Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 334 Dogfoot Zhen and King Qi (6000)

The distance of thirty miles is not far away. The next day, Gao Cheng arrived at Jianchun Gate in Luoyang, and the time came to the fourth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Taichang (541).

Wang Sizheng has replaced Huluguang as the general guard of Sanguan Pass. Huluguang is leading his troops back east, while Duan Shao and Lou Zhao are also ordered by Gao Cheng to move from Huatai to Hulao Pass.

Luoyang has already been under martial law inside and outside, and the people are not very worried. Even if the Gao family themselves sit on the throne, judging from Gao Cheng's past actions to love the people, he does not look like a tyrant, but is a non-high party minister. Everyone was terrified, and there was no trace of New Year's joy.

Gao Cheng stayed in Bingzhouhu to guard the soldiers outside the city, and sent the Gyeonggi Army to take over the city defense and palace ban. Even the imperial army was temporarily sent home in the name of rest.

After entering the city, Gao Cheng did not return to his residence. He specially called Cui Jishu, Minister of the Household Department, and led a thousand guards with armor and blades, and rushed straight to the palace city controlled by the Gyeonggi Army.

Walking outside the Mingguang Hall where Yuan Shanjian was imprisoned, Gao Cheng asked Xue Huer and Hexi Shele to search inside carefully, even Yuan Shanjian was searched to ensure that he had no weapons before he was willing to enter the hall.

He really spared his life. If Er Zhurong had been one-tenth of Gao Cheng's prudence back then, Yuan Ziyou wouldn't have pulled out a short dagger from his bosom and killed him with a single blow.

Yuan Shan saw countless armored soldiers following Gao Cheng rushing in. If he said he was not afraid, he would be lying, but he had already figured it out a lot these days: everything has been done, even if he bows his knees, he will inevitably die. If you die, you must at least keep your dignity as the emperor.

Seeing Yuan Shanjian sitting on the bed, he calmly said:
"General"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Cheng stepped onto the imperial steps in two or three steps, grabbed the skirt of his clothes, and was lifted up. Fortunately, Xue Hu'er and others had already searched him, otherwise Gao Cheng would not have dared to get so close body.

Only Gao Cheng asked:
"Your Majesty, why do you want to fight against evil! The merits of the father and son have been preserved in the country, so why should you blame Your Majesty for evil!"

Little Gao Wang did not frame Yuan Shanjian's concubine, he didn't bother to vent his anger on innocent women. To be honest, he really didn't have much anger. When he was determined to support Yuan Shanjian, he already knew that this day would come.

Seeing that Yuan Shan had finally broken free, thinking that his death was approaching, he said with great resentment:

"Since ancient times, it has only been heard that the ministers rebelled against the emperor. I have never heard that the emperor rebelled against the ministers. The general will rebel against me. Why should I blame me! If I kill the general, the country will be safe. If I don't kill the ancestors, the foundation will be usurped by the general. I can't It can be avoided. If you want to seek rebellion, whether to be urgent or slow is up to the general's will, and now is the right time, so why should you be harsh on me!"

"I! I! I am a dog foot! If there is no me to speak to the father, I will embrace you as the master, and I will have your honor today! Cui Jishu! Your Majesty is obsessed with obsession, and you will wake him up!"

With Gao Cheng's order, Cui Jishu was already gearing up.

Today the general entered the palace and stayed in Luoyang with many confidantes, but he only called himself. It was because he was young and capable of fighting. Cui Jishu, who had beaten the two emperors of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuan Xiu and Yuan Baoju, knew this well.

At this moment Gao Cheng was ordered, and after he backed away a little, Cui Jishu rushed forward and punched, the Cui family's boxing techniques reappeared, and all the guards in the hall shouted:
"Cui Shangshu is good at boxing!"

"Cui Shangshu! Swing a straight fist!"

Cui Jishu also has a crazy personality, once his head gets hot, he loses the importance of attacking, Gao Cheng's eyebrows and eyes twitched: I asked you to beat Yuan Shanjian to wake up, not to beat the emperor to death!

Gao Cheng then winked at Xue Hu'er and Hexi Shele, he wanted them to persuade them to fight, but he didn't realize that these two warriors failed in reading comprehension, thinking that Gao Cheng wanted them to help in the battle, so the two also joined the battle group, The three surrounded and beat Yuan Shanjian.

This is a bit disrespectful of martial arts, and Gao Cheng couldn't care less about turning his back on his words, so he hurriedly called the three of them to a halt, but sarcastically said:
"Has Your Majesty known the minister's fist?"

Yuan Shanjian, who was beaten to death, stood up with difficulty, straightened his clothes, and twitched the corners of his mouth and said:
"Does the general know about the Fist of the Son of Heaven?"

After finishing speaking, under Mandian's surprised gaze, he raised his fist and walked towards Gao Cheng with trembling steps.

Everyone tried to rush forward to subdue Yuan Shanjian, but Gao Cheng stopped them.

Yuan Shan saw Gao Cheng's chest was punched weakly, and after receiving the punch, Gao Cheng said:
"As far as His Majesty is concerned, to revive the Wei family, he will certainly kill me, but the Erzhu family was in power first, and then the Gao family was in power, and the Yuan family has long been exhausted.

"Imagine what the Erzhu family did in the past, Er Zhurong drowned the empress dowager and the young master, Er Zhuzhao hanged and killed Emperor Zhuang, humiliated concubines, abolished Li as one wished.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for ten years, and my father has served His Majesty with respect. Although my minister occasionally coerces me, outsiders slander me for being greedy, but I have never messed up the palace and stayed overnight in the dragon couch.

"I ask Your Majesty to read more medical books, and I want His Majesty to follow the story of Lord Shanyang and live the rest of his life in peace.

"Your Majesty just said that if you kill the ministers, the country will be safe. If you don't kill the ministers, the ancestral foundation will be robbed by others. Why can't the ministers be involuntary? If you enter, you will be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If you don't move forward, there will be disasters in the later Han Dynasty. Why is your majesty How difficult it is for a minister not to be considerate!"

Liang Ji was a foreign relative and powerful minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He successively established three emperors, Chong, Zhi, and Huan. Forced to commit suicide, all the family members, young and old, were beheaded.

At that time, due to the fall of Liang Ji, the party members were dismissed, and the entire court was empty, leaving only Shang Shuling Yin Xun, Guang Luxun Yuan Xu, and Ting Wei Handan Yi.

Gao Cheng's words were really shameless, saying that he had no choice but to seek to usurp the throne, and even complained to Yuan Shanjian that it was too difficult for him, it was simply plain.

However, although his standpoints are different, he does appreciate Yuan Shanjian. He has been raised by him for ten years. Even though he knows that being a puppet can enjoy wealth and wealth in peace, he still has the heart to cheer up. Counting the kings of subjugation, only Chongzhen Being able to compete with him in terms of backbone, of course, Chongzhen is only worthy of praise for his backbone.

Gao Cheng still didn't want to kill Yuan Shanjian. After all, King Gao respected tradition, and there was still a set of usurping procedures waiting for Yuan Shanjian to cooperate with him. He continued:
"Today, His Majesty wanted to kill his subjects, and Cui Jishu and others were disrespectful. Now His Majesty punches me back, and it is considered clear. If Your Majesty has kept himself safe in the past few years, the subject will still promise wealth, and if you do anything indiscriminate in the future Think about it, don't blame the ministers for not thinking about the feelings of the emperor and ministers."

Cui Jishu on the side felt that it was outrageous when he heard it. When did King Gao read the love between the emperor and his ministers, and isn't this sentence usually said by the emperor to his ministers?
It's too rebellious, but after thinking about it, I beat three emperors, and it seemed that I could kill the nine clans, so I couldn't help laughing to myself.

Yuan Shanjian didn't say a word, and Gao Cheng didn't want to talk too much with him. He was about to leave the palace, but he saw Empress Gao who was holding the prince and was blocked outside. She was looking into the palace with a worried expression.

Gao Cheng stopped to look back and said to Yuan Shan:
"Even if your majesty does not spare your life, you should also take care of your children. As long as your majesty keeps his own place, I will ensure the safety of your majesty's family."

Hearing this, Yuan Shanjian's expression changed, but Gao Cheng had already stepped out of the hall.

"General Ah."

Seeing Gao Cheng going out, Empress Gao originally wanted to call brother, but changed her words temporarily.

Gao Cheng stopped in front of her, took the prince who was only full moon from his arms, looked him over, raised his head and said:
"Take a name?"

Empress Gao shook her head and said:

"Not yet, I wanted to wait for Grandpa to come back to pick it up."

"Grandpa can't come back, let me take it instead."

Gao Cheng said sadly, both he and Empress Gao had red eyes.

After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng suggested:
"How about Huairen, I hope he can uphold a benevolent heart."

"Yuan Huairen."

Empress Gao silently read a sentence, and then thanked:
"Thank you, General, for giving me the name."

Gao Cheng just nodded, he had nothing to say to Empress Gao, he took a step forward without looking back.

After all the guards left with him and Empress Gao entered the Mingguang Palace, Yuan Shanjian regained his freedom.

"Queen, let me hug the prince."

Yuan Shanjian, who was slumped on the ground, opened his hands and said.

In the past, Empress Gao, who was always obedient and obedient, never handed over Yuan Huairen to her husband, only heard her choked up and said:

"Your Majesty really digs the tunnel to kill all the courtiers and concubines?"

Although she has been protecting her husband from Gao Longzhi's bullying, she really doesn't know there is such a thing as authenticity.

Yuan Shanjian wanted to shirk, but seeing Empress Gao's pear blossoms with rain, he could only say nothing.

Empress Gao wiped her tears and persuaded:

"Brother let your majesty off today, please don't make any more trouble, wouldn't it be good for you and me to live in peace?"

In fact, long before she got married, she knew that Gao's usurpation of the country was inevitable. The reason why she protected Yuan Shanjian all these years was because she felt that she owed him. After all, the blood between her father and brother was thicker than water. They won't kill themselves for it.

But he never thought about the conflict between them, which has quietly reached the point of life and death.

It can only be said that Empress Gao is a woman and has never participated in power struggles. Since ancient times, in all the struggles between the puppet emperor and powerful officials, even the rare good partners such as Yu Wentai and Yuan Baoju next door, when Yuan Baoju died, his eldest son After Yuanqin succeeded to the throne, he was also poisoned by Yuwentai for plotting to seize power.

Yuan Kuo, the fourth son of Yuan Baoju who succeeded him, was also killed by Yu Wenhu after he abdicated.

Once the conspiracy in the power field is exposed, it is always life and death. There are very few people like Gao Cheng who are willing to give another chance.

Of course, Gao Cheng is willing to let go of his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, the CP partner in the eyes of future generations, and Yuan Shanjian, a co-participant in many famous scenes, but it doesn't mean that he will let go of everyone involved in this matter.

Gao's butcher's knife has been raised, no matter what, there will always be blood, otherwise everyone will follow suit in the future and encourage the emperor to rebel, and his little Gao Wang will not live in the future.

Without trial, Huashan Wang Yuandaqi, Huainan Wang Yuanxuanhong, Jibei Wang Yuanhui, Rites doctor Yuanjin, Yuan Shanjian's confidant eunuch Qiuqing Liu Siyi and others were all taken to the gate of Changhe for execution. Cui Jishu To supervise the beheading, Gao Cheng specially ordered Yuan Shanjian to be taken to the palace city to watch the execution.

Also waiting to be beheaded were the men from Yuan Daqi and others' house, while the female family members were sent to work as servants in the silkworm room to avoid death.

At noon, Cui Jishu, the supervisor and beheader, ordered:
"The hour has come, execution!"

The executioners raised their knives and cut off countless heads, bleeding profusely.

Yuan Shanjian entered the palace at the age of eight. Although he was raised by the Gao family, he had never seen such a bloody scene. Seeing the separation of the bodies of familiar faces, Yuan Shanjian was so frightened that his face paled with fright, his lips trembled, and his whole body trembled.

Being sent back to Miyagi by Wang Shiliang, Yuan Shanjian couldn't forget that horrible scene for a long time.

Now that the tunnels have been buried and his party members have been killed, even if Yuan Shanjian wants to cheer up again, no one would dare to conspire with him again.

Gao Cheng not only asked Yuan Shanjian to observe the sentence, but also summoned many clan officials to frighten Xiaoxiao.

As for Xiao Gao Wang himself, he returned to the Bohai Palace early to prepare for Gao Huan's funeral.

Gao Longzhi, Sun Teng, Sima Ziru and other old friends of Gao Huan who stayed in Luoyang came to the door one after another. While looking at Gao Huan's remains with tears, they also took the opportunity to pay a visit to the new owner.

When everyone was leaving, Gao Cheng left Gao Longzhi behind, and everyone knew that Gao Longzhi must be allowed to enter the palace to "negotiate" with Yuan Shan to see Ai Rong behind Gao Huan.

Gao Longzhi discussed with Gao Cheng for a long time before leaving the Bohai Prince's Mansion and entering the palace in a hurry, please let Yuan Shan see the 'decision'.

Even on weekdays, when he saw Gao Longzhi, Yuan Shanjian dared not say a word, let alone being frightened just now, he naturally obediently agreed to the posthumous title of Gao Huan and the reward of Gao Cheng. Soldiers unify the north and have made great contributions to the country.

The next day, that is, the fifth day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, the court meeting was held.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss. Everyone knows that the rewards were discussed yesterday, and today is just a process.

Gao Cheng was still absent. In fact, Miyagi has been cleaned up now, and many eunuchs like Liu Siyi who are devoted to the emperor have been executed. It's just that today's discussion is about rewarding him and Gao Huan, so Gao Cheng cannot attend.

Besides, he resigned, that's right, in the name of keeping filial piety, Gao Cheng resigned from the positions of General, Supervisor of Zhongshu, Sizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Leading General, etc., and stayed at the Bohai Palace to prepare for his father Gao Huan's funeral.

Soon, the court meeting came to fruition, and Gao Longzhi, as an envoy, came to the door to announce the decree to Gao Cheng.

After Gao Huan's death, everything is as Gao Cheng and Gao Long discussed before:
The funeral follows the stories of General Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty and Liu Cang, King Dongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty;

Posthumously present fake yellow axe, envoy Chijie, Xiangguo, governor of Chinese and foreign military forces, Qi Wangxi Fu;
He also conferred the title of 辒辌车, Huangwu, Zuo纛, Front and Rear Yubao, Advocacy, Qingche, Jieshi, and the special gifts of Jiuxi.

Because He Liuhun claimed to be from the Gao family in Bohai, Bohai County belonged to Qi during the Warring States period; he also built righteousness in Xindu and started his business in Qi. At the same time, Qi was also a big country in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. However, Qi is still regarded as the king, and the posthumous posthumous name is Xianwu, that is, Qi Xianwu King.

".Lai Qi Xianwu King Fen Yang Lingwu, overcame many difficulties, hung the sun and the moon, decorated with celestial beings, the temple was cleaned, the country was rebuilt, great achievements, no virtue."

After some compliments, Gao Cheng accepted the order and kowtowed on behalf of his father to thank him. Gao Longzhi avoided it a little when he saw this.

After reading Gao Huan's posthumous mourning, the next step was naturally to reward Gao Cheng.

First of all, Gao Cheng was informed that none of his previous requests for resignation would be allowed, and Gao Longzhi tried to persuade him:

"The northern land is newly settled, and the country is facing an eventful autumn. It is not a great general who can't take on this important task. I also ask the general to take the world's common people into consideration, and don't waste state affairs on the basis of personal interests."

Gao Cheng, who has always taken loyalty to the public and the country as his mission, wants to be filial to his father this time, but it is difficult to ignore the people of the world. It can be said that loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma.

After Gao Long's hard persuasion, he finally decided to leave his family behind and serve everyone, and to be loyal to Great Wei as always, so he also accepted Gao Longzhi's resignation memorial.

After accompanying Xiao Gaowang to perform this scene, Gao Longzhi began to read Yuan Shanjian's reward for Gao Cheng, namely:

Add envoys Chijie, Xiangguo, governors of Chinese and foreign military affairs, record ministers, Daxingtai, and the king of Qi, increase the number of households by [-], fake yellow axe, and give nine tin special gifts.

When Gao Cheng heard this, he was furious. He angrily reprimanded Gao Longzhi:

"Father has worked hard all his life to be so honored, what credits does Cheng have, how can he steal this position, this must be the work of you, Gao Long, who bewitched the emperor.

"My father treated you kindly in the past, Cheng also never failed you, why would I be wronged today! If I hadn't remembered the past and respected you as my uncle, I would have ordered someone to kill you at this moment!

"Go back and tell Your Majesty that Cheng Ning will not accept this chaotic edict!"

Gao Longzhi looked at Gao Cheng's upright and awe-inspiring appearance, and said in his heart: You are noble!You are amazing!I followed your instructions and forced the emperor to draw up an edict. Every word here is your own idea. Don't pour dirty water on me.

However, I have served Gao's father and son for more than ten years, and I also know that Gao Huan and Gao Cheng treat their own people with tolerance and gentleness, but it's just this stinky problem, love to act!
Gao Longzhi hurriedly counted Gao Cheng's past achievements one by one. After finishing speaking, he persuaded again:
"King Qi's merits can compete with the sun and the moon, and all the people in the world, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, look forward to it. How can it be said that virtue does not match."

But Gao Cheng insisted on not accepting it. Gao Longzhi had no choice but guessed that Gao Cheng wanted to make three words and three concessions. He used this trick when he was named a general, so Gao Longzhi said softly:

"Your Majesty wants three speeches?"

But he saw Gao Cheng silently made a gesture of six.

Good guy!Gao Longzhi's face turned bitter, and he called out in his heart what a guy!
When a king of Qi accepts special gifts, he has to give six speeches and six concessions. When he is persuaded to advance in the future, it will be fine. At that time, it will be nine speeches and nine concessions, or twelve speeches and twelve concessions to satisfy Xiao Gao Wang.

Not to mention other people's resignation, every resignation has to be separated by a few days, but Gao Cheng loves to act, but he is also impatient in this respect, he has to finish six resignations and six resignations within a day, Gao Longzhi has no choice, even if he runs away. The legs should also cooperate with him in this scene.

Whoever told me that my little Gao Wang loves to come here, if I don't have enough drama addiction, maybe I won't see a good face for a few days.

Just like that, Gao Longzhi ran five times in a row between the Bohai Palace and Miyagi, but Gao Cheng kicked him out of the house, scolded him for deceiving the Lord, and wanted to overthrow the Great Wei State. Such an honor is not something a minister should receive.

When Gao Longzhi came to Bohai Palace for the sixth time with trembling legs, Gao Cheng finally let go and agreed.

While Gao Longzhi breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Cheng was able to retain his original official position, inherit all the official titles of Gao Huan, and become the king of Qi.

In the form of gratitude returned to the palace by Gao Longzhi, Gao Cheng asked Gao Huan to distribute the [-] food cities to the governor on the grounds of Gao Huan's death.

Yuan Shanjian, what else can he do, their Gao family is so shameless, they first forced themselves to add [-] households in the city, and then pretended to be noble and refused to take it, and distributed these food cities to the generals. There are quite a few households, but the governors and generals from all over the country have to accept their kindness.

Most importantly, this is not the first time this has been done!

When Gao Huan first came to power, he had used it to buy people's hearts and stabilize his rule, but this kind of gift was indeed effective, otherwise He Liuhun would not have confessed to Gao Cheng when he was dying.

After all the dust settled, on the sixth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Taichang (541), the General and Prime Minister of Qi, Gao Cheng, King of Qi, officially mourned for King Xianwu of Qi, Gao Huan.

The emperor Yuan Shan saw that he was wearing the mourning clothes of the princes, and took the queen and the prince to the Qi palace to mourn for the king of Qi Xianwu, Gao Huan, for three consecutive days.

Incidentally, as early as yesterday, Gao Cheng received the emperor's award on the plaque of the Bohai Palace, and it was replaced on the spot with the Qi Palace. It can only be said that King Xiao Gao had already prepared for it.

Qi Wang Gaocheng endured the grief even more, and led a group of brothers, including Gao Yang who had moved out of the palace, to thank the guests.

Even Gao Yang, when he heard the news of Gao Huan's death, he shed tears behind his back. He was born in a family where his mother didn't love him and his elder brother didn't love him. .

It's only after talking with Gao Cheng that he realizes that Gao Huan's indifference is the father's way of expressing his love.

Gao Cheng saw the expressions of the brothers. In fact, many people did not have a deep relationship with Gao Huan. After all, they were sent to Luoyang when they were still babies, and they didn't see each other for a year, especially the young ones. , just watching his brothers cry, and he howled along with him.

Gao Huan is definitely not a competent father, but whenever he gave birth to a son, he threw it all to Gao Cheng.

But he is definitely a good father, and he forbears his longing for his sons, just so that they can live a good life under his suspicious elder brother, and also to avoid the fact that Gao Cheng is far away in Luoyang, and the rest of the sons come into contact with the army, resulting in brotherhood A disastrous situation occurs.

Lou Zhaojun and others who were far away in Jinyang were already on their way to the south. When they heard the news of Gao Huan's death, they all cried into tears, and some even passed out.

Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu were raised by Gao Huan since they were young, and they have a deeper relationship with Gao Huan than those little uncles. After hearing the bad news, they figured out what death means, and even cried for their grandfather. When she lost weight on the way, it was the grandmother Lou Zhaojun who was cruel and force-fed rice porridge into her stomach, so that she would not be hungry.

At this time in Jiankang, Nanliang Chaotang was arguing about Yuwentai's attack on Shu. Even if they didn't know that the power transfer was going on in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, they had no time to look south. The bigger picture matters.

I think that the Gao family is the enemy, and the strength is the strongest among the three parties. Besides, Yu Wentai has already captured Chuzhou (Chongqing), and has a good location. If he goes to attack at this time, even if he regains the Shu land, it will inevitably hurt both sides. If the Gao family comes to attack at that time , how to defend against the enemy.

Xiao Yan was not foolish, he knew that the ministers were right, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't swallow his breath, the key was that he couldn't get over his face.

For example, Xiao Yan has been Yu Wentai's big brother for many years, but he is a stingy guy offline, and even robbed himself with a knife, whoever can bear it.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were about to roll up their sleeves and start working for this, a letter of surrender from Yuwentai arrived in Jiankang.

　4000+3000+6000，1w3搞定！

　　12.8w/21w, I just calculated, there are five days left, 21 words to be completed, an average of 1.64w per day, it’s numb, I definitely can’t watch the World Cup again.

　　I'll try to see if I can do it in these five days, and I can do it. I've also booked everyone's monthly pass for next month.

　　Thank you book friends for your reward.
