Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1135: Go to Jixian County and ascend the Dragon Altar
"Oh? I remember you said two years ago that the Lord of Youzhou has no ambitions, let alone the loyal and the traitorous, the virtuous and the mediocre, and cannot last long." Gao Yin sat upright, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and smiled lightly, " Now the tone has changed very quickly."

Gao Qing listened with shame on his face, bowed his head and said: "I didn't see the great power tomorrow, and I'm really ashamed to have a glimpse of the heroes of the North."

"How come I don't know your thoughts? It's just that I'm not convinced." Gao Yin put down his teacup and smiled faintly, "Gao Bing, who was born in a common family, has achieved such achievements. You feel that you are one step behind, so you slander Youzhou. Now, But it’s useless to talk about it.”

Gao Qing still lowered his head, but said a little unconvinced: "If you talk about this, I am not inferior to him. As long as there are opportunities, you can skyrocket. Now this imperial examination is an opportunity!"

Gao Yin shook his head and sighed: "The imperial examination is an opportunity, but the aristocratic family will be greatly affected by it. Fortunately, the foundation of my Gao family is not in Youzhou, otherwise I would also have a headache."

"Actually, this step has been foreseen a long time ago," Gao Qing raised his head, with a look of determination in his eyes, "Haier said before that the power of Youzhou was difficult to achieve, just to see the general who conquered the north perform the civil and military actions to suppress Promoting a poor family in an aristocratic family will inevitably shake the foundation, which leads to wrong judgment."

Gao Yin laughed and said in a test tone: "Then General Zhengbei has gone one step further and directly invaded the three states families. What's the difference?"

Gao Qing said: "If there is any difference now, it is the emergence of the Xuanjia Army. Such combat power is enough to overcome any shortcomings, and it has also laid a foundation for the general's prestige. It is difficult to instantly The second step is to exterminate the Huns. In addition to demonstrating force, it is also to avenge the former emperor. It is justifiable. It has a good reputation first and has an advantage. The third one is to frighten the surrounding heroes and make them dare not to do it again. There is a change, plus this fourth point, chain count!"

"Serial stratagem, serial stratagem, it is indeed a serial stratagem." Hearing this, Gao Yin showed a sigh of relief, "Such a situation has fallen on our Gao family. Apart from accepting our fate, I am afraid it will happen again. There is no other way.”

"The assassination happened so cleverly that the child would have thought it was arranged by Youzhou." Gao Qing also lamented to himself, "The assassination involves aristocratic families. Anyone who dares to jump out at this time will be punished. The Xuanjia Army will be destroyed! It just so happened that the general chose this time to carry out the imperial examination. This method was spread throughout the three prefectures and counties. If successful, it would completely shake the foundation of the aristocratic family. However, the aristocratic family did not dare to come out. If he came out, it would be related to assassination. Isn't it Unjustly accused?”

Gao Yin also said sternly: "Just seeing that the general took a group of children from aristocratic families into custody before the expedition, I am afraid that this plan has been laid out for a long time. It is really a long-term plan. But who can arrive first at that time, and can Xuan Jia attack and be invincible? "

"Not only is it invincible on the battlefield, but it is also invincible in people's hearts," Gao Qing said, showing a hint of admiration, "With the Xuanjia Army suppressing the North, all of us must think more carefully before taking action. Suddenly, many things that originally seemed difficult to implement are now worth pursuing.”

"The problem doesn't end there," Gao Yin finally expressed his opinion, "Now that the three states have been taken over by the General's Office, they are connected together. If you look at the world, in terms of territory, they are probably one of the best, let alone... Originally, Youzhou suppressed the aristocratic families, so they could go south, but now there is turmoil everywhere, but Youzhou is rich, but they are reluctant to leave because of this."

"Also, the next step for the Xuanjia soldiers is very likely to go south," Gao Qing added, "Most of the retreat routes for the Youzhou family are still in Hebei, and most of them are going to Jizhou. Originally, Youzhou Focusing on development, others don't know the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, so they can still do it. They think that if they don't stay here, they can go south to Jizhou. But in their hearts, with the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, how can Jizhou stop them as long as they go south, so the family dare not run away. If you run away, the Chen family will be unhappy. When the time comes to Jizhou, it will suffer even more. If you run further south, you will lose your family foundation and money."

As the father and son talked, they gradually felt that the situation in the Northland had obviously become clear.

Finally, Gao Yin sighed: "It's too late for us now, if you still want to have some status in the general's mansion, you can't miss this imperial examination, but my father doesn't want you to take the exam here."

"Not taking the exam here?" Gao Qing's heart moved, "What does father mean..."

"I will prepare a letter for you. You can go to Jixian County to naturalize and take the exam there." Gao Yin smiled while stroking his beard, with an unpredictable expression. "Judging from my father's experience, this general has a greater chance of passing the exam, and It can also help you establish contacts." "My child understands!" Gao Qing bowed his hands and looked forward to it.

Here, his old father became busy. Two days later, Gao Qing embarked on his journey to the west as he wished. He was accompanied by several people, all descendants of the rich families in western Liaoning, and they all had ordinary thoughts.

On the way, they each rode in a carriage, and when they had a break in the middle, they gathered together again to discuss the matter of the imperial examination.

One of them said: "It is reasonable to say that this news did not take long. It was only spread in Ji County a few days ago. It didn't take long. Everyone in Pingzhou knew about it. The battle report is nothing more than that."

Gao Qing knew a little bit, so he said vaguely: "I heard that there is a special communication method in the Xuanjia Army, so it's fast."

Someone immediately echoed: "I have also heard such rumors, saying that the general's mansion has many secret methods, among which there is a secret method of communication, which can be transmitted in one day no matter whether it is hundreds of miles or thousands of miles away. In addition, Zhang Behind the captain, there are many people following. I heard that Sun Xiu of the General Mansion arranged a lot of manpower. After getting the news, I immediately followed the trend and made arrangements. It is not surprising at all to be able to achieve such speed."

But some people were worried: "After all, the General's Mansion is still in Jixian County. The people there must have been prepared in the past few days. Now that we have passed, we are still one step behind."

At this time, one person smiled and said: "Actually, it is useless for me to discuss these things here, because counting the days, today in Jixian County, a sacrificial ceremony is being held to comfort the late emperor. There is no time to care about anything else." Then, the man looked up at the sun and said, "Maybe it has already started."

------

Under the scorching sun, Liu Cong and his son were in panic. They were led to the altar. Along the way, they looked at many people with eyes full of hatred.

They felt a sense of fear. At this time, under the scorching sun, the heat wave hit, and the father and son felt dizzy and even found it difficult to stand still.

Behind the father and son, there was also Zhao Ran, who looked like a bachelor and moved forward without any urging from the escort.

At the end of the road where the three of them advanced, the altar that had been established stood solemnly. Chen Zhi stood on the high platform, with a clay sculpture behind him, and behind the clay sculpture was a coffin.

　I haven't been feeling right lately, and I can't calm down enough to make changes.
