Ye Heng walked out of the court class with a solemn expression, and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty must be worried, even if the two strategies have no effect, there are still more than 100 scribes recruited by the recruitment list, and now they are discussing countermeasures in the recruitment hall, compared to this time, they will definitely be able to share the worries for Your Majesty!" ”

Because he knows that no one wants to stand up at this time. In the face of Zhao Yan, who is on the verge of anger, every word may provoke anger. Just a few imperial historians didn't say anything, and they ended up cutting their jobs for the people.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty nodded yes one after another, feeling that what Ye Heng said was very reasonable.

"What Ye Shangshu said is extremely true, His Majesty has no anger to damage the dragon body, and Taishi Ling Yang is not praised, his disciple Ye Yu's arithmetic method has far surpassed him, it is better for His Majesty to recall him back to the capital, maybe in this item, he can deal with the envoys of the Jin State!"

Liang Ke comforted Zhao Yan out of kindness, but he didn't want to say this, which made the originally quiet court suddenly lively.

As soon as Zhao Yan heard Ye Yu's name, he suddenly came to his senses, patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said to himself: "Yes, Yang Aiqing said that Ye Yu's arithmetic method is already above him!" Maybe he can defeat the envoys of the Jin Kingdom......"

"Spread My Will ......"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this matter needs to be discussed!" Before Zhao Yan's words were finished, Zhang Shuo came to the court to admonish.

Zhao Yan's brows moved slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "Zhang Aiqing, at this time, what else is worth discussing?" Could it be that Zhang Aiqing has a way to deal with the enemy? ”

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that since the Zhaoxian Pavilion has recruited many capable people, why not let these people fight against the envoys of the Jin Kingdom! If you can win, why bother to go far? ”

Zhang Shuo raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Yan's face was still gloomy, so he continued: "What if...... If you can't win, it's not too late for Ye Yu to come forward! Moreover, in response to this agreement, at least five of them must be better than the Jin country, and winning by the method of arithmetic alone will not be able to turn the tide of the situation! ”

"What Lord Zhang said is very true, and the old minister seconded it!"

Yu Yunwen, who has never expressed his opinion, also stood up at this time to support Zhang Shuo. Then the two looked at each other, but did not speak again.

"Well, I'll see!"

Zhao Yan glanced at the two of them with deep meaning, and then left the vertical arch hall and left to the harem.

On the vertical arch hall, Yue Lei, a scholar of Hanlin, wanted to say something, but seeing that Yu Yunwen had already voted on his attitude, as a member of this faction, it was not easy for him to say anything.

The procession that followed the courtiers left the cold palace!

The recruitment hall, in fact, is a temporary post house, and the folk talents recruited by the recruitment list have gathered here to wait for the summons.

The establishment of the recruitment list was proposed by Ye Heng, and the work of organizing the selection was naturally presided over by him. In a short period of time, it is impossible to test the authenticity of these people's knowledge, and they can be admitted based on a few high-minded arguments.

In the end, after several layers of screening, Ye Heng selected eight out of more than 100 people. Immediately, these eight people were introduced into the palace, and Zhao Yan personally met them.

In the face of the high-minded talk of these eight people, Zhao Yan, a layman, doesn't know how deep the water is for these people, anyway, the two-handed skills revealed are quite good.

After getting Zhao Yan's approval, Ye Heng led this group of people to the embassy hall in a mighty manner, preparing to compete with the Bada Shanren of the Jin Kingdom.

It's a pity that the reality is always so cruel, the eight elites in the recruitment hall only worked hard for half a day in the hall, and they all left the field and returned with a fiasco!

Three groups of people, no one was spared!

However, from the time of the confrontation of these three groups of people, as well as the casualties, we can also see some clues.

The first batch of royal luxury lineup, slightly seriously injured, defeated in one day!

The second batch of college elite lineups, with many casualties, were defeated in two days!

The third batch of recruiting civil lineups, there were no casualties, and they were defeated in half a day!

It can be seen from this that the first batch of seemingly luxurious star lineups, but they are all flashy and famous, these scholars only care about intrigue all day long, how can they have time to specialize in research, so they only lose in one day!

Although the second group is college students, their professional knowledge is no less than that of these university scholars, not to mention that from the perspective of students, they hope to be able to achieve fame through this, so they are eager to win!

Because of this, after two days of hard work, the casualties were naturally heavy!

The third set is even more ridiculous, although the folk Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger are true, how can the Great Song Dynasty be able to gather in just a few days?

Moreover, even if these capable people want to serve the country, I am afraid that they will not be able to get what they want, and the water in this is not shallow......

And these literati who participated in the recruitment were mostly bureaucratic nepotism of the wealthy nobles in the capital, but they just wanted to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

The so-called rush to the doctor, and the time is so urgent, naturally no one goes to the school seriously!

The result is obvious, and it will be a complete defeat in half a day!

This competition, since the defeat of the eight major academies, has been the main topic of the Song Dynasty and the opposition. Now the three consecutive defeats are even more shocking to the whole country, like a hammer hitting the hearts of the Song people.

What was once proud is now humiliated by outsiders. This is the same as when the Song people wantonly and arrogantly ridiculed the Jin people for their barbarism and ignorance, suddenly the Jin people used what the Song people were good at, and slapped them in the face in turn.

These three slaps are loud enough! Playing at a good level! Hit hard enough!

In the past, the singing and dancing of the West Lake were leveled, the talents and beauties of the past chanted poems against each other, and the former spirit and elegance were conceited and elegant, but now it is like the erosion of death, so that there is no prosperous sound in the whole Lin'an!

This is not the prosperity of the material, but the heavy blow of culture and the haze of the soul, which makes the Song people gradually depressed!

……

At this time, in the distant Anfeng County, Ye Yu put a charcoal stove and processed mutton in the public court of the Yamen! A small stand was erected and the lamb skewers were grilled......

"Hey! I said, Ah Kuan, can you hurry up, this meat is almost roasted, why haven't you taken the seasoning yet! ”

Ye Yu fiddled with the special grill, kept tumbling the oily mutton, and shouted at the back hall from time to time, without the slightest prestige of the county magistrate on weekdays.

With the exuberance of the fire, the oil and water of the mutton are roasted, which makes the meat texture and color more attractive. Drops of oil and water fell on the charcoal fire, making a popping sound of bubbles.

A puff of green smoke, with a hint of meaty fragrance, wafted throughout the court.

"Young Master, it's here!"

Ah Kuan responded with the sound of the wind and ran to the public court. He had a plate in his hand, and on top of it were a number of dishes.

"Put it down, or this mutton will be ruined!"

Ye Yu was in a wheelchair, and he didn't have time to take care of Ah Kuan, so he casually took a brand-new brush from the pen stand on the side. Dip it in the dish and quickly spread it on the lamb skewers.

"Young master, what kind of seasoning is Sister Qiulan making......" Ah Kuan smelled it with his nose and felt that it was very fragrant, so he asked curiously.

Ye Yu fiddled with the brush, smearing the mutton gently like writing, but said with a slight smile in his mouth: "Ye's exclusive secret, how can it be leaked lightly?" ”

"Ye's secret system?"

"Yes! It is said that it has been hundreds of years, and you say that young master, can I sue you? Ye Yu said solemnly and leisurely.

Ah Kuan believed it, nodded seriously, and said to himself in a sense of loss: "No wonder this seasoning is so fragrant after smearing mutton!" ”

Poof!

As soon as Ye Yu's words fell, Qiu Lan walked in from the back hall, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but sneer: "Young master, you will tease Ah Kuan......"

Ye Yu glanced at Qiulan, and then asked Ah Kuan, "You said, did I tease you?" ”

"Uh,...... No, what the young master said can't be wrong! ”

"Look, that's not what I said!" Ye Yu shrugged his shoulders and made an innocent expression to Qiulan.

Qiulan didn't argue with Ye Yu either, but put the warm wine on the table, squatting aside and quietly waiting for Master Ye's lamb skewers.

"Okay! Get! Come and try it! Ye Yu personally handed a few skewers of roasted mutton to Qiulan opposite.

Qiulan took the lamb skewer and smiled sweetly. Looking at the mutton oozing with the aroma of meat, she didn't care about how she ate, so she ate it undisguised in front of Ye Yu.

looked at Qiulan, who looked so ugly that his mouth was full of greasy, but Ye Yu smiled happily. It is this kind of undisguised sincerity that makes Ye Yu feel very enjoyable.

Seeing that Ye Yu had been staring at her, Qiulan seemed to be aware of her embarrassment, and then trotted and hid behind the door to wipe the greasy on her face.

"This lamb skewer is good, the man eats the hard Bangbang, the woman eats the watery, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the mouth is full of fragrance! Come, Kuan, you can also have a few skewers to try! ”

Ah Kuan was already a hungry wolf waiting to be fed on the side, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Yu. Now Ye Yu allowed him to eat mutton skewers, picked up the mutton skewers as if he had been amnestied, and devoured them, and did not forget to praise Ye Yu's cooking skills while eating.

Ye Yu picked up the mutton skewers, ate a bunch of mutton, and drank a few sips of warm wine, which is also a rare good thing in this deep winter season.

Bang bang bang!

Just as the three of them were eating mutton skewers around the fireplace, there was a knock on the door outside the closed county government gate. Now that it is the end of the year, whether it is a public official or a shop guy, it is time to go home and prepare for the New Year.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, it must be someone from the capital, as for which one came, Ye Yu naturally couldn't guess, so he motioned to Ah Kuan, who was full of oil, to open the door.

After a while, Ah Kuan led in a person, who was very burly, and his beard looked very energetic.

This person came to the front, and he saluted respectfully and said: "Subordinate Beitangmo, I have seen the son!" ”

"Are you ......" Ye Yu twisted his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and said in his heart that he didn't seem to have any impression of this young man.
