Chapter 575 Old Fried Tiao (Third)
Su Wei sat in the bullock cart and waited for a while.

After a while, a Zhao official in robes walked out of the door and came to the bullock cart, and asked, "Is this Mr. Fang? Your Majesty, please come to Qianyang Hall to meet you!"

Su Wei nodded and said, "Thank you."

After talking about Su Wei and the other party entering the city through the Duanmen Gate and arriving at Qianyang Hall, Su Wei looked at the palace and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In just a few years, this hall has changed its fourth owner.

In the palace, Su Wei met Li Chongjiu, who was unexpectedly young, not yet 30 years old, which surprised Su Wei greatly.But Su Wei immediately thought of Yang Guang. Yang Guang was also a young hero. He became emperor at the age of 36, but so what, he buried the Great Sui within a few years.Young people are lustful, Yang Guang is like this, and this young man is probably no exception.

"The old man Su Wei sees His Majesty, please forgive me for being too old to bow down!"

Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "Your Majesty is the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty and cannot help the country. When I saw Yu Wenhuaji, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong, I was willing to bow down to him. But when I met me today, I said that I can't worship because I am old. Isn't this deceiving me? ?”

Su Wei blushed, knowing that Li Chongjiu satirized him and had been an official for several dynasties, this experience is too rich.

But Su Wei is still a man who has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he replied calmly: "In the past, when Bailixi was in Yu State, Yu State fell; If you can't listen, so the country is destroyed, how can you blame the old man?"

Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard the words: "Give me a seat, so as not to say that I don't favor the elders!"

Su Wei sat down and said: "Today, I am eighty years old, and half of my body has already been buried in the ground. I said that there is nothing to do in the world, but I came here today. First, I came to see the weather of Zhao Guo, and second, I saw the real situation of today. dragon."

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly: "How do you see it?"

"It's well deserved. It's really a blessing for the old minister to see someone who can finally rule the world a hundred years ago."

Li Chongjiu laughed happily when he heard the words. Su Wei thought that he was really young and ambitious, and he was still a little less determined. This person must be soft rather than hard, so it is easy to deal with.

Unexpectedly, after Li Chongjiu laughed, he lowered his face and said, "Fang Gong, if you have anything to say, you may as well just say it. I like straightforward people, and I don't like others going around."

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, his mouth without a few teeth was almost unable to close.

Su Wei originally thought that Li Chongjiu would have a lot of weight in relying on his elders and selling his elders, but he didn't expect that the other party was not polite and didn't give him any face.Su Wei knew at the moment that Li Chongjiu was definitely the Lord of the Kingdom now, and he couldn't use the way he served Yang Guang, Li Mi, Yu Wenhuaji, and Wang Shichong to deal with Li Chongjiu.

Su Wei pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is the place of the Four Wars. Although Zhao's power is strong, it is still inferior to Li Tang. Li Tang is in the west, and Zhao is in the east. If the east and the west are fighting for supremacy, the power of Zhao is still weaker than that of Li Tang. Taking the line of Hedong and Luoyang as the central axis, whichever family occupies Luoyang and Hedong will take the lead. The old man guessed that His Majesty wants Luoyang City to block Li Tang's way out of Guanzhong in the west. In order to counterattack, Li Tang , we must mobilize a large army to attack Luoyang. So the gain or loss of Luoyang City is very important. This old man is here to help His Majesty stabilize Luoyang."

Li Chongjiu had just listened to Su Wei's talk for a long time, and at first he looked down upon this old Sui prime minister, thinking that the other party was just an old fritter.When the other party said these words, Li Chongjiu immediately looked at him with admiration.These remarks are from a strategic position, and Li Chongjiu's intentions to attack Luoyang are fully revealed. The pros and cons of it are clearly analyzed, and his thinking is by no means like an 80-year-old old man.

Such a capable minister, why couldn't Emperor Sui Yang use him? On the contrary, the government and the public were all infamy against Su Wei, saying that when he served Emperor Sui Yang, he never dared to speak out and advised him. the prime minister.

Back then, when Yang Jian used Su Wei as Nayan, he said that a big boat has heavy responsibilities, a horse gallops a long way, and a king has the talents of several people, so it is necessary for him to be a king.The same is true for Li Chongjiu's evaluation of Su Wei.

Li Chongjiu admired talented people the most, and immediately asked: "What does Mr. Fang have to teach me?"

Su Wei said: "First stabilize the hearts of the people, then appease the ministers, and then stabilize the counties around Luoyang, step by step, otherwise, even if King Zhao takes Luoyang, he can only repeat the same mistakes as Wang Shichong. As far as the present is concerned, the old man sees the city's majesty It is a very good job to put up a list to calm the people, as long as a few culprits are punished, and then the warehouses are opened to release food and the law and order will be stabilized, then it will only be a matter of time before the people of Luoyang recover."

Hearing what Su Wei said, Li Chongjiu immediately showed the same expression as the hero. These are exactly what he discussed with Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, and Wei Zheng, and he will do it step by step. Su Wei just said it casually, not because he is resourceful. , but he has been in the position of Zaifu in the Great Sui Dynasty for more than ten years, and he has too much experience in dealing with similar matters.

"As for the next step to appease the Duke, I implore Your Majesty to release Du Yan, the eldest grandson Anshi, and the old ministers who served Zheng Guo. They are all innocent people. Wang Shichong is in Luoyang. For the sake of his family and life, he has no choice but to follow him. If Your Majesty Killing them all will inevitably force these ministers in Luoyang to vote for Li Tang. Isn’t that harming oneself and benefiting others? Your Majesty not only wants to pardon, but also entrusts them with reuse. The old man is old and has a few years to live, and there is no plan. What do you want, but the only thing you can do is a thousand gold horse bones, I hope His Majesty can bestow an honorary title, so Luoyang Dukes will definitely rush to vote for such a generous scholar like His Majesty."

Li Chongjiu nodded, he didn't blame Su Wei for speaking so bluntly.Li Chongjiu said: "I have already drafted the edict. This time when Luoyang was captured, except for Wang Shichong, the father and son of Wang Xuanying, who was the pseudo-Zheng, and Zhu Can's beheading, and the exile of the Wang family, the rest of the officials did not change. As for Du Yan and eldest grandson Anshi, I have already issued an edict to pardon them, and now our court officials are hosting a banquet for the two of them in Dongcheng."

When Su Wei heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and bowed to Li Chongjiu, "Your Majesty is wise, it's just an old man who talks too much and dictates things."

Li Chongjiu smiled.

Speaking of this, Su Wei just paused, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, I have a granddaughter who is unparalleled in appearance. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the children of the Luoyang family flock to her. But the old man always regards her as a treasure and refuses to marry. , the little girl is also very angry, saying that she will not marry if she is not a hero, seeing Your Majesty today, this old man will know what a real dragon is, now I want to betroth my little girl to Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to take her in!"

When Li Chongjiu heard what Su Wei started, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea, but when he heard the little girl was very angry, she said that she would not marry unless she was a hero.I vaguely felt that these words were a bit familiar, as if Li Shimin had said such words when talking about Li Zhiwan in the past.

Li Chongjiu smiled, neither agreed nor refused.
