The two people in the quarrel heard Wang Junlin's voice, and were startled at the same time. They stood up, bowed to Wang Junlin, and said, "Greetings to the Marquis."
Wang Junlin gave a wry smile and said: "When you quarrel, you have to quarrel behind closed doors. I'm listening to this. If outsiders hear it... I'm afraid they will think that I, Wang Junlin, have done something treasonous and treasonous."
The lobby suddenly fell silent. Thinking that all the content of their quarrel had fallen into Wang Junlin's ears, both Xu Jingzong and Liu Ziming felt a little uneasy and embarrassed.
The two invited Wang Junlin to sit down in the middle and served on both sides. Although Wang Junlin was about the same age as them, the relationship between master and slave was here, and their respect for Wang Junlin came from the bottom of their hearts.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Ziming saw that Wang Junlin had no intention of blaming him, so he put the embarrassment and anxiety behind him, and said impatiently and sadly: "Master Hou, I thought that Xu Jingzong was with Mr. Hou and failed to do what he did."
If you only pick up the slack and do things with your heart, you are not a qualified staff member."
Xu Jingzong's face suddenly turned green with anger, and he wanted to argue, but Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop him. Seeing Wang Junlin's expression, Xu Jingzong was convinced, and he sneered and waited for Liu Ziming to continue.
"Ziming, tell me, why did Jingzong fail to do things attentively?" Wang Junlin said with some curiosity.
Liu Ziming said with an upright face: "Master Hou, since you have obtained the evidence of the Li family's rebellion in Longxi a few days ago, why don't you uproot them, but compromise with them and move the disaster eastward to the Yang family in Hongnong. Master Hou
You should know that every wealthy family is a cancer of the Sui Dynasty. Although the entire Yongzhou will not be covered by the Longxi Li family, countless people are oppressed by them. But the Marquis finally let them go. The matter of the Marquis
We obviously did something wrong, but why didn’t Xu Jingzong remind us of it? I think that as the aides around the Marquis, we must speak out and give advice, which is the right way!"
Wang Junlin naturally knew Liu Ziming's character and was full of righteousness. Compared with Xu Jingzong, who had served as an aide to the Duke of Yue Yang Su and the current prince Yang Guang, Liu Ziming was a scholar before becoming his aide, although he was not a nerd.
He is smart and clever, but his understanding of officialdom, wealthy families, and the imperial court is only superficial.
However, Wang Junlin was not worried about these things. After Liu Ziming experienced some things around him, he would naturally grow up quickly. What he was thinking about at this time was that he and the Li family in Longxi transferred the disaster eastward to the Yang family in Hongnong.
Even Liu Ziming can see it, and then His Majesty Yang Jian can definitely see it too, and so can all the aristocratic families.
Thinking about it now, at that time, I was eager to redeem Chen Danying and wanted to find out the relationship between myself and the Spring and Autumn Envoy as soon as possible. Although this thing was clever, it was a little anxious and was done too crudely. His Majesty the Emperor did not proceed with him in the imperial edict.
Any reward, maybe this is one of the reasons. Thinking of this, he remembered that the emperor had ordered him to go to the capital. This matter could not be delayed any longer. After quickly solving the Dragon Palace, he had to set off quickly, otherwise it might cause trouble.
.
Liu Ziming was actually a little worried when he said something outrageous just now. Seeing that Wang Junlin didn't speak for a long time and looked thoughtful, he thought that the Marquis didn't blame him and listened to it, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
.
But at this time, Xu Jingzong looked at him with a sarcastic face and said: "Brother Ziming thinks this matter is too simple. If the Marquis really eradicates the Li family in Longxi regardless of the consequences, let alone the other party's full strength.
The question of whether it can be done in the case of counterattack, even if it is done, will definitely break the face of all the powerful families. All the powerful families will definitely put on various postures to force the emperor to give an explanation, and the emperor in order to appease the public anger
, if we don’t let the country be in turmoil, we will probably push the Marquis out as a scapegoat.”
Liu Ziming raised his face and said with deep sorrow in his pride: "For the sake of the country and the country, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the emperor. What's more, this is just your guess. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely protect the Marquis with all his strength."
Wang Junlin sighed secretly. If Liu Ziming knew that he also took Li's two hundred thousand taels of silver, I don't know what Liu Ziming would think. However, this Liu Ziming is a good minister, but in another ten years the country will be ruined and the people will be in dire straits.
, will you still be so loyal to the emperor when your ten rooms are empty?
Wang Junlin didn't want to say anything, but in the end he couldn't help but educate Liu Ziming: "If you and I want to do something, we must ensure our own safety. Let's not talk about other aristocratic families. The Li family in Longxi is a thousand-year-old family.
Whether in the court, among the people, or in the military, the depth of knowledge is beyond your imagination. Moreover, Mr. Li can kill people and knows how to kill people. When the time comes to really fight to the death, he will not be afraid to kill me and everyone around him!
If you and I die, nothing can be done."
At this point, Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and then continued: "It seems that you are not with me these days, and your thoughts are becoming more and more simple. I estimate that Fang Qiao, an official in the capital, and other thirteen officials from poor families have grown up in the past six months.
It's very big. In a few days, you can follow me to the capital. Maybe you can learn something from them. You have to remember that if you want to do something for the court and the people of the world, if you are just a piece of rotten wood, you can't do anything.
!”
Liu Ziming was dumbfounded. He had been in poverty for ten years and had never been an official. He had never really experienced the dangers of the world, the complexity of the court, the power of the family, and the emperor's thoughts. At this time, he was criticized by Wang Junlin, and he finally sobered up.
a little.
Wang Junlin sighed with some emotion, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not mention these things for now. I just sent someone to call Shen Guang over. There is a big matter to discuss. You are watching from the side. These dangerous things will happen in the future."
You must also participate and learn more, lest you die without my protection in the future without knowing how you died."
Liu Ziming was dejected, but he was relieved to know that the Marquis still regarded him as a confidant. He just regretted his recklessness, and suddenly thought of the main reason why he came here, and said: "Master Marquis, before Shen Guang comes, I humbly report to you.
The resettlement of the families of thousands of volunteers in Feihu Village."
Although Wang Junlin generally knew about this matter through some information provided by Ghost Eye, it was still necessary to listen to Liu Ziming's report in person.
The most powerful of the Eighteen Green Forest Villages in the Qinling Mountains is Feihu Village, which is directly related to Shangguan Hu. Shangguan Hu, as the general manager of Guanzhong Green Forest Road, claims to have nearly 10,000 brothers from Feihu Mountain. These are actually false.
