One hundred and forty-third chapter see people talk
"Everyone, please stay here for a moment. His Highness will receive you one by one in a moment!" A eunuch led Yan Yi and others to a palace, where he gave instructions and then left.
Entering the hall, Yan Yi found that there was already a person waiting here.
"I saw you all coming together in Zhou Yuan Zhou Yuan..." When this man saw Yan Yi and others coming in, he immediately stood up and introduced himself with fists clasped in his hands: "I once took the alias Zhang Jin and took part in the examination. I was lucky enough to be selected as the twelfth one!"
Zhou Yuan actually felt quite regretful at this moment.
His family has always been impartial and neutral, whether in court or in the palace.
Now he has rashly joined in the examination and has been involved in Liu De's camp.
After I go back, I might be scolded by my father!
However, now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in regretting it. We can only make peace with it as it comes!
Who doesn’t know that in the political arena, as long as you take sides, even if it is unintentional, you will immediately divide the camp!
Come when you want and leave when you want?
It's that simple!
This is not playing house!
This is a major event that affects one's wealth, life, and the rise and fall of a clan!
The only good thing is that the prince Liu De currently has a bright future and the potential to win the title.
"Is Your Excellency the son of Duke Zhou?" someone suddenly asked. His father's age is naturally not worthy of being called Weng, but who said that the saint of the world is the Duke of Zhou? It is a taboo for honorable people, so others basically call him Weng.
His father is Zhou Weng.
Zhou Yuan was surprised. Because he had been fond of arithmetic and medicine since he was a child, Zhou Yuan had been studying in Guanzhong and Guanxi all year round. Very few nobles knew that a person like him existed.
Zhou Yuan looked over and saw the man showing his white teeth. He smiled and bowed to him: "I've met Brother Shi..."
Seeing that Zhou Yuan was puzzled, he introduced himself: "My father and your father once worshiped Senior Xu Gong together in the past and studied Huang Lao's theory..."
When he said this, Zhou Yuan immediately felt happy. The two of them had a friendship from the same family for their fathers, and now they are ministers in the same palace. They are really natural allies!
As a result, the others also informed each other of their names, origins and family backgrounds. Then they each found a seat and sat down, waiting calmly for Liu De's summons.
However, the seats each found were quite interesting.
Gu Zhenrou, Zhou Yuan, Jin Shi, Wu Lu, Wei Xin, Gongsun He and others sat together unconsciously like magnets.
Yan Yi, Ning Cheng, Sima Xiangru, Zhu Fuyan, Zheng Shi and others sat on the other side very consciously.
Class is like an invisible river, dividing these twelve people into two groups.
Liu De stood in front of the small window at the door, looked at it, and said nothing.
This is just the beginning. Next, political opinions, schools of thought, ideas, and interests will completely disrupt the current structure of these people, and they will naturally be divided into small hills.
Liu De didn't want to stop it at all.
Healthy internal competition helps improve work efficiency.
As the superior, he only needs to control and strictly prohibit malicious attacks and strife.
At the same time, he also wanted to practice with these twelve people to see how his control skills and abilities were.
If he couldn't deal with these twelve people, he thought he could just go to sleep and stop thinking about being a prince or an emperor.
"Summon..." Liu De ordered Wang Dao.
"Who will pass it on first?" Wang Dao asked.
"Let's start from the first place..." Liu De waved his hand and said. Then he walked forward, preparing to receive him.
…………………………………………
Yan Yi was led by a eunuch and walked to a large hall.
"Your Highness, sir, is waiting here..." The eunuch helped Yan Yi open the door and explained, "I can only accompany you here..."
"Thank you for your work..." Yan Yi nodded slightly, and then walked into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, Yan Yi noticed that there was no one in the spacious hall. Only at the top of the hall sat a young man wearing a crown that symbolized the status of the prince.
This young His Highness is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he is immature, he is full of energy and looks quite heroic.
"Your Majesty, Yan Yi, pays homage to His Highness..." Yan Yi bowed quickly.
"Sir, please get up..." Liu De stood up, smiled slightly, and asked, "Mr. Yan, are you still used to it in Chang'an?"
"Thank you for Your Highness's concern, I am still used to it..." Yan Yi bowed again.
"I heard that your ancestor is Yan Hui..." Liu De asked: "Does your family still uphold these four words of respect, loyalty and trust?"
At that time, Yan Hui was about to go on a study tour. Before leaving, he asked Confucius for advice on what standards he should use as a guideline for himself. Confucius gave Yan Hui the four words "respect, loyalty, and trustworthiness". Liu De naturally knew this allusion.
"Go back to Your Highness, what our ancestors taught me, from generation to generation in my family, I dare not forget for a day!" Yan Yi bowed gratefully. This was the most proud thing in the education he had received since childhood.
It's his honor.
"That's very good!" Liu De smiled slightly, stepped down from his seat, held an official talisman and bowed to Yan Yi: "My Han family has always respected people who are respectful and loyal. I would like to pay my respects to you, Mr.
Sir, try your best to assist, make suggestions, and check for omissions!”
After saying that, Liu De bowed deeply to Yan Yi.
This made Yan Yi very moved, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Highness, please get up quickly, I can't believe that Your Highness has such high expectations!"
According to the Han tradition, if a piece of stone exceeds two thousand stones, the king must worship it.
The general, the prime minister, must be serious about his duties and go on stage to pay homage.
This is because the emperor of the Han Dynasty knew very well the importance of ministers with more than two thousand stones. Not to mention the nine ministers, even the governor of a county had the heavy responsibility of controlling the livelihood of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in a county, not to mention the important tasks on his shoulders.
The general and prime minister is responsible for the future of the military and the security of the country.
However, Liu De so solemnly asked Yan Yi, a small person like him, to be a little visitor, which made Yan Yi feel a feeling of being valued and paid attention to.
What literati need is this kind of spiritual food.
So Yan Yi kowtowed and said: "Now that I have been favored by His Highness, I must do my best to live up to His Highness's expectations!"
After hearing this, Liu De stood up, solemnly handed the official position representing the identity of the visitor to Yan Yi's hands, and said in a deep voice: "The visitor has a majestic manner. Check my gains and losses. If you see what I have omitted, be cautious at all times.
Now that you have received the seal, you should remember it carefully!"
"No!" Yan Yi bowed deeply and burst into tears of gratitude. He felt that he had finally met the Ming Lord, and for a moment he didn't know what he felt in his heart: "I must bear in mind His Highness's teachings and never dare to do anything.
Disappointment!"
Then, as if he were treating a priceless treasure, he gently took the visitor's talisman into his arms.
"Please go down..." Liu De looked at Yan Yi with encouraging eyes and said: "Ji An has the demeanor of an ancient gentleman. You will learn from Ji Qing first. The next day, I will entrust you with important tasks.
!”
"No!" Yan Yi bowed deeply, then bowed his body and exited the hall.
As soon as Liu De waited for Yan Yi to leave, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Talking to a gentleman is so tiring!
Fortunately, the next person will be easier to deal with!
"Summon Ning Cheng!" Liu De ordered Wang Dao who was standing at the door.
A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to benefit.
Ning Cheng should be easy to bribe!

Well, yesterday I agreed to update 4 chapters, but I only wrote 2 chapters. Although it was due to health reasons, it is only natural to pay back debts~
