political clarity to this world.

He was entangled in his heart again, whether to take revenge or give up, in fact, he also thought about the country, if there is a good leader who can lead the country to prosperity and prosperity, what does it matter who this person is?

But those blood feuds are an unbridgeable chasm in the heart.

He thought about it and shook his head, and was about to leave, when two men in black suddenly appeared behind him.

He didn't feel a trace of panic, but said with some mockery: "Do it in this place, your master is really bold and reckless, aren't you afraid that speaking out will cause risk to his reputation?" After all, I was also his protégé. ”

The two men in black did not speak, but slowly approached.

Qi Lichen took a step back, his fingers tightly pinched the fan in his hand, the fan bone of this fan was reinforced by him, and it was definitely able to block ordinary swords.

The two black-clothed men approached slowly with long swords in their hands, and at that moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Li Gongzi, I brought someone to pick you up, are you here?" ”

The two men in black heard the movement outside, and it seemed that there were many people outside and immediately flew away.

Qi Lichen breathed a sigh of relief, although he said that he was not afraid of these two people, but it was not good to do it here, and when he looked back, he found that the person who spoke out for him just now was Ziyi who left.

"Thank you, boy." Qi Lichen hugged his fists to show his gratitude.

Ziyi smiled and said: "It's just a gesture, why worry about it, this son didn't offend anyone, I think those two people are really menacing." ”

"I've been in the capital for a long time, and because of different political opinions, I will offend some people, it's harmless, this time I'm too negligent, thank you Gongzi for speaking out righteously, so I scared those thieves away." Qi Lichen smiled and hugged his fists and said.

Ziyi nodded, "Listen to the meaning of the son, he has been sitting in the capital for a long time, and he came here today to select talents, but the son is dressed like a white dress, which is very different from the high-ranking officials and nobles next to him, I don't know where the son is high?" ”

"Haha" Qi Lichen laughed, "Where is the high-ranking official?" It looks like a white dress, and that's because I'm a white dress, and this time I'm here with the adults of our family. ”

Ziyi and the two nodded, this sentence has fully explained that Qi Lichen should be the protégé of a certain high-ranking official.

He didn't ask any more questions, just chatted a few words, and then said that there was something to do and left.

Just a simple conversation, Qi Lichen felt that this person was a good talker, and he would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, it seemed that although he was outside the court, his mind was also clear, and he respected the five princes who did practical things for the people, no matter what happened in the future, he would not take a detour.

He sighed, presumably the two men in black were sent by the prime minister, since the prime minister sent someone, how could Huang Xu not get the news.

Huang Xu doesn't seem to be following today, it seems that the prime minister has set him aside to do other things.

He didn't expect this Huang Xu to be of any great use by the prime minister's side, as long as he could report the news to him in time, he would be relieved.

When he went back, Gu Xizhou seemed to have gained a lot, although none of these people could come up with any effective methods for the flood, but they also had their own opinions, and they were willing to work under Gu Xizhou's disciples.

When he went back, he also heard a familiar voice inside, it seemed to be the person next to Ziyi, saying that he was going to come here to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to really come, as if Gu Xizhou was also very satisfied with him, and praised him from time to time.

Qi Lichen originally wanted to wait for the matter inside before going in, but he didn't expect Xiao Si to go to fetch water to see him standing outside the door, and immediately asked, "Qi Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

Gu Xizhou, who was inside, heard the movement, and immediately raised his voice and said, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me when Mr. came?" Standing outside, it seems like I'm being rude. ”
