Chapter 478 Yecheng Du Family

"Whether it is the Du family, or you dignitaries, everyone is a child of Qi State, as long as you live in Qi State, you must be involved in the court politics of Qi State, how can there be such a thing as not getting involved in party disputes! And the world is like chess, everyone is a chess piece in this game of chess, who can be alone! Xiao Yao said with a sneer.

"But if King Lanling has a connection with this Du family, then he is a big taboo, if Your Majesty knows that he has hooked up with the rich Du family, then Your Majesty will definitely not let him go! Does General Xiao have any evidence? Mutiva said excitedly.

As a close confidant of Gao Wei, of course Mu Tipo knows Gao Wei's temper very well, and knows that although Gao Wei is mediocre and looks like he loves beauty and does not love the country, he still attaches great importance to the imperial power in his hands, if anyone threatens his throne, then Gao Wei will not hesitate to kill him to prevent future troubles!

At that time, Gao Wei's younger brother Gao Yan launched a coup d'état to force the palace, which seriously threatened Gao Wei's throne, so Gao Wei disregarded family affection, and even killed Gao Yan under his mother's nose!

and Hu Luguang, it was because of the too much power in his hands that Gao Wei was jealous, so he was taken advantage of by Mu Tipo and Zu Yan, and used all kinds of rumors to make false accusations, so Gao Wei killed the high-ranking and powerful Hu Luguang without hesitation!

So if Gao Wei knows that Gao Changgong is actually connected with the Du family, who is rich and rival in the Qi country, then no matter how low-key Gao Changgong is now, how he pretends to be sick and does not see guests, Gao Wei will no longer believe that Gao Changgong is an ordinary cousin who has no ambition and will not threaten his throne!

"When I was in Jinling City, that Du Youxin used to gamble with me every day, and in order to please me, he deliberately lost thousands of taels of silver to me, and this Du Youxin personally led the assassin to ambush me outside Jinling City, but then we found that Du Youxin actually absconded back to Qi State, so it can be seen that the other people who ambushed me Du Youxin faked! And this person, I suspect that it is the cronies and lieutenant general next to Gao Changgong, Wei Xiangyuan! Xiao Yao said with a cold look in his eyes.

"What General Xiao means is that Gao Changgong sent his deputy general, Wei Xiangyuan, to pretend to be Du Youxin, the sister-in-law of the Du family, and went to Jinling City, taking the opportunity to get close to General Xiao, and then assassinating General Xiao!" Mutiva asked in surprise.

Being in Yecheng, of course he didn't know that Gao Changgong, who was stationed in Huaibei at that time, had done so many things that he didn't know, but if he didn't even know what Mu Tiva didn't know, it meant that Gao Wei definitely didn't know either!

Gao Changgong has done so many things behind Gao Wei's back, even if these things are beneficial to Qi Guo, it will also anger Gao Wei, because in Gao Wei's eyes, he doesn't care if these things are good for Qi Guo, he only cares if you are loyal to him or not!

"At that time, these assassins who ambushed me used muskets invented and manufactured by me, and in the whole world, except for Gao Changgong, who once defeated me in Linying County, even the guards of His Majesty Chen Guo did not have these powerful muskets! So at that time, I guessed that these assassins were sent by Gao Changgong, but I was just curious why this Wei Xiangyuan could come to Jinling City with Du Youxin, the sister-in-law of the Du family, because at that time, our Chen Guo had carefully investigated the merchants who came to Qi Guo, and confirmed that they were from the Du family, so we would let them enter Jinling City! Xiao Yao pretended to be puzzled and said.

"That means that when Gao Changgong was still in Huaibei, when he still held military power in his hands, he had already colluded with the Du family, who controlled more than half of the wealth of Qi State?" Mu Tiva caught the key point at once, because when you have money and soldiers, you can rebel!

"And I heard that after I came to Yecheng and argued with Gao Changgong in the Cool Breeze Palace, on the same day, Gao Changgong sent this Wei Xiangyuan, who had been following him, to leave Yecheng, General Mu didn't think there was something strange in this matter? Why did I, Xiao Yao, just arrived in Yecheng, and he had to leave in such a hurry? Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"That must be the one who is afraid of being recognized by General Xiao, he is the one who pretended to be Du Youxin and ambushed General Xiao outside Jinling City!" Mu Tipo nodded and said, and then said with a treacherous and fierce look: "No wonder when Your Majesty said that General Xiao personally came to Yecheng to negotiate an armistice and peace with our Qi country, there were so many ministers in the imperial court who expressed strong opposition, and even advocated taking General Xiao on the spot to avenge those dead Qi soldiers!" It turned out that they were all afraid that after General Xiao came to Yecheng, he would shake out the collusion between the Du family and Gao Changgong! ”

"The Du family has a lot of influence in the Qi Kingdom, and there are many officials above the court who are their people! Usually, even His Majesty is jealous of them, but I can't imagine that they are colluding with Gao Changgong, who was still holding military power at that time, and Gao Changgong is a child of the royal family, they must want to rebel! Thanks to General Xiao's defeat of Gao Changgong in Xuzhou, His Majesty took the opportunity to seize Gao Changgong's military power, so that these conspiracies and tricks of their could not be realized! Mu Ti Po said with a look of immortality.

"Thank you General Xiao for telling the last general such important news, otherwise Your Majesty and we will be kept in the dark by Gao Changgong! Now that I think about it, the various behaviors of this Gao Changgong before him are indeed very suspicious! When he was in Xuzhou, he played to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to support him in imitating those firearms that he took from General Xiao, but after being rejected by His Majesty, he was able to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to imitate them, and there must be the help of the Du family, otherwise he would rely on his little Lanling King, where would he get the money and materials to imitate! Mutipa said with disdain.

"Now as long as we tell Your Majesty the news, I believe Your Majesty will immediately order Gao Changgong to be executed!" Mu Tipo said excitedly, she didn't care at all that if Gao Changgong also died, all the three heroes of the Qi Kingdom who were powerful in the world back then would be dead, and then their Qi Country would have no famous generals who could resist the attacks of Zhou and Chen!

"But this matter has also involved the powerful Du family, General Mu has to deal with it carefully, after all, the power of the Du family is too huge, and I believe that the Du family can survive in the troubled times for hundreds of years, from the former Wei State to the current Qi State, the Shi family has been standing strong, and the status is very strong, there must be more than just Gao Changgong alone, maybe they also have dealings with generals in other places who hold military power! If you make this matter too big when dealing with Gao Changgong, it will be difficult to clean up the mess at that time! Xiao Yao reminded.

Because Xiao Yao knew that if Gao Wei offended the Du family, a wealthy scholar family that was deeply rooted in the Hebei region, and hurt their fundamental interests, then these wealthy families with some broad connections would definitely unite and jointly deal with the Gao family! Because for these wealthy families in North China, changing someone to be the emperor, or even changing the royal family, is actually equivalent to being sensible and changing a CEO!

Moreover, Xiao Yao's current purpose is only to get rid of Gao Changgong, and he doesn't want to see turmoil in the Qi Kingdom, because he also needs the Qi State to persist in the situation of the Three Kingdoms, so that Xiao Yao can obtain greater benefits in the struggle between the three countries and realize his desire to sweep the Northern and Southern Dynasties and dominate the world!

So now Xiao Yao has to deliberately remind Mu Tipo that he needs to take a good grasp of proportion, and when dealing with Gao Changgong, don't annoy the Du family!
