Luo Binwang was drunk and did not forget to introduce Zhang Zong's contribution to the ghost case, which made Zhang Zong quite moved, but at the same time he felt more speechless: You, a little master, shouted at a prime minister and directly said his name and position. Isn't this arbitrary death?

"The Chang'an County Lord is so powerful, but I know the Ghost Case, but I didn't expect it to be solved by you!" Liu Rengui also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, and at the same time he looked at Luo Binwang for the first time. You must know that when he was in Chang'an, the Ghost Case had already caused a storm in the city. Now, three years have passed, and this major case has finally been solved.

"Are you scared, Mr. Luo," Luo Binwang originally wanted to say something else, but at this time Zhang Zong finally rushed to him and immediately pulled him back to the table. However, the other party was still unwilling to do so. However, his alcoholism surged up, and he muttered and said something he couldn't hear clearly, and finally he lay on the table and fell asleep.

Seeing Luo Binwang sleeping, Zhang Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and smiled awkwardly at Liu Rengui, saying, "My tourist brother is in a bad mood, so he came to me to drink. He offended him just now, so I hope the left prime minister will not blame him!"

"He solved such a strange case, and it was the time when spring breeze was so proud. How could he feel bad?" Liu Rengui asked with a calm expression, making people unable to tell whether he was angry.

"This" Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "The Zuo Prime Minister didn't know that because of the Ghost Case, the pressure from Chang'an County was huge. Even the county magistrate resigned and returned to his hometown. The county magistrate pretended to be sick. All the pressure fell on the tourist brother. A few days ago, he finally solved the Ghost Case, but the county magistrate who pretended to be sick jumped out and robbed his credit. But the tourist brother had no choice but to come to me for a drink."

"A senior official level is crushed to death. After so many years, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty is still the same!" Surprisingly, Liu Rengui was not angry at all after hearing this, and his expression was still very calm, as if he did not intend to care about this matter, which disappointed Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong carried Luo Binwang to the guest room, and then asked Liu Rengui to enter the living room. The other party tasted tea and said, "The prince told me about you. You are so talented at a young age. It is the time to join the government to serve the court. Even if you have your father's affairs, you don't have to be too restricted. As long as you are willing, I will recommend you to the court in person. I believe that Your Majesty will definitely give you an exception at your discretion!"

Zhang Zong was also stunned when he heard this. He heard what Liu Rengui said, and he didn't seem to know that he had made a three-year agreement with Li Hong. Could it be that Li Hong did not tell him everything about him?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong immediately spoke and said tentatively: "Thank you for your attention, but the reason why I don't want to be an official is that besides my father's affairs, the most important thing is that I feel that I am too young and I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything when I enter the officialdom. So it's better to take advantage of the past few years to study hard, increase your knowledge, and wait until three years before deciding whether to become an official!"

When Zhang Zong mentioned the word "three years", he deliberately emphasized his tone, wanting to see if Liu Rengui had any special reaction?

However, Liu Rengui did not have any abnormalities. Instead, he advised again: "This idea makes sense, but I think you should enter the officialdom early to exercise. No one is born to be an official. Over time, you will naturally learn a lot."

Zhang Zong was relieved when he saw this. It seemed that Li Hong did not tell Liu Rengui everything he did. He probably just told Liu Rengui that he had helped him do many things, such as printing techniques, Xue Rengui's affairs, etc. In addition, Zhang Zong offered Lin Yidao's contribution, which made Liu Rengui interested in him.

"I will consider the Left Prime Minister carefully, but since the Left Prime Minister has met the Prince this time, I wonder if the Prince mentioned the situation in Liaodong?" Zhang Zong did not want to discuss the issue of his official career, so he changed the subject.

Liu Rengui also showed a disappointed expression at this time, but he still answered: "The prince has asked about the layout of Liaodong. I also persuaded the prince to lead the naval army by Du Shuang, who is proficient in water warfare. As for Xue Rengui, it is more appropriate to buy Xiaocheng to control the infantry and cavalry armies."

Zhang Zong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had heard of the general Du Shuang. This man was once an old subordinate of Liu Rengui. During the Battle of Baijiangkou, he commanded a fleet to kill the Japanese naval forces. Later, he was even summoned by Li Zhi with Liu Rengui. I think this man must play a greater role in the navy than Xue Rengui.

"Zhang Zong, I'm actually very curious about you. You have made so many useful suggestions to the prince, such as the emergence of printing technology. It not only makes books cheaper, but also changes the situation where the aristocratic people monopolize education. However, for such a great contribution, you just give it away. Moreover, the prince trusts you so much, but you are unwilling to become an official. So what are your plans?"

Liu Rengui suddenly turned the topic again and suddenly told Zhang Zong that he would not give up so easily.

Zhang Zong smiled helplessly when he heard this. People who can leave their names in history books are indeed not good types, especially Liu Rengui, who is not only happy or angry, but also likes to break the bastard and ask the whole story. If he doesn't give him a satisfactory answer today, I'm afraid the other party will never give up.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong suddenly sighed, then looked directly at the other party and said, "Does Zuo Xiang want to hear lies or the truth?"

"How to tell lies, how to tell the truth?" Liu Rengui asked again with an interesting expression.

"If the Zuo Xiang wants to hear lies, then I will say that I regard fame and fortune as a cloud, and I will not take it seriously if I have a title of marquis and ministers. If the Zuo Xiang wants to hear the truth,"

Zhang Zong paused suddenly when he said this, then looked at Liu Rengui and smiled helplessly, "The truth is that I am too lazy. My life is just a few decades. Looking at the past and present, it is just a blink of an eye. I think that Zhang Zong has just arrived at the age of hair removal, which is the best time in my life. There are too many things waiting for me to do. How can I spend my great years in the paperwork?"

At the end, Zhang Zong stood up with great enthusiasm. He knew that lying in front of Liu Rengui would not have been possible to deceive the other party, so he told the truth directly. These were his true thoughts. The best time in his previous life was all busy preparing to welcome the cruel dividing line of life, and he had no energy to think about other things. In this life, he wanted to make up for this regret.

Liu Renrui looked at Zhang Zong with surprise when he heard this. He believed in his eyes, especially young people like Zhang Zong, who could almost see through the other party at first sight. Although Zhang Zong is much more complicated than ordinary young people, when Zhang Zong said the above words, his eyes and intuition told him that the other party did not lie.

"It is indeed rare for a young man to have such an open-minded state of mind as you!" Liu Rengui was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

Liu Rengui is over 70 years old this year and has seen through the world. He even felt envious of Zhang Zong’s thoughts. He thought that when he was young, his mind was full of fame and fortune. It was not until later that he knew his destiny that he had such an open-minded state of mind.

"The left prime minister doesn't have to praise me, I'm just lazy." Zhang Zong emphasized again that he was a human being in his two lives, and he was indifferent to fame and fortune. This was the biggest impact on him.

"But since you don't want to enter the officialdom, why do you deliberately approach the prince? Don't say that you offered saltpeter ice, and the printing method are just for the country and the people!" Liu Rengui asked curiously again, even blocking Zhang Zong's chance to lie.

However, since Zhang Zong had confessed, he did not intend to lie about this matter again. He spread his hands and said helplessly again: "I remember that Zuo Xiang was poor when he was young, and he must be very clear about the helplessness and suffering of ordinary people. A small tooth man and a Furong Garden prison history almost forced me to be desperate. The small flower garden left by his father could not be kept. I don't want to bully people, but I don't want to be bullied, so I can only use some external forces to protect myself!"

"But with your intelligence, don't you know that being around the prince is even more dangerous and you may be involved in the whirlpool in the court at any time. At that time, it will not be external things like family property, but your own wealth and life?" Liu Rengui pressed step by step again.

"I know, that's why I don't want to be an official. As the saying goes, people are in the court and they can't help it. Just like you, Zuo Prime Minister, you have resigned from your post a few years ago, but why did you become an official again later?" Zhang Zong said calmly again.

Liu Rengui suffered a serious illness a few years ago and resigned from his post and returned to his hometown. However, when he recovered from his illness, he soon became an official again. Therefore, Zhang Zong said the words "When people are in the court, they can't help but behave." This is to use Liu Rengui himself as an example.

After hearing this, Liu Rengui also showed a silent expression. He thought that most of his life had been in the officialdom for most of his life. When he was at the most down and out, he was even exiled as a prisoner in the army. It was that exile that allowed him to seize the opportunity and defeat the Japanese army at Baijiangkou in one fell swoop. Since then, he has risen to the top in the officialdom until now. However, as time goes by, he often feels unable to help, even if he wants to retreat and rest for a while.

Seeing that Liu Rengui was not speaking, Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment and said again: "As long as people live in this world, they cannot escape the grudges and grudges in this world. This is the case with the prince, the left prime minister, and the small-minister Zhang Zong. None of us can completely control our own destiny, but as long as conditions allow, I still hope to create a better condition for myself, do something that interests us, and hope that the left prime minister will clearly observe!"
