Chapter 113: Recruiting the Magi
When Gao Cheng and Erzhu Ying'e upheld the orthodoxy of the Great Wei Dynasty and severely punished the traitors, the governor of the capital, Shi Cui Xian, brought a middle-aged scribe to the outside of the palace to wait for the transmission.
After getting the gift, Gao Cheng asked Cui Xian's screen to stand in the guest room, so that the guest manager went to greet him.
After waiting in the wing room for a while, Cui Xian and the middle-aged scribe arrived.
"Ji Lun, who did this bring to me?"
Gao Cheng's hearty laughter drew Cui Xian's attention back from the screen.
With a hint of pride, Cui Xian introduced the middle-aged scribe to Gao Cheng:
"Metropolitan Governor, this is Xing Shao in Hejian, Xing Zicai."
Gao Cheng stood up and said in surprise:
"Mr. is Xing Zicai, who is known as the three talents of the North with Wen Zisheng and Wei Shui! On that day, I asked Ji Lun for talent, and Ji Lun was the first to recommend Mr. to me. ”
Cui Xian was slightly surprised, it was clear that the first person to recommend that day was the clan member Cui Ang, but when he saw Xing Shao's grateful gaze, he instantly understood Gao Cheng's intention:
'The Son loves me. ’
Glancing at Cui Xian gratefully, Xing Shao didn't dare to be proud of his past talents, he said humbly:
"Don't dare to be praised by the prince, Shao is just a mediocre person who is immersed in studying, the son of the world is filial piety in the sea, Anbang governs the country, and has the talent of pipe music, Shao is a long-term admiration, when I see it today, I only hate the world and know the true face, otherwise the name of filial piety and beauty Gaolang, how can it be covered by the talent of the world."
Gao Cheng's first feeling about Xing Shao was surprisingly good, and his words simply expressed his heart: it was because of his outstanding merits that he covered up the name of filial piety.
As for Mei Gao Lang, although there are two short-lived brothers in the late Han Dynasty, Mei Sun Lang and Mei Zhou Lang, Xiao Gao Wang, who is harmless and feels that his longevity can make Xiao Yan ashamed, is not a narrow-minded person.
If you listen partially, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be clear, Gao Cheng took the initiative to ask Xing Shao about his political gains and losses.
I thought I would hear him say Juntian first, but I didn't want Xing Shao to talk to him about the destruction of the Buddha with great interest:
"The dynasty worships Buddhism, spends people's power to build temples, and the prince is not afraid of criticism, punishing demons to support the army and the people. Very happy, Shao is in the countryside, every time he hears about this, he can't help but be excited. ”
"My father and son have been loyal and good for two generations, for the country and the people, and they have not spared their lives, so they are not afraid of criticism, and those who wish are only prosperous in the Great Wei."
Although it was unexpected, it was also a proud thing in his life, Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, and said suspiciously:
"Listening to what Mr. said today, it seems that he doesn't believe in the Buddha, is it possible to advocate Taoism only after becoming a child?"
Xing Shao shook his head and said:
"Shao doesn't believe in Buddhism and Taoism, especially he doesn't like monks and Taoists to use gods and Buddhas to deceive people."
is actually an atheist, which makes Gao Cheng even more fond of him.
The two later discussed the matter of gods and Buddhas, and Xing Shao elaborated to Gao Cheng his views on the immortality of gods advocated by Buddhism since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Buddhism believes that the human body may be destroyed, but the spirit can be eternal.
Xing Shao believes that the relationship between form and god should be a candle and a candle flame, the candle burns out, the candle flame will also be extinguished, and once the human body dies, the soul will also disappear.
Gao Cheng, who is a traverser, has a different opinion on this point of view, but he did not express his position, but changed the topic and continued to discuss the gains and losses of politics with Xing Shao, and Cui Xian also joined the conversation.
Gao Cheng sometimes speaks incoherently in order to win over his staff, but when it comes to some sensitive issues, he is very cautious.
Even if he believes in the death of a man as a traverser, he will not say anything in agreement.
It will even strike at the idea that the soul cannot last forever and will disappear with the physical body.
Once a person dies, future generations may indulge themselves in it, regardless of the flood after death.
This is what King Xiao Gao doesn't want to see, he doesn't think about the family business for thousands of years, but the time of existence is too short, and the historical materials of future generations are not easy to control.
After talking freely about the gains and losses of politics, Gao Cheng made up his mind that he must have a suppressive attitude regarding Xing Shao's theory of divine annihilation.
Of course, suppressing Xing Shao's views does not conflict with reusing Xing Shao.
After saying another word about fish and water, Gao Cheng followed Cui Xian's previous suggestion and included Xing Shao in the shogunate and ordered him to be in charge of confidential documents.
It only takes five days to memorize 800,000 words, and it's a pity not to be a human Baidu by Xiao Gaowang's side.
When Cui Xian and Xing Shao said goodbye, Gao Cheng pointed to the screen and said to Xing Shao:
"I love Cui Changshi, with his name as the first place, Cui Changshi recommended Xing Ji to me that day, and I also included the name of the confidential in it, but since ancient times, scribes have been light, Xing Ji must not talk to outsiders, so as not to be hated by Cui Changshi."
This was said to Xing Shao, but it was even more said to Cui Xian.
Cui Xian finally understood why every time he came with his colleagues, Gao Cheng would always put away the screen, and his love for him was even more touched, and his heart could no longer tolerate others.
As for Gao Huan, who held hands with him and cried when Jinyang was parting? He's a good guy, but King Ko is more suitable for me.
Don't come back and forth in the future, I'm afraid that the world will misunderstand.
It was precisely because of this psychology that Cui Xian's enthusiasm for work became more and more high, and within a few days, he brought another middle-aged scribe to the door.
Gao Cheng had already guessed that among the three people recommended by Cui Xian at the beginning, Cui Ang and Xing Shao entered the shogunate one after another, and the scribe in front of him must be the last person Wen Zisheng.
Wen Zisheng is forty years old, two years older than thirty-eight-year-old Xing Shao, and will be the oldest person in Gao Cheng's staff group.
expressed his admiration as always, and said that Cui Xian was the first to recommend Wen Zisheng for him.
But this summons did not have the sense of surprise when he met Xing Shao, Gao Cheng talked to him about government affairs, and some of Wen Zisheng's handling opinions could not satisfy Gao Cheng.
And when he was talking about literature with Gao Cheng with great interest, Xiao Gao Wang, who was not good at reading, also listened to it drowsily.
But it is indeed an excellent pen, Gao Cheng asked him to write an article on the theme of his entry into the battlefield at the beginning of thirteen years and the deeds of 10,000 people who defeated Chen Qingzhi's 30,000 people.
Wen Zisheng splashed ink, and an essay entitled "Remembering Jingzhou and Breaking Chen Qingzhi" was born.
The whole text is gorgeous, the battle is neat, and although there are many dictionaries, it is not obscure.
Even Gao Cheng, who doesn't have much appreciation of ancient texts, can't put it down after reading it.
Such a good article should be preserved and recited in full by future generations of junior high and high school students.
Gao Cheng hurriedly asked someone to send the text to Zhang Shiqi for him to transcribe.
'Jiyin people Wen Zisheng is known for his talents, and Wei County Wei Shui, Xing Shao between the rivers and the three talents of the north, to be upright and outspoken, not attached to the magnates for the scholars, I heard that the metropolitan governor Cheng broke Chen Qingzhi in Xiangyang, pacified the three Jing, and was fascinated by it, it was "Remembering the Three Jing Breaking Chen Qingzhi", this article came out, Luoyang paper was expensive, and the scholars in the world were all amazed, and it was known as the strange text of the world. ’
As a rigorous recorder of historical materials, as soon as Zhang Shiqi got this article, he typed the draft.
The first is to establish the image of Wen Zisheng who is not afraid of the powerful. Then the time for writing the article was advanced, and it was written spontaneously by Wen Zisheng after hearing that Gao Cheng had pacified Sanjing. Finally, it is to evaluate the article on behalf of the world.
Zhang Shiqi wrote the manuscript and read it twice before sending it to Gao Cheng for review.
As for the Bohai Palace, Gao Cheng did not rush to let Wen Zisheng go, but left him and Cui Xian to have dinner in the mansion.
During the banquet, Gao Cheng deliberately asked the cook to increase the amount of Wen Zisheng.
In the previous life, the original owner starved you to death in prison, and in this life, I Gao Cheng let you eat and drink enough, which can be regarded as paying off the debt on behalf of the original owner.
was having dinner, Zhang Shiqi came to the door with the manuscript and asked Gao Cheng to review it.
Gao Cheng was very satisfied after reading it, and he encouraged:
"It should be the same in the future, and remember to record it as it is."
He also ordered the cook to add a meal for Master Zhang.
No one would really take a captive as a cook, Xiao Gaowang is looking for all cooks.
After Gao Cheng sent Cui Xian, Wen Zisheng, and Zhang Shiqi away, he instructed the cook to make nine servings of beef.
Let the servants and slaves be sent to Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Aocao, Gao Jishi, Yaoxiong, Murong Shaozong, Wang Sizheng, Cui Jishu, and Xing Shao.
Specially explained to let the slave say the last sentence when delivering the meal:
'The prince had dinner today, and was deeply impressed by the delicious meat, so he specially ordered the dining room to prepare a portion for the general. ’
Gao Cheng just gave a word, and let the kitchen break his leg, and the steward in charge of the dining room couldn't help but make it difficult: Recently, this ploughing cow has committed suicide a little more.
Gao Cheng, who is sitting in Luoyang, has been very leisurely recently, and he has mostly handed over the cumbersome government affairs of Shangshu Province to Sima Ziru and Li Yuanzhong.
The Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was also presided over by Cui Xian and Cui Jishu, and assisted by Cui Ang, Xing Shao, and Wen Zisheng.
As for the whole training army, there are many generals who preside over it, among which the low-level Xianbei soldiers from Wuchuan are the most active.
Dead He Bayue, a careerist from the Wuchuan Hao clan, and Yu Wentai, who is also a son of the Wuchuan Hao clan, actually openly rebelled against the imperial court, which made the four thousand Wuchuan Xianbei soldiers who were reshaped by Gao Cheng's sense of honor deeply ashamed.
And the team of archers handed over to Hu Luguang has also formed a scale, with a total of 6,000 people on the left and right sides of the Shenjian Battalion, which is still a lot short of the 10,000 arrows in Gao Cheng's mind, but it is almost the limit among the 34,000 Gyeonggi soldiers.
Because his subordinates were too good, Gao Cheng was idle, and most of his daily work was to listen to the information sent back by the spies.
Yavin
It was not only Gao Cheng who was leisurely, but also Gao Longzhi, who was ordered to send Liu Lisheng to the throne.
Regarding Gao Huan's proposal that the two sides should be each other's sons and daughters, Gao Huan's second son Gao Yang would marry Liu Lisheng's daughter, and the second daughter would marry Liu Lisheng's eldest son, Liu Lisheng readily agreed.
even couldn't wait for the prince to abolish his wife and make room for Gao Huan's daughter.
The daughter of the dignified Kanto controller is not a concubine.
Gao Longzhi's task was easily completed, and he was entertained by Liu Lisheng all day long, and his weight gained a lot.
Zhao Yanshen, who went north with him and presided over the contact with Liu Li's promotion to general, did not have Gao Long's leisure.
Since the establishment of the Listening Division, the staff has continued to expand, but compared to the tasks undertaken, it is still overstretched.
It is necessary to monitor the interior, but also to lurk in the enemy territory to find out the news, therefore, Gao Cheng has never taken Liu Lisheng's forces to heart, and after the death of Er Zhuzhao, the spies sent out are all going to Guanxi and Nanliang.
For Liu Lisheng's power composition, it is a blank in general.
This is also the reason why Gao Cheng asked Zhao Yanshen to go north in person, he believes that Zhao Yanshen's ability and cautious character are the best people to deal with this matter.
The first thing Zhao Yanshen did when he came to Hedong Mountain was to inquire about the composition of Liu Lisheng's forces.
It has been nine years since Liu Lisheng proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven in 525, set up a hundred officials, and established the country.
Although this small court in the mountainous area is a grass platform team, it also has more than 400 subordinates.
The most prominent are the seven grass kings.
Liu Lisheng had a total of four sons, except for the eldest son who was made the crown prince, the other three were canonized as the king of the South China Sea, the king of the North Sea, and the king of the West Sea.
In addition, there were four powerful generals who were named the king of the north, the king, the king of the south, and the king of the west.
Zhao Yan was well aware of the composition of Liu Lisheng's forces, and also set his sights on the four generals who were crowned kings.
Through a secret visit, Zhao Yanshen knew that the king of the north had been punished by Liu Lisheng, so he began to try to contact him, and after some contact that was still holding the pipa and half-covering his face, the two finally got on the line.
It was only in the work of plotting against Liu Li's promotion to generals that they had finally made initial progress.
Gao Longzhi swore an oath with Liu Lisheng instead of Xianbei He Liuhun, and I don't know if Liu Lisheng has been in the mountains for a long time and has little contact with the outside world.
Even the Xianbei man He Liuhun dared to take the oath, and Er Zhuzhao, the first lord of the party to swear an oath with him, was strangled to death in the poor mountain. The second lord of the party who had sworn an oath to him, Hobal, had just been instigated by him to be killed.
Maybe Liu Lisheng felt that he was deeply blessed, and another white horse died.
After Gao Longzhi swore an oath on his behalf, he said with a smile:
"From now on, Gao and Liu are the same family."
Liu Lisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and rewarded Gao Longzhi with a lot of property.
The two families agreed on a marriage, but the specific wedding date will not be decided until Gao Huan returns to Jinyang.
Gao Longzhi returned to Luoyang with a full harvest of the mission, leaving Zhao Yanshen to be stationed in the Hedong Mountains in the name of the envoy.
In order to avoid Liu Lisheng's suspicion, Gao Longzhi, at the suggestion of Zhao Yanshen, invited Liu Lisheng to send an envoy to the south with him and stay in Luoyang.
There is Gao Cheng in Luoyang, maybe it won't be long before Liu Lisheng's envoy will shout to be loyal to the Gao family for generations.
No way, the personality charm is full of this, understand.
Gao Huan, a Han man from far away in Hebei, also continued to meet well-known figures of Hebei's top scholars such as the Boling Cui clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Bohai Gao clan in Yecheng.
The father and son of the Gao family have not read any books, and the celebrities of Hebei will never talk about literature like Wen Zisheng visited Gao Cheng when they meet Gao Huan.
When these people reminisce about the eventful years of the past, they will also bring the younger generations of their families with them, hoping to be able to enter Gao Huan's eyes.
Gao Huan kept all these young people.
You can't just accept those who are talented and learned, and the mediocre and incompetent people will be driven away on the spot, so the behavior of slapping the face in the face is contrary to Gao Huan's purpose of winning people's hearts.
Gao Huan has already made up his mind, first bring all these people with him, take a good look at them, and those who have the ability will stay in Jinyang, and those who are not able will be sent to Luoyang, so that Gao Cheng can drive people away.
Anyway, he He Liuhun is definitely not suitable for this wicked person.
After staying in Yecheng for two months and basically communicating with the scholars of various states in Hebei, Gao Huan was allowed to return to Jinyang.

There are still two chapters in the evening, and yesterday my head was a pulp lake, and I squeezed out 2,000 words, and I forgot to thank you for the reward.
After a good night's sleep, it feels much smoother.
