Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 106 Hou Mo Chen Yue

Chapter 106 Hou Mo Chen Yue
The banquet was in full swing, Gao Cheng didn't drink his special wine, so he stopped playing tricks in front of his family.

During the period, Gao Cheng held up a toast to the elders, but Lou Zhaojun felt sorry for him and forbade him to drink any more, so he gave up, and the whole family enjoyed themselves happily.

After the dinner, the night was already dark, Gao Cheng was still reeking of alcohol, and went to look for Chen Yuankang.

"Chang You! Open the door! It's me, Gao Cheng!"

Gao Cheng slammed on the door of Chen Yuankang's house and shouted.

Usually at this time Chen Yuankang went to bed early, but today when he returned home, he was fully dressed and sat in the yard waiting.

The sun in the sky has already set, but the sun in Luoyang will definitely find him.

Hearing Gao Cheng's voice, Chen Yuankang excitedly drove the slaves away, and went to open the gate himself.

Chen Yuankang sniffed the smell of alcohol on his face, and said doubtfully:
"My lord, you are."

"Let Chang You wait for a long time. The father held a family banquet. Cheng can't get away. He can only meet you after the banquet."

Gao Cheng hiccupped and explained.

"The son is drunk and unwell, so why bother to come to see the servant, I will see you tomorrow when the servant sees the son off."

Chen Yuankang's shoulders were trembling. Seeing that he was about to cry again, Gao Cheng quickly laughed and said:

"Long time no see, Changyou needs to greet me with a smile."

Only then did Chen Yuankang forcefully laugh.

The moonlight fell on Gao Cheng, and Chen Yuankang clearly saw the scene where the sun and the moon were shining together.

That night, Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang didn't talk about any current affairs at all, they just told each other how they missed each other.

After a long time, Gao Cheng got drunk, unlike Gao Yang, he was really dizzy.

I wanted to stay overnight in Chen's Mansion, but thinking that I would leave tomorrow, I still bid farewell to Chen Yuankang, and returned to Jinyang Bohai Palace with the support of the guards.

When he woke up the next day, his head was still groggy, Gao Cheng still bid farewell to his family according to the schedule, and went back to Luoyang under the escort of his guards.

The candidate for the new confidant governor was finally handed over to Wang Sizheng after Gao Cheng checked it out.

But he still kept an eye out and arranged for a deputy governor to guard his daily life.

Regarding Gao Cheng's precautions, Wang Sizheng comforted himself that if the son can be so cautious, he and Gao Cheng can be kings and ministers for a long time.

And Gao Cheng's promotion sublimated Wang Sizheng's goodwill once again.

He was just a retainer in Yuanxiu's residence, yet he was entrusted by Gao Cheng with the important task of a close confidant and governor. How could he not be grateful for this kindness. .
After leaving the city, Gao Cheng forgot about Jinyang.

In this life, he will take care of Xiao Erzhu. As for whether Gao Chen will be unable to bear the loneliness during his wife's pregnancy, Gao Cheng can't control it.

Before the incident happened, who would have believed that Gao Chen, who had lofty aspirations and a good reputation, would do stupid things.

Gao Cheng hastily reminded at this time that it might be seen as provoking the brotherhood between Gao Huan and Gao Chen.

When he was still marching slowly north of the Yellow River, the messenger he sent had already entered Sima Ziru's mansion.

On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, Simazi counted Gao Huan's contribution to helping the community as above, and please increase Gao Huan's [-] households.

Gao Huan's Bohai King was bestowed by Yuan Gong for [-] households, but now he is suddenly granted [-] households, causing discussions among the ruling and opposition parties.

But whoever makes the army in troubled times is the truth, and Gao Huan just grasped the greatest truth.

Yuan Shanjian granted Sima Ziru's request, and issued a decree to add [-] households to Gaohuan.

Angel set off for Jinyang, and happened to meet Gao Cheng on the way. Gao Cheng learned that Sima Ziru had completed the matter, so he speeded up.

Walking across the river bridge and crossing the Yellow River, Gao Cheng returned to Luoyang again.

Sima Zi is as shown above, everyone knows that Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son ordered it.

But everyone can see clearly that it is one thing, Gao Cheng still has to cover up what Gao Cheng should do, and Sima Zi must be before he enters Luoyang as shown above.

Otherwise, when Gao Cheng came back from Jinyang, Sima Ziru immediately offered to invite Gao Huanshiyi, and it would be a big joke.

Gao Huan met the angel and learned that he wanted to add [-] households to the city, but refused to accept it. Instead, he begged the emperor to distribute the [-] households to the meritorious ministers since Xindu Jianyi.

The angel reported back to Yuan Shanjian, and Yuan Shanjian agreed to Gao Huan's request, and distributed [-] households to Gao Huan's servants.

For a while, all the ministers and dignitaries were grateful, and Gao Huan once again deepened the cohesion of his subordinates.

Among them was He Bayun, who had trouble sleeping and eating. He Bayun was having a hard time these days. His second brother He Basheng intercepted and killed the angel, which was tantamount to plotting chaos.

As Gao Huan's first honorable minister to become a king, he is on the cusp.

Fortunately, Gao Huan thought about his old friendship, and he protected him several times, and now he distributes it to the households. He Bayun even thought of dying for his confidant.

Of course, this was just an appetizer. On the ninth day of August, Gao Cheng wrote a memorial that completely broke the peace of the government and the public.

Taking He Basheng as an example, he lamented the harm of the Xingtai system to the central government, and implored the emperor to abolish all Xingtai and only retain Gao Huan's position as Daxingtai.

Ten-year-old Yuan Shanjian was like a puppet on a string, letting Gao Cheng manipulate him, and issued an imperial edict to agree to the request.

When Hou Jing of Nandao Daxingtai heard the news, he didn't react too violently.

He and Gao Huan are both from Huaishuo, they have been in contact for a long time, and they know each other very well.

Before suddenly taking out the amount of [-] households to distribute to the honored officials, there must be something ulterior motives, Hou Jing was already mentally prepared.

It's just that he didn't expect that he came for the abolition of Xingtai. No matter, he led the troops to guard as the governor of Jingzhou, and he already controlled Jingzhou's military affairs. As for the false name of Nandao Daxingtai, it didn't matter.

Could it be that he could still use the name of Nandao Daxingtai to order Gao Cheng's confidantes Yang Min and Yuan Zigong from East Jingzhou and South Jingzhou.

Hou Jing can accept the loss of false fame and the strength of nine hundred households.

Don't underestimate the 900 households. Each household's tax is two stones of rice grain, two feet of silk, and three taels of cotton. According to the Northern Wei system, half of the king's food, and one third of the public's food. As a duke, Hou Jing can harvest six One hundred stones of rice grain, six hundred feet of silk, and nine hundred taels of cotton.

What's more, Gao Huan also specially distributed the hemp-producing households to Hou Jing, and he could get [-] more pieces of linen.

People, there is always a comparison to know the gains and losses. Gao Huan bestowed honors on the ministers, and did not forget the people in Kansai, but the abolition of Xingtai will suffer the most. He Bayue.

He Bayue was very angry. Some time ago, the east wind that exterminated the Buddha in Kanto was blowing vigorously. Kansai, which was out of order, also heard the wind. Under the banner of the emperor, he slaughtered a fat sheep. The impoverished Kansai regime can be called a night Get rich.

When the mood was right, Gao Huan made such a bad move.

Without the name of Kansai Daxingtai, what name does he use to rule Guanlong.

As time goes by, the subordinates will inevitably have other thoughts.

"You are the governor, and I am the governor, why do you have to listen to your orders. '

It was none other than Hou Mo Chenyue, the governor of Qinzhou, Cao Ni, the governor of Lingzhou, and Ke Zhu Hunyuan, the governor of Weizhou.

The three of them were always obedient to themselves, and if they lost the name of Kansai Daxingtai, they would really stand on their own blatantly.

He Bayue immediately ordered people to go to Xiazhou to recruit his confidant Xiazhou Governor Yu Wentai.

"This disorderly life is also unacceptable to Kansai."

After Yu Wentai learned about the matter, he said directly when he saw He Bayue.

Of course He Bayue knew it was unacceptable, but the consequences of blatantly disobeying the imperial decree were worth thinking about.

Yu Wentai guessed what He Bayue was thinking, and suggested:
"Duke He Ba wants to compete with He Liuhun, how can he be controlled by a puppet under He Liuhun's men, now the only ones who are uncertain in Kansai are Hou Mo Chenyue, Cao Ni, and Ke Zhu Hunyuan.

"If he hesitates and is forced by He Liuhun's righteousness, Tai is worried that something will happen again."

He Bayue frowned and said:
"The black otter wants me to set up a new master? I'm afraid the world will criticize me."

Yuwen Taifu knelt down and begged:
"He Liuhun bullied the young lord, and He Bagong served the elder king. Whose heart is for the Wei family, everyone in the world can see it. I also ask He Bagong not to hesitate. Now that the new lord is established, if Hou Mo Chenyue and others do not want to join, congratulations." Ba Gong can also lead the army to attack."

He Bayue pondered for a long time, but he didn't agree to this request. It's not that he didn't have this plan. He hoped to change the order.

"The words of the black otter are quite to my liking, but I am determined to destroy Hou Mo Chenyue and others first, and then establish a new master."

Seeing this, Yu Wentai stopped persuading him, and instead planned for He Bayue to keep the angel in Tongguan on the grounds of unsafe roads, so as to buy time for peace with Marquis Mo Chenyue.

He Bayue acted according to the plan, and immediately sent an order to Hou Mo and Chen Yue in the name of Daxingtai in Kansai. Because Cao Ni, the governor of Lingzhou, did not follow the order, he ordered Hou Mo and Chen Yue to go to crusade.

After receiving the order, Hou Mo Chenyue, the governor of Qinzhou, immediately invited his son-in-law Yuan Hongjing to discuss countermeasures. Another confidant, Li Bi, took the post of governor of South Qinzhou and did not participate in the secret discussion.

"When Erzhu Tianguang came out, I didn't want to rebel. It was He Bayue who ordered Yuwentai to divide my tribe, and then forced me to follow him to kill Erzhu. I deeply hate the act of adding insult to injury."

Hou Mo and Chen Yue said it righteously, but he didn't have the slightest nostalgia for the Erzhu family in his heart.

What he was afraid of was that He Bayue could successfully divide his followers.

Hou Mo and Chen Yue continued:
"Now that He Bayue ordered me to attack Cao Ni, does my son-in-law think that his intention lies in Cao Ni, or is he taking the opportunity to plot against me?"

Yuan Hongjing analyzed:

"Cao Ni is far away in Lingzhou, adjacent to Yuwentai. He Bayue, if he wants to see Cao Ni, he can let Yuwentai send troops, but he ordered Yuezhang to go out of Longshan and work on an expedition. He hoped that both Yuezhang and Cao Ni would suffer. His ambition is obvious. Ruojie."

Hou Mo and Chen Yue nodded endlessly, he had the same opinion as Yuan Hongjing.

Since He Bayue's intentions are sinister, he can't go north to consume each other with Cao Ni no matter what, Hou Mo Chen Yue made up his mind:
"I want to sit and guard Longshan. With Gao Huan holding a large army in Jinyang, I don't think He Bayue would dare to attack me with all his strength."

Yuan Hongjing echoed:

"Yue Zhang's words are very true."

The two men decided on the strategy, and a confidant came in to report that there was a scribe outside the mansion who claimed to be a visitor from the East, and asked to see Hou Mo Chenyue.

Yuan Hongjing hurriedly persuaded:

"This person must be the emissary of Gao Huan, Yue Zhang might as well meet."

Hou Mo and Chen Yue immediately ordered people to bring the scribes into the mansion.

Under the guidance of his servants, Zhai Song walked into the Governor's Mansion of Qinzhou. He was an aide in Prime Minister Gao Huan's mansion, and was appointed as Prime Minister Zuo.

The prime minister's mansion is full of talents, and it is necessary to take risks in order to stand out. Under such circumstances, Zhai Song took the initiative to ask Ying to go out as an envoy to lobby Hou Mo Chenyue, hoping to provoke the conflict between him and He Bayue.

After arriving in Qinzhou, he immediately heard that He Bayue ordered Hou Mo and Chen Yue to go north to attack Cao Ni in Lingzhou. He felt that the heavens were helping him to accomplish this.

"Zhai Song, the Zuo Chancellor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has met Hou Mo Chen Gong."

Zhai Song said politely.

Hou Mochenyue's surname is Hou Mochen, and the single name has the word Yue, so he is called Hou Mochen Gong.

"Mr. came from a long way, why?"

Hou Mo and Chen Yue asked.

Since Zhai Song knew that Hou Mo and Chen Yue were facing a difficult situation, he also had confidence in his heart, he said with a smile:
"I came here to relieve Duke Hou Mochen's worries."

"Oh? Why do I have to worry about being able to trouble Mr. to come?"

"Hou Mo and Mr. Chen are worried about He Bayue."

After hearing the words, Hou Mo and Chen Yue didn't want to pretend to be confused with him anymore, and said directly:

"Sir, you might as well tell me directly what you are here for."

Di Song then analyzed He Bayue's intention of ordering him to go out of Longshan for Hou Mo and Chen Yue, and offered advice:
"Hou Mo Chen Gong might as well agree to He Bayue and let him relax his vigilance. He Bayue has always looked down on the heroes of the world. After joining the army, you can lure him into the army to discuss matters and take the opportunity to kill him.

"Once He Bayue died, Duke Hou Mochen was the most famous in Guanlong, and he should succeed Guanlong.

"Before I left, Gao Wang once said that when he was under Tianzhu's command that day, He Bayue urged Tianzhu to kill Gao Wang, and He Bayue was the only one that Gao Wang hated.

"If Lord Hou Mo and Chen kill He Bayue, King Gao would like to use Lord Hou Mo and Chen to town Guanxi forever. The two families will be in-laws and assist the Wei family together."

Di Song's attack completely disrupted Hou Mo and Chen Yue's original plan to sit and guard Longshan.

Yongzhen Guanxi, these four words made his heart beat faster.

Since he was destined to turn against He Bayue, why not take a risk instead of staying in Longshan, as Di Song said, once He Bayue died, in terms of official position and prestige, he would not be able to inherit Kansai.

Once it is done, whether Gao Huan fulfills his promise or not, he cannot change the result of his separatist regime in Kansai.

Hou Mo and Chen Yue didn't make a statement immediately, but his son-in-law Yuan Hongjing was so anxious that he used his eyes to hint him to agree several times.

Zhai Song continued to bewitch:
"King Gao has two daughters, both of whom are descendants. The eldest daughter is married to the emperor as the queen, and the second daughter wishes to marry the Marquis Mo Chen."

In fact, Gao Huan didn't mention it at all, but Zhai Song believed that in the future, Hou Mo and Chen Yue would continue to lead Guanxi, and King Gao would not begrudge a daughter.

The big deal is that after the Kansai is pacified, another husband will be recruited for her daughter. Even if she is a widow, she will still be the daughter of the Gao family, so why worry about having no home.

As if sensing Gao Huan's sincerity, Hou Mo and Chen Yue let go and agreed:

"He Bayue defied the central government with the land of Kansai, and he hated not being able to eat his flesh and blood. What Mr. said, I am happy to know that the killing of He Bayue this time was not to please his own selfish desires, but to kill thieves for the country.

"Please tell the king, sir, that Yue is willing to accept the king's order."

In fact, the so-called marrying a daughter is secondary, and the irreconcilable conflict with He Bayue is the reason why he is willing to take risks.

Di Song took a deep look at Hou Mo and Chen Yue, saying that he would accept the king's order, which easily put the blame on Gao Huan.

But he didn't bother with these details. For Gao Huan, as long as he can cut off his mortal enemy He Bayue, it's nothing to be charged with instigation.

"In this way, Song wishes Hou Mo Chen Gong to fulfill his wish. In the future, he will bring Gao's daughter into the pass, and then come to pay a visit to the governor of Kansai."

 I'm about to have an exam at the end of the month, and I need code words. I may not have time to reply to book reviews one by one. Please forgive me, but I will definitely read it in the background when I have time.
