Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 115 Recruiting Magi
When Gao Cheng and Er Zhu Ying'e were defending the orthodoxy of the Wei Dynasty and severely punishing treacherous traitors, Shi Cuixian, the governor's governor, brought a middle-aged scribe to the outside of the mansion to wait for the transmission.

After receiving the notice, Gao Cheng asked someone to set up Cui Xian's screen in the guest room, and then asked the receptionist to greet him.

After waiting in the wing room for a while, Cui Xian arrived with the middle-aged scribes.

"Which talent did Ji Lun bring to me?"

Gao Cheng's hearty laughter drew Cui Xian's attention away from the screen.

With a hint of pride, Cui Xian introduced the middle-aged scribe to Gao Cheng:

"Governor, this is Hejian Xing Shao, Xing Zicai."

Gao Cheng jumped up against the case and said in surprise:

"Mr. is Xing Zicai, who is also known as the three talents of the Northland along with Wen Zisheng and Wei Shou! I asked Ji Lun for a job, and Ji Lun was the first to recommend me, Mr."

Cui Xian was a little surprised. The first person to recommend him that day was Cui Ang, but when he saw Xing Shao's grateful eyes, he instantly understood Gao Cheng's intentions:

'My son loves me. '

Glancing at Cui Xian gratefully, Xing Shao didn't dare to be proud of his past talents, he said humbly:

"Don't dare to be praised by the prince. Shao is just a mediocre person who is buried in his studies. The prince wrote filial piety in the country, governed the country in Anbang, and has the talent for music. Shao Cai has admired it for a long time. When I saw it today, I only hated the world's ignorance. True face, otherwise, how could the name of Xiaoyi and Mei Gaolang be overshadowed by the talents of the prince."

Gao Cheng's first impression of Xing Shao was surprisingly good, and his words almost expressed his heart: it was because of his outstanding meritorious service that he covered up the name of filial piety.

As for Mei Gaolang, although the two short-lived brothers Mei Sunlang and Mei Zhoulang at the end of the Han Dynasty were in trouble, it was harmless, and Xiao Gaowang, who felt that his longevity would make Xiao Yan ashamed, was not a narrow-minded person.

If you listen to one side, you will be dark, but if you listen to both, you will be clear. Gao Cheng took the initiative to ask Xing Shao about his own gains and losses in politics.

I thought I would listen to him talk about Juntian first, but I didn’t want Xing Shao to talk to him about the extermination of Buddha with great interest:
"The dynasty believed in Buddhism and expended the resources of the people to build temples. The son was not afraid of criticism and punished the demons to support the army and the people. It was very satisfying. Shao was in the countryside. Every time he heard about this, he couldn't help being excited."

"My father and son have been loyal and good for two generations. They have not spared their lives for the country and the people. Why are they afraid of criticism? The only thing they want is the prosperity of the Great Wei."

Although it was unexpected, it was also a proud event in his life. Gao Cheng waved his hands and said something, then he was puzzled and said:

"From what you said today, sir, it seems that you don't believe in Buddha. Could it be that you are a son who advocates Taoism?"

Xing Shao shook his head and said:

"Shao doesn't believe in Buddhism or Taoism, especially he doesn't like monks and Taoists to use things about gods and Buddhas to confuse people."

He was actually an atheist, which made Gao Cheng feel more fond of him.

The two then discussed about gods and Buddhas. Xing Shao elaborated to Gao Cheng his views on the theory of immortality advocated by Buddhism since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Buddhism believes that the human body may perish, but the soul can last forever.

Xing Shao believes that the relationship between body and spirit should be the candle and the candle flame. When the candle is burned out, the candle flame will also be extinguished. Once the human body dies, the soul will also disappear.

As a time traveler, Gao Cheng disagreed with this point of view, but he did not express his opinion. Instead, he changed the topic and continued to discuss the gains and losses of his administration with Xing Shao, and Cui Xian also joined the conversation.

Sometimes in order to win over his staff, Gao Cheng often speaks far away, but when it comes to some sensitive issues, he is very cautious.

Even if he, as a time traveler, believed in death, he would not agree with it.

It will even attack the view that the soul cannot last forever and will disappear with the body.

Once a person dies, the descendants of future generations may indulge themselves because of this, regardless of the flood after death.

This is what Xiao Gao Wang didn't want to see. He didn't think about the family business for thousands of years, but the time it lasted was too short, and it was difficult to control the historical materials of later generations.

While talking freely about the gains and losses of politics, Gao Cheng made up his mind that Xing Shao's theory of the death of gods must be suppressed.

Of course, suppressing Xing Shao's point of view does not conflict with reusing Xing Shao.

After another sentence of fish and water, Gao Cheng followed Cui Siam's previous suggestion and brought Xing Shao into the shogunate, ordering him to be in charge of confidential documents.

It is a pity that I can recite 80 words of memory in just five days. It is a pity not to be a humanoid Baidu beside Xiao Gaowang.

When Cui Xian and Xing Shao said goodbye, Gao Cheng pointed to the screen and said to Xing Shao:
"I love Cui Changshi, and I put his name at the top of the list. On that day, Cui Changshi recommended Xing Jiyao to me, and I also included Jiji's name in it. , lest Cui Changshi be hated by others."

These words were said to Xing Shao, but even more to Cui Xian.

Cui Xian finally understands why Gao Cheng always puts away the screen every time he arrives with his colleagues, and his love for him is even more touched, and his heart can no longer accommodate others.

As for Gao Huan who cried with Jinyang while holding hands with him?He's a good guy, but Young Gao Wang is more for me.

Don't communicate anymore, I'm afraid the son will misunderstand.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Cui Xian's work enthusiasm became more and more high. Within a few days, he brought another middle-aged scribe to the door.

Gao Cheng had already guessed that among the three recommended by Cui Xian, Cui Ang and Xing Shao entered the shogunate successively, and the scribe in front of him must be the last one, Wen Zisheng.

Wen Zisheng is 40 years old, two years older than 38-year-old Xing Shao, and will be the oldest member of Gao Cheng's staff.

As always, he expressed his admiration, and said that Cui Xian recommended Wen Zisheng for him first.

But this summoning did not have the sense of surprise when meeting Xing Shao. Gao Cheng talked with him about government affairs, and some of Wen Zisheng's opinions on how to deal with it did not satisfy Gao Cheng.

And when he talked about literature with Gao Cheng enthusiastically, Xiao Gao Wang, who is not good at reading, also fell asleep when he heard it.

But it is indeed an excellent pen. Gao Cheng asked him to write an article on the theme of his deeds of 13 people defeating Chen Qingzhi's 1 people when he went to the battlefield at the beginning of 3 years old.

Wen Zisheng splashed ink, and a parallel essay entitled "Jingzhou Po Chen Qingzhi" was conceived.

The whole article is rich in rhetoric, neat in antithesis, and although there are many allusions, it is not obscure.

Even Gao Cheng, who doesn't have much appreciation for ancient prose, couldn't put it down after reading it through.

Such a good article should be preserved and let junior and high school students of later generations recite the full text.

Gao Cheng hurriedly sent someone to send the parallel prose to Zhang Shiqi, who would transcribe it.

Wen Zisheng, a native of Jiyin, has a reputation for talent. He is one of the three talents in the north along with Wei Shou of Weijun and Xing Shao of Hejian. , Ping Sanjing, fascinated by it, is the book "Records of Three Thorns Breaking Chen Qingzhi". As soon as this article was published, Luoyang paper was expensive, and scholars all over the world were amazed, and it was praised as a wonderful article in the world. '

As a rigorous recorder of historical materials, Zhang Shiqi prepared the manuscript as soon as he got the parallel essay.

The first is to establish Wen Zisheng's character image that he is not afraid of the powerful.Then the time for writing the article was advanced, and it was changed to Wen Zisheng who wrote it spontaneously after hearing that Gao Cheng had pacified Sanjing.The last is to evaluate the article on behalf of the world.

Zhang Shiqi wrote the manuscript, read it twice, and then sent it to Gao Cheng for review.

As for the Bohai Prince's Mansion, Gao Cheng did not let Wen Zisheng go in a hurry, but kept him and Cui Xian in the mansion for dinner.

During the dinner, Gao Cheng specially asked the cook to give Wen Zisheng more weight.

In the previous life, the original owner starved you to death in prison, but in this life, I, Gao Cheng, fed you enough to pay off the debt on behalf of the original owner.

While eating, Zhang Shiqi came to the door with the manuscript and asked Gao Cheng to review it.

Gao Cheng was very satisfied after reading it, and he encouraged:

"It should be the same in the future, remember to record it as it is."

He also ordered the cook to add another meal for Zhang Shiqi.

It's not true that anyone would use captives as cooks, right? King Gao is looking for cooks.

The newly recruited cook was very skilled, and the beef was delicious. After Gao Cheng sent away Cui Xian, Wen Zisheng, and Zhang Shiqi, he ordered the cook to make nine servings of beef.

Let the servants send them to Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Aocao, Gao Jishi, Yaoxiong, Murong Shaozong, Wang Sizheng, Cui Jishu, and Xing Shao respectively.

When I specifically asked the servant to deliver the meal, I said the last sentence:
The son had a meal today, and he was deeply impressed by the deliciousness of the meat, so he specially ordered the dining room to prepare a portion for the general (Mr.). '

Gao Cheng just gave an instruction, and let the back kitchen break his leg. The steward in charge of the dining room couldn't help but feel troubled: Recently, the cattle have committed suicide a little too much.

Gao Cheng, who lives in Luoyang, has been very leisurely recently, and he left the cumbersome government affairs of Shangshu Province to his left and right servants, Sima Ziru and Li Yuanzhong.

Cui Xian and Cui Jishu presided over the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and Cui Ang, Xing Shao, and Wen Zisheng assisted.

As for the training of the army, many generals presided over it, among which the low-level Xianbei soldiers from Wuchuan were the most active.

After the death of He Bayue, an ambitious man from the Wuchuan wealthy family, another Yu Wentai, who was also a descendant of the Wuchuan wealthy clan, openly rebelled against the imperial court, which made the four thousand Wuchuan Xianbei soldiers whose sense of honor was rebuilt by Gao Cheng deeply ashamed.

And the team of archers handed over to Hu Luguang has also formed a large scale. There are 6000 people in the left and right sides of the Shenarm Battalion, which is far from the ten thousand arrows in Gao Cheng's mind. is almost the limit.

Because the subordinates were too good, Gao Cheng was able to relax, and most of his daily work was to listen to the intelligence sent back by the spies.

It was not only Gao Cheng who was leisurely, but also Gao Longzhi who was ordered to send Liu Lisheng as an envoy.

Liu Lisheng readily agreed to Gao Huan's proposal that the two sides be relatives of each other, that Gao Huan's second son Gao Yang marry Liu Lisheng's daughter, and his second daughter marry Liu Lisheng's eldest son.

He even couldn't wait to let the prince abolish his wife to make room for Gao Huan's daughter.

The daughter of the dignified Kanto master is not meant to be a concubine.

Gao Longzhi's task was easily completed, and he was entertained by Liu Lisheng all day long, so he gained a lot of weight.

Going north with him, Zhao Yanshen, who presided over the contact with Liu Lisheng's subordinates, was not as leisurely as Gao Long.

Since the establishment of the Listening and Watching Division, the number of manpower has continued to expand, but compared to the tasks it undertakes, it is still stretched.

He had to monitor the interior and lurk in enemy territory to inquire about news. Therefore, Gao Cheng never cared about Liu Lisheng's power. After Er Zhuzhao's death, all the spies he sent out went to Kansai and Nanliang. .

Generally speaking, Liu Lisheng's power composition is blank.

This is also the reason why Gao Cheng asked Zhao Yanshen to go north in person. He believed that Zhao Yanshen's ability and prudent character were the best person to handle this matter.

The first thing Zhao Yanshen did when he came to Hedong Mountain was to inquire about Liu Lisheng's power composition.

It has been nine years since Liu Lisheng proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven in 525, appointed hundreds of officials, and established the country.

Although this small court in the mountain area is a grass-roots team, it also has more than [-] staff members.

The most prominent ones are the seven Caotou kings.

Liu Lisheng had four sons in total. Except for the eldest son who was established as the prince, the other three were canonized as the king of the South Sea, the king of the North Sea, and the king of the West Sea.

In addition, there are four real power faction generals named the king of the north, the king of the east, the king of the south, and the king of the west.

Zhao Yan had a deep understanding of the composition of Liu Lisheng's power, and he also set his sights on the four generals who were crowned kings.

Through secret visits, Zhao Yanshen knew that the northern king had been punished by Liu Lisheng, so he began to try to contact him. After some contact while holding the pipa half-hidden, the two finally got on the line.

Instigated against Liu Lisheng's generals, and the work of making them fight back finally made preliminary progress.

Gao Longzhi took the oath of alliance with Liu Lisheng on behalf of He Liuhun from Xianbei, and he didn't know whether Liu Lisheng had stayed in the mountains for a long time and had little contact with the outside world.

Even He Liuhun from Xianbei dared to accept the oath of alliance. Er Zhuzhao, the leader of the first party who made an oath with him, was strangled to death in Qiongshan.He Bayue, the leader of the second party who swore an oath with him, was just killed by him.

Perhaps it was because Liu Lisheng felt that he was deeply blessed, and another white horse died unexpectedly.

After taking the oath on behalf of Gao Longzhi, he said with a smile:
"From now on, Gao, Liu, and Tong are one family."

Liu Lisheng was very happy when he heard the words, and rewarded Gao Longzhi with a lot of property.

The two families agreed on a marriage, but the specific date of the marriage has to wait for Gao Huan to return to his teacher Jinyang before making a decision.

Gao Longzhi returned to Luoyang with a fruitful mission, leaving Zhao Yanshen to stay in the Hedong Mountains in the name of an envoy.

In order to avoid Liu Lisheng's suspicion, Gao Longzhi, at Zhao Yanshen's suggestion, invited Liu Lisheng to send envoys to go south with him and stay in Luoyang.

With Gao Cheng in Luoyang, maybe it won't be long before Liu Lisheng's emissary will clamor to be loyal to the Gao family for generations.

There is no way, the charismatic personality is like this, please understand.

And Gao Huan, a Han from far away in Hebei, also continued to meet well-known figures from the top gentry in Hebei, such as the Cui family of Boling, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Gao family of Bohai, in Yecheng.

Father and son of the Gao family had never read any books, and celebrities in Hebei would never talk about literature when they met Gao Huan like Wen Zisheng visited Gao Cheng.

When these people reminisce about the glorious past, they will also bring their juniors by their side, hoping to catch Gao Huan's eyes.

Gao Huan kept all these young people.

You can't just accept the talented and learned, and drive away the mediocre and incompetent on the spot. Such a face-to-face behavior runs counter to Gao Huan's purpose of winning people's hearts.

Gao Huan had already made up his mind to take all these people with him first, and investigate carefully. Those who are capable will stay in Jinyang, and those who are not capable will be sent to Luoyang to let Gao Cheng chase them away.

Anyway, he, He Liuhun, is definitely not the villain.

After staying in Yecheng for two months and having basically communicated with the gentry from all states in Hebei, Gao Huan returned to Jinyang as a teacher.
