Chapter 30: What Do You Think?
Yu Wenwen pretended to be ignorant, Wei Chi Yu laughed loudly again when he heard the words, his beard under his chin trembled, and Bin Cao, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but listen.
"Prime Minister, please take care of your body, don't laugh." Yu Wenwen said with concern on his face.
"You, you" Wei Chi Yu laughed so much that he almost couldn't breathe, and after a pause, he finally calmed down and said with a smile: "Say, what does Yuwen Xingtai want." ”
Yuwen Wen coughed dryly, saying that he came to Yecheng this time to be responsible for catching up with the Son of Heaven, and other affairs were all in charge of the deputy envoy Zheng Wanqing.
"You, you, Xiao Sanniang is afraid that you will be coaxed around."
"The prime minister left his grandson-in-law in Yecheng for a few months, but he couldn't buy many gifts to go back to make amends, but this newcomer didn't know the market and didn't know the depths, so he wanted to help someone who was familiar with the way."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the old man asked Cui Changshi to help you arrange people."
"Also, my grandson-in-law brought a group of rural village elders this time, Ye is so prosperous that he naturally wants to go, but the people from this small place have a short experience, in case he offends a nobleman, something accidentally happens, and I don't know if there is anyone on Cui Changshi's side to help intercede."
"It's all arranged." Wei Chi Yu said, he looked at his son-in-law with interest, as if he was thinking about something, Yu Wenwen felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he quickly provoked the topic to divert the other party's attention.
He asked Gao Baoning in Liaodong what his situation was now, and Wei Chi said disapprerovantly that this person was a man at the end of the road and should not be afraid.
Gao Baoning is also known as Gao Baoning, generation, but the origin is unknown, because of his surname Gao, there are rumors for the Qi clan, Gao Baoning for the Qi State Liaodong Yingzhou Assassin History, six years ago Zhou attacked Qi, Gao Baoning gathered Khitan, more than 10,000 cavalry to prepare to go south to rescue, after hearing that Yecheng had been broken had to stop.
The Youzhou army of Qi who was supposed to rescue Yecheng surrendered to Zhou, so he guarded Yingzhou and fled to Gao Shaoyi, the king of Fanyang, the clan of Qi who was sheltered by the Turks, and collected the remnants of Qi who fled north, which was for the late emperor of Qi, and Gao Shaoyi named Gao Baoning as the prime minister of Qi.
Later, the Turks handed over Gao Shaoyi to the Zhou State for disposal, and Gao Baoning became the last force under the banner of the Qi State, and has been dormant in Liaodong waiting for the situation to change.
"Yuwen Xingtai is worried about the remnants of the Gao family?"
"No, it's the grandson-in-law who is interested, and Gao Baoning is not to be afraid, but Goguryeo to the east should not be underestimated."
"Goguryeo? It seems that he has no westward movement, so I asked him what he was doing. Wei Chi was recalling something, "Could it be that they are worried about their collusion with the Southern Dynasties?" This is a blind worry, they didn't even collude with Liu Song back then. ”
"Son-in-law is just inquiring," Yu Wenwen said with a smile, the purpose of diverting the topic has been achieved.
Khitan, Goguryeo, in the eyes of the forces that are now competing in the Central Plains, is not a big enemy, the current Khitan is only one of the many nomads in the north, and it is not qualified to be taken seriously, and the long-lived Goguryeo, only a unified Central Plains empire will notice his real threat.
Now I think about this kind of thing is really a blind worry, so Yu Wenwen didn't talk about it.
After talking for a while, Bin Cao joined the army and reminded him that the time had come, Yuwenwen saw this and wanted to get up and say goodbye, but Wei Chi Hui asked him to sit down and continue to chat, seeing his uneasy look, the old prime minister smiled: "The old man has not yet reached the point where he will not sit for long." ”
Where is Yuwenwen willing to chat, it takes a lot of energy to deal with this kind of old fox, although the other party didn't embarrass him much, but if he said too much, he would lose, so he wondered if he wanted to urinate.
Sure enough, there was another moth, and the old prime minister suddenly sighed about the incident at the beginning of the second year of the elephant, and when he heard the other party mention that there was an assassin at the palace banquet at the end of February, and the chaos in the palace led to the disappearance of Wei Chi Chifan, Yu Wenwen knew in his heart that it was not good.
"It is said that Xiao Sanniang disappeared that night, and she didn't find it until more than a month later, what happened at that time?"
The faint monarch wanted to force my wife, who is also your granddaughter, and then I stabbed me a few times and didn't die, Yu Chi Chi went out of the palace and hid for more than a month, and waited until the bastard was hacked to death by me before he breathed a sigh of relief, so you are satisfied.
Yu Wenwen said this in his heart, and then sighed with an expression that he couldn't look back on the past, and repeated the original set of words to his father-in-law, but he deliberately memorized this line before he arrived in Yecheng, I don't know how many times, and he had already memorized it backwards.
A lie has to be covered up with more lies, and a temporary lie is basically not right afterwards, so Yu Wenwen has already written down the lines back then, in case someone mentions it, and the preface does not match the afterword in a hurry.
There is no conflict between time, place, and characters, the chain of evidence is complete, and I dare not say it seamlessly, unless you know how to read minds, you don't want to find flaws!
"After Yang Cheng was suddenly attacked, it was said that it was a thunderstorm in the clear sky, and it was also rumored to be a 'catastrophe', and now it seems that it should be the power of thunder." Wei Chi said that what he said just now was just an introduction, in order to lead to the following words.
"At that time, the grandson-in-law was also in Chang'an, and that day Yang reversed the 'tragedy' when he also heard a huge sound, the original grandson-in-law was also confused, and then got the secret recipe of the thunder, and the experiment saw the power before he suddenly realized, I think there must be a righteous person who knows the secret recipe of the thunder, but it fell short."
After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he spread his hands, full of regretful expression, Wei Chi stared at him intently, and after a while, he smiled and asked: "So, you learned that this thundering secret recipe also has the guidance of a master?" ”
"The first emperor dragon controlled Bintian, Yang Shun took the opportunity to usurp power, the virtuous son-in-law and the father and brother were in Anzhou between the wind and rain, and the prime minister raised troops in Yecheng to carry the banner of the Great Zhou, and the Anzhou army was about to fight hard.
"You asked your father-in-law to write a letter to the old man, reminding him to beware of the enemy army attacking the onlookers during the decisive battle of Yecheng, which is also the guidance of the master?"
"The decisive battle of Yecheng? Didn't the prime minister of Yecheng personally rush into battle to turn the tide and defeat the enemy? What did the son-in-law say to his father-in-law, why did the prime minister say this? Yu Wenwen was surprised.
He was gambling, betting that his father-in-law, Wei Chi Shun, did not tell his father Wei Chi Shun the truth.
"Yes, it seems that the old man has thought too much." Wei Chi was thoughtful.
In April of the second year of the elephant, Yu Wenwen took Yu Chi Chi Fan and his brother's family to run away to Anlu, and when he left Chang'an, he asked his father-in-law Wei Chi Shun to write a letter to Wei Chi Shun, who was far away in Yecheng, reminding the other party that there would be a decisive battle outside Yecheng in the future, and the enemy army would definitely attack the Yecheng people who were watching at the scene, resulting in the rout of the Xiangzhou army.
Yu Wenwen asked his father-in-law not to reveal what he said, and he only needed to pretend to be a master for guidance, so three years later, Wei Chi mentioned the old matter again, and he decided to take a gamble and continue to pretend to be stupid.
Your daughter is in my hands, if you betray your son-in-law again, I will let her not sleep at night when I go back!"
Yu Wenwen decided that this kind of thing could not be recognized, in case the old prime minister thought that he was 'wise and close to the demon', and it would not be good to put his grandson-in-law under house arrest or evaporate from the world in order to get rid of future troubles.
"The situation in Shannan, Yuwen Xingtai has reported to the imperial court, but about the war in Chen Guo in Jiangnan, you have experienced a lot, so the old man also wants to hear your opinion, about Chen Guo's opinion."
"Emperor Chen Chen Shubao has no intention of government, and he only knows that he sings poems and drinks and has fun in the garden every day, this must have been known by the prime minister, and his son-in-law is not talented, and he has some opinions on Chen Guo."
Speaking of which, Yuwen Wen came to the spirit, first of all, the strength of the Chen State in Jiangnan stopped at the Yangtze River, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and if he wanted to take it down, he had to be pacified in Jiangbei, that is, he had to solve the Sui State.
After several major defeats last year, Chen Guo may not have the heart to cross the river to the north again, so it is enough to be prepared along the Jiangzhou County, even if the main force of the Chen army is lucky to land, as long as the local governor's office commands properly and mobilizes troops to pull out its foothold in Jiangbei, the other party can only return to the south in disgrace.
"The Yangtze River moat, for both sides, is conducive to defense, not to attack, unless there is an internal problem on one side." Yu Wenwen is talking nonsense, a veteran like Wei Chi Yuan will not understand the difficulty of fighting across the river, but since the other party has mentioned it, he must seize the opportunity.
"Hengzhou Assassin Zhou Fashang, originally from a family of eunuchs in the Southern Dynasty, was later framed by Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, and his brother died in prison, Zhou Fashang took his family to the north to defect to the Great Zhou, and Chen Guoshi was in the same boat"
"Zhou Fashang water warfare, land warfare are all through, his younger brother Zhou Faming is also a general, the two brothers know the reality of Chen Guo, Zhou Fashang last year as the head of the naval army, several times in a row to break the Chen State naval army, relying on the power of the naval army, our army was able to several southern attacks to disturb the hand, breaking the Chen army accumulated more than 100,000, and gained a lot"
Yu Wenwen is also very hard to promote good friends, and Zhou Lang can let go of the enemy Chen Shujian for the sake of the family's future, so Yu Wenwen has to be cheeky in front of the prime minister, at least let him have an impression.
Zhou Fashang is now under the jurisdiction of Shannan Dao Daxingtai, and Wei Chi Hui may not interfere in personnel transfers, but he has to name him in advance, so that when the imperial court has the intention to use troops against Chen in the future, he will think of Erlang on the north side of the river.
He does not have a narrow view of employing people, thinking that Zhou Fashang must follow himself closely to be qualified to eat meat, and if he dares to hug other people's thighs, he will smash his job, and the other party is a partner on an equal footing with him.
With his identity at this time, it is delusional to want to shake the other party's head and worship, so it is the right way to make a fortune together by partnering to do business.
After talking for a while, Yuwen got up and retired with interest, he felt numb in his legs after sitting for so long, and it was not humane to let the old man's parents sit for time, not to mention that this person was indeed not young.
Seeing that the door was closed, Wei Chi Yuan wanted to get up but had some difficulty, he shook his head helplessly, and then said loudly: "Come out." ”
There was a person behind him, but it was Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, who saw his father waving, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, carefully rubbing his father's legs and feet: "Father, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
"Your son-in-law is really good at acting." Wei Chi Zhen smiled, "If you change to Shiro, I'm afraid you will fool him." ”
Wei Chishun was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, he had learned the ability of his son-in-law to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and it was really easy to deceive ordinary people if they didn't pay attention.
"He said that the secret recipe for thunder can only be handed over to you, what do you think?" Wei Chi asked, he walked back and forth to stretch his muscles and bones, and his legs and feet were indeed a little unbearable after doing it for so long.
"When a child knows, it is like a father knows, and the fewer people know about the so-called secret, the better." Wei Chishun replied, "Regardless of whether the thunder is put into battle or not, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Rebellion's attack will not happen." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Father, Yang Cheng was attacked and was able to carry it with his physical strength, but his father may not be able to do so when he is old, the secret recipe of thunder and thunder must indeed be kept, and there will be no shortage of people who want to come to Yecheng with other thoughts."
"Yes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows." Wei Chi sighed, and after thinking for a moment, he changed his words: "The matter of Yecheng, you really have to be instructed by a master, not what your son-in-law said?" ”
"The child is indeed guided by a master, and the son-in-law has no idea." (To be continued.) )
