"I am Dongfang Shuo. Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"You are Dongfang Shuo?"
"Your Majesty, I am Dongfang Shuo!”
"Get up!"
Liu Che looked at the young man in front of him who had a delicate face and a broad figure. He was even much taller than him, and his eyes could not help but reveal a trace of surprise.
Or rather…
He didn't expect the order to bring Dongfang Shuo here.
What surprised him even more was that although the young man kneeling on the ground in front of him looked respectful, he did not show too much nervousness or fear.
She could also answer his questions clearly and systematically.
Unlike the other scholars.
The first time he met the emperor, he was in fear and stuttered incoherently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dongfang Shuo stood up and stole a glance at Liu Che.
It was obvious.
He was also very curious about Liu Che, the young emperor.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if the young emperor in front of him was as extraordinary as his friend had said.
Because he left the palace without permission.
Liu Che did not wear the emperor's crown like he did in the palace. He wore a twelve-tasseled crown on his head. He only wore an ordinary, luxurious robe that did not attract much attention.
However, even so, Dongfang Shuo could still feel a sense of nobility and extraordinariness from Liu Che, as well as his unconcealed fighting spirit and ambition.
"This is a young emperor with his own thoughts, ambitions, and aspirations!”
In an instant, Dongfang Shuo had already evaluated Liu Che.
At the same time, he was extremely worried about his future and the choice of his friends.
It was a good thing that the young emperor had his own thoughts and ambitions.
However, the current Han Dynasty did not need an ambitious and thoughtful emperor.
Since Emperor Wen, the Han Dynasty had cultivated for more than 40 years and had been using the teachings of Huang Lao to govern the world.
Especially Empress Dowager Dou, she was a strong supporter of Huang Lao's teachings.
If the young emperor wanted to realize his ambitions and aspirations, he would be able to do so.
Then he had to break the current situation of the Great Han Dynasty and start a conflict with Empress Dowager Dou.
To be honest.
In this matter.
Dongfang Shuo didn't think Liu Che would be a match for Empress Dowager Dou.
However, he was from a low-class aristocratic family.
Dongfang Shuo, who had no connections or background in the Han Dynasty Hall, could only seize this opportunity to join the Han Dynasty Hall by relying on Liu Che.
Therefore, even if he didn't think highly of Liu Che, he had no choice but to rely on Liu Che, this young emperor.
Liu Che didn't know what Dongfang Shuo was thinking.
Otherwise, his impression of Dongfang Shuo would have changed drastically, and he would have overthrown the idea that Dongfang Shuo was just a little smart.
"I have already read your letter. Although it is long, it is interesting. Some of the ideas in it are indeed good.”
"From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the Golden Horse Gate to listen to the news.”
Liu Che thought about it and decided to give Dongfang Shuo a chance to go to the Golden Horse Gate and wait for his appointment.
"I, Dongfang Shuo, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I will definitely use all I have learned in my life to do my best for Your Majesty until I die!”
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Dongfang Shuo was overjoyed by Liu Che's words. He quickly knelt down and thanked him. All kinds of words of gratitude came out as if they were free.
After Liu Che heard this, he couldn't help but smile, even his previous annoyance was reduced a lot.
He suddenly felt that having an interesting person like Dongfang Shuo by his side was not bad.
It didn't matter if he was talented or not. Occasionally, when he was depressed, he would call him over to relieve his boredom. It was also good to be happy.
However, Dongfang Shuo's words didn't make Liu Che forget his original purpose.
He looked at Dongfang Shuo and suddenly changed the topic.""I heard that a month ago, there was a scholar Xu Yan debating the Confucian scholars in the Public Service Department. Were you there?”
" Your Majesty, I was not only present that day, but I was also one of the parties involved. I had a debate with Brother Shuren, but I was too inexperienced and far inferior to Brother Shuren. In less than ten minutes, I was speechless and could only leave the stage dejectedly. I'm ashamed, ashamed.”
Dongfang Shuo said he was ashamed, but there was no shame on his face. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of pride.
After all, that day, Xu Yan was arguing with the scholars at the bus station.
In just half a day, dozens of people were debating, leaving everyone speechless and dejected.
Dongfang Shuo was able to last for five minutes before being defeated. He was already the number one scholar in the Bureau.
To Dongfang Shuo, who had long known of Xu Yan's talent, this was a huge honor.
This situation was similar to the martial arts world's martial arts competition.
Hundreds of top-notch experts challenged the strongest expert in the world, Xu Yan.
As for the others, even the world's famous great experts were defeated in one or two moves.
As for Dongfang Shuo, an unknown warrior from the bottom, he was able to fight with the other party for the time it took to make a cup of tea.
Should he be proud or disappointed?
How was this a humiliation? It was clearly a great honor!
However, Liu Che obviously couldn't understand such an honor.
He saw that Dongfang Shuo wasn't ashamed of his failure. Instead, he was proud of it. He couldn't help but be curious.
"Is the treeman you mentioned Xu Yan?”
"Your Majesty, Xu Yan and I are good friends. The tree man is Xu Yan's character.”
Dongfang Shuo explained," According to Brother Shuren, he once had a friend named Zhou Shuren. Not only was his knowledge rare in the world, but he could also say countless wonderful words that were thought-provoking.
。”
"It's just that the heavens are jealous of talents. This Brother Zhou Shu Ren died young, so few people know of his talent.”
"Brother Shu Ren was deeply regretful about this, so he gave himself the name Xu Shu Ren to mourn. He also used this name to help his good friend become famous, allowing the word 'treeman' to spread throughout the world.”
When Liu Che heard this, he couldn't help but be moved and said regretfully,""For that Zhou Shu Ren to be praised and mourned by Mister Xu, he must be a true talent. Such a talent could not be used by the Great Han Dynasty, but he passed away in the countryside.”
"Fortunately, I already know about Mister Xu's matter. It's not too late.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll miss out on two great talents!”
Liu Che's heart was filled with grief for the great talent Zhou Shuren, and he couldn't help but rejoice that there was still the great talent Xu Shuren left in the world.
Otherwise, Liu Che would really regret it.
Fortunately!
Fortunately!
