A person's experience will be firmly imprinted on a person's body, face and temperament. As the saying goes: at the age of thirty, he relies on his own image as a gift from his parents, and after the age of thirty, he relies on his own cultivation.

Hou Dayong went from Zhengzhou defense envoy, Fengzhou Jiedushi, and Lingzhou Jiedushi to the prime minister, and then changed from prime minister to chief prime minister. After more than seven years of leadership, his body, language, and expression unknowingly changed significantly when he first arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This trend of the superiors was difficult to dress up, and it was the result of long-term infiltration and subtle influence.

The man in green clothes has seen countless people and has a lot of experience in the art of Qimen. He has already felt the extraordinaryness of Hou Dayong and can't help but think repeatedly in his heart: Who is this person's eyes tight?

Hou Dayong was also quite interested in the man in green clothes and bowed, "Do you dare to ask about the name of sir?"

"Let's go to Liu Xigu."

When Hou Dayong heard this name, his eyes flashed with surprise and said, "Are you Liu Yichun?"

"That's right," Liu Xigu said in a strange heart, "We seem to have never met before. Who is yours?" You are the name of the noble person. Liu Xigu has determined that Hou Dayong's identity is extraordinary, so he deliberately used the word "Your".

Hou Dayong did not answer and smiled and said, "I remember Mr. Yichun was the judge of the Jiedu Army of Guide, why did he drink alone?" Hou Dayong knew that after Zhao Kuangyin was executed, although his staff were not sentenced, they were all implicated and demoted to the people one by one. Liu Xigu also lost his position as Jiedu Governor.

Liu Xigu sighed and said, "What kind of judge of the Jiedu? That's the past. Now I am a grass-roots person. After eating this barbecue, I am going to go back to Songzhou to take care of several acres of thin fields in my family and pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. I leisurely see the southern mountain and the paradise of the world is really desirable. I just talked about national affairs, but it was already abrupt. People in the mountains and fields no longer care about these common things?"

These words were half true and half tempted.

Liu Xigu said again: "Your Excellency is extraordinary. I am sorry to be a little clumsy. Who is your Excellency?"

Hiding your identity at will by applying makeup is a secret skill, so Hou Dayong did not want to reveal his true identity, so he said casually: "Next Zhou Yong. From the northwest border, he is just an unknown junior."

Liu Xigu recited Zhou Yong twice and searched in his mind for a while. In his memory, there was no famous person named Zhou Yong. While he was confused, he accidentally saw Shi Gaoyueming's sky blue eyes. Only Hu people had such color. Liu Xigu knew that the Black Eagle Army had been stationed in the northwest for a long time, and there were many Hu people in the army. Now when he saw Shi Gaoyueming's sky blue eyes, the big man confessed to being from the northwest. He even further recognized that the big man in front of him was a figure in Hou Dayong's army. Judging from his tone and his appearance, he predicted that this person should be an important figure in the Black Eagle Army.

Liu Xigu was a Jinshi in the Later Tang Dynasty. He and former prime minister Fan Zhi became He Ning's disciple. Fan Zhi served as prime minister for many years, but Liu Xigu had been in the county magistrate and aide in the town for a long time. Before being dismissed, he was still the judge of the governor before he was dismissed. With Zhao Kuangyin's death, he could not even be the judge of the governor, and retired to the mountains and forests was just a helpless move. Liu Xigu was full of knowledge and ambitions. Now that the tiger was in the flat sun, the dragon was trapped in the shallows, and his ambition was unable to be extended.

At this moment, he sensitively realized that the opportunity had come, and he held a hint of joy in his heart, retreated to advance, and said lightly: "Mingyue Restaurant barbecue is really well-known. You should eat it while it is hot, and there will be no such fragrance when it is cold."

With Liu Xigu's eyes, he had already concluded that Hou Dayong was not a thing in the pool. He was no different from Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. He used the emperor to command the princes. After Zhao Kuangyin was defeated, he wanted to join Hou Dayong's curtain, but there was no one to introduce him, and he was also Zhao Kuangyin's aide. Then he gave up. When the opportunity came, he calmed down and dealt with Zhou Yong without showing any expression.

What Hou Dayong lacked the most was talent. After hearing Liu Xigu's words, he felt like he was recruiting. At this time, the Black Eagle Army had firmly controlled the situation in Daliang, and the power of the Zhao family and Fan family had long disappeared. There were many talents among Zhao Kuangyin or Fan Zhi, and it was a pity that he had lost it among the people.

Hou Dayong's profession in another world was a soldier, so he had not studied history in depth. He knew about celebrities such as Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin, and Yang Jiye, but he was not very clear about Fan Zhi and Liu Xigu. All his impressions of Liu Xigu came from the report provided by Feiying Hall: Liu Xigu, the judge of the Jiedu, was smart and had an important counselor of Zhao Kuangyin.

Hou Dayong didn't know that in the history of another world he had lived in, Liu Xigu was one of the most romantic figures in the Song Dynasty.

In another historical drama, Liu Xigu was an important member of Zhao Kuangyin's aide group. He defected to Zhao Kuangyin in the sixth year of Xiande. The Chenqiao mutiny occurred in the second year. Liu Xigu was appointed as the left counselor of the Xin Dynasty. Later, he was in charge of Fengxiang, Qinzhou and Chengdu. Later, he served as the governor of politics. At the age of 70, he retired and returned home and died with a good end. Liu Xigu was a rare civil and military genius in the aide group of the aide group of the aides. He was also the only scholar. He was proficient in history, phonology, and yin and yang. He wrote 50 volumes of "Abstract of Classics of the Ages" and several volumes of "Chechuang Shiyu".

Although Hou Dayong had no idea of ​​Liu Xigu's romanticism in the Song Dynasty, Feiying Hall had given Liu Xigu a place. After a few words, he had made up his mind to subdue this person.

Hou Dayong was a human being in his two lives and knew a lot about human nature. If Liu Xigu was truly discouraged, he would not have said anything just now and continued to ask: "Now the great powers are dependent on the four realms, and the world is not unified. The country is the opportunity to use people. Mr. Yichun is very talented, so why should he talk about retreating to the mountains and forests?" Hou Dayong saw that Liu Xigu was still gnawing barbecue, and then said: "I just talked about the big things that the silence of the festival is not broken, so I have a good idea."

Liu Xigu slowly ate a large piece of barbecue, then clapped his hands and said, "The affairs of the town have been around for a long time. If you want to cure it, you must consider it carefully and comprehensively."

He also said: "Now all the towns and towns have several states under their jurisdiction. All the prefectures and counties outside their garrisons are Zhizhou. Zhizhou has no defensive envoys or regiment envoys, but is under the control of the governor. If the power of the town is to be cut off, these branches can be gradually reclaimed and the court will directly send personnel to the jurisdiction, thereby breaking the roots of the town and weakening its power."

"Mr. Yichun's words are deeply loved by me." Hou Dayong has put the matter of taking back Zhizhou on the agenda, but it is still in the confidential stage. Liu Xigu, as an olympic, has really gained such insight.

"Mr. Yichun is knowledgeable and famous for a long time. He has already made more than ten volumes of "Minutes of the Chronicles". With his reputation, he can fully enter the Hanlin Academy. Yushi Dou is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. I think he has heard of Mr. Yichun's name. I am familiar with him. If Mr. Yichun doesn't dislike him, he can enter the Hanlin Academy."

The Hanlin Academy, in the first meaning, refers to the place where Wenhan gathers. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the main task of the Hanlin Academy was to act as the emperor's political and military secretary and Wenhan attendant. The Hanlin Academy was not very strong, but was a close minister of the emperor. It had a great space for development and was the place that scholars yearned for the most. This was like the secretary in modern society. Although the rank was not high, he had extremely strong ability to move. After being released from his leader, he was promoted very smoothly and was called a secretary.

Liu Xigu heard Zhou Yong speak of the Hanlin Academy and was a little suspicious, and could not figure out Zhou Tong's origin. He said modestly: "I have a very shallow sense of how I can get into the Hanlin Academy. Brother Zhou joked."

At this time, several more people walked into Mingyue Restaurant, each with a burly figure and straight waist. One of them had already seen Liu Xigu sitting next to Hou Dayong and said loudly: "Mr. Liu, you are here too."

When the waiter saw these people, he nodded and greeted him, saying, "There is a fairy room upstairs for General Cao to keep, and the dishes are ready."

The person who came was Cao Bin, the attendant of Chai Rong. He followed Chai Rong for many years and was extremely trusted by Chai Rong. After Chai Rong's death, Hou Dayong changed the palace guard and replaced Cao Bin with Cui Zheng. Cao Bin was transferred to Zhengzhou as the defensive censor.

Cao Bin quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you drinking outside here? Let's go upstairs with me?" Seeing Hou Dayong and Liu Xigu sitting at the table, he said, "Mr. Liu's friend is also Cao's friend, let's go upstairs together."

Cao Bin has always been acquainted with Zhao Kuangyin, and the two often drink together, so Liu Xigu is familiar with Cao Bin. At this time, Liu Xigu was not willing to meet Zhou Yong and Cao Bin, and was about to decline. However, Zhou Yong stood up happily and said: Since General Cao is kind, Zhou is more respectful than obedient."

The group went upstairs.

After sitting down, Liu Xigu said: "Although Brother Zhou was the first to meet, we hit it off at first sight. The man from the northwest was very generous and had a thousand cups of wine. Haha, ha." Liu Xigu's words reminded Cao Bin that he and Zhou Yong were the first to meet him, so he had some concerns about his words.

Hou Dayong took the initiative to lift the wine pot, poured several bowls, and said, "I heard that General Cao's reputation has been famous for a long time. I must give you three cups."

After drinking three bowls of wine, Cao Bin's face became a little rosy. He noticed Shi Gao Yueming's blue eyes. He thought of Liu Xigu's words when he sat down, and became suspicious in his heart, and asked, "Is Zhou Lang a tiger walking and a wolf walking, a man from a rank of ranks?"

Hou Dayong did not hide it, and beat him up and said, "In Guazhou people, the Black Eagle Army who joined last year, this is a brother and is also from Guazhou."
