My country, you can pinch it

When Yun Zhishen walked into Liu Ke's room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. He glanced at it and saw the steam behind the screen, and couldn't help apologizing: "It seems that I disturbed His Highness to rest."

"Uncle Yun must have something important to come over late at night, so it's okay." Liu Ke raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Yun Zhishen sat down, nodded and said, "I do have something to report." He handed over a letter in his hand.

Liu Ke showed doubts on his face, but still took the letter, only to hear Yun Zhishen say: "This was delivered to me not long ago, Your Highness, Master Wang's people will arrive in Yongliang in two days."

"It's pretty fast. I was talking about them to Ling Ling today, but they came unexpectedly. But I'll write you a letter first. What are you asking my uncle to do?" Liu Ke opened the letter and looked.

Yun Zhishen asked: "I don't know what your Highness's plans are for them?"

At this time, Xiao Tuanzi stepped forward to pour tea, and Yun Zhishen's eyes fell on the sugar rabbit in his hand, and he took a second look.

"It was at the market today, and the dumpling was still childlike, so I had to buy it because of arguing." Liu Ke explained casually while reading the letter.

Xiaotuanzi paused as he poured the tea, "..." This damn reason might as well be honest.

Do you know what it means to cover up, Your Highness?

He took a deep breath, raised his head and said with a sneer, "I made Uncle Yun laugh."

Yun Zhishen said indifferently: "It's okay, you are young, it's normal to like these things, but don't eat them at night, it will damage your teeth."

Xiaotuanzi nodded again and again, poured tea, and immediately went down to put the rabbit away, it's strange to wait on the master and still hold it in his hand.

The letter was not long, and Liu Ke finished reading it quickly. Yun Zhishen said: "Since His Highness wrote to Mr. Wang to ask for talents, they must be placed in suitable positions." In terms of authority, the first time Master Wang sent someone here, he definitely would not be an ordinary person. To show his sincerity, Liu Ke couldn't let a false job go unused.

"Where does Uncle Yun think they should be arranged?"

Yun Zhi thought deeply and said: "Your Highness, Yongliang's official offices are all temporary, recommended by Zhao Bufan, and all of them are from Yongliang. The first is to restrict each other, and the second is to compete with each other, which is conducive to the elimination of officialdom in Yongliang and prevents officials from being slack and comfortable."

Liu Ke listened and nodded, "Uncle Yun's idea coincides with Ling Ling's, but to replace anyone and any position, there must be a convincing way. Except for the leader who is a Juren, the rest are just talents."

Since the letter asked Yun Zhishen to inquire about his position, he naturally sent all the main resumes. However, apart from the factual achievements, Liu Ke didn't believe anything else just from the brief description.

Scholars, although difficult to find in Yongliang, are not without them. Zhao Bufan is not stupid, so naturally he has the same fame in major positions, so as not to be looked down upon.

Yun Zhishen said: "This is exactly what I need to discuss with Your Highness, I wonder if that young master Shang has any countermeasures?"

Hearing this, Liu Ke picked up the tea calmly and took a sip, "Yes, Lingling said that if you have talent, you don't have talent, so let's do something practical first, and those who are capable will win."

"Then this fact means..."

The corner of Liu Ke's lips twitched lightly, "Implement the New Deal, go to the countryside and join the people." He explained the plan discussed by Shang Jinling.

Yun Zhishen didn't say yes or no after listening, he just said: "This matter is difficult for those who have to endure hardships and stand hard work. It's just that I'm afraid there will be complaints."

"Qu Cai?"

Yun Zhishen nodded: "It seems that His Highness has already expected it."

"Uncle, what is Qucai? I'm just the lord of Yongliang City who is as tall as the emperor and far away from the emperor. I don't need to fight for power, and I don't need to plot. There is plenty of food and there is no shortage of money in the treasury, that’s enough. I really don’t care about the so-called talents who govern the country or the world. As for governing the people..." Liu Ke smiled disdainfully, "Then go among the people first. Don't talk about the sufferings of the people, but you don't even know how the food is grown, so what's the use of such capable people? This king will give them a chance to understand the people. If they don't want to, then go out of the city and go south Go, find King Jing and King Duan, they are rare for such talents who talk about mountains."

Liu Ke's sarcasm made Yun Zhishen laugh so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened.

"Am I wrong?"

Yun Zhishen shook his head: "No, that's right. It's really rare for Your Highness to have such a simple idea."

After two or three months apart, when Yun Zhishen saw Liu Ke again, he always felt that the child's cynical, perverse and rebellious anger dissipated a lot. I have to say that people have really become much calmer, as if their feet are on the ground, and people can finally feel at ease.

"I can't help it. There is a person around me who talks about the interests of the people every day. It's not good to be ungrounded. What if I get rejected?" Liu Ke said helplessly, but his eyes were extremely proud.

This person, Yun Zhishen's guess is right, he smiled and shook his head, "Young Master Shang is such a narrow-minded person, His Highness values ​​him so much, he will naturally reciprocate. Since His Highness has already decided, let these people arrange it accordingly .”

"Uncle, just tell them that if you want to take on important tasks, you have to show your skills, otherwise you will lose the face of your grandfather." King Ning is so domineering.

Yun Zhi nodded with a deep smile.

The matter is over, the night is late, Yun Zhishen can't stay for a long time, so he got up to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and said: "Your Highness, I have a merciless request."

"What's the matter?"

"May I have a look at the article written by Mr. Shang for the county examination?"

Liu Ke thought it was important, but she didn't expect that she was just reading a test paper. What's the point? Just about to agree, she suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but look at Yun Zhishen, "Uncle, this is going to..."

Yun Zhi said with a deep smile: "Although it has been 20 years since I passed the imperial examination, I know everything about the essays, so it shouldn't be difficult to pick them up again." The words were full of confidence, as if returning to the high-spirited and bold pen and ink Blame Fang Qiu's age.

Liu Ke suddenly realized that the person in front of him was Sanyuan Jidi who was recorded in the annals of history, and he is still a legend in the imperial examination field!

Gao Xueli asked for connections everywhere to find a good teacher for Shang Jinling. Is there anyone better than Zhuangyuanlang?

If Shang Jinling followed Yun Zhishen to study, ha, why would he go back to Shacheng, why not just stay in Yongliang, or even come to the palace to study every few days?

Having said that, Liu Ke can be regarded as half of Yun Zhishen's student. Doesn't Shang Jinling have to call him a senior brother, a senior brother or a younger brother? Isn't it normal to get close to him?

Thinking of this, Liu Ke suddenly became excited, rubbed his hands together and asked, "Why did uncle suddenly come up with the idea of ​​recruiting students?"

Yun Zhishen replied: "If he is really a good seedling, for the long-term plan, he really needs a teacher to preach and learn. It's just that His Highness relies on him so much, and he is the key person to win over the Xilinghoufu, so this teacher can't be chosen casually, after thinking about it." Go, I can only let my broken body barely teach."

"But in this way, your identity may have to be revealed." Liu Ke said.

Yun Zhi looked at him in bewilderment, Liu Ke showed shame and said, "I told Ling Ling about the grievance 20 years ago."

Yun Zhishen looked at him in surprise, then frowned, "Your Highness, you are being reckless, in case it leaks out..."

"Ling Ling won't say it." Liu Ke assured without thinking, "And he guessed half of the situation at that time with his ingenuity." Just confess everything and lie flat.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct, otherwise how could they be so close?

"But I didn't say that the champion was you, but if my uncle wants to accept him as a student...then don't do that." Liu Ke reminded.

Hearing this, Yun Zhishen showed hesitation, his scar was too deep, and the slightest touch would hurt his heart.

"Let me think about it again, Your Highness, don't talk too much."

Liu Ke nodded: "Okay." After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you still read that paper?"

"Let's take a look first." Yun Zhishen left, his steps were a little staggering and heavy, Liu Ke looked at it, feeling a little unbearable.

In the next few days, as Shang Jinling said, Liu Ke didn't come to look for him. The twins were relieved and puzzled at the same time, and walked to the door several times a day.

Seeing this, Shang Jinling couldn't help laughing: "Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, if he comes, you're like watching a thief. If he doesn't come, you keep talking, do you want him to come or not?"

"Of course I won't come!" Shang Xiaowu replied straight away, "But I always feel that there are ghosts."

"They are all people with serious business, how can they have the leisure time to think about these things." Shang Jinling watched the two of them coming in and out, and said, "If you want to go out, go out, don't stay here and disturb me from reading. "

"That won't work, brother-in-law is not here, what if he comes?"

"I won't come, someone visited recently."

The twins wondered, "How do you know?"

Shang Jinling said as a matter of course: "He wrote to me and told me."

Twins: "..." Who, who sent messages to these two under their noses?

As soon as Shang Yangyang stepped half a foot in, she immediately retracted. In an instant, two pairs of eyes fell on her body and the letter in her hand.

"I, someone wrote a letter to my little uncle." She quickly slipped in, put the letter on the table, then ran out with oil on the soles of her feet, the eyes of the two aunts were a little scary.

Shang Jinling opened the letter under the eyes of the twins, and shook his head with a smile after reading it, "Then it will be fun."

The twins looked puzzled.

"Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister, you really don't need to stare at me here, but Duo Erduo, I don't know how it is now? Are their siblings okay?"

Shang Xiaoshuang said: "Not too good. Although Duan Ping didn't make things difficult for them anymore, but they couldn't find the goods, and they don't have much money. Now they have difficulty in eating and lodging. You still don't want me to help them."

Shang Jinling listened and asked with a smile: "You two have helped, why do they have to go to those Hu merchants who stayed in Yongliang and oppressed them for help?"

"That doesn't have to be so hard, Duoerduo is a delicate girl, with her younger brother, every time she asks for a family, she is kicked out once, and the money for charity is left on the ground, it looks really pitiful." Shang Xiaowu couldn't bear it.

"She is very smart. She not only solved the problem of eating, but also got in touch with different people, making Duan Ping think that no one will help them anymore." Shang Jinling touched her chin and praised, Duo Erduo has long since lost face. I care about it, as long as she is more pitiful, those people at the Hu people's elder seat will feel more at ease, "But the other party is careful, so far they haven't found that batch of goods."

"It's hidden really deep."

"Lingling, did King Ning not bother to look for it?"

Shang Jinling nodded: "It's natural, if you want to find it, you have to look for it secretly, and you must not startle the snake on the surface."

"Ah... then I must not be able to find it in a short time." The twins said disappointedly.

"The other party is very cautious. It seems that we are here, but the other party is still afraid."

"What should I do?"

"There's nothing we can do, we can only finish the exam earlier, let's leave early." Shang Jinling waved his hands at this point, "Okay, you two hurry up, let me read the book for a while, the exam is going to be tomorrow. "

Shang Jinling is not worried about anything else, but the environment of the examination room is a bit worrying, not knowing whether her body can hold it.

But obviously he was overthinking it.
