Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

But it’s not enough for the “villains” in the court to compete for favor. Li Shimin knows very well that he is not an omniscient god, and he doesn’t understand many things. Places that cannot be considered.

Therefore, he needs ministers like Changsun Wuji to assist him, counselors like Wei Zheng to point out his mistakes, and brothers and close friends like Zhang Nuo to help him.

But those "little people" are different. They don't care about the government, let alone the lives of the people. They only care about whether a certain idea or policy is what the emperor Li Shimin wants to do.

As long as it is what he wants to do, they will support it, and even follow him to make things more beautiful.

Are such people happy to use it?

As a person, having such caring subordinates is naturally a pleasure. You don’t need to say anything, the subordinates will understand your thoughts thoroughly, and then solve the matter beautifully. What’s wrong with that? ?

But as an emperor, Li Shimin can clearly see from the history books that every emperor who trusts such a "villain" will end up with bad results!

After all, no matter how wise the emperor is, he can't guarantee that every decree of his is correct, but those people can pretend to be invisible and execute every decree of the emperor beautifully.

If things go on like this for a long time, the development of the country really depends on the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, Li Shimin hated Ma Zhou who dared to think about his own thoughts and speak directly.

In fact, if you read it from the history books, it can also explain why Ma Zhou finally came to the throne after Li Zhi ascended the throne.

Because Li Zhi was not the decisive founding emperor like Li Shimin, he liked to be coaxed by others. It would be even better if he could do things beautifully while being coaxed like Ma Zhou.

But who is Li Shimin?This is an emperor who fights for his own territory and grabs the throne by himself!

This kind of person has his own ideas and ideas in governing the country. On the one hand, what he needs is an executor who can implement the final decree; Someone like Wei Zheng who can point out the shortcomings of his government orders.

As for the villain who speculates on the holy will and speculates, he really doesn't need it. After all, although the Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, it has long been managed by him, and he doesn't need the help of the villain at all. Go make plans and be clever!

In his view, a good policy is to stand up to discussion and opposition, and not to be afraid of others’ criticisms, and if it can’t stand it, it proves that the decree still has problems and needs to be improved, instead of just ignoring his ideas carry out.

In that way, he would feel refreshed and comfortable, but what about this empire?

This also explained why he looked at Ma Zhou now as if he was looking at a dead man.

Li Shimin saw that Ma Zhou's back was already wet with cold sweat, so he sighed deeply, closed his eyes and said softly,

"Put things down, go out, and do your best in the history of Prince Qin's palace chief in the future!"

Ma Zhou almost fell limp to the ground in an instant, his mind was buzzing. He never thought that after taking a risk, he would get such a result.

Just as he himself thought before, the worst outcome would be to be scolded, how could he drive him away without saying a word.

And he also understood what His Majesty meant just now, which means that Ma Zhou doesn't have to think about anything else now, and even the chief official of the Ministry of Railways may not have to think about it later, just be honest and honest as the governor of Qin Wangfu, don't think about it Some are gone.

Even Ma Zhou, who was as smart as Ma Zhou, had instantly thought of what His Majesty hadn't said, that is, if it wasn't for His Highness King Qin's sake, he would have been cold right now.

He was able to keep the position of the long history because His Royal Highness King Qin used him more easily, otherwise, he might be a white body or even a corpse at this moment.

But at this moment, he couldn't say anything anymore. The last sliver of reason in his mind told him that if there were more beeps at this moment, His Royal Highness King Qin would not be able to save his face.

Ma Zhou saluted Li Shimin tremblingly, then walked out staggeringly, and almost tripped over the threshold when he came to the door.

Li Shimin looked up at the bleak figure, then lowered his head, and continued to look at the official document seriously. He, Li Shimin, never lacks people, only talents!

Chapter 604 Li Shimin and his wife tour Pyongyang

What happened between Li Shimin and Ma Zhou, because it happened in Zhang Nuo's study, so no one knew at all.

Regardless of whether it was Li Shimin or Ma Zhou, they all acted as if this incident never happened.

Li Shimin didn't care about such a small person at all, but Ma Zhou learned his lesson and planned to behave honestly.

It's just that what Ma Zhou didn't see was the smile and satisfaction that flashed in Li Shimin's eyes when Ma Zhou appeared in front of Li Shimin with renewed vigor.

For Li Shimin, human beings are not static, virtuous ministers may degenerate into villains, and criminal ministers may also reform themselves. He is willing to give people a chance, but whether he can grasp it depends on personal fate.

Of course, if it was a salted fish like Zhang Nuo who didn't care about official positions, titles, or power at all, then he didn't say anything. There was only one such capable salted fish in the entire Tang Dynasty.

So for Zhang Nuo, Li Shimin's way of getting along with him has always been to treat him with sincerity, and treat him as a true friend and brother. Only in this way can Zhang Nuo, a salty fish, help him willingly.

Otherwise, Zhang Nuo might be able to do things like attacking Korea, but it would be strange if you expect Zhang Nuo to be able to do things like guarding Pyongyang and developing the entire territory.

Didn’t you see that Li Shimin left him here to handle official business when he first arrived? You must know that when Li Shimin came back from the port area, due to time and safety reasons, he took thousands of guards directly from the port area to Pyongyang by land. of the city.

That is to say, Li Shimin hasn't even seen the train in Pyongyang city yet, so why didn't Zhang Nuo kick him aside anyway, and take his wife out to play like him?

In this way, Zhang Nuo did not regard Li Shimin as an emperor at all. This time was far more than this time. He had done all kinds of drinking and cheating people in Lantian City before.

But Li Shimin just laughed off such things, and occasionally fought back with the same tricks. I didn't see that Zhang Nuo was trapped in Chang'an City by Li Shimin's cheating before, so he couldn't help but suffer.

Could it be that Zhang Nuo couldn't leave directly?

Of course there is, but the friendship between big men is so strange, you are my brother, if you mess with me, then I will accept it, follow your play, and never turn the table with you, but next time This time, I will definitely come back.

This is the tacit understanding between men.

But this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by someone like Zhang Nuo who is not involved in the court. As for Ma Zhou, a junior who has not come up in terms of rank or talent, let's go through the process honestly. Let's talk about when the results are made.

As for now, it is for Zhang Nuo's sake to give him a chance. If he can go on steadily, maybe he will have another chance to perform in front of him in the future.

But judging from the current situation, at least his mentality is okay, and he was not completely confused because of the previous scene!

When Li Shimin came out now, he planned to take a good walk in Pyongyang, and took Empress Changsun to see the city transformed by Zhang Nuo himself.

This is not like Lantian City, where every brick and tile is the embodiment of Zhang Nuo's will, and he must do whatever he wants.

It's not like Chang'an City, there are too many bosses, no matter how face-saving Zhang Nuo is, he can't let everyone follow him, and Zhang Nuo doesn't seem to be interested in doing anything in Chang'an City.
