"That's a great idea, if you put it that way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although Xiao Mu's whole idea sounded a bit fanciful and seemed difficult to realize, Lin Yi finally had to admit that if what Xiao Mu said could become reality, then at least in a short period of time, it would be a great good thing for the Ming court. As for the development after dozens or hundreds of years, for example, Zheng Zhilong, who occupied Taiwan and became the emperor of the soil, or whether the descendants who inherited his position will support the army and respect themselves, or even raise troops to rebel, etc., it is not foreseeable now, after all, for the Ming Dynasty in the original history, there is no longer dozens or hundreds of years of qi.

"I think so too, but it's really difficult to make it happen, and now it's just an imaginary thing." Xiao Mu replied, "It's just that if this thing is really done in the end, and Zheng Zhilong also fights to drive away the Dutch on the island of Taiwan, then what should Zheng Chenggong do in the original history?" Are we changing history beyond recognition? ”

"History has been changed beyond recognition by you, have you ever seen an emperor who will abdicate soon after he ascends the throne? If everything is strictly according to the original history, then you can wait with peace of mind to go to the coal mountain and hang yourself in ten years. Lin Yi replied, "As for Zheng Chenggong's question, gold will shine everywhere, and he may have more wonderful deeds in the future." ”

"That's right, and if this Zhao'an can really be as successful as expected, then the one who will recover Taiwan in the future will become Zheng Zhilong, who happens to be surnamed Zheng, I have to say that history really has this amazing coincidence, this should be the so-called 'historical inertia', right?"

"What is the 'inertia of history', you don't know how to pretend to understand, and use any new word to show off." Lin Yi replied, "It's just a coincidence, or maybe this Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong were still the same family five hundred years ago." I don't know that Zheng Zhilong is actually the two traversers of Zheng Chenggong's father, and some ridiculous speculation is going on at the moment, of course, this "ridiculous" is also for those who have opened the "eyes of heaven" and stood in the "perspective of God".

"Having said that, is there any way to find a historical celebrity and a big hero like Zheng Chenggong in advance and then focus on cultivating him?" At the mention of Zheng Chenggong, Xiao Mu couldn't help but think of "loving talents", and the feeling of wanting to include all the famous celebrities in history under his command is similar to the feeling when he played strategy games such as the Three Kingdoms before the later generations traveled.

"The only clue now is that Zheng Chenggong is a student of Qian Qianyi." Lin Yi replied, "But that is more than ten years later, I also said before, even if Zheng Chenggong is born, I am afraid that he is still a child, and it is very likely that he is not as old as Li Shiyao and Zhao Qizhi." ”

"In that case, it's impossible to find someone in a short period of time." Xiao Mu also knew that there was almost no possibility of this, but he still regretted it slightly, "It seems that we can only wait until more than ten years later, and find it from Qian Qianyi's students." ”

"But I don't think it's feasible." Lin Yi replied, "Because whether Qian Qianyi in this time and space can still receive Zheng Chenggong's student, I'm afraid it's also confirmed." ”

"Ah......" Xiao Mu suddenly felt a little crazy, and finally had to give up, "Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack like a headless fly, it's better to 'meet by fate'......"

"Now that it's true, even if you really send someone to find it, you may not be able to find it, who made you and I know nothing about Zheng Chenggong's background and experience?" Lin Yi replied, "But don't be too discouraged, I just said that gold will shine anywhere, maybe ten years later, you will find a young man surnamed Zheng appear in your sight, and this young man may be Zheng Chenggong in the original history." ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Xiao Mu replied, "Compared with Zheng Chenggong, who can't be seen or touched, and is still a child, let's take a good look at what kind of talents can be selected in this year's examination to be more reliable." ”

"By the way, how are you preparing for the exam?" Xiao Mu mentioned the exam, which reminded Lin Yi of this matter, so he opened his mouth to care, "The exam will start in three days, should you really wait until the last minute to announce the exam questions?" ”

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Xiao Mucai seemed to wake up from a dream, "If you don't mention this, I almost forgot about the preparation of the exam questions!" It's really happened too many things in the past few days, there are floods, Zhao'an, and mutinies, and the court is shocked three times a day, which makes my whole person nervous. Of course, there was actually another major event that made Xiao Mu uneasy, but he didn't mention it, and that was Concubine Tian's pregnancy.

"It seems that the secrecy of the exam questions will be the best ever." When Lin Yi learned that Xiao Mu hadn't even started to prepare, he could only comment like this, "After all, even you, the last person who made the question, didn't think about what kind of questions to take." ”

"Speaking of which, this is really imminent, there are only three days left, I really have to hurry up and prepare the exam questions as soon as possible." Xiao Mu replied, and his tone sounded very eager.

"Don't worry, it's very simple to prepare for the exam, just choose some sentences from the Analects, anyway, you just have to answer the questions, and you don't need to answer the questions." Lin Yi not only added sarcastically, but also comfortingly, "And the sentences in the Analects are not much different to you, so you can boldly choose a few sentences at random when the time comes." ”

"You can't pick randomly." Xiao Mu shook his head, denied Lin Yi's "good intentions", and continued, "Obviously, I still plan to come up with one or two 'interception questions', which will undoubtedly take some time to choose carefully, at least the two sentences used for 'interception' should be catchy and have the right rhythm to read after being connected together." It is obvious that Xiao Mu has been regarded as a mess like "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, but the person is in the dim light".

"If it's okay, I'll go first." Saying that, Xiao Mu got up in a hurry and said goodbye, "In a while, I will ask the cabinet to send an urgent delivery to Xiong Wencan in Fujian, and ask him to recruit Zheng Zhilong according to my latest ideas." Then I'm going to start preparing for the exam! ”
