Wu Yue was dressed in a dark cyan finely embroidered robe, with a gold-trimmed crimson scale pattern on his waist, and a drooping belt. Although he was dressed as a nobleman, he was walking like a tiger, with a dreadful aura, and his eyes were as stern as a knife. He didn't do anything daunting, just entering the hall made everyone subconsciously hold their breath.

Although he was intimidated by Wu Yue's power, it was strange that everyone's eyes still noticed the man behind Wu Yue. He was really special. He had neat short hair, beautiful eyebrows, handsome features, and his skin was as transparent as ivory. Dressed in brilliance, wearing a light-colored scribe's uniform, the whole person has a clear temperament that is like a spring breeze, which forms a strong contrast with Wu Yue, who is cold and evil, one is like a black stone, the other is like a clear cloud, so completely different. The two walked together, but unexpectedly harmonious.

"Your Highness, Second Highness is well." Wu Yue stood still and saluted slightly.

The eldest prince, Li Chen, smiled happily, "Brother Wu, you can come here is really a surprise for brother Wei, come here and file a case."

The servants on one side immediately added a table case beside the eldest prince.

Wu Yue was about to take his seat when a voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Wu, the people you brought are really unusual, even the salute is so strange."

The only person who dared to make trouble at this time was Li Xiao, the second prince, besides the eldest prince. "The young gentleman behind you looked very sullen. He didn't even want to kneel when he first came here? Did he take Brother Wang too seriously?"

Wu Yue didn't turn around and didn't even change his expression. He just said lightly to Li Xiao, "Second Highness, why don't you question him directly."

Everyone present felt a little cold, thinking that it is no wonder that there are so few talents in Wu Yue's mansion, who is willing to follow a master who doesn't care whether his subordinates live or die!

And Li Xiao didn't dare to really provoke Wu Yue, he just wanted to find an excuse to create some trouble between Li Chen and Wu Yue.

It turned out that when she first met the ceremony, Murphy only gave a hand salute as usual, firstly because she couldn't kneel down, and secondly because she knew that when she followed a powerful master like Wuyue to meet nobles , she can omit the kneeling ceremony, which is a permissible tacit understanding among nobles.

Therefore, she could have passed the worship like this, but Lu Yan, who was beside her, knelt down with ease.

When Wu Yue was about to move into the seat, Lu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately followed up tremblingly, leaving only Murphy present.

This stupid Lu Yan!

The eldest prince first glanced at Li Xiao, then smiled at Mo Fei, "I don't know what to call this gentleman?"

"At the next Rongzhen Mansion, the guest Qing Futu." Mo Fei, who was now in the public eye, was a little nervous in his heart, but his expression was still the same, and he did not speak in a hurry.

"Oh? Ke Qing?" Li Chen was very interested, "Wudi's house is always strict in terms of income, Mr. Futu can catch his eye, obviously he can be excellent, I wonder what Mr. is good at?"

"Futu is a late-stage student, and he doesn't dare to boast in front of the seniors."

Li Xiao sneered: "Although Your Excellency is young, you seem to be quite arrogant. If you dare to meet the royal family without kneeling, you must have something to rely on. Why not show your talents here?"

Mo Fei glanced at the second prince indifferently, did not reply, but said to Li Chen again: "Dare to ask, Your Highness, what is the purpose of your academic seminar?"

Li Chen was stunned for a moment and replied, "Seeking talent."

"In that case, please allow Futu to exchange a story for the gift of not kneeling."

"Oh?" As soon as these words came out, not only Li Chen, but everyone present became curious, and many people secretly thought that this person was really brave.

"Sir, please speak, this king is all ears."

Murphy first bowed before slowly saying: "There is a shepherd with the surname and a shepherd with the surname of Li. When it was dark one day, when they drove the sheep home, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the number of sheep in each family was 100%. There were more than a dozen more, and it turned out that a group of wild goats ran back with the domestic sheep.

"The shepherd surnamed Zhang thought that the fat in his mouth should not be thrown away. So he fastened the fence and tightly enclosed the wild goats.

"The shepherd surnamed Li wanted to treat these wild goats better, perhaps attracting more wild goats. So they provided more and better fodder for the wild goats.

"The next day, the shepherd surnamed Zhang was afraid that the wild goats would run away, so he only drove the domestic sheep into the grassland. The shepherd surnamed Li drove the domestic sheep and the wild goats into the grassland together. At night, the shepherd surnamed Li drove the sheep into the grassland together. The domestic sheep brought back more than a dozen wild goats, but the sheep of the shepherd surnamed Zhang did not bring back even a single wild goat.

"Talents are rare and easy to lose. The ancients said: 'The big section is yes, the small section is yes, the Shangjun is also. , I have no idea about the rest. 'Those who do great things should not stick to the small details, and they should not lose the big because of the small. 'The words of the madman, the saints choose.' The reward. Your Highness is thirsty for talent, but can you achieve 'putting people first and abandoning them vulgarly'?"

What kind of boldness is this "Putting people as precious, and abandoning them with contempt"? There was a brief silence in the field, and everyone looked at the independent man in the middle in amazement. He dared to ask the prince directly without changing his face.

"Hahaha, Mr.'s story is wonderful." Li Chen laughed after a while, "This king is taught."

"Then," Murphy asked lightly, "Can this story be exchanged for a no-kneeling ceremony?"

Li Chen looked at him with a smile: "Of course, Young Master Futu is qualified not to kneel. Not only that, this king has decided that from now on, no, starting from this talent discussion meeting, all talents can be temporarily exempted from kneeling. stand."

After hearing this, all the talented people were overjoyed and thanked. This is the luck of all talents, and it represents another improvement in the status of talents, and this change is only because of a story of someone.

"The eldest prince is wise."

Finally dealt with it. Murphy sat safely, and the nerves that had been tense just now finally relaxed. I originally wanted to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, but who would have been caught as soon as he appeared on the stage, but fortunately, the eldest prince was as kind and wise as rumored. In order to resolve the trouble, she told the story, which is her quick response, but Li Chen was able to make greater use of it quickly, and took the opportunity to win the favor of the other talents. This is his ability.

Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but look at Li Chen, who was in the right position. This man is indeed dignified and luxurious, and his temperament is beyond people. What is even more rare is the gentle and sincere look in people's eyes, which makes people feel that they are highly valued. This is the person she was going to seek refuge with, but unfortunately, she lost the opportunity.

Mo Fei, who was contemplating, didn't notice the flashes of admiration and smiles in Wu Yue's eyes. Originally, he didn't ask to avoid conflict with the two princes. In the situation just now, no matter what he said, it was inappropriate. Asking for mercy to the prince for a subordinate is not in line with his character or identity, and it is not what he wants to ask Li Chen to take the initiative to give favor to others.

At the same time, he also had the heart to see how Fu Tu would respond. Even if he dealt with disobedience, Li Chen would not be too embarrassed because of his face. He was just letting other talents see the joke. There is no harm in the government. But what he didn't expect was that Fu Tu not only resolved the trouble by himself, but also dealt with it calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and made a show of himself, and also gave Li Chen a chance to attract people's hearts.

But then, he inadvertently saw Fu Tu staring at Li Chen, thinking that at first he was going to seek refuge with Li Chen, and now seeing him like this again, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, and his eyes turned cold, but now Once he entered his residence, he would not be given another chance to leave.

However, Li Xiao's face was not very good, and his ruthless eyes looked straight at Fu Tu, who had a calm expression and sat upright like a mountain. His calm demeanor and handsome appearance made many people heartbroken. Even though Li Xiao, who was unhappy in his heart, looked at him for a long time, the anger in his stomach dissipated inexplicably. Suddenly I felt a little itchy, and I had a thought of "if this person is my own", once this thought came out, it would never go away...

After such a delay, the discussion on talents continued, and Li Chen opened the first question of the day: employing people.

The form adopts the method of free defense, and there are several narrators in the corner to record.

Li Chen asked: "The king must choose people for officials, and cannot be used just because of the inferior. If you use the right people, you will persuade the good people; if you misuse the bad people, the bad people will compete to advance. Therefore, it is difficult to know people, and whether they are worthy or not can be seen. ?"

Everyone whispered, and not long after a middle-aged man came out: "Our country picks up scholars, all of them go to the countryside, the state and county provide them, and then people use them, so they are called "Toast". However, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low talents. A true virtuous person must have both benevolence, virtue and wisdom. Knowing but not being benevolent is impossible, benevolence but not knowing is impossible. Therefore, the first choice for talent is virtue..."

After the first person's discussion was completed, several talented people came out one after another to speak boldly.

Some of these remarks are very reasonable, such as "supervise the real by name, select talents and test ability, let the real be the name, and the name should be real..."

There are also people who say "do not doubt the use of people, do not use suspicious people", "the virtuous people are far from the villains" and so on, all of which are good words.

Others may feel that they have benefited a lot, but for Murphy, even children understood these principles in her original time, but they were not as good at arguing. She does not have any contempt, the knowledge summed up by these talents from their own experience is more precious than the collection of later generations. It is just limited to the backwardness of the times and the lack of knowledge, and it is impossible to quickly jump out of this circle.

In this era, there is no systematic way of selecting talents, and there is no relatively perfect official system. When it comes to appointing talents, it is inevitable that there will be no shortage of talents. There is no specific and feasible measure except relying on the character and morality of talents. A lot of talent was buried. In addition, the difficulty of knowledge dissemination is also a major reason for the lack of talents.

Even though he understood this, Murphy had no intention of being in the limelight at this time. What she knows can only be used to help Wu Yue in the future. In this era of competition, it is not the question of whether to fight for hegemony, but the question of how to fight for hegemony. She can ignore how other countries develop, but as she has already been labeled "Rong Zhen", she can only ensure her own safety if Wu Yue has enough strength.

If Wu Yue was just an ordinary nobleman, it would be fine, but he was a feudal lord, and it would be difficult for him to be accepted by the upper class of the state in the future. There are only two solutions. One is that Wu Yue is willing to give up his fief and military power and become an idle king; but doing so still cannot guarantee that he can retreat completely. The second is to have a daunting strength and to separate one side.

Obviously, with Wu Yue's character, it would be better to fight to the death to let him live. His coldness may only be superficial, but his pride is deep in his bones.

Just like attending this party this time, Murphy is sure that there must be a reason for it. Although they don't get along for a long time, this man is definitely not a person who can do boring things.

The discussion of the talented people was still going on, and Murphy just listened intently. She thought it would be fine to just go through it. She believed that Wu Yue's purpose of coming here should have been achieved, at least to make Li Chen's reputation more famous, and put Li Xiao's head down... Wait, is this the purpose of Wu Yue's coming here? Give others the illusion of supporting Li Chen?

He wants to intensify the contradiction between the two princes! Mo Yan lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, hiding the gleam in his eyes without a trace.

At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone say, "I wonder what Mr. Futu thinks?"
