Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 974 Misunderstanding Resolved
Ruan Ji saw that at this moment Yuan Tan still didn't understand why Liu Ling was angry with him.

So he had no choice but to quietly pull Yuan Tan aside, and whispered the whole story to Yuan Tan.

Knowing that all this happened because of Liu Ling's failure, Yuan Tan was a little bit dumbfounded.

Then he smiled and said, "Is it because of this?"

Ruan Ji also nodded helplessly.

Yuan Tan now understands that it seems that Liu Ling takes this matter of fame very seriously.

In Yuan Tan's impression, aren't the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove all people who are indifferent to fame and fortune and live in seclusion in the mountains for fun?

Why did Liu Ling show such a state today.

This made Yuan Tan also feel that it seems that this person's personality can also be changed under the influence of the outside world.

Especially Liu Ling is the best example.

However, Yuan Tan didn't know that Liu Ling's behavior was not because he valued fame and fortune.

It's just because the two people who came with me have gained fame by virtue of their own abilities.

On the contrary, he was the only one who didn't get Yuan Tan's approval, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was still young, so his determination to win or lose was relatively strong.

That's why this happened.

Seeing that Liu Ling was still looking angry at this moment, Yuan Tan was instantly amused by Liu Ling's appearance when he was angry at the few people before.

Then he said to Ruan Ji and Ruan Xian: "Don't be in a hurry to resign from me, why don't you wait for me to talk to Bo Lun?"

Ruan Ji and Ruan Xian didn't really want to disappoint Yuan Tan's good intentions, and most of the reasons were because of Liu Ling's decision.

Even if Liu Ling was in a hurry just now, she said something to break justice with them.

But the two of them didn't want to cut off the friendship they had known each other for several years.

For this fame, the two didn't care much at all.

Participating in the imperial examination is just to prove whether you meet Yuan Tan's requirements.

If resigning from this position can reconcile the relationship between several people, then why not?
But now that Yuan Tan said that, the two of them wanted to give Yuan Tan some favors, so they nodded.

If Yuan Tan can persuade Liu Ling not to be too concerned about this matter, then the two of them don't have to make things difficult for Yuan Tan at this moment.

Then he stood aside and watched how Yuan Tan handled the matter.

Seeing that Ruan Ji and Ruan Xian had agreed to his request, Yuan Tan understood that it seemed that Liu Ling was the problem.

As long as you convince this person yourself, the problem will be solved.

Yuan Tan begged Xiao Er for a jug of wine, and went to Liu Ling's side.

"Bo Lun, are you still angry with me?" Yuan Tan asked with a smile.

"How dare you! You have a noble status, how dare you offend the next grassroots?" Liu Ling sneered.

Yuan Tan naturally could hear the irony in Liu Ling's words, and immediately didn't care.

Facing Liu Ling, he asked: "If Bo Lun is angry with me because of the failure of the ranking, can you listen to my explanation before I explain it. If the explanation I give you is not satisfactory, you can blame Yuan Mou, Yuan Mou Just say nothing."

Seeing that Yuan Tan was putting down his face at this moment and wanted to explain to herself, Liu Ling knew that she couldn't go too far.

After all, now I understand that this problem is not all Yuan Tan's fault.

Then he snatched the jug from Yuan Tan's hand and said, "For the sake of this jug of wine, I want to hear your argument."

Liu Ling took Yuan Tan's drink, and Yuan Tan also knew that the anger in Liu Ling's heart was not that serious.

It seems that there is a chance for the matter to be reversed, and he immediately said: "Before explaining this matter, does Bolan know why I am so eager to conduct this imperfect imperial examination in Chengdu?"

Liu Ling sneered and said, "Don't you just want to recruit some talents?"

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "Although what Bo Lun said is correct, it is too general. This is only the result, but not the cause of this matter."

Liu Ling was also taken aback at this moment, it seems that there is something else hidden in this matter!
I didn't know this, so I quietly waited to hear what Yuan Tan had to say.

"The reason for this is that after I first occupied Yizhou, many counties and counties lacked a large number of officials to accept them, so I had no choice but to launch such an imperfect recruiting move." Yuan Tan said.

When Liu Ling heard this, she disdainfully said: "Don't lie to me, even if you capture Yizhou, then the county naturally has the original officials, why don't you use their temporary jurisdiction first."

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "There are two reasons for this. One is that I don't know most of the officials. Whether their abilities can meet my requirements is extremely worrying. How can I take on this important task?"

"Secondly, many of these people are loyal to Shu. If I reuse them without authorization, there will inevitably be many problems in the future. When the time comes, Yizhou, which is already at peace, will fight again. How should I explain to the people of Yizhou?"

Yuan Tan told Liu Ling all his concerns.

Although Liu Ling was young, she understood immediately after Yuan Tan's explanation.

But what does this have to do with his failure?

Then he asked Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan also explained: "That's the case, so this imperial examination is not about personal ability, but to select talents who can manage counties and counties. No matter how outstanding, if you can't meet this requirement, you won't be admitted."

When Liu Ling heard this, he also understood what Yuan Tan meant, which meant that he did not have the ability to govern counties.

At this moment, his complexion was also a little ugly. He had already understood that there was a gap between him and Ruan Ji and others.

But now hearing Yuan Tan say it personally, it is another embarrassment.

Seeing Liu Ling's expression, Yuan Tan knew what Liu Ling was thinking.

Then he went on to say: "Many of the people who failed the rankings this time are also talented people, but now they are not what I am looking for, so on the bright side, I have no choice but to let them fail the rankings, but in private I also sent people to check them out." All these people have been recruited under my command, so I will serve as staff first, and after I return to Yecheng in the future and improve the imperial examinations again, I will let these people enter the Dragon Gate."

When Liu Ling heard this, he said: "So what, I'm not among them."

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "What does Bo Lun mean by that? Who says you're not among them?"

Liu Ling said, "I didn't receive your invitation to send someone out."

Only then did Yuan Tan slowly take out an edict from his bosom and said, "It's not because you and the other three are different from others. Naturally, I didn't ask my subordinates to do this. After all, your merits are true and cannot be so Take it easy!"

Yuan Tan's words convinced Liu Ling, so Liu Ling took Yuan Tan's edict and read it, and saw that what was said above was not a lie.

Only then did she completely trust Yuan Tan, and Liu Ling's face was a little embarrassed at the moment.

After all, I thought that Yuan Tan was so nostalgic for his old feelings, that he...

The more she thought about it, the more blushed Liu Ling's face became.
