Chapter 28: Luoyang
Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Wen Ruo is right, I was lucky enough to make a contribution, Tao Gong recommended me as the long history of Langya, and I am preparing to go to Luoyang to meet Your Majesty!"
The long history of Langya, with a rank of 2,000 stones, in the official system of the Han Dynasty, belongs to the middle and high-level official positions, and is in charge of a county. When Xun Yu and Xun Yu heard this, they couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng differently.
For the Xun family, one of the eight great families in the world, the long history of a county is nothing, and what moved Xun Yu and Xun Yu was Gao Cheng's current age. Holding two thousand stones at such a young age, there is a great chance of becoming a feudal official or a high-ranking official of the imperial court in the future.
With this understanding, Xun Yu and Xun You secretly adjusted their mentality, and regarded Gao Cheng as friends who could be friends on an equal footing, and several people sat in the pavilion talking to each other around the stove, warm the wine, and the autumn wind blowing. Everyone is the world's top wise man, and they communicate with each other about the situation in the world, pointing out the country, and being leisurely.
Xun Yu was talking about how to resettle the displaced people in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and Xun You and Xi Zhicai were concerned about the battle situation of the Han officers and soldiers and the Qiang people in Liangzhou fighting in the northwest. Talking, astronomy and geography, internal politics, arranging troops, everything. Even Guo Jia, who looks sixteen or seventeen years old, occasionally says a sentence, but he is also to the point, and he has a good insight into the current situation.
Yingchuan Academy is backed by the two major families of Yingchuan Xun and Chen, which have countless collections. Xun Yu Xun You, as well as Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are extremely talented, they have read all the books, coupled with their own understanding, it is not surprising that they have such insights.
And Gao Cheng has been the emperor of Yitian World for ten years, and he also has a rich accumulation, whether it is internal politics, strategic layout, or the general trend of the world, he can talk to everyone and have his own opinions.
"Guangling Gao Clan, it is said that it is a side branch of the Bohai Gao Clan, Gao Ziming actually has such insight, no wonder he can make great contributions, and he can become a high-ranking official of two thousand stones in such a grade!" Xun You said secretly in his heart.
When everyone was talking, Xu Xuan, who was standing on the side, admired his face, he hadn't avoided many books before, although he had talent, but his thinking had been limited to Xuzhou. Now that I heard what everyone said, I knew the gap between myself and the children of the real top families.
Everyone said for a moment, and then Gao Cheng said: "Zhicai, when I return from Luoyang to take office, you can also help me! In addition to a few generals, I now lack military advisers who are good at military strategy and government affairs, if Zhicai comes, I will be much easier!"
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment, then nodded, and said: "It's okay! My schoolwork in the academy has been completed, and if I stay in Yingchuan, I won't get much benefit, and if I go to other places to practice, maybe I can make my cultivation to the next level! When Brother Ziming returns from Luoyang, I will set off with you!"
Gao Cheng suddenly showed joy, and hurriedly raised the wine bottle to toast Xi Zhicai. He drank a glass of wine, and then said to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, I heard that you and Yingduo Qishi, Yingchuan Academy is a holy place for scholars, I wonder if I can recruit some talents in the academy?"
Xun Yu smiled, there was no feeling of being dug into the wall, Yingchuan Academy will have a large number of people come to study every year, in addition to the children of the family, there are also a small number of poor scholars.
These people, like Xi Zhicai, are either talents favored by the Xun family or the Chen family, or they are recommended by others to enter the academy. They have no family background to rely on, and after completing their studies, many of them have to become family staff.
If Gao Cheng is willing to recruit some talents in the academy, he can also give these poor scholars a way to become court officials. So Xun Yu didn't express any dissatisfaction.
"Of course, if these scholars have a chance to improve, I will be happy for them!"
Gao Cheng is self-aware, and he has no arrogance to recruit Xun Yu and Xun Yu. didn't even mean to solicit Guo Jia. Guo Jia was born in Yingchuan Guo's side branch, and Guo's family is also a famous family in Yangzhai and belongs to a first-class family. Among the people present, only Xizhi is the real humble background.
did not become a Taishou or assassin, Gao Cheng would not take the initiative to recruit these children of the family at all, so as not to bring humiliation on himself. The recruitment of talents he said was aimed at the poor scholars of Yingchuan Academy.
At this time, the mountain wind suddenly became stronger, and everyone felt a hint of coolness in the pavilion. Seeing this, Gao Cheng had achieved the goal of this trip, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. Take Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin down the mountain.
Xun Yu and Xun You also had something to do, and soon in the pavilion, there were only two people left, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.
"Brother, Gao Cheng is an extraordinary person, with unique opinions, he is indeed a rare hero, but I feel that he seems to have great ambitions, if you serve the other party, you have to be careful!" Guo Jia finally put down the wine bottle in his hand, and saw that there was no one around, so he said.
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia have similar interests, have an excellent relationship, and are as close as brothers, so Guo Jia did not hide his opinions and said it directly.
Guo Jia's current realm is only six layers of soul cultivation, but he has a talent that can perceive the nuances, and through the words and deeds of others, he can judge the other party's personality and character. It's very accurate to see people.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If there is chaos today, there are many heroes, the real heroes, there is no ambition in his heart, but thank you Fengxiao for reminding me, I will be careful." ”
Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that the other party did not take his words to heart, so he could only shake his head secretly and say no more.
......
After leaving Yingchuan Academy, Gao Cheng stayed in Yangzhai for a day, allowing his two hundred knights to rest and rest their horsepower. On the second day, he continued his journey with the carriage.
A month later, everyone finally came to the edge of Luoyang.
Looking from afar, the towering city wall seems to be a steep and continuous mountain peak standing on the earth, Luoyang extends in all directions, bringing together countless families, wealthy families, giants, and rangers in the world...... On the road, there are countless people, and it is densely populated. It is said that there are millions of people in Luoyang City, and now it seems that the reality is very consistent with the rumors.
"This is the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang!"
Gao Cheng, Xu Xuan, Jiang Qin and others, after seeing Luoyang City, were not shocked by this spectacular city.
"Such a high city wall can be called impregnable! Even if millions of troops besiege it, without killing or wounding half of them, it will definitely not be able to capture Luoyang!" Xu Xuan sighed.
Gao Cheng smiled and didn't speak, in the entire history of the Han Dynasty, no one has ever been able to capture Luoyang City head-on, even if it was the original Emperor Shizu, after being proclaimed emperor in Hebei, going south to Luoyang was also a bloodless receiving city, and there was no big war.
At the beginning, Wu Qi persuaded Wei Wuhou that he had said that the solidity of the country was not in danger, which was a bit too absolute, but it also made sense, Luoyang Cheng was so majestic, who would have thought that in the near future, this city with the title of the god would be destroyed by a fire.
Attacking head-on, no one can break through the city, but the dynasty is in a state of decline, and no matter how strong the city is, it can't stop the sinister people's hearts.
"Don't sigh, let's go! Let's enter Luoyang and settle down first!"
Gao Cheng interrupted everyone's sighs and continued to move forward with the carriage, the closer the distance, the more he could feel the oppression brought by the city wall. When I arrived at the city gate, I looked up and saw that the battlements seemed to be far away.
