The Liu family was finally reunited in the capital, and Liu Chengyu was more concerned with the exam.

Liu Chengyu: "You said that you got such a good opportunity to elect officials in the world, and you didn't tell your family, and you thought you were not doing your job in the capital!" ”

The old man said that there was something in his words, and Liu Buwen was so frightened that the teacup in his hand shook out of water, and he didn't know how to explain these strange ideas to his father.

"Dad always worries about a lot of things, haven't they all been done yet? It's not nine out of ten. ”

Although Liu Chengyu is not old and tearful, he can see that his child was still sick before, but now he is alive and active, and he is taking exams and making tea, not saying anything, but his heart is a stone that has fallen to the ground.

Chu Suiliang and Luo Gan walked to a cubicle and sat there chatting.

Chu Suiliang: "I came here, in addition to congratulations, there are some things I want to ask Your Excellency. ”

In the face of a literati like Chu Suiliang, he must speak slowly and logically, but Luo Gan is very adaptable.

"Pavilion Master Chu said that it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it."

Chu Suiliang: "Today, the law is in a period of change, and we are repairing the classics precisely to correct history and improve the law. But now there is more than one voice, both conservatives and reformers. ”

At this time, Luo Gan opened the system to search, and he pondered the information of the conservatives and reformers mentioned by Chu Suiliang, but the specific names did not appear. Based on the impression that Tang Taizong was a heavenly khan, an emperor with outstanding merits, the emperor with this characteristic must be the vanguard of reform and the development of territory, so the law must be forward.

"The times, after all, are advancing, now a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, I have come all the way from a small place in Anping County, and I have seen all over the Tang Dynasty The future can be expected, but someone must raise their arms and take the lead in development, only development is the last word!"

It is very fashionable to borrow the wonderful quotations of the great man, which makes Chu Suiliang, who is sitting opposite, overjoyed.

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to feel the same way, but the conservatives in the court believe that if it is not stable today, rash use of the new policy will inevitably lead to adverse consequences."

Rogan was curious, although he had never entered the officialdom, he still knew this kind of thing that was in line with the general trend, and he especially wanted to know which people were so out of step with the times, and he should stay away from them in the future.

"I'm curious about who advocates reform and who doesn't?"

Chu Suiliang stroked his beard, thought about it and told Luo Gan.

"The officials of the Shandong generation who followed the saint basically started from the bottom, were well versed in the people's livelihood and hardships, and advocated reform. There are also some ministers who have the same opinion as them in the early days, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others. As for the ...... that rejects reform It is nothing more than the scholars and doctors who came before them, and they did not want to make drastic reforms that would bring the possibility of turmoil to the world. ”

Luo Gan was taken aback, and suddenly found that his Song Guogong was standing on the opposite side of the times under the general environment, and vaguely heard that Fang Xuanling and others had stumbled on Xiao Yu, so if he continued to stand on the same front with Xiao Yu, the opponents he faced seemed to be only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other reformist pioneers, and they were the general trend of the times represented behind them, unstoppable and invincible.

In this way, Luo Gan understood why Li Shimin favored reform more, whether it was the ministers who wanted to make contributions or Li Shimin himself used their mouths to carry out reforms, it was the fuse that brought down the position of Song Guogong in the future.

The teacup in front of the two was empty, and Liu Buwen came to change the tea.

"Master Chu, please try this cup of tea."

Chu Suiliang sprinkled some garlic into the tea to make it taste richer. At the same time, Luo Gan asked Yanshan to bring okra soup, which specially took the spring water of Zhongnan Mountain near Chang'an City, and added some coarse salt to cook it carefully.

"Good tea! If you don't come from a famous family, it is generally difficult to taste such a well-prepared tea. ”

Liu Buwen was very proud, and carefully introduced: "This is the clear spring water I took from Nanshan, roasted for two days, although it has not reached the most ideal state in my mind, but it is definitely more exquisite than ordinary tea." ”

The fragrance of tea overflowed, and the three of them talked for a long time, completely forgetting the passage of time.

Other shops in Fang Street saw that the business of Datang Wanshiwu was so hot, and there were many people who were dissatisfied.

The blacksmith's Long Ye was blocked in his small shop, and even Huang Weijun, the shopkeeper of the liquor store on the side, was shocked.

Master Long: "Shopkeeper Huang, you said that this street is not up to us, when did it become the world of these outsiders." ”

Huang Weijun looked at Long Ye with peach blossom eyes and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I haven't seen anyone dare to do anything wrong in our place, oops! The world is going down. ”

Long Ye rubbed his hands and slapped it on the table.

Huang Weijun: "Master Long, don't be impatient, didn't there be a lot of little shopkeepers who came to this place to wander around?" No big deal. ”

Master Long: "I don't know what to do, it's not bad to go to Nanshan to bury it." ”

Huang Weijun raised his glass and clinked glasses with Long Ye, and the two conspired on how to bring some trouble to Datang Wanshiwu.

Chu Suiliang left the Wanshi House, Luo Gan's smile gradually disappeared, and quickly according to the requirements in the notice, he preliminarily selected a group of people who could sit in intelligence work, and arranged one of them.

Luo Gan: "Your first task is down, investigate the Zhang family's chicken household, say that the head of the family is eating outside, and see his movements, where he has worked, what he has done, and who he usually befriends with him." ”

After that person got the order, he withdrew, Luo Gan was still nervous, after all, the person who had just come in, he couldn't make Luo Gan feel at ease when he did things, he could only say that he would do a simple task and exercise first, and at the same time observe loyalty, after all, intelligence work, it is difficult to believe in the accuracy of information without enough loyalty.

At the same time, Rogan found Yanshan.

"Yanshan, your wine is brewing well, but now there is a most important task that can only be handed over to you."

Yanshan was immediately concentrated, and Luo Gan generally said that things must be him, and it was not a trivial matter.

"The owner of the Hongwen Pavilion, Chu Suiliang has already come over. Nominally, they asked me whether I was conservative or reformist, but in fact there must be a hidden mystery. I need you to enter the Hongwen Pavilion to understand what the so-called Eighteen Bachelors are and the internal relationship, so that we can prepare for the next step. ”

For the sudden order, Yanshan could not find a suitable way to work.

"I probably understand, but I don't understand what the purpose of this is, what does Hongwen Hall have to do with our little Wanshi House, and why the famous Chu Suiliang came to us to deal with this matter."

"It must be because the resources at hand are not convenient, but he must always be vigilant. Because we stand on Song Guogong's position after all, once something goes wrong, it is easy to catch fire and burn to Song Guogong. ”

Yanshan pretended to be surprised: "In that case, why don't you refuse?" ”

Luo Gan: "I can't shirk it, this matter is related to our future strategy, including Song Guogong. ”
