Chapter 263: Back to business
Wang Huaqiang felt the cold air on his back again this time, and even his neck had the feeling of holding it with a knife for Laihu'er last time, he settled down, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Gao Servant, maybe you have a little misunderstanding about this, but at that time, I asked the Duke of Yue Guo and General Huangfu, and they all nodded." ”
Gao Xi said coldly: "I know the ins and outs of this matter very well, whether it is the Duke of Yue or the General Huangfu, there was no such proposal at the beginning, and the order I gave to the Duke of Yue Guo also made it clear, it was you who asked you to go to Xiangzhou alone, it was you who made your own initiative and made this proposal to them, for this reason, you also had a private deal with Huangfu Ji, and helped him come up with an idea to deal with Lai Hu'er, do you dare to deny it?" ”
Wang Huaqiang was about to collapse, he felt that the Gao Xi in front of him was really not a person, more terrible than the most powerful public security chief he had ever faced before he crossed over, and his every move could not be hidden from his eyes.
But now he doesn't have the time to feel the strength of Gao Xi's intelligence system, he knows all about this kind of private matter, obviously there is sufficient evidence, he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said with a straight face: "Gao Servant Shooting, it is indeed my idea, but the original intention of the humble position is not to establish his own strength, but really want to train the recruits in Xiangzhou well, please be clear." ”
Gao Xi's face softened slightly: "If you really had a disobedient heart, I would have taken you down a long time ago, would I still see you like this?" Wang Yitong, your self-righteous and disobedient behavior will harm you one day. Not every chief will tolerate you as well as the old man.
Do you think that you provoked the matter of fighting between Hu'er and Huangfuji, and the Yue Guo Guild didn't know about it? If it weren't for the fact that you were recommended by the old man, he would have beheaded you a long time ago. and then split up to appease the two generals. ”
Wang Huaqiang's face turned pale: "But Yue Guogong has always been very polite to his humble position." And judging from the personnel arrangements after this incident. He also accepted the lowly proposal and left the general to guard Minyue. ”
Gao Xi snorted disdainfully: "The one who stayed to protect the child the most was the old man and me, Yue Guogong's proposal was to leave Shi Wansui behind, Wang Huaqiang, do you think you can really influence an important minister like Yue Guogong?" ”
Wang Huaqiang choked up again and had nothing to say, but he didn't expect this secret contest between Gao Xi and Yang Su to gradually surface. He suddenly felt that in the future court, there might be a battle between these two peerless talents.
Gao Xi continued: "Let's talk about your Lingnan affairs, you only took 3,000 people to the south, you are so sure? Or are you in a hurry to make a contribution, or are you unwilling to do things under Wang Shiji, so you are so eager for quick success? ”
Wang Huaqiang was not afraid this time, he wiped the sweat on his head, and replied calmly: "The humble post is fully grasped before going south, and the Zhou Shiju department is only 20,000, and the humble post is confident that he will win the battle." Then you can act on the opportunity, if Mrs. Xian's department has a clear position. Acting with our army, she will go directly south, and if she falls to the rebels, she will be able to hold Donghengzhou and open a passage for the army to move south. ”
Gao Xi nodded: "I don't care about you, after you defeated Zhou Shiju's subordinates, you refused to surrender more than 4,000 of his subordinates and slaughtered them all, how do you explain this?" ”
Wang Huaqiang replied unhurriedly: "Our army is small, the rebels are arrogant, at this time the first thing to think about is to ensure military victory, not the implementation of benevolence and righteousness, only by killing all their subordinates, can the other rebels shudder, and these more than 4,000 people are more than the number of our army, and putting them back will reveal the truth of our army, and the humble post now also thinks that the handling at that time was not wrong." Moreover, after the capture of Siheung, he accepted the surrender of Lee Kwang-shi. ”
Gao Xi looked at Wang Huaqiang for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Wang Yitong, do you think that with your merits, what position should be given after the rebellion in Lingnan is quelled?" “
Wang Huaqiang was obedient this time, he blinked his eyes, and said: "Actually, the lowly position was originally a little resentful in his heart, but listening to the analysis of the high servant, when the lowly position was in Lingnan, he was not qualified to be the captain of the Fengche. ”
A smile appeared on Gao Xi's face: "Wang Yitong, you are a smart person, you do have merit this time, but you are self-righteous, and the problem of self-interest has not been completely changed, so this time the old man arranged it like this, with the credit of the wheat iron rod, it was originally impossible to rank Yitong, but you put him in danger, and he also gladly went, as compensation, I will give him part of your credit, let him be at the same level as you, can you accept it?" ”
Wang Huaqiang thought about it and nodded: "It should be so." It's just ........." He suddenly thought of Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan, and almost blurted out, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed.
Gao Xi suddenly saw through Wang Huaqiang's thoughts, and continued: "Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan's situation is different, Yue Guogong and General Huangfu also specially wrote to ask for credit for these two people, they have other military merits when defending Suzhou City, and they have been with Yue Guogong before, these two people have command skills compared to Mai Tiecane, and they are suitable for actual positions, so the old man put these two people in the border pass to manage the government soldiers. ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded, he was still a little unwilling, and said: "Gao Servant Shooting, the lowly position is now fully understood, there is no problem with your arrangement, but the lowly position is a false position, is it true that the lowly position will be idle after the high servant shooting?" The lowly position would rather be demoted, but also want to find something to do and serve the country. ”
Gao Xi sighed: "Wang Yitong, you should actually know the intention of the old man's arrangement, your talent is outstanding, but in the court that emphasizes origin and relationship, the foundation is insufficient, and now the position of the assassin history to the county order in various states and counties is mostly held by the children of the family with the title, and it is obviously too wronged to let you go to be a clerk. ”
As soon as Wang Huaqiang heard Gao Xi talk about this, it was useless to say that it was useless, he was too young and had no background, and the partnership business agreement with Han Baohu and Huang Fuji had not been fulfilled.
But Wang Huaqiang thought that after the last Turkic trip, most of the branches that Longyou brought to Guzang were forced to close, and he was still a little unwilling to think about it, and the Bliss Villa in Daxing City had been built for more than half a year, but due to Gao Xi's last order, it had not been opened, so he tried to ask: "Gao Servant, if you go home to run the industry, what kind of business can you do, and where can you do business?" Please also make it clear. ”
Gao Xi glanced at Wang Huaqiang and said in a deep voice: "Wang Yitong, do you still want to open your Bliss Villa in Daxing?" ”
Wang Huaqiang knew that this was the only time he could bargain with Gao Xi, so he simply said: "Yes, Gao Servant Shooting, now I am humbling and going home to live idlely, the so-called business is the first thing to make money, the last Turkic trip, I closed all the shops from Longyou to Liangzhou, Jiangnan has just been pacified, and I have to wait and see for a while, Gao Servant Shooting, I can't say that I work hard for the country, in the end, the official can't do it, and the money can't be made." ”
Gao Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Can't you reopen those branches in Longxi?" ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled bitterly: "Gao Servant Shot, you don't know the way of doing business, the most important thing is to look at the connections and relationships, I established those branches back then, but it took a few years to make various transactions with countless local snakes before opening a component store, and now those local tyrants in Guzang have such a deep enmity with me last time, how can I open a store again." Even if I intend to re-operate in Longxi, it will not be three or four years. ”
Gao Xi sighed: "Okay, then Bliss Villa, you are allowed to operate semi-openly, but I have said it first, you can make money, don't think about using this way to win over some high-ranking officials and nobles from a family, you also know the old man's intelligence ability, don't say it is unpredictable." ”
Wang Huaqiang was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded again and again: "It must be." You only need to make money, and you know this villa, the main thing is to give those old and young people in Nanchen a place to eat, drink and have fun, what kind of power can these people have. ”
Gao Xi said coldly: "Wang Yitong, then it's a word, from today onwards, you go home first, if the court needs you, I will arrange a chance for you." ”
Wang Huaqiang solemnly saluted, retreated, the blue sky and white clouds outside, the sky was high and the clouds were light, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if a burden of more than two years had been put down, and then, he could finally do something of his own.
When he walked out of the gate of Shangshu Province, Wang Huaqiang suddenly heard someone calling to him: "Wang Yitong, please stay!"
Wang Huaqiang stopped, turned around and looked, it was a familiar carriage, it was the one that picked up him into Gaofu at night after the celebration banquet of destroying Nan Chen, cypress light paint, no conspicuous ornaments, and it was not conspicuous at all in Daxing City, which was full of incense cars, and the family who drove it was the one who picked him up more than two years ago, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, black clothes and small hats, Wang Huaqiang's memory is very good, and he has an impression of this face, and he remembered it at once.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Wang Yitong, the servant Gao ordered me to send you home." ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded, opened the car door, and thought to himself, it seems that Gao Xi still wants me to carry out some secret mission, last time it was Changsun Sheng and Pei Shiju, which partner will Gao Xi arrange for me this time?
The door was gently opened, Wang Huaqiang was stunned for a moment, there was a woman sitting behind the bead curtain, with pigtails, veils, and eyes like water, could it be An Suiyu who had not been seen for a long time? But there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, and she stared at Wang Huaqiang coldly: "Wang Huaqiang, Gao Servant sent me to assist you in business." (To be continued......)
