Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 144 Brothers Night Drink
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Great General was determined to be the highest title of a general. He was above the Sangong, and everyone below the Qing worshiped it.

However, in the Western Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was in power in the name of the Great General Sima, which gave another meaning to the General: "He governs the country internally, and specializes in conquest with a battle-axe externally, and his power is far beyond the right of the prime minister."

However, today's general position has long since lost the glory of the Western Han Dynasty.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, various titles have been given, such as General Jianwei, General Hushi, General Zhongjun, General Zhendong, and General Fujun.

Until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the titles of General of the Zhu Kingdom and General of the Zhenjun were added in addition to the indiscriminate teaching of generals.

Among Gao Cheng's series of titles, there is a Hussar General.

Of course, there are exceptions. Yuan Ziyou groundbreakingly awarded Er Zhurong the title of General Tianzhu.

After Er Zhurong, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty successively awarded General Tianzhu to the two brothers Er Zhuzhao and Gao Huan who were in charge of the government.

In order to show their respect to Er Zhurong, the two were unwilling to accept it, and they also gave other colors to the post of General Tianzhu.

Gao Cheng's general, without title, has a different meaning from the generals with other names.

This is following the story of Huo Guang in the Western Han Dynasty, ruling as a general.

Gao Huan could feel Gao Cheng's excitement at this time, but he didn't stay too long, and sent him back to the Bohai Palace early to pay his respects to Lou Zhaojun.

Before Gao Cheng returned to Bohai Palace, he bumped into a 70-year-old woman holding a baby before he saw Lou Zhaojun.

Gao Cheng has seen very few concubines for Gao Huan, so it must be that Gao Cheng's character is trustworthy, and Di Huan allowed me to contact the concubine.

But since the time when the Gao family made a fortune, Gao Cheng had lived in Luoyang for a long time, and the time to come to Jinyang was only a handful of times. She came here in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Did Di Huan introduce me to the concubine, after all, state affairs are the most important thing.

There is a mistake, she her reason.

With just one look at the woman, Gao Cheng recognized her identity.

You don't look much like Yuan Jiyan, there is no doubt that it is Yuan Jiyan's sister, Yuan Niang who was taken into the room by Gao Huan.

Gao Cheng bowed to you, Yuan Niang hurriedly avoided, you held the baby in your arms and said gratefully:
"Fortunately, Gao Cheng didn't back down on behalf of my younger sister."

"It's just a little effort."

Di Cheng thought it was, I casually looked at the baby in Yuanniang's arms, and asked:
"Is that brother? No name?"

"Xiao Wang gave me the name Xi."

Yuan Niang looked up at her child with a benevolent expression on her face.

It turned out that the seventh son was still called Dixie, and Gaocheng thought that in history, Di Huan named the seventh son born to Zhu Ying'e, Yuan Ziyou's former emperor Zhu Ying'e, as Diyu out of some evil intention.

He Bahun was wronged.

The newborn baby was lethargic, and it was fun to play with, so Di Cheng talked to Yuan Niang a few more times before resigning from the concubine and continuing to go outside Gao Aocao's courtyard.

As soon as he left the house, Gao Cheng saw Gao Aocao with his belly sticking out.

pregnant?

Fortunately, I still feel the aging of Gao Huan. It turns out that it is just that the years make people old, and they are not masculine.

"A Hui!"

Gao Aocao saw Di Cheng with a smile on his face.

Low Cheng saluted and said:
"Baby, mother and concubine please be safe."

Gao Aocao has a small belly, and it is very convenient to get up, you sit down and beckon:

"Ah Hui, come over slowly, let Grandma take a good look at it."

After Di Cheng approached slowly, Gao Aocao stroked Di Cheng's face, and Ru Di Huan was particularly emotional:

"Ah Hui has grown taller and smaller."

Di Cheng pointed to Gao Aocao's stomach and asked:

"Father, have you thought of a name?"

Gao Aocao rubbed his stomach and laughed:

"I still don't know if it's a girl or a boy, but his father said that if it was a girl, he would give me a character."

Low Cheng said in his heart that it was true.

If it is unexpected, then she is the eighth son of Di Huan, the eighth son of Gao Ao Cao, and Di Yan of Emperor Xiaozhao of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Compared with Gao Yang, Gao Yan is a reliable younger brother.

During the two years I was in office, I did nothing. I selected talents and appointed talents, paid attention to people's livelihood, worked hard to develop farmland, and solved the food crisis. as the emperor.

In terms of personal morality, after ascending to the throne, there is basically no white spot, and he can be regarded as a moral model among all the brothers.

But just such a younger brother who was a little bit withdrawn, still didn't control himself in the face of power. Before succeeding to the throne, he killed his nephew without telling Gao Aocao, and abolished the emperor and low Yin.

Gao Yang's prostitute wife, Gao Yan kills her nephew, and Gao Zhan both prostitutes her sister-in-law and kills her nephew.

Of course, if it's the same killing of my nephew, I'm much lower than the fourth child in the future, and I'm much better than Gao Zhan.

At most, Gao Yan knew how to feel ashamed. Before being scolded by Qi Yanrong, he suffered from mental illness and was in a trance. At the age of 71, he was injured by falling from a horse and died.

Human nature is vulnerable in the face of the temptation of power, and even a well-behaved low performance can be controlled, how can the evil and tyrannical king, low Yang, be trusted by low Cheng.

Every time Gao Cheng led the army to go out, he never went to the battlefield personally. He just took the lead in command, not because I was brave, but because I was worried about my family.

It's like Di Huan knows his fate, so he delegates power to Gao Cheng so that I can inherit the family business smoothly in the future.

Gao Cheng is also ambiguous about his own future, so he has to be more careful with his brothers, lest his hard-earned foundation be taken away by his brothers, and his wives and concubines will be played by us.

After talking with Gao Aocao for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, he guessed that Gao Jishi hadn't returned home yet, so Gao Cheng took his leave and left.

Qi Yanrong heard about whether there was a banquet tonight at the Bohai Prince's Mansion, so she changed into normal clothes before going on duty and waited inside the door.

Sure enough, the sun came as expected.

"Chang Yu!"

After a long distance, both of them could only see a blurry figure, so Gao Cheng couldn't help crying out in a low voice.

Qi Yanrong walked up the stone stairs excitedly, and slowly embraced Gao Cheng.

"Qi Yan doesn't even look like a master now."

Facing Gao Ji's jokes, Gao Cheng smiled.

There is a way, in adolescence, the size is slow, those people will be amazed when they see me.

The two held hands and retreated from the door. After entering the door, Gao Cheng turned around and said to Xia Houkui:

"Zitong go back slowly and have a good rest, you will sleep with Changyou tonight."

According to Xiahou Kui's words, he arranged for two groups of guards to be on duty in Gao Jishi's mansion in shifts, and then went to look for the younger brother, the eldest son, and the seventh brother, Xiaoshen.

Because the son lobbied Hebei for Gao Cheng, Di Huan transferred Gao Shen from Gwangju governor back to Jinyang and worshiped him as Xiaoxingtai Shangshu.

Good-bye to the eight brothers, and they will set up a banquet with wine.

Before having a drink, the slightly undrunk self-consciousness said:
"Zitong, you really envy him and Ao Cao."

Xia Houkui said doubtfully:

"What does Seventh Brother mean by that?"

Low Shen said with emotion:
"It's a small blessing in life for the master and minister to meet each other."

As soon as the voice fell, he was reprimanded sharply by the prince:
"Zhong Mixiu wants to talk nonsense!"

Then patiently explained to Qi Yanrong.

It turns out that although Gao Shen escaped from Gwangju, he was brought to Jinyang by Gao Huan.

But my behavior of abusing the people in the Gwangju Indulgence Department aroused the liking of Xiao Huan, but he reprimanded me for not making a big mistake.

Hearing what happened to Seventh Brother, Qi Yanrong sighed.

In fact, the relationship between us brothers is not close, since the elder brother Shizi and the eighth brother Di Aocao have been ganging up together to do things wrong, and rarely implicated the father Low Yi, so the father prefers the seventh brother Xiao Shen.

With the death of his father, the childhood conflicts have disappeared long ago, but in the end it is the relationship between Ru Shizi and Di Aocao, Di Aocao and Xiahou Kui.

Xia Houkui didn't have her own, so I drank a full glass and said sadly:
"Gao Cheng treats you like a brother and sister, but my brother is not worried."

After all, he sighed heavily.

The prince, Gao Shen felt surprised, and said doubtfully:
"Why didn't Zitong say that?"

Qi Yanrong drank another cup and said:

"Back when Lou Zhaojun and Yang Yaren approached Dahuang County with [-] horsemen, Qi Yan called all the generals to discuss the matter. You made a plan for Gao Cheng, but Gao Cheng was able to use it."

Qi Yan and Low Shen hurriedly asked:
"What kind of conspiracy?"

Qi Yanrong drank another cup and said:

"You made a wonderful plan for Qi Yan, saying that you would ride seven thousand horses with you, and you would take the heads of Lou Zhaojun and Yang Yaren, but Gao Cheng would drive you out. Alas! If Gao Cheng accepts your request, Lou Zhaojun, Yang Yaren and others How can we escape to Huainan if we have already given the head?"

Gao Shen heard the words and said silently, I felt that my elder brother was deliberately showing off his intimate relationship with Gao Cheng.

The son hesitated to speak, full of earnestness, but in the end he just raised his wine glass and said:

"Eat wine, eat wine."

No one persuaded her to drink, Xia Houkui immediately forgot about her ability to show her full potential, and drank with her two elder brothers.

The eight brothers drank all night, and the prince reminded him that Xia Houkui had long forgotten to go to Qi Yanrong's mansion to meet Low Cheng.

Early in the morning, Xia Houkui came to Gao Jishi's mansion in a nonchalant manner, and the guards on duty hadn't changed their shift yet.

Seeing us, Xia Houkui breathed a sigh of relief: Gao Cheng still has to go.

After instructing the guards a few words, he lay down under the stone steps and took a nap.

After sleeping for a long time, I didn't open my eyes until noon.

At a glance, he saw Di Cheng sitting under the stone steps.

"When did Gao Cheng come out?"

Xia Houkui got up slowly and said.

Low Cheng smiled and said:

"Zitong, don't panic, you've just come out for a long time."

Xia Houkui sent Low Cheng back to Bohai Prince's Mansion, and when he left the mansion, he complained to the guards beside him:

"How could he wake you up in time!"

The guards yelled at Qu:

"The humble job is to wake up the general, but Qi Yan is to allow you to disturb the general's sleep."

Qi Yanrong was taken aback when she heard the words, I hurriedly asked:
"Gao Cheng has been waiting for a long time?"

The guards replied:

"Gao Cheng went out early in the morning and waited for the general under the stone steps for two hours."

Xia Houkui's eyes turned red instantly, I turned around and went back to the Bohai Palace, and rushed to the low Cheng residence in a detour.

I used to be the governor of Gaocheng's confidant, I often went in and out with Gaocheng, I was a familiar face in the Bohai Palace, and I just came out, I thought it was important and forgot to report to Gaocheng, and some people stopped me.

As soon as Qi Yanrong retreated outside the low-cheng room, she kowtowed and wept.

Gao Cheng was taken aback:
"Zitong, why is that?"

Xia Houkui immediately told all about the drinking with his two elder brothers last night, during which he complained about Gao Cheng.

Low Cheng smiled and said:

"You and Zitong know each other from a high level of self-confidence, and you know that Zitong is an upright person who only spoke before drinking, so how can you blame him?"

After all, let Qi Yanrong go back to rest early.

Before Xiahoukui left, Gao Cheng took out a note from his bosom, which recorded in detail the words of the eight Xiahoukui brothers when they were drinking last night.

It was reported by the slave who was bought by Shizi's mansion, and then sent to Gao Jishi's mansion by spies, where it was obtained by Gao Cheng.
