He Batsheng saw his doubts, and then said: "I came here as an old friend, not anyone's lobbyist, you can be very assured of this, you can do it yourself to what extent, I don't force you, at least than I am more reluctant to fight each other in the future, after all, the friendship between my two families over the years is here." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but I still have to say that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, since Gao Huan is destined to achieve the hegemony of the world, it must also be God's arrangement, we really don't need to resist, besides, I see that you are depressed and unhappy here, others don't know, I don't know about you? You're not the kind of person who is willing to retire with peace of mind. ”

These few words can be regarded as reaching Gao Bin's heart, he raised his head and looked at He Batsheng and asked very seriously: "I went to the past not to seek glory and wealth, but to seek a place to display my talents and abilities, and to ensure the safety of my family and clansmen." He Batsheng thought that he would propose something harsh in the field, it turned out to be such a simple matter, and then said: "Gao Huan is best at employing people, he can arrange him to the most suitable position according to everyone's different talents, look at Yang Xiuzhi, Gao Longzhi and Yang Kan, you will understand." ”

Gao Bin then whispered: "Let me think about this matter again, I will definitely give you an answer in two days, and you will live here for a while." The two of us just caught up and had a good time. What do you think? He Batsheng smiled: "Whatever you want, anyway, I will definitely have a drunk with you this time." The two looked at each other and smiled, and Gao Bin said to the little guy outside the door in a happy mood: "Come on, go and get some good wine, I want to have a good drink with the guests." ”

Ten days later, in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, Gao Huan was very reverently kneeling to worship the Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the chanting of the Master Miaohua and the beating of the wooden fish in Huiguang. He was invited by He Batsheng to come to Luoyang to inspect the military preparations, and in the temple, He Batsheng also arranged a special meeting for him, Gao Huan has always wondered what kind of meeting is so mysterious.

The sound of the wooden fish beating and the calm and kind chanting sound made Gao Huan's heart very peaceful, there were no outsiders in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the smell of incense and candles was wafting around, and the whole scene looked quiet and solemn. At this time, Huiguang stopped the wooden fish, and Master Miaohua walked up to him and whispered, "My lord, there is already a meal prepared in the meditation room in the back, please follow the old man to move over." Gao Huan got up and nodded with a smile, and followed him out slowly.

Gao Zhongming's forbidden guards were all deployed in the temple, and Cheng Yanyin was also closely following him behind him. When Gao Huan came to the backyard, he saw He Batsheng waiting for him at the door of the meditation room, and the two stepped forward to hug warmly, Gao Huan said, "Fourth brother, hard work." He Batsheng let go of his hand and hurriedly said, "Third brother, what did you say, we are still so clear?" Gao Huan was very happy in his heart, and laughed and said: "What I said is that we are all brothers and a family, in short, we will always be like brothers." ”

He Batsheng stretched out his hand to the meditation room and said, "Third brother, don't say these words, please." Someone inside is waiting for you. Gao Huan was very curious and stepped in, and saw that it was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who looked polite and gentle, especially the beautiful beard on his face, which really meant that he was reborn, and he was very good-looking. The man Jian Gaohuan came in, and he also got up and saluted him very respectfully.

Gao Huan knew at a glance that this person was extraordinary, and he must have a background. Immediately walked quickly to the front and helped him up, and said, "Sir is polite, please get up quickly, no need to be polite." He Batsheng stepped forward and introduced: "This is the East Qinzhou Thorn Shi Gaobin Gao, and he is also an old friend. This is Gao Huan, the king of Qi. Gobin then saluted again and said, "Meet the king." Gao Huan was very surprised that the person in front of him was actually the famous Gao Bin of the Western Wei Dynasty, and hurriedly said very politely: "Lord Gao doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." ”

The three of them then sat down at a round table in the meditation room, on which were placed a few rich dishes and a pot of gruel, and the dishes and chopsticks were also complete. At this time, Huiguang walked in, folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, several donors, please come to the Venerable Master's meditation room after fasting, the Venerable Master has something to say." Gao Huan stood up and replied respectfully, "There is a message from Zen Master Lao, please inform the Venerable Master that we will go to him after the meal." Huiguang saluted again, then turned to leave. Gao Zhongming stood not far behind Gao Huan, and Cheng Yanyin was guarding the door.

The three of them finished their meal relatively silently, and under the leadership of little Maitreya, they went to the meditation room of the Venerable Master Miaohua. I saw the Venerable Master sitting on the kang with his eyes closed, reciting the Buddhist scriptures softly. The three of them stood aside respectfully and did not dare to disturb, Gao Huan and He Batsheng both knew the identity of the Venerable Miaohua, so they were naturally very religious, but Gao Bin did not know his details, and thought that Gao Huan and He Batsheng were both devout Buddhists.

After a while, people opened their eyes and said to the three people with a smile: "A few donors sit down, the old man was just inspired by the Buddha when he was taking a nap, and he wants to say something to you." "It's a bit nonsense for a monk to tell a political boss that the Buddha is inspired. But Gao Huan's face was serious, and he didn't show any distrust and unpiety.

Master Miao Hua smiled and said to them, "The Buddha told the old man that he would soon be recruited to go to the Western Elysium. Gao Huan was a little disappointed and said, "How could the Venerable Master have such an idea? It's too unlucky, and the disciples still need your long-term guidance to get out of the sea of suffering. The Venerable Master Miao Hua smiled and said, "Everyone dies once, but to die well, Lao Gao was inspired by the Buddha, this is a long-cherished wish of his life, although he dies without regrets." However, there are still many people living in dire straits, and they are looking forward to your deliverance, the king. ”

Gao Huan and He Batsheng were a little surprised, and Gao Bin watched silently from the side. Gao Huan asked curiously, "Why did the Venerable Master say that?" The Venerable Master Miao Hua closed his eyes again and said, "The Buddha has foretold that my world will end the war and return to unity. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said very seriously: "And you are the true son of heaven who was chosen by God and prophesied by the Buddha." ”

Gao Bin is completely convinced, Gao Huan now even uses the power of Buddhism so unfathomably, and he is really powerful, it seems that his rule in the Eastern Wei Dynasty has really been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Does this war-torn world really want this young man to end it? Gao Bin muttered in his heart, he secretly came to Luoyang to meet Gao Huan today, originally wanting to see Gao Huan face to face, but what surprised him was that there was nothing peculiar about this person, at best, he was approachable and informal.

But now even the archmage in this temple said that he has a mission to compete for the world, do you really want to stand up as soon as possible, the so-called dragon should be as soon as possible, and it will be better to divide it in the future. When everything is clear, his choice is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and it will not work, if he is attached to Gao Huan at this moment, he must have a very important position in his camp, and then in the future, after Gao Huan gains power, he will receive a noble reward as a minister of the humerus, and his children and grandchildren will also benefit a lot.

Think about the big families of the past dynasties, such as the Cui family in Yingchuan, the Li family in Taiyuan, and the Yang family in Luoyang, these big families have won the enviable rewards for several lifetimes because they followed the nobles to fight the world, and this is how the family came out. Gao Bin even thought of the story that he and Gao Huan were a family five hundred years ago.

It seems that it is indeed time to make a choice, otherwise his trip to Luoyang will become meaningless. Gao Bin secretly made up his mind that when he negotiated with Gao Huan for a while, he would show his role and play a pivotal role in the Western Wei Dynasty, so that he would not dare to underestimate himself after returning to Shun. In fact, Gao Bin thinks too much about this, since Gao Huan wants to unify the world, it is natural to fight with people, but after all, fighting a war is a very time-consuming and money-consuming thing, and being able to surrender people without a fight is the highest state of the royal road.

Therefore, Gao Huan must have raised his hands to welcome Gao Bin's surrender, not only to welcome his submission, but also to proclaim the world in order to attack the regime of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Although Gao Huan didn't believe in the prophecy of the Venerable Master Miaohua, he was very useful, after all, he supported Buddhism with the purpose of preaching that his mission was given by God, and even if he was called emperor, it was in line with the mandate of heaven and conformed to the people's feelings. So he said to the Venerable Master Miao Hua very sincerely: "Since the Buddha wants to entrust me with this difficult task, I am happy to fulfill my mission. ”

Looking at his ambitious appearance, Gao Bin suddenly discovered the reason why this man has been able to suppress Yuwentai, because he has a righteous spirit, and he doesn't want Yuwentai to always look very insidious, and he is very elusive in talking and doing things, but Gao Huan is not, and he really puts all his inner thoughts into reality.

In fact, Gao Bin was very satisfied with the White Horse Temple covenant this time, Gao Huan gave him very generous conditions, when attacking the Western Wei Dynasty, as long as he helped and attracted some forces to remain neutral, so that he could easily eliminate Yuwen Hu and others, he would hand over the jurisdiction of Guanzhong to him to be responsible. What a glory and allure it is, and Gobin has no reason to refuse. He had even figured out which people he would pull over first when he went back.

Huazhou under the control of the Western Wei Dynasty, where Tongguan is located, the history of the thorn here is called Li Hu, this person is the fifth grandson of Li Hui, the founder of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Xiliang, Li Xin gave birth to Li Xin, Li Xin is the queen of Xiliang, Li Xin gave birth to Li Chong'er, after the destruction of the Western Liang country, Li Chong'er came out of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the official to Hongnong Taishou, Li Chong'er gave birth to Li Xi, the official to the Kinmen town general, once served as the governor of Wuchuan, and then migrated to Wuchuan, Li Xi gave birth to Li Tianci, Li Tianci is Li Hu's father.

Therefore, it can be said that Li Hu's family background can be said to be born as a military general, so he himself did not like to read and love horseback archery since he was a child, and he was graceful and graceful, so he was recruited by He Batsheng's father He Batdu and valued him very much. Li Hu himself also had the courage to fight, made many meritorious contributions, and was the founding viscount of Jinshou County with military merits. Later, he followed He Batyue into Guanzhong, and after He Batyue's death, he followed Yuwentai, so he was made the general of the Eight Pillars.

Gao Bin's person who wants to win over is not him, but Dugu Xin, but Huazhou is the focus of contention between the East and the West, and it belongs to a very important military, so Li Hu's co-optation strategy has become the most important thing in Gao Huan's heart now, things are often like this, the more you want to get something, the more you can't get it, but Li Hu was unmoved, and the messengers sent several times were scolded back by him, Gao Huan hated to go to Huazhou in person to persuade Li Hu to surrender.

Li Hu has a sixteen-year-old son named Li Yuan (yes, it is Li Shimin's father), and his wife who has not passed through the door is Dugu Xin's third daughter, so it is such a coincidence, Gao Huan never thought that Li Hu would surrender to Cheng in such a situation, what happened, you listen to me slowly.

Li Yuan was young and brave, handsome and dashing, and was a well-known figure among the young warlords in the Guanlong area, and he was very friendly with Li Bi's son Li Yao, Yuan Xin's son Yuan Biao, and Yang Zhong's son Yang Jian. But such a young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth has a problem, his eyes are empty and his eyes are above the top, of course, everyone is like that when he was a teenager, he is not a young man.

There is a place of fireworks in Chang'an City called Qinghua Pavilion, the women in it are all stunning women from the Western Regions, all of them are full of style, some dignitaries and dignitaries have lingered here (it is to eat too much of this gang burning, but also to change the taste to eat Western food), so Qinghua Pavilion is an elegant private club in Chang'an City, generally not open to the public.
