Chapter 64: Rise and Fall

Standing on the poor mountain to remember the past, Gao Huan ordered someone to bury Erzhu Zhaohou, and then returned to Xiurongchuan.

After Murong Shaozong received a guarantee that Gao Huan would not harm Er Zhurong and Er Zhuzhao's family, he and Er Zhurong's widow, Princess Beixiang, led the rest of the people to return to obedience.

Gao Huan had a conflict with the eldest princess of Beixiang, and the last time they met, he had robbed the princess of 300 war horses.

Now that the status of the two has changed, Gao Huan should be the first to salute the princess of Beixiang.

"King Bohai is going to break his concubine."

The eldest princess of Beixiang didn't dare to accept his courtesy, so she hurriedly avoided it.

Gao Huan said that he would send the eldest princess of Beixiang and Er Zhurong to Jinyang for support, seeing that the eldest princess of Beixiang looked uneasy, Gao Huan comforted:

"Princess, please rest assured, He Liuhun has been favored by Tianzhu, and will never bully widows and orphans, and his son Ah Hui has formed a good relationship with the daughter of Tianzhu, and loves each other, and will not embarrass his wife, and in the third generation, the people who have been favored by Tianzhu have long since withered, and the Erzhu clan will no longer be suspicious."

These words were sincere, and the eldest princess of Beixiang bowed and thanked when she heard this:

"If you can preserve the bloodline of the deceased husband, the concubine is willing to be the king's slave in the next life."

Gao Huan helped the eldest princess of Beixiang up, and there were no distractions.

It's not that the eldest princess of Beixiang is not beautiful, no matter what others think of his behavior of criticizing the Er Zhu family, but Gao Huan is always grateful to Er Zhurong.

When he fled from Hebei in embarrassment, the family suffered from no livelihood, and it was Er Zhurong's attention and promotion that gave Gao Huan the opportunity to become a leading general, and the official worshiped the history of Jinzhou.

After Er Zhurong's death, it was Er Zhuzhao's trust and connivance that gave Gao Huan the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of power.

Whether the world believes it or not, Gao Huan never thought of connecting the families of these two people, but instead took care of their orphans, which was the only compensation He Liuhun could make for the two benefactors on his life path.

It is precisely with this kind of mind that in history, whether it is treating Xiao Erzhu's family or Erzhurong's orphans, Gao Huan has always been extremely tolerant.

Er Zhurong's two youngest sons, Er Zhu Wenchang and Er Zhu Wenluo, were both raised by Gao Huan to adulthood and entrusted with reuse.

Erzhu Wenchang was granted the right to open the government, and he was appointed to assassinate the history of the state, known for his wealth, and lived an extremely luxurious life, but unfortunately he had resentment and was finally killed for plotting trouble with others.

When Gao Huan was dying, he could not rest assured that Er Zhurong's last bloodline, Er Zhu Wenluo, explained that Gao Cheng gave him an iron coupon and the privilege of avoiding death ten times, and told him that no matter how big the sin was, Er Zhurong's bloodline could not be cut off.

Gao Cheng has always kept in mind Gao Huan's last words, no matter how tyrannical and absurd Er Zhu Wenluo was, mutilating people's lives, and never willing to punish him with capital crimes, until Gao Cheng's death, Er Zhu Wenluo still did not know how to restrain himself, and was finally beheaded by Gao Yang.

Gao Huan personally sent the families of Er Zhurong and Er Zhuzhao to the carriage and ordered the guards to be sent to Jinyang for proper placement.

Only then did he have the leisure to talk to Murong Shaozong.

"If the king of Yingchuan listened to Shaozong's words that day, how could he have a lonely creation today."

Gao Huan looked at this Erzhu clan and was full of emotion.

At the beginning, whether it was to control the six towns and surrender people, or to go east to eat, Murong Shaozong was obstructed by it, and Gao Huan in the past was naturally annoyed, but now, he appreciated Murong Shaozong's loyal behavior.

Murong Shaozong had mixed tastes, but after all, he still sighed:

"Maybe there is a providence in the underworld, which is exactly what Tianzhu said, only the king can be worthy of the throne."

In fact, Gao Huan also knew that Er Zhurong's intention in saying this sentence was to imply that his relatives should be wary of him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

He smiled and turned to the battle of Han Ling:

"On the same day in the battle in Hanling, the Erzhu coalition army was dispersed, and only the Yingchuan King retreated calmly, at that time, Lone and Ah Hui asserted that it was Shaozong who led the army instead of the King of Yingchuan, and after the investigation, it was as Lone expected."

"A servant is only in his position, and he does his job."

Murong Shaozong said modestly, this is the second time he has heard the name Ah Hui in Gao Huan's mouth, it should be Gao Cheng, the son of the King of Bohai who married the daughter of Tianzhu.

He had heard many deeds of that son, some good and some bad, some people said that Gao Cheng was a thousand miles of horses, a young talent; Some people also say that he is a hungry ghost in the color, and at a young age, he is like his father, and he likes the widow of a nobleman.

What kind of person it is has to be seen with your own eyes to know.

After some small talk, Gao Huan pulled and said:

"In the future, Shaozong will be needed as a lone staff officer."

"The servant does not know the will of heaven, and he is often embarrassed by the king, but the king forgives the servant's sins, and the servant is willing to assist the king with all his heart and drive for the king."

Murong Shaozong bowed down and surrendered.

Gao Huan then retained Murong Shaozong's original official title and left him to participate in the military council.

After receiving the allegiance of Murong Shaozong, Gao Huan awarded Zhang Liang the post of military staff in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Erzhu Zhao was defeated by Han Ling, his subordinates contacted the Tingwang Division.

In the half year that he retreated to Xiurongchuan, he even rushed to offer Gao Huan a surrender table, but Zhang Liang was always unmoved, and Gao Huan liked this kind of loyal minister more and more.

After inspecting the Xiurongchuan Racecourse, Gao Huan kept people to take care of his life, and then the class teacher went to Jinyang.

Since Er Zhurong entered Luoyang in the first year of Wutai (528) and controlled the supreme power, until the first month of the second year of Taichang (533), Er Zhuzhao died in the poor mountain and completely withdrew from the stage of hegemony.

It is 'its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden'.

Just after New Year's Day, there was still a festive atmosphere in Luoyang City, of course, all this had nothing to do with Wang Sizheng.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same, he was imprisoned from the end of May of the first year of Taichang to the first month of the second year of Taichang, and no one has ever asked a question, Wang Sizheng has been convinced that the prince of Bohai really wants to imprison himself to death.

Someone came to deliver food again, and Wang Sizheng pleaded through the cage:

"Brother Lao is tired of speaking for me, Wang Sizheng is willing to serve the son."

This is not the first time that the person who delivers food has heard this, and he smiled bitterly:

"Mr. Wang, don't embarrass me and other servants, the prince doesn't ask, who dares to mention Mr."

The person who came delivered the meal, and changed the bucket for Wang Sizheng, refused to stay for a long time, and left quickly, never giving Wang Sizheng a chance to talk again.

Wang Sizheng was on the verge of collapse, and he didn't want to die in obscurity in this room that had been converted into a prison cell, and he shouldn't have ended up like this.

But with the prosperity of the Gao family, except for Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son, no one can release him from the Bohai Palace.

Today's Wang Sizheng only hopes to get Gao Cheng's forgiveness, regain his freedom, and no longer have hatred like when he was first imprisoned.

Of course, Wang Sizheng's thoughts, Gao Cheng will not be clear, he is busy with political affairs, or in the mansion with Er Zhu Ying'e to worship Yuan Ziyou, or to talk to Yuan Mingyue's mansion.

And Gao Huan, who returned to Jinyang, finally heard the rumors that Yuan Mingyue was regarded as forbidden by their father and son.

Gao Huan complained to Lou Zhaojun indignantly:

"It's all Ah Hui's frivolous behavior, which discredits Gu's reputation."

This sentence sounds familiar.
