Zhong Miao was unlucky, and after the team of soldiers caught him, he was thrown directly into the prison. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, Zhang Ji still has some conscience and did not abandon him, otherwise he would be thrown into a prison like a tiger's wolf's den, and he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die. Of course, if Zhong Jian knew the cause and effect, he would definitely not be grateful to Zhang Ji, but he couldn't resent Zhang Ji, who told him to owe? However, Zhong Xuan met an acquaintance in the prison!
"Yuan Chang?" was taken into the prison, and as soon as he was put in the cell, Zhong Miao heard someone calling for his cousin.
"Who are you?" The man was unkempt, and it was no wonder that Zhong Xuan couldn't recognize him.
"Me!" The other party raised his scattered head, revealing a square face, who is it if he is not full of favor?
"Berning? Why are you here! Dumbfounded, Zhong Xuan's face was full of disbelief. Originally, Cao Ying asked Man Chong to send an envoy, just because he had a good relationship with Liu Ye and others, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to even detain him. However, since he saw Man Zhong in the prison, it means that he did not surrender!
"It's a long story!" Man Zhong said with a bitter face: "Champion Hou never wanted to join forces with the lord, just wanted to get a few beauties!" When he got his beauty, he immediately turned his face with me! ”
"The prime minister has long known that Liu Zhang may detain the envoy, so he sent you here, wanting to take advantage of your relationship with Liu Ye and Guo Jia, but I didn't expect... Alas..."Zhong Xuan sighed and said, "Now Liu Zhang is no longer the champion Hou!" ”
"What do you mean?" Man Pet has been locked up in prison and doesn't know much about things outside, so he has some doubts.
"Just yesterday, Liu Zhang has been named a general and the Duke of Qin!" Zhong Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but his words surprised Man.
"Liu Zhang was named a general, the Duke of Qin? Who sealed it? The prime minister won't be so stupid! Man Pet grabbed Zhong Xuan's arms very excitedly, and the smell of his body went straight to Zhong Xuan's nostrils. This is still Liu Ye and Guo Jia taking care of him, otherwise he can only be described as not like a human and a ghost like a ghost!
"Of course it's not the prime minister!" Zhong Xuan broke his hands and said helplessly; "The person who canonized Liu Zhang is Empress Dowager He!"
"It turned out to be her!" Man Zhong sighed, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Even if the Empress Dowager He canonizes her, there must be an emperor's edict." Liu Zhang does not have an emperor in his hands, and any edict is an edict, how can he risk the disapproval of the world? ”
Zhong Miao smiled bitterly: "There is no emperor? But people have a jade seal of the country! I have checked it, and the jade seal on the holy decree is real! ”
"Didn't you say that since the Ten Standing Servants rebelled, the jade seal of the country has disappeared? How could it be in Liu Zhang's hands? Could it be that the jade seal of the country was hidden by the Empress Dowager He? Manzhong looked puzzled, but unfortunately no one could answer these questions for him. For a while, the two were relatively speechless. Suddenly, Man Chong asked: "Yuan Chang, I was detained as an envoy, why were you also caught?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Zhong Xuan said: "I came to Chang'an to see the teacher and ask some questions, who expected to meet Zhang Ji as soon as I entered Chang'an City." After careful inquiry, I learned that the teacher lived in the inner city of Chang'an, and if he didn't have a certain identity, he couldn't enter at all! So, I was about to leave, but before I got out of the city gate, I was inexplicably arrested, and said that I was a annihilator! ”
"It's not that Zhang Ji sold you!" Man Pet is not like Zhong Xuan, he doesn't know Zhang Ji, so he is a genius!
"No, it won't!" Zhong Xuan frowned and said, "Since Zhang is my friend, how could he do such a thing?" ”
Full of favor said: "Most of the time you showed bad intentions, Zhang Ji betrayed you!" If you're just visiting a friend, he won't care. Did you listen to Liu Zhangjun's military situation and be noticed by Zhang Ji? ”
"This..." Zhong Xuan thought about it, his face became a little pale, and he nodded wordlessly.
"You!" Man Pet smiled bitterly: "That's right, you should come and accompany me!" ”
"Uh..." Zhong Xuan was speechless, he sat on the ground dejectedly and said, "I hope Liu Zhang will think of us as soon as possible!" ”
"I hope so!" Man's favored mentality is better than Zhong Xuan's, after all, he has been in prison for several months, if his mentality is not good, he would have collapsed long ago!
Liu Zhang's mansion in Chang'an has now been changed to the general's mansion. Liu Zhang, who was full of favor and Zhong Xuan, was sitting in the conference hall to meet Zhang Ji! In fact, earlier, when Liu Zhang heard Zhang Ji's name, he wanted to invite him into Chang'an as an official. But Zhang Ji, this kid is simply a donkey, not to mention Guo Jia and Jia Xu, even Liu Zhang's face was not given! However, fortunately, he still knew that Liu Zhang was the lord, and after making achievements, as soon as Liu Zhang summoned him, he immediately rushed to Chang'an!
In the conference hall, Zhang Ji had been kneeling for a quarter of an hour, but Liu Zhang still leaned back on the chair without saying a word, and slowly tasted tea. It's not that Liu Zhang is stingy, but the temper of his subordinates can't get used to it, otherwise everyone will say that they will not be subject to military orders abroad, wouldn't it be a headache.
"Lord, I know that I am wrong, please forgive me!" Looking at the expressionless Liu Zhang, the sweat on Zhang Ji's forehead was like a stream, and he hurriedly kowtowed a few times on the ground and said: "Although the subordinates are suspected of violating the order, it is also for the sake of the lord, otherwise the subordinates suddenly ascended to a high position, how can others obey?" Now that his subordinates are on the throne with merit, they can not only reflect the master's knowledge, but also seal the mouths of others! ”
"Do you still have to thank you?" Glancing at Zhang Ji, Liu Zhang said lightly: "Chang'an is the world of my father, who my father thinks is talented, he will appoint whom, who dares to say more?" Do you think that my father does not have this right? ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" Zhang lay on the ground, frightened and didn't dare to move. The so-called companion is like a companion, he doesn't know Liu Zhang's temper, for fear that Liu Zhang will be angry.
"That's it! Get up! Liu Zhang lightly pointed to the chair below and said, "Sit down!" ”
"It's... The subordinates don't dare! Zhang Ji bowed and said: "In front of the lord, how can there be a seat below, it is more comfortable to stand below!" ”
"Let you sit, you sit!" Liu Zhang said: "Let you enter Chang'an as an official, you have already disobeyed the order!" Now, my father asks you to sit, and you also want to disobey, is it a little unreasonable? ”
"Subordinates, thank you!" Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment and slowly sat down on the chair, but he only sat on half of his buttocks, looking trembling, and feeling more tired than standing!
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "You are a person, you have talent, but you are a little cautious and a little inferior!" If you are talented, you should be in charge, in the eyes of your father, will you let a waste take power? Don't focus on the background, as long as the father is a hero, don't ask where it comes from! ”
"The lesson of the lord is that his subordinates are ashamed!" Zhang Ji stood up again, and said with some shame: "My subordinates are from poor families, and they are often looked down upon by the children of the family, for fear that they will suffer such treatment when they come to Chang'an, so they want to make some achievements, so that the lord has to pay attention to it, but I didn't expect the lord's face, and I ask the lord to forgive me!" ”
"Forget it! Your sin is not great, and I will forgive you this time! Sit down and answer, don't be so inhibited, just chat between friends! Seeing Zhang Ji's restrained appearance, Liu Zhang sighed, if he didn't know that he was quite talented, Liu Zhang would really be disappointed!
"Thank you, lord!" Seeing the disappointment in Liu Zhang's eyes, Zhang Ji's arrogance was aroused, and he bowed his hand slightly and sat on the chair.
"That's what it sounds like!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "De Rong, you have been the first in the assessment in Xinfeng County for three consecutive times, and you must have a lot of ideas about the policy of your father, why don't we talk about it?" ”
"Yes!" Speaking of government affairs, Zhang Ji began to talk endlessly, and he explained the experience of governing in Xinfeng County to Liu Zhang one by one. Of course, in his explanation, he deliberately eliminated the omission, after all, he had just annoyed Liu Zhang, but he didn't want to make Liu Zhang unhappy again!
"De Jong, after all these years in power, you haven't found any omissions in the policy? If that's the case, I'm disappointed! Knowing Zhang Ji's thoughts, Liu Zhang stared at him with a smile, and saw him in a cold sweat!
In fact, many policies under Liu Zhang's rule were modified according to the policies of later generations, and some policies needed to be supplemented by other policies. Some auxiliary policies are not suitable for the current situation, and Liu Zhang did not implement them, so Zhang will definitely encounter many problems when he is in power.
If Zhang really didn't encounter a problem, he was either too capable or too incompetent! However, even Zhuge Liang is unlikely to complete the omissions in the policy, and Zhang Ji is even more impossible! Therefore, if Zhang is unable to find a loophole in the policy, it means that he is not talented enough, how can Liu Zhang not be disappointed?
"There are still loopholes!" As if Liu Zhang saw through it, Zhang Ji smiled a little embarrassedly: "In my administration, I found that the power of the lord and the official position of the family have been reduced a lot, but this has led to a shortage of talents!" Therefore, the biggest problem facing the lord is the discovery of talents! ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang stroked his palm and smiled: "De Rong can find out this problem, it can be seen that you are usually very attentive, my father wants you to be the assassin of any state, I don't know what you think?" ”
Zhang Ji asked, "Which state?" ”
"Liangzhou!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Now that the foreign tribes in Liangzhou have been peaceful, someone needs to govern them. Although Lu Boyan is also a talent, he is good at military strategy, and he is a little talented as a thorn in history! ”
"I am willing to stab the history of Liangzhou!" Zhang Ji asked: "Please also ask the lord to make it clear how to do it next!" ”
"Clever!" Liu Zhang said: "I want you to educate the people of Liangzhou, set up schools in every county, and try to make sure that as long as there are school-age children, they will go to school!" ”
Zhang Ji said: "Dare to ask the lord, what is a school-age child?" Children over the age of 10 are often domestic laborers, and it is obviously not appropriate for them to go out to study. And the gentleman's restraints, who should give them? The children of ordinary families can't even afford to eat, and they definitely can't afford to spend money on studying! There is also the cost of books, which is also a large expense, and most of the children of ordinary people can't afford it! ”
"What you said is right, Mr. will be invited by the government, and children who study don't need to be restrained! As for the cost of books..."Liu Zhang frowned and said: "If it is completely borne by the government, the expenses will be too great. Treat them separately according to your family situation! Children who are too poor will be paid for by the government for one year, and if they get good grades in the second year, they will continue to be funded by the government, and if they don't get good grades, let them go home! ”
"Lord, this is not enough to make the people give up production!" Although Zhang Ji was a little excited after listening to Liu Zhang's words, he quickly discovered the omission.
"Tempt them with profit!" Liu Zhangdao; "Make a scholarship, and if the student has outstanding grades, he will be rewarded with money! In the academy, at the end of each year, those who can take the top three will be rewarded with government funding! ”
"The Lord's plan is wonderful, and I am willing to take on this responsibility!" Zhang Ji's eyes were shining, how could he not see Liu Zhang's purpose? If he really lets him do it, it will be a thing that will last forever!
"Of course you'll do it!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My father has already given this order to the assassins of all states, and it can be said that all states are preparing for this matter!" After you succeed, my father will set up another Guozijian in Chang'an to gather talents from all over the world! When the time comes, are you still worried that there will be not enough talents? The children of the poor family have a chance to get ahead, and the big families will not be able to control the government! ”
"What the lord said is very true!" All the children of the poor family do not want to be attached to the powerful, Zhang is from the poor family, of course he wants to do something for the children of the poor family. In fact, it wasn't just Zhang Ji, but Guo Jia and Jia Xu almost cried happily after hearing Liu Zhang's meaning. The two patted their chests and promised that they would support Liu Zhang to complete this arduous and great undertaking.
"I'll leave it to you over there in Liangzhou!" Seeing that Zhang Ji's face was full of excitement, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "There are two things to remember: first, before the matter is not successful, you must not be too public. Second, Liangzhou Hu and Han are mixed, not only the Han people, but also those Hu people must be treated equally! Of course, if they recognize the rule of the Han Dynasty, I don't need to say more about these things! ”
"Rest assured, my subordinates will live up to your expectations!" Zhang Ji bowed to the end, his face full of determination.
"Okay, no need to be polite!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Today, you will arrest a person in prison, who is he?" ”
"Uh..."Zhang Ji stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "The lord doesn't ask, I almost forgot!" That man is my friend, a disciple of Cai Langzhong! ”
"Huh?" Liu Zhang asked, "Since he is my father-in-law's disciple, why did you arrest him?" ”
Zhang Ji said helplessly: "Lord, it's not that I'm jealous of this person's talent. In fact, he is Cao Ying's person! He said that he came to Chang'an to visit the teacher, and I was not prepared to embarrass him, but he took advantage of my drunkenness to take advantage of my army's secrets! Since he has done a fine job, how can I let him go and take him down! ”
"I see!" Liu Zhang nodded and said: "De Rong is worthy of being a capable minister under the command of this father, and he is doing a good job!" ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Although Yuan Chang is Cao Ying's person, please treat the lord kindly!" ”
"Yuan Chang? This name is so familiar! Liu Zhang touched his chin and said, "Isn't it Yingchuan Zhong Xiang Zhong Yuanchang?" ”
"Exactly..."Zhang Ji smiled: "Who else but him!" ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier, he is my father-in-law's beloved apprentice, invite him quickly!" Zhong Xuan is a famous person in history, and Wang Xizhi is called King Zhong, plus he is Cai Yong's beloved apprentice, how can Liu Zhang be lazy! Soon, Zhong Miao was invited out of prison!
