Wang Shichong nodded, gave a detailed explanation of Changsun Sheng's situation and Li Jing, and even bluntly said that the attempt of tens of thousands of mysterious people to besiege Daxing was also his own doing. Li Jing listened to too many secrets today, and this time he was no longer surprised, and he thought for a long time while listening, nodding from time to time, until Wang Shichong finished speaking, and then sighed: "It's really difficult to be the eldest grandson general." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at Li Jing: "Then from the perspective of the pharmacist, will this eldest grandson general be able to be a friend in the future, or will he be an enemy?" ”

The light in Li Jing's eyes flashed, he rode on the horse and thought in a daze, even the yellow-maned horse under the seat seemed to understand his master's thoughts, lowered his head, and did not move.

After a long time, Li Jing slowly spoke: "In Li's opinion, it is better not to provoke Changsun Sheng. There are too many variables in this person, and the slightest carelessness will affect future events. ”

Wang Shichong said "oh": "I want to hear it in detail." In fact, he already had this opinion in his heart, but now he wants to hear Li Jing's analysis and judgment.

Li Jing glanced at Wang Shichong, who was looking at him eagerly, and analyzed it unhurriedly: "First of all, we have to figure out Changsun Sheng's position and thoughts. The eldest grandson family was the founding minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but by the time of the eldest grandson Sheng's father, it had already declined with the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

"Changsun Sheng is not the eldest son of the Changsun family, but the third son of his father, although Changsun Sheng is very famous. But his official position is not too high. And it was the emperor who really promoted and reused him. The lord just said that this eldest grandson Sheng once took refuge in Yang Guang. But later, he was dissatisfied because he was not awarded the position of Donggong Guard, and turned to Yang Yong, which doomed Changsun Sheng to not be much used in Yang Guang's dynasty, let alone be regarded as his own person. ”

"But Changsun Sheng is different from the lord in one thing, that is, he understands the internal affairs of the Turks, and his relationship with the Qimin Khan is far greater than the relationship between the ordinary foreign envoys and the Turkic Great Khan, and it can be said that he is the life-saving benefactor of the Qimin Khan."

"I'm afraid that the Qimin Khan only listens to Changsun Sheng's words in the Great Sui, which is why Yang Guang can't move Changsun Sheng yet. Because Yang Guang also needed Changsun Sheng to help him stabilize the Turks. Otherwise, he was forced to flee to the Turks, saying that he would move the Khan of Qimin and raise troops to start a war with the Great Sui, that would be the day when the country would have no peace. ”

"There is another reason, which also leads to the fact that Yang Guang cannot attack Changsun Sheng now, that is, Changsun Sheng knows too much about the Turkic internal affairs, and it can be said that he is the first person in our dynasty to grasp the internal affairs of the Turks. If we leave him, then our DPRK's intelligence on the Turks will be greatly affected, and we will become deaf and blind. There is no way to know when the Turks will change their stance and raise an army against me. ”

"So although Changsun Sheng can't enter Yang Guang's inner circle. But don't worry about safety for the time being, Yang Guang shouldn't be able to leave him. Changsun Sheng is also very aware of this, he will not have any hope in Yang Guang's dynasty, and at his current age, it is impossible to do anything more. ”

"So Changsun Sheng's current state should be that he has no desires and no desires, and no longer thinks about becoming an official and a knight, but from time to time he arranges for the Turks to come to the Great Sui Dynasty to meet and pay tribute to prove his worth, and remind Yang Guang that if he wants to stabilize the Turks, he can't leave himself, that's all!"

Wang Shichong smiled and nodded: "The pharmacist is a great talent, he can make such an analysis in such a short time, Wang admires." ”

Wei Zheng followed up and asked, "There is no problem with the pharmacist's analysis, can you explain this coping strategy again?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly and said: "Li Mou has made it clear just now that Changsun Sheng no longer has the ambition he had in the first dynasty, and he will no longer think about building a city and fort to the north and pushing the Great Wall to the desert line. Peace is now a blessing for him. And in Yang Liang's rebellion, his eldest son, Changsun Wunai, also died, and I heard that Changsun Sheng's ex-wife died early, leaving two sons, and he later married a wife Gao and gave birth to a pair of children. ”

"I'm afraid that the current general eldest grandson is also restless at home, and determining the new sister-in-law is enough to give him a headache, and he has to settle his own wife and young sons, and the family is restless, how can he have the energy to fight in the officialdom? After all, he has become famous all over the world in his life, even if he can't get out of the general, he can still leave a name in history, but if the matter of the heir is not handled well, the reputation of the first half of his body may be ruined. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, family and everything is prosperous, this truth is right, Changsun Sheng has been going back and forth between the Turks and the Great Sui for so many years, and it is estimated that he does not have much time to take care of his family affairs, this time his eldest son Changsun Wunai died in Yang Liang's rebellion, and he was loyal to the country, this matter should hit him hard, enough to extinguish his ambition to enter the prime minister." ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "Wei doesn't see it that way, when the last time the rebellion was suppressed, Changsun Sheng still had some ideas, and he didn't want to completely turn to Yang Guang at first, and even helped Dou Luyu to secretly communicate with the Turks, until Changsun Wunai was killed, out of the idea of avenging his son, he completely served the court, I think he should also turn his hatred to Yang Guang, it may not be useless for us." ”

Li Jing smiled: "There is such a possibility, but it is more likely that he has been disheartened and does not want to provoke right and wrong, in fact, so far, those who are willing to make friends with us and try to do great things in the future are either ambitious people, or people who are precarious and want to protect themselves." Changsun Sheng has nothing to do with these two people, so the most basic condition for him to cooperate with us is his motive, or his own will. ”

"In this case, if we have to befriend him, the result is nothing more than forcing him to report us to Yang Guang, because even if he works with us, the result will not be better than it is now.

Wang Shichong was a little unbelieving in his heart, and said, "Changsun Sheng shouldn't take the initiative to betray us." ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "On this point, Wei agrees with the pharmacist, my lord, the last time Changsun Sheng was in the camp outside Daxing City, Wei had actually seen through his character. Changsun Sheng has been playing conspiracy and darkness all his life. I've been buying all my life. Betrayal and betrayal of others. It's just that in the past, he was targeting the Turks. For the Khan of Qimin, he lured him with small profits, and then caused people to be ruined, the people scattered, and finally forced people to be cornered, and then deceived him into the border pass, so that he became a vassal of my Great Sui, isn't this a betrayal. Isn't it betrayal of friends? ”

"What's more, neither we nor the lord have such a deep friendship with him, and even know a lot of unsightly things about him. He has enough motives to get rid of us, and if we take the initiative to find Changsun Sheng, it will be tantamount to giving him this opportunity, and he will definitely not let it go. ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said, "You are right, you really can't risk it on him. Then it's better not to provoke him. By the way, the wife of Changsun Sheng later married was surnamed Gao? Is it a high-ranking servant? ”

Li Jing suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know anything." This eldest grandson Sheng later married the Gao family, but he has a great background. It is after the authentic Northern Qi clan. ”

"Gao's grandfather, Gao Yue, is the cousin of Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi, King of Qinghe, and has done it to the left servant of Shangshu. And Gao's father, Le'an Wang Gao Mao, also did the left servant of the Northern Qi Dynasty, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, Gao Li was not killed, saved a life, and served as a four-term state assassin after entering the Sui. The marriage between Changsun Sheng and the Gao family obviously also valued the huge influence and status of the Gao family in the hometown of Northern Qi. ”

"Gao Mao died in the last year of the emperor, his son Gao Shilian became the head of the family, this person is quite talented at a young age, although he is not as famous as Fang Xuanling, but he is also a little famous in the second generation of officials in Daxingcheng, and he also handled the matter of marrying his sister."

Wei Zheng sighed: "Therefore, the current eldest grandson Sheng has no motivation to strive for fame, his eldest son is over forty years old, and the remaining two sons are also in the prime of life, and her step-family may not be as old as his son, and the young son and daughter born later are now two children less than seven or eight years old." I once heard Fang Xuanling say that the two sons born to Changsun Sheng's ex-wife, Changsun Wuao and Changsun Wuxian, have a very tense relationship with the Gao family. ”

"Even the eldest grandson Wuao once publicly threatened to sweep the Gao family out of the house after his father was a hundred years old, and now that the eldest grandson is dead, it is said that the position of the eldest grandson's sister-in-law will be the turn of the eldest grandson Wuao, and his attitude towards his stepmother and younger brother is like this, can it not give the eldest grandson a headache?"

Wang Shichong's heart moved, and asked, "How can Fang Xuanling, an eighth-grade official, know about the family affairs of the eldest grandson's family?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "This Gao Shilian is quite famous among the children of the family in Daxing, and has a good relationship with Fang Xuanling, often drinking and writing poems together, the family affairs of the eldest grandson's family, there was also a time when Gao Shilian drank too much and confided in Fang Xuanling, Wei intended to collect some news between the sons of the family when he was in Daxing, and he made up this matter when chatting with Fang Xuanling. ”

Wang Shichong said: "Then since the Gao family is a powerful person and has a connection with Changsun Sheng, can we first befriend Gao Shilian, and then contact him to influence Changsun Sheng later?" After all, Changsun Sheng can contact the Turks, which is a very big variable in troubled times. ”

Li Jing frowned slightly: "My lord, Li has his own opinion on the outreach Turk you mentioned. ”

"We are laying out this way today, making friends with heroic people, in order to deal with the future chaos in the world, if we take advantage of the troubled times to introduce the Turkic steppe wolf into the Central Plains, it will not be a repeat of the tragedy of the five chaos in China? How can we face the souls of our ancestors after death? If the lord has this kind of thought, then Li Jing can't follow. ”

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood, and couldn't help laughing out loud immediately, he stood with Li Jing while laughing, but he couldn't speak for a while.

Li Jing was a little annoyed when he saw Wang Shichong like this, and said, "Why is the lord laughing like this? Li didn't know what was funny. ”

Wang Shichong finally finished laughing, holding his stomach with one hand, swaying with the other, and said, "Pharmacist, you really don't know me Wang Shichong." I hate traitors the most in my life, how could I take the initiative to take refuge with the Turks in troubled times and bring them to the Central Plains? Please remember my words, I, Wang Shichong, would rather die in battle than lead foreign races into the customs and be the sinners of the ages. ”

Li Jing's brows widened, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I believe the lord's words, but since that's the case?" Why do you never forget this eldest grandson? You also said that you value his relationship with the Turks. ”

Wang Shichong sat up straight on his horse and said, "I value the relationship between Changsun Sheng and the Turks, not for me to attract the Turks as foreign aid. Rather, it is to ensure that no other careerist will collude with the Turks in troubled times. Become our formidable adversary. ”

"The northern border. Shuofang, Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Youzhou all directly border with the Turks, and the Wuwei and Dunhuang areas near the Western Regions are also connected with the Western Turks. ”

A smile appeared on Li Jing's face: "So the lord wants Changsun Sheng to persuade Qimin Khan." Let him give up this idea of robbing the Central Plains? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, with a stern expression: "No, the inside story of the Turks may not be very clear to the pharmacist, and the Qimin Khan is weak and powerless, and he can't control his subordinates who are like wolves and tigers." You see that his Khan court is in Dali City in the south of the desert, how can it be possible to make the thousands of small tribes north of the desert submit? Therefore, Qimin's control of the Turks is only nominal, and the real power of the Turks will definitely fall on his three sons in the future. ”

"Qimin's three sons were fierce steppe wolves, fierce, cruel, and cunning, and they were very dissatisfied with their father's practice of defecting to the Han and being willing to be vassals. Now these three steppe wolves are all running their own forces in Mobei. Annexing and subduing those small tribes, Qimin is also happy to be the shopkeeper. It is up to his three sons to grow and develop. ”

Li Jing's eyebrows moved: "So, in the future, the three sons of Qimin Khan will be enemies of our dynasty?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded affirmatively: "This is a sure thing, the pharmacist doesn't know, these three little khans have already started to contact my outlaws in the Great Sui, trying to smuggle pig iron from the Great Sui, and their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed." I've been in contact with one of them, the Prince, and I know him very well. ”

Li Jing gasped: "The pig iron trade with the Turks is strictly forbidden by our court, and if you catch smuggling more than 100 catties, you will lose your head, who dares to do such a thing?" ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "Pharmacist, there is a merchant saying that I will give to you, the higher the risk, the greater the profit!" It is precisely because you have to carry your head to do this kind of business, so once you succeed in this business, how much will the benefits be ten times greater? It is also possible to make good relations with the future Turkic Khan through guò this kind of transaction, so don't think that no one will do it. ”

Li Jing's face became gloomy: "Who is it?" ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "The two sons of Zuo Wuwei's general Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi. ”

Li Jing was a little surprised, as if he didn't believe his ears: "How could it be them?" ”

Wang Shichong said: "Yuwenshu has always been unscrupulous, and he has done everything he can to speculate and drill. And Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and his brothers, are also well-known evil young people in Daxing City, Yu Wenhua and have always had the reputation of a light and thin son, and Yu Wenzhi and are notoriously fierce and tyrannical, plus these two people are extremely greedy, what's so strange about doing this? ”

Li Jing sighed: "I don't doubt the character of Brother Yuwen, what are these two things, everyone in the family knows it, and there is no one who does not disdain it." ”

"But Yuwenshu is already a very good minister, when he was the left guard rate of the East Palace, Yang Guang in order to give him an official and a knight, specially increased the left guard rate that has always been only the fourth grade to the third grade, and also married him with a family of children and daughters, and gave the Nanyang princess Xu to his third son Yu Wenshi and, and at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he made him the Duke of Xu Guo. Now among Yang Guang's favorite ministers, Yu Wenshu is the first person who deserves to be among the generals. ”

"From the first emperor to Yang Guang, the rewards for the Yuwen family are incalculable, and even the thousands of slaves of his family go out on high-headed horses, wearing gold and silver, and rampage through Daxing City. Is it necessary for this Yuwen brother to do this headless thing for a little money? Is their brains watered?! ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and said, "Pharmacist, their brains are not flooded, these two people don't want to make money much, but they want to take the opportunity to make friends with Turkic nobles in order to realize their ambitions as unreliable people." ”

"Yuwenshu also knows too many secrets of Yang Guang, and knows that the companion is like a tiger, and the Yuwen family can mobilize a large amount of pig iron from all over the country to trade, and along the way, it is impossible to rely on the two Yuwen brothers, it must be approved by Yuwenshu himself."

Li Jing said: "So Yuwenshu also has similar thoughts to us, and wants to seek a backer in the troubled times?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "I'm afraid that's exactly the case." It's just that Yu Wenshu's reputation is too stinky, and he has offended too many people in the process of climbing up. Not only the Han families in Shandong, such as the five surnames and Qiwang, who disdainfully associate with them, but also the Hu military nobles in Guanlong, are unwilling to make friends with their families, so they have to go to the Turks for companionship. In case of chaos in the world, Yuwenshu will definitely join the Turks in the north and lure the wolf into the house. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Li Jing seriously, and his tone was full of perseverance: "The pharmacist understands what I mean this time, Wang needs to find someone in the future to help block the Turks, so that they can't invade during the civil strife in the Central Plains, let alone let the three ambitious princes of the Turks get together with Yuwenshu and the like." In the world now, except for Changsun Sheng, I can't think of anyone else who has this kind of ability. ”

Li Jing laughed: "In that case, my lord, why don't you strike first, find a way to arrest Yu Wenhua and his brothers, and get rid of Yu Wenshu by the way?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "Pharmacist, you don't know, now I still have contact with the prince of the Ambience, because I must grasp the movements on the grassland, if I report Yuwenshu father and son, let's not say whether Yang Guang will believe me, so I will also cut off my own intelligence source on the grassland, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Li Jing let out an "oh" and didn't ask again, he was a smart person, and he knew what Wang Shichong had decided, and it was not too good to persuade him.

Wang Shichong was a little disappointed when he saw Li Jing's expression, and said with a smile: "Pharmacist, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that I still have some of my own considerations, I have traveled all over the world over the years, and I know that the heroes in the border areas are fighting the Turkic idea, and we can't casually have bad relations with the Turkic nobles now." ”

Li Jing nodded: "The lord doesn't need to explain, Li is completely understandable, it is still in the planning stage, if Yang Guang does not die by himself, maybe we will spend our lives safely like this." Li just needs to do his own thing. ”

When Li Jing said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the relationship between Gao Shilian and Hu Sizheng is very good, and Hu Sizheng has been in constant correspondence with Gao Shilian in the past few years here. It seems that he heard that Hu Sizheng and Gao Shilian's father have a relationship, and they have gone to Gao's house to play, and they have been surprised by Gao Shilian's talent since he was a child, and he suddenly became a year-old friend, and the relationship between the two has been maintained until now. ”

Wang Shichong suddenly thought of this Hu Sizheng and Han Shige's matter, and said: "The pharmacist has been here for more than a year, in your opinion, can your cousin and this Hu Sizheng be our help?" Your cousin has been doing business with me for many years, and in the initial stage of my business, the Han family had secretly invested a lot of money, but a few years ago, Han Shige asked for the money to be realized, so I gave them dozens of industrial stores all over the country. ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "My cousin has always regretted that he was short-sighted and did not continue to cooperate with his lord. Originally, Li wanted to talk to the two of you about this at the beginning today, but he became interested in talking about other things, and this most important thing was neglected. My cousin Han Shimo has long been dissatisfied with Yang Guang. ”

"His father Han Baohu had a great merit in destroying Chen, but the emperor deliberately connived at He Ruobi to compete with him, and after Ping Chen, he also left him idle and no longer took charge of the army, although Han Baohu didn't say it, but he was depressed in his heart, so he died within two years."

"In addition, Han Baohu's second brother Han Seng Shou is also a veteran who has become a general in the early years of the emperor, and he has also had military exploits to break the Turks over the years, and he has accumulated contributions to the Supreme Pillar Kingdom, but as soon as Yang Guang came to power, out of the need to suppress the military merits of Guanlong, he was given the title of a county duke, and sent home to retire, and now the old general is sulking at home alone."

"The worst thing is that Han Shige's third brother Han Hong, who was pitted by a false information of unknown origin, and lost his official position with my brother Li Yaowang, and now the Han family's resentment against Yang Guang can be said to be skyrocketing, except for Han Shige, who was a thorn in other states, he is no longer in charge of the army at all. Therefore, from the early years of Renshou, Han Shige entrusted me to make some powerful people before he took office in Yingzhou, so as to prevent changes. (To be continued......)
