Chapter Forty-Eight

"Du Ruhui?" Li Xin was about to sit down, and when he heard the name, he suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, and he looked at Du Ruhui. He didn't know who Du Keming was, but he knew who Du Ruhui was. That is a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, even Li Xin remembers that in history, there was a saying that "Fang Mou Du Xuan" was broken, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually Du Ruhui, who was as famous as Fang Xuanling.

"Does the general know the students?" Du Ruhui was also curious.

"Mr. Daming, Li Xin naturally knows." Li Xin lowered his attitude again and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. here, it's really a blessing for three lives, sir, please take a seat." ”

"The general's young man is ambitious, and it stands to reason that he should be happy, but the student just watched the general upstairs frowning, why is this? Could it be that he thinks that the emperor's canonized official position is not high? Du Ruhui asked curiously.

"Naturally this is not the case, Emperor Longen, Li Xin was originally just a small grass people, but now he is the commander of the capital, how can he still be dissatisfied?" Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is there a thing for men and women? Keming heard that the general had a very good relationship with Li Sanniang, the daughter of Tang Guogong? Could it be that Tang Guogong disagreed with the general's matter? Du Ruyan said with a little meaning.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home?" Li Xin moved, secretly surprised by Du Ruhui's eyes, thought about it, and felt natural, if Du Ruhui was not like this, how could he be praised by the people of the world?

"The so-called exchange is shallow and deep, and it is normal for the general not to say it." Du Ruhui glanced at Li Xin, then looked at the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Although the general is from the Li family of Zhao County, he is a concubine of the side family, Tang Guogong attaches the most importance to this, how can he agree to the general's affairs?" What's more, the general is majestic, the Chai family is the richest man in the world, with countless family properties, brave people, I don't know how many there are in the world, but the first richest man in the world is only the Chai family, what does the general think? ”

"The gentleman laughed." Li Xin sighed for a while, his face suddenly didn't look good, if it was placed on weekdays, Li Xin didn't feel it much, but now it is different, what he wants is to break into the Li family, when Li Yuan raises troops in the future, he can get more benefits, although following Li Shimin, he can also be famous through the ages, in comparison, the danger is much higher.

However, Du Ruhui's words pierced Li Xin's heart like a thorn, and he suddenly thought of Li Yuan's distrust, as well as the coldness in Li Yuan's eyes, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"Sir is a rare wise man in the world, why do you want to say these words to Li Xin today?" Li Xin stared at Du Ruhui deadly, not knowing why Du Ruhui said these words to himself.

"The general is a hero of the world, and he has contributed to the world, Keming just doesn't want the general to have any dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally harm others and himself." Du Ruhui sighed slightly: "Today, if you want to get ahead, you must either be a family and help yourself grow with the power of the family; Or is it to take refuge in the family, help others and help others at the same time, just like the general, the third is to rely on the imperial power, among the three, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, I don't know if the general can know his current advantages and disadvantages? ”

"Sir, please." Li Xin originally just thought about taking refuge in Li Shimin, and he lived a very easy life, but now looking at Du Ruhui's appearance, he had a trace of curiosity in his heart, wanting to hear how Du Ruhui looked at the situation in front of him.

"Let's talk about the first situation first, among the family, although it occupies an absolute advantage, but at the moment the emperor is extremely protective of the family, otherwise, there will be no general's defeat of the captain; I don't know in the future, but right now, if the general is from a family, he will definitely be killed by the emperor for a reason. Du Ruhan smiled and analyzed.

"And what about the second one?" Li Xin was even more curious.

"The second one? There are good and bad families, the generals are brave, and they will be reused when they enter any family, but they are not people in the family, and they can be used but cannot be trusted. That's how it was with generals. He will also fall into various struggles within the family, and life and death are up to him. Du Ruhui analyzed: "The general wants to marry Li Sanniang, this idea is good, but how could the family marry the general?" The concubine can only be a marriage between the family, and even if the general is dissatisfied, there is no way. ”

"What about the third party?" Li Xin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked again.

"Relying on the imperial power, it is natural to be able to soar, especially the general now, isn't it relying on the imperial power?" Du Ruhan explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty?" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Xin's mouth, and he said: "Mr. is resourceful and has the world in mind, why don't you go out of the Great Sui?" ”

"How does the general know that a student has not been recruited?" Du Ruhui took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I used to be the captain of Puyang. However, he later resigned. ”

"I see." Li Xin's eyes lit up and said, "Why did Mr. resign?" ”

"Why would the general rather enter the Tang State Mansion than assist His Majesty?" Du Ruhui said with a smile.

Li Xin's face moved when he heard this, stared at Du Ruhui for a while, and then said: "Mr. is very intelligent, I don't know why he treats Li Xin like this, Li Xin asked himself if he has not seen Mr., Mr. came here today, I am afraid that he has been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Du Ruhui nodded with a wry smile, shook his head and said: "It is said that the general is brave, like the reincarnation of an overlord, but in the next opinion, the general is not only heroic, he has the courage of an overlord, he has the ability of Han Xin, and he has something that neither of them has." As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was sent by someone else, but, general, who is the person behind me, it's better not to ask, but the general's current situation, can the general know? ”

Li Xin looked at Du Ruhui deeply, sat there quietly, did not speak, but fell into contemplation, and Du Ruhui did not speak, quietly waiting for Li Xin's choice.

"Please give it a try, sir." Finally, Li Xin decided to listen to what Du Ruhui, a wise man through the ages, could say, and he could help him solve the matter in front of him.

"Dare to ask the general's ambition?" Du Ruhui suddenly asked.

"Assist the Ming Lord and revitalize the Great Sui." Li Xin's eyes rolled, and he said without thinking.

Du Ruhui's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm, a hint of contempt, and said: "That general will die!" ”

Li Xin's face changed, and he said nervously: "What about the second one?" ”

"The general will die." Du Ruhui said without thinking.

"Then Li Xin has no way out." Li Xin smiled bitterly. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Li Xin really doesn't know what to do?

"If the general is a mediocre person, no matter which way is the most, it is okay to enter the family, even if he can't be rich and noble in the future, he can enjoy peace, if he enters the officialdom and assists the Holy Son of Heaven, if he is in a peaceful and prosperous world, maybe he can, but now? But the general could not enjoy peace and wealth in peace. Du Ruhui said seriously.

"Then according to Mr., what should Li Xin do?" Li Xin asked curiously. was shocked in his heart, at least Du Ruhui had seen that this was a troubled time, and the life and death of mediocre people were in the hands of others.

"The emperor's eastern expedition to Goguryeo is imminent, this is the general's opportunity, the general only has his own development and growth, and he will have a chance in the future, otherwise, sooner or later, he will end up with a high achievement, and the general still has a life to speak of?" Du Ruhan said with a smile: "A general can become a fierce general and a general, but he can't be rich, but there are too many ways for a general to make money, no matter who will not tolerate a general with a lot of money." General, what do you see? ”

"How is the Ming Lord?" Li Xin asked again. He remembered that the generals under Li Shimin's command were basically able to spend their old age, and after getting rid of people like Hou Junji, Li Xin thought that he would not rebel, and people like Li Shimin would not kill him.

"The Ming Lord will not tolerate people like the general to exist." Du Ruhui said resolutely.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Li Xin was silent again for a long time, but he didn't speak, and only after a long time did he stand up, nodded, arched his hand towards Du Ruhui, walked out of the restaurant, went to the jade night to shine on the lion, and disappeared into the crowd.
