"This... this, this..."
The young commander of the Forbidden Army subconsciously glanced at the tavern, and a strong curiosity arose in his heart. Who is it that can make Mr. Shen blush?
"Brothers, take this person down for me!"
The young commander didn't care too much. How could it be so simple for someone who could attract such attention from Mr. Shen?
They even had to go to the imperial court and arrest the person first.
A group of forbidden troops were about to rush into the tavern when they saw three well-dressed figures walking out of the tavern. The leader was a rich and noble nobleman with a playful smile on his face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Excellency?"
"hehe!"
"Who wants to capture my people?"
Facing Ning Fan's teasing gaze, the young commander of the Forbidden Army almost burst into tears. Who did he provoke?
He is just a small commander of the imperial army, but one of them is the current prince, and the other is the current prime minister. How can he, a small warrior, provoke him?
"Your Highness, what is going on?"
"It's nothing, just a little misunderstanding. You can continue patrolling!"
"promise!"
After hearing Ning Fan's words, the young commander felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly left with his troops. However, Shen Li's eyes widened and he pointed at Ning Fan, speechless for a long time.
"Mr. Shen, I don't necessarily have to take him back to Huainan!"
"It's just...Shang Yang is now dressed in white. If he wants to stand out and reform the government, he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse?"
"Why don't you go back with me first and make some achievements? Then it will be a matter of course for you to return to the court!"
Shen Li immediately stepped forward and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I have seen Lord Shang's talents. Don't worry, as long as I, Shen Li, am in court, I will definitely help you."
"Shangjun, please come with me to the audience."
"this……"
Shang Yang also had a look of embarrassment on his face. Looking at the old man's unyielding expression, Ning Fan had no choice but to nod his head: "In that case, I will leave Mr. Shang to you until you grow old."
"Hmph!"
"Your Highness, don't worry."
…
royal palace.
Emperor Yu was sitting in the imperial study room with a headache. The second boy was decisive and killed hundreds of people, but the mess left behind made him anxious!
"His Majesty!"
"Right Prime Minister Shen Li would like to see you."
"Xuan!"
"yes!"
Wei Ying nodded, and the young eunuch standing outside the palace led Shen Li into the imperial study and saluted respectfully: "I see you, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Shen, why are you here?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I am here to recommend a great talent!"
"oh?"
There was a hint of surprise on Emperor Yu's face. It was amazing to be called a great talent by Shen Li!
"I wonder which great scholar it is?"
"Can you actually get into the eyes of Master Shen?"
"His Majesty!"
A solemn look appeared on Shen Li's face, and he said calmly: "The person I want to recommend is a man in white clothes, without any fame."
"Yijie in white?"
Emperor Yu's expression became even more surprised, and then he said with a smile: "For a man in white clothes to be able to be highly recommended by Duke Shen, this person must be an extraordinary person."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Shen Li smiled and said, "Even Kong Ming said that this person's talent is a thousand times better than his."
"What?"
Emperor Yu stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face. His talent was a thousand times better than Kong Ming's?
"Did Kong Ming really say this?"
"How dare I deceive you?" Shen Li saw a look of doubt on Emperor Yu's face and said smoothly: "His Royal Highness King Yong...ahem!"
"etc!"
"What does this matter have to do with the second child?" Emperor Yu was confused: "Could it be that the second child also knows this person!?"
"Ahem!"
Shen Li kept coughing, but Emperor Yu, with his head full of black lines, walked up to the imperial case: "Mr. Shen, is it possible that you are hiding something from me?"
"Don't dare!"
Shen Li cupped his hands and said bravely: "To be honest with Your Majesty, this person was highly recommended by His Highness King Yong. I was waiting for a drink outside the palace just now, so I got to know this person!"
"If I hadn't worked so hard to persuade him to stay, I'm afraid this person would have followed King Yong to Huainan."
"Second child?"
Emperor Yu's voice could not help but rise a little higher: "Has the second son returned to Beijing?"
"Ahem!"
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Yong should have returned to Huainan by now!"
"You bastard!" Emperor Yu suddenly became furious. He looked at Wei Ying and said, "This kid didn't even come to see you when he returned to the capital. Have you ever put me in your eyes?"
"Go and bring your dick back to me?"
"His Majesty!"
Wei Ying also had a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "Since His Highness King Yong has left the capital, especially the old slave, can he be found?"
"Presumably, His Highness has no choice but to not come to see you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shen Li also said with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness, King Yong, has violated a taboo by leaving the fiefdom without authorization."
"I have given him a secret decree, and I can forgive him."
"Your Majesty, you know this secret decree, but the ministers in the court don't know it, and the Yushitai doesn't know it!"
"If they hold on to you... Your Majesty will still be in trouble. Your Highness, King Yong, is so considerate of you!"
After hearing Shen Li's explanation, Emperor Yu's expression softened a lot, and he muttered to himself: "Speaking of which, it's been nearly a year since the second child was released, right?"
"How about I call him back to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, it will be the New Year's Eve in three months, why not wait until the New Year's Eve..."
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded, returned to the throne, looked at Shen Li and said: "Mr. Shen, bring in the great talent you want to recommend. If he can be so highly praised by Kong Ming, and can be so highly recommended by you, Mr. Shen, It makes me curious!"
"Your Majesty, we are waiting outside the palace."
"Xuan!"
Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, wearing a plain white long coat, striding into the hall.
"Caomin Shang Yang, pay your respects to Emperor Yu!"
Shang Yang did not kneel down and worship. Wei Ying carefully took a look at Emperor Yu's expression. After seeing that he didn't care, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"No gift!"
Emperor Yu was also carefully sizing up the middle-aged commoner with extraordinary appearance and powerful aura in front of him until Shen Li on the side spoke.
"Your Majesty, Shang Yang is a great sage of Legalism. According to His Highness, in Taoyuan Village..."
"Taoyuan Village?"
There was a look of doubt on Emperor Yu's face. Shen Li's face suddenly stiffened, as if he had let something slip again. But facing Emperor Yu's compelling gaze, Shen Li did not dare to hide it and told Ning Fan to him. Come one by one.
"What a Taoyuan Village."
"It's really fascinating. Is there really such a pure place in the world?"
Shang Yang also had a look of laughter and tears on his face, and nodded slightly: "What His Highness said is true, both Cao Min and Kong Ming came from Taoyuan Village."
"oh……"
Emperor Yu showed a thoughtful look. After a long time, he looked at Shang Yang and asked, "Why does King Yong know the secrets of Taoyuan Village? What is the connection between him and Yaotaoyuan Village?"
