Yang Guang's face changed, he knew that Duan Wenzhen had to say it at the end, it must be very important, but he didn't expect that he would directly point the finger at Wang Shichong and Hu Sizheng, so Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Duan Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just explain it directly, I will definitely listen to your opinion carefully." ”

Duan Wen Zhenqiang supported half of his body, leaned on the couch, his expression became extremely serious, the sick towel on his head was affected by this action, and fell to the side of the bed, he didn't care, and said: "Your Majesty, first of all, this Hu Sizheng, this person is in the same military department as the minister, the minister knows very well what this person is like, he is the traitor of the Northern Qi Dynasty Hu Sichun, when the first emperor was there, he wanted to promote him several times, because he was indeed talented, but it was because of his identity as the son of a traitor that he gave up many times, and he just let him be a governor. An official position such as a county is insignificant, but he doesn't want this person to enter the court and grasp the secrets. ”

"But this Hu Si Zheng, but is not willing to sink, after His Majesty ascended the throne, all kinds of operations, went through many ways, and finally sought the position of the military department, this position is very important, he is a soldier Cao Lang, the distribution of soldiers and horses throughout the country, the transfer of generals, are well understood, and when this person is in office, several times meddling in the affairs of other departments, Wei Chen, Wei Chen thinks, this person is ill-intentioned, sinister intentions, Your Majesty must be clear."

Yang Guang had heard Duan Wenzhen privately say many times before that Hu Sizheng could not be used, but in the days when Duan Wenzhen was seriously ill, Hu Sizheng, who was driving with him, was acting as the secretary of the military department, mastering the secrets, and all affairs were well organized. He was extremely satisfied. In the past, he also thought that Duan Wenzhen was born in the old and rough army. Some people are jealous of Hu Sizheng, who was born in a literati, but this time Duan Wenzhen is last words, just now even Yu Wenshu was impeached, obviously not like he was seeking his own life, which made him a little undecided, and he was silent for a while.

Duan Wenzhen saw Yang Guang like this, and also knew that he didn't accept all his words for a while, so he sighed. Said: "Wei Chen knows that His Majesty will doubt Wei Chen's motives for saying this, thinking that Wei Chen is jealous of Hu Sizheng's talent, but the minister is about to die, and his words are also good, a dead person is not necessary to compete with the living for the position, Hu Sizheng is indeed talented, this Wei Chen has never denied this, but he has bad intentions, it seems that he intends to occupy this important position in the military department, and the plan is big." He had spent the previous twenty years in various governors, such as Shi and Sima. It is not allowed to be reused, and when he is about to be a servant, he suddenly has a large amount of money to go to the door, and let the important minister help him speak, Your Majesty, don't you think, don't you think this thing is very abnormal? ”

Yang Guang shook his head: "Hu Sizheng is a rare person who was born in the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in my court, not all of the Guan Long family masters the army, and the Shandong clan controls the government, and it must be checked and balanced by the Jiangnan warriors and the Northern Qi literati, Hu Sizheng's father is indeed a traitor, but this does not mean that he is also a traitor, the first emperor does not use him, mainly succumb to the pressure from the Guan Long family, I want to be a promising king, I can't limit talents, now Hu Sizheng is in charge of the military department, everything is well managed, if I want to temporarily replace people, At least there has to be a handover process, I will pay attention to this matter, and Duan Shangshu should not say more. ”

Duan Wenzhen sighed, he also knew that Yang Guang had made up his mind, and it was in vain to say it, but he still couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, if you are really reluctant to Hu Sizheng's talent, you can let him go to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and even the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of War is really a confidential department, please change to a loyal and reliable person, the ability does not have to be very outstanding, but it must be reliable." ”

Yang Guang was a little unhappy, and said coldly: "I have already said that I will consider this matter, now is the time of the conquest, the time of employing people, at least during the conquest of Liao, temporary substitution, there is a risk of making a mistake, I just want to change people, and it will not be replaced at this time, I have made up my mind, don't say anything more!" ”

Duan Wenduan had to change the topic: "Then don't talk about Hu Sizheng, just say, only talk about Wang Shichong, if it is said that Hu Sizheng is greedy and elusive, this Wang Shichong is even more likely to subvert a guy in my Great Sui world, I hope Your Majesty will get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a scourge to the country." ”

Yang Guang's face sank like water, and said: "Wang Shichong is indeed a little crooked, I did a lot of efforts to seize the throne back then, I still know him very well, and I have always taken strict precautions, but over the years, this person has been open-minded, and has offered me many good strategies, and I am surrounded by people who are mostly welcoming people who figure out the holy will, only Wang Shichong, but he can risk death to admonish, I don't think he is a traitor who must be eliminated." Duan Shangshu, don't you have any evidence that he wants to rebel? ”

Duan Wenzhen sighed: "If Weichen had that evidence, he would have dedicated it to His Majesty a long time ago, but Weichen is confident that these eyes will not go wrong, Wang Shichong is a dragon and a tiger, a wolf Gu Jackal, someone has a brilliant appearance, and he is by no means a subordinate person, the reason why he is very deferential to Your Majesty now, and even very loyal, is because he is sure that Your Majesty is also suspicious of him, and he has to behave loyal and upright, and he can't dispel His Majesty's doubts." ”

"And he is rich in the world, although he does not have many family members like many Guan Long generals, but his business gangs and armed guards in various branches can organize tens of thousands of horses overnight, and the people under him, from the steward Wei Zheng to the head of the guard Shan Xiongxin, Liu Heimin and others, are all outstanding talents, such talents, do not go out to be officials, but are willing to be a steward and guard under him, Your Majesty doesn't think this Wang Shichong is big?"

Duan Wenzhen's words also hit Yang Guang's heart, he stood up, paced back and forth, walked several laps, and then stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Shangshu, you have some truth, but there is no clear evidence, you can't kill the minister without permission, Wang Shichong is one of the few people who can speak out, if you kill him, it will be the best way to speak in the world, do you have any better way to control this person and use it for me?" ”

Duan Wenzhen sighed and said faintly: "Since Your Majesty is unwilling to kill the killer, then you can only take strict precautions against it, and you must not let it control the military power." Hu Sizheng is a scholar, will not march to fight, but this Wang Shichong is a famous general in the world, will skip people, Your Majesty must not grant him military power, let alone let his lead the troops stand alone, in this way, the country is very fortunate, the world is very fortunate, this is a heartfelt word before the death of the minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will adopt. ”

Yang Guang nodded very seriously: "Duan Shangshu's words, I remember them in my heart!" (To be continued.) )
