"There is really no vanity under the fame, worthy of the ...... of the king of Lanling" Gao Wei's eyes showed appreciation, for such a talent, of course he did not hesitate to praise a few words, and said: "In the past, when I was still the prince, my father once said to me in private, the king of Lanling is soft-hearted, cautious and careful, and must bow to everything within his duty, and love the soldiers. ”

Gao Changgong looked flattered and said: "Weichen can't afford to be a ......"

"Hehe, how can you not afford it?" Gao Wei seemed to fall into memory, and said: "I remember the first year of Qianming, when I was still young...... The Turks invaded, and Aiqing was the assassin of the state at that time, and it was Aiqing who defeated the Turks. In the third year of Heqing, the battle of Bishan, the Northern Zhou army besieged Luoyang, seeing that our army could not move an inch, and when General Hulu was at a loss, it was also Aiqing who stepped forward, and under the military order of the governor of Duan, he took five hundred dead soldiers to rush to kill the Northern Zhou military camp, and forcibly tore open the front of the Zhou army, galloped to Luoyang, reversed the situation of the war that was about to collapse, and kept the important town of Luoyang for my Daqi. I remember that when the battle report came, the whole Yecheng was full of people, and it was ten times more lively than today, and I was thinking at that time, what kind of demeanor did this cousin of mine have when he arrived at the battle array, how could he be so invincible? It's exciting, huh...... Now, among my Great Qi clan, the most capable of fighting is none other than Aiqing......"

"My father originally felt that Aiqing's edge was too exposed, and he was afraid that God would be jealous of his talents, so he wanted to polish Aiqing for a few more years, and then leave it to me for great use, so he put Aiqing on hold for a few years...... didn't expect Aiqing to still have such a keen military vision, which is not something that can be summed up by a simple general...... Hehe, now it seems that it is a pity for my father to put Aiqing in Yecheng, I wasted a few years of Aiqing's time in vain, Aiqing will not blame me and the first emperor, right? Gao Wei looked at Gao Changgong, smiled, very affinity, his dark eyes were clear but calm, like an ancient well, unfathomable.

Everyone is waiting to see how Gao Changgong wants to answer, Gao Wei This is an obvious date with a stick, expressing the meaning of cherishing talents, but also testing Gao Changgong, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

couldn't help but secretly sweat for Gao Changgong, if the answer was not good, Gao Changgong would not be able to eat and walk around! The emperor of the old Gao family killed his own brothers, but there were few soft hands, although they all had some character defects, but they were all the masters who said the same in terms of killing, saying that they would kill you, and treating human life as a mustard, and when they did it, they were so sharp and sharp that they didn't care if you were related.

Not to mention that Gao Changgong is not Gao Wei's own brother, just a cousin, isn't there no psychological barrier when the blood is separated by a layer of blood! Although Gao Wei has always been weak and deceitful before, but after killing and Shikai in the main hall today, who will believe it? Isn't this master playing the vicious big bad wolf to play the pure and harmless little white rabbit before?

I have to say that Gao Wei's removal of the hand of Heshi Kai has indeed initially established his authority, so that most of the ministers who originally had a contempt for him have begun to re-examine him - a dragon is a dragon, no matter how kind and harmless it looks on the surface, it can't change the fact that the dragon eats meat, it will smile with you when it doesn't offend it, once it is hungry or angered by it, what will come to you is a bloody storm!

Gao Wei looked at Gao Changgong, and the smile in his eyes did not decrease. Unlike what everyone expected, Gao Changgong was nervous for a while, and then calmly replied: "Minister, the minister does have some small complaints......

Gao Rui's brain buzzed, and he shouted in his heart: "Oops, this kid is going to finish!" Just as he was about to stand up and say a few words, Gao Changgong continued:

"Chen has been in the army since he was a child, and it is common for him to fight in the army, and he suddenly returned to Yecheng, and lived a life of fine clothes and food, a beautiful wife and a concubine, and it was very comfortable at first, but then he felt uncomfortable, although this Yecheng is big, but there is no place for me to run horses on the street, dance a gun, get a stick or something to be careful so as not to hurt my family...... So there was nothing to do, I read and slept all day long, and I was bored and helped the princess to take the child, just that, the princess also disliked me for not taking the child, and often made the child cry without saying, and even changed the diaper well...... Tell me about a big man, what's the matter with children at home? ”

The hall burst into laughter, Gao Wei also laughed, he didn't expect that the king of Lanling, who has always been known for his caution, would actually say witty things, this hand easily resolved Gao Wei's offensive, and instantly made the originally tense atmosphere become cheerful and lively, Gao Wei pointed at him jokingly, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it good to eat, sleep, and sleep all day? How many people envy you can't ask for such a life, and when you come here, you still dislike it...... Okay, I'll find you some errands to do, and save you from being counted down by the princess every day when you go back, hahahaha......"

Gao Wei's laughter slowly subsided, thought for a while, and said:

"I originally wanted you to go directly to the border to serve, but the New Year is approaching, and I have no one to use now, so I am really reluctant...... In this way, Yecheng Beidaying, which was originally controlled by He Shikai, and his henchmen also stepped down after he died, and now it is a mess, and someone who can take over that place is needed, where is Aiqing willing to go? ”

Gao Changgong thought about it and felt that Gao Wei's proposal was very good, the Beida Battalion was one of the five major battalions guarding Yecheng, with no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Beida Battalion was often transferred to the border pass, which belonged to one of the new forces of the border army, so thinking about it, it was still very good. Although He Shikai was in charge of the Beida Camp before, which made the atmosphere of the Beida Camp chaotic and full of poisons, Gao Changgong was very confident in his training methods, and he felt that he definitely had the ability to train this messy second-rate concentration camp to combat effectiveness within half a year.

Besides, he has been away from the battlefield for several years, and the soldiers who fought under him in the past have been transferred by other generals, and there are not a few left, if you directly parachute into a unit, then the people may not listen to your command, rather than bring a group of soldiers who are very unfamiliar with him and have no sense of identity, it is better to start from scratch.

Thinking about it this way, Gao Changgong has already accepted it, is it a ......

"Obey."

Gao Wei laughed and said: "Okay, from today on, you will be the chief general of the Beida Battalion, leading the post of general, from now on, go to the Beida Battalion to take up your post." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they felt incredible about Gao Wei's decision, indeed, Gao Changgong had become a Shangshu Order because of his military exploits before, but Gao Changgong's Shangshu Order was just an ornament, a fictitious position, and did not have much important real power. But the general is different, not only has the power to mobilize troops and horses, but also can remove the change of defense in other states and counties, although the grade is not as good as Shang Shuling, but it is a big real shortage! In addition, in the old Gao family, it is common for the brother to kill the nephew and usurp the throne, so he is always careful to be careful about the prince of the clan leading the troops, which is why Gao Changgong will be put on hold for a few years, so it is absolutely unreasonable for Gao Wei to dare to hand over the position of general to Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong paused for a moment, hesitating whether to answer or not, and when he looked up, he saw that Gao Wei even saw that the corners of Gao Wei's eyes between his eyebrows were full of joy, full of trust, and he couldn't help but feel slightly sour in his heart, and bowed deeply and said, "Minister...... Compliance. ”

Gao Wei was overjoyed, and after a few words of encouragement, he began the following topic, "Right Minister, how much money is left in the treasury?" ”

Zhao Yan reported deeply: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, the minister counted and found that there were less than five million guan left in the treasury, and less than two million guan could be used after removing the needs of the imperial court......

Cushman & Wakefield was surprised: "How can this be? He was indeed shocked, could it be that the situation in Northern Qi was already so unbearable?

Zhao Yanshen arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" This year, there is a big flood in the two Huai, the harvest is not good, and there is a dragon in Hebei to turn over, and the people have lost countless money, plus, well, ......, plus the emperor's edict to repair the eight palaces of Jinyang is very expensive, and there is indeed not much money in the treasury......"

He subconsciously glanced at Gao Rui and said, "The minister has already planned to use this money to help the victims, so there is indeed no money to pay Zuo Xiang......"

Sighing deeply, Zhao Yanshen had tried his best, but it was difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, and he couldn't satisfy all parties no matter what. "Let's try to make amends......" he thought to himself.

"Why don't you ...... it, how about a tax increase?" A king carefully proposed, "Levy more taxes from the people of Gyeonggi to solve the current crisis......

"No way!" Zhao Yanshen and Gao Rui scolded angrily at the same time, their sharp eyes almost poking him into more than a dozen holes.

Zhao Yan said angrily: "What kind of idea is this! The tax has already been levied once this year, and if it is levied again, won't it cause public resentment to boil? This is to shake the foundation of the country! The tax of Daqi is already the heaviest of the three dynasties, if you want to increase the tax, aren't you afraid that the people will leave their hometowns one after another to join the Southern Chen and Northern Zhou? ”

The sect king had a sneering face, but he didn't dare to confront Zhao Yanshen, so he had to sit down in a negative mood.

Gao Rui stood up and said, "There are still thousands of dumps of fertile land in the minister's family, and you can sell some of them first to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court." ”

Gao Wei nodded secretly, thinking: "Regardless of whether Gao Rui is too pedantic or not, this loyalty to Daqi is indeed rare." ”

So he smiled and said: "Uncle Huang rest assured, I already have a countermeasure...... so he said to Zhao Yanshen: "Pass on my order, from today onwards, the eight halls of Jinyang will be stopped immediately, and all the gold and silver treasures transported to Jinyang will be transported back to the national treasury, and from now on, the eight halls of Jinyang shall not be built again!" In addition, the local counties and counties were ordered to immediately do a good job in the resettlement of the victims, during which the localities should pay for the money and grain first, and more grain would arrive later, as for the military expenses urged by the left minister...... I'll figure it out! ”

How could Cushman forget that he still had a lot of money bags crouching in prison?
