There is a mountain in Jingkou called Beigu Mountain, and there is a floor on the mountain called Beigu Building.

Gao Cheng walked to the front of the building and met Xiao Zhengqian's question:

'The first country in the world. ’

Everyone who accompanied him knew that Gao Cheng's handwriting was ugly, and no one proposed to let the Son of Heaven leave the ink treasure.

Gao Cheng climbed the tower and overlooked, and saw the surging river at a glance.

In addition to the surging heart, Gao Cheng slapped the railing fiercely, everyone was puzzled, Gao Cheng did not explain, but it took several times to remember, Xin Qiji patted the railing all over, it was in the Jiankang Appreciation Pavilion, which was built by Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty, and now there is no shadow.

But Xiao Gao Wang is the Son of Heaven, I saw him take out the treasure knife on his waist, look at it a few times, and leave a sentence:

"I saw Wu Hook, the railing was patted all over, no one would, and I was on the verge of it."

He didn't explain, just sighed, and walked away.

The accompanying officials followed behind him and whispered:

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Maybe you want to destroy Liang?"

"! Your Majesty is a person who does not believe in his words, according to Cui's opinion, he must blame us for not looking for beauties in Jiangnan. ”

"Cui Fu's words are reasonable."

"If you want to know the sacred heart and be considerate of the king, you have to be Cui Fuju."

Listening to the sycophants of his colleagues, Cui Jishu couldn't help but secretly say proudly:

'No one knows Your Majesty better than I do. ’

Walking to the riverside, Gao Cheng called Duan Shao to his side and said to him:

"I will return the north in a few days, and all the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River will be entrusted to you, if the situation is urgent, filial piety can be cut first."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although Jingkou is a small land, the minister will take root here for His Majesty."

Duan Shao promised that in his eyes, the Nanliang Sailor still had some ability, but the foot riding was really not enough, Gao Cheng left him an army of 30,000 in the south of the Yangtze River, if it wasn't for Gao Cheng's permission, he was confident that he could abolish the establishment in Jiankang at any time.

Gao Cheng also understood his cousin, and advised:

"Filial piety must not have the heart of underestimating the enemy."

Duan Shao replied solemnly:

"Keep it in mind."

Gao Cheng thought about it and admonished again:

"Garrison in Beijing, don't be greedy for beauty, restrain your subordinates, and don't disturb the people."

Duan Shao said awe-inspiringly

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers are not greedy for money or lustful in their lives, and they should also use this to inspire the three armies."

Gao Cheng said in his heart, good guy, you are still bullying the king in person, of course, he also knows that this is a joke that Duan Shao told himself.

"If you call the three armies, you can be exempted, and you can just take military discipline seriously."

When the group returned to Jingkou Town, Xiao Lun's envoy came to ask Gao Cheng for food, grass and weapons.

Xiao Gao Wang is a warm-hearted person, and when he heard that Xiao Lun was going to raise troops to the south to exchange views with Xiao Ji, he immediately agreed, and asked someone to discuss the specific amount with Cui Jishu, and with a wave of his hand, Xiao Lun was exempted from interest.

Gao Xiaoqian followed his father back to his temporary residence, still feeling a little depressed, after his father promised to take their brothers with him in the future expedition to the south.

Now I do it, but it is not the same as I imagined.

Except for the fierce battle of the sailors, the advance troops of Gao Aocao and Peng Le fought a small battle, and there was no conflict in the southern expedition, which made him doubt whether he would go on the expedition with his father or go to the south of the Yangtze River.

The rest of the brothers retired one after another, but Gao Xiaojun still found his father and asked about his doubts.

Gao Cheng stroked his head and said with a smile:

"When my father was young, he learned the art of war with Murong Shaozong for a few days, but the march and combat were more about bullying others.

"In terms of financial resources, material resources and bravery, Jiangnan is far inferior to Jiangbei, and now Jiangbei is united, and Jiangnan has the sons of the Xiao family to compete with each other.

"The battle for the throne has just come to an end, Xiao Lun and Xiao Ji will fight again, in such a situation, why fight hard for their father.

"It is enough to stir up a stir between them with words and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"For example, if Xiao Lun asks me for food, I should help him, wait for him to be defeated, counterattack Jingnan for Xiao Ji, and then ask me for help, I should cross the river in Jianghan to help him retreat from the enemy, and take advantage of the situation to garrison Jingnan."

Gao Xiaoqian was very puzzled by this, and wondered:

"Why is my father sure that Xiao Lun is invincible?"

Gao Cheng explained to him:

"The march and battle are the national strength, Chen Baxian plundered, Jingnan and Lingnan forces are one and the other, and Xiao Lun crosses the South Ridge to attack, and it is even more difficult to supply.

"And the two bosses, Chen Ba first rose in Weimo and established himself with military exploits, while Xiao Lun only relied on the identity of the prince to have today's momentum, and he did not have the talent of a general.

"Besides, Chen Baxian plundered Sergeant Xiao Lun's family scroll before, if he used this as an article during the war, Xiao Lun's army would be in turmoil."

Gao Xiaojun suddenly said:

"It turns out that the theory of victory and defeat depends on the national strength, the second is the ability of the generals, and the third is the heart of the soldiers."

Gao Cheng added:

"We can't forget the hydrological terrain, how brave the white-robed army under Chen Qingzhi was back then, but when the army withdrew, it encountered a flash flood, and a generation of famous generals was only spared."

Gao Xiaoqian said with emotion when he heard this:

"Sure enough, natural disasters are beyond the reach of man."

Gao Cheng did not rush to answer, but called the other four sons and said to them earnestly:

"It is true that natural disasters cannot be resisted by human beings, but as rulers, they can do their best to remedy them, for example, local officials do not build ditches, and when there is a drought and the people have nothing to eat, the politicians should allocate food from all over the country to provide relief to the victims.

"If we sit idly by and watch the starving people scatter and starve everywhere, it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

"You must know that as an official, the greatest evil is to be greedy for disaster relief food, and such a person must be slow to vent his hatred.

"The greatest evil of a ruler is to sit back and watch the people suffer and not save them.

"You have also read history, and you should understand that small people can be bullied, and the king has the power of life and death, and he can regard them as mustard.

"But the small people can't be bullied, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang cut wood as soldiers in Daze Township; Red eyebrows, green forests overthrow the new mang; At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao bewitched 360,000 people in the land of Bazhou.

"In all dynasties, there is no shortage of people who can't survive to rebel, and your grandfather also joined the rebel army in Hebei......"

Gao Cheng didn't finish speaking, but he heard Gao Xiaocong say curiously:

"Didn't my grandfather survive then?"

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then pretended not to hear.

How else can he answer, it can't be said that He Liuhun is purely a careerist, thinking about doing things all day long.

Gao Xiaozhang reprimanded in a low voice:

"The fifth brother should not talk nonsense, and listen to the teachings of his father."

Gao Xiaocong hurriedly covered his little mouth.

Gao Cheng is really helpless about this little son, Gao Xiaocong is stubborn and stubborn, so among the five brothers, he is the most beaten, but sometimes he feels that some of Gao Xiaocong's behaviors are innocent and cute, unlike his four elder brothers, who are all like little adults, lacking childlike fun.

Ignoring this little episode, Gao Cheng continued to educate Zhuzidao:

"Those who are in power should take governing the people as the first priority, and they must let the people live, otherwise even if they kill their heads and exterminate their clans, they will not be able to intimidate them, as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said: 'If you die today, you will die, and you will die if you plan to do something; Waiting for death, what about the dead country? ’”

When Gao Xiaozhang and others heard this, they all said that they remembered their father's teachings.

Gao Cheng said:

"You wait for tomorrow to write an essay on this topic and submit it to your father."

After that, he said to Gao Xiaocong alone:

"Don't fake your hands!"

Gao Xiaocong's face was bitter, and he hugged Gao Cheng's arm and said coquettishly:

"If the child does not rule the people in the future, he will be spared. Or even read books without it. ”

Gao Cheng frowned and asked:

"If you don't study, what will you do in the future?"

"The second uncle lives with wine."

Gao Xiaocong said proudly.

Among Gao Cheng's five sons, the remaining four are estranged from Gao Yang, but Gao Xiaocong and Gao Yang's son Gao Yin get along, and often run to Gao Yang's mansion, and have a good relationship with his second uncle like father and son.

Gao Cheng waved his hand to let Gao Xiaozhang, Gao Xiaoyu, Gao Xiaowan, and Gao Xiaojun step back for the time being.

Gao Xiaoqian had only gone out a short distance when he heard the howl of the fifth brother and the angry reprimand of his father from the house:

"You are so young, you dare to say that you live with wine!"

"For the father, it is best to cultivate oneself and cultivate oneself, how can there be a rebel son like you! No Father! No Father! ”

The four brothers hurriedly bowed their heads and stayed away, but before they left the courtyard, they met Cui Jishu, the right servant of Shangshu, and the four of them hurriedly saluted him as a nephew.

As for the five beautiful women behind Cui Jishu, the four brothers pretended not to see it.

The five women brought by Cui Jishu this time were originally Xiao Zhengde's favorite concubines, and when Xiao Zhengde crossed the river and fled, they were killed by Xiao Yuanming, and these women were secretly hidden by him in Beijing.

When the Northern Qi attacked and occupied Jingkou, Cui Jishu did not forget to let people look at Xiao Yuanming's mansion, and he personally went to the mansion to check and selected these five people.

But because they had previously offered Xue Yuan's family and were responsible for Gao Cheng, they had been left in Xiao Yuanming's mansion.

Today, I saw Gao Cheng say 'no one will, Deng Linyi', so he took it upon himself to bring these five people over.

When Gao Cheng heard that Cui Jishu asked to see him, he let go of Gao Xiaocong's ass and sent him away.

When he saw the five daughters behind Cui Jishu, the little king Gao, who had not been stained for a long time, was interested, but Cui Jishu smiled and said:

"Your Majesty's intentions, the ministers know it."

suddenly lost interest, and always felt that the words had been insulted, even if it was the Son of Heaven, he still had to be a little in awe.

Jiaxuangong's intention is to subdue the mountains and rivers of his homeland, and he feels that he has the ambition to restore the Central Plains, and it is difficult to have the melancholy of a bosom friend.

Gao Cheng said casually at the time, but Cui Jishu understood that Xiao Gao Wang was lonely and unbearable.

But in the end, it was Xiao Cui's kindness, Gao Cheng asked about his identity, and after knowing that it was not a forcibly robbed girl, he only said:

"Send it to Yaoguang Temple for placement."

The five women never left Jiangnan, they just thought that they were sent to Yaoguang Temple to let them lose their hair and become nuns, often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, they were very old, and naturally did not want to be lonely for a lifetime.

They cried and begged for mercy, claiming that they were only willing to serve the king with their bodies.

"Uncle Zheng (Cui Jishu), you explain clearly to them, if you still don't want to go, that's fine."

Gao Cheng was really embarrassed to mention the attributes of Yaoguang Temple in person, so he threw this question to Cui Jishu, and hurriedly went out.

Inside the house, Cui Jishu explained to the five daughters the special features of Yaoguang Temple.

Today's Yaoguang Temple, has long been not the place for concubines in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in Gao Cheng's efforts for many years, has become his private happy city, the temple not only has beautiful women from all sides, but also captive rare beasts, more wine and meat, often with the women in the temple to wander the remains, share the joy.

The five women looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but be curious in their hearts, wanting to see the so-called bliss on earth in Cui Jishu's mouth.

On the third day of October in the fourth year of Zhaode (551), Gao Cheng left Duan Shao as the general of Jingkou Town, commanding 30,000 troops to garrison the three cities and Jingkou, and Wang Wei was resourceful and decisive, and was appointed as the mayor of Jingkou Town, assisted by Duan Shao of the left.

He led the rest of the men and horses to cross the river at Jingkou and return to the north under the escort of the sailors.

And Gao Cheng did not forget to promise Xiao Lun grain, grass, and weapons, he had already traveled to the three states of Wenjiang and Han, and ordered them to provide supplies for Xiao Lun to support the war between Jingnan and Lingnan.

On October 16 of the fourth year of Zhaode, Gao Cheng was still in Huainan, Luoyang Palace, and a new Ding was added.

Chen, who was a prostitute in the Guangyang Mansion, gave birth to a son in the palace.

"Look at this chubby appearance, I'm afraid it's another filial piety."

Lou Zhaojun hugged his little grandson and smiled.

As a mother, she was at odds with her eldest son Gao Cheng, mainly because this son was too disobedient and unfilial, but the enmity between mother and son did not affect her grandson after all.

Not only Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu, who were raised by themselves, whether they were from their son-in-law or their concubines, Lou Zhaojun loved these grandchildren very much, and often called them into the palace to meet each other.

Of course, Gao Cheng's concubines knew about the festival of the mother and son, but they still had to bow down and be small in front of Lou Zhaojun, and do their duty as daughters-in-law in feudal etiquette.

Seeing Lou Zhaojun smiling, Luoyang Palace City was also immersed in a festive atmosphere.

At the same time, Hu Luguang, who successfully captured Hanzhong, also received an edict from Gao Cheng in Jiangnan.

Gao Cheng treated Hu Luguang, a favorite general, and naturally did not hesitate to reward, Feng Hu Luguang was the king of Zhongshan County, moved to Hanzhong, and gave 5,000 horses of cloth and silk for the history of Liangzhou, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded.

And the post of Jingzhou Assassin Shi, as Hu Luguang moved to the town, he was also reduced to a civilian position and no longer led troops.

Gao Cheng led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers with Hu Luguang, and continued to stay in Hanzhong, and the rest of the men and horses returned to their own towns.

Previously, he led the troops to garrison Dasanguan, and dispersed the Yongzhou Thorn Shi Gao Jishi, who was scattered by Dugu and the defending army, also had a commendation, and Gao Cheng reawarded him the title of Duke of Fanyang County, increasing his food and eating, and he was only one step away from the king of the county.

Of course, whether it is the original time and space, or now, the prince of Northern Qi has the phenomenon of indiscriminate rewards, but it is also a helpless move.

Restricting the generals from holding power and restricting them from making profits, it is natural to be more lenient in their ranks.

Fortunately, the prince could not inherit it, and Gao Cheng did not open the door to the clan.

Besides, Gao Cheng is very stingy, and he is not allowed to inherit the prince, and he will end up in one life, and the descendants will attack the lord, and he must be demoted to one level, and he has to be the county duke.

But no matter how cheap the prince is, he can't stop the generals from pursuing it hard, you don't see the first battle of Jianghan, Hou Jing is the vanguard in every battle for the king, and even the family is about to run out.

After getting his wish and being crowned a prince, even Gao Cheng classified his old troops as soldiers, and he could be transferred and belonged to the rest of the generals at any time, and he didn't care.

He Hou Jing didn't want to rebel, he was a loyal minister of Daqi.

Hu Luguang was awarded the title of king, and before he even had time to express his gratitude, he wrote two letters.

One letter was sent to Jiangnan, which was naturally sent to Duan Shao, just to inform him that he was also the king of the county now, and he would rarely come to show off to him in the future.

The other letter was sent to Chang'an, which was addressed to Gao Jishi, the prince of Zhongshan County, asking him what he should pay attention to when dealing with people after becoming the king of the county.
