Chapter 2 Hindsight
Li Longji looked at Guo Yuanzhen in astonishment, and said in a speechless manner: "Wang Maozhong is not enough to take on this important task, who else can?" "Li Longji knows Wang Maozhong's ability very well. When Wang Mao Zhong was young, the whole family did not enter the official mansion as a slave because www.biquge.info of his father's illegal law, so he became his domestic slave and stood out under him. He saw that Wang Maozhong was aware of his sexuality, and he was brave and good at shooting. Wang Maozhong lived up to this weight and performed extremely well. In the Tanglong coup d'Γ©tat three years ago, Li Longji was able to get the help of 10,000 cavalry soldiers, and Wang Maozhong can be said to have made great contributions. He never imagined that Guo Yuanzhen was not enough to take on such an important task.
Guo Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "Wang Maozhong is just brave, not a real good player. As far as I know, several of Chang Yuankai's guards have come to the rivers and lakes, and they are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes. Chang Yuankai and Li Ci are also veteran generals in the army, and they both have certain means of self-protection. Once they missed, the two shouted for the Yulin Army to fight back and abandon their previous efforts. β
Li Longji has no doubts about Guo Yuanzhen's remarks: It is impossible for Guo Yuanzhen to make such a comprehensive layout in such a short period of time, and he must have planned this matter in his heart before today, and he has done a detailed understanding of this matter, so that he can have today's strategy, and his foresight is nothing more than that.
"Do you have a good candidate?" Li Longji really couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he asked everyone.
Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong looked at each other and couldn't answer, if they asked who they were talented and who was outstanding, they might be able to answer one or two. This asked them who was superior in martial arts, and they were not good at it, and they did not associate with these people, how to respond.
Guo Yuanzhen's mind came to mind the heroic posture of Pei Min winning the martial arts champion today, thinking of the good players who participated in the martial arts to knock him down in the ring one by one, and said: "Lao Chen, there is a candidate here, but ......"
"Who?" Li Longji hurriedly asked, Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong also looked at Guo Yuanzhen, a little impatient, and thought: Someone will say it earlier, what is the sale?
Guo Yuanzhen said: "Pei Min! β
β¦β¦
"But Pei Min, the champion of today's department?" Wei Zhi glanced at Guo Yuanzhen strangely.
Wang Ju was stunned and said, "Isn't he a literati?" β
Cui Riyong also said: "Pei Min knows martial arts? β
Li Longji also remembered the heroic sword dance on the flower boat that day, and he was also a little surprised.
Even if they are in high positions, they have all heard of Pei Min's name: talented, suave and suave are the most boasted, but they don't know much about martial arts, and the only performance is just the title of the sword. They are not good at martial arts, and they know that writing with a sword requires extraordinary swordsmanship skills.
Guo Yuanzhen said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, Pei Min is both civil and military, and in today's martial arts assessment, he is different in martial arts. This year, there are five Wuju Wujin soldiers, but he is the only one in Wuju. β
Li Longji, Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong all felt that the wind was messy, and they couldn't react for a while. After high school, Wenju went to the martial arts exam, don't you know that the status of Wen Zhuangyuan is far better than that of martial arts?
After thinking about it carefully, when I reacted, I was shocked: the champion of literature and the only martial arts are different, isn't it equal to the double champion of civil and military. Who has had such glory throughout the ages?
Li Longji first said with a somewhat appreciative tone: "As early as that day, listening to his questions and answers in the imperial examination, I knew that his work was a little rare, and I had the heart to wait for him to be promoted, but I didn't expect that he was an all-rounder." β
Guo Yuanzhen said: "The old minister met him today, and he also felt that this son was clear-minded, especially long-term, not limited to ancient methods, and many novel remarks were rare. It's just that Princess Taiping bought him one step ahead of us, and even gave away her mansion worth a thousand gold. Whether it will be used by us, this old minister does not dare to confirm. β
Wang Ju also said: "I have also heard about this, and it is rumored that Pei Min is still having an affair with Princess Taiping, if this is the case." Asking him for help is not self-defeating? β
Li Longji's face was a little gloomy, when he was swimming in Pei Min's flower boat on the lake that day, he had the intention to invite the other party to come on the boat, but he couldn't help himself. I wanted to wait for Pei Min to report to the Ministry of War and have a good chat with him, but I didn't want to give Princess Taiping a head start. If he is still the prince or the king of Linzi, how can he be so passive. If he had known that he was all-round in civil and military affairs, he would not let go of anything. Now that I think about it, it's too late to regret it.
Guo Yuanzhen said: "Pei Min is worthy of Princess Taiping, but I don't think it is necessary to say how loyal he is to Taiping." I don't have a deep contact with him, but I can see that he has his own city insights, and he should not easily decide his future. As for having an affair with Princess Taiping, I think it's a rumor. I also believe in Brother Xue's vision, Brother Xue has been in Chang'an for nearly a month, I wanted to invite him to drink and send someone to send a post, but I learned that he was a guest in Pei Min's house. It wasn't until yesterday that I wrote back to make an appointment with me. Now that I think about it, it should be that the martial arts are approaching, and he personally urged Pei Min to move forward. With Brother Xue's integrity, he lives in Pei's Mansion, if Pei Min really has a personal relationship with Princess Taiping, how can he be indifferent! β
Li Longji had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important, and you can't be careless. Guo Gong and Xue Gong are good, and it is up to you to contact Xue Gong. After Xue Gong was loyal and good, he devoted himself to the country, and he deserved my trust and entrusted with great things. Let him know our plan, and you may discuss it together. When Pei Min comes out, I will also meet him in person. As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong: "I can't pin all my hopes on Pei Min alone, you can also find candidates on your own, but remember that you must be cautious, do not make mistakes, and do not disclose today's events." Once you find the right character, act immediately. β
**********
After Pei Min won the martial arts championship, he did not return to Pei's mansion directly, but went to He Zhizhang's mansion to invite He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu to drink in his mansion to celebrate.
He Zhizhang was promoted again because of the excellent preparation of this imperial examination, and became the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, there are many things, Zhang Xu doesn't know which tavern to go into, and neither of them is in the house.
Pei Min had no choice but to leave a message and report the news before Xue Ne and Liu Shenwei when he returned home.
Xue Ne and Liu Shenwei were both happy that Pei Min won the championship.
Xue Ne looked at Pei Min who was a little proud of the spring breeze in front of him, and remembered the first time he saw him in the Dadu Governor's Mansion that day, and he was also quite impressed in his heart, it was only a year, and there were still some young men who were young back then, but now he revealed a different style on his body, and the double champion of civil and military affairs was indeed amazing, thinking of the rumors he heard in the market today, he couldn't help asking: "What is the relationship between you and Princess Taiping?" β
Pei Min was stunned and said, "It doesn't matter!" The eldest princess wanted to win me into her door, and I wanted to be perfunctory, but she was not as savage as she was to forcibly pull me into the party. β
Xue Ne hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't have that kind of relationship with her?" β
Pei Min didn't react for a while, and it took a while to figure it out...... In hindsight, when Pei Min knew that the rumors were already known, he finally knew that he had already had a leg with Taiping in the eyes of the world.
