Chapter X

"Yi Gongzi, why are you acting like this?" Ming Xiang was a little puzzled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is also clear that he has been trying his best to calculate with frequent tricks, and he can almost exchange his life for 20,000 taels of gold. If you use gold to recruit troops and buy horses, and rely on the power of the Ming family to open up the official road, according to the wisdom of the general, you may not be unable to protect yourself and seek a smooth official road. However, Yijiang had no intention of using the money, but in a blink of an eye, she gave Lin Yao all the gold that had not yet been hot, so that she didn't understand what Yijiang was thinking at all.

Yijiang looked at the cloudy tea and rice soup in the teacup, smiled slightly, and did not answer Ming Xiang's question.

He stood up and looked at the two men who were walking into the main hall.

The person walking in front is tall and mighty, and his spirit is compelling, although he is about half a hundred years old, he does not decline at all, but reveals the evil aura that can only be polished by the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, which is obviously the general Lin Yao himself. And the person behind him, who is over thirty years old, has a half-beard, is shrewd and capable, and must be Lin Yao's most relied on staff.

also made a big gift, knelt in front of Lin Yao crisply, and arched his hands on the top of his head. "It will not be talented, I have long heard that General Lin is benevolent and righteous in the four fields, and there is a majestic and strategic talent, and the heart of the sea is inclusive. Now I came here, with more than 20,000 taels of gold and a sentence of heavenly opportunity to recommend myself, I hope you will accept it. ”

Lin Yao's eyes were blazing. He calmly walked in front of him, and sat on the throne with a golden sword. "I recommend filial piety to the officials, but all talents can be recommended by officials at the state and county level to take the imperial court to take the examination, and every 200,000 people will get one place a year. However, although my General's Mansion is not as good as the imperial court, and only the capable people use it, it is better for you to say it yourself, what qualifications do you have to sponsor yourself, and what kind of ability do you sponsor? ”

This unkind question is not so much that Lin Yao is testing him, but that it is just giving him a chance to express himself.

He will also be respectful and answer confidently.

"The general is a Shenhou, a first-class general, and he will pay ten thousand stones, and if he is exchanged for money, it will be more than two hundred taels of gold. If you buy an official with money, 20,000 taels of gold is enough to buy a general. Among the thirteen prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of my Chu Dynasty, Jingzhou is the richest, and the annual tax is only more than 10,000 taels of gold, and the number of recommended places is more than 20 people. If you buy a place with money, then the boy can buy more than 40 people.

The boy thinks that this is the way of officials, just like marching and fighting, the soldiers and horses need grain and grass first, and if you want to go the right way, you need gold and silver to pave the way. More money can help the world, and less money can also protect one party, so the kid thought that he didn't get the help of the family, and without using a trace of external force, he raised Jingzhou for two years of taxes and ten years of general income within three days, which is enough to prove that the kid has the ability to sponsor others. ”

After Yijiang finished his words in one breath, Lin Yao did not make a sound, but knelt on the seat and looked at Yijiang, and glanced at Mingxiang behind Yijiang.

His gaze calmly swept over Chen Ping, a staff member who had come in with him. Chen Ping naturally understood what he meant, and did not step forward to help Yijiang, but took a step forward slightly, retreated from the scope of Yijiang's salute, and then achieved above Lin Yao's secondary position.

"My Chu Dynasty officials have always been filial piety, talented, simple, Taoist, virtuous, outspoken, independent, high-minded, upright, and innocent. Chen Ping asked.

"The one who is protected by the kid is naturally virtuous."

Seeing Chen Ping's movements, he put down his hands, dusted off his clothes and stood up.

"Hmph." Lin Yao snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Yijiang's performance. Yijiang didn't care, but sat directly on the other seat opposite Lin Yao and Chen Ping.

Ming Xiang, who was standing on the side, was in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move with his head down. She felt that she was almost overwhelmed by the serious atmosphere in the room, and she was reluctant to even stand.

"The boy is also a general, I have seen General Lin and Lord Changshi." The staff who can follow the general's side and is deeply trusted is naturally Chen Ping, the chief of the General's Mansion, and he will also think.

Lin Yao's expression seemed to be dissatisfied, but of course he knew what he meant.

Although Lin Yao didn't say to let him get up, since Chen Ping said that he would not accept his big gift, of course, it was because he thought that Lin Yao had already accepted Yijiang's big gift, and as a staff member, he should not be able to accept it again. In this way, of course, there will be no reason to continue to kneel.

However, it is also possible that Chen Ping thinks that he is not qualified to salute him at all, but this option has long been automatically ruled out.

will also look directly into Lin Yao's eyes, and his expression and tone are unique to young people. "The kid asked Luoyang talents with three attempts, and he was not defeated, which is enough to be virtuous."

"is still literary and talented, but also dares to tease Yang Jing, when he enters the Li family, he is a talent, why knock on my door." Lin Yao's voice was like a bell and drum, and it shook Mingxiang's ears faintly.

Yi Jiang blinked and seemed to be a little distressed, but he didn't give up in momentum. "It seems that the general already knows the ridiculous things that the kid has done."

"I've heard a little." The corners of Lin Yao's mouth also pulled out an arc, as if he was smiling.

Such a young man in cloth clothes can play Yang Jing, the number one talent in Luoyang, without anyone's help, and he is not uninterested. However, he didn't want to be the second Yang Jing, of course he had to know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

will also lower his eyes, Lin Yao is clearly hinting at the reason why he is targeting Yang Jing.

"The boy was in the wilderness a month ago, and Aunt Meng Kong and Lian'er came to the rescue, so that they could live. But before the kid could repay the favor, about ten days ago, Yang Jing passed by the grass house and saw that Lian'er was beautiful and captured. Lian'er swore to death, and the bastard ended Lian'er's life with Bai Aya and abandoned her body in a mass grave.

The boy was favored by Aunt Kong, and with human feelings, he thought about retribution. When the boy benefited from the grass house, he also fell in love with Lian'er, but he had a marriage contract and was commensurate with brother and sister. Yang Jing insulted my benefactor and killed my relatives, even if he was smeared with liver and brain, he should be retributed, so this bureau was set up. However, the kid's ability is limited after all, and he is not as powerful as the Yang family, so he specially hopes to take refuge in the general. If the general takes him in, the boy will do his best and his meritorious service will be rewarded. ”

"But sheltering you, and also standing on the opposite side of the Yang family's Anning Marquis Mansion, what good is it with me?" Seeing Yijiang's actions and answers, Lin Yao nodded secretly in his heart and asked with interest.

He did feel a little bit of a pity for his talents.

"But what's wrong with General Yu?" will also ask rhetorical questions. "The Yang family is a relative of the queen mother, and the general is a relative of the queen. Since the queen is favored in the harem, it has always made Emperor Chu Huan's heirs not abundant, and the queen mother is jealous, and she chooses the second prince to raise under her knees, and hides in the opposition of Queen Lin. Since the general and the Yang family have long been unable to stand on the same front, why not take this opportunity to suppress the Yang family, in case the officials of the court are inclined to 'Yang Hou'? ”

Yang Hou refers to Yang Ning, the second prince raised under the knee of the Empress Dowager Yang, who is also nicknamed 'Yang Hou' because of the support of the Yang family.

Lin Yao's eyes were lowered, and the index finger of his right hand lightly buckled on his leg.

Admittedly, what I will say is indeed very reasonable. But in the affairs of the imperial court, if you take a shot, you will move the whole body, although you can indeed use the time to suppress the Yang family, but he will also be under corresponding pressure, so the harem relationship alone is not enough to be a reason for him to make a move.

The corners of his mouth were bent into the shape of a hook, and when he saw that the fish had entered the net, he finally cast his real bait. "Li Jiagui is the family of the fourth and third princes, and he has always been the first to look forward to the Shilin. The Ming family is also a famous family, Ziyu is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Li, and his only daughter, Miss Ming Er, is known for her talent, beautiful appearance, and the age of the two sons of the Li family is just right to match. Hasn't the general ever wondered why Miss Ming Er suddenly promised the Yang family and hastily got married? Why did Miss Ming Er appear next to the kid by accident? ”

Lin Yao and Chen Ping glanced at each other, seeing that the other party's eyes were also confused and dazed, and they didn't understand why they suddenly pulled the topic to Ming Xiang.

He turned his eyes to Ming Xiang, Ming Xiang finally couldn't hold on, and his knees suddenly weakened, and he took the opportunity to ask Lin Yao for peace. "Mingjia Xiang'er has seen the general."

Lin Yao's gaze circled around her inexplicably, "What does the woman's business have to do with me and other martial artists?" ”

"It was also the girl from Ziming who saw a glimmer of heaven, and she couldn't bear to see the general's heroes and heroes being damaged by traitors, so she specially set up this situation to see the general, and explained it very well." He also threw out his bait word by word, "The general will soon have an old friend to tell him, remember not to believe it." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Whoever tells the other, the palace is summoned...... Something different! ”

Lin Yao paused, then laughed.

Originally, he was still evaluating the truth and moisture of Yijiang's words, but he was moved by the intention of cherishing his talents, and it was not impossible to protect this young man and cultivate it. But when he heard Yijiang's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "Huangkou Xiaoer doesn't know the height of the sky, how can you comment on the affairs of the court. I have granted you what you ask. ”

No matter how high his skills are, he is just a yellow-haired boy in the end. An outsider who does not understand the intricacies of the imperial court at all, and dares to meddle in government affairs in order to show his ability? It's so ambitious, I don't know how the depth can be reused.

"Before this, the general can use gold as lodging, and let the boy live for ten days, and the boy's words will be clear." Yijiang also laughed, but his expression was rare and very serious.

What news did he really get? Lin Yao's eyebrows sank and he stared at him. "General Ben will give you ten days, you can do it yourself."

With that, he turned and left.

Chen Ping also took a deep look at Yijiang, and then left. He couldn't be clearer about Lin Yao's thoughts, if what Yijiang said afterwards didn't happen, then unlike Yang Jing, no one could stop Yijiang's anger from playing the general, and he would definitely pay for his life with death.

Ming Xiang's eyes were full of nervousness and panic, and she pulled Yijiang's sleeve tightly.

Yijiang patted her hand gently, "What, Miss Mo Feiming also thinks that Yijiang is just talking big?" ”
