Yuzhenzi felt that his death was coming, and was in a panic. He just wanted to say something random to relieve the fear deep in his heart: "I have been serving your highness for a few days. I see that you are a person who loves talents. Why don't I recommend some talents to you?" Talent, how about it?"
Ying Zheng rested his head on his hands and looked at him impeccably.
Yu Zhenzi seemed to have received encouragement and kept talking: "I once had a neighbor who was from the Song Dynasty. He was learned and rich, and he was well-spoken, comparable to Guan Zhong Leyi!"
As soon as he said this, before Ying Zheng could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled disdainfully.
"Is there anyone in the Song Dynasty who can compare with Guan Zhong Leyi?"
As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that Lao Zhu was confused. He smiled and explained to him: "It's not the Song Dynasty that was beaten by the neighbors. It's the Song Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States jokes collection."
Liu Che: "...these two seem to have similar international images, so no one should laugh at the other, right?"
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin admired the poetry of the Song Dynasty very much, and as he was a Zhao Gou in his life, he could not help but defend him: "Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan... the writing style of the Song Dynasty was still very prosperous."
Liu Che and Zhu Yuanzhang were silent for a moment, both speechless.
Only Li Yuanda, who came from another dimensional world, asked enthusiastically: "There are so many celebrities who can be appreciated by the people of the world, so this Song Dynasty must be very strong, right? Why didn't you see it?" Their founding monarch?”
Li Shimin: "..."
Liu Che & Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
God, good, so embarrassing!
This feeling of seeing my good-for-nothing brother pooping in front of the guests!
Li Shimin quietly changed the topic: "The wind is very noisy today..."
Liu Che & Zhu Yuanzhang: "Yes, yes, the wind is a bit strong..."
Ying Zheng was inevitably slightly distracted when he heard them talking and joking in the space.
Yu Zhenzi looked at him carefully, as if he was not very interested in this brother who was born in the Song Dynasty, so he immediately changed his target: "There is another person from the Zheng Dynasty who is good at astronomy and calendar. , the talent and learning are unparalleled in the world!"
Ying Zheng: (indifferent)
Yu Zhenzi: "There is also a great painter who is famous far and wide!"
Ying Zheng: (indifferent)
Yuzhenzi: "There is another one with excellent poetry and the sound of gold and stone!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Tell me something interesting."
Yu Zhenzi recommended people several times, but was rejected every time, and she was a little anxious.
After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said: "I once saw a strange man in the capital of the Zhou Kingdom. He was a general. He had tens of thousands of enemies. His strategy was unparalleled and he had the courage to sweep thousands of armies..."
Ying Zheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Do you have the confidence to say this?"
Yu Zhenzi: "... everything the villain said is true!"
Ying Zheng opened the car curtain out of boredom, glanced out, and saw that there was still some distance to go before arriving, so he patiently said a few more words to him: "How could I not know about such a famous general? He has thousands of enemies. Thousands of people, which battle has he presided over?”
Yuzhenzi's face showed a bit of embarrassment: "He, he hasn't been on the battlefield yet..."
Ying Zheng laughed angrily: "Then where did this so-called enemy of tens of thousands of people come from? He named it himself? Arrogant!"
Yu Zhenzi was speechless: "But I think he really has some skills."
When Ying Zheng saw his expression, he was somewhat interested. Yu Zhenzi had known him for several days and his words were quite reliable. Otherwise, it would be better to have someone weigh this person's quality.
After a second thought, I felt something was wrong: "If he is really such a peerless genius, why did you talk about a few people first and then talk about him last?"
Yu Zhenzi visibly shrank: "Well..."
Ying Zheng said coldly: "Say!"
Yuzhenzi was cruel and told the truth: "Although this man is talented, he is also arrogant. Some people have recruited him in the past, but he was rejected. He said that only the king of a country may be the king of the country. Only the Crown Prince is qualified to recruit him, but no one else is qualified to visit him."
With such high standards, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Huh?!"
After coming back to his senses, he laughed angrily: "Am I not worthy of recruiting him now?"
"no no!"
Yu Zhenzi was sweating profusely and hurriedly added: "If you treat him like a teacher, prepare the etiquette and specifications for recruiting talents, and bathe and change clothes three days in advance, you can still recruit him. of!"
Ying Zheng: "Huh?!"
Ying Zheng changed his color on the spot and said with displeasure: "No one is worthy of letting me do this!"
Before Yuzhenzi could say anything, Liu Che coughed in the space and said in a strange way: Ouch, who failed in the conquest of Chu and drove overnight to shake people? Oh, it turns out it’s you, the First Emperor! "
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "Oh, who pulled General Wang's sleeve to apologize, saying that he was blinded by lard in the past and regretted it? Oh, it turns out to be you, the First Emperor!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "Oh, who is it that keeps pestering others, saying that although you are sick, how can you bear to leave me? Oh, it turns out to be you, the First Emperor!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
The fist is hard!
However, when big things happened, he became annoyed, but at the critical moment, he knew what was important and what was important.
Although Liu Yezhu's words were annoying, they did wake him up.
——"He can be called a general, he can defeat tens of thousands of people, his strategy is unparalleled, and he has the courage to sweep thousands of armies." I think it must be Wang Jian who he relies on as his arm!
When Ying Zheng thought of this, his tone softened a lot. He couldn't wait to grab Yu Zhenzi's sleeves and said with bright eyes: "That person's surname is Wang, with a single name and a Jian character?!"
Yu Zhenzi shook his head blankly: "...not really."
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Huh?!"
Yu Zhenzi: "..."
Ying Zheng stared at him for a long time, and then said with another glimmer of hope: "Is it called Bai Qi?"
Yuzhenzi faced the hopeful gaze of the sixth prince and shook his head with difficulty: "...No, it's not."
Ying Zheng: "..." (with a bad expression) (with a fierce look in his eyes)
Yu Zhenzi: "..." (trembling) (dare not look up)
Yu Zhenzi tried his best to pretend as if nothing had happened and scratched his head: "Your Highness, do you still want to bathe and burn incense to visit this person? I can introduce you... to you..."
At the end of the sentence, his voice dropped as he looked at the Sixth Prince's murderous eyes.
Ying Zheng gave the blind man a wink, tried his best to control the urge to smash his car, smiled and said: "Get out!"
Chapter 212
There was a feast going on at the father-in-law's house.
The emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor. He showed extraordinary talent and outstanding wisdom when he was young. He was appointed as the crown prince by the late emperor very early. The queen was able to be selected by the late emperor to become the crown prince. Apart from her outstanding In addition to personal qualities, a strong maternal family is also a very important reason.
——At least when the late emperor was in power, the old aristocracy was still a component of the country's top power almost second only to the clan.
Time has changed, and with the succession of the emperor and the rise of the military nobles, the status of the old nobles has inevitably been shaken.
But there is no doubt that at this moment, they still occupy the richest land in the country, have the most wealth and population, and rely on the glory of their ancestors and their bloodline that can be traced back to the period of the Yan and Huang Emperors. , looking down condescendingly at this group of emerging nobles who had not yet wiped the dirt off their legs.
How can a low-class person who doesn't even know the name of his great-grandfather have the right to be equal to me?
There are also many emerging nobles who pay heavily to marry the daughters of the old nobles, in order to promote themselves to the top and integrate into them.
Generational marriages and even the interest relationships between the old and new nobles made it extremely difficult to clean up this huge and bloated interest group.
It is true that Gongsun Yi had the talent of a prime minister, and with the surrender of Gaolinghou and his son, he opened a channel and made some achievements. However, if he wanted to completely overthrow him and sweep him into the trash can of history, he still failed at this time. There is nothing you can do.
Today is the birthday banquet of the father-in-law. As one of the leaders of the old aristocracy, almost all the nobles from the capital are here. Even the emperor who targeted him specifically issued a decree to reward him, setting off an uproar. Jiang Maoyan, the Prime Minister of the Reform Movement, personally came to congratulate him, which shows his greatness.
At this time, Ying Zheng came here unexpectedly with several guards and an alchemist.
When the abbot received the summons from his attendants, he was talking to several distinguished guests in the main hall. The guests included but were not limited to Prime Minister Jiang Maoyan, Minister Tang Yikang, the eldest son of the grandson Emperor, and even the eldest son of the uncle of the emperor, King Song, who was the representative of the clan...
All are famous figures.
Being able to stay in the political arena for decades, the headmaster's mental structure is not as simple as that of the eldest son of the emperor. Even if the sixth prince came without sending a greeting card beforehand, which seemed particularly rude, he did not show it at all.
At that moment, he said in a friendly manner: "You stupid thing, why don't you go and invite His Highness to the table?"
He also urged his cronies: "Set a table to one side of His Royal Highness, the eldest son, and prepare tea and fruits. Don't delay!"
Everyone at the table had different expressions.
The eldest son of the emperor will inevitably show his displeasure - for the birthday of the head of the country, prominent people in the capital will receive the invitations a few days in advance. Those who are interested will send someone to reply, so that the host will know how to prepare.
Lao Liu accepted the post but didn't say he was coming. Today he suddenly showed up and came so late. It was undoubtedly extremely rude.
If it were someone else's house, the eldest son of the emperor would immediately have an outburst - it was his fault, but today was his maternal grandfather's birthday, and the old man had never had an outburst. Of course, he didn't want to disrupt the situation, so he had to endure it. go.
Prime Minister Jiang Maoyan also felt that the sixth prince's trip today was a bit rash. Thinking about his personality, he felt that there was going to be a big show today. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the expressions of everyone at the table with a half-smile.
Especially Tang Yikang, who was sitting next to him and was also the prime minister.
The abbot has never been angry. Firstly, he is very magnanimous. Secondly, I am afraid it is also because Tang Shizhong is here. There is no need to speak, so naturally someone will open his eyes on his behalf, right?
What, you don’t know who Tang Shizhong is?
This is the warrior who made an outspoken remonstrance when the emperor was obsessed with beauty and neglected the government, and threw the whole concubine into the abyss in one fell swoop.
Back then, he dared to directly offend the emperor. How could he be afraid of the sixth prince today?
Speaking of which, since the sixth prince gained the attention of the emperor, many people have mentioned this matter in front of Tang Yikang intentionally or unintentionally - who knows how the sixth prince will treat this person once he ascends the throne. ?
Jiang Maoyan went to see the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty again.
Hey, he is quite like his father, smiling politely and not distinguishing between joy and anger.
Looking at his colleagues, the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as those of the Crown Prince of Song.
Hey, Jiang Maoyan couldn't help but cursed in his heart - they are all old foxes!
Ying Zheng led his people to the principal's house. After the attendants announced their identities, the attendants from the principal's house led the way to the main hall to meet the master.
