"When the Great Qi is truly rejuvenated, I don't know if I have any hope to see it." After the excitement, Huang Yuandu was boundless lonely and let out a long sigh.

Looking at his father, who still had a heart of a thousand miles but was a little sad, Huang Song suddenly felt ridiculous. His father was a nobleman, but he was so restrained that he had to turn white at the age of fifty-four. There is no so-called heart to serve the country, but it is difficult to bear the cypress, and it is still subject to the influence of everyone in Jiangnan. Now, it is a bit funny that he still has the heart to mention the matter of recovering the land of the former dynasty.

Huang Yuandu drank half a cup of wine in the cup, was silent for a long time, and said quietly, "It is difficult to take charge of the army. As a last resort, I asked Dark Eagle to cooperate with Wanyan Yudu, intending to use the power of the Jin Army to consume the strength of the Great Qi Army. In this way, we will have more opportunities to take control of the military more quickly. Wan Yan Yu is ruthless and greedy, and he is ruthless and martial, just like another abolished emperor Wan Yan Liang. If Daikin is under his control, it will definitely not last long. I'm not worried that Daqi will destroy the country because of this. Not only that, together with the war, we will have the opportunity to truly return the various operations controlled by the Jiangnan families to the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Yuandu shook his head again, "This plan is a plan to kill two birds with one stone to solve the two troubles of Daqi. It wasn't a ploy I came up with, but in the end I agreed to it. At that time, I thought about it for three whole days before I made an estimate, and I expected that even if the Jin soldiers could cross the Yellow River in the south, it would be difficult to cross the Yangtze River moat. However, with the flames of war, the lives are devastated, and I, Huang Yuandu, will also be a sinner in history, this plan is like betraying the country! Huang Yuandu's face showed a look of pain, "At that time, Long Yi obeyed my order and went north to Dajin to express his friendship to Wanyan Yudu. This is not all about implementing this 'killing two birds with one stone', but also to form a good relationship, and after the war starts, there is room for peace with Wan Yanyu. As soon as Long Yi left, I regretted it and wanted to send someone to chase Long Yi back, but I didn't catch up. I, Huang Yuandu, have been for the country all my life, and it is really difficult to deserve the name of this traitor! ”

Huang Yuandu stretched out his hand and pulled the tin pot and drank a big gulp. Huang Song hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from Huang Yuandu's hand.

"Father, at that time, the call for Wanyan Yudu to succeed to the throne was far better than that Wanyan Yusheng, and the main battle force of Dajin was very clear about going south, so we just took advantage of the situation."

"Yes, go with the flow! Go with the flow! Huang Yuandu repeated, as if finding relief from this sentence, and then sighed, "It's a pity, it fell short, Long Er, Long San died, and Jiao Da Jiao Er also died." Even you almost got stuck in Dajin and couldn't come back. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. It seems that God does not want me to bear this charge of attracting enemies into the country. ”

Huang Song pouted secretly, what kind of traitor is this? It's just a clever way to follow the trend. Heroes only talk about success or failure, and thinking about what to do so much will only increase their troubles. Huang Song naturally couldn't say what he thought, he just comforted, "Father, you have to be favored by God, and you will definitely be able to make your wishes come true." ”

"I hope so." Huang Yuandu answered in a muffled voice, and went to get the wine jug again. Seeing this, Huang Song hurriedly hid the wine jug behind him, "Father, don't just drink wine, but also use some food." Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will hurt you. ”

Huang Yuandu was stunned for a moment, retracted his hand, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and put it in his mouth.

Huang Song breathed a sigh of relief. I've never seen my father lose his temper like today, maybe he was stimulated by that Song Xiaolang. Fortunately, my father has always been a very self-controlled person, and he did not insist on drinking anymore.

After eating two pieces of pastries and a few spoonfuls of greens, Huang Yuandu has fully recovered. "Wanyan Yusheng is much more difficult to deal with than Wanyan Yudu, Dajin has quickly cleaned up the chaos of the palace and stabilized the situation in the past year. Its use of people and various means also impressed me. If he intends to go south, then he is in danger of losing his country. ”

"Then we have to wait until he enters Guanzhong. When I was in Dajin, I heard that Yan Yusheng was extremely unfriendly with Western Xia, and he once wrote to Wan Yan Yong, and advocated Guanzhong first. In addition, Xiao Jun is in charge of the military and has helped him ascend the throne, so he won't go south, right? ”

Huang Yuandu shook his head, although his son is extremely smart and has a lot of means to do things, but in the overall situation, he is a little worse.

"Judging from this year, Wanyan Yusheng can be regarded as a hero who is not inferior to Wanyan Jing. This kind of person thinks about state affairs and rarely mixes personal grievances. If Yan Yusheng wants to go south soon, it must be impossible. It will take another year or two for him to really get hold of Daikin. Of course, compared with Dajin, the national strength and military strength are only strong and not weak, and if Wanyan Yusheng does not join forces with Western Xia, it will be difficult to conquer Daqi. At present, there is no sign of Daikin and Xixia joining forces, and it does not mean that they will not join forces in the future. The old emperor of Western Xia has been declining, and there has been news of his illness twice in the past year, and he must have passed away soon. In this case, Wanyan Yusheng should not have invaded the south in recent years. After that, it's hard to say. ”

"Without Daikin's external force, I don't know how my father is going to act? Where does the Dark Eagle go from here? "It's rare that Huang Yuandu can open his mind and reveal so many things to himself today, Huang Song has to try his best to inquire more, so as not to be reprimanded by his father again.

Huang Yuandu seemed to have regained his self-confidence, "In the past few years, we have also cooperated with Xiao Hui a few times, and the future strategy is actually very simple, that is, to exchange political power for military power, as for whether to change it or not, it depends on how the chips are." Of course, it also depends on Jiao'er's meaning. It is up to her to mediate. ”

Huang Song suddenly brightened, and when he contacted the big and serious troubles that his father said, Huang Song couldn't help but secretly sigh at his father's wrist. Military power and political power are currently represented by Xiao Jun and Huang Yuandu. There were many soldiers in Daqi, which accounted for more than 40% of Daqi's tax revenue. Even so, it was still not enough, and the problem of money always plagued the Taiwei Mansion. In addition, Huang Yuandu occasionally used some small tricks to delay or even withhold the silver supplied to the military, which made Xiao Hui scratch his head. Of course, Huang Yuandu also has a limit, neither letting you eat completely full, nor letting you go hungry, like walking a tightrope, compromising with Xiao Jun to this day.

Huang Yuandu's methods are clever, and the salary of the border army is generally not owed for too long, after all, the border army is external. Even if he had an idea, he had made a move at Shuguan. After all, the threat of the Outer Shu Kingdom was much smaller than that of Dajin and Western Xia.

Huang Yuandu was also helpless. Taizu founded the country, with the help of the financial and material support of the Jiangnan family, so the tax rate was set relatively low, from the middle of Taizong, several Zaifu several times wanted to increase the commercial tax, but subject to the Jiangnan family, and could not be implemented. Therefore, Huang Yuandu can only pick and squirm and live tightly.

Since the military suffers from this, it has the intention of reaching out to the political power, and only by cultivating its own official representatives in the imperial court and local governments can it hope to ensure the payment of salaries. And Huang Yuandu also wants to infiltrate in the direction of military power, and the two sides have the possibility of cooperative transactions.

Now, that's even more likely. Since everyone in Jiangnan was greedy, Huang Yuandu consciously let in the military's spokesperson officials to compete with the representative officials of the Jiangnan family, and Huang Yuandu could sit back and collect the surplus profits.

It's like the establishment of the Metropolitan Guard. The Metropolitan Guard was extremely difficult at first, and the root cause was the lack of expenses. Huang Yuandu has made several connections to the Jiangnan families, but with little success. Those big families, focused on making money, how can they care if you Huang Yuandu builds an army or not? Besides, there are enough redundant troops in Daqi, wouldn't it cost you more money to build another army? In desperation, Lu Junqing commanded the national dark eagle and used disgraceful means to loot and extort the wealth of the wealthy people. Coupled with the secret collection of King Lu that he got at the beginning, he finally established the Duwei Army and became an existence no less than the city guard.

In order for the Duwei Army to be incorporated into the formal military system, it needs to trade with the Taiwei Mansion, that is, it needs to go through the nod of the cypress. After several secret contacts, coupled with the reconciliation of the Queen Mother Huang Jiao, the deal was completed. Huang Yuandu gave up the position of the right attendant of the household department, and agreed that this position would always be held by someone recommended by the military, which allowed the Duwei Army to correct its name. The right waiter of the household is a very high position, only under the use of the book of the household, a little higher than the left waiter Xu Yinshun.

It's a simple process, but it's been a lot of deliberation. It took a lot of effort just to convince the household department to use the book. Fortunately, Ji Yong and Huang Yuandu are fellow scholars, and they have the friendship of the township party, plus they promoted a person from the Ji family to serve as the pacification envoy of Guangnan East Road, and finally finalized the matter. It's too complex to describe in words.

According to Huang Yuandu's meaning, if you want to continue to reach out to military power in the future, you need to come up with more positions. Although this kind of mutual infiltration is a danger of party strife, it is also a good strategy for the current situation in Daqi.

The correct name of the Dark Eagle will definitely follow this path. Huang Song just didn't know what kind of means his father would come up with to facilitate this.

Huang Yuandu saw that Huang Song had an understanding, so he didn't continue to talk about it, and began to eat in a big gulp. He was not good at drinking in the first place, but now he doesn't grab the wine jug, and just eats like this.

Soon, the father and son finished eating. The maidservant brought new tea and withdrew as usual.

"It's coming soon, I'll tell you again, Dark Eagle's actions must be cautious, don't make up your own mind about everything, and discuss it with Lu Junqing more. It's like two dark eagles chasing and killing one person, don't have it anymore. You also happened to take advantage of this time to learn more about the purple eagle-level characters in the dark eagle, and strive to make the dark eagle like an arm in a short period of time. ”

"Respect the child!" Huang Song hurriedly responded.

Huang Yuandu looked at his son and nodded slightly. Huang Yuandu didn't know about the dark eagle chasing and killing Song Zheng at first, and Huang Song didn't tell him. Huang Yuandu handed over the dark eagle to Huang Song to preside, just because Lu Junqing was getting old and needed to find a successor. Lu Junqing recommended Huang Song. Of course, before Huang Song really took full control of the dark eagle, Lu Junqing still had to get on the horse and help him for a ride. Huang Yuandu originally didn't pay much attention to Song Zheng, however, as Song Zheng made great progress in the martial arts competition, Huang Yuandu also paid attention to it. Only then did he get detailed information about Song Zheng from Dark Eagle.

Huang Yuandu drank a cup of tea and said slowly, "Okay, you go, I'm going to rest for a while." ”

Huang Song got up and refilled a cup of tea for his father, bowed and walked out. Walking to the door, Huang Yuandu's calm and abnormal voice came from behind him, "Song Jue's father and son came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit me, you pick some details and spread them." As for which ones to choose, how to say it, it must be difficult for you. In addition, your eldest brother's fox friends and dogs, you also consciously spread it to them, and they must be happy to spread these too. ”

Huang Song was stunned, and then became overjoyed. Father's trick is really vicious! No! It's high, it's too high!
