Monument Yangmen

Chapter 364 The Loyal and Traitorous Gao Huaide

No matter how Yang Ye heard it, he felt something was wrong.

The broad beans that Shi Shouxin was referring to were probably referring to something else.

What exactly Shi Shouxin was referring to, Yang Ye had no idea.

Yang Ye thought about it, he had to discuss this matter with Yang Yansi when he went back.

My son is grown up and has his own business, so he can no longer be treated like a child.

For many things, I am afraid that he has to decide in person.

"Yang Ye already knew what the Duke of Wei asked. After returning, Yang Ye will help convey it."

"This……"

Shi Shouxin hesitated and said: "General Yang is the head of the family. You can also be part of the family of the seventh son of your mansion, right? The old man doesn't ask much, just two broad beans.

As long as General Yang goes back, he will tell the seventh son of your mansion about this matter, and say that you agreed to let him give the old man two broad beans.

I believe that the seventh son of your mansion will not disobey your will. "

"Hehehe..."

Yang Ye chuckled, thinking secretly.

You, a Duke of the State of Wei, don't hesitate to beg for help. I'm afraid that the word 'broad beans' refers to something unusual.

If I agreed hastily, wouldn't it be even worse if something happened in the future and our father and son were at odds.

Yang Ye pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "After Yang Ye returns home, he will definitely convey the message to Duke Wei..."

Next, no matter how Shi Shouxin fooled him, Yang Ye responded with these words.

After a long time, Shi Shouxin also knew that he couldn't tear a hole from Yang Ye, so he could only leave in a depressed mood.

After he left, Yang Ye was instantly surrounded by other people.

These people are all nobles in the court.

They also saw that Cao Bin and Shi Shouxin, two military leaders, had an unusual attitude towards Yang Ye, so they came here to make acquaintances.

There are only so many twists and turns between the nobles.

Whoever plays well, everyone fawns on him.

If anyone is not doing well, then everyone will step on him together.

Seeing that Yang Ye was surrounded by a group of people to curry favor, Pan Renmei held the jug and moved to Gao Huaide's side with great taste.

Gao Huaide is getting old now, and the old injuries on his body have recurred recently, so he basically doesn't bother to move.

He just rolled up his sleeves and slumped lazily on his own seat, being served by his elder son and drinking by himself.

Pan Renmei walked to Gao Huaide's seat, and ordered Gong'e, who was waiting on the side, to move his seat to Gao Huaide's side as well.

"Brother Gao, the Yang family is different now! The upstarts in the court, everyone is trying to curry favor, why don't you join in the fun?"

Gao Huaide lazily drank a glass of wine, turned around and glanced at him, and said indifferently: "The Yang family's upstart is true, but if I let the old man curry favor with him, you think too highly of him."

Pan Renmei smiled and poured a glass of wine for Gao Huaide, "Brother Gao said it was right. My brother just saw Yang Ye's face like a villain, and felt unhappy."

Gao Huaide flicked his sleeves, sat up, approached Pan Renmei, and whispered: "What do you want?"

Pan Renmei lowered her voice, and said, "My brother has something to pay attention to. It can suppress his spirit and let him have a longer memory."

Gao Huaide said with a smile: "Why are you suppressing hair?"

Pan Renmei looked confident, and said with a sly smile: "Yang Jia Dalang, isn't he working under your command, I heard that his errand of suppressing bandits has almost been completed.

If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. When the time comes, I will mention it to him, and then send him to the west. The west is not peaceful recently. "

"West?"

Gao Huaide was stunned for a moment, then smiled, pointed at Pan Renmei and said, "You, you, your Pan family's business road is in the west, and you want to use the hands of the Yang family to open up business roads for your family."

Pan Renmei said in a deep voice: "The barbarians in the west continue to rebel, and the newly voted Lord of Tatars sent people to our Song Dynasty to ask for help. Your Majesty is having a headache because of this matter. We just took this opportunity to send the Yang family Dalang out .

You also know that going to the west to help the Lord of the Tartars is a thankless task.There is no reward for winning, and punishment for losing.

However, it is good for us.

If the master of the Yang family wins the battle, our Pan family will be able to open up business in the Western Regions.At that time, the money will roll in.If we lose, we can also use this to weaken the strength of the Yang family. "

Gao Huaide pondered: "I don't care if you want to deal with the Yang family. It's just that you transfer people to the Western Regions. Whether you win or lose, it's your Pan family who will benefit. It's no good for the old man. Why did the old man help you?"

"North..."

Pan Renmei pointed to the north, and said in a low voice: "In order to resist the Liao Kingdom, your Majesty has transferred half of our Song Dynasty's troops to the north. The largest number of forces in the north is four. Our Pan family, your Gao family, and Yang's family home and folding home.

Zhejia is the master who listens to the tune but not the announcement, and has more power than the vassal king.

However, the Zhe family has always stayed in Fuzhou and did not interfere with the military affairs of our three families.

As long as we don't provoke them, they won't provoke us.

What my younger brother means is that you and my two families join forces to swallow up members of the Yang family in the north.At that time, your Gao family will take the big head, and our Pan family will take the small head. "

Gao Huaide frowned and said: "The foundation of the Yang family is in the north. If you swallow the members of the Yang family in the north, it is tantamount to destroying the foundation of the Yang family. At that time, the Yang family will have no way to gain a foothold in the court. You are trying to let The Yang family will be expelled from Song Dynasty."

Pan Renmei said viciously: "Brother Gao, the Yang family is really deceiving people too much. The Yang family's son set up to frame my Bao'er, and then bullied and insulted me. The son lost his official position, and I was not only sent to prison The Grand Master is honored, but he still can't hold his head up in the hall.

If the younger brother can't let out such a bad breath, he will be unhappy. "

Pan Renmei pleaded: "Brother, please help me..."

Gao Huaide thought for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "Tell me about the plan you have arranged in the north, and I will figure it out. There is a chance of winning."

Pan Renmei was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said, "I've been planning this matter for two years. The Yang family is in the north, and there are two branches of the pro-army Huoshan Army and the Xiang Army Datong Army.

Most of the personnel in the Volcanic Army of the Yang family's pro-army are veterans who have followed Yang Ye for many years, so they are not easy to buy.However, I still found a way to buy two important figures in it.

In comparison, the men and horses in the Datong Army are much easier to buy.

Yang Ye only paid attention to his own Volcanic Army, and the Datong Army only regarded it as a subsidiary.

In the Datong Army, many ambitious people were denied promotion and opportunities to make a fortune.

Therefore, it is very easy to buy.

At present, half of the men in the Datong Army have been bought by me.

With just a word from me, they can turn back and do anything for me. "

Gao Huaide narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and whispered in Pan Renmei's ear, "Including... Fantian?"

Pan Renmei nodded heavily.

Gao Huaide said with all his thoughts: "This is not enough."

Pan Renmei gritted her teeth, and continued: "I also contacted a party member, and... Brother Yeluxiu from the Liao Kingdom..."

"hiss……"

Gao Huaide stared and said in disbelief: "You are trying to put the Yang family to death!"

Pan Renmei sneered and said, "No poison, no husband..."

Gao Huaide's eyes flickered, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

Secretly contacting the Liao Kingdom, especially the Liao Kingdom's King of the North Court, Marshal Yeluxiu, is a capital offense.

What's more, Liao Kingdom and framed the generals of the Song Dynasty. Once discovered, not only will the nine clans be killed, but they will also be called sinners through the ages, nailed to the pillar of shame, and left with a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Gao Huaide felt that the price was a bit high, and he wanted to back down...

"Sixty thousand!"

Pan Renmei saw that Gao Huaide was about to retire, and immediately offered enough benefits.

"Sixty thousand?"

Gao Huaide looked at Pan Renmei in surprise.

The Yang family is in the north, and the soldiers and horses directly under him are only 8.

Sixty thousand, that's three quarters.

Take the number of soldiers and horses of the Gao family in the north, plus the [-].

The Gao family definitely has the power to crack the earth and seal the king in the north.

Even if he doesn't quarrel with the imperial court, and doesn't split the earth to seal the king, he can become an emperor who listens to the tune and doesn't listen to the announcement, just like Zhejia.

The temptation is too great.

Gao Huaide wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"

Pan Renmei wanted to continue talking, but when she saw someone approaching, she hurriedly said, "We'll discuss the details later, someone is here."

Seeing the person coming, Gao Huaide and Pan Renmei stood up and cupped their hands casually.

"I have seen the Third Highness."

The third prince helped Gao Huaide and Pan Renmei up with a smile, "You two uncles don't need to be polite."

Gao Huaide sat down calmly.

Pan Renmei didn't dare to take it too seriously.

The third prince found a free place to sit between Gao and Pan, and Pan Renmei sat down next to each other.

Gao Huaide was very casual in front of the third prince, but Pan Renmei was very reserved in front of the third prince.

The third prince said with a smile: "The two uncles don't need to be too polite in front of my nephew. Although my nephew is a prince, my nephew is always a junior in front of the two uncles."

"Um……"

Gao Huaide raised his nose and responded casually.

Pan Renmei licked her face and said with a smile: "The Third Highness is noble, and we are all the servants of the Third Highness. In front of the Third Highness, Pan Hong dare not trust her."

Pan Renmei's real name is Pan Hong, and Renmei is his surname.

Gao Huaide and Pan Renmei behave differently in front of the third prince, which is also a symbol of status.

Gao Huaide's status in the Song Dynasty was second only to Emperor Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi is Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, but Gao Huaide is Zhao Kuangyin's righteous brother.

From the point of view of the ten brothers of Yishe, Zhao Guangyi had to call Gao Huaide a righteous brother in private.

Moreover, Gao Huaide is also Zhao Guangyi's brother-in-law.

Gao Huaide's wife is Zhao Kuangyin's younger sister, Zhao Guangyi's older sister, and Princess Yan.

However, the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom died early, and Gao Huaide's status as the captain's consort was revoked.

Otherwise, when the third prince saw Gao Huaide, he had to salute first and call him uncle.

Regardless of kinship, Gao Huaide's status in Song Dynasty is still very high.

Almost all the battles in Song Dynasty were participated by Gao Huaide.

The Gao family also had a detached status in Song Dynasty.

Rather than saying that Zhao Guangyi and Gao Huaide are in a superior-subordinate relationship, it is better to say that Gao Huaide and Zhao Guangyi are in a cooperative relationship.

Only the shares are different, so one is the boss and the other is the shareholder.

Therefore, the third prince could not put on airs or show off his identity in front of Gao Huaide.

If Gao Huaide respects him, call him Third Highness.

If you don't respect him, then don't bother to talk to him.

Even if the third prince can inherit the throne in the future, Gao Huaide doesn't need to curry favor with him.

In turn, the third prince had to curry favor with others.

Because if Gao Huaide did not support him, he might not be able to sit on the throne.

Even if he sat on the throne in the future, without Gao Huaide's support, he would be unable to move forward.

It was precisely because of this that even if Gao Huaide didn't respect him, he didn't dare to complain.

Let's talk about Pan Renmei, compared with Gao Huaide, he seems to be a Duke of the State, with the same title, but his background is not as good as others.

So in front of the third prince, he appeared a little humble.

"Uncle Pan is really flattering my nephew."

The third prince was polite to Pan Renmei, then turned his head and asked Gao Huaide with concern, "I heard that Uncle Gao is not feeling well recently. There is a doctor with excellent medical skills in my nephew's house, and there are some high-quality medicinal materials. After going back in a while, my nephew sent Someone will send it to you."

Gao Huaide waved his hand, "No need."

Gao Huaide's attitude towards the third prince was neither close nor distant, just flat.

The third prince touched a soft nail, and felt unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show any displeasure on his face.

The third prince drank with Gao Huaide and Pan Renmei.

After drinking for a few rounds, he said intentionally or unintentionally, "My nephew has recently heard that Tang Long County Lord intends to support the Eight Wise King to succeed him as the crown prince. What do you two uncles think?"

"Oh?"

Pan Renmei looked surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Gao Huaide gave the third prince a cold look, and said in a deep voice, "Who did you listen to?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "My nephew didn't even ask about his name, he just heard it mentioned casually."

"Hmph!" Gao Huaide snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty has his own arrangements for who to be the crown prince, and it's not up to a group of villains to argue wildly. Besides, even if the Duke of Tanglong supports the Eight Wise Kings to succeed him as the crown prince how?
The first emperor passed on the throne to His Majesty, from brother to brother.Why can't your majesty pass the throne to the eight sage kings, and pass it on to his nephew through his uncle?

Since you are the prince of my Great Song Dynasty, you should be your prince well, and don't listen to people talking about what you have and what you don't get. "

The third prince almost lost his temper after being taught a lesson by Gao Huaide, but he put on a taught face.

"What the uncle taught is that the nephew has been taught."

Annoyed, Gao Huaide gave the eviction order: "Go back to your seat."

The third prince was driven away like this, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye, "The little nephew will go back first."

The third prince left in disgrace.

Pan Renmei complained to Gao Huaide, "Brother Gao, what are you doing? If what the third prince said is true, this is an opportunity."

Gao Huaide gave Pan Renmei a cold look, "Suppressing Yang Ye is the way to suppress Yang Ye, but don't bring Zhao Defang into it. The late emperor treated you and me well back then, and you have to behave with a conscience.

Besides, you and I know how His Majesty's throne came about.

In the battle for the heir apparent, if His Majesty returned the power to Zhao Defang.It's also something I'd love to see.

What's more, he was ashamed of the late emperor for not being able to keep Dezhao's child back then.If you can't keep Defang's baby, how can you and I have the face to meet the late emperor after a hundred years? "

Pan Renmei said with guilt on her face: "Brother Gao taught me a lesson."

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

He is ruthless to the Yang family, if there is a way to punish the Yang family, then he will spare no effort.

Although he has already set up a set for the Yang family, he is also willing to charge a little interest in advance.
