Chapter 10 The Inn's Words

Li Rong and others walked along the official road, came to Baling County at dusk, lived in the Zishui Station, a special post station set up by the imperial court, and showed the passing official certificate, the post man took the horses and sent them into the stable to feed, several people came to the front hall to eat, Li Rong's two servants Ge Fushun, and Li Shi ate in the wing room.

"If there is any inconvenience after Zhenghai returns to his hometown, he can go to Beijing and ask for an official position for you." Li Rong said with a smile.

Luo Zhenghai is proficient in the art of financial planning, which he learned from his father who was a small official since he was a child, and after entering the Guozijian, he can quietly study arithmetic and law, coupled with being meticulous and cautious, he seems to be mediocre but is a rare talent in governance.

"I got a letter from my father before, and he seems to be in trouble, so I want to go back to my hometown to visit his old man first." Luo Zhenghai sighed.

It would be nice if he could get to be an official, and the students of Guozijian could become officials directly after graduation, but Luo Zhenghai was not from a wealthy family, so he couldn't get such an opportunity, and he didn't want to work Li Rong to come forward.

"Then I'll wait for Zhenghai good news in Luoyang." Li Rong said.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Zhenghai followed me." Li Kaigu said.

Luo Zhenghai's talent has won the recognition of the two, and he is definitely a first-class talent, which can be compared to Xiao He's character, this kind of person can be used, and the prosperity of the Khitan people is not a dream.

"My Tang Dynasty is in its heyday, and Emperor Taizong has laid a deep foundation for our dynasty, which is unprecedented, and the foreign tribes have no chance to rise like the Turks at the end of the Sui Dynasty within a hundred years." Li Rong said.

"Yuan and Ming, the Tang Dynasty is certainly prosperous, and all the tribes outside the Saiwai are full of heroes. Not to mention, one of the three great masters outside the light plug, the wolf god Ashina Mosi, is eloquent, brave and good at fighting, and has excellent martial arts, which is enough to be compared with the previous Ili Khan, and the Turks regard it as the future overlord, and the current Great Khan is very jealous of it, but he is also helpless against him. My master has a lot of respect for him. Li Kaigu said.

"If the time comes, no matter how brave he is, it is difficult for him to have the power to return to heaven, he can only be born at the wrong time, and he can't reverse the general trend of the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, having said that, the Turkic strength is not a good thing for the Khitan." Li Rong said with a smile.

"It is precisely because he is the great enemy of the Khitan that we know him deeply, and he is indeed an extremely terrifying figure, whether it is for our clan or the Tang Dynasty." Li Kaigu said.

"The three great masters of the Saiwai Turkic "wolf god" Ashina Mo sip, the Silla "god of wisdom" Jin Yuxin, and the Tibetan "god of war" on the Qinling, that one is a world-famous figure, and it should also be the object of my generation's challenge. Li Ronghao said.

This third great master is the top master among the races outside the Saiwai, compared with the people in the heavenly list, it is not inferior, or even more terrifying, they themselves are still the overlords of one side, and the masters under them are like clouds, it is difficult for ordinary people to even meet them, let alone defeat them.

The "God of Wisdom" Kim Yushin was extremely intelligent and visionary, and it was his combination of vertical and horizontal that made Silla stand out on the peninsula, and with the help of the power of the Tang Dynasty, he defeated the powerful Goryeo, Baekje and Fusang armies, and unified the peninsula. Not to mention Qinling, in the face of the Tang Army, he won a hundred battles, and many famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui, Liu Renliang, Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide, and Hei Yan Chang were defeated one by one, and they could only hold the west, unable to advance an inch, which can be described as the biggest nightmare of the dynasty.

"You're ambitious, but you're still far from it." Li Kaigu said with a smile, "Not even a seven-rank captain." ”

"Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, and no one is born a master." Li Rong laughed.

"No matter how I look at it, I can't catch up with their hopes." Li Kaigu sighed. He is a little self-aware, whether the three great masters are standing at the peak of martial arts in their own martial arts cultivation, or the forces they control have the power of a country, Li Kaigu himself is just one of the many heirs of the middle nation, and he is only a small martial artist with less than six grades.

"Kai Gu is too modest, the three great grandmasters are not perfect, and they don't have any weaknesses." Li Rong said.

"What weakness?" Li Kaigu asked.

"On Qinling, the minister is strong and the lord is weak, and it is inevitable that the merit will be high and the lord will be shocked, and the end is unpredictable. Mo Si was born at the wrong time, the Turkic people's hearts have been scattered, it is difficult to reproduce the glory of the past, no matter how hard he tries, it is just the sunset, sooner or later he will be counterattacked, and his body will be wiped out. As for Jin Yuxin trapped in a corner of the peninsula, there is nothing to worry about. Li Rong said.

In real history, the ending of the three is really like this. On the Qin Ling Gong Gao Zhen Lord was killed by Tubo Zanpu, silently sobbing the poor army for decades, and finally died at the end of the road, Jin Yuxin died of old age and Silla.

Luo Zhenghai next to him was silent, quietly listening to the two of them.

"The little brother has an extraordinary insight, which is really unique and thought-provoking." An old man sitting at the table next to the three of them in the hall stood up and said to Li Rong, "In Xia Di Renjie, I don't know the name of the little brother?" ”

"Are you Di Renjie?" Li Rong hurriedly stood up and said.

He is not unfamiliar with Di Renjie's name, the old name of Di Ge in the previous life is like thunder, anyone who studies Tang history will not forget it, and Li Rong, the name of Di Renjie in this life, has also heard of it.

"Under Li Rong, this is my classmate Li Kaigu, Luo Zhenghai," Li Rong continued, "This is Di Renjie Di Gong, who once served as Dali Qing. ”

Li Kaigu and Luo Zhenghai hurriedly stood up and saluted. They are good friends with Li Rong, and they know that Li Rong has always been arrogant and disdainful of most officials in the DPRK and China, and what can make him respect is definitely not an ordinary figure.

Those who can live in the post station are all court officials or nobles, and they must have a seal letter and document plate issued by the court. Li Rong's father was a member of the three grades of the dynasty, one of the six Shangshu, and was once the general of Jin Wuwei, one of the most powerful people in the court. Of course, he didn't deliberately take advantage of the imperial court, but there was no better inn than a post station nearby.

"Li Rong? You are the only son of Li Hui and Li Shangshu. Di Renjie blurted out.

"My father is Li Hui." Li Rong said. His father, Li Hui, spoke highly of Di Renjie and once mentioned his name to Li Rong.

"It turned out to be the son of the old man, it is really a tiger father without a dog, Li Shangshu has a son like this, what more can the husband ask for?" Di Renjie said.

"Di Gong, please take a seat." Li Rong respectfully relinquished Di Renjie to the main seat. Di Renjie sat down with a relaxed expression.

With Di Renjie joining, the atmosphere became lively for a while. Di Renjie is quite talkative, likes to promote juniors, and has no discrimination against foreigners, which makes Li Kaigu very comfortable. Ordinary high-ranking officials of the imperial court have always looked down on the tribes outside the Saiwai, and they regard them as barbarians, and they don't have much respect in their hearts, Di Renjie is not such a person.

"Di Gong!" A person came in the front hall, walked towards Di Renjie, and said loudly.

Li Rong and Li Kaigu looked shocked at the same time, and their eyes were fixed on the comer.

I saw that this person was dressed in a dark color suit, with a long knife hanging from his waist, and it turned out to be Di Renjie's loyal servant Di Chun.

"This is Di Chun, who has been following me." Di Renjie introduced to everyone.

Li Rong and Li Kaigu hurriedly bowed their hands.

"Li Rong, the only son of Li Huishangshu, Li Kaigu, the son of Li Duzhong, the chief of the Khitan tribe, and Luo Yuhai, the son of the country." Di Renjie said.

In the conversation just now, Di Renjie knew the identities of Li Kaigu and Luo Zhenghai.

Defoe smiled and saluted everyone in return.

Everyone sat together and talked, Li Rong's vision, Li Kaigu's understanding of the tribes outside the Saiwai, and Luo Zhenghai's financial ability all left a deep impression on Di Renjie. Of course, Di Renjie's conversation and knowledge still made Li Rong and the others amazed, knowing that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary official. Di Fu didn't have many words, but every sentence went straight to the point, and he was by no means just a martial artist.

"Di Gong, the three sons are all talented people, and they are also rare among young people in this generation." Defoe said. After eating, everyone returned to their residences, and Di Fu followed Di Renjie to the wing where he was.

"Li Kaigu and Li Rong are beyond our control, but Luo Zhenghai doesn't seem to be amazing, but he is proficient in financial planning, but unfortunately his family is shallow and no one supports him, so he can't be directly appointed by the prisoner." Di Renjie sighed, "It is not advisable for the imperial court to take scholars and emphasize poetry, and ignore scriptures and righteousness and law." ”

"Since he has good talents, Di Gong can give him a favor or two, and get a good man for the court," Di Fu said with a smile.

Di Renjie smiled and nodded.

"But this time I entered Beijing, I don't know what happened to the queen of heaven calling Di Gong?" Defoe asked. He wanted to ask along the way, but Di Renjie didn't say anything, so he didn't speak, "Now Dali Temple is occupied by Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others, and it is a miasma, and it has become a hell on earth." ”

"The queen of heaven will not let me return to my old position, I think there is another appointment," Di Renjie said. The mood turned from joy to worry, "If these people are appointed after today to eradicate dissidents and pave the way for the future, it is inevitable that there will be a bloody storm." ”

"That adult enters Beijing at this time and steps into the whirlpool of right and wrong, and the consequences may be unpredictable." Defoe said.

Di Fu is not a novice in politics, he has been mixed in officialdom with Di Renjie for more than ten years, and he is already quite familiar with the deeds of officialdom.

"Whether it is the trust of the emperor or the well-being of the people, I am not allowed to stand aside and watch the excitement," Di Renjie said solemnly, "This time I will enter Beijing, I will do my best to persuade the queen of heaven to reduce the killing and think more about the people." ”
