Volume 2: The Suave Romance Chapter 493: The Lobbyist

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To put it bluntly, since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, even since the beginning of Xia and Shang Dynasties, the position of regent has appeared only a handful of times.  The most famous ones are Zhou Gong and Wang Mang. The former is famous throughout the ages for "the Duke of Zhou spits out food, and the world returns to its heart." The latter is considered a hypocrite and is notorious.

    When Gao Yanzong was in his prime, both physically and mentally, he was at the peak of his life, yet Gao Changgong served as regent and commanded the government of the country. The meaning revealed in this is naturally self-evident.

    Dugu Yongye can stand alone and defend Luozhou for many years. He is certainly not an ordinary person in terms of martial arts or resourcefulness.  Having been in officialdom for many years, Dugu Yongye had a good sense of politics and a good grasp of the overall situation. Even if he could not guess the purpose of Gao Xing's visit to Luoyang in detail, he could still guess it.

    Dugu Yongye acknowledged Gao Changgong's identity as regent in his words, and his attitude towards Gao Xing was very enthusiastic. Naturally, he could tell something about Gao Xing, and he thought to himself: Dugu Yongye is indeed a wonderful person, and this trip should go smoothly.

    After thinking about this, he smiled meaningfully when he was happy, and walked towards the house with Dugu Yongye humbly and affectionately.

    Entering the living room, other officials left, Gao Xing and Dugu Yongye took their seats respectively.  After the maid served tea and snacks and left, Gao Xing took a sip of tea and then said to Dugu Yongye who was sitting on the throne: "General Dugu, I am here to pay you a visit on behalf of my father, and to clear your name, General."

    After a pause, he happily continued: "The false emperor Gao Wei favored a traitor and acted against the will, causing turmoil in the world, making the people miserable, and allowing the people of Zhou to take advantage of it. He is really the sinner of our Daqi. Some time ago, the false emperor slandered General Dugu for treason.  , the people were all filled with righteous indignation, and the boy was also very angry. Now that the Zhou thieves have retreated, my father thought of the general¡¯s reputation, so he asked me to come in person to clear the name of the general. I am deeply sorry for the unjust injustice that the general has suffered these days!  "As he said that, he stood up happily and bent down deeply.

    Although I am happy that this move is for show, it is also sincere.  Precisely because Dugu Yongye guarded Luozhou alone, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had failed to attack Qi several times before. Otherwise, based on the beastly and incompetent behavior of the Gao family, the Northern Qi Dynasty would have perished long ago.

    In these troubled times, with starving people everywhere and refugees everywhere, Luozhou is still relatively peaceful, which is really rare in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty. This shows that Dugu Yongye's character and ability are worthy of admiration.

    "I just did my duty. Your Majesty is so complimentary. I don't deserve General Gao's gift. General, please get up quickly!"

    Although Dugu Yongye did not smile because of the happy praise, he was also very happy in his heart.  People carry people in sedan chairs, and no one likes to hear other people's abuse and ridicule.  Having said that, Dugu Yongye stood up quickly and stepped forward to support Gao Xing without letting him bow down completely.

    Glad that there is no pretense, he stood up and said humbly: "General Dugu, I am young and ignorant, so I don't deserve to be addressed like this. If you don't mind, please call me by my first name."

    "That's all right. I'd like to ask you to call me my nephew." Dugu Yongye said cheerfully: "My nephew, please take a seat!"

    "General, please!" After sitting down again, the relationship between the two parties became much closer, although this was only on the surface.

    After sitting down happily, Dugu Yongye was the first to ask: "My dear nephew, the regent and you are both indispensable for defeating the Zhou thieves. It's a pity that I am too far away to kill the enemy myself!  "

    He smiled happily and shook his head and said: "General, my nephew believes that it would be a real good thing if all the soldiers in the world did not have to fight."

    Dugu Yongye was startled at first, then laughed, and sighed with emotion: "My good nephew is quite like his father, generous and benevolent, which is really the blessing of our country and the blessing of the people. But I am greedy for merit and bellicose, which makes me seem narrow-minded."  !¡±

    "General, you are being humble. You spent half your life in the army and kept the people of Luozhou safe and happy. You are a model for the world!" After a pause, he happily said: "A world without war is just my nephew's fantasy. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that many people would have nothing to do?  What to do, hungry? But every time I think about the destruction of fertile fields, damaged city walls, and the miserable appearance of the people after the war, my nephew feels very heavy in his heart!"

    Hearing this, the smile on Dugu Yongye¡¯s face instantly faded by half, and there was also a hint of sadness in his shining eyes.  It was precisely because he was used to seeing life and death that he understood what Gao Xing said better. No matter whether the war was won or lost, the damage caused to the city and the lives of the people would be extremely huge.

    Both of them were silent for a while, then turned to look at Dugu Yongye with joy and said with stern eyes: "General Dugu, what do you think of the current situation in Daqi?"

    Dugu Yongye sat upright, looking calm and calm on the surface, but actually he was slightly shaken in his heart, secretly thinking: Here we come.  After being silent for a long time, Dugu Yongye said: "Now that the Zhou Kingdom has been defeated, the Chen Kingdom has too much time to take care of itself. The Turks have no intention of going south for the time being, so they are relatively stable. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and there is a regent.Government, a prosperous country and a strong people are just around the corner!  "

    Happy raised his eyebrows, not satisfied with Dugu Yongye¡¯s answer.  He asked Dugu Yongye what he thought of the situation, which was actually a subtle way of asking Dugu Yongye to express his position, but the latter avoided the important and ignored the important and did not express his true intention.

    I am glad that I came to Luozhou to persuade Dugu Yongye to support Gao Changgong unequivocally and lay the foundation for Gao Changgong to go further.

    It is true that Gao Changgong is unparalleled in power now, but today's Northern Qi is not monolithic.  Including the newly acquired states, Gao Changgong actually controlled only a quarter of the country. Gao Mi, the king of Rencheng, Gao Wei of Yecheng, Dugu Yongye of Luozhou, and the waiting princes from various places, could only integrate everyone  , Only when you are happy can you truly conquer the world.

    Although Dugu Yongye's position is not very high, Luozhou's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are not easy, but the most powerful among them all.  Such a strong man is happy and hopes to use it for his own use, so that it can also deter others.

    "General, although the foreign enemies have retreated now, our Daqi Dynasty is in chaos and disasters continue, and the situation is still not optimistic!" He Gao stared at Dugu Yongye closely, his deep eyes seeming to penetrate into his heart, "When I come,  My father once said that General Dugu is talented and hopes that you can do your best for the prosperity of Daqi."

    Dugu Yongye raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have no talent in the world, but I can still be loyal to my duties and work conscientiously. I will definitely live up to your trust."

    These words are specious. It is obvious that Dugu Yongye showed good intentions, but he did not want to be the first. The name of a traitor is not easy to bear.

    Happy eyes suddenly narrowed, then slowly relaxed, lowered his head, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, and then continued: "General, my nephew heard such a rumor when he was in Shuozhou, saying that the current emperor likes to play.  He often had strange ideas. He once ordered people to go to the toilet in a high-rise building and asked prisoners with serious crimes to catch them by mouth. Or he mixed it with food and ordered the prisoners to swallow it. Although this method was inelegant, it had miraculous effects.  The people under the rule should be more peaceful and keep to themselves, and not dare to make mistakes."

    After saying that, Gao Gao lowered his head and blew the tea stems on the water without looking at Dugu Yongye's expression.  However, Dugu Yongye's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, and he felt quite uneasy.

    Dugu Yongye himself knew about this rumor, but things were different from what Gao Xing said.  In fact, the person who defecated in the high-rise building was Gao Yanzong himself, and the person who ate shit downstairs was not a prisoner, but someone whom Gao Yanzong disliked. If he didn't eat, he would have someone beat him up or even kill him.

    Although Gao Yanzong was not as cowardly as Gao Wei, and he seemed to have a lot of brains, his evil deeds were not much worse than the latter's.  This is exactly what the saying goes, the Gao family is nothing but beasts.

    Gao Gao¡¯s insinuation clearly pointed out that Gao Yanzong¡¯s character was bad, despicable and tyrannical, just like Gao Wei and not a Mingzhu. He had almost nakedly forced Dugu Yongye to express his attitude.

    "But I am busy with political affairs and a little ignorant. I have never heard of this matter!" Dugu Yongye is indeed a cunning old man. He still pretends to be stupid and does not comment on Gao Yanzong. What he means clearly is that he only does his duty.  , and didn¡¯t pay much attention to anything else.

    Gao Xing sneered, then put down the tea cup, smiled at Dugu Yongye and said: "General Dugu is meticulous and his hard work is really admirable." After saying that, Gao Xing leaned forward slightly and whispered: "General, my nephew has a private matter.  I need your help." After saying that, he looked around happily.

    Dugu Yongye had no choice but to wave the servants to disperse and close the door.  Dugu Yongye sat up slightly, smiled and said to Gao Xing: "It's quiet here. If my nephew has anything to do, it's okay to say it. If I can't do it, I won't refuse."

    He smiled happily, then sat up straight, took out a ghost face mask from his arms, and put it on Dugu Yongye's face in confusion.

    "General Dugu, farewell to Qizhou. Are you okay?" Gaoxing stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were bright, and he said calmly.

    A familiar person, a familiar voice, Dugu Yongye¡¯s expression suddenly changed, his body straightened instantly, and the look in his eyes changed drastically.  Gao Gao's move clearly told him that he was the biggest "traitor" who had ever appeared in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and that Sui King Gao Changgong had rebelled against him very early and had accumulated huge power for this purpose.

    Although his mind was shaken, Dugu Yongye quickly regained his composure and said, "My dear nephew, what kind of joke are you making? I'm so confused?"

    "General, if people in the know don't speak secretly, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Gao Xing said, taking off his mask, looking at Dugu Yongye closely and saying, "My nephew, I know that you understand justice, are generous and benevolent, so with that  You just led an army of 50,000 to stop outside Qingzhou, but you don¡¯t want to cause the people to fall into trouble, so why not engage in such a fearless battle?"

    "In recent years, the imperial court of Da Qi has become increasingly decayed, the national power has become increasingly weak, the people's lives are miserable, and foreign enemies are eyeing it.The scourge of war continues. As a member of the Qi, how can we watch our homeland be destroyed and overturned?  "

    Gao Xing took a step forward and said with an excited face: "Although Gao Xing is confident that I am not afraid of thousands of troops, but with my own strength, I can defeat Zhou Jun and Chen Jun once, so what about the two or three times?  The emperor is ignorant, but the new emperor lacks responsibility. Even if he tries hard to maintain it, how long can it last? If we take this opportunity to make up our mind to reform the old and establish the new, and the people's hearts will return, Daqi can regain its former prosperity, and the people can be stable and happy!"

    "General, I am pleased to request you. I hope that for the sake of our ancestor, Emperor Shenwu, and for the sake of thousands of struggling people, you can stand up and work with us to restore a bright and prosperous world to this world.  !¡±
