The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 75
After Prime Minister Qu said a few words of courtesy, the banquet began.

Today's banquet is mainly to recruit wise men with both ability and political integrity. Most of these people come from the common people, and of course some of them are students from some old gentlemen, and some sons and brothers of famous nobles who want to become officials in the court.

Although the main recruits today are the aides of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but don't underestimate the aides, many adults in the court started as aides.

There is a folk saying: "Ten years of hard study and going to Beijing to catch the exam is better than going to the prime minister's mansion as an aide!"

This is true, just say that Mr. Song, who died some time ago, used to be an aide in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was promoted by the Prime Minister within three years, and his official position was higher than that of the new champion of the dynasty.

Therefore, every year when Prime Minister Qu's mansion held a banquet to recruit sages, the hall was full of guests.

Today, in addition to Prime Minister Qu, General Zhen Guo is also here, which undoubtedly makes these talents even more excited.

When they stepped forward to talk about their ambitions, explain the national conditions, the people's livelihood issues, and their own insights, they were even more passionate.

Some people with mediocre literary talents but possessed martial arts skills even performed a sword dance.

Xia Jin was fascinated and almost applauded several times.

I have to say that this kind of banquet is still more interesting, but it is much more beautiful than the wriggling dances of those ladies.

But at this moment, Qu Renjie, who was sitting diagonally across from her, kept staring at Xia Jin.

That gaze seemed to see Xia Jin through. If it wasn't for Lin Ziyi's presence, he would have rushed over to question her.

"Prime Minister, General, the talents that the grassroots want to display cannot be displayed here, can we move to the outer courtyard?" said a tall, thin, dark-skinned man.

Compared with recruiting magi, Qu Cheng has never been sloppy, and his patience is also excellent. As long as he can show his talent, he will cooperate with everything he needs.

"General, let's move outside. It's so hot and crowded here. It's more fun to go outside to see the scenery."

"of course can!"

Prime Minister Qu stood up, and Lin Ziyi also stood up and went out together. Xia Jin followed Lin Ziyi, and Qu Linglong followed Prime Minister Qu. Standing up like this, walking one after the other, Xia Jin and Qu Linglong happened to be side by side. up.

Qu Linglong snorted coldly.

"Xia Jin, I didn't expect you to come here? That's right, with your kind, you probably seduced the general a lot at night!"

Xia Jin glanced at her and said with a smile, "Miss Qu understands so well, have you ever done this before?"

Qu Linglong choked, Xia Jin took a quick step and walked in front of her.

Seeing Xia Jin's back, Qu Linglong stomped her feet angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait!"

When the party went outside, the servants arranged seats in the courtyard, while the others stood and watched.

The tall and thin man cupped his hands, and then ordered someone to fetch a bow and arrow, hang the apple on a distant tree branch, draw the bow and shoot arrows, and each shot hit the thin thread on which the apple was hanging until the apple fell to the ground.

After finishing, the thin and tall man cupped his hands and said, "You're showing your ugliness!"

Lin Ziyi applauded, "Good swordsmanship!"

After being praised by the general, the tall and thin man's eyes lit up, and he knew that the opportunity had come. He immediately cupped his fists on one knee and said:
"My name is Chang Shun, from Liufu Village. I learned archery at the age of five, and I was able to go hunting by myself at the age of eight. I was able to shoot eagles at the age of ten. Now I am twenty-one. I think I am good at archery. Today I boldly recommend myself, hoping to join the Black Tiger Army! General please take it in!"

Lin Ziyi glanced at Prime Minister Qu and said, "Prime Minister Qu, do you mind?"

Prime Minister Qu twitched the corners of his mouth. If he said he was bothered at this time, it would not be because he seemed small-minded. Although he was displeased, he had no choice but to say generously: "His talent is suitable for development in the army. It is his luck that the general is willing to take him in."

"Since Prime Minister Qu said so, then you will follow this general to the barracks to report." Lin Ziyi said lightly.

Chang Shun was so excited that he knelt down and stuttered.

With his beginning, there are more people performing martial arts in the future, and some people can even perform martial arts while reciting poems against each other.

Of course, they all recommended themselves to join the Black Tiger Army.

The Black Tiger Army is the most difficult army to join. Every year, only elites can be recruited, and their military pay is the highest.

Lin Ziyi was generous to his subordinates. In addition to the military salary given by the court, he would also pay extra. If some soldiers died, he would even help take care of their families.

It can be said that the Black Tiger Army is the best army in the entire Yan Kingdom. It is absolutely not an exaggeration.

Leaving aside how ruthless Lin Ziyi was on the battlefield, let's talk about how he treated his own people, there was nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, being able to join the Black Tiger Army will definitely reach the point where even the seven miles and eight towns are envious!

For a time, there were more and more people showing military strategies and performing archery and sword skills, and they unanimously hoped that Lin Ziyi would take him in.

On the contrary, Qu Cheng became a foil.

The recent death of Mr. Song has affected him to some extent. Although it is not said on the surface, it has been spread secretly that Mr. Song was silenced.

As for who killed it, everyone dare not say, but they all know it in their hearts.

In short, if you want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat that meal, you have to take this risk. If you are lucky, you will be promoted and get rich.

In comparison, Lin Ziyi is simply too good!
Of course they chose to go to Lin Ziyi.

Ever since, the prime minister's recruiting banquet has become the general's.

Looking at this scene, Xia Jin couldn't help thinking that these people have eyes!

The benefactor is not only generous, but also protects his shortcomings, not only protecting his shortcomings, but also being cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It's just that the rumored reputation is too bad, and it always gives people a bad feeling. I guess it's because the image public relations are not good enough, and I didn't publicize the good things I did.

On the contrary, some people with bad intentions are looking for stains everywhere to spread.

Xia Jin even felt that the matter of skinning people to make war drums was a rumor spread by someone to discredit him.

They performed one by one, and Xia Jin didn't even have a seat. Xia Jin was lazy and didn't like to stand when she could sit.

"Can I go around the garden?"

Lin Ziyi nodded and said, "Don't go too far."

"Ok!"

Xia Jin stood up and walked towards the garden. When he just entered the door, he saw a gazebo in the distance and planned to sit there.

As soon as she arrived at the gazebo, Qu Renjie stood in front of her, grabbed her arm, looked around in a panic, and after making sure there was no one there, he threatened:
"Why are you here! Let me tell you, you are no longer a princess, and this is my place! I advise you to be quiet! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xia Jin tilted her head and looked at him blankly, "What are you talking about, son?"

"Stop pretending, I know it's you!" Qu Renjie looked fierce.

Xia Jin blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Did the young master recognize the wrong person?"

Seeing Xia Jin's bewildered expression, Qu Renjie frowned, "You're really not her? Don't pretend! Her wrist was burnt and left a scar, just show me her hand and you'll know!"

Lin Ziyi glanced at the direction Xia Jin was walking, and saw that she was being entangled.

He stood up, walked over quickly with a cold face!
