Chapter 55: Officials

Gao Huan didn't receive any instructions in advance, and when he saw Gao Cheng rushing to Jinyang, he said angrily:

"I ordered you to sit in Luoyang, but you left your post without permission, how can you be allowed to act so arbitrarily in military affairs!"

With that, he kicked at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng didn't react for a while, he was kicked to the ground, and seeing Gao Huan coming again, he could only curl up with his head in his arms and shout:

"Father, the child is here to report something important, and he has discussed with his uncle and others about staying behind when he is leaving, how can it be said that he left his post without permission!"

Gao Huan didn't care about it, he couldn't stop scolding while beating, he seemed to have a grudge against Gao Cheng for a long time, and I don't know if he heard that Gao Cheng paid tribute to Zhu Ying'e with the queen's courtesy.

The incident happened suddenly, Hu Luguang settled the accompanying guards outside, and the three staff members who followed, Cui Jishu and Yang Su, the little overlords of Luoyang, saw Gao Huan angry, and they were afraid to speak.

Only Chen Yuankang rushed out, pounced on Gao Cheng, and shouted to protect him:

"The prince has worked hard and made great achievements, but the king has used his fists and kicks at will, isn't it too much!"

At this time, Yang Su and Cui Jishu also reacted, and hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Gao Cheng.

Gao Huan stopped at this time, he was dismissive of Chen Yuankang's accusation and said:

"I'm anxious, Ah Hui, it's always like this!"

This is the truth, and it has been in the past two years that Gao Cheng has acted very much to his heart, so he has not been given a chance to do it.

Chen Yuankang thought of Gao Cheng's young age, busy with political affairs all day long, and working hard for his father, but still suffering from domestic violence, he was very sad in his heart, got up and protected Gao Cheng behind him, and retorted with tears:

"The prince is the prince, and the king is so humiliated, it is already too much once, not to mention often!"

Gao Huan suddenly became interested in this young scribe, when he beat and scolded Gao Cheng in Jinzhou, only Lou Zhaojun dared to stop him, not to mention that his current power is even more powerful than before.

This young man dared to stand up for the Lord under his rage, weeping and arguing, which shows that he is a sincere and affectionate person.

was not in a hurry to appease Gao Cheng, who was hiding behind Chen Yuankang, Gao Huan asked Chen Yuankang:

"You're Ah Hui's staff? What is your name. ”

Chen Yuankang first helped Gao Cheng up and saluted:

"Servant Chen Yuankang, temporarily opening the mansion for the prince."

Gao Huan nodded, keeping the name in his heart, then glanced at Gao Cheng and said angrily:

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Xiao Gaowang, who was accustomed to being powerful, was beaten in vain, and under the grievances, he was very angry, and only said to Chen Yuankang:

"Changyou, you talk to him."

He refused to shout even a word from his father.

Chen Yuankang, as Gao Cheng's confidant, is of course an insider, and immediately responded:

"The king, the prince ordered the officials to secretly visit the progress of the division of fields, and found that most of the fertile land allocated to the commoners was occupied by the magnates, and only the barren acres of land were left to make ends meet.

"In addition, when a scribe went to Qingzhou to investigate, he found that there were many treacherous people pretending to be officials in various places, and the matter was very serious, so he hurriedly went north to discuss with the king."

Gao Huan was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Gao Cheng, and said regretfully:

"Ah Hui, why didn't you say it earlier, it's your father's fault that blames you."

Gao Cheng twisted his head to the side when he heard this, refusing to pay attention.

Didn't I say it earlier? Don't you have to take a beating and then ask the questions after the beating? Haven't you beaten your son for two years and your hands are itchy?

Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't speak, Gao Huan immediately smiled and opened his face, and coaxed:

"It's all my father's fault, Ah Hui Mo wants to be resentful, come, you and my father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's talk about it."

immediately retreated from everyone, leaving only Gao Cheng in the hall.

Gao Huan asked directly:

"Ah Hui, tell me, what do you think?"

It seems that the incident of beating his son just now has been completely forgotten.

Gao Cheng is helpless, both father and son are skinless and faceless, so they can only put aside their prejudices and focus on big things:

"The child thinks that the officials should be checked first, and then the acres of land should be redistributed."

Gao Huan frowned and said:

"If there is a vacancy in the official position, how can there be manpower to preside over the distribution of acres of land."

"The children's association will lead the staff all over the country and personally preside over it."

"In this way, I'm afraid that Ah Hui will work hard."

"Family business is the most important, and I dare not excuse myself with hard work."

Gao Huan was pleased:

"Ah Hui is really my unicorn, and she has helped me a lot."

When Gao Cheng heard this, he was extremely aggrieved: Which unicorn will be treated like this?

Gao Huan continued to ask:

"It's important to divide the field, why should Ah Hui be put behind."

"After inspecting the officials, the position is vacant, and the father can arrange for the trustworthy person to take up the place, and cooperate with the children to jointly manage the distribution of the land."

Gao Cheng saw Gao Huan's face showing approval, and continued to ask:

"The impersonation of the officials, I am afraid that it will be widely involved, and the child is afraid of an uproar in public opinion, so he asked his father to order a general to go south with the child."

Gao Huan heard the words and groaned:

"Who do you want to go with?"

"A child, but according to the will of the father."

Gao Cheng said respectfully.

Gao Huan smiled at this time:

"Di Gan acted steadily, so he let him lead the army to follow Ah Hui into Luo to shock the place."

"Thank you, child, for your father's grace."

The father and son discussed some details, and Gao Huan ordered someone to summon Di Gan, inform him of the matter, and allocate 30,000 people to him to go south with Gao Cheng to settle in Luoyang.

Di Gan immediately went to the camp outside the city, ordered all the people, and among the accompanying governors was Duan Shao, a nephew who was deeply loved by Gao Huan.

It can only be said that the Gao clan has long been different from what it used to be, the battle of Hanling on the day, almost all the belongings were taken out, and only more than 30,000 steps were gathered, and now it is less than half a year, and it is possible to divide 30,000 people and Gao Cheng to the south while preparing to attack Xiurong.

Seeing that the matter was discussed, Gao Cheng said goodbye to Gao Huan.

"Ahuiduo consulted with Gao Qian and Gao Longzhi, they are all talented people, you don't have to be stubborn."

Before leaving, Gao Huan repeatedly explained.

Gao Cheng agreed.

On July 29, King Xiaogao, who had been beaten in Jinyang, arrived in Luoyang, where he was loyal.

Gao Cheng ordered Di Gan to lead 30,000 troops to move to Huatai, and he returned to the mansion and ordered his henchmen to invite Gao Gan and Gao Longzhi to explain the official's assumption of office to the two of them.

Gao Longzhi immediately expressed his agreement and was willing to play the Son of Heaven with Gao Cheng.

Gao Qian took a step slower and also seconded the proposal.

Gao Cheng immediately went to the palace with Gao Qian, Gao Longzhi, and Gao Longzhi, who were in the service, to meet the Son of Heaven, saying that the land of Shandong had been chaotic for a long time, and the government was chaotic, and many people pretended to be officials without being appointed by the central government, and implored the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly.

Yuan Shanjian immediately summoned Qinghe Wang Yuanjian and others to discuss, and Yuan Jian believed that this move was conducive to strengthening the central government's control over the localities, and there was nothing wrong with it.

So under the joint promotion of Gao Cheng and his father-in-law, a scrutiny of officials throughout Shandong was launched.

However, what everyone did not expect was that with the investigation reports from various places, after statistics, it was found that nearly 50,000 people were involved in impersonation or were not employed by the central government.

For a while, public opinion was surging, and Yuan Yan, Gao Longzhi and others all retreated.

Even the initiator, Gao Cheng, was dumbfounded.
