Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 175

In the official history, Ma Zhou's bole Changhe is currently serving as a general of Zhonglang.This master has done two famous things in history, the first is to guard the Xuanwu Gate during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and the second is to recommend Ma Zhou to Li Shimin.

Now that he met Luo Yan, Luo Yan had to say sorry to Chang He.While drinking, the three of them talked about state affairs.Luo Yan deliberately directed the topic to government affairs, and Cui Dunli was quite cooperative when he saw this.From the Weishui alliance in the first month to the recent famine in Guanzhong, Luo Yan asked carefully, and Ma Zhou also answered in detail.

Combining his personal experience in the past six months, Luo Yan gave Ma Zhou a very high evaluation of his answer.If he didn't have systematic assistance, and he had a wider knowledge and boldness in later generations, he might be far worse than Ma Zhou.Even Cui Dunli, who was cooperating with Luo Yan, also looked at Ma Zhou with admiration at this time.

Seeing that the three of them chatted more and more speculatively, the drink was also poured into their mouths.The three of them didn't let go until they had finished drinking all the jars of wine on the table, and almost an hour had passed.

After all, I and Cui Dunli have official duties, so after resting for such a long time, we have to bring our staff to travel and stay overnight.Therefore, he stopped telling Ma Zhouduo that he wanted the pen and paper in the store, and Luo Yan wrote:

"The horse week in Bozhou is called mediocre in the world, how absurd. I have heard that a horse that travels a thousand miles eats as much as a grain of grain. Those who eat horses do not know what they can do, so they eat them. If you don't have enough strength, you can't show your beauty. Just ask for it to be able to travel thousands of miles.

Ma Zhou is a man with clear conversation and brilliant talent.He is quite insightful in government affairs, and with a little tempering, he should have the bearing of a minister.However, there is no talent to serve the country, but there is no way to serve the country.It is a good horse for thousands of miles, but it is not known by people.In the name of Yu, I strongly recommend it to the saint.I only hope that your Majesty will give you a heavy responsibility with knowledge and insight.Minister, Luo Yan nodded. "

After writing, stamp your private seal, then put it in an envelope and seal it with wax.After handing it over to Ma Zhou, he said: "Because of our duties, we cannot stay for a long time. I have a letter of recommendation today. I also ask Brother Ma to go to the Ministry of Officials and hand it over to Changsun Shangshu, or find Du Shangshu in the Ministry of War. I think I will be able to do so at that time." Give Brother Ma a hand."

"In addition, if Brother Ma has no place to live in Chang'an, you can also go to my residence. I have a jade talisman as a token." Under Ma Zhou's grateful eyes, Luo Yan and Cui Dunli left the tavern.

On the way, Cui Dunli asked suspiciously: "I never thought Brother Luo would be so courageous that I want to recommend him directly to His Majesty." When Luo Yan was writing just now, he was sitting in a position where he could read all the content clearly, unlike Ma. Like Zhou, he only knew it was a recommendation letter.

Luo Yan said with a smile: "Even if you recommend it to those ministers, what kind of official position can you give to such a talented person? In the end, it will only be wasted for a few years. With your majesty's courage, when the time comes, with a swipe of the pen, maybe by Brother Ma's talent is not inferior to me in official positions. If it spreads, it will be a good thing."

Cui Dunli said helplessly: "To be honest, Luo Sima, among these people I have met, you are the only one who dares to be so bold. But maybe it is because of this that His Majesty values ​​you more."

Hearing this, Luo Yan just smiled and stopped talking.How could Cui Dunli know that Ma Zhou was tired of being an official and went to Zhongshu Ling, such a high position was not due to his outstanding talents, how could he squeeze in because of Ma Zhou's poor family.

As soon as the matter was over, the group of people continued their normal schedule.From Chang'an to Taiyuan Mansion, and then from Taiyuan Mansion to Youzhou.Originally, the road that could be reached by a fast horse in ten days was dragged down by supplies, and it took a whole month to arrive.

As early as one day away from Youzhou, Cui Dunli sent a messenger.In order to announce the decree the next day, and to prepare the officials in Youzhou, although it was still early, the group stayed at the post station outside the city of Youzhou.It also happened to be able to bathe and change clothes, and wash the dust along the way.

Early the next morning, Luo Yan and Cui Dunli rushed to the city with their people.

Unexpectedly, Wang Junkuo and the officials waited in front of the city gate early. When the people arrived at the city, they had already set up the incense table, and they were waiting for Cui Dunli to announce the decree.

Seeing such a situation, Cui Dunli signaled to stop, got off his horse and walked forward.

"Cui Sheren, I haven't seen you for a year, and I'm still so heroic. Congratulations." Although Wang Junkuo was a second-rank official, he still had to praise Cui Dunli, a close minister of the emperor.Beijing officials are better than foreign officials, and these Zhongshushe people are around Li Shimin every day. If they can build a good relationship, they must not be missed.

Cui Dunli also clasped his fists together, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I would like to thank the governor for saving my life. This time, I must have a drink with the governor, so that I can express my heart."

Hearing Cui Dunli's words, Wang Junkuo smiled even more happily, and said incessantly, "That would be the best."

After recounting the past, Cui Dunli said solemnly: "It's not early, since the governor has set up the incense table here, we might as well wait for Dunli to finish his decree, and then go to the city to have a detailed discussion with the governor. I don't know what the governor wants?"

Seeing that the people behind were still waiting, Wang Junkuo was also quite interested, and replied: "What Cui Sheren said is that I will pass here." The reading of the decree was nothing more than a detailed recount of the news reported by the messenger before. After that, he saluted and took over the imperial decree.The incense case was removed, and Wang Junkuo led Cui Dunli into the city.

Luo Yan kept looking at Wang Junkuo when he saw him.In the future, he will work under his command, and what Li Shimin ordered is related to him.

It was very different from Luo Yanzhong's imagination, there was no beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes.Speaking of which, he is much more handsome than Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie.Sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose bridge, and two beards on his lips.If it wasn't for his dark face, he would be no different from ordinary scribes.

However, after all, Wang Junkuo was in charge of Youzhou's military and political affairs as a general, but he was wearing a military uniform at this time.For a while, with that skin color, it was a little more majestic.

Seeing Wang Junkuo's appearance, Luo Yan also nodded.Although you can't judge a person by their appearance, if you don't know the background of the person, at least the impression left by this first meeting is quite good.

When driving the horse over, I happened to meet Li Xuandao.As the governor of Youzhou, he is now the second in command of Youzhou.Luo Yan, who saw him at this time, came over and shouted with a smile: "I didn't expect that Sima's vacancy was actually let in. Your Majesty's behavior is really unexpected."

Luo Yan was also extremely happy to meet an old acquaintance.He bowed his hands and said: "I haven't seen you in half a year. My younger generation has been around for a while, and I still have to work hard under Li Changshi. Time is fate." He said that he seemed to be suffering and hated deeply, but he was a pen official before. I got acquainted with Li Xuandao since childhood, and gradually got used to joking.Now that they met again, they couldn't help but began to bury Li Xuandao.

"If you are as lazy as before, I can't cover it up for you. Presumably His Majesty must have transferred you here to hone your skills because of your slackness." Li Xuandao naturally showed no sign of weakness, and teased Luo Yana lazy temper.

Luo Yan pretended to be surprised: "You all know this, could it be that you asked His Majesty to send me here? Li Changshi, you did me a disservice. As a county magistrate, it took me a long time to smooth out the affairs of the county , Just because of you, I came to this unfamiliar place. This kind of crime, no matter what, you have to treat me to ten or eight meals of good wine and food, so as to dispel my resentment."

Seeing that Luo Yan took the opportunity to blackmail him, Li Xuandao said angrily: "Your Majesty's actions are beyond my control. Don't take the opportunity to blackmail me, you brat. If you want to eat and drink, you will have a welcome banquet later." You just need to eat and drink raw. Why bother looking for benefits from me."

Hearing what Li Xuandao said, Luo Yan said with a smile: "Although your majesty has his own reasons for employing people. But now that I am new to Youzhou, you are the host and I am the guest. If you are not good at entertaining, how can you treat me as a guest?" way."

Seeing Luo Yan's words getting more and more outrageous, Li Xuandao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know you can't be blamed. Beidi can't do anything else, there are a lot of beef and mutton. I want to let you have a big meal when I come, just enough to stop it." your mouth."

After some teasing, the two no longer feel unfamiliar.So the two horses walked side by side, and they came to the Dudu's Mansion in Youzhou without knowing it.

As a well-known big state in the north, the seat of Youzhou Dudufu is located in Ji County (now the southwestern city of Sijiu City).The Governor's Mansion, which has been in operation for many years, is the most magnificent building in Youzhou City.A gate with a width of ten meters is enough to meet the regulations of a prince in the capital.A pair of stone lions at the door, about two or three meters high, is truly majestic.

Guards stood on both sides of the gate of the Dudu Mansion, holding long spears and wearing bright armor.The sun shines on the body, and the reflected light can be seen from far away.Luo Yan has stayed in Beijing for several years, and has never seen such a scene.When he came to the door, he couldn't help but praise: "Stylish!"

Hearing Luo Yan's praise, several officials around Luo Yan looked smug, but their eyes changed when they looked at him, as if they were looking at a bumpkin.Although he didn't understand the meaning in the eyes, but considering the faces of these officials, Luo Yan also understood eighty-nine points in his heart.

For a moment, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. I didn't expect that I would be despised like this one day. This world really has some sense of the cycle of heaven.

Seeing Luo Yan's embarrassment, Li Xuandao couldn't help laughing: "There has never been a Beijing official who was looked at by Youzhou officials like you. Hahaha, you are a wonderful person, really." This obviously means taking pleasure in other's misfortune, but Luo Yan can't get angry no matter what.No way, who let people tell the truth.

Up to now, Luo Yan can only admit it.Who can't keep his mouth shut, will he be a governor's mansion soon?The Tai Chi Palace is so big, even the harem has been visited several times before, why did it look like this when it arrived in Youzhou.

But looking at the current situation, it is his fault for embarrassing the Beijing officials.

　At the end of the code, there was a power outage. Let Xiaodao say thanks tomorrow.
