"You, you, you, you said that we were obsessed with the mind and were bewitched by Yan Yunge. Lord Ling, Lord Ling, you are not much better than us."

Prince Zhong looked at the show with a look.

He was very happy to see Ling Changzhi suffer a defeat and was in a dilemma.

It's so cool!

Ling Changzhi snorted coldly, as if you could not compare with me.

"That's an extraordinary time, so you have to act very well. If you really want to scold, go and scold Shi Wen."

"Shi Wen is your uncle."

"At that time, he was the prime minister and took charge of everything. I would also obey his orders."

Prince Zhong rolled his eyes, Ling Changzhi was shameless.

He coughed lightly, "Just give me a word, should you cooperate with Mrs. Yan?"

Ling Changzhi frowned, "I have said so much, but you didn't listen to a word."

"I listened to every word you said. In summary, it was nothing more than doing business with Pingyang County, trying to make a fuss with tigers and gaining the enemy. In a few years, Pingyang County will be strong and strong, and will definitely turn around and take a bite. By then, the family will suffer heavy losses and the old rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years will be broken. But... what I see is different."

Ling Changzhi snorted, barely showing a little interest, "I dare to ask the prince-consort, what have you seen again."

Prince Zhong said solemnly: "In recent years, I have also occasionally paid attention to Yan Yunge's movements. Especially in the past two years, she has indeed made people admire her. Looking at her behavior, people in the world say that she is violent, but she actually doesn't like to force people to submit by force.

Her way of doing things is to cooperate if she can cooperate. She can cooperate with merchants without any grudges, and naturally she can cooperate with a family without any grudges. At least, she does not hate a family and does not intend to kill the family. Her way of doing things is actually to seek common ground while reserving differences.

Lord Ling, the capital is lost, and we can no longer hold on to the incompleteness, and we must make changes. Look at the young masters of the aristocratic family, they all live and die indulge in their lives because they all think that there is no hope in the world and the court is incompetent. If they lose the capital, the people, and even most of the country, they will not let you change it?

With the old tricks, how many years can the Great Wei Dynasty survive? Tell me, how many years can it last? Although I am not as smart as you, I can’t be politically keen. But I understand one truth: If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will understand.

There have never been constant rules in the business world. Rules follow people. How could the court let the old antique rules hundreds of years ago be bound by their hands and feet? It is ridiculous! When I was in Shaofu, I thought that many of the rules and many of the ways of doing things were too old-fashioned. But...oh, it would be fine if I didn't mention them."

Speaking of the years when he was the Shaofu family order, Prince Zhong was full of bitter tears.

It’s hard to be an official!

Especially for the emperor's housekeeper, it is even more difficult.

He was dismissed from the Shaofu Family Order by the new emperor, and he was also depressed for a while.

But now he is very satisfied.

If he doesn't do the Shaofu family order, he can live a few more years.

Ling Changzhi stared at him, "So, the prince consort agrees with the imperial examination?"

Prince Zhong laughed at himself, "I don't agree with anything, I just agree that suitability is good. Lord Ling, now is the best time to change. If the capital is lost, the people are lost, and the country is lost half. Everyone is looking forward to changes in the court. At this time, any reform measures will have much less resistance.

In a few years, everyone will get used to the life in Jianzhou. When the time comes, the resistance will be great. Anyway, if I don’t refuse new things, it will be much better than the constant life. Only when new things appear on the market will people have new passions.”

Ling Changzhi smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that changing means that the interests of some people will be damaged. How can you be sure that the person who was damaged is not you. If the interests of your Zhong family were damaged, would you still support the changes?"

Prince Zhong laughed, "Mr. Ling, you can't help but underestimate the mind of my prince. The Zhong family can afford a little loss. Moreover, our Zhong family has never been static. Even the family rules have been changed several times within thirty years.

On the other hand, your Ling family rules have not changed in many years? What are the old antique rules of your family sticking to how many years ago?

After all, the reason why you, Lord Ling, is afraid of Pingyang County is because once Pingyang County forces the imperial examinations to be held, the biggest loss is your Ling family, which may shake your Ling family's position in the literary world.

But Yan Yunge gave you the opportunity to cooperate with you and give you time to change. With the financial resources and background of your Ling family, you can set up a college and train students. When the imperial examination is officially launched, the first three students are all your Ling family college students, and the court is full of your Ling Changzhi students.

The imperial examination is not as serious as you think, and it can also use the imperial examination to kick out a group of stubborn old antiques from aristocratic families and change them to a new atmosphere. By then, your Ling family will be the veritable top aristocratic family in the world."

Ling Changzhi exclaimed, "It was the first time that I saw the prince consort's tongue-in-law's face, which was amazing. This was not what the prince consort thought of himself.

I am brave enough to guess. This passage of speech is nothing unexpected. It is a draft written by Yan Yunge. You just need to memorize it and throw it to me at the appropriate time.

It's really unexpected. I never expected that when I opposed Yan Yunge's entry into your Zhong family, I now have such in-depth cooperation with Yan Yunge. The feng shui turns! As long as I live long enough, I can see any strange things. This is true and not to deceive others."

Prince Zhong lowered his head and coughed lightly, a little embarrassed.

This scene really made him lose face.

But he is a man who can bend and stretch.

Otherwise, Princess Shang would not have been killed by Princess Chengyang.

From this we can see that he is really good-minded and is a tolerant person.

He laughed, "This made Lord Ling see, Lord Ling really looked like a torch. Mrs. Yan guessed right, and he really couldn't hide anything from you. Since you guessed everything, I'll ask Mrs. Yan, is Lord Ling willing to surrender to cooperate with Pingyang County, and win-win for both sides?"

Ling Changzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yan Yunge asked you to spread what he said, "I don't want to guess."

Mrs. Zhong said: "Mrs. Yan said that even if one day the imperial examination is held, people who cannot afford to study can still not. Reading has always been a luxury. For small families, they must use the power of the whole family to cultivate a student.

The court cannot be a stagnant pool. The water must flow and be fresh and clean, and will not cause insects and rot. It must give the common people a hope and a channel to change their destiny so that everyone can grit their teeth and overcome difficulties and support the emperor and the court.

If the common people don’t give the common people a chance, the common people will naturally rebel against this dynasty. A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, that’s it. But every time the dynasty changes, a group of aristocratic families falls and new aristocratic families rise.

The old and new changes are inevitable, so why not complete the old and new changes in a peaceful way? Pingyang County never thought of being an enemy with the court, let alone being an enemy with aristocratic families. Everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences, make progress together, and make money together.

I finished speaking, this is what Mrs. Yan wants me to convey. How should Lord Ling choose? Hurry up! If you are unhappy to cooperate, you will have other families waiting to cooperate."

Ling Changzhi gently tapped the table, "She said this? Is there anything else?"

Prince Zhong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

He nodded, "That's all. If you are not satisfied, take the boat north and you can arrive in Pingyang County in a few days and go directly to her for an interview."

Ling Changzhi laughed, "I want to invite her to Jianzhou as a guest."

Prince Zhong laughed wildly, and after laughing, he said, "You know very well that she can't come to Jianzhou. I'm afraid there will be no return! Her life is very valuable. In private, many people want to take the head on her neck and cut off the so-called disaster."

Ling Changzhi closed his eyes and thought deeply.

Prince Zhong did not urge him, and waited patiently while eating tea and snacks.

As a prince consort, what he lacks the most is patience.

Think about it, can you do it without some patience when serving Princess Chengyang, such an irritable master?

I have to admit that Princess Chengyang married a good husband, who was tolerant enough and had a good temper enough.

It was her own father, Emperor Xuanzong, who loved her and made this marriage for her.

a long time……

Ling Changzhi opened his eyes, "For twenty years, students under Yan Yunge cannot enter the court. This is the bottom line of my official. If she agrees, both parties can cooperate.

If she doesn't agree, I'm sorry. This official will personally unite with major families to block Pingyang County. Whoever dares to cooperate with Pingyang County will be my enemy. Your Zhong family is no exception.

As for the Xu family, the Cui family... all the aristocratic families that can be counted, don’t worry. Without this official nodding, they will not cooperate with Pingyang County.”

Prince Zhong was speechless and shocked.

Ling Changzhi snorted coldly, his eyes coldly, "Are the prince consort stupid? Why don't you hurry up and pass the message."

"No, no, no, no, there is no need to pass on the message. Yan Yunge wrote it in the letter. She said, Lord Ling, you will definitely put forward conditions. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a time limit. She has promised in the letter that within 20 years, students of Pingyang County will never be involved in the court."

Ling Changzhi's face changed drastically and he was shocked.

"Where is the letter? Where is the letter? Could she have heard from the gods? Even my official's reaction is clearly calculated?"

This is too terrible.

If all your reactions are within the expectations of your opponent, how can you play?

It is equivalent to being led by your opponent every step.

Ling Changzhi felt a lot of pressure and sweated heavily.

Prince Zhong quickly took out the letter from his arms.

He did everything according to the steps Yan Yunge told him.

Only when Ling Changzhi nodded and agreed to negotiate terms can the existence of this letter be exposed.

And the letter was passed to Ling Changzhi.

If the agreement cannot be reached, this letter will be deemed to have not existed and will be destroyed directly.

It doesn't matter if you keep it as evidence.

Anyway, if Yan Yunge dares to write such a letter, she is not afraid of being discovered.
