Chapter 336: Gao Gong Doesn't Come Out, Nai Cangsheng He (3000)
The decrees were formulated under the leadership of Gao Cheng, who was idle at home, and were transmitted to various places through the three provinces and six ministries controlled by the Gao Party.
And the news of Gao Huan's death has long been known by officials from all sides.
Hou Jing, the assassin of Jingzhou, decided to send him as an envoy to Luoyang to mourn Gao Huan, and by the way observed Gao Cheng's attitude, if he wanted to do it to himself, he would immediately erect a counter-flag and dedicate the city to the south of Liang, if Gao Cheng could tolerate him, Hou Jing was also willing to continue to work for the Gao family.
The Gao family is obviously on the rise, and the strength of Nanliang, which is not as good as others, is declining, and the blind know which side has a better prospect, and Hou Jing himself is also a member of the Huaishuo Group, and he has many old friends in the court, such as Sima Ziru, Sun Teng and others, who are all friends of the end of the year.
In the original time and space, it was also in the process of the original owner's fight against corruption that he was rectified, and only then did he say angry words to Sima Ziru, "King Gao is here, I dare not be different; Wang No, I can't work with Xianbei Xiaoer! Sima Ziru, who was so frightened that he was sympathetic, hurriedly covered his mouth.
But the words he said were like water spilled out, covered with water and difficult to collect, and in the face of the original owner's temptation, he chose to rebel when he was desperate.
Now between Hou Jing and Xiao Gao Wang, it was only when Gao Cheng was just starting out, Hou Jing had a contempt and did not listen to orders.
It's just that Gao Cheng is more vindictive, and Hou Jing's actions in another time and space don't dare to make him believe it completely, so he has a lot of precautions, but in fact, this contradiction can be reconciled.
Of course, the Gao family's father and son are also famous for acting, which makes Hou Jing dare not fully believe that Gao Cheng really has a grudge against him, so Wang Wei's trip to Luoyang is there, but he doesn't know that Wang Wei has long been secretly surnamed Gao.
Wu Zetian famously said when he saw King Luo Bin's inscription: 'If there is this, there is no need, and the prime minister is also at fault.' ’
But in fact, before she said this, when the original owner was in correspondence with Hou Jing, after learning that it was Wang Wei ghostwriting, he sighed: 'Wei is like this, why don't you let me know? ’
The regret of the original owner was naturally made up by King Xiao Gao, how could he turn a blind eye to Wang Wei.
Unlike Hou Jing's envoy to the temptation, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Yaoxiong and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Gao Yue sincerely sent people to mourn, especially Gao Yue, the death of his cousin Gao Huan made him wash his face with tears all day long, Gao Cheng heard about it, and also believed that Gao Yue's sadness was not a joke, after all, he knew the friendship between the two cousins. (Chapter 183)
The rest of them, such as Di Gan and others, also sent envoys to Luo to express their condolences to Gao Huan and Gao Cheng.
Among the crowd, in fact, not only Hou Jing was worried, such as Wei Jing, the assassin of Nanfenzhou, was even more like sitting on pins and needles.
Hou Jing only despised Gao Cheng back then, but Wei Jing was more ruthless than him, and without Gao Huan's mediation, he and Xiao Gao Wang would have almost formed a mortal enmity.
But Wei Jing was obviously overly worried, and Gao Cheng had no intention of pursuing old grievances.
On the one hand, it is natural that Wei Jing has changed his past mistakes and is no longer evil.
Secondly, it is also Gao Huan's last words, this time it is the real last words, so that he should not embarrass Wei Jing.
But what is more important is to show your tolerance: Wei Jing beat me so badly back then, I can forgive me, and you don't need to worry about your situation if you have had a holiday with me.
is mainly for Hou Jing to see, after all, he is the only one who has an old grudge with Wei Jing and Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng had the idea of forcing Hou Jing to rebel in the early years, after all, let him serve Xiao Yan and cause trouble to Nanliang, and the pressure of the southern expedition would be reduced in the future.
But now he has changed his mind, first of all, Shu was acquired by Yuwentai, the trend of history has changed greatly, and it is unknown whether Hou Jing can fight to the death with 8,000 new troops.
Secondly, although this Western Expedition annexed Guanlong, whether it was spent during the war, as well as post-war pensions, rewards, and relocation of households, the treasury had already been emptied, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, or more importantly, the Yuan Wei Dynasty, could not withstand the civil strife, even if the Hou Jing rebellion was quelled, it would not be able to reward the three armies.
As we all know, soldiers cannot be rewarded for their meritorious service, and this is a big problem.
Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can still choose to raise taxes, and realize the fullness of the treasury by looting the people and amassing wealth on a large scale, but Gao Cheng is unwilling to open this head.
Since it has been decided to recuperate in the short term, focusing on resuming production in the Guanlong area, it is natural that it cannot, at least at this stage, force Hou Jing to reverse.
At the same time, the news of Gao Huan's death also spread to Nanliang, and the passage permit was obtained, and the envoy of Nanliang, who was crossing the river to the north, in addition to exploring Xiao Ji's life and death, also had an additional mission of condolences.
And knowing that Gao Huan was dead, even if he had already accepted the surrender table, there were still many generals in the Southern Liang Dynasty who asked for Shu to be killed, and they believed that the Gao clan was in a sensitive period of power transfer, and it was impossible for Gao Cheng to send troops to intervene.
But he was still rejected by Xiao Yan, the transfer of power of the Gao family is more special, when Gao Huan was alive, Gao Cheng had already shared the military and political affairs with him, even if Gao Huan died, it could only be that Gao Cheng monopolized the power and would not set off a little storm.
The monarch's personal inclination is tantamount to determining the trend of the country, and the Southern Liang under the influence of Xiao Yan is also generally in a defensive posture, compared to taking the risk of Yuan Wei going south, fighting hard with Yuwentai in Shu, and regardless of success or failure, and then rejecting the Gao clan alone, Xiao Yan is more willing to join forces with Yuwentai to fight the enemy.
After all, Shudi is still too far away from Jiankang.
It is precisely because it is so far away that I can't feel the unforgettable pain.
Gao Cheng's good brother Bald Tujia has sent two groups of people back to Mobei, the first group is naturally to inform the Gao family of the annexation of Guanlong, and the second group is about Gao Huan's death.
The so-called family sending team is actually a meticulous role in many cases, but it is just a fair and honest meticulous work.
When Gao Huan mourned, Bald Tujia also brought Princess Worm to worship, after Gao Cheng was free, Princess Worm often came to the door, but Gao Cheng and this little girl who was only eleven years old did not have much common language.
After going back and forth a few times, she explained that she lived in Yanran Pavilion with peace of mind, and the purpose of this was also to avoid overstimulating Yuan Zhonghua.
Yuan Zhonghua was determined at the time of last autumn's harvest, and now his belly has long been bulging, and he is raising the fetus in the inner courtyard with peace of mind, although it is impossible to bump into the worm princess, but he also gave birth to a pair of ears, and he can always hear some wind.
Gao Cheng, who was idle at home, was not completely handling official business, he also paid close attention to the studies of a group of brothers, and the brothers Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, who were about to turn five years old, were also driven by Gao Cheng to Dongtang to study with a group of little uncles.
Gao Yang is currently very honest, except for coming to Gao Huan Lingtang every day to guard filial piety, he almost never goes out the rest of the time, but Gao Cheng still has not relaxed his surveillance of the Taiyuan Mansion and attaches great importance to his own guards.
When he sent Shu soldiers to reclaim the border in northern Xinjiang, Feng Zihua asked whether to leave the general and his children behind, and asked Nanliang for ransom, Gao Cheng naturally would not refuse, he was now poor, and he was about to open the pot.
Moreover, keeping these people behind can also weaken the organization of the pawns.
He Liuhun, the loser, the dignified prince of Nanliang, actually agreed to only ask for 3,000 pieces of silk cloth, you must know that he Gao Cheng extorted 10,000 horses of silk cloth from Yuwentai's three sisters-in-law, a sister, and two nephews.
It can only be said that Gao Huan doesn't talk about political credibility, but he wants fame, Xiao Ji is opening the city and asking for surrender, not being captured, so he doesn't ask for too high a price.
And although Gao Cheng talks about political credibility, he is shameless, he can open his mouth.
can only say that the father and son are indeed strange enough, those who love reputation do not talk about political credibility, but those who are shameless cling to it and do not let go.
Now that Gao Huan has made a promise, it is impossible for Gao Cheng to go back on his word and raise the price again, so he can only secretly suffer this loss, after all, in his eyes, if he doesn't earn enough, it is a loss.
In the list of Liang Jun's generals and children sorted out by Feng Zihua, Gao Cheng found Lan Jing's name at a glance.
But in the end, he didn't kill him, and he didn't need this person to be a cook, could Lan Jing still get close?
As for Lan Qin, who witnessed Yuwentai's attack on Hanzhong and vomited blood in anger, he finally managed to escape back to Nanliang, but it was difficult and unknown to outsiders.
With the further development of the relocation of people, the so-called Sanhe region of Hebei, Henan, and Hedong has transferred a total of 100,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties and their families to Guanlong, and after the 100,000 Guanxi prisoners are pardoned, their families will also be scattered with them in various parts of Guandong.
The mood of the prisoners in Kansai is generally stable, after all, in the Kanto region, the military salary is higher than that of Yuwentai.
At the beginning, Gao Cheng inadvertently engaged in malicious competition, forcing Yuwentai to draw a big cake for several years, Gao Huan's first western expedition was defeated, and at the strong request of the soldiers, he began to pay military salaries, but at that time, Guanzhong was poor, and the treatment was much worse than that of the Kanto soldiers.
After all, some time ago, they were still captives of mermaids, worried about being forced into hard labor, how could they have such high requirements, and they also thought that they would be rent-free and tax-free, and it would be good to be able to allocate land and housing.
And the 100,000 county soldiers of Sanhe who were moved to Guanlong were full of complaints, and Yuan Shanjian really made people scold behind their backs.
As the migration has deepened, seeing that the pot has been shaken off, it is time for King Qi to go out of the mountain.
On February 16 of the tenth year of Taichang (541), Gao Cheng's past exploits were deliberately publicized in Luoyang and its surroundings. ’
And this phenomenon has also spread from Luoyang to the surrounding areas, and people from all over the world have rushed to tell each other, 'Gao Gong is not out, what is Nai Cangsheng!' ’
Every day, a large number of people ask for their lives, whether or not Gao Party officials have also gone up, hoping that the Son of Heaven will repent on the road of tossing the people, and ask Gao Cheng, who is idle at home, to re-emerge from the mountain.
Motozen finally realized his mistake under the turbulent public opinion, but the people had been relocated, the treasury was empty, and the imperial court could not afford to move them back.
So the repentant Yuan Shan saw his own sin: 'All sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing...'
Gao Cheng didn't play the set of three visits to the thatched house anymore, after all, his brother-in-law and brother-in-law Yuan Shanjian performed very well during this time, and he always had to save some face.
The Son of Heaven personally came to the door to restore all the officials of Gao Cheng, and the protector of the widow of the Great Wei, Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, also complied with the will of the people, and once again went out of the mountain to take charge of the government.
