And this is what Wang Junlin admires about Du Ruhui. He just said that Huang Lao had the ambition to "make great achievements and benefit the world", but after knowing Wang Junlin's thoughts, what he said next became full of
It smells of conspiracy.
"If history remains unchanged, there won't even be ten years left..." Wang Junlin thought to himself, but he encouraged Du Ruhui to continue speaking with his eyes.
"Lord, we should prepare for the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty."
Du Ruhui's title changed. Du Ruhui regarded himself as his minister and Wang Junlin as his chief. This was a formal statement that he served Wang Junlin, not the Sui Dynasty court.
After some verbal testing just now, Du Ruhui was able to confirm that Wang Junlin would never blame him, that's why he said this.
Sure enough, after Wang Junlin heard what he said, his expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Does Ruhui have the ambition to dominate the world?"
Du Ruhui's body was shocked. He didn't expect Wang Junlin's eyes to be so sharp. He suddenly spoke of the most secret ideal in his heart that he had never told anyone. He took a deep breath and said: "Ruhui admits, if
Hui indeed has the ambition to dominate the world. My lord can see this, doesn't he have the ambition to dominate the world?"
Du Ruhui bowed again and said: "My lord, Du Ruhui's ideal is to help my lord ascend to this position! So as to help my lord rule the world."
Wang Junlin did not reply immediately, but showed a smile of unknown meaning on his face. He looked at Du Ruhui for a moment before Wang Junlin reached out to lift his arms up and said in an inexplicable tone: "Ruhui, what do you mean?
That's right, dominating the world is my ambition, and I will help you realize your ideal of dominating the world."

Compared with the Lu family, which is the only one in Fanyang County, the situation in the county is relatively complicated. After all, it is under the eyes of the prefect and Ying Yanglang. No matter how incompetent the former prefect was when facing the Lu family,
The influence in the county town is still dominant.
When Wang Junlin first arrived in the county more than a month ago, the aristocratic forces in the county suspected that the new governor was like the previous governors and could not defeat the Lu family, so they did not dare to express their stance easily, fearing that they would be self-defeating.
, rushing to come forward would be retaliated by the Lu family, so at that time, except for the officials, no one from the nobles in the county came forward to greet him. Even in the following days when Wang Junlin was in the county, no nobles from the county came to visit.
Wang Junlin and his party almost wiped out the Lu family's influence in the salt field in just a few days, allowing the salt field, the largest money tree in Fanyang County, to change hands. According to the Lu family's experience in dealing with previous prefects, Lu
The Lu family should have carried out fierce revenge, but when news came, the Lu family did not take any action in the process. Even Qian Zhengkuo, the tax collector in the county, completely surrendered to the prefect and was promoted two levels to become
The new director of the salt farm.
When the news came, the nobles in the county had to think about what to do if the Lu family could not defeat the prefect, and the prefect turned around to liquidate them?
Therefore, now that Wang Junlin came back from the salt field and rode a carriage through the city to the prefect's mansion, all the noble officials in the county and city came to see him and lined up on the stone pavement in front of the prefect's mansion to greet him.
Wang Junlin had already received the news, and was not surprised. He got off the carriage at this time, and without waiting for the nobles to salute him, he casually handed over his hands and said: "I have neglected you by keeping you waiting here for a long time." He pretended to blame the people accompanying him at the door.
Liu Ziming said: "How could Ziming be so indifferent to the noble gentry in the county and let them wait outside for so long?"
"Your Excellency, you are very polite. You are a prince of the county, you have made great achievements for the imperial court, and you have come to serve in our Fanyang County. I heard that your Excellency is very busy with official duties, and considering our low status, we have not come to disturb you. Today I heard
It's too trivial to say that your Excellency will wait for a moment in front of the prefect's mansion when you return to the county town. If you didn't know which gate your Excellency entered the city through, I would have to go out of the city to greet you so that I can show some respect." A man in his fifties said.
, a man in brocade clothes with a fair face, a slightly fat body and a good temperament, squinted his eyes and smiled, and bowed to Wang Junlin with a dozen nobles behind him.
This was the first time for these dozen nobles from the county and city to meet Wang Junlin at such a close distance. They thought that even if Wang Junlin was not as vicious as the legends say, he should still be like a sharp blade unsheathed, with a sharp aura.
But at this time, Wang Junlin had a gentle look on his face. If they hadn't known about this terrifying deed, they would never have believed that this was the legendary poisonous general Qin An, Duke Junlin. However, the fat man with a white face who took the lead had deep thoughts in his heart.
Understand that the more gentle and restrained these peerless vicious men are, the sharper their edges will be beyond everyone's expectations. What happened in the salt field in the past few days is proof.
Next, everyone introduced their families, and Wang Junlin nodded in turn.
"You have come with great gifts, why don't you follow me into the mansion, and I will have a banquet hosted for you?" Wang Junlin invited casually, not very enthusiastic, but not cold either.
"Your Excellency has been on the road for a day. I will come back to visit you another day. Today I just brought gifts to greet you and will not disturb you anymore." The man who took the lead was named Wen Yuanming, who was the most powerful person in the county.
The aristocratic leader of the Wen family also has the title of county prince, and he also has a nephew who serves as an eighth-rank official in the county government.
Regarding Wen Yuanming's answer, Wang Junlin was not surprised at all. These people deliberately did not go outside the city to greet him. Apparently they just wanted to express themselves appropriately and did not want to be misunderstood by the Lu family. They would not enter the prefect's mansion to participate in the banquet.
Wang Junlin knew that he could not rush the nobles of Fanyang County to leave the Lu family and express their surrender to him. Now these people came to greet him and even sent him heavy gifts. This was what he had achieved through a series of actions in the salt field.
The effect was good, so he didn't make it difficult for them. He complied with their wishes with a calm face, accepted their gifts, and let them go.
As soon as Wang Junlin entered the mansion, Liu Ziming said: "Sir, there are people coming from the capital. They are a eunuch from the palace and a supervisory censor named Chen. They came in the afternoon. The lower official decided to let them enter the mansion in advance.
rest."
Wang Junlin was a little surprised, nodded, frowned and said: "There is nothing wrong with letting them enter the palace to rest, but His Majesty has a secret decree. It is normal for the palace servants to come, but the supervisory censor from the Yushitai has also come. How can this be done?
Is it called a secret decree?"
At this moment, Shen Guoer appeared out of nowhere and said, "Sir, the details of the two people from Beijing have been found out. The eunuch is named Zhang Da, who is His Majesty's confidant, and the supervisory censor is named Chen Sixi.
It can be regarded as a direct descendant of His Majesty's original East Palace, but in fact he is Yu Shiji's confidant. Chen Sishi was able to come to Fanyang County with Zhang Da to convey the secret decree, and it was Yu Shiji's suggestion to Your Majesty."
