"Who are these two?"

Hearing Li Yan's question, Wen Huanzhang immediately introduced to Li Yan: "This is Chen Kangbo and Chen Changqing, and this is Chen Gongfu and Chen Guozuo."

Just finished talking about the rare talent of a prime minister, it is even rarer for a prime minister to be among the 24 heros of Zhaoxun Pavilion, and here comes another one.

Who?
Chen Kangbo.

Although Chen Kangbo was not as dazzling as Zhao Ding, he was upright and upright. When the country was in crisis, he did not care about his own personal safety and welcomed his family members into Lin'an. ", Zhao Gou once praised Chen Kangbo as "quiet, emphatic, bright and sensitive, and he does not speak rashly, he is also a true prime minister."

Chen Kangbo was praised by the two emperors Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen, which is naturally superior, and the biggest advantage of this person is that he is not jealous and can recommend talents for the emperor. For example, he knows that Yu Yun is both civil and military, so he strongly recommends him. Only then did Yu Yunwen command the three armies to defeat the Golden Emperor Wanyan Liang.

But Chen Gongfu is a tough guy, and he never wants to cling to the tough bones of the powerful.

When Zhao Ji was in power, Chen Gongfu hated Zhao Ji's favorite ministers Zhu Xi, Cai Jing, and Wang Fu.

After Zhao Huan became emperor, Chen Gongfu said to Zhao Huan: "Cai Jing and Wang Fu have been working for more than [-] years. The four admonishers Tang Zhong, Shi Ji, Xie Kejia, and Sun Zhi are all inextricably linked to Cai and Wang. If they are allowed to exercise supervisory power, they will definitely not be competent for their work. I hope that His Majesty will choose someone who is simple and straightforward among his ministers, who can live in peace and integrity, who is not attached to power, and who is generous in discussing affairs, as a qualified admonisher!"

The relationship between Chen Gongfu and Li Gang was very good, but in the year of Jingkang, Wu Min and Li Gang fought non-stop every day. Chen Gongfu said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are many opportunities to deal with every day. It is necessary for the monarch and his ministers to work together, but these two important court officials are at odds. , and there are signs. I hope that His Majesty will educate them well so that they can unite as one and secure the country."

Because Chen Gongfu likes to give opinions, he actively offers advice and suggestions on the country's major policies such as finance, taxation, and military affairs, no matter what is assigned to him or not, for the emperor's reference. Even his good friends Li Gang and Zhao Ding couldn't stand him and demoted him.

To be honest, Li Yan had mixed feelings about getting Chen Gongfu here—the good news is that in the future, he may have a critical minister by his side, who can avoid making many mistakes.The worry is that there may be fewer comfortable days in the future.

Li Yan first said to Chen Kangbo: "The virtue is broad and broad, and can win the hearts of the people; the equipment is dignified, and it is full of great things."

Li Yan rushed to Chen Gongfu again and said, "My Wei Zheng is here."

Li Yan's evaluation of these two people can be said to be quite high-one will tell you directly that I am optimistic about you and will reuse you in the future.Another compares it to a famous official in ancient times.

Chen Kangbo has not yet entered an official position. He is just a young man in his 20s. He has received such high praise and approval from Li Yan that he was unable to say what he had thought up before, but it turned out that Chen Gongfu took the lead. .

Chen Gongfu said: "Comparing me to Wei Zheng, does the governor want to be Li Shimin? If so, then the governor can only get one Xu Yuanzhi."

After recovering, Chen Kangbo also said: "If the governor is Xue Rengui, Chen Kangbo is willing to assist, if the governor is Li Shimin, then Chen Kangbo begs to die!"

For these upright people, Li Yan loves and hates at the same time - the love is naturally for their character, and the hate is of course for hating them for being difficult to subdue.

But no matter how difficult it is to subdue them, Li Yan has to find a way to subdue them. Whoever makes them talented? In the end, he was completely defeated by others, and his wife and daughter became other people's playthings, and they also had to bear eternal infamy.

Li Yandao: "Isn't Li Shimin bad? During his reign, he actively listened to the opinions of his officials, governed the world internally, accepted advice with an open mind, practiced strict economy, advised farming and mulberry, so that the people can recuperate, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and created the rule of Zhenguan .Expanding the frontiers and territories, conquering the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, conquering Gaochang, Qiuci, and Tuyuhun, severely invading Goguryeo, and setting up four towns in Anxi. Li Jiancheng's country has returned to the Chinese nation a peaceful and prosperous age, and returned to the Chinese nation a vast territory."

As soon as Li Yan opened his mouth, Chen Gongfu knew that he had given a wrong example. Li Shimin's achievements were so outstanding that he covered up the huge stain of killing his brothers and killing all his children to force his father to abdicate.

Chen Gongfu remedied: "The governor is not Taizong, let alone the official..."

Chen Gongfu wanted to say: "The officials are sages." But Chen Gongfu, who has always only told the truth, really couldn't say the words against his will, so he could only change his words temporarily: "Besides, the people can't stand the trouble."

Li Yan first said to Ruan Xiaoqi at the door: "Go to the back hall and invite the lady here." Then he said to Chen Gongfu: "You are an official in the same place as Zhu Xi, don't you know how their monarchs and ministers are tossing about the common people, you might as well tell you, it won't work How long before Fang La was about to revolt, Fang La and his congregants had to turn against Zhao Ji and Zhu Xi because they couldn't survive, and Tian Hu and Wang Qing, they were about to become kings, as if they were now They already have hundreds of thousands of followers, if Zhao Ji didn’t torture them, but instead used the energy and money he gave them to help them, would there be so many people rebelling?”

Chen Gongfu opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but he knew very well what Zhu Xi had done in the south of the Yangtze River, and he really couldn't speak for Zhao Ji and Zhu Xi.

Chen Kangbo, who was not yet born, didn't know Zhao Ji's stupidity, so he still had illusions about Zhao Ji, saying: "Officials are sages, only treacherous ministers are in power, that's why..."

At this moment, Li Shishi came in holding a box.

As soon as he came in, Li Shishi gave Li Yan a coquettish look, as if to say: "Use me again!"

Li Yan gave Li Shishi an apologetic look, and said to Li Shishi with his eyes: "I will make it up to you tonight." Then Li Yan looked at Chen Kangbo and said, "I'll tell you now how sage Zhao Ji is."

After speaking, Li Yan pointed at Li Shishi and said: "You may not know her, but you must have heard of her name, she is..."

Zhao Ding couldn't help but said, "Li Xingshou?"

Seeing that Zhao Ding recognized Li Shishi, Li Yan said with a smile: "Yuan Zhen even recognized my concubine, it's easy to handle."

Speaking of this, Li Yan did not look at Zhao Ding's shocked expression when he heard that Li Shishi was Li Yan's concubine, but signaled to Li Shishi.

Seeing this, Li Shishi carefully placed the square box in his hand on the table, then opened the lid, and then stepped aside.

Li Yandao: "You are all well-educated people, and you will be able to determine whether this thing is true or not. Please help me identify it."

Even Wen Huanzhang, Qiao Daoqing, Yang Zhi and the others didn't know that Li Yan had this Jade Seal, so they couldn't help looking.

When they saw it, their pupils all shrank, and they immediately stepped forward to watch carefully!

Seeing this, Xiao Jiasui, Zhao Ding, Chen Kangbo, and Chen Gongfu couldn't help but look at Chuan Guo Yuxi, and then all of them shrank their pupils, and then hurried forward to watch carefully!
At the same time, Li Yan's voice sounded: "Shangyuanye two years ago..."
