In the eyes of later generations, there is no doubt that Zu Ting, who slandered and killed the loyal martyrs of the Hu Lu clan, is indeed a traitor, but it is undeniable that before admonishing Gao Zhan, being whipped by him for 200 and blinding his eyes, Zu Ting has always shown himself as a loyal and honest person who dares to speak out.

This time, after Gao Chengli became the first minister, he was not assigned by anyone, but he was worried that Daqi would repeat the mistakes of Goguryeo.

The original king of Goguryeo Anyuan established three queens, so the country fell into division due to the dispute over the succession.

Now the three ladies of Gao Cheng's harem stand side by side, and they are precisely the biological mothers of the eldest son Gao Xiaozhang, the second son Gao Xiaoyu, and the third son Gao Xiaowan, so he can't help but worry.

However, the situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty was very different from that of Goguryeo, and King Anwon inherited from his assassinated brother King Anzang, and needed the support of the three queens' clans to secure the throne.

Gao Cheng, as the eldest son of Gao Huanyan, followed his father to start a business, how could he need the support of the three clans of Erzhu Ying'e, Yuan Zhonghua, and the Song family.

The three clans must have this ability, and with Gao Cheng's temperament, they have long been planning in secret, ready to kill them.

The root cause of Goguryeo's chaos lies in the fact that there is a division in the country itself, and the powerful ministers have clearly killed all the important figures of another faction led by Xiqun in the royal capital, but the rest of the people can still recruit troops in their own territory to defend themselves, and Gao Cheng will not let the local forces have the ability to divide and resist the central government.

Of course, if you want to say that Zu Ting is dedicated to the public, it is not necessarily.

Since participating in the first imperial examination and being named a jinshi, Zu Ting's career has been smooth, and he has been in the position of the ancestral hall under the Ministry of Rites, but he has been buried in his head all day and has never been assigned an important errand.

In the vast number of officials, if you want to get out of the position, you have to do something deafening, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, what can be bigger than the queen, the prince, and now after Zu Ting first proposed, no matter who sits on the queen's throne this time, he has to accept his favor.

After all, Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu are eleven years old, and Gao Cheng himself is twenty-eight, according to the rules, it is time to set the foundation of the country.

But he doesn't know much about Gao Cheng, after all, the two don't have much contact, and Xiao Gao Wang is absurd, but he feels that he doesn't look like he dies early when he exercises every morning, so he doesn't need to rush to establish a reserve.

What's more important is to presumptuously set the crown prince, if he behaves unfavorably in the future, then whether the prince will be deposed, or let him inherit the throne.

The prince who has been deposed since ancient times has a difficult end, and Gao Cheng, as a father, even if he can protect him for a while, he can't manage the aftermath.

But if it is entrusted by Jiangshan Sheji, it is even more ashamed of the world.

Now the queen's position is vacant, just right for Gao Cheng, in the future, there will really be a son who has the same interests as himself, in order to be outstanding, and his mother can be calmed down after being crowned, as a son-in-law, he has the right of inheritance of his mother's doubt, Gao Cheng is also confident that he is the founder of the country, and has this prestige to let his son-in-law sit on the throne.

Now the middle and low-level officials have invited the queen, which really annoyed Gao Cheng, he smashed all his brains under the imperial steps, and angrily reprimanded at the court meeting:

"The queen is newly mourned, and the bones are not cold, so you will force me to establish a new queen, okay! Okay! is so anxious to show loyalty to the new queen and the prince, if I set up the crown prince, do you still want to force the palace with him, so that I can't become the emperor! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the hundred officials were frightened, but also Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, who were accompanying the previous dynasty to watch the government, also hurriedly knelt on their knees and pleaded guilty.

After the two reached the age of eight, they no longer just studied with their heads bored, but when Gao Cheng was still the king of Qi, he often took them to Zhongshu Province to teach them how to handle government affairs.

Prevent the son from returning to the son, but who would really want to prevent the son from being a waste, such as the two dragons of the Jiajing Dynasty who don't see each other, and really don't care about their son, after all, it's just an example.

This time Gao Xiaowan escaped, he was only seven years old, and he could not go to the court to watch politics until the New Year, as for the little transparent Gao Xiaowan, he had nothing to do with him immediately, and the ministers didn't even know who his mother was.

It is impossible for Gao Cheng to let the world know that Gao Xiaoqian was born by Queen Yuen Long, otherwise wouldn't he have committed adultery in Yaoguang Temple when he was the king of Qi.

A court discussion broke up unhappily, Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu glanced at each other, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then turned their heads away.

Knowing a son is not as good as a father, but as a son, he also knows a lot about his father's temperament, and the two are afraid that Gao Cheng will mistakenly think that they are stirring up the storm behind their backs, and want to be the crown prince.

On the way back to the harem to ask their grandmother Lou Zhaojun for peace together, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly said:

"The eldest brother's grandfather's legacy is all over the world, why is this momentum not as good as mine?"

Gao Xiaozhang stopped when he heard this, and he said with a warm smile:

"My two uncles are dead and disabled, but no one speaks for them, eighteen years of people go to tea and cool, the so-called ancestral legacy, and there are a few points left, but the second brother, for the Han girl, those Han ministers are naturally devoted to you."

Gao Xiaoyu replied sarcastically:

"Don't think that I don't know, the eldest brother is going to push me out and share my father's suspicions, if you want me to say, the eldest brother is also in vain, no matter how loud Wenchen is, for his father, it is like scratching his boots, but the eldest brother has a good grandfather, who is mostly old in the army, and has touched the scale of his father."

Although the two were precocious, they were only eleven years old, and they didn't have the city government like their father, so they couldn't hide things in their hearts.

After that, Gao Xiaoyu walked away, leaving only Gao Xiaozhang's face blue and white.

Gao Xiaozhang hated his identity as Er Zhurong's grandson, and if he really wanted those generals to stand in line, who would choose to support himself between himself and his father for the sake of that little incense eighteen years ago.

It can be said that he didn't get any benefits, and he was suspicious of his father.

After a while, Gao Xiaozhang's face returned to his old friendly smile, and quickly caught up with Gao Xiaoyu, and the two of them were called a brother and sister in front of his grandmother Lou Zhaojun.

Lou Zhaojun asked the brothers to eat the fruit, Gao Xiaozhang ate the poor color, Lou Zhaojun was curious and asked the reason.

高孝章 says:

"If the color is good, it must be sweet, and the grandson wants to leave it for the second brother to eat."

Lou Zhaojun saw that Gao Xiaoyu only ate one, but he didn't want to eat it again, and asked him if he didn't like to eat fruit.

Gao Xiaoyu replied:

"The grandmother gave me the fruit, which was very sweet, and the grandson wanted to take it back and share it with the three younger brothers."

Lou Zhaojun hated Gao Cheng suspicious of his brothers in his life, and at this moment, he was very happy to see the two grandchildren he raised love his brothers, hugged Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu tightly, and sighed with emotion:

"Good grandchildren, they are all my good grandchildren, it should be like this, it should be like this, don't learn from your father, in this world, how can there be a deeper friendship than siblings."

As everyone knows, although the two brothers are young, they have also learned their father's acting skills.
