After sending off the two missions, Gao Cheng refocused on the affairs of the ministry.

The so-called rectification of the rule of officials is not to create a rational system for the promotion of officials, but to subdue vested interests.

As a military merit group, Gao's group of generals promoted by military merit is not an obstacle for Gao Cheng to promote the reform of official governance.

The civil service of Gao Dang is a huge interest collective in the eyes of outsiders, but for Gao Cheng it is just a paper tiger.

If it weren't for that, he couldn't have relied on a wine banquet to force everyone to express their support for his hidden household.

But Gao Cheng wanted more than just re-establishing the official promotion system, he hoped to change the atmosphere of Northern Wei officialdom, not to mention eradicating corruption, at least not to make officials take bribes for granted.

Gao Cheng remembered that when he was awarded the post of secretary of the ministry, Gao Huan confessed that he discussed the matter with Li Yuanzhong, Sima Ziru, and Gao Longzhi.

So he decided to set up a banquet in the Bohai Palace, and invited the three of them to feast again.

There were once rumors in Luoyang that Gao Cheng, who was also a servant, was placed alongside these three servants.

But as Gao Cheng's power became more and more valuable, the rumors of the so-called four nobles had long since disappeared.

Even the children on the side of the road know that above Luoyang's head, there is only the little high king.

Among the three, Shangshu Zuo Servant and Li Yuanzhong were the most restless.

There is no good banquet, and at the last banquet, Gao Cheng ate how many hidden households of the Li family of Zhao County.

Although this sounds like a big cannibal demon king, Dan Li is such a reason.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly annoy that Yuan Angxi was cautious, and before leaving, he actually sent Li Zuyi back to his mother's house in Hebei, so that his wishful thinking failed.

I also have to sigh that Gao Cheng likes the notorious reputation of the women of the clan, but all the high-ranking officials and nobles with beautiful wives dare not leave their families alone in Luoyang.

On October 24, in the Bohai Palace, Li Yuanzhong, Sima Ziru, and Gao Long attended the meeting as scheduled.

There was no lively scene of cups and chips in the past, and even singing and dancing were not arranged, but the meals were still prepared.

On a table of delicacies on several cases, Li Yuanzhong had no intention of enjoying them.

Gao Cheng also saw his absent-minded appearance in his eyes, raised the wine cup to Li Yuanzhong, and said with a smile:

"In the past, Zhu Zhao killed the king, his father was not ashamed of his behavior, and wanted to go east to raise righteousness, when it was, Hebei was full of heroes, Cheng was ordered to go east, although the children of the Bohai Gao family, but did not go to Jizhou, insisted on meeting with the servant, the reason, Cheng no longer said much, but this central intention, the service should be known with me.

"Cheng and Shizhong have known each other for three years, I still remember the first time I arrived in Li Yuchuan, I asked to see Shizhong, Shizhong did not despise Cheng when he was young, and treated each other warmly, this friendship, Cheng will never forget it in this life."

Opening his mouth is to pull feelings, which made Li Yuanzhong raise his heart to his throat, hide his anxiety, and raise his lamp in return:

"The prince of the world is handsome, Yuan Zhong has felt extraordinary when he first saw it, and he showed his open-air assets between words, which is really rare in his life, although Yuan Zhong is stupid, how dare he slack off."

said so, but he was able to look at Gao Cheng differently back then, because of his identity as Gao Huan's eldest son.

The two of them drank it all, Gao Cheng filled another cup, and raised it to Gao Longdao:

"When my father served as the assassin of Jinzhou, Gao Shizhong followed the left and right, before and after the saddle, and the hard work was high, this cup was drunk by the father of the Cheng Dynasty."

Gao Longzhi hurriedly got up and saluted back, saying:

"Long Zhi's talent is not virtuous, but he has to be trusted by King Gao and cited as a confidant, so he has today's nobles, and Long Zhi should serve King Gao and the son of the world wholeheartedly."

Let's talk about it and drink with Gao Cheng.

Carrying the wine jug, Gao Cheng filled another glass and said to Sima Ziru:

"Sima Shizhong has a discerning eye, and his father is in the end of the relationship, and Cheng is good friends with Daorong (Sima Elimination), you and I are friends in the world, I hope this friendship can be continued by children and grandchildren."

At this time, of course, Gao Cheng would not mention that Sima Ziru chose to support the Erzhu clan when Gao Huan raised righteousness, and even though he was expelled from Luoyang by the Suspicion Cup, he did not go to Hebei to defect, but went to Nanqizhou to take office.

Even if the old man is like Sima Ziru, when he heard Gao Cheng's words, he couldn't help but feel excited, the friendship between the two families really needs to be continued by their descendants, and they will be rich and noble with the country in the future.

He forcibly concealed his excitement and said:

"The high king's bearing is high, there are few outstanding people, if the son is not blind, he can see a heroic spirit, the son and the Tao are like-minded, for me, it is a fortunate thing, how dare I hope that everyone in the descendants will have this creation."

Gao Longzhi and Sima Ziru are different from Li Yuanzhong.

Li Yuanzhong, as the sect leader of the Li clan in Zhao County, was afraid that the last banquet forced him to hand over a large number of hidden households.

Gao Longzhi is nominally a child of the Bohai Gao family, but everyone knows that his real surname is Xu, but his father was adopted as an adopted son, so he changed his surname to Gao.

Sima Ziru is a genuine former Jin clan, and his background is also considered to be the son of an official eunuch, but the prerequisite for taking in the hermit is to have accumulated acres of land for generations to settle them, Sima Ziru lived in northern Xinjiang, after the uprising of the six towns, dragged his family to the south, and the family business had long been abandoned by him.

After Gao Cheng exchanged feelings with the three of them, he finally got to the point.

"Father gave Cheng a book of officials, which can be said to have high hopes, and now the gains and losses of the court officials, you think about it is also clear, and please teach Cheng with good words."

As soon as Li Yuanzhong heard this, he finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and he was afraid that Gao Cheng would target the interests of the family again.

Even as the suzerain of the Li clan of Zhao County, he could not come forward several times to make the decision and retreat from the interests of the clan.

Seeing that Gao Cheng was going to the rule of officials, Li Yuanzhong was naturally fearless, his past character was the first good in Hebei, and the person who could be the first good person naturally did not lack money, and there was no need to ruin the reputation of the business for decades in order to accept bribes.

So Li Yuanzhong talked eloquently about the two issues of suspension and corruption, and strongly suggested that Gao Cheng abolish the suspension of the year and crack down on corruption.

Gao Longzhi almost raised his hands to agree with Li Yuanzhong's proposal, he was a figure who focused on the overall situation, otherwise Gao Longzhi in history would not have come forward to make the official impersonation public.

However, Sima Ziru avoided talking about corruption, and vigorously criticized the bad effects of lazy government and lazy government caused by Cui Liang's suspension of the year, believing that the root cause of the corruption of the government of officials was the promulgation of the suspension of the year, and as long as a good system for the promotion of officials was reconstructed, the atmosphere of officialdom would naturally improve.

Gao Cheng saw the attitude of the three of them, and fully affirmed their positive suggestions and suggestions in words, and then only chatted with everyone about family life, and no longer talked about official business.

At the time of parting, Li Yuanzhong deliberately slowed down and fell behind.

When Sima Ziru and Gao Longzhi left first, Li Yuanzhong whispered to Gao Cheng:

"Yuan Zhong wanted to promote a good thing for the prince, but unexpectedly, King Anle sent the princess to Hebei, and the future was long, and he asked the prince to wait again."

Gao Cheng looked confused when he heard this, what does it have to do with Yuan Ang's wife?

After inquiry, I learned that Li Yuanzhong thought that the daughter of the neighbor he said in Yecheng was Li Zuyi, the princess of Anle.

Because of Li Zuyi, Gao Cheng finally remembered that Yuan Ang was the unlucky guy who was summoned to the palace because Gao Yang coveted Li Zuyi, was hit by more than 100 arrows, and shot him into a hedgehog.

After his death, he couldn't live in peace, so Gao Yang deliberately raped Li Zuyi in the mourning hall.

Now that you know that there is a misunderstanding, it is natural to explain it clearly:

"The person Cheng met is actually the sister of Princess Anle."

When Li Yuanzhong heard this, his eyes were full of strange colors, Li Zu'e is now ten years old, and he met Gao Cheng three years ago, and he was only seven years old.

People can't, at least shouldn't......

Gao Cheng also knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, otherwise he wouldn't have concealed it at the beginning, but he still tried to save others' perceptions of himself:

"At that time, Cheng was only eleven, how could he understand the relationship between men and women, but he just got along for a while and regarded her as a playmate."

Li Yuanzhong was skeptical, but he was still relieved.

For the Li family of Zhaojun, Li Zu'e is much more suitable than Li Zuyi.

In the future, if the Gao family wins the country, in case of the identity of the princess of the former dynasty of Yuan Zhonghua, the widow of Qingyishui in Gao Cheng's mansion, the identity of the woman of Li Zu'e's good family, and Gao Cheng have known each other since childhood, so they will naturally take advantage of it.

sent Li Yuanzhong away, and Gao Cheng ordered the guards to find his good brother Sima to meet him.

When Gao Cheng married Song Niangzi, Sima Xiao speculated to Gao Cheng that his mother went to the temple to ask for a child before she became pregnant.

Perhaps because he was scared, Sima Zhen, who had been recuperating from his injuries for a long time, met Gao Cheng again, and did not mention whether Sima Ziru was his biological father or not.

But he still cried to Gao Cheng about the beatings and scolding he suffered.

After Gao Cheng calmed down, he said:

"Actually, I have a way, at least so that Uncle Sima will no longer treat Dao Rong harshly." Sima pleaded:

"Please also ask Zihui to have mercy and teach me bluntly."

Gao Cheng is embarrassed:

"It's a simple method, but I'm afraid it will make my uncle suffer."

Sima Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his words were even more earnest:

"Zihui must tell me the method."

This anxious appearance of filial piety made Gao Cheng call him a good guy.

Gao Cheng upheld his helpful temperament and said to Sima Xiao:

"Dao Rong can secretly collect evidence of his uncle's bribery and hand it over to Cheng, who has his own plans."

"This..."

Sima immediately hesitated.

He is simple, but not stupid, if Sima Ziru treats him harshly, he will really be imprisoned for taking bribes, so naturally he will not have the opportunity to beat and scold him, but this wealth is also over.

Gao Cheng saw his hesitation and persuaded:

"Dao Rong and I are siblings, how could I hurt Uncle Sima, wait for my uncle to be imprisoned, and then come forward to intercede for my father, and even threaten to suffer for my father.

After that, Cheng released his uncle on the grounds that the evidence was untrue, and the official was reinstated. With this experience, how can my uncle beat and scold Daorong again. ”

Sima's face changed, and finally, he made up his mind and said:

"Zihui won't lie to me, I'll go back to spy and get evidence for Zihui."

sent his good brother out of the house again, Gao Cheng began to care about the other brother's studies, and specially called Gao Yang's teacher, telling him to teach him carefully, so that he could learn and pay close attention to morality.

used other people's husbands as arrow targets, shot more than 100 arrows, and raped his wife in the mourning hall, and she was still the sister of her own wife.

This kind of behavior made Xiao Gaowang, a moral gentleman who was still beating Li Zu'e's idea just now, very angry.
