Chapter 220: Brotherly Estrangement
The car arrived outside Jinyang City, and Gao Cheng had a cordial conversation with people one by one.
His approachable attitude impressed a group of Erzhu's old subordinates who had little contact with him, such as Hu Lu Qiangju and Zhang Su.
Gao Cheng has been in Luoyang for a long time, in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely intersected with Jinyang's civil and military affairs, so Gao Huan specially summoned Shanxi dignitaries to greet him.
These people are mainly composed of two groups, namely Xindu Yuancong and Erzhu descendants.
When Gao Cheng made friends with Erzhu's old department, he did not forget Xindu Yuan's old friends.
Gao Qian, Sima Ziru, and Feng Longzhi are people who have worked together in Luoyang, needless to mention.
Hu Lujin, the general of Eile, and Gao Cheng are also old acquaintances, when he and Gao Huan cut their hearts before the blood alliance swore to share Erzhu, Gao Cheng was by his side.
Because of the brotherhood with Hu Luguang, Gao Cheng paid homage to his uncle, and Hu Lujin didn't dare to say this, but at Gao Cheng's insistence, he still reluctantly accepted this gift.
For Xue Guyan, Gao Cheng held his hand even more excitedly, and sighed to everyone that because Xue Guyan sacrificed himself to save the Lord and stopped He Batsheng, Dou Tai was able to carry Gao Huan to Huayin.
Xue Guyan's face was full of red light, and it was difficult to get excited in his heart.
As for those who once had old grudges with him, such as Han Liang and Wei Jing, Gao Cheng did not make it difficult.
Of course, the so-called old grudge is just Gao Cheng's unilateral view, at least Han Liang doesn't think so.
After all, Gao Cheng didn't tear his face in Yingzhou and arrest him in prison.
Although his staff members were punished for corruption, they were still courteous to Han Rail himself, which made Han Rail, who thought he was going to make a big mistake, very happy.
After all, the precedent of Wei Jing being imprisoned in Luoyang is in front.
No matter how close he is to the Gao family, he can compare to Wei Jing.
After being sent back to Jinyang as a gift, he was relieved by Gao Huan, Han Liang had no resentment in his heart, and he was released to serve as the assassin of Taizhou (Yongji, Shanxi), but he was just replaced by a group of staff.
Gao Cheng also specially called Han Rail's nephew Gao Jian to meet, which made Han Rail even more grateful, and people recognized him as a relative.
As a party who was imprisoned in Luoyang, Wei Jing was the most tormented before Gao Cheng arrived.
Wei Jing knew very well that if Gao Cheng had to embarrass him in public, he would not be able to escape this catastrophe.
If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for offending Gao Cheng back then, and he woke up too late.
But to Wei Jing's surprise, among the civil and military forces in Jinyang, Gao Cheng was the first to greet him and praised his actions in Nanfenzhou.
One yard to one yard, when Wei Jing was rectified, it was Wei Jing who tyrannically harmed the people, and he also had old grievances.
took a bad breath, and after Gao Huan said peace, and Wei Jing broke his house to compensate the people of Jizhou afterwards, in Gao Cheng's opinion, the article has been turned over.
Perhaps for the sake of his descendants, Wei Jing was diligent in the governance of Nanfen Prefecture, honest and honest, and actively implemented various decrees of the imperial court.
If you do a bad job, you will be punished, and if you do a good job, appreciation is also reasonable, as long as there is no threat to him, Gao Cheng has always been right about things and not people.
Of course, behind Wei Jing's broken family to make up for it, it was Gao Huan who looked for money from the beginning, so that Wei Jing had a clean material foundation.
Today, Gao Cheng has no guilt, and even praised his actions, which also made Wei Jing completely relieved, and at the same time understood that the diligent government and love the people to show favor to Gao Cheng, this road is successful, and we must continue to adhere to it in the future.
Gao Huan convened a civil and military force outside the city for Gao Cheng, not to give him prestige, to contact his old friends, and to get to know each other with newcomers, this is what Gao Cheng should do.
Gao Cheng was outside the city gate to reminisce with Xindu Yuancong, and made friends with Erzhu's old department, which delayed too much time, and saw that the time was not early, so he said loudly to a group of Jinyang civil and military officials:
"There is a lot of work to welcome you, Cheng tonight in the Bohai Palace, in order to reward this feeling.
"Cheng is anxious to go back to the palace to ask his father for peace, I don't dare to stay for a long time, don't pass for the time being, everyone, please come to the palace tonight, and share the friendship with Cheng's father and son."
Everyone sent Gao Cheng back to the carriage, and seeing the carriage drifting away, Zhang Su, a Zhonglang engaged in the Chinese and foreign government, and his friends sighed:
"The prince of the world is beautiful, intelligent, peaceful, and intersects with him, like a spring breeze, the king has a son, why can't the Gao family worry about the world."
Before the friend could answer, another person took over:
"The son of the world has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and the heart of helping the world and the people, and the Gao family should be the lord of the world."
Zhang Su followed the prestige, and it was Wang Jun who got out of the carriage at some point.
The two of them are both Gao Huan's staff, and they are also fellow villagers of Daijun, and they have a very good relationship, Zhang Su said with a smile:
"Brother Luan Song is one step late, and the prince has already returned home."
Wang Jun said with a little pride:
"Jun went to the post house yesterday to see, and today he came with the prince, Brother Hui, go, go and have a few drinks first, I went to Luoyang in the future, and served as the shogunate of the prince, and then it will be difficult to drink together."
When Zhang Su heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He was worried about Wang Jun's dismissal at the beginning, but he didn't expect that people would lose the east corner, harvest Sangyu, and take the car of the son of the world first.
Gao Cheng returned to the Bohai Palace, and his aunts followed Lou Zhaojun to wait outside the mansion early, and Gao Cheng led a group of brothers to salute respectfully.
Lou Zhaojun helped Gao Cheng up, said a few words of concern, and only cared for Gao Yang and Gao Yu, so he couldn't wait to hold Gao Yan, who was about to turn four years old, with one hand and Gao Zhan, who was less than one year old, with a face full of pity.
The third brother Gao Jun, the fourth brother Gao Yan, the fifth brother Gao Xun, and the seventh brother Gao Jian were respectively hugged tightly in the arms of Wang Niang, Mu Niang, Yuan Niang, and Han Zhihui.
Seeing their mother-son affection, hugging each other and crying, Gao Cheng hugged Gao Yang with one hand and said softly:
"When you go back to Jinyang, don't pretend to be stupid again."
Gao Yang's expression changed, but it was only a temporary gaffe, and in an instant it returned to normal, he raised his head and wondered:
"What is the big brother talking about?"
Gao Cheng said to himself:
"Back then, outside my uncle's mourning hall, my father had a conversation with me, he told me to love my brothers, don't learn from him, I killed my uncle by mistake, and I hated him for life, how do you think I answered?"
Gao Cheng's right hand on Gao Yang's shoulder could clearly feel his slight trembling.
"Foreign ignorance, I don't know the mind of the eldest brother."
"If you don't have a guess, how can you be stupid in front of your brothers all day long."
"Big brother wants to kill me?"
"Jin Yangle, you have been smart since you were a child, but you are stupid in this matter, I really want to kill you, I have already done it, the third brother Ah Jun is only six years old, and Ah Yan is less than four years old, with my current power, can my father still depose me?"
Gao Yang's body stopped shaking, he looked directly at Gao Cheng, and asked:
"Why is the eldest brother telling me this today?"
The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth raised slightly, and he laughed in a low voice:
"Maybe I was snubbed by my mother, I know a little bit of your past feelings, and I don't want to see you pretend to be stupid and ugly in front of people anymore."
"I ask myself to be careful, even in front of my wife, I look stupid, why can the eldest brother decide?"
Gao Yang was puzzled by this.
"Maybe you have a glow in your eyes called wisdom."
Gao Cheng made a joke and continued:
"Mother doesn't care much for you, but your father's snub to you is out of love."
Gao Yang didn't refute, with his intelligence, since Gao Cheng said that Gao Huan had talked with him outside Gao Chen's mansion, Gao Yang already knew why Gao Huan was alienating him.
Alienation is a kind of protection.
"It's hard to be your brother."
Gao Yang said with a smile.
Gao Cheng shook his head and said:
"It's hard to be your brother, I have to guard against you little wolf cub all day long, lest I be bitten by you one day."
"With the character of the eldest brother, I'm just afraid that I will keep my hands behind?"
"Nothing else, just if I have an accident, someone will send you to accompany me."
"The eldest brother also knows that your younger brothers are young, if I accompany the eldest brother, will the family business not fall into the hands of outsiders."
"That's why I'm always accompanied by guards when I go in and out."
"Then I want to wish my eldest brother a hundred years old."
"I also hope that Jinyang Le will live to be ninety-five."
The brothers looked at each other and smiled, and Gao Yang asked again:
"Why does my brother hate me so much?"
Gao Cheng withdrew the hand on Gao Yang's shoulder, tidied up his robe, and said lightly:
"What I dislike is not you as a person, but the identity of your second son, don't pretend to be stupid anymore, even if you are really a fool, I still have to be careful, live a good life with the Liu family, I promised my father that I want you to be safe and prosperous for a lifetime, don't think nonsense."
"Can't you really have a little brotherhood?"
Gao Yang asked suddenly.
"Look, you're thinking nonsense again."
Gao Cheng rubbed Gao Yang's head affectionately and replied.
The two brothers talked very lowly, and Lou Zhaojun and the others only felt that there was little closeness between their brothers.
"Ah Hui, it's time to go into the mansion to greet your father, he's still waiting."
Lou Zhaojun called.
Gao Cheng responded, holding thirteen-year-old Gao Yang with one hand and two-year-old Gao Yang with the other, following behind Lou Zhaojun.
Gao Huan sat alone in the lobby for only a year, and his white hair spread from his temples to the top of his head.
A head illness that had plagued him all winter had made him miserable, and his energy was much less than before.
But the two grandchildren in his arms made him so happy.
Gao Xiaozhang stretched out his hand to pull out his beard, but Gao Xiaoyu had already pulled off a few.
Gao Huan pretended to be in pain and screamed, which made Gao Xiaoyu's eyes wide, hehe.
There was a commotion outside the hall, Gao Huan straightened up, his face was solemn, and he didn't see the old child before.
Everyone poured in, and Gao Huan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Gao Cheng and Gao Yang holding hands.
What is the relationship between these two brothers, can he, who is a father, not to mention the heart-to-heart conversation with Gao Cheng that day.
Gao Huan also has eyeliner in the Bohai Mansion in Luoyang, whether it is Gao Cheng's wariness of Gao Yang, or Gao Yang's pretending to be stupid, he is clear.
But he didn't interfere arbitrarily, as long as Gao Cheng could tolerate Gao Yang's brother, he would never interfere in it.
But today they came to see him, but they made an intimate appearance, and Gao Huan couldn't suppress a wave of joy in his heart.
His joy is not all because the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Yang can pretend to be harmonious for him.
It's that although there is a gap between them, they can also work together to play a play for their father.
As people get older, they value their families more.
If it is a day off, Gao Huan does not doubt whether Gao Cheng can fulfill his father's last wish, but only worries about whether he can accommodate a group of brothers.
