First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 478 Hidden dangers in Yizhou

...

Hearing Gao Junya's words, Gao Chong's heart skipped a beat, something big was about to happen... tentatively asked: "Youzhou?"

Gao Junya paused, put down the teacup in his hand, "There is a big event in Youzhou, the King of Lujiang can't make it, my concern is in Yizhou."

Now it's Gao Chong's turn to be puzzled, Yizhou?Yizhou has Dou Gui sitting in the town, and there is no hidden danger, so why worry about Yizhou.

Seeing Gao Chong's expression, Gao Junya knew that he didn't know the officialdom in Yizhou, so he sighed, "Do you know Wei Yunqi, Shangshu of Xingtai Military Department of Yizhou?"

"Wei Yunqi?" Gao Chong came to his senses, "That savage man who used bullshit to control bullshit? Of course he knows."

Gao Junya nodded slightly, not surprised, after all Wei Yunqi is quite famous.

"Dou Zhengze is the most upright and ruthless person, with no tolerance for sand in his eyes, and never giving in to softness, while Wei Yunqi is also a strong character, two people with similar personalities have worked together for a long time, and conflicts will inevitably arise.

Although I have only been in Yizhou for a short month, I have already seen that Dou and Wei do not get along, and now that the change in the Changlin Gate happened, I am afraid that Dou Gui will attack Wei Yun."

To be able to call Gao Chong a fierce compliment shows that Wei Yunqi is by no means mediocre.

Wei Yunqi came from Peng Gongfang of Wei's family in Jingzhao. He studied under the great Confucian Wang Po, who was capable of both literature and martial arts. He was a Confucian general and became famous very early.

As early as the Kaihuang period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he was famous in the government and the public for not avoiding the powerful and impeaching cronies. His temper was really stinky and hard.

At that time, Liu Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War, recommended Wei Yunqi. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty summoned Wei Yunqi to pay homage to him. Bring it up to me in person?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunqi looked at Liu Shu, the benefactor who recommended him, and said solemnly: "Liu Shangshu is extravagant and tyrannical, and has not made great contributions to the country. Just because he is His Majesty's son-in-law, he holds a high position in Shangshu and has the ability to grasp military opportunities. Power, I am worried that the world will think that your Majesty has improperly employed people, and this is what I think is unreasonable."

When Liu Shu heard this from the side, he became numb at the time. He really shot himself in the foot by recommending Wei Yunqi. Although he didn't have much talent, he was Wei Yunqi's benefactor anyway. It seemed that this guy was ungrateful and impeached him face to face.

However, when these words were spread, no one insulted Wei Yunqi because of it, but thought that Wei Yunqi was upright and not afraid of the powerful.

There are two reasons, one is that Liu Shu really doesn't have much talent, and the other is that Wei Yunqi impeached him face to face, frankly and frankly.

Later, the Khitan tribe plundered Yingzhou. At that time, the Turks had a close relationship with the Sui Dynasty. Wei Yunqi was ordered to conquer. He did not use a single soldier from the Sui army, but borrowed [-] troops from the Turkic Qimin Khan. Assault, defeating Khitan, this move made Wei Yun famous all over the world and won the title of famous general.

Hearing Gao Junya's words, Gao Chong was still puzzled, "Aye, did you worry too much? Although there may be conflicts between two strong personalities working together, Dou Zhengze pays attention to the law and rules the most, so that there will be no chaos. bring it on".

Gao Junya glanced at Gao Chong, "Wei Qingsi, the former prince's family commander, and Wei Qingjian, the former palace official, these two are Wei Yunqi's cousins, and Wei Ting, the former prince Zuowei, is Wei Yunqi's cousin. According to Dou Zhengze's loyalty to the prince, do you think he won't doubt Wei Yunqi?"

Hearing this, Gao Chong couldn't help being stunned, and Gao Junya continued: "Wei Yunqi has a strong and stubborn personality, he would rather die than surrender, how could he accept unreasonable doubts, the conflict between the two is bound to intensify."

Gao Chong nodded silently, and said directly: "At the beginning of the year, Dou Zhengze wrote a letter impeaching Wei Yunqi for colluding with bureaucrats. It seems that there is really no room for relaxation of the conflict between the two of them."

"It's impossible to communicate with bureaucrats and thieves," Gao Junya said, "I have checked carefully. Wei Yunqi is in charge of Yizhou's military affairs, but there has been no war in Yizhou for a long time, and the military strength of the government soldiers is weak. In the mountains, if Wei Yunqi does not cultivate a strong army, it will be difficult to quell the bureaucratic chaos in the mountains, and Wei Yunqi has a tough personality, and he dislikes Dou Zhengze's meddling in the military the most, so he disdains and explains."

While talking, Gao Junya also frowned and sighed: "Both of them are loyal ministers and good generals, but their personalities don't match, and they don't want to communicate with each other. When I was in Yizhou, I wanted to mediate. So I recalled the capital, and I don't know what the situation in Yizhou is now."

"Then after you told the prince, how did the prince deal with it?" Gao Chong asked curiously.

The easiest way to deal with this situation is to separate the two. As Gao Junya said, when two people with bad tempers meet, conflicts will definitely arise.

Gao Junya was expressionless, "The crown prince just gave Dou Zhengze an order, ordering him not to act rashly, and not to publicize the news of the Changlin Gate's change, but how can this news be concealed, once Wei Yunqi hears about it, he must bad thing".

Gao Chong was startled, and asked in astonishment: "How can the prince treat him like this?"

Gao Junya saw that there was no one around, and said calmly: "After all, Dou Zhengze is an old man of Qin Palace."

Gao Chong was shocked, he understood Gao Junya's meaning, but it was hard for him to accept.

Gao Junya was also unwilling, and sighed: "Wei Yunqi has a straightforward temper, allowing Wen Wen Yun Wu...it's a pity."

It's just that Jingzhao's Wei family is too absolute in their actions, and they spare no effort in supporting Li Jiancheng. Wei Yunqi has an upright personality and disdains forming a party for personal gain. He certainly did not join Li Jiancheng, but Wei Ting, Wei Qingsi, Wei Qingjian and other Wei family's direct descendants are true Don't buckle into a partisan.

Doesn't Li Shimin know Wei Yunqi's character?He must know, he must also know that it is impossible for Wei Yunqi to join Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin will not speak for Wei Yunqi, the reason is very simple.

First, because of the Wei family, the Wei family spared no effort to support Li Jiancheng, so there must be a price to pay, even though Wei Ting and others have all recalled them.

Second, it was because of Dou Gui. Dou Gui was Li Shimin's uncle and Li Shimin's confidant. He and Wei Yunqi had a disagreement. As a nephew, Li Shimin could not take his uncle's side.

It's just that Gao Chong finds it difficult to accept that Dou Wei and Dou Wei are both upright and upright gentlemen. It would be a pity if an unsolvable conflict arises due to a misunderstanding.

Take the Liao people's rebellion as an example, it's not that Wei Yunqi doesn't want to destroy it, but he needs to train special mountain soldiers to go into the mountains to put down the rebellion, but he doesn't bother to explain it to Dou Gui, who doesn't know anything about military affairs.

This caused Dou Gui to think that Wei Yunqi's corpse was a vegetarian, not doing business, and even thought that Wei Yunqi might be in collusion with the bureaucrats, and then Wei Yunqi became even more angry when he found out, let alone communicate with Dou Gui.

This is completely a big misunderstanding. In Gao Chong's view, this is a bit like two people in love. They are obviously innocent. A small misunderstanding only needs to be explained, but both of them have strong personalities. If you don't open your mouth, this misunderstanding will grow bigger and bigger.
