Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Gao Yan's expression became more and more serious as he listened to Hu Luguang's story. There was a hint of excitement in his concentration, and he even clenched his fists slightly. When Hu Luguang finished speaking, he raised his hands and clapped.

"As expected of Brother Mingyue, he is really ambitious and will never disappoint you! I haven't heard such a heroic voice for a long time."

Gao Yan clapped his hands and sighed: "The world today cannot be called governance, but there are many people in the country who are obsessed with old achievements, indulge in pleasure, and no longer have grand ambitions. , He ignores his innermost worries, which really makes a knowledgeable person worry and find it hard to calm down!”

At this point, Gao Yan also looked helpless. What he said was not only the evaluation of the noble second generation who had different styles and ambitions from their fathers, who were obsessed with extravagance and enjoyment, but also included his brother Gao Yang, and even the country's drunken and unrestrained atmosphere, and even a group of people. A kind of up-and-down effect.

In the past few years, the imperial court has made no achievements externally. His elder brother Gao Yang also went against the style of working hard in his early years, especially in military affairs. Although this saved him from the consumption of military force, the national strength that was recuperated and restored was not really accumulated. The land in Hebei has been fertile every year, but the price of grain in Yedu has declined. Rising year after year. The price of a seat in the rich and powerful's family can reach tens of thousands of dollars, but the poor and humble people have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat.

If it is just that the politics in the country are not clear enough, and there is imbalance and collapse, then with their deep foundation in Northern Qi, they still have the opportunity to make corrections.

However, compared to their inaction, the Western Wei Dynasty, their old enemy to the west, has been developing very rapidly in recent years. It is said that the country recruited Xia soldiers in large numbers, and set up many rewards and rewards, so that everyone was happy to fight, and the country was greatly victorious. Once upon a time.

Although the two sides had stopped fighting in Heluo in the sixth year of Tianbao, there had never been a large-scale war confrontation between them. Gao Yan did not know how far the Western Wei Dynasty's national power had developed. However, he was deeply touched by the rapid decline in morale in Northern Qi, so much so that he was inspired to hear Hu Luguang's plan to take the initiative and try to attack his opponents.

When Hu Luguang heard that King Changshan agreed with his plan, he immediately stood up and bowed to the side of the banquet. He said in a deep voice: "I am not a servant of high wisdom in the world. My plan is just to boost the country's prestige and vow to avenge the family. Fortunately, I am here." If you can be appreciated by your Majesty and help you to take up this position, you will be brave enough to do your best and live up to your responsibilities!"

After Gao Yan heard this, he quickly stood up and helped Hu Luguang up. At the same time, he sighed: "The reason why the country sets up various prominent positions is so that the virtuous, loyal and brave people can fit into their positions and serve the country! Mingyue!" Brother, you are a good general and a talented person who is well-known in both the government and the public, and you also have such a sincere feeling of serving the country and killing thieves. It is also an honor for me to recommend a good person to the court, so why would you dare to say that you are motivated by selfish motives?"

After both sides expressed their feelings, they also cherished each other. Hu Luguang then further elaborated on his series of strategies to guard Jinzhou and enter Fenjiang.

In his opinion, the imperial court was too obsessed with Heluo, Huainan and other places in the past, which was simply a wrong idea that put the cart before the horse.

In the past wars between Heluo and Luo, it was not that there were no brilliant victories. Even in this war in the sixth year of Tianbao, they also achieved a very good record in the early stage.

However, since Heluo was blocked by Xiaohan further west, it was difficult for the army to advance and retreat calmly. Even if it passed the Xiaohan Mountain Road, there was still the obstacle of Tongguan further forward, making it very difficult to continue to expand the results.

As for Huainan Jiangdong, it goes without saying. The barbarian and barbaric land is difficult to conquer. The rewards obtained after conquering are also limited. It is nothing more than increasing the reputation of the Han'er in the country, but it is difficult to significantly improve the overall national strength. , can we still hope to recruit the Jianghuai barbarians to attack Guanzhong?

The Western Wei regime in Guanzhong is their real irreconcilable opponent to Northern Qi. The sooner they attack, the easier it will be to kill this old enemy. The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be for Northern Qi. Even now it is a bit late, but it is better to act immediately than to do nothing. Allowing the situation to continue to develop as it is will only become worse.

Gao Yan also quite agrees with Hu Luguang's views. Since he does not have much experience in leading troops in combat, it may not be easy to judge if it is a purely tactical issue, but this kind of strategy is already quite strategic. It's relatively easy to understand.

After a conversation with Hu Luguang, Gao Yan also felt that he had benefited a lot, so when he stood up to leave, he also expressed to Hu Luguang that he would try his best to facilitate this matter later.

After leaving the Prince of Xianyang's residence and returning to his home, Gao Yan was still very excited when he recalled the conversation he had just had with Hu Luguang, so he immediately summoned Wang Xi, a minister of the Prince's Palace, and said, "I'm going to the Prince of Xianyang's residence to visit Hu Lü Mingyue today, because I talked freely with Ming Yue about a few side affairs, and felt deeply that he was truly a man of great ability, and that he was by no means a man who was greedy for glory but had no ambition. Therefore, Ming Yue asked me to be the governor of Jinzhou, both in public and in private. You should do what you want and don't let this great energy go unused! Please ask the doctor to write a letter for me and report it to the court. I will report it to you when I come to court."

After hearing this, Wang Xi's expression changed slightly, and after a brief pause, he said: "Your Highness is dedicated to the country and is diligent in promoting talents. This is a great blessing for the country. However, Hulu Mingyue is a very human being, so please This is also an unusual job. To avoid suspicion, Your Highness is advised not to say too much about it!"

After Gao Yan heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Zunyen and others have been in charge of the government in recent years. They have cut down the military in the name of recuperation, ignored border troubles, and suppressed military personnel. Do the princes also want to do this? Is the common trick teaching me to alienate my honorable ministers and stay close to you?”

"How dare you have such a narrow plan! Because this matter is too sensitive, Your Highness's position and position may be misinterpreted by someone with evil intentions. Not only will things not be accomplished, but it will also cause a lot of personnel trouble."

After Wang Xi heard this, he leaned forward and replied with sincerity: "Mingyue has been in mourning for a long time, and we don't know the details of the changes in the world. I only know that Your Majesty is in a high position and has heavy responsibilities, and he will succeed in his recommendations. But now the situation is quite different. In the past year, especially recently, the Supreme Drunk said that the Crown Prince is cowardly and that the country needs to look up to His Highness, and everyone who speaks and listens should be cautious, but today we need to be more careful every day, and we must not be arrogant in discussing foreign affairs or making arrogant alliances with warriors!"

After hearing this, Gao Yan's face became more and more uncomfortable. Dang Jiu lowered his face and snorted coldly: "This statement is getting more and more absurd. The Supreme Son has an heir, and I will abide by my duty. The listener needs to do the same." What kind of embrace? My relatives and friends in Jinyang are all my relatives. If we are far away, who can we get close to? Doctor, please don’t bother me with your foolish words. I have already made a plan for this matter, and I don’t need you to be my adviser anymore!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal Wang Xi to leave the room.

Seeing this, Wang Xi could only sigh inwardly, stood up, apologized, and then slowly exited the room. Before he could go far, he saw another official of the palace being summoned into the hall. Apparently Gao Yan was still stubborn and wanted to use this person to draft the memorial.

Wang Xi knew that King Changshan was shrewd, capable and very independent. It would be difficult for others to dissuade him from anything he had already decided. At the same time, he could also understand why King Changshan was so insistent on this matter. It was just that he was in a different position and position and thought that doing so would be more beneficial to him.

The current Supreme Being has become increasingly moody, manic and violent in recent years. It can be said that all ministers in the court, regardless of their superiority or inferiority, are not afraid of him. Although King Changshan is closely related to his compatriots, he cannot be said to be absolutely safe.

Especially when the emperor drunkenly said that King Changshan was more suitable to inherit the throne than the crown prince, this inevitably put King Changshan in a very embarrassing and dangerous situation.

Even if the emperor was just making drunken remarks for a moment, the speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. The Tian family had nothing to do privately, and the emperor meant what he said. Such words would definitely cause great shock to the people of the time. Especially now that His Majesty the Emperor has been away from court affairs for a long time and has a group of close ministers who are in power. Do these people have any objections to this?

Regardless of whether King Changshan has such thoughts, the first thing he needs to do now is to protect himself. As a subordinate of King Changshan, Wang Xi certainly hopes that his lord will be safe and sound, and the advice he can give in the face of such a situation is to be cautious and not to make a fuss about any problem.

But King Changshan obviously has his own ideas, and is not willing to be so passive. Instead, he wants to contact and win over more people, so as to increase his influence and momentum, so as to make people fearful and dare not Targeting yourself without permission.

Hu Luguang is a representative figure among Jinyang's nobles. Although his status and relationship are not the best, his bravery and good fighting skills are recognized by the masses. Moreover, he has been out of the political situation for more than two years, and is relatively alienated from the complicated personnel relations between the DPRK and China.

King Changshan wanted to help his people return to the dynasty, and he also wanted to express his closeness to his ministers. Even if things don't work out in the end, this gesture can be regarded as being made, and it can also invite more people to get closer to it.

Things were just as Wang Xi expected. Two days later, when he was going to Jinyang Palace for an audience, Gao Yan submitted the memorial drafted by his officials and personally recommended Hu Luguang to be the governor of Jinzhou.
