Chapter 493: Lobbyist
To put it mildly, since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, even since the beginning of the Xia Shang Dynasty, the number of times the position of regent has appeared is only a handful. The most famous are Zhou Gong and Wang Mang, the former is famous for "Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart", but the latter is considered a hypocrite and can be regarded as notorious.
Gao Yanzong is at the peak of his life, both physically and energetically, but Gao Changgong serves as the regent and leads the military and government of the country, and the meaning revealed is naturally self-evident.
Dugu Yongye can be in charge of himself, guarding a place in Luozhou for many years without losing, whether it is martial arts or resourcefulness, he is naturally not an ordinary person. Huan Hai for many years, Dugu Yongye's political sense of smell, for the overall situation is naturally good, for the purpose of coming to Luoyang this time, even if he can't guess in detail, but it is also eight or nine ten.
Dugu Yongye recognized the identity of Gao Changgong as the regent in his words, and he was very enthusiastic about his happy attitude, and the meaning he expressed was naturally happy, and he secretly said in his heart: Dugu Yongye is really a wonderful person, and this trip should be very smooth.
Thinking of this, he smiled meaningfully and affectionately with Dugu Yongyeqian.
Entering the meeting room, the other officials left, and Happy and Dugu Yongye sat down as guests. After the maid served the tea and snacks and retreated, she happily took a sip of tea, and then she bowed to Dugu Yongye on the main seat and said: "General Dugu, the boy is here to visit you on behalf of his father, and the second is to correct your name as a general." ”
After a pause, he happily continued: "The puppet emperor Gao Wei favored the traitor and acted perversely, causing turmoil in the world and the people living in poverty, so that the Zhou people had a chance to take advantage of it, and he was really a sinner of my Daqi." Some time ago, the puppet emperor slandered General Dugu for rebellion, and the people were all indignant, and the kid was also very angry. And this week, the thief retreated, and my father remembered that the general was infamous for you, so he asked me to come and correct the general's name in person, and I am deeply sorry for the injustice that the general has suffered these days! As he spoke, he stood up happily and bent down deeply.
I am glad that although this move has an element of showmanship, it is also sincere. It is precisely because of Dugu Yongye who guarded Luozhou alone that the Northern Zhou Dynasty had returned several times in vain, otherwise according to the beasts and incompetent actions of the Gao royal family, the Northern Qi would have perished long ago.
And in this troubled era, starvation is everywhere, and people are scattered, but a few places in Luozhou are quite peaceful, which is really commendable in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, which shows that Dugu Yongye's character and ability are worthy of admiration.
"The old man just did his duty, the prince praised it falsely, he deserves a big gift from General Gao, please get up quickly!"
Although Dugu Yongye did not smile because of the happy praise, he was also very happy in his heart. The sedan chair carries people, and no one likes to listen to other people's abuse and ridicule. Saying that, Dugu Yongye quickly got up, stepped forward and hugged Xingxing, without letting him bow down completely.
Happy and not pretentious, got up with the situation, and said modestly: "General Dugu, the kid is young and knowledgeable, and he shouldn't be called so by the adult, if you don't mind, the adult will call the kid by his first name." ”
"That's fine, old man, call you a good nephew." Dugu Yongye said happily: "Virtuous nephew, please take a seat!" ”
"General, please!" After sitting down again, the relationship between the two parties is much closer, although this is only on the surface.
After sitting down happily, Dugu Yongye was the first to ask: "Virtuous nephew, this time to repel the Zhou thief, the regent and you are indispensable, but it's a pity that the old man is too far away to kill the enemy in person!" ”
He shook his head with a happy smile and said, "General, the little nephew thinks that it is a real good thing if all the soldiers in the world don't have to fight." ”
Dugu Yongye was stunned at first, then laughed, and said with a sigh: "The virtuous nephew has the style of a father, generous and benevolent, which is really my luck and the blessing of the people, but the old man is greedy and warlike, and he seems narrow-minded!" ”
"The general is humble, you have been fighting for half your life, ensuring the safety and well-being of the people of Luozhou, and you are a model in the world!" After a pause, he said happily: "The absence of war in the world is just a fantasy of the little nephew, otherwise wouldn't it make many people have nothing to do and be hungry?" It's just that every time I think of the destruction of the fertile land, the destruction of the city, and the miserable appearance of the people, the little nephew's heart is very heavy! ”
Hearing this, the smile on Dugu Yongye's face suddenly retracted most of it, and his glittering eyes also revealed a bit of amazement. It is precisely because he is accustomed to seeing life and death that he understands what he said that no matter whether the war is won or lost, the damage caused to the city and the lives of the people is extremely huge.
Both of them were silent for a while, then happily turned their heads to look at Dugu Yongye, and said with burning eyes: "General Dugu, I don't know what you think of the current situation in my Daqi?" ”
Dugu Yongye sat upright, on the surface, the clouds were light and light, but in his heart he was actually slightly shocked, and said secretly: It's coming. After being silent for a long time, Dugu Yongye said: "Now that the Zhou State is newly defeated, the Chen State is too busy to take care of itself, and the Turks have no intention of going south for the time being, so they are stable." The new emperor ascends the throne, and there is a regent in power, and the country is rich and the people are just around the corner! ”
Happy raised his eyebrows, not very satisfied with Dugu Yongye's answer. He asked Dugu Yongye's opinion on the situation, which was actually a vague attempt to let Dugu Yongye express his position, but the latter avoided the important and trivialized, and his true intentions were not expressed.
I am glad to come to Luozhou to persuade Dugu Yongye to support Gao Changgong with a clear banner and lay the foundation for Gao Changgong to go further.
It is true that Gao Changgong is now unparalleled in power, but today's Northern Qi is not monolithic. Coupled with the newly acquired states, Gao Changgong actually controls only a quarter of the country, Rencheng Wang Gao, Yecheng Gao Wei, Luozhou Dugu Yongye, and the princes who are waiting and watching from all over the country.
Although Dugu Yongye's position is not very high, the 100,000 soldiers in Luozhou are not easy, but they are the strongest among all. Such a fierce general is happy and wants to take it for his own use, so that it can also deter others.
"General, although the foreign enemy has retreated now, my Great Qi Dynasty is chaotic and calamities are continuous, and the situation is still not optimistic!" Xing Xing stared at Dugu Yongye tightly, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate into his heart, "When I came, my father once said that General Dugu is talented, and I hope you can do your best for the prosperity of Daqi." ”
Dugu Yongye arched his hand and said: "The prince carries love, the old man does not have the talent to pass through the heavens and the earth, but he can also be loyal to his duties, conscientious, and will live up to the trust of the prince." ”
These words are plausible, obviously Dugu Yongye showed good intentions, but he was unwilling to be the first bird, and the name of a traitor was not good.
Happy eyes narrowed suddenly, then slowly relaxed, lowered his head and picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, then continued: "General, the little nephew heard such a rumor when he was in Shuozhou, saying that today's saints like to play around, often have wonderful ideas, once ordered people to go to the toilet in high-rise buildings, let the prisoners of serious crimes use their mouths to pick up, or mix it with food, and order the prisoners to swallow it, although this method is indecent, but it has a miraculous effect, and the people under the rule are more peaceful and self-controlled, and dare not make mistakes. ”
After speaking, Happy lowered his head to blow the tea stalk on the water, and did not look at Dugu Yongye's expression. However, Dugu Yongye's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and his mind was quite unsettled.
Dugu Yongye also knows about this rumor, but things are not the same as what Happy said. In fact, the person who went to the toilet in the high-rise building was Gao Yanzong himself, and it was not a prisoner who ate downstairs, but a person who Gao Yanzong did not like, if he did not eat, he would order someone to beat him or even kill him.
Although Gao Yanzong is not as cowardly as Gao Wei, and his brain seems to be much better, the evil things he sat down were not much worse than the latter. This is exactly what you say, the Gao royal family, all the beasts.
Happy to make this insinuation, it is clear that Gao Yanzong has a bad character, despicable and tyrannical, no different from Gao Wei, he is not the master, he has almost nakedly forced Dugu Yongye to show his attitude.
"It's that the old man is busy with political affairs, and he is a little lonely and unheard, and he has never heard of this!" Dugu Yongye is worthy of being a treacherous and cunning, he still pretends to be stupid and stunned, and does not comment on Gao Yanzong, but what he clearly means is that he only does what he does and does not bother with anything else.
He sneered happily, then put down the teacup and said with a smile to Dugu Yongye: "General Dugu is meticulous, and his hard work is really admirable. As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "General, the little nephew has a personal matter that I want to ask you for help." After speaking, he glanced around happily.
Dugu Yongye had no choice but to wave his hand to let the servants disperse and close the door. Dugu Yongye sat up slightly straight, smiled and said happily: "It's quiet here, there is nothing wrong with the virtuous nephew, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if the old man does his best, he will not refuse." ”
Happy smiled in his heart, then sat up straight, took out a grimace mask from his arms, and put it on Dugu Yongye's face suspiciously.
"General Dugu, don't come to Qizhou?" Standing up happily, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes were bright, and he said lightly.
Familiar person, familiar voice, Dugu Yongye's face changed suddenly, his body instantly straightened, and the expression in his eyes changed sharply. Happy this move clearly told him that he was the biggest "traitor" who had appeared in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and Gao Changgong, the king of Sui, had a strong reaction early on, and he had accumulated a huge amount of strength for this.
Although his heart was shaken, Dugu Yongye quickly regained his composure and said, "Virtuous nephew, what are you kidding to make the old man confused?" ”
"General, Ming people don't say secret words, why do you knowingly ask?" Happily said that he took off the mask, and looked at Dugu Yongye tightly: "The little nephew knows that you are well aware of righteousness, generosity and benevolence, and it is because of that day that you led an army of 50,000 to stop outside Qingzhou, I am afraid that you do not want to cause the people to fall into fire and water, so make such a fearless battle!" ”
"In recent years, the court of Daqi has become more and more decaying, the national strength has become weaker and weaker, the lives of the people are miserable, foreign enemies are eyeing each other, and wars are continuous.
Xingxing took a step forward and said with an excited face: "Although Xingxing is confident and not afraid of thousands of troops, but with my own strength, I can repel Zhou Jun and Chen * Jun once, what about two or three times?" The puppet emperor is faint, but the new emperor also lacks responsibility, even if he is encouraged to maintain, how long can it be? If you take this opportunity to make up your mind to reform the old and establish the new, and the people's hearts will return, Daqi can restore its former prosperity, and the people can also be stable and happy! ”
"General, I am glad to ask you, I hope you can look at the face of the ancestor Emperor Shenwu, look at the face of thousands of struggling people, stand up, work together with us, and return this world to a prosperous and prosperous world!"
