Cui Xian did not secretly publicize Cui Ning's two black materials, Gao Cheng himself is a veteran of rumors, how can he not know who is making waves behind it.

He chose to go straight to Gao Cheng with the evidence of Cui Ling's bribery, and did not hide his selfish desire to retaliate.

Gao Cheng sat in the wing room of Zhongshu Province and looked through Cui Ning's criminal records one by one, his expression was always solemn.

As mentioned earlier, for the Gao family and his son, corruption is not a crime, they have no moral purity, and what the father and son cannot tolerate is that the corpse vegetarian generation is up and down and wantonly accumulates wealth.

And Cui Ning can't be classified into this category anyway, not to mention that he also has a fifteen-year-old son Cui Gan who assists Gao Ao Cao in governing a state.

Just when he was thinking about how to persuade Cui Xian to give Cui Ning a lenient punishment, Cui Xian threw out two black materials at the right time.

The first Qinghe Cui clan is only a thief who abolishes the Son of Heaven, although Cui Xian is alarmist, but Gao Cheng actually does not go to his heart, and he does not engage in literary prison, this far-fetched is not enough to be a reason for punishment.

Even if Qinghe Taishou Shikai, who went to Beijing to report on his work, was entrusted by Cui Xian to testify to the authenticity of this statement in front of Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng only shook his head after caressing Cui Xian and Shi Kai:

"It's just an unintentional word, don't care about taking it seriously, for the sake of the superior, how can you wantonly distort it and sin people with words and words."

He can understand Cui Xian's resentment towards Cui Ning, before he started the imperial examination, in the context of the era of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the clan is the only condition for the children of the scholar clan to enter the office, the higher the family, the higher the starting point for entering the office.

Cui Yong often belittles the Boling Cui clan with others in this situation, and Cui Xian is now in power, and it is human nature to take action.

In this regard, Cui Xian hurriedly confessed:

"The general is wise, but the subordinate is too careful."

Just when Gao Cheng was about to appease Cui Xian for a few words, Cui Xian continued:

"The general treats people with benevolence, but the subordinate officials are afraid that the general will be despised even more."

Gao Cheng, who was still smiling kindly just now, turned black in an instant, and he asked in a deep voice:

"What does Ji Lun mean by this?"

For the sake of the national interest, King Xiao Gao can release false news to Nanliang and ruin his reputation, which can give him a sense of accomplishment that his strategy has succeeded.

But in Kanto, if someone really looks down on him, it is something that Gao Cheng can't tolerate.

Xia Guan's wife and brother Li Shen told him, only to learn that after the general assisted the government, Cui Ning once said to people in Hebei:

'Can a yellow-jawed child also take on a heavy responsibility? ’”

Now it is a sensitive time for the transfer of power to the Gao family, and it is undoubtedly Gao Cheng's rebellion to be questioned for being young and incapable of taking over.

Combined with the previous sentence of abolishing the Son of Heaven, Gao Cheng was even more disgusted with Cui Ning.

But he still summoned Cui Xian's brother-in-law Li Shen to inquire in person.

Li Shen insisted that this statement was true, and ignored Cui Xian's previous warning, and moved out another witness, Xing Shao, who was present at the time.

Cui Xian was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to block Li Shen's mouth immediately, but it was useless.

Gao Cheng had already ordered someone to summon Xing Shao to ask what was going on.

Xing Shao was hurriedly summoned from the General's Mansion to Zhongshu Province, and he didn't know what had happened.

Gao Cheng didn't wait for him to salute, and asked directly:

"I heard that Cui Ning once had a contempt for me, but is it true?"

Xing Shao's expression was slightly flustered, and he hurriedly argued:

"I don't know what to say, the general's exploits are in the four seas, and who dares to despise it, someone should frame Cui Shilang."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Cui Xian and Li Shen, as if he was pointing out that they were framing Zhongliang.

Cui Xian had expected it, but he just looked at his nose and his nose and his heart.

But Li Shen couldn't bear it, he wanted to argue with Xing Shao.

I don't understand that Xing Shao committed adultery with Feng, once Cui Ning is convicted and imprisoned, won't Xing Shao be able to do it.

The angry Li Shen argued with Xing Shao, but was stopped by Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng just asked Xing Shao to go back to the General's Mansion to deal with affairs first, and then sent Cui Xian and Li Shen to retreat.

As soon as the three of them left, Gao Cheng immediately sent two Kuzhi, Su Xi Shele and Xue Hu'er, to follow behind Xing Shao.

And Li Shen, who left the house, hurriedly apologized to his brother-in-law, thinking that it was because he did not listen to Cui Xian's words that Cui Ning escaped.

Cui Xian sighed and said:

"The reason why I don't allow you to mention Xing Zicai is not because I'm worried that Cui Yong will get away with it, but because I don't want Zicai to be alienated by the general."

And then saw Su Xi Shele and Xue Hu'er who were Xing Shao, which also confirmed Cui Xian's judgment.

Gao Cheng has been acting for so many years, and he rushed to the moment of panic on Xing Shao's face before, as well as Li Shen's reaction, who is true and who is fake, he knows at a glance.

The reason why Xing Shao said this, Cui Xian expected, and Gao Cheng also knew that it was nothing more than that he was obviously present that day, and he heard Cui Ning insult Gao Cheng with his own ears, but he didn't report it, and he was suspected of being disloyal.

Even if he didn't move out of Xing Shao today, Gao Cheng himself sent someone to investigate, and when he learned that he was also there, he wouldn't blame him too much.

In the end, it was just a suspicion, Xing Shao could be deduced that it was just a joke, or that he had forgotten it for too long, after all, he had not yet entered the Gaocheng Shogunate at that time.

But now Xing Shao's lies and deception have also changed the nature of this incident.

Before Gao Cheng ordered to listen to Wangsi's deep digging, Su Xi Shele and Xue Hu'er reported that Xing Shao had a family member who left with him and sneaked into Cui Ling's mansion.

When Gao Cheng learned about it, he was not furious, but added Xing Shao's name to the next batch of release lists.

Originally, the three core staff members of Changshi, Zhu Bo, and Sima had just been formed for less than half a year, and Gao Cheng didn't plan to reorganize now, but now Xing Shao's behavior made him feel that he couldn't keep this person by his side.

If Cui Xian has selfish intentions and takes the opportunity to retaliate, Gao Cheng is not angry, who hasn't had a little selfishness these days, as long as he doesn't fabricate perjury and wronged others, everything is easy to say.

But if there is deliberate deception, Gao Cheng will not tolerate it, thinking that after years of hard work, and the situation is not serious, Xing Shao will not be deprived of his post and imprisoned, but he is destined to be alienated.

likes a person, he makes a mistake, as long as the consequences are not serious, Gao Cheng can laugh it off, if he dislikes one, small mistakes and omissions can also become the cause of anger.

Xing Shao and Feng's adultery turned from a joke in Gao Cheng's eyes to a scandal of fornicating with his friend's wife and concubine.

A friend's wife, not to be bullied, to have a relationship with others, but to have an affair with his family behind his back, which made Gao Cheng feel more and more hateful about Xing Shao.

And Xing Shao's external transfer, not like the core staff in the past, served as the assassin of a state, but went to Yanzhou to serve as the director.

From Bo, the head of the General's Mansion, to Bo, the head of Yanzhou, Gao Cheng's attitude is obvious.

When Cui Jishu and Liu Honghui, the son-in-law of the Gao family, handed over the work in Yanzhou before returning to Luoyang, they happened to run into a big case.

Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Song Youdao were impeached for embezzlement and bribery by the Che Cavalry General, Doctor Zuo Guanglu, and Huangmen Shilang Cui Ling.

There is a chapter at 8 o'clock, and there is a chapter at 10 o'clock, and when I have slept enough, I will write it again, and my mind is much clearer. These three chapters will not be placed in today's update, I will finish today's 8000-word update before 12 o'clock in the evening, if you don't do it, you will remember a red envelope.
