As the person who shared the military power of the Eastern Liang with Liu Zhongli, Wu Mingche's secret defection undoubtedly deepened the control of the Northern Qi over Jiangdong.

In the original time and space, Wu Mingche was defeated and exiled to Chang'an, and died in shame, the reason for such a big difference is that Xiao Liang was torn apart, making it difficult for him to see hope.

Secondly, although the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty actually carried out the Sinicization reform, in order to alleviate the internal contradictions, they adopted the means of Xianbei on the surface, such as letting the Sinicization Xianbei restore the Xianbei surname, and giving the Xianbei surname to the Han ministers, such as Yang Zhong is Puliu Ruzhong, and Li Hu is the big wild tiger.

Wu Mingche was in such an atmosphere, and naturally returned to the south, even if he was named the Duke of Huaide County by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and worshiped the general, he still aggravated his illness due to anger and died in a foreign land.

And Gao Chengzhi no matter how close he is to the Xianbei generals, he always insists on his Han identity in front of Wu Mingche, which is enough to make Wu Mingche let go of the mustard in his heart.

Xiao Gao Wang is so interested in Wu Mingche, but also because although the proportion of the Han army has gradually increased, outside of Gao Ji, there are few Han army generals that he can rely on with confidence.

And Wu Mingche, as one of the sixty-four generals who set up temples in the Tang Dynasty and one of the seventy-two generals who set up temples in the Song Dynasty, deserves to be respected and befriended by Gao Cheng.

When the news of Wu Mingche's surrender was secretly transmitted to Luoyang, Gao Cheng actually didn't have much of a surprise, after all, if the general trend is clear today, as long as he doesn't die violently, it will only be a matter of time before the Northern Qi Dynasty is unified.

As the son of Northern Qi, he is so devoted to Wu Ming, and he should also be moved.

Xiao Gang couldn't have imagined that his henchmen, the people he used to check and balance Liu Zhongli, finally let go of the gap between the north and the south because he couldn't see hope, and his surname was Gao behind his back.

As for Xiao Yuanming, life is very difficult.

Because he had gone out of the town of Jingkou before, he put all the profits from the smuggling trade with the Northern Qi over the years, and he also thought that once the incident happened, Jiangnan would not be able to stay, so he would cross the river with his family wealth and become a rich man.

Now Jingkou is occupied by the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the belongings accumulated over the years have been confiscated by Gao Cheng and transported to Luoyang to be filled into the treasury.

If his family wealth is gone, it will be gone, but the sailors under his hands do not agree.

In the past few years, they have followed Xiao Yuanming to make a lot of money, and they all have a solid background, but now they have abandoned the Jiankang court with him, switched to Xiao Yi, and hindered them from building pontoon bridges when they crossed to the south of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Now that they can't return to their families, all their family rolls have been relocated to Jiangbei, and they can't get their family wealth back, so they can't vent their anger to Qi people, so they blame Xiao Yuanming on their heads.

Not long after the beginning of the year, Xiao Yuanming's sailors mutinied, and they snatched ships down the river, which at first caused a panic in Jiankang, thinking that the war would start again, until the people who barricaded the river communicated with the mutinous sailors, they knew that they were going back to Beijing.

Xiao Gang didn't dare to be good at this matter, so he hurriedly asked Duan Shao, the commander of the Liang Qi army, and Duan Shao instructed them to rest assured and let them return to Jingkou.

In fact, the mutiny of Xiao Yuanming's sailors was the result of the Northern Qi Dynasty luring them with their family scrolls and property.

The Northern Qi Dynasty set aside such a stronghold in Jingkou in the south of the Yangtze River, not only to garrison troops, but Wei Xiaokuan, who presided over the Tingwang Si Nanya, deliberately set up an organization in Beijing, which was more convenient for Jiangnan intelligence collection and bribery of officials and generals.

For example, Wu Mingche and other famous generals in history naturally came out in person, but there are also some other figures, who are listening to the detectives of the Si Si.

Regarding the bribery work of the Listening and Wangsi Division, Gao Cheng just asked them not to contact Wang Seng Debate for the time being, so as not to lose manpower in vain.

Of course, he knew that Wang Sengbi was injured by a knife and went to prison, but Gao Cheng was not a roundworm in the other party's stomach, so he really couldn't understand Wang Sengbi's intentions.

As for Chen Baxian, everyone worships the prime minister, this official guy is too familiar, the father and son of the Gao family have served in this position, and no one will go to Guangzhou to contact him.

Now I listen to the focus of the infiltration of Si Nanya's spies on the two forces of Xiao Gang and Xiao Lun, as for Xiao Yi, it is really the Du family brothers he relies on and the Northern Qi Dynasty that have a deep grudge, two of them died in the battle of the Northern Qi and the Southern Expedition to Jianghan.

And the Yuwentai forces that Gao Cheng was thinking about were really difficult to open the door, which made Gao Cheng regret that he shouldn't have let Yuwen's sister-in-law stay in the north back then.

Dissatisfied, King Xiao Gao went to find trouble with Aunt Yuwen, so after the birth of the sixth son Gao Xiaoqi, Aunt Yuwen, an older woman, spread the good news and became pregnant.

For this reason, Gao Cheng also ordered Hu Luguang to send people south to shoot a letter to the Western Wei Pass to inform Yuwentai of the good news.

Yuwentai has seen a lot of winds and waves, and he will not be disturbed by this kind of thing, and now the Western Wei Dynasty strictly guards the pass and is once again committed to the southern expansion, but he will still pay attention to the news from the north from time to time.

It's not just Gao Cheng who scatters spies around, Yuwentai also has fine work in the north, although Gao Cheng travels, he is well protected, but he also heard a lot of his absurd behavior in Yaoguang Temple, just waiting for Xiao Gao Wang to be hollowed out by wine and die violently, after all, people always have dreams.

Gao Cheng also knew his absurd life, no, he was only thirty-one years old, and he began to let Quan Yuanqi and Sun Simiao, the master and apprentice, prepare their meals for themselves.

Although he really can't quit sex, but now he can be called a drop of wine, even if he goes to the camp to comfort the soldiers, he still drinks boiled water prepared in advance, just like when he was a minor.

At the same time, Xiao Gang's daughter, Princess Xiao Miaochun of Liyang, who had been raised in Luoyang Jinling Pavilion for several years, was finally sixteen years old in this year, and she should have reached the age of entering the palace, but Gao Cheng still did not let go, and was ready to wait for another two years and be eighteen years old.

The main reason is that he is also worried that he will be at the mercy of Xiao Gang as a puppet, and Xiao Miaochun will treat him like the princess of Western Xia in later generations who bit off the root of Genghis Khan's life.

After all, if the north is in chaos, can the Xiao family be saved, I am afraid that only by waiting for Xiao Liang to die, the other party's thoughts, and moving all the clans to Luoyang, can this woman be assured to enter the palace to serve.

And the nine-year-old son Xiao Fangzhi has also moved out of Jinling Pavilion, and under Gao Cheng's arrangement, he has also begun to study.

Pingyang Gongyuan Shanjian's son, Gao Cheng's nephew Yuan Huairen was also called to Luoyang to study, once after meeting Cui Jishu, the little guy also engaged in a sneak attack, hit the court Shangshu and shot Cui Jishu three punches, avenging his father Yuan Shanjian.

Cui Jishu didn't care, but in order to please him, someone secretly played Gao Cheng, claiming that Yuan Huairen always remembered the hatred of his father being beaten, how could he forget the hatred of the country, and Jianyi Gao Cheng cut the grass and eradicated the roots as soon as possible.

This is the difference between cronies and ordinary courtiers, Cui Jishu knows that Gao Cheng is a person of great affection, and it is impossible to really poison his nephew who is only twelve years old, and now that the situation has long been stable, Yuan Huairen really has a heart of revenge, and it is a big deal to be quiet.

At the beginning, Yuan Shanjian couldn't turn over the storm, how could Gao Cheng be afraid that his nephew would subvert the society.

Therefore, Cui Jishu laughed at this matter and didn't even mention it.

As he expected, Gao Cheng only glanced at the secret fold and threw it into the wastebasket.

But Cui Jishu was beaten, and he couldn't do without expression, so he summoned Yuan Huairen to the palace and ordered Cui Jishu's son Cui Changjun to hold the stick, and because Yuan Huairen punched Cui Jishu three times, he was fined thirty sticks.

Fortunately, Cui Changjun got Cui Jishu's explanation before entering the palace, and he couldn't be ruthless, otherwise the former prince might not be able to leave the Mingguang Palace.

But in the end, he was still injured, Gao Cheng ordered Quan Yuanqi to treat him, and sent Yuan Huairen to the house of Yuan Zhonghua's son, Zhao King Gao Xiaowan to recuperate, because of the special relationship between their parents, they have been close since childhood.

"You! I don't know how bold you are, dare to beat Cui Fu, not to mention that Cui Fuzhu is a minister of his father's palace, you avenge your uncle, wouldn't it make your father suspicious. ”

Gao Xiaowan sat in front of the couch, looked at the injury on Yuan Huairen's buttocks, and counted the stones.

Yuan Huairen didn't care, he smiled:

"I beat Cui Jishu, but my uncle thinks that I can't hide things in my heart, besides, I have no official or position, and my uncle's suspicion will not be towards me, but Xiaowan You have to be cautious and careful at all times, don't dislike your uncle."

Gao Xiaowan sighed when he heard this, Yuan Huairen was indeed reasonable, if he met Cui Jishu, he could still pretend that nothing happened, but he was afraid that his father would have to worry about his nephew's gloomy and unpredictable mind.

"I never thought that you were a prince of the previous dynasty, and you could do whatever you wanted, but as the prince of Daqi, I am walking on thin ice everywhere."

"If you don't compete with them for the storage position, won't you be able to live a frolicking life like Gao Xiaocong."

Yuan Huairen saw Gao Xiaowan stunned, and continued:

"Actually, that son is not easy to sit, with my uncle's temperament, I'm afraid it's not like walking on thin ice, but sitting on pins and needles, it's better to be a rich and idle king."

Gao Xiaowan also knew that what Yuan Huairen said was reasonable, but when he came to this point, he couldn't help himself for a long time, both his mother and supporters, and his father and emperor drove their brothers to the shelf.

Yuan Huairen knew his difficulties, so he just mentioned it casually, and did not continue to persuade him, but showed off his marriage to Gao Xiaowan.

The nephew was only twelve years old, and Gao Cheng still instructed him to marry the daughter of the clan, his father Gao Yongle, who was the Gao Yongle who did not open the door to Gao Aocao in the Battle of the River Bridge.

Gao Cheng originally wanted to marry his concubine, after all, there was no restriction on marriage on behalf of relatives in ancient times, but after thinking about it carefully, the blood relationship was still too close, and he was worried about accidents, so he selected women from the clan.

Eleven years ago, when Gao Yongle died of illness in Luoyang, he did not leave an heir, and could only succeed his brother Gao Sizong's second son as the heir, but he also had a daughter, who was the same age as Yuan Huairen.

Since he chose a fiancée for his nephew, Gao Cheng was not stingy, and accepted this daughter as a righteous daughter, and gave the princess the title, which was decent enough.

Yuan Huairen deliberately peeked at it before, and his appearance and figure were very suitable, but he had to be fifteen years old to get married according to the rules, which was also an iron law of the Gao family after Gao Cheng became the family.
