Chapter 142: Brothers' Night Drink

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the general was determined to be the highest title of the general, located on the three dukes, and worshiped below the secretary, because Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were both generals, and the great Sima was the general and the official.

The Western Han Dynasty Huo Guang was in power in the name of the Great General Sima, which gave the general another meaning: 'The internal government is the national government, and the external is the exclusive conquest, and its power is far beyond the right of the prime minister'.

However, today's position as a general has long lost the glory of the Western Han Dynasty.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, various titles have been titled, such as General Jianwei, General Hussar, General of the Chinese Army, General of Zhendong, and General of the Fujun.

Until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in addition to the great generals, they also added the titles of General Zhu Guo and General of the Zhen Army, and the generals gradually lost the nature and significance of the past general military administration

Gao Cheng's series of titles includes a hussar general.

Of course, there are exceptions, and Yuan Ziyou pioneered the awarding of Er Zhurong as the general of the Heavenly Pillar.

Since Er Zhurong, the Son of Heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty has successively awarded the Tianzhu General to the two brothers Er Zhuzhao and Gao Huan, who control the government.

In order to show their respect for Er Zhurong, the two were unwilling to accept it, and they also gave other colors to the position of General Tianzhu.

Gao Cheng's general, without a title, is naturally different from that of a group of miscellaneous generals.

This is to follow the story of Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty and govern as a general.

Gao Huan could feel Gao Cheng's excitement at this time, but he didn't stay long, and sent him back to the Bohai Palace early to ask Lou Zhaojun for peace.

Gao Cheng returned to the Bohai Palace and didn't see Lou Zhaojun when he met a woman in her twenties holding a baby.

Gao Cheng has not seen many concubines of Gao Huan, this is by no means that Gao Cheng's character is not trustworthy, Gao Huan does not allow him to touch the side room.

But since Gao's fortune, Gao Cheng has lived in Luoyang for a long time, and the time to come to Jinyang is numbered, often coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

Gao Huan didn't introduce him to the side room, after all, state affairs are important.

That's right, that's why.

After just one glance at the woman, Gao Cheng recognized her identity.

She is somewhat similar to Yuan Jiyan's appearance, there is no doubt that this is Yuan Jiyan's sister, the Yuan Niang who was admitted to the room by Gao Huan.

Gao Cheng saluted her, Yuan Niang hurriedly avoided it, she held the baby in her arms and said gratefully:

"Fortunately, the son of the world spoke for the sister."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands."

Gao Cheng didn't care, he carefully looked at the baby in Yuan Niang's arms, and asked:

"This is Brother? Can you have a name? ”

"The king bestows him a name."

Yuan Niang looked down at her child with a kind face.

It turned out that the fifth son was still called Gao Xun, and Gao Cheng restored that Gao Huan named the fifth son born to Empress Yuan Ziyou Zhu Ying'e in history Gao Xun, out of some bad taste.

He Liuhun was wronged.

The newborn baby was sleepy and boring to tease, Gao Cheng said a few more words to Yuan Niang, and then quit the concubine and continued to go to Lou Zhaojun's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the house, Gao Cheng saw Lou Zhaojun with a big belly.

Pregnant?

He also lamented Gao Huan's aging, it turned out that it was not only the years that made people old, but also women.

"Ah Hui!"

Lou Zhaojun looked at Gao Cheng with a smile on his face.

Gao Cheng saluted:

"Child, please mother."

Lou Zhaojun had a big belly, and it was very inconvenient to get up, so she sat on the step and beckoned:

"Ah Hui come over and let Ah Mu take a good look."

Gao Cheng approached quickly, Lou Zhaojun rubbed Gao Cheng's face, and sighed like Gao Huan:

"Ah Hui has grown taller and grown."

Gao Cheng pointed to Lou Zhaojun's stomach and asked:

"Father has you figured out a name?"

Lou Zhaojun stroked his stomach and smiled:

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but your father said that if it's a boy, he'll give him a speech."

Gao Cheng said in his heart, sure enough.

If nothing else, this is Gao Huan's sixth son, Lou Zhaojun's third son, and Emperor Xiaozhao of Northern Qi Gao Yan.

Gao Yan is a reliable younger brother compared to Gao Yang.

During his reign of two years, he made great achievements, selected talents and talents, paid attention to people's livelihood, vigorously developed Tuntian, solved the food crisis, and in terms of martial arts, he personally went out of the Great Wall and conquered Kumo Xi in the north, and was an emperor who had made achievements in civil and military affairs.

In terms of personal morality, before ascending the throne, there were basically no black spots, and he could be regarded as a moral model among his relatives.

But such a brother-in-law who can get into the eyes a little, he still didn't control himself in the face of power, and after succeeding to the throne, he killed his nephew without telling Lou Zhaojun and abolished Emperor Gao Yin.

Gao Yang's lewd sister-in-law, Gao Yan killed his nephew, Gao Zhan both lascivious sister-in-law and nephew.

Of course, he is also killing his nephew, he is much better than the future Gao Laojiu and Gao Zhan.

Gao Yan at least knew that he was ashamed, and after being scolded by Lou Zhaojun, he suffered from mental illness and was in a trance, and finally died of injuries from a horse fall at the age of twenty-seven.

Human nature is vulnerable in the face of the temptation of power, and even Gao Yang, who has a good character, can't control it, how can Gao Yang, the tyrannical king with evil deeds, be trusted by Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng always led the army to go to battle, but he never went to the battlefield in person, just commanded in the rear, not that he was cowardly, but worried about his family.

It's like Gao Huan doesn't know his own fortunes and misfortunes, so he gives Gao Cheng power so that he can inherit the family business smoothly in the future.

Gao Cheng also doesn't know his future, so he must be even more wary of his brothers, lest not only the hard-earned inheritance be taken away by his younger brothers, but his wife and concubine will be played by them.

After talking to Lou Zhaojun for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, he guessed that Chen Yuankang had returned home, so Gao Cheng said goodbye and left.

Chen Yuankang heard that there was no banquet in the Bohai Palace, so he changed into his regular clothes and waited outside the door after leaving duty.

Sure enough, the sun came as scheduled.

"Changyu!"

Far away, both of them could only see vague figures, and Gao Cheng couldn't help but shout loudly.

Chen Yuankang walked down the stone stairs excitedly and hugged Gao Cheng quickly.

"The son of the world now even has the posture of a human master."

Facing Chen Yuankang's jokes, Gao Cheng smiled.

No way, in adolescence, he is fast in size, and these people will be amazed once when they see him.

The two walked into the door hand in hand, and Gao Cheng turned around and said to Gao Jishi before entering the door:

"Zitong go back and have a good rest, I will sleep with Changyou tonight."

Gao Jishi arranged two groups of guards to be on duty outside Chen Yuankang's mansion in shifts, and then went to find the eldest brother Gao Qian and the second brother Gao Shen.

Because Gao Qian lobbied Hebei for Gao Cheng, Gao Huan transferred Gao Shen back to Jinyang from Gwangju Assassin History, and worshiped him as the secretary of Daxingtai.

The three brothers said goodbye, and they set up a banquet of wine.

After a heart-wrenching drink, Gao Shen, who was slightly drunk, felt and said:

"Zitong, I really envy you and Ao Cao."

Gao Jishi wondered:

"What do you mean by this, second brother?"

Gao Shen sighed:

"Isn't it a great blessing in life for the lord and the minister to get along."

As soon as the words fell, he was reprimanded by Gao Qian:

"Zhong Mi Hugh wants to talk nonsense!"

and patiently explained with Gao Ji.

It turned out that although Gao Shen fled Gwangju, he was transferred to Jinyang by Gao Huan.

However, his indulgence of his subordinates' abuse of the people in Gwangju aroused Gao Huan's disgust, but if there was a small mistake, he reprimanded him.

Hearing what happened to the second brother, Gao Jishi sighed.

In fact, the relationship between their brothers is not close, since the eldest brother Gao Qian and the third brother Gao Aocao have teamed up to do mischief, and they have often implicated their father Gao Yi, so their father prefers the second brother Gao Shen.

With the death of his father, the childhood conflict has long since disappeared, but in the end, it is not as good as the relationship between Gao Qian and Gao Aocao, Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi.

Gao Jishi also had his own bitterness, he drank a full cup and said sadly:

"The son of the world treats me like a brother, but my brother has no sorrow."

After that, he sighed heavily.

Gao Qian and Gao Shen were amazed and wondered:

"Why did Zitong say this?"

Gao Ji Shi took another drink and said:

"At the beginning, Xiahou Kui and Yang Yaren rode 20,000 steps to approach Xiaohuang County, and the prince convened the generals to discuss the matter, and I set up a plot for the prince, but the prince couldn't use it."

Gao Qian and Gao Shen hurriedly asked:

"What a scheme."

Drink another cup in the high season style, and then say:

"I offered a plot for the prince, saying that I would ride with five thousand horses, and take the heads of Xiahou Kui and Yang Yaren, but the prince expelled me, alas! If the prince of the world is at my request, Xiahou Kui, Yang Yaren and others have already been given the head, how can they be allowed to flee to Huainan. ”

Gao Shen was silent when he heard this, he felt that his little brother was deliberately showing off his intimate relationship with Gao Cheng.

Gao Qian wanted to speak and stopped, full of bitterness, and finally just raised his wine glass and said:

"Eat wine, eat wine."

Someone persuaded him to drink, and Gao Jishi instantly put the bitterness of not being able to show his talents to the back of his mind, and drank with the two brothers.

The three brothers drank all night, and it wasn't Gao Qian's reminder that Gao Jishi had long forgotten to go to Chen Yuankang's mansion to greet Gao Cheng.

vertex

Early in the morning, Gao Ji's footsteps came to Chen Yuankang's mansion in vain, and the guards on duty had already changed shifts.

Seeing them, Gao Jishi breathed a sigh of relief: Gao Cheng hasn't left yet.

After a few words of instruction to the guards, he lay down on the stone steps and fell asleep.

I slept for a long time, and I didn't open my eyes until noon.

At a glance, I saw Gao Cheng sitting on the stone steps.

"When did the Son of the World come out?"

Gao Jishi hurriedly got up and said.

Gao Cheng smiled:

"Don't panic, I just came out."

Gao Jishi sent Gao Cheng back to the Bohai Palace, and before he left the mansion, he complained to the guards on the side:

"Why don't you wake me up in time!"

The guards shouted one after another:

"The humble duty is to wake up the general, but the prince is not allowed, saying that he is not allowed to disturb the general's sleep."

Gao Jishi was stunned when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked:

"How long has the prince waited?"

The guards replied:

"The prince went out early in the morning and waited for the general on the stone steps for more than two hours."

Gao Jishi's eyes turned red in an instant, he turned around and went back to the Bohai Palace, and rushed straight to Gao Cheng's residence.

He used to be Gao Cheng's confidant governor, and he often went in and out with Gao Cheng, and he was also familiar with the Bohai Palace, and he had just come out, thinking that he had forgotten to tell Gao Cheng about something important, and no one stopped him.

As soon as Gao Jishi entered Gao Cheng's house, he immediately kowtowed and wept.

Straight scared Gao Cheng:

"Zitong, why is this?"

Gao Jishi immediately told all the things that he complained about last night's drinking with his two brothers and Gao Cheng during the banquet.

Gao Cheng smiled:

"Zitong and I have known each other since childhood, and I know that Zitong is upright, and he just talks after drinking, so how can he blame him."

Let's go back early to rest.

After Gao Jishi left, Gao Cheng took out a note from his arms, which recorded in detail the words of the three Gao Jishi brothers when they drank last night.

It was reported by the house slaves who were bought by Gao Qian's mansion, and then sent to Chen Yuankang's mansion by spies, and was obtained by Gao Cheng.
