No matter how strong a man is in his career and how persevering he is in spirit, he is also a human being, and he will be tired and painful. As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad. Gao Huan is gradually moving towards the peak of his life journey at this time, and the people who are gradually gathered around him are all dragons and phoenixes among people, young and handsome. The more sensitive they are at such a sensitive moment, the less they can show their weaknesses to show them, because it will shake their will.

A man's innate ability is to bear everything silently, to bear the arrangement of the family, to bear the life and to bear the fate, since Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) has crossed over from modern times, he naturally has his reasons and fate, and if he comes, he will be safe. So what he thinks is that he has come to this era and can't go back, so he simply lives well, plus his career has been smooth and blessed before, and he has a desire in his heart: to do something earth-shattering and change history as much as possible in his position, and set his goal as the righteousness of the country and the nation.

He is lucky, he skillfully binds his righteousness to the worldly fame and fortune of other people, which not only satisfies his own wishes but also allows those who follow him to get the material enjoyment they deserve, and asks how many lucky people in the world can be as lucky as Gao Huan (Cheng Lu)? So along the way, he has been sober with the mentality of a modern person, not impetuous and arrogant because of the change of status and identity, more of his determination and confidence in the future, ranking in the Nine Heavens, brocade clothes and jade food, and can even be said to do whatever he wants, but he can still maintain maturity and stability has shown that this person is indeed a chosen person, and such a person is born with some missions.

Outside Jiankang City, Gao Huan's camp was set up in Stone City, Xiao Daoquan had successfully entered the palace, Xiao Gang had also retreated to the palace outside the east gate of the city, and Gao Huan sent his own Praetorian Guards to protect him. Zhu Yi turned his head after Xiao Daoquan entered the city and won the favor of the new master, and this traitor of the three dynasties continued to stand tall in Jiankang City.

A series of old ministers such as Yang Kan who were imprisoned by Hou Jing were released by Gao Huan one after another, so that the eldest and second eldest of the Yang family returned to Jiankang's hometown from Xiao Duo, and only the third Yang Kun was still a personal guard at Hou Jing. Southern Liang civil strife, ministers suffered countless casualties, and there were many vacancies in the positions of hundreds of officials, Gao Huan asked Yang Xiuzhi and Gao Longzhi to temporarily serve as Jiankang's imperial history and supervisor of the imperial history, specifically responsible for the daily administration and supervision of the Southern Liang ******.

Both Murong Shaozong and Gao Yue had persuaded Gao Huan to enter Taicheng, but he refused, because he thought it was not yet time to reveal his thoughts, and besides, Stone City was only a few miles away from Taicheng, and there were his own troops inside and outside the city, so he could immediately know and deal with any disturbances in time.

Wang Seng Bian's surrender of his troops surprised Gao Huan, he felt that the domestic affairs of Nanliang had become more and more interesting, and when Xiao Daoquan was in the early dynasty, Gao Huan asked Murong Shaozong to take Wang Seng Bian to pass on the order: to entitle Wang Seng Bian as a hussar general and Shang Shuling. Although Xiao Daoquan felt very shameless, he could only do it, after all, Gao Huan was the real master here. Wang Seng Bian's subordinates were assigned to Xiao Daoquan as a guard.

Wang Seng Bian also has his own house in the gathering place of the big family in the south of Jiankang City, not only that, but he was also promoted to Dao Shangshu Ling, what kind of status is this? All this is just because he surrendered to Gao Huan, although he is a courtier of Southern Liang on the surface, but he is already determined to keep up with Gao Huan's pace in his heart, so he is very concerned about defending Xiao Daoquan and safeguarding the interests of Eastern Wei.

From Zhejiang to Fujian, from Anhui to Jiangxi, the wealthy families from all over the country have gone to Beijing (Jiankang) to meet the new emperor, such a big momentum even Hou Jing's Xiao Zhengde Dynasty and Xiao Gang Dynasty have never had, and the entire Jiangdong separatist forces have gradually died down after the arrival of the Eastern Wei army, and they did not rebel and establish themselves as kings in the town. In this way, Murong Heng and Gao Yue's affairs were much easier, and they only needed to send people to send troops to receive the land.

The counties of Jiangdong surrendered one after another, which made Hou Jing and Xiao Duo of Jiangzuo very nervous, and they began to retreat one after another, not allowing merchants and ordinary people to have dealings with Jiangdong, hoping to reduce and eliminate the influence of the new imperial court.

"I thought that this Xiao Duo was not a good bird before, and sure enough, before the critical moment, his wolf ambitions were all exposed, and such a person can only let him see the situation clearly if he is killed, and sending someone to persuade him will not have any effect." Murong Shaozong, Gao Yue, Gao Longzhi and others were discussing the question of how to deal with Xiao Duo in Gao Huan's study, because they were all members of the family (children of their own family or clan), so Gao Yue spoke more casually than usual when there were outsiders.

Gao Longzhi felt that this was inappropriate, and he also put forward a different opinion: "The so-called soldiers are treacherous, and they plan to attack the city. If Xiao Duo's matter can be solved by a lobbyist, why should we work hard to make a big deal for the people and money? ”

Murong Shaozong nodded when he heard this, and agreed: "I agree with Long Zhi's opinion, after all, we are now in the territory of the enemy country with the strength of the whole country, and some disputes can be avoided if they can be avoided, and try to solve the Nanliang problem as quickly as possible. ”

Gao Yue said a little dissatisfied: "I said why are you two so cowardly, just one Xiao Duo will bluff you, he will definitely beat him if he is disobedient, so killing chickens and monkeys is to erect such negative teaching materials, and the other clowns who are about to move will settle down, otherwise they will see that we are so easy to bully, who is willing to surrender?" ”

What Gao Yue said also has some truth, but Gao Huan didn't think about not only moving Xiao Duo for the time being, so he said: "I think it's like this first, we will send someone to Xiangyang again to announce the decree, and let him come to Jiankang in the name of Xiao Daoquan. ”

Several people nodded when they heard this, so Gao Longzhi went to Taicheng to find Xiao Daoquan and asked him to immediately give Xiao Duo a holy decree. Gao Huan continued to stay in the study in a daze, and then Gao Zhongming hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "The king is not good, he is the military advisor...... He's dying, you...... Let's go check it out. When Gao Huan heard this, he immediately lost the plaything in his hand and ran to Murong Heng's room with a smoke.

The room was filled with smoke, the strong smell of Chinese medicine and sandalwood were mixed together, it was very pungent, the old master was lying on the bed, with a white scarf on his head and his eyes closed, and the surrounding imperial doctors and several maids and eunuchs were whispering to him. Gao Huan pushed a few of them away, knelt down in front of the bed, and grabbed Murong Heng's hand with his hand, the old man looked really old, the wrinkles and old age spots were very clear at the moment, and the gray hair and beard felt like a few scattered scattered in a freshly harvested cornfield.

Gao Huan called anxiously in a low voice: "Old master? Wake up, old master? Seeing that there was no response, he got up and asked the imperial doctor, "What's going on?" Why is it that the more you are treated, the worse it gets?! Believe it or not, I asked you to bury the old master? When he said this, Gao Huan's eyes really showed a slight fierce light, and the imperial doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Murong Shaozong also hurriedly walked in at this moment, and when he saw this, he immediately knelt down on the side of Murong Heng's bed, and shouted in his mouth: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Wake up, uncle! ”

Murong Shaozong was able to have today's status, and he also became Gao Huan's eldest brother, and he relied on Murong Heng's recommendation at the beginning. So after marriage, he offered the old master as his father, although Murong Heng himself also had two sons, the eldest son Murong Yan served as a servant, and the younger son Murong Ming served as the prime minister's mansion, which can also be regarded as Gao Huan's cronies. But at this moment, he is the only one by Murong Heng's side, although usually the uncle and nephew are gentlemen's friendships, but after all, blood is thicker than water, if Murong Heng really can't do it at this time, he must be very sad in his heart.

Gao Huan was still holding on to the Imperial Doctor, when Murong Heng opened his godless eyes and looked at the people in the room, Murong Shaozong shouted happily, "Uncle, are you awake?" My uncle, my uncle, is awake! Gao Huan threw away the imperial doctor, quickly leaned over and asked with concern, "Old master, are you awake?" What do you think? Are you in the mood for something? You say I'll let someone do it right away. ”

Murong Heng seemed a little energetic, and he was forced to sit up, Gao Huan and Murong Shaozong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and put on his coat. I saw Murong Heng looking at Murong Shaozong and smiling, turning his face to Gao Huan and saying, "King, I'm afraid that time is running out, I have a few words to say to you here, cough, cough." Gao Huan nodded again and again when he heard this: "Okay, you say I'll listen." Murong Heng waved his hand at the imperial physician and the maids and eunuchs, and Gao Huan hurriedly turned around and said to them: "You all go to the door and wait, no one can come in without my order." ”

Seeing that there was no one in the room, the old master held Gao Huan's hand with a strong spirit, and his eyes were full of reluctance: "King, the old minister has been following you for several years, since you were still a state assassin, the old minister has almost all the way to see how you got to where you are today, people at the peak always need some calm and objective opinions to make themselves not limited to confusion, the things that the old minister did in the past and said those words are for the future of the king, you are now in a lofty position, and it is inevitable that there will be some people around you. Some ill-intentioned villains are also mixed in, and the old minister hopes that the king can not change his original intention as he did at the beginning.

The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and now God has given you a great opportunity, and the old minister probably has no way to see the great achievements of the king with his own eyes, but I am confident that my children and grandchildren can see all this. Sweeping the Southern Liang and defeating the Western Wei Dynasty, thus ending hundreds of years of war and division in China together, the world has been peaceful since then. Lao Chen firmly believes that he is not wrong, and you can definitely do all this, your king.

Now the most important thing at the moment is to quickly solve the problem of Nanliang, so as to withdraw from it here, and prepare for a head-on duel with Yuwentaier and others, after the surrender of Nanliang, it is best to send a few capable civil officials to manage, after all, it is sparsely populated here, lack of resources, there is no need to stay here, only the Central Plains to win the world is the only way to end the troubled times, I hope that the king will continue to clean yourself in the future, pro-gentleman and villain, and build a strong and rich country for us. ”

Gao Huan listened to his words and kept nodding in agreement, and by the last few words, the old master had obviously returned to the light, and the time had passed, only to see him lower his head and let go of his hand, and in this way, Gao Huan and the others went away. Gao Huan shouted loudly, Murong Shaozong hurriedly shouted the imperial doctor, the room was suddenly chaotic, people came and went, Murong Shaozong's face was full of tears, Gao Huan stood aside expressionlessly, Gao Zhongming found a few more imperial doctors from Taicheng.

But these people are all lacking in skills, and the old master still went after all. Gao Huan ordered not only the entire hundreds of thousands of Eastern Wei troops, but also Taicheng and Jiangdong as long as they were occupied by Gao Huan, all of them hung white flags, and everyone should wear linen and wear filial piety, even if they forced the locals, he did not hesitate, the news of the death of the old master was transmitted back to China from Jiangdong, and the whole country was in mourning, and all the officials in the Eastern Wei Dynasty wore filial piety clothes to work for three days.

Gao Huan also called Murong Yan from Yecheng to mourn, Murong Heng's coffin was dressed up, and sent an army of 1,000 people as an escort, starting from Stone City all the way to the north to mourn, the eldest son Murong Yan wore linen and filial piety to support the coffin to bury Murong Heng in Fan Yang's hometown.
