Turbulent Times Chapter 941: Experiment

"Here!"

After Du Ruhui cupped his upper body, he said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne today, I have been secretly observing all kinds of his actions, as well as the various policies implemented by the imperial court in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, and I have always been very worried."

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh! If you are worried about something, you can speak freely."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty does not care about the suffering of the people. Since he took the throne, all kinds of taxes have been increased almost every year. The labor labor in the past four years is more than the sum of the twenty years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. There are no less than a million people who died in labor in a foreign land, and these million are males. The death of each male may mean the disintegration of a family. The officials have been secretly investigating for the past few years and noticed that the resentment of the people is getting heavier , and the people were forced by the imperial government to enter the mountains as bandits and go out to sea as bandits.”

"It's good that the imperial court is strong and strong, and those with small ambitions dare not act rashly, but once the imperial court starts a war with a foreign country, not to mention a big defeat, even if it is a stalemate, some people in the country may take the opportunity to create chaos, and one person will start , I am afraid that many people will follow suit, and the aristocratic families who control the center of the imperial court and most of the local officials are not of one mind with the emperor. "

When he said this, Du Ruhui's expression was serious. He noticed that Wang Junlin's expression was always calm, and there was also a heavy look in his eyes. He immediately understood his worries and worries, and Wang Junlin had already thought of it.

When Du Ruhui said this, he gritted his teeth, bowed to Wang Junlin and said, "I have heard that whenever the world is in trouble, there should be a sage gentleman, but I never believe that this so-called sage gentleman is ordained by heaven. I thought that this holy gentleman was made by human power..."

"I hope that my lord can be this 'sage king', not only to save China's suffering, but also to relieve the anger of the people!"

Du Ruhui has his own ideal, and hopes to become the head of all officials and rule the world. Moreover, he also thinks that with his efforts, the world will be able to obtain corresponding wealth according to the status of each person. Even the poorest people can own some of their own wealth without being starved to death.

Because of this ideal, in the original history, he did not hesitate to resign from the official position of the Sui Dynasty, secretly searched for Mingjun, and then did not hesitate to seek refuge in Li Shimin.

Nowadays, because of the appearance of Wang Junlin, his destiny trajectory has changed, but his inner self has not changed. On Wang Junlin.

But at this point, seeing Wang Junlin's expressionless face, he was a little panicked. After all, Wang Junlin was still a courtier of the Sui Dynasty. Da Sui had two minds, so he quickly pleaded guilty in fear and trepidation, and at the same time thought about testing Wang Junlin.

"Get up, if you are dark, get up quickly, if you are dark, you will be good for yourself, and if you are good, you will benefit the world. This is the ambition that a scholar should have, and I admire it very much."

Wang Junlin naturally wouldn't be annoyed, on the contrary, he was extremely emotional at this time, thinking that the generation of famous people who can last forever is really not an extraordinary person. Under Yang Guang's control, he gradually walked into the abyss, but Du Ruhui reached the same conclusion with his own vision and judgment, which is very powerful. Moreover, the heart of benefiting the world shown in Du Ruhui's words made him extremely admired.

After today's conversation, Wang Junlin gradually had a more real understanding of Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui really has the potential or characteristics to become a famous figure of the generation. He is very good at playing tricks and tricks, helping Wang Junlin deal with the enemy without mercy, but he is very grand in vision and pattern, and in terms of governance, But it is biased towards Huang Lao's "government by doing nothing".

He helped Du Ruhui up, and sighed: "I don't know what Ruhui said about the government's bad government, but if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. This is also my principle of life."

If Wang Junlin came to the peaceful and prosperous age, he might seek prosperity and wealth and enjoy life, but since it was the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch tens of millions of people being wiped out while watching the horse-drawn chariots of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Junlin had no way to stop him from falling into the abyss, so he had to save the world first before helping the world.

When Du Ruhui heard that Wang Junlin really approved of his words, he is an extremely decisive person, otherwise there would not be the famous saying of "Fang Mou Du Jue", so he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the imperial court's finances are tight." , has already begun to collect oral taxation, but the officials thought it was drinking poison to quench their thirst. Your lord just said that he would discuss with the emperor a secret decree, but he was actually taking advantage of the emperor's urgent need to increase money and taxes..."

Du Ruhui raised his head and said to Wang Junlin: "Today, I dare to say that Da Sui is now like a big car that is overtaking and speeding on a small path. Your Majesty is in a hurry to do too much. The matter, regardless of the life and death of the people, the adults also told the officials a few days ago that His Majesty intends to conquer Goguryeo. Although this country is small, it is located in the east of Liaodong, the road is far away, and it is different from the tribal countries of Turkic and Tuyuhun. , Goguryeo has been imitating and learning from China. The state government, system, and culture have already taken shape. If you want to conquer it, you need to use the power of the country. It's okay if the war goes badly, the people in the country are full of grievances, the powerful and powerful families are plotting against the law, and the reckless dragons and snakes take advantage of the situation, it will definitely cause chaos in the world. Stop the car and let the tens of millions of people who are pulling the cart take a breath!"

"Stop?"

Wang Junlin looked at Du Ruhui, full of admiration in his heart, thinking that what Du Ruhui said was truly insightful, although he knew that Du Ruhui was still probing because he hadn't made a clear statement just now, but he still believed it.

What Du Ruhui said was correct, if the carriage pulled by tens of thousands of people in Sui Dynasty didn't slow down and rest, sooner or later the carriage would crash and people would die. Originally, in history, when this car wandered backwards and hit the road again, it would be the "Datang" brand car driven more than ten years later, but tens of millions of people died of exhaustion and in vain in the process...

Wang Junlin knew this because he knew the answer in advance, but Du Ruhui was aware of this danger when the Sui Dynasty seemed to be at its peak. .

Wang Junlin is glad that he has found the right person. Among the three prime ministers he has in hand now, Xu Jingzong is very capable, especially good at planning things and recruiting people. At that time, he was favored by Wu Zetian.
