Liu Chengyou asked this question a little sharply, and even pointed out that he had a heart to betray the Lord.

Facing Liu Chengyou's slightly cold gaze, Gao Fang did not dodge, but his face couldn't help but appear solemn, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Cong is kind to me, the original grace of knowing the encounter, every thing, treat each other with relatives, in order to repay this kindness, the subordinate officials should serve with all their hearts." However, personal kindness, after all, Zhang Congen gave up the righteousness of his family and country, and would rather surrender to the Khitan Hukou with the state town, but this is something that the lower officials never dare to agree with! ”

"To envoy Zhang Congen, he can do his best, even if he only guards the pass and protects the people, and the lower officials will continue to follow the left and right, and serve wholeheartedly. However, the day Zhang Congen abandoned the state was the time when the two of us made a righteous decision! ”

In the end, Gao Fang's voice was excited, and there was some emotional gaffe on his face.

"Ten years of kindness is not as good as the righteousness of the family and the country!" After listening to his explanation, Liu Chengyou's eyes calmed down, and he muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then bowed his hand to him: "High judge Gao Yi!" ”

"The subordinate only wants to be worthy of his heart!" Gao Fang's expression gradually calmed down, and he said in a deep voice.

Gao Fang's words are indeed righteous words, showing high integrity, this may be the true thoughts in his heart, or is there some other reason. But Liu Chengyou has already concluded in his heart that this person is indeed worth wooing.

Putting aside the slightly "heavy" topic, Liu Chengyou turned to ask: "Shicai, what do you think of Wang Shouen's invitation, the high judge?" ”

Gao Fang didn't seem to have completely gotten rid of his emotions, and when he suddenly heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, but he also heard Liu Chengyou's dissatisfaction with Wang Shouen in his tone, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said a little vaguely: "Wang Inspector, it should be a lieutenant general in the army, so give up the skin and ask for his life......

"I have heard about the affairs of the festival in the house this morning, and I have also heard of him being a man for official affairs. According to common sense, the high judge and Wang Shouen have no good friendship, and after a dispute, the relationship should be very discordant! Looking at Gao Fang, Liu Chengyou's eyes were full of doubts: "However, from the city to the banquet, and then to this moment, listening to you, there is a faint meaning to protect Wang Shouen, what is this?" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou's question, Gao Fang was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Although Wang Inspector is greedy for money and profit, arrogant and ugly, his official position and prestige are all the heads of Luzhou's civil and military affairs. The lower officials knew that his personality was perverse, and he couldn't bear to see his domineering behavior, which angered His Highness and caused trouble......"

Hearing Gao Fang say this, Liu Chengyou's eyebrows raised slightly, he thought of Xiang Xun and said that Gao Fang was an official, and he had received it on behalf of others, and he had no excuse, just to save people's lives. Thinking of this time, defending Wang Shouen, this person is gentle and admirable, but in Liu Chengyou's opinion, it seems to be a bit pedantic.

With a turn of his mind, Liu Chengyou asked Gao Fang faintly: "The high judge's words faintly have the intention of admonishing me, isn't he afraid of me, and there is no room for Wang Shou's grace?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" Hearing this, Gao Fang shook his head again and again and denied it.

Liu Chengyou sat up straight, his expression became cold, and he stared at Gao Fang: "Don't hide it from the high judge, I am indeed dissatisfied with Wang Shouen, it seems that this kind of person, no matter where he is an official, will take gathering as a matter, not the blessing of the people." I want to kill them and do a lot of harm to the world. As for Luzhou, it will be reported to Jinyang, please take the high judge as the moderation, what do you think? ”

Liu Chengyou's calm tone was awe-inspiring, but Gao Fang was shocked. looked at Liu Chengyou in amazement, there was no joy on his face, but he said urgently: "Your Highness, you must not!" ”

Seeing his excited reaction, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to normal: "Why? ”

Gao Fang replied without thinking: "In this uprising, Wang Shouen's credit cannot be erased after all. If it weren't for his great help, Luzhou probably wouldn't have been so easy to go down the whole state. If he leads the soldiers and horses of Luzhou and joins forces with Zhao Xingqian to wait for the Khitan army and horses, the situation in Luzhou will be eroded as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of urgency, Gao Fang had already called Wang Shouen's name in his mouth: "A Wang Shouen is nothing, His Royal Highness kills him like a chicken, but if he kills him for no reason, how will the people of the world look at His Highness and Jinyang?" Fang today, the Khitan is still powerful, although Liu Gong was built in Jinyang, but the real control is only the land of the ten states in Hedong, just when the Central Plains and Hebei towns are united to attack the Khitan. ”

"Fang takes the state and county, and kills the heroes, not only the Luzhou generals are cold, but the spread will go out, which will make the world have doubts, which is really harmful to the great cause of fighting the Khitan, and please think twice!"

Gao Wei's words sound a little reasonable, but in reality, it won't be so exaggerated. The life of a mere Wang Shouen is not qualified to influence the situation in the world and affect the great cause of "chasing Liao".

However, Liu Chengyou believed at this time that Gao Fang really wanted to save Wang Shouen's life, and it should be to take care of the overall situation and add a little kindness.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and Liu Chengyou said with a faint sigh: "Although I have first met the high judge, I don't want to hear Jun's heartfelt words. ”

Paying attention to Liu Chengyou's demeanor, looking like he was about to be convinced, Gao Fang turned his mind around, and said, "Has Your Highness ever heard the story of a daughter buying bones?" ”

"Nature." Liu Chengyou glanced at him, and probably guessed what he would do next, and said directly: "If you think about it carefully, this Wang Shouen is really like a bone, a dry bone in the grave!" ”

"That's it, Lone, this time I will accept the words of the high judge, learn from the monarch in Guo Kui's mouth, and come to the 'dry bones of Qianjin City'......"

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Gao Fang Weine, this change seemed to be a bit fast, calm down, but looking at Liu Chengyou's calm face, he subconsciously asked out loud: "Your Highness, do you have no intention of killing Wang Shouen?" ”

"As you said, the life and death of a Wang Shouen is nothing. He is greedy for money and profit, arrogant and domineering, but he will not die in the end, this time he is indeed meritorious, rashly killed, in addition to venting my dissatisfaction in my heart, there is no benefit, and it is easy to fall into the infamy of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys! Liu Chengyou said lightly: "As for ...... in the future"

As for what will happen in the future, Liu Chengyou didn't say anything, but Gao Fang had already respectfully saluted Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

Spit out, Liu Chengyou continued: "Not only will I not kill him, but I will also report to Jinyang and appoint Wang Shouen as the envoy of Zhaoyi (Luzhou) Festival to raise his merits!" ”

"As for the high judge, I intend to take you as the inspection envoy of Luzhou, leading the military affairs of Luzhou, and recommend them together! This time, you won't refuse......"

Looking at Liu Chengyou, Gao Fang didn't dare to look down on this young man who was two rounds younger than him, took a deep breath, and bowed to him: "Your Highness Xie." ”

"No courtesy. I have heard of your talents, and I have talked about them tonight, and they have not disappointed me! Liu Chengyou's complexion completely returned to nature, and he began to say words to win people's hearts again: "The accounts are in the book, and the treasury has tens of millions of dollars." However, as far as I am concerned, it is better to have tens of millions of treasury than to be on high defense! ”

Hearing this, even though his high-level experience would not be so moved that he bowed his head, he always felt some emotion in his heart, and solemnly saluted Liu Chengyou: "Thank you Your Highness for your attention, I dare not take my humble position!" ”

After chatting with Gao Fang for a few more words, Liu Chengyou said goodbye to him, and when he retreated, he reminded lightly: "Tonight's conversation between you and me, huh...... Don't talk to anyone! ”

"Yes!"
