Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 156 The Boxer's Mission
Hou Yuan once sent a letter to Fan Zihu, hoping to make sufficient preparations before the incident, and Gao Cheng also thoughtfully passed Hou Yuan to help Fan Zihu set the time for the incident after the autumn harvest.

For Fan Zihu, it is natural to store grain and grass, but for Gao Cheng, it is probably because he is worried that the military chaos will destroy the year's harvest in Yanzhou and other places.

While dealing with internal job adjustments, Gao Cheng was also preparing to deal with the rebellion of Fan Zihu, Onoba and others.

At that time, Cui Jishu had not resigned as the chief of the general's mansion, but Gao Cheng recruited him to the Bohai Palace on the grounds of discussing matters.

As soon as he entered the wing room where Gao Cheng often had secret discussions with his confidantes, he saw the screen with his name listed first, and Cui Jishu felt refreshed like a breeze blowing on his face.

"Uncle is sitting down quickly."

Before Cui Jishu could salute, Gao Cheng cordially called Cui Jishu's name and greeted him.

After Cui Jishu saluted and took his seat, Gao Cheng suddenly said with emotion:

"After all these years, Shuzheng has been with Cheng for five years. He has worked hard and done a lot, so it's time for Shuzheng to take the lead."

Hearing this, Cui Jishu became short of breath, he didn't have a normal heart.

Cui Jishu felt jealous when his eldest nephew Cui Xian passed him to succeed Chang Shi, and then left the shogunate to serve in the Ministry of Officials.

It's just that they were all calmed down by Gao Cheng's kind words.

Now that it was about his assignment behind the scenes, how could Cui Jishu not be nervous.

He took a deep breath and pretended to be indifferent:

"Where to go, the servant obeys the orders of the general, and only wants to be able to do the work of a dog for the general."

Low Cheng shook his head and laughed:

"There are no dogs and horses to do the work of a dog and a horse, so what does it have to do with the scholars of the country."

Seeing the restrained joy on Fan Zihu's face, Di Cheng continued:
"You once told Zunyan (Li Rui) that it was Lizhou County, who knew the local sufferings and could hardly take on the role of Zaifu, so you sent Zunyanli to the governor of Eastern Jingzhou before the eight thorns were pacified.

"Before Zun Yan took office, he dug canals for irrigation, persuaded the people to be rich in farming, and severely punished treacherous subordinates, making the people applaud. Now he is still in Xiaoxing Culture and Education. Did I live up to your expectations.

"And you have the same expectation for Shuzheng. In the future, Shangshu, Zhongshu, and the eight provinces in the family will need no one to take charge. Cheng hopes that Shuzheng will be among them."

Fan Zihu's heart door had already been lost, and he showed indifference no longer pretending to be weak.

Although I usually use Zaifu to encourage myself, but at this time I really heard from Gao Cheng that it is completely the same. It shows that Gao Cheng values ​​himself and recognizes my talents.

The powers of the eight provinces are the same, and their status has not been low in each period. For example, in the Eastern Wei Dynasty today, because of Gao Cheng's appointment as Minister of Ministers, he was in charge of the eight departments of the Minister of Ministers, and the other seven provinces of Zhongshu and Menshang were also deposed. marginalized.

Now Fan Zihu also forbade a little thought of competing with Li Rui: Is it the daughter who governs the place?You have to prove to the little general that you are better than Gao Cheng even in governing the country, let me go to the door to save myself.

Thinking like that, Li Ruixue stood up and begged:
"My servant asks Li Rui to let Ji Shu go so that he can sharpen himself."

Gao Cheng motioned for me to sit down first, shook his head and said:
"This matter is on hold for the time being. After this, Cheng has nothing to ask Uncle to share your worries."

"Little general, but he didn't say anything, and the servant has to obey."

Fan Zihu said seriously.

Even though Gao Chengdang told Fan Zihu about Yang Min's exposure of Yuan Shanjian's conspiracy to rebel and his appointment of Yang Min as an internal response, he said earnestly:

"Everything is ready now, only one person is left to deceive Yuan Shanjian for you and Yang Min."

Speaking of that, Fan Zihu still understood what Gao Cheng meant, and immediately asked Ying to say:
"My servant is willing to take on this important task for Hou Yuan."

Low Cheng sighed and said:

"Cheng also thinks that Uncle is the most suitable candidate. When the person who can be appointed goes to Qingzhou, he needs to pass through Yanzhou. Uncle needs to consider ambiguity."

From Luoyang to Qingzhou on business, and deliberately bypassed Yanzhou, Yuan Shanjian could see that there was nothing wrong with it even if he was a fool.

"The little general said it all. Yuan Shanjian decided to take action before the autumn harvest. Now that the servant is traveling through Yanzhou, why is it so dangerous? Please also ask the little general to accept the servant's job."

Fan Zihu insisted.

Gao Cheng persisted again and again, and finally the daughter was invited by Fan Zihu.

In fact, if it is just a defection in battle, there is no need to do so.

But once there is a battle, it is Yanzhou's vitality that will be damaged.

But if it's a battle, let Li Rui bring me the heads of Yuan Shanjian and Onoba, and that scene must be performed.

He Bayue's example is right in front of his eyes, who would dare to put himself in danger.

In mid-January of the seventh year of Taichang (535), Li Ruixue officially resigned from the position of Shi, the chief of the general's mansion, and Hou Cishi took Fan Zihu as an angel to inspect the Qingqi area on his behalf.

Fan Zihu led the team to go out of Luoyang and go to Qingzhou first. Along the way, he treated the local officials with a good face and was extremely arrogant and domineering.

On the surface, Fan Zihu is under the order of the emperor, but everyone knows that I represent Gao Cheng. After all, the political background is outside of this, and I have been Gao Cheng's confidant for seven years.

Because of the fear of Low Cheng, he can only serve with great heart

Even if he retreated to Yanzhou, he would still be restrained.

Such behavior made Yuan Shan see whether he was suspicious.

Li Ruixue, who was ordered to inspect Qingqi, finally retreated into Qingzhou smoothly, and was greeted by Li Rui and other Qingzhou officials at the border of the Guanzhou state.

Facing the governor Yang Min who greeted him later, Fan Zihu asked impatiently:

"Is it true that there are no prostitutes in the city?"

The Qingzhou bureaucrats who greeted them later were all in an uproar.

We all know that the father and son of the Low family are lustful, so if they want to come to our side, it is better to go somewhere.

I thought so, but I dared to show it.

Even Li Rui could only put on a smile and ordered people to go back to Zhouzhi Dongyang City to prepare beautiful prostitutes for Fan Zihu's residence.

I also asked Cui Jixian to accompany me to the governor's mansion for a banquet.

Li Ruixue saw that Yang Min was so vile, she also honored me and followed me to the governor's mansion for a banquet.

A group of officials from Qingzhou accompanied him.

During the banquet, Yang Min asked his beloved concubine to perform a dance.

That man has a beautiful appearance, a charming and graceful figure, and is the best at dancing. Yang Min always hated showing off his beloved concubine at banquets in the past.

But what I expected was that Fan Zihu's eyes were always aimed at the concubine's body, and his eyes were straight.

Li Rui's face was livid, and the others couldn't hold back their coughs to remind Fan Zihu, but Li Ruixue seemed to have never heard of it.

Let go of the dance, Fan Zihu's expression is still unsatisfactory, I said to everyone in the field:

"The reason why you patrol Qingqi is to find Meiji for the little general."

When everyone heard the words and cursed secretly in their hearts, they also felt that that incident might really be the main mission of Fan Zihu's trip.

Just about to meet that matter, to find a beautiful man for Gao Cheng.

But Li Ruixue continued:

"The little general is a good woman, I know if Cui Jishu can bear the pain to part with her, and give up the dancing concubine to the little general."

What he said made Yang Min's forehead bulge with blue veins.

Everyone thought that that person was really cowardly and reckless, actually directly asking for Li Rui's concubine.

If Yang Min really responded to that matter, he wouldn't have the face to rule Qingzhou in the future.

I categorically agree:

"As the saying goes, a gentleman steals what others like, but if you can give what you love in this abyss."

Fan Zihu slapped the table and shouted:
"Okay! The reason why you are doing this is that my daughter wants to test whether Li Ruixue is loyal to the little general. Now it seems...huh!"

With a loud hum, the whole audience changed color.

Yang Min also said angrily:

"Even if the little general comes personally, Yuan can still follow his orders!"

Fan Zihu said with a hot face:

"If you insist on bringing this man back to Luoyang today, what about Cui Jishu?"

Li Rui looked directly at him and said:
"That just didn't send Emissary Cui out of Qingzhou."

Fan Zihu snorted hotly:
"If you need Cui Jishu to send you off, Cui can go back to Luoyang by himself. When the little general leads the small army to come in person, I hope Li Ruixue will not be as stubborn as today!"

When Yang Min was threatened like that, he flew into a rage, and I yelled:

"Come on!"

The personal guards of the governor's mansion rushed back one after another.

Fan Zihu didn't seem to be afraid at all, I said with a slightly trembling voice:
"Is it true that Cui Jishu wants to kill the angel, but he forgot He Basheng's crime of killing the envoy?"

Li Rui said contemptuously:
"Killing him didn't mean dirtying your hands. You welcomed him into Qingzhou, so you should send him out of the country as a gift!"

After all, he ordered the guards:

"Expel this person for you."

"Yang Min! If you humiliate you today, you will pay back tomorrow!"

Fan Zihu was dragged out of the governor's mansion, and his shouts remained silent, but gradually drifted away.

All had time to enjoy the tenderness of the beautiful prostitutes that had been prepared, so they were expelled from Qingzhou. Fan Zihu was deeply humiliated, and on the way back to Luoyang, he threatened Yang Min to rebel.

Of course, Yuan Shanjian and Onoba of Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Qingzhou, also knew about the incident, and sent envoys to express their condolences to Li Rui.

And he was convinced that this matter was false, so he concluded that Yang Min must have turned against Gao Cheng.

First of all, when Fan Zihu came to do that thing, he would make people have girls.

Who is Fan Zihu, who beat up two Kanxi emperors, and controlled Kanto with a pair of iron fists.

And it is well known that Gao Cheng is a good woman.

The extremely arrogant Fan Zihu asked Yang Min for a concubine on behalf of Gao Cheng.

It doesn't matter whether it's really lustful or trying to test Yang Min.

It couldn't be more true than that.

When Fan Zihu returned to Luoyang, it was already before the autumn harvest.

Yuan Shanjian raised his troops in Yanzhou, declaring that the low family would harm the country and bully the emperor, and shouted the slogan of respecting the king and destroying barbarians and returning the emperor to power.

Onoba, the governor of Southern Qingzhou, and Yang Min, the governor of Qingzhou, responded together.

When Gao Cheng heard the news in Luoyang, he couldn't help but laugh.

Good guy, respect the king and fight against the barbarians, and return the government to the emperor.

The Falling Curtain Movement has come, well, overthrowing the shogunate rule of the little general Gao Cheng in Luoyang, how can it be called Falling Curtain.

And Yuan Shanjian's object of return to power, the great emperor Hou Cishi was trembling.

I always know why I let go of such a thing: they fight if they want to, and what are they doing if they pull you down.

The panic-stricken Hou Cishi took Emperor Gao to the Bohai Palace to explain to Gao Cheng that Yuan Shanjian's rebellion was definitely related to him.

Of course, Gao Cheng knew that it had something to do with me. In the end, it was not because he forced Li Ruixue to rebel through personnel transfer.

I planned to take this opportunity to teach Li Ruixue a good lesson, but since my sister was present, after thinking about it, I should just be myself.

So he pretended to comfort him and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. I firmly believe that Your Majesty is loyal to the Low family."

Governor Hou immediately expressed his gratitude:
"I am on the throne because of Hou Yuan and the low king, so I should serve you sincerely."

As soon as those two sentences were spoken, both Gao Cheng and Hou Cishi felt that they were right, but Hou Yuan was placed behind King Gao, is that a matter of course?

But one said that the emperor was loyal to his subjects, and the other, as an emperor, said that he should serve sincerely.

The attendants, except for Low Emperor Qian and Low Ji Shi, all consciously covered their ears.
