Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 154 Belonging to the Forbidden Army
Gao Cheng ignited the note, emitting a yellow flame, and a wisp of acrid smoke rose up.

"Leave the matter to Ah Hui."

Gao Huan confessed.

"The child should share the worries of the father and the king."

Gao Cheng, who is in charge of Henan's military and political affairs, is duty-bound.

Gao Huan changed the subject again and asked:
"With Ah Hui in Luoyang, letting Bodhisattva (Lou Zhao) command the imperial army is too condescending. As my father prefers your uncle to be the governor of Jizhou, what does Ah Hui think?"

Gao Cheng's first reaction was that He Liuhun was determined to transfer his uncle, who took care of his family, away.

But after thinking about it, I now completely control the situation in Luoyang and the surrounding area, and letting Lou Zhao stay in Luoyang is really a waste of talent.

With Wei Jing leaving Hebei, the original pattern was broken, there must be a trustworthy person to take over as governor of Jizhou, and to stabilize the Gao family together with Duan Rong, the governor of Xiangzhou who guarded Yecheng, and She Digan, the governor of Dingzhou who guarded Zhongshan. rule in Hebei.

Uncle Duan Rong, Uncle She Digan, and Uncle Lou Zhao are actually the three fathers who live in Hebei.

From the selection of the governors of the three states, we can also know the importance of the Xiang, Ji, and Ding states to Hebei and to the Gao family.

"Who does the father prefer to lead the imperial army?"

Gao Cheng didn't rush to answer Gao Huan's question, but asked what he cared most about.

Gao Huan asked back:
"Is there anyone for Ah Hui?"

Gao Cheng cried bitterly:
"Father, since Wang Sizheng left the town of Hengnong, the boy couldn't even find a suitable candidate to succeed him as the trusted governor, so he had to let Gao Jishi drop the military affairs and take over as the commander.

"More than that, the General Haier's Mansion also lacks useful staff, and it is at a loss."

Gao Huan laughed loudly:

"The matter of Hou Yuan can be explained clearly in a letter. Ah Hui wants to go to Jinyang, so there is no conspiracy!"

Gao Cheng laughed and said:
"My father's eyes are as bright as a torch, and even a little thought of a child can't escape my father's eyes."

Gao Huan was full of pride, and asked again:

"Have you thought about who you want?"

Gao Cheng raised a caution, he said sadly:

"My boy and the generals of the Jinyang Ministry have never met before, so there is no one I like, and I ask my father to choose for me."

With Xiao Gaowang's cautiousness, he always felt that He Liuhun's question just now was digging a hole to test himself. Once he blurted out his favorite candidate, it proved that he was usually observing and contacting the generals of Jinyang.

But Gao Huan behaved the same, it seemed that Gao Cheng was overwhelmed.

"Looking at what Ah Hui used before, he is also able to recognize people. You stay in Jinyang for a few more days to see if there is a suitable candidate."

"The child will obey the father's orders."

Gao Cheng responded with a salute.

However, Gao Huan no longer discussed with him the candidates for the imperial army, and only asked him to go back to Bohai Palace to visit his mother, Lou Zhaojun, and to visit his new born brother Gao Yan.

Such a move made Gao Cheng suspect a little, and he resigned as he said.

Back at Bohai Palace, Gao Cheng greeted Lou Zhaojun. He obviously felt that Lou Zhaojun was not as enthusiastic as before, at least he would no longer hold him in his arms and rub him, crying to express his change.

On the one hand, it is natural that Gao Cheng is indeed a young adult, so he should avoid suspicion.

On the other hand, Gao Yan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, took away part of the mother's love.

Lou Zhaojun loves every son, except Gao Yang and Gao Huan's eighth son, Gao Hao.

Gao Yang was naturally ugly and had serious skin diseases, which displeased Lou Zhaojun.

The reason why Gao Yu, who is both talented and beautiful, is hated is because of the twins. In order to give birth to him, Lou Zhaojun almost died of dystocia.

Holding Gao Yan in his arms, Gao Cheng lifted Lou Zhaojun's swaddling clothes while he was not paying attention, and flicked Gao Yan's little pepper with his fingers.

He was having fun, but Lou Zhaojun noticed his action, spat and kicked Gao Cheng out.

Gao Cheng resigned from Lou Zhaojun, and seeing that it was getting late, he went to look for Chen Yuankang.

"Yuan Kang has been waiting for the son for a long time."

Standing on the stone steps, Chen Yuankang laughed loudly.

Gao Cheng smiled and said:

"Cheng came late on purpose, just to let Chang You experience Cheng's lovesickness in Luoyang."

"Yuan Kang misses his son day and night."

The two entered the door hand in hand, and Chen Yuankang set up wine and food.

There is no singing and dancing for fun, and there are no servants to serve, just drinking at the table with Gao Cheng.

During the dinner, Gao Cheng told him about his lack of capable manpower, please ask:
"Changyou has been in Jinyang for a long time, and he should make friends in Cheng. Please also ask Changyou to visit the virtuous on my behalf."

Of course, Chen Yuankang would not refuse Gao Cheng's request.

The two chatted for a long time, only talking about the interesting things they had seen and heard. During the chat and laughing, Gao Cheng put away his fingers that were stained with wine, and after being confirmed by Chen Yuankang's eyes, he took the sleeve robe and wiped off the two names on the table. .

Quietly, he had already told Chen Yuankang the candidate he wanted.

In the next few days, after Gao Cheng sent the letter back to Hou Yuan, he kept teasing his two younger brothers, Gao Wei and Gao Yan, at home.

Gao Huan had clearly allowed him to look for talents among Jinyang's generals and staff, but Gao Cheng stayed at home until Chen Yuankang brought Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye to the Bohai Palace to meet.

"Finally lived up to the entrustment of the son."

As soon as they met, Chen Yuankang smiled happily.

After all, introduce the two of them for Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng greeted the two of them, and he could clearly feel Dugu Yongye's excitement.

It is neither Xindu Yuancong nor Xianbei of the six towns. A Han man with the name of Xianbei mixed among the 20 Bingzhou Hu. He is an ordinary governor, so it is very difficult to get ahead.

Gao Cheng was like a ladder to the sky in front of him, he couldn't help being excited.

On the other hand, Wang Shiliang's expression was much calmer. The cautious character he had cultivated since his parents died early prevented him from losing his composure in front of Gao Cheng.

Chen Yuankang didn't stay long, and he had to go back to Xiangguo's mansion to handle official business. In the past few days, he was making friends and wasting a lot of official business.

He took great pains to get to know Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye successively without being suspected by others.

He also deliberately praised their talents after talking with them.

Not only that, after the two of them, Chen Yuankang still made friends with the virtuous, until today he brought the two of them to meet Gao Cheng.

Only Gao Cheng, Wang Shiliang, and Dugu Yongye were left in the wing room.

Gao Cheng and the two of them have good opinions from the military affairs to the administrative gains and losses since the founding of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties.

Especially Wang Shiliang, as a prisoner, he was able to become Hedouling Yili's grandson-in-law and Gao Huan's staff successively, which has his own extraordinary features.

And Dugu Yongye is not a rough man, as a governor, he is not only proficient in martial arts, but also good at singing and dancing, calculating, and can write.

Among the illiterate generals in Jinyang, he is unique.

Gao Cheng has no objection to illiterates. Aren't the two brothers Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi whom he loves just a pair of illiterates?

Even his uncle She Digan, who was born in a wealthy family, couldn't even write his own name, and it didn't prevent him from becoming a general and dismounting to rule the people.

But more knowledge, after all, is good.

After talking for a long time, Gao Cheng's admiration for the two was beyond words, and he felt that he hated seeing each other later.

When the light is dim, it is reflected that the sky is dark.

Gao Cheng held the hands of Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye tightly, one left and one right, and said excitedly:

"Both of you are talented scholars of the country. If you don't give up, Cheng is willing to ask your father for it, so that the two gentlemen will return to Luo with Cheng."

The two of them were able to step into the door of the Bohai Palace today, naturally they had long expected in their hearts, and they would never refuse Gao Cheng's solicitation.

Otherwise, chat with him all afternoon, but you will be too busy to panic.

"The great general will never give up, but the humble officer is willing to follow."

Dugu Yongye said excitedly.

Wang Shiliang said euphemistically:
"If the prime minister agrees, I would like to let the prince drive me away."

This is also what it should be.

Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye have different identities. Dugu Yongye is the military commander, while Wang Shiliang is Gao Huan's staff.

Nominally speaking, Dugu Yongye is a public official, while Wang Shiliang is a private minister. Although Gao Huan and Gao Cheng are father and son, Wang Shiliang still needs to seek Gao Huan's consent if he wants to switch to Gao Cheng.

Back then when Gao Cheng asked for Zhao Yanshen, good brother Sima Xiao could not make up his own mind, and it was not many years since he was hanged and beaten by Sima Ziru.

Gao Cheng first smiled at Dugu Yongye:
"The governor is as clear as a fish in water."

Then he pulled his hand out of Dugu Yongye's palm very naturally.

His hands were stained with sweat from the palms of Dugu Yongye.

He stroked the back of Wang Shiliang's hand and comforted him:
"Junming (Wang Shiliang's character) don't worry, Cheng's visit to the virtuous in Jinyang naturally has his father's permission."

Only then did Wang Shiliang express his willingness to accept Gao Cheng's recruitment.

Gao Cheng sent the two of them out of the mansion, and explained:

"Time is running out. Please go back and clean up the two gentlemen. Tomorrow, you will bring your family and go south with Cheng."

The two took the lead.

Gao Cheng sent Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye away, and went straight to report to Gao Huan.

"Wang Shiliang is indeed a cautious person. Where did Ah Hui find this Dugu Yongye?"

After Gao Huan heard about it, he was puzzled.

Gao Cheng, of course, shirked it on Chen Yuankang, saying that Chen Yuankang had recommended him.

Gao Huan was displeased when he heard the words, and reprimanded:

"As a father, let you do it yourself, how can you shirk it to others!"

Gao Cheng made no excuses, and repeatedly pleaded guilty.

Gao Huan didn't study it carefully, and said:
"Since both you and Zhang You think that these two people can use it, you can use it freely."

After that, he brought up the matter of the leading general who commanded the forbidden army:
"I've been thinking about it for my father for a long time. Since you hold the military power in Gyeonggi, you might as well choose the imperial army as well. Remember, loyalty should be the first choice for the specific leader."

"Father taught, children dare not forget."

Gao Cheng said respectfully, with a flash of pride in his heart: Sure enough, he didn't guess wrong.

One day, Gao Cheng bid farewell to his parents, and the group set off southward with Wang Shiliang and Dugu Yongye's family members.

In Xiangguo Mansion, Gao Huan and Sima Ziru played chess in leisure time.

Since reading Xie An's story, Gao Huan has become more and more fond of talking about big things while playing chess, this kind of calm and breezy feeling.

But Gao Huan's level is just like that, but it's hard for Sima Ziru to pretend to be a stinky chess basket.

"I handed over the Forbidden Army to Ah Hui."

After a while, Gao Huan said suddenly.

"The lower officials have also heard that the son has lived in seclusion in the mansion these days, and has never had contact with anyone except Chen Yuankang."

Sima Zi is like a loser, deliberately showing his flaws in the chess game.

Gao Huan laughed and said:

"Ah Hui is smart, I guessed that I was going to test him when I was lonely, and I have been pretending to be like an orphan these days."

After all, one piece fell, and Simazi was eaten like several chess pieces.

Sima Zi was scratching his head at the chess board, as if wanting to make amends, dropped a piece, and replied:

"Why did the king say that?"

Gao Huan pressed a chess piece in a key position, and proudly said:
"Because he is my son, He Liuhun!"
