At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 367
For the next two days, Yang Xuanzong did not attack Hui'an Gate again, probably because he was waiting for the main force of the rebel army led by Yang Xuangan to arrive. After the battle of Hui'an Gate, Gao Bufan moved out of the Yue Palace, Lived in the Gaosheng Inn in Yujifang.

On the third morning, just after Gao Bufan had breakfast, Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong, guards of Yue Wangfu, came to the door. The two were very happy, and when they met, they cheerfully said: "Congratulations to Mr. Gao, congratulations to Mr. Gao."

Gao Bufan vaguely guessed the point, so he asked calmly, "Where does the joy come from?"

Su Dingtai said with a smile: "Your Majesty Gao will know when he sees His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Now let's make a fool of ourselves."

Wei Dazhong was cut off by Qianniuwei on the arm that day, but the injury was not serious, and he could move without hindrance after bandaging, but he still had to wrap it in gauze, so he laughed and joked at this time: "Yes, yes, anyway. This is a great thing, Mr. Gao, please come with us to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Gao Bufan had no choice but to leave the inn with doubts, and accompanied the two to Shangshu Province to meet Yue Wang Yang Tong.

It is said that although the King of Yue, Yang Tong, was ordered to supervise the country, he was not a prince after all, so he did not work in the East Palace, and generally only managed politics in Shangshu Province. What's your idea?So the real decision is made by a group of ministers headed by Minister of Civil Affairs Fan Zigai.

Since Yang Su's death, Yang Guang no longer set up ministers to shoot, so the top minister of Shangshu Province is actually the six ministers, and Duan Wenzhen, minister of the Ministry of War, died when he accompanied the first Eastern Expedition last year, and Yang Xuangan, minister of the Ministry of Rites, is now rebelling. Minister of the Ministry Su Wei was still accompanying him in Liaodong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Wei Wensheng was sent to stay in Chang'an, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was vacant, so now the only person in charge in Luoyang City is Fan Zigai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan's entry into Shangshu Province, he immediately felt a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him. He took a quick glance and found that apart from Yue Wang Yang Yu and Minbu Shangshu Fan Zigai, the civil and military officials who had appeared at the city that day Officials are almost always present.

"I have seen His Highness the King of Yue!" Gao Bufan quickly walked a few steps and bowed in front of the King of Yue, Yang Tong.

The advantage of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was that the etiquette was not so perverted. Except for some grand ceremonial occasions, the ministers did not have to bow down to the emperor, let alone the prince. Everyone talked standing or even sitting down.

When little Yang Tong saw Gao Bufan, he immediately stood up happily and said: "Gao Mujian is here, no courtesy, but a seat!"

Ever since, Gao Bufan arranged to sit on the floor next to the general, and there were tea and fruit products on the table in front of him, and the treatment was very considerate, but sitting cross-legged on the floor made Gao Bufan a little uncomfortable.

Fan Zigai glanced at Gao Bufan who was sitting upright, coughed lightly, and said, "A few days ago, the internal thief Han Shi'e colluded with the rebellious minister Yang Xuanzong, and almost broke through the Hui'an Gate and caused a catastrophe. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yue calmly commanded the soldiers to fight bloody battles. It was only then that the conspiracy of the rebels was successfully thwarted and a solution was resolved."

Yue Wang Yang Yu lowered his head in embarrassment with a blushing face, he commanded calmly, he was almost scared to pee, okay?

At this time, Fan Dashangshu continued without changing his face: "At that time, everyone saw it. Gao Mujian fought the enemy bravely, and his performance was the most heroic. His contribution is indispensable. Although His Royal Highness King Yue is old, he has always been rewarded and punished. He decided to appoint Gao Mujian as Zhuojun General Ying Yanglang, temporarily waits by His Highness King Yue’s side to protect His Highness King Yue’s safety. Of course, this position is only temporary and needs to be written to wait for the emperor’s approval. In addition, to reward General Gao Lang for his bravery, His Highness King Yue rewarded General Gao Lang with gold 300 taels, fifty bolts of silk, fifty bolts of silk, and a pair of four stone bows."

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, and quickly stood up to thank him. At last, old man Fan still had a bit of "conscience", and he was worthy of the life and death that day. Although he didn't have a cold for official positions, gold, silk and cloth were all hard currencies. The benefits.

Of course, the position of General Ying Yanglang in Zhuojun County is quite high, and his rank is at the fifth rank. If he is promoted from the supervisor of the seventh rank to the general of Ying Yang Lang at the fifth rank, it is equivalent to being promoted to four ranks in a row, which is quite an exaggeration. The young generals couldn't help being jealous, but Gao Bufan's performance at Hui'anmen was really amazing that day. Not only did he save the lives of King Yue and Fan Shangshu, but he also saved the entire city of Luoyang.

Fan Zigai coughed lightly, and said in a deep and deep voice: "It was a helpless act for me to order the city gate to be closed that day. I hope that General Gao Lang will not harbor resentment and make persistent efforts!"

Gao Bufan said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Fan's move is just for the sake of the overall situation, how can the lower officials harbor resentment!"

Fan Zigai nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, secretly thought that this kid was on the road, stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Gao Lang will be able to think so, I will feel relieved."

If Gao Bufan died in battle outside the city that day, it would be a one-and-done case, and Fan Zigai would not take it seriously, but Gao Bufan came back alive. Therefore, he did not hesitate to strongly advocate that Gao Bufan should be rewarded heavily in order to mend the relationship between the two parties.

As for Yang Tong, King of Yue, he almost regards Gao Bufan as an idol now, so naturally he is eager to make him a high official, so when Fan Zigai proposed to appoint Gao Bufan as the general of Zhuojun Yingyang Lang, he agreed immediately, and even He felt that this official position was low. In his opinion, it was not an exaggeration to be named General Wuhou of the third rank with his extraordinary ability.

Of course, the king of Yue, Yang Tong, was only in charge of supervising the country by decree, and he only had the right to appoint personnel temporarily. To implement it, he had to approve it from Yang Guang, so Gao Bufan, General Ying Yanglang of Zhuojun County, was only a temporary replacement.

In this way, when Gao Bufan came out from Shangshu Province, he changed from Jujun Shepherd to Zhuojun Yingyang Langjun, but now he has no soldiers and is just a poor commander. His mission is to stay with Yue King Yang Tong Being a bodyguard is an easy job!

"General Gao Lang, I will leave the safety of this king to you from now on!" As soon as he walked out of Shangshu Province, Yang Tong said with a smile, this little boy seemed to be happier than Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Your Majesty... I will definitely do my best to protect His Royal Highness Yue Quan!"

Yang Tong had witnessed Gao Bufan's abilities that day, so he was naturally very happy and at ease to have such a tyrannical master as a bodyguard. As for Su Dingtai and other palace guards, he also wished to get closer to Gao Bufan. Back to Yue Wangfu.

"By the way, can Gao Lang own a house in Luoyang City?" Yang Tong asked suddenly.

Gao Bufan was slightly stunned, shook his head and said: "The last general is not serving in Luoyang, and he has not bought a house."

Yang Tong said with a smile: "No wonder Dingtai said that you are now living in the inn in Yujifang, and it happens that my king has a house in Yujifang, so I will give it to General Gao Lang, and I don't want to stay in the inn!"
