Liu Ling is somewhat interested in his attitude. This man has been imprisoned for many days, but it seems to have no effect at all. Liu Ling knows what to do to deal with such a person. You can fight hard with such a person.
It's pointless to be violent with him. Even if you break his legs, you won't be able to open his mouth.
"I wonder if you, sir, have had breakfast. If not, I will ask someone to bring it to you."
Liu Ling said with a chuckle.
Zhou Yangong waved his hand and said: "A man doesn't eat what he eats, so you don't have to be so pretentious."
Liu Ling secretly laughed, how did you survive these days if you didn't just eat the food you came here for? You look so fat and fat, but you have put on a lot of meat. Not only did you eat the food you came here for, I'm afraid you didn't eat less, but you also enjoyed it very much.
He didn't say anything, just sat opposite Zhou Yangong, picked up a book from the desk and started reading. This book was Sima Qian's Historical Records. Liu Ling had read it a long time ago, but he always liked it when he had nothing to do.
Turn over. Wei Zheng once said that using copper as a mirror can correct your clothes. Using history as a mirror can help you understand the ups and downs. Using people as a mirror can help you understand gains and losses. Reading more historical allusions will always be of great help to people in life.
In fact, he had seen Liu Ling on the street that day. Logically speaking, he should know Liu Ling. But unfortunately, this man was very short-sighted. At that time, he only heard that Liu Ling was present and did not see clearly who was Liu Ling.
Prince Zhong.
On the contrary, he had met Yue Qilin, and he would probably be hard-pressed to forget him for the rest of his life.
Zhou Yangong was arrogant and thought that Liu Ling was just a pretending servant. When Liu Ling didn't say anything, he continued to read deeply, and soon started shaking his head again. Liu Ling was actually very disgusted with this bad habit of scholars.
Why do you have to shake your head when you are reading? And you have clearly memorized it. It is really puzzling to do this.
However, Liu Ling calmed down quickly. Reading can calm his mind. Even in a noisier environment, he can be at ease. The sound of Zhou Yangong's reading has no impact on him at all. Moreover, Liu Ling can do two things at once.
As a monster, while reading, he was actually observing Zhou Yangong's every move with his senses.
The two of them were just exhausted, as if they were competing for determination. But this time Zhou Yangong was destined to lose. You must know that Liu Ling sitting in front of him was not only a general who had experienced battles on the battlefield, but also a general who had experienced many battlefield battles.
Prince Zhong, who single-handedly stabilized the government and reformed the government, was a monster with the wisdom of two generations in one. His opponent was far more than one level above him, so how could he compare to him?
Finally, after the two of them sat like this for an hour, Zhou Yangong couldn't stand it any longer.
"I said, why are you so unreasonable? After you came in, you only asked me if I had had breakfast and then never said a word again. What is your purpose here?"
Zhou Yangong put down the book in his hand and looked directly into Liu Ling's eyes and asked.
Liu Ling raised his head and glanced at him lightly, then lowered his head and continued reading. Zhou Yangong hit a soft nail, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to pick up the book and continue reading. But the sound of his reading became louder and louder.
The more chaotic it becomes, the catchy feeling it had before is no longer there.
After a while, Zhou Yangong put the book on the table, and the heavy sound showed that his mood was very confused at this moment.
"If you don't speak anymore, I will issue an order to expel you!"
Liu Ling didn't even raise his head this time, as if he was already immersed in the content of the book. Then Zhou Yangong asked for trouble, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, picked up the book and started reading again.
As time went by, Liu Ling had already read Volume 31 of the Historical Records: The Wu Taibo Family and Volume 32: The Qi Taigong Family. Calculating that the time was almost up, he stretched out and placed the book gently on the desk.
After putting it on the table, he stood up and said to Zhou Yangong: "Excuse me, take my leave."
These four words made Zhou Yangong feel like he was in a fog, and he was confused.
Liu Ling didn't wait for Zhou Yangong to speak, and walked towards the door. Now Zhou Yangong couldn't sit still anymore, got up and chased after Liu Ling and grabbed Liu Ling's clothes.
"No! You can't leave today unless you explain your purpose of coming!"
Liu Ling broke away gently, and said with a calm face: "I heard that Mr. Gentleman came to visit me because of his noble character. I saw that my wish was fulfilled today, so I left."
After saying that, Liu Ling walked away again.
Zhou Yangong took two steps and stopped in front of Liu Ling and said: "How can you tell that I have a noble character? You didn't ask me where I was from, you didn't lecture with me, and you never wrote poems or lyrics. How do you know that I am noble?"
?”
Liu Ling sighed: "It's better to be famous than to meet you. Let's go now."
The more he wanted to leave, the more Zhou Yangong refused. He just stopped him and asked why he was not as famous as the meeting? How can the character of a person be determined when the two of them didn't have much conversation?
Liu Ling just laughed it off and ignored it, determined to leave. Now Zhou Yangong was even more impatient. He stopped in front of Liu Ling and said: "You are not allowed to leave! You can't leave!"
Liu Ling raised her chin and asked with playful eyes: "Why?"
Zhou Yangong gritted his teeth and said: "At the very least, you have to tell me who you are, otherwise you will never leave!" After he said this, he suddenly froze, and came over to take a closer look at Liu Ling, and suddenly his expression changed.
He fell to his knees with a thump.
"Caomin Zhou Yangong, pay your respects to the prince!"
Liu Ling laughed loudly and said: "Gong Zhou Yan, if you fail to guess this king again, then I will kick you out of Prince Zhong's palace without mercy!"
Liu Ling stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Yangong up, and said with a smile: "It depends on what you mean, it seems that many people have come to talk to you these days and tell me."
Liu Ling walked back to the desk and sat down and said.
Zhou Yangong stood aside respectfully and gave a rough summary of his experiences these days. Naturally, he hid some of Liu Ling's disrespect and only said that he was very resentful. Liu Ling burst out laughing after hearing this.
I never realized that the servants in my house are also fun and wonderful people.
Liu Ling smiled and asked: "That day you satirized me and said that a major case turned into a farce. I, Liu Ling, was just a reckless man. It seems that you have a lot of opinions on that matter. Tell me."
Zhou Yangong knelt down again with a plop, touched his head to the ground and said: "Your Majesty makes atonement, and the common people deserve death."
Liu Ling chuckled and said, "Get up and talk. If I wanted to punish you, could I keep you here until today? I would have taken you to the city gate, chopped you up and fed it to the dogs. If you have any ideas, just tell me.
If you can't satisfy me, the knife at the city gate will be given to you sooner or later."
Zhou Yangong trembled with fright, and after arranging his words, he said: "The common people think that there must be something fishy about this case." At that moment, Zhou Yangong explained his reasoning exactly. What Liu Ling appreciated was that Zhou Yangong
I just saw a short clip and was able to deduce the situation very accurately. He is obviously a thoughtful person.
Liu Ling listened quietly to what he said, nodded and said, "Since you have such insight, you are not a reckless person. You ridiculed me on the street that day, probably because you wanted to attract my attention."
Zhou Yangong trembled, but before he could speak, Liu Ling continued: "It's a good idea, you succeeded."
He patted Zhou Yangong on the shoulder and said, "However, if it had been anyone else, I'm afraid you wouldn't be as cheap as just a beating."
Zhou Yangong smiled coquettishly and said: "The common people have learned about the prince's character in detail, and they think there will be no big problem in doing so. If the official is replaced by an unknown official, there is no need for the common people to take this risk."
What he said was so honest that Liu Ling was dumbfounded.
You might say this person is reckless. Judging from his analysis of the case, his reasoning is very precise and the details are very reasonable. This shows that he is thoughtful and flexible. But if you say he is smart, he chose such a stupid way to recommend himself.
, in Song Dandan’s words, it’s just a matter of finding the type of person who has nothing to do.
Liu Ling said: "So, I have to thank you for your recognition?"
Zhou Yangong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty makes atonement. It is extremely difficult for Zhou Yangong, a common man, to recommend himself. As a common man, let alone display his talent in front of the Prince. I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to meet the Prince. He is really forced to do so.
.Finally met the prince on the street, and ordinary people would never miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
He said with a supportive face: "What the prince did at that time was actually right. Duke Yan admired the prince's calmness and decisiveness at that time. If it had happened at that time, I am afraid that nothing would be found if he tried to find out."
Liu Ling said: "Don't be afraid of my flattery. If you recommend yourself in this way, it is far from enough to attract my attention. Tell me, what other abilities do you have?"
Zhou Yangong said solemnly: "The common people want to give the prince something!"
"oh?"
Liu Ling said: "What?"
Zhou Yangong said seriously: "The common people dare not say that this thing belongs to the Qianqiu Sheji, but if it can be fully realized, it should not be difficult to protect my Han Dynasty for a hundred years!"
Liu Ling frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou Yan, you have such a loud tone!"
Zhou Yangong smiled proudly and said: "If you don't believe it, Your Majesty, you should read it first before speaking."
Zhou Yangong took out something from his arms. It was about 20 centimeters long, and it turned out to be a book. The book didn't look new, and the cover was quite damaged. Liu Ling took it and looked at it.
Only then did I realize that this book was probably sewn together by the author himself using needle and thread.
There were only four words on the cover. The writing style of these four words was ordinary and ordinary, and it could only be regarded as neat at best. But the meaning of these four words shocked Liu Ling's heart.
A general guide to official administration
Four words that are so grand!
Liu Ling was immediately attracted by these four words. Officials' Tongjian, as the name suggests, is a summary of the administration of officials in past history. It should talk about how to be an official and how to govern officials. Liu Ling opened it and looked at it.
I was immediately attracted by the content.
Zhou Yangong said from one side: "Your Majesty, this book is the summary and reasoning made by the common people based on the failed experience of officials after ten years of consulting a large number of historical books and ancient books. Although the common people dare not say what is in this book,
What he said is correct, but every stroke and every painting is the work of ordinary people with painstaking efforts."
Liu Ling nodded and pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit."
Zhou Yangong looked at it and wanted to speak again but found that Liu Ling was already addicted to the book. Zhou Yangong smiled proudly. Liu Ling's performance was undoubtedly an affirmation of him.
In this book, Zhou Yangong collects the mistakes made by nearly five hundred famous ministers and heroes during the period from King Wen of Zhou to the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and summarizes these mistakes. If this thing is released,
It is not a difficult thing to do in modern society. You can find thousands of answers just by searching on the Internet. However, it was very difficult to complete such a work in those troubled times.
You must know that when students were studying, they rarely touched on these things. Even the children of the royal family did not necessarily know that so many historical figures were from that era, let alone Zhou Yangong, a descendant of a poor family. The book records it in detail
There are more than five hundred people in each person's life, the most successful things and the most failed things. Each one is very detailed. With Zhou Yangong's status, you can imagine how difficult it is to find these things. (
