0899 Good days are rare
When the Western Wei army was coming from Tongguan to the east, the Northern Qi in the east was also very lively.
This time the Northern Qi did not miss the Southern Liang incident, although the defender of Liyang agreed to Chen Ba's request to send an advance envoy to ask for an alliance, but it was only to temporarily stabilize his people, and soon the Northern Qi itself went south with Duan Shao's army, and recovered the Guangling that had been taken away before with lightning speed.
After recovering Guangling, Duan Shao left his troops to guard Murong Yan and Liu Damo in Guangling, and planned to respond to Xu Sihui of Southern Liang, who had already defected to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and led his troops back to the court. The Northern Qi court led the army south again with Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, who had unified the army to and from Huainan several times, and presided over the situation in Huainan.
Originally, things had developed to this point, and the rhythm was normal. This year can also be called a year full of harvest for the Lord Gao Yang.
In the middle of the year, Gao Yang personally led a large army to pursue the remnants of Rouran until they arrived in Muran Woye Town, and obtained countless cattle and sheep.
After the construction of the Great Wall stretching to the north is completed, the offensive and defensive control of the entire Monan region of the Northern Qi Dynasty will once again reach a new level, and all the forces on the grassland, both old and new, will be effectively controlled.
Although the strategy for the south was slightly mistaken before, and the sinister intentions of the Western Wei Dynasty in conspiring against Jiangling were not understood in advance and curbed them, the loss of Guangling and Hefei also made the previous advantageous situation in Huainan lost.
However, the next rescue was still timely, and the move of supporting the puppet Xiao Yuanming made the Southern Liang completely subordinate to the Northern Qi. Despite the occurrence of such variables as Chen Baxian's rebellion, Chen Baxian still claimed to be subordinate to the Northern Qi Dynasty and did not dare to defeat the alliance, but the Southern Liang was even more disintegrated internally, and took the opportunity to take back the important town of Guangling, which can be said to be a gain and loss, and the overall situation is good.
Within the country, Gao Yang's imperial authority was further strengthened, and the military power that was originally scattered in the hands of the nobles of Zhu Jinyang was gradually concentrated and handed over to the kings of the clan to temporarily govern, and the kings did not have the qualifications and confidence to resist his royal authority.
While the personnel structure at the upper level is becoming more stable and perfect, Gao Yang's dominance over the country is also gradually infiltrating the lower levels. The just-completed destruction of the Tao and the revival of the Buddha also means that his control over the country has been greatly strengthened from top to bottom.
In just a few years, Gao Yang has achieved many achievements that are difficult for a king to do anything in his life, and he is naturally very proud in his heart, and his words and deeds are gradually unrestrained.
Gao Yang was disgusted with the fact that the Jinyang Palace had been disturbed and destroyed by the military rebellion in the old years, and the layout of the palace itself was not majestic enough, so he ordered the original palace to be demolished and built more.
After the completion of the new Jinyang Palace, the scale is more than several times larger than before, the gorgeous palace pavilions are lined up one after another, the whole palace is luxurious and magnificent, and thus won the love of Gao Yang, when driving to Jinyang, it will be here all day long, feasting, drinking and playing all night.
Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, won the trust of Gao Yang and was given the position of chief guard, which can be described as a high authority and extremely illustrious.
But among the kings of the Gao clan, Gao Guiyan is still not the most powerful, Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, has followed Emperor Shenwu since a very early time, and he has deep prestige, and has repeatedly led the army to create meritorious deeds, and there are many protégés and former officials, both prestige and authority can be called the most in the clan.
As a rising star of the sect family, Gao Guiyan still hated being despised and treated by Gao Yue when he was a teenager, so he naturally hoped to retaliate and suppress Gao Yue.
When the new Jinyang Palace was completed, Gao Yang led a group of cronies to visit the palace with great interest, and proudly showed off: "Qing and other elders who have the scenery of Luoxia, this palace may be better than the Luoyi Ancient Garden?"
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was in high spirits, the masses naturally did not dare to disappoint the fun, and repeatedly complimented him.
But Gao Guiyan said with a smile in the rear: "Although the minister has no time under Luo, but when he crosses the Qinghe royal mansion, he often hears his subordinates praise the royal mansion as gorgeous and far superior to the Yuan family. Behind the hall and in Yong Lane, you can go straight to the front and back, but you owe the door."
When Gao Yang heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. His mind is sensitive and delicate, and he naturally will not lack attention to a clan elder like Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe. It's just that the kings of the clan need to be used to check and balance the nobles of Jinyang, so for Gao Yue
Where there is misconduct, there is also tolerance.
Although he has become more and more complacent in recent years, and his endurance is far less than that of his brother when he was alive, he thought that Gao Yue had just been ordered to lead the army to Huainan not long ago, so after hearing Gao Guiyan's accusation, he only sneered twice and did not make any more statement.
But Gao Guiyan finally seized this opportunity, and after seeing that the emperor's face had changed, he said again: "The minister lived under the Qinghe King in the old years, and when the western thieves came to disturb Jinyang, the minister once said that the Qinghe King should be prepared for the attack on Jinyang Palace, but the Qinghe King said to himself that my family lives in the south of the city, so why worry about the gains and losses of the North Palace, and I didn't go to the rescue!"
"That's enough!"
After Gao Yang heard this, his expression became even more ugly, and he suddenly roared angrily, and then commanded loudly: "Stop where the army is stationed in the south, summon the king of Qinghe to return to the country quickly, and the above party king will lead the metropolitan governor Xiao Liang and the southerner Xiao retreat to the south to replace him!"
When such a thing happened, Gao Yang was naturally not in the mood to visit the garden and enjoy the scenery again, so he turned back to the palace room to set up a banquet and drink freely, and used female music to help the fun.
But the women in the palace are more than elegant and elegant, after all, they are not as good as Luli advocating excellent and debauched cola, and it just so happens that the palace concubine Xue herself is from the background of a folk advocate woman, and she was included in the harem because of her moving color art.
Concubine Xue was also quite worried when she saw Gao Yang's upset, so she whispered: "The concubine has a sister, and the color art is better than the concubine. If Your Majesty leaves the palace, he will be happy, and the concubines and sisters will be happy in the palace."
When Gao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but be moved. He has a perverse temperament, he is not an ordinary son who lives in a simple place, and he has an interest in his heart, even if he arranges a ceremonial drive, he takes this favorite concubine to the outside of the palace.
The Xue family was already a low-class advocate family, and it was known among the princes because of women's erotic arts, but today there was a holy car of His Majesty the Emperor to his house, and the whole family was also flattered, trembling for fear of being rude.
Gao Yang entered the workshop just to find color, and naturally he didn't care if the family was polite or not, when he saw that Xue Concubine's sister was really a beautiful and plump woman, he was also quite satisfied, and immediately expelled the idlers and others from the house, and he was playing and happy in the hall *** This pair of sisters.
The sister of the Xue family has been in the industry for a longer time, and she likes that Ah Mei has brought such a splash of wealth to the family, which is naturally very welcoming to His Majesty the Emperor.
Gao Yangguan saw that although this woman only advocated excellence, she was good at coping and being clever and decent, and she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, so she smiled and said, "Where did my sister learn this dexterous advocacy?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine used to serve the king of Qinghe......
When Sister Xue heard this question, she answered cautiously.
When Gao Yang heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, but now that he was interested, he didn't have a seizure, but he lashed out even more.
After the pleasure, there was a charming atmosphere in this Xue family's guest hall, Gao Yang hugged the pair of Xue sisters left and right, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This night is happy, a good day is rare, what reward do you want your sister wants?"
That Xue sister's sister Chenghuan was happy all night, and felt that she had become familiar with this supreme king, and after hearing this, she smiled coquettishly and said: "The concubine's family was originally an advocate, and it has always been coldly regarded by the Lu, but now it is fortunate to be favored by the king, but the disciples in the market do not know that they have this honor. If you have to be an official, no one will dare to deceive you!"
Gao Yang's eyes suddenly became colder when he heard this, but he still said in the same tone, "What job do you want?"
Sister Xue was just a casual remark of teasing and inviting pets, but she didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to really respond, and she was pleasantly surprised in her heart, so she hurriedly turned over and worshipped: "The concubine is ignorant of women's flow, how do you know whether the official position is noble, but when you hear that there is an official of Situ, everyone is noble, if you can ask for the appointment of your father......
"Cheap slave dog guts, how dare you despise my name so much! Situ Chao's drama is not a prostitute's play!"
When Gao Yang heard this, he jumped up from the couch naked, grabbed the woman's long hair and threw it hard, and fell into the hall.
While ordering the attendants who poured in outside the door to drag the concubine out of the house, he also asked the stupid and greedy woman to hang in the hall, ignoring the wailing and begging of others, sawed it here with his own hands, and then ignored the blood stained around him, and walked out of the hall naked, laughing into the street.
Soon after, Gao Yue was recalled from the expedition to Yecheng
, Gao Yang did not let people recruit him to Jinyang, but only ordered Gao Guiyan to go to Yecheng and his house to question him, and then Gao Yue committed suicide by drinking.
With the death of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, the four nobles of the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time, either died of natural causes, or were excluded and suppressed, and even suffered capital punishment, none of them survived. This incident not only removed the influence left over from the personnel of the previous dynasty, but also allowed Gao Yang to establish absolute authority in the clan, and no close relatives of the clan dared to claim to be the elder of the clan in front of him.
Soon, the news of the arrival of the Western Wei Dynasty also reached Jinyang, and Gao Yang ordered Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, to lead the vanguard to Heluo to inspect and defend the enemy, and on the other hand, he summoned the elite of Jinyang, intending to personally come south to meet and resist the enemy.
