Chapter 215: Five Surnames and Four Clans

At the same time that Gao Cheng sent a letter to Gao Huan, Gao Longzhi was ordered to go back to Luoyang first to talk about Yuan Shanjian.

Gao Huan's response was very fast, and after receiving Gao Cheng's letter, he immediately sent Dou Tai, who had just returned to Jinyang to rest for a few days, to lead 30,000 troops out of Taihang Fukou and stationed in Yinzhou.

On September 24, the sixth year of Taichang (537), Yuan Shanjian convened a court meeting to discuss the abolition of slaves and cattle granting land, and at the same time reforming the tax system, abolishing household surveys, and restoring the old system.

Gao Cheng, who was far away in Cangzhou to inspect the salt works, heard the news and dissuaded Luoyang, but was angrily reprimanded.

Yuan Shanjian replied:

'I am loved by the king, and I have practiced Zuo for six years. After watching politics for several years and gaining a little, why is it still not autonomous? The Son of Heaven, the Great General and himself! ’

Gao Cheng, who had just come to Yingzhou after his trip to Cangzhou, received the approval, and was terrified, so he immediately unloaded the seal letter and handed it over to the angel to bring back to Luoyang, while he was guilty in Yingzhou and waited for the Son of Heaven to fall.

In this scene between them, the ordinary people took it seriously, scolded the Son of Heaven for being stupid, not listening to the words of loyalty, and sympathizing with the little king who asked for the people's life.

But how can the real family clans such as the four surnames and five clans of Hebei: Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Zhaojun Li and Bohai Gao, not know what is in it.

As the biggest victims of this incident, the four surnames and five ethnic groups also had to send people to Yingzhou to express their condolences to Gao Cheng, who spoke out for them.

Yinzhou Dou Tai, Dingzhou Wei Di Gan, Jizhou Lou Zhao each supported the troops, Hebei also accompanied Gao Cheng to the north of the 10,000 army, as well as 20,000 salt soldiers.

Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, father and son, gathered so many troops in Hebei, what does it mean, the four surnames and five clans know it.

Even the military forces assembled in Tongguan were dispersed, and the main general Duan Shao was transferred back to Northern Yuzhou in advance to deter the Zheng clan in Xingyang.

The rule of the Gao clan is far more stable than that of the Erzhu clan, and it is popular with the people, and there is no internal division of Erzhu Zhao, Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhongyuan and others.

was searched by Gao Cheng from Hebei for 600,000 hidden households, and the strength of the Hebei Shi clan was not as good as before.

The lesson of the extermination of the Hongnong Yang clan is close at hand, and no one really dares to come forward like this.

For the people of the four surnames and five ethnic groups who came to condole, Gao Cheng said with emotion:

"The Son of Heaven is baptized, I should avoid it, or return to Jinyang and serve Shuangci."

The people of the four surnames and five clans scoffed at this, what is the Son of Heaven is getting older and older, I should avoid his edge, and what do I say I want to go to Jinyang to fulfill my filial piety to Gao Huan and his wife.

Yuan Shan saw that he really had that ability, but he was afraid that the backhand would be 'the Son of Heaven is dim, and he should set up another master.' ’

Then he picked a young child from the clan to succeed him, Yuan Shanjian.

But since Gao Cheng acted in this scene and didn't want to tear his face, everyone could only accompany him to perform.

Gao Cheng's staff, Fan Yang Lu's disciple Lu Xunzu said with relief:

"The Son of Heaven is just a momentary angry statement, the Great Wei Sheji, only the general will support it, and he will not give in, what can the general say?"

Lu Xunzu is the grandson of Lu Wenwei, the assassin of Dongyongzhou, and the son of Fan Yang Taishou Lu Gongdao.

His grandfather Lu Wenwei once served as Fan Yang Taishou, and it was Lu Wenwei's credit for instigating Liu Lingzhu to rebel.

When Gao Cheng went to Hebei to ask for a hidden household, he sent a letter to Lu Wenwei, hoping that Lu Xunzu would join his shogunate to appease the Lu family of Fanyang.

On the one hand, the children of the Hebei Shi clan, such as Boling Sancui, etc., gradually weakened the strength of the Hebei Shi clan, such as the inspection of hidden households.

It was Gao Cheng who boiled the frog step by step, and to this day, their core figures are getting higher and higher in the court, but the armed forces in their hands are getting weaker and weaker.

How dare and be willing to launch another Hebei uprising.

Hebei is not chaotic, and Henan is even less likely to make trouble, after all, all the generals under Gao Cheng are leading the troops in Henan.

Gao Cheng was comforted by the representatives of the Shi clan and the people of the four surnames and five clans, so he finally stopped thinking about going to Jinyang to serve his parents.

He also reciprocated the favor by promising everyone that the head tax on slaves and maids would be exempted for the first three years.

Despite Gao Cheng's promise, there are still many people who plan to write back to their families, hoping to reduce the size of slaves and maids immediately.

Such as Lu Xunzu.

On the one hand, it is indeed unprofitable, and it is necessary to raise a large number of slaves, even if it is tax-free for three years, the expenses will not be less.

After all, these people are going to eat.

On the other hand, he is also worried that the people in the clan do not know what is going on and delay his future.

Zhang Shiqi's promotion to general Bo gave Lu Xunzu a great impact.

This man came from a humble background, and in his opinion he had no talent to learn, but he only knew how to slap the horse and welcome the wishes of the gods, but he was able to leap to a high position.

It shows that Gao Cheng does not pay attention to the family or talent, but only to his personal preferences.

Lu Xunzu hadn't read Zhang Shiqi's mysterious little book, so he naturally didn't know his talents.

But it was precisely this misunderstanding that made Lu Xunzu unwilling to dislike Gao Cheng.

As soon as the people of the four surnames and five clans who came to condole had just dispersed, the messenger of Yuan Shanjian chased after Yingzhou again and returned Gao Cheng's letter.

This hot potato, how dare Yuan Shan really accept it, if he secretly takes Gao Cheng, the seal letter may be effective, and he can deceive the generals from all over Henan.

But now that Gao Cheng has invited himself to take up his post, this matter has been put on the surface, even if he takes the opportunity to take the general's seal, who is willing to listen to Luoyang's orders.

Not to mention that Wang Shiliang, who holds the forbidden army, is still from Gao Cheng's staff, and there is even more Gao Ji-style on the side.

If this wicked man can snatch the seal of the Son of Heaven, can't he regain the seal of the letter for the general?

The envoy was relieved to see the kind words in place of Yuan Shan, as if the whole thing was really Gao Cheng was greatly wronged.

Gao Cheng also accepted it when he saw it, took back the seal letter, and continued to serve as a general, a middle secretary, a secretary of Shangshuling, a servant, and a secretary of the ministry.

He said earnestly to the messenger:

"Your Majesty has made up your mind, and the ministers dare not obstruct it, but I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting."

The envoy was ordered to return to Luoyang to deliver the message, and Gao Cheng was ready to also set off for Youzhou, the old nest of the Lu family in Fanyang.

Lu Xunzu was ordered to return to Fan Yang one step ahead of Gao Cheng and meet his father Fan Yang Taishou Lu Gongdao.

Lu Wenwei, Lu Gongdao, and Lu Xun's ancestors and grandchildren are the core members of the Fanyang Lu family, but there is no doubt that they are oriented to the Gao family.

Back then, their family bet on Gao Huan and got a rich return, Lu Wenwei went out of the town of Dongyongzhou, and Fan Yang was succeeded by Lu Gongdao.

Now let them abandon this reward of risking their lives and rebel for the sake of the number of slaves and maids, how can they be willing.

But after all, the clan is the foundation, not only the Lu family and his son, but also the Boling Cui clan, the Qinghe Cui clan and other scholar clans.

The core figure who has received political rewards is in a high position and can make rational trade-offs, but for ordinary children, the Gao family first searched for hidden households, and then reformed the official system, and now they have to force everyone to release slaves, step by step, how can they not be resentful.

After all, Xindu Jianyi's cake is not their share.

They can't be rational, and Gao Cheng will help them keep their sanity.

After communicating with Yang Su, all parts of Hebei were promoting the atrocities of the Erzhu clan in slaughtering the Hengnong Yang clan.

Although the words are all condemning the Erzhu clan, it is not a threat to the ordinary children of the Shi clan.

The core character has the heart of the Gao family, but he cannot openly sell the interests of the family as a personal promotion.

was spurned by the clan, and no matter how high the official position was, it was a castle in the air.

So Gao Cheng found a reason for them to protect the interests of the clan.

There is no interest more important than the survival of the clan.

They used the violence of the Erzhu clan as an example, and in addition to counting the strength of the Gao clan, they also detailed Gao Cheng's virtue and politics over the years, as well as their own strength, and finally persuaded a group of victims of interests.

After all, it is not a ban on slaves, and the tax of 20 yuan per person per year can be borne by them, but they can't be enslaved in groups like in the past.

It's just that forbidding slaves from plowing cattle and giving land is indeed a big cut in the clan economy.

But no one wants to end up with the Hengnong Yang family, who knows what this group of Hu people can do.

Although the father and son of the Gao family boasted that they were from the Bohai Gao clan, their military strength was mainly composed of the Qihu tribes of the Xianbei and Erzhu clans of the Six Towns.

The only Han army that could be used was the Gyeonggi soldiers, and among the 34,000 people, there were 3,000 Xianbei soldiers under Duan Shao and 4,000 Wuchuan Xianbei.

The Gyeonggi Han army only had 27,000 people, and the new group of 20,000 salt soldiers thought that outsiders were just miscellaneous soldiers who were guarding the salt works.

This point of manpower is really insignificant compared to Bingzhou Hu.

Thanks to the brutality of the Erzhu clan, what happened to the Hengnong Yang clan made this group of clans recognize the lower limit of the Hu people:

Clearly swore an oath to only punish the evil, and when the Yang family relaxed its vigilance, it would immediately be the end of the clan being slaughtered.

Before Gao Cheng arrived in Youzhou, Fan Yang Lu was finally willing to accept the reality under the persuasion of Lu Gongdao and Lu Xun's grandfather and son.

It is unknown whether he felt the oppression of Gao Cheng's army going north.

Fan Yang Lu's expression of support for the imperial court's decree on abolishing slaves and maids, ploughing cattle and granting land, is also the last family of the four surnames and five clans in Hebei to express their position.

There were 30,000 Dou Tai garrisons in Yinzhou, where the Li clan of Zhao County was located, and they expressed their support for the Son of Heaven Yuan Shanjian early.

The Qinghe Cui clan was forced by the military might of Dingzhou's assassin Shi Wei Digan, and also seconded the actions of the Li clan of Zhao County.

Not to mention the Boling Cui clan that also belongs to Dingzhou, because of Gao Chengxin's heavy Boling Sancui, and the political return of Xindu Jianyi, they made a lot of money, and they were at the junction of Dingzhou and Hebei Prefectures, with Dingzhou Thorn Shi Di Gan in the north, and Jizhou Thorn Shi Lou Zhao in the south, so they were the first to express their support for Yuan Shanjian's decree.

The remaining Bohai Gao clan is the clan that the Hebei Shi clan has contributed the most to Xindu Jianyi, and Gao Huan has been able to rank among the four surnames and five clans in Hebei, but the background is not as deep as the rest of the families after all.

Moreover, the important figures Gao Qian, Gao Shen, Gao Aocao, and Gao Jishi, Gao Gan and Gao Shenyuan were in Jinyang, Gao Aocao was guarding Guangzhou, and only Gao Jishi returned to Hebei alone.

Needless to say, what kind of ingredient Gao Ji is, the armed forces of the Bohai Gao clan are all in the hands of the four brothers of the Gao family, and with the full support of Gao Ji Shi, the Bohai Gao clan is only one step later than the Boling Cui clan.

As for how many clansmen behind him spurned him, Gao Jishi didn't care.

Gao Cheng gave an order, even the second brother dared to arrest him, would he still be afraid of the rumors of the clansmen.

After gaining the support of the four surnames and five ethnic groups in Hebei, Gao Cheng immediately sent a message to Luoyang:

The abolition of slaves and slaves and the granting of land to oxen and the restoration of the Han system can be implemented.

Relying on the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were able to implement the things in the whole country, how could the Gao family, with the six towns Xianbei as the main body, have twists and turns in the Kanto.
