Wang Huaqiang simply let go, and said: "Gao Servant, you promised me that if I made meritorious contributions in Turkic affairs, I would be promoted to Wupin Yitong, although Hua Qiang is not talented, this time it can be regarded as a pure heart for the country, born and died, and after coming back, I actually heard the news that there was no longer even the original Jiupin School Shulang, and said that you have always acted impartially, but in the handling of this matter, Hua Qiang is really difficult to convince!"

Gao Xi seemed to have expected his reaction, and smiled slightly: "Hua Qiang, you haven't answered the old man's question just now, what are you wrong this time, have you reflected?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said in his heart that Changsun Sheng must be jealous of himself for robbing him of his original exclusive division of the Turks, so he will find an opportunity to slander himself in front of Gao Xi, so he said hatefully: "The biggest mistake of the grass people is to take over the Turkic affairs, steal the limelight of General Changsun, and make Gao Servant embarrassed!"

Gao Xi sighed and shook his head gently: "Hua Qiang, although you are smart, you are too eager to seek officials, and you are too eager for quick success, since the old man chose you to go to the Turks to do this thing, he took this factor into account, and Changsun Sheng's reaction is also what I can predict, the old man is not old and dizzy, and he listens to and believes in one side." ”

Wang Huaqiang was slightly stunned, he suddenly realized that Gao Xi had not mentioned to Changsun Sheng about joining the prince's side, but he had consulted his own opinion, obviously it was impossible to completely fall to Changsun Sheng's side, since he had left himself a chance this time, he obviously did not completely retaliate against himself because of his refusal last time, so he treated himself like this, it should be that he had a problem on his side, which point is it? Wang Huaqiang began to think carefully.

After thinking about it, Wang Huaqiang thought that he had discussed specific steps with Gao Xi before Daxing transferred the 500,000 catties of iron ore, and he nodded at that time, if he said the chaos, it could only be that after he traveled west, he took the initiative to change the original plan, which made Gao Xi angry, so Wang Huaqiang tried to speak: "Gao Servant, did I temporarily change my mind in Yangguan and ask Duan Da and them to follow out of the customs, which makes you unhappy?" ”

Gao Xi's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "What else?" ”

Wang Huaqiang wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but suddenly felt that Gao Xi didn't seem to want to listen to his strong arguments one by one, so he still listed all the plans that did not match the original plan, and then explained the reasons one by one.

Thinking of what Changsun Sheng had mentioned to him that day, in order to save An Suiyu during the transaction, he almost delayed his breakthrough business, Wang Huaqiang knew that this must be counted as one, so he said: "I ran slowly during the transaction, and I went to save An Suiyu, and I almost didn't rush out." ”

Gao Xi's face still didn't see any joy or sorrow, and his voice was as calm as Gu: "Go on." ”

Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth: "After arriving in the Turks, in order to save the An brothers and sisters, I asked General Changsun to pretend to pass on the holy decree and force Dulan Khan to release him. ”

Gao Xi let out a long sigh and stood up: "Hua Qiang, do you have anything to explain about these things?" ”

Wang Huaqiang turned his heart sideways and said loudly: "This first one, the grass people were originally going to let Duan Yi and them go out of the customs and come back directly, but when they thought that after the transaction was over, thousands of catties of gold would be robbed in the desert, and it would definitely not work by relying on the guards of the An Sui family alone, so the grass people temporarily decided to let Duan Yi go out with them to escort them, and by the way, they could also touch the route of this transaction." ”

Gao Xi's eyes suddenly became sharp, stabbing Wang Huaqiang's heart for a while, and he lowered his head, but heard Gao Xi's voice ringing in his ears: "Huaqiang, in this matter, the final casualties of Duan Da and his subordinates are not what I am most concerned about, what I am most disappointed about is your motive for doing this, even if the gold is robbed, does it have anything to do with our whole event?"

There is only one transaction with the An brothers and sisters, what is there to touch on that line, what you really can't bear to do, I'm afraid it's the 20% commission, you're afraid that the gold will be gone, and your own benefits will be gone, so you let Duan Da go out of the guard, right? ”

This is indeed what Wang Huaqiang thought in his heart, and he broke Gao Xi's words, and he was speechless.

Gao Xi paced slowly: "Let's talk about the second thing, you desperately begged An Suiyu, Changsun Sheng said that you fell in love with her beauty, but I don't think so, you Wang Huaqiang is not a lustful person, and he will not even want his own life for a woman, the motivation that drives you to do this, I am afraid that I still want to subdue the An brothers and sisters, so that you can use it for you in the future!"

Wang Huaqiang was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, Gao Servant Shooting, the grass people suddenly thought at that time, if the transaction went wrong, I ran over alone, and the An Sui family would think that it was my bureau, and I had to give an account of my life on the spot, and the grass people thought that what I did at that time was right." ”

Gao Xi sneered: "That's right? Yes, from what you can see, that's right, because your mind is to protect the Ahn brothers and sisters while planting the sham, and even in order to save the brothers and sisters, you can put the whole plan at risk. Changsun Sheng just saw you this, so he didn't tell you the truth, if you have no selfishness, you can just escape with your life, and you don't have to go to An Sui's house at all. ”

Wang Huaqiang shouted: "No, if you don't find An Sui's family, then I will use my pseudonym Yang Qin to arrest Changsun Sheng on the spot, how can the current plan be realized?" ”

Gao Xi said: "The plan has changed, your response will not be so slow, since Changsun Sheng has started in advance, then you just need to save your life, as long as there is a transaction in place, whether An Suiyu lives or dies, falls into the hands of Changsun Sheng, then the An Sui family will definitely panic, and discuss countermeasures with Princess Dayi, when the time comes, we will send a messenger to ask the guilt first, so that Tuli can catch the traitor later, the same can achieve the goal, do you need one more fugitive Yang Qin?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said hatefully: "Gao Servant, since this is the case, then why don't you explain this plan to me at the beginning, and it will save me from making a bad choice, I am loyal to the original plan, and it has become a sin to complete my task wholeheartedly, this statement, Hua Qiang really disagrees." ”

Gao Xi shook his head: "Originally, I wanted to sue you for this plan, but Changsun Sheng said that you are too selfish, and you will put your personal interests above the right thing, you not only want to bring down the Turks, but also want to take the opportunity to make yourself rich, and maintaining a relationship with the An brothers and sisters also wants to take over their shops in the Western Regions in the future, Wang Huaqiang, the facts reflect this." ”

Wang Huaqiang knew that Gao Xi had already decided on this matter, and it was useless to deny it, and he said that he had already saved this idea, but it was not wronged, so he raised his head and said with a straight face: "Hua Qiang asked himself to put state affairs first, and he didn't miss the right thing because he wanted to subdue the An brothers and sisters."

In fact, I think that the behavior of General Changsun and Na An Xinggui is very suspicious, in order to get the inheritance of the An brothers and sisters, his behavior will put the whole plan at risk unless they are put to death. ”

Gao Xi suddenly laughed: "Wang Huaqiang, although you can speak well, but you can't reverse black and white, An Xinggui is not a person from the imperial court, if you want him to cooperate, you must lure him, this is nothing, but the reward you get from me is an official position, not a financial benefit, we have already made this clear, and you are an official of the imperial court, can you reduce yourself to a realm of Hu Shang who sees money?"

As for what you said is correct, okay, I'll ask you now, in the end, you asked Changsun Sheng to falsely pass on the holy decree, and even threatened that if you don't hand over the An brothers and sisters, our dynasty will go to war against the Turks. This one alone is enough to destroy your entire clan?!"

Wang Huaqiang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, Gao Xi's words were like thunder, echoing in his ears, this matter was really scary when he thought about it, if it wasn't for all the tribal leaders who turned their backs on Dulan Khan under the leadership of Dye Gan, if there were a few bloody people who stood up and insisted on supporting Dulan Khan, not afraid of the threat of Changsun Sheng, it would instead establish the image of Dulan Khan as a hero and a tough guy, if the Turks were really tough to the end, it would also make the Sui Dynasty difficult to ride a tiger, and the war and peace dilemma.

Gao Xi's eyes were like electricity, he looked directly at Wang Huaqiang, and he was speechless: "Wang Huaqiang, you remember, small wisdom is not great wisdom, I warned you, don't be selfish, don't play too much, you don't listen to me, so this dismissal is a lesson for you, are you still convinced?" ”
