Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 365 Humiliated the King, and Li Shu (3000)

When Wen Zisheng heard the words, he immediately became curious, and he hurriedly asked for advice:
"I also hope that the father-in-law will not hesitate to enlighten me."

"Wei, I don't dare to be called the head of the country."

Wei Xiaokuan quickly declined. Although his daughter Wei Changying was one of the 27 wives in the harem, only under the first queen, third wife, and nine concubines, he didn't dare to really regard himself as the head of the country.

Regarding Wen Zisheng's request for advice, he said with a smile:

"The envoy Wen only needs to spread the word on the way back to Luo, that His Majesty is sympathetic to the people and does not want another war, so he sincerely begged to marry the princess of the Southern Dynasty in order to make an alliance, but was humiliated by the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty. How can a father match a noble daughter!' If so, His Majesty will not punish you."

When Wen Zisheng heard it, he called out in his heart, there are still people with such dirty hearts in the world. He finally understood that his mission was not only to cover Wei Xiaokuan's southward trip, but also to give Gao Cheng an excuse to start a war. He couldn't believe that Wei Xiaokuan dared to make his own claim on such a thing.

After the reunification of the Northern Territory, the northern supporters ceased fighting. Except for small-scale border conflicts, there has been no large-scale war for seven years. The people are used to such a peaceful and stable life. Once a war starts, the people at the bottom will not care about you The ambition of sweeping the world is bound to provoke people's grievances.

For other rulers, it is not a big problem to let the people complain a few words. The key is that Gao Cheng is a man who does not stick to the pot, and he will only gain a good reputation from the people in his life.

To launch a large-scale southern expedition, there must be an excuse for the country.

Since Gao Cheng guarded Luoyang at the age of 12, he has governed with virtue and won the love of the army and the people, but now the emperor of Daqi is being humiliated by others. '

The Xianbei people will be angry because of the name Suolu, and the Han people in the North will also be angry because of the father's words. This is not a slap in the face of Gao Cheng alone, it is humiliating all the soldiers and civilians of Daqi!
Once this remark spreads in the north, one can imagine what the situation in China will be like.

As for Xiao Yan’s side, it’s useless to justify it, not to mention whether the detailed work can defend Nanliang in the north, but to attack Nanliang’s 13-year-old behavior of betraying the alliance and attacking each other. Do you believe in you or Wen Zisheng, a gentleman? What's more, Wen Zisheng came back from Jiankang in person, so how do you know the details in the north.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Fire Attack" has a saying: "The Lord can't be angry and raise an army, and the general can't be angry and go to war." '

Anger will make the monarch and generals lose their minds, unable to calmly think about the battlefield situation, but is it possible that Gao Cheng and his cronies and generals will be overwhelmed by anger because of the scene he wrote and directed?
But for ordinary soldiers, anger is a good thing. After all, they don't need to use their brains too much on the battlefield. All they have to do is to obey the command and move forward with anger.

Gao Cheng's kindness to the northern soldiers in the past will not be forgotten. He would rather bear a heavy financial burden than ask for military pay to support the soldiers so that everyone can have a stable income, rather than pinning their hopes on battlefield looting.

Not to mention the distribution of cloth rewards to the big guys, not to mention the Liuzhen Xianbei who has two generations of friendship with the Gao family. Even the soldiers of the Han army had to grit their teeth and ask the Liang people for an explanation. I'm afraid I won't believe it even if I give an explanation.

There is such a kind-faced and dark-hearted founding monarch, and he is still so young. Wen Zisheng can foresee the scene where the courtiers will be manipulated by him in the future.

He thought so from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He had to pretend that he didn't know Gao Cheng's role in this matter at all, and he couldn't even mention in the future that Wei Xiaokuan came up with his own idea, which would be recorded in the annals of history in the future. According to the theory, it may be that Wen Zisheng was afraid of guilt, so he thought of such a way to shirk his guilt:

It's not that I, Wen Zisheng, don't work hard, it's that they, Nanliang, are bullying too much.

Of course, it is more likely that the emperor and ministers of Da Qi confirmed the fact that Xiao Yan humiliated Gao Cheng with his words. After all, history books are always written by the victors. If Xiao Liang was destroyed, he might be the one who wrote the history for Nan Liang.

As an excellent historical inventor, Zhang Shiqi's Shi De needless to repeat, the trivial matter of framing Xiao Yan was a breeze for him.

After some brainstorming, Wen Zisheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Wei Xiaokuan, and Wei Xiaokuan did exactly as he expected, keeping it secret from outsiders, so that others would not know that he was acting as the plotter.

Wen Zisheng naturally agreed repeatedly, Wei Xiaokuan didn't want to go with Wen Zisheng in order to deceive others, soon he got into a carriage, and the two parted ways, but what Wei Xiaokuan said, Wen Zisheng firmly remembered.

Regardless of whether Gao Cheng had hope or not, this time he returned without success. If he didn't get this matter settled and returned to Luoyang to be punished for both crimes, Wen Zisheng would not be able to bear it.

In fact, even if Xiao Yan really agreed to the marriage, Wei Xiaokuan would secretly mess up the marriage, using Xiao Yan to refuse the marriage, and sending troops on the grounds of humiliation, this was Gao Cheng's ultimate goal, otherwise he would not have agreed to Wei Xiaokuan's Love, let him go south.

If you really want to just contact spies, it's not good to send anyone.

Of course, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Wei Xiaokuan wanted to know about the situation in Nanliang and went to Jiankang in person, which was also one of the reasons why Gao Cheng agreed.

As for Wei Xiaokuan, even if Gao Cheng didn't marry Wei Changying, he didn't need to worry about his loyalty.

As a nobleman in Guanzhong, he and Li Yuan, who was born in the Li family in Longxi, chose to tie Yu Jin to surrender instead of abandoning the army and fleeing like other Wuchuan generals. It is enough to show that their loyalty is not Yu Wentai, nor is it Gao Cheng. , but the victor, whoever can rule the land of Guanlong, they, the Kansai gentry, will give their loyalty to whom.

Before Erzhu Tianguang went east, they supported Erzhu Tianguang. After He Bayue occupied Guanzhong, they were loyal to He Bayue. They will naturally work hard for Gao Shi.

Generally speaking, in the land of Guanlong, they will help whoever wins. This is the trick for the aristocratic families to stand on this land for hundreds of years.

Of course, there are no exceptions, such as Su Chuo who died of illness in Chengdu due to overwork.

In the troubled times, everyone's choice is different. Wei Xiaokuan, Li Yuan and others chose the clan and stayed in the north, while Su Chuo chose to pursue his ambition and follow his benefactor southward.

Wei Xiaokuan returned to Luoyang before Wen Zisheng. After all, every time Wen Zisheng went to a place, he would cry at the reception banquet of the local governor, county guard, and county magistrate that he was just a frail scholar, otherwise he would have to lift a three-foot sword and become the emperor of Daqi. Shame, shame, colleagues!

Wen Zisheng passed through the states and counties along the way, and Xiao Yan's remarks about "how can a captive rule the world, how can a father match a noble daughter" spread around, and everyone who heard it was indignant. The anger of racial discrimination and regional blackness does not distinguish between ancient and modern.

It just so happens that Gao Cheng has the dual identities of Han Chinese and Xianbei. Xiao Yan called him a sorrel. Do you Xianbei feel the same humiliation?He also discriminated against him as a father. Do you Han people in the north feel that innocent people have been harmed?

In response to public opinion, the governors and county guards from all over the country have submitted petitions to send troops to the south, and to teach them a lesson. As for the soldiers in Nanliang, have you forgotten how they were beaten a few years ago?How dare he speak wild words.

In the context of the confrontation between the North and the South, not only the southerners discriminated against the northerners, but the northerners also insulted them a lot. Even because of Nanliang's performance of stretching his hips in the past few years, many people despised Nanliang.

After all, it has always been Nanliang who took the initiative to go north, gave up the advantage of the navy, and fought land battles with others. He used his own shortcomings to compete with others' strengths. Except for the elite soldiers of the Northern Palace who founded the country in Liu Song Dynasty, there were very few people in the Southern and Northern Dynasties who could challenge them. Well done.

Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong worked hard to recuperate, saved some family property, and spent three Northern Expeditions, exhausting the savings of Yuanjia's rule. look north.

At this time Wen Zisheng was still on his way, the discriminatory remarks about Xiao Yan had not yet spread to the Gyeonggi area, and the memorials of local officials were also on their way to Luoyang.

However, Gao Cheng had already asked Wei Xiaokuan what he had gained from going south this time.

He learned that the compulsory issuance of Zumoqian completely disrupted the money market in Nanliang, disturbed the people's livelihood, and made a firm determination that when he unified the country, he must strike hard at the Jiangnan gentry, even if it caused a rebellion.

If they were beaten hard and scared, they could understand that some things should not be touched, and they would know how to restrain themselves. Xiao Yan indulged them for 48 years. No, to be exact, since Yongjia's south crossing and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the dynasty Constantly changing, but it is just a replacement of a new ruler to compromise interests with them.

Especially in the Xiaoyan dynasty, although there were also five classics halls opened to provide channels for the poor, but they always followed the policy of the Yourong gentry.

It’s just that no matter how nicely he said it, Gao Cheng would inevitably be a little cautious. The southern currency market is chaotic, but the wealth should not be underestimated, and most of this wealth is concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families. Eat well.

If you eat meat yourself, you have to let your subordinates drink some soup. With such a big shop, there are expenses everywhere.

Of course, Emperor Daqi promised not to force against Hou Jing first.

Hou Jing can be regarded as a nuclear weapon against Liang. Pushing him back will definitely destroy Nanliang, but the destructiveness is too great, and Gao Cheng is also wary. After all, the future is his own.

The Hou Jing Rebellion was an unprecedented catastrophe to the south. According to historical records, he openly declared to the soldiers, "If you break the city, you will be killed, so that the world will know my reputation!" 'So' the soldiers killed and plundered, and the corpses were blocked in the road'. The whole Jiangdong was about to be ruined by him.

Gao Cheng had a clear understanding of the Nanliang army at this time. Hou Jing besieged Taicheng, the troops from all over the country served the king, and the people were eating pots of milk to welcome the king's army.

Then Wang Shi conveniently robbed them. According to historical records, "Qi Wang Shi is more cool than Hou Jing", and the common people missed Hou Jing who slaughtered wantonly, so they turned to him, and the plot was very magical.

Gao Cheng didn't believe it. Under Wang Wei's suggestion, Hou Jing crossed the river with 8000 riders. When he besieged Taicheng, the whole army was only 20 people. You have to let Hou Jing be the forerunner, ruin Jiangnan, and pick up another devastated disk by yourself.
