Chapter 410

The hall gate is wide open and the sun shines in.

On the bronze wall behind the emperor, the big dragon had all the scales and claws, with bright light and dazzling eyes that no one could look directly at.

The emperor casually found a place on the steps, sat on it, and asked with a smile: "Did you think of this by my dear?"

Gao Yang was probably mentally prepared and did not think much, and directly replied: "No, so that your Majesty knew that this was completed by a friend of mys and I participated in the planning with me. It took almost a month before the detailed rules were finalized."

"Hmm...Su Wei?"

The emperor nodded calmly.

Gao Yang's expression suddenly shook. His Majesty obviously knew everything he shouldn't know. At this time, he wanted to hide it from some side branches and the last quarters, which was very unwise, so he simply admitted:

"Yes, Su Wuwei was my old friend in Chang'an. When the Zhou lord Yuwen Yong fled into Shu with the prince, Su Wei did not follow me. He came to join me two months ago, hoping to find a future."

He paused, and then added, "This Su Wei is very sensible and talented. I often talk to him and feel that I have made great progress."

This is to recommend friends in disguise.

Although Su Wei was indeed talented, he was an opposition man. Logically speaking, Gao Yang was very unruly in order to find this person to participate in the government affairs. On the one hand, he seemed a little frivolous and reckless, and on the other hand, he did not know the emperor's view on this matter.

So I was a little cautious when I proposed it.

I just hope that it would not affect his important matters, Gao Yang was a little worried.

The emperor had no look of anger on his face, and he nodded in a clear way when he heard this. He had already checked these things before he came, which was basically consistent with Gao Yang's words. It seems that at least, Gao Yang did not intend to hide them from him in this matter.

That's good.

Gao Wei remembers Su Wei. Su Chuo's son, famous prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and Gao Yang were a perfect pair of partners. His reputation was comparable to that of later Fang and Du, in terms of talents and abilities, and everything was the best in the world.

Gao Wei had thought about recruiting this person in the first few years, but he was far away in Zhou State and was Yuwen Hu's son-in-law, so he was hard to do it. When he invaded Chang'an, there were a lot of troubles, so he gradually forgot about him.

This cannot be blamed entirely on Gao Wei. If you want to blame, you can only blame Su Wei for being too low-key and being too cautious in his character. He decided not to make a comeback until the overall situation is settled, which led to Gao Wei not paying attention to him at all.

But this person is undoubtedly very politically sensitive and capable, which can be seen from his life experience:

Su Wei was born in a famous family and had a precocious personality. At that time, Otsuka Yuwen Hu was very concerned about him and wanted to marry his daughter to him. Su Wei had long felt that Yuwen Hu was domineering and thought that he could not last long. Although he could not refuse, he always kept a distance from Yuwen Hu, for fear that one day he would implicate him, so in order to avoid becoming an official, he even ran to the mountains... Although he did not succeed later, he finally expressed his attitude.

Later, as he expected, after Yuwen Yong came to power, he purged Yuwen Hu's followers, and actually made Su Wei a miserable. He just demoted his official position and title again and again, and demoted him to a doctor under the sage, but Su Wei still refused to accept it...

This is worth pondering. If Su Wei just survives to save his life, Yuwen Yong will throw a bone over and he should have rushed over and bitten it, but he refused to accept it, which shows that this person is still a bit arrogant.

The most important point is that Su Wei, like Gao Yang, is a typical reformist (strictly speaking, he is a conservative among the reformists, but he is generally inclined to reform), and he advocates reducing taxes and revising the code.

The early Sui Dynasty was clear and the society was stable, which was inseparable from the efforts of these two prime ministers. Coincidentally, Gao Wei was having a headache and no one was available, so Su Wei came here by himself. Su Wei was obviously just a fake hermit, not a real hermit. Since he could ask for his background, he would be able to go up to Gao Wei's door, and Gao Wei wanted to directly recruit him, he would probably not refuse.

Thinking of this, Gao Wei was in a good mood immediately and said with a smile: "In this way, Su Wei's talent is comparable to his beloved? If such a talent cannot be used by the court, it would be a pity. You have such a good teacher and friend, why not introduce it to me early? Look, if I want to recruit him now and let him become an official, would he be willing?"

Your Majesty was probably really happy, and his behavior and tone suddenly became much more intimate. Gao Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "I have written a letter to ask him to come in the past, but Su Wei is the son-in-law of Yuwen Hu. His identity is too sensitive, and his family is held in the hands of Zhou State, so he has many concerns. As soon as Zhou State was defeated, he came alone. It is obvious that he admired the country and was willing to drive his Majesty and work hard for his Majesty."

"This is not necessary. What I want is a talent for the country, not a dog or a horse. As long as it can be used as a big shot, it doesn't matter at all." Gao Wei smiled and pointed at Gao Feng, "Just like you, I have never abandoned you because of your sensitive background? The world is so big, everyone follows the king, so why should we distinguish between Guanzhong and Hebei?"

Gao Yong remembered that his Majesty had taken care of him for several years in the officialdom, and he was grateful and inexplicably grateful. The idea of ​​"a scholar died for his confidant" suddenly rose in his heart. His eyes turned red, and he reached out to wipe away the tears that had fallen down, and said passionately: "I know that my talents are mediocre, but Your Majesty does not dislike me despicable. He recommended me to the point of being so grateful. I was so grateful that I could repay. The only thing I could do was to be loyal!"

"If my dear talent is mediocre, who can be used in the court?" Gao Wei also comforted him. At the time of harmony between the king and the minister, Gao Wei suddenly had an idea in his heart and asked suddenly:

"Before the Prime Minister of the Zuo resigned, he submitted a letter to me to appease the Guanlong family to show his kindness. I thought about it and felt that I had to make a breakthrough from the surrendered officials of the puppet Zhou, such as Wei Xiaokuan... What do you think?"

Gao Ying realized that this was a sudden temptation by the emperor, and his mind suddenly became active, almost responding under instinct:

"I think it is appropriate for the ancestors to worry about. Although Wei Xiaokuan is not at the position of Zhou State, he has a high prestige. He is also a native of Guanlong and is one of the representative figures of the aristocratic family who has participated in Yuwen Tai. If Your Majesty can treat this person well and gradually win over, the aristocratic family of Guanlong will definitely return to his heart!"

The emperor looked like a smile, Gao Ying's words changed: "However, he has been in Yubi for many years, and in the eyes of many ministers in our dynasty, he is still a mortal enemy. Not to mention that he surrendered ministers, his value suddenly increased in our dynasty. I wonder how many people will feel dissatisfied, even the father-in-law Huluguang is unreasonable...

"So, I think I can give him good treatment and courtesy, but I must not use it more. Besides, the court wants to recruit the rich families in Guanzhong, and what I have to show is only a sincere attitude. The court is sincere in seeking talents, and where is the attitude left? The rest should be for them to come to find His Majesty."

This is Gao Feng's attitude and also Gao Feng's position. The emperor nodded slightly and expressed satisfaction. The war between Northern Qi and Northern Zhou was not only a grudge between the two families, but also a struggle between the two major political groups dominated by Hebei, Guanlong and Hedong tycoons.

According to the inherent rules, the winning interest groups always trampled on the flesh and blood of the failed party. He allowed the Guanlong family to enter the court to get a share of the pie, which has attracted some people's complaints.

Gao Wei just wanted to differentiate the power of the court, not to offend Hebei and go to Guanzhong. The military power of the Guanlong nobles was strong, and they had to pull and fight, which was the primary goal of the emperor's division and suppression...

Fortunately, Gao Ying knew what to do and knew where to sit on her butt.

Gao Wei was naturally satisfied. Not only because Gao Wei was capable, but also because Gao Wei and the Guanlong family had many interests. Let Gao Wei, who was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, be this evil person, be like the "cleaning" action between the various wealthy families in Guanzhong. Even if there are repeated in the future, Gao Wei will not be responsible for the blame.

As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone!

Gao Wei nodded, and after a few words of satisfaction, he asked Gao Yang to retreat, and gave him a lot of money. Four beautiful maids sent Xiaohuangmen out of the palace gate, serving with great diligence all the way... Even Duan Shao, Huluguang rarely treated this way. Gao Yang was so nervous that he was sweating behind his back. When he left the door, he suddenly felt that the world was open and his spirit was refreshed.

He knew that this crucial level had been passed!
