Xizhou is a very small prefecture and county. Although Xizhou joins the army, it is called joining the army, and what it does is limited.

As the name suggests, joining the army is a military staff officer, which is a tangled position. His status can be big or small, which depends on who the individual serves. If Li Shimin joins the army, his status will naturally rise and even local officials will have to obey orders. If he joins the army in a small place, he will be inferior to a village chief and county magistrate. The Xizhou army that Liu Rengui is responsible for belonging to the latter.

Xizhou is one of the smallest prefectures in the Tang Dynasty. There is no military station under its jurisdiction. Xizhou is also peaceful and there is no threat of thieves. Even if Xizhou joins the army, it is almost like a person who is indifferent to the affairs.

Liu Rengui was not very satisfied with his work, and he was not satisfied with his superiors. The key is his ability rejection. However, Liu Rengui had great talent, so he let him mingle with a group of people with poor abilities in a small place. When working together, he would inevitably be like a white swan in a duck, gold in the mud, and shine. People around him were either jealous or did not understand, and there would be a certain gap.

Liu Rengui was arrogant and arrogant, so he would not explain anything because of this. The gap was getting deeper and deeper.

"Liu Shenjun..." A fat fat man with a big belly and a fat man with a newly arrived official document came to Liu Rengui's office. Seeing that Liu Rengui was leisurely reading a book, and a pot of tea was boiling beside him, he didn't get angry: "It's so leisurely, the whole government office is the most free to join the army, right?" He cursed in his heart: "It's ungrateful things!"

His name is Qian Shu, and he should not behave like a person. Although Qian Shu has a big head and ears and is as fat as a pig, he was born as a Jinshi. Although he was the last one, he was also a Jinshi. Because of this Jinshi, he arranged for him to be the magistrate of Xizhou.

Qian Shu thought of himself very high, thinking that the Xizhou County Magistrate was just a pedal, and he wanted to continue climbing up, and he was the last minister. In just a flash, there was no news of promotion. He also began to find connections and do some official habits to curry favor with his superiors. Ren Gui, the general manager of Xuzhou, was Li Yuan's confidant and was highly valued and trusted by Li Yuan. The reason why Liu Rengui was able to serve as a military officer in Xizhou was introduced by Ren Gui.

Qian Shu once came to Liu Rengui, intending to give him the position of county magistrate and ask him to give him a few good words in front of Rengui. However, Liu Rengui refused. He was resentful for some reason and ignored him. He had no name on his attendance credit book.

Today, Qian Shu had a bad feeling when he received the official documents from the Ministry of Personnel of the Capital. However, he had no courage to deduct the official documents privately, so he had to bite the bullet and send them over.

Liu Rengui glanced at Qian Shu, put down the book in his hand, and bowed and said, "Master Qian..." He was honest and upright, and disdained people like Qian Shu who liked to take advantage of tricks. But he was also a boss after all, and he retained the most basic etiquette for him.

"Your official documents..." Qian Shu saw that he was very polite, but his attitude was rejected for a long time. He was even more dissatisfied and threw the official documents to him and left. Although he was curious, the contents of the official documents were still faceless.

In fact, Liu Rengui was also a little confused about his future. Back then, he was a small official with a large amount of sesame and green beans. By chance, he revised a few sentences to the article of the Henan Ambassador Ren Gui, and got Ren Gui's different eyes and appointed him as the army of Xizhou according to the court's official regulations. He thought this was the starting point of his career, but he did not expect Ren Gui to be transferred to Xuzhou as the general manager and cut off contact with each other.

Liu Rengui also had no habit of flattering his superiors, so he only stayed in Xizhou for many years, doing things in a tricky manner, and was useless.

When Liu Rengui opened the official document, he looked at the appointment in the official document, and his face flushed, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. The contents in the official document were naturally transferred, and he was transferred to the Governor's Office in Qingzhou to obey the order.

Liu Rengui was idle, but it did not mean that he did not care about the general trend of the world. Luo Shixin, the governor of Qingzhou, was famous both at home and abroad. Although he was not old, he was a very famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He had great achievements in his military affairs and was called Huo Piqi of the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Turkish civil strife, and the imperial court transferred Luo Shixin to Qingzhou to defend the border, which was definitely not just to defend the territory. He could serve as any position under his command, and his future was better than being a military officer in the small Xizhou.

"You're going to make it happen!" Liu Rengui said softly. He didn't know why the court suddenly issued such an order. But he believed that with his own ability, as long as he had a position that could show his talents, he would definitely succeed.

He suddenly thought of someone, put away the official documents and strode out of the government office.

Before Qian Shu could go far, Liu Rengui bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Qian, the court has issued an appointment and transferred me to the Governor's Office in Qingzhou to obey. Liu took office soon and the successor was chosen. Lord. He made a decision." He reported this to Qian Shu to facilitate the transfer of positions, and he had no intention of showing off.

But Qian Shu was stunned. Qingzhou is a middle-class capital, and the Governor's Office is far beyond Xizhou. Any official position in the capital mansion is more powerful than the Xizhou county magistrate.

Liu Rengui has already flew to the branch and is about to become a phoenix...

The jealousy appears on the face.

Liu Rengui also ignored Qian Shu and said goodbye first and left.

Instead of returning home, he walked to the slums west of the city and into one of the very small taverns.

The tavern is not big, it is messy and crowded, and there are people shouting around. Even though it is lively, it is inevitable that it is a bit messy.

Liu Rengui didn't like the environment here very much, frowned, looked around, and found the person he was looking for in the corner of the hotel: a person who was not in line with the environment: he was wearing a clean and tidy scholar's uniform, not old, and had a little vicissitudes of appearance. Although the clothes were patched and had a long time ago, they were neatly kept: in the noisy tavern, he poured and drank by himself, enjoying himself. There were no vegetables on the table, but there were wine jars piled up. It was seven jars. Just by drinking dryly, he drank a full seven jars of wine, which showed a huge amount.

"Brother Ma!" Liu Rengui shook his head and sighed, and walked up.

The young man, who was called "Brother Ma", shouted when he looked up and saw that it was Liu Rengui, and smiled and said, "Brother Liu is here at the right time. Come and have a few drinks with me. Boss, come and have two more jars of wine, and stir-fry a few side dishes for the wine. The payer is here." It turned out that he did not order food, but because he was short of money.

Liu Rengui looked at his bold and unruly friend and smiled and said, "Okay, I chose to go to the Governor's Office of Qingzhou to serve on the day of my relocation from the court. Today I will accompany Brother Ma, and I will not return until I am drunk."

The young man was stunned and said with a bitter smile: "Congratulations, Brother Liu, today you are in power and will surely make a fortune in the future." Congratulations are sincere, but they can't squeeze out their smiles.

Liu Rengui was also depressed when he looked at the bitter smile. He could understand his feelings: the young man's surname was Ma, with a single name named Zhou. His situation was even more miserable than him. Although he was born into a family of ordinary people, he could at least manage food and clothing. Ma Zhou was not only poor, but also died of both his parents when he was young, and was lonely and worked alone in a short-term worker, pulling himself up. In addition to making a living, he was very studious. When he was less than twenty, he was full of knowledge and talent to save the world.

However, because he was born poor and had a very strange temper. Even though he was full of knowledge, the people around him looked down on him and kept doing nothing. It was not until shortly after Li Yuan ascended the throne that Ma Zhou got the opportunity to become an official and became a minor official 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 minor official with a genius and was very unhappy. He enjoyed drinking all day long and did not do serious business.

Such a style was scolded by the local governor Da Xishu, who said that he was not an official. In anger, Ma Zhou abandoned his official position and left, traveling around the world, and met Liu Rengui in Xizhou.

They both had the same illness and were frustrated, and they all talked about each other, poured bitter water into each other, and led them to be close friends.

After getting along, Liu Rengui had already discovered that Ma Zhou was far ahead of him in politics, and was a person comparable to Fu Shuo, Guan Zhong and Xiao He. Such a talent but ended in such a situation is really a pity.

"Brother Ma, why don't you go to Qingzhou with me? I recommend to the general. The general can ask me to the shogunate to listen to me. What's the harm in having one more person? Brother Ma's talent is even better than me. The general is born in the army and is short of scholars like you and me, so he will definitely be valued." Liu Rengui looked at Ma Zhou, understood it with reason and moved it with emotion.

Ma Zhou also had a move in his heart, hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Zhou will follow Brother Liu on this trip."

The two of them had a meal and had a meal, and prepared their luggage the next day, and headed to Gyeongju.

They were close friends and friends, and they walked together, talking and laughing, and were not lonely.

Both of them were dust pearls. Seeing that they were expected to show off their talents in Gyeongju, they left at an extremely fast pace. After more than ten days, they arrived in Gyeongju.

I came to the Governor's Office and delivered a message to me.

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhouyi's face were full of dust, waiting for the communication.

Before I could wait, I heard the sound of urgent footsteps. Before the person arrived, the sound came first.

"Mr. Liu has finally arrived. I hope you will see through the autumn water..."

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou looked at each other, and they were both surprised.

Soon a young man appeared in their eyes. He was tall and thin, elegant and handsome, and his luxurious purple robe and official uniform added a lot of nobility.

You don’t need to introduce yourself to know who the visitor is. Only officials above the third rank in the Tang Dynasty are qualified to wear purple robes. There are only generals of the army in Qingzhou, governors of Qingzhou, and Duke Luo Shixin of the Duke of the State of Yan, who are qualified to wear purple official uniforms...

Looking at Luo Shixin, Liu Rengui, and Ma Zhou, who were much younger than them, couldn't help but show their admiration.

You should know that Luo Shixin's birth is worse than theirs, but now he is less than several people and more than tens of millions of people, and he is really their role model. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
