"I lost to Zhang Tianshang's ability!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

"Abilities?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and began to guess in his heart, the meaning of Li Geng's words, he gradually guessed something, and he looked at Li Geng in disbelief.

"What do you mean, master?" Li Ming looked at Li Geng and was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Geng, he waved his hand and said: "You guessed right, I am far worse than Zhang Tianshang in terms of ability, and there is one more point, that is, when I was in power, I did very few practical things, but Zhang Tianshang is different, although Zhang Tianshang is sleek and exquisite, but he does things very well!" ”

"I'm defeated by him!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

"I didn't think of this before, but when you told those people in my family this year, I realized that although the people in our family are talented and can be humans, they don't do anything, or they don't do things!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

Li Geng didn't realize these before, because when he was on the rise, he relied on connections, dealing with people, and his own smoothness.

But when you meet a person who is also very good at dealing with people and is also very tactful, at that time these things seem to be not very important, and the things that are spelled are ability and merit.

Obviously, when he Li Geng was an official in the same dynasty as Li Ming, his merits were not as high as Zhang Tianshang, as for his ability, he did not do as much as Zhang Tianshang, who thinks that this ability is higher than Zhang Tianshang?

Therefore, many people think that the position of Xiangguo is Li Geng's, not Zhang Tianshang, who was born as a civilian.

But in the end, what no one expected was that the position of Xiangguo finally came into the hands of Zhang Tianshang, who was not favored by anyone, but not in the hands of Li Geng, who was favored by everyone.

At the beginning, Li Gengjue's life may not be as good as Zhang Tianshang, and people are not as good as Zhang Tianshang, but when I hear what Li Ming said today, it seems that this is not the case.

Although Li Geng has not served in Qi Xiaobai's hands, judging from the things in the court, he can feel that the people Qi Xiaobai values are all people who can do things and can do things.

And what the Qi country needs today is the person who does things, because the Qi country wants to compete for hegemony, he Li Geng once almost ascended to the position of Xiangguo, he is not a mediocre person, he is also a smart person, he also knows what the Qi country needs at this time, what is needed is talents, talents.

As the head of the Li family, he watched the juniors grow up, taught the juniors to stand in line in the officialdom, and watched the juniors get ahead one by one, he knew in his heart that although the juniors of his family were very tactful, they were actually also talents, but they didn't give full play to their abilities.

At the beginning, Li Geng thought that he would be able to do things and do things, which were all secondary, as long as the popularity was good and everyone recommended you, you could get to the position you wanted.

But at this time, Li Geng realized that if you don't know how to do things, I am afraid that you will also be pulled down when you reach that position.

He saw from when Li Ming said Li Shaoyang that he was in his position, and without the ability to be in his position, one day, he would come down from this position.

Li Ming looked at Li Geng, he didn't expect that the head of the family would admit his shortcomings, in his thoughts, Li Geng, the head of the Li family, was an extremely proud person, even if he lost to Zhang Tianshang back then, he didn't think that he was really worse than Zhang Tianshang.

Although Li Geng is a proud person, he Li Ming didn't think that his family master was stronger than Zhang Tianshang from the beginning, this was mainly because he was a winner and loser, if you were stronger than Zhang Tianshang, how could you lose to Zhang Tianshang's hands back then?

I'm afraid that the current position of Xiangguo is you, Li Geng, not Zhang Tianshang.

Li Geng took a deep breath, looked at Li Ming and said, "I didn't expect that when I was about to enter the ground, I realized that I was far worse than Zhang Tianshang!" ”

Li Ming hurriedly said on the side: "The head of the family, where are you talking about, even if Zhang Tianshang can do things, it is mainly because there are few opportunities for the family to host things, if the head of the family has more opportunities, I am afraid there will be nothing to do with Zhang Tianshang, this Minister of Finance, the position of the three major ministers, there must be a place for the head of the family!" ”

Li Geng waved his hand and said, "Give me ten chances, I'm not Zhang Tianshang's opponent, don't brag about me!" ”

"I couldn't win Zhang Tianshang back then, and in this era, it's even more impossible for me to win Zhang Tianshang!" Li Geng looked at Li Ming and said.

Li Ming was stunned, and looked at Li Geng in his heart, is this still the head of the family he knows who has always refused to admit defeat? Why is it so thorough to admit defeat now?

Li Geng took a deep breath: "During the Qi Lufu period, because my Qi State did not have the idea of external expansion, and only wanted to favor one side, so there was a bit of a miasma in the court, whoever has good popularity, who will be a person, and whose official rank will be high!" ”

"At the beginning, I felt that in the entire court, there was no one better than me, and he was more proficient!"

"Even now, I think, this convenience is still better than Zhang Tianshang, but I'm afraid that at that time, my lord Qi Lufu didn't just want to take sides!" Li Geng said lightly.

Li Ming was stunned, in Li Ming's consciousness, the Qi State began to fight for hegemony, it was the Qi Xiaobai period, even if it was a short-term matter for Qi Zhu, Qi Zhu also specified the strategy of the Qi State, and it was also not a struggle for hegemony, but a side of peace.

After Qi Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, he began to let Qi go to the hegemony and compete with the princes of the world, and it was at this time that the court of Qi began to change, and the system of Qi began to change.

At that time, people didn't understand why Qi Xiaobai broke the tradition and persecuted many families, and the Li family was also unhappy with Qi Xiaobai's actions at the beginning.

Li Geng's idea is that he will always stand with the king, always stand with the monarch, and if the monarch wants to reform, even if he touches the interests of his own family, he must follow the monarch.

Li Geng thinks that they are courtiers, subordinates, courtiers, and subordinates will never be able to fight the monarch, so he asked the children of the family to stand on Qi Xiaobai's side.

No matter what Li Geng thinks, they are on the right side in the end, Qi Xiaobai's reform has been successful, they are on the side of the winner, and they have also received the reward that the winner deserves.

At that time, they felt that Qi Xiaobai was the monarch, and the courtiers couldn't fight Qi Xiaobai, but they more or less disagreed with Qi Xiaobai's reform, after all, it touched their interests, and now looking at the beginning, Li Geng can think of why Qi Xiaobai wants to reform, for Qi State, this reform is necessary, in the short term, it touches the interests of their family, but in the long run, why not protect their family?
