After listening to Pei Ju's narration, Yang Gao immediately reacted: "What the boss means is to use the alienation strategy to divide and disintegrate Temujin and Wanyan Aguda, and build new tribes to compete with them, so that they will be exhausted. Internal conflict?"
"That's what I mean."
Pei Ju nodded slightly: "The Jurchen tribe of Wanyan Aguda is a branch of Heishui Mohe, and their internal veterans are not very familiar with them. But Temujin's internal situation is well known to them."
"Temujin used force to unify the Eastern Turks. On the surface, he looked powerful, but in fact there were many hidden dangers internally. In addition, Temujin had used troops many times over the years to achieve little results, especially when he assembled six months ago. Two hundred thousand troops marched south, but were blocked at Yanmen Pass. They fought hard for nearly a month and lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Many tribes are already extremely dissatisfied with him!"
"I learned through several old friends in Turks that Temujin has a general named Yelu Abaoji. This man is also an ambitious man. In recent years, he has secretly attracted many tribes who are dissatisfied with Temujin. , in the opinion of the veteran, this person will be the best candidate for His Majesty’s plan to divorce.”
"The founding emperors of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Jin Dynasties have already emerged and showed their sharpness, and the remaining Liao Taizu is indeed restless!"
Yang Gao secretly mocked in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Although Temujin is a foreigner, I have to admit that this person is a rare hero. Even the most outstanding Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun cannot be compared with him. . Yelu Abaoji is able to hide his little tricks from his hands, so he must be a very special person. Based on the current situation, as long as his brain is not broken, he will never create a rebellion against Temujin at this time. "
Pei Ju smiled slightly and said, "I have a plan that may be able to force Nayelu Abaoji to rebel."
Yang Gao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked: "Sir, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."
Pei Ju curled his lips and said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Jin Yi Guards captured a woman named Xiao Yanyan when they escorted Princess Yicheng south."
Yang Gao nodded: "Yes, I heard that she is Yelu Abaoji's cousin."
Speaking of this, Yang Gao suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Is it possible that Mr. Boss——"
Pei Ju smiled and nodded: "The key to my plan lies in this girl. Your Majesty can tell the world and marry Xiao Yanyan as your concubine. At the same time, you can confer Yelu Abaoji as a Turkic Khan to guard the border for the Sui Dynasty."
Yu Wen Chengdu, who was standing next to Yang Gao, frowned slightly and said with some suspicion: "Sir, is this too obvious? Temujin is not a fool. If you do it too deliberately, he might see it? "
Pei Ju stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "It's useless even if he sees it, because the most critical point here is that Yelu Abaoji does have his own intentions, but he is acting cautiously and carefully and has not been discovered yet. His Majesty's edict As soon as it comes out, even if Temujin thinks this is our divorce plan, he will start to pay attention to Yelu Abaoji. As long as Temujin notices Yelu Abaoji, then sooner or later the activities Yelu Abaoji does secretly will no longer be concealed. Yelu Abaoji can’t resist even if he wants to!”
Yang Gao perked up after hearing the words, clasped his hands and laughed and said: "Mr. Pei can make Temujin very busy with just one edict from me. After all, you are an important minister of the country. It is really humiliating for you to stay in the house for your retirement." !”
Pei Ju was overjoyed when he heard this. Yang Gao was planning to return him to the court. He immediately stood up from his seat, knelt on the ground, bowed his hands and said, "It is an honor for me to share your Majesty's worries!"
Yang Gao nodded slightly and said loudly: "Pei Aiqing has made great contributions to his suggestions. I have decided to appoint you as Sikong and lead the sect. I hope that in the future you can continue to share my worries like you do today."
Pei Ju quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "Old minister, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness. Even though I'm a mess, I can't repay your majesty!"
. . . . . . . . . .
After coming out of Pei Ju's mansion, Yang Gao did not return to the palace, but rushed to the Jinyiwei headquarters.
The Jinyiwei headquarters is located in Prince Zhao's Mansion, Yang Gao's former residence. After Yang Gao ascended the throne, the Zhao Palace became empty. According to regulations, once the palace was empty, it would be taken back by the court and then given to the new princes and ministers. But Prince Zhao's Mansion was Yang Gao's former residence, and no official would dare to zone it out casually. Until the establishment of Jinyiwei a few years ago, Yang Gao found that Prince Zhao's Mansion was still empty, so he renovated the place and gave it to Jinyiwei as its headquarters.
Although this move aroused fierce opposition from some pedantic veterans, Yang Gao, who had always disliked feudal ethics, ignored these objections and handled the matter with a strong attitude.
Hundreds of guards escorted Yang Gao's Luan Jia to the direction of the Jinyiwei headquarters. They were always cautious along the way. On the one hand, they were afraid that assassins would appear, and on the other hand, they were worried that their too much movement would affect the people in the neighborhood.
Yu Wen Chengdu rode his red charcoal fire dragon horse and walked beside Yang Gaoluan. After walking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I really don't understand why you want to re-enable Pei Ju? His Majesty personally dismissed him in the first place. If you kill him, even if he has made a contribution today, your majesty can reward him with more gold, silver and silk, so why should you let him become prime minister again?"
"Does the Pei family want the little gold, silver, and silk that I rewarded him with?"
Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I promoted him and let him return to the position this time was not entirely because of his meritorious service. In fact, I had the idea of re-enabling him since Liu Bowen recommended him."
Yuwen Chengdu still shook his head in confusion: "Why is this?"
Yang Gao curled his lips slightly and said calmly: "Chengdu, do you know who the prime minister is in the court now?"
"Lord Su Wei, Lord Yu Yunwen, Lord Cen Wenwen, Lord Wang Anshi, and Lord Zhang Juzheng."
Yu Wen Chengdu frowned and said, "What does this have to do with His Majesty's promotion of Pei Ju?"
"Except for Su Wei, these prime ministers are all too young. I need an old and prudent minister like Pei Ju to sit in the court."
Yang Gao shook his head helplessly. Although these prime ministers were all famous in history, they were too young now, especially Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng. They were too radical in handling things.
Although Su Wei is old, after decades of ups and downs in officialdom, he has developed a good-natured character and will basically not raise any objections. Moreover, Su Wei is nearly ninety years old and may not live for a few more years.
So after many weighings, Yang Gao finally decided to re-enable Pei Ju.
