Chapter 13, Pei Gai's true meaning
Pei should have already greeted Beigong Chun, saying that you don't just write a letter, if you have the opportunity, you still want to meet that fellow Luo Yao, help me find out about his situation, and see if you can win him over.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the two sides met, Luo Yao came to woo Beigong Chun first...... Beigong Chunxin said I haven't opened my mouth yet, you kid Leng Touqing, you speak so directly, then okay, I won't play with you anymore. He smiled and said, "If there is a better place to go, how can I be indifferent?" But I am afraid that the Lord can not be relied on. β
Luo Yao frowned and asked, "How can you see it?" β
Beigong Chun replied: "Suo Gong supports the Son of Heaven and governs Chang'an for several years, but he can't fit the politics of Guanzhong, there are the constraints of the Duke of Koji inside, and the King of Nanyang blocking the Longdao outside, Hu Kou is coming again, and the court is in danger - how can Suo Gong protect his body?" I am in the Xuzhou army, even if the war is unfavorable, I can also return to the east, and my life is safe...... These thousands of Liangzhou children will not be on the battlefield because of me. And Qing followed Suo Gong, once Chang'an City is broken, where else can I go? Do you want to learn from my old days, and have no choice but to throw myself into Hulu? β
Then he said: "Su Qing knows that Hu Zhong is not inhabitable." We are Jin people after all, how can the Hu people trust their hearts and reuse them? In fact, this is not true, Liu Cang still attaches great importance to Beigong Chun, but if he doesn't say so, how will the other party view Beigong Chun? Luo Yao may not uphold the concept of Huayi, thinking that Beigong returned to the Jin Dynasty purely out of righteousness, and will only despise: people treat you as a countryman, and you rebel again (one betrays the Jin, and then rebels against Hu), are you still a special person?!
"And now the Northern Expedition of Xu and Henan has been completely restored to Henan, and the army is strong, which shows that Hu Yun will not be long in coming. That is, Hu Kou trapped Chang'an, and the power of Yanyu and Xu Sizhou was enough to resist it, how could we return to Hu Kou and throw the blood of our children on the land of the Central Plains uselessly? β
Luo Yao pondered for a while, and said slowly: "However...... Suo Gong is the ruling country after all, and Pei Gong is just a foreign minister......"
Beigong Chun said with a smile: "The matter of Guanzhong cannot be decided in one word, what kind of country is in power?" And Pei Gong Qinghua is a dignitary, but when he enters Chang'an, the three princes are expected, and he knows that the government is immovable? β
"If you are willing to obey, Suo Gong will repay him with the general number and the county guard......"
Beigong Chun shook his head: "How can I expect the big county to keep the prime minister?" As for the general, I am a general in Huzhong, if I covet fame, why should I return south? This is also false, in fact, he has a lot of fame - "I don't know if Qing is in Chang'an, any military number?" β
Luo Yao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can't compare with you, but I was born in the common people, and now I am the ...... under the command of the hussar general."
Beigong Junyi pouted: "Could it be that my Beigong clan is a wealthy family in Liangzhou?" However, in the Xuzhou army, that is, Orion and local tyrants also signed the minister, and now Pei Gong has entered the Hajj, and he also wants to seek the general number for us. β
Beigong Chun means, my conditions here are much more generous than yours, how could I turn my back on Pei Gai and run to Suo Qi? But he didn't take this opportunity to win over Luo Yao, but just said: "Let's wait and protect their masters, let's look at the situation, be cautious not to be loyal to Xu people, worry more about my children in Liangzhou, don't bury your bones in a foreign land." β
Because he has not been in Shun Pei for a long time, to be honest, he has no special loyalty, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is more convenient to look at the Xuzhou army to take refuge, and the strength is relatively sufficient. However, the general trend of the world has changed rapidly in recent years, and no one knows how the situation will develop next, so he refuses to block this way, just pretending to be concerned, taking care of Luo Yao, and saying that we should maintain the status quo first, and wait and see.
ββββββββββ
Luo Yao returned to Chang'an City, and when Suo Qi retreated from the court, he immediately stepped forward to report, saying that I had gone to see Beigong Chun, but he did not mean to defect from Pei Gai at present. Suo Qi was thinking about Pei Cai's bold words at the banquet, and he didn't have time to think about this issue for the time being, so he nodded, I understood, and told Luo Yao to retreat.
Then Suo Qi found an opportunity to talk to Liang Fen secretly, and said What do you think Pei Gai said today? Did we not let him be a general or a great Sima, and he was not satisfied, so he deliberately came to entertain me?
Liang Fen stroked her long beard, nodded first, then shook her head. While sorting out his thoughts, he analyzed: "With Pei Wenyue's portal and qualifications, plus the merit of recovering the old capital, he is enough to be a general, even if he doesn't match, he should be added to the heavy number...... "Why did you only give him a general to conquer the west?" How can it be the general of the expedition to the west?
"And it is advisable to add the positions of the servant and the servant, so that the ...... of the government is the third prince in the servant, and the government is actually in charge, and the left and right servants are called "Duan Deputy", and if the "sub-phase", if a similar name is added, it is equivalent to recognizing Pei as the prime minister and sharing part of his power. But during the discussion last night, even if Liang Fen wore out his mouth, Suo Qi insisted on not allowing it, so Liang Fen was so nervous when he read the holy decree today, for fear that Pei should be angry and walk away.
Liang Fen means, even if Pei should be a good person, after all, he is a foreign minister, and he wants to step past you and me as soon as he enters the court and take charge of the government, let alone you Suo Juxiu, even I am not happy. And whether it is Liang Fen or Suo Qi, they all think that Pei should be Zu Li's deputy and help Zu Shizhi explore the way, so even if we are willing to let go of power and raise Pei Cai, how will we arrange Zu Yi in the future? And if the ancestors are placed, where should the two of us go?
No matter how great the credit of Pei Gai and Zu Ti is, and how famous their positions are, after all, Suo and Liang are currently in power, and if they want them to hand over the power they have in their hands, unless you really lead tens of thousands of troops, and the momentum will come over...... And even so, Liang Fen will be cowardly immediately, as for Suo Qi, maybe he will have to fight a battle first.
But then again, you should always give him a little power, or at least make an attitude of being willing to share power, you just add "Yitong Sansi" to him, can he be satisfied? Although he only talked about the official products before, he was already more than the public in terms of titles, how could he care about these false names?
But Suo Qi insisted that although the Pei family was noble, after all, Pei should be too young and had no experience in governance, how could he be a prime minister as soon as he came? We have to get along for a while, and see what they plan to do after all, so that we can share the powerβin fact, he doesn't want to give up the slightest authority in his heartβI think he won't dare to be rude before the Son of Heaven drives, and if he really has a grudge, it's not too late for us to discuss it at the banquet that follows.
Liang Fen couldn't resist Suoqi, and finally had to obey. As Suo Qi said, he believed that Pei should not dare to be rude in front of the Son of Heaven - if he dared to throw his sleeves and leave, it would mean that Zu and Pei were ambitious, and they just wanted to seize power, and they would not be able to use it - when they arrived at the banquet, they should make more requests, and it would not be impossible to negotiate at that time. Especially if Liang Fen helps, I believe that even Suo Qi will not be able to force Pei Gai.
But I didn't expect Pei Gai to not mention his own taste and power at the banquet at all, but said that he wanted to enter Feng Yi and Beidi and act as a Hu, so Suo Qi asked - is he talking nonsense? He must be, right? He's just tactfully expressing his displeasure, right?
Liang Fen said that Pei Gai was dissatisfied, that was for sure, but he could express it in many ways. For example, at the beginning, he asked to be the governor of Yongzhou and unify military affairs, that is, he reached out to ask for military power - in fact, if there is no koji Yun, why not agree to him for the time being? "Did Suo Gong send a letter to Lu Zhongke, or did Peken retreat under Pei Wenyue...... "These two must be separated, otherwise the Guanzhong army, one is the governor of Yongzhou, and the other is the governor of Dadu, who should listen to?" Theoretically, you have to listen to the governor, so isn't the governor of Yongzhou completely a false name, how can Pei be willing to give up?
Suo Qi shook his head: "Koji Zhong is willing to give in? "That fight and use people is soft, but in terms of power, it is not at all more tired than me. Besides, I'm not dealing with him, and if I write to him, he will definitely think that I want to clean him up, and maybe he will immediately run to attach himself to Sima Bao!
"It's better for Liang Gong to write a letter."
Liang Fen waved his hand and said that this matter will be discussed again-"However, as I said, if Pei Wenyue wants to express his dissatisfaction, he doesn't have to say anything about going north and collecting Feng Yi and Beidi. I think about its intentions, maybe there are three ......"
"Please advise Liang Gong."
Liang Fen raised a finger: "First, Pei Wenyue is loyal to the country, not greedy for fame and position, does not avoid swords and axes, and only thinks about consolidating the defense of Guanzhong." β
Suo Qi pursed his lips, that means: I don't believe it!
Liang Fen then raised a second finger: "Its intention is to oppose Koji Zhongkeye." He Gu knows that we are waiting for the establishment of the dynasty, and it is inconvenient to intervene, so he only wants to take the military handle of Guanzhong, and Koji Zhongke will not take it lightly...... "We are unwilling to let go of power, as you said, Koji Yun will definitely not be happy, even if we give Pei Gai Yongzhou Governor or even Dadu Governor, it is just a piece of paper-" It is to strangle the troops to go north, pretending to guard the second county, but in fact, looking for an opportunity to annex the Koji Department! β
When Suo Qi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he nodded again and again, saying that it was very possible.
He couldn't wait to get Lu Yun out of power quickly, so that guy wouldn't have to look at Sima Bao all day long. Although Pei should replace Lu Yun, there may be a risk of rejecting the wolf at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door, but after all, Pei should be young and may be better fooled than Lu Yun. Besides, Sima Bao killed his Pei family, Pei shouldn't be able to get close to Sima Bao again, right? As long as the two families do not join forces, he will still be solid in Chang'an.
"Third, why?"
Liang Fen said, the third is to make way for Zu Ti. Pei should open the way for Zu Ti, he has already come to Chang'an to touch our veins, so he may stay to welcome Zu Ti, or return to Henan to join Zu Ti, but there is also a way, which is to go north in advance, so that Zu Ti can echo after entering the customs......
When Suo Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "If this is the case, Zu Shizhi is not young!" β
Liang Fen said that it's useless for us to just guess here, what I mean, send someone to find Pei Gai again, and say that the issue of official position can be discussed, so as to find out his true intentions - last time he sent his brother, it is estimated that he may not be willing to go too deep, and Pei Tong is young after all, and he may not be reliable.
"In that case, who can be sent?"
"My long history Li Rongke also."
