Chapter 105: Forcing People to Do Things
The material selection competition is held every three months, and there are four times a year, and the reason why Yan Zi is so set up is to recruit talents, so that more talents with unique skills can join the imperial court and be loyal to the imperial court. But I didn't expect such a form to be used by people with intentions.
In the face of no less than twenty or thirty royal relatives who came up, Lord Liu had a headache, and at the same time his heartbeat accelerated, and yesterday's situation flashed in his mind, two extremely sharp knives from different angles on his neck, as long as he was not careful, he could move his head by leaning on both sides, and the speed of the knife was even more fragile in life.
The more Lord Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out in his palms, just that, I can only be sorry for Your Majesty once. I believe that's all, Your Majesty won't care too much, not to mention that people who are all relatives of the emperor and your majesty shouldn't be embarrassed.
Lord Liu secretly decided on them without looking at them, and these people were just symbolic performances and then selected. Due to the limited number of places, after recruiting these people, others will not have a chance to be selected again, and will have to wait for the next competition.
But who would have thought that there would be so many relatives of the emperor, and that there would be so many twenty or thirty after the next month, and Lord Liu was even more scared. With such a blatant enrollment of all of them, what will happen to Your Majesty.
Lord Liu was very scared, after all, he had done something wrong, even if no one noticed it, he was also panicked, but the same situation happened for the second time, the same knife could be put on his neck many times, Lord Liu knew that he couldn't escape, and he reluctantly wrote down their names with his eyes closed.
And these shrewd people are also worried that such actions will be detected, so they occasionally come to such a show. After participating in this session, you will not participate in the next or next session, and will wait until the next few sessions to participate. If several people are separated in this way, they will not be noticed. After participating in the competition three or four times, there is barely no longer being harassed, and I think all the royal relatives who want to participate in the competition have already been shortlisted. It's okay or not, so that no one threatens themselves with knives at night. However, after such several incidents, Lord Liu did not dare to go out alone at night, and hurried home as soon as he finished his business, and did not forget to keep his eyes open and secretly observe the road along the way, for fear of carrying him to an unknown place again.
The selected talents will be entered into the list and then presented to Yan Zi.
Yan Zi is very sensitive to the word Yan Xue, although it is a rough glance, you can see the familiar words at a glance, and there are twenty or thirty royal relatives in the first issue, which means that all the selected places are occupied by the Yan Xue family. Is there really so many capable people in their family? Yan Zicai didn't believe it, remembering that before his father became a general, the two families were ordinary farmers, where did they have so many talents. It's just that Daddy became a general and only wore gorgeous and glamorous after the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and even then it couldn't hide the fact that the pillow was embroidered and a bag of grass was embroidered.
So in the face of the roster submitted by the visitor, Yan Zi expressed doubts, only because of the continuous events of the imperial court that he had to let them go once, he thought that there would be no more lists without them for the second time, who knew that there were their names in the fourth, sixth, and eighth selected lists, and they were blockbusters.
Now Yan Zi can no longer be silent, it is a major matter related to the development of the imperial court, how can it be a child's play, these people really have real talent and real learning, if they are useless and foolish, it is the crime of bullying the king, and they must be taught a good lesson, so that they know what it means for the prince to break the law and the common people.
"Someone, call me here." Yan Zi was furious, threw off the roster, and ordered someone to immediately summon Lord Liu.
The roster flew fast and far away with her strength and hit the eunuch's face impartially, hurting, as if a knife had slashed his face, the eunuch subconsciously touched his face, and then stepped forward cautiously.
"Your Majesty."
"Go and call me Lady Liu."
"Yes" The eunuch held the dust in his hand, still responding cautiously, retreating cautiously, and then hurriedly looking for Lord Liu.
These days, Lord Liu has been fulfilling his duties, either in the mansion or in the venue to select talents, in order to make up for the previous mistakes, this time the selection of talents is extraordinarily careful, and there can be no mistakes, so I hope that His Majesty will be treated lightly for the sake of his rare confusion.
Although I silently hoped that Your Majesty would not embarrass me, the bad news still came, the eunuch explained that His Majesty was going to summon him, so frightened that Lord Liu almost fainted, but fortunately, the eunuch even supported.
"Yo, Lord Liu, what's going on, isn't it that you've been too tired and weak for days? That's not good, Your Majesty wants to see you, and Your Majesty will be unhappy to see you if you are so weak. According to our family, it is better to wash your face first, and then go back to the palace with our family as soon as possible. You must know that Your Majesty is a quick-tempered person, especially today, Long Yan is angry, and he can't be lazy. But it's strange to say, what did you do to make Your Majesty so angry, that roster was thrown like a dart, and our family's face was almost ruined. The eunuch complained and touched his face in distress.
Lord Liu was already afraid, and coupled with the eunuch's words, he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, and it was likely that he would never return, which was terrible. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out again, and all kinds of pictures came to mind when I thought of my relatives, thinking of my relatives and the old and young in my family, thinking of their entrustment and expectations, and feeling that I was a bastard.
But what can be done, who told him to be afraid of death, hey, blame himself for being greedy for life and afraid of death, look at this point. Lord Liu stomped his foot in annoyance, and then slapped himself violently, thinking that if the slap could offset his sins, he would be willing to smoke a few, but he also knew that it was impossible, but he still faintly had such a fluke.
The eunuch, who didn't know the ins and outs, was very surprised, "Lord Liu, what are you doing here, why are you so vicious to yourself." As if this face is not your own, can you men be kind to yourself. If you are so vicious to yourself, how can you rest assured that people will hand over your daughter to you. ”
Lord Liu was embarrassed when he heard this, and his face was red and white, "Father-in-law, please lead the way, this official will go to see Your Majesty." ”
Lord Liu was mentally prepared before deciding to follow his father-in-law to see Yan Zi, no matter how angry Yan Zi was, he had to carry it for a while, maybe he would be able to let himself go.
In the palace hall, Yan Zi took the roster and looked at it, and when he saw Lord Liu coming in to salute, he didn't call him flat or say a word, just stared at the roster quietly.
This made Lord Liu even more frightened, as if he had a rattle in his heart, he glanced at Yan Zi from time to time, and accidentally collided with her afterglow, so he panicked and his face turned pale and quickly lowered his head and knelt down obediently.
There are several speculations in my heart, worried that I will be executed, and then my family will have no one to take care of me, and where will I get the knife when I am executed, I have thought about all kinds of bad pictures, and I can't help but feel sick and sick when I think of the bloody place.
Yan Zi saw his strange symptoms, so he put down the roster and asked, "Lord Liu, but you are so tired that your body is exhausted?" ”
"No, no, no, no, it is the duty of a courtier to serve the court and the country, and the minister is proud of it, so how can he feel tired." Lord Liu shook his head vigorously to explain, and found some words that understood the meaning and filled in.
Yan Zi was surprised when she heard this, but she couldn't see any expression on her face, no one knew what she was thinking at this time, only she knew.
At the beginning, he chose Lord Liu as the examiner because he took a fancy to his honest character, but today it seems that he has also learned some oily and smooth things, at least Yan Zi doesn't like it very much, but for the sake of his usual honesty, he doesn't care.
"Lord Liu, I ask you, do those imperial relatives of mine really have such great ability, why did you recommend them one after another, did you really see their ability or did you have to do it because of any favor!"
Yan Zi asked lightly, maybe he was upright and didn't know how to beat around the bush, and his words were a little sharp.
These were exactly in the heart of Lord Liu, and suddenly he was at a loss for what to do, and he stammered when he spoke, "No, that's right." Your Majesty, their talents have been seen by the ministers, and if Your Majesty does not believe them, you can ask them to come up and perform them again for Your Majesty to see. ”
"No need, I'm selecting talents, not playing monkeys, since Lord Liu has said that they can do it, what else do I have to worry about. There is a saying that there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, since I have entrusted such an important task to you, I am naturally convinced, since Lord Liu said that they can do it, they will definitely do it. Step aside. ”
"Huh? Your Majesty doesn't ask anything else? "Lord Liu was frightened, why did the lifeless and serious atmosphere just now have such a relaxed ending, I always felt that this was a symptom before the storm, and there should be something more terrible behind.
But in fact, Yan Zi is as simple as that, he called him over just to ask if he meant anything else, "What's wrong?" Do you want to stay and talk to me? Yan Zi raised his eyes and looked at Lord Liu suspiciously.
Who knew that Lord Liu was scared and quickly looked away, and then laughed dryly, "No, no, no, the minister is just too happy." His Majesty was a little moved by his trust in the minister, so he was at a loss for a while. ”
Yan Zi laughed, "You, you, it's always like this." They are all people who are ministers or not stable, but fortunately, there is still some measure, which also reassures me a lot. ”
Yan Zi's words hit Lord Liu's heart like a heavy stone, he couldn't speak in pain, and cursed himself a thousand times in his heart, he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why did he do such a foolish thing with a hot brain.
Yan Zi saw that he was kneeling on the ground in a daze, as if he was preoccupied, and couldn't help but care, "What's wrong?" Why are you depressed, isn't there something on your mind? Speak up and listen. ”
