At this lunch, the sixth child ate carefully and did not give Lao Liu a chance to play on the topic.

Liu Bowen was even more calm, just looked at the sixth child playfully, and didn't mention yesterday's incident.

The master's tricks are so unpretentious and boring......

It wasn't until after eating that Liu Li and Liu Xiang removed the dishes and chopsticks, and when the sixth child helped Liu Bowen to the courtyard to eat tea, he finally couldn't hold his breath and said:

"Master, if you have something to say, just say it, don't look at me like that."

"What you think, the old man has nothing to say." Liu Bowen sat on the recliner and said lightly: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you can do it yourself." ”

"Rely on ......" Lao Liu rolled his eyes depressedly, the most difficult thing in the world is to look at it.

"But don't worry, Master," he decided, ...... a statement.

"I have nothing to worry about." Liu Bowen interrupted him and said, "You have never let me down. ”

"Hey." Lao Liu smiled bitterly and nodded, what is a Tai Chi master, this is the real Tai Chi master. After a few pushes and pulls, he held himself down.

Luckily, I didn't plan to struggle......

"Let's get down to business." Liu Bowen asked slowly, "How does it feel to study in Guozi?" ”

The sixth man repeated what he said to the old thief yesterday.

Liu Bowen is not as self-cherished as Boss Zhu, he said pertinently: "Master Song is a genius, and under his leadership, Guozixue has achieved unprecedented achievements, which is where the emperor's confidence lies in daring to stop the imperial examination." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen nodded, the talents cultivated by Guozixue are definitely much more reliable than the nerds who are selected by just a few exams.

"But he's not being lenient, he's being too harsh." Liu Bowen changed his words and said: "Educating people should be lenient and strict to win their hearts." Blindly using strong will cause problems. ”

"Yes, my old man is also in this problem." The sixth man thought deeply and said: "No wonder he looks at Master Song everywhere, and I am anxious when I say a few words." ”

"But your father is the emperor, who can help him?" Liu Bowen said quietly.

"Song Ne studied in the country, and he is similar to the emperor." Zhu Zhen pouted.

"After studying in the country, there are people who can cure him." Liu Bowen nodded at Lao Liudao: "For example, your Royal Highness King Chu and King Jiahai, if you really want to clean him up, can you still do it?" ”

"I've only been in the middle of a month, and I haven't seen a lot of things clearly." The sixth smiled bitterly: "How can you shout and kill as soon as you come up?" Besides, Song Ne's talent is also very prominent. I am convinced by his set of management rules. ”

"Your Highness has said something." Liu Bowen nodded and said, "The school rules set by Song Ne are really powerful. As long as it is strictly implemented, you can continuously deliver a steady stream of hardworking, loyal and obedient officials for your old Zhu family. ”

"This," after a pause, he said softly, "it is something that the imperial examination officials cannot compare with in any case." ”

"How?" The sixth humbly asked.

"The old man is a jinshi of the previous dynasty, and he knows the mentality of the imperial examination officer best." Liu Bowen said slowly: "First of all, the fish leaps over the dragon gate, pretentious, every official who is a scholar and a first, thinks of himself as a great talent for governing the country. How can you bend down and deal with those trivial mundane tasks in a down-to-earth manner? ”

"This is the reason why Master resigned several times in Qianyuan?" The sixth asked with a smile.

"Stinky boy, don't open any pot and mention which pot." Liu Bowen didn't have a good air:

"In short, most of the non-commissioned officers are high-eyed and low-level behaviors, and it is okay to rely on them to do superficial things, but if they really want to clear the acres, repair water conservancy, build projects, persuade agriculture and mulberry, and develop goods and breeding, they will give it in vain."

"That's right." Lao Liu nodded, he didn't expect Liu Bowen's evaluation of the non-commissioned officer to be so ordinary.

"This is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that the officials who have passed the imperial examination and passed the examination layer by layer will be grateful for their efforts, grateful for supporting their families, grateful for teaching him, especially for his mentor." Liu Bowen sighed and said:

"Only I won't thank the court that set the threshold for him. This is the biggest problem of the imperial examination - to control people with skills, and people to treat people with skills. There are no loyal ministers in the court who are truly loyal to the country, only selfish silverfish. How can the country be governed well? ”

These words of betrayal of his own class, Lao Liu never told him before. After the death of the elder brother, the teacher seems to have broken with his origin. will tell yourself this.

"Let the master say this, it is quite necessary to be taught in Guozi for four years and then become an official." The sixth man sighed lightly: "What is the meaning of the existence of the imperial examination?" ”

"Otherwise, why do you think your father stopped the imperial examination in the first place?" Liu Bowen said lightly: "But the pressure of the government and the opposition to resume the imperial examination is rising wave after wave. I think your father can't stand it, and sooner or later he will have to reopen. ”

"But as soon as the imperial examination opens, the importance of Guozixue will be affected." Zhu Zhen muttered.

"Now you understand, your father's entanglement, right?" Liu Bowen chuckled and said, "Otherwise, why would you let your two princes go to Guozi to study?" Isn't it just counting on you to help him find the best of both worlds? ”

"Understood." The sixth nodded, and was about to say something more, when he saw Hu Bo go and return, and whispered in his ear:

"Your Highness, everyone has been kidnapped."

"Who are they?" The sixth asked in a deep voice.

"King Tan of Qi, as well as the little son of the Marquis of Jiangyin, the only son of Prime Minister Hu." Hu Boyu reported: "On the other cars, they were all escorted by their entourage. ”

"Good guy...... "The sixth called the good guy." It's not easy to catch them, is it? ”

"That's it." Hu Bo nodded and said in a low voice: "They are all very arrogant, they are all tied up, and they are still speaking out there." Is His Royal Highness hurry up to report to the emperor, lest the wicked people in their family sue first? ”

"Don't worry, I'll let someone report to my eldest brother before I come." The sixth laughed and said, "The eldest brother said, it's all my younger brother, just let me let go of education." Where are the people? ”

"It's tied up outside the gate." Hu Bo smiled reassuringly.

"Outside the door of my master's house, what do you look like, tie them to the pier," Zhu Zhen rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wait for this king to clean them up himself." ”

"Order." Hu Bo responded and walked quickly.

"Master, wait, the apprentice will go back as soon as he goes." The sixth said that he was about to go out.

"Wait, you're going empty-handed?" As soon as Liu Bowen heard that there was Hu Weiyong's son, he immediately became energetic. "Liu Xiang, pick up something for your little uncle."

Liu Xiang hurriedly found the bamboo planks used for ordinary punishment, and the sixth child waved it, which was light and fluttering, which was too enjoyable.

He changed the whip again, shook two whips, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's still too light." ”

Liu Xiang found him an iron chain......

"Get out." The sixth man rolled his eyes and said, "Let's use a whip and dip it in salt water." ”

Then he carried a whip dipped in salt water and went out of the Sincerity Mansion.
