The brilliance of the waning moon gradually disappeared into the daytime, and the light covered the earth... This year's winter seems to be more intermittent and fleeting. Since the fall of the dynasty last year, there has been no investigation.In the spring of a few years, many old ministers retired and returned to their hometowns, and there was a shortage of talents in the court, so Mu Yunxi ordered Xiao Chenyan to be Zhongzheng, responsible for scouting and recommending talents.

After coming down to court, Mu Yunxi returned to Shengchen Palace to suspend his studies, and all the political memorials were sent to the Prince Regent's Mansion for Mu Qianli to review first. up.

Although Mu Yunxi knew that this matter was inappropriate, he had no power in his hands and was just a puppet emperor, but now he knew nothing about political affairs, so he could only let Mu Qianli handle it.

He buried his head and looked at his hands this morning, and when he looked up, he saw Ling Shuyuan coming in from outside the hall. His appearance was so beautiful that even Xu Gong in "Zou Ji satirized the king of Qi and accepted advice" could not be compared to him. He was dressed in bamboo green clothes, so clean With half elegance, he was holding a book in his hand, and when he came, he also brought a breeze, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Join Your Majesty."

"Teacher, please get up quickly." Mu Yunxi said, Ling Shuyuan thanked Li and got up, walked to Mu Yunxi's desk, and helped him with his homework.After a while, Ling Shuyuan didn't get up and leave after homework instruction, but closed the book and said: "Your Majesty has ordered to recruit talented people, have you thought about what kind of talented people you want to recruit?"

"This..." Mu Yunxi shook his head. Although he made a decree to select talents, behind this decree was Mu Qianli's meaning, but he himself didn't think much about it.

"Your Majesty, the King Regent is now assisting the court, but one day, if you want to take charge of the government and handle political affairs, who will help you at that time?" Ling Shuyuan sighed softly, looked at Mu Yunxi and said solemnly: "Your Majesty now selects talents. You should know that in addition to his talent and learning, he should also look at his character. Some people's character is hidden behind. Your Majesty must have a pair of discerning eyes to distinguish loyalty and rebellion."

Mu Yunxi blinked his eyes, only felt that what Ling Shuyuan said was quite reasonable, he quickly stroked his sleeves, and humbly bowed down; "Please enlighten me, teacher."

Ling Shuyuan smiled gently: "I can't teach Your Majesty about this, I can only tell His Majesty one sentence, you should look at everything with your heart."

"Hardly..."

"It's getting late." Ling Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed his sleeves, and said: "I will take my leave first."

"Teacher, go slowly!" Mu Yunxi said respectfully, and was about to get up to see him off, but saw the palace door was pushed open, and a woman walked in with a food box. It was Concubine Shu Mu Yinque, and Mu Yunxi couldn't help but For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, Ling Shuyuan turned around, smiled slightly, saluted again, and walked out of the palace gate.

The sky had already darkened, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace street. Ling Shuyuan walked slowly to the outside of the palace gate. One or two solitary swallows passed by in the sky.

The carriage leaving the palace had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, when the groom saw him coming out, he rushed up to meet him, took the wat board in his hand, helped him straighten his clothes, and after everything was done, he helped him into the carriage and asked: "Young master, are you going back to the mansion now?"

"I won't go back for now." Ling Shuyuan said with eyes closed, opened the curtain and got into the carriage, and a cold voice came through the curtain: "Let's go to Xiao Mansion first."

The lanterns in front of the mansion swayed slightly in the warm spring breeze, and the study rooms in the mansion were still lit.

One person opened the door and came in. The person sitting at the table looked up, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately relaxed, and asked again: "Why is my nephew here?"

"Your Majesty ordered my uncle to be Zhongzheng, to scout out talents, is there a list of recommendations from adults now?" Ling Shuyuan walked in and said, the candles in the room flickered twice, Zhou Zao was dark and dull.

"You should come here on purpose." Xiao Chenyan said with a smile, and reached out to hand a booklet to Ling Shuyuan: "As you expected, Lu Shilang mentioned his son's name."

"He wants his son to take up an official career, but such a person is no different from the court." Ling Shuyuan lowered his eyes halfway, took the booklet and handed it to the candlelight: "I am not selfish."

"In the past few years, Lu Tingyan has been criticized by people outside. Not to mention that he forcibly snatched a peasant girl to be his concubine. Even the month before last, he went to the house to collect rent and beat a disabled person, which already cut off his official career. He did it himself. If you die, no one else can blame you." Ling Shuyuan stared at the flame in the candle with thin eyes, slowly eroding the booklet, and finally turned it into ashes.
