Chapter 120: The Imperial Examination
The eyes between the two were like a firefight, fierce and short.
After a while, Ning Hanyu laughed, "What does Yoo Jae-fu mean by this?" Can't this official share the worries of the court? ”
"Lord Ning, why do you have to pretend like this?" Liu Zhongqing's eyes were scorching, staring at Ning Hanyu's deep eyes, and his tone was full of mockery: "Since we want to cooperate, we must be open and honest and explain things clearly, so as not to be suspicious of each other and suspicious ...... in the future."
Ning Hanyu's eyes quickly regained his composure, and he met Liu Zhongqing's eyes calmly.
"Lord Liu, do you still need to ask about such a simple matter?"
"If you want to maintain the security of the country and the people, you don't want any risks to exist. In this way, whether it is me or Lord Liu, you can sit back and relax and enjoy the glory and wealth brought by the prosperity of this Wu Dynasty! ”
Liu Zhongqing bowed his head slightly and did not refute.
Today's Liu family is already a rich and rival country, and the extension of its military, economic and other aspects of power is like the root system of a big tree, constantly drawing nourishment downward, and constantly supplying the Liu family, a big tree that dares to be taller than the sky.
The Liu family has stood at the top of the pyramid, but this big tree has lush branches and criss-crossed branches, but it also needs fresh blood to water.
Therefore, for these extended root systems, Liu Zhongqing will not be overly involved with them now.
Only when the Liu family truly controls the imperial power of the world will they concentrate all their efforts to cut off these root systems, so that this big tree will no longer be coveted.
It's like keeping a tree in the yard, in order to make it grow more lush and strong, you need to remove some crooked branches and buds.
In Liu Zhongqing's eyes, people like Ning Hanyu are crooked branches.
It's just that at the moment, it hasn't reached the point where it needs to be built.
Now His Royal Highness the Prince's actions are too rampant, and Liu Zhongqing has to guard against it.
"Lord Ning, does this official remember that you are married and have children?"
Liu Zhongqing said suddenly.
Ning Hanyu's face changed slightly, and he immediately responded with a smile, "Not bad." I didn't expect Yoo Jae to be in charge of every day, and he still had the heart to pay attention to the next family. ”
He pretended to pull the corners of his lips relaxedly, secretly annoyed in his heart, I don't know what Liu Zhongqing meant by suddenly mentioning this matter?
Liu Zhongqing hooked her lips slightly, and there was a bit of playfulness in her tone, "Lord Ning misunderstood, what this official is concerned about is not the family. It is the children of Lord Ning's knees. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"This year, the prince is going to hold the imperial examination, and I heard that Ning Gang, the son of Lord Ning, is outstanding in talent and brilliant writing. The official thought that if Lord Ning could recruit Ning Gang to serve in the capital, it would be a great blessing. ”
Liu Zhongqing raised his chin slightly, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was proud.
Is this trying to rein in him?
Ning Hanyu's eyes lit up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually spread.
"Lord Liu is right, and he has such thoughts in the future. It's just that this imperial examination was personally invigilated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there any way for Lord Liu? ”
"Hehe, what about His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Zhongqing's words were all arrogant, "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, as long as Lord Ning has a heart, there is naturally a way to solve it." ”
"Haha...... Lord Liu is right. Ning Hanyu laughed, his eyes burned, and there was a hint of excitement in the depths of his eyes, "Then I'll thank Master Liu first." ”
Liu Zhongqing smiled and waved his hand, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
"Hehe, what about His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Zhongqing's words were all arrogant.
In order to prevent him from taking over power in the DPRK, Li Yunxing specially held the imperial examination, and the purpose is self-evident.
He not only wanted to stop the imperial examination, but also to stir up the imperial examination and make Li Yunxing's achievements fall short.
Just the imperial examination, even if Li Yunxing can control the palace examination, what about the academy examination? Township test? Try?
He didn't believe that Li Yunxing could still intervene!
At that time, as long as the students who are sent to the palace examination will be screened by him Liu Zhongqing.
Even if Emperor Wu and the crown prince jointly conduct the palace test, the person who is finally selected is also his Liu Zhongqing's person, and even if Li Yunxing wants to do something from it, it will be useless!
What's more, he still passed the imperial examination openly, and Li Yunxing couldn't say anything more.
"It's just a mere imperial examination, although this official doesn't have any great skills, Lord Ning doesn't need to be so worried." Liu Zhongqing said modestly, but in fact he was arrogant and conceited.
A deep light crossed Ning Hanyu's eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if he was a little disdainful, but quickly covered it up and changed the topic.
"In that case, then thank you Lady Liu first."
For the long crooked branches, it is also necessary to give a little sweetness so that he has a reason to be clamped.
At this moment, Ning Hanyu, the mutual market supervisor, is also the fattest errand in Shaofu, why did he find himself?
Liu Zhongqing is not as bold as Li Yunxing, and anyone can cooperate.
Even Yang Tinghe, who had no factional power, dared to be promoted to the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple.
To cooperate with him Liu Zhongqing, he must take him under his command, whether it is coercion or inducement, only in this way will he be reassured.
Because, he knows very well that such an alliance will not only make the Liu family stronger, but also make the Liu family profitable.
And this benefit is enough for the two of them to join forces, and there will be no branches in between.
As for the Ning family......
Who is the person behind Ning Hanyu?
Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Zhongqing's heart, and there was still a faint smile on his face.
"Of course, Lord Ning, there will be places where you need help in the future. When the time comes, Lord Ning won't be pushing! Liu Zhongqing looked at Ning Hanyu meaningfully, and his eyes flashed with fine light.
The Mutual Market Supervisor was in charge of the salt, iron, tea, and other commercial trades, from which a great deal of money was earned every month.
And this is still on the surface, and the profits behind the scenes are probably not small, after all, there are many businessmen who rely on mutual market supervisors to eat.
Liu Zhongqing's appetite has always been quite big, but Liu Zhongqing is not seeking the interests of the court.
He wanted to use the wealth in Ning Hanyu's hands to strengthen himself.
Ning Hanyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Of course I won't shirk." Yoo Jae-fu can be as blunt as he can. ”
"Well, that's good."
If the Liu family can take it into their own hands, then they will gain great wealth.
"That's natural, as long as Lord Liu needs it, this official will do his best to help." Ning Hanyu smiled heartily.
The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, and they reached a consensus with each other.
Han Yihai, Qianyueshan, and some Wenchen generals present all smiled.
Liu Zaifu wanted to take the fat piece of Shaofu a long time ago, but the position of Shaofu was too important and involved a wide range of people, so he didn't attack for a long time.
Although Ning Hanyu is only an official from the sixth grade, he can't stand Ning Hanyu with his back to Shaofu, this is a double-edged sword, which can help Liu Zhongqing.
As long as Ning Hanyu is willing to follow Liu Zhongqing, then Liu Zhongqing can pull the Ning family into his camp and become the sharpest weapon in his hands.
As for Ning Hanyu, he also has such a plan.
The two of them have their own needs, and each takes what he needs.
