Chapter 154: The King of Fighters Sends Envoys
Hou Yuan once wrote to Fan Zihu, hoping to make sufficient preparations to do it again, and Gao Cheng also thoughtfully used Hou Yuan to help Fan Zihu set the time for the move after the autumn harvest.
The statement about Fan Zihu is naturally to reserve grain and grass, and for Gao Cheng, he is not worried that the military rebellion will ruin the harvest of Yanzhou and other places in a year.
While dealing with the internal position adjustment, Gao Cheng also began to prepare to deal with the rebellion of Fan Zihu, Daye Ba and others.
Cui Jishu did not step down as the head of the General's Mansion at that time, and was recruited to the Bohai Palace by Gao Cheng on the grounds of deliberations.
As soon as he entered the wing room where Gao Cheng often discussed with his confidants, he saw the screen with his name in the first place, and Cui Jishu felt like a breeze blowing on his face, and his whole body was refreshed.
"Uncle is sitting down."
Without waiting for Cui Jishu to salute, Gao Cheng cordially called Cui Jishu's expression and greeted.
After Cui Jishu took his seat, Gao Cheng suddenly sighed:
"After a while, Uncle Zheng has been with Cheng for five years, and he has worked hard, so it's time for Uncle Zheng to take the lead."
Cui Jishu became short of breath when he heard this, he didn't have a normal heart.
At the beginning, the eldest nephew Cui Xian crossed his successor to Changshi, and then left the shogunate to serve in the ministry first, which made Cui Jishu jealous.
It's just that they were all appeased by Gao Cheng's kind words and resolved.
Now it is related to the dispatch behind his appearance, how can it not make Cui Jishu nervous.
He took a deep breath and pretended to be indifferent:
"Where to go, the servants obey the orders of the general, and only want to be able to serve the general."
Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled:
"The work of dogs and horses has its own dogs and horses, what does it have to do with the country."
Looking at the uncontrollable joy on Cui Jishu's face, Gao Cheng continued:
"I once said to Zunyan (Yang Su) that he did not know the local hardships and hardships, so he sent Zunyan out of Dongjingzhou after pacifying Sanjing.
"Since Zunyan took office, he has dug canals to irrigate, persuaded the people to do agriculture, and severely punished the treacherous officials, so that the people applauded.
"And I have the same expectation for Shu Zheng, in the future, Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia provinces will need someone in charge, and Cheng hopes that Shu Zheng will be among them."
Cui Ji's comfortable door has been lost, and he can no longer pretend to be indifferent.
Although Ping Su used Zai Fu to encourage himself, he really heard from Gao Cheng at this time that it was completely different, which represented Gao Cheng's emphasis on himself and his recognition of his talents.
The functions and powers of the three provinces are different, and their status in various periods is also high, such as the current Eastern Wei Dynasty, because Gao Cheng was appointed as Shangshu Ling, and the six departments of Jushangshu Province were taken into charge of the government, and the rest of the Zhongshu and Menxia provinces were also marginalized.
Cui Jishu can't help but have a trace of competing with Yang Su now: Isn't it just to govern the place? I want to prove to the general that I can not only fight, but also govern the place better than Yang Su, and let him go to the province to eat ashes.
Thinking like this, Cui Jishu got up and pleaded:
"The servant asked the prince to let Ji Shu go to the place to sharpen."
Gao Cheng motioned for him to sit down first, shook his head and said:
"This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, before that, Cheng still has one more thing that Uncle Zheng needs to worry about me."
"The general has words, and the servants should not obey."
Cui Jishu is colorful.
Gao Cheng told Cui Jishu about Hou Yuan's revelation that Fan Zihu was plotting a rebellion and that he had Hou Yuan as an internal response, and said earnestly:
"Now that everything is in place, there is only one person left to deceive Fan Zihu for me and Hou Yuan."
Speaking of which, Cui Jishu still didn't understand what Gao Cheng meant, and immediately asked:
"The servant is willing to take on this important task for the son."
Gao Cheng sighed and said:
"Cheng also thinks that Uncle is the most suitable candidate, but when the person who is appointed goes to Qingzhou, he needs to travel through Yanzhou, and Uncle Zheng needs to think about it carefully."
traveled from Luoyang to Qingzhou, and deliberately bypassed Yanzhou, even if Fan Zihu was a fool, he could find something strange in it.
"The general has said that Fan Zihu has decided to make a move after the autumn harvest, and the servant is now traveling through Yanzhou, what is the danger? He also asked the general to accept the appointment of a servant. ”
Cui Jishu insisted.
Gao Cheng hesitated again and again, but finally agreed to Cui Jishu's request.
In fact, if it is just a battle formation, there is no need to do more.
But once the battle is fought, it is the vitality of Yanzhou that is damaged.
But if you don't have to go through the army, let Hou Yuan bring him the heads of Fan Zihu and Dayeba, you must act in this scene.
The example of He Batyue is in front of him, who would dare to put himself in danger easily.
In the middle of July of the fourth year of Taichang (535), Cui Jishu officially resigned from the post of the governor of the general's mansion, and Yuan Shanjian took Cui Jishu as an angel to inspect the Qingqi region on his behalf.
Cui Jishu led the team to be ordered out of Luoyang and went to Qingzhou first, treating local officials with no good face along the way, and he was extremely arrogant.
Cui Jishu ostensibly served the orders of the Son of Heaven, but everyone knew that he represented Gao Cheng, after all, the political background was there, and he had been Gao Cheng's confidant for five years.
Because of the fear of Gao Cheng, he can only serve carefully
Even if it enters the territory of Yanzhou, it will not converge.
Such a move made Fan Zihu not suspicious.
Cui Jishu, who was ordered to inspect Qingqi, finally entered Qingzhou smoothly and was greeted by Hou Yuan and other Qingzhou officials at the border of the pipeline state.
Facing Hou Yuan, the assassin who came to greet him, Cui Jishu couldn't wait to ask:
"I wonder if there are prostitutes in the city?"
The Qingzhou bureaucrats who came to greet them were all in an uproar.
They all know that the father and son of the Gao family are lustful, and they can't imagine that the people around them are no better.
I thought so, but I didn't dare to show it.
Even Hou Yuan could only smile and order someone to go back to Dongyang City to prepare a prostitute for Cui Jishu's residence.
He also asked Cui Ji to follow him to the Assassin's Mansion for a banquet.
Cui Jishu saw Hou Yuan being so good, and he also admired his face and followed him to the Assassin's Mansion for a banquet.
A group of officials from Qingzhou accompanied him.
During the banquet, Hou Yuan let his favorite concubine dance.
This woman has a beautiful appearance, a bewitching and graceful figure, and is the most good at dancing, and Hou Yuan always likes to show off this concubine at banquets in the past.
But unexpectedly, Cui Jishu's eyes were always aimed at the concubine, and his eyes were straight.
Hou Yuan's face was pale, and others couldn't help coughing to remind Cui Jishu, but Cui Jishu didn't hear it.
After the dance, Cui Jishu was still unsatisfied, and he said to everyone in the audience:
"The reason why I inspected Qingqi was to look for Mei Ji for the general."
When everyone heard this, they scolded in their hearts, but they also felt that this matter might really be the main mission of Cui Jishu's trip.
was about to deal with this matter and look for a beautiful woman for Gao Cheng.
But I heard Cui Jishu continue:
"The general is a good wife, I don't know if Hou Tingshi can endure the pain and cut his love, and give the side room of the dance to the general."
As soon as he said this, the corners of Hou Yuan's forehead were bruised.
Everyone thought that this person was really daring, and he actually asked for Hou Yuan's concubine directly.
If Hou Yuan really responds to this, how can he still have the face to dominate Qingzhou in the future.
He flatly refused:
"As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, and what he loves in this abyss can't be given away."
Cui Jishu slapped the table and shouted:
"Good! The reason why I am doing this is to test whether Hou Tingshi is loyal to the general, and now it seems that ...... Hum! ”
A cold snort, and the audience did not change color.
Hou Yuan was also annoyed:
"Even if the general is there in person, Yuan still can't obey his fate!"
Cui Jishu said with a cold face:
"If I have to bring that woman back to Luoyang today, what should Hou Tingshi do?"
Hou Yuan looked straight at him and said:
"Then the only way to do this is to send the Cui envoy out of Qingzhou."
Cui Jishu snorted coldly:
"There is no need for Hou Tingshi to send him off, Cui can go back to Luoyang, and when the general leads the army in person, please also ask Hou Tingshi to have today's toughness!"
Hou Yuan was so threatened like this that he was furious, and he shouted:
"Someone!"
The guards of the Assassin's Mansion poured in one after another.
Cui Jishu seemed to be a little afraid, and he said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Is it difficult for Hou Assassin Shi to kill the angel and forget the responsibility of He Batsheng for killing the envoy?"
Hou Yuan said disdainfully:
"Killing you is not dirty my hands, it is Qingzhou that I ushered you in, and I should send you out of the country!"
After that, he commanded the guards:
"Banish this man for me."
"Hou Yuan! Thou hast insulted me today, and I will repay it the day to come." ”
Cui Jishu was taken out of the assassination mansion, and the shouts kept coming, but they were getting farther and farther away.
Before he had time to enjoy the gentleness of the beautiful prostitute that had been prepared, he was expelled from Qingzhou, Cui Jishu felt deeply humiliated, and on the way back to Luoyang, he threatened Hou Yuan all the way to rebel.
Of course, Yanzhou Fan Zihu and Dayeba, who are adjacent to Qingzhou, also knew about this incident and sent envoys to express their condolences to Hou Yuan.
And convinced that this matter was true, it was concluded that Hou Yuan must be against Gao Cheng.
First of all, Cui Jishu will not make people suspicious if he comes to do this.
Who is Cui Jishu, who beat two emperors of Kansai and a pair of iron fists to control Kanto.
And Gao Cheng's good woman is also a well-known thing.
The extremely arrogant Cui Jishu asked Hou Yuan for a beautiful concubine on behalf of Gao Cheng.
Whether it's really lustful or tempting Hou Yuan.
It couldn't be more true.
When Cui Jishu returned to Luoyang, it was already after the autumn harvest.
Fan Zihu raised troops in Yanzhou, claiming that the Gao family would bring disaster to the country, bullying the Son of Heaven, and shouting the slogan of respecting the king and returning the government to the Son of Heaven.
Nanqingzhou Thorn Shi Daye Ba and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Hou Yuan responded together.
When Gao Cheng heard the news in Luoyang, he laughed dumbly.
Good guy, respect the king, and return the son of heaven.
The Curtain Fall Movement is coming, well, the rule of the Shogunate of General Gao Cheng, who overthrew Luoyang, why can't it be called the Fall of the Curtain.
And Fan Zihu's return to power, the little emperor Yuan Shanzheng was trembling when he saw it.
He didn't know why he got into such a thing: you want to fight, what are you doing with me.
The panicked Yuan Shanjian took Empress Gao to the Bohai Palace to explain to Gao Cheng that Fan Zihu's rebellion had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Of course, Gao Cheng knew that it had nothing to do with him, and it was just that he forced Fan Zihu to rebel through personnel transfers at the beginning.
I was going to take this opportunity to teach Yuan Shanjian a good lesson, but because of my sister's presence, I thought about it and thought about it, so I better be a person.
So without thinking, he comforted:
"Your Majesty should not worry about this, the minister is convinced that Your Majesty is loyal to the Gao family."
Yuan Shanjian immediately said gratefully:
"I am on the throne because of the prince and the king, and I should serve sincerely."
As soon as these two sentences of dialogue came out, Gao Cheng and Yuan Shanjian both felt that something was wrong, it was not that the son of the world was in front of King Gao, isn't this a matter of course.
Rather, one said that the emperor was loyal to his courtiers, and the other, as an emperor, said that he would serve sincerely.
The attendants, except for Queen Gao and Gao Jishi, all consciously covered their ears.
