Li Jing had a smile on his face: "Is it just for this that your Majesty took us two captives?"
Although he was full of smiles, he was filled with a sense of alienation. If Wang Jian didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he might have second thoughts. Moreover, with a firm tone and deep eyes, it was obvious that he had a death wish.
"Of course not, it's just that I rely on you two, so I naturally have to confirm their identities." Wang Jian smiled and looked at Xu Xingzhi, who had always been calm, "Mr. Xu won't object, right?"
Xu Xingzhi nodded calmly: "That's how it should be! But His Majesty's reputation has spread far and wide, and the common people are terrified."
"It's normal. I sincerely hope to change. Otherwise, how could I be so thirsty for talents and even resort to such despicable means?"
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Xu Xingzhi looked respectful, but Wang Jian knew that it was all an act.
How could a truly talented person choose Mingzhu so easily? Just like Li Jing, he remembered clearly that after he rescued Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, he talked about the situation in the world and wanted to seek Mingzhu's service.
Now that Wang Jian used such means to find him, he must be feeling aggrieved, not to mention that he had already joined the Jianghuai Army in rebellion.
But it doesn't matter, as long as they identify two people, Wang Jian will keep them by his side.
Over time, you will naturally get used to it.
Although he considers himself a foolish king, he is not as cruel as Yang Guang. If he shows off, he should be able to get the two of them to recognize him.
Wang Jian moved the paper and pen on which he had written the questions to the other side of the desk, motioned for the two of them to do as they pleased, and took Xiao Huan out of Liangyi Hall.
"Your Majesty, you don't trust our Baling Gang?"
Xiao Huan's tone was somewhat resentful, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Wang Jian's probing of Li Jing and Xu Xingzhi just now. However, she did not dare to be too obvious and could only use a coquettish tone.
He even posted it specifically in order to dispel Wang Jian's possible anger.
Wang Jian was naturally not polite. After sending a message to a palace maid next to him, he hugged her and found a quiet place. He tasted it without caring whether the other party was willing, and said at the same time: "The Baling Gang has searched so many things for me."
How could I doubt her beauty?"
"This slave is relieved now."
Wang Jian immediately began to ask about the circumstances of the arrest of the two men.
According to Xiao Huan, Li Jing was snatched by the enemy when they went out to plunder with the military leader. Li Jing was not very strong, so he was captured directly.
As for Xu Xingzhi, the other party actually showed no resistance. Speaking of which, this guy was still an errand boy under Fang Zetao, and Fang Zetao was still the general of the Sui Dynasty.
Because Li Jing and the others were still waiting, Wang Jian just had a taste of it and sent Xiao Huan away.
Of course, the gold and silver from last time were indispensable. If you want people to work, you should give them wages. Remember that one of Yang Guang’s ten major crimes is not paying wages. By the way, it seems that he is too stingy and refuses to pay officials.
reward.
Entering Liangyi Hall, Li Jing and Xu Xingzhi stood there quietly. The entire hall was extremely quiet.
When Wang Jian arrived, the two of them saluted.
Xu Xingzhi relies on his usual strength, making it difficult for people to see through his true thoughts.
When Li Jing saw Wang Jian entering the Liangyi Hall alone without a guard around him, a ripple flashed in his eyes, but he finally gave up.
He sat back and took the answers from the two of them. The question was very simple, how should he regain the world now?
Li Jing started from the military point of view, and acting in vain was the overall situation.
Their answers were different, but they were similar in some places, and both gave him good inspiration. They both probably had reservations, but they both had real talents and learning.
"Very good, Li Jing, do it in vain. I don't care what you two had in mind before. Now that I am at the time of employing people, you two will assist me. In the future, the world will be peaceful and I will not forget your contribution."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, but the common people are poor in talent and learning."
"Okay, there's no need to be modest. I know your abilities very well. Otherwise, why would I use despicable means to rob you and come to help you?" Wang Jian stopped the two of them and continued to say seriously, "I have always felt that more words are worse than actions. Much more. Just follow me and help me to see if I am worthy of your entrustment."
Soon, the maid came to report that Du Ruhui, Yu Shinan, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin asked to see him.
Wang Jian let four people come in and introduced Xu Xingzhi to the first two people, and Li Jing to the last two people.
The six people nodded, indicating that they knew each other. Wang Jian directly received the six people in Liangyi Hall and ate hot pot together.
His method of making something out of nothing shocked the six people, and they were all in a daze while eating.
However, when he tasted these delicacies, especially the green dragon bone soup and cold spring wine, Rao Xingzhi, who had always been calm, was shocked.
Eating can be regarded as a way to connect with each other, but unfortunately, due to the disparity in status and status, coupled with the long-standing prejudice against Yang Guang, the atmosphere was very bad.
Only Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin occasionally flattered them when they drank the cold spring wine.
He was flattering, his face was red, and he seemed ashamed to meet others.
Wang Jian didn't care what the six people thought of him, as time passed and people's hearts changed.
"The six beloved ministers are all people I rely on. In the future, the world's peace will depend on you. I will go to court tomorrow and form a staff. The six of you will be members of the staff. Major national affairs will depend on you."
These words shocked the six people, including Shi Xuxingzhi and Li Jing.
Wang Jian is delegating his power. I really don’t know if he took the wrong medicine.
But they don't know that it is fundamental to be a good emperor. If you go to court every day to handle official business, where will you have time to go out and be cool?
After sending the six people away, Wang Jian went back to rest, not caring what the six people said when they got together again after leaving the palace.
The next day, Wang Jian went to court and found that Li Jing and Xu Xingzhi were there, and he was completely relieved.
He was afraid that the two leaders would escape in the middle of the night, which would be a big loss for Dafa.
Fortunately, although everything yesterday did not impress them, it still aroused their curiosity and finally stayed.
Whether we can stay forever will have to be verified by time.
He did not break his promise, and promoted Xu Xingzhi to Yousi Lang of Shangshu Province, and Li Jing, the general of the Tiangang Army, commanded the new Tiangang Army.
The six Du Ruhui, Dugu Sheng, Yu Shiji, and Pei Yun, the two troublemakers, were all allowed to join the newly formed staff department.
The six new people occupying high positions, especially the fact that three of them actually control a new army and the staff of the emperor's closest officials, immediately caused an uproar among the officials, all kinds of denials and obstructions.
But who is to blame Yang Guang for being a foolish king? He directly asserted his authority and forcibly implemented this proposal.
He has shown great kindness to Xu Xingzhi and Li Jing, and they must at least have some sense of recognition if they have the idea that you treat me as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman.
Being in a high position and being denied by others, young people should always have ambitions and show off in front of others.
As for Yu Shiji and Pei Yun, he planned to let them join in to create a catfish effect.
Only in this way can their enthusiasm and ability be stimulated to a greater extent, and Dugu Sheng is purely to stabilize the loyalty of the other party and the recognition of the Dugu clan.
