Chapter 63
The topic has been diverted, and Li Bao also sighed along the way: "Yes! Less than a year ago, a few of us were still hunting on Bailing Mountain, and now we are all developing with Brother Gao. The lord of a county, God, this official can't say. ”
"After a while, let's go back to the village and have a look. Give the villagers good news, they don't know it yet. Feng Liang also smiled.
The four of them seem to have returned to the time when they were in the village, and the atmosphere is also a lot more harmonious. As he was talking, two soldiers came in to report: "General Qiyu, the note to the imperial court and the king of Nanyang has been arranged for a special person to write it, and the general is specially invited to review it." ”
After speaking, one of them presented a piece of tissue paper.
Seeing that there was something serious, Li Hu and Li Bao got up. Gao Yue gave the two of them another exhortation. The two of them said goodbye and went out.
Gao Yue waited for the two of them to be far away, so he lowered his head and looked at it carefully between the white paper and black words.
“…… The people of the remote mountains and wilderness of Weichen are pushed by the public, driving the cool officials and protecting themselves in Longxi. However, when he heard that the Xiongnu were raging, Hu Ma entered Kou and merged with the state, raised dust to the south, and ravaged the Central Plains, and the humiliation of the first emperor was bloody. Recently, he has become more and more arrogant, and even more violently, even the soldiers knocked on the Han Valley, and Chang'an was in danger.
Although Weichen is not enough, he also knows that he is loyal to the royal family and worried about his family and country. When I heard the dragon and the dragon were fighting for its wings, the clouds flowed out, and the fog and rain gathered; The holy king's festival cultivates virtue, and the loyal and brave people return to righteousness and think of their names.
Now His Majesty succeeds to the unification, the people think about Jin, although the micro-ministers are not talented, they are also willing to personally lead the righteous soldiers of Longxi, drum to the east, do their best, and destroy the captives in the west of the capital, and the head of the Hu chief in front of the Xiongguan, in order to ensure that Chang'an is safe. May Your Majesty preserve the Eucharist for restoration.
The ancients still heard the corpse, although the ministers were young and humble, and shared the worries of the king, they didn't dare to resign, and how could they dare to keep silent because of their namelessness?
Weichen Gao Yue was sincerely afraid, and he paused, waiting for the sinful body, but His Majesty decided. ”
Gao Yue's heart was beating slightly, his breathing was short, and he hurriedly shook off the second piece of paper, raised his eyes and looked at it intently.
On the second plain letterhead, there were only a few words. The thick black ink falls on the white paper, which is particularly eye-catching.
"The minister Gao Yue bowed his head. The ministers are now pushing for the public, parasitic in Longxi, success or failure, only the king turns his hand. But the ministers are willing to be loyal to the royal family, drive for the king, and reject the Xiongnu in the east, so as to ensure that Huma does not enter Qinzhou. The king is on the right side of the pass, dominates the northwest, is the leader of the vassal kings, the world is side-eyed, although the minister is not talented, he is willing to attach the tail. ”
Gao Yue read it in one go. After careful consideration, the originally calm heart suddenly jumped abnormally sharply.
The first piece of paper was addressed to the Emperor of Chang'an. The letter only briefly hinted that because of the "cool officials", Gao Yue was supported and elected by the overwhelming masses of the people, expelled the cool officials, and now occupies Longxi.
Then reminded the imperial court that now Hu Lu's momentum is soaring, and the military power is extremely strong, and he will wave his army westward at every turn, and Chang'an is embattled. In this case, I, Gao Yue, am willing to lead my troops to Qin Wang, do my best to block the Xiongnu army, and at least ensure that Chang'an is not so dangerous.
Then he quietly pointed out, although I don't have any celebrities now, but for the king's worries, I Gao Yue has nothing to say. As for whether it is a guilty body, whether it will have the status of an official or not, the four words "Only Your Majesty decides". The court, you can watch it.
The second piece of paper, needless to say, was written for Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang. Who is Sima Bao? Putting aside all his titles and honorable status, in fact, Sima Bao is a warlord.
What do warlords value? It's its own power. Whether the power is big enough, whether it has weight or not, the heroes of the world, are they willing to follow.
Therefore, in the letter, there was no mention of how Gao Yue possessed Longxi. How did I Gao Yue get Longxi, this doesn't matter. What matters is my Gao Yue's attitude towards you King Nanyang.
Therefore, at the beginning, Gao Yue's posture was put very low. "Lodge in Longxi". Although I have now obtained Longxi County, I know very well whose territory it is, so I dare not say that I am the lord of Longxi, at present I am just a very humble temporary residence here, whether I can become the Taishou of Longxi, it depends on what you mean, the king.
Although I, Gao Yue, have occupied a county with my army, I am not a rebel, on the contrary, I am very loyal to the court and admire the king. As long as the king is willing to accept the status quo and recognize my status, then after I am stable, I am willing to do my best as the vanguard of the king to block the Xiongnu army and prevent these Hu people from reaching out to the king's Qinzhou.
In the end, the flattery and praise of Sima Bao, the king's fame and strength are so strong, the princes of this world, there is no one who can compare to you, as if it is the current optimus pillar of the imperial court, and I Gao Yue is very willing to follow behind the king.
Looking at these two passages, there is not much text, and the second one can only be regarded as a long sentence. However, they are all words and words, firmly grasp the theme, and point out the key points. The difference is only that the object of service is different, and the subject matter is also different.
The first article was shown to the imperial court, and it grasped the words "loyalty, diligence and king". The Chang'an Imperial Court is now declining, and it is not too much to say that it is dying. At this time, there were even subordinate feudal towns on the table, and they took the initiative to express their willingness to be Qinwang, which was equivalent to a shot in the arm for Chang'an, and this kind of surprise went without saying.
Although the imperial court is in decline, it is still orthodox after all, and the name of righteousness cannot be ignored. Gao Yue is willing to be the king, but he has no name yet, which is unreasonable. Therefore, the imperial court will inevitably reward him and reward him with a famous name. Not only for Gao Yue to see, but also for the whole world to see, to encourage and exhort.
As for the second part. It's straightforward and straight to the point. Turning it over and over is the three words of low posture. It shows that although Gao Yue occupies Longxi, he admits that this is the territory of the king Sima Bao, and I have no intention of confronting you, the king, and I can also submit to the king. As long as you recognize my status, I am even willing to fight enemies you don't like for you.
In short, with the court, speak with the integrity of loyalty; With Sima Bao, it is exchanged for realistic interests. The two pieces are to the point, concise and to the point, without any sense of procrastination and redundancy.
After reading the two articles, Gao Yue couldn't help but read them word by word, and the more he read, the more he loved it. In addition, what made him excited was that on the letterhead, the thick ink handwriting was fresh and elegant through the back of the paper, and there was a hearty feeling of being done in one go.
This handwriting is exactly the handwriting of the dragon and snake on the recruitment notice that Gao Yue saw in front of the county government when he first joined the army in Shouyang County!
Good article. Good word. Then, people must also be excellent in morality and wisdom. I didn't have the opportunity to meet that day, and I can't miss it now. Gao Yue read it three times in a row, his pulse was excited, and sweat was dripping on his broad forehead.
Who wrote this? Say it! ”
The two soldiers who sent the letter to ask Gao Yue to review it, seeing Gao Yue looking at it, his face became more and more different, and when he arrived, his sword eyebrows were already deeply locked, and his tiger eyes were flashing, and the two of them did not know why, worried that the sparse text was unbearable, causing Gao Yue to be angry.
When he was worried about himself, he suddenly heard Gao Yue's urgent question, and one of them was excited, and the other hurriedly responded: "Return, return to the lord." This was written by a ghostwriter that Zhu Gongcao was looking for on Chengxi Street. I heard that this person has a very good writing handwriting, and he is outstanding among all the ghostwriters on that street. I don't know ...... lord."
Gao Yue patted the edge of the bed and said loudly: "Not only is it outstanding among ghostwriters!" ”
The other soldier didn't hear the meaning, and said, "If there is anything wrong with his writing, the two of us will go and arrest him, and ask the lord to punish him in person." ”
"Bastard!" Gao Yue shouted angrily, and the two of them were shocked again, at a loss. Gao Yue didn't have time to explain, he only urged: "Go and invite this person quickly, hurry!" ”
The two soldiers turned around and left. Regardless of whether the punishment is imposed or not, anyway, bring people to talk about it.
Gao Yuewu was a little relieved, and hurriedly said to Feng Liang: "You go with me personally and invite this gentleman." Remember, be respectful and polite, don't be rude, and go. ”
Seeing Gao Yue's hurried tone, Feng Liang responded, and immediately turned around and ran out, leaving Gao Yue alone in the inner room.
After waiting for a while, Gao Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and he wanted to turn over and stand up and go out of the door. However, the wound has not even been scabbed, and the movement is slightly larger, and the tendons and bones are involved, and the pain is incomparable, and the only way to look at the neck is to see.
Gao Yue felt that it had been a long time, and finally saw Feng Liang trotting in from outside the hall, and before anyone arrived, a voice had already come: "Big brother, Mr. ghostwriter has already brought it, so he is waiting outside the hall." ”
"Come in!"
After a short time, two soldiers politely led a person in, and the soldiers bowed and left.
Gao Yue hurriedly raised his eyes to take a closer look. I saw that this person was seven feet three inches tall and had a fair face. A pair of bright eyes are deep and wise, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, and it is very delicate and elegant.
This person was thin, very casually draped in a white-washed azure blouse, and his hair was casually tied in a flat bun, and he didn't even wear a scarf, showing a bit of lazy and uninhibited temperament.
Looking at the face, he should be in his twenties. He stood at the bottom of the hall, calmly, with a calm expression, and even looked at Gao Yue with his eyes open, with some curiosity.
Gao Yue smiled: "May I ask sir, the surname Gao's name?" Gui Geng this year? ”
The man put his hands into his sleeves, bowed down, and said unhurriedly, "Don't dare." Under Yang Ke, the word Shunchen, this year is the year of the weak crown. I've seen General Gao. ”
The year of the weak crown is twenty years old. Gao Yue nodded, he didn't expect this person to be so young. He heard this Yang Ke call himself General Gao, and he didn't flatter him to call him Mingfu, Taishou and the like, and he had a good impression of Yang Ke in his heart.
At present, the imperial court has not officially appointed Gao Yue as the Taishou of Longxi, so the best title for Gao Yue is to call him a general.
"Gao's embarrassment, it is very rude to meet the honored guest, don't be surprised, sir, please sit down." Gao Yue said, then motioned to Feng Liang to move the chair and asked Yang Ke to sit down, Yang Ke thanked him, and sat down slowly.
