The disciple reported inside, and the one who got the news was Jian Qu, who had just come out. He smiled a little surprised and thought: "Although my lord is now as high as a prince, he has more foundation than when he first entered the capital, but his foundation is still shallow. If you ask someone to pay homage, it might be useful."
talent?"
"Maybe we can meet."
The highest level of the lord's staff who came to the capital could only be a candidate. Thinking of this, Jian Qu said: "Let me see the general in the Little Flower Hall."
With that said, he went to the Little Flower Hall first. By then, the guards had already invited Bai Juren in.
As soon as the two met, Jian Qu secretly nodded.
Bai Juren has a bookish face, wears a half-worn robe, and has a temperament like green bamboo, which is very in line with the aesthetics of today's people.
This temperament alone made Jian Qu feel good about him. After he was seated and the two of them had a brief conversation, Jian Qu was overjoyed.
Otherwise, it is true that this person has something to say. Jian Qu has been in the southwest for many years and assisted the king. He can naturally tell whether what he said is general or talented.
"Mr. Bai is so talented!"
Moreover, Bai Juren also said that there were ancient books to be dedicated to the king. Jian Qu could naturally see that this person wanted to join his lord, and of course he didn't think there was anything wrong with dedicating books. It was a gift. He smiled and said, "Mr. Bai is willing.
Shall I take you to see the lord right now?"
Bai Lekang smiled: "Students can only ask for it!"
"That's good. The Lord is at the library. Mr. Bai will be here later. Jian will go and report to the Lord right now!" Jian Qu stood up and said.
Ordinary people came to pay their respects, but when they came to Jian Qu, they stopped him. It was not urgent. At most, they would report to the king afterwards, but the man in front of him was actually a talented person!
If such a person is not quickly gathered into the lord's bowl, who knows whether he will be attracted by other powerful people?
At that moment, Jian Qu went back excitedly.
Su Ziji was sitting in the room at this time, slowly digesting the contents of the four books. When he just opened his eyes, he heard Jian Qu's voice from outside: "Master, is it convenient now?"
This voice was full of joy.
Su Ziji got up and went out, and saw Jian Qu standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"What's the happy news?" Su Ziji asked in surprise.
Jian Qu happily said: "Today there is a person who came to see you. He is from Yanzhou City. His name is Bai Lekang. He is a member of a squire family. He is only in his early thirties, but he speaks meaningfully and has a beautiful mind. He is a good talent.
, you’ll know it as soon as you see it!”
"Really?" Su Ziji was very happy after hearing this. Finally, someone accepted him and bowed: "Let's go, Mr. Wen, we'll go right away."
When he looked up and saw Wen Xunpeng, he asked him to come with him.
Wen Xunpeng wanted to speak, but after a moment of pondering, he followed. When he arrived at the small flower hall, he saw a person inside, standing in front of the wall, looking at something, as if he was lost in thought.
This was a man in his early thirties. Su Ziji glanced around and nodded secretly. His temperament was not bad, but he didn't know if it was as beautiful as Jian Qu said.
After meeting and chatting for a while, Bai Lekang praised: "Your Majesty cleans up the prostitution temple and cleans up the atmosphere in the capital. It is true that the merits will last for a long time. Not only this time, the people will also benefit from the King. It is really admirable to the students!"
Su Ziji smiled and shook his head: "This is the emperor's decree. Xiao Wang is just executing it. I am too serious about my words. I don't dare to covet the merits of heaven."
"Your Majesty is really humble." Bai Lekang changed his words: "It's just that Your Majesty's current campaign is only treating the symptoms and is still a minor issue."
"Small place?" Su Ziji was startled, a little surprised, and asked: "What about big place?"
"The big point is that it can't just be superficial. If you want to cure the symptoms, you have to make the gods make a covenant and join the imperial ceremony. This is the true source."
With that said, Bai Lekang opened the small wooden box he was carrying, took out a volume from it, and handed it over: "These are eleven articles written by students. I hope they can be helpful to the king."
"...It's a little too hasty." Su Ziji thought this way, and took it with a little disappointment. He opened it and looked at it, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
These eleven items are well written and insightful.
"Is it possible that this person does have real talent, but he just doesn't understand the rules of officialdom?"
But when the words came to his mouth, he felt something was wrong, so he gave the scroll to Jian Qu. Jian Qu was a little shocked when he heard it. Now he took it and read it, and his eyes became brighter.
This is a great talent!
After Wen Xunpeng read it, he just licked his lips, thoughtfully, and said nothing.
Su Ziji's eyes fell on Wen Xunpeng and asked: "Mr. Wen, do you have any ideas?"
Wen Xunpeng hesitated for a moment: "I also think it's very good. I have nothing to add...but is it too fast?"
It can be said that the eleven articles have thought of all the details of the restriction of the gods, and listed them in every box. There is nothing that needs to be added.
Su Ziji seemed very serious. After listening silently, he asked again: "Mr. Bai is a great talent. Please explain eleven points in detail to help Xiao Wang clear up his doubts!"
Bai Lekang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you have destroyed your students."
This Bai Juren responded repeatedly to Su Ziji's questions and made witty remarks. Even Wen Xunpeng nodded his head as he listened.
Bai Lekang was very proud to see that he had convinced the others.
Su Ziji was impressed on the surface, but after reading the first volume, his surprise was extinguished like cold water.
"Bai Lekang is full of witty words and his answers are all meaningful, but [The Way of Government] is only +5. This shows that no matter how good this person is, he actually has no talent, but is borrowing it from others."
If it weren't for the fact that the experience value can't be faked and shown clearly, Su Ziji wouldn't believe it. This person with outstanding temperament, rich words and eloquent words actually has no inner beauty and is just a mediocre person!
"Someone may teach you these eleven things, but not other knowledge. You can give it a try." Su Ziji remained calm and continued to talk. After going back and forth several times, he was determined.
"It turns out that this person was taught by someone. His knowledge is only average. No wonder he has not been a Jinshi for many years."
"Then who brought him to the door?"
Su Ziji smiled and said to Bai Lekang: "This matter is serious, so I would like to ask you, sir, to live in my house so that Xiao Wang can ask for more advice. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
When Bai Lekang saw that he had indeed caught the eye of the king and was invited to stay, he felt relieved and smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
When Juren smiled and agreed, Su Ziji was taken away to rest. Su Ziji sat motionless.
Jian Qu was the first to congratulate: "Your Majesty, there is another talented person in the palace today. I am very happy to congratulate you!"
Wen Xunpeng, however, was thoughtful and said with a sullen expression, "I'm afraid he may not be sincere in his service."
These words made Jian Qu stunned, but Su Ziji had already figured it out and smiled slightly: "Mr. Wen is right in his words. I am afraid that this strategy is a chain of tactics. I will act according to this strategy, fearing that even the results of King Lu will not be achieved."
."
King Lu was the emperor's biological son. The emperor once considered King Lu. Even if he made a big mistake, he still enjoyed the treatment of his biological son and was demoted from a prince to a county king.
King Lu was not comparable to the prince. Although he violated the emperor's bottom line, he did not pose a threat to the emperor.
As long as he is not threatened, the emperor can still be a loving father.
Su Zi's status is different. In name, he is the son of the prince. He is a generation away from the emperor and is only a grandson. What's more, he grew up in the countryside and had a grudge against the emperor for killing his father?
One can imagine what the emperor would do if Su Ziji really touched the emperor's bottom line.
