God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

But after I really got to know him, I realized that this guy is just an old man, a bit old and unscrupulous.

But if you think about it, this guy is the one who fools Xie Li around. If he is completely old-fashioned, it is absolutely impossible. This guy is probably the kind who is so smart.

"Hey, you're finally back, kid. I thought the emperor was going to keep you in the palace and become the son-in-law of the eldest princess." Tang Jian said with a smile on his face.

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the emperor will get angry when the time comes, you and I won't be able to eat and walk around."

"Hmph, you kid!"

Tang Jian glanced at him angrily, and continued to eat, probably prepared by Xiaojiu.

When they came to Chang'an this time, they brought a few maids who could cook with them, just to serve them for dinner.

These court ladies' cooking skills were taught by Wang Xiu himself, and they already have a certain level of enthusiasm.

At least Tang Jian eats very well.

Wang Xiu didn't continue to bother, but stayed by the side, thinking about how to get the most benefit during this trip to Chang'an.

On the other hand, Tang Jian put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Xiu.

"Nephew, you are in too much limelight now, I'm afraid you are in a lot of trouble." He said meaningfully.

"Hou Junji?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not just Hou Junji, it's just that he is the most obvious. Others also have a lot of opinions on you, because you blocked their way."

in the way?

Hearing Tang Jian's words, Wang Xiu couldn't help sneering, he doesn't care about this matter, he just needs to develop silently.

Now Linyi is in his hands, and Chenla is not far away.

If I get angry, I will just sit on the ground and become the king. I am really not afraid of these people making troubles. As long as they develop enough, the world will be able to go there.

"Uncle, these people are small-minded. I, Wang Xiu, sit in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't have much contact with them. Just because of this matter, if you have an opinion on me, then you have an opinion."

I really don't care.

Tang Jian had black lines on his face, is this a human language, you kid is too arrogant.

He couldn't help being a little speechless, and said with a wry smile: "What do you know, kid? Didn't you realize that although the military general of the court spoke to you before, it was just to say hello?"

"what's the situation?"

"Naturally, the camps are different. It has been less than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

Tang Jian glanced at him and said meaningfully: "It means that many generals in the court have made great contributions since the founding of the country. These people are deeply loved by the emperor, but they also have the biggest shortcoming. ..."

What the hell!

Having said that, Wang Xiu suddenly realized.

God damn its shortcomings, this clearly means that these people have some high-level skills, so many people in the emperor dare not use them. The most typical one is Li Jing, another prime minister today.

Although he was a giant in the army, he took over the position of You Pushe after Changsun Wuji voluntarily resigned and Du Ruhui died.

To put it bluntly, the right prime minister came and began to participate in government affairs.

But for the army, there are very few opportunities to use it. Unless there is a major battle, Li Jing is generally not used.

Because his credit is not small, if it continues, even if it is because of Li Shimin's outstanding military exploits, there is no master of high merit, but another situation will occur.

There is no seal!

Most of them are the founders of the country now, which is already the largest title other than the king, and if they are awarded again, they will be crowned kings.

With the lessons learned from the big man, Li Shimin obviously doesn't want to do this. Once he does this, the power of the Li royal family will be divided, which is what he doesn't want to see.

In this way, Wang Xiu, a newcomer, undoubtedly became the best choice.

In the eyes of some veteran officials, this is undoubtedly a job grab, and naturally they have to confront each other, just like Hou Junji.

He is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War, but according to Wang Xiu's pace of development, I am afraid that in two years, Hou Junji will have nothing to do with him, so naturally he will not give up easily.

To put it bluntly, this is the contest between established groups and emerging groups in the textbook.I didn't expect that I would personally participate in it, it's really interesting!

"Haha, that's interesting, so I'm in my own way?" Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

puff!

Seeing that Wang Xiu understood, Tang Jian was relieved at first, but he didn't expect that Wang Xiu's words would spurt out the wine in his mouth.

"You can still laugh, kid. If it weren't for the fact that you are Wang Yuan's son, I wouldn't care about you kid."

He glared at Wang Xiu, seeing that he was still smiling, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Why are you so self-contained, half your life is on the road to Huangquan, you don't know yet."

This is an extremely dangerous person. How can the founders of the country have fuel-efficient lamps? All of them are powerful.

If Wang Xiu finished offending them, he would definitely die a miserable death.After all, once these people make a move, they won't play tricks on you.

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle, I know." Wang Xiu nodded, knowing everything in his heart.

Tang Jian looked suspicious, but also nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's good that you know, but your meritorious deeds are too fast, which is not a good thing for you. These people are all staring at you, and something will definitely happen. It’s going to be a big fuss.”

"And the emperor thinks highly of you, besides your loyalty, I'm afraid he also uses you to suppress these veterans. Recently, the emperor has promoted many officials, such as Ma Zhou and others."

"And you are undoubtedly the leader among these people, and you will inevitably be feared by veteran officials, so you are under a lot of pressure, so you must be careful."

He was quite worried that Wang Xiu might not be able to hold back.

"What a leader, it's suddenly cleared up like this, but Tang Jian is not easy!"

Seeing that his thinking was so clear, Wang Xiu couldn't help being moved, this is probably the legendary old fox.

According to legend, he was not good at being a human being, and played chess to seize Li Shimin's favorable position, which made Li Shimin unhappy.

Afterwards, he didn't do any good deeds, enjoyed drinking with guests every day, went to and from the land of fireworks and green willows, and ended up sadly.

From the looks of it now, the old guy probably did it on purpose.

As the Duke of the state, he is already an extremely human minister, if he is promoted again, it will be dangerous. It is better to retreat and defile himself before he can die well.

If you look at it this way, this guy is really smart.

Chapter 240 I also want to keep a low profile

Wang Xiu couldn't help but gave a thumbs up with a smile, and said in admiration: "After listening to my uncle's words today, I know that my uncle is a real smart person. Hou Junji and others are so far behind my uncle!"

Among other things, Hou Junji was ten blocks away from the way to protect himself as an official.

This guy is a minister of the Ministry of War, and he is ambitious and seeks to make progress. He clearly wants to be crowned king or something. This is completely the way to die.

I'm afraid that being crowned king one second will be almost cold the next.

The old man still understands people.

What do you want to be promoted after you have reached the state? Isn't this just looking for something to do for the emperor, why don't you just enjoy counting balls with peace of mind.

This is not his death, Hou Junji and his family were beheaded.

"Hahaha, as long as you know, being an official is an art!" Tang Jian laughed loudly, picked up a plate of peanuts, and then walked away.

Before leaving, he turned around and reminded: "Tomorrow is your first time going to court, you have to be ready, I'm afraid it will not be that simple!"

Wang Xiu's eyes were fixed. Could it be that the legendary failure to get off the horse!

He couldn't help muttering: "This damn is trying to bully me as a rookie, you may not think too much, I am a loyal minister, how can I let you bully me?"

Since Li Shimin supports him, then he, the leader, can't admit to being cowardly.

It doesn't matter whether you make enemies or not, the key is that Hou Junji makes me unhappy, so let you be the first shot.

After all, it's my first time going to court, so I can't just clock in and go to work.

Xiao Jiu worried on the side: "Mr. Lang, this place is too dangerous, why don't we go back to Jiaozhou, at least no one dares to mess with us there."

It's too dangerous here, why do I feel like they are all bad guys.

"Silly girl, it will be easier for them to handle us back in Jiaozhou." Wang Xiu scratched her little nose and said with a smile.

Xiaojiu pouted all of a sudden, she thought of the poison she had developed, maybe she should poison those people to death, so as to save a lot of trouble.

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "You girl is not allowed to use poison indiscriminately. I have my own way to deal with these people. You tidy up the official uniform for me. Tomorrow is the first time I will go to court."

There are many first times in life, but this is the first time to go to court, and you have to face all kinds of enemies. Thinking about it, I am a little excited.

"Don't worry, I've already tidied it up." Xiaojiu nodded.

"Good guy, he's becoming more and more virtuous."

Wang Xiu smiled, and went to rest directly. After all, he was still a little tired after sitting on the boat for so long and traveling on the road.

……

Before dawn the next day, Wang Xiu was called to get up, and suddenly looked at Xiaojiu in front of him in a daze.

"Xiaojiu, it's not dawn yet, why did you wake me up?"

Xiaojiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said aggrievedly: "Mr. Tang, Master Tang reminded Xiaojiu yesterday that he will be ready to go to court at five o'clock. You can't be late on the first day!"

What the hell!

Wang Xiu jumped up from the bed at once, and then he remembered the inhumane work and rest time in ancient times. It was not just getting up at five o'clock, and some people were far away, and they would get up at almost three o'clock.

"Damn, this Chang'an is really not a place to stay for a long time. If this continues, I will be driven crazy."

"Getting up at three o'clock is a nightmare."

"It's no wonder that officials tend to die early these days. It's no wonder that they can't be killed."

But complaints are complaints, but if you are late on the first day, those censors will probably go crazy and impeach.

Hearing Langjun's complaint, Xiaojiu nodded viciously and rubbed her dim eyes. She didn't sleep well yesterday, but she was worried that Langjun fell asleep.

It's a good thing I'm more careful, otherwise something will happen.

……

After Wang Xiu packed up here, it was already past four o'clock. He went straight to Chengtianmen, and started clocking in today.

Many officials appeared one after another on the road, all listless, like eggplants beaten by frost, coming in sedan chairs.

Wang Xiu yawned, didn't bother to greet them, and went straight into the palace.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Xuanling at a glance. This model worker of the Tang Dynasty really deserved to be a model worker. He was the first to arrive at court.

"Haha, Wang Xiu, you're not late. I thought you wouldn't come today!" After Cheng Yaojin came in, he saw Wang Xiu at a glance, and his eyes lit up.

Wang Xiu glanced at him, this guy didn't remind himself yesterday, he was clearly planning to watch a joke, this old boy is not a good person.

"Su Guogong came early, I thought you don't have to show up so early?"

"why?"

Wang Xiu glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "The great people, don't they all appear last, look at the emperor."

what?

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, this is really true, isn't the emperor always the last to arrive, as expected, the big shots are always the last to arrive.

"Next time I have to be a little later, or I'm sorry for my status."

The people next to them looked at the two people who were out of tune, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of their mouths, and there was a black line on their heads. They didn't look like they went to court in the morning, but they were clearly shopping in the vegetable market.

At this time, the officials were almost all here, and Li Shimin finally came.

"Go up!"

"Long live my emperor, long live!!"

Li Shimin was in high spirits every time he had a happy event, after chatting with his eldest grandson Wugou last night, he almost didn't fall asleep because he was so excited.

Wang Xiu's military training gave him an excellent idea, and he can completely use the army for his own use, which is extremely important.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at the court in front of him, and saw Wang Xiu at a glance.

"I'm very happy today, because I, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, finally came to Chang'an, and because Wang Xiu made another great contribution, I feel comforted in my heart!"

What the hell!

Wang Xiu's face turned green, so he directly blamed me, Lao Li is too cruel.

Sure enough, the surrounding officials were stupefied, and this kid Wang Xiu actually made meritorious service again. What's going on? Didn't he just come to Chang'an?
