PS: Next, I will enter the chapter of Tubo, welcome all book friends to follow Li Jing to browse the mysterious Tubo that was just emerging at that time, this barbaric, fierce, but fascinating snowy plateau country, to see the rise of Tubo, strong.
Yang Guang's eyes lit up: "Wang Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "The minister doesn't dare to discuss it, but the minister's duty is to remind His Majesty, don't ignore the possibility of Goguryeo and the Turks secretly colluding!" ”
Yang Guang's face changed greatly: "What! Wang Aiqing, you say it again. How could the Turks collude with Goguryeo? You can't talk nonsense! What evidence do you have? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Weichen doesn't have any evidence, just based on intuition and experience, Goguryeo and our Great Sui have no permanent envoys, and they don't even have business travel, but they learned the news of His Majesty's great victory in the Western Expedition is faster than Silla and Baekje, which have always had trade contacts with our Great Sui, this time even these two friendly vassal states did not send envoys to congratulate, but Goguryeo sent a delegation with the vice minister to come, Your Majesty, this can't help but make people suspicious." ”
Yang Guang thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Goguryeo has regarded the Great Sui as an enemy country for many years, so on the surface, there seems to be no contact, but secretly there are eyeliner and spies, maybe it's not because of this, it can't be said that the Turks revealed the news to them." ”
Wang Shichong smiled and said, "If they have spies in the Great Sui, then why do they send envoys here?" Isn't that a big deal! If you want to know whether the Turks and Goguryeo have a secret connection, you just need to go to the Turks to investigate. Check it out! ”
Yang Guang nodded: "What Aiqing said is very agreeable. It's just after the death of Changsun Sheng. Who else has access to Turkic information? ”
Wang Shichong grinned: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the first emperor sent Princess Yicheng to the Turks and relatives, but she has always been loyal to Her Majesty, the year before last, when Her Majesty led the army out of the fortress to inspect, Princess Yicheng also followed the Qimin Khan to see His Majesty, according to Weichen, Princess Yicheng has been in the Turks for more than ten years, and has her own intelligence system. In the past, when Weichen and General Changsun inquired about some Turkic affairs, Princess Yicheng also helped a lot, but now that General Changsun is gone, why not take this opportunity to get in touch with Princess Yicheng, so that he can directly obtain Turkic information from her in the future? ”
Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, why didn't I think of this all along?" Haha, Wang Aiqing, you have a good idea for me again! ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Weichen doesn't dare to be." Your Majesty is always in charge, and sometimes some small things may not be taken care of. Weichen is blunt, but sometimes the small things involving themselves can think of some other aspects, which is the so-called fool's thousand thoughts, and there is also one. ”
Yang Guang smiled and said: "If you Wang Aiqing are fools, there is no other smart person in this world." Then this time, I will let you be an ambassador, send an envoy to the Turks, go to connect with Princess Yicheng, and investigate the collusion between the Turks and Goguryeo, how about it? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Your Majesty, please ask Gao Ming, Weichen should not go to the Turks." ”
Yang Guang said "oh": "Why can't you?" I remember that your caravan has now mastered a lot of trade with the Turks, and after the death of General Changsun, the Great Sui is familiar with the Turkic affairs, that is, you and Pei Shilang. ”
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Because of this, it is not appropriate for Weichen to go, Weichen does have some relationship with the Turks, but the Turks also know this, if Weichen is the ambassador, then if the Turks have a connection with Goguryeo, they will definitely cut off this relationship, and even if Princess Yicheng helps at that time, I am afraid that nothing will be found out, and it will only delay state affairs." ”
Yang Guang nodded: "That's reasonable, but if someone else goes forward, his eyes are dark about the situation of the Turks, and even Princess Yicheng can't touch it, how can this be good?" ”
Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "It depends on the ability of the person sent, as long as the person has the ability, even if he doesn't know the Turks, he will have a way to connect with Princess Yicheng, and I don't lack such talents." ”
Yang Guang smiled slightly: "Then Wang Aiqing has a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "There are two people who are enough to hold this position, one is Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County, and the other is Feng Lun, the school secretary who is now a guest of Yu Shilang. ”
Yang Guang was slightly stunned: "Why these two people?" ”
Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Because they have such an ability, Li Mi has been idle since he withdrew from Yiwei a few years ago, and he has been living at home since he helped His Majesty deal with Yang Su's old department a few years ago, this person is talented, but he has not been famous, if His Majesty gives him a chance to make a contribution, I think he will be grateful to His Majesty." ”
Yang Guang pondered for a while and said: "Don't hide it from Wang Aiqing, after Li Mi helped clean Yang Su's old department last time, I originally intended to give him an official position, although I always felt that this son was ambitious and a restless person, but I also knew that talents were rare, plus he was born in the Guanlong family, and he also had the identity of the Shandong clan, I didn't want to embarrass him too much, but he refused, saying that he wanted to travel around the world and see all the rivers and mountains, so I didn't want to force it." As for Feng Lun, isn't he your enemy? Wang Aiqing, do you want to be virtuous and not avoid revenge? ”
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Feng Lun's enmity with Weichen is mainly due to jealousy, and the other is that Yang Su collapsed at that time, and he also needed credit to change the court." The personal grudge between the minister and him cannot be mistaken in state affairs, Feng Lun is still loyal to His Majesty, if he is given a chance to envoy to the Turks this time, he must be able to make a difference. ”
Yang Guang laughed: "Wang Aiqing, aren't you afraid that Feng Lun will soar in the future, will he continue to fight against you?" ”
Wang Shichong said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the minister sits upright and is loyal to His Majesty, he is not afraid that he can find out what is wrong, if the minister loses his self-discipline and does something illegal, it is also a good thing to have Feng Lun to help His Majesty supervise the minister." ”
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Aiqing really has the demeanor of a celebrity, I didn't see the wrong person, no matter what, the two people you mentioned, I will think about it carefully, oh, by the way, last time in Tuyuhun, I once asked you to be responsible for inspecting and inspecting the Yongji Canal dug by Ma Shumou, and now you have also returned to the Eastern Capital, the day before yesterday, Ma Shumou came to report, saying that in the past half a year of my western tour, the river has been dug up, just wait for my acceptance, you will work hard for me again, first take a boat from Yongji Canal, go to Jiangdu, Look at the quality of this canal, and also, Jiangdu, the palace I asked Zhang Heng to repair, you can also check it, if there is no problem, after I have dealt with the matter at hand for a while, I will have to go to Jiangdu. ”
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look of pride, and he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed: "The ministers are grateful!" (To be continued......)
