If Ji Ning didn't say this, others would think that he was acting in vain and using the trust of the prince to do wrong. But when he clarified his truth, others would feel empowered, because the ideas put forward by Ji Ning were very novel.

But this does not mean that all the students present will accept Ji Ning's views, everyone has a different concept of governing the country, but this is actually in response to Ji Ning's words, "The way to govern the country is to meet the needs of the people of a country and the four seas", in the academic field, seeking common ground while reserving differences is also a basic principle, but anyone who is enlightened and does not drill the horns of the bull will not argue with Ji Ning, because Ji Ning's words themselves are correct.

When Ji Ning finished speaking, including Zhao Yuanqi, everyone present was pondering, and some wanted to refute Ji Ning's words, but what Ji Ning said was to let the people who govern the country adopt the opinions of people from all walks of life, Ji Ning can tolerate you, but you can't tolerate Ji Ning's point of view, that is, you are too petty.

"Yongning Takami." Zhao Yuanqi stretched his brows and said with a smile, "After Yongning's words, this king finally understood, it turns out that you asked Miss Liu and this girl, and you also have the idea of accepting the people's advice." Haha, this lofty argument is also the most desirable way of governing the country that this son has heard in recent years. ”

Zhao Yuanqi said this, while lifting Ji Ning, it was tantamount to derogating He Huan, who had also published his insights just now.

In normal times, He Huan may not disdain to fight with Ji Ning, but now when it comes to talent and status in the eyes of King Chongwang, it is related to his face and future, he doesn't want to be a clown like a beam-jumping clown, and become a green leaf to foil Ji Ning's flowers, in other words, even if he knows that he has become a beam-jumping clown, he must argue for himself to the end.

He Huan said: "Ji Gongzi, your words of governing the country are indeed loud and sound. But dare to ask, in the four seas of the world, so many people, each of whom has their own needs, how can the ruler be able to consider everyone's needs in every way? ”

Although these words had the intention of stirring up nonsense, after thinking about it carefully, the students present also nodded.

What you Ji Ning said is light, governing the country has become meeting the needs of the people, but there are countless people in the world, no one can collect the opinions of the people and meet them one by one, and some wishes are not realistic, there are always those who daydream, for example, if they want to soar into the sky, even he He Huan wants to be ranked in the imperial class, but the ruler will not meet his wishes, and he must rely on his own efforts to work the imperial examination ground.

Ji Ning said: "What Gongzi He said is extremely true. Ji's suggestion is not to let the ruler adopt everyone's point of view, but to let the ruler go down to the people, or simply send the imperial historian to listen to the humanities and people's livelihood in various places, if you hear it with both ears, or you can't accept a hundred words a day, but what if you hear it with a hundred, a thousand ears or ten thousand ears? ”

Zhao Yuanqi has been looking at Ji Ning, hearing this, his face showed a slight surprise, he thought about it carefully, it is also the case, you listen alone, what you hear is always one-sided, and relatively biased, because the courtiers or people with other purposes will hide the real needs of the people in front of the rulers, or the three of them will become tigers to paralyze the rulers. But if you send hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people to the local area to listen to the opinions of the people, it will be different, and even if you can't collect everyone's ideas, you can at least know where the disaster is in the place, whether the people are prosperous, what their expectations are for the country, and so on.

What Ji emphasized is not to adopt the opinions of every people, but to let the rulers accept advice when governing the country, and distinguish between good and evil in governing the country. The merits of governing the country are also accumulated from a little bit of triviality, and only one person can be safer than the people! Ji Ning finally added.

"Okay." Zhao Yuanqi exclaimed, "Yongning's words make this trip worthwhile." This son will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and pay tribute to Yongning's cup! ”

Tang Xie and others have always admired Ji Ning very much, and now Ji Ning has been appreciated by the prince of Chongwang, they also feel that their faces are bright, so they hurriedly poured wine, and everyone got up to drink together, this time Ji Ning could not shirk, and drank Zhao Yuanqi's three glasses of toast in a row.

Liu Ru is eyes looked over, and there was a little more admiration, although she didn't know much about the way to govern the country, but she also felt that Ji Ning's words were not empty talk, and as long as the rulers were allowed to do more practical things, it would be good for the people and people's livelihood. It can be regarded as working for the benefit of the people, rather than throwing out big hats like He Huan and others who came up to throw out such big hats as "etiquette" and "law".

Everyone sat down, and even Liu Ru returned to sit behind the curtain, but she didn't dare to play the guqin casually, and had to wait for Zhao Yuanqi or Tang Jie, Ji Ning and others to arrange, after all, today's protagonist is not her, but Chongwang Shizi and Ji Ning and others present.

Zhao Yuanqi said that he came to watch Liu Ru is performance, but at this time he was all focused on Ji Ning, and his eyes flashed with brilliance and said: "Yongning, what you said about governing the country just now was very good, but you never said it, how did you do the second article of this township test?" ”

Ji Ning didn't want to make the content of his third article public, because he was afraid that his arguments might be a bit extreme, and others would use his article to attack him, thinking that he was "disloyal and unfilial", which was a big crime in this era.

But in the second article, he has no need to hide it, because it seems to him to be just an ordinary argumentative essay, and except for the argument that "the water will carry the boat, the water will capsize the boat", everything else is prosaic.

Tang Xie took the pen and paper in person, Ji Ning was about to study the ink, and Zhao Yuanqi thought that there should be a protagonist today, that is, Liu Ruyi.

Zhao Yuanqi said with a smile: "Yongning wants to write an article, how can he study ink by himself?" I have tasted the beauty of the ancients with red sleeves and fragrance, and now Miss Liu is present, but I don't know if Miss Liu is willing to add fragrance to Yongning's red sleeves? ”

Liu Ru stood up, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "The slave family is only afraid that they don't have such qualifications. ”

Ji Ning smiled faintly and made a gesture of please, Liu Ru came over, rolled up her sleeves slightly, picked up the ink with her slender hand, and began to study the ink, because her movements were gentle, not only beautiful, but also elegant in her manners, which would make people feel pleasing to the eye.

Others can't help but think that only a person with a wide range of knowledge like Ji Ning can get Miss Liu's favor, so let's not be ugly in front of him. Even He Huan, who questioned Ji Ning just now, had a feeling of being ashamed of himself.

With red sleeves adding fragrance, Ji Ning picked up the pen and put his article on the paper.

He uses regular letters, although it is not cursive, but his pen speed is not hurried, and the text is quite neat. He practiced calligraphy for so long, and finally began to have a little effect, and he could barely see people. When Ji Ning finished writing an article, others wanted to look at it and see how brilliant Ji Ning's article was.

And Tang Xie and Han Yu and others, who were standing on Ji Ning's side, had actually read this article when Ji Ning was writing, even if Tang Xie and Han Yu were people, they had to admire Ji Ning's literary brilliance, and they asked themselves if they could write such an outstanding article as Ji Ning.

"I wrote a clumsy article, and I wrote it hastily on the examination site of the Gongyuan Academy, and I asked the prince to correct it." Ji Ning handed the article forward.

Zhao Yuanqi just looked at the beginning, and his eyes couldn't be taken away.
