While Chen Rong and Zhang Jin were talking, they hired a car and asked the coachman to send them directly to the branch address.

The journey went smoothly, and we didn't waste too much time, so we arrived at the branch. But just now we settled down, the two were shocked by the situation outside, and we saw that the place had been surrounded by many guards.

As soon as he saw two people getting out of the car, someone hurriedly turned in and reported. After a while, Ye Chunqiu, dressed in casual clothes, slowly came out from inside.

Ye Chunqiu was still the same and full of energy. When he saw Zhang Jin and Chen Rong, he smiled and scolded: "Let me wait, my two brothers can really delay."

Zhang Jin's eyes widened in shock.

Hell this is it!

He and Chen Rong didn't say they would come before, and they didn't report it in advance. They even decided to come here temporarily. How could he say he could wait? Moreover, even if he came, how could he know that they would come to the branch?

Although he was full of questions, Zhang Jin still rushed forward and stumbled to salute. Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "I looked at Brother Zhang's eyes and knew what he wanted to do. Come quickly. There is the braised sea bass you like to eat. It is a Ningbo chef who I personally invited. They are all tastes from my hometown. What about wine, of course, is good wine."

Zhang Jin smiled suddenly, and his nature was revealed. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to punch Ye Chunqiu on his shoulder, and wanted to say something, which was just like that. But his hand was slightly raised, and he still held it back. He did not insist on continuing to salute Ye Chunqiu, but followed Ye Chunqiu in awkwardly.

In the small hall of the branch of Taibai Poetry Society, it was obvious that Ye Chunqiu was out of the way and had already arranged it. A table of wine and food was steaming hot. It was very simple, but the dishes were the dishes that the three of them were used to eating in the restaurant.

Chen Rong finally couldn't help asking what she said in her heart, saying, "How could Chunqiu know that we will come to Qinglong?"

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "This is not easy. In this world, there is no secret for the Jinyiwei and the King of Lu."

These casual words made Zhang Jin and Chen Rong feel cold, meaning you know everything?

Uh...it's so scary.

Ye Chunqiu saw their expressions, curled his lips and smiled, "It was His Majesty who scared you that he had issued a secret order and delivered it to me. I calculated that you should have arrived today, but if you go to the station to pick it up with great fanfare, it would be too silly. Later, I thought about it, you came to the poetry club and I came here early in the morning to wait for the rabbit. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since we were friends.

I have never been together, and the past is vivid. We now have wives and each has their own affairs. It is not easy to be together. So I took the excuse to avoid laziness and ignored everything in the past two days. We specially welcomed Brother Zhang and Brother Chen. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. If you invite you to eat some delicacies, it will defile the two brothers. So I invited the master from Ningbo to make some home-cooked side dishes from my hometown. Well, after saying so much, I have a dry mouth, and have a sip of wine first."

Zhang Jin was the most unstoppable. At first, he thought that he had to endure it and not be beaten by the 'Emperor Taizu'. Now seeing Ye Chunqiu so natural, he finally let go of his mind and couldn't help saying, "Where is the friendship between gentlemen, it's a delicacy that defiles us. It's clear that you are stingy, so you use this side dish to make excuses."

Chen Rong suddenly smiled and said, "Don't listen to him nonsense in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and raised his glass to take a respect, saying, "Not to mention this, now, I want to congratulate my two brothers."

Zhang Jin said: "Where does the joy come from?"

Ye Chunqiu said with some meaning: "The two brothers are about to enter the government and show their ambitions. Isn't this a joy?"

This seems to be the case, but Chen Rong still feels a little unsure. He drinks a drink on his own and then says, "After that being said, I'm afraid... I may not be able to do it."

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No, this time, the two brothers are really going to make great achievements. You still don't know the importance of this poetry club. Now I have read Your Majesty's secret decree. It seems that the new policy has reached the most critical point. Your Majesty urgently needs to smash the old nobles in the past, but what to do? Since Your Majesty is doing good and really intends to change these eight-legged essays to recruit scholars, then think about it, how many people in the Taibai Poetry Club can take this opportunity to enter the officialdom? Even if these people's official positions were initially

Humble, but it can't stand many people. In my opinion, this time, I am afraid that I will be able to recruit 30,000 scholars and 30,000 scholars. 30,000 people will be filled into all states and counties. Although they are all small officials who are not in the rank of the ants, they can kill the elephant. If someone passes the Jinshi and enters the Hanlin, then the students of the poetry club can have more than 10,000 high school students, what does this mean? Even if this game is set up, the two are the leaders of the poetry club. You new officials have become the target of public criticism."

Ye Chunqiu paused and continued: "Those civil and military officials who rely on the eight-legged essay and titled the gold list, and many scholars, may not dare to scold the emperor, but their hostility towards you new officials is obviously the most serious. At that time, you must criticize and even sarcasticly mock and scold. These new officials will have to accumulate anger in their hearts. So who will fight back? Relying on one or two ninth-rank small officials? No, by then, they will inevitably start to join forces, and next... you say, who will be the leader?"

"So the responsibility of the two brothers is to gather these people up and assist His Majesty and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet at any time. Together with the new officials, the great burden is to deal with the overall situation of the new policy. Therefore, your future is just around the corner. Even if you enter the cabinet in ten or eight years, you may not have no chance."

Ye Chunqiu was very polite, and Chen Rong and Zhang Jin couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhang Jin hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Chunqiu with bright eyes and said, "I am a juren, and I am also qualified to enter the cabinet?"

Ye Chunqiu thought about it and said with a smile: "Brother Chen has a better chance."

Zhang Jin immediately gave Ye Chunqiu a blank look, snorted, and said, "You just look down on me. If you don't say this, you're so frustrated. Come and drink. Anyway, the hops are your money, so I'll drink it to relieve my anger."
