Chapter 172: Into the Middle

"The fourth prince of Chu State is the regent as a prisoner and did not ascend the throne?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the information from the Chu State, it is indeed like this, and the payment on the edict of the Chu State used by the Chu State Envoy is also his Great Chu Regent, not his Great Chu Emperor."

When the prince heard this, he smiled, turned his head to look at Ning Fangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites beside him, and said:

"Elder Ning, what do you think the fourth prince of the Chu State means?"

Obviously, he had defeated several other princes who had seized the throne, and he had also received the support of several great nobles with pillars in the Chu State, but he did not succeed to the throne, but renamed himself a prison state.

In fact, it has been said since ancient times that we attach importance to our opponents tactically and despise them strategically.

Especially at the level of countries, it is also a kind of political correctness to regard the other party as a "person of fame and fortune".

Not to mention that now Dayan, although it was defeated once in the first battle of Wangjiang, but in the end it still achieved the final victory, over the past few years, a series of foreign victories, not to mention the inflated pride of the people of Dayan, is these real court bull ears, but also self-confidence and obviousness.

When commenting on the officials or princes and ministers of other countries, they will naturally carry a kind of inertia of looking down on the superiors.

Of course, how to analyze or how to analyze, self-confidence is self-confidence, but I am not naΓ―ve to think that the other party is really a fool.

"Prince, according to the old minister, Xu is the Qingluan army of the Chu State was trapped in Yupan City, and after my Dayan Iron Cavalry expelled the savages, he unified the land of the Three Jins, which made the fourth prince of the Chu State lose the opportunity to calmly arrange after seizing the throne.

If you don't succeed to the throne and first profess yourself as a prisoner, you also want to unite and integrate the major forces in the country, and deal with the pressure from my Dayan first. ”

The prince nodded, he thought the same thing.

Put that position, don't you rush to sit on it, don't you want to? Definitely not.

As the crown prince of a country, no one knows better than him how terrifying the attraction of that dragon chair is.

At this time, Xu Guanghuai, the head of the household, said:

"Actually, I didn't rush to succeed to the throne, I think it was because the speed of our Yan army's march and the results achieved exceeded what he originally expected.

Prince, Ning Lao, for now, we still have to finalize the details of these letters of state and treaties as early as possible. ”

The letter of state was sent by the State of Chu.

Regardless of whether the fourth prince was the Chu Emperor or the regent of the Prison State, it was impossible for him to let the 40,000 Qingluan army starve to death in Yupan City.

But it is clear that he did not intend to send a large army for another expedition, but hoped to seek a decent end in the form of peace talks.

The conditions offered by the State of Chu are not unrich, first of all, the Zhennan Pass in the hands of the Situ family will be returned to the Yan State;

At the same time, the state of Chu will recognize the jurisprudence of Dayan's rule over the land of the Three Jins;

Here are the first two,

This is an account of the previous war.

Next, there are two more.

First, the two countries of Yan and Chu will sign an alliance;

The regent of Chu recalled in his letter that the Ji family and the Xiong family, a Yan Hou and a Chu Hou, were both robes who were ordered by the Great Summer Prince to expand their territory, and they were originally a family with each other.

Therefore, from now on, the two sides will help each other, and when the Yan State encounters a barbarian threat, the Chu State will help; When the state of Chu encountered the threat of Shanyue, the state of Yan came to the rescue.

It's a,

Not to mention that in the past hundred years, Dayan has beaten the barbarians to the point that they have completely lost their temper, and it is said that the Shanyue tribes on the Chu side have all been expelled by the Chu people to the real poor mountains and bad waters, and it is estimated that they are all about to be wiped out.

There are no enemies on either side, what are you still watching and helping each other?

Let's just say that one day the mountains suddenly rose, and the barbarians also rose, one in the westernmost part of Dayan, and the other in the southernmost part of the Chu State, is it too late to help each other?

Of course, the Yan people know that this is, and the Chu people must also know it, so according to diplomatic customs, after the, there will definitely be really useful words.

That is the second one, Yan Chu will become a "country of brothers".

Because the regent of Chu has not yet succeeded to the throne, he wants to respect the late emperor of Chu and Emperor Yan as "brothers", who is older and who is younger, it doesn't matter if he talks about age or national strength, he directly skipped this controversy, anyway, the regent of Chu can recognize Emperor Yan as "uncle".

These are the four major articles,

Below, there's a whole bunch of trivial details.

For example, the state of Chu will compensate the Yan state for grain, wealth, etc., in order to appease the anger of the Yan state, and is willing to follow the original Qianguo and submit annual coins to the Yan state.

The envoy of the State of Chu, surnamed Jing, called Jingyang, is a person of the Jing family, a great nobleman of the State of Chu, and is a close confidant of the regent of the State of Chu.

In line with the principle of reciprocity, a person sent by the "nephew emperor" naturally has to be handed over to the next generation to deal with, so Emperor Yan handed over this matter to the crown prince.

The crown prince is responsible for leading the relevant officials to negotiate, in order to get the best result of a Yan country.

Xu Guanghuai, who is the head of the household department, attaches great importance to this peace talks, Yan Guo needs to recuperate, and change with the people, if he can reach an alliance with Chu State, no matter whether this covenant is valid or not, at least it can maintain peace for five years, right?

If there is no war for five years, Yandi can further develop, Jindi can relatively recover some vitality, and the money and food will be able to calm down.

The prince put down the case in his hand, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said:

"Master Mao, do you think that my Dayan battle can continue to fight?"

Although the conditions given by the Chu State are very generous, just letting the nearly 40,000 Qingluan troops go back like this, not to mention a series of problems that may be caused by this, even from the perspective of personal likes and dislikes, I feel that it is a little unpleasant.

Mao Mingcai, the secretary of the military department, got up and replied:

"Back to the prince's words, now, the army of the Three Jin Dynasty under the jurisdiction of the King of Jingnan is exhausted, and he is actually ready for a full-scale war with the Chu State, but ........."

The prince nodded and said:

"Is it better not to fight or not to fight?"

"The minister's meaning is indeed like this, the soldiers are tired, this battle, and if it continues, it will be a kind of torment for the country and the army.

The king of Jingnan has always paid attention to the use of soldiers, and he has always paid attention to not moving like a mountain, and moving is like a thunderbolt.

Now, putting on this posture to suppress people with power is actually not the style of King Jingnan's use of troops, thinking about it, King Jingnan also knows that stopping here is the most beneficial ending for my Dayan. ”

"Lone knows, Ning Lao, the specifications of the national letter and some other details, you still need to worry more, don't make any mistakes in the etiquette, in addition, the Honglu Temple will inform the envoys of the Qianguo, they owe almost three years of coins."

As he spoke, the prince looked at Xu Guanghuai, the head of the household,

"The Qianguo not only has to make up the arrears of the previous three years, but at the same time, the specific amount needs to be revised, at least, not lower than that of the Chu people.

Let's do two things together. ”

"The ministers receive orders."

"The ministers receive orders."

Before the start of the Three Kingdoms War, in fact, the border between Yan and Qianguo was already very tense, so that year's coins, Qianguo did not send over, and then the war started, the Yan army invaded Qianguo, and Qianguo was embarrassed to deal with it, and after that time, the two countries have actually been in a state of "war".

Although after the Yan people withdrew their troops, the Qianren did not think about what to do in the north, and the two countries quickly returned to the previous "calm", but the state of "war" has not been lifted.

Now, taking the opportunity of negotiating peace with the Chu people, we have also brought in the Qianguo, and everyone has talked together, and by the way, the peace treaty has been signed again.

Dayan needs to recuperate, so take this opportunity, anyway, knocking on a bamboo pole is knocking, knocking two is also knocking, what is given for nothing, don't want it in vain.

This is not Emperor Yan's idea, this is the prince's idea, and it can also be seen from this that the prince himself has the courage and ability.

"By the way, Lord Xu, how is the sixth brother in your household department recently?"

His sixth brother was sent by his father to watch the wind and the household, nominally, watching the wind, it was just an errand to learn and understand.

But this errand, coupled with his status as a prince, is really big or small.

And the household department is Xu Guanghuai's territory.

In the prince's opinion, this Hubu Shangshu is not his own person, but there is a lot of tacit understanding between the two sides.

Especially in the matter of stopping the cultivation of Ge, the two have the same concept.

Although it is said that forgetting the war will be dangerous, but the belligerent will be chaotic, and the Yan country is now in the general trend, so it should be managed well, and the situation will be transformed into reality, in order to be stable.

"Back to the prince, His Royal Highness the Sixth is in the household these days, but he is also leisurely, and he drinks and has fun with his colleagues all day long."

When the prince heard this, he shook his head and said:

"The sixth brother is young and idle, and I, who is an elder brother, have to ask Lord Xu to take care of me a lot."

Saying,

The prince got up and bowed down to Xu Guanghuai;

Xu Guanghuai immediately got up and knelt respectfully.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ning Fang Sheng stroked his long beard and smiled,

He is satisfied with the prince, has the spirit of a prince, and also has the appearance of a future king;

Mao Mingcai did not move, but silently reopened a case.

Is it really brotherhood?

Not really.

The eldest prince will be defeated and will return, and there will be rumors that he will marry the barbarian princess, and from then on everything is possible;

The Three Princes Lake Heart Pavilion bathes in the wind in spring, listens to thunder in summer, watches leaves in autumn, and appreciates snow in winter;

In his life, there is only one pavilion left, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter over and over again.

The decline of the Deng family, the four princes lost their biggest arm help, His Majesty's military reform, swept away the pattern of the army, and the four princes at this time were already kites with broken wings;

The five princes don't like to go out, and they like to do the carpenter's work at home, and they have been punished by His Majesty several times for this, but they still do their own thing;

The Seven Princes are too small, and Dayan is not a pattern of declining monarchs and strong ministers, so it is difficult for the Seventh Princes to touch that position.

After some calculations,

Except for an idle six princes who have recently popped up to view the wind and households,

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no opponent.

There has never been a way out in the battle for succession, and even the slightest sign of it will be regarded as a great sin when it is finally liquidated.

Who can sit in the position of a Shangshu, which one is not a human spirit who has been killed in the officialdom?

It was Xu Guanghuai and Xu Shangshu, who were so moved that he knelt down to return the salute, how could he not know the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince's heart?

However, this is the pattern, this is the level;

If it's fake, play with it a lot, and you can play it real.

The prince's introverted but grandiose feeling is the most recognized by these old ministers.

It's really okay to have a country like this.

At their level, it is said that it is who to take refuge in, whose dog is it, it is really not necessary, except for Emperor Yan, no one can pinch them like this, so what everyone values more is the suitability of political opinions.

If your ideas are similar to mine, then I will support you.

And it will naturally stand by your side, echo you, and then press your opponent down.

The meaning of "care" of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, those who should understand it will naturally understand.

After both parties are seated again,

Ning Fangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that you held a banquet in the East Palace the day before yesterday to entertain the Jinshi of the previous year?"

The crown prince responded:

"If you go back to Ning Lao, it's true."

In the first imperial examination of Sui Dayan, the prince was from the office, and the prince was not the prince at that time;

In the spring of this year, His Majesty issued an edict, which was presided over by the crown prince.

For two years, the prince of the country will sit on the name of the master of the world, so to speak, he was ordered to lift the dragon gate, so that the scholars of the cold gate can jump up the imperial steps.

Last year's imperial examination, which was presided over by Ning Fangsheng himself, supplemented by the prince, he is already old, and it is his wish now to be able to do more things for the poor students of Dayan in literary affairs.

Fortunately, this prince's mind in this regard is very consistent with himself.

"Elder Ning, now that my Dayan country is thriving, I need these students to fill my Dayan court, consolidate my Dayan roots, be lonely, and set up a banquet to entertain them, just ask about the current situation as encouragement."

Emperor Yan's spirit, there, he will not care about his crown prince to make friends with civil officials and to recruit these young officials who have just entered the court.

Therefore, the prince set up a banquet clearly, and when he mentioned this matter, he was also calm.

If it were another emperor, the crown prince would definitely not be like this, and he would not dare to do this.

After the horse stepped on the gate valve, there was a very serious "official panic" in the court of Yan State, although the promotion of officials into the official has solved some urgent needs, but it is not a long-term method after all.

And the opening of the imperial examination and taking the poor door into the official can be regarded as the fundamental policy to eradicate the gate valve.

Because of this, the Jinshi of last year, let alone the parents of the same place, and those who stayed in Beijing quickly rose to the top among the six departments.

Ability is one thing, in fact, the most important thing is to support them, in line with the current political trend.

Ning Fangsheng nodded with a smile and said:

"The prince has a heart."

"Ning Lao is serious, this is what Lone should do."

Saying,

The prince flicked his wrist and ordered Li Yinglian beside him to go to the imperial dining room to urge supper.

The sooner the covenant is finalized, the better, so it will inevitably have to stay up all night.

Tired is tired,

But there's also something fulfilling.

The prince's gaze looked around slightly,

Sit in this position,

As long as I don't make mistakes, what can you do to me?

In the mind of the prince,

I still remember that picture,

In that picture,

He and his eldest brother knelt on the ground and were reprimanded by their father,

The youngest sixth brother was held by his father and sat on his lap;

On that day, the words that his father said are still like a thorn in the prince's heart:

"You, you, that's it, it's okay, there's a little six like me."

JI Chengjue,

You don't have a chance,

Not at all.

……

"Do you think you still have a chance?"

The county lord leaned on the steps of the gazebo, and asked Ji Chengjue who was standing in front of her while throwing stones into the pond.

"Sister, I just came in here, don't you say to get me a cup of tea to eat, come up and ask such a heart-wrenching question, isn't it?"

Ji Chengjue smiled and sat down on the steps opposite the county lord, but deliberately did not answer the question.

The lord stretches out his legs,

kicked the little six sons,

She didn't do much to retract,

Xiao Liuzi was kicked and gasped.

"Don't pretend, it's already broken, and it's not as natural as before to pretend, I'm curious, why did you suddenly put it down after pretending to be an idle waste prince for so many years?"

"What did I load, me?"

"In front of me, be honest with me, I haven't married your second brother yet, let's still talk normally now."

"What's the matter, shouldn't you be closer after you become my sister-in-law?"

"Close to you ghost, believe it or not, the day after you get married, I will let the Zhenbei army outside the city enter your mansion and arrest you?"

"Sister, are you going to rebel?"

"A little too aggressive?"

"That's it."

"Okay, then after you get married, call you to come to the East Palace, and I will say that you want to despise me, and let Uncle Seven cut you down."

Uncle Seven happened to walk in, handed Ji Chengjue a cup of hot tea, and when he heard the words, he just smiled.

Ji Chengjue subconsciously reached out and touched his neck.

He knew that the woman in front of him looked beautiful and moving, but that heart should be ruthless, it was really ruthless.

The surname Zheng still remembers the incident when he was almost thrown into the desert by this woman as fodder.

"Cheng Jue thinks that since he was a child, he has been very respectful to his sister, and during the New Year's holidays, the gifts have never been missing, it stands to reason that he ........."

The county lord said "hehe",

"Dad once said that you are most like Your Majesty."

"........." Ji Chengjue.

"What's the matter, when I marry your second brother and help your second brother get rid of a threat, isn't it very appropriate to be a wife?"

husband and wife as one,

You are a threat to my husband's throne,

Then I'll get rid of you.

Ji Chengjue nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's really the case." ”

"Don't blame the old lady for being unkind, since the spies of the Zhenbei Army found out that you actually had arrangements outside my Hou Mansion a few years ago, the old lady knew that you were different from the fifth child.

If you pretend, keep pretending, it's nothing, it's a big deal to stare at you a little more in the future, over the years, the filial piety of so many rare things, can always buy you a life, right?

But I don't know what's wrong, the old people often say that eating lard is easy to do dizzy things;

Yo

Isn't

In the end, he married the daughter of the butcher's family, and this lard seems to be really not lacking. ”

When Ji Chengjue heard this, he shook his head and smiled,

Road:

"It's not because of women."

"Don't say the next sentence yet, it's easy to make me gag."

"Forehead ........."

Ji Chengjue was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, nodded and said:

"It's really because of men."

"It seems that my Dayan has laid down the Jin land, and the wind from the Jin land has really blown in."

"That person's sister also recognizes, Zheng Fan."

Hearing the name "Zheng Fan", the county lord beat the stones in his hand out with a little force, and a few floats flew out on the water.

"My mother doesn't like this name, every time I hear it, I feel a hot pain on my face."

Obviously, she was the first to know Zheng Fan, before she met her, Zheng Fan didn't even have an official body, just a requisitioned man.

I once asked him if he wanted to go to the Li family to be a familyman.

Originally, I thought that kid didn't know what the Li family's family and the family of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei meant, so he stupidly chose the temporary official position of the captain of the merchant school.

But judging from what this kid did afterwards, he was by no means a dull person, in other words, he did it on purpose.

This is actually nothing, the county lord of Beihou Mansion in the dignified town, where would he spend so much patience on a person from a people's background.

However, after that, with its rise step by step, after being appreciated by the Marquis of Jingnan, it was even more out of control, and after only a few years of hard work, he had actually achieved the position of the chief soldier of the Snow Customs from the people, and His Majesty gave him the title of Uncle Hirano.

Therefore, it's not that people don't know what it means to be a family member in Zhenbei Houfu, but that people's morale is high, and it is not uncommon to use this identity with the nature of a little domestic slave to do the step of advancement.

The better Zheng Fan is, the bigger the official does, and the more he will get his military exploits.

The matter of the county lord's "missing talent" will be mentioned more and more.

Especially Zheng Fan, a person from Beifeng County, actually became the chief soldier in the Jingnan Army, and he will always ask: Why?

And then

The county lord knew that he was going to be taken out again to be "whipped".

What women have long hair and short knowledge, what have eyes and no beads, in short, any basin can be buckled on their heads.

What frustrated her the most was that she couldn't tell what she was doing, and she couldn't tell it.

At the beginning, my own Lao Tzu wanted this person, and wanted to dig people back from Jingnanhou's hands, but he still didn't succeed.

But at that time, I was actually a matter of one sentence.

"This bastard thing is indeed a powerful character, and the old lady really looked away at that time."

Saying,

The county lord looked at Ji Chengjue again and said with a smile:

"Everyone in the world knows that he Zheng Fan is you, the sixth master, and you gave it up, what's the matter............ Oh, I see.

It's because I see that the little urge I once confessed is now a general soldier, and I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid that if I put it on again, the chain will be broken, right? ”

"There's no chain that doesn't have a chain, I didn't treat him as a dog, he was a friend. Besides, with that kid's temperament, if he really wants to be a dog, why did he refuse you in the first place?

This is called that people who have the ability will naturally have a temper.

As for this time, others don't know that you still don't know, it was because the treasury was about to be unable to hold on, and my father remembered me, the son who had been in the horns earlier, and brought me up and gave him money and grain to enrich the treasury. ”

"Come on, let's open the skylight and say something, I, I don't believe it."

"Alas, I really didn't expect that you value me so much, sister."

When the county lord heard this, he laughed,

Road:

"The sister-in-law of ordinary people, that is the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, the royal sister-in-law, I wish that all my brother-in-law would die early."

It's very taboo to say this, but this is Xiyuan, and at the same time, with her identity, if she says this kind of thing, even if it reaches the ears of Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan will probably laugh it off.

"Sister's words are wrong, there are a lot of stories about the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, but in fact, in this folk, there are also many intrigues between concubines and even life and death, this is the norm."

"Okay, okay, what are you doing here with me?"

"I'll borrow something from you."

"What's that?"

"A sword."

The county lord looked at the seventh uncle who was on the side.

Ji Chengjue immediately said:

"Not this one."

The county lord has two swords by his side at this time, one is the seventh uncle who has grown up with him since he was a child and protected him, and the other is in the camp outside the capital.

One of the four great swordsmen in the world...... Li Liangshen.

"Don't say that the sword is not mine, even if it is mine, I can't lend it."

Ji Chengjue stood up and patted his trouser leg,

Road:

"So, just to squeak with you."

The county lord's eyes immediately narrowed,

Road:

"What a big breath."

Ji Chengjue nodded, but calmly admitted it, and then said:

"Sister, aren't you still married to my second brother, let's at least be friends for now?"

"The battle is over, and I'm almost there."

Ji Chengjue smashed his mouth and nodded thoughtfully.

"Then I, the little sixth son, will I leave first?"

"No."

Ji Chengjue walked out of the West Garden, and at the gate of the West Garden, he glanced back at the plaque.

"Hehe......"

The carriage prepared by Father-in-law Zhang was outside, and Ji Chengjue got into the carriage.

The carriage was moving, and the carriage was swaying, and Ji Chengjue's body was also swaying together.

"He said that after he became my sister-in-law, he would kill me."

Ji Chengjue shook his head helplessly,

muttered to himself:

"No matter how smart you are, after all, she is a girl who has been spoiled by her family."

To paraphrase a sentence that the surname Zheng once said, the family growth environment is different.

"Tut-tut........."

Ji Chengjue tasted the product,

found that Zheng Fan said a lot of things before, and in retrospect, he could always smash it with a different taste.

Zhang Gong, who was driving, said openly:

"Master, shall we go directly?"

"Go directly, and in the future, let's be tougher."

Zhang Gonggong immediately said:

"The master laughed, the slave can't be hard even if he wants to."

"Hahaha."

"Master, I heard that these days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very busy with the ministers of the envoy of Chu to submit the credentials."

"Let him go blindly."

The carriage stopped at the door of a restaurant.

This is a very high-grade restaurant in Beijing, named "Zhuangyuan Building".

It was opened six years ago,

But then,

Dayan is still full of gate valves, and there is no imperial examination, so naturally there is no champion.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the capital, this champion building is the atmosphere of the people of the Qianguo who have learned.

On weekdays, business has been very average, and it can even be said that it is making money at a loss.

But with the beginning of the imperial examination of Yan Guo, last year, Yan Guo also had its own champion, Bangyan and Tanhua, which had been open for several years, and suddenly became popular, and the guests were endless.

Ji Chengjue got out of the carriage and walked into it.

"Yo, guest officer, are you staying in a hotel or eating?"

"My friend is above, okay, you can get busy, you don't need to say hello."

After sending away Xiao Er, Ji Chengjue walked up the stairs by himself.

The upstairs are all boxes, among which there are three boxes in the center of the position, from the opening of the champion building, there are signs, non-"Jinshi" is not allowed to start.

At that time, the business of Zhuangyuanlou was not good, but this matter also spread, and many people said that the boss was dizzy and cleaned up these jokes.

But with the opening of the imperial examination, after the first batch of new science and technology scholars were released, the three boxes in the champion building were basically not broken.

In the first two months after the list was released, those Jinshi masters often came to start the game, and after that, when other businessmen or nobles wanted to come to make friends with them, they would also deliberately choose to start the game in the champion building.

Ji Chengjue walked to the door of the first-class box, and did not rush in, but heard the sound of talking inside.

It seems that because Ji Chengjue has stayed here for too long, a group of people who are guarding the corner of the second floor who should be the next person began to walk here.

Father-in-law Zhang, who had been following Ji Chengjue, also took the initiative to walk towards them at this time, lowered his voice, and said:

"The miscellaneous family wants to see which eyeless thing dares to break my master's Yaxing."

In this capital, who are the people who can use eunuchs?

These little people, you look at me, I look at you, I really don't dare to come here again.

At this time, there was already a quarrel in the box.

"Hu Zhengfang, didn't you give me a post, saying that today is your thirtieth birthday wine, and I am invited to get together."

"It's not me, besides, two months before my thirtieth birthday, the battle situation on the front line is unclear at that time, how dare I do this.

I received Liu Chucai's post, saying that I had just accepted a concubine the day before yesterday and invited me to come to the party. ”

"You just accepted a concubine, how could the Hedong lion in my family let me take a concubine, I received a post from Lao Qin, saying that he had brought some good wine, let me come over and taste it together."

In a room, it was all the old Jinshi master.

Because they are the first Jinshi in Yan Kingdom, and most of them are from poor families, the relationship between them is very close.

Not to mention the exile from Beijing for the time being, those of them who stayed in Beijing and were scattered in various yamen, they would naturally instinctively huddle together.

The literati and doctors on the Qianguo side have already completed a hundred years of work, and they here in Yanguo have just begun, especially in the officialdom right now, they are still very weak and need to unite even more.

"So, what the hell is going on, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, so who invited us here?"

"yes, who the hell is it?"

Ji Chengjue, who had been standing at the door and listening for a while, pushed open the door at this time and walked in.

For a while, the eyes of more than a dozen Jinshi masters inside all fell on him.

Not surprisingly, no one knew him.

First, the six princes have always been absurd, ignoring government affairs and military affairs;

Second, for more than half a year, he has been staying in Nan'an County, and there is nowhere to brush his face if he wants to.

Ji Chengjue didn't treat himself as an outsider, stretched out his finger and pointed to the table on the wine table, and said:

"The food is served, the wine is hot, what's the matter, you don't need it?"

Ji Chengjue walked to the position of the first seat, and did not rush to sit down, but reached out and gently patted the back of the chair.

"Dare to ask where does the Venerable Driver come from?"

"But the Honorable Driver has deceived us so far?"

"What does this boy mean?"

A group of questioning voices slammed in.

Everyone understands, obviously, it is the young man in front of him who deceived himself and others.

They are not afraid, after all, everyone has an official body, and on weekdays, it is not that they have not been in contact with any princes and magnates.

Ji Chengjue didn't rush to answer,

Instead, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the tall and thin man standing across from him,

Road:

"You are Liu Chucai, Mrs. Zun's illness, is it better, that illness can be taken care of, don't be cold, don't be sloppy.

Don't look at the winter days that have passed, but when you socialize in winter and spring, it is the time when you are most likely to relapse. ”

Liu Chucai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and his face showed disbelief.

His wife's illness was left by overwork in order to provide for his own study, at that time, almost everyone was gone, and he had no money to get medicine, and he was about to take some books in the house and sell them for some silver to ask the doctor to get some medicine, but he didn't expect the owner of the book to confiscate his books, but gave him a sum of silver, and helped him invite the best doctor in the county to treat his wife.

When he returned to his hometown from high school last year, he wanted to thank his former benefactor in person, but he never thought that the Shuxuan had been closed, and the boss was nowhere to be found.

Therefore, usually his friends laugh at him for being afraid of guilt, but in fact, it is because he feels guilty about his wife in his heart, even if he is now developed, he is unwilling to take a concubine.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his finger and pointed at the slightly short and fat man again, and said:

"Hu Zhengfang, it's only been a few years, and I've gained so much weight, I think when I was falsely accused and imprisoned, I was as thin as a skinny bone, right?"

Hu Zhengfang's face also showed a look of shock.

"Qin Xiaosheng, Ling Zun is okay now? The local arishi didn't go to trouble again, did he? It has long been divided into several generations, and because of the injury and some high-grade fertile land, it was stared at as the children of the Qin family. ”

Qin Xiaosheng's face also showed a look of shock.

"You ............"

"By the way, and your ............"

"Ah, you're ............"

"Hahaha, you kid, I want to ............ at the beginning"

Ji Chengjue pointed over one by one, greeted them one by one, and said them one by one.

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became solemn.

No one dared to shout loudly, let alone question.

After saying it in one circle,

Everyone clicked and said it.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand, personally poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip.

"I heard that the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited all the Jinshi who stayed in Beijing to the East Palace for a banquet, how about it, the wine in the East Palace, is it delicious?"

No one dared to answer, firstly, because it was about the prince, and on the other hand, because everyone had not recovered from the shock.

"What's the matter, you are all my Dayan leaders, my Dayan's future, my Dayan's pillars, you have made gorgeous articles, but you can't speak?"

Then

Liu Chucai licked his lips and said to Ji Chengjue:

"Dare to ask...... Dare to ask what is sacred. ”

Ji Chengjue groaned slightly,

smiled,

While pouring himself another glass of wine, he said slowly:

"Today's saint is a great monarch, stepping on the door, taking materials for the country, and opening the promotion ladder for the cold door;

His Majesty's wish is to hope that my great Yan talent can ignore the suspicion of the family, not be trapped by blood, and those who are talented should work for the country in the temple, and be a herdsman in a good place.

You are waiting for the first batch, and when the spring season begins, there will be a second batch immediately.

Wait, it's the future of my Dayan.

I

JI Chengjue,

Today, His Majesty's sixth son, I would like to give you a toast here! ”

The Six Princes?

Is he the Sixth Prince?

Ji Chengjue didn't wait for these shocked Jinshi masters to react, so he drank all the water and wine in the cup by himself.

At this moment, in his mind, the words that the county lord had said to him when he was in the West Garden came to him again.

She said that as long as she became the crown princess, she would inevitably get rid of herself.

Ji Chengjue sighed,

Tilt your head,

At that time, he

I really want to reply:

If it weren't for my father's deliberate intention not to put me on the plate,

What do you think is the matter with you and your husband?

You only saw that my father deliberately suppressed me, suppressed me to the point of being out of breath, and made me suffer a lot of embarrassment;

But I don't really think about it,

Father is such a proud person,

I really don't like a son, just send it away casually, but do you still want to be so cruel to me?

Deliberately cut me, oppress me, beat me, rebuke me, and insult me,

hehe

If it weren't for his blood in me,

Maybe I'm long gone.

but

Who called me like him,

Who told him to know that I was really like him?

Succession,

contention,

Let the old man think for himself, if he dies, do you still have a chance of winning?

You Ji Chenglang think that when you become a teacher or personally preside over a spring festival, you can become the master of these new science and technology scholars?

Can you take in a group of young officials for your own use?

be

You're tired,

You stood there, and you held the dragon gate, and watched the fish leap over;

Do you really think that all the talents in the world are in my hands?

I don't want to think about it,

These fish,

Before jumping over the dragon gate,

Who the hell is feeding?

In fact, after eliminating the children of the gate valve, those so-called cold doors, the so-called Dayan scholar seeds, are actually not much, and the cost of screening out some people with good character and giving grace in advance is really not worth mentioning compared with the follow-up results.

Of course, you can't fund anyone who is caught, white-eyed wolves are allowed, but not too many, otherwise it will be easy to get lost.

He Ji Chengjue never makes that loss-making business.

It's a pity that Uncle Zheng is not here at this time, otherwise he would have to praise and admire it in his heart.

In the history that Uncle Zheng is familiar with, the Jin Party of the Ming Dynasty and the chaebols of some countries in later generations are actually laid out in this way, so as to finally achieve the purpose of influencing the government.

When the scale of capital reaches a certain level, it instinctively penetrates and expands, and is not limited to buying and selling.

Ji Chengjue sat down on the chair,

Now, you all think that I, Ji Chengjue, only offered a Hirano uncle!

As everyone knows,

A few years ago, when my business was completely rolled out, how many people were served!

As soon as I thought of this,

Ji Chengjue's gaze condensed slightly,

Sweeping over the group of people standing in front of them,

The corners of the mouth outline a slight arc,

Road:

"You are all readers, and you are also the group of people who are the best at reading in my Dayan.

There's a problem,

Cheng Jue is not talented,

I'd like to ask you for advice.

That is,

In your opinion,

Giving birth to grace and nurturing grace,

Which is more important? ”

silent

silent

Silent......

finally

It's not who moved first, it's more like a coincidence.

More than ten officials from various ministries of Master Jinshi present,

knelt down towards Ji Chengjue, who was sitting in the first seat,

In unison:

"Meet the benefactor."
