After Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi converged, they traveled together and embarked on the road north to Gyeongju with hope.

The three of them are all great people, and they all have talents.

They sympathize with each other, they are all frustrated people, they talk to each other along the way, pour bitter water, and become confidants.

After getting along, Liu Renliang, who was conceited and talented, was shocked, and he found that Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi were far above him in politics, and they were comparable to Fu Shuo, Guan Zhong, and Xiao He.

Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi are also heartbroken by Liu Renliang, who is capable of both military and political affairs, the three of them are from a poor family, they are equally talented, and they also have a long frustrated past.

The three of them are all dusty pearls, hoping to shine in Gyeongju, and they are also walking extremely fast. They arrived in Gyeongju only seven days later.

In the evening of this day, he came to the governor's mansion and sent a prayer post.

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi were waiting for the spread of the dust.

I didn't wait long, and I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first.

"The three gentlemen have finally arrived, I look forward to your arrival, but I look forward to seeing through the autumn water......"

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi looked at each other, and they were all surprised by each other.

Soon a young man appeared in their eyes, tall and thin, with an elegant and handsome face, and a luxurious purple robe, which added a lot of nobility to him.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the official uniforms are divided into various colors: purple robes of more than three grades, goldfish bags; Scarlet robes of five grades or above, wearing whitebait bags; Green robe below the sixth grade

In Datang, only officials above the third rank are qualified to wear purple robes, and in the entire Gyeongju, only Luo Tong, who has the three official positions of Gyeongju Governor, General Yunlu, and Champion Hou, is qualified to wear purple official uniforms......

Looking at Luo Tong, who was much younger than them, Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show admiration.

Luo Tong can have today, it is completely his own ability, just as Li Shimin roared in the court that day, Luo Tong first has talent, and then has the status of dozens of people and tens of thousands of people, which is really their model example.

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi, even if they were proud of their talents, had to obey in front of Luo Tong.

Of course, if this was in the Song Dynasty, a dynasty ruled by scholars, it would definitely be impossible. But now it is the Tang Dynasty, not a dynasty where scholars and doctors are rampant, and there is no idea of light martial arts at all, but there are countless scholars who have devoted their pen to Rong, and they have a bias towards heavy martial arts. Therefore, the three of them did not despise Luo Tong as a military general at all, but admired his achievements today, besides, they are not simple generals, but also famous grandmasters in the Tang Dynasty literary world!

At this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that Luo Tong is looking forward to the autumn water, and the authority of the governor is too much and too heavy. The affairs of the Sanzhou Mansion are so complicated, Wang Xuance and Du He alone can't be busy at all, even if there is a person who is not good at complicated things, so is he.

Fortunately, when Li Shimin appointed him as the governor of Gyeongju, he changed the jurisdiction of the Gyeongju Governor's Office, and if he was in charge of the affairs of the seven states according to the law, he would not be crazy.

He's not a perfunctory businessman. According to his character, if he doesn't take over the position of governor of Gyeongju, since he has taken it, he will do it as best as possible. This is his own principle.

The arrival of Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi at this time was as timely as sending charcoal in the snow.

The three of them didn't expect that Luo Tong would put down his body to greet him in person, and they were also a little excited in their hearts, and under Luo Tong's warm invitation, they walked into the Governor's Mansion together.

Sitting down to watch the tea, Luo Tong asked their names!

"Back to the general's words, in Bianzhou Liu Ren rail. He was ordered by the imperial court to serve in the Gyeongju Governor's Office. Liu Renliang replied.

Luo Tong glanced at him. really has a bit of elegant demeanor, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite with me, and don't say anything about coming by order of the court, I asked the three of you from the court." I know that there are three great talents, and I have a great responsibility, and I lack people like you, so I am here for you. Although you have great talents, you have no merits after all. I can't just promote you. In this way, I will first arrange for Mr. Liu, who has joined the army, to join the military position. Listening to it next to me, after the probationary period, I'm promoting you, do you think it's good? ”

Liu Renliang looked excited, and he didn't expect that as soon as he came, he would directly let Luo Tong be promoted and appointed. The military participation of the Governor's Mansion is much more important than his participation in the army in Xizhou.

"Tsedudu! Renliang will never disappoint the general's love! Liu Renliang thought that he was being taken so seriously, and he changed the depression in his chest, and his spirit was bright!

"Mr. Ma doesn't know if he is good at military affairs or government affairs?" After arranging Liu Renliang, Luo Tong began to understand Ma Zhou, so that he could use his talents.

Liu Renliang knew that Ma Zhou was not easy to speak, so he bowed down and said: "Governor, when it comes to talent, Brother Ma is even more above me, and in the other hand, Brother Ma is ...... in logistics and government affairs."

Luo Tong's eyes fell on Ma Zhou, and seeing that he looked mediocre, he couldn't help but say in his heart, people can't look good.

Ma Zhou is not very famous in the future, most people only know Wei Zheng but do not know Ma Zhou, but they don't know that Ma Zhou's merits and talents are compared to Wei Zheng, only passing, but not inferior.

Because of his eccentric temperament, Ma Zhou has never met talents, and he has been running around for half his life, and in order to make a living, he can only go to Zhonglang General Chang He, and he has always been a guest of Chang He, and he has always been unknown. Until a certain year, Li Shimin asked all the courtiers to write an article about the gains and losses of current politics, and he also did a self-examination and review. Chang He is a big boss, so he asked Ma Zhou to ghostwrite.

Ma Zhou chatted about a thousand words, which surprised Li Shimin, and only then did he know that there was such a great talent under his nose, so he immediately sent someone to invite Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou had an eccentric temper and directly refused to see Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was thirsty for talent, and asked Ma Zhou again and again, and then he met Ma Zhou, a genius.

And the article written by Ma Zhou not only moved Li Shimin, but also invited Ma Zhou, and even the later Taizu of this dynasty also praised it as "the first strange article after Jia Sheng's "Public Security Policy" when he read "The Biography of Ma Zhou". ”

Ma Zhou also made steady progress, and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in just a few years, and he was a very popular minister.

In addition, Ma Zhou's demeanor of not seeking fame and fortune was unique in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin is good at admonishment, and Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng are both well-known admonitions. The difference is that Wei Zheng constantly exposed Li Shimin's shortcomings, counted Li Shimin's mistakes, and recorded Li Shimin's shortcomings, fearing that the historian would not know and hand them over to the historian, so let the historian record them. After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin's attitude towards Wei Zheng was extremely bad for this reason. But Ma Zhou didn't care about this name, and before he died, he had all the recitals and admonitions burned.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Ma Zhou was comparable to the Fu of Shang and Xiao He of Han.

Ma Zhou is dressed plainly, and he has a lot of patches, and he wants to have a better time than in Chang He's house, such a talent, when he is down, it is really a rare joy.

Luo Tong laughed and said, "So good, so good." I really don't know anything about official documents, and I am lacking experts in government affairs, so I hope Mr. will help me. He knew that Ma Zhou had a strange temper, and if he said anything polite about his long-admired name, it would definitely disgust him. Although he did admire the name for a long time, it was obvious that Ma Zhou in this era did not have the slightest reputation.

Ma Zhou smiled: "The governor is quick to talk, and Zhou is willing to work for the governor." ”

Luo Tong was still thinking at first, Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, invited Ma Zhou to invite four times, he was only a governor, and he didn't know how to take him into the account, but he didn't want it to be as simple as that. Come to think of it, the current Ma Zhouhuai is not met, eating reward meals in the eaves of Changhe, how can he put up any shelf, when he is famous, if he has a shelf, let Li Shimin have a headache, use it himself.

"There is a shortage of a general record book next to me, so Mr. will take up the position of record first."

The status of the record is the same as Liu Renliang's military participation, and the status is not very high, but they are all important positions next to Luo Tong.

Ma Zhou's personality is a little eccentric, and he is also cold-eyed because of it, and he is rarely recognized except for a few friends. Although he is eloquent, he has been doing nothing, but he is regarded as a mediocre thorn Shi Da and scolded the dog's bloody head, and after that, he lives under the people, needless to say that he is depressed in his chest. Luo Tong treated him like this, his heart was moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou will never live up to the high expectations of the governor. ”

The ancients rarely called themselves by their full names, and only when their emotions reached a certain limit would they call themselves by their full names.

"Mr. Shangguan, do you know why I arranged for you in the end?" Luo Tong asked with a smile.

The three of them were all stunned, Changguanyi thought about it, and said a little unconvinced: "Could it be that the governor still let me go to Guanyi?" ”

Luo Tong nodded and smiled: "When the lanterns were placed by the Weishui in the middle of the night, a group of national eunuchs made me scared away, only Mr. performed well, I kept it in my heart, and only after inquiring did I know the name of Mr. We can also be regarded as old friends, and it is the first time we have met Mr. Liu and Mr. Ma, so we put Mr. at the end, don't mind? ”

Shangguan Yi said excitedly: "I didn't expect the governor to remember that you Shao... I can't thank you enough..."

On the night of Zhongyuan Night, Zheng Liwan was accosted and furious, Luo Tong turned over the advice and said that the legs and stomachs of the students of the National Prison were weak, only Shangguanyi performed well, neither humble nor arrogant, Luo Tong had an impression of him, as for what inquired about it was a lie, it can only be said to be a coincidence. After asking, I learned that Shangguanyi was also good at government affairs, and finally arranged a position for him to be a recorder.
