Chapter 44, the jade is burned
Suo Qi wanted to increase Pei Caijulu, but was opposed by Liang Fen, and Liang Fen suggested that it would be better to add him to his official position.
Liang Fen's meaning, now that the three dukes are perfect, Pei Gai's General Wei has also come to an end - the hussars and chariots on it are all occupied by someone - then the only way to give him the title of "Pingshang Shushi", anyway, he can't step up to Suo Juxiu of "Lushang Shushi", you go, what are you not satisfied with?
However, Suo Qi resolutely refused. He considered that once he added the title of "Ping Shang Shushi", Pei Gai was likely to seek to enter the auxiliary government of the court, and this person was only a thin line away from him, and with the momentum of breaking the Hu army, it would be easy to grasp the real power of the imperial court in his hands - Liang Fen actually planned it this way - I don't want to take this risk!
Therefore, Suo Qi did everything possible to obstruct the imperial court from giving Pei Gai a reward, and for the proposal of Liang Fen and others, he could be as perfunctory as possible, and he could delay it for a day.
Until now that Feng Yi and the two counties of Beidi have been recovered, Pei Gai sent Yin Qiao into Beijing, and directly reached out to ask for an official, but there was nothing to delay, Suo Qi was forced to discuss with Liang Fen, saying that it really didn't work, so he could only give up Lu Yun - "But Jin Pei should be the general of the chariot cavalry." ”
Liang Fen was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be silent for a long time, then frowned slightly, and asked Suo Qi: "Lizhong Keton has been a soldier for ten thousand years, and if he does not send a soldier or a soldier to aid Dali, the imperial court should be blamed, but ...... Does the number of his car belong to Pei Wenyu? What about the position of the Grand Governor? ”
Suo Qi said that he could not move.
Liang Fen was taken aback, and said that this is not appropriate, Pei Gai's official position is higher than that of Lu Yun, but he still has to be held hostage by Lu Yun in specific functions, which is not in line with normal feelings and routines, and people restrain each other, it will be difficult to do things-"Why not change the appointment of the governor to Pei Wenyue?" ”
Suo Qi shook his head again and again, and said, "No." Liang Fen understood what Suo Qi meant, he just wanted Koji and Pei to contain each other, so that he could profit from it, and at least continue to sit firmly in the ruling position. So he had the courage to persuade Suo Qi: "Suo Gong, if you act like this, it will be difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that it will fall into the prestige of the court." With my foolish intentions, now Pei Wenyue has broken Hu, why didn't Suo Gong take office as the governor of the capital, collect the soldiers in the pass, and personally lead all the soldiers and horses to Pingyang, trying to destroy Hu? ”
Liang Fen already had the intention of changing horses, so he wanted to persuade Suo Qi to take the initiative to give up his position as ruler and lead his troops out to fight - you are known to be able to fight, then once you can successfully recover Pingyang and completely destroy Hu Kou, there will always be a day when you will return to power. Otherwise, Pei Gai's credit will be greater and greater, you can't stay in Chang'an City, and what face is always higher than him?
Unexpectedly, one sentence made Suo Qi angry, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "I have made up my mind, Situ Shen don't say anything more!" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, got up and walked away.
Liang Fen was ashamed and frightened, and when he returned to his mansion after retreating from the dynasty, he summoned his henchman Li Rong to him and told him: "Suo Juxiu is becoming more and more arrogant, greedy for power, he is in charge of the country, and I am afraid that the society will be in danger!" If we annoy Pei Wenyue today, or Xingshi asks for sin, or abandons Guanzhong and returns to the east, where should we be? ”
Li Rong comforted him and said, "This is also expected. Suo Gong is not only a day, because of his military power, we are powerless to resist it, we can only perfunctory. In the troubled times, the advance and retreat of the minister is not by the will of the saint, not by the public, but only by the ...... And Suo Gong has a lot of enemies, once he goes to the position, I am afraid that his life will be difficult, how dare he retreat? For the sake of today's plan, it is only implied that Pei Gong led the victorious army into the king of Jingqin, so that he could expel Suo Gong ......"
Liang Fen sighed: "I originally wanted to settle it peacefully, but I expected that in the end, I would have to use force." Chang'an is broken, the Son of Heaven is young, if there is a case in the soldiers, how is it good? ”
Li Rong said: "If Pei Gongqiang comes to attack the city, even the victory or defeat is unknown, but with our inner echo, I want to come to the city so as not to cause chaos......"
As he was talking, a report came to the door, saying that Xun Song wanted to see him.
Liang Fen said that this must be to help Pei should come to ask for an official, I can't see it-" After Zhong Si temporarily retired from the screen. ”
Li Rong said that he hid behind the screen, and Liang Fen went out of the hall to greet Xun Song. But I didn't expect Xun Jingyou to come alone, there was another one behind him, about thirty years old, slim and long-faced, and a pair of hanging eyebrows were extremely eye-catching. Liang Fen asked who this is? The other party hurriedly bowed to him, and reported to his family and said: "Pei Gong is the master of the book, and the chief of the head of the heavy spring, and the surname is the king's name and the word tribute." ”
Liang Fen was slightly taken aback - because with the status of Wang Gong's main book, he was second only to Yin Qiao in Pei's staff team, so why didn't Yin Qiao mention this person at all when he entered the city? There is no need to ask, this must be a secret mission, and meeting with himself through Xun Song is to discuss important matters. This time, Da Li came to envoy, Yin Qiao was in the light, and Wang Gong was in the dark, and it didn't seem as simple as asking for a reward.
After the shock, Liang Fen's spirit couldn't help but lift slightly. Li Rong is right, now only by hinting that Pei should send troops to come and cooperate with himself inside and outside can he have a chance to get Suo Qi down - just take advantage of this opportunity to show Wang Gong's hole cards.
The two sides sat down separately, and after a few words of greeting, Wang Gong directly introduced the topic: "Previously, Xun Gongshu went to Dali, and said to Pei Gong that Liang Gong cared for him and had deep hopes, I don't know if it was Liang Gong's original intention?" ”
Liang Fen smiled slightly: "Xun Jingyou's words are exactly Liang's heart. ”
Wang Gong arched his hand and said: "Pei Gong is deeply grateful, and he also thinks that Liang Gong is in the court, and he is alone in the society, and he is quite isolated and helpless, but he wants to enter the court to help Liang Gong." However, Gong Wen Liang Gong wanted to add Pei Gong's title of 'Ping Shang Shushi' before, but was blocked by General Suo, I don't know? ”
Liang Fenxin said that you can inquire about the news, and the private words of Shangshu Taizhong can be detected...... But after thinking about it, Xun Song is also qualified to work in Shangshutai, although he refuses to go when he sees Tian'er asking for leave, but he wants to ask the little officials about similar things, and the little officials have no reason to keep him secret. After a brief glance at Xun Song, he immediately replied to Wang Gong: "This is indeed the case." ”
Wang Gong sighed: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for Duke Pei to return to Chang'an......" Without waiting for Liang Fen to say something, he pretended to be indignant: "I don't want General Suo to be so domineering, Situ's words, the court discussion, turned a deaf ear!" Pei Gongqian also said to me, "Since ancient times, there has been no power to be a minister, and a general can make contributions to the outside." 'Words are true! ”
Liang Fen secretly rejoiced in his heart, you should be angry with Suo Qi instead of me, that's right, I have to think about it, how to hint at your use of troops? This must be said clearly, so as not to misunderstand Wang Gong, and must be vague, so that in case of defeat in the future, it will not be easy for Suo Qi to catch my pigtails......
While he was still considering his words, he saw Wang Gong's face solemn, and he bowed down deeply: "The last official has a word, he doesn't vomit or is unhappy, he wants to show it in front of Situ, and he also asks Liang Gong not to be guilty." ”
Liang Fen said that if you have anything to say, just say it directly-"Xun Jingyou is not an outsider, and there is no fourth person in the hall today...... "In fact, there is a Li Rong, hiding behind the screen-"Out of Qing's mouth, into my ear, how to blame?" ”
Only then did Wang Gong straighten his waist and said in a deep voice: "In the past, Guo Kai included, and Lian Po went to Zhao; Zhao Gao was in power, and Zhang Han was in Chu. Will the second general not have a loyal heart? lest they face the enemy and bear their backs, even if their lives cannot be saved, let alone the affairs of the state? Today, General Suo is dominant, not under Zhao Gao, and although Feng Yi and Beidi are restored, Hu Kou is still strong, Pei Gong's momentum may not be too cheap and Zhang, if Liang Gong can't be preserved, I'm afraid there will be something unbearable! ”
Liang Fen pretended to nod sadly: "Qing Yan is also...... However, General Suo insists on acting recklessly, and it is difficult for me to correct it, so how to deal with it? Does Pei Gong have a countermeasure? "Say it quickly, say it quickly that you want to send troops to attack Suoqi, then there is no need for me to speak personally.
Wang Gong said: "Now the imperial court is in power, and only the public and Suo and Koji are only. The former Pei Gong fought in Dali, and the feathers were relaxed, and he invited the soldiers and horses of the Qin King from all walks of life to gather, but it was a pity that the only Zu Sizhou family responded to the order...... "Chen An's kind of small force is not necessary to mention-" and even the whole success was difficult to achieve, making Liu Yao escape. Especially the general of Koji, who is in 10,000 years, is only 200 miles away from Dali, and can arrive in three or five days, and he has 30,000 heavy soldiers, and he does not send a single pawn, which is really hateful! If the country wants to cheer up, and if the society seeks to restore peace, the last official thinks that he must go to koji and Suo, and use Liang Gong and Pei Gong to assist the Son of Heaven......"
Liang Fen laughed secretly in his heart, you have a sentence on the left "the last official has a word", and the right sentence "the last official thinks", you just want to clear up for Pei and pretend that it is all your own meaning...... I understand, no problem, go ahead. He pretended to be embarrassed and frowned: "The second prince is the leader of the ministers, and he has made great contributions to the country, can An be gone?" ”
Wang Gong pouted: "The so-called 'Zhilan is in charge, and he has to hoe', but the Zhihui in the past is now corrupt, it is not as good as barnyard grass!" He stared at Liang Fen's eyes: "Does Liang Gong think so?" ”
Liang Fen turned his gaze and did not hand over to Wang Gong, but glanced at Xun Song. Xun Jingyou smiled slightly bitterly, what does it mean: What does Wang Gong want to say, what does my son-in-law want to do, I don't know, I just brought someone over today, all the problems, you two talk face to face, and I don't have the right to do it.
Liang Fenxin said that this is another irresponsible ...... Tilting his head, he bowed his head slightly: "Qingyan'...... also makes sense."
Wang Gong immediately leaned down: "In this way, everything depends on Duke Liang." ”
Liang Fenxin said that this is okay, Pei should express his willingness to reverse the rope and koji through Wang Gong's mouth, and I only used the sentence "Qingyan is also reasonable", which is equivalent to vaguely stating my position. When the time comes, Pei should bring the troops here, how should I respond, I can order Li Rong to go and contact.
Just as he was about to send off the guests, he saw Wang Gong lying on the ground, and he didn't get up, but he continued: "When the last official came, Pei Gong wanted to send troops to Wannian to blame the general for not saving him. And the matter of Chang'an, I always rely on Liang Gong, and after the matter is completed, Pei Gong can come to the Son of Heaven safely. ”
Liang Fen was stunned when he heard this, and then chewed on the meaning of Wang Gong's words, and couldn't help but be taken aback - "What does Qing mean by this?!" ”
Wang Gong slowly straightened his waist, and a smug smile appeared on his lips: "Where the Son of Heaven lives in Chang'an City, how can foreign troops trespass?" And once the swords and soldiers are added, I am afraid that the jade will be burned! He also deliberately accentuated the words "jade burning".
