Chapter 105: Hou Mo Chen Yue
The feast was in full swing, Gao Cheng didn't drink his special wine, and he didn't play that kind of heart in front of his family.
During this period, Gao Cheng raised a lamp to toast to the elders, but Lou Zhaojun still cherished it and did not allow him to drink it again, so he gave up, and the family was happy.
After the dinner, the night was dark, and Gao Cheng still went to find Chen Yuankang with a body of wine.
"Changyu! Open the door! It's me, Gao Cheng! ”
Gao Cheng slammed on the door of Chen Yuankang's house and shouted.
Normally, Chen Yuankang would have fallen asleep at this time, but when he returned home today, he sat in the courtyard dressed and waited.
The sun in the sky has already set, but the sun in Luoyang will definitely find him.
Hearing Gao Cheng's voice, Chen Yuankang excitedly drove the house slaves away and went to open the house in person.
Chen Yuankang sniffed the oncoming smell of wine and said suspiciously:
"Shizi, you are..."
"Let Changyou wait for a long time, my father will hold a family banquet, Cheng can't get out, he can only meet you after the banquet."
Gao Cheng belched and explained.
"The prince is drunk and unwell, why bother to come to see the servant, tomorrow the servant will see the prince off."
Chen Yuankang's shoulders were trembling, and seeing that he was about to cry again, Gao Cheng hurriedly smiled:
"I haven't seen each other for a long time, Changyou needs to greet me with a smile."
Chen Yuankang laughed strongly.
The moonlight fell on Gao Cheng, and Chen Yuankang clearly saw the scenery of the sun and the moon.
This night, Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang didn't talk about any current affairs at all, and the two just talked to each other about their thoughts.
For a long time, Gao Cheng's wine strength was up, and unlike Gao Yang, he was really dizzy.
I wanted to stay in Chen's Mansion overnight, but I remembered that I was going to leave tomorrow, so I said goodbye to Chen Yuankang, and with the support of the guards, I returned to Jinyang Bohai Palace.
When he woke up the next day, his head was still groggy, Gao Cheng still said goodbye to his family according to the itinerary, and returned to Luoyang under the escort of the guards.
The candidate for the new governor of his cronies, after Gao Cheng examined it, was finally handed over to Wang Sizheng.
But he still kept an eye on it and arranged a deputy governor to guard his daily life.
For Gao Cheng's defense, Wang Sizheng comforted himself, the prince can be so cautious, and he and Gao Cheng can be monarchs and ministers for a long time.
And Gao Cheng's promotion has sublimated the goodwill in Wang Sizheng's heart again.
He was just a doorman in the Yuanxiu Mansion, but he was entrusted by Gao Cheng with the important task of being the governor of his cronies, how could this kindness not make him grateful.
Before leaving the city, Gao Cheng left Jinyang behind.
In this life, Xiao Erzhu will take care of himself, and as for whether Gao Chen will be unable to bear loneliness during his wife's pregnancy, Gao Cheng can't care about it.
Before the incident, who would have believed that Gao Chen, who had lofty ambitions and a good reputation, would do foolish things.
Gao Cheng rashly reminded at this time that it might be regarded as provoking the brotherly feelings between Gao Huan and Gao Chen.
While he was still marching slowly north of the Yellow River, a messenger had already entered Sima Ziru's house.
On July 17, Sima Zi counted the merits of Gao Huan Kuang to support the community as shown above, and asked for an increase of 100,000 households in Gao Huan Shiyi.
Gao Huan's Bohai King was still given by Yuan Gong and granted 500 households, but now he suddenly gave it to 100,000 households, and the government and the opposition talked about it.
But who let the army in troubled times is the truth, and Gao Huan just grasped the biggest truth.
Yuan Shanjian granted Sima Ziru's request and issued an order to increase the number of households in Gao Huan by 100,000.
The angel set off for Jinyang, and happened to meet Gao Cheng on the way, and Gao Cheng learned that Sima Ziru had already done the matter, so he sped up.
Take the river bridge, cross the Yellow River, and Gao Cheng returned to Luoyang again.
Sima Zi is as shown above, everyone knows that it was the instruction of Gao Huan and Gao Cheng's father and son.
But it's one thing for everyone to see clearly, Gao Cheng should still do what he should do to cover up, and Sima Zi must be done before he enters Luoyang.
Otherwise, when Gao Cheng came back from Jinyang, Sima Ziru immediately went to the table to ask Gao Huan to eat the yi, which could be regarded as a big joke.
Gao Huan received the angel and learned that he wanted to increase the number of households by 100,000 for himself, but he refused to accept it, and instead begged the Son of Heaven to give 100,000 households to the meritorious ministers since the establishment of Xindu.
The angel returned to Yuan Shanjian, and Yuan Shanjian agreed to Gao Huan's request and gave 100,000 households to Gao Huan's ministers.
For a time, everyone was grateful to Dai De, and Gao Huan once again deepened the cohesion of his subordinates.
Among them, there is He Batyun who has difficulty sleeping and eating, He Batyun is having a hard time these days, the second brother He Batsheng intercepted and killed the angels, and other complices in the chaos, and the third brother He Batyue cut off the Guanxi and did not listen to the orders of the central government.
As the first lord under Gao Huan to be crowned king, he is on the cusp.
Fortunately, Gao Huan remembered his old feelings, and he sheltered him several times, and now he has given him more to the households, and He Bayun even got up to think of the death of a confidant.
Of course, this is just an appetizer, on the ninth day of the eighth month, Gao Cheng's letter completely broke the peace of the government and the opposition.
He took He Batsheng as an example, bitterly expounded the harm of the Xingtai system to the central government, and implored the Son of Heaven to abolish all parties, and only retain the post of Gao Huan Daxingtai, and at the same time, in order to set an example, he asked himself to resign from the post of Henan Dao Daxingtai.
Ten-year-old Yuan Shanjian was like a marionette, let Gao Cheng manipulate him, and issued an edict to agree to the invitation.
When Hou Jing of Nandao Daxingtai learned the news, he didn't react too violently.
He and Gao Huan are both Huaishuo people, have been in contact for a long time, and they know each other very well.
Before, he suddenly took out the amount of 100,000 households and distributed it to the lords, he must have other plans, and Hou Jing was mentally prepared.
It's just that I didn't expect that he came to dismantle Xingtai, or not, he led the troops to guard as the assassin of Jingzhou, and in essence, he already controlled the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, and as for the false name of Nandao Daxingtai, it didn't matter.
Could it be that he could still borrow the name of Nandao Daxingtai to order Yang Su and Yuan Zigong, two of Gao Cheng's henchmen in East Jingzhou and South Jingzhou.
lost his false name and gained the real profit of 500 food estates, Hou Jing was able to accept it.
Don't underestimate the 500 households, according to the tax of 2 stone of rice grain, 2 zhang of silk, and 3 taels of cotton per household, it is 1,000 stone of rice grain, 1,000 zhang of silk, and 1,500 taels of cotton every year.
What's more, Gao Huan also deliberately distributed the households that produced hemp to Hou Jing, and he could get 500 more sackcloth.
People, there must always be a comparison to know the gains and losses, Gao Cheng gave the ministers, and did not forget the people of Kansai, but the abolition of the Xingtai, the biggest victim is naturally in the name of the Kansai Daxingtai to rule the Guanlong He Batyue.
He Batyue was very angry, some time ago, the east wind of the Kanto to destroy the Buddha was blowing strongly, and the Kansai region, which was not outside the will, also heard the wind and moved, under the banner of the Son of Heaven, slaughtered a fat sheep, and the impoverished Kansai regime could be called rich overnight.
When he was in the right mood, Gao Huan made such a bad move.
does not have the name of Kansai Daxingtai, what name does he use to rule Guanlong.
As time goes by, subordinates will inevitably have other thoughts.
'You are a thorn, and I am also a thorn, why do I have to listen to your orders.' ’
It's no one else, it's Qinzhou Thorn Shi Hou Mo Chen Yue, Lingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Ni, and Weizhou Thorn Shi Ke Zhu Hunyuan.
These three people are already disobedient to themselves, and if they lose the name of Kansai Daxingtai, they really want to blatantly stand on their own.
He Bayue immediately ordered someone to go to Xiazhou to recruit his henchman Xiazhou to assassinate Shi Yuwentai.
"This chaotic fate is unbearable in Kansai."
After Yuwentai learned about the matter, he said directly when he saw He Bayue.
Of course, he knew that he could not accept it, but the consequences of his blatant disobedience to the holy decree were worth pondering.
Yuwentai guessed what He Bayue was thinking, and suggested:
"He Bagong wants to compete with He Liuhun, how can he be subject to a puppet under He Liuhun everywhere, and now the Kansai is uncertain, only Hou Mo Chen Yue, Cao Ni, and Zhu Hunyuan are the three.
"If you hesitate and are forced by He Liuhun with righteousness, Tai is worried about regeneration."
He Bayue frowned and said:
"The Black Otter wants me to have a new Lord? I'm afraid that the world will criticize it. ”
Yuwentai knelt down and asked:
"He Liuhun bullied the young master, He Bagong served the Changjun, who is popular with the Wei family, the world can see it, and please don't hesitate to ask He Bagong, the new lord is established, if Hou Mo Chen Yue and others are unwilling to follow, He Bagong can also lead the army to fight."
He Batyue pondered for a long time, but did not agree to this request, it was not that he did not have this intention, he hoped to reverse the order.
"The words of the black otter are quite in line with my opinion, but I am determined to destroy Hou Mo Chen Yue and the others first, and then establish a new master."
Seeing this, Yuwentai no longer persuaded him, but planned for He Bayue to leave the angel in Tongguan on the grounds that the road was not quiet, so as to buy time for the peace of Hou Mo Chenyue.
He Bayue acted according to the plan, and immediately sent an order to Hou Mo Chen Yue in the name of Guanxi Daxingtai, because Cao Ni, the assassin of Lingzhou, did not obey the order, and ordered Hou Mo Chen Yue to go to the crusade.
After receiving the order, Mo Chen Yue, the Marquis of Qinzhou Assassin, immediately summoned his son-in-law Yuan Hongjing to discuss countermeasures, and another confidant, Li Bi, took office as the assassin of Southern Qinzhou and did not participate in this secret discussion.
"When Erzhu Tianguang went east, I didn't want to rebel, it was He Bayue who ordered Yuwentai to divide my people, which forced me to follow him to kill Erzhu's family.
Hou Mo Chen Yue said righteously, but he didn't have the slightest attachment to the Erzhu clan in his heart.
He was afraid that He Bayue would be able to successfully divide his own people.
Hou Mo Chen Yue continued:
"Now that He Batyue has ordered me to attack Cao Ni, does the virtuous son-in-law think that his intention is Cao Ni, or is he taking the opportunity to try me?"
Yuan Hongjing analyzed:
"Cao Ni is far away in Lingzhou, adjacent to Yuwentai, if He Bayue Tu Cao Ni, he can let Yuwentai send troops, but he ordered Yuezhang to go out of Longshan, and the laborers went on an expedition, in order to defeat both Yuezhang and Cao Ni, and his ambition as a wolf is obvious."
Hou Mo Chen Yue nodded, he had the same opinion as Yuan Hongjing.
Since He Bayue's intentions are sinister, he can't go north to consume each other with Cao Ni no matter what, Hou Mo Chen Yue decided:
"I intend to sit and guard Longshan, and Gao Huan has a large army in Jinyang, and I don't think He Bayue will dare to attack me with all his might."
Yuan Hongjing echoed:
"Uncle Yue's words are very true."
Before the two of them settled on the strategy, a henchman came in to report, and a scribe outside the mansion claimed to be a visitor from the Kanto region and asked to see Hou Mo Chen Yue.
Yuan Hongjing hurriedly persuaded:
"This person must be the messenger of high joy, and my father-in-law may wish to see him."
Hou Mo Chen Yue immediately ordered someone to bring the scribes into the palace.
Under the guidance of the slave, Zhai Song walked into the Qinzhou Thorn Mansion, he was a staff member in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Gao Huan, and was appointed to the position of Zuo Cheng.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is full of talents, and if you want to get ahead, you must take risks, and Zhai Song took the initiative to ask Ying under such circumstances and sent envoys to lobby Hou Mo Chen Yue, in order to provoke the contradiction between him and He Bayue.
When he arrived in Qinzhou, he immediately heard that He Bayue ordered Hou Mo Chen Yue to go north to attack Cao Ni in Lingzhou, and he felt that God was helping him succeed.
"Zuo Cheng Zhai Song of the Prime Minister's Mansion has seen Hou Mo Chen Gong."
Zhai Song saluted.
Hou Mo Chen Yue's surname is Hou Mo Chen, and his single name is a Yue character, so he is called Hou Mo Chen Gong.
"Sir, why did you come from afar?"
Hou Mo Chen Yue asked.
Since Zhai Song knew that Hou Mo Chen Yue was facing a predicament now, he also had confidence in his heart, and he smiled:
"I came here to relieve Hou Mo Chengong's worries."
"Oh? What worries me about being able to bother my husband to come afar? ”
"Hou Mo Chen Gong is worried, He Bayue also."
When Hou Mo Chen Yue heard this, he didn't want to pretend to be confused with him anymore, and said directly:
"Sir, you might as well tell me directly."
Zhai Song then analyzed Hou Mo Chen Yue's intention to order him out of Longshan, and offered advice:
"Hou Mo Chen Gong might as well promise He Batyue to let him relax his vigilance, He Batyue has always despised the heroes of the world, and after the army is united, the Duke can induce him to go to the army to discuss matters and take the opportunity to kill him.
"As soon as He Bayue died, the land of Guanlong was the most prestigious by Hou Mochen Gong, and he should succeed Guanlong.
"Before I left, King Gao once said that he was under the command of Tianzhu that day, and He Batyue instigated Tianzhu to kill King Gao, and the one whom King Gao hated, He Batyue was alone.
"If Hou Mo Chen Gong kills He Bayue, King Gao is willing to use Hou Mo Chen Gong Yong to control Guanxi, and the two families will be each other's in-laws and assist the Wei family."
Zhai Song's words completely disrupted Hou Mo and Chen Yue's original plan to sit in Longshan.
Yongzhen Kansai, these four words made his heart beat faster.
Since it is destined to turn against He Batyue, instead of being trapped in Longshan, why not take a risk, as Zhai Song said, as Zhai Song said, once He Batyue dies, in terms of official position and prestige, he will not be able to inherit Guanxi.
Once it is done, whether Gao Huan fulfills his promise or not, he will not be able to change the result of his secession of Kansai.
Hou Mo Chen Yue did not express his position immediately, and his son-in-law Yuan Hongjing was so anxious that he hinted with his eyes several times that he agreed.
Zhai Song continued to bewitch:
"King Gao has two daughters, both of whom are concubines, the eldest daughter is married to the Son of Heaven, and the second daughter is willing to promise the Mo Chen family."
In fact, Gao Huan didn't mention it at all, but Zhai Song believed that in the future, Hou Mo and Chen Yue would succeed in leading Guanxi, and King Gao would not spare a daughter.
It's a big deal that after pacifying Kansai, I will recruit a husband for my daughter, even if it is a widow, it is also the daughter of the Gao family, so why worry about having no home.
As if feeling Gao Huan's sincerity, Hou Mo Chen Yue relieved himself and agreed:
"He Batyue to the land of Kansai, disobey the central government, please hate can not eat its flesh and bones, what Mr. said, Yue to know, this time to kill He Batyue, not to please his own selfish desires, but to kill thieves for the country.
"Please tell King Gao that you are willing to accept the king's order."
In fact, the so-called marriage of daughters is secondary, and the irreconcilable contradiction with He Batyue is the reason why he is willing to take risks.
Zhai Song took a deep look at Hou Mo Chen Yue, this sentence was willing to accept the king's order, and it was easy to put the blame on Gao Huan's head.
But he didn't dwell on these details, for Gao Huan, as long as he could cut off his sworn enemy He Bayue, what was the charge of instigation.
"In this way, Song and Jinyang Yao wish Hou Mo Chen Gong to get what he wants, and in the future, he will bring the Gao daughter into the customs, and then come to visit the governor of Guanxi."
