Turbulent Times Chapter 882: It’s all in the bowl


Ten rounds passed, and only heard the sound of a clang. Luo Shixin let out a scream, and the iron gun in his hand was sent flying. on the ground.

"It doesn't count this time." Luo Shixin ran to pick up his iron gun, still dissatisfied.

"Okay, Xiner lost, Xuanba is the senior brother, and Xiner is the junior brother." Nie Xiaoyu spoke.

"Yes, master." Luo Shixin suddenly became like a good baby, agreed, then saluted Li Xuanba, and said, "See you, brother."

After the martial arts competition between the two little guys, Wang Junlin and his party did not stay in Loufan County, but went out of the city directly. With a big package, he joined Wang Junlin's team on a horse worth thousands of gold.

Accepting Li Xuanba as a disciple, of course, was discussed in advance by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu. Naturally, this move has a lot of meaning. It was the father and son of the Li family who ended all this. Although Wang Junlin never thought of hugging the Li family's thigh, and he had his own ambitions deep in his heart, if he could form a good relationship with the Li family, or hold a piece of paper in his hand, A trump card against the Li family is always good.

Three days later, Wang Junlin and his party came to Fuyang County (now Ci County, Handan City, Hebei Province) in the northeast of Loufan County. for someone.

Compared to the warm reception received by Li Yuan in Loufan County, the officials of Fuyang County naturally all warmly welcomed Wang Junlin outside the city, and their words and deeds were full of awe.

After being polite and courteous to each other at the gate of the city, Wang Junlin didn't even get out of the carriage, and continued to go inside the city under the guidance of the Fuyang county magistrate, but Wang Junlin's eyes turned to the people of Fuyang county beside the road Officials. Even inadvertently, it fell on a 30-year-old official with a larger face who stood in the front among the officials, but just glanced at it lightly, and continued to laugh and talk with the flattering Fuyang magistrate.

The big-faced official and other Fuyang County officials lined up on both sides and bowed to salute. After the chariots and horses passed by, the big-faced official raised his head and said in his heart: "You are so young, you have already reached the county." Lord, as soon as the prefect of Shangjun, I heard that this is because His Majesty deliberately suppressed his official position, otherwise he would have been able to become a general with his merits."

If the big-faced official thinks he is right, the most legendary figure in the Sui Dynasty in recent years is only twenty-eight or nine years old, and he feels a little ashamed to stroke his beard.

It would be fine if he came from a wealthy family, but this Qin Angong has made great military exploits from a soldier, and has been promoted step by step. The aristocratic family suppressed.

"I think I'm talented and talented, and I aim at Jiuqing, but compared with this Qin Angong, I'm far behind." The big-faced official thought to himself, thinking that his ancestors were high-ranking officials in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his grandfather Du Guo was the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Sui Dynasty, and he was granted the title of Yixing Gong; his father Du Zha was the governor of Changzhou. Although his family was not a powerful man, he was also a nobleman, so he was recommended to be an official. , but after the death of his grandfather and father, the Du family gradually declined, and now he can only serve as a junior Bapin county lieutenant in this Fuyang County, and this has been a full seven years.

That's right, this big-faced official is Du Ruhui, the famous Prime Minister through the ages.

In history, Du Ruhui served as a county lieutenant in Fuyang County for eleven years, but later he felt that it was boring, and he became more and more disappointed with the Sui Dynasty, so he simply resigned and left, and then the world was in chaos , He took the initiative to vote for Li Tang.

Later, after Li Yuan and his son raised an army in Taiyuan, Du Ruhui became the advisor of Qin Wang Li Shimin's shogunate. He followed Li Shimin to put down the rebellion of Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, and actively planned strategies. During the change of Xuanwu Gate, Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling participated in the planning and took the lead together. After Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father to ascend the throne, Du Ruhui went to Shangshu Youpushe, named Cai Guogong, and was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty with Fang Xuanling. third.

"Now that 'Fang Mou' has been obtained, how can 'Du Duan' be let go." Wang Junlin in the carriage thought to himself.

Four years ago in the Sui Dynasty for the first imperial examination, by chance, Wang Junlin got Fang Xuanling (Fang Qiao) from a poor family into his own bowl, and with his operation and Fang Qiao's own efforts, Has become a confidant around Yang Guang. It can be said to be one of Wang Junlin's various powerful foreshadowings.

This time when Wang Junlin went to Fan Yang to take office, he deliberately took a detour of more than 600 miles. Du Ruhui's factor was even more important than that of Li's father and son. Wang Junlin was well aware of his shortcomings, and he didn't have much experience in governing a county. Although he deliberately transferred Liu Ziming from Lanyiwei Mansion to Fanyang County with Yang Guang, and took the post with him, it was obviously not enough, let alone Du Hui. If he didn't get such a person into his bowl in advance, could he still wait for Li Yuan and his son to get them away?

Du Ruhui stared at Wang Junlin's carriage, his eyes full of envy. After a moment of silence, he saw that his colleagues had dispersed and were preparing to participate in the banquet against Qin Angong at night. He couldn't help but whispered to himself: "Qianda In time, there is a person, but there is no world, although the virtuous Buddha will do it. If there is a world, why is it so difficult?"

While expressing envy, this sentence means that Wang Junlin's own ability is one of the reasons why Wang Junlin is today, and the other main reason is that he has been appreciated by the former emperor Yang Jian and the current emperor Yang Guang at the same time. I mean, if Du Ruhui met Mingjun Bole, he might not be able to achieve such an achievement.

As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, a Guanzhong accent sounded behind him.

"It's better to retreat and make a net than to be envious of fish in Yuanyuan."

Du Ruhui looked back, but he was a young scholar in his 24s and 20s, dressed in commoner clothes and with a black scarf on his head.

Du Ruhui saw that although this person was only dressed as a commoner, he had clear eyes and an extraordinary temperament. In addition to his extraordinary speech just now, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. What made him dare not neglect was that this person clearly came with Qin An's convoy just now. He came, but he stopped his carriage after entering the city gate, and wandered around with a few entourages, but he didn't know when he came behind him, and he just heard him talking to himself.

Du Ruhui bowed his hands and saluted him, and said, "May I ask you, brother?"

The scholar bowed his hand in return, and said: "I, Liu Ziming, is the new chief history under the command of the prefect of Fanyang County. I am polite here to disturb your land!"

After saying that, he raised his head again and looked at Du Ruhui carefully, thinking that his lord specially told him to come and get a feel for this little county lieutenant. Yang County.

A thought flashed in his mind, and Liu Ziming said in his mouth: "Just now I saw Lieutenant Du's emotion, and thinking of it three years ago, I feel the same."
