Just when Li Tai's brother-in-law was hanging at home and felt what it means to be a father's love, there were also people in the Eastern Dynasty who felt difficult because they lost their father's protection and care.

In recent years, the season has become quite warm, for example, in March last year, the fields were already lush with vegetation and a late spring scene, and even farmers were already harvesting early planted and harvested early in the fields.

However, in March this year, I don't know if the seasonal weather really came in, or because of the tense personnel atmosphere, it was much more depressed than in previous years. The people of Jinyang, who have not heard of military affairs for many years, are now a little more noisy, and even the cultivation of land is not as active as in previous years.

As for Jinyang City, the previous atmosphere of strict road prevention and prohibition has not changed. And because of the news of Hou Jing's rebellion in Henan, some of the sons and daughters of the noble families of Jinyang Xun, who usually liked to swagger through the market because of their power, have now been greatly restrained, and they all have their tails between their tails and behave as people, not daring to cause trouble in such a sensitive season.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, due to the entry of the prince Gao Cheng, many personnel arrangements are also very different from those years, especially the strength of the guards has been greatly strengthened, and the guards with swords and armor can be seen everywhere in the field of vision.

In the Bafu Straight Hall, all kinds of official documents are stacked on the eucalyptus head, although the speed of the prince of Fu Eucalyptus is extremely fast, but it still can't catch up with the speed of the official documents being presented into the hall, and the eucalyptus official documents are still visible to the naked eye, which shows that there have been many military and political affairs at home and abroad since the recent period.

Bang!

A muffled sound sounded behind the pile of documents, and Chen Yuankang, Zhao Yanshen and others in the hall stood up one after another, raised their heads and looked at the upper seats.

The stacked official documents collapsed, revealing the annoyed face of the prince Gao Cheng, who was angry with Tie Qing, only to see him grab a document and tear it to pieces, and said hatefully, "Please kill Cui Xian again!" Are these thieves going to take advantage of the situation to humiliate me, or do they want to serve as the tongue of the lame slave in the court!"

"Son, please stop your anger, please stop your anger!"

Chen Yuankang and the others saw that the prince was a little out of shape in annoyance, and he was busy and admonished.

Especially Chen Yuankang, as one of the few subordinates here who knew that King Gao was dead, knew more and more in his heart what kind of huge pressure the prince was under now, and it was inevitable to occasionally have such angry gaffes.

It's just that seeing that the world's out-of-control state has become more and more frequent recently, Chen Yuankang, as one of his confidants, also knows a lot about Gao Cheng's temperament, and knows that this is a sign that he is about to reach the limit of bearing, and he is also quite worried about this.

"The king Kuang Ji Sheji, and the royal family of the public awards, became this business. For example, although it is still not peaceful today, it is also complete and the punishment order is clear. This is not only the basis for the king to rule the heroes and the royal road, but also the magic weapon for the son to inherit the ancestral industry and create brilliance. Now, if you condemn a minister because of the evil words and slander of the thieves, you will destroy me and please the thief, and the wise will not take it."

Hearing Chen Yuankang's words, the anger on Gao Cheng's face gradually subsided, his breathing gradually became steady, and he brushed off the scraps of paper that had been sprinkled on the eucalyptus, and then sneered: "The generals are already stubborn, and they take advantage of this lame slave thief to show their strength even more, intending to bully the young master. If I mess with myself because of this, I will be playing tricks against their daughters!"

Having said that, Hou Jing was chaotic outside, and the generals were disrespectful inside, and this pressure also made Gao Cheng a little breathless.

After a short period of silence, he said again: "The lame slaves are causing trouble in Henan, and it is a trouble. But because of its thief state and clear distinction between friend and foe, it is not difficult to prevent it. On the contrary, it is the thief of speculation in the country who does not know where to hide, and this is the real trouble of the henchmen.

Now that the situation in Jinyang is still stable, the grace of the king's soldiers for many years can ensure that the soldiers here do not dare to rebel and follow the chaos. However, the prefectures outside the province are still not optimistic, especially the money and grain in Hebei, and the people must not be surprised by the peace of the people. I want to inspect the Hebei Prefectures, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanshen and several other vassals of the overlord couldn't help but look embarrassed, now this situation, even if King Gao is still well, it is a bit tricky, now that King Gao is not out, the prince is going to travel again, and many personnel anxiety in the mansion will inevitably fall on them.

Several of them did not dare to speak easily because they had only been working with the prince for a short time, and the current situation was mostly obscure.

Chen Yuankang echoed again: "Since ancient times, Fan

The establishment of chaos has no merit to be achieved. Today, the thief is restless in Henan, and although there is no pain with the people of Hebei, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious. If the prince of the world can personally look at the inspection, calm the people and calm the realm, collect their goods and raise their troops, prevent trouble before it happens, and prevent disasters beyond the river, it can be said that he can count them in one fell swoop, and it is better than sitting in the middle of the house."

Now Gao Cheng is facing a very embarrassing situation, that is, although his father left him a rich accumulation of personnel in the Jinyang Overlordship, he cannot effectively inherit and flexibly transfer.

When it comes to personal ability, Gao Cheng is naturally sufficient, he joined the auxiliary government of Yedu when he was a teenager, and suppressed the four nobles of Yedu one by one, so as to build a healthier government order. Up to now, Yedu's military and political affairs are all under the control of others, and they rarely even need the support of the Jinyang overlord.

But here in Jinyang Bafu, although he is Gao Huan's son, he also has disadvantages such as shallow qualifications, young seniority, and unfamiliar personnel. A group of powerful ministers and generals inside and outside, those with more radical attitudes directly raised banners and rebelled like Hou Jing, and those with more restrained attitudes also disobeyed and refused to obey orders, and even joined forces to exert pressure on him.

[In view of the general environment,

Hou Jing has already rebelled in the first month, and in the past nearly two months, Gao Cheng has also tried to organize counterinsurgency matters, or convene the generals to discuss together, or summon the veterans one by one to ask for advice, but most of them take care of him left and right, and refuse to directly express his position to send troops.

Gao Cheng knew that these generals were still accustomed to the previous Jinyang overlord's command mode, and his prestige in the Yedu Imperial Court was actually lacking in deterrence in front of these fierce generals. After all, he can't perfectly replace his father, otherwise there would be no such thing as Hou Jing's rebellion.

In the past period of time, the Jinyang Overlord has not come out, as if he has turned a blind eye to the rebellion in Henan, this is naturally not Gao Cheng's weakness and cowardice, but he has been trying to compete with the generals of the Jinyang Overlord.

And in the process of pulling and probing each other, Gao Cheng can also feel that these veterans may not be as ambitious as Hou Jing and unwilling to be ruled by him, but just hope to fight for more concessions and privileges from him.

For example, Hu Lujin, who was called "sexually straightforward" by his father before his death, vaguely proposed in several conversations that the military affairs of the previous hegemony were always compared to the cavalry and foreign soldiers, and that was because the prestige of the king was unparalleled and he obeyed from top to bottom. But now that the son of the world has taken over the affairs of the government, I am afraid that he will not have the ability to manage the complicated affairs with simplicity.

To put it bluntly, you have the right to score! In other words, these old arms and legs have been coiled by his father Gao Huan for a long time, and when he comes to the stage, he wants to stretch out.

Gao Cheng is talented, smart and skilled, and his own personality is not obedient, so he will naturally not be willing to be restrained by this. After trying it and realizing that Jinyang's personnel cooperation was not positive enough, he also had other ideas in his heart.

During this time, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the Jinyang Tyrant's Mansion, and Gao Cheng also realized that after last year's Battle of Yubi, the current Jinyang Tyrant's Mansion was tired and timid, and the treasury was empty, and the situation was really not optimistic.

He proposed to personally go out to patrol the prefectures today, the first is to appease and stabilize the morale of the Xianbei people in the six prefectures of Hebei, and ensure that these soldiers of the six states will not be tempted by the instigation of Hou Jing's rebels.

The second is to investigate and collect the money and grain taxes from the states, and directly pinch the foundation of all personnel maintenance operations in Jinyang, so that those fierce generals will not dare to act rashly even if they have any plans.

The third is to enter Yedu, with his deep prestige and stronger control in the court, first use the Yedu Liufang forbidden army to go south to quell the rebellion, only need to frustrate the spirit of Hou Jing's rebels for a while, then the situation in Jinyang is bound to be greatly alleviated.

He has also discussed this series of strategies with Chen Yuankang for a long time. It's just that these subordinate officials in the mansion are obviously not enough to stabilize the situation of the Jinyang Mansion, and for those veterans, Gao Cheng has some reservations in his heart, even if he wants to use them, he can't appoint them with full authority, so he sent people to Yedu a few days ago to recall his cousin Duan Shaolai to sit in the Mansion.

Now that Duan Shao is about to arrive in Jinyang, Gao Cheng confided in Zhao Yanshen and other subordinate officials a little about his plan, so that they can be mentally prepared and be able to cooperate with Duan Shao to stabilize the situation here.

"Go and summon Cui Changru!"

After Gao Cheng revealed his plan to the leftists, he opened again

Mouth commanded.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a large figure and a magnificent appearance but a little sluggish spirit was introduced, which was Cui Changru, who was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe as Gao Cheng said.

Qinghe Cui family since Cui Hao has the reputation of the first family in Hebei, Cui Yu was born in a famous family, and he is also famous in Hebei, and because of the old Xun of Xindu Jianyi, he is a representative figure in the Hebei family today, and his influence is higher than that of Gao Cheng's second Cui in the middle of the court.

Therefore, Cui Yu has always been arrogant and arrogant, and his eyes are above the top, but now he is very respectful to the prince, and he does not see the usual arrogance.

"Cousins and disciples have already been settled, right?"

Gao Cheng saw that Cui Yu's posture was so upright and respectful, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, so he asked with a smile.

When Cui Yu heard this, his face suddenly became bitter, but he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the prince of the world took care of him and opened the net, and he did not increase the punishment because of the breeding of giants. Now that the elders are out of school, and the young are enrolled, Weng Fei has to be raised, and the young disciple Li Tai knows that he has received this kindness, and he does not secretly have the heart of righteousness, and he is born in vain!"

When Gao Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, "This good encounter is not for the young disciple of Guanxi, but for Cui Qing. But if this disciple really comes to his senses and returns to righteousness, he can be given the position of Governor of the Gate of Luo, who is difficult to enter."
