Chapter 352: The Four Princes of Qi (5000)

Civil strife in the Southern Dynasty is not big news, the old tradition, but in the Southern Liang Dynasty, civil strife is a rare thing, after all, Xiao Bodhisattva, you say that he is not enterprising, he is indeed keen to participate in Buddhism.

But if you say that he doesn't know how to govern, then you will look down on people.

Yu Xin once mentioned in his famous article "Mourning Jiangnan Fu" in his mourning for his homeland: "In the past 50 years, Jiang Biao has been fine. ,

That is, during the reign of Xiao Yan, there was no civil strife in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a peaceful scene.

These words are exaggerated, but before Hou Jing's rebellion, Jiangnan had indeed been peaceful for many years, and there were few large-scale civil strife.

Even this outbreak of unrest did not occur in the Jiangnan region, but in the faraway Jiaozhou, which is now northern Vietnam.

Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Xiao Zhi is the son of Xiao Yan's half-brother Xiao Hui, although he is not the eldest and has no hope of being a prince, but he also made the founding marquis of Wulin County according to the rules, and there are 500 households in the city.

But this amount of money is not enough for Marquis Xiao's expenses, so during his tenure, he wantonly extorted the people's wealth, which can be called Yan Guo plucking his feathers, and Jiaozhou can be said to be a poor livelihood for the people.

Why, Marquis Xiao gave up the gentle township of Jiankang and came to Jiaozhou, where the miasma is rampant, it's not too much to make two dollars.

The people at the bottom dared not speak out, but Li Ben, a powerful man in Jiaozhou, who was the supervisor of Texas at the time, had something to say. (Seat of Des, now Rong City, Nghe An Province, Vietnam)

In 541, at the end of the previous year, the state of Linyi in southern Vietnam attacked Jiaozhou, and Li Ben took this opportunity to raise an army in December and expelled Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xiao Shi, thus controlling Jiaozhou, Dezhou and other northern regions of Vietnam.

Xiao Yan was expelled, fled to Guangzhou, and sent people to deliver the news to Jiankang, Xiao Yan learned that he was furious, and immediately ordered Xinzhou (Xinxing County, Guangdong) to assassinate Shi Lu Zixiong and Gaozhou (Yangxi County, Guangdong) to assassinate Shi Sun Jian to conquer Li Ben, and was controlled by Xiao Ying, the assassin of Guangzhou.

At that time, it was already spring, and the miasma in Lingnan had been born, and Lu Zixiong asked Xiao Yang, the assassin of Guangzhou, whether he could send troops after the autumn, but he was refused, and Xiao Zhi urged, so he had to reluctantly go west to quell the rebellion.

However, the army only reached Hepu County (Pubei, Guangxi), and the number of soldiers who died due to miasma was as high as six or seven out of ten, and no one dared to continue walking, and the troops were scattered, and Sun Jian had to lead the rest of the troops to return when he saw this.

Xiao Yan then falsely accused Xiao Yan that Lu Zixiong and Sun Jian were secretly colluding with Li Ben for their delays, so Xiao Yan ordered the two to die in Guangzhou.

As for Xiao Shi, who was unkind to the government and caused this riot, he served as Wei Weiqing after returning to Jiankang, taking charge of the palace gate, and also the armory and the arsenal.

Of course, this is also in line with Xiao Yan's consistent practice, he has always been a bodhisattva in his treatment of the clan, or he is called Xiao Bodhisattva.

Xiao Zhi was so frightened, he couldn't give him a critical position to appease him.

It's just that Lu Zixiong and Sun Yin's old department have different views, and when they learned that the two assassins were killed, everyone was indignant.

In 544, Xiao Yao, who presided over the suppression of the rebellion, once again gathered the armies of various states in Guangzhou, and Lu Zixiong's generals Du Tianhe, Du Shengming and others took the opportunity to launch a mutiny and besiege the city of Guangzhou, and the responders gathered.

After all, Lu Zixiong just walked to Hepu County, and he fell ill and died of six or seven percent of the soldiers, and everyone was afraid.

It is said that Du Tianhe asked everyone: If you go, you will die, if you don't go, you will die, wait for death, what about the country? ….

Everyone replied: すごい死国矣!

Xiao Yang's Xijiang Supervisor and Gaoyao County Guard Chen Ba heard the news first, led 3,000 elite soldiers, day and night, and captured the rebel generals Du Tianhe, Du Shengming and others in the first battle.

Xiao Yan was very happy to learn that there was such a fierce general, and awarded him the title of General Zhige, the title of Viscount of Xin'an, 300 households, and sent Chen Baxian's appearance to Jiankang for his own viewing.

Of course, this is all a later story, the time goes back to the eleventh year of Taichang (542), and Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, who switched freely between Huang Yin and Qinzheng, knew about the Jiaozhou rebellion, and knew that those people were just stepping stones for Chen Ba to take the stage first.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to Lingnan, and just ordered people to continue to collect intelligence.

In the drama of the Later Three Kingdoms, Chen Baxian's current status is not qualified to sing, he just stepped on the first step of the high platform.

Gao Cheng is different, he not only went to the stage, but also set up a table on the stage, stood on the table, so

Someone needs to look up and can't ignore his presence.

Maybe it's too dazzling, even if it's a secret thing like King Qi's night visit to Yaoguang Temple, it has been leaked out, and it has been spread in the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

Yaoguang Temple is not an ordinary nun temple, it not only supports the concubines of the past dynasties, the reason why it is said to be the past dynasties, the main reason is that it was too chaotic a few years ago, in Luoyang, five emperors died in five years.

And there are also side chambers of Gao Huan's unborn, such as Zheng Dache, Li, Ma and others,

The people of Luoyang are too interested in such exciting news.

The reason why the news leaked was not that the guards were not strict-mouthed, but that they really couldn't hide it, and the queen who abolished the emperor Yuen Long was about to give birth.

Calculate the time, isn't it the seed that Gao Cheng left in Yaoguang Temple before he went out on patrol.

It is inevitable that there will be such ominous things as Gao Jun's father, but all the women in Yaoguang Temple who have been favored by King Qi have Gao Cheng's trusted maidservants to serve in the temple closely, and they are also surveillance.

Of course, Gao Cheng will categorically not admit the rumors that King Qi visited Yaoguang Temple at night, such as Gao Longzhi in Shangshu and Sima Ziru in Zhongshu, etc., have also come forward to clarify the rumors and endorse King Qi's character.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the eleventh year of Taichang, the Lantern Festival, that night, a newborn baby boy was secretly sent from Yaoguang Temple to the palace of King Qi by Yun Niang.

The next day, the palace of the king of Qi released the news that a maid in the palace gave birth to the fourth son of the king of Qi, but the maid died due to dystocia, and the king of Qi chased her as a concubine, but outsiders did not know the name.

Not only is the biological mother unknown, but the fourth son has not even taken a name, compared to his three brothers, it seems that he is extremely unloved, although there are rumors from the Yaoguang Temple that the biological mother of this son is the queen of Yuen Long, the later emperor Yuen Long, but not many people believe it, because during the same period, the spies of the Listening Department muddied the waters.

Listening to Gao Cheng's orders, Wangsi released all kinds of rumors to confuse the public, who is the biological mother of the fourth son, it can be said that there is a version in one day, and the most excessive one actually said that the fourth son was born to King Qi and his mother-in-law, that is, Hu Zhi, the biological mother of the Son of Heaven.

Even the specific details of Hu Zhi and King Qi's upside down are clear-eyed, as if they have witnessed it with their own eyes.

There are even people who say that Hu Zhi and Cui Youfei, that is, Li Zu'e and Li Zuyi's mother, served the King of Qi together, and the rumors became more and more outrageous, so no one believed them anymore, and even took the King of Qi to visit Yaoguang Temple at night was also regarded as a similar rumor, and it was also rarely mentioned, and in the end, it disappeared from the annals, and even the wild history did not leave a record of a few words. ….

Poor Hu Zhi and Cui Youfei were rumored and wiped their tears at home all day long, but it was Gao Cheng who led Yuan Zhonghua and the Li sisters to come to the door to comfort them in person, and they came out of the haze.

Afterwards, Gao Cheng did not hold the director of the Listening and Wangsi accountable, and even promoted him to an official, and let him train well in the place, saying that it would be of great use in the future.

This hand rises and falls, in fact, it also reveals Gao Cheng's dissatisfaction, I asked you to confuse the public, and didn't let you pull Hu Zhi and Cui Youfei in, fortunately, Xiao Gao Wang has a clear conscience, at most, he only occasionally thought about whipping the white-skinned and delicate Cui Youfei, but he never really whipped his mother-in-law like Gao Yang.

After hearing that the position of director of the Wangsi Division was vacant, everyone thought that Gao Cheng would be selected from the staff according to the usual practice, and no matter how bad it was, it would be Gao Huan's old staff, but when the election was selected, everyone was surprised.

Gao Cheng took Wei Xiaokuan as the chief envoy and Li Yuan as the deputy envoy, and the two presided over the affairs of the Listening and Wangji Division.

At the same time, Wei Xiaokuan was responsible for the fine work in the south, that is, Shu and Jiangnan, and Li Yuan was in charge of the north, that is, the fine work of Rouran, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo.

Li Yuan can still understand that in order to win over the Li family in Longxi, why did Wei Xiaokuan act as a righteous envoy and suppress Li Yuan.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the Son of Heaven gave marriage to the King of Qi and Jingzhao Wei, among which Wei's female name was Wei Changying, the eldest daughter of Wei Xiaokuan, who was married to Huangfu Dao, the son of Emperor Fu Mu of Longdong Taishou of the Western Wei Dynasty, at the age of seventeen.

Huangfu Dao died in the battle to resist the Eastern Wei and Western Expeditions, and Wei Changying was also widowed.

Looking at the identity of this widow, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military also figured it out, and secretly sighed that King Xiaogao's original intention has not changed, although he has received a lot of yellow flower girls over the years, but the best (ho) is this mouthful.

That Wei Xiaokuan is just relying on it

Nepotism is superior.

However, everyone else thought wrongly, it was not that Gao Cheng wanted to marry Wei Changying and reused Wei Xiaokuan, but that Gao Cheng wanted to reuse Wei Xiaokuan and married Wei Changying.

Besides, Xiao Gao Wang is really not a woman, and his slander is just a rumor from the outside world.

As for why the Son of Heaven has to marry when he returns to take concubines, it is also mentioned above, even if it is a prince, there is a limit on the number of concubines, and Gao Cheng's harem has long exceeded the prescribed size of eight people.

Don't let the Son of Heaven give you a marriage, look, King Qi really didn't want to take a concubine, but he was forced by the Son of Heaven to marry into the door.

Gao Cheng's joy has not passed, but the doubts about the biological mother of the fourth son have dissipated, on the 26th day of the first month, the Qi Wangfu held a wedding banquet, and the three daughters of Yuwen, Princess Huarong, and Wei Changying entered the door together.

At the wedding banquet, Gao Cheng took advantage of the strength of the wine and said to the guests:

"Jing Zhaowei Gong, the lonely father-in-law, although his reputation is not obvious, he knows his ability, and he is definitely not a fortunate minister who is ascended to the throne by his in-laws, and the monarchs must not be despised by them."

Wei Xiaokuan was moved on the spot, and in the past few days, some people have always said that he is selling women for glory and poking him in the back.

That's it, after all, it's just human words, and Wei Xiaokuan doesn't care much about it.

But he is a general, and he parachutes into the position of the chief envoy by virtue of nepotism, even if the people below dare not confront him on the surface, but secretly the yang and the yin will definitely happen.

Wei Xiaokuan was planning to severely punish a group of thorns to establish his prestige after taking office, but he didn't expect that before he took office, Gao Cheng had already stood up and supported himself in front of the Manchu civil and military who came to congratulate him. ….

With Gao Cheng's prestige, naturally no one will dare to put a beak on it.

Why, do you think King Qi can't see people? Cui Jishu is going to carry his iron fist to compare with you, so that you can enjoy the treatment of the emperor, after all, Cui Jishu belongs to the former Luoyang faction members who were favored and promoted by Gao Cheng and held a high official position.

That night, Gao Cheng went to Wei Changying's house first, after all, Aunt Yuwen was a good friend, and Huarong Road had also walked a lot on the way back to Luoyang, so naturally Aunt Yuwen and Princess Huarong were placed in the second half of the night and let the two serve together.

It is said that the young Princess Worm broke a lot of utensils in the Yanran Pavilion that day, but Gao Cheng couldn't help it, he was only twelve years old, and he really couldn't speak.

On the second day of the wedding, Gao Cheng learned the news and immediately went to Yanran Pavilion to appease Princess Worm, and coaxed her as if he were coaxing his daughter.

There's no way, it's like this, for the sake of the big and white style of the Western Regions... In order for Anapu to share his group of high-chariot women, so that some bachelors can start a family, Xiao Gaowang can be regarded as regardless of personal honor and disgrace.

Due to Gao Cheng's decentralization of power to a certain extent in government affairs, the three provinces and six ministries of the government each performed their duties, spring ploughing and other matters were handled by Shangshu Province and the local government, and then Nanliang suffered from civil strife, Yuwentai was busy integrating Shudi, and the frontier was calm.

Gao Cheng really spent a period of comfortable time, occasionally going outside the city during the day, or inspecting the sailor training, or having fun with the Xianbei soldiers, and often waiting for people to come from the tunnel at night, or going to Yaoguang Temple, of course, more time to stay at home.

At the end of March of the eleventh year of Taichang (542), the facial features of Gao Cheng's fourth son finally appeared, the eyelids, nose, and mouth were initially outlined, and the eyebrows and hair began to grow.

It's just that at first glance, others think it's a female baby, but the fourth son who is still in swaddling clothes is beautiful, but people are always worried about his appearance as an adult.

It's just that the men and women of others are just there, but the appearance of his father Gao Cheng and the rudiments of his own facial features are placed here, and he is afraid that he will be even worse than Fenghuang in the future.

Fenghuang is the Emperor of Xiyan Murong Chong, whose appearance is delicate and handsome, and has the posture of Longyang.

The male body and the female appearance are too handsome, which is still a blessing in disguise for ordinary people, not to mention the death of the country.

After the fall of Qianyan, twelve-year-old Murong Chong and his sister fourteen-year-old Princess Qinghe were included in the harem by Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, and the sister and brother were exclusively favored.

From time to time, a nursery rhyme sang: 'One female and one male, both fly into the Purple Palace.' ,

Because of Wang Meng's advice, Fu Jian endured the pain and sent Murong Chong out of the palace, and because of the nursery rhyme: 'Fenghuang

, Fenghuang stops a room. ,

So the infatuated Fu Jian planted hundreds of thousands of sycamore and bamboos for his Fenghuang in Afang City.

Of course, the infant fourth prince does not need to have such worries, after all, his father King Qi is powerful, unless the Gao family is defeated one day, this fourth prince may end up with the miserable end of Murong Chong being played with.

And Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, seemed to finally remember that he still had such a son who did not choose a name, so he used his clumsy calligraphy to write the word filial piety and named the fourth son Gao Xiaojun.

Gao Cheng didn't know if it was providence, but since he was the fourth son, he was walking on the road of softness, so he really couldn't make up his mind, whether this was the king of Lanling, one of the four beautiful men. ….

But it's not a matter of not taking a name, so he still gave the word filial piety, and when he grows up a little, if he is really a good guy with a soft heart, Gao Cheng will give the word Changgong, but if he doesn't want to be motivated, he will naturally change his name, so as not to spoil the name.

Compared with the three elder brothers, Gao Xiaojun only got one Leling county duke, which seems to show that King Qi does not like the fourth son who is suspicious of his biological mother.

Therefore, even if the biological mothers of the three elder brothers, the former Empress of Great Wei Er Zhu Ying'e, the former Princess Song of Yingchuan, and Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua would not spend their energy on this Gao Xiaojun, who was raised by his nursing mother and was not valued by his father.

Gao Cheng often goes to Yaoguang Temple to have fun, and he is not fed up with the trivial matters of the inner house.

The mother thinks about her son, and this matter is understandable and cannot be stopped.

What the three girls are fighting in secret, as long as they don't put their faces on the surface, Gao Cheng will not interfere.

It's not that he hasn't thought about establishing a son, but now there are four concubines, the eldest Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu are only six years old, the third Gao Xiaowan is less than one year old, and the youngest Gao Xiaowan is still in infancy.

At this time, he was in a hurry to set up a son, in case he could not meet Gao Cheng's wishes in the future, the end of the deposed son would definitely not be much better, even if Gao Cheng could protect him when he was alive, it was difficult to guarantee that his brother would not make a move on him after his death.

Even if he sets up a son, it is impossible to completely stop thinking about it, not to mention that the current wife is a twelve-year-old worm princess for the time being, whether she can enter the door as a wife is unknown, Yuan Zhonghua was not replaced as a wife before entering the door.

In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of March, that is, the Beijing exam.

This time, Gao Cheng still nominally served as the chief examiner in the Beijing examination, but it was the staff of the two governments of the General's Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion who really scored the papers.

The topic was also discussed and formulated by Yang Su, the right servant, Cui Jishu, the head of the household, and Chen Yuankang, the pastor of Sizhou.

Gao Cheng only walked around the examination room on the day of the exam, and did not show up.

You ask King Qi what he is doing during this period, he is busy indulging in silky smoothness with Yuan Jiyan who came over from the tunnel.

After making reasonable arrangements for power, it turned out that not only the emperor, but also the powerful ministers could rule by bowing their bows.

Gao Cheng also figured it out, he crossed over, he didn't do a cow and horse in government affairs every day, and he should be happy when he should be happy.

Xiao Gao Wang was ten years old and ran around for his father, can't he enjoy it!

In fact, the main thing is that the four seas are peaceful, the country has nothing to do, Gao Cheng has spent ten years to gather a group of henchmen who are trustworthy and can delegate power a little, so naturally there is no need to worry about everything.

Didn't Sima Yi make a judgment, saying that Zhuge Liang had little trouble and his life was short.

As a modern person, Gao Cheng naturally doesn't ask for immortals, but in addition to abstaining from sex, Xiao Gao Wang really cherishes his body.

The results of the Beijing examination were released on the third day of April, and compared with the first imperial examination, the proportion of poor students this time has increased slightly, but it is still dominated by the children of the scholar family.

Gao Cheng has nothing to regret, as long as he has real talent and learns.

Moreover, the imperial examination system is the result of snatching food in the mouths of the scholars, and things can't be done too much, and only poor students can be forcibly admitted who can be slightly inferior.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

, as for whether it is the scholar clan or the poor family who is hired with real talent, he really doesn't care, and the children of the scholar clan are still working hard for him.

What's more, as long as the opening of the imperial examination is opened, the rise of the cold door is the general trend of history after all, and there is no need for Gao Cheng to worry about it anymore.

How could I be a Cao thief
