[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

Xin Qiji's internship ended in May of this year.

Although he didn't do anything amazing in the Finance Institute, the work assigned to him never made mistakes. Even if he deliberately tried to find trouble with him, he couldn't find out the mistakes.

From May to July, he returned to Jiangyin to take care of the injured Liu Xi and concentrate on preparing for the CAT exam.

Although Liu Xi wanted to teach him some exam-taking skills, he felt pain when he moved, and spent most of his time recuperating and dealing with government affairs.

It's just that before falling asleep every night, You'an would go over to give him a goodnight kiss.

Restrained and gentle, it is also enough to satisfy the common desire of two people.

As long as I can kiss you, it seems that I don't need to be greedy for more.

These days, what Liu Xi did did not cause any waves on the surface, but it was also ruthless without leaving any room for it.

He directly used the opportunity of investigating the assassination case to liquidate the middle and high-level personnel in Jingzi Chemical and Shengyue Alloy. Whether he planted a frame or imposed criminal evidence, he cleared away nearly [-] managers involved in the case in a few months, and then put his own company The trustworthy people in the house changed hands and arranged for them to enter——

If there is a confrontation, it is impossible to directly clean up Hu Pingyu and Zhang Zhiye.

Even if they can fight back and assassinate them back, but the two obvious targets of them have been cleared away, and the new core figures will only hide deeper in the future.

Doing this now is just to strengthen supervision and express deterrence. He knows that some things cannot be completely reversed.

While adjusting the supervision of various enterprises, Liu Zi directly signed a new industrial promotion decree, publicly stating that in the next five years, it will fully promote the comprehensive integration of pharmaceutical, chemical, and textile industries in the three states of Haichusi. Development, put an end to monopoly and deliberately raising prices.

And Yangzhou City will continue to serve as the central core of the guards of the three states, and continue to expand the city's scale and functionality.

People at different levels and from different angles perceive things very differently.

Zhu Xi has been doing an internship in the Senate these days, and he also knows a lot of things overtly and secretly.

But You'an was too busy on weekdays, and he didn't even have time to have a meal with him and chat with him. If he wanted to inquire about news, he could only go to Kong Zhiyao.

Although Kong Zhiyao had to face one exam after another like Xin Qiji, and he was not sure whether he could succeed Li Luan, but he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of eating, chatting, fishing, and eating hot pot for a change. brain.

"What's the matter? Didn't you get carried away by reading philosophy in Jiangyin Middle School?" Kong Zhiyao poured a glass of beer for the two brothers, and said in a brisk tone: "The last time I wrote to you, there are many things that I can't think clearly. It seems that you have read a lot in Jiangyin in the past few years."

"I really didn't come to ask you about existentialism and nihilism today." Zhu Xi was silent for a few seconds, glanced at the crowded surroundings, and said in a low voice, "Now people are spreading rumors that the current head of state , is a dictator, isn't he?"

Kong Zhiyao was stunned for a few seconds, and the movement of pouring the wine froze in place, and he only said with a serious expression, "Please explain this matter clearly."

"You've been working overtime for too long, I'm afraid you're isolated from the world." Zhu Xi continued to observe whether anyone nearby was paying attention to them, and said in a low voice, "It's not about regulating and restricting private publications, and Jingzi Chemical and Shengyue Alloy have been severely punished." Have you got one?"

"Many people say that Liu Yuanshou... is an authoritarian and tyrannical dictator," Zhu Xi said with a disappointed expression on his face: "He even controls private publications so strictly. I used to be able to read some tabloids. But a hundred schools of thought contend."

Kong Zhiyao was stunned for a long time, but sat down slowly, holding back the many words in his heart.

He couldn't tell what the top management was fighting for, nor could he explain that Liu Xi had actually been assassinated——

According to my original official position, I couldn't get in touch with these things at all, and I was able to hear about these things only because I wanted to take over as the Minister of Construction, and I must enter the highest-level circle.

If he tells a series of secrets, Zhu Xi will understand everything.

The unequal information gap is really a headache.

"But... people? It's not enough, right?" He still rubbed his forehead and said, "Why is everyone spreading the word?"

"Maybe someone is guiding, or it may be that these public opinions have been circulating for too long." Zhu Xi just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and continued: "I even went to trace the source. The mayor was promoted to the head of state, there were too many shady scenes and exchange of interests, and he questioned his personal relationship with General Qian, saying that it was a military-state dictatorship."

"and then?"

"After Liu Xi bought Shuyuan, more people began to be dissatisfied, thinking that he wanted to expand his power to completely dominate the family, and said that today's Senate is probably [-]% of the surname Liu, he refused to lower the threshold of CAT and moral tests for the sake of hegemony, It's really about controlling all the newcomers."

Zhu Xi was quite clever, and he talked about things clearly and fluently. Kong Zhiyao didn't have much time for gossip and gossip, so he really didn't have access to a series of rumors.

With a long sigh, he suddenly resisted the position of Minister of Construction.

Dirty water was splashed on Li Luan's body.

Since the number of people in Yangzhou City has increased, many female officials have been questioned about having sex with the upper echelon. If they are promoted too quickly, they will even be criticized for sleeping all the way up.

But there are too many things to do, and he can't retreat.

"Brother Zhu, listen to me," Kong Zhiyao picked up a chopstick of beef balls, and said seriously, "Take this kind of rumors as a joke, no matter how many people spread them, don't pay attention."

"You mean..." Zhu Xi frowned slightly: "These are all fake?"

"But Shuyuan was indeed acquired by Yuanshou Liu. This is an open fact," he asked, "There is no way to clear up this matter, right?"

"Let me ask you, if you were Liu Xi, how would you deal with these rumors now?" Kong Zhiyao put down his chopsticks, only looked at him and asked, "Severely refute these rumors on the news station, and put all the dirty water one by one. Clean it up?"

"Shouldn't it be done like this?" Zhu Xi said emphatically, "Is it a good thing to let these discussions grow and just blindly restrict and delete them?"

"No, if it's a small-scale rumor, whether you move it or don't move it, it won't cause any loss or influence to you."

If you care about it, it will naturally hurt you.

"But if it's a rumor on a large scale," Kong Zhiyao said with a deep breath, "whatever you do is wrong."

"It's impossible," Zhu Xi shook his head and said, "The Qing is self-clearing. If these arguments that Liu Yuanshou is contaminated with are not clarified—"

"Brother Zhu, if I want to slander you as an illegitimate child and a libertine with a bad style, I have a hundred ways to prove my guess from countless details," Kong Zhiyao interrupted: "You can explain it It’s a deliberate cover-up, and if you don’t explain it, you’re acquiescing, even if you wear a piece of clothing made of good material, I can connect you with corruption and bribery—”

"At this time, do you want to explain to the whole world?"

Anything can be used as a weapon.

The sickness of the elderly can be transformed into a sharp knife for blackmail.

The danger of women being sexually harassed and assaulted can also be used as a gallows for blackmailing men.

What one defends and protects may at the same time be one of the perpetrators.

As for what the truth is, the vast majority of people are too lazy to dig out the cocoons to find out after taking a stand.

If a person is splashed with all kinds of dirty water such as sexually assaulting girls, plagiarizing others, and playing power, it is almost impossible to clean himself up.

Because the vast majority of people are only happy to pass on rumors, but rarely tell each other that something is a rumor.

"There are many things that I can't tell you." Kong Zhiyao drank the glass of wine and said in a hoarse voice, "But you need time and mind to touch the truth—if you care about the truth What is it?"

Zhu Xi looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a while he said: "I originally wanted to enter a research institute, write and argue for the rest of my life, and not ask about worldly affairs but only seek true knowledge."

"But... I always feel that to get in touch with the real 'Tao', you have to get in touch with a higher and brighter place."

"Light and darkness often coexist," Kong Zhiyao laughed: "You are welcome to the Senate."

Xin Qiji's CAT test will come out soon.

He stayed alone in the house of 1203, checking his exam results with Momo in his arms.

The total score is 620 points, and this year's score line is set at [-] one.

Xin Qiji scored 690 and [-] in the test, the highest score in this year's batch.

When the results came out, Liu Xi had already returned to Jiangyin for a meeting, and the secretary took over his mobile phone.

He looked at the announced results alone, and took a deep breath in silence for a moment.

Ethics test, interview, and then... you can officially enter the Senate.

For this moment, he had waited too long and paid too much.

The young man put down the tablet, stood in the empty living room for a moment, got up and washed his face.

In the mirror, his eyes were as clear as cold jade, without any impurities mixed in.

Liu Xi, you have never known what the answer to my unspoken sentence was.

We never talked about the word love, and no one dared to promise each other.

The world is changing too fast, and people's hearts are being played in wars and countless transactions.

Between the two of us, it seems that we are only greedy for momentary pleasure.

But Liu Xi, I am now admitted to the Senate, not just to realize my original ambition.

I am still eager to make the world prosperous and peaceful, so that the people will no longer suffer from homelessness, hunger and cold.

But in the same way, I also want to take you down from the high altar and bear all this instead of you.

When you asked, what should I give you in return.

Liu Xi, you have too much. The power and wealth that people yearn for are all so overwhelming that you can't breathe.

All I want to give you is freedom.
