Chapter 474
The Liaodong civil officials said and said something. Although their tone was very tactful, their meaning was very clear.
If it weren't for Chen Pojun's victory after victory in the Liaodong Army, his personal prestige would have been getting higher and higher. I guess the two old men, Mao Bo and Li Benlei, would have directly refuted his incompetence in doing things. He had just achieved some success and could not see the situation clearly. [..com]
Fang Xuanling and others were careful to advise, but they also felt disappointed. In the past, Chen Pojun gave them the feeling that he was a young but very wise and true person. Chen Pojun rarely had a self-righteous approach in the past major strategies of the Liaodong Army. In the past, Chen Pojun took the initiative to ask his subordinates' civil and military affairs, listened modestly to their opinions, and finally got the best strategy.
At this time, they looked at the commander who had a smile on his face and had a short green beard under his jaw. He couldn't help but wonder, could the commander lose his true nature and become proud of himself under the victory of the Liaodong Army?
The strange scholar who first asked Chen Pojun about it was full of disappointment at this moment, and his face was unreserved. He frowned and shook his head slightly, his heart full of disappointment. At this time, he looked at Chen Pojun's smile again, but he already felt that he was a stubborn, proud and complacent master who could not listen to his subordinates' advice. In his opinion, such a person did not even come to the current emperor Yang Guang. At least Yang Guang had always been remarkable before he ascended the throne. Even after Yang Guang became emperor, he was very diligent and open-minded in the first few years. He could not imagine how far Chen Pojun could go with his current mentality.
Thinking of this, he sighed and thought to himself that he was so eager to see his friend Fang Qiao's letter. He traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.
I felt extremely lonely for a moment, and I didn't care about the rudeness and turned to Fang Xuanling and bowed to him, "Brother Xuanling, it's better to meet him than to be famous. Finally, I met the world-famous Marshal Chen, which is a pity. I've been disturbed these days, so today I will pack up my things and go back to the Central Plains."
Fang Xuanling was surprised and said, "Brother Keming, what do you mean? Didn't we agree to assist the Grand Marshal together and create an ideal prosperous era? Why did you leave when you just saw Grand Marshal?"
Chen Kefu was also attracted by the actions of the strange scholar. He had never seen such a tough temper, and he was about to leave after a disagreement.
"I don't know that this gentleman's name is rude, so please include it." Seeing that he was extraordinary in his year, Chen Kefu heard that he was Fang Xuanling's friend, and he thought he should be a good scholar. Now that Liaodong has great martial arts skills, his civil affairs are still a bit weak. He naturally has great etiquette for these scholars who come to Liaodong.
The young scholar turned his head and turned his eyes, and said with anger, "It's better not to make plans for each other if you don't want to tell me the reputation."
Chen Kefu chuckled, not caring about it. He could feel that the man had a good attitude towards him when he met just now. All the changes began to change after asking his question of the throne. Just as he changed his mind, he had roughly guessed what the man thought at this time. When he met for the first time, he could express his attitude so directly and clearly, without keeping his thoughts in his heart. Chen Kefu had a good impression of such a literati. "Then I will call you brother, Brother Keming. If I guessed it well, Brother Keming was afraid that I, Chen Kefu, is just a person who doesn't match the truth? Do you think that I am just a little successful now, but I am already arrogant and arrogant, and I can't hear the unpleasant words? Do you think that a person like me is not worthy of your assistance, and when I was disappointed, I plan to leave?"
The scribe didn't expect Chen Kefu to say such words, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes. He did think that Chen Kefu was just like this, and he was completely frivolous.
But when Chen Kefu heard this, he suddenly said what he was thinking just now, and he thought that how could the person who could say such a thing be like what he was thinking?
Fang Xuanling over there said anxiously, "Master, this is not the case."
However, although Fang Xuanling said that this was not the case, the surprise on their face undoubtedly expressed the thoughts they had just thought. Chen Kefu smiled slightly and didn't say much.
He stretched out his hand and shook his finger. "I know what you think. I am actually very happy when you think so. This means that you are still awake and have not been blocked by the victories we have achieved now. You are still clearly in control of the situation in front of you under the great situation of the Liaodong Army, which makes me very happy."
"Master.
Fang Xuanling and other civil officials were really confused now and didn't understand what Chen Kefu meant at all.
Haha laughed a few times.
Chen Kefu said, "Actually, I have the same idea as you, but I didn't explain the matter clearly before, so I misunderstood you. It's not your fault for this matter. I just said that I would ascend the throne on the first day of August. However, it was not me who ascended the throne on the first day of August!"
"What?" Mao Xi and others exclaimed in surprise.
Mao Xishen moved and said with a smile, "Master, have you rescued the Lord from Jiankang and will be brought to Hebei soon? Ascending the throne in August, is it to welcome the Lord to ascend the throne?" In his mind, if it weren't for Chen Pojun ascending the throne, then the only possibility was that the Special Service Office had rescued Chen Shen from Jiankang and was preparing to claim him to be emperor in Hebei. In this way, although it was not Chen Kefu's claim to be emperor, in fact, this is a better solution.
Shaking his head gently, Chen Kefu denied Mao Xi's speculation.
"No, I also want to take my father back to Hebei. But now my father is completely under the control of the Shen family in the Jiangnan Association. Our troops have been inquiring for a long time and found that the Shen family has been very strict in their defense. Without a large army, only a small group of troops cannot take my father back."
Hearing that Chen Kefu rejected his speculation, Mao Xi suddenly became disappointed again.
The crowd looked at Chen Kefu, and was extremely suspicious. They were neither prepared to ascend the throne himself, nor could they take Chen Shen back to ascend the throne for the time being. So who would be the one who would ascend the throne in more than ten days?
Gao Shilian, who was nearly huāa, asked hesitantly, "I heard that General Zhang Feng took advantage of the chaos in Hedong to capture Empress Xiao... the Crown Prince, did he?...,
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Chen Kefu couldn't help but admire Gao Shilian very much. He could actually infer through such a secret message that he was indeed capable.
"You all must also know that Yang Guang had been hit by a runaway arrow in Yanmen and injured his heart. The injury occurred several times during the siege of Yanmen. When the Yanmen siege was untied, he was even paralyzed when he was vowed to conquer the grassland. According to our information, Chen Pojun continued, "According to the news from our brothers in the Secret Service, now in Taiyuan City, ministers and commanders from all sides gathered in a city, fighting for the position of the heir to the throne of the Sui Dynasty. Now Yang Guang is still awake and may even never wake up. Yang Guang has only three sons and eldest sons in his life.
Yuande Crown Prince Yang Zhao died early, and now the third prince Yang Gao is in our hands again, and no one knows it. Only the second son Yang Lai is left, but he is not virtuous and unable to capture the public. Apart from Yang Lai, the most likely person to inherit the throne is Yang Tan, the eldest son of the late Yuande Crown Prince Yang Zhao, Yang Tong, the second son of Yue, and Yang You, the third son of Yang Lei." "According to the current situation, Yang Lai will be the greatest possibility to continue. Once he wins the throne, his power will inevitably shock the forces of the Sui Dynasty very quickly, and then they will be able to mobilize troops to advance eastward quickly, which is the situation we least want to see."
Chen Kefu said this, and everyone basically understood his idea at this time. Although the Liaodong Army had already left the customs, seized the six counties of Hebei, and controlled the four fronts of Taihang Mountains and Hebei, it had a huge advantage. However, at this time, it only gained some strategic advantages. If Chen Pojun ascended the throne and became emperor at this time, it would be inappropriate in any aspect.
However, in the face of the chaotic throne struggle of the court, if they suddenly offered the missing prince Yang Gao ascended the throne and became emperor, then the Liao King Yang, who now has the advantage, will inevitably be muddled by the Liaodong Army's attack. As long as the water is muddy, Yang Lai will not be able to inherit the throne smoothly and unite the Sui Dynasty and the forces. Then when they meet, Yang Sheng will definitely be unable to suppress the powerful forces of the court. By then, the Sui Dynasty, which has already been muddy, may even have more disputes.
If the Sui Dynasty could not integrate one day, they would not be able to advance eastward with all their might. By then, half of the country, including Hebei, Henan, Shandong, etc., will continue to be in the same situation as before. The Liaodong Army will continue to complete their next strategic deployment, expanding the opportunity in front of them to the greatest extent before the Sui Dynasty turned around.
"But although Yang Guang was stunned, he was still not dead after all. Although Yang Gao was the crown prince at this time, he was afraid that he would be unreasonable as soon as possible, right?" The scholar who had been shouting to leave asked again.
Chen Kefu smiled slightly, "I wonder if Brother Keming can tell him the name of the surname Zun?" The scholar bowed and said in a gentle tone, "Student Du Ruhui's name is Keming, from Duling, Jingzhao, is a friend of Brother Fang. After introduction, he invited him to Liaodong. He had many misunderstandings about the general before, so please forgive me." Hearing that the scholar with a wise personality in front of him was Du Ruhui who claimed to be Du Ruhui in Fangmou Dudu, Chen Kefu was not too surprised by the celebrities in the original history, and he was also slightly moved at this time. Du Ruhui was a famous prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty. It would be a great good thing for such a person to join the Liaodong Army.
Looking at Du Ruhui in front of him, he was only about thirty people, and his white Confucian robe looked very elegant and noble. But Chen Kefu knew that Du Ruhui was not simple. Although he was about the same age as Fang Xuanling, he was also a good friend. In history, he was a minister in the same palace and was a famous prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty, claiming to be Fang Tou Duan. However, unlike Fang Xuanling's scholarly family, Du Ruhui was born in the Guanlong noble group. His ancestors were both outstanding officials in the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty, and were authentic Guanlong nobles.
When Du Ruhui was young, he was already very talented and favored by the Minister of Personnel of the current dynasty. He became a county lieutenant at that time. However, the world had begun to chaotic. Du Ruhui looked at the chaos in the place and felt that the county lieutenant was too young, so he simply resigned and focused on studying and making friends. Last year, Chen Pojun met Fang Xuanling in Luoyang, and that time Fang Xuanling went to meet his good friend Du Ruhui.
At that time, Fang Xuanling had originally planned to win over Du Ruhui for Chen Pojun, but unexpectedly something happened later. After returning to Liaodong, Fang Xuanling wrote to Du Ruhui several times and summoned him to Liaodong.
After a period of consideration, Du Ruhui finally had no hope for the Sui Dynasty and came to Liaodong resolutely.
With such talent help, Chen Kefu laughed several times, "Xuanling is good at planning, but I heard that Brother Keming is good at making decisions. This is exactly Fang Dao Dun. The two of them work together, and our Liaodong Army is even more powerful. How can I not use such talents? I will temporarily appoint Keming as the Minister of the Lou Ministry of the Shangshu Province of Xingtai. I have another important task after a few days, how about?"
Although Du Ruhui was very conceited, after arriving in Liaodong, he also met Fang Xuanling, Mao Xi, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and other very prominent government officials. Now he gradually put away his conceit and was willing to be an official under Fang Xuanling, the right servant of the Xingtai Shangshu. Now that he had just met Chen Pojun, he did not expect that Chen Pojun appointed him as the Minister of Personnel, and was also surprised. In the Sui Dynasty, he had only obtained the position of a ninth-rank county lieutenant.
At that moment, he was moved and said solemnly, "What kind of virtue is my subordinate? I have been valued so much by the commander, and I have actually assigned this important task. My subordinates are very worried, so please take it back."
Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "I am employed by people, but I have always been praised by people. Everyone says that it is appropriate to employ people. Today, I am swearing that you are the Minister of Personnel. I believe in your ability, and I believe that you will use actions to show your ability." After hearing Chen Kefu say this, Du Ruhui no longer refuses. However, he still continued his previous question, "Master, Yang Guang is still alive, how will the prince ascend the throne?" "This is simple!" Chen Kefu said relaxedly, "Yang Guang is not dead, we can respect him as the Supreme Emperor. Anyway, he is unconscious and unconscious. What's more, letting Yang Gao ascends the throne is just a plan for us to disrupt the water of the Central Plains. Yang Gao is just our chess piece, and it can play a role, so why should we care too much?"
