Chapter 335: The Longest Day (19)
Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, after all, is the political center of the entire Hexi, compared to Duan Ye's mansion in Dunhuang, of course, it is much more magnificent, and even the appearance is like this, really walking in and taking a look, it makes Duan Ye feel extremely shocked.
Golden! Looking at it, it is all a golden feeling, resplendent with gold, colorful and sprinkled with gold, almost everywhere is decorated, there is gold, Duan Ye and others saw it, and couldn't help but smack their tongues, this stroke is really too big.
Duan Ye saw it, and he was also touched, he asked Steward Lu beside him, and said, "Are these all there originally, or did Lu Guang redecorate them himself?"
"My lord, it was Lu Guang who did it himself, and his predecessor assassinated Shi Liangxi, who was not luxurious and didn't like waste, would definitely not do this." Steward Lu didn't expect that within a few days, he would be able to return to this familiar place, this fate is really elusive. โ
"Hehehe, interesting, interesting." Duan Ye pursed his lips.
Hu Kai said: "My lord, this Lu Guang is too high-profile, so much gold, if it is used to buy the dead and appease the subordinates, can we have a chance today, but it is not necessarily, so much money, life can not be used up, death cannot be taken away, no matter how luxurious the house is, what is the use?"
"The truth is always the truth, but if people follow the reason, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago!" Duan Ye said.
Chu Yunshen came back at this time and said, "My lord, the Assassin's Mansion has been emptied, except for some servants who have been tied up, we haven't found anyone else."
Duan Ye immediately became serious and said, "What about Lu Guang? Did he go looking for his study?"
Chu Yunshen lowered his head and muttered a few words, and said, "Go, the books, calligraphy and paintings, literature and so on in the study are all there, but there is really no one."
"Let's go!"
Everyone came to Lu Guang's study, and it can be seen that Lu Guang is still a person who pays attention to taste, his study is neat and simple, and there are many books. Moreover, as soon as he entered the study, there was a smell of ink, and there was a post on the table that Lu Guang had just finished practicing.
"Look, sir." Chu Yunshen took an envelope with the words "Duan Ye personally opened", and Duan Ye recognized that this was Lu Guang's handwriting.
"Well, it seems that this lord left me a letter."
"Your Excellency." Cui Hao said, "Be careful of poison on the letter!"
Duan Ye's hand about to open the letter stopped, this kind of horror story, Duan Ye has seen it, the ancients often poisoned the envelope, because many people like to use their fingers to spitle first when opening the letter, so that the poison will enter the mouth.
It's just that Duan Ye thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "If Lu Guang wants to kill me, there are many ways, even if I enter this assassination mansion, he has a way, and he doesn't have to use such a method."
After speaking, Duan Ye directly opened the envelope.
Inside was a thick stack of stationery.
At the beginning, it was "Shimin, I didn't expect that this time it was you, this letter was actually written for you, have you forgotten, you are my righteous son, counting, this is not a minister killing a king, a father and a son?"
Although these words were sharp and harsh, Duan Ye did not see much from it, but saw a hint of banter, it seems that Lu Guang is an atmospheric person in the end, and he is not in a childish mood because he is on the opposite side of him.
Next, Lu Guang talked about his mental journey in detail, Lu Guang has always known that Lu Su and Lu Shao are not going to deal with each other, and he also knows that both of them want to sit in their own chairs, Lu Guang thinks that the two sons have their own abilities and advantages, but in Lu Guang's view, their temperament and ability are not enough to sit firmly in the position of Liangzhou Thorn History.
Lu Guang said in the letter that this Liangzhou Thorn History, it seems that it can be ruled vertically, but in fact, the relationship of interests, intertwined, the contradictions between the Han and Hu people, the contradictions between Hexi and Hedong, the contradictions between Hexi and Hedong, the contradictions between different sects, and all kinds of contradictions can make people crazy.
But, after all, it is his own son, his own throne, who else can he give if he does not leave it to his own son to sit on? Therefore, Lu Guang has no way, his son is not successful, so he has to hone their skills, so that they can learn how to calculate, how to plan, how to deal with it, and how to turn defeat into victory in an unfavorable situation.
Lu Guang was still in the letter, and he reviewed the relationship between him and Duan Ye, and clearly told Duan Ye that in fact, he knew that there was something wrong with Duan Ye from the beginning, because Lu Guang was a person with a good memory, and he knew that Duan Ye who joined the army in the past was a nerd who was only a promise, and between yฤซ'yรจ, this period of joining the army became shrewd and capable, well-read and knowledgeable, and said a lot of things that he didn't understand. Moreover, whether it is Duan Ye's living habits, walking, talking, or eating postures, there are many things that are obviously wrong, but Lu Guang's people have been checking for a long time, but they can't find anything.
When Duan Ye saw this, his back was also dripping with cold sweat, it turned out that Duan Ye had always thought that he was hiding it well, and it seemed that his own fantasies and many things about himself had already been exposed!
Think about it, how can people who are not in the same era as others at all do nothing?
The luck of Duan Ye is that in history, this Duan Ye is indeed an orphan, and his background is unclear, in other words, he is a black household at all, there is no township party and no relatives, you go to check, of course you can't find anything.
And because Duan Ye proposed the idea of sending an envoy to Lu Guang at the beginning, and relied on his boldness, wisdom and luck to achieve success, this time, Duan Ye became a person with useful value, and Lu Guang naturally would not abolish Duan Ye easily.
As for later, whether it was to give Duan Ye the right to fight, let Duan Ye be a taishou, or even accept Duan Ye as a righteous son, in this letter, Lu Guang made it clear that the purpose was to use Duan Ye as a whetstone to sharpen the two sons of Lu Su and Lu Shao, because Lu Guang believed that as long as Duan Ye was such a diligent, motivated and capable person by his side, his son would definitely be able to become a weapon.
But even Lu Guang didn't expect that the whetstone was so easy to use that it would sometimes break the knife. Regarding the current situation where Duan Ye has achieved a complete advantage in Guzang City, Lu Guang admitted that he did not expect it, and expressed great admiration for Duan Ye's methods, thinking that he was defeated by Duan Ye, and he did not complain at all.
As for the remaining stack of papers, it is some codex written by Lu Guang to Duan Ye, the main content is to tell Duan Ye a lot of details about the need to govern Liangzhou, among the problems listed, some Duan Ye has thought of it, but a lot, if it is not in that position, it is impossible to think of it, Duan Ye read it, and is naturally very grateful.
Closing the letter, Duan Ye let out a long sigh of relief, and at this time, Chu Yunshen came to report and said, "My lord, I found a tunnel in the garden."
"Oh?" Duan Ye raised his eyebrows, "You mean they ran away from the tunnel?"
"Yes." Chu Yunshen nodded, "My lord, forgive us, we found out too late to catch up, and the people who went down said that there were many forks in the tunnel, and I really don't know where they ran from." โ
Steward Lu said at this time: "My lord, there are already tunnels in this mansion, at least when Liang Xi was there, when he captured Guzang. Why didn't Liang Xi run away and let the festival ...... It also made Lu Guang very surprised, after we entered the Assassin Mansion, where was the entrance to this tunnel, and what was the situation inside, only Lu Guang himself knew, and even the old slave didn't know. โ
"Whew." Duan Ye let out a long sigh, "In that case...... Xiao Chu, you don't have to chase it, you are not guilty. โ
"Your Excellency!" Chu Yunshen's face was full of puzzlement.
"Hehehe." Duan Ye said with a smile, "This is Lu Guang's own choice to go, in fact, I can be sure that if he wants to resist, we will probably still be able to win, but we will have to pay extremely heavy casualties, in this way, it is not cost-effective for us, because we are short of time, we must take Gu Zang with the fastest speed and the cleanest method, otherwise we are short of manpower, it is likely that we will not be able to suppress the formation, Lu Guang is gone, that is the best, we go to chase now, it will inevitably cause the trapped beast to fight, that is not good." โ
Cui Hao said approvingly: "What the adults said is extremely true."
"Hmm." Duan Ye said, "Xiao Chu, send someone to seal the tunnel entrance, and at the same time block the news, don't tell others that Lu Guang and the others are walking through the tunnel." โ
"Yes." Chu Yunshen happily returned to his life.
Looking at the sky, the sky was getting darker, and the sun was already near the western horizon, and it seemed that it was about to go down.
"Look." Duan Ye pointed to the sky, "Just a year ago, Lu Guang was still the governor of the Western Empire, the envoy of the festival, the history of Liangzhou, and his prestige was unparalleled for a while, at that time, how could we dare to have any disrespect for him?" But in less than 1 year, Lu Guang has been declining, and now he is nowhere to be found, hehehe, this fate is very unpredictable. โ
"My lord, this is an adult's strategy to win a thousand miles." Cui Hao patted a fart at the right time.
Of course, everyone loves to listen to sycophants, Duan Ye smiled and said, "You can't say that, it's your credit."
"I can't wait!"
"If you don't dare, you have to dare!" Duan Ye said with a straight face, but it made everyone laugh.
But Duan Ye continued, "Liangzhou, it must not be our end, everyone, you have to take a long-term view, from now on, our vision must be on the whole world!"
Cui Hao and the others looked at Duan Ye adoringly, and their hearts were surging.
World, here we come!
