Chapter 40: Since I'm not sure of passing the third level, then everyone can't pass it
As Xu Xinyun and others left voluntarily.
Only Gu Jinnian, Wang Fugui and Su Huaiyu were left in the private room.
And with Su Huaiyu's domineering words, the private room became extremely quiet.
After a while.
Wang Fugui smoothed things over, raised his cup and said.
"His Royal Highness, Brother Su."
"It is fate that we meet together. I come here to toast you two, I hope you will forget the displeasure you just felt."
Wang Fugui raised his wine glass and said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Wang, you're welcome."
Gu Jinnian spoke, but Su Huaiyu took a sip, tasted the taste of the wine, and then said lightly: "I drank some water, but it's not a big problem."
He is very direct, has no emotional intelligence, and has a sense of omniscience and omnipotence. How come he knows everything?
Gu Jinnian glanced at Su Huaiyu, and his interest in this person suddenly became more intense.
"Brother Su is really funny."
Wang Fugui sneered.
But after drinking for three rounds, he continued to speak.
"His Royal Highness."
"How long have you been in the village?"
Wang Fugui opened his mouth and asked about this matter.
"About half an hour."
Gu Jinnian counted the time and gave an answer.
"Half an hour."
"Oh, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know the secret of the second level either."
Wang Fugui nodded and said.
"Second level?"
"It's really not clear."
"Brother Wang knows?"
Gu Jinnian replied that he had no clue about the second level.
"I don't know, but this year Daxia Academy is in charge of Mr. Wenjing. Mr. Wenjing has a weird personality. In previous years, he only wrote articles and poems when he was admitted to Daxia Academy."
"When I arrived at Mr. Wenjing's place, it became strange and elusive."
Speaking of this, Wang Fugui was also a little depressed.
His family was wealthy, and he had invited many Confucian scholars to teach him since he was a child. He even spent a lot of money to hire a great Confucian tutor for this Daxia Academy.
Fu Chuang studied hard for ten years.
So you told me to revise the version?
How not to make Wang Fugui feel uncomfortable.
"The mountain people have their own clever ideas."
"Mr. Wenjing should be acting like this for his own purpose."
"There's no need to worry too much."
"Come, Brother Wang, have a drink."
Gu Jinnian raised his wine glass with a gentle smile on his face.
Wang Fugui nodded, and after taking a sip, he looked at Gu Jinnian and continued.
"But His Royal Highness still needs to pay more attention."
"My foolish brother likes to make friends. He has been in the village for a long time and made acquaintance with many people."
"But Yudi discovered that most of the younger generation of scholars have some opinions on His Royal Highness."
"It seems that someone is secretly and deliberately damaging the reputation of His Royal Highness."
Wang Fugui spoke up.
One thing was mentioned and asked Gu Jinnian to pay attention.
"Harm my reputation?"
Gu Jinnian put down his wine glass and said slowly.
"You are a mediocre person if you are not envied by others. If they like to say it, let them say it."
It's not that Gu Jinnian doesn't care about reputation.
On the contrary, Gu Jinnian cares about reputation very much.
He knows how important reputation is to a person.
But, here comes the problem.
What can I do if I know?
Is it possible to tear their mouths apart one by one?
To put it bluntly, is Emperor Yongsheng powerful? Isn’t he still insulted by many scholars in the world?
Everything has two sides.
As long as you are in a high position, no matter what you do, there will always be good and bad reviews.
Do you expect people in the world to understand you? To tolerate you?
It's better to take a shower and sleep.
According to Gu Jinnian, his uncle had a serious mental disorder and was not in the right position after all, so he paid great attention to the reputation of the people in the world.
He did everything personally and worked hard to create a prosperous age, so that civil and military officials and the people of Daxia could see that he, Li Yan, was a good emperor.
But this kind of thinking is extremely naive and purely caused by the heart.
So what if we create a prosperous world? Should we criticize you or criticize you? Isn’t it easy to erase a person’s achievements with just one sentence?
In a word, Yongsheng just inherited Taizu's assets.
You can nullify all your uncle's efforts throughout his life.
Therefore, if he ascends the throne, Gu Jinnian will definitely act like a king.
Any civil servant or scholar who dares to speak nonsense will be killed.
Why does the vassal king support the army? You still have the chance to join the vassal?
Just focus on developing people's livelihood wholeheartedly. Justice will be in people's hearts. People will always have something to eat and drink.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian didn't care about his reputation because there was no way to solve it.
"His Royal Highness is wrong."
"The theory of wind criticism is that justice lies in people's hearts."
"But I can't stand someone fanning the flames, especially these scholars."
"Just like just now, Xu Xinyun comes from an ordinary family, but he dares to touch the crown prince's brow. This is unusual."
"Although my foolish brother is average in reading, he is a little better in worldliness."
"Small means big. Normally, even if he is dissatisfied with His Royal Highness, the son of a mere magistrate would not dare to contradict the grandson of the Duke."
"There must be something fishy about this."
Wang Fugui spoke.
He doesn't like people like Xu Xinyun, not because he has no character, but because he has no brains.
In addition, Gu Jinnian is the heir apparent, so he naturally wants to curry favor, so he said these words.
"Naughty?"
Gu Jinnian nodded. He actually had some idea in his mind and understood the meaning of Wang Fugui's words.
"Brother Su, what do you think?"
Gu Jinnian looked at Su Huaiyu. This guy had great insight, so he could ask.
"It's just the bad habits of scholars."
"In the final analysis, it's the people in the imperial court who caused the trouble."
"These scholars all want to imitate Confucianism and give advice to show off their uprightness."
"But everyone is as timid as a mouse. If something happens to them, they will shrink back and forth."
"I know Zhang Yun again, so it's normal to curse a few times."
"In the final analysis, it's just someone secretly ruining your reputation."
"According to my wishes, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to collect some evidence so that I can try to sentence him to beheading."
"But his father is a great scholar of the time. I'm afraid the Ministry of Punishment won't be able to accept the case. Your grandfather will have to come forward."
"But it's troublesome."
"If the Crown Prince wants to eradicate the problem, I know some desperadoes who can kill him, but it's hard to say the price. I'll start with one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Su Huaiyu's words are sharp.
And the words made people silent.
Especially Wang Fugui, he really wants to leave here.
After all, what Su Huaiyu said was too rebellious.
Is it so easy to buy a murderer?
The other party is still a great scholar.
Could you please respect the great Confucian?
Gu Jinnian on the side also fell silent.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this guy's brain, and normal people really don't dare to say this.
"Forget it, now that it's over, let's forget about it."
"What's important right now is about the second level."
"Brother Su, do you know the mystery of this second level?"
Gu Jinnian didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
It's really going to be spread later. This is not a trivial matter. If someone knows about it and uses it to disgust you, it will definitely work.
Now let’s think about what the second level is.
After hearing what Gu Jinnian said, Su Huaiyu took out a token from his arms, placed it on the table and said.
"Come in through the south gate and you will get a Tianzi Token."
"The second level is to find the Dizi Token. If you don't come in from the south gate, you need to find two tokens."
"As for the third level, I'm not sure."
Su Huaiyu gave the answer.
"Di Zi Ling?"
Gu Jinnian was a little surprised. He had a Tianzi Token in his hand, but he didn't expect that the second level would be to collect the second token.
"So that's it, but where is the token?"
Wang Fugui was a little greedy. He looked at the command arrow in Su Huaiyu's hand and couldn't help but ask.
"The assessment location is chosen in Xiaoxi Village."
"Then these tokens are in the village."
"The Tian Zi Ling is okay. It's hidden in some corners. It's not hard to get it if you pay close attention."
"The Dizi Order is in the hands of the villagers of Xiaoxi Village."
"However, after several hours of investigation, I found that not every villager has a Dizi Ling. If you want to obtain a Di Zi Ling, you can use several methods, such as robbery and coercion, or making a deal and giving money directly."
"Or help them."
Su Huaiyu gave the answer.
"I see."
"I don't have the token yet. If you two brothers don't mind, I will go look for it first."
Wang Fugui was a little anxious.
He couldn't find the mystery here for a long time, he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Need not."
However, Su Huaiyu shook his head, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, and then opened the mouth.
In an instant, one by one the Heavenly Character Order and the Earth Character Order appeared.
Like rain.
fell on the table.
Gu Jinnian and Wang Fugui were stunned.
Good guy.
Did you take all the tokens away?
Who the hell are you?
"Brother Su, how come you have so many tokens?"
Wang Fugui is numb.
The voice was trembling.
"I was bored, so I put these things away."
"Besides, I don't know what the third level is. If I can't compare with others, I might as well let them stop at the second level."
"Reduce my stress."
Su Huaiyu looked serious.
At the same time, the chopsticks kept picking up delicacies.
This kind of thinking logic.
Let Gu Jinnian call him a good guy.
Since I am not sure of passing the third level, then everyone will not be able to pass the second level.
Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, you were so good at it.
