Gao Fangping said: "It's very simple, the persimmon is soft." He is more tired than anyone else, and his official reputation is worse than anyone else, and killing this kind of person will bring the least hatred value, but the most popularity. It's all about interests, and of course you have to weigh the pros and cons of cutting people. First of all, if you want to kill the people in Li Yan's camp, then you have to ask Li Yan Xiangye if he agrees, the people in their camp have a characteristic that their official reputation is relatively good, so although killing them is also a deterrent, but the hatred value of pulling down is too great, plus killing the so-called good officials, the popularity will also be reduced to a negative value. What's more, if you want to kill them and you can't be stopped, it means that you lose to Li Yan, then your prestige will be hit again. Xiao Xiang, how much prestige do you have to squander? One thing you need to know is that as a prime minister, you must make a difference, and relying on the emperor's faith to obtain the phase, in fact, the power is limited. ”

Xiao said with some interest: "Go on." ”

Gao Fang said calmly: "So the resistance to the death of Yikun Hou is the least, his official reputation is so bad, if you want public opinion to have public opinion, the judicial reasons are even more or less." There will be no resistance from Li Yan's camp to kill him, this is speaking, on the contrary, it is your reputation for righteous annihilation, Xiao Xiang does not need to hesitate, a follower like Yikunhou may not be good for you, but there is a lot of harm, in fact, there is nothing new under the sun, and your prestige is lost bit by bit by these followers who do not have much use. Killing this kind of person will always be prestige for the prime minister, a political achievement, and a responsibility for the country and the people. ”

“……”

Lao Xiao really didn't care about the life or death of Yikun Hou's mallet. However, how simple it is to say that killing people is, in fact, they have to face a lot of resistance, and they also have to face the opposition and centrifugation of their other followers.

But to a certain extent, Lao Xiao also felt that Gao Fangping had said the key, his followers may not be useful, but the negative impact has always been great. The pros and cons of this cannot be quantified or calculated clearly for a while.

So Xiao's inner bottom was always silent.

Gao Fangping said: "In fact, I am too concerned about the life and death of Marquis Yikun, and hacking him to death is just a suggestion I give to my allies." So that's all for this, and let's talk about the three Korean princes. ”

Xiao's Lidi nodded slightly, "Yes, the old man has always wondered in his heart, how did he offend you, King of Goryeo." It's okay to instigate my granddaughter to beat the Marquis of Yikun, but he is my Liaochen, and the old man can still hold it, and the chaos he can bring is limited. However, this king of Goryeo, although he was a weak country and had no human rights, was after all an envoy who came to Beijing to participate in the alliance. If the Great Liao State can't even maintain the face of the envoy, how can it be trusted? ”

Gao Fangping said: "Foreign interests are important, but domestic political issues are more important. This Wang Yu is a person invited by Li Yanxiangye, and their purpose is not a secret, they want to cause chaos for you, embarrass the Jurchen Ministry, and then put pressure on the Liao Emperor. “

It's not that Lao Xiao doesn't understand these truths, but he hasn't had time to think about them before, so he said, "Nephew Xian, let's talk about it specifically." ”

Gao Fangping said, "The ambition of the Jurchen, you know it in your own heart. They were accustomed to the wilderness, and they were also poor, and under your warning, they did not dare to fight to the west, so they fought to the east of the Yalu River. Xiao Xiang, I have to be fair in this matter, it is not right to fight a bone, it is a wolf's ambition. He didn't collect protection money, he really raised troops to attack the city and plunder the land. The Jurchen is a subordinate of the Great Liao, and Goryeo is a subject of the Great Liao, and the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, so strictly speaking, at the political level, the Jurchens are already a kind of rebellion. ”

Lao Xiao said embarrassedly: "It's serious what you said." ”

Gao Fangping said: "It's not that I'm serious, but it's Li Yan's rhetoric, and that's how the so-called Jurchen threat theory comes from." It is true that the Liao Emperor was full of fun and did not think about folk affairs and suffering, and the Jurchen's behavior towards Goryeo was always interpreted as 'tribal friction' and 'folk horse thief robbery' under the stability of Xiao Xiang, who covered the sky with your own hand, and in this period when the Liao Emperor trusted you, the Jurchen's rebellion became a tribal friction behavior. Then the Liao Emperor has been deceived, and you have maintained your stability until now, which gives you a false impression that you can be suppressed forever. ”

Xiao's face was slightly red, in fact, Gao Fangping was on point. Strictly speaking, if the behavior of the Jurchens is serious, if the right to speak is in Li Yan, it is a rebellion. It's a pity that it is because my Lao Xiao supported them in the first three rows, so his Jurchen Department is like a gangster with a protective umbrella, and he can not be arrested by the government.

The principle is the same, except that the tribe is replaced by an individual, and the imperial court is replaced by a county government.

Gao Fangping continued: "The energy will not disappear, it will only accumulate and transfer, and it is a fact that the Jurchen Department is attacking the city in Goryeo, burning, killing and looting. In the past, you could suppress it, because the weak country had no right to speak, and the king of Goryeo was like the persecuted Miba in the slums. It's a pity that this matter has not been resolved, it has been accumulating. Then at this juncture, everything is happening at the same time, and your Xiao Xiang's influence is weakening for various reasons. So Li Yan and they specially invited the three Korean princes to come at this time, of course, for a reason. Because this is an opportunity for them, what they couldn't do in the past doesn't mean they can't do it now. ”

"Go on." Xiao's eyes narrowed.

Gao Fangping said: "There is a theorem that the weak person crys, as long as he has the ability to cry out and let everyone know, then the weak party has a high probability of winning sympathy regardless of whether it is reasonable or not." At this juncture, many suspected rebellions occurred, and the Song and Liao almost fought a full-scale war, and the Liao Emperor's hunting patrol was disturbed. Therefore, at this time, the Liao Emperor was in a bad mood and was particularly sensitive to 'military affairs'. Then according to the theorem that the weak cry is likely to win sympathy, Li Yan and they invited the king of Goryeo to go to Beijing to cry at this time is an opportunity, only this is the case when many moths attack, your old Xiao has not been able to deal with it, the Liao emperor is in a bad mood, and the Liao emperor questions your ability, once you really let the king of Goryeo sue the emperor as a weak person, the problem will be big. I don't dare to say that the Liao Emperor will let Xiao Xiang fall out of favor for this one thing, but now that the Jurchen threat theory has long been popular, and the Liao Emperor's personality is like a child rather than an old and spicy politician, so whether you accept it or not, I dare to conclude that the Liao Emperor has a taboo heart towards the Jurchens, and it is irreversible. ”

Xiao's face was pale, and he finally felt that something was wrong. Maybe Gao Fangping is exaggerating, but this logic really exists. Lao Xiao has always promoted the Jurchen Ministry, and the Jurchen Ministry is just like those two little gentlemen, who have made a big deal and have been known by His Majesty, my Lao Xiao will indeed not fall out of favor at one time, but just like Cai Jing in the Southern Dynasty, in fact, his character is lost bit by bit.

Gao Fangping continued: "You know better than me what the character of Emperor Liao is, he is not a mature emperor, he has no city, as long as he is unhappy, he will definitely have a moth during the alliance, so that Ah Gu will not be able to come to power." ”

Xiao nodded helplessly.

Gao Fangping said: "Then it's not a big deal. But I have to ask, you know better the character of the group of ruthless people in the Jurchen Department, as soon as the Liao Emperor does not give them face and become taboo, he will lose his temper with a bone, and there are so many precedents for the rebellion of your Great Liao tribe that can be emulated, Xiao Xiang, you know better than me what will happen next. Maybe I'm a little alarmist, but you have to admit that there is a probability that what I'm talking about exists, and that's politics. ”

Xiao's heart is very helpless, just like Cai Jing of the Southern Dynasty was tied up by countless traitors to throw rat bogeys, if Gao Fangping really said this, there is no doubt that my old Xiao will be tied up by the hooligan of Ah Guda, and he will also throw rat bogeys, and in the end, if there is a problem with the Jurchen Ministry, then my Lao Xiao's last political assets will be lost, even if the Liao Emperor does not speak, he is really embarrassed to continue to stay on the stage and lose face, if he doesn't get out, are he still waiting to receive the reward?

After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that he had fallen into a dead loop, so Lao Xiao jumped out of the loop and said vigilantly: "So after talking about it for a long time, your conclusion is: You arrested the king of Goryeo and hanged him for the sake of my old Xiao?" ”

Gao Fangping said embarrassedly: "Yes, I will conclude this, but you still have to listen to my next reasons." ”

Lao Xiao hesitated for a while and said, "The virtuous nephew continued. ”

Gao Fangping said: "Hanging Wang Yu is a simple and rough display of muscles, which means a threat, just like your gold medal follower Yikun Hou bullying the common people directly: Yes, I crippled your mother but you can't be unhappy, otherwise I will arrest you for revenge, and even be so serious that you will disappear." ”

I'm @#¥

Lao Xiao was also excited when he heard it, and felt that he seemed to be really a little crazy?

Gao Fangping said embarrassedly: "Xiangye, I don't mean to offend, but your group of followers, such as Yikun Hou, really did this, and he did so much without accident, which proves that this method is very effective." This kind of naked and evidenceless means of maintaining stability can also make the Bao Zheng of the Liao State at a loss, so it is Miba and her mother who are crying blind, no, it is the weak King of Goryeo who is crying blind. ”

Lao Xiao added his mouth and said, "Why do you think that the king of Goryeo will not hold a blood book to block the road and shout grievances like a fierce commoner?" ”

Gao Fangping said: "Because he doesn't dare." The so-called persimmon is looking for a soft pinch, and I personally clash with them in the battle of Drunken Fengxuan, I have seen through how cowardly and stupid he is, just his Wang Mata's shemale style, no wonder he wants to be bullied by Ah Gu without temper, people are like sheep, and they will be bullied. Thinking that if a backbone person holds a bloody letter to sue the emperor and risks being harmonized, Wang Yu is really not that character. Especially now that you are killing chickens and respecting monkeys, if you kill the Marquis of Yikun, and then accidentally send the literature that recorded the death of the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia to Wang Yu to watch, he will definitely not dare to have any plans to sue again. ”

Xiao's inner bottom felt that this was too unauthentic, but after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't have discipline from this angle, no wonder he Xiao Gao could always mix like a fish in water.

"Okay, the old man can do it, but are you really sure that this will solve the unfavorable remarks of the 'Jurchen rebellion'?" Lao Xiao looked a little excited.

"All right." Gao Fangping said with a smile, "However, I strongly recommend that you once again do not make peace with the mud, and slaughter the Marquis of Yikun with your hands, then it is called stability, that is called tiger power, and it is called hegemony." Otherwise, people will see that Wang Yu is weak, and someone will bully him, and Ah Gu will not be mad when he sees that you are weak all his life, and he will be even more unscrupulous to cause trouble for you, just like the two spoiled girls hiding under the table. ”

Lao Xiao couldn't help but feel that what he said was too reasonable.

However, the two little gentlemen hiding under the table showed their heads in time and said: "Then, let's talk about it first, you say yours, don't drag us in." ”

As a result, he was kicked back a few times by Lao Xiao.
