"—Slow down!"

When Gao Yanzong stepped out of the courtyard, Su Wei's enthusiastic farewell sound came from behind, which made Gao Yanzong's feet in the air and almost fell on the steps, but fortunately, his own soldiers were by his side and hurriedly helped him up.

"Damn, the steps are so slippery, that dog thing cleans? I don't know how to shovel this ice! ”

Gao Yanzong scolded angrily, and the faces of the soldiers had already turned white, but when he saw this guy, he instantly changed his words:

"What if His Highness goes out and falls, can I afford this responsibility? Let me know who it is, and I have to let him know how powerful the batons are! ”

"......" Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

This Zongwang, who commanded the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou Dao, was almost above 10,000 people under one person, and he was able to stop his heart in the face of Su Wei's words and swords, but he just let the ice slip a little, and his mentality suddenly broke the defense, regardless of the royal demeanor, and scolded at the gate of the small courtyard.

In fact, this is just the depression he has accumulated in his chest for several days, and he has just lost everywhere in the confrontation with Su Wei, which can't help but aggravate this resentment.

Speaking from the heart, with his violent temper, if he hadn't been in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, he would have given Su Wei an old punch, where would he let this white-faced scholar ride on his head?

But after all, he is the prince's master, and beating him is equivalent to slapping the prince's face, and slapping the prince's face is a slap in the face of His Majesty.

Although Gao Yanzong is a bastard, he is not a brainless fool, even if he borrows his courage, he does not dare to provoke His Majesty at such a sensitive moment... You can't write two high characters in one stroke, but who can say for sure what is going on?

What kind of person is today, I'm afraid not many people know better than Gao Yanzong.

That has always been the Lord of God blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

He Shikai stopped him from being in power, and he destroyed Heshikai; The monk didn't collect taxes for him, he shoveled the temple. If he had made up his mind, it would be useless to dissuade anyone!

Pity the blind ancestor, just let him be tied to the carriage to deal with those nobles and families, so that now he can't even protect his name.

But there's nothing you can do.

Generally speaking, His Majesty still appreciates those who are capable, but only uses them as useful tools, and His Majesty will never have a heart-to-heart with a person who disagrees with his politics.

Once His Majesty feels that something is wrong with a guy's thinking, then this unlucky guy will either die, or be exiled, refrigerated, and marginalized, and the end can be described as strange and varied.

Your Majesty does not eat hard and soft, and always implements a program - change people if you don't change your position!

Gao Yanzong was able to gain the emperor's long-term trust, relying on his ability to be civil and martial, which was different! Not only will they charge into battle, but they will also observe words and colors.

Looking at what His Majesty has done over the past few years, there are four core meanings:

First, expel the traitors and clarify the rule of officials; second, encourage land reclamation, build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads, so that people's livelihood can be lived; Third, the household registration was cleared, taxes were levied on the country, and the armament was expanded; Fourth, it is necessary to reduce the power of local authorities and strengthen the authority of the central government.

As a radical reformer, Gao Gong naturally took over this set of programs in its entirety, and a series of combination punches were brought down, and even the dullest people understood that the imperial court was probably going to cut the power of the governors of the major prefectures...

And if you want to implement this policy smoothly, Gao Yanzong is the best breakthrough... This undoubtedly put Gao Yanzong on the cusp, and Gao Yanzong was no longer dissatisfied with Su Wei's use of his subordinates, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

So after arguing in the middle of the night, the two sides finally reached a consensus:

Su Wei no longer pursued the pile of bad debts under the butts of the generals of the Jinyang Army, and Gao Yanzong also turned a blind eye to Su Wei's blatant digging into his corners.

It is impossible for the imperial court to take over the center of power overnight, and if it wants to implement the policy smoothly, it must not arouse the resistance of various local officials, which is a long and gradual process.

'Don't fall into my hands in the future, you little white face, or I'll make you look good!' ’

Gao Yanzong's angry eyes only stopped on Su Wei for a moment, and then he walked forward without saying a word, without even saying a word of goodbye.

In his opinion, his tolerance of Su Wei everywhere is just because Su Wei is standing behind His Majesty, a small court official, even if he has the blessing of the identity of the crown prince, it is not worth his attention at all.

And let you be proud for a while!

Gao Yanzong was not an immortal, and he didn't have eyes behind him, so he naturally wouldn't know that just when he turned to leave, a pair of eyes were silently watching him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still young, had been standing in this position for a moment, and just now he had made people pretend that he had fallen asleep in order to avoid Uncle Wang's visit, but in fact, he saw the whole confrontation between Uncle Wang and the teacher.

His age and experience were not enough for him to understand the full meaning hidden under the confrontation between the two of them, but under Su Wei's inducement, he still vaguely understood some truths:

It turned out that the father did not trust his courtiers without guard; It turns out that a true emperor should have the ability to control everything.

The prince is precocious.

All kinds of complicated thoughts washed over his mind over and over again, leaving him speechless.

"Your Highness, you haven't slept yet?" Su Wei stood silently behind him, asking with a concerned face.

The little prince calmed down, pretending to be calm and said: "Oh, Gu is about to go to bed, the teacher talked with Uncle Wang for a night, presumably the spirit is more tired than Lone, the teacher should also go down to rest." ”

Su Wei bowed his hand and retreated respectfully, his attitude completely different from before.

He frowned, as if he had figured out something, and as if he hadn't figured out anything.

Su Wei also paced out with a heart and a brow, his brow furrowed, and he did not have the spirit that had just forced King Ander to give in.

"Xia Guan doesn't understand why the young master specially arranged this for His Highness to see? King Ande has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he also abides by the courtesy of his courtiers to His Royal Highness, after tonight, if His Royal Highness has any suspicion of King Ande, the young master is the sin of dividing the royal family! The female officer in green clothes wearing a black hat walked out of the shadows and asked unceremoniously, "I'm afraid this is not Your Majesty's intention, right?" ”

"Your Majesty asked me to teach Your Highness what the Emperor's Mind is and how to teach it, I have the final say. Besides, doubt, isn't it the quality that a qualified emperor should have? Su Wei retorted unhurriedly.

"Then you can't help the seedlings..."The female official stared at him, and her low voice hid a trace of anger: "Your Highness is young, and his heart is undecided, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not go astray if he makes a mistake!" ”

"Your Majesty appointed me as a young master, just believe me, no one knows His Majesty's original intention better than me." Su Wei still looked like he was not salty, he paused for a long time and asked, "Don't you think Your Highness is very similar to Your Majesty?" ”

The female official surnamed Yuan was asked by him in a fog, and said, "They are biological father and son, how can they not be like this?" ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..."Sowey shook his head, as if caught up in some kind of memory:

"I mean, His Highness's expression, tone, and every move are exactly the same as Your Majesty... Joy and anger are invisible, don't let people know what is in your heart, and Your Highness's thoughts are gradually becoming difficult to understand. ”

Moreover, like His Majesty, he has no reverence for the so-called etiquette and righteousness, and even more scorns the so-called Son of Heaven and scholars sharing the world.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, I hope this fire won't burn on him in the future... Su Wei then pondered for a moment, then ordered someone to take charge of the lamp, and went back to his room, where he wanted to polish a detailed piece of good news and present it to the emperor overnight as a token of merit. Most of the scholars in the Great Qi court were Lianghe scholars, and if the officials from Guanzhong did not have great achievements, they would inevitably be squeezed out and criticized.

Especially when his friend Gao Gong has just ascended to the prime minister, and is about to make political achievements and prestige, this good news will be submitted, and the momentum of the right minister will be greatly increased, and those ministers who are watching from the sidelines will also be attached.

Since then, in the court, the two of them will not be isolated and helpless, and they will be passive everywhere.

Scholars naturally have the arrogance of scholars, and not every minister is willing to follow His Majesty's wishes and be a submissive echo worm attached to the tail.

The good news was delivered to Yecheng, and it was already ten days later.

The snow in Hebei gradually melted, and only a little was still hanging on the branches, and the various squares and cities in Yecheng gradually became noisy.

Different from the bustle of other places, the Zhaoyang Hall in the palace has always been a deserted, solemn place, even if it is the New Year's Festival, it is not allowed to hang colored lanterns like other palaces, all day and night, you can see a lot of waiters holding all kinds of documents through the Zhaoyang Palace, they all hang their heads, hunch their waists, walk very fast, but almost silent.

This is where the true heart of the empire lies.

Except for a few ministers that the emperor paid special attention to, the rest of the court officials and local officials submitted the pieces of music had to be reviewed and approved here, which was extremely efficient, and it was simply not the same as in the past.

But even so, the ministers in the cabinet were still busy with their feet on the ground, and the good news from Jinyang naturally passed through their ears and eyes first, and then the whole hall was a sensation.

The ministers were overjoyed, and they had expected it to be a great victory, but they had not imagined that the army would be so brilliant!

After this battle, not only did the Hu chief Sha Bo Luo Khan flee in panic, Da Xi Changru and others even took advantage of the victory to pursue, and captured the small chief Ashina Luo Hou and Ashina Anluo, who had been the Turkic Khan for less than a month, had just been canonized as the "Third Khan" by Sha Bo Luo Not long after, he was captured by the Qi army and made a prisoner under the stairs, and now he is being escorted to Yecheng.

Sha Bo was slightly exhausted, and after this defeat, this Turkic Khan may no longer be able to convince the public. Whether it is Datou or Da Luo, they are now firmly tied to the belt of Daqi's trousers, and there is Anluo, the "third khan", in the hands of Daqi, and the Turkic division has become inevitable!

The scimitar that has been hanging in the northern frontier of the Great Qi for decades has been broken once, and within ten years, there will be no soldiers in the border plug, which is really gratifying!
