Chapter 4: Father and Son
On December 13, Er Zhuzhao learned that the Hexi thief Shuai Douling Bubo had gone south to attack Xiurong (Xinzhou, Shanxi), and his troops threatened Jinyang.
Immediately appointed Er Zhu Shilong and others to stay in Luoyang, and led the army back to the north by himself.
After returning to Jinyang, he only had a short rest, and hurriedly sent troops to fight with Bubo in Sudouling.
On December 23, Erzhu Zhaoshu was invincible, and it was the time of anxiety, and Gao Huan's letter was also delivered to the camp in due course.
"The Son of Heaven ambushed and killed Tianzhu, and the general avenged Tianzhu and captured the Son of Heaven, which is understandable.
However, the Son of Heaven is expected by the public, and the scholars return to their hearts, and the general must not have the idea of killing the king.
In the past, the general of Tianzhu slaughtered courtiers in Heyin, although the world was terrified, but afterwards he had to posthumously seal his official position to appease people's hearts.
The general's prestige is not as good as that of Tianzhu, and his prestige has not yet been established, He Liuhun implored the general to think deeply. ”
A look of putting himself in Er Zhuzhao's shoes jumped on the paper.
Erzhu Zhao closed the letter and sighed:
"He Liuhun loves me."
Under the agitation of the mood, he ordered Yuanzi Youhan to be killed in the third-level Buddhist temple in Jinyang at the age of twenty-four.
Of course, Er Zhuzhao has his own reasons, as Gao Huan said, Er Zhurong slaughtered more than 2,000 people in Heyin, making the world fearful.
His prestige is not as good as Er Zhurong, and when the war is unfavorable, he should kill people to establish his authority, as for the consequences of killing the king, he just abolished the emperor, and the incident in Heyin did not shake Er Zhurong's status.
What's more, Yuan Ziyu is deeply popular and can't stay for a long time.
Yuan Ziyou couldn't figure it out until he died, how could Yuan Wei He De, there would be a loyal minister like Gao Huan, a letter of advice to save his life, and persuade him to die alive.
However, Erzhuzhao did not know that the reason why Erzhurong slaughtered the courtiers was because the benefits were more obvious than the calamities.
A large number of official positions were vacant, and all the subordinate generals were promoted to five levels in a row, which not only stabilized their basic base, but also caused the power of the Erzhu clan to expand rapidly.
......
Jeongju White Horse City.
Gao Huan learned the news that Yuan Ziyou was dead, and received a letter from Er Zhuzhao asking for help, so he summoned his henchmen to discuss whether to send troops to rescue.
Once Erzhu Zhao is defeated by the thieves in Hexi, he will send troops to capture Jinyang in one fell swoop.
Or in favor of the rescue, grace Ur Zhu Zhao.
But in the past, Gao Cheng, who was silent on Gao Huan's left and right, actually spoke amazingly, and put forward the six-character policy of 'go slowly, wait and see', which can not only block the mouths of others, but also wait and see the situation and wait for the opportunity to move.
This suggestion is the most pleasing to everyone, and I immediately said to everyone: This is the unicorn that God has given me.
Uncle Duan Rong even praised: The wealth of our children and grandchildren is guaranteed.
attracted praise from everyone.
In this era of father-son succession, the ability of the successor determines the duration of the foundation.
They worked hard with Gao Huan to start a business, what they wanted was to have a rich family business to pass on to their children and grandchildren, Gao Cheng, as the eldest son of Gao Huan, showed his ability, not only will not be hated, but can inspire people.
Before he left the meeting hall, Lou Zhao couldn't help but hug Gao Cheng proudly.
"If Ah Hui is not bestowed by Tianzi, how can he be so smart."
As the saying goes, the closest thing is my uncle, Gao Cheng has had a close relationship with Lou Zhao since he was a child.
Gao Cheng is still humble:
"Uncle praised it falsely, it was all because of my mother's careful teaching."
While the uncle and nephew were talking, Duan Rong leaned closer and said meaningfully:
"Ah Hui, now in troubled times, most of the people who stir up the storm are Beizhen martial artists, and wisdom alone is not enough to convince the public, you don't want to waste martial arts, that is the foundation of your life."
"Thank you uncle for reminding me, Ah Hui has been practicing riding and archery with Cousin Tiefa, and I don't dare to slack off for a day, and I will go north with my father tomorrow, and I will inevitably disturb my cousin."
Gao clarified that Chu Duan Rong must have known about him learning to ride and shoot with Duan Shao, and reminded him today just to get closer to his cousin.
Sure enough, Duan Rong nodded with satisfaction:
"Gao Gong has a good son."
Lou Zhao corrected on the side:
"Brother-in-law's words are not right, you and I have a good nephew."
Laugh out loud.
Everyone separated, Lou Zhao and Duan Rong went to arrange the dispatch of troops tomorrow, and Gao Cheng was also called by Lou Zhaojun.
"What is He Liuhun's plan, you are only ten years old, so I asked you to go out with the army, there are no eyes for arrows on the battlefield, if there is any damage, what is the use of him He Liuhun regretting it."
"Mother don't want to anger Grandpa, it's the child who invited Ying to go north, and Ah Hui is just using this to familiarize himself with military affairs, not to fight, so Mother doesn't need to worry."
"Why do you have a restless heart like your grandfather."
"It is precisely because of this restless heart that I can keep my mother safe in this chaotic world."
Gao Cheng raised his head and said seriously.
Lou Zhaojun glanced at him:
"Your mouth is really following He Liuhun."
"Grandpa deceived Grandma like this in the first place?"
Gao Cheng said with a smile.
I don't know what Lou Zhaojun thought of, his cheeks were slightly red:
"Go, go, how can a son criticize his father behind his back."
"There is no reason for a wife to criticize her husband behind her back."
Gao Huan entered the door and laughed loudly.
"Grandpa."
"Lang Jun is here."
Gao Huan nodded, stretched out his hand to stroke Gao Cheng's head, and said with relief:
"In troubled times, the one who can keep his family safe is the one who is the husband."
looked at Lou Zhaojun again, and said with a smile:
"When did I deceive Anu, when I told Anu that the world would be chaotic and not to be greedy for money, but now all kinds of things have fulfilled my past words."
Lou Zhaojun muttered: "Okay, well, how can I be as a woman and a Taoist family as you He Liuhun has a long-term vision." ”
has been in love for more than ten years, and seeing Lou Zhaojun as a little daughter again at this moment, Gao Huan's heart is touched.
He slapped Gao Cheng on the head and shouted:
"It's going to go on the expedition tomorrow, if you don't go back to the house to get ready, you still have to do something here."
Gao Cheng rubbed his head with a gloomy face, and he didn't go far before he heard the sound of the door creaking.
Damn, if you He Liuhun want to do something, find a reason to break me apart, what kind of hands.
Hmph, I am not strong, I will build a jade city, and after you have a hundred years, I will bury you and Wei Xiaokuan under the jade city.
Well, he's inside the city, you're outside the city.
At the same time, in the land of Hebei where Gao Cheng's father and son were longing, a turmoil was brewing.
Er Zhurong's royal soothsayer, Liu Lingzhu, a native of Youzhou, Ping, Ying, and Anzhou, made a divination for the future of Erzhu's family today.
After interpreting the hexagram, Liu Lingzhu made a difficulty.
He muttered:
"The Erzhu clan will be destroyed soon, so where should I go?"
Just as he was hesitating, a house slave reported that Fan Yang Taishou Lu Wenwei came to pay a visit.
Lu Wenwei was born in the Fanyang Lu family, and Liu Lingzhu once protected dozens of hometown fathers including Lu Daoqian, the son-in-law of Emperor Xiaowen, in the Heyin Change.
So as to form a friendship with Fan Yang Lu's family.
Liu Lingzhu personally went out to greet him, and the two talked secretly for a long time in the side room.
It wasn't until late at night that Lu Wenwei was sent out by Liu Lingzhu, and after that, the two sides only had confidant traffic news, and rarely came to the door.
