Chapter 679

After the prime minister appointed Li Zhen as the new general of the dynasty, Zhou Yuan kept Li Zhen behind, and then asked him about some details of the dynasty.

Li Zhen is worthy of being the commander of the Praetorian Guard, not only knows a lot about the affairs in the palace, but also knows a lot about the situation of those officials.

At the moment, after half a day of understanding, Zhou Yuan also basically understood the details of some officials.

Among them, a civil official named Gao Tiannan fell into Zhou Yuan's eyes.

This civil official was originally just a small five-grade prefect, but he was a very special person, in terms of literary talent, it is said that even the former prime minister was inferior to him, and he also had unique views on governing the country and improving people's livelihood.

It's just that he has never met a talent, Daqian is cronyism for important positions, only Daqian's own family can go to a high position, even if Gao Tiannan's talent is outstanding, it is useless, he can still only be a prefect.

At the beginning, Gao Tiancai was still unconvinced by this tone, and would always play some of his own opinions, but no matter how incisive his opinions were, but at the end of the day, they were all lost in the sea and there was no news.

Over time, Gao Tiannan also despaired.

"In the afternoon, you call Gao Tiannan for me, I want to see him. Zhou Yuan said to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't know, although this Gao Tiannan is talented, but he is a person who is talented and arrogant, since he broke off his motivated heart, he has not had much contact with other high-ranking officials, even if the prime minister wants to see him, he will not see him, however, the prime minister will not treat him well, because the prime minister's views sometimes draw on Gao Tiannan's previous views, but the prime minister has always refused to admit it." ”

"Oh, and such a thing? That's weird, and it's okay, then I'll go and see him for myself, and see what kind of character he is, if he's really that talented, and if it's just a weird personality, there's nothing to use. ”

After that, Zhou Yuan stood up, "Let's go, take me to Gao Tiannan's house." ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Don't you have to go after eating?"

"No, now that the dynasty has just been established, I need to do my business, I don't have time to spend any more, let's go now......"

Zhou Yuan spoke, Li Zhen naturally couldn't refuse, he immediately brought a few people to lead the way in front.

Fortunately, Gao Tiannan's home is not far from here, in another city.

Soon, Zhou Yuan and Li Zhen came to another city, Qingzhou City.

This is where Gao Tiannan works.

"Your Majesty, this Gao Tiannan's rules are very big, no matter who it is, they must be carefully interrogated when they enter the city, and when the time comes, don't be angry. Li Zhen said with some concern.

"Strict governance, this is an advantage, I won't blame him, on the contrary, I will appreciate him, Li Zhen, if the person you are talking about is really as good as you say, then the candidate for this prime minister will be settled. By the way, you recommend Gao Tiannan so much, I want to ask one day, what is your relationship with him? Are you a friend?" Zhou Yuan said with some doubts, he could feel that Li Zhen highly admired this Gao Tiannan, and was obviously very optimistic about him, without a deep friendship, such a situation would not occur.

Li Zhen was stunned, and cold sweat came down from his forehead.

He knew what Zhou Yuan meant, Zhou Yuan was testing his intentions, if Gao Tiannan was really friends with him, and the two or personal friends were very good, then, if Gao Tiannan was made the prime minister, the two of them, a prime minister, a general, a combination of civil and military, may indeed have an impact on the imperial power, this is a taboo for the royal family, and when the time comes, he and Gao Tiannan will be a dead end.

Li Zhen hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not, Gao Tiannan and I are not only not friends, but also have some festivals. ”

Zhou Yuan was a little strange and said, "You are a martial artist, what kind of festival will you have with him, a literati?"

Li Zhen said while leading the way, "In the early years, Gao Tiannan once wrote a book on the Qianpan, saying that the literary style of this dynasty was insufficient, the martial style was too prosperous, and even the prime minister was the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and because of cultivation, it was very important to study, so he had no achievements in governing the country, although the great cadres seemed to be calm, but that was all based on the absolute power of the great cadres, and the strength of the cadres was too strong, and the strength of the cadres was suppressed at the first time, and they would not be given a chance at all. However, if this continues, the whole cadres will perish as soon as possible, because the ** has begun to transfer, and it is no longer on the cadres. ”

"Therefore, he thinks that a little cultivation is beneficial, but it should not let the officials of the entire empire focus on the aspect of force, just because of his point of view, I once said him, but he was criticized, Your Majesty should know that I am a civil official, and my eloquence is naturally inferior to him, and I was counted down by him and lost some face. ”

Zhou Yuan Ha Ha Da Lu smiled, " I see, yes, Gao Tiannan is indeed a talent, although it is said that force can subdue everything, but, his point of view is right, force can never subdue people's hearts, and things that are suppressed by force and spells, one day, there will be a time to raise their heads, this point, he is not wrong, however, the person I admire more is you, Li, I didn't expect that as a martial artist, a mage, your mind would be so open-minded, and you can actually nominate people who have had a holiday with you to serve in an official position at the same level as you, and you are not afraid that the other party will make trouble for you in the future？”

Li Zhen shook his head, "This, I am naturally not afraid, in my opinion, His Majesty is different from Qianpan, or even any royal family of Daqian, I can't see any desire for power in His Majesty's eyes, but I see a big ambition, a grand desire and bearing." ”

Zhou Yuan was puzzled, "Oh, can you see through my mind? Tell me, what do you see in me, what do I think? I have no desire for power, so what do I have?"

Li Zhen said seriously, "From His Majesty's eyes, I see that His Majesty has a wish, that is, I hope that the entire human world will become a peaceful and prosperous world, and that it will be rich and strong forever. ”

Zhou Yuan laughed, this Li Zhen, he really didn't read it wrong, he is indeed a great talent, although he is a military attaché, but his talent is no worse than that of ordinary civil officials.

Soon, Li Zhen's footsteps stopped, "Your Majesty, we have arrived, this is Gao Tiannan's home, let me report it." ”

"You are the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the official is older than him, and you have to report when you see him?" Zhou Yuan said with some puzzlement.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly, "What's this, this is sometimes the prime minister summons him unsuccessfully, come to see him in person, and he has to report it, he is this stinky temper, saying that he does things according to the rules and does not give anyone face." ”

Zhou Yuan nodded, and his heart said that this Gao Tiannan's shelf was also too big.

Soon, Li Zhen came to the guards, "Several, please report it, even if Li Zhen, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, asks to see the Kozhi Mansion." ”

The guard sneered, "The Great Cadres are all finished, where is there still the commander of the Praetorian Guard? As our lord said, no one will be seen, as long as the new dynasty is not established, no one will be seen." ”

Li Zhendao, "The new Great Zhou Dynasty has been established, and I am now the new imperial general, and I have come to see the Kochi Mansion on the order of His Majesty, the King of the Great Zhou, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to pass it on." ”

The guard looked surprised and said, "The new empire has been established, how can we not know the way?" Okay, in that case, then we will just pass it on to you, but we have no way to guess if we see it or not. ”

Zhou Yuan, Li Zhen, and the others waited for a long time for a pillar of incense before the guard came slowly.

"I'm sorry, Commander Li, our lord said that he was sick and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so please go back!!" The guard said with a cold face.

"No, I must see Master Gao today!!" Li Zhen is really angry, he usually eats closed-door soup, even if he eats closed-door soup, Zhou Yuan is also here today, if he really can't see Gao Tiannan, he is afraid that Zhou Yuan will be angry.

The guard saw Li Zhen's appearance and reprimanded angrily, "Lord Li, the temper of our tall adult, I think you understand, if he doesn't see it, he won't see it, and it's useless for anyone to come." You, the prime minister, have not yet officially taken office, even if you are the former prime minister, you want to see our family and ask him about something, you have to be polite, see or not, or our adults have the final say, please go back......"

Before Li Zhen could say anything, Zhou Yuan suddenly took a step forward and appeared in front of the guards, "You just tell your lords, just say that Zhou Yuan wants to see him, and he will definitely see us." ”

The guard was stunned, "Zhou Yuan, why is this name so familiar...... Okay, I'll report it again, if this time, the adults don't see you, then there is no way, so I have to ask you back. ”

Soon, the guards went to find Gao Tiannan, Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for Gao Tiannan's arrival, he wanted to believe that Gao Tiannan would definitely see him.

Sure enough, soon from Gao Tiannan's mansion, there was a rush of footsteps.

A middle-aged man, leading the guard just now, soon came to Zhou Yuan's face.

Then after seeing Zhou Yuan, he immediately knelt on the ground, "It turned out that the king of people had arrived, and he was disappointed in the distance, capital crime, capital crime, capital crime!!!

Zhou Yuan guessed well, Gao Tiannan really knew who he was.

"Do you know me?" Zhou Yuan asked in a cold voice.

"Of course I know below, when the adults destroyed the health palace, I was not far away, and I was fortunate enough to see the dignity of the adults, so it was rude to be able to recognize that I didn't meet Master Li Zhen just now. Gao Tiannan said with some trepidation.

He hadn't dealt with Zhou Yuan, and he didn't know Zhou Yuan yet, so he was afraid that Zhou Yuan would really get angry, and with Zhou Yuan's strength, even if there was more Gao Tiannan, he would only die.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Get up, literati must have the integrity of a literati, don't always kneel." ”

Gao Tiannan responded, and immediately stood up, "Please follow me to the mansion to rest, please forgive me for the neglect!!"

Zhou Yuan nodded, and a few of them quickly entered Gao Tiannan's mansion.
