On the outskirts of Dingzhou City, the spring breeze is gentle and soft.
Dongfang Yu prepared his hand and raised his head to face the gentle breeze, which was like a delicate little hand caressing his face, which was extremely refreshing.
well!
Dongfang Yu sighed! It's a rare trip to relax and unwind.
As the king of Qin, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Unifying the world and conquering two states was just a small step.
"Report! Xuantong has arrived." the soldier reported.
Dongfang Yu slowly opened his closed eyes and said lightly: "Let him come over!"
It had been a day or two since Xuan Ziyuan left his side.
During these days, Dongfang Yu specially gave Xuan Ziyuan a difficult task.
That is, to find scholars and imitate virtuous people for him.
Therefore! In the past few days, Xuan Ziyuan has disappeared from his side.
"promise!"
The soldiers moved aside, Xuan Ziyuan dismounted, and quickly walked behind Dongfang Yu.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what good news!"
"I found out about two of them in Jiang County and Song County in Ba County."
"After a vigorous search by the secret guards, we finally found the traces of both of them and found the real person."
as expected!
Dongfang Yu was not surprised at all.
There are many talented people in Dingzhou. It's just a pity that Liu Xin is not good at discovering talents and is too high-spirited to write
some. Of course, people with truly great talents will not serve mediocre people.
Just like Xu Meng, he would rather offend the emperor and the powerful than admit his mistakes and bow his head.
A mediocre leader can accompany a mediocre person, but only a heroic leader can accompany a madman.
"Two people?"
"Whose last name is it? Let me tell you Gu Ting." Dongfang Yu asked.
"One person's name is Jiang Yin, and he is a down-and-out young man from Jiang County. I asked the people about Jiang Yin's daily life. He spends almost every day idle and doing nothing."
"But I have been keeping an eye on Jiang Yin for several days! This person is indeed not good at life, and it is very consistent with the description given by the people. But I found that although Jiang Yin is lazy, every time he goes out, he will hold a scroll of letters in his hand. "
"My lord, guess what kind of book is the thing Jiang Yin is holding?"
"oh!"
Dongfang Yu suddenly became interested, "Then this person named Jiangyin is a bit strange?"
"Ziyuan, don't tempt me. Tell me quickly."
Xuan Ziyuan continued: "What Jiang Yin is holding is a book of war. The book of war on the bed was discovered by the secret guard when Jiang Yin was out. I was also curious, so I also visited the scene in person."
"Is there a bed full of military books? I've read them all, but I haven't seen anyone yet. Who can regard military books as life!"
Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes deeply and became more and more interested.
"There is one more person!"
Xuan Ziyuan said again: "There is another person who is from Song County, named Fa Xun. I heard that he has a strategy in mind, especially in governance, and has a strong ability. Moreover, in the early years, I took part in Dawu’s imperial examination!”
"But it's a pity that because I came from a poor family, I was framed and eliminated after just passing the first round of exams. I was not angry, so I returned to Dingzhou and vowed never to join the world again."
Indeed, Dawu at that time was extremely unfair to talented people from poor families. The main reason is that the power of the gentry is too strong, and they can basically act on behalf of the emperor and act alone.
Most of the poor people would be dead if they didn't stick to the aristocratic family. At the end of the Great War, countless talented people chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests because they were dissatisfied with the unfair imperial examination system of the Great War.
"Interesting! Really interesting!" Dongfang Yu stroked his chin and couldn't help but secretly thought, "Who's here? I'm going to Bajun. I won't return to Dingzhou within ten days. Let Bai Qi take care of all the affairs in the city."
"promise!"
Awesome! Dongfang Yu, Xu Meng, Xuan Ziyuan, plus fifty secret guards, and five hundred civilian soldiers set out for Bajun.
Of course, Dongfang Yu would go to Jiang County first, after all! After finally getting out once, it would be a pity to go back without having a great time.
Dingzhou City to Bajun is only a day or two's journey away.
At this time, there was indeed a man named Jiangyin in Jiang County.
As in the past, in order to make a living, Jiangyin had to leave his dilapidated home and work as a laborer for others.
"Have you seen this idiot? He is lazy and idle all day long. He holds a shabby book all day long. He really thinks he can become an official?"
"Haha! I just daydream about it all day! Just like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a wife in the future."
…
Everyone speaks to me, every word is like a knife and a needle.
Jiang Yin's thin figure walked among the people. His eyes were fixed on the military book in his hand all the time. Even when he was walking, he would not look at others, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him. The people around him have nothing to do with him.
"Brother Long, this Jiang Yin is wandering around the streets and counties all day long. Miss Li's heart has been seduced by this boy." Jiang Xiaohu couldn't help but slander Jiang Yin in Jiang Dalong's ears.
These two brothers are not bullies in the county, and their family is not rich. Jiang Dalong and Jiang Xiaohu are butchers in Jiang County. They kill pigs and sell their meat. They earn a few small bucks, at least they don't go hungry.
After hearing Jiang Xiaohu's slander, Jiang Dalong immediately became angry.
The girl from the Li family is the one he likes. How can you stare at other men? This is okay.
"Damn it, if I don't show Jiang Yin any color today, I, Jiang Dalong, won't be named Jiang anymore." Say it! He just rolled up his sleeves and waved his hand towards the person behind him.
A few people wandered out of the stall. Deliberately blocking the road to Jiangyin.
hey-hey!
Jiang Dalong directly crossed his legs slightly, crossed his arms across his chest, and stood in front of Jiang Yin.
The joking expression was all over his face.
"oh!"
Jiang Yin was stunned, raised his head slightly, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked slightly moved.
Jiang Dalong and Jiang Xiaohu, these two brothers, had caused trouble for him not just once.
today! They must have come to trouble him again.
"Why are you blocking my way!" Jiang Yin's tone was calm, without any hint of anger.
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Dalong laughed in vain, pointed at Jiang Yin, and said viciously: "Jiangyin, damn, did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?"
"I warned you to stay away from Miss Li Yue, but you just didn't listen. Today! I have to teach you a lesson so that you can remember it for a long time."
When he said this, Li Yue and the girls in the county were also watching the show?
"Sister Li, Jiang Dalong wants to cause trouble for your silly brother because of you!"
"Yes! Jiang Dalong, although he is a butcher, but his family has some money... If it were me, I would get married."
The girls next to Li Yue were teasing each other.
But to be honest, Jiang Dalong looked sloppy, a little fat, and had wrinkles on his face. It is true that he is not as handsome as Jiangyin.
