Liu Qi naturally knew Han Ji's itchy mentality, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and then said with a straight face: "Lord Han, this son still has a sentence that I forgot to remind you, if Lord Han really developed the technology of steel filling method, please don't pass it on to others casually, even if it is Nanjun Taishou, this is a unique technology between you and me." ”

Liu Qi thought to himself, this is more than 300 years later, it is much more advanced than now, I am just passing on this technology to you now just to dig you to me, but I can't let you pass on this technology to others, especially your top boss Cai Mao, who is my enemy.

Han Ji is also an understanding person, so he naturally knows what Liu Qi means by this, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, if the lower official develops the steel filling method, he will only show this skill in front of the eldest prince for the rest of his life, and will never show it to a third person." ”

Liu Qi nodded faintly, and said with a smile: "If Lord Han is really trustworthy, this son has many other ideas here, and he may continue to mention them to Lord Han in the future." ”

"Huh? It's true? Han Ji couldn't help but be excited, and made a long bow respectfully to Liu Qi, and then said with a straight face: "Please look at the table of the lower official in the future, no, the lower official will resign, and serve in your ordnance supervision with the eldest prince, even if it is a small foreman, the lower official will be willing." ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "This is not good, you are appointed by my father, if you resign like this, and then come to me, I am afraid that my father will not look good, adults and wait patiently, my son believes that it will not be long before you will be dismissed, and it will not be too late to go to our army at that time, as long as the adults come to our army, Qi will sweep the bed to greet you." ”

"Huh? How does the eldest prince know that the lower official will be dismissed? Han Ji couldn't help but shake his head, and said disapprerovingly: "At the beginning, the state pastor recruited the lower officials, and the lower officials ran to Xiaoling, and finally reluctantly became the mayor of Yicheng, and now the eldest prince said that the lower officials would be removed from the government on his own initiative, and the lower officials really couldn't understand the reason. ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to understand, Lord Han is the mayor of Yicheng, a subordinate of Nanjun Taishou, and Cai Mao has always conspired to abolish the elder and young, and he is very unaccustomed to this son, and now the adult is close to this son, which will naturally cause Cai Mao to retaliate, but between the reputation of Lord Han, although he does not dare to do harm, he will definitely remove the lord from office, and at the same time take the opportunity to appoint his cronies as the mayor of Yicheng, and control Yicheng into his own hands." ”

"Wouldn't it? Lord Cai is a well-known family, so he won't take revenge for himself like this, right? What's more, the eldest son's talent is excellent, and now it is expected by everyone, do the second prince and Lord Cai still dare to risk the world's disapproval and give birth to such an idea that goes against the will of heaven? Han Ji couldn't help but shake his head and said with a look of disbelief.

"Hehe, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people over time, whether they will do this, Lord Han will know in the future. There is another thing I don't know if Lord Han has heard, the eldest cousin Zhang Yun who was put into the cell last night died of an inexplicable violent illness, according to Lord Han's understanding of Zhang Yun, do you think he will really die of a violent illness? ”

"What? Zhang Yun is dead? Hehe, he died well, this person is the nephew of the lord, he is arrogant, and he does all kinds of evil, causing the people's resentment to boil, and he is even more arrogant to his colleagues, except for Lord Cai, he really doesn't put anyone in his eyes. Hey? The eldest prince is saying that Zhang Yun's death and Cai..."

Han Ji couldn't help but glare, and said in disbelief.

"Hehe, no one will believe anything now, anyway, Zhang Yun is dead, many clues have been interrupted, although Liu Beijia is investigating the murderer and interrogating the real murderer behind the scenes, but even if the trial is out, it is useless, anyway, there is no proof of death, no one can know where Zhang Yun's huge wealth of greed for ink has gone? In fact, sometimes there is no need to interrogate at all, everyone knows that who else can stand behind Zhang Yun in the entire Jingzhou? Liu Qi smiled and said lightly.

Han Ji couldn't help but be slightly shocked, but he didn't speak, and soon said with a smile: "Actually, the lower official is really looking forward to being dismissed, and then he can justifiably go to the eldest prince, but when the time comes, the eldest prince must not refuse to be dismissed." ”

"Hehe, what did Lord Han say? But Mr. Han must not go directly to my Yangzhou, to go after the disguise, and to come in a roundabout way, here is the warrant of this son, as long as Lord Han holds it, whether it is to Jingnan or Cangwu, Nanhai, Yuzhang or any place in Lujiang, as long as you show this thing, you can get a grand reception from the local Taishou. This princess is waiting for the good news of Lord Han. After Liu Qi finished speaking, he took out an arrow from his arms and handed it to Han Ji with a solemn face.

"Thank you, eldest prince, the lower official has taken his leave, please see the last general's table." Han Ji arched his hand at Liu Qi, carefully put away the arrow, and then said goodbye and left.

Liu Qi sent Han Ji away, and his mood was also quite joyful, after all, he had attracted another talent at the level of a minister, although this talent was actually originally under his father Liu Biao, but if he didn't win it over, this person would probably be dismissed by Cai Mao and leave Jingzhou, and no matter who he defected to, he would be on the side of the hostile camp.

As for Zhang Yun's killing, Liu Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, because he didn't have any hope of using Zhang Yun to bring down Cai Mao, in other words, he was originally preparing to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Yun.

As soon as this person died, Cai Mao was equivalent to a broken arm, which also made him rely on Huang Zu even more, and such an ending was exactly what Liu Qi wanted to see.

After a while, Liu Qi suddenly heard that Sima Hui and Pang Degong were visiting together, and he couldn't help but be excited, dressed up, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Mr. Shuijing and Mr. Pang, the two of you are here, it's really brilliant, please." Liu Qi smiled all over his face, let the two respected figures into the room, and began to talk.

"Hehe, the eldest prince became famous in a fight, and he became famous in just one year, becoming the most dazzling young man in my Jingzhou, even if he looks at the world, I am afraid that no one can beat him, it is really my blessing in Jingzhou." Sima Hui smiled and looked at Liu Qi and said.

Liu Qi hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. Shuijing is really awarded, the reason why the younger generation can have this achievement is mainly because my father ruled Jingzhou with literature and accumulated a rich family foundation, so that I have no worries about money and food when I fight, and at the same time, it is also because my Jingzhou culture is prosperous, and the world's talents are gathered, and in this regard, the two gentlemen have made a lot of contributions." The younger generation heard that there are still many talents under Mr. Shuijing, I don't know how many I would like to recommend? The first is to contribute to the prosperity of Jingzhou, and the second is to sweep away the heroes and stabilize the Han family, and to live up to their talent and enthusiasm for serving the country. ”

"Oh? I don't know if the eldest prince knows who are my disciples? Sima Hui smiled and asked slowly.

"Hehe, the younger generation knows that the predecessors are full of talents, Liu Hui Gonghei, Xiang Lang Juda, and Xu Shuyuan in our army are all from Mr. Zhi, as well as Yin Huang Siqian, Li Rendexian, Shi Tao Guangyuan, Cui Junzhou Ping, Meng Jian Gongwei and others, all of them are young and handsome, in addition, there is also a great sage, surnamed Zhuge , bright, the word Kongming, I don't know if what the younger generation said is right?"

"Huh?" Seeing that Liu Qi counted all the disciples of Sima Hui like a number of treasures, Sima Hui couldn't help but be surprised, and said with a laugh: "I didn't expect you to tell all the proud disciples and friends of my disciples, it seems that you are really very attentive to my disciples." In this case, it seems that the old man will not be able to bleed, do not hide from the eldest son, the old man came to visit this time, one of the purposes is to recommend Shi Tao, Cui Jun, Meng Jian, these three people heard that you are in Yangzhou to persuade the study, so they volunteered, ready to establish a state and county school there, the vast Confucianism, and at the same time will be a Jiangdong scholar Yu Zhongxiang. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is naturally the best, the younger generation can't ask for it, please tell the three of them to the seniors, they can see me at any time, I am ready to worship them to persuade students to engage, and together to assist Yu Zhongxiang to establish state schools and county schools, and be responsible for selecting and hiring good teachers, recruiting students as much as possible, and when they are successful, they will be assessed by Wang Zhongxuan, who is engaged in literature, and those who excel in their studies can be directly awarded officials, I don't know what the two seniors want?" ”

Sima Hui nodded and smiled: "The eldest son's move is very good, and it is estimated that Yangzhou will become the second Jingzhou from now on, but the current situation in Yangzhou is not very peaceful, whether it is Sun Ce, who divides Danyang, Wu County and Huiji, or Cao Cao, who has a county in Jiujiang, they are all strong and strong, I hope that the prince will settle Yangzhou as soon as possible, so that I can see the rise of Yangzhou scholars as soon as possible." ”

Pang Degong also twisted his beard and smiled, and said to Liu Qi: "The eldest prince is indeed far-sighted, and the old man believes in the efforts of the eldest prince, and Yangzhou's studious style should not be inferior to Jingzhou. The little nephew Shiyuan can be under the command of the prince, it is really his blessing, and he will ask the eldest prince to take care of it in the future, and the old man believes that under the cultivation of the eldest prince, he will be able to quickly become a real talent. ”

Liu Qi hurriedly returned the salute, saying that he didn't dare to take it.

At this moment, Sima Hui was so stunned that there was no one beside him, and smiled at Liu Qi: "The eldest prince has a good means, obviously marrying the Huang family, but he made Huang Zu defect to the Cai family, so that the old man believes that the eldest prince will be able to control the overall situation of Jingzhou in the future." ”

Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered: "Wanggong keeps it secret for the younger generation, and he will never dare to forget it." ”

Sima Hui smiled and said, "My disciples, all in the Gongzi camp, how dare you destroy them?" ”

Liu Qi immediately smiled and said, "It's just that Zhuge Kongming is not allowed to enter my camp, and I regret it in my heart." ”

Sima Hui suddenly said: "Liang has great ambitions, and now he is studying hard behind closed doors, and he has no intention of getting involved in disputes. ”

Liu Qi was silent when he heard this, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
