Chapter 174: Passing through Huangzhou

Ji Xiancheng nodded and drank a glass of wine, Liu Er hurriedly poured him another glass, Gao Huaiyuan also raised his neck and drank a glass, put the wine glass down, but Liu Er did not pour it for him immediately, but persuaded: The official should eat something first! It's not good for you to drink on an empty stomach!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed, Liu Er's gentleness made him feel warm in his heart again, and he gestured to Liu Er with a grateful gaze, picked up the chopsticks and put the food into his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Life has unsatisfactory places, you think about the people of the world, but the common people only see in front of them, they can't see as far as you, and it is inevitable to be bewitched, many things in this world are unspeakable! In the eyes of the people, this time is your fault, if you deal with them, then the old man will be disappointed in you!

The old man also knows that you have been wronged in the past few years, but if you look at it now, you are about to achieve your goal, isn't your effort worth it? It's okay to vent, after all, they deserve to die and can't complain about you, but you can't lose your heart and become a murderous person, this is where the old man worries about you!

Gao Huaiyuan took another bite of food, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Ji Xianchengdao: After I came back tonight, I was thinking about this matter, although I am a military general, but I have never done anything evil for a long time, although for my purposes, I participated in the battle for the succession this time, but ask myself, I am still thinking about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, why do these people hate me so much?

After Ji Xiancheng heard Gao Huaiyuan's words, he smiled and said: It seems that Huaiyuan is a mediocre person who disturbs himself! If you do your own thing, why should the world be grateful to you? People's hearts have their own account books, can you control what people in the world think? Besides, according to the old man's view, it is not you who people in the world hate, but Shi Thief, and what you are doing now, in the eyes of people, is not doing things for Shi Miyuan? Therefore, in the eyes of many, you are a tiger fighter, and this is why these people want to ambush you!

In time, when you put things in order and eliminate the chaotic party, and then you look at the world, will the people still treat you like this?

This sentence was said to Gao Huaiyuan's heart, which made him feel relieved, so he immediately took the wine jug, filled it with Ji Xiancheng, and finally showed a smile and said: Mr. Ji will really persuade me! I want to toast you today, otherwise, I'm afraid that today's events will be difficult for me to let go of in this life!

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's expression, Liu Er and Ji Xiancheng also smiled, and under Liu Er's service, Gao Huaiyuan finished eating, and sat down with Ji Xiancheng to drink.

Under the guidance of Ji Xiancheng, Gao Huaiyuan gradually walked out of the haze of today's events, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he was waiting to give the order to sail, Li Ruohu reported outside: Lord Qiqi Palace, Changxing Zhixian is asking to see you on the shore!

Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: That's it! You go and tell them that this matter is over, and please know that the county will properly settle those orphans and widows, and the rest of the escapees will not be investigated! Tell him that the magistrate will not blame them for the magistrate, and let them rest assured! We're going to set sail now, and we're not going to stay here!"

So the three official ships left a group of stunned magistrates, sailed into Taihu Lake again and lost in the direction of Yangzhou, and even Suzhou did not stop.

Gao Jian has received the news that Gao Huaiyuan is going to pass by here in Yangzhou in advance, as a father, he can now say that he is extremely satisfied with Gao Huaiyuan, he is higher than him as an official, and now even his father has to rely on his son to maintain it in the court, otherwise, he may not be a little judge somewhere now!

And vaguely, he also felt that Gao Huaiyuan was hiding a lot of things behind him that he didn't know, and he was even likely to have some contact with the Northern Army, although he didn't know why Gao Huaiyuan did this, but as a father, he was still happy to help his competitive son.

As for his second son Gao Huairen now, after the lesson of the original incident, he also began to turn back, and now he is doing quite steadily with Gao Huaiyuan's fleet, and from time to time he will go to Yangzhou to visit his father and his own wife and children, the changes are so big that people can't believe it, and Gao Huairen's current situation can be said to be inseparable from Gao Huaiyuan, if Gao Huaiyuan saw Gao Huairen again, a little bit intolerable to him, God knows where Gao Huairen will stay and suffer at this time!

So this time, when he heard that Gao Huaiyuan had taken leave to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Gao Jian was overjoyed and sent someone to drive a boat in advance to meet Gao Huaiyuan's official ship in the canal.

When the two met at the Yangzhou wharf, Gao Jian looked at Gao Huaiyuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, his lips trembled with excitement, and he said after a while: Coming? Good! It's coming!

Gao Huaiyuan laughed after hearing this, and at this time, Liu Er also appeared behind Gao Huaiyuan in a woman's outfit and saluted Gao Jian as a daughter-in-law.

Gao Jian saw that Liu Er had already become a young woman with proper manners, although he was reluctant to marry Gao Huaiyuan at the beginning, but now it seems that Liu Er married Gao Huaiyuan did not block his career, and Gao Huaiyuan's promotion in the past two years can be called a flying speed, and now when he sees Liu Er again, Gao Jian is a little embarrassed, and secretly thinks in his heart, Gao Huaiyuan insisted on marrying Liu Er, it seems that he still has a vision, at least Liu Er has the life of a prosperous husband, which is better than marrying a woman from an official family, It's a little more important.

So Gao Jian put down his body and called Liu Er a bride, which was an official recognition of Liu Er's identity in the Gao family.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan is wearing a casual dress today instead of wearing an official uniform is because his current grade exceeds Gao Jian's, with the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, low-grade officials have to salute when they see high-grade officials, which will make Gao Jian very embarrassed, so he specially passed on a casual clothes, which also made Gao Jian's face look better.

After Gao Huaiyuan and Gao Jian exchanged pleasantries, they looked around at Gao Jian's entourage and asked strangely: Daddy, why didn't you see Brother Zhao?

Gao Jian knew that Gao Huaiyuan was asking Zhao Fan, so he immediately smiled and said: Zhao Fan is about to ask me to thank you on his behalf! He has been sentenced to Yangzhou for more than two years, fortunately, you are active for him in Beijing, and now he has gone to Gwangju with a bachelor of Zhimi Pavilion and Quanzhiguangzhou, and now he should have gone to Gwangju to take up his post, and you can't see him this time!

Gao Huaiyuan then remembered that some time ago, after the Song army recovered Gwangju (Huangchuan), he wanted to send someone to Quanzhi Gwangju, and many people in the court were reluctant to go there, because it was at the junction with the Jin State, and he didn't know when the Jin State would turn his face with the Southern Song Dynasty again, and then Gwangju would become a battlefield that would bear the brunt, so Gao Huaiyuan thought of Zhao Fan, thinking that Zhao Fan's father Zhao Fang was the ambassador of Jingxi, and Gwangju was the north gate of Jingxi, so he proposed Zhao Fan's name to Xue Ji without thinking. So what they didn't expect was that in the end, Shi Miyuan and they really agreed to this matter, and sent Zhao Fan to Gwangju and became the governor of Gwangju, which is really his credit!

Gao Jian did not set up a banquet in the restaurant, but directly set up a banquet in the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect to entertain Gao Huaiyuan, and the two of them did not invite the local gentry, only the two of them plus Ji Xiancheng and three people talked about the wine.

Gao Jian was very grateful to Ji Xiancheng, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan could come to this point, and Ji Xiancheng's assistant had an inseparable relationship, and he toasted Ji Xiancheng again and again during the banquet, now there are only three of them here, but there is no need to worry about others learning Ji Xiancheng's identity, Ji Xiancheng also feels very cordial when he sees Gao Jian again, after all, Gao Jian was also kind to him back then, so the three of them are quite happy to get along.

And it was only now that Gao Jian finally understood Gao Huaiyuan's ideals, and when he heard that Gao Huaiyuan would deal with Shi Miyuan in the future, Gao Jian was so shocked that he almost didn't fall to the ground, and exclaimed: Why are you so bold? Shi Xiang can now be said to be more powerful after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, how can you fight him? Isn't this looking for death?

Gao Huaiyuan knew that Gao Jian would inevitably be so surprised, so he solemnly asked Gao Jian: So what should the child do with what his father saw?

Gao Jian couldn't help but be a little speechless, he also knew that after the current saint ascended the throne, he was basically overtaken by Shi Miyuan, and the current saint is young and vigorous, and he will never be willing to let the imperial power fall into the hands of others, and it is a matter of time before he competes for power with Shi Miyuan, and Gao Huaiyuan's current status and identity are indeed very embarrassing, on the one hand, the emperor is small, and on the other hand, he is a powerful minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, which is really a bad choice.

And Gao Huaiyuan's next words made Gao Jian understand: Father, please think about it, Shi Miyuan is now in his sixties, how long can he still be in charge of the government, if the child is watching from the wall this time, as long as Shi Miyuan dies, can His Majesty not clear the history of the DPRK and China? So what will happen to the child?

The power dispute in the court must have been understood by my father, and few people could be the wall-riding faction, and the child was a good friend of His Majesty in his youth, if he didn't even help His Majesty, wouldn't it make His Majesty feel cold?

After Gao Jian heard this, he suddenly had nothing to say, and after being silent for a long time, he still said: Then my father can't control you in this matter, and I hope that Mr. Ji can continue to assist San Lang, don't let San Lang cause a big disaster!

Ji Xiancheng stroked the beard on his chin and smiled: Lord Gao is too underestimated Huaiyuan now, with Huaiyuan's current mind, even if the old man is not by his side, Huaiyuan can't make any big mistakes, but Lord Gao can rest assured, Ji will help Huaiyuan as always!

Chapter 174 Passing through Huangzhou

Gao Jian couldn't help it, so he left the matter behind and asked why Gao Huaiyuan was injured, Gao Huaiyuan simply told Gao Jian about the attack on Taihu Lake, which made Gao Jian feel very shocked, and slapped the table and scolded: "Bold!" Too bold! You are now an official of the imperial court, and they dare to ambush you, you are really going to rebel! Such people must not be spared, and they must be exterminated. ”

Gao Huaiyuan remembered the slaughter of the village he made by the Taihu Lake that night, sighed and didn't say anything more, and after the three of them were silent for a while, they pulled the topic back to the situation in Beijing.

Gao Jian thought about it and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Now that you are a father, there is nothing to help you, you can handle the affairs in the capital properly!" But you have to remember not to be rash, tired of our Gao family and not able to die well, I only have this one request! ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed, and then talked about Li Quanjun in the north, in the past few days, he was on the road, and he didn't hear the news from Li Quan's side, so he was a little worried.

"Li Quannai is a horseman, only know the speculation drill camp, some time ago when the King of Ji rebellion, his army pressed the border, a look at the defeat of the King of Ji, he immediately changed his face, and now turned around and went to fight with the Flying Tiger Army in the Northern Army, I heard that the two armies in Mengyin launched a fierce battle, the Flying Tiger Army is not easy to provoke, on the one hand in Mengyin withstood the onslaught of Li Quan's army, on the other hand, in Haizhou sent troops, straight down to Guanyun, and beat Li Quan's army to the ground, and now I heard that the main general of the Flying Tiger Army, Fu Daquan, conquered Guanyun County, began to march towards Shuyang, Shuyang is the gateway to Chuzhou, Li Quan is afraid that he will not be able to return to support Shuyang, and I also heard that Peng Yibin in the Northern Army has also led troops south, sent troops from Tai'an Prefecture, and coerced Li Quan's army on the flank, so this time, he Li Quan may not be able to please again!

Speaking of this Li Quan, I am angry, Yangzhou has nothing to do, but because of him, Yangzhou is also very nervous, I used to get your news, I had to send someone to organize the township in Yangzhou to practice martial arts, I am afraid that Li Quan will not know when to turn against our Great Song Dynasty, I will bear the brunt of the attack here, and I have to guard against it! Gao Jianjian immediately told Gao Huaiyuan what he had heard, and at the same time secretly observed Gao Huaiyuan's expression.

Really Gao Huaiyuan was not guarding against Gao Jian, after listening to these news, he showed a relieved expression, and said in his heart It seems that Zhou Jun and Fu Daquan still did what he ordered, and Li Quan is afraid that this time he is going to steal chickens and rice.

After Gao Jian saw Gao Huaiyuan's expression, he was even more sure that Gao Huaiyuan must have some connection with this Flying Tiger Army, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan: "San Lang, do you have something to hide from me?" What does this Flying Tiger have to do with you? Won't you tell Daddy? ”

Ji Xiancheng also showed a look of watching a good show, and the expression on his face was obviously to see what else you had to say this time! Because Ji Xiancheng is also a good person, he has already heard about the Flying Tiger Army, and after hearing that the Flying Tiger Army has another general named Zhou Jun, he is even more sure that the Flying Tiger Army is a soldier and horse secretly raised by Gao Huaiyuan, but Ji Xiancheng has never asked Gao Huaiyuan about this matter, he just wants to see what Gao Huaiyuan wants to do with such a layout.

Gao Huaiyuan also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he confided in Gao Jian and Ji Xiancheng about the Flying Tiger Army.

"Please forgive me for hiding it, because after all, some of this matter can't be put on the table! In fact, I have already seen Li Quan's wolf ambition, he just wants to be a king of Shandong in Jingdong, and he has long forgotten the purpose of the original army! And it is only a matter of time before Li Quan and our Great Song Dynasty turn against each other, and it can be seen from the matter of Xu Guo that he thinks in his heart, and Li Quan's current thoughts can be said to be known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart.

Therefore, I secretly supported the Flying Tiger Army, and grew up in the Jingdong area, that is, to restrain Li Quan with the Northern Army, as for Peng Yibin, I did not have any dealings with him, but Peng Yibin is a righteous person, with him and the Flying Tiger Army, you can prevent the Mongol army from invading south into Shandong and other places in the region, so that one day in the future, when the Mongol army and the Great Song Dynasty turn against each other, at least Huaidong will not be threatened by the Mongols!

And nowadays, among the Flying Tiger Army, the child has also arranged for many of his subordinates to do things there, that is, to train a strong army for the Great Song Dynasty there, and once the time is used one day, it can contain a large number of troops of the Mongolian army. Please believe me, father and Mr. Ji! ”

After Gao Huaiyuan said that, Gao Jian was taken aback, it turned out that Gao Huaiyuan really had an inextricable relationship with the Flying Tiger Army, and it could even be said that the Flying Tiger Army was one of his private soldiers, so in this era, it can be said that it is a great rebellion, once it is leaked out, their Gao family is afraid that they will have to roll up the cover and run away, and take refuge in the territory of the Jingdong Flying Tiger Army!

And after Ji Xiancheng heard it, he was also surprised, on the one hand, he was surprised by Gao Huaiyuan's audacity, and on the other hand, he was surprised by Gao Huaiyuan's foresight, it can be said that Gao Huaiyuan had already started this arrangement, and this was actually done in order to deal with the southern invasion of the Mongolian army in advance.

After drinking a wine this night, Gao Huaiyuan simply stunned Gao Jian, he never thought that the stupid son he used to be has grown to such an extent now, whether it is vision or courage, he doesn't know how many times more than his father, he no longer dares to see Gao Huaiyuan as an ignorant child, and finally said to Gao Huaiyuan: "In this case, Dad has nothing to say, I can help you now, only here, as much as possible to provide all kinds of convenience for the Flying Tiger Army, This is also the only thing your father and I can do for you, for the sake of our Gao family's future, your father and I will be bold this time! As long as you help Dad secretly support him in the capital, let Dad work here for a few more years, I hope I can do more things for you! ”

Gao Huaiyuan did not stay in Yangzhou for a long time, only stayed for one day, and then boarded the boat again along the Yangtze River upstream, towards the direction of Chuzhou, this trip to Yangzhou, so that he gained a lot, at least with the support of his father, and the Flying Tiger Army in Yangzhou to purchase materials, at least one more layer of protection.

What makes him happiest is not this, but the fact that he entered Gao Jian's home in Yangzhou, Gao Jian has been in turmoil and incest since the concubine Li and his eldest son Gao Huailiang have had a mess and incest, and starved Li to death, he has not continued to marry a concubine, and there are only a few ladies left in the family, and now these people hear about Gao Huaiyuan's matter, where do they dare to underestimate him, as soon as Gao Huaiyuan enters the house, these women can't wait for Gao Huaiyuan to be their son, and treat Gao Huaiyuan and Liu Er as guests, Gao Huaiyuan and they can't get stammered, but it couldn't be better for Liu'er, everyone took out the good things at the bottom of the box and gave them to Liu'er as a dowry for Liu'er, especially Gao Huairen's mother Quan, but also because of Gao Huairen, she was grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, if it weren't for her identity, she even wanted to recognize Liu'er as her goddaughter.

This made Liu Er very happy, after the Gao family suffered so many grievances, she was also angry because of Gao Huaiyuan, and Liu Er's happiness was also Gao Huaiyuan's happiness, and he also left the grievances he had suffered in Gao Mansion behind.

There is nothing to explain along the way, since the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu succeeded to the throne, the Song and Jin countries will truce and strike the war, the Yangtze River has resumed its former busyness, the ships are like carp across the river, shuttling back and forth on the river, making people sigh to see, if there is no military disaster, the Southern Song Dynasty will develop according to this situation, I really don't know what China will become after a few hundred years, when I think of this, Gao Huaiyuan will no longer feel aggrieved that he has suffered so much over the years, and has suffered so much. Now he only thinks about promoting history, turning the wheel of history around, maintaining the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty, and doing more for the Han people.

Gao Huaiyuan is now a prominent official in the imperial court, and the official ship they take is also a unique official ship in Beijing, and the place they pass will inevitably attract officials from all over the world to come to visit, and Gao Huaiyuan is too lazy to delay time for this kind of entertainment, and along the way he ordered the sailors to speed up the journey, minimize the docking time, and push off any officials' banquets, on the grounds that it is inconvenient to disturb the place, and push off all entertainment.

Even so, this way back to Daye, the ship still received a lot of valuable gifts, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about these things, from time to time he took them out to reward his subordinates and sailors, so that these people were all overjoyed, and rushed forward even harder, so that the water journey that would have taken six or seven days to complete only took four days to arrive in the Chuzhou area.

After Gao Huaiyuan arrived on the Jingxi River, he did not immediately go to Chuzhou to land, but first landed in Huangzhou, disembarked in Huangzhou, and lived in the official post house of Huangzhou.

Speaking of Huangzhou, Gao Huaiyuan is still fresh in his memory, Huangzhou can be regarded as the place where he became famous, the battle of Huangzhou was later included in the list of great victories in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that most of the generals in the army were able to understand the war, and also knew Gao Huaiyuan's name, and Huangzhou Zhizhou was very excited to take the civil and military officials of Huangzhou to the post house to see Gao Huaiyuan, and to set up a banquet in the post house to entertain Gao Huaiyuan and his party.
