Chapter 268: Loyal Ministers and Righteous Soldiers
Gao Longzhi coerced the Son of Heaven and the Empress to pay tax-free money, which was not enough, and he entered the palace the next day and forced Yuan Shanjian to pay for the palace and the eunuchs.
The Son of Heaven has been under house arrest in the deep palace since he was a child, has no property to operate, and is shy in his pocket.
originally planned to sell some of the artifacts in the palace to make up for the millions of money, but Gao Longzhi refused, and he finally took an IOU signed by Yuan Shanjian out of the palace.
After Gao Longzhi left the palace, he was satisfied with this, and said to his closeness:
'The utensils in the palace will belong to the assets of the general in the future, how can he let the Son of Heaven pay off the debt, and now he has an IOU, and he will repay it with his food in the future Zen Kingdom. ’
Listen, is this called human talk?
It is said that Yuan Shanjian was filled with grief and indignation, and recited a poem on the spot:
The country is wrong.
It is a poem by Xie Lingyun:
'Han died and Fang Fen, and Emperor Qin was ashamed; Originally from Jianghai, loyal and righteous gentlemen. ’
Xun Ji, a free-rider, read a belly of sage books, talked about the righteousness of kings and ministers all his life, and never thought that such a vicious thing would happen in the world.
This great Confucian could no longer bear the bullying of the Son of Heaven, so on an ordinary morning, when Gao Longzhi left the mansion and was about to go to Shangshu Province to be on duty, Xun Ji stopped and scolded without hesitation:
"People have three outlines, the king is the minister, I heard that the surname of the servant is Xu, my grandfather Xu Cheng was a regular servant, and my father Gao Gan is also the county guard, Gao Junshi is favored by the Yuan family, and he does not want to reciprocate, but he bullies the Son of Heaven, and speaks rebellious words, how different from beasts!"
was scolded as a beast, Gao Longzhi didn't care, but in his life, what he hated most was that others mentioned his surname Xu.
He is a descendant of the Bohai Gao clan who was personally entered into the family tree by Gao Huan, the king of Bohai, and a member of the Gao clan who is a serious child, was violently promoted by Xun Ji in full view of everyone at this moment, and broke the defense on the spot:
"I really don't dare to kill you, this pedantic old man can't do it!"
Gao Long drew his sword in anger and pointed at Xun Ji.
Xun Ji was not afraid, he shouted loudly:
"I heard that Gao Jun asked for a kiss to Cui Gong Xiaofen of Boling, Cui Gong did not allow it, Gao Jun then held a grudge and slandered with the general, Cui Gong and his five sons were killed, Gao Jun is good at killing, how can Ji not know!"
The road was congested, not only the onlookers and passers-by, but also the Beijing officials and courtiers who got off the carriage, seeing the crowd talking about it, Gao Longzhi hurriedly transferred the contradiction:
"Cui Xiaofen is rebelling, it is not a pity for his death, Xun Ji, you are a southerner, what are you thinking about sowing discord here!"
Xun Ji is from Yingchuan Xun is not false, but the ancestor Nandu, living in Jiangdong, he and Xiao Yan cloth friends, just because of the competition of will, and each other, and then Xiao Yan took power, Xun Ji annoyed Xiao Yan because of some things, worried about revenge, fled to the north in a panic.
"I am a southerner, and I was confined at the end of the road, although my position is humble, I also know that I am grateful and righteous, so today I am still loyal to this person."
Gao Longzhi didn't dare to kill people on the spot, not because he was afraid of Xun Ji's heroic righteousness, but after this old Confucian arrived in the north, he lectured and taught apprentices everywhere, and most of the Confucian students in the land of Yan Zhao were his students, and he gained the reputation of Nuoda.
What really made Gao Longzhi jealous was that Gao Huan once said to someone:
'I love Ji and want to do it all, so I don't need it. ’
Gao Huan just knew that Xun Ji was loyal to the monarch and ministers, and he didn't use Xun Ji to save his life.
Let Gao Longzhi bully Yuan Shanjian, he didn't hesitate at all, but he wanted him to kill a person who Gao Huan wanted to protect, and he didn't dare to borrow Gao Longzhi's ten guts.
ordered the servants to drive Xun Ji away, Gao Longzhi didn't have the heart to go to Shangshu Province, and directly diverted to Zhongshu Province to find Gao Cheng to cry.
Gao Cheng was willing to let his old baby be wronged, he didn't understand, why these diehard Yuan clan loyalists didn't want to think about the country.
Isn't it just to let Yuan Shanjian pay the palace people's exemption money, isn't this still to let the powerful pay the slaves and maids for immunity, and force them to further release the slaves.
He had tens of thousands of servants in the Bohai Royal Mansion in Luoyang, didn't Gao Cheng also set an example and paid the money on his behalf.
"General, Cui Shangshu said that the household treasury is full, and the general's exemption money is temporarily stored in the Bohai Palace."
Just when Gao Cheng comforted Gao Longzhi, Wei Xingqing, who was transporting the immunity money of the Bohai Royal Mansion to the household department, replied.
You see, King Xiao Gao not only paid the exemption money, but also helped Cui Jishu keep it on his behalf, how could he ever complain about his hardships with others.
asked Wei Xingqing to move the money back to the Bohai Palace, and Gao Cheng continued to comfort Gao Long:
"My uncle and I are blood relatives, so why bother with other people's words."
Xue Hu'er and Su Xi Shele, who were accompanying them, couldn't figure it out, one surnamed Gao and the other surnamed Xu, where did they come from, but they didn't dare to ask.
Gao Long's old tears were rampant, and he implored Gao Cheng to deal with Xun Ji.
But Gao Cheng couldn't find any behavior that could convict Xun Ji of capital crimes, and no matter how arrogant King Xiao Gao was, he didn't write loyalty to the Yuan family as a capital crime in the "Taichang Law".
When Gao Cheng was at a loss, Gao Longzhi wiped his tears and suggested:
"Why don't you banish him to Jiangnan."
Gao Cheng said secretly: Good guy, I haven't been reading "Three Kingdoms" at home recently.
At least familiarize yourself with Cao Cao's account of giving You Heng to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao forwarding it to Huang Zu, and finally You Heng was killed by Huang Zu, otherwise he wouldn't have played so slippery by borrowing a knife to kill people.
Xiao Gao Wang did not rush to agree, but just asked the doubts in his heart, and Gao Longzhi replied:
"The general wants to replace Wei, and the officials just read history to find examples."
Gao Longzhi's intimacy made Xiao Gaowang's heart warm, and he immediately ordered someone to drive Xun Ji back to Jiangnan.
This move caused an uproar, and countless readers petitioned, but it could not change Gao Cheng's mind.
When Xun Ji was escorted away from Luo by Gao Cheng's personal guards, the city was full of scholars, and everyone didn't dare to accuse Gao Cheng, so they scolded Gao Longzhi for being a traitor.
Gao Longzhi consciously forced Xun Ji away, he was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to care about it anymore, as long as he didn't say that his surname was Xu, he would be scolded by the world.
Xun Ji said goodbye to the Confucian scholars and students who saw him off, and boarded the carriage to go south, but saw a letter with ugly handwriting on the carriage.
'Cheng father and son are in a high position, advance is life, retreat is death, the situation is difficult, Xun Gong does not know.
'The father loved the prince and wanted to keep him from a high position.'
'Cheng also loves the public, chases the public in the hometown of Jiangnan, and protects the life of the public.
'If you are in the north, you will die.
'Xiao Yan is old, he cares about the old feelings, and he will not use the old grudges to scold the public, or there may be a glimmer of life. ’
Xun Ji looked at it and sighed.
Gao Cheng drove everyone away and sat alone in Zhongshu Province.
"Han died Fang Fen, and Emperor Qin was ashamed; Originally from Jianghai, loyal and righteous gentlemen. ”
Different from Yuan Shanjian's resentment, Gao Cheng's tone was full of regret.
Everyone loves loyal ministers and righteous people, and Gao Cheng is no exception.
But he didn't want to change Xun Ji, and he knew that he couldn't change it, and he was even more unwilling to change.
