Chapter 114 Fan Kuai Joins
"The man I recommend is named Fan Kuai, a brave and courageous man."
"I believe he will be able to lend a helping hand to me in the implementation of the imperial examination system."
When Fusu heard this, his heart moved.
Before he traveled through time, he knew something about Fan Kuai in history and knew that he was a loyal, brave, courageous and knowledgeable general.
The atmosphere in Fusu's study was tense and solemn.
Liu Ji had just proposed to recommend Fan Kuai to join the preparatory team for the imperial examination system.
Prince Fusu frowned slightly, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
"Fan Kuai?" Fusu repeated the name softly, his thoughts racing.
He knew that Fan Kuai was a hero in history, but at this point in time and space, Fan Kuai did not provide any direct help in promoting the imperial examination system.
However, he glanced at Liu Ji and Xiao He, and saw anticipation in their eyes, which moved him.
"Liu Ji, what are your considerations for recommending Fan Kuai?"
Fusu spoke slowly, with a hint of inquiry in his voice.
Liu Ji was stunned. He didn't expect Fusu to ask this.
He hesitated for a moment and answered sincerely.
"Your Highness, although Fan Kuai has little experience in the imperial examinations, he is loyal and brave, and is a brother you can trust.
I think there may be some obstacles and difficulties in the implementation of the imperial examination system.
With Fan Kuai here, at least we can ensure that our team will not waver at the critical moment."
Upon hearing this, Fusu secretly admired Liu Ji's foresight.
He really needed a stable team to promote the imperial examination system.
And the joining of Fan Kuai may provide additional protection for this.
Liu Ji stood in Fusu's study, feeling uneasy.
He had just mustered up the courage to ask Prince Fusu to take in Fan Kuai, and was now waiting for the prince's reply.
Seeing Fusu nod slightly, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
"Since you think so highly of Fan Kuai, then let him join."
Fusu's voice was calm and gentle, but it made Liu Ji feel relieved.
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Ji bowed excitedly to express his gratitude.
He was full of gratitude for Fusu's magnanimity and open-mindedness.
However, in his joy, he suddenly realized that he had not taken Xiao He beside him into consideration when he made the proposal.
He secretly glanced at Xiao He and found that he was standing there quietly.
There was no discernible expression on his face.
Liu Ji's heart tightened and he secretly blamed himself for being too impulsive and not discussing it with Xiao He beforehand.
"Brother Xiao He, what do you think..." Liu Ji tried to ease the atmosphere and asked Xiao He for advice.
Xiao He smiled slightly and interrupted Liu Ji.
"Brother Liu Ji, since the young master has agreed, let's make arrangements as soon as possible."
"We still need to carefully draft the documents for the imperial examination system. Time is running out, so we have to hurry up."
After hearing what Xiao He said, Liu Ji felt both grateful and guilty.
He understood that Xiao He was trying to help him out, but also reminded him to focus on the current task.
So, he said, "Brother Xiao He is right. Let's get ready now."
The two men said goodbye to Master Fusu and prepared to leave the study.
Liu Ji walked behind, feeling mixed emotions.
He was happy that he had successfully recommended Fan Kuai, but he also felt guilty for his impulsiveness and disregard for Xiao He's feelings.
Walking out of the study, Liu Ji saw Xiao He was silent, and his heart tightened. He quickly quickened his pace to catch up with him.
"Brother Xiao He, wait for me!" Liu Ji shouted, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Xiao He stopped, turned around, looked at Liu Ji, and frowned slightly.
"Liu Ji, you were too impatient just now. How can a reckless man like Fan Kuai help the imperial examination?"
