As long as people mention Yang Su, they will compare Gao Gong with him, but when Gao Gong is mentioned, Yang Su is rarely brought out.

The reason is very simple, Gao Gong is greater than Yang Su regardless of his prestige and talent.

This person's life history can be described as magnificent and wonderful.

The Great Sui Dynasty, the Gonggong Zhugong, as long as you look at his surname, you can probably know his origin, Gao Gong, born in the Bohai Gao family, that is, Jing County, Hebei, belongs to Hengshui City, and the Northern Qi royal family, are all people from the same place.

His father Gao Bin, who is Dugu Xin's confidant, was given the surname Dugu, and their family is a retainer of the Dugu family.

When Yang Jian served as the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the old man Dugu Xin had already hung up, but Dugu Jialuo recommended Gao Gong to Yang Jian, and since that time, Gao Gong has become the number one confidant in the hearts of Yang Jian and his wife, and to this day.

At the age of forty, he followed Wei Xiaokuan to defeat the Wei Chi Hui rebels, was promoted to the Zhu State, was named the Duke of Yining County, and was promoted to the Prime Minister's Mansion Sima.

At the age of forty-one, Yang Jian usurped Zhou, worshiped Gao Gong as the left servant of Shangshu, and concurrently accepted the words of the subordinate province, and entered the Bohai County Duke.

At the age of forty-two, he was also the head of the Twelve Guards.

At the age of forty-eight, he was named the marshal of the long history, assisting Yang Guang to go south to destroy Chen, and the battle to destroy Chen, Gao Gong was the real mastermind and decision-maker behind the scenes, and Han Baohu, He Ruobi and others were all driven by him.

At the age of forty-nine, he was awarded the title of Shangzhuguo, and was promoted to the Duke of Qi, and the lord has arrived.

The general person in charge of the new capital Daxingcheng, one of the revisers of the Kaihuang Law, including the administrative, official, and local systems after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, were also completed under the auspices of Gao Gong.

This person has been the prime minister of the Great Sui for 20 years.

He Ruobi was so arrogant that he didn't dare to beep blindly in front of Gao Gong.

When Yang Ming was in front of Queen Dugu, every time Gao Gong was summoned to the palace, he had to move stools for others.

Gao Gong brought Yang Ming into his guest house, which was empty and very simple.

Yang Ming knew that more than half of the furniture and utensils in Gao Gong's Mansion were purchased with the help of Duguhou, and the relationship between the master and servant of these two people was very deep until Yang Yong's accident.

After Gao Gong asked Yang Ming to sit down, he ordered his son Gao Hongde to serve tea.

Gao Hongde was originally a subordinate official of the Jin Palace, but after Yang Guang was named the crown prince, he did not bring him into the East Palace, the reason is self-evident, because he is Gao Gong's son.

Now like his father, he is idle at home, flexible employment, and after Gao Gong was killed in history, Gao Hongde was exiled to Lingnan, disappeared halfway, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Gao Gong behaved very coldly, almost didn't speak, Yang Ming also felt that the atmosphere was very weird, and took the initiative to smile at Gao Hongde:

"I'm quite familiar with Jiro."

Gao Hongde replied with a smile: "I used to be a staff member in the Jin Palace, and I have seen His Royal Highness a few times."

"I see, Erlang, please take a seat, this king is a guest today, Erlang is the lord, please don't be restrained," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Gao Hongde nodded: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Then he sat down behind him.

Yang Ming took the initiative to say again: "How is Dugu Gong's health recently?" ….

Gao Gong ate his tea and said, "As before."

"That's good, that's good," it's so embarrassing, Yang Ming can see that people don't seem to be very happy to deal with him,

"The eldest princess knows that Dugu Gong likes the pickles in her house, so she specially asked the younger generation to send them, and when there are new pickles in the next year, she will leave a copy for your old man."

Gao Gong nodded: "The eldest princess has a heart."

Yang Ming hurriedly said: "The eldest princess is still very concerned about Dugu Gong, she often says that there is no Dugu Gong in the court, just like a flock without a head."

Hearing this, Gao Gong squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness and the eldest princess are quite close?"

Yang Ming nodded and said, "See each other often."

Gao Gong said: "

The eldest princess has a noble status and is rarely close to people, even if the abolished prince Yong back then, she rarely has the opportunity to be alone with her.

Facing Gao Gong's inquiring gaze, Yang Ming didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and avoid the other party's words.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gao Gong smiled and said, "Has Your Highness ever thought about why the eldest princess asked you to send pickles to the old man?"

"I thought about it, but I didn't figure it out," Yang Ming replied honestly.

Gao Gong couldn't help but smile, and turned sideways to ask his son, "Do you understand?"

Gao Hongde shook his head and said, "This move must have a deep meaning, but the child can't see through it."

Gao Gong nodded and said, "The pickles on the eldest princess's mansion are Qidi flavors, and they are the pickle masters that the old man brought back from Shandong after he exterminated Wei Chi Hui back then.

"After eating it for a long time, it has formed a dependence, and the Holy Queen once said, my Gao Gong is the pickle of the Holy Queen."

"This pickle, the Supreme doesn't like it, but the Holy Queen and I prefer it, after the Holy Queen passed away, the master of the pickled pickles was taken back to the house by the eldest princess."

Then, Gao Gong sighed, "Actually, the eldest princess doesn't like pickles either."

Yang Ming was stunned, Yang Lihua obviously told herself, she likes this kind of pickle very much?

Gao Gong continued, "She doesn't like it, I love it alone, but why do I only give it to the pickle and not to the person who made it? The eldest princess is reminding me to keep making her pickles, and she is the one who holds the pickles."

Gao Hongde still didn't understand, and said curiously, "Then why did the eldest princess ask Her Royal Highness to send pickles?"

Gao Gong smiled, "Because the king of Hedong is also the one who holds the pickles."

Call....... Yang Ming exhaled in his heart, he didn't expect that sending a pickle would have such a complicated hint.

According to what Gao Gong said, Yang Lihua probably hoped that Gao Gong could be used by her, as long as Gao Gong was willing to nod, then Yang Lihua would start to arrange Gao Gong's return to the court.

And Yang Ming, in fact, is almost the same as Gao Gong's position, they are both chess pieces in Yang Lihua's hands, the difference is that Yang Ming is a blood related chess piece, and there is a family affection mixed in the middle.

Yang Lihua is a woman and can't interfere in politics, so supporting Yang Ming as her voice in the court is to intervene in national affairs from the side.

One Yang Ming is not enough, and now there is a high Gong to be added.

This woman is worthy of the Empress Dowager of the Old Zhou, and her scheming methods are really not comparable to Yang Ming. ….

Fortunately, Yang Ming knows in his heart that Yang Lihua is really soft-hearted and charitable, and she is also sincere to him, otherwise, you really have to worry about not being put on a show by her.

Gao Gong looked at Yang Ming and said, "Tell the eldest princess that the old man has been disheartened when the Holy Queen has passed away, so don't send any pickles next year."

This sentence is tantamount to rejecting Yang Lihua's solicitation.

Yang Ming frowned and nodded: "Juniors should tell you truthfully."

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Just tell the last sentence, don't say the middle one."

Yang Ming immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Juniors know what to say and what not to say."

Gao Gong nodded and continued: "Your Royal Highness is in the central position, remember not to compete with Su Wei and Niu Hong, the rest of the sons are not enough, but you must pay attention to Liu Shu."

Yang Ming said with a sincere face: "The younger generation can hear it, Dugu Gong's guidance is really heartfelt."

Gao Gong looked at the filial piety clothes on Yang Ming's body again, and said secretly:

"The old man in this life, the favor of the Holy Queen has today's achievements, His Royal Highness is long under the knees of the Holy Queen, Gao is to you, there is no need to be false and wronged, Liu Shu this son, no talent, no virtue, and no meritorious foundation, now facing the momentum, will fall because of the situation, but when it gains power, His Royal Highness should temporarily avoid the edge."

Yang Ming was puzzled: "I don't want to provoke him, but he has been provoking me, and there is no way to avoid it."

"Or that he's a fool," Gao Gong said with a smile, "When Su Wei was fighting with me, when he saw me, he treated me as a protégé and respected him, and when he was scattered, I didn't turn around, and he didn't dare to lift it

step, every New Year's holiday, he is the first to visit the old man, you need to be careful when you meet this kind of talent, Liu Shu is happy and angry, and his thoughts are written on his face, so he is not afraid."

Yang Ming knew that Su Wei was also recommended by Gao Gong to be admitted to the office, which is why he saw Gao Gong and wanted to perform the gift of a protégé.

But then Su Wei sat down and began to challenge Gao Gong, but of course the result ended in failure, Dugu Garo was very unhappy at the time, hinting that Yang Jian cleaned up Su Wei, so Su Wei was charged with colluding with friends and was dismissed by Yang Jian.

So much so that after Su Wei returned to the DPRK, he no longer dared to argue with Gao Gong, but instead turned into Gao Gong's number one supporter.

In addition to Yang Xiong, who was born in the clan, the rest of Su Wei and Yu Qingze were all recommended by Gao Gong.

It can be seen from this how high Gao Gong's status is in the Great Sui.

If it weren't for Yang Jian's view that Gao Gong's authority was too great, he would not have supported Yang Su to rise to the top at all.

Yang Ming asked curiously, "In Dugugong's opinion, when did Liu Shu lose power?"

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said: "Yang Su is idle at home, normally speaking, Liu Shu has lost its role, but Yang Su has now gone to Renshou Palace to serve the sick, Liu Shu should still be in charge in the short term, and I didn't realize until His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, the Supreme is delaying, giving His Royal Highness enough time to grow up to replace Yang Su, the day Yang Su completely leaves the court, it is the time when Liu Shu loses power."

"How can the younger generation be virtuous, how can he be qualified to replace Yue Gong?" Yang Ming said with a look of surprise.

Gao Gong smiled and said, "It's just for you to replace part of Yang Su's role, not for you to be a servant."

Yang Ming understood that Gao Gong meant that the role of being fostered was actually to balance the forces of all parties in the court as a clan, similar to the role of Yang Shuang, the king of Wei.

Whoever takes the lead, Yang Ming will target whom, who is weak, Yang Ming will support it, in fact, it is a court balancer.

People like him can't form a party for personal gain, they can only listen to one person, and that is the emperor.

In fact, the two positions of left and right servants were vacant in history during the Yang Guang period, because the power was too great.

After all, Yang Guang suffered greatly from being checked and balanced by the left and right servants, and believed that these two positions should not exist, which was not conducive to the high concentration of imperial power.

Yang Ming knows the direction of history, so when Liu Shu will finish, he knows better than Gao Gong.

However, today's conversation with Gao Gong has benefited him a lot, and Yang Ming feels that if it is possible in the future, he will try to protect the other party.

Of course, if Gao Gong is useless to him, he is an outcast.

Use it when you are virtuous, and dethrone it if you are not virtuous, this is the only rule of employing people.
