After Yang Ye left, Wang Pu's face was worried, and he muttered: "The old minister always feels uneasy about this matter. ”

Guo Shao observed Wang Pu's face, looked out the window again, and exhaled. The weather in the north at the end of March is when it is neither hot nor cold, and even the Hedong area has a humid feeling, which is very comfortable; The war in Jinyang is over, and although it is full of holes, it is very quiet. But Guo Shao's heart still couldn't relax, especially when making such an important decision...... At this time, the big decision of the militarist state is really a matter of his words.

He asked in a soothing tone, "Is Yang Ye willing to rebel?" ”

Wang Pu pondered for a while, and shook his head without hesitation: "At least now Yang Ye is unwilling to rebel, the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han) is destroyed, and the Great Zhou is strong, and there is no benefit for him to oppose the Great Zhou; What's more, His Majesty has the grace of forgiveness and knowledge for him, and morally he is not willing to easily turn his back on His Majesty. ”

Guo Shao asked again: "Even if he rebels, does he have a chance to succeed?" ”

Wang Pu said: "No." Jinyang Xiongcheng must not be handed over to the Hedong people, and officials appointed by the imperial court in various places should implement state and county governance. As long as there is no major event in the world, Hedong still wants to sit on the big side, and there is no chance. Defending no barriers, turf, and attacking the main force of the Great Zhou is by no means the opponent of the Great Zhou forbidden army. ”

Guo Shao said: "I let Yang Ye be the main general, he can use his own people; But lieutenant generals and military generals at all levels were appointed by the imperial court. Unless he suddenly launched a mutiny, he would not be able to carry out any military orders and actions that were not subordinate. The specific operation of the rebellion is often constrained and very difficult.

Yang Ye first didn't want to rebel, and even if he rebelled, he would have no chance. Then why don't we let a capable general lead the Hedong Army? ”

Wang Pu nodded, and said with a straight face: "The reason why the minister is not at ease is that now our way of occupying Hedong is very thorough: to destroy it with a large army. There is every chance to stabilize the layout at the very beginning, without giving any chance of forming a warlord. Of course, Yang Ye would not act rashly when the Great Zhou subdued the Quartet, and he had no chance; He wouldn't even think about it. But if there is a shock in the world, he is a hidden danger of a warlord. ”

Guo Shao carefully savored Wang Pu's words, and said with a smile: "However, with Yang Ye, the combat effectiveness of the Hedong Army is stronger, and it is more beneficial to the Great Zhou Army. ”

There are pros and cons, Wang Pu is no longer silent.

Guo Shao looked at Wang Pu and said, "One person can't step into the same river twice. ”

Wang Pu looked at him in a daze. Before Guo Shao ascended the throne, Wang Pu had a friendship with him, and now only Wang Pu can occasionally look at him like this.

……

After Yang Ye returned home, he told his family about the results of the face, and the women and slaves in the family were all happy, and they were all happy that the Yang family had found a new way out. Yang Ye had a straight face, he was not displeased, but he was not very easy to show.

As a general of the Northern Han Kingdom, it seems that it is not very good to celebrate with a crown after surrendering.

Yang Ye then went to see the red warbler, and it was still in the wing where the red warbler lived. At this time, although the house is not as flowery as the south, the peach trees and apricot trees in the yard are blooming, and the willows are growing tender green branches and leaves, which look red, red, green and green are quite vibrant; Dotted between the brick houses on the top of the hard hill with short eaves, don't use the scenery, it's beautiful.

Unexpectedly, the red warbler had red eyes when she saw it, turned her head sideways and secretly wiped her tears.

She probably already knew that Yang Ye had been appointed by Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan as the commander of the Hedong Army. Yang Ye thought about it, she probably cried because of parting...... Yang Ye officially joined the Great Zhou, Hongying's mission has been completed, and his identity has long been exposed. It was useless for her to stay, and it was time to go back to where she had been sent.

Yang Yedao: "There is no banquet in the world, so don't be too sad, just be well." ”

The red warbler cried even more fiercely when she heard this, and cried with a handkerchief covering her face.

Yang Ye could feel that she was really sad at the moment. Don't talk about a woman, even his heart is sour. In a few months, the ears and temples are grinding, and the skin is on a blind date, and I am always a little reluctant.

This red warbler set up a situation to deceive herself at the beginning, and Yang Ye kept her, but also to leave a way back for herself, and she didn't want to offend the Great Zhou court, each with her own needs. But now, he still can't help but think of her gentleness, her accommodation, her intimate and soft words, the gentleness like water, and the things between the bed, which are incomparable to ordinary people. Although Yang Ye has everything, there is still little joy in his daily life, and he is nostalgic for those little by little...... Even if the red warbler is not born, or even just a disability.

"Ugh." Yang Ye sighed deeply.

This sigh was filled with sorrow. The red warbler suddenly threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, crying bitterly, the tears soon wet Yang Ye's clothes, her soft body was trembling, and the sound was simply sad for the listener to cry. She hugged Yang Ye tightly, and the strength shown by her weak body seemed to be a breath, conveying her heart-wrenching reluctance.

Yang Ye couldn't help but raise his hand, held her in his arms, and sat there stunned without saying a word.

He suddenly thought: The Great Zhou Emperor met him for the first time, but he handed over all the military power of the Hedong Army to himself, is he really relieved? This red warbler is a fine work of Zhou Guo, and if he takes the initiative to stay by his side, he is also frank and loyal. The red warbler also has a reason to stay...... It is equivalent to the existence of the internal affairs supervision army.

Yang Ye weighed it for a while, and said, "If you are really reluctant, why don't you stay?" ”

The red warbler choked up and said, "What's the use of me staying? ”

Yang Ye said: "Yang is the same as he is on the outside, frank and open, I don't care about your identity." ”

The red warbler did not speak for a long time.

Yang Ye held her shoulders, let her head leave his chest, and frowned at her face: "You don't want to?" ”

The red warbler has a difficult face, and it is noncommittal.

Yang Ye thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The Great Zhou court promised you glory and wealth?" ”

Hongying said: "How can a person like me be prosperous and rich......"

But Yang Ye can imagine that if the court of the Zhou State did not give her enough benefits, she would be willing to travel thousands of miles to sell her body? What's more, in this place in Hedong, where a spy has such a dangerous job, how can a woman easily serve the government?

Hongying is definitely not a good girl, and she is disabled and has almost no ability to survive. But once she has property and connections in Tokyo, she will be able to live well in a city like Tokyo, at least she can buy some property and hire some slaves...... At least it will be much better than being someone's slave and concubine, and pleasing others to mermaid meat.

"The concubine must obey Shangfeng's orders and has to leave the Yang family." Hongying pursed her lips, her eyes were still red, "General Yang treats me well, the concubine will definitely remember that the concubine's heart is General Yang's." ”

Yang Ye shook his head and laughed, "A woman like you...... Doesn't belong to anyone, at least not mine. I can't even possess my body, how can I think of anything? ”

Hongying's face was a little ashamed, and she said angrily: "What do you mean?" In your heart, I'm not ...... unbearable."

Yang Ye was suddenly a little annoyed, and said, "Anyway, it's different from the woman of the good family." Let's go on your own. Isn't that groom your man? ”

The red warbler was suddenly ashamed and angry, her face was red and white for a while, and she was so angry that her body trembled: "Okay, okay...... I know that General Yang is now promoted, and the officials are all courteous, so I don't need me anymore. That's it. ”

Yang Ye didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves and got up.

Hongying said sadly: "General Yang! Do you really think that the concubine's treatment of you is all fake? ”

Yang Ye turned around and said: "It was fake at the beginning, and that's it after all." ”

When he walked to the door, he heard the red warbler choking sadly: "You never treat women as human beings!" We are just a thing that can be occupied, you only care about yourself, how can you think about it for us......"

After Yang Ye walked out, he glanced sideways at the red warbler. He did hurt her, and at this time, Hongying's face was sluggish, as if she had no nostalgia, which was really pitiful.

However, Yang Ye didn't go back, it's not that he hasn't seen the concubine women, according to Yang Ye's opinion, they are soft-hearted and vulnerable, but they are still getting better quickly.

……

Guo Shao worked hard in the Xingyuan study for a long time, put down the brush and looked at it, and then sat on the chair and slowly sorted out the paper. There are still many things to deal with in Hedong, but it is just right to leave the army in Jinyang for the time being, because the Liao army is still facing each other at Xinkou.

What he had just written was a letter to the Imperial Court in Tokyo, and the governance of various parts of Hedong required the deployment and dispatch of officials by the Imperial Court; Moreover, it is also necessary for Fu Jinzhan and Zhengshitang to know the emperor's strategic intentions.

When he had finished one thing, he would sometimes wander away, and sometimes he would slowly do some business. Guo Shao's life and work have a whole set of his own methods, he can't maintain a high level of tension day and night, but he will spend time every day to really do some useful practical things...... His philosophy is that to do anything well, it takes time to soak in it.

At this moment, he stretched out his hand and found that there was no water in the teacup. As soon as he put down the teacup, he saw a jade hand put a cup of tea next to him and took away the empty teacup.

Guo Shao raised his head and glanced at Jing Niang, and said with a smile: "I think you are very simple and refreshing, but your heart is still quite fine." ”

Jing Niang didn't say anything, just did her own chores.

Guo Shao said casually: "You are attentive to me." ”

Jing Niang glanced at him after hearing this, and finally got in the mood to speak, so she said: "The people in Chen Jiali's family are all like!" I think she taught it. ”

Guo Shao was stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly scold her again, I know that you have always had prejudices against Mrs. Shen." ”

Jing Niang said: "The red warbler is back." ”

Guo Shao said suddenly: "She has no credit and hard work, and the reward promised by Bing Cao Si still has to be fulfilled in full." ”

He picked up the brush and wrote two words "quasi-playing" on a document played in the army, raised the brush and thought about it, and said: "Women always think about how to live, and today's women in the world are still vassals of men, so it is even more difficult to live." You also thought about it for others a little and figured it out. A husband can't be a saint, so why do you want a woman to be a saint? ”

Jing Niang said: "Then why does the government continue to reward women's virtues? ”

Guo Shao said casually: "Father and son have relatives, monarchs and ministers have righteousness, husbands and wives are different, young and old are orderly, and friends have letters." I am the lord of the world, why should I shake the original moral order of the world? After shaking, what to replace? ”
