The emperor was furious again, and even the ministers and eunuchs in the imperial study did not repeat to persuade the 'holy lord to calm his anger', and then suddenly an old voice sounded coldly: "Your Majesty's royal drive to conquer the four seas and surrender, will definitely be able to win the championship 'Yipin', and promote the prestige of my Nanli country, this matter is promising, my emperor has seen thousands of miles, and the old minister sincerely admires." ”

It was the right prime minister who spoke.

The right prime minister's surname is Ban, so old that even his beard is about to fall off, and the gray-brown age spots almost cover his original appearance, since he entered the imperial study, he has never said a word, until he suddenly opened his mouth at this time. Everyone could tell that he was not saying good things.

However, Emperor Fenglong did not poke his finger and scold angrily, only glared at You Cheng fiercely, and then restrained his anger...... The right prime minister is too old, as early as before Feng Long's father was born, he was assisting Emperor Nanli, even if Feng Long was the son of heaven, he didn't dare to lose his temper with him at will.

Feng Long took a deep breath and sat down in front of the dragon book case again: "Then what should I do now, where to find someone?" ”

You Cheng stood in place, his eyes half-closed and unresponsive, as if he hadn't heard the emperor's question. Zuo Cheng suddenly knelt on the ground: "Enlighten my emperor, the ministers have words against their ears, like a fish in the throat, begging Your Majesty to forgive the ministers......"

"Forgive you for your innocence, and if you have something to say, say it."

Zuo Cheng said: "Nanli has made great efforts, but due to the limitation of the terrain, the country's strength is still slightly inferior to the other four countries. Since a hundred years ago, Dayan in the Northern Frontier and Tubo in the Western Regions have been eyeing me with a wolf's heart, and they only hate sending troops to be nameless. The Uighurs, on the other hand, are thousands of miles away from us, but they are also very important to the Southern Lisheji, because there are two countries in the Far North that can greatly contain the Yan and Tibetans. ”

Feng Long waved his hand: "Get up and continue." ”

Zuo Cheng thanked him and stood up: "Yan, Tu, Dog, Hui, none of them can be offended, Zou Cheng's 'Yipin' meeting, let them fight and rob, as long as we don't lose the national unity, don't ......"

As he spoke, Zuo Cheng's eyes flickered, obviously wording, Feng Long was not very taboo in speaking, and said generously: "It's good not to lose too embarrassing and ugly!" ”

The unpleasant words were said by the emperor, Zuo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The key to participating in this product meeting is not to lose the dignity and not to be looked down upon. That's why we have to choose people in the Kuitang, the people in the Kuitang are not only brave, but more importantly, they have been assisting the imperial court for a long time, and they know how to advance and retreat, which is very suitable. ”

Emperor Fenglong looked at the chopsticks, then at the lifeless Prime Minister Zuo, gritted his teeth and endured his anger, and frowned at the Zuo Cheng in front of the case: "After talking for a long time, why did you come back again, could it be that there is still a hall in your Zuo Cheng Mansion?!" ”

The emperor's words were heavy, and with a grunt, Prime Minister Zuo knelt back on the ground, first confessed his guilt repeatedly, and then expressed his loyalty. Feng Long's face was full of impatience: "You don't have Kuitang at home, don't mention the matter of Kuitang to me again, get up and continue, what should I do with this 'Yipin' candidate." ”

Zuo Cheng didn't get up this time, so he spoke on the ground: "Your Majesty Zeng Zhichen has read the national letter sent by Emperor Yan, although the other party's meaning can not be clearer, it is to compete in martial arts, but he only said in the national letter, 'select wizards and appreciate a product together'." ”

Feng Long probably understood what Zuo Cheng meant, and blinked his eyes: "Everyone understands that this is the championship of the competition, but they didn't say it directly in the national book...... Select the strangers and appreciate a product together. ”

Zuo Cheng nodded vigorously: "That's right." In Chen's humble opinion, the candidates for the 'first product' were still selected from the people, but they were not samurai, but they were all kinds of strange people, and the ten best were finally selected. Jing Tai's book says 'Qishi', so we will send the real Qishi, which is not a violation of the agreement......"

Emperor Fenglong thought thoughtfully: "Don't compete with them, these ten wizards sent by me have real skills, and they are enough to raise the prestige of our country when they are displayed, and no one dares to underestimate Nanli." ”

Zuo Cheng exhaled 'My Emperor Shengming', and added: "Since the selection is not a martial artist, naturally there is no pungent habit of drawing a sword at every turn, as long as you give detailed instructions in advance, there will be no chaos when you go to Zou Cheng to meet Emperor Jingtai." ”

Emperor Fenglong finally laughed: "It's best to find some truly capable people who know how to 'call the wind and rain', 'Qimen Dunjia', and 'Dream Secret Language', so that those four countries can understand that I am an outstanding person in Nanli, and there are countless talents." The sooner the better, let all the state capitals move, recruit capable people and different people, and serve the country! Let's all go down. ”

The five important ministers cleaned up their clothes and gave a salute to retire.

"Instead of selecting samurai, but capable people?" Song Yang was surprised, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What do you mean by a capable person?" ”

Yanziping is remote, and the news of the selection of talents approved by Emperor Fenglong's imperial pen has not yet reached here. The reason why Song Yang knew in advance was very simple, early this morning, Gu Zhaojun came to visit again, although he already knew that he would not choose a martial artist, he still brought a knife to Song Yang as promised, the blade is not light, the blade is sharp, and the condition of the blade is also good, but after all, it is still an ordinary product, and it is far from comparable with the dragon bird.

Gu Zhaojun shrugged his shoulders: "As long as you are outstanding, you can do it, such as singing Nanli first, or training dogs unmatched... There is no specific standard, and anyone can give it a try. As he spoke, he looked at Song Yang with a smile: "Do you have any special skills?" ”

Song Yang was also thinking in his heart, in addition to martial arts, what other skills could he have...... Medicine? Or with poison? The real doctor and poison master is You Taiyi, although Song Yang has learned good skills, but it is troublesome, these two lines of doorway practice opportunities are few, and the argument component is large, Song Yang is a typical 'practical school', when it comes to 'debate', just find a man from the pharmacy, you can talk about him.

Gu Zhaojun regretted: "It's too late to learn anything now." ”

Song Yang annoyed him: "It's time for breakfast, no one here feeds you, don't send it if you go slowly." ”

Gu Zhaojun laughed, threw down the sentence 'I really want to see, how do you get to Dayan Yipin' and turned to leave.

Song Yang closed the door, sat at the desk and bit the pen shaft, and wrote a few sentences on the paper from time to time...... If you don't use force, don't apply poison, don't treat diseases, how can you still count... Capable?

Ten days later, the news of the emperor's selection finally reached Yanziping, and the scale of this selection was unprecedented, and naturally there would be regulations and rules for the selection. Emperor Fenglong sent nine Qincha from Phoenix City to station in the capital of Kyushu under the jurisdiction of Nanli, and each set a date to openly screen talents.

There is no need for the recommendation of the township and county yamen, as long as the elders who feel that they have a skill can rush to the nearest state capital and present their skills to the Qincha, there will be a generous bounty for the selection, even if they are not selected, unless they are unreasonable, they will also be issued round-trip expenses. There is no quota in the hands of the Nine Roads Qincha, and he thinks that he can stay if he can use it, and take them to Phoenix City, and hand them over to the emperor to decide, and appoint ten 'Nanli Yipin'.

Qingyang Prefecture, to which Yanziping belongs, has settled in, and is scheduled to officially hold the 'selection of talents' meeting on the first day of the lunar month thirty days later.

These days, Song Yang frowned and meditated all the time, until the deadline was approaching, and then he cleaned up a little and prepared to go out. Unexpectedly, before he left, someone came to the door - Liu Erdu.

Liu Ersil didn't come empty-handed, he had a lizard on his shoulder and a horse in his hand.
