Lao Zhu's words made the faces of more than half of the ministers in the court "snap".

The courtiers bowed their heads and did not make a sound, but secretly slandered themselves: Lao Zhu, it's not interesting for you to say that.

Man does not perish for his own sake.

Even if I am a very powerful minister, I don't plan for my children and grandchildren early, and when I am old, what will they eat?

Don't you also think about your son everywhere?

A stupid son must be crowned a king, so that he can be prosperous and rich while lying down, and he will also set down the fortunes of future generations of children and grandchildren.

Liu Lian knelt down: "The minister is afraid, the minister is immoral and incompetent, and he does not dare to take on such a heavy responsibility, so he implores the emperor to take back his fate." ”

Lao Zhu looked at Liu Lian lightly.

He didn't let Liu Lian really not want to be, or fake and humble.

The officials were anxious: Liu Lian, you are stunned.

Old Juken promoted you, why didn't you deserve it?!

After this village, there is no more shop.

Do you think Deng Zhen and Li You have a lot of ability?

The butt decides the head, you just have to sit in that position, and it will be.

Zhu Bai turned his head with interest and looked at Liu Lian carefully.

Before he was in Guozijian, he hadn't taken this mediocre-looking person who didn't like to talk about it in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he was a ruthless character who was more treacherous than Lao Tzu.

Isn't this just retreating as advance, testing the reaction of the speaker?

If Yanguan doesn't support him, what if he becomes a good product? When the time comes, he will be attacked by Huaixi and Yanguan from both sides, not to mention that he can't sit steadily, and even the seventh product may not be able to mix.

Li Cunyi just wanted to say: "It's rare for Lord Liu to be so modest, please ask the emperor to allow him." ”

An Ran rushed to the front and said: "Lord Liu is the eldest son of Uncle Chengcheng, and he has won the true inheritance of Lord Liu Ji. Moreover, he has also been trained in the court for more than ten years, which is enough to serve as a servant of the ministry. ”

He is expressing his position to Liu Lian and Lao Zhu on behalf of the speech officer: Liu Lian replaces Liu Bowen as the leader of the speech official, we recognize it!!

is also telling Liu Lian: If you don't accept it, our official won't agree! Your dad won't say yes!!

Hu Weiyong stepped forward: "Lord An is right, and the minister seconded the proposal." ”

The gang in Huaixi were relieved when they saw Hu Weiyong, what else was there to make trouble.

Lao Zhu asked Liu Lian: "Lord Liu, what do you think now?" ”

Liu Lian kowtowed: "In this way, the minister can only accept it bravely." If the minister is stupid and can't do it well, please ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”

Lao Zhu nodded: "Well, do it well." ”

dispersed, and the officials gathered around Liu Lian to congratulate.

Liu Lian replied one by one: "The officials are ashamed, and I want more guidance from the adults." ”

An Ran said: "Lord Liu is very polite. In the future, it will be up to Lord Liu to make suggestions to the emperor. ”

This means that Liu Lian will take the lead.

Liu Lian hurriedly said, "Lord An tormented me. The qualifications of the lower officials are shallow, and many things are afraid that they will not be handled properly, and they still need to be reminded by the adults. Before my father left Yingtian, he repeatedly told the officials that they must ask Lord An and other adults for advice in case of trouble. ”

An Ran was very satisfied with Liu Lian's modesty.

Originally, he was also the highest official and the oldest among the officials.

He took the lead, and rightfully so.

Their words reached Lao Zhu's ears in less than a stick of incense.

Lao Zhu waved his hand, and waited for the pro-army lieutenant who came to report to go down, and then asked Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai: "What do you think about this?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly: "Erchen still has to observe." ”

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Bai again.

Zhu Bai smiled: "Erchen has no opinion. ”

Judging from the current tricks, Liu Lian must be more shrewd than Liu Shenstick.

He let An Ran take the lead at this time, on the surface he was humble, but in fact, he pushed An Ran out as the big wrong.

Just kidding, his father was played home by Hu Weiyong, isn't he looking for death when he wants to come up again?

This guy is not only brave, but also strategic, it depends on his character.

But these words don't need to be debunked by him with many words.

Because Lao Zhu knew it very well in his heart.

Lao Zhu nodded lightly and said without a head: "The leader of civil and military affairs is elected." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Lao Zhu.

Does this mean that Liu Lian has been inspected as a civil official leader in the future?

-----

After Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, Lao Zhu sent people to closely monitor Liu Bowen, and often asked about Liu Lian's movements.

The pro-army lieutenant said that Liu Lian's life was very boring.

If it is his turn to be on duty, he will be the first to arrive and the last to leave.

When he left the ministry, he went home directly, did not make friends with anyone, did not go to the restaurant, and did not listen to the play.

Liu Bowen occasionally went to the teahouse to drink tea and discuss calligraphy and articles with Song Lian.

This Liu Lian is really more serious than his Lao Tzu, and he lives like an ascetic.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao lowered their eyes and listened to the report of the pro-army captain.

Zhu Bai looked around, playing with his fingers in a daze, as if he was not interested at all.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart: it's all acting, why take it seriously.

The most terrible people in the world are people who have no shortcomings and no weaknesses.

If Liu Lian is really smart, he shouldn't make himself like a bodhisattva.

Then a few days later, the pro-army lieutenant came back to report, saying that Liu Lian liked to play with stones.

A wide variety of strange stones. However, he didn't spend money on it, and he went to the river beach to pick up stones by himself. I like the rain flower stone the most.

Lao Zhu smiled: "This kid has such a strange hobby. ”

After Liu Bowen returned to his hometown Qingtian, he closed his door on the grounds that he needed to be sick and recuperate.

Many people admired his talent and fame and came to meet him, or invited him to meet him, but they were all disappointed.

It's just that a few days after he went back, he did a big thing.

He asked the Zhejiang Guanya Bureau to bring a book to Zhu Bai, saying, "This book contains what the grass people have learned all their lives, and the king of Xiang must study it well." ”

The official tooth bureau didn't dare to delay, and quickly whipped up and sent it to Zhu Bai.

When Zhu Bai received it, he gritted his teeth angrily: This old god stick dug a pit for me again!!

What I have learned all my life, there must be nothing written in it.

Even if I show it to Lao Zhu to prove my innocence, Lao Zhu may not believe me, and he will think that I hid the book and tried to do wrong.

When he was in Yingtian, he obviously had a lot of opportunities to give me, but when he returned to Zhejiang, he went to great lengths to ask the official tooth bureau to give it to me, which is a trick! !

Zhu Bai thought about it and decided to take it and dismantle it in front of Lao Zhu.

Zhu Bai was walking unhurriedly, but he stopped not far from the door, and then put a naughty and excited smile on his face that a nine-year-old child should have, and trotted to the door.

Zhang Yu and Erhu silently watched Zhu Bai do all this, and then exchanged thoughtful looks, and each silently stood in their own positions.

It just so happened that Zhu Biao was also in the imperial study.

Zhu Bai jumped in front of Lao Zhu with a running belt, and shouted in his mouth: "Father, father, Liu Fuzi said that he brought a peerless book to his son, and what did he say that it collected what he had learned all his life. Guess what? ”

"Slow down, be careful of falling." Lao Zhu put down the fold, frowned and said, "Why is it so big and so unstable." ”

Zhu Biao was also aroused by curiosity, and leaned over to watch Zhu Bai open the outer layer of paper.
