There were many controversies in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and there were many things to discuss about Wu Zetian's employment strategy.

On a large level, it is natural to suppress those clans, especially the Guan Long nobles, and vigorously promote the personnel of the poor family. On the other hand, that is, don't care about the good or bad, and use it first.

This brings about a consequence, that is, the upper limit of the talents that emerged in the Wu Zhou Dynasty is really high, and it will not fall behind in all feudal dynasties. And the lower limit is really outrageously low, it can be said that there are all five poisons.

Guo Yuanzhen is also from a famous official family, and the Taiyuan Guo family is also a family with a long history. But when it comes to individuals, this guy is indeed an unconventional talent.

The history books clearly record many illegal deeds of his people during his tenure as the lieutenant of Tongquan County, minting private money, plundering and selling people, etc., it can be said that he basically did not fall behind in all the evils that the powerful and powerful bandits could do. This point cannot be washed clean, including the epitaphs written by Chen Ziang, Zhang Shuo and others for their families, and they do not shy away from talking about this matter, which can be said to be first-hand information.

There were many crimes in this way, but after being summoned by Wu Zetian, instead of being questioned, he was used.

One is naturally that Wu Zetian really needs side talents, and even Xue Huaiyi, a Buddha handsome baby who can only travel in autumn, is terrible. The second is naturally because Guo Yuanzhen does have his talent, Wu Zetian still has vision, and the facts have proved that this time he has indeed received a great reward.

When the rest of the people in the hall withdrew, leaving only a few henchmen, Li Tong looked at Guo Yuanzhen and said: "Evil words may be reasonable, but they are not justice after all." Do you think these words can really move me to tolerate your sins? ”

Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly after hearing this: "The humble job is also a poor effort, and a little extravagant. This encounter is really unexpected, so perverse, people are tired, whether it succeeds or not, you have to try it before you are willing. ”

Li Tong heard Guo Yuanzhen say this, but he felt the same way, he often had this idea in previous years, the difference is that the difficulties he encountered are inevitable, and Guo Yuanzhen has a bit of his own initiative to die.

"You are from a famous family, but you can get your birth without relying on your ancestors' shadow and with your own talents, and you have no shortage of ambitions. Now that he has a bad record and is trying the law of the country, isn't this a disappointing of himself? If you do a little checking, can you sigh at the end of the road? ”

Putting aside the immediate matter, Li Tong is really curious about what kind of inner world Guo Yuanzhen is.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't answer the young king's question first, but after hearing this, he said with a look of surprise: "The king actually knows me? ”

"In the old days in the Shendu City, I tried to discuss gossip with Chen Boyu, and I heard a few rural affairs from his mouth, and some of them involved you."

Li Tong also came with nonsense, although he also saw many celebrities in the world, but Chen Ziang really had no direct contact, but it did not prevent him from borrowing a little to lead to the topic.

Guo Yuanzhen's face showed a little embarrassment after hearing this, and he said in a muffled voice: "The Shu people said that I want to be silent." He has a lot of trouble with me in the magistrate's house. ”

As for you, it would be strange if you didn't have a relationship with someone.

"Listening to your persuasion of the county lieutenant, I have my own opinions, and I think I have also suffered a little bit of nostalgia and the trouble of forcing the government order. Could it be that because of this, he gave up on himself, so he wasted himself and wandered in action? ”

Asking like this, Li Tong had already fabricated a high-spirited image for Guo Yuanzhen in his heart that he would go to a distant country, but he was jointly resisted by the rural sect thieves and ran into walls everywhere, and finally became disheartened and had to be stained with the world.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, his face was suspicious, and he said with some uncertainty: "Except for the immediate matter, there seems to be no old grudge between the humble and the king?" Does the king still feel that this crime is still light, and wants to pursue me for the crime of dereliction of duty? ”

Li Tong was speechless when he heard this, this guy is a hob meat, you are alert now, and your mouth is very tight.

"I mean, you have a state and a job, why do you need to deal with a lot of lawlessness and ruin your future?"

He lowered his face and continued to ask.

"Despicable and beautiful, love Chinese clothes, love and enjoy travel, the job is thin, it is not enough, so naturally I can only find another plan. As the king said, the nostalgia of Shubian is more stubborn than elsewhere, and the distant guest lives in eunuchs, which has neither the long term of operation nor the help of the hometown, so it can only operate the insurance industry. ”

Guo Yuanzhen took it for granted.

You have a lot of hobbies!

Li Tong scolded and couldn't help but be a little disappointed after hearing this answer, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, Guo Yuanzhen counted a few cases and few people didn't love it. It can't be said that greed for money and lust are the exclusive domain of people like Wu Youyi, and people like Guo Yuanzhen can only stay away from vulgar desires and make contributions.

It's just the vulgarity of people, and I always feel that those who can achieve great things must be self-denying and prudent, have a noble character, and have both ability and political integrity. But you must know that no matter how beautiful the skin is, there are moments when your face turns red because of constipation.

Although the "New Tang Dynasty Book" also said that Guo Yuanzhen was anxious for justice and righteousness, and his family sent 400,000 yuan, some people came to the door and said that the fifth generation was not buried, and borrowed money for funeral, but Guo Yuanzhen lent all the money to the other party without asking the other party's name.

But this matter looks a bit weird, Li Tong suspects that maybe Guo Yuanzhen asked the gunman to decorate after his career, or maybe it was the descendants who wore it up.

Because this is not very in line with human nature, not Guo Yuanzhen, but the person who borrowed money, you said that your five generations of ancestors have not been buried, it can be seen that you have been poor for generations, 400,000 dollars, others dare to collect it for you?

400,000 yuan is 400 yuan, Tang Taizong used 200 yuan to marry his second daughter, Li Tong was the king of the county, and he was more than 500 yuan a year.

Later generations also rumored that Guo Yuanzhen was Zhang Jiazhen's son-in-law, but looking at this beard, it seems that it is a few points older than Zhang Jiazhen, which shows that it is unreliable.

Li Tong himself has just used many means to swallow people's wealth here, but it is not easy to persuade Guo Yuanzhen to take what the so-called gentleman likes, and take it from the way, and after a little silence, he smiled and said: "Lack of wealth and materials is a major livelihood matter for Hanshu, but it is not worth risking your life for you." Since you are in this predicament, you can help you out of it, so why should you repay me? ”

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he suddenly changed color, because his arms were tied back, he could only touch the ground with his forehead and said: "The humble duty is indeed a crime against the king, but it is really unintentional, begging the king not to harm my life......"

Seeing his state like this, Li Tong's face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "Which one is going to kill you?" What do you mean when you say that you are greedy for pleasure and trapped in material resources, and I am willing to help you with things, but it is to give you grace? Think I'm not worthy of service to make you? Or is it a vicious bite of my family's belongings? ”

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he made a more astringent voice: "The great king Zongzhi is noble, has a good reputation, and what he knows and appreciates is extraordinary. But there is a regular servant, who dares to refuse? Of course, there is nothing else to be in the lowly position, and he walks in his duties, and does not dare to make vain demands anymore. I must have used it very much.

There is neither merit nor prestige, and there are failures in virtue, and the king also knows it. Those who steal are the only ones who dare to fight outside the law. If a lowly person is reckless, all he wants is nothing more than copper silk. The king lives in high pong, and he has to visit and recruit talents outside the event, and he really dare not speak deeply...... Wealth and dead things will naturally not hurt people, but if the situation is perverse, it can kill people. The king's training is beyond the scope of lowly talents, and he really dare not be taught! ”

Li Tong originally looked at Guo Yuanzhen differently, just because he knew about the history books, but when it came to the person in front of him, he was a little disappointed. But after hearing these words, my mentality has changed, and I can do extraordinary things, and I really have extraordinary characteristics.

But in addition to being surprised, his face also became a little unsightly, and those who have deep hearts are always afraid to show their true feelings to others, and his casual remarks led to Guo Yuanzhen's insightful speculation, which naturally made him a little awkward.

When Guo Yuanzhen kowtowed, he was also raising his eyes to peep, and when he saw that the young king's expression was a little uncertain, he panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The lowly position is really selfish and obsessed, and he dares to say heresy to the king, vainly seeking to tolerate the outside of the law." I am shocked by my own introspection, and I implore the king to punish me, and I am willing to be punished by the law of the country! ”

Li Tong was a little upset, but after hearing Guo Yuanzhen say this, he couldn't help but be happy, pointed at this guy and sneered: "Do you think you can still have your own destiny now?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen's body stiffened, looked at Yang Siqiao, who had approached, and said astringently: "Entering the mansion with a humble position, the group has a good eye, and the official affairs are in the body, and there is also a record in the governance...... There are all kinds of things, it is by no means coercion, but the safety of a life is a small matter, and I really dare not disturb the king to be involved in miscellaneous disputes. ”

"I really hate miscellaneous disputes, and I am most happy to be idle, but there are always people who are not interested and provoke them. Whenever this happens, it is nothing more than drawing a knife and breaking the numbness. Didn't you also say that if you have a grudge and die, you need to be careful. I am impatient with this kind of long-term disturbance, and you will be punished, and it is inevitable that you will have a grudge, so I simply cut it off at this time. ”

When Li Tong said this, he had already stood up, walked in front of Guo Yuanzhen, looked down, and continued to smile: "How much can a distant county lieutenant disturb him?" I can bear this kind of slander and trouble. You have been derelict in your duties a lot, and now you are committing cross-border crimes, and you unfortunately provoked my former subordinates, and killed them according to the situation, and there is a reason for the incident. Although he committed a crime outside the law, he deserves the reputation of affection. ”

He raised his hand and patted Guo Yuanzhen's thick shoulder, and said in his mouth: "It's a pity that it's a pity that such a brave man entered my hall but was not used by me." I'm a permanent stable, just waiting for famous horses, since you cherish your own horsepower, then I can only pick up bones. ”

When Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, he was quite wild on his own, but he didn't expect that this king's handsome skin was full of black belly, and he had already calculated how to operate public opinion after killing him.

"Ordinary people talk about marriage, and there are also books and gifts. The king wants to take my risk, can't he be a little patient? The prime of life is short, the poor country is staggering, can it not be depressed? Fortunately, he was blue-eyed by the famous king, and he was sincerely afraid and made a mistake. The reason why he is not in vain is that he is just boasting of his ability to see the future, and I hope that the king can be more important! ”

When Guo Yuanzhen said this, his demeanor was extremely solemn and solemn: "The king of the dragon dives into the abyss, and transforms with the situation. Although the humble position is not in the wonderful realm, since the ancient righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, the people meet me, the people report it, the countryman meets me, and the countryman repays it! In the micro is to work hard, in the obvious is to conspire with the country, cut the liver and drain the gall, do not live up to this grace, the next year to climb the Lingyan Pavilion, from the public, there will be me! ”

When Li Tong heard this, he saw Guo Yuanzhen's eyes wide with a look of "I really wasn't forced", and he only felt that both of them had tarnished this impassioned declaration, if it wasn't for knowing what was going on, I believe that you have a ghost with this broken mouth!
