Chapter 53

Pan Ming, Marquis of Xingyang, met Zhang Shuye and his party on the way to Fanlou.

A layer of frost appeared on his originally handsome face.

In his heart, this Wang Lin almost became famous in one fell swoop by stepping on his shoulders, and the emperor...it is so unreasonable to favor a young servant from the countryside so much, to give him an imperial letter, and to praise the street for three days!
Pan Ming entered Fan Lou full of resentment.

As relatives of the emperor, the Pan family has a mansion in the capital.

It's just that Pan Ming seldom lives in Beijing, and usually stays in the fief Xingyang.

This time, he came to Fanlou admiringly, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

Li Shishi politely declined to meet him on the grounds that he was unwell.

Pan Ming was so arrogant that he was about to explode on the spot, and people around him quietly told him about Li Shishi's friendship with the officials.Pan Ming had no choice but to give up, he never dared to openly rob women from Song Dynasty officials.

When Pan Ming was drinking in Fanlou, Wang Lin personally welcomed Zhang Shuye into the mansion.

[Zhang Shuye - life 6, intelligence 7, force 21, reputation 27, skills: loyalty, good plan]

This is a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, with strong bones, a loyal minister who will die for the country in the future, and one of the few people in this period of history that Wang Lin admires.

Zhang Shuye, who is already 53 years old, is imposing and imposing. He has grown up and walks vigorously without any signs of aging.

Wang Lin took a deep look at him, and bowed to pay respects: "Boy Wang Lin, meet Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Shuye also looked Wang Lin up and down, and bowed his hand in return.

He had heard a little about Wang Lin's name in the past two days. Yesterday he saw Wang Lin pick Pan Ming, Marquis of Xingyang with a spear in the East School Field. Knowing that Wang Lin has a bright future in the future, he dare not entrust him with it.

"Prince Wang is the first to explain the test. In the future, as long as you pass the palace test naturally, the officials will definitely appoint officials and appoint you, and even be appointed as disciples of the emperor. You and I will be ministers in the same palace in the future, so you don't have to be so polite!"

"However, Zhang has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"Master Zhang, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears!"

"Ms. Zhang read the theories made by the young master yesterday, and the day before yesterday he read the long and short sentences written by the young master to Mr. Li in Fan Lou, and he was very confused... It is because of your doubts. With your talent and learning, it is easy to stand out in the liberal arts..."

"Prince Wang, you know that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have always valued literature over martial arts. Even if I win the first prize in the martial arts field, it is not as good as being famous outside the Donghua Gate. Why do you abandon the basics and pursue the martial arts?"

Wang Lin took a deep breath and said, "My boy also knows that ever since Emperor Taizu agreed to rule the world with scholar-bureaucrats, the Great Song Dynasty promoted literature and suppressed martial arts, and Donghuamen's roll call was the dream of scholars all over the world. After that, they soared into the sky, leaped into the dragon's gate, and even Generals come out and become prime ministers. Military generals are oppressed and constrained everywhere. In the history of our Great Song Dynasty, there are countless famous generals who died in depression."

Zhang Shuye clapped his hands and sighed softly: "Since you know this, why did you sign up for the martial arts exam?"

"It is the national policy of the Song Dynasty to emphasize civility and despise military affairs. I don't dare to discuss whether it is right or wrong. There is only one thing that needs to be made clear to the adults. The boy came to Beijing to take the exam, but he didn't want to be rich and powerful and become an official in the court. He wanted to be promoted. The path is to wait for the future. As for whether it is martial arts or liberal arts, there is not much difference."

Zhang Shuye pondered and said, "My lord, you might as well speak out."

"My Great Song Dynasty now has internal and external troubles. Internal troubles are nothing more than the dimness of the officialdom, intensified internal strife, anomie in the government, and the people's livelihood. Chinese clothes!"

"At the time of national subjugation and extinction, only the strength of the whole country and bloody struggle can resist foreign enemies and restore our country! Therefore, I really don't want to be a civil servant, but I am willing to be a general. But I have to unify the army and horses, herd horses and encourage soldiers in the local area. Only in the future can we stand up in times of national crisis."

"Actually, the six thieves in the court control the government, and I stay in the court as a low-level official, squatting and squandering the years, when will I be able to make a comeback? If it really comes to a time when the nation is in peril, once the Jurchen soldiers come to the city, I have the heart to serve the country , but have no strength to serve the country, so what should we do? Probably we can only slay ourselves to thank the world, and would rather die than surrender to the full name."

Uncle Zhang's eyes were bright, he couldn't help but stand up, and said excitedly: "Young master's words are deeply in my heart. You are young and weak, to have this insight, and to have the world in your heart, is really a blessing for our great Song society. !"

"Adult praise."

"The Jurchens are a serious problem for my Song Dynasty! It's a pity that at this time, the important officials in the court are all focused on joining the Jin to destroy the Liao, but they don't know that if the balance of the Liao Kingdom is lost, the Jurchens will double their national power, and they will attack me in the south in a few days. Zhang is so humble, it is true It is powerless!"

"Master Zhang, the policy of uniting Jin to destroy the Liao Dynasty has been established. At this time, the general trend is not one person who can turn the tide. I think that the battle between Jurchen and my Great Song Dynasty is inevitable. For the current plan, what we can do is It is to plan ahead and prepare for the future!"

"Since you know that there are many disadvantages in joining the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, why did you bring up this strategy again in yesterday's policy discussion?"

Wang Lin smiled wryly, spread his hands and said, "Master Zhang, yesterday's martial arts strategy theory was just an exam, so what if I openly opposed the joint Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty? But because of this, I will definitely lose the election of this year's martial arts class and lose the opportunity to be promoted... ...If I lose my official status, how will I serve the country in the future?"

"That's why, Master Zhang, I think that, whether we are a person, an official or a business, we should take a long-term perspective, don't care about the gains and losses of a moment and a place, focus on the long-term, and think holistically, so that we can always achieve success!"

Zhang Shuye was silent for a moment, and finally clasped his fists and said, "What a beauty, it's worth taking a long look at! Young Master, you have a broad mind, and it's rare to be well-versed in human feelings. Compared with you, a certain one is really pedantic. I don't know how the power has changed."

Wang Lin knew that he was implying that he had offended Cai Jing by publicly writing to the emperor against the strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Although he had not been retaliated against by the Cai family for the time being, it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would be demoted from Beijing in the future and let the local officials go.

Wang Lin didn't make it clear, anyway, he didn't think it was good to be an official in the capital, and people like Zhang Shuye should go to the local area to guard the area and benefit the people.

……

Wang Lin had a long talk with Zhang Shuye right now, they were very speculative, and they became friends for many years.

Not long after Zhang Shuye left, Master Li of Fanlou sent someone to invite Wang Lin to the banquet.

In the afternoon, before entering Fanlou, Wang Lin glanced at his attribute panel.

【Life 7.5, Intelligence 11, Force 50, Reputation 35, Skills:... Yang Family Spear/Talk about Soldiers/Pierce Yang with a Hundred Steps/Mandarin Duck Legs/Swinging Bows Left and Right/Dan Qing. 】

The life value is still slowly increasing, and the reputation value has increased by 5, which is probably related to his first place in the solution test this time.The force value is stagnant, which means that 50 has become an important hurdle, and it may take a long time to accumulate to break through 50.

As for skill duplication, considering that the skill column has an upper limit, he won't do it easily.

Pan Ming ate wine alone in the private room on the second floor, and there were beautiful maids from Fanlou who came to serve him. If he had the taste, he was willing to spend money, and these maids would go to bed.

But when he heard the noise coming from outside the door, he opened the curtain and saw Li Shishi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, dressed in a white dress, with a graceful face and a spring breeze, personally greeted a handsome young man in blue shirt. Wang Lin from Shandong who was ordered to praise the first place in the martial arts test in Tokyo.

Pan Ming was angry from the heart.

What a promiscuous brothel girl!Aren't you feeling unwell? I didn't see a dignified Marquis of Xingyang, but I took the initiative to invite a country boy to enter the room!

Deceiving too much!
