Chapter 237: Mighty King Kong
Cheng Yanyin has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never eaten white flour steamed buns in his life, so when Yang Kan said that he could eat this high-end product every day in the future, he was a hundred happy in his heart. Gao Huan pulled Yang Kan aside and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" "Since he came to Yecheng with Gao Huan, he should be called, Mr. At this time, Yang Kan confidently said to Gao Huan: "Isn't the king going to prepare for a big battle with the Western Wei Dynasty?" We officially lack such talents, as long as this person is used well, it must be a husband and a wife. ”
Gao Huan nodded, in fact, he was also very satisfied with this Cheng Yanyin in his heart, he was wondering if this was Cheng Yanjin's father. Actually, it's not, the two are just about the same name, and they are very different in age. At this time, Cheng Biting Jin was still spinning in his mother's belly. But Gao Huan was still a little worried about Cheng Biting Yin's ability, so he asked in a low voice: "Where does Mr. plan to appoint him, I think this person is really a grass man, he has no experience in leading troops to fight, but I am afraid that he will not be able to use it." ”
Yang Kan stroked his beard and said, "Does the king know Han Xiong, one of the generals of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty?" Gao Huan nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it." What is your opinion? Yang Kan smiled: "What about his righteous son Han Baohu?" Gao Huan heard that Han captured the tiger, and immediately resented, the reputation of this goods has long been heard, it is said that one person killed seven or eight colorful tigers (in ancient times, the effect of false rumors) and this manpower is infinite, when he attacked Xiao Lun of Bashu, it was all up to him to push to the city wall, only to break through Jinshou City, defeat Xiao Lun's 100,000 army.
Gao Huan actually doesn't believe in such, but what many people say has a nose and eyes is like the real thing. The power of the three of them into a tiger is reflected, think about the future to fight against this Han Baohu, there are really few generals under his account who can match him, now almost all the people in the court are their own people, the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty except for the emperor himself can not do, other things are no longer under his words, as long as he wants, someone can even pick stars for him in the nine heavens, escape to the five lakes to catch turtles, this is the influence of power.
After all, politics can't provoke the big beam in this troubled era, and the strength of each family still depends on how many generals they can fight and kill, which is the last word. But this Cheng Yanyin doesn't seem to be his ideal general, he is very worried that such a person will go into battle and remove his strength, what will be left, and he will not be stronger than anyone else in battle.
Yang Kan saw Gao Huan's thoughts, so he whispered: "We can train him in the martial arts arena for a period of time first, and then if this person is really useless, then he can also be used as your personal bodyguard." If God is fortunate enough to give you this man as a general, then it will be like a tiger for your hegemony in the future. Gao Huan was also a little moved when he heard him say this, after all, although he now has a few generals under him, he is a layman in terms of military reform, and even his own Praetorian Guard is pieced together.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan immediately said: "Okay, let's go back to the palace and talk about the army, I also happen to have some ideas I want to discuss with you." The two monarchs and ministers understood and went back to the palace, and Gao Zhongming followed the ragged Cheng Yanyin not far behind, and he was a little jealous in his heart. Why has the eldest brother always recruited some strange people into the palace recently, first the Taoist priest Zhang Tianshi, and then the monks Miaohua and Huiguang, this time it is even more exciting, Cheng Biting Silver who picked up a meal on the construction site, what is this, is it that the eldest brother has lost his mind and is crazy, and he is doing some nonsense.
Where does he understand Gao Huan's thoughts, if he understands these truths, he will not be Gao Zhongming. So at this moment, the more I look at this Cheng Bitingyin, the more unpleasant it is, in fact, although this Cheng Biting Yin is a farmer, he has seen some things for many years, especially in the past few years when he followed the troupe to the north and south, he also learned some knives, guns, sticks, fists and embroidered legs with the boxing and foot masters in the troupe.
Although these things are useless, this person has a good foundation, in the words that are more popular now, this person has a strange skeleton and is talented, and a little bit of dialing is a fierce general. Of course, Gao Huan must not know these things now.
After returning to the palace, Gao Huan said goodbye to Huiguang and Master Miaohua, and returned to his study, where Yang Kan, Yang Xiuzhi, Sun Teng, Sima Ziru, etc. were all summoned. Gao Huan sighed and said: "Alas, I won't tell you anything, I found out today that there are really people with innate divine power in this world, if this land of Shenzhou is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, even a little farmer has such skills, why didn't you find it before?" Am I really blind and can't find talent? ”
Sun Teng comforted him and said: "The king doesn't have to sigh about this matter, as long as you are willing, tomorrow I will collect strange people from the people for you, like Cheng Biting Yin." Gao Huan sighed not because he didn't have talents under him, but because he didn't tap these available talents well. What is the use of Sun Teng collecting those for him. But this also reminded Gao Huan of himself, whether he also needs to have a grand event like a martial arts conference.
"You say, in the name of the prime minister and the king of Qi, I recruit talents from all over the world to come to my Yecheng to compete, and select some masters from them as military attaché training, will I not be so overstretched in the future?" Yang Kan was overjoyed when he heard this: "The king's plan is very good, if you see the world, there are two kinds of civil officials' careers, recommendation and imperial examination, but military attachés rarely have a systematic assessment, so it is naturally difficult for some masters of the people to enter the imperial court's requisition system, which will lead to two problems, first, these people who practice martial arts are easy to pull mountains on the local mountain as bandits to endanger one party, and secondly, they are used by those with ulterior motives, and become a big trouble for the imperial court." If you can hold a system similar to the civil imperial examination once a year, why worry about the lack of generals to choose from. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, and it takes a long time to produce results by one's own training, and once there is a change, the loss is great. ”
Gao Huan was very satisfied when he heard Yang Kan say this, but he turned his head to ask Sun Teng and Sima Ziru, but the two actually didn't know much about military affairs, Sun Teng didn't speak, Sima Ziru also had some say in this regard because he had also led troops in the north, so he said: "The king, the minister thinks that what Lord Yang said is reasonable, and we have to pick out some martial artists like this." ”
Gao Huan asked Yang Xiuzhi and Murong Shaozong's opinions, although Yang Xiuzhi did not know much about the sergeant, but he was quite respectful of the advanced and reasonable system, since there was a civil official imperial examination, then why couldn't there be a military attaché's imperial examination? That's reasonable. On the spot, he nodded and agreed, Murong Shaozong was born as a military general, and he had a lot to say about it, he was deeply worried about the uneven level of the generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, at this time, Gao Huan proposed the martial arts system was in line with his own mind, and said on the spot: "In fact, there has been such a voice in the army for a long time, for those who rely on their grandparents to fight the world and eat white food by themselves, the soldiers at the bottom have great opinions, and they will not be able to command and are not very proficient in martial arts. Death and national death. ”
The last sentence was a bit heavy, but Gao Huan was not angry, he felt that Murong Shaozong's words represented the voices of a large number of low-level soldiers, it seems that his rule looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, he can't resist scrutiny at all, he is completely nonsense, he has never managed a set of his own political management system decently, and it is not a simple matter to cross over to be a king. Gao Huan was deeply touched at this time, no matter what era personnel management is very brain-consuming, very knowledgeable, not just a person can do it well and sit firmly.
Now that everyone has deep feelings about this matter and agrees very much, Gao Huan immediately asked Yang Xiuzhi to issue an edict nationwide, and the first martial arts competition was set in June of this year, and it is now mid-March, and there are still two or three months to prepare for Cheng Yanyin, although Gao Huan does not expect too much from him in his heart.
Gao Huan and everyone were discussing matters about the Dongda Temple and the martial arts tournament in the room, and the housekeeper outside the door knocked on the door and said, "My lord, there is an urgent official document from the palace that you want to review in person." The housekeeper didn't dare to say that he would approve it immediately, for fear of being beaten. But Gao Huan is getting up with everyone, he doesn't want to be delayed by this official document, and wants to excuse himself, this is Yang Kan said: "The king might as well take a look at the official document in the palace first, we have time for these things today." ”
When Gao Huan heard the official document from the palace, he felt a little strange, so he said to the housekeeper: "Bring someone in." Saying that, the door was opened, and the housekeeper came in with a little eunuch, the little eunuch's eyebrows were clear, and he looked very pleasing to look at, and the little eunuch immediately knelt down and said as soon as he saw Gao Huan: "The slave greets the king, and meets the adults." Gao Huan walked over and asked, "Where are you the eunuch, and what official document will you send it?" ”
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and honestly waited for Gao Huan to let him calm down, how important in ancient times was to be respectful and humble, and he didn't dare to get up without an order. Gao Huan raised his hand at him, and the little eunuch got up and thanked him: "Thank you king, the small one is the head of the inner chamberlain, the henchman of the Huangmen Langguan Gao Gonggong, here is the urgent official document sent by the father-in-law to the small one, please check it out to the king." As he spoke, he took out a yellow brocade-wrapped fold from his bosom.
The people present were very strange, wasn't the head of the Huangmen Shilang's inner chamber the head of the mansion Gao Ming, why did he suddenly send a little eunuch to send some official documents. Gao Huan immediately took the fold and looked at it, and the more everyone saw him, the more their faces turned darker, and finally they even trembled with anger. Gao Huan threw the fold in his hand to the ground and said, "It's really unreasonable, it's just too deceitful!" Yang Kan hurriedly picked up the official document from the ground and flipped through it, and he felt a chill in his heart.
What's going on, it turned out that Emperor Yuan Shanjian had lost the center of gravity since Yuan Hong was executed and went into exile, and he felt more and more that this Gao Huan would one day snatch away his emperor's throne, he expected that the more he was afraid, the more he was afraid, the more he thought, and finally he had insomnia every day without thinking about tea and dinner, and the queen mother saw him like this, so she asked him when she went to bed at night. Yuan Shanjian quietly said the knot in his heart, isn't it a very simple thing for the queen to hear this, since you can hold up a Yuan Hong, you can pick up the second and third one, it depends on whether you are willing or not.
As soon as the emperor heard that he was interested, he asked the queen for advice, and the queen asked him to write a secret edict to the Yuan royal family who were outside, asking them to prepare secretly, and one day they would enter Yecheng and destroy Gao Huan Kuang to help the world. The emperor felt that it was very reasonable, so he wrote this memo to the descendants of the royal family who were divided into feudal areas: saying that Gao Huan was tyrannical and domineering in Yecheng to eliminate dissidents, slaughter court officials, and build temples with people and money, in short, he said that he was as cruel and unkind as Xia Wei Shangxuan.
But he was a bit of a tiger, not only wrote these things for the children of the royal family, but also secretly sent these notes to some ministers in the court who he considered reliable, asking them to see the situation clearly and choose a good position, and not to stand on the wrong team. Some smart ministers saw this thing and burned it directly without saying a word, but some ministers with ulterior motives deliberately handed over this piece of information to Gao Ming, ostensibly to reply to the emperor's edict, but in fact, it was to report to Gao Huan, these people are indeed cunning and cunning.
Gao Ming was frightened on the spot when he saw the folding, and hurriedly sent his henchman little eunuch to send a manuscript to the Qi Palace. Yang Kan turned around and handed it to Sun Teng after reading the recital, Sun Teng and Sima Ziru were expressionless and passed it to others, and the people in the room all finished reading this recital, these people are the core members of Gao Huan Group, and naturally they are also the target of the emperor to eradicate them in the future, at this time everyone sat together and was silent.
