Not long after the guard made the announcement, a middle-aged man in a green robe with a double-winged official hat on his head slowly walked in from outside the door.
The tips of both wings are pointed upward, which looks a bit funny.
His eyes were not big, but his eyes were alert. He looked around before he entered the door.
When Wu Ma saw Liu Shilong's clever look, he felt a little at ease.
"Headmaster Liu, please let me see how wonderful you are. You don't have to do anything overnight, and you can tell the truth when you go out."
The dancing horse wanted to watch a good show - Wang Wei wanted to win over Liu Shilong, but he didn't know that Liu Shilong had already eaten Li Yuan's whole banquet of Jin cuisine, and his belly was all white.
Poor Wang Wei looked around Jinyang County, old and young, and found that all those with high official status, some fame, and no integrity basically followed Li Yuan. In the end, they could only follow the mass line and start from the grassroots level.
Starting from the beginning, anti-Li forces were developed from the township level.
There is nothing wrong with the grassroots line.
The problem is that there are countless township heads in Jinyang County, but Liu Shilong has eaten a full banquet of Jin cuisine from Li Yuan, so Wang Wei went to find Liu Shilong.
Logically speaking, the mayor of the Sui Dynasty was such a low-ranking official that he didn't even have a high rank. Liu Shilong's probability of getting to know Li Yuan was almost close to the current probability of a village chief getting to know a senior municipal official.
Moreover, this senior city official is by no means an ordinary senior city official, at least he is the top leader in the provincial capital.
But things in this world sometimes just don’t make sense.
Because of the introduction of Pei Ji, a famous pimp in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, Liu Shilong and Li Yuan met by chance.
In terms of personality charm, Li Yuan, who would later become the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was far more powerful than Wang Wei. Liu Shilong finished a meal of Jin cuisine and boarded Li Yuan's pirate ship without looking back.
No, it should be said that it was the aircraft carrier Wude bound for the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
So, what is about to happen is: Wang Wei and Gao Junya go to Liu Shilong to discuss counterinsurgency, and Liu Shilong turns around and rebels.
At the critical moment when the rain-praying meeting was about to begin, and the sacrifices were about to be put on the altar together with chickens, cows, and sheep, Wu Ma just wanted to ask Township Chief Liu Da if he could make a quick decision and hurry up and report - before the sacrifice
Lying on the stage for too long can easily lead to sores.
After Liu Shilong entered the hall, Wang Wei welcomed him with a smile, offered him a seat at the end, and introduced everyone in the hall to him one by one.
Liu Shilong was polite and said: "I don't know what the commander-in-chief has to do when he summons his subordinates."
Wang Weidao said: "I have always heard that Chief Liu is diligent in official duties in Jinyang Township. He is well-versed in everything, has outstanding political achievements, and is deeply loved by the people. Recently, someone has talked to me about your kindness, saying that you are loyal, civilized and military.
He has both political integrity and talent. Since it is obvious to all that Mr. Liu is a talented person, I would like to express my gratitude to the Holy Lord and put him to good use with you."
"Thank you for staying."
Liu Shilong looked as usual, cupped his hands and replied:
"Shilong is indeed diligent and diligent in his daily life, working day and night in public affairs, but he never plans to get promoted or make a fortune. He never has any hope of rising to prominence. He only thinks of serving the saint wholeheartedly. I know that my virtues are insufficient and my talents are lacking, so I work diligently.
If you keep plowing, you will only be afraid of betraying the grace of the saint. As for the important use of the saint mentioned above, Shilong is only afraid that his ability is limited and he will live up to the high hopes of the county magistrate."
After Wu Long heard this, he thought to himself that this old cunning guy had obviously eaten a full banquet of Jin cuisine and boarded Li Yuan's pirate ship. In all likelihood, Li Yuan had promised some high official.
Anyway, Liu Shilong no longer looked down on Wang Wei, a small county magistrate. Let alone the official recommended by Wang Wei to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, how could he be given the title of county magistrate?
When the township chief went to the county magistrate, he was already promoted beyond the level.
According to the history books, Liu Shilong later followed Li Yuan and became a prostitute, becoming Honglu Qing, Taifu Qing, and Shaofu Supervisor successively. He was also named Ge Guogong, and he was promoted to the third rank.
Today, he is one of the top leaders of national ministries and commissions, a high-ranking official. If not counting his later imprisonment in Lingnan due to crimes, Liu Shilong was still in the right boat and on the right team.
Wang Wei said: "Mr. Liu is too modest. Gems are hidden in mines, and pearls are hidden in gravel. They can be hidden for a while, but they cannot be hidden for a lifetime. The talent of a world-famous dragon has been seen by the world and praised by everyone. Why should he be modest?"
"To be honest," Wang Wei raised his hand to something, "I recommended you to Duke Tang a long time ago. I originally wanted Duke Tang to report your achievements to the court, ask for credit for you, and support you."
As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly, "I originally thought that with Mr. Tang's qualifications, as long as he was willing to recommend him, you would be able to be reused. But I didn't expect Mr. Tang to say that although you have outstanding abilities, you are from a humble background and have very little qualifications, and you still need to work hard."
After a lot of experience...it's a pity, it's really a pity."
Wu Ma immediately understood - Li Yuan was the hereditary Duke of Tang and was the top leader in Taiyuan. Naturally, the Duke of Tang was referring to Li Yuan.
The twists and turns in classmate Wang Wei’s belly do have some skills. When arranging Li Yuan’s words, they are not exaggerated, not overdone, reasonable, nor do they seem to be deliberately slandering. They are more realistic and can be included in official textbooks.
Since ancient times, destroying people's futures is like blocking people's wealth, taking away people's wives, and cannibalizing people's flesh and blood.
If Liu Shilong hadn't eaten a full banquet of Jin cuisine earlier, he would probably hate Li Yuan to death by now.
At this moment, Liu Shilong showed the qualities that a rural cadre with many years of experience at the grassroots level and a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty should have -
He was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he seemed to turn red and said:
"Old thief Li Yuan bullies people too much! It's in vain that I treat him respectfully, always sing praises to him, and follow his orders in every possible way. It's unfair for a dog and rat to treat me like this. I'm really... I'm really..."
As he spoke, he gnashed his teeth and looked resentful, wishing to gnaw his bones and eat his flesh.
After Wu Ma heard this, he almost ducked his waist - if he still had a waist now.
The dancing horse couldn't help but want to clap. Wang Wei's move was very clever. Although Liu Shilong's reaction was half a beat slow, his retaliation was firm and the angle was clever. When the barrage started, he could give a 666.
Wu Ma guessed that Liu Shilong must have known for a long time that Wang Wei, Gao Junya and Li Yuan were not getting along. Now he turned the topic to Li Yuan and deliberately caused Liu Shilong to dislike Li Yuan. It must be because the two of them were plotting against Li Yuan.
Liu Shilong is right.
What Liu Shilong said is very interesting.
He fully expressed his surprise at Li Yuan's refusal to recommend him and his disappointment at the hopelessness of promotion. At the same time, he firmly stated that he and Li Yuan were not in the same trench and could not urinate in a chamber pot.
The implication of Liu Shilong's words is: Mr. Jun Cheng, if you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly.
Wang Wei said, "Head Liu must be careful what he says. If Mr. Tang falls into the trap of his words, there is no guarantee that he will not give you a pair of small shoes to wear."
"I only said this in front of the county magistrate,"
Liu Shilong looked around the three people in the hall and said in a low voice: "The people here are all upright and righteous people. I doubt they would do such a villainous thing."
"Besides, you don't have to be respectful to this three-breasted monster if you stay behind," Liu Shilong stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Li Yuan's mansion.
"Li Yuan is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit and holds a high position, but this thief may not be loyal to the Holy One. I have heard people talk about it recently, saying that Li Yuan's recruitment of troops is very large, which seems to be very counter-intuitive. Why don't the county magistrates go to the court?
He has ulterior motives and intends to rebel, so he can't bear to eat and walk away."
