Zhao Pu already knew that the last time he saw the emperor was the emperor, he didn't sleep well all night, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but now seeing Li Guanqi and Yan Yuese, his heart settled down a little, and he kowtowed: "The little official is mortal with the naked eye, and he doesn't know the dragon's face, and he deserves to die for his crimes. "He doesn't have a title, so he doesn't dare to be a minister.

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and I had a very happy conversation with you last time, you are very good, I am very happy to meet you." ”

Zhao Pu didn't expect the emperor to praise him in person, and under the surging emotion, he didn't forget his identity, and said again: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the little official is a vulgar person, and it is a great honor to be abandoned by the emperor, and I dare not think about it anymore." ”

Li Guanqi was very satisfied with Zhao Pu's reply, nodded, and said: "Do you dare to think about it, that's your business, I don't need you, it's my business." You're prepared. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Zhao Pu was completely relieved at this time, Li Guanqi's words have already shown that he can officially enter the official career, for Zhao Pu, who has no formal education, this is basically unimaginable. The other officials kneeling on the ground were also envious and jealous when they saw this scene.

Li Guanqi said to Qin Minzhong again: "Get up." I'm here this time, there's nothing special, just just take a look, you better let them go their own way. As he spoke, he stepped into the main hall of the household department, sat down on the right seat, and said to Qin Minzhong, who came in, "Call Lu Yunhai in." ”

Although Li Guanqi ordered everyone to be busy, but he occupied the main hall of the household department, except for Shangshu Qin Minzhong, who would dare to go in casually? had to stand outside, Lu Yunhai was also among them, and was asking about the meeting between Zhao Pu and Li Guanqi, but saw that Qin Minzhong, the minister of the headquarters, ran out in a hurry, and went straight to himself and said: "The emperor told you to go in for questioning, follow me in." ”

"The emperor called me?" Lu Yunhai was stunned, he was just a small six-grade master, how could the emperor think of summoning him alone? didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he hurriedly followed Qin Minzhong in, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and shouted: "Lu Yunhai, the head of the Huainan Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Ministers, knock long live my emperor." ”

Li Guanqi accepted the salute steadily, stretched out his hand to take the tea handed over by Tang Mao, took a sip, put it beside him, and then said, "I have something to ask Lu Yunhai, you all go out." ”

Tang Mao was already the one who had comprehended Li Guanqi's temper, and when he heard Li Guanqi say this, he hurriedly pulled Qin Minzhong, retreated with everyone, and closed the door smoothly.

After everyone went out, Li Guanqi said to Lu Yunhai seemingly casually: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Sit down." Li Guanqi said casually again.

"I don't dare."

"I let you sit and sit, what dare or not?" Li Guanqi said a little impatiently.

"Yes. Thank the emperor for the seat. Lu Yunhai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Guanqi's gourd, so he had to sit down according to the principle of what the emperor said he would do.

Li Guanqi took a closer look at this revolutionary in the period of the former emperor, and saw that he was wearing a set of crumpled cyan official robes, showing his unkempt appearance; A square front hole with no beard cut, showing that it does not pay attention to the appearance; Only a pair of bright and agile eyes, revealing the shrewdness of speculation.

To be honest, seeing Lu Yunhai like this, Li Guanqi's disappointment in his heart increased by another point, he understood that in this era, there are many talented people who like to behave uninhibitedly and unkempt, but how can a person who doesn't even pay attention to his own image expect others to reuse you? But after all, Lu Yunhai is a person who dares to compare himself to Mencius, and it is a pity not to use it, after thinking about it, Li Guanqi still opened his mouth and said: "I heard that you compare yourself to Mencius, but is there such a thing?" ”

Lu Yunhai used Mencius as a self-metaphor, in addition to his super high attainments in scriptures, he also had the intention of raising his reputation in order to hope that he would be noticed by the emperor one day, and he had already prepared how to answer, and now seeing that Li Guanqi really asked about it, he replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." ”

"Well, since you do compare yourself to Mencius. Then I ask you, what do you think of the current trend in the world? Li Guanqi deliberately made it difficult.

Lu Yunhai thought that the emperor would ask himself what ability he dared to compare himself with Mencius, and he had already thought about it and answered, but he didn't expect Li Guanqi to mention this stubble at all, and directly asked the general trend of the world, can the general trend of the world be casually discussed with a six-grade petty official?

Lu Yunhai immediately realized that his opportunity had come, because he was indeed a person with real talent and learning, not a person who deceived the world and stole fame, but he didn't know what kind of master the young emperor in front of him was, so he carefully said what he had always wanted to say: "There are many hidden dangers, and it is not the time to keep it." ”

"Oh, the hidden dangers? What are the hidden dangers? Li Guanqi was not surprised at Lu Yunhai's answer.

Lu Yunhai originally wanted to calm the young emperor first with a sentence of hidden dangers, but he didn't expect Li Guanqi to be like him at all, and he couldn't help but secretly shout in his heart, this master has the spirit of an emperor.

At that moment, Lu Yunhai no longer pretended to be a posture, and said Kankan: "The minister thinks that this dynasty has the following hidden dangers.

One is said to be conformist and decadent, but does not know how to be flexible;

Second, it is said that gentlemen and villains live together in the court, and it is difficult for the emperor to distinguish between good and evil;

Third, it is said that the people of the world are recited with poems, and there is no way to cultivate them in schools;

Fourth, it is said that the position of the imperial court is described by the name of the department, and there is no system for officials to evaluate their performance;

Fifth, it is said that the transfer of officials is too frequent, and it is difficult to evaluate the actual performance;

Sixth, the peasants are heavily forced to work, resulting in the lack of water conservancy in farmland;

Seventh, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and scoundrels in the army, and there is no combat effectiveness;

Eighth, the finances are chaotic, although the emperor is frugal and thrifty, the people are not rich. ”

Li Guanqi quietly listened to Lu Yunhai's words, and then he regained his attention to this raunchy middle-aged man, because it is indeed not ordinary people who can see these shortcomings in this era, and even he who has crossed over has not thought of so many for a while. It seems that this Lu Yunhai is indeed available.

After a while, Li Guanqi asked again: "How long have you been preparing for these words?" ”

Lu Yunhai found that the young emperor in front of him was really different from others, and after listening to his statement, he should be very eager to ask for a solution, I really don't know if he is the elusive emperor or he didn't listen to it at all. I had to answer honestly again: "Since entering the career, the minister has been thinking about the way to strengthen the country all the time, and these are what the minister has been thinking about for more than ten years. ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "This is honest. I don't believe you came up with those words. ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Yunhai took the opportunity to pat Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi waved his hand and said: "Shengming is not Shengming, it is not based on what others say. Since you have discovered so many hidden dangers in this dynasty, I think there is a solution. ”

Lu Yunhai said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there are some." ”

"Let's talk about it." Li Guanqi picked up the teacup again.
