Section X

Wu Ming's thick eyebrows jumped, "Where is the root?" ”

Shang Yukun didn't answer directly, but shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Although China and the West are mostly born, but back then, Gaozu fought everywhere, and he also fought a few battles with the tribal alliance, and won big victories one after another. In the hearts of Chinese and Western civilians, the emperor of the Central Plains was powerful and invincible. Then Gaozu took his body as a bait, and took Lu Gongzi and several other aliens to go deep into China and the West, and signed a master-slave relationship with the tribal alliance at that time, and China and the West were thus divided into the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Gongzi's axe chisel and sawing skills are unparalleled in the world, and everyone is amazed by an angelica palace. ”

He closed the fan and said loudly: "In the past thousand years, the Eastern Han Dynasty has also experienced countless ups and downs. In the five major regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court's control over the central and western regions was the weakest. However, there were far fewer civil unrest in the central and western regions than in the northwest and northeast, and only slightly lower than in the Han Chinese-populated areas of Jiangnan and the Central Plains. What do adults think of this? ”

Wu Ming was naturally not stupid, and replied: "Naturally, the people's hearts are stable, although they are shengfan, but the centripetal force of the Central Plains is still heavy. ”

"That's right, it's the people's hearts are stable." Shang Yukun continued: "Although there are many ethnic groups in China and the West, they all admire the Central Plains culture and revere the imperial power. Almost all of them are proud to be Han. ”

Wu Ming frowned, "That being said, what does this have to do with my rule in China and the West?" ”

"It's a big deal." Shang Yukun laughed again: "Although the Eastern Han Dynasty has been divided into two, the Southern Han Dynasty occupies the position of righteousness, and most of the students recognize the Southern Han Dynasty as orthodox, so there will be no resistance to the rule of adults, and even a welcome attitude." Speaking of this, he glanced at the red night on Wu Ming's waist: "What's more, my lord, you have an artifact in your hand, and you are holding a sword like a high ancestor in person." The legend has been circulated in the Eastern Han Dynasty for thousands of years, and now many Han people in the Han Dynasty do not think so, but these people are greatly recognized. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Wu Ming and said slowly: "Therefore, the most urgent thing for your lord now is to get the position of the governor of China and the West from the imperial court." ”

Wu Ming was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "The position of the governor? ”

Shang Yukun nodded: "Yes, it is the position of the governor of China and the West." The so-called incorrect name is not good, although the adults have heavy troops in hand, due to the relationship between Liao Sangongzi, Qingting and Nanban are also independent. But if you want to be recognized by the common people, this position of governor of China and the West must be obtained first. ”

Although Wu Ming's face was unmoving, his heart was spinning like a windmill. I have thought about the idea of taking the initiative to fight for the position of governor, but I always feel that it is a little unrealistic, so I did not study it deeply. It was only after hearing Shang Yukun say so urgently that he realized that he had to fight, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "The governor has always been a respected person in the army, if I rush to fight, the prime minister and the queen mother are afraid that they will not agree." ”

"Your Excellency, you are wrong." As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Yukun shook his hand again and again: "Most of the central and western parts have entered the hands of the imperial court, and according to the usual practice, the imperial court must set up a governor to show sovereignty." So it's the general trend, and it's not a question of whether you fight or not. If it is said that he is highly respected, his lord has made a great name in the past few years, and it is more than enough to be the governor of one side. And the two provinces of China and the West have also fallen into the hands of adults, and according to the following, the position of governor is now none other than you. Even if the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are unwilling, they can only acquiesce to this fact. ”

Seeing that Wu Ming was still pondering, he continued to persuade: "With this position of governor, the rule of the Lord in China and the West is justified. In this way, interfering in the internal affairs of the tribes of Deng Ge and Zhu Lei also seems logical, it is not about the two of them, even other small and medium-sized tribes are much more taboo to adults. ”

Wu Mingben had a dispensable attitude towards the position of the governor of China and the West, and when he heard him say this, he knew the strictness of the matter, he stood up and bowed deeply: "Listening to Mr. today, I have a feeling of pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun, and Wu feels inexplicable. ”

By now, Wu Ming already knew that this Shang Yukun was not just a trick, but a real talent. In the future, there will definitely be places to rely on this person in the governance of China and the West. Even so, it is reasonable to be polite to him.

Shang Yukun also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally won the approval of his new master. As long as Wu Ming does not fall, the merchant can sit back and relax in Zhongxi, he quickly stood up and supported Wu Ming and said: "Yu Kun has returned to his heart, and he should give advice to adults." If you want to do this, you will really kill Yu Kun. ”

This Shang Yukun is a character, arrogant but not arrogant. But this kind of person is also more difficult to deal with, because you never know what he thinks in his heart, which sentence is true, which sentence is false, and it is always the interests of the first place. The so-called joy and anger are not good for color, which probably refers to this kind of person. Thinking of this, Wu Ming's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Shang Yukun. But I just saw the other party's lips move, as if he had something to say, but swallowed it back. He couldn't help but be stunned: "Mr. Shang, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, yes." Shang Yukun was obviously a little hesitant: "To make suggestions, you naturally have to be thorough, I hope that the adults will listen, don't say that I slander you with slander." ”

It seems that he must be going to slander someone, otherwise he would not be so serious. Wu Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "Although Wu doesn't stand up, he thinks he can still distinguish between right and wrong, but Mr. Shang says it's okay." ”

Shang Yukun gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, once the position of governor is in hand, how are you going to start?" ”

How do I get started? Wu Ming laughed: "Naturally, it is to concentrate military power and reform the military system. As for political affairs, then I have to trouble Mr. Shang to worry a lot. ”

Wu Ming had already planned for the reform of the military system. And he doesn't know anything about political affairs, the so-called "no suspicion in employing people, no need for suspicious people." "Shang Yukun has this talent, even if he entrusts him with Chinese and Western political affairs, it is not impossible.

Shang Yukun shook his head: "My lord misunderstood what I meant. Although his subordinates are interested in Chinese and Western political affairs, they are not yet in such power. ”

As soon as the relationship between the two was confirmed, he even changed his name. However, Wu Ming didn't have the heart to think about this, and said, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

"In troubled times, Zhuanzhi is always the most effective system. And the land of the four wars between China and the West should be even more so. After the position of governor of China and the West is in hand, the first thing adults should do is naturally to concentrate the military and political power, so that China and the West have only one voice to speak. ”

Wu Ming thought about it and vaguely understood. He raised his head for a while, looked at Shang Yukun and said, "What does Mr. mean, do you want me to make a move on the third prince of Liao?" ”

Anyway, his tongue had already stretched out halfway, and Shang Yukun simply turned his heart sideways and said, "My lord, the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers. Although the Liao family fell, Yu Wei was still there. Especially the third son, who is well-known in China and the West, if adults want to have long-term peace and stability in China and the West, this is a hurdle that must be faced. ”

Wu Ming leaned back in his chair a little dejectedly, waved his hand and said, "I know." ”

Seeing him like this, Shang Yukun couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and continued to persuade: "My lord, think twice......"

Wu Mingchang let out a long breath and said softly: "What Mr. Shang said, I naturally understand, and I will consider this matter carefully." Anything else? ”

Seeing that Wu Ming was not in high spirits, thinking that what he should say was said after all, and continuing to be brutal would only be annoying, Shang Yukun's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. He saluted and said, "In this case, my subordinates retired first......

Wu Ming didn't bother to say more to him, waved his hand, and saw Shang Yukun walking out of the tent, he let out a long sigh. Liao Gang is loyal and benevolent, if he only says that he is a human being, even Wu Ming himself admires him a lot. When I met Liao Gang five years ago, he was just a down-and-out child. At that time, Liao Gang had plans to join the Guards Battalion. When the strange plan was set up to break Shuanghui City, Liao Gang was still heavily armed. If he really betrayed his word and fought in the streets with 100,000 defenders in his hands, even if the Southern Han could go down to Shuanghui, it was estimated that he would suffer heavy losses. And with his prestige among the Chinese and Western people, if he can really break through the city, even if he makes a comeback, he will have a lot to do.

But he didn't, whether he kept his promise, whether he was compassionate to the heavens and people, in short, the city surrendered. not only surrendered, but also when he was in the north, he managed Shuanghui in an orderly manner, and the water could not be splashed, and the prime minister repeatedly wanted to install his cronies, but he blocked it.

Thinking of this, he sighed again and walked out. All the circumstances show that Liao Gang's loyalty to himself is beyond doubt.

But what can I do? Before Lan Ning left, Yang Yi made it clear to himself that he must seize power from Liao Gang. At that time, he was still a little unimpressed, thinking that as long as he asked the court for a reward, and then incorporated Liao Gang into his command, he still listened to himself. In this way, it is a happy situation for all. Now it seems that I am afraid that there is some wishful thinking.

Perhaps, Yang Yi's advice to himself did not mean Shang Yukun, but this kid's face was tender and it was difficult to say it too clearly.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming's heart sank. Yang Yi can be regarded as his most intimate subordinate, not only the head of the internal battalion, but also the prestige of the guard battalion after being promoted to the seventh rank. What he thinks in his heart can also represent the meaning of most of the generals in the Guards Battalion. Even, the words he said in Lanning were publicly proposed to him by everyone.

And Shang Yukun is a representative figure of China and the West who have taken refuge in him, and Yang Yi and him have no intersection before. As soon as he entered the city today, Shang Yukun came to find him in a hurry, and the two of them could not and had no chance to confess. But the two of them demanded in unison that they would attack Liao Gang and seize power from Liao Gang, which was a very strict matter.

He smiled wryly, walked all the way out of the tent, and walked outside. From this point of view, cleaning up Liao Gang has now become "what everyone wants", but hesitation, the main general, is still ignorant and hesitant. But if he wants to gain a foothold in China and the West, he must first weaken Liao Gang, which is a last resort.

Perhaps, a so-called famous general, a successful politician, are hypocritical and wrong-mouthed.

He thought about it, and walked towards Yululi's residence in a gloomy mood.
