Chapter 751: To each according to his needs
Che Zhengxian got off the war horse far away, pretended to be ecstatic, trotted all the way, ran to Wang Ping'an's horse, knelt down, and shouted: "Angel, angel, the young general has finally looked forward to you!" ”
Wang Ping'an snorted on the horse, thinking: "Angel, I have neither wings nor an aperture on my head, why did I become an angel!" ”
He got off the horse, strode forward, held Cha Zhengxian, and said, "Are you the famous Goguryeo general Cha Zhengxian Cha Da Mo Lizhi?" I have admired the name for a long time, and it is like thunder. When I was in Chang'an, I often heard the prime ministers mention you, and they all said that you are a good man with righteousness and thin clouds. ”
Che Zhengxian's Central Plains dialect is extremely smooth, several times stronger than the Treasure King, if you close your eyes and listen to him, you still think he is a Liaodong Han person!
Che Zhengxian refused to get up, and kowtowed three times to Wang Ping'an, and then said: "Prince, those city lords of Goguryeo, who disobeyed the Celestial Empire and rebelled, the young general had long wanted to kill them all, and sent the heads to Chang'an, but unfortunately the strength was not enough, and he failed to destroy those evil fangs and incompetence, and I hope the prince will understand!" ”
Wang Ping'an helped him up and said loudly: "Those city lords are all local evil forces, and they are the source of the national disaster in Goguryeo, and these evil forces must be eradicated." Don't worry about Che Da Mo leaving the branch, I support you, and I Datang also support you, help you reunify Goguryeo, and give this land a bright and peaceful world! ”
"Thank you Prince, thank you Prince, your great kindness, all the people of Goguryeo will remember it and never forget it!" Cha Jung-hyun was moved to tears, and his voice was choked.
Su Dingfang and Xue Renyi behind Wang Ping'an thought together: "This Che Zhengxian is good, he is very slippery, and he is very good at acting, he is a character, and the civil war in Goguryeo in the future will all depend on him, it is estimated that he can have a draw with those city lords alone." ”
Wang Ping'an took Che Zhengxian's hand and said, "Come on, come on, please come with me, let's go see His Majesty the King together." I told you, Your Majesty, he had to think that my father-in-law was indispensable, and I resolutely refused, unwilling to accept him as a righteous son, for fear of hurting his face, but he cried bitterly, and said that if I did not agree, he would go on a hunger strike, and he would strip naked and run in the camp to show his dissatisfaction with me. I really had no choice but to pretend to agree to him and accept him as a righteous son. General Che, after you see him, persuade him not to let him be my son! ”
When Che Zhengxian heard this, he quickly pretended to be ecstatic again, and shouted: "My king recognized the prince as his father-in-law? Oh, what a great event! Don't shirk the prince, if you are the king's father-in-law, you can teach him to grow up, become a good king, and benefit the people of Goguryeo! For the sake of all the people of Goguryeo, prince, please really agree, accept my king as his son, and let him ...... From now on, I will be happy and please you! ”
Su Dingfang, Xue Renyi, and a group of Qingzhou soldiers nodded at the same time, thinking in their hearts: "Very good, you are shameless enough, we all like you!" ”
And those generals of Goguryeo all showed extremely ashamed expressions on their faces, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they didn't dare to face the mocking eyes of the Tang generals.
Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "It turns out that accepting Your Majesty as a righteous son is for the good of all the people of Goguryeo, so ...... Then I have to reluctantly make it difficult, so I'll take him! Whoever makes me a good-hearted man will not see the people suffering! ”
Che Zhengxian said repeatedly: "The prince is merciful, the prince is merciful." ”
As they spoke, the two entered the camp. At this time, in the military camp, there were not only Qingzhou soldiers, but also thousands of Goguryeo people who came over, these people were basically ruffians in the former national capital, or scoundrels in the surrounding areas, almost all the scoundrels in the Gyeonggi area of Goguryeo were gathered here, and they were incorporated by the Qingzhou army and issued them Goguryeo military uniforms, which were regarded as servant troops.
Don't look at these scoundrels are not a thing, but at this time, they are very useful, they not only shocked the ordinary Goguryeo people, so that the people could not escape and rebel, but also quite loyal to the Qingzhou soldiers, now they completely regard themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty, nodding in front of the Qingzhou army, but they are shy to the Goguryeo people!
Che Zhengxian walked into the camp, and when the Qingzhou soldiers saw him, they all nodded and smiled, and their attitude was quite good, but those ruffians despised Che Zhengxian very much, and seemed to think that the generals who were once high above were nothing more than that, and they surrendered late, and in terms of qualifications, they were far inferior to them, and they can now call themselves seniors!
Wang Ping'an had an affectionate attitude, kept holding Che Zhengxian's hand, and brought him to the treasure king's tent, then let go and said: "His Majesty the King lives here, or you go in first, talk to him, I'll wait outside, and when you're done, go to where I am, let's talk about the specific matters of post-war reconstruction!" ”
Cha Zhengxian hurriedly said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." The young general has nothing to do with the prince, please go in with the young general! ”
Wang Ping'an patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You go in, go and comfort my righteous son, you speak Goguryeo, I don't understand it, so I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside!" As he spoke, he pushed the cart Jeong-hyun.
Cha Jung-hyun complained of offense, and then entered the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Cha Zhengxian saw a large carpet spread in the tent, and a young man was sitting on the carpet, holding a newly tied windmill in his hand, and he was stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
Cha Zhengxian hurriedly put up a smile, knelt down for the treasure king, and said: "The minister Che Zhengxian greets the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" After saying that, he kowtowed to the Treasure King, but waited for a long time, but did not wait for a reply.
Cha Zhengxian raised his head and saw the Treasure King looking at him with a frightened expression, he hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, you don't recognize the minister?" When you ascended the throne, the minister also saw you, and the minister was a samurai who held melons at that time. ”
The Treasure King was most afraid of seeing strangers, let alone alone, and he had been frightened too much these days, and he had long been overwhelmed. Regardless of whether Cha Zhengxian used to take melons or dates, the treasure king shouted: "Help, help!" ”
What makes Che Zhengxian very angry is that the treasure king shouts for help, but it is shouted in the Central Plains dialect for help, isn't this to ruin his own image, in case the Tang army outside thinks that he wants to do something to him, then the Tang army is angry, isn't he going to do something to himself, then thanks to it, how difficult it is to gain the trust of the Tang army!
Che Zhengxian rushed forward, covered the mouth of the treasure king, and said hurriedly: "Your majesty, your majesty, don't shout, if you have something to say, the ministers will listen to you!" ”
The Treasure King struggled hard, whining in his mouth, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid of being stripped naked again, even if he was an immature person, he knew that it was a very humiliating thing!
Just as the two of them were covering and tying on the carpet, the curtain was lifted, and Wang Ping'an poked his head in and asked, "What are you doing?" Oh, you can't bully my son, be careful that I turn against you! ”
He strode into the tent, snatched the Treasure King from Cha Jung-hyun's hand, and shouted at Cha Jung-hyun. The Treasure King threw himself into Wang Ping'an's arms, and began to cry again, he had been crying all the time in the past few days, and his voice was almost hoarse!
Cha Zhengxian thought to himself: "What is this called, my own affairs in Goguryeo, but I want the Tang Army to interfere, and this little cub really treats the big boss of the Tang Army as his father!" ”
The belly is slandered, but how dare you show the slightest bit on your face! Che Zhengxian said aggrievedly: "Don't misunderstand the prince, it may be that the young general's appearance is scary, and the king is scared." As soon as the king shouted, the young general was afraid, so he went up to cover his mouth, and asked the prince to forgive him for the rudeness, and the young general was willing to be punished! ”
Wang Ping'an hummed, pressed the treasure king back on the carpet, let him hold the windmill, and continued to be in a daze. He said to Cha Zhengxian: "Just be kind to him in the future." Forget it, let's go to my place and discuss the aftermath! ”
Che Zhengxian had no choice but to follow Wang Ping'an to the Chinese army's big tent.
The guest sat down, and it was another fake politeness, and after a while, it got to the point. Wang Ping'an said: "The national capital is to be rebuilt, and it can be used as a method of relief for work, which has been used in my Tang Dynasty and has been proven to be a good law for the ages." Hear me clearly, I'm talking about the reconstruction of the national capital, not the new construction of the national capital, understand? ”
Cha Zhengxian naturally understood what Wang Ping'an meant, didn't he just want to lose Goguryeo's national strength. This is a trivial matter, as long as he can gain a firm foothold in Goguryeo and become a person like Yuangai Suwen, then everything is easy to say, he will have to count on the support of the Tang Dynasty in the future, just rebuild the national capital, there is nothing that cannot be promised.
Wang Ping'an saw that he agreed happily, and said: "Don't tell lies in front of the Ming people, I'll just say it directly, I don't want you Goguryeo to become strong, so I hope you can attack those city lords, if you want to negotiate with me, it's okay, you can talk about it, but you have to agree to my request!" ”
This was said too directly, in a typical conqueror tone, condescending, completely ignoring Cha Jung-hyun's thoughts.
Che Zhengxian was really forced to sweat all over his head, and he said: "Since the prince has spoken out, then good, the young general will not pretend to be a loyal and patriotic person." If the young general starts a war with those city lords, Goguryeo will definitely be torn apart, and it will no longer be able to threaten the borders of the Tang Dynasty, but what benefits can the young generals get? ”
Wang Ping'an said: "Give you the territory of Baekje, as long as Goguryeo is settled, then Baekje and Silla will be left, and Silla will get great benefits when Goguryeo falls, and once the country is strong, maybe there will be some new ideas, and it may not be very deferential, so we need to have some checks and balances in this land." I can give you the land of Baekje, and you will be able to balance Silla and become the lord of Baekje. Of course, after Baekje is destroyed in the future, what the name of the country will be will be later. ”
Cha Jung-hyun frowned and said, "In other words, the junior general will not get any benefits in Goguryeo, and the benefits are in Baekje?" It's too far away to deliver! ”
Wang Ping'an said: "Far away? If you want the benefits to come quickly, then you can quickly destroy the city lords, and our Datang can send troops to support. Don't worry, even if the city lords surrender, we don't want them, because we Datang hate the local evil forces the most, and we will never allow self-enrichment! Except, of course, for the small court of the subject state. ”
Cha Zhengxian lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he said: "Isn't it possible for the young general to stay in Goguryeo, with this river as the boundary, the west to the Tang Dynasty, and the east to the young general, Ruxin occupies the land of Baekje, as long as some is given to the young general!" ”
Wang Ping'an snorted and said: "You fought a civil war with the city lords, and surrendered to my Tang Dynasty first, and when you get out of this tent, you are a traitor, even if you have land in Goguryeo in the future, do you still expect the throne to last long?" ”
Cha Zhengxian thought for a long time, then raised his head and said: "According to the meaning of the prince, in fact, it is to let the young general make Goguryeo weak first, and the Tang Dynasty will merge it, and then the young general will go to destroy Baekje. ”
Wang Ping'an had a calm face and said, "You must do it, and I also believe that you can do it." If you can't even do this, then why should I, Datang, support you and make you king? It's better to support my godson, he is the real one who can't do anything! ”
Che Zhengxian was silent, Wang Ping'an's words were very unkind, he tore off the disguise, and omitted all the scenes, just talking about the distribution of interests, and said it so directly, it really made him a little difficult to accept.
There was silence in the tent for a while, and Che Zhengxian said: "If the Tang Dynasty wants to destroy the young general's Xinguo and Silla together in the future, what should I do?" ”
Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen in a few decades, as for a few decades, I don't know what the situation will be, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you plan for them now, it's too early!" ”
Cha Zhengxian also snorted and said, "This is also true, decades later, what do you want it to do." He bowed his head and closed his eyes, and the thoughts in his heart turned sharply, and he thought about it for a long, long time, for half an hour.
Wang Ping'an did not bother, and waited quietly, in fact, he did not expect Cha Zhengxian to really abide by the agreement, but as long as he used Cha Zhengxian to stabilize the current situation in Goguryeo, so that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life could not be commanded in a unified manner, then it was done, and when Li Ji or which general led the army to come again, it didn't matter, Goguryeo could be decided in one fell swoop.
Che Zhengxian didn't know Wang Ping'an's true thoughts, he thought about it for a long time, then he opened his eyes and said, "The young general wants a holy decree, as well as an iron scroll, to ensure that Datang will not unload the mill and kill the donkey." ”
Wang Ping'an smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Che Zhengxian's shoulder, and said, "You are a thousand miles, not a donkey." The holy decree and the iron scroll will be sent to you after I return to Datang, as long as you do a good job for my Datang, there will be a gold seal in the future. ”
Cha Zhengxian hurriedly pretended to be grateful and thanked Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an said solemnly: "I'm very optimistic about you, don't let me down, be loyal to Datang!" Okay, so be it, let's have a drink and celebrate! ”
He raised his voice and shouted outside the tent: "Set up a banquet, I want to entertain Che Da Mo Yuan." By the way, call my godson and let him sit with him, so as to wish the car a great drink! ”
