Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 338

Gao Cheng, who was out of work, took the lead in formulating a series of decrees, and communicated them to various places through the three provinces and six ministries controlled by the Gao Party.

The news of Gao Huan's death has long been known by officials from all parties.

Hou Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, decided to send him as an envoy to Luoyang to mourn Gao Huan at the initiative of Wang Wei, and observe Gao Cheng's attitude by the way. If Gao Cheng can tolerate him, Hou Jing is also willing to continue to work for the Gao family.

The Gao family is obviously on the rise, but Nanliang, which is not as powerful as others, is in decline. The blind man knows which side has a better future. Besides, Hou Jing himself is also a member of the Huaishuo Group, and he has many old friends in the court, such as Sima Ziru, Sun Teng and the others were all friends in their infancy.

In the original time and space, it was also in the process of the original owner's fight against corruption that he and Sima Ziru spoke out, "Gao Wang is here, I dare not make any difference; Wang is not, I can't work with Xianbei children!" ’ Sima Ziru, who was so frightened and sympathetic, quickly covered his mouth.

But the words he uttered were like water poured out, and the water was hard to recover. Facing the temptation of the original owner, he had nowhere to go, so he chose to rebel.

Now the relationship between Hou Jing and Xiao Gaowang is only when Gao Cheng was just a fledgling, Hou Jing had a heart of contempt and did not listen to orders.

It’s just that Gao Cheng is more vindictive, and Hou Jing’s deeds in another time and space did not dare to make him fully believe, so he has many precautions, but in fact, this kind of contradiction can be reconciled. Gao Cheng was in Xiangyang during his southern tour. Talking to Hou Jing about wine, pretending to smile and grievances.

Of course, the Gao family father and son are also well-known for acting, which made Hou Jing dare not fully believe that Gao Cheng really settled his grievances with him, which led to Wang Wei's trip to Luoyang, but he didn't know that Wang Wei had long been secretly The surname is Gao.

When Wu Zetian saw King Luo Bin's proclamation, he once famously said: "It's not necessary if there is such a thing, it's the prime minister's fault." '

But in fact, before she said this, when the original owner communicated with Hou Jing, after learning that it was written by Wang Wei, he sighed, "Why didn't you let me know the great talent?" '

The original owner's regret was naturally made up for by Xiao Gaowang, so how could he turn a blind eye to Wang Wei.

Unlike Hou Jing who sent envoys to test, Yaoxiong, the governor of Yuzhou, and Gao Yue, the governor of Xuzhou, sent people to mourn the funeral sincerely, especially Gao Yue. The death of his cousin Gao Huan made him cry all day long. After hearing about it, Gao Cheng also believed that Gao Yue's sadness is not an act, after all he is well aware of the friendship between the cousins. (183 chapters)
Others such as She Digan and others also sent envoys to Luo to mourn Gao Huan and express condolences to Gao Cheng.

Among the crowd, not only Hou Jing was worried, but Wei Jing, the governor of Nanfen Prefecture, was even more worried.

Back then Hou Jing just underestimated Gao Cheng, but Wei Jing offended him more ruthlessly. Without Gao Huan's mediation, he would have almost forged a death feud with Xiao Gao Wang.

But Wei Jing obviously worried too much, Gao Cheng didn't have the intention to pursue the old grievances.

On the one hand, it is natural that Wei Jing has changed his past and stopped doing evil.

The second is also Gao Huan's last words, this time it is the true last words, let him not embarrass Wei Jing.

But the more important thing is to show your tolerance: I can forgive Wei Jing for beating me so badly back then, and those who have had conflicts with me, you don't need to worry about your own situation.

The main thing is to show Hou Jing, after all, only he and Wei Jing had old grudges with Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng thought about forcing Hou Jing to rebel against Hou Jing in the early years. After all, if he was asked to serve Xiao Yan and cause chaos in Nanliang, the pressure on the Southern Expedition would also be reduced in the future.

But now he has changed his mind. First of all, the land of Shu was acquired by Yu Wentai, and the trend of history has changed drastically. It is still unknown whether Hou Jing can fight to the death with [-] new troops.

Secondly, although the Western Expedition annexed Guanlong this time, whether it was consumption during the war, as well as post-war pensions, rewards, and relocation of households, the treasury had already been emptied. Don't worry about civil strife, even if Hou Jing's rebellion is put down, there will be no rewards to reward the three armies.

As we all know, soldiers cannot be rewarded for their meritorious service. This is a big problem. If they are a little careless, they may be armed to ask for salary.

Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can still choose to increase taxes to fill the treasury by plundering the people and amassing money wantonly, but Gao Cheng is unwilling to start with this.

Since it is decided to recuperate in the short term and focus on resuming production in the Guanlong area, it is naturally impossible, at least at this stage, Hou Jing cannot be forced to reverse.

At the same time, the news of Gao Huan's death also spread to Nanliang, and the Nanliang envoy, who was crossing the river to the north, had an additional task of mourning besides investigating Xiao Ji's life and death.

Knowing that Gao Huan was dead, many generals from Nanliang Chaotang still requested to attack Shu even though they had accepted the surrender form before. They believed that the Gao family was in a sensitive period of power transfer, and it was impossible for Gao Cheng to send troops to intervene.

But it was still rejected by Xiao Yan. The transfer of power in the Gao family was quite special. Gao Cheng had already shared the military administration with Gao Huan when he was alive.

The personal preference of the monarch is no different from determining the trend of the country. Under the influence of Xiao Yan, Nanliang is also generally in a conservative situation. , and then rejected the Gao family alone, Xiao Yan was more willing to join forces with Yu Wentai to fight against the enemy.

After all, Shu is still too far away from Jiankang.

It is precisely because it is too far away that I can't feel the deep pain.

Gao Cheng's good brother, Tutujia, has already sent two groups of people back to Mobei. The first group is naturally to inform Gao's annexation of Guanlong, and the second group is about Gao Huan's death.

The so-called send-off team actually also plays the role of spy work in many cases, but it is just aboveboard secret work.

At the funeral for Gao Huan, Tutujia also brought Princess Zhuzhu to pay respects. After Gao Cheng became unemployed, Princess Zhuzhu often visited the house, but Gao Cheng and this 11-year-old girl really did not have much in common.

After coming and going a few times, she told her to live in the Yanran Pavilion with peace of mind. The purpose of doing so was to avoid over-stimulating Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua confirmed his happy pulse during the autumn harvest last year, and now his stomach is already bulging, and he is raising his baby in the inner courtyard with peace of mind. Although it is impossible to run into Princess Zhuzhu, he has a pair of ears, so he can always hear some wind.

Gao Cheng, who is at home at home, is not all dealing with official duties. He also pays close attention to the studies of his brothers. Brothers Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, who are about to turn five years old, are also driven by Gao Cheng to the East Hall to study with a group of younger uncles.

Gao Yang is currently very honest, except for coming to Gao Huan's mourning hall every day to observe his filial piety, he almost never goes out, but Gao Cheng still did not relax his surveillance of the Taiyuan government and his attention to his own security.

When sending Shu soldiers captives to the northern border to reclaim the frontier, Feng Zihui asked whether he should keep the general and his children and ask for a ransom from Nanliang. Naturally, Gao Cheng would not refuse. He is poor now, and he is almost unable to solve the problem. .

Moreover, keeping these people behind can also weaken the organization of the descendants.

He Liuhun, the prodigal son, the majestic prince of Nanliang, agreed to ask for only [-] bolts of silk cloth. One must know that Gao Cheng extorted [-] bolts of silk cloth from Yu Wentai's three sisters-in-law, one younger sister, and two nephews. .

It can only be said that Gao Huan doesn't care about political reputation, but he wants fame, Xiao Ji is asking for surrender, not being captured, so he didn't ask for a high price.

Although Gao Cheng talked about political credibility, he was shameless, and he could open his mouth like a lion.

It can only be said that the father and son are really weird. People who love fame don't talk about political credibility, but people who are shameless hold on tightly and don't let go.

Now that Gao Huan has already made a promise, Gao Cheng can't go back on his word and raise the price again, he can only suffer this secretly. After all, in his eyes, if he doesn't make enough money, he will suffer a loss.

Gao Cheng found Lan Jing's name at a glance in the list of Liang Jun's generals and children compiled by Feng Zihui.

But if he didn't kill him, and he doesn't need this person as a cook, can Lan Jing still get close?

As for Lan Qin, who was so angry that he vomited blood when he witnessed Yuwentai's attack on Hanzhong, he managed to escape back to Nanliang in the end, but it was difficult for outsiders to know.

With the further development of the relocation, a total of [-] prefecture soldiers and their families were transferred to Guanlong in the so-called Sanhe area of ​​Hebei, Henan, and Hedong. After the [-] Guanxi captives were pardoned, their families would also be dispersed with them. In various parts of Kanto.

The mood of the captives in Kansai is generally stable. After all, when they are soldiers in the state of Kanto, their military pay is higher than that of Yu Wentai.

At the beginning, Gao Cheng inadvertently engaged in malicious competition and forced Yu Wentai to paint big cakes for several years. Gao Huan’s first Western Expedition was defeated. Much worse.

Tempted by rising wages, they are naturally happy to relocate. After all, some time ago, they were still captives of mermaids. They were worried that they would be sent to hard labor. How could they have such high demands? They also wanted to be rent-free, tax-free, and they could allocate land and houses to them. Not bad.

But the soldiers from Sanhe Hundred Thousand Prefectures who were relocated to Guanlong were full of complaints, and Yuan Shanjian really made people scold badly behind their backs.

As the migration has deepened, seeing that the blame has been thrown away, it is time for King Qi to come out of the mountain.

In the 541th year of Taichang ([-]) on February [-]th, Gao Cheng's past achievements were deliberately publicized in Luoyang and its surrounding areas. Under the instigation and organization of people with good intentions, the people of Luoyang shouted, "Gao Gong can't come out, but why can't the people live?" ! '

And this phenomenon also spread from Luoyang to the surrounding areas, and people from all over the country rushed to tell each other, "Gao Gong can't come out, but what happened to the common people!" '

Every day, a large number of people petitioned for orders, and high-ranking party officials, regardless of whether they were high or not, also went to the shuffle, hoping that the emperor would repent on the road of torturing the people, and invite Gao Cheng, who was at home, to come out of the mountain again.

Yuan Shanjian finally realized his mistake under the turbulent public opinion, but the people had already been relocated, the treasury was empty, and the court was powerless to move them back.

So Yuan Shan, who was repentant, saw his guilt and issued an edict: "All parties are guilty, and I am guilty."

Gao Cheng didn't play the trick of visiting the thatched cottage again. After all, Yuan Shanjian, the brother-in-law and brother-in-law, has performed very well during this period, so he must save some face.

The emperor personally visited the gate and restored all the officials and titles of Gaocheng, and the protector of the widow of the Wei Dynasty, King Gaocheng of Qi also complied with the public opinion and came out to take charge of the government again.
