Chapter 301 Quan Wanji

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Ke didn't know what Du Ruhui was thinking, but he didn't expect that Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou would appreciate him so much after only a few days of acquaintance.

The so-called Fangmou Dujuan, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin's most powerful right-hand man, Du Ruhui, as the prime minister and minister of the country, was not a problem, and his vision was not bad.

But it's a coincidence, if Li Kehui didn't know people with his eyes, Ma Zhou would have entered the official position later, but he would eventually worship Zhongshu and be the prime minister, and the official post that Ma Zhou was granted after his death was precisely Du Ruhui's former Shangshu Youpushe.

Ma Zhou is Li Ke's arm and confidant, if he can get an important position in the court, it will be more helpful to him, but it is not the most suitable time for Ma Zhou to leave.

Li Ke has accumulated for several years, and there are not a few civil servants and military officials under his command, but Cen Wenwen is far away in Chang'an, out of reach. Although Wang Xuance is good at strategizing, he is not good at internal affairs. Li Ke has made other arrangements for him, and Cen Changqian is just a The young man, as for the rest, the relationship with Li Ke is still one step behind.

Now, Ma Zhou has a heavy burden beside Li Ke. If Ma Zhou leaves, many things for Li Ke will be difficult to do.

Li Ke said with a smile to Du Ruhui: "I heard Cai Guogong's meaning, but I have fallen in love with King Bin, and I intend to be King Bin's Bole."

Du Ruhui hurriedly shook his head and said: "Only one can only be compared, how dare Du dare to compare with His Highness, the people His Highness has met, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance, and Su Dingfang are all servants of the country, how can a minister compare? The minister just cherished his talents for a while, so he made this statement, and I hope His Highness will not blame you."

Li Ke believed Du Ruhui's words.

Du Ruhui was only loyal to Li Shimin, even if Li Ke had saved his life, Du Ruhui only got closer to Li Ke and treated Li Ke not much differently from other princes. That's all.

Li Ke said to Du Ruhui: "This king is a young man, and even if he doesn't know things clearly, how can he know people? It's just a mistake. If the Duke cherishes his talent and wants to recommend it to the court, it is also Ma Zhou's luck. As long as Ma Zhou Zhou wishes to go, and this king is also happy to see it come true."

At this time, if Li Ke bites him to death and refuses to let him go, it would appear to be selfish and quite inappropriate. Instead, it would be better to accept Ma Zhou's heart and appear to be righteous.

After Li Ke agreed, as soon as his words fell, Du Ruhui asked Ma Zhou who was behind Li Ke: "Although I haven't known you for a long time, you are loyal by nature, and I appreciate your talents. Si Lang Zhong Wang Zhi resigned, I would like to recommend you as Shang Shu Sheng You Si Lang Zhong, you are willing to go."

Shangshuxing Yousi Langzhong, but from the fifth-rank official position, it is not a prominent position. It seems very common in the rich and powerful Chang'an City, but it is a position that countless children of aristocratic families want but can't get.

The so-called Yousi Langzhong of Shangshu Province is the second deputy of Shangshu Youcheng, who is in charge of the affairs of the capital of Shangshu, supervises the government affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Criminal Affairs, and Ministry of Industry, and is the top of the Langzhong of the Ministers. .

Although the official position of Shangshu Yousi Langzhong is not obvious, he can control and supervise the six departments in the name of Shangshu Province. Even the six ministers need to be polite to him. Such an official position is naturally considered an important position.

If it were an ordinary courtier, facing such a sudden kindness, he would have responded excitedly, but after hearing Du Ruhui's words, Ma Zhou did not hesitate at all, and immediately refused: "I haven't been an official for a long time, and I feel that I still have something to offer." Insufficient, if you are promoted to a high position rashly, you may not be able to catch up, I am willing to work with His Highness for a few more years, and if the Duke does not give up by then, I will ask for advice."

Ma Zhou could see that Li Ke's current situation was not very comfortable, he had just returned from Jingzhou, and there were still many important matters that needed the assistance of trusted people, how could he leave at this time.

In fact, Du Ruhui had expected Ma Zhou's answer earlier.Ma Zhou has only been an official for a year, and he was only a white man in his early years. When Li Ke entered Xuyi to control the water, he dared to trust him with his affairs after his death.

It's just that Ma Zhou has the talent to govern the world, it would be a pity to put it in the palace of a Chu prince, so Du Ruhui wanted to recommend Ma Zhou because of his pity for his talent, but since Ma Zhou didn't want it, Du Ruhui had no choice but to let it go. .

----------

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Li Chengqian drunkenly said that he only wanted to be refreshing for a while, but he didn't know that his words had been leaked out, and he had already been targeted by Cen Wenwen.

However, Cen Wenwen wants to touch Li Chengqian. In order to avoid suspicion, he will never do it himself, nor will he bother those courtiers who have made good friends with Li Ke and himself. There is absolutely nothing to do with admonishing ministers, and Cen Wenwen chose one person in the court for a long time, and he chose one person: Shi Quan Wanji, the imperial censor!

Quan Wanji used to be the governor of Chaozhou. Later, because of his courageous words, he had a reputation of being honest and honest in the local area, so he was transferred to Chang'an and became an official in Yushitai.

Quan Wanji knows that everyone in the world is a minister of direct admonishment, so he is in favor of others, and often admonishes each other with blunt words in the court. To put it bluntly, what he did was to take the name of being strong.

What's more, Quan Wanji even wrote a letter to impeach Prime Minister Fang Xuanling in order to get a straight name, impeaching him for unfair official examinations, which caused an uproar in the court.

Quan Wanji had a bad reputation in the court, and even offended many people, but it was this kind of people that Cen Wenwen needed most.

It was the afternoon of this day, after Quan Wanji got off duty, he went to Pingkang Fang for recreation together with a few or two like-minded friends.

Although Quan Wanji came from the Tianshui Quan family, a family of military officials, he himself is a civil servant, so his behavior is quite different from those rough people he despised. He entered the brothel, tasted tea, admired paintings, recited poems and made fus, and relied on wine. Jin, who was self-reliant as a servant of the censor Qinggui, hid a lot of government affairs, and then had a good time, and staggered out of the brothel.

As soon as Quan Wanji came out of the gate of the brothel, the servants of Quan's mansion rushed up to greet him, helped Quan Wanji firmly, and walked to his own carriage while saying to Quan Wanji: "Just now when Alang was away, , Someone stuffed a letter into me, and told me to hand it in A Lang's hands."

Quan Wanji heard this and said with a smile: "Let's bring it to me to see. It must be some other people who have been wronged. Knowing my reputation, they are looking for me to avenge their grievances."

Quan Wanji spoke with a bit of complacency in his tone, as if he was very satisfied with his reputation for being loyal and upright outside.

Hearing the words, the house slave agreed, and handed the letter into Quan Wanji's hands.

Quan Wanji took the letter from his slave, and opened it slowly with a smile, but as he read it slowly, the contempt on his face gradually turned serious, but when he finished reading the letter completely, his face was full of embarrassment. There was a strange excitement.

"Hurry up, go back to the mansion immediately, I want to write a letter to Your Majesty!" Quan Wanji said excitedly to his servant with the letter in his hand.
