Li Yuanzhong left Hebei with a full stomach full of entanglements, and he was originally pulled by Gao Cheng to solve the hidden household problem of the Li family in Zhao County.

Now that the Li clan of Zhaojun has handed over the list of hidden households under the auspices of his suzerain, he will naturally not stay in Hebei for long.

Li Yuanzhong didn't want Gao Longzhi to substitute for him.

At the same time, Gao Cheng finally waited for the envoys of the counties of Hebei in Yecheng.

Everyone in front of them has their own appearance, but unlike Zhang Dexing's dark complexion in the sun and rain, many people are fair-skinned and rich.

Most of these people came from poor families, and once they were successful, they did things differently.

Some people are honest, some people are corrupt, some people are diligent, and some people are slack.

In fact, Gao Cheng had already investigated what these people had done, but he still asked everyone to take turns to report on their work, telling him in detail what they had done during the tenure of Juntian in the past two years.

In addition to corruption, people who have done some practical things also have something to say, and it is the right thing to say.

And those who neglect government can only fabricate deeds, and they can't tell Gao Cheng that they have been sitting in the hall for two years.

The pedestrian seal has the Great Wei Tianzi, who is deeply loved by the Gao family's father and son, or not so much.

Gao Cheng patiently listened to the work reports of these people, and then clapped his hands and asked people to send a stack of envelopes and distribute them to everyone according to their names.

"When I first gave you the appointment, I encouraged you and said that you were my protégé of Gao Cheng.

"Some people listen to it in their ears and put it in their hearts, and some people don't take it seriously and just think I'm just talking.

"Now you all have the envelope, and it is written about what you have done in the past two years."

Someone wanted to demolish it on the spot, Gao Cheng had the intention to save some face for some people, so he stopped:

"Don't dismantle it yet, go back and look at it."

Seeing that everyone put away the envelope with a heavy heart, Gao Cheng continued:

"Since the establishment of the Zhenlie Gong (Cui Liang), the Great Wei Dynasty has not promoted officials based on talent and political achievements, but only on the basis of seniority.

"Some people don't believe me, they feel that they have no reliance, and there is no hope for promotion, so they have no intention of managing things and focusing on accumulating wealth.

"You have been a Juntian envoy for two years, and you also know that although the official rank is low, but the power is very heavy, and you control the distribution and recovery of public land in a state and a county, many of you have taken this opportunity to accumulate a lot of net worth, and I Gao Zihui has not treated everyone badly."

"The prince treats me well."

Some of them were visibly lacking in breath.

Many people who are weak in heart because of corruption have already raised their hearts.

"The Great Wei officials are like this, and it is really difficult for strong people to order you to be honest and honest."

Gao Cheng had no good face at this time, he slapped the case and asked sharply:

"But why are some of you who are not distracted from doing something practical for the people while amassing wealth?"

In the face of Gao Cheng's questioning, everyone was speechless.

The words are very clear, in Gao Cheng's words, of course he can't be wrong, but everyone doesn't believe that he really regards the big guy as a protégé, and thinks that under the framework of the suspension of the year, he can only be promoted by seniority, which can cause such consequences.

He has been completely derelict in his duty of ignoring these people for two years.

"The envelope in your hands contains my evaluation of what I have done in the past two years, including A, B, C, D, and so on.

"The first class is a person who is honest and diligent in political affairs, and I will reward those who get the first class."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng glanced at Zhang Dexing and continued:

"Although the second class accepts bribes, but is able to do anything, among which the merit is outstanding, I will promote them as appropriate, as for the future, whether it is promotion, demotion or dismissal, it is not my thoughts, but your actions.

"Although the third class is not bribed, but also dereliction of duty, on time to receive the salary, do not want to forge ahead, thinking that you do not know my mind, I will keep you and so on, a year later, if you still do not change the past, all of them will be dismissed and investigated!

"Ding and other people are the most hateful, they only know how to accumulate money, and they don't care about political affairs, such moths, I still keep doing it! After returning to the governor, he handed in his resignation to the governor of the state and county, and handed over all the proceeds of the bribes to the public, but if there is a shortage of a certain amount, I have to send him to the mine, don't think of it in this life! ”

The standards are there, and everyone knows very well what they have done.

People who think that they can get the first class, or even the second class, have outstanding merit in the envelope covering their chests, and their expressions are naturally happy.

The rest of the second class and the third class also breathed a sigh of relief: there was still a chance to make amends.

And the person who thought that Ding was the other was pale, because Gao Cheng had spoken first, and he didn't dare to open the envelope in public to confirm.

"Stand down, as recorded in the letter, anyone who has objections can come to me, I will open a court for you, if you are indeed wronged, I will wash away the injustice for you, if you mess around, I will punish you severely!"

Gao Cheng waved his hand and retreated from everyone, even Zhang Dexing did not stay.

At the beginning, there were more than these candidates admitted in Hebei, but the agricultural department was the most valued by Gao Cheng.

He also had to find time to meet with the rest of the protégés of the four disciplines, such as the preparation of thieves, the criminal law department, the taxation department, and the engineering and technical department.

As for the remaining virtuous subjects established for political correctness, the examination was Confucian classics, and the number of admissions was the smallest.

At the same time, with the Bohai Gao family, the Boling Cui family, and the Zhaojun Li family, together with the Bohai Feng family, the Diao family and other small families to Yecheng to present their household registration, the rest of the families couldn't sit still.

The first to act was the Julu Wei clan.

When Wei sent the list of hidden households, Wei Shui, who was known as Gao Cheng's staff Xing Shao and Wen Zisheng, accompanied Gao Cheng to visit him.

Gao Cheng warmly received the Wei people and talked about history with Wei Shu, the author of the Book of Wei.

The two developed a mutual affection for each other because of their rigorous historiographical attitudes.

Gao Cheng sent an invitation to Wei Shui to enter the scene, and Wei Shui also responded happily, which is also the reason why the Julu Wei family presented the roster, but had to bring Wei Shui with him, and King Xiao Gao knew it.

With Wei Shui entering the Gao Cheng shogunate, Gao Cheng collected all the three talents in the north.

In the future, the history of the Great Wei will still be handed over to Wei Shu, who is full of talent and learning, and the image of Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, the father and son, and the image of the Great Wei Zhongliang cannot be discredited.

Even if he receives Zen in the future, it will be a hundred officials crying and begging, and it is the Son of Heaven himself, and what kind of coercion by the ministers will not happen at all.

There is the example of Wei's income from the Gaocheng shogunate, and the Qinghe Cui clan finally began to organize the list of hidden households.

Qinghe Cui's family has always been proud of its family, even after experiencing Cui Hao's catastrophe, Emperor Xiaowen's Sinicization reform, still set Qinghe Cui's and Fanyang Lu's, Taiyuan Wang's, and Xingyang Zheng's as the four surnames, thinking that they are the most popular.

Gao Huan's staff Cui? once said to his friend Fan Yang Lu's disciple Lu Yuanming:

'The most prosperous family in the world, there are only you and me, the Boling Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan, which is insignificant. ’

When Gao Huan rebelled in Hebei, the Qinghe Cui clan was a step late because they were busy with their careers.

The Qinghe Cui clan led more than 100,000 displaced people in Qingzhou to rebel against the Erzhu clan.

However, he was defeated by the generals of Erzhu Zhongyuan's faction, who controlled the land of Xu Yan, the first righteous person was killed, and the rest of them defected to Gao Huan.

Qinghe Cui's door is placed there, even if he goes late, there is also Cui? , Cui Zhongwen and others entered the Gao Huan shogunate.

But with the clear division of labor between the father and son of the Gao family, after Gao Huan was in charge of the army and Gao Cheng was in power, the Qinghe Cui family also began to be anxious.

As the heir of the Gao family, Gao Cheng is surrounded by Boling Sancui.

These three people preside over all the government affairs of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, once Gao Cheng inherits his father's official title and usurps the country in the future, among the scholars and gates, is there still a nobleman who can be nobler than the Boling Choi clan who has three cui?

Faced with such a problem, there are two ways, either to bring down the Gao clan, or to send the children of the clan to compete with Sancui for the throne.

The three Cui are all under Gao Cheng's command, but the Boling Cui clan has long supported the Gao clan with a clear banner, which is the reason for being trusted.

For example, Cui Xian was transferred to the Gao Cheng shogunate by Gao Huan.

Now that the Gao clan's rule in the Kanto region is solid, coupled with the abilities of Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, it is tantamount to an idiot's dream to overthrow them.

Then there is only the second path left for the Qinghe Cui clan.

On the ninth day of August, Gao Cheng has been in Yecheng for nearly a month, and there is still half a month before Gao Yang's wedding.

Qinghe Cui's Hebei two-room Qinghe big house, Qinghe small house, and Qinghe Qingzhou house across the river from Hebei, the person in charge of the three rooms each brought a family Junyan to Yecheng to visit Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng didn't dare to slack off, how could the family that could still rise after being wiped out by the nine clans be underestimated.

Gao Cheng knew their intentions and was happy to see this situation.

Xiao Gao Wang Xinzhong Boling San Cui is true, especially in love with Cui Jishu, after all, he is one of Gao Cheng's three staff, Chen, Yang, and Cui.

But now Sam Choi is in charge of all government affairs in the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, which makes the sensitive Gao Cheng suspicious.

This is also the reason why he insisted on taking over the errand of Suo Kuo's household registration and wanted to go to Hebei to inspect: to take the opportunity to recruit talents.

No one really thinks that Xiao Gao Wang is worried about Gao Longzhi's retreat.

In history, Gao Longzhi presided over the investigation of hidden households, although it went through twists and turns, but after all, it brought a large number of household registrations to the imperial court.

Looking at Gao Cheng going to Hebei in person, these scholars not only have to take the initiative to offer him a hidden household, but also go to Xiao Gaowang's side to be a rising star among the Serbs, a win-win situation!

Gao Cheng always pretends to take the school examination for the junjie brought by various families, and then accepts it.

Every time a family contributes a hidden register, it means that the officials of a state and county must work hard.

Yinzhou has Zhaojun Li's, Dingzhou has Boling Cui's, Jizhou has Bohai Gao's, Xiangzhou has Qinghe Cui's, driven by these top gate valves, the rest of the families in southern Hebei have also cooperated.

The Hebei clan only has the Youzhou Fanyang Lu clan left.

Fan Yang Lu is also regarded as the Yuan of the Gao family, they instigated Liu Lingzhu, the god of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to rebel against the Erzhu family, after Liu Lingzhu's death, it coincided with Gao Huan's eastward departure, and Fan Yang Taishou Lu Wenwei, who had conspired with Liu Lingzhu, immediately defected to Gao Huan.

After Gao Huan completely took control of Guandong, he transferred Lu Wenwei from Anzhou in northern Hebei to Dongyongzhou.

Gao Cheng had already sent a letter to Dongyongzhou, hoping to recruit Lu Wenwei's grandson Lu Xunzu to his shogunate.

After Lu Wenwei received the letter, he immediately sent a letter to Hebei and handed it to his son Fan Yang Taishou Lu Gongdao.

When Qinghe began to take stock of the hidden households, Lu Xunzu also visited Gao Cheng with the clan elders with the list of hidden households, and was admitted to the shogunate by Gao Cheng.

Gao Huan regarded it as a difficult matter to check the Hebei household registration, among which the most difficult four surnames and five families, Bohai Gao, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, and Fan Yanglu, were easily solved by Gao Cheng by various means, or coercion, or exchange of interests.

On August 24, Gao Yang, the second sister and brother and Liu Lisheng's children were married.

The crown prince sent by Liu Lisheng to Jinyang to welcome his relatives has been imprisoned.

And Gao Yang, who successfully welcomed Liu Lisheng's daughter, had just left Yunyang Valley, and Gao Huan, who had already prepared, led the army to kill later.

Liu Lisheng was caught off guard and led his troops to flee to the mountains in a hurry.

On the third day of the ninth month, at the instigation of Zhao Yanshen, Liu Lisheng commanded the king of the north, and united the king of the east and the king of the south to attack and kill Liu Lisheng.

Liu Lisheng died, and the king of the west guarded his family and fled, and on the way, Liu Lisheng's son Nanhai Wang was appointed as the son of heaven.

Gao Huan ordered the king of the north, the king of the east, and the king of the south to pursue, and he himself collected the households.

The three kings of Caotou killed the king of the west, defeated the rest of the Liu family, captured Liu Lisheng's family, and were about to be escorted to Gao Huan.

It was Zhao Yanshen's words again, and he persuaded according to Gao Cheng's instructions:

"King Gao is benevolent and kind, and he doesn't want to kill indiscriminately, you are sent to King Gao, and the sons of the Liu family will definitely live, even if they kill their father, how can they indulge in their sons and leave them to avenge their father?"

So the three kings of Caotou killed Liu Lisheng's heirs, and the rest of the female dependents, including Liu Lisheng and his son's wives and concubines, entered to offer Gao Huan.

Gao Huan captured more than 50,000 households of Hanhu in this battle, and all of them moved to other places, although the three kings of Caotou lost their titles, they were also able to share most of Liu Lisheng's troops.

Entrenched in the mountainous area of Hedong for nearly ten years, invading the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Lisheng's forces, known as Hu Huang, have since withdrawn from the historical stage.

After returning to Jinyang, Gao Huan was worried that someone would have nostalgia for the old master, so he executed the imprisoned prince Liu Lisheng, and ordered Gao Yang to continue to hold a wedding with Liu Lisheng's daughter to appease people's hearts.

Perhaps it was because of the mother and young sister who were relocated to Jinyang, or more likely out of fear for their own future, Liu obediently held a wedding with Gao Yang.

After the wedding, Gao Huan waited for the news of Gao Cheng's return to Luoyang, and arranged for someone to escort Gao Yang and Liu to Luoyang, and handed Gao Yang over to his eldest son Gao Cheng to teach.

And Gao Cheng, who was far away in Yecheng, heard that Liu Lisheng had fallen, and said to Zhang Shiqi in the secret room:

"It is unrighteous for the father to make an appointment with a man to marry him, but he betrays his trust.

"It is unkind to destroy his kingdom and punish his sons.

"Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, gaining power but not being benevolent, I should deeply refrain from it."

With a worried look on his face, he couldn't tell that he was offering Gao Huan a marriage strategy.

He also ordered Zhao Yanshen to instigate Liu Lisheng to kill all the sons of the Liu family, just to make the three kings of Caotou and the Liu family have a mortal enmity, and it is impossible to become Gao Yang's help because of the relationship between Liu Lisheng's daughter.

Of course, there are not many people who know these inside information, and even the three kings of Caotou think that Zhao Yanshen is acting at the behest of Gao Huan.

After Zhang Shiqi listened to Gao Cheng's worries, he took out his secret booklet that night and recorded Gao Cheng's worries about Gao Huan's actions.

Wei collected the "Book of Wei", and when talking about the Hu famine caused by Liu Lisheng, he also truthfully quoted Zhang Shiqi's records.

Later generations look at history, whether it is the official history or the wild history, and Gao Cheng is not involved.

So Gao Cheng's evaluation of Gao Huan has also become a fan of the little Gao King in later generations, one of the evidences that Gao Cheng's benevolence and righteousness are unique.

------Off topic------

The second one was brought, the ending was modified, rested, good night.
