Chapter 471: Gao Gong's Vote

Hongfu bit her lip lightly, and her face was already flushed, "I can't guess that." ”

"Let's tell you the truth, Gao Gong's current situation is quite bad. He continued to support the crown prince, if the prince can get the emperor's approval, and finally stabilize the throne and succeed to the throne, then before the emperor makes a big trip, he will definitely take away this old guy who has been with him for many years, maybe let him go down to fight the front station first, the emperor will never let Gao Gong, who has been in power for 20 years, and can continue to become the prime minister of the new dynasty. And if His Majesty finally wants to abolish the crown prince and is determined to replace the prince, the future of Gao Gong will be even worse. Whoever becomes the new prince will not be able to tolerate Gao Gong, a prime minister who has great prestige in the government and the opposition and supports the former crown prince. Maybe when the emperor is here, he can still withdraw from the court with dignity, but as soon as the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be the first batch to be eliminated. Therefore, the future of Gao Gong is quite bad, and no matter what, he will not be able to escape it. Unless, if he quits the center now, or dies suddenly, he may be able to keep his name and his family's wealth. Otherwise, hehe. Yi Feng's words are not untrue, they have a historical basis. Historically, Gao Gong was driven out of the center after the decisive battle with the Turks, and he was still driven out very undignified, because the emperor wanted to change the prince at that time, and Gao Gong always refused to support him, so he could only knock him down first, liquidate some minor problems, and kick him away. Later, the new emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yang Liang rebelled, Yang Guang pulled him out as a decoration for a few days in order to stabilize the people's hearts, and then within a few years, when the new emperor's power was stable, he immediately found a crime, killed the old man, and exiled his children and grandchildren to the frontier.

But is a person like Gao Gong who has been immersed in the center of power all his life willing to go through the torrent? Even if he wants to quit. But sometimes, people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves.

"If His Highness can get Gao Gong's support, it will definitely be of great help." Red Whisk said.

"If Gao Gong is willing to help me sincerely, it will be excellent. But I'm not going to think about anything like that, it's impossible. Yi Feng smiled, Yang Yong has been the prince for nineteen years, and Gao Gong has supported Yang Yong for nineteen years. In fact, the emperor chose this eldest son as the crown prince, and then specially arranged for Gao Gong to support Yang Yong, Yang Yong's concubine Gao Liangdi is Gao Gong's cousin, and Yang Yong's daughter married Gao Gong's third son. In fact, Gao Gong was originally the same year as the emperor, but in the end, he insisted that the emperor was the same generation as the prince. Nineteen years. The prince label on Gao Gong's body is already firmly and cannot be torn off at all, and it is impossible for Gao Gong to change his position. Unless the crown prince dies, then at that time, maybe Gao Gong will be able to get out of Yang Yong's side and instead support Yi Feng, who is justified in inheriting Yang Yong's legacy. However, Yi Feng didn't think that Yang Yong would die suddenly, although this guy likes women, he is obese and has hollowed out his body for wine. But now that he is still in the prime of life, he can still live for twenty or thirty years if there is no accident. By the time he died, Gao Gong would have died long ago.

"Is Gao Gong still in Mayi?"

"Nope. Our Gao Xiangguo is now busy cleaning up the mess he made before. He had been holding troops and guarding the horse and wanted to see my good show. As a result, I didn't expect to play myself in the pit, and now I've crippled Kuhezhen and Daman. Seeing that there were only two of the four Turkic armies left, he didn't act anymore. The Turks are either going to be wiped out by me, or they're going to run away. How could he sit idly by and watch such a situation happen. I received information that Gao Gong has now marched to Yunnei day and night, and He Ruobi's 50,000 soldiers and horses, who had only traveled 40 miles a day, have also rushed to the city of Yunnei at a speed of 100 miles a day. But this time, even if he captures Du Lan alive, after the war, he will definitely have to spend a lot of effort to explain to the emperor about the delay in supporting the army this time, I estimate that the king of Jin must have been contacting his henchmen to prepare to take advantage of this to participate in Gao Gong's book, after this battle, I am afraid that no matter who the emperor decides to inherit the Great Sui Empire in the future, Gao Gong will be the prime minister, the real prime minister. ”

Redwhisk frowned, "You seem to be happy to see such a result. ”

"Indeed, since this old man can't be used by me, of course it's best to kick him out. I believe that this old man is almost tired of being a dog now, the emperor is disgusted with him, Yang Guang is also disgusted, and Yang Su must have been eyeing the prime minister for a long time. Except for Yang Yong, it is estimated that there is no one who does not dislike him. I'm afraid that everyone wants to drive this old man out of the court as soon as possible, and even wish that he would die in an accident or something, so that it would be a hundred and clean. ”

At the foot of Yunshan Mountain, He Ruobi's army had already surrounded Du Lan.

Two days later, Gao Gong led an army of 100,000 to arrive, and Du Lan completely lost the opportunity to withdraw from the Great Wall. And until this time, Du Lan was still clamoring to give the Sui army a good look, he sent a letter to the three departments of Kuhezhen, Daman, and Nili, and asked them to lead their troops to assemble at Baishan Mountain, preparing to fight the Sui army at the foot of Baishan Mountain, outside Yunnei City.

In Gao Gong's big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Gong, who came all the way in a hurry, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally he was arrogant, and he didn't flee at the first time and withdrew to the north of the Great Wall. Hurry up, hurry up, they are in charge of blocking the Blue Army in the Great Wall. Things were still not completely out of control, but when he received the latest military intelligence report, Gao Gong was silent.

The imperial grandson has successfully besieged Dulan's uncle Kuhezhen and the son of Nili Daman in Yanzhou, Kuhezhen and Daman only have 30,000 remnants left, and the imperial grandson is surrounded on all sides, and will launch a general attack in the near future to wipe out the second department.

This is by no means good news! The heart that had just relaxed was hanging again, and Gao Gong felt dull like never before.

The imperial grandson is really already a golden dragon soaring into the sky, and it is impossible to stop it. After this battle, the imperial grandson showed a shocking ability, not only to make money and train soldiers, but also to have a strong sense of the overall situation and control. This Daibei War is completely turning hands into rain and covering hands into rain, which is amazing. This talent, this excellent performance, not only far surpasses the crown prince, but also far surpasses the king of Jin, who has always been praised by the court and the opposition.

Do you really want to take that step?

Sixty years old, he is no longer young, although he is the same age as the emperor, but compared to the emperor, he looks older. Nearly 20 years in power, nearly 20 years of hard work, Yan zhòng consumed his spirit. The weak body and the blazing power have become difficult to reconcile. Time flies, and he has been with the emperor for more than twenty years. Sixty-one Jiazi, the twilight of life has arrived.

He has already been a great minister, and he has already obtained all the honors and favors that a courtier can get. Reasoning said that he shouldn't have fallen in love, and he had already seen that the emperor wanted him to quit, but it was not that he was reluctant to give up the right in his hands, although he was indeed reluctant to give up the right in his hands that he had long been accustomed to. But more than that, he thinks about the family, he wants to hold on for a few more years, maybe three or five years, to send the crown prince to the throne of the emperor, and when the new dynasty is opened, he will be honored to the Shi, this is for the family, for the Gao family, for the children. The Gao family and the prince are too closely linked, once the prince loses from the power struggle, the fate of the Gao family will also be extremely tragic, once the son of heaven and a courtier, as long as Yang Yong ascends the throne as the emperor, the Gao family can keep the wealth.

It's a pity that he doesn't have an outstanding son, and his sons are too mediocre, although he inherits his blessings, and now all of them are of good rank and have a good official position, but this is just because he is the prime minister of the dynasty.

Now in front of him is a completely impossible problem to solve, and he has to fight hard to support the prince to get on the horse, it is too difficult.

Although Yang Yong and Yang Guang are brothers, one day and one earth, Yang Yong can't hold up the wall with mud at all. If he had one-tenth of Yang Lin's ability, he wouldn't have a chance for Yang Guang at all.

After his death, whether the name of a traitor or a meritorious hero is left in the history books depends on whether he can become the minister of the new dynasty.

But when he thought of Yang Yong's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He worked hard to get the opportunity to be the commander this time, but now he is only busy hunting for beauty in Taiyuan City. I'd rather have a beauty than the lord of the country, and he is really rare.

He couldn't help but think of the imperial grandson again, that young man, with sharp eyes, always had an irrepressible ambition, and he didn't like Yang Lin very much before. felt that he was too sharp, and just too easy to break, he felt that Yang Lin lacked stability, did not have Yang Guang's forbearance, and was not good at hiding himself. But now it seems that these are the strengths and personalities of this imperial grandson.

The imperial grandson now has the Huaihuang Army and the Youzhou Army in his hands, and the soldiers and horses are probably no less than 200,000, and if the Sanfan soldiers and horses are added, maybe they can make up 300,000 people.

This is an extremely strong force, and he now has a full army of 250,000 in his hands.

If he joins forces with Taisun, this power will already dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.

550,000 troops, this is a strong force, more than half of the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui.

Descending from the clouds, the trend can sweep the world and sweep through the pass.

Think about it makes him excited, if he can succeed, this merit can even far surpass the great ancestor to help the great ancestor to set the country Li Mu, the governor of Youzhou Yu Yi, the famous general Wei Xiaokuan, these three when Wei Chi raised the army, finally stood on the emperor's side, achieved the emperor's imperial business, and also won the grace of the Li, Yu, and Wei families in the imperial court for 20 years, and the glory is undiminished, even if he has been in charge of the government for 20 years, but when it comes to family glory, they are far inferior to these three clans.

"But why should I make my grandson believe me?" Gao Gong asked himself, especially when he just wanted to use the hands of the Turks to weaken Taisun's strength, it was as obvious as Xiàn.

"I need a vote! The crown prince is the best vote, and King Jin is also very good. ”

"But do I really have to do this, is it really only this way?" Gao Gong is sad and difficult to decide. (To be continued) R655
