Dong Xianliang hesitated and expressed his willingness to listen to the price first and then consider who he represents.

The head of the family should know that the firewood and rice are expensive.

First, let’s consider whether you have so much money.

Don't be able to pay the bills then, that would be embarrassing.

"OK!"

When Chu Tianxiu saw the "customer" yelling, he immediately became enthusiastic and said, "If I join forces with you, Dong Xianliang, it will be limited to you personally, but it does not include the Censorate and the Confucian faction in the world.

My promise is, 'You Dong Xianliang only need to submit memorials to the court and criticize the annual election. I guarantee that you Dong Xianliang is safe and sound, not lose your official position, and even be promoted and made a fortune!'.

The price you want to pay me is, ‘Out me a huge favor’. Next time I ask you to repay this favor, you can’t refuse what you want you to do’.”

Chu Tianxiu said, and said to Zuer who was grinding ink on the side and silently: "Zuer, take the paper and write down all these. This is to sign an agreement, press the handprint, and sign and write it!"

He would not let Dong Xianliang go back on his word afterwards.

"Yes, son-in-law!"

Zuer immediately agreed sweetly, took the paper and pen, and wrote down as the son-in-law said.

She likes to watch her son-in-law discuss business the most, and she is full of tricks to dig holes without repetition. From the prince's son Xiang Tiange to Shen Wanbao, the prince-in-law Xie Anran, they all went into the big holes, just waiting for the Internet to be closed later.

Is this Dong Xianliang who came to Yuyuan to discuss business by himself? Is it considered to be a self-invested person?

Uh ~...!

When Dong Xianliang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Xiaohunhou promised to protect him from losing his official position, or even get promoted and make money. He believed that Xiaohunhou's ability could be done. After all, he was the magistrate of Xiaohunhou, and he was not a high-ranking official.

But the consideration is "a huge favor."

Who knows what Xiaohunhou will let him do in the future?

If Xiao Hunhou and his mentor and the Confucian faction have a conflict, Xiao Hunhou forces him to turn against him, wouldn’t he be finished immediately!

Dong Xianliang was extremely alert when he thought of what his mentor said, "Be careful that he was sold and helped count the money."

The risk of this agreement is too great, it is almost the same as a contract for selling your body!

This sales agreement cannot be signed.

"Then... on behalf of the Censorate, what is the price?"

Dong Xianliang said carefully.

“This is simpler.

I formed an alliance with the Censorate and helped Lord Kong break through the old system of the year.

However, after the court established a new system of recruiting students, this young marquis would be the chief examiner of the first term.

The Censor and the Censorate shall not obstruct, and must do their best to help me fight for it."

Chu Tian looked kind and laughed.

As long as he can get the first examiner, scholars and scholars of the Great Chu Dynasty, enjoy the last happy time!

Your good days are not long.

"You want to be the chief examiner of the first term?... But no matter whether it is the new or old system of recruiting students, isn't it only the emperor qualified?"

Dong Xianliang was stunned when he heard this.

This condition is a bit weird.

The right to assess new officials has always been in the hands of the emperor. Even Prime Minister Hu Yong and the Censor could not interfere.

Even if the censor agrees, it will be useless!

How is it possible that the position of the first chief examiner will fall into the hands of Xiao Hunhou.

"Don't worry about this, I will talk about the emperor. I just need Lord Kong and the Censorate to agree with this and he will sign the handprint."

Chu Tianxiu waved his hand and said, "I will help you to abolish the annual ceremony system that prevents Confucian scholars from entering the court. You only need to help me become the first examiner of the new system. This transaction is very cost-effective!"

Dong Xianliang weighed it carefully.

This second agreement is very beneficial to the Censorate, but neither he nor his mentor can give the promise of the first examiner.

He asked unwillingly: "What if I represent the Confucian school and become an alliance with you? What is the offer?"

"If I join forces with the Confucian faction in the world, I will not only help you break through the annual election system, but also help you to prosper.

But as a consideration, Confucian scholars all over the world should respect me as the deputy leader!

I don’t take much advantage of you either. It’s only ten years, but it will be inappropriate after ten years.”

Chu Tianxiu said thornyly.

“…”

Dong Xianliang was a little confused.

Assistant leader?

What?

In the pre-Qin period, Confucianism was a school of thought. Only a group of sages such as Confucius led their disciples to spread Confucianism.

When it arrived at the Great Chu Dynasty, a "Confucian school" appeared in the court.

But this is just a group of Confucian scholars and officials gather together. The Confucian scholars at the bottom support each other, strive to enter the court to become officials, and demonstrate their own governance philosophy.

From ancient times to the present, Confucianism has no sect or fixed hierarchical organization.

The Confucian school of Great Chu only regarded the censor Kong Hanyou as its leader, so there was no sect organization.

Without a teaching, there is naturally no leader, and the deputy leader said it.

"Don't worry about what this deputy leader is.

My Xiaohunhou formed an alliance with the Confucian faction to help you Confucian faction prosper. When you Confucian scholars all over the world have to call me the deputy leader when they see me. It’s that simple.

This condition requires Lord Kong, you Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng, and some core figures of your Confucian officials to sign and seal it!"

Chu Tianxiu didn't care whether there was a leader in the Confucian school.

I want you Confucian scholars who are above the top to be respectful when they see me, Xiao Hunhou, to be respectful and respectful.

If the Confucian faction wanted to make an alliance with him, the little Hunhou had to agree to this harsh condition.

"This... I'll go back and discuss with my mentor."

Dong Xianliang felt a toothache.

He couldn't understand why Chu Tianxiu was thinking about a "deputy leader" who had a false reputation and no real power. As the deputy leader, you can't command the Confucian officials and Confucian scholars!

But this matter is too serious and he can't decide.

The conditions proposed by Xiao Hunhou is too strange. He is "owed favors", "examiner", and "deputy leader", and his vision is too strange.

Dong Xianliang was afraid that there would be a deep pit inside.

It's not visible now.

But if this big pit suddenly pops up later, he is afraid that he will regret it.

Zuer had quickly written three different agreements and handed them over to Dong Xianliang.

If you want to sign, sign and seal any copy.

"I will go back to my mentor to make a decision and then give a reply."

Dong Xianliang was cautious in his sleeves, bowed respectfully, and felt a confused confusion in his heart, and said goodbye and left.

When Chu Tianxiu saw him leaving, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Brother Dong didn't bargain, so he left.

Dong Xianliang is still too persistent and kind, and is too thin-skinned and will not adapt. This is difficult to survive in the officialdom!

Being a great Confucian master is okay, but being a high-ranking official is difficult and easy to be cheated.

...

Zuer was also quite curious, holding his chin and asked, "Son-in-law, I have always heard that there is a very powerful Confucian school in the court. But I have never heard of Confucianism. What are you going to the deputy leader to do?"

"Not now, it doesn't mean there will be no in the future!"

Chu Tianxiu shook her head and said, "You haven't seen this Dong Xianliang, you're so nagging. Does it look like a person?"

"Like who?"

Joey was confused.

"Li Yan's old charlatan!"

Dong Xianliang ran to Moling to be the county magistrate and actually built an altar to call the wind and rain.

He also boasted that he had successfully prayed for rain, such as rainfall when there was less yang energy, and severe drought when there was less yin energy.
