Chapter 353 As Long as You Are Loyal
Eunuch Sun opened the door to the study, looked at the new champion with a smile and said: "The prince is already waiting for you inside, go in by yourself!"
Duan Xinchou was already at Zhou Qing's place and had thoroughly checked the people around King Huainan. Naturally, he knew that the father-in-law in front of him was too high and powerful to offend.
He said respectfully: "My father-in-law has thanked me for informing me. I will go in first. Please take care of me in the future."
Eunuch Sun did not answer, but simply stepped aside. However, from the smile in his eyes, it could be seen that he was indeed very satisfied with this sensible new top scholar.
When Duan Xinchou passed by him, he whispered: "Your Majesty, the most important person is friendship. He can be ruthless, but others cannot be ruthless, so you have to be aware of it."
Duan Xinchou's eyes suddenly lit up. He glanced at Eunuch Sun gratefully and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Eunuch, for reminding me. I will never forget it."
He walked into King Huainan's study and saw King Huainan reviewing documents there. Looking at the bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that he had not slept all night, but he was also a diligent prince.
He took a step forward and said: "Duan Xinchou, the new champion, has met the prince." After saying this, he gave a big salute.
Liu Kebei waved his hand gently and said, "You don't need to give me such a big gift. You can stand out this time, but it also shows your talent.
I heard that you were expelled from Shengshui Academy in order to participate in this imperial examination. Your feelings weigh more than ten thousand pounds in my heart. "
Duan Xinchou said quickly: "Your Majesty is really killing the students. The students think that Your Majesty is a great favor to us. If there was no imperial examination system of His Majesty, when would we, the children from poor families, have any chance of success?"
Liu Kebei nodded slightly and said, "I'm a little curious about how you made up your mind to leave Shengshui Academy and come to Huainan to take the imperial examination."
Duan Xinchou thought for a moment and said, "Students dare not deceive the prince. We only made up our mind to come to Huainan after receiving advice from the prince Zhao."
As he spoke, he told everything, including how he met Zhao Yiming in the first place. He told it in detail, without any concealment.
Liu Kebei had a smile on his face. He had already seen these things in Jin Yiwei's report last night, and there was basically no difference between what Duan Xinchou said.
He said with a smile: "Actually, my third brother came up with this imperial examination system. If you want to thank him, you really should thank him."
Duan Xinchou said with bright eyes: "Of course the students will remember Prince Zhao's kindness, but students feel that to express gratitude, they still have to thank Prince Zhao.
Although the imperial examination system was proposed by Prince Zhao, if the prince did not implement it, it would be nothing more than empty talk. And everything was done by the prince under pressure.
Prince Zhao just made a plan. All these major events are all due to the prince. If the entire credit is divided, Prince Zhao can only take one share at most. "
Liu Kebei heard this and felt very touched. Looking at Duan Xinchou in front of him, he liked it no matter how he looked at it. This boy was not only talented, but also had a unique vision.
Speaking of which, although my third brother played a major role in getting me to where I am today and came up with many strategies for me, if I hadn't been courageous, they would have been nothing more than strategies.
He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your article is indeed good, but I don't know what your abilities are? In fact, abilities can be cultivated. What I value more is whether you are loyal. You can say that I only want your loyalty!"
Duan Xinchou felt blessed at this time and blurted out directly: "To the Luoyue Empire, students dare not say that their loyalty will not change, because the empire did not give me anything, but made me pay a lot?
But for the prince, I am willing to give my loyalty, because I have no choice at all. Apart from the prince, we children from poor families have no chance of getting ahead.
Only when the prince ascends to the throne, or takes a further step forward, can we, the children of poor families, have a more glorious future. We can not be loyal to anyone, but we must be loyal to our own future. "
Liu Kebai burst out laughing and said, "You are indeed a talented person, and you also spoke freely. You are right, there is no such blind loyalty in this world.
And I don’t need that kind of foolish and loyal person. What I need is someone like you. You are loyal to your own interests and your own future, and only I can give you all this. "
Duan Xinchou said with a smile on his face: "So anyone will betray the prince, and anyone can betray the prince, but we can't because we have no way out."
Liu Kebai nodded and said: "I am very satisfied with you. I plan to let you follow Zhou Qing for a while to learn about people's livelihood.
What Zhou Qing is good at is conspiracy, and people's livelihood is not his specialty. I plan to remove him and make plans specifically for me in the future, and then I will hand over this area to you. "
Duan Xinchou hurriedly bowed down and said, "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust and manage the people's livelihood for the prince. If something happens in the future, I will ensure that I have no worries about money and food."
Liu Kebei waved his hand, and Duan Xinchou bowed and walked out. Liu Kebei looked at his back with a proud smile on his face. This imperial examination system is indeed good.
Eunuch Sun walked in from outside with a smile on his face and said: "It seems that Wang Yan is very satisfied with our new top scorer!"
Liu Kebai nodded and said: "This guy is not only kind and righteous, but he also analyzes things very well and knows what choices he should make. This is exactly the person I want.
I have disappeared from the rest of the people. My father-in-law will arrange their positions according to this list. At the same time, we must increase publicity efforts to let these poor students know that they can only stand out in Huainan.
I will use these children from poor families to bring down those wealthy families one by one. In the future, I will stand on the top of the continent and let everyone look up to me. "
Duan Xinchou came outside and was blown by the wind, only to find that his back was soaked. No wonder it is said that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. This is indeed extremely dangerous. If you don't handle it well this time, I'm afraid your future will be ruined. .
He had just walked out not far when he saw Zhou Qing looking at him with a smile on his face. It was obvious that his performance satisfied everyone very much and he would surely achieve success in the future.
But he still lacked a support, a family that could support him from behind. When he saw Zhang Ying looking at him with a smile on his face, his heart suddenly warmed up, knowing that he had everything in place.
