Gao Yuanshi asked Ning Shehai politely and said: "General, Your Majesty asked me to check on the matter about the Protector. I hope the General can take care of you..."
Ning Shehai glanced at Gao Yuanshi and ignored these words.
Gao Yuanshi said: "Some people in the court are talking that the Governor may have done something a little too much. I came to Northern Xinjiang out of necessity. Your Majesty wants to know what is going on with the newly acquired thirteen states in Northern Xinjiang.
I must try my best to get things done well, and if I want to do it well, I cannot do without your care, General."
When Gao Yuanshi said this, seeing Ning Shehai still ignoring him, he smiled awkwardly.
He changed the subject.
"General, have you mentioned to the General that your father and I were classmates back then?"
Ning Shehai said: "My father didn't mention it."
Gao Yuanshi said: "When we were in Geling City, I had the best relationship with Brother Futai. We always had endless things to talk about. We didn't have much fun talking during the day, and we had to talk for a long time at night. If we were not careful, we would end up chatting.
At dawn."
Ning Shehai hummed, and then said a few perfunctory polite words.
Gao Yuanshi saw that he was talking more than before, so he continued to get closer.
"Brother Futai later moved away from Geling, and I was still sad for a long time. Later, due to unexpected events, we lost contact with him, and I felt even more reluctant to let him go."
He said with emotion: "Although Brother Futai failed to stay in Geling as an official, he still made achievements in the local area. After hearing the news, I was particularly happy for him."
"Especially, Brother Futai has trained two generals, which is even more enviable and admirable."
He paused and his tone became gentler.
"Actually, His Majesty is not that angry about the matter of the Thirteen Prefectures in Northern Xinjiang. How can His Majesty be unhappy when Dayu gets the territory of the Thirteen Prefectures?"
"Your Majesty is unhappy because Lin Ye made his own decisions without asking for orders or reporting. If everyone acted like Lin Ye, wouldn't all the rules be messed up?"
Ning Shehai looked at Gao Yuanshi, thinking that this man was really an old fox.
Before Lin Ye left, Gao Yuanshi was so sincere and said that he had great respect for Lin Ye.
At this time, Lin Ye had returned to Yunzhou, and he couldn't wait to jump out, trying to prove Lin Ye's crime.
"Master Gao, if you want to investigate the case, just tell me what you need me to do, and I will arrange for someone to coordinate with you. I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with here. If there is nothing important, Master Gao, I will not accompany you."
As he spoke, Ning Shehai stood up.
Gao Yuanshi said quickly: "General, please stay. Since the General is honest with you, I won't beat around the bush."
He put on a smile.
"I also told the General just now that your Majesty is my classmate and a close friend, so if the General can be valued by Your Majesty, I will be honored."
"If Lin Ye really made any unforgivable mistakes, General, you should not just temporarily take over the military power in Northern Xinjiang."
"Since the Sanbei Protectorate has been established, it will not be abolished easily. If Lin Ye is investigated and prosecuted, who else can be more suitable for the vacant seat than the general?"
Gao Yuanshi became serious and said with a solemn face: "I still have some friends in Geling who are willing to do their best for the general."
Ning Shehai's expression seemed to change slightly, but he did not answer his words.
Gao Yuanshi was such an old fox. He could see at a glance that Ning Shehai's eyes were already loose.
"I know what the general is worried about."
Gao Yuanshi said step by step: "The general feels that if Lin Ye's charges are really proven, it may have an impact on everyone in our family's campaign to conquer the north." "Your Majesty just wants to treat Lin Ye a little bit.
Punishment is not about being dissatisfied with the generals. Lin Ye is the guardian, and the general and other generals have to obey his orders. This is one of them."
"Secondly, if he really has any disloyal intentions, or...has actually planned to commit rebellion, then the general should report it to His Majesty in a timely manner. Not only is this nothing wrong, but it is also a great achievement."
When Gao Yuanshi said this, he looked into Ning Shehai's eyes and said, "Your father and I are close friends, so naturally we will not harm the general."
Ning Shehai said: "I don't know these things you are talking about. If you want to check, you can do it yourself. I have nothing to tell you."
Gao Yuanshi listened to Ning Shehai's words. Although his words were firm, his tone was not so firm.
It was not that he was unprepared when he came. Since the Emperor asked him to come to Northern Xinjiang, if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to make things worse, wouldn't he have suffered this trip in vain?
This trip made him realize what it means to be physically and mentally exhausted, especially after leaving quarantine, it became more and more difficult day by day.
"General."
Gao Yuanshi picked up a box he brought again and placed it in front of Ning Shehai.
He opened the box, and on the first layer was a key, which looked ordinary.
Gao Yuanshi picked up the key and handed it to Ning Shehai with both hands: "This is the key to a storage room in the Geling Pass. Everything in this storage room is prepared for the general."
Ning Shehai's expression suddenly changed: "Are you trying to harm me?!"
Gao Yuanshi said: "The general has misunderstood. These are all for Brother Futai, not the general."
"Although I have lost contact with Brother Futai, I have been inquiring about him. I know that when Brother Futai was an official on earth, he was an honest, fair and strict official."
He said with a distressed look on his face: "I also heard that when the general was young, the clothes he wore to study were all patched."
"If I remember correctly, Brother Futai likes to drink tea the most, but he lives in a poor place and doesn't dare to buy even slightly better tea."
"Now Brother Futai has retired with great success, and as far as I know, the salaries of the two generals were all distributed to their subordinates, and there is no balance left."
"My brother Futai worked so hard to train two generals. Now he lives alone at home, and life is still so difficult. It's really heartbreaking."
Gao Yuanshi said: "It doesn't matter if the general doesn't take the key. As long as the general nods, someone will naturally send the entire storage house to his home safely and secretly."
"Brother Futai found a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, built a garden, and lived a leisurely and contented life, with no worries about food and clothing. The two generals could rest assured and fight for the country more down-to-earth."
It has to be said that ordinary people simply cannot resist such a temptation. Ning Shehai has not let go until now, and his determination is very unparalleled.
Seeing the slight hesitation on Ning Shehai's face, Gao Yuanshi knew it was time to work harder.
He opened the second layer of the box: "This... I hope the general will take a look at it."
Ning Shehai glanced at it, but did not reach out to get it.
Gao Yuanshi said with a smile: "I'm here, the general just listen to what I say. If the general doesn't want to be contaminated by such tacky things, he doesn't have to see it himself."
He took out the thing and unfolded it: "This is a land deed from Enli County in southern Xinjiang."
"This Enli County is located in a remote area. It can't be said to be very good. The location on the land deed is a mountain, let alone prosperous and beautiful."
"But the good thing is that there are hundreds of ancient tea trees in this mountain and hundreds of acres of tea gardens..."
Speaking of this, he looked into Ning Shehai's eyes: "Brother Futai is very pure and likes to be close to nature. Enli County is the most suitable place."
"The governor of Enli County is my disciple. The place is vast and sparsely populated, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. He said it was prepared for me so that I could have a good place to go after I retire in old age."
"My name is on the land deed, and there is also a handwritten letter written by me, which is addressed to my protégé."
"I will tell him that Brother Futai will come to live in my garden for as long as he wants. He is my best friend and I hope he will take good care of him."
"so......"
Speaking of this, he looked at Ning Shehai, the meaning in his eyes was, General, what else do you have to worry about?
Your father's name is not on the land deed. If anything happens in the future, it won't affect him. It's just that I, Gao Yuanshi, lent it to him to live in.
As for the ownership of this land in the future, that is not a matter of words.
The chief officer of Enli County is a disciple of Gao Yuanshi, and he is definitely from their faction.
Therefore, they will naturally protect this kind of thing very well, so as not to involve themselves in it.
Seeing the hesitation on Ning Shehai's face, Gao Yuanshi took a deep breath and continued to persuade.
"General, in fact, you don't need to think of any reasons. General, you only need to leave your name in the files I investigated, and you will be considered helpful."
"As long as Lin Ye falls, I, my friends in the court, and many forces beyond the imagination of the general will do their best to prevent the position of Protector of the Three Norths from falling into the hands of others.
"
Gao Yuanshi stood up, took two steps back and then bowed down.
"I have no selfish motives for doing this. It's all for Your Majesty and Dayu."
"If Lin Ye lives in the northern border for a long time and holds a heavy army, he will be a disaster sooner or later. This person has a close relationship with the traitor Tuoba Lie. No one can guarantee that he will not be the next Tuoba Lie."
"General, please think about Your Majesty, please think about all the people in the world, and please think about Dayu for eternity."
After saying this, Gao Yuanshi leaned down and bowed again.
He knew that everything that needed to be said had been said and the meaning had been reached. If Ning Shehai still refused to agree, then he would have no choice for the time being.
Attacking their weak points is what they are best at.
Ning Shehai's father did live a poor life, and there were not many people around him to take care of him. He and Ning Haitang were away leading troops all year round, and they could not take care of their father. This was his weakness.
"General."
Gao Yuanshi waited for a while but didn't see Ning Shehai speaking, so he leaned over and said a few more words.
"I did make a mistake just now. I said something in the hope that the general would leave his name on my memorial to His Majesty. I didn't think carefully."
He tentatively asked: "The general only needs to say in the memorial that Lin Ye's decision was indeed made without consulting the generals and was all his own. Is this good?"
Ning Shehai said: "He is the General Protector of the Three Norths. There is no need to discuss anything with us."
"That'll be easy."
Gao Yuanshi said: "Thank you so much, General!"
Ning Shehai: "I didn't promise you anything."
Gao Yuanshi said: "If you have the general's words, even if you have helped me, I will leave now. When there is a chance in the future, I will have a drink with Brother Futai."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ning Shehai said: "Take your things away."
Gao Yuanshi did not respond, but turned around and bowed to Ning Shehai, and then left directly.
Ning Shehai looked at these things in front of him, his expression changing constantly.
There are really not many things in this small box, it's just a key and a land deed.
However, it is these two things that can drive people all over the world crazy. This chapter has been completed!
