Zhang Anshi looked at Liu Tan in astonishment. He was actually quite calm when he heard Liu Tan say that he was not suitable to be an official.

For example, the second-generation officials of his age usually have a job, but they don't go to the real job, but hang up and continue to study or study.

It's just that he didn't dare, because his father was dead, and he died not so gloriously.

Even if the truth finally came out and the emperor avenged him, the brothers were not well received because of his father's bad reputation during his lifetime.

Zhang Anshi has such a good job, so he must work hard and strive for stability.

But if given the chance, he would really like to study.

It's a pity that I can't find a good teacher.

Zhang Anshi had many thoughts in his mind, and he didn't think that Liu Tan was trying to persuade him to quit.

What qualifications does he have to make the king of the northern border tactful?If people want to use it, they can use it, and if they don't want to use it, they can throw him aside.

So His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm really wants him to continue studying?

He couldn't help his heart beating faster, but he was a little confused, why did His Highness let him go to study?

Generally, only when cultivating someone they are particularly optimistic about, the superior person will personally care whether the other party has read and how many books he has read.

Just like people who can go to further studies in later generations will generally be promoted.

However, the answer here is too simple for Liu Tan. Zhang Anshi is a capable minister of the world. He doesn’t know if there is anyone in history who has helped Zhang Anshi like this. If no one helps Zhang Anshi can reach that level, let him study hard If the foundation is laid well, can he be even stronger?

Zhang He said stupidly: "Brother She has been studying by himself."

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips, and couldn't help but want to sigh, his brother... is really lacking.

However, Liu Tan is very tolerant towards Zhang He, not to mention other things, this person's nostalgia and friendship are enough for Liu Tan to treat him differently.

He smiled and said: "How can I study by myself? When encountering things that I don't understand, I still have to ask the teacher to answer them. I heard that Zhang Anshi has a photographic memory. It is a pity not to read."

Zhang Anshi glanced at Liu Tan in surprise. He didn't expect that the King of the Northern Territory would even know these things. He was not dissatisfied with the leak of the news. It is normal for the superiors to investigate the situation of their subordinates these years.He even has a feeling of being valued.

So he nodded heavily and said: "Chen... I want to study!"

Liu Tan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll give you a place to go, you know that every king has a school, right?"

Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up: "I have heard that only tribute scholars can enter the academy in the capital."

Not only that, in the past two years, the Northern Kingdom has put a lot of effort into this school. It is said that all the famous people who can be invited out of the mountain have been invited. Of course, the strength of the teachers is not as good as that of Chang'an, but they are also enough to be proud Other vassal states!

Liu Tan nodded: "That's right, only the tributes who passed the imperial examination can enter that school, except for the top three. It's not easy to enter the school, and it's even more difficult to get out. If you want, you can go there to study."

Zhang Anshi hesitated: "But...the minister did not participate in the scientific examination..."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "I set the rules, and of course I have the final say. If I say you can go, you can go. However, after entering, everyone will know that you came in through abnormal means, and they may look down on you. You will exclude you, if you want to go, you must first be able to bear this."

Before Zhang Anshi said anything, Zhang He was a little surprised: "These people are just common people, yet they dare to look down on the children of officials?"

Zhang Anshi really can't keep his brother's mouth shut right now!

Liu Tan didn't think there was anything wrong, he just said: "The school is different from other places. No matter the status or value here, it only cares about talent. Those who enter through the back door and those who don't study well will naturally be looked down upon. So when you enter, you have to put your own Identity aside, because no one there respects you for who you are."

Zhang He's eyes widened, he didn't expect such a place to exist in the world.

Zhang Anshi felt yearning after hearing it, and he suddenly asked: "Next year...is there going to be an imperial examination next year?"

Zhang Anshi remembered that the plan of the Northern Kingdom was to take the imperial examination once every three years, and counting from the first time to the spring and summer of next year, it was indeed three years.

Liu Tan smiled and nodded: "That's right, if you want to, you can also participate next year."

Zhang Anshi asked curiously: "Are school students also allowed to participate?"

Liu Tan said: "The other students all came in after participating in the scientific examination once. Of course, they can't continue to participate. You are a special case. I will give you a break."

After Zhang Anshi heard this, he immediately bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty loves and cares for me, and I deeply appreciate it!"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "I just don't want to see the pearl get dusty. You still have a good job, and you are in the school for food and lodging. You don't have to worry about money. If you study well, you will get a scholarship."

Zhang Anshi couldn't help being fascinated when he heard it, he didn't expect that there is such a good place in the world, not only does it not cost money to go to school, but it also gives money!

Although Zhang He is outspoken, he is not a fool. He only has one thought in his mind when he hears this - the king of the Northern Realm has a big plan!

The conversation has basically come to an end here.

After Zhang He and Zhang Anshi left, they saw Liu Zhen leaving with the palace servants as soon as they arrived at the posthouse, and the two sides only had time to say hello.

Over there, Zhang Anshi was still talking to Zhang He: "When Liu Zhen comes back, I can talk to him."

Although the two sides are not very familiar, but anyway, traveling together, they are always closer than other people.

As a result, as soon as they returned to the posthouse, someone came to inform Zhang He to go through the formalities. It is said that His Highness has issued an order that Zhang He will be the governor of Yanmen County from now on, and he is asked to leave tomorrow.

Zhang He didn't expect to be in such a hurry, and Zhang Anshi didn't bother to talk to Liu Zhen, and said decisively: "Brother, go through the formalities first, and I'll buy you some things you need to bring along the way."

Zhang He calmed down and said, "Okay, be careful."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Shuofang City is safer than Chang'an, don't worry about me."

When Zhang He came back, he saw that his room was full of large and small bags, and he couldn't help but be taken aback: "What are you buying so much for? How can I take it away?"

Zhang Anshi's face showed a calmness that didn't match his age: "Don't worry, brother, I've already bought you a carriage, and there are also carriage slaves."

Zhang He gasped: "What are you doing? What if you spend all the money on yourself? I also said to buy you a house..."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I just went out to inquire about it. The school takes care of food and housing. I can't spend much money in the school, let alone a scholarship."

Zhang He had no choice but to say, "It's as if you can get a scholarship."

Zhang Shi'an said proudly: "Those students may not be better than me."

Zhang He patted his head and said: "Anyway, you're new here, it's better to be careful. His Highness treats you favorably, but you can't be so proud and lose His Highness's face."

Zhang He entrusted Zhang Anshi earnestly, but Zhang Anshi was not impatient, and listened obediently.

When the brothers were preparing for the trip, Liu Tan and Liu Zhen had a very happy chat over there.

I don't know if Liu Zhen was beaten by the society, but after meeting Liu Tan, he respectfully saluted the common people: "The grassroots refer to the King of the Northern Territory."

Liu Tan immediately got up and supported Liu Zhen and said, "Quickly please get up, if it's true, I'll call you cousin."

Although this cousin is enough for him to be his father.

Liu Zhen said with a face of shame: "I am not worthy of my descendants, I am ashamed of my ancestors."

Liu Tan asked him to sit down and said, "Since father has re-appointed cousin, he must feel that there is a gap in his chest, and I also have important responsibilities to hand over to cousin."

Liu Zhen asked calmly, "But Yiwulu County?"

Liu Tan nodded, and asked someone to bring up the map and said, "That's right, but don't worry, cousin, I have selected two school captain's mansions and one governor's mansion to defend Yiwulu County, and I will never let Yiwulu County Bear the brunt of it."

Liu Zhen looked down at the map and thought for a while and said, "It seems that His Highness has also taken precautions against Yan Qi, so I feel relieved."

After hearing this, Liu Tan immediately asked, "What's wrong with Yanqi?"

Liu Zhen said: "I don't know too much about Yanqi as a minister, but I only know that Liu Quyao has contacts with them."

Liu Tan: ...you really hate your brother.
