Chapter 224: Attitude of Seeking Help
The imperial examination is the best way to screen people, and those who can be screened out are the best talents among thousands.
Yan Xing smiled at his smile and said, "Didn't you have to test the talent before? You were afraid of finding people with bad behavior. Why do you accept everyone now?"
In the past, when Lu Chenyang recruited advisors, he had to take an exam, so at least he could tell something from the answer sheet.
Lu Chenyang said, "There was no other way before. There really wasn't anyone, so we had to hold our own exams to select talented people. But I know them all; they're all well-read, so there's nothing to test them on. As for character... no matter who sets the questions or what they're like, it's impossible to tell a person's character from just one exam."
"I believe that the environment can influence a person," Lu Chenyang explained. "If the superior is corrupt and lazy, then the people below will naturally follow suit. Lingnan and Shu are places I built with my own hands. I don't believe they can cause chaos in such an environment. Even if they have such intentions, I can quickly discover it."
So he is not worried about this, which comes from his complete confidence in the power in his hands and his ability to fully control the territory in his hands.
Lingnan, Shu, Ningzhou and Quzhou now belong completely to him.
Lu Chenyang said to Yan Xing, "I can't guarantee that everyone I employ is a good person, but I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater either. But I am confident that if they have bad intentions, they will definitely not cause serious consequences."
Lu Chenyang was too lazy to distinguish between good and bad people. The important thing was to deceive people first... No, the important thing was to coax people over and make them work for him.
Even if they make mistakes, it’s no big deal. Small mistakes are harmless, but big mistakes... they can’t make them.
Lu Chenyang is confident.
Yan Xing just looked at him. When he said this, the calm look on his face was very charming.
Yan Xing couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He liked the calm and confident look of him, as if everything was under control.
Lu Chenyang had always been like this, from the day he met him. He was always so calm and composed, facing Zhao Qinghui's condescending attitude, he was also calm and composed, handling the situation with ease.
From the first time they met, it seemed destined that he was the kind of person his heart would fall for.
Yan Xing's gaze made Lu Chenyang feel a little uncomfortable. His eyes were too hot, as if they were going to devour him.
"By the way, I have something to talk to you about." Lu Chenyang said, "I have a twin sister who disappeared six years ago. I asked the prince to help me find her, but you know my current relationship with the prince, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor and tell the prince to pay more attention to her."
Yan Xing felt that he was hallucinating. What did Lu Chenyang say?
"You said... you have a twin sister?" Yan Xing couldn't help but repeat: "I've known you for so long, how come I never knew you actually had a sister?"
Lu Chenyang blinked: "Didn't I say that?" He said innocently, then lightly shirked responsibility: "Well, maybe it's because you didn't ask."
Yan Xing looked at him quietly and couldn't help but remind him: "You are asking me for help now, Lord Lu, is this your attitude of begging for help?"
Lu Chenyang coughed twice, then said, "Well... there really isn't any chance to tell you. I didn't mean to hide it from you, and this concerns my sister's reputation..."
He had an apologetic expression on his face, as if he was blaming himself.
So Yan Xing thought of an excuse for him. Well, it was true that when they met, it was still unknown whether he was an enemy or a friend. Moreover, at that time, he could not protect himself, so even if Lu Chenyang told him, he could not help.
When Yan Xing thought about this, he decided to forgive Lu Chenyang.
He thought it was amazing that Lu Chenyang had a younger sister, a boy and a girl. This was truly magical.
"What does your sister look like? Is she very similar to you?" Yan Xing asked curiously.
Most people would be a little curious about the twins, but Lu Chenyang was used to it. He said calmly, "My sister is much better than me. She's smarter, more capable, and prettier than me. Lu Chenyang is really far behind her."
Zhao Xilai brought in tea and nodded in agreement when he heard this.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Excellency is absolutely right. My daughter has been sensible, intelligent, obedient, and kind since she was a child... She is the best, best, best person in the world!"
Yan Xing raised his eyebrows. Zhao Xi always said, "My master is the best in the world," but now he changed his tone and praised Miss Lu.
"You've aroused my curiosity. I really want to meet your sister." Yan Xing thought for a moment and said, "But I don't really believe what you said. You are the best."
Yan Xing felt that he had to make his attitude clear. No matter how good his sister was, she would never be better than him. In his heart, he was the best!
Lu Chenyang thought about it and felt that this was no problem, after all, it was the same person!
So Lu Chenyang was very happy and said with a smile: "The prince has good taste."
Yan Xing looked proud. He thought for a moment and said, "Since she's your sister, she's also my sister. Don't worry, I'll take this matter to heart." He then asked, "Can you tell me in more detail how our sister disappeared? Does she have any enemies?"
Lu Chenyang's eyes suddenly became deep. Does it count as an enemy if he just offended the emperor?
Lu Chenyang shook his head: "He... doesn't have any enemies." He said in a half-truthful tone: "After returning to Beijing, I also did some research and found that he might be related to the Crown Prince."
After Lu Chenyang finished speaking, he told the story about the medicinal fragrance he smelled at the prince's place.
Lu Chenyang said: "Our medicine was all made by Zhao Xi, I will never make a mistake."
Yan Xing frowned immediately. A woman had a relationship with the prince. He immediately thought that the prince had forcibly abducted a woman.
Yan Xing said cautiously, "The Crown Prince would never do such a thing as forcibly abducting a commoner girl."
But who can guarantee that? Yan Xing had never known the taste of love before, but now that he has a sweetheart, he vaguely understands the pain of being unable to control one's feelings.
If one day he could be with his beloved day and night, he would temporarily lose his mind and keep that person by his side.
What's more, she is Lu Chenyang's sister, she must be a very good person, it is possible that the prince was confused for a moment.
Yan Xing couldn't jump to conclusions. He couldn't sit still any longer. "I'll go ask the prince."
Lu Chenyang nodded repeatedly, "He is the prince after all, he is the king and I am the minister, but we are brothers if we go together. Cheng Xiao, I'll leave my sister's matter to you." He looked at him earnestly, as if he was the person he trusted the most.
Yan Xing couldn't stand this look, and his blood immediately rushed to his head: "Your sister is my sister, I will definitely bring her back safely."
After Yan Xing finished speaking, he turned around and left to help Lu Chenyang find his sister.
Lu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Zhao Xi looked at Lu Chenyang with admiration and said, "Your Excellency is truly amazing! I really admire you!"
Seeing how cute she was, Lu Chenyang couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Lu Xueyin was not actually very worried about Lu Chenyang's safety, but she wanted to know why and what had happened to Lu Chenyang.
Zhao Xi asked, "Sir, if we find the young master, will you change your identities back?"
Lu Chenyang was silent for a moment. This is a good question.
His eyes were calm, and he said in a calm tone, "Since there was no solution then, and there is no solution now, let's just make the best of it."
Lu Xueyin didn't doubt Lu Chenyang's abilities, but their perspectives differed. Of one thing, Lu Xueyin was certain: Lu Chenyang would never attempt to establish himself as king.
This was different from Lu Xueyin's thinking. In Lu Xueyin's view, she had the ability to make the world a better place, so why couldn't it be her? She had always done things to promote this goal.
If it were Lu Chenyang, he would definitely not agree.
A team only needs one leader. Everything the Lu Family Army has now is built by her, and she won't give it up to anyone else, even if that person is her own brother.
She had asked the prince to find someone because she really wanted to find Lu Chenyang and make sure he was safe. After all, this was one of the reasons why she had taken Lu Chenyang's place as an official.
She will not forget her original intention. As for the troubles after finding Lu Chenyang, she is confident that she can solve them.
Yuan Ming, the scholar who had offended Lu Chenyang and went to apologize to him, left the house, feeling suspicious.
He thought that with Lu Chenyang's personality, he would definitely be sarcastic and cold towards him, but he didn't expect that he would actually say that the past is the past.
How could that be possible? Lu Chenyang had said that he would never forget this, and would never forgive him, and would make him pay back a hundredfold in the future.
Now that Lu Chenyang is extremely powerful, he knows that Lu Chenyang is a man of his words, and now he can't escape, so he simply comes to beg for mercy, hoping that Lu Chenyang will not vent his anger on his family because of his good attitude.
But he didn't expect that Lu Chenyang would let him go?
Thinking about what he had done, Yuan Ming still found it a little unbelievable.
