Chapter five hundred and eighty third
After Yang Ye left, Wang Pu looked worried and pondered: "The old minister always feels uneasy about this."
Guo Shao observed Wang Pu's face, looked out the window again, and breathed out. At the end of March, the northern weather was cold and hot, and even the Hedong area felt wet and comfortable; the war in Jinyang had ended, and although it was full of holes, it was very quiet. But Guo Shao still couldn't relax, especially when he made such an important decision... At this time, the military and national decision was really his word.
He asked in a gentle tone: "Is Yang Ye willing to rebel?"
Wang Pu pondered for a moment and shook his head without hesitation: "At least now Yang Ye is unwilling to rebel. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han) was destroyed and the Great Zhou was strong, it would be of no benefit to his opposition to the Great Zhou. What's more, Your Majesty has the grace of forgiveness and the grace of knowing the favor, and morally he is not willing to betray Your Majesty easily."
Guo Shao asked again: "Even if he rebelled, will he have a chance to succeed?"
Wang Pu said: "No. Jinyang Xiongcheng must not be handed over to the Hedong people. All localities must also be appointed by the court to implement prefectures and counties. As long as there is no major problem in the world, Hedong still wants to be big, and there is no chance to defend without barriers and territory, and attack the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is definitely not an opponent of the Great Zhou imperial guards."
Guo Shao said: "I let Yang Ye be the chief general, and he can use his own people; but the deputy generals and military generals at all levels are appointed by the court. Unless a sudden mutiny was launched in the Qing Dynasty and the generals in the army, he would not be able to implement any military orders and actions that were unscrupulous. The specific operation of the rebellion was often constrained, which was very difficult.
First of all, Yang Ye didn’t want to rebel, and even if he rebeled, he would have no chance. So why don’t we let a capable general lead the Hedong Army?”
Wang Pu nodded and said seriously: "The reason why I am uneasy is that the way we occupy Hedong is now very thorough: use a large army to attack and destroy it. There is a full opportunity to make a stable layout from the beginning without giving any opportunity to form a warlord. Then Yang Ye will certainly not act rashly when he was in power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor will he have a chance; he will not even think about it. But if there is a shock in the world, he will be a hidden danger of a warlord."
Guo Shao carefully savored Wang Pu's words and smiled and said, "However, with Yang Ye, the Hedong Army has stronger combat effectiveness and is more beneficial to the Great Zhou Army."
There are pros and cons, Wang Pu no longer said anything.
Guo Shao looked at Wang Pu and said, "One person cannot step into the same river twice."
Wang Pu stared at him in a daze. Wang Pu had a friendship with him before Guo Shao ascended the throne. Now occasionally, only Wang Pu can look at him directly like this.
...
After Yang Ye returned home, he told his family about the result of the saint's face. All the wives and servants at home looked happy and were happy to find a new way out for the Yang family. However, Yang Ye had a stern face. He was not unhappy, but was not easy to show.
As a general of the Northern Han Kingdom, it seems that it is not good to celebrate after surrendering.
Yang Ye then went to see Hongying, who was still in the wing room where Hongying lived. Although the mansion was not as beautiful as the south, the peach and apricot trees in the yard were all blooming, and the willows all had tender green branches and leaves, which looked red, green and green, and they looked quite lively. They were dotted between the hard mountain-top brick houses with very short eaves, so they should not use the scenery, they were very beautiful.
Unexpectedly, when Hongying met, she turned her head and wiped her tears secretly.
She probably knew that Yang Ye had been appointed as the commander of the Hedong Army by Emperor Jinkou Yuyan. Yang Ye thought, she probably cried because of the parting... Yang Ye officially joined the Dazhou, Hongying's mission had been completed, and her identity had been exposed. It was useless for her to stay, and she should go back to the place she sent.
Yang Ye said: "There is no banquet that will last forever, so don't be too sad, let's be at peace with each other."
After hearing this, Hongying cried even harder and covered her face with a handkerchief to cry.
Yang Ye could feel that she was really sad at this moment. Not to mention a woman, even he felt so sad. After several months together, he was always reluctant to let go of his ears and skin.
At first, Hongying set up a plan to deceive herself. Yang Ye kept her and left a way out for him. He didn't want to offend the Great Zhou court. Everyone had their own needs. But now, he still couldn't help but think of her gentleness, her indulgence, her intimate words, that gentleness, and the things between bed were not comparable to ordinary people. Although Yang Ye had everything, he still had fewer joys in his daily life. He was nostalgic for those little things... Even if Hongying did not have a background, she was even disabled.
"Oh." Yang Ye sighed deeply.
This sigh was filled with sadness of parting. Hongying suddenly rushed into Yang Ye's arms and cried bitterly. Tears quickly wet Yang Ye's clothes. Her warm body was trembling. The sound was like the listener being sad and the listener was crying. She hugged Yang Ye tightly, and the strength displayed by the weak body was like a breath conveying her heart-wrenching reluctance.
Yang Ye couldn't help but raise his hand, hold her in his arms, and sat there blankly without saying a word.
He suddenly thought: The Emperor of Great Zhou met with him for the first time, but he handed over all the military power of the Hedong Army to him. Is it really safe? This Hongying is a detailed work of the Zhou Kingdom. If he stayed by his side on his own initiative, he would also be open and loyal. Hongying also had reason to stay... It was equivalent to the existence of the internal affairs supervisor.
Yang Ye weighed for a moment and said, "If you really can't bear to leave, why not stay?"
Hongying choked and said, "What's the use of me staying?"
Yang Ye said: "Yang is a consistent person and open-minded person. I don't care about your identity."
Hongying didn't speak for a long time.
Yang Ye held her shoulders, let her head leave her chest, frowned and looked at her face: "Don't you want to?"
The red oriole has a difficult face, so I don’t agree.
Yang Ye thought for a while and suddenly said, "Did the Great Zhou court promise you wealth and glory?"
Hongying said: "How can a person like me be rich and prosperous..."
But Yang Ye could imagine that if the Zhou court did not give her enough benefits, she would be willing to travel thousands of miles to sell her body? What's more, in Hedong, where spies are so dangerous, how could a woman easily serve the government?
Hongying is definitely not a good woman, and she is disabled and has almost no ability to survive. But once she has property and has connections in Tokyo, she will live a good life in a city like Tokyo. At least she can buy some industries and hire some slaves... at least it will be much better than being a slave and concubine to please others and let mermaid meat.
"I must obey the orders of the Shangfeng and have to leave the Yang family." Hongying pursed her red lips, her eyes were still red. "General Yang treats me well, I will definitely remember that my heart belongs to General Yang."
Yang Ye shook his head and laughed, "A woman like you... doesn't belong to anyone, at least not mine. I can't even have my body, so how can I think of anything?"
Hongying looked a little embarrassed and said angrily: "What do you mean? In your heart, am I very unbearable..."
Yang Ye suddenly became a little angry and said, "It's different from a good wife anyway. Forget it, you can leave by yourself. Isn't that groom yours?"
Hongying was immediately embarrassed and angry, her face turned red and white, and her body was so angry that she trembled: "Okay, okay... I know that the Yang family generals are now promoted, and the officials treat me with courtesy, and I don't need me anymore. That's all."
Yang Ye didn't say anything, and stood up with his sleeves.
Hongying said sadly: "General Yang! Do you really think that treating you is all fake?"
Yang Ye turned around and said, "It was fake at the beginning, but it was the case in the end."
He walked to the door and heard Hongying choking sadly and said, "You never treat women as human beings! We are just something you can occupy. You only care about yourself, and you have never thought about it for us..."
After Yang Ye walked out, he looked at Hongying slightly. He did hurt her. At this time, Hongying looked dull, as if she was not nostalgic, which was really pitiful.
However, Yang Ye did not go back. It was not that he had seen his concubines and wives. According to Yang Ye's opinion, they were soft-hearted and easily hurt, but they still recovered very quickly.
...
Guo Shao wrote hard in Xingyuan's study for a long time. He put down his brush and read it. Then he sat on a chair and slowly sorted out the paper. There were still many things to do in Hedong, but he just kept the army in Jinyang for the time being because the Liao army was still confronting Xinkou.
What he just wrote was a letter to the Tokyo court that governance in various parts of Hedong requires the court to deploy and dispatch officials; and Fu Jinzhan and Zhengshitang also need to know the emperor's strategic intentions.
After finishing something, he was distracted and sometimes did some business slowly. Guo Shao had his own way of doing things in his life and work. He could not maintain a high-tensioned work day and night, but he would spend time doing some useful practical things every day... His philosophy is that to do anything well, it takes time to soak in it.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and found that there was no water in the teacup. As soon as he put down the teacup, he saw a jade hand put a cup of tea next to it and took away the empty teacup.
Guo Shao raised his head and looked at Jing Niang, and smiled and said, "I think you are very quick and easy to do things, but your heart is still very meticulous."
Jing Niang said nothing, just did her own trivial matters.
Guo Shao said casually again: "You are dedicated to me."
After hearing this, Jing Niang looked at him, and finally felt in the mood to speak. She said, "The people from Chen Jiali's family are all like bitches! I think they were all taught by her."
Guo Shao was stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly scold her again? I know you have always had prejudice against Mrs. Shen."
Jingniang said: "Hongying is back."
Guo Shao suddenly said: "She has no credit and has worked hard. The reward promised by the Military and Caosi will still be fulfilled in full."
After saying that, he picked up the brush and wrote two words "Automatic" on a document that was submitted to the army. He raised the brush and thought about it, and then said: "Women always think about how to live. Nowadays, women are still vassals of men, so they live even more difficult. You can also think about it for others a little bit. Even a real man can't be a saint, so why do you want a woman to be a saint?"
Jingniang said, "Why does the government continue to reward Fude?"
