Chapter 176: Unifying Thoughts

"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Ma. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you are really unlucky, born in the same year, and at the same time took the imperial examination, but at the same time missed the time to register, it can be said that you met the right friend at the wrong time, there must be gains, life is rare to have a confidant, but also in the dark to the two of you compensation! ”

Qin Feng said with a laugh.

Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou thought about it the same way, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's rare to have a confidant in life, that's a good point! The general's exit is a chapter, and it contains the truth of life, which is worthy of the name of the times. Liu Renliang was amazed.

"Nothing, all false. Poetry and songs are also small paths, which can neither be eaten nor used, let alone enrich the people and strengthen the army, they are just fun in life, and they are of little use. ”

Ma Zhou sighed with emotion: "In the world, only a general dares to speak like this." ”

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang are from the same poor family, and their situation is even worse than Liu Renliang, although Liu Renliang was born in a common people's family, he can at least manage food and clothing. And Ma Zhou was not only born poor, but also his parents died when he was young, and he was lonely, doing short-term work alone, pulling himself to grow up. In addition to making a living, he is very studious, and before he is twenty years old, he is full of wealth and wealth, and he has the talent to help the world.

But because he was born poor, he suffered all kinds of cold eyes, which made his personality and temper extremely eccentric, even if he was full of wealth, the people around him looked down on him, and he has been doing nothing. It wasn't until after Liwei that Ma Zhou got the opportunity to become a priest in a neighboring county. Just like Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Zhou felt that he had the talent to help the world, but he was a small official with a knife and a pen, and he was very unhappy, and he took pleasure in drinking all day long, and did not do business.

Such a style was scolded by his boss, Ma Zhou was angry, abandoned the official and left, traveled all over the world, and met Liu Renliang in Chang'an. They sympathize with each other, they are all frustrated people, they talk to each other about wine, pour bitter water, and take them as confidants.

After getting along, Liu Renliang had already discovered that Ma Zhou's political involvement was slightly above him, and he was a figure comparable to Fu Shuo, Guan Zhong, and Xiao He. It is really sighing that such a talent has ended up in such a situation.

"Brother Ma, to put it mildly, I am lonely and unheard, I have never heard of Mr. Daming, if you say anything like Jiuyang, it is perfunctory, and it is also disrespectful to you, I Qin Feng disdain it. However, what Brother Liu said must be wrong. Our Tiger Army is an army of dolls! You have to fight a war, but in terms of official documents, it adds up to nothing. We are short of government experts, and I hope Brother Ma can help me. ”

Ma Zhou laughed and said: "The general is really fast, Zhou is willing to serve the general." Qin Feng's words, when it comes to his heart, he is a person who does practical things, he does not have the cells of the wind and snow, and he does not have so many flowers and intestines, Qin Feng did not use his achievements in poetry to talk about things, but criticized the way of poetry, so that Ma Zhou had a sense of confidant, Qin Feng said this, it can be seen that he is also a person who does practical things, and this is exactly the boss he needs.

Before his debut, Ma Zhou in history suffered from his character, which made him always have a talent, and he ran around for half his life, living a life full of hunger, and in the end, forced to make a living, he had to go to Zhonglang General Chang He, but 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. 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 does not seek fame and fortune, and has become a dazzling landscape in the Zhenguan Dynasty, which has many famous ministers.

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, slapped Li Shimin in the face, and not only that, but also recorded many of Li Shimin's mistakes, afraid that the historian would not know and hand them over to the historian and let the historian record them. Many times forced Li Shimin to scold his mother, and shouted in front of Empress Changsun many times to kill Wei Zheng. After Wei Zheng's death, because there was no one like Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's attitude towards the dead Wei Zheng was extremely bad.

Wei Zheng stepped on Li Shimin's dignity and went down in history, and he was suspected of doing whatever it took to become famous. But Ma Zhou, who is also a minister, didn't care about this name, and before he died, he asked people to burn all the chapters and admonitions.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Ma Zhou was comparable to the Fu of Shang and Xiao He of Han. Such a talented and virtuous person, when he is down, Qin Feng will naturally not let go.

"I happen to be missing a record of the general record book next to me, can you give in to any of the records for the time being?"

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

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 Shi Shu scolded the dog's bloody head, needless to say that he is depressed in his chest. Qin Feng was born noble, and he is also a famous person in the world, so he does not have the slightest arrogant posture, his truth and honesty moved Ma Zhou's heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou will never live up to the high expectations of the general." ”

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.

After accepting Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou, Qin Feng was so happy that he almost jumped, this time, he finally didn't have to deal with the government affairs and logistics matters of Rushan, and Su Lie and Zhang Shigui could also be their simple generals with peace of mind, this was definitely a great joy to kill three birds with one stone.

"I really have to thank Anbei Jintu for this little devil. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met two of them. At this moment, Qin Feng sincerely thanked the little devil who let him blast out of the gate, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have entered the palace; If you don't enter the palace, you will miss the two talents, "I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have treated him so badly." ”

Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou only heard it in a fog, but they knew that they were lucky to meet Qin Feng and be reused by him, which was definitely related to the person who set up a monument and what Jin Tu.

"General, forgive your subordinates for talking too much, this Anbei Jintu doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains, right?" Liu Renliang asked, he is a sincere gentleman, and he feels that if he achieves something in the future, he has to thank others.

"Anbei Jintu is a native of the Japanese country, that guy is short, ugly, and dark, just like the legendary ghosts, and I call him a little devil."

Qin Feng sneered: "This little devil has a lot of ambitions!" ”

Ma Zhou hurriedly asked.

Qin Feng didn't hide it, so he told everything that Anbei Jintu asked for.

Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou looked solemn, they were first-class talents, and they naturally knew the importance of science and technology to the empire.

Ma Zhou couldn't sit still, and said in a deep voice: "General, smelting, refining, medicine, farming, breeding, and horse training...... The art is the crystallization of my Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it is also the root of superiority over other races, and it must not fall into the hands of any foreign race, including the Wa Kingdom. The subordinates suggested that they should immediately suggest to His Majesty that the various skills should be kept secret and cherished, and they must not be shown. ”

Qin Feng had the heart of a confidant, and said with a smile: "Smelting and refining weapons can make our weapons beneficial to others, and our armor is stronger than others; Medicine makes us physically stronger and live longer than others; Farming and feeding make the people rich to others...... These unique skills are definitely more than worth the loss, as early as half a year ago, I have already told Your Majesty. Nowadays, the imperial court has strict control over the arts. Brother Ma, please relax. ”

Ma Zhou said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, the general is far-sighted, and his subordinates are too worried. Ma Zhou is upright, does not admit defeat easily, and does not boast, but he says this in the same heart.

"No, no, no!" Qin Feng said: "When this resolution was implemented that day, His Majesty endured a lot of resistance, and it took two days of direct discussion before it was unanimously passed. Snorted coldly, he continued: "Those rotten Confucians said that the Celestial Empire should have the demeanor of the Celestial Empire, and they should educate all the races in the world, and finally realize the great harmony of the world. I was so angry that I almost became an assassin. ”

Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou were shocked, they never imagined that the courteous Qin Feng would have such an idea, but this attitude of not caring about personal gains and losses for the world was appreciated by them.

Ma Zhou snorted coldly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it will learn advanced skills, and in the end, the long knife is not pointing at the so-called Celestial Empire?" Same people, I don't know what those bastards think. Literature and art can be shared, but can the important weapons of the country be shared? Those rotten meetings, not enough to succeed and more than to lose. ”

"Absolutely." Liu Renliang said: "When I traveled to Dengzhou, I saw a group of little devils, because I had not come into contact with them, so I observed them closely, and I found that these people have an amazing will, as well as the stubbornness that will not give up until the goal is achieved, and the viciousness of a poisonous snake. They have their eyes on the art of the Empire, and they are outwardly powerless, and I fear that they will secretly use shady means to achieve their ends. ”

"You're right, the little devils have such a temperament, they worship the strong and despise the weak just like the Turks, but they are a hundred times more ruthless than the Turks, just because the Japanese are not only cruel to others, but also to their loved ones. Due to the long-term shortage of food in the Japanese country, an unwritten rule was formed: when the old man reached the age of 60 or lost his first tooth, he was regarded as a burden by them, and his son carried him to the mountain and let him destroy himself. (Note: The movie "Narayama Festival Examination)"

Liu Renliang and Ma Zhou only heard that their scalps were frivolous and their hearts were cold, they never dreamed that there would be such a cruel nation in this world.

Qin Feng's words had a great impact on the minds of the two of them, both of them were filial people, and their dislike for little devils suddenly rose to the extreme.

"Beasts are not as good as beasts!"

"There should be no such people in the world."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang said one after another, they didn't suspect Qin Feng, because this kind of thing can be known as soon as you check it, and Qin Feng won't lie!

"The Japanese people have been involved in the Central Plains since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and the number of people is increasing year by year, and the gold they bring is also increasing year by year, but they have very little to offer to the imperial court? So, where are they spending this money? I suspect that there are two uses, to bribe some unscrupulous officials; Second, buy off the ruffians and establish an agency dedicated to collecting imperial secrets. ”

"It's possible!" Ma Zhoudao.

Qin Feng said: "Therefore, I entered the palace this morning and asked His Majesty for a holy decree to find these tumors, whether it is a first-class official position or an ordinary person, but anyone who betrays the interests of the country will die!" ”

"Do your best to serve your country!"

"Do your best to serve your country!" (To be continued.) )
