Chapter 144: Back to Hebei Again
Gao Cheng's practice of resigning and giving up and down has caused widespread discussion in Luoyang, at least on the surface, everyone unanimously affirms Gao Cheng's humble virtues.
And Zhang Shiqi, an excellent historian who witnessed the whole process, also made a truthful record of this incident:
'The metropolitan governor Cheng broke the Liang generals Xiahou Kui and Yang Yaren to recover Nanyan.
'Return to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven awarded General Cheng, Cheng to serve Gao Long's edict, stubbornly do not accept, please behead Long.
The Son of Heaven ordered Zhao Jun Wang Chen to prove Long's innocence, and Cheng resigned.
The Son of Heaven ordered Cheng to enter the palace to personally lead the general, and Cheng resigned.
'The Son of Heaven asked Longzhi: Prince Cheng of the Bohai Sea, the pillar of the country, loyal and filial piety in the four seas, I am young, I want to trust the government with the government, non-generals can not do their best, Cheng is not accepted, what is the Qing's words and teachings?
Long Zhi said: If His Majesty is not present in person, it is not enough to show sincerity.
'The Son of Heaven invited from Longzhi to the king's mansion and conferred the title of general on Cheng.
Cheng wept and prayed, saying: The father and son of the minister, with the body of the micro, enjoy the position of honor, all rely on the kindness of His Majesty, His Majesty does not take the young of the minister, entrusts the government, and the minister dares not to do his best to repay the kindness of His Majesty's knowledge.
'It is a great general.
'The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and said: King Gao is my leader, the general governs the government for me, and the father and son are loyal to the country, and I have no worries. ’
After the Gao dynasty of Wei, Zhang Shiqi was commissioned to compile the history of Wei, and when writing the Yuan Shanjian Benji, he also cited his own original records.
Of course, I won't talk about it later, but look at the present.
Gao Cheng was appointed as a general, and the first thing he did was to send someone to Wang Si's government to talk to the media, Wang Lao was a figure he had to rely on, and even if his daughter was just accepted as a side room, he couldn't fool things into the door.
The two agreed on the marriage date, and Xiao Gaowang, who is usually the best health, set the family affair for next year, and Wang Sizheng also fully understood Gao Cheng's reasons.
At the same time, Gao Cheng dismissed Wang Sizheng's cronies from the post of governor, divided 3,000 people from his direct subordinate subordinates, handed them over to Wang Sizheng's command, and transferred him to the Gyeonggi Army and appointed him as the governor.
Just when Gao Cheng was full of ambition and began to prepare for the construction of the new Great Wei, the letter had a message, which was sent to Jinyang and Luoyang respectively:
'Jizhou Assassin Shi Wei Jing recruited people to hunt, and 300 people died. ’
Dingzhou Assassin History, the general Di Gan went to Jinyang in person and asked Gao Huan for the position of lieutenant of Yushi.
This made Gao Huan very strange, why did Di Gan put the Dingzhou Assassin Shi inappropriately, and wanted to be a lowly official like the Lieutenant of the Imperial History, so he asked the reason.
Di Digan said angrily:
"I'm going to arrest Wei Jing!"
He is Gao Huan's brother-in-law, and he and Wei Jing are naturally brothers-in-law, but the relationship between the two is not good.
Di Digan was born in a wealthy family, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and did not read any books.
But he is more sensible than many scholars, and he is an honest official and lives a frugal life.
How can such a person have a good impression of Wei Jing, who is corrupt and bribery, and exploits the people.
The officialdom atmosphere is like this, and Di Gan didn't persuade him much, so he just didn't have a relative of Wei Jing.
But this time, Wei Jing hunted and caused 300 lives, which made Wei Digan unable to bear it anymore.
That's why he went to Jinyang to ask for a meeting and asked Gao Huan for Lieutenant Yushi, hoping to arrest and punish Wei Jing.
Gao Huan himself is from the bottom, and what he hates most is the abuse of the people, if he had changed others, he would have been dismissed and investigated.
But Wei Jing is different after all.
Gao Huan was born, his mother Han Qiji died in childbirth, and his father Gao Shu was born as a continuation and left him to his sister Gao Loujin and brother-in-law Wei Jing to raise.
Duan Chang just encouraged Gao Huan at the end of the year, and Gao Huan posthumously presented him with Sikong and crowned his descendants as officials.
With Wei Jing's kindness, what else can Gao Huan do, can he really let Wei Digan arrest Wei Jing and punish him.
can only be relieved, and then ordered someone to recruit Wei Jing to come to Xindu, planning to persuade his brother-in-law to be more restrained in the future.
However, what Gao Huan didn't expect was that before him, Luoyang's disposal of Wei Jing had already been decided.
And the one who led this matter was the general Gao Cheng.
Since Gao Cheng insisted on prosecuting the impostor officials, Gao Huan ordered Wei Jing to go to Luoyang to punish Gao Cheng.
Wei Jing actually fought, and a grudge was formed between the two.
Now that he learned about what Wei Jing was doing in Jizhou, Gao Cheng couldn't bear it, and immediately recruited Yushi Du Bi.
This is the second time Du Bi has come to the Bohai Palace, and the last time he came, it was Gao Cheng who instructed him to impeach Sima Ziru, a noble of the Gao Party, and since then he has given the imperial historians the right to be exempted from being convicted for their words.
And this time, when Gao Cheng told Du Bi about Hou Jing's crime and asked him to impeach Wei Jing.
Du Bi was worried that with Wei Jing's identity, Gao Cheng would really punish him, not that he was worried about Wei Jing's revenge, if Du Bi was afraid of retaliation, he would not have supported Yu Shitai alone.
In this regard, Gao Cheng said:
"What Wei Jing did, the sky is angry and resentful, even if Cheng can't take his life, he must not let him be in a high position, continue to abuse the people, and ask Du Yushi Mo to question Cheng's determination!"
Du Bi said solemnly:
"If the general really wants to deal with Wei Jing, how dare Bi spare his life."
After bidding farewell to Gao Cheng, Du Bi immediately returned to the Yushi Platform to write a note, and impeached Jizhou Assassin Shi Weijing to the sky.
And Wei Jing's hunting caused the death of 300 people, as well as his usual actions, were also known by the people of Luoyang, and for a time the whole city was indignant, and the angry scolding of Wei Jing spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang.
Even though Wei Jing, as Gao Huan's brother-in-law, has the grace of nurturing, the nobles of the Gao family in Luoyang all know that Gao Cheng is behind this matter, and they are all shouting for Gao Cheng.
One is a brother-in-law, the other is the eldest son, fools know how to choose sides, and those who follow Gao Huan Jianyi to enjoy a high position, how can anyone be a real fool.
And before that, Gao Cheng also specially visited his uncle, the leading general Lou Zhao.
Lou Zhao is upright, magnanimous, and equally indignant at Wei Jing's behavior, seeing that his nephew also specially asked himself, he naturally expressed his support for Gao Cheng, but also reminded Gao Cheng that with Gao Huan's affectionate temperament, he was afraid that he would spare Wei Jing in the end.
Gao Cheng knew it in his heart, so he had a word with Du Bi.
If you can't kill the enemy of Wei Jing, you will also lose your official position, and you will have no chance to kill the people in the local area.
Even if Gao Huan wanted to use Wei Jing, he didn't want to go anywhere except Jinyang and Luoyang.
I really don't believe it, I just want to remove the crime-ridden Wei Jing from office, Gao Huan really doesn't recognize his son.
Therefore, with Gao Cheng's behind-the-scenes manipulation and the support of public opinion in the city, Yuan Shanjian's case of Zhao Weijing was handed over to Gao Cheng for trial.
Gao Cheng got the edict and arranged the affairs of Luoyang.
Because Wang Sizheng was transferred to the Gyeonggi Army, he temporarily took charge of his cronies in the Gao Ji style, and went with him to Hebei to arrest Wei Jing.
The arrest of Wei Jing can only be done by Gao Cheng himself, even Duan Shao can't do it for him.
Wherever others go out of town, they all have their families in Jinyang as hostages, but the relatives of the Gao family are naturally different.
Gao Loujin is in Xindu, and Gao Cheng's other cousin Wei Cang is accompanying him.
The others went to arrest Wei Jing, but they were afraid that they would be killed by Yu Cang with an arrow before they entered the door, and Wei Cang was really capable of doing this kind of thing.
The Northern Qi Dynasty was established, and there was no posthumous title for Wei Jing, and Wei Cang closed his door for more than ten days.
Gao Yang's envoy said outside the door that he had to open the door in order to chase the seal, but Wei Cang didn't listen, and directly bent his bow and shot arrows at the messenger through the door.
However, after this scene, he also asked for a prince for Wei Jing from Gao Yang.
Even if Gao Cheng sent Duan Shao to Hebei, Wei Cang didn't dare to touch him, but as soon as Gao Loujin came forward, what else could Duan Shao do.
This is the sister who raised Gao Huan, compared to her, Duan Shao's kinship has turned a corner, and she is just the son of Lou Zhaojun's sister.
This kind of wicked person can only be Gao Cheng himself, and only he can save the face of his aunt.
More than 500 people rode one person and two horses straight to the capital of Xin.
Xindu, this city carries too many memories of Gao Cheng and Gao Jishi.
At that time, it was here that the eleven-year-old Gao Cheng and the sixteen-year-old Gao Jishi met.
After Gao Huan captured Xiangzhou, Gao Cheng was recruited to Yecheng and never returned to the city where their father and son made their fortunes.
Xindu City was close at hand, and Gao Cheng said to Gao Jishi:
"Zitong, don't follow me into the city."
Gao Jishi snorted coldly and refused:
"Others are afraid of Wei Jing, but I'm not afraid! Since the general chose to go with me among the crowd, I naturally wanted to arrest Wei Jing with the general. ”
Gao Cheng shook his head and said:
"The reason why it is difficult to capture Wei Jing is because of my aunt and his identity, but there will never be danger, not to mention that I have five hundred horsemen under my command.
"The reason why I asked Zitong to go north with me is to give you time to sweep the grave of your deceased father, you calculate, how long have you not returned to your hometown to visit after me all these years."
Since the first year of Taichang (532), in August, Gao Cheng, a high-season guard, returned to Hebei to preside over the examination, during which the defendant returned to his hometown on leave and built a tomb for his deceased father Gao Yi.
Until April of the fourth year of Taichang (535), Gao Jishi has never returned to his hometown in Bohai, let alone worshiped his deceased father.
And the reason why Gao Cheng brought him to Jizhou was naturally to let him take the opportunity to go to his hometown in Bohai to worship and sweep the tomb.
Gao Cheng thought so thoughtfully for him, and Gao Jishi remembered it, but he still refused:
"I'm not in a hurry to worship, wait until I capture Wei Jing for the general, and then go to the Bohai Sea to worship."
"That's it! According to Zitong's words. ”
Gao Cheng saw that he was resolute, so he agreed.
Seeing more than 500 people and more than 1,000 war horses coming towards Xindu City, the guards did not panic.
This is the southern part of Hebei, the real hinterland, and if you can take out thousands of war horses, how can you be a thief.
But just in case, the gatekeeper handed over the only horse in the group to a soldier who knew how to horse, and asked him to go and inquire about his identity.
This horse is also used to gallop around the city to report news in case of emergency.
The soldier rode away, and when he walked not far from Gao Cheng, he only felt familiar when he saw Gao Cheng's appearance, and when he looked at Gao Jishi, who was half a body behind Gao Cheng, this native Xindu was shocked: Isn't this Gao Jia Shiro, Gao Ji style!
Didn't he follow the prince of Bohai to Luoyang, why did he come back again.
Thinking about it like this, I immediately remembered the appearance of the eleven or twelve-year-old boy I had seen from afar.
Before he could dismount and bow down, a guard intercepted him and shouted:
"Bold! The general is in front of him, how dare he look at it rudely! ”
