From the amount of reward, it can also be seen that Xiao Gaowang is now strapped for money, and before he had to change, Wei Xingqing, who worked hard to cooperate with the performance, said that he started with three hundred horses, but Wei Xingqing was not dissatisfied, after all, this hundred pieces of cloth came too easily, and it was a matter of moving his mouth.

Although he was scolded that night, he was praised and rewarded by King Qi in front of his subordinates the next day, and he got his face back.

On the morning of the same day, after rewarding Wei Xingqing, Gao Cheng set off for the east, and his main purpose in coming to Daliang City was only to deepen his relationship with the 30,000 Hu soldiers stationed here, except for asking Zhao Yanshen if he knew that Zheng Wei had killed someone, Gao Cheng did not ask about the rest of the affairs, in order to express his trust in Zhao Yanshen and Duan Shao.

The inspection team passed through Liangzhou, and went to Yanzhou Prefecture to Zhifangqiu (Yanzhou, Shandong), and was received by Liu Honghui, the assassin of Yanzhou, as usual.

Liu Honghui is the son of Liu Gui, a Hun man, and also Gao Cheng's sister-in-law, he is not a mediocre person, but he is indeed not good at handling political affairs.

Fortunately, Liu Honghui did listen to Gao Cheng's teachings before taking office, and strictly followed the "Outline of Administration" to administer, and the specific affairs were completely handed over to the officials of the bureaucrats to carry out, and he only grasped the general direction.

Gao Cheng stayed in the flawed hill for four days, during which Gao Cheng set up a family banquet and drank with Liu Honghui's family, during which the friendship between Gao Huan and Liu Gui was inevitably mentioned.

After the family banquet, it was official business, and after the spies reported one after another, Gao Cheng severely punished a group of treacherous officials according to their investigation, and praised the diligent officials, and deliberately recorded their names one by one, and sent people back to Luoyang's messenger department to explain that Cui Xian arranged promotions for these people after the expiration of the examination period, and the officials who were rewarded were all excited.

After passing through Yanzhou, further east is Jeju, and after arriving at Jeju Prefecture Zhili City (Jinan, Shandong), Jeju Assassin Shi Wen Zisheng was severely reprimanded by Gao Cheng.

It turned out that Wen Zisheng's scribe atmosphere was too heavy, so he was good at traveling with people, and often pushed political affairs to his subordinates, and he traveled with his friends to famous mountains and rivers, improvised poems, although he left a lot of good works, he could be used as a civil official to serve as a staff member of the General's Mansion, such a performance was obviously not accepted by Gao Cheng.

Liu Honghui can make an exception because he is a Hun with little knowledge, and the only ability he has is still in martial arts.

Being able to sit on the position of Yanzhou Assassin is just because of his father Liu Gui and his wife being the daughter of the Gao family.

But Wen Zisheng is different, you are a civil official from a staff member, and you dare to learn from Liu Honghui as a shopkeeper, isn't this unpleasant for yourself, Gao Cheng immediately dismissed Wen Zisheng from the post of Yanzhou assassin and let him take up the post of the right chief of the Xiangguo Mansion, that is an idle errand, and there will be time to recite poems in the future.

As for the right long history of the former Xiangguo Mansion, Zheng Shuzu, who had just married the Gao family, was placed on the throne of Jeju Assassin.

Although Zheng Shuzu came from a big family, his virtue and demeanor have always been praised, and after getting along for a while, Gao Cheng was quite satisfied with him.

And such an appointment and dismissal is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Zheng family in Xingyang, but what they don't know is that Gao Cheng is more for Zheng Shuzu's personal character and ability, rather than his family.

Zheng Shuzu of course has the qualifications and ability to serve in the history of assassination, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty he and his father Zheng Daozhao had served as the history of the Gwangju assassin, his tenure has many political achievements, bandits extinction, the people of the time said:

'Big Zheng Gong, Little Zheng Gong, fifty years apart, the wind and religion are still the same. ’

In fact, there is another reason why Gao Cheng took the opportunity to make trouble, in history, Wen Zisheng was involved in the rebellion of the clan, and was imprisoned by the original owner and starved to death.

He is a literati, even if he really has the heart of rebellion, it is impossible for him to break through the obstruction of the guards and plot to assassinate himself.

Wen Zisheng is not very bold, he was scolded by Gao Cheng, he was already frightened, although he was reappointed as the right chief of history, but he did not dare to complain, after all, he was impatient with mundane affairs, otherwise how could Gao Cheng find a reason to remove Jeju from the post of assassin.

When the inspection team left Jeju, they took away the original Jeju Thorn Shi Wen Zisheng, and he wrote poems for Gao Cheng along the way, leaving the new Jeju Thorn Shi Zheng Shuzu, even if he resigned from the post of secretary of the ministry, the appointment and dismissal of the personnel at the first level of the Thorn History was actually decided by the King of Qi, but it was just necessary to send someone back to Luoyang to make up the road procedures and stamp a seal.

After leaving Licheng, Gao Cheng did not continue east to Qingzhou, but turned north, crossed the Yellow River, and went to Hebei.

However, he still sent someone to escort Li Changyi to Qingzhou alone to visit his parents.

Officials such as Li Huibo, who can bring their families to govern the land, have always been the objects of close surveillance by the spies of the Wangsi Division, such as Jianzhou Assassin Shi Weijing, and only Di Gan can make an exception.

Therefore, Gao Cheng knows the people's feelings under Qingzhou well, Li Huibo is conscientious, and he doesn't need to go again, of course, he still dragged Li Changyi to bring him greetings to Yue Weng.

Crossing the river from Jeju to Hebei, the first stop is Jizhou.

Gao Cheng's popular base in Jizhou can be said to be the most reliable existence among the 38 northern states, and the main reason is that Gao Cheng and Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu mentioned the punishment of Wei Jing.

How arrogant and domineering Wei Jing was at that time, Gao Huan dissuaded him not to be greedy, and he dared to retort: 'I just ask for it from the people, and you ask for it from the Son of Heaven, let's not say anything about anyone.' ’

And Gao Huan was swallowed this sentence, and he could only spit on himself.

Not to mention the injury of Gao Cheng and other things, he was also at large in the end, so even if Wei Jing was angry and resentful in Jizhou at that time, no one expected that someone would uphold justice for him.

It was in such despair that Gao Cheng came to Jizhou, imprisoned Wei Jing to Luoyang, almost let him die socially, and beat his son with a hundred whips.

Wei Jing didn't have a subdued law, no one blamed Gao Cheng, everyone knew that he did his best, but Gao Huan personally came down to intercede, after all, the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky.

As soon as the procession crossed the river, the people heard the news and came to meet the king.

Of course, Gao Cheng will not let go of such a good opportunity, and he will teach Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, who only turned five years old a few days ago.

But seeing such a warm scene, the young hearts of the brothers were also greatly shocked and convinced.

Gao Cheng only entered the letter capital, that is, received a letter from Luoyang, Yuan Zhonghua gave birth to a son on April 27, and the Son of Heaven gave him the title of Hejian County, please name it by Gao Cheng.

was just born, and he didn't even have a name, so he couldn't wait to give him a knighthood, and Yuan Shan saw that this uncle and uncle was too eager.

Gao Cheng is also a person who is too lazy to use his brain in choosing a name, so he simply named the third son Gao Xiaowan, and wrote a letter to Yuan Zhonghua to take good care of his body.

Although Yuan Xiaoyou, the assassin of Jizhou, was born in the Yuan Wei clan, when it comes to who is the first licking dog under the command of King Qi, he is the only one, and even Zhang Shiqi is inferior to him.

Yuan Xiaoyou, like Yuan Jing'an, knew that as a descendant of the Yuan family, he was born with original sin when the Gao family was in power, so when he governed the place, he worked harder than others, in addition, he often called his staff to write nursery rhymes to praise Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng can be so supported by the people of Jizhou, and the efforts of Yuan Xiaoyou are also indispensable.

Yuan Xiaoyou licked so hard, in fact, Gao Cheng saw it all, after all, the three states of Hebei, Ding, and Xiang are the core places of Hebei, and put a Yuan Wei clan in the position of the assassin of Jizhou, with the suspicion of King Xiaogao, how could it not be monitored.

The suspicion is serious, but Gao Cheng will not treat the person who is interested in him, he knows that Yuan Xiaoyou has a daughter, and at the reception banquet, he called the nine-year-old third brother Gao Jun, the prince of Yong'an County, to ask Yuan Xiaoyou for him.

Yuan Xiaoyou was stunned by this huge happiness, and he couldn't imagine that after so many years of licking dogs, he had everything he had in the end, and he was able to marry Gao's family.

Yuan Jing'an, who was attending this banquet with everyone, looked at Yuan Xiaoyou's eyes full of envy, and he couldn't wait to replace him.

Gao Jun's marriage was decided by the eldest brother in a few words, and he bowed to Yuan Xiaoyou calmly, without a trace of displeasure on his face.

After all, the eldest brother is like a father, although his biological father is suspicious, but he is the most favored by the eldest brother, and there was a time when he mistakenly thought that the eldest brother was his biological father, so he also asked his mother Wang and made a big joke.

The eldest brother must have his intentions in arranging it this way, as for the appearance of his wife, it doesn't matter, these days, whoever marries a wife is going to look good.

Although Zhang Weng Yuan Xiaoyou served his eldest brother extremely flattering and was ridiculed by the people of the time, Gao Jun could also understand his situation, and with such a smart father-in-law, he didn't have to worry that he would cause trouble and implicate himself.

On the other hand, don't look at Yuan Xiaoyou as humble as a licking dog in front of Gao Cheng, but he is also the great-great-grandson of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao, the king of Linhuai, and the assassin of Jizhou, he took over the position of Gao Cheng's uncle Lou Zhao.

Regardless of identity or authority, it is enough to be worthy of Gao Jun, the only flaw is just the surname Yuan, but looking at Gao Cheng's attitude, no matter what he does in the future, Yuan Xiaoyou will definitely sit back and relax.

Not only Gao Jun, but Gao Cheng gave the marriage of the fourth brother Pingyang County Gong Gao Yan at this reception banquet.

As a native of Xindu, the head of the Feng family of Changle went to the banquet this time, and specially brought the granddaughter of Feng Xixuan, the Taishi and King of Changli Wu, the great-granddaughter of Feng Xiu, Shizhong, Shangshu, and Dongping Gong, and the nine-year-old Feng Suoluo.

When paying homage to Gao Cheng, King Xiao Gao saw that the girl was well-behaved and clever, and she was the same age as her fourth brother Gao Yan, and he vaguely remembered that this girl seemed to be the princess of Pingyang in history, so he waved his hand and set up this family affair for Gao Yan.

The head of the Feng family had heard about Gao Cheng's choice of relatives for Gao Rui when he was in Xingyang, so he brought his daughter Feng Suoluo and planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to come true, so he naturally agreed without hesitation and thanked him.

Gao Yan also learned from the third brother to salute Feng Suoluo's father solemnly.

A good reception banquet seems to have a tendency to change to a blind date conference.

Gao Zhan, who was only five years old, shouted for his eldest brother to find a family for himself, as Gao Zhan grew up, he was getting closer and closer to Gao Cheng in appearance, Gao Cheng was not surprised, it seemed that the two brothers were originally a little similar.

In the original time and space, Gao Xiaowan missed his father, so he sent someone to draw a portrait of Gao Cheng, and often cried at the portrait, but was falsely accused by an unfavored concubine of crying in front of Gao Zhan's portrait and cursing him to die early.

So Gao Zhan discounted Gao Xiaowan's legs and let him die of his injuries.

Gao Cheng endured his disgust and scolded with a smile:

"Bu Luoji (Gao Zhan) You are only five years old, and your brothers are not engaged yet, which round will get you, and wait first."

Gao Yang, who accompanied the banquet, sensed Gao Cheng's fleeting disgust, although he didn't know what the reason was, but this kind of disgust, even if he had always been on guard, had never encountered it, and couldn't help but wonder what this ninth brother had done to make Gao Cheng so annoyed.

Five-year-old Gao Zhan couldn't have the same observation as his second brother, so he just sat back unhappy.

After all, his mother Lou Zhaojun, who had always doted on him, was deliberately left in Luoyang by Gao Cheng and the rest of his concubines, even if it was Zheng Dache, he was sent back to Luoyang Yaoguang Temple when he left Xingyang.

In the early years, Gao Cheng was still close to Lou Zhaojun, but as he grew older, the mother and son gradually became estranged, but fortunately, Lou Zhaojun could not ask about everything like shackling Gao Yang.

After all, although she has a good influence among the generals of Jinyang, no one buys her account in the original Luoyang lineage.

And Gao Cheng's succession was based on Gao Huan's last orders and the support of the generals, not like Gao Yang, but was supported by Lou Zhaojun, and the two are naturally not the same.

After the banquet, the curious Gao Yang made a special inquiry, only to learn that Gao Zhan tortured and killed Gao Cheng's second daughter's pet rabbit, thinking that this incident angered Gao Cheng, so he didn't take it to heart anymore.

Gao Yang is now very well-behaved, Gao Cheng doesn't allow him to drink, so at the reception banquet, he really doesn't drink a drop of wine, no way, when he meets such a shrewd big brother, if he is not careful, in case there is really something wrong, who knows if Gao Cheng has a small book behind his back to keep accounts behind everyone's back, just like Huo Guang treats Liu He, when the time comes, the general ledger will be calculated, even if there is no risk of life, it will be unbearable to be demoted to a concubine.

In fact, Gao Yang also has no good impression of Gao Zhan, how can a person who has not been loved by his mother since he was a child look at Gao Zhan who is pampered, when Gao Zhan killed Gao Shaode, Gao Yang's son, in the face of his begging for mercy, he once asked:

'When your father beat me, did you intercede for me?' ’

After Gao Zhan ascended to the throne, he took pleasure in collecting Gao Yang's wives and concubines, and he could generally understand the relationship between the two brothers.

4000 words is just right, my wrist is sore, and there are still 1,000 words missing, so let's take it slow and put it in the evening.

Thank you for the book friend Erjia Jinshi and Wuxian for your reward.
