That wonderful poem made Wang Yun doubtful.

Liu Yu's explanation of the previous sentence made him feel that the young man in front of him was definitely not as bad as he had known him a few years ago.

Was Liu Yu hiding his talents and tarnishing his reputation? Wang Yun thought it was impossible. After all, scholars of this era attached great importance to their reputation.

Since Emperor Gaozu founded the country, the country has been governed by filial piety. In the selection of officials, the system of recommendation was established, and the core of this system was to select filial and honest people.

The words "filial piety" and "honesty" became the standard of conduct for aristocratic families and scholars.

Because it concerns their own future and destiny. No one would not care, after all, no one would joke about their own future.

Wang Yun was a little confused.

Wang Yun thought of a possibility, unless he had no ambition to do this, he had wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and not enter the officialdom from the beginning. He was so young that he could see through the world, Wang Yun did not believe it, and Liu Yu's arrival in Luoyang at this time proved that he had no intention of hiding from the world.

Could it be that after receiving guidance from Mr. Shuijing, he suddenly got enlightened?

Wang Yun still didn't believe it. He didn't believe that a person with some skills could master the Seven Classics and integrate the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought after being enlightened by others.

If there really is someone in the world who can enlighten other people's intelligence, then this person must be a god.

Wang Yun never believed that there were gods under the sky. If there really were gods, there wouldn’t be so many disasters in the world.

How could a person like Dong who committed such evil deeds occupy the dragon bed in Luoyang and cause chaos in the harem?

Wang Yun looked at the young man in front of him with deep eyes. Even though he had seen countless people, he still couldn't see clearly.

"Nephew, please sit down and let us talk while we eat."

Liu Yu knew that his explanation had worked, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he remained expressionless.

"only".

"My lord, is there anything wrong with the meaning of the sentence I just explained? Please enlighten me."

Wang Yun laughed and said, "I never thought that my nephew has mastered all the classics at such a young age. This really opens my eyes."

"My dear nephew, your profound remarks have enlightened me greatly. Such profound remarks should be made public."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

"Your Majesty, I am so humbled by your praise. I do not deserve it."

Wang Yun smiled and said, "My dear nephew, there is no need to be so polite. Your father and I were friends in times of hardship. It would be a bit strange for you to call me Lord Wang. We can just call each other uncle and nephew."

When Liu Yu heard Wang Yun say this, he knew that he had passed the first test. At least in Wang Yun's heart, he was not an unlearned boy.

As for whether he can be reused by Wang Yun, it is probably too early. After all, selecting officials is not a child's game and it cannot be so vague.

Liu Yu bowed and said, "Uncle."

Wang Yun laughed out loud. Seeing Liu Yu's modest and polite appearance, he recalled his youth.

"I never thought that Brother Zhongfu has such a great son. Compared with my nephew, my naughty sons are just useless. None of them is interested in poetry, but I have an adopted daughter who loves poetry. You two can have a good chat."

Could it be that Wang Yun’s adopted daughter is Miss Diao Chan, one of the four legendary beauties, who is known for her beauty that can rival the moon?

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too modest. My nephew has only limited knowledge, and how can he compare to your family's profound learning?"

Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "The level of your knowledge depends entirely on yourself, and has little to do with your family's academic background."

Wang Yun took a few more sips of wine, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said, "My dear nephew, you have come at the right time. The government has just stabilized and there is a lot of work to be done. The court is now in a good position to recruit people. I will report to Prime Minister Dong tomorrow and he will make good arrangements for you."

After Dong Zhuo came to power, he appointed Wang Yun to an important position and allowed him to participate in confidential matters.

Wang Yun was calm and tolerant, and he was very flattering to Dong Zhuo, which earned him Dong Zhuo's trust.

To outsiders, Wang Yun was Dong Zhuo's right-hand man.

Liu Yu traveled through time from the future, so he naturally knew that Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo had never been the same kind of people. In Wang Yun's mind, Dong Zhuo deposed and enthroned the emperor and poisoned the queen mother. He was an undoubted traitor who brought harm to the country and the people.

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and understood Wang Yun's intention. It seemed that he wanted to test my political stance and whether I was on the same side as him.

Don't be fooled by this old man's righteous face, he has a lot of evil ideas in his mind.

In that case, let's watch my performance.

"May I ask, my dear uncle, what kind of person is Dong Zhuo?"

"Prime Minister Dong is a powerful and resourceful man. He has been in the north for many years, slaying the Yellow Turban rebels and crushing the rebellion of the Qiang people, and has made many achievements."

"Now that you have been summoned to the capital, you have come to the rescue of the emperor in Beimang, quelled the chaos, appointed talented people, and stabilized the court. You are a minister of the imperial court."

Liu Yu stood up suddenly, bowed and said, "Since you approve of Dong Zhuo so much, please excuse me and take my leave."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out.

Wang Yun was startled and quickly stood up and grabbed Liu Yu.

"What do you mean, nephew?"

Liu Yu's eyes were wide open and he looked angry.

"My nephew originally thought that after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang City, your uncle would be concerned about the Han Dynasty and would be irreconcilable with Dong Zhuo."

"That's why I gave up the comfort of my home and came to Luoyang to help. Even though I almost lost my life, I never regretted it."

"But when I heard that my uncle thought so highly of Dong Zhuo, I realized that I was wrong."

"I didn't expect that you would be so greedy for power that you would give yourself to a thief. How is your behavior any different from that of a thief?"

"When I was young, I often heard my father say that my uncle was a man of integrity and loyalty. I never thought that hearing about him was not as good as meeting him in person."

"If my father knew about this, he would definitely regret it. The friend he respected all his life turned out to be a despicable person who was greedy for wealth and fame and could not distinguish right from wrong."

"As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. I will return to Qinghe County and study hard to live out the rest of my life."

Wang Yun was secretly delighted when he heard Liu Yu's righteous words.

This young man was clearly scolding me, but I felt quite comfortable in my heart.

Good scolding!

Every word of these insults hits me to the heart.

A cloud of scolding is better than thousands of praises!

So that's how it is. Wang Yun suddenly had the answer to his previous doubts.

Although the young man was well-read, he had no intention of becoming an official, which is why he disgraced himself at home.

When Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc in the capital and endangering the Han dynasty, the young man stepped forward and came to the capital to help the old man get rid of the thief.

Although he is far away from home, his heart is still with the Han Dynasty.

His current behavior shows that he has such a broad mind. He is a talented person, a great sage.

Wang Yun laughed heartily, his laughter full of joy.

"My dear nephew, please take a seat quickly. Please take a seat quickly. I will tell you everything in detail."

As he said this, he quickly walked forward, grabbed Liu Yu, and smiled.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Uncle, please stop trying to persuade me. Although my nephew is not very knowledgeable, I am unwilling to associate with this thief."

"My nephew came to the capital this time not for power, but to rid the world of Dong Zhuo, the traitor who brought disaster to the country."

"Please allow me to take my leave."

After saying this, he pretended to leave.

Wang Yun was even happier seeing Liu Yu's performance.

He held Liu Yu's hand tightly and did not let go, explaining: "Don't be angry, nephew, I was just joking."

"A joke?"

"Is it not that you said this in order to trick your nephew into coming back?"

Liu Yu still seemed skeptical.

Wang Yun could only quickly explain: "I have studied the books of sages since I was young, so how can I not understand right and wrong, good and evil."

"How could I, a minister of the Han Dynasty, fall in love with the traitor Dong? My dear nephew, please take a seat and let me tell you everything."

"Uncle really didn't lie to me?"

"How could I lie to you? I and the thief Dong cannot coexist."
