Shengshi Mingjun

Yijia was carried up to Liu Xun by the attendant, and Liu Xun arranged seats for the three very gently and asked them to sit down and talk.

"Anyway, at the banquet, you have to keep a low profile and don't talk too much with other people. Why don't you stay with me, right?" Liu Xun blinked at Luo Lang.

Roland: "Your Majesty, everything you said is right."

Liu Xun held his chin: "Why do I feel that you are very dissatisfied with me? Did I provoke you again?"

The corner of Roland's mouth twitched.There are two strangers beside me, can you hold them, Your Majesty?

Liu Xun: Yes, you see, I call myself "I".

Roland was discouraged.Forget it, if His Majesty could be more reliable, he wouldn't be thinking about running out.

Luo Lang sighed: "Your Majesty, I have no objection."

Liu Xun said: "Ah, no objection? That's great? Play the piano for me?"

Roland: "???"

Under Si Jun's disapproving gaze, Liu Xun coughed dryly and said, "I'm just joking. I know you very well, so I have nothing to say to you. You go find Xu He's chat area by yourself. Come on, you two this time You did well on the test."

Luo Lang ran to sit next to Xu He with a stool in a very obedient manner, as if he didn't want to pay attention to His Majesty the Emperor. That appearance was very arrogant, and Tanhua, who was next to him, was stunned.

Liu Xun said: "Don't be surprised, I know him very well, and I don't care about these superficial courtesy. Come, let's talk about the suggestions you two gave in the exam. The second place you say first."

Chu Tong immediately responded, and was about to talk eloquently when the attendants attracted a few more people.Among these people, Ji Si was there.

Liu Xun said: "Don't worry about it, let them listen too, so that they know where the difference is from you."

Chu Tong immediately continued to answer His Majesty's questions.

The other Jinshi were not treated as well as Yijia, and they all stood and listened.

When they were summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, they were still a little excited.Although I don't know what criteria His Majesty the Emperor uses to select candidates, they are very happy as long as they have the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit.

However, His Majesty's words were like a basin of cold water being poured over their heads, chilling their hearts.

Those who dare to take part in the first imperial examination are very proud in their hearts.Now being pointed at by His Majesty the Emperor and saying that they are not as good as others, it is impossible for them not to feel uncomfortable.

Liu Xun saw the expressions on their faces and was very curious.

Obviously they failed the exam, and the test papers were released. Don't they feel ashamed?Are they so blindly confident?

If this is the case, he really needs to be polished if he wants to use someone other than Yijia.

Although Xu He presented a reprinted test paper for Liu Xun to read, Liu Xun was familiar with the articles written by the top three and discussed with others many times. Strategies are recited backwards.

While explaining Liu Xun's question, Chu Tong was very proud and moved.

His Majesty the Emperor looked like this, obviously familiar with his own articles.Nothing pleases him more than this.

He felt that His Majesty the Emperor valued and respected him.

He was able to get into the second place in the exam, obviously the strategy presented was very appetizing to Liu Xun, he also put in a lot of hard work.

Chu Tong not only studied the policies issued by Liu Xun and Si Jun, but also the current policies in other places.More importantly, he is familiar with the topography of the northern Central Plains, and has profound research on the psychology of the people.The direction of his suggestions is how to win the Central Plains with less loss.

Every suggestion of Chu Tong is based on the local reality, not on his own fantasy.

After Liu Xun asked carefully, he praised: "Ji is a talented person, he can take office directly, and he doesn't need to be familiar with the government in Chengdu. I will send Ji Pei and Gongyu to Xuzhou, and you will go with them when the time comes. Both of them are talented People, you have to learn more and read more, and when it's time to make suggestions, you should also make suggestions."

Chu Tong immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Both Ji Heng and Ji Si were startled by the familiar name.

Their two imperial examinations, why did their father get reused first.

Seeing the two of them like that, Liu Xun laughed: "What kind of expression do you two have? Others don't know, so don't you two know Ji Pei's talent? I think maybe the two of you combined may not be as good as the two of you. Strong. Well, at least not now."

Ji Heng and Ji Si hurriedly thanked His Majesty the Emperor on behalf of their father.

Liu Xun waved his hand and said: "Thank you, he will thank you himself. Ji Si, do you know? Ji Pei wrote a letter to me, hoping not to give you an official position, and wants to take you to the office to sharpen your skills."

Ji Si lowered his head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Xun said: "He regretted it very much. Seeing that you are very talented and talented, he trusted you too much and neglected to discipline you. Your articles are well written, but you know little about practice. The direction Gang Jizhi mentioned is also the direction you chose. How much do you know about the topography of the Central Plains and the living conditions of the people he said?"

Ji Si's voice was even deeper: "I...don't know."

Liu Xun sighed: "Of course you don't know. With your talent, you are regarded as the honored guest by the aristocratic family. You are drunk with those aristocratic families every day, criticizing the darkness of the society. You say you don't want to see the miserable conditions of the people, so you really don't open your eyes to see it." You only know that the country is in crisis now, but you don’t know why, and naturally you don’t know how to save him.”

"Not only Jis, but all of you."

"You are all talented people, your articles are full of flowers, your ambitions are high, and you are eager to serve the country. But your articles are all general, not even general, just your own fantasy .”

"Farming, flood control, carts, horses, grain and grass... These are all cumbersome and mundane things in your eyes. It is not suitable for your elegant temperament to be fussy, but after you become an official, you do such fussy things."

"Jizhi's articles show that he once measured the land of the Central Plains with his own feet and witnessed the lives of the people. Your articles also show that you are living a romantic life."

Liu Xun looked at Ji Heng, and said: "Your father also talked about you. He said that he is not a good father who can educate his son. He valued Ji Si, but almost ruined Ji Si. He ignored you, but you Because others ignore you, you are more down-to-earth. I have heard that you have worked as a petty official in various departments, and you have also been on the battlefield with your father. You can draw a bow with both hands, and you are good at swordsmanship. This time you are Don't you want to go to Wuke?"

Ji Heng's eyes were red, and he said, "I want to go."

Liu Xun turned to Luo Lang and said, "Jiaxian, others can't compare to you in liberal arts, and you are also my chief bookkeeper. If your understanding of political affairs is not as good as that of people who haven't taken office, where will I lose face? But It’s not necessarily the case in martial arts. Maybe you will lose the double champion this time. How about it? Wu Tanhua to understand?”

Hmph, Xiao Mian, I don't want to be a Tanhua, but I will be a Tanhua in the end.

There was a fighting spirit in Luo Lang's eyes, he smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty said so, I should go all out."

Liu Xun said to Ji Heng: "You also work hard for me. I'm waiting for Luo Lang to be the prostitute. He looks so good-looking, how can he not be the prostitute?"

Ji Heng looked at Luo Lang dumbfounded, and then realized in his heart.

Well, Luo Zhuangyuan is indeed very good-looking, and it goes well with the name Tanhua, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor is obsessed with it.

Roland looked back with a smile.

His Majesty the Emperor values ​​you so much, I want to see how much you weigh, as if I have never been to the battlefield.

Liu Xun said: "Let's not talk about the bastard Jiaxiang, let me tell you what you can offer. You know the barbarians very well."

Ji Heng hurriedly said: "Know a thing or two."

Liu Xun said: "The minister once said that your strategy is too vicious, harmful to the peace of heaven, not in line with the style of a big country, and wants to lower your ranking. However, both Zijie and Zijie recommended you. Tianhe? A big country? The peace of a big country is for our own people. Instead of giving it to our enemies. He is as warm as the spring breeze to his own people and as cold as the winter wind to the enemy. This is a good official. I think they should reflect on it. This kind of mentality is unacceptable. I don’t want I hope that because of the wind of a great country, I miss the opportunity to fight, or let the tiger go back to the mountain. You remember the poem I gave you."

Ji Heng excitedly said: "I will remember His Majesty's instruction!"

Liu Xun nodded: "Your thinking is in place, but the means are still a bit poor. Indeed, destroying their place can indeed break their roots, but we can't please. Why do you say that the initiative to attack the barbarians is What about militarism? Because our wars are pure consumption and useless. But why is no one talking about militarism when I regained lost ground? Because winning the war and seizing the territory will benefit.”

"The same land, the same people, are essentially the same. As long as the land can be cultivated, we can cultivate it; the land that can only be grazed, we can also graze; even if it is a dead land, it may be a strategic place, or the following It is rich in mineral deposits."

"And if we really don't want to occupy their place, we can pay them what they want. If we don't pay in full, we will add interest and pay part of it every year. This money is enough for us to do many things. I think they In order to keep the throne, you will be very happy to pay us compensation."

"After all, the money still comes from their common people. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem, right?"

"If they exploit too much and the people are in dire straits, they just overthrow their emperor and replace them with those we support..."

Liu Xun was eloquent, and the more he talked, the more slippery he was, the eyes of the ancients around him became wider and wider, and their mouths became wider and wider, and their jaws were about to dislocate.

Si Jun raised his forehead.In this regard, Liu Xun was too impressed by Su Yi, thinking about getting benefits from other countries every day, and maybe someone would come to help the people at the bottom to overthrow the top, and ask them to submit to the big man or something.

Su Yi did this before when he followed Mu Yan to conquer Goguryeo.

He let the army do nothing wrong, beat up the local tyrants, divided the land, and publicized that Goguryeo and Huaxia were one family a hundred years ago, and we are all Chinese people, and organized the people who got the land to build a city guard to protect the city that was taken down.

Because Goguryeo has always advertised that their ancestors came from China, and they also used Chinese characters. The common people originally thought that they belonged to the same family as the Huaxia Dynasty, and their king was a vassal of the Huaxia Dynasty.The people already have a sense of belonging to the Huaxia Dynasty.

Needless to say, this result.

Now Liu Xun has followed suit and started to fool his own people.
