Are You Worthy?
Zhangsun Wuji felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Although he and Li Shi Min had been good friends for many years, there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects.
The Zhangsun family was growing stronger day by day, and it was inevitable that Li Er would have a grudge against them.
If it was not handled properly, it would not be settled with just a few sentences of punishment!
Those who were involved were confused, while those who were not involved were clear.
Zhangsun Wuji was now somewhat glad that he did not continue to advise his son on the engagement between Princess Changle and himself.
This might not be a bad thing, but a good thing, a great thing!
He saw,
Lin Fan slowly put down his chopsticks and put away his usual relaxed attitude. He said with a little worry,"You want to get to the root of the problem. There was still a long way to go, and it was not something that could be achieved quickly with just a few words.”
"If we want to recruit all the talents in the world, we need to open up the recruitment criteria bit by bit. From 30 people, we need to expand it to 50 people, 60 people."
"It's not advisable to eat until you're fat.”
Li Shi Min praised in his heart.
He had a long-term vision, and not for the achievements in front of him was the foundation of the people. This coincided with his heart.
? Lin Fan continued," It is indeed a waste of time and money to travel to Chang 'an. My suggestion is to postpone the examination to once every two years or once every three years.”
"This way, not only will the examinees have sufficient time to travel, they won't have to work too hard, and they will also have a lot of time to study.”
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly realized why he didn't think of the idea of delaying the examination. It would leave enough time for the examination and give enough space for learning.
Although it was simple, it was practical!
He secretly wiped the sweat from his palms and pondered.
At this moment, Lin Fan was also excited. Looking at the two of them, they must have fainted from his words and were talking even more enthusiastically.
"Only by enduring the pain can one truly put themselves in the shoes of the people. Children from poor families know what the people lack, what they want, and what they need.”
"Compared to high officials who only know how to read the law and write memorials, who do you think is better at bringing blessings to the people?”
Lin Fan let out a long breath and laughed,""Isn't the current Emperor also deeply aware of the sufferings of the people, and then he worked hard to govern?”
"Only by enduring hardship can one become a superior person!”
Li Shi Min's tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed as he kept repeating this sentence in his heart.
Wonderful!
Wonderful!
What a good one, only by suffering hardship can one become a superior person!
He had heard too many flattering words and was already sick and annoyed.
But these words coming out from the mouth of a commoner, coming out from Lin Fan's mouth, was a completely different concept.
Li Shimin raised his cup and said,"What a good saying! Only by suffering can one become a superior person!"”
"Brother Lin, on behalf of the Humble Class scholars, I offer you a toast!”
Lin Fan sniffed and was speechless.
"Nonsense, don't you see who said that?”
Of course, he was just complaining in his heart.
"I say, Old Li, why are you bragging better than me? You're just a merchant. What right do you have to represent the world's Humble Scholars?”Lin Fan said in disdain.
"Are you even worthy?"
" Pfft!" Zhangsun Wuji spat out another mouthful of wine on the table.
Li Shi Min's eyes twitched and he was speechless.
He was the emperor, if he was not worthy.
Who else in this world was worthy?
He was too worthy!
In the entire world, Lin Fan was the first person who dared to say that the Emperor was not worthy.
Li Shiming unconsciously added two points to this candidate for future son-in-law.
"Old Sun, what's wrong with you? If you continue to be like this, I won't dare to let you drink anymore.”Lin Fan looked at the mess on the table and said angrily,"I'm scared that you'll die on my table while drinking.”
"I still have to open a business in the future.”
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Zhangsun Wuji raised his sleeves to cover his face and coughed non-stop."I'm really sorry, Brother Lin. I'll give you two more coins.”
Lin Fan thought,'That's more like it.”
However, he still refused. After all, he was not a greedy person.
That bag of money was enough for a family of six to eat for a few months.
Only by casting a long line can you catch a big fish. There's no need to care about these small profits in front of you.
"This is not about money!"
Lin Fan took the opportunity to move the table and prepare again.
"Brother Lin, don't be so busy, everyone's full."”
"After hearing you out, it's time for us brothers to return to the shop.”
Lin Fan put down the towel and sat on the stool, spreading his hands.
I'm also happy to be idle.
"It's actually useless to say it."
" All of this has a prerequisite-"
Lin Fan's lips curled up and he smiled slightly." The Ministry of Official Personnel has to give up power. The selection of candidates needs to be changed.”
"Or…cancel it directly!"
"If the Minister is strongly opposed, you can have a good taste.”
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
Bang!
Zhangsun Wuji's hair stood on end!
The wine glass in her hand slipped to the ground and shattered.
Why did it involve him again?
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin with lingering fear.
Li Er was unmoved and did not even turn his head.
He sat upright and upright, his expression unreadable.
This made his heart skip a beat.
"Old Sun, I really don't want to criticize you."
Lin Fan looked like he was really annoyed and stood up.
Seeing this,
Li Shi Min took out two strings of money from his wallet and gave it to Lin Fan.
"We'll pay, we'll pay."
"It's not Old Li. This is not about money."
Li Shiming waved his hand and stuffed the money into his arms." It's getting late. We should go back. We had a good chat today!"”
"If Brother Lin doesn't accept it, I won't come back in the future.”
Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't reject it. Who would go against money? He cupped his hands and said,"Take care. I'll let you taste my new wine next time.”
"Deal." After Li Shi Min finished speaking, he strode away without even turning back to look.
Seeing this, Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly cupped his hands and bid farewell to Lin Fan. Then, he quickly followed after him in a sorry state.
Lin Fan shook the heavy money bag in his hand and muttered to himself,""He's really a good person, but unfortunately, he's sick!”
......
They were speechless along the way.
Sometimes, silence was more frightening than an outburst.
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin was handling government affairs in the study.
At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Duke Qi requests an audience."
The Duke of Qi was none other than Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Shi Min couldn't hide his smile. After a few breaths, he said coldly,"Announce!"
