After Du Ruhui held up his upper body, he said: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, I have secretly observed his actions and the various policies implemented by the imperial court in line with His Majesty's wishes. I have been very worried in my heart."
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he said, "Oh! If Ruhui is worried about anything specifically, you can speak freely."
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty does not care about the suffering of the people at all. Since he came to the throne, various taxes have been increased almost every year. The labor service in the past four years is more than the total of more than 20 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. In just a few years, he died in
There are no less than a million people working in a foreign land, and these million people are men. The death of each man may mean the disintegration of a family. In the past few years, the official has secretly visited and noticed that the people's resentment is getting worse, and the people's resentment is getting worse.
There are many people who are forced by the imperial government to go into the mountains to become bandits or go out to sea to become thieves."
"It's okay now that the imperial court has strong soldiers and horses, and those with small ambitions dare not act rashly. However, once the imperial court goes to war with a foreign country, not to mention suffering a huge defeat, even if it is a stalemate, someone in the country is likely to take the opportunity to cause chaos. If one person starts it, I'm afraid it will
Many people followed suit, and the aristocratic families who controlled the center of the imperial court and most of the local official positions were not of the same mind as the emperor. Once chaos broke out in the world, I am afraid that various aristocratic families would also have delusions, which would intensify the fall of the Sui Dynasty."
When he said this, Du Ruhui's expression became solemn. He noticed that Wang Junlin always looked calm and had a heavy look in his eyes. He immediately understood his concerns and worries, and Wang Junlin had also thought of them.
When Du Ruhui said this, he gritted his teeth and bowed to Wang Junlin: "Xiaoguan once heard that every time the world is in trouble, there should be a saintly gentleman, but I never believe that this so-called saintly gentleman is destined by heaven. I think this saint
A gentleman is made by human power..."
"I hope that if you can become this 'saint king', you will not only be able to save China from its troubles, but also relieve the people's anger!"
Du Ruhui has his own ideal, hoping to become the leader of hundreds of officials and dominate the world. Moreover, he also thinks that with his efforts, everyone in the world can obtain corresponding wealth according to their status, even the poorest.
People can also have some wealth of their own without starving to death.
Because of this ideal,
In the original history, he resigned from the Sui Dynasty without hesitation, secretly searched for Mingjun, and later went to join Li Shimin without hesitation.
Now, because of the appearance of Wang Junlin, his destiny has changed, but the inner things of him have not changed. Instead, because of the development of the situation, he has placed his greatest ideals deep in his heart on Wang Junlin, who he serves.
.
But when he said this, he saw Wang Junlin's expressionless face, but he was a little scared. After all, Wang Junlin was still a minister of the Sui Dynasty. He was said to be extremely loyal to His Majesty the current emperor, and what he just said was undoubtedly related to Wang Junlin's feelings towards the Sui Dynasty.
He had two thoughts, so he hurriedly begged for forgiveness with sincerity and fear, and at the same time thought that he would test Wang Junlin.
"Get up, if you are poor, you will get up quickly; if you are poor, you will be good at yourself; if you are successful, you will help the world. This is the ambition that a scholar should have, and I admire him very much."
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not be angry. On the contrary, he was extremely emotional at this time, thinking that a generation of famous ministers who could be remembered forever was indeed not an extraordinary person. Because he came from later generations and knew the direction of history, he knew that the carriage of the Sui Dynasty was under Yang Guang's control.
He was gradually heading towards the abyss under control, but Du Ruhui came to the same conclusion with his own vision and judgment, which was amazing. Moreover, Du Ruhui's desire to help the world showed in his words made him extremely admired.
After today's conversation, Wang Junlin gradually gained a truer understanding of Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui indeed has the potential or characteristics to become a famous figure. He is very good at playing tricks and tricks to help Wang Junlin deal with his enemies without mercy. However, he is very ambitious in terms of vision and structure, but in terms of governance, he is biased.
Yu Huanglao's "governing by doing nothing".
He helped Du Ruhui up and sighed: "I don't know what Ruhui said about the bad government of the imperial court. If you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. This is also my principle of life."
If Wang Junlin had come to a peaceful and prosperous age, he might have found wealth and enjoyed life, but since he was in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he naturally could not sit back and watch tens of millions of people being destitute, while watching the Sui Dynasty drive into the abyss.
Wang Junlin had no way to stop it, so he had to save the world first before helping the world.
When Du Ruhui heard that Wang Junlin really recognized him, he
But let him tell you that he is an extremely decisive person, otherwise there would be no famous saying of 'Fang's plan is eliminated', so he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the imperial court is financially tight and has begun to collect oral gifts.
The official thought he was drinking poison to quench his thirst. Your Excellency just said that he would seek a secret decree from the emperor, but in fact he was 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 have the guts to say that the Sui Dynasty is like a big car that is overtaking and speeding on the path. Your Majesty is in a hurry to do too many things.
Regardless of the life and death of the people, your Majesty also told your subordinates a few days ago that your Majesty intends to conquer Goguryeo. Although this country is small, it is located in the east of Liaodong, with a long distance, and it is different from the tribal countries such as Turks and Tuyuhun. Goguryeo has always
Imitate and learn from our country. The national government, system, and culture have already taken shape. If you want to conquer it, you will need to use all the strength of the country. The army will be no less than 500,000. The journey is long, logistics and supplies are difficult, and the civilians will need millions. If the war goes well, it will be fine.
, if the war does not go well, the people in the country are filled with resentment, the powerful families are plotting evil, and the wild dragons and snakes take advantage of the situation, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, the official thinks that the most important thing to do at this time is to stop the Sui Dynasty.
, let the tens of millions of people pulling the carts take a breath!"
"Stop?"
Wang Junlin looked at Du Ruhui, full of admiration in his heart, thinking that what Du Ruhui said was true knowledge and insight. Although he knew that Du Ruhui had not made a clear statement just now and was still testing, he still believed it.
Du Ruhui is right. If this carriage pulled by millions of people during the Sui Dynasty did not slow down and take a rest, sooner or later it would be crashed and people would be killed. Originally, in history, it would take more than ten years for this carriage to wander backwards and hit the road again.
Later, the 'Datang' brand car was driven, but in the process, tens of millions of people died from exhaustion and waste...
Wang Junlin knew this because he knew the answer in advance. However, when Du Ruhui seemed to be at his peak in the Sui Dynasty, he was aware of this danger. He was really more than what the word "talent" can describe.
Wang Junlin is glad that he has found the right person. The three prime ministers he has now gathered in his hands, Xu Jingzong is very capable, especially good at planning affairs and people, and is a top master in conspiracy. Otherwise, he would not be defeated by Wu Zetian in his old age.
