The palace, main hall.
Li Ziye used his eloquent skills steadily as always.
In this era, it is really difficult to get to the top with talent.
Marching and fighting can be better. Things like military exploits are much clearer than writing and writing. If you accumulate enough, you can be promoted.
However, civil servants like Xu Hanlin have no background. If they want to be promoted, they must look at their ability to communicate with others.
Obviously, Xu Hanlin, who has an old-fashioned personality, is not good at this.
It can be said that the more excellent the people who come from Taixue Palace are of good character, the less suitable they are for officialdom.
It's not that the things taught in Taixue Palace are wrong, but that the entire officialdom is sick.
Scholars who came out of Taixue Palace were either assimilated into the officialdom, or spent their whole lives doing nothing, and it was difficult to change anything.
After all, there are only a few people in the world who are as strong-willed as Li Ziye and who are good at calculating people's hearts to the extreme.
This was also the biggest reason why Confucian scholars chose Li Ziye. His vision and knowledge were unparalleled. At the same time, he could not stick to means. When necessary, he even dared to do some things that the world considered to be rebellious and unethical.
Extreme martial arts masters are common, and there has been only one helmsman of the Li family who single-handedly promoted the rise of the Li family for thousands of years.
"Your Majesty."
In the main hall, Xu Hanlin thought about it for a long time, bowed his hands and said, "I am willing."
Li Ziye heard the promise from the person in front of him, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said seriously, "Brother Hanlin, don't worry, you don't have to worry too much after you sit in the position of Jingmu, you can do whatever you want, if anyone tries to trip you up Son, I will help you solve it."
Xu Hanlin's eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "My lord, why do you want to help me like this? Is it just because of my father?"
"Isn't this reason enough?"
Li Ziye asked, "If fellow disciples don't support each other, what's the point of being a disciple? Besides, Brother Hanlin has enough ability, he just lacks an opportunity."
Hearing this, Xu Hanlin thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand."
"In the future, if Brother Hanlin meets someone with the same problem, he can also choose to support him. Fairness, but relatively speaking, there is never absolute fairness in the world."
Li Ziye picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued, "Only incompetent people will constantly complain about the injustices around them and blame others. Brother Hanlin, look at the martial kings of Dashang. Although most of them are from powerful families, , which one of them has not made great achievements in war, and which one has not fought in the bloody battlefield for decades for the big businessmen, but are they self-proclaimed high-ranking ministers who are seeking fame and reputation? What have they done for the common people of the big businessmen? Incompetence is more terrifying than greed, because they are not only If you don’t do anything, you will be disgusting all the time.”
Xu Hanlin heard the former's words, and his heart was filled with waves.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention and said something I shouldn't have said."
Li Ziye looked at the shocked look in front of him and said with a smile, "Brother Hanlin, I will fight for you with this position of Jingmu. Just wait for the news. In addition, there are some clues about the aunt's matter now. You go back Finally, I told Master Xu not to worry too much, as long as there is any progress on my side, I will send someone to tell him immediately."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing that there was hope for his mother, Xu Hanlin, who had always been calm, now had a look of emotion on his face. He immediately stood up and saluted respectfully again.
"Brother Hanlin, don't be so quick to salute."
Li Ziye looked at the former and said with a smile, "I really don't want to get up to help you anymore, just sit down."
"Um."
Xu Hanlin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and sat down again.
"Brother Hanlin, I want to ask out of curiosity."
After talking about the business, Li Ziye asked casually, "Are you planning to let your children inherit the inheritance of Xu Zu's lineage?"
"When Yun'er grows up, let him make his own decision."
Xu Hanlin sighed softly and responded, "Actually, I hope he can continue Xu Zu's legacy. After all, I, as a father, have already let my father down."
"Inheriting something like this is both a blessing and a burden."
Li Ziye felt the same and said, "Brother Hanlin is not wrong. Everyone has the right to choose, and Yun'er is the same."
At this point, Li Ziye paused and said, "By the way, you can bring Yun'er to the mansion to play when you have time. I haven't met my nephew yet, so I'm really curious."
"If there is a chance, I will definitely let Yun'er come to pay homage to the prince." Xu Hanlin nodded and responded.
While the two were talking, Yu Qingxuan sat quietly on his knees, pouring tea and water for the two of them, without saying a word from beginning to end.
"Qingxuan."
After chatting for about half an hour, Li Ziye looked outside and ordered, "They are almost here. Let's go out and do things."
"yes!"
Yu Qingxuan responded respectfully, stood up and left immediately.
"Brother Hanlin."
After Yu Qingxuan left, Li Ziye put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "King Yunyi, you can show some respect appropriately. His attitude is very important whether you can be promoted to the position of Jing Mu."
"Um."
Xu Hanlin nodded slightly and agreed.
"Don't mention today's matter to others."
Li Ziye said calmly, "People are jealous. There are too many people watching Jingmu's position. Before His Majesty convicts him, everything will change."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't mention today's matter to anyone." Xu Hanlin nodded.
"Brother Hanlin, from now on, be prepared for constant trouble."
Li Ziye reminded, "As long as I come forward to help you win the position of Jingmu, all the officials in the court will regard you as one of my people. At that time, those officials headed by Hai Qinggong will definitely make trouble for you from time to time. This It's inevitable, but don't worry too much, as long as I'm still here, they won't dare to go too far."
While the two were talking.
In the front yard of the mansion, more than a dozen girls were sent into the mansion. Xiao Xiao was among them, looking at the luxurious mansion in front of her with big eyes. Soon, her eyes locked on the young figure in the main hall in the distance.
Brother Li is scheming again?
In front of a dozen girls, Yu Qingxuan looked at the rosters of several people and immediately began to allocate quotas to each house.
"Xiao Erniu."
When Yu Qingxuan saw this domineering name, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said, "Go to the backyard and wait on me."
When several girls around heard this arrangement, they all showed envy on their faces.
Entering the backyard means you have more opportunities to get in touch with the prince. If you are attracted by the prince, you will fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Xiao Xiao also felt the envious eyes of several people around her, and a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.
She likes to play with Brother Li the most!
Those deceitful disciples are either too incompetent or too stupid, but Brother Li is the most powerful.
In the main hall, the two chatted for a long time. Xu Hanlin stood up and left. Li Ziye personally delivered it to the house, and then hurried back to the house.
Big trouble is coming, and he has to stabilize it himself.
That girl Qingxuan definitely can't handle it.
