Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 221 Planning to Recruit
He is not the only one who holds the same opinion as Feng Zihui, and Zhang Zhuan is one of them.

There are three important mansions in Jinyang, Xiangguo Mansion (Great Prime Minister's Mansion), Xingtai Mansion, and Zhongwai Mansion.

Corresponding to the triple identities of Gao Huan, Xiangguo (Great Prime Minister), Daxingtai, and Governor of Chinese and foreign military affairs.

Zhonglang Zhang Zhuan, who is engaged in the Chinese and foreign governments, is one of the staff of the three Jinyang governments.

Zhang Zuan, courtesy name Huizuan, was born in Pingcheng (Shanxi Datong), the former capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was originally under the command of Er Zhurong.

During Er Zhuzhao's close relationship with Gao Huan, Zhang Zuan made several missions, so he got acquainted with Gao Huan.

As mentioned earlier, after Er Zhuzhao returned to Xiurong, all of his staff except Zhang Liang had contacted Gao in private.

The monkeys scattered when the tree fell, and Gao Huan was very displeased with this group of monkeys, and almost all of them were left idle.

Zhang Zhuan, who is the core staff under Er Zhuzhao's command, is not included.

The reason is simple, he voted for Gao Huan before the Battle of Han Ling.

After the Battle of Guang'a, Er Zhuzhao withdrew his troops and left Zhang Zuan to assist Liu Dan, the governor of Xiangzhou, in defending Yecheng.

Gao Huan temporarily withdrew from Hebei while taking advantage of the Erzhu clan's influence, besieged Yecheng for several months, and dug tunnels to sink the city wall. Zhang Zhuan then joined the Gao clan's camp and served as the prime minister's mansion to participate in the military.

Gao Huan's position as prime minister during this period was conferred by Yuen Long, which was established in Xindu.

Zhang Zuan is good at flattering and adapting, and this kind of character also made him quickly accepted by Gao Huan and his close friends. After Gao Huan entered Luoyang, Zhang Zui was appointed as Xingtai doctor.

When Gao Huan conquered Liu Lisheng, he used Gao Chen to guard Jinyang, and left Zhang Zhuan as Xingtai Youcheng to assist Gao Chen.

Although Gao Chen died due to filth, Zhang Zhuan was promoted to the prime minister's mansion because of his meritorious service. Gongcao joined the army. One point is very clear.

Later, as the administrative power gradually shifted from Jinyang to Luoyang, Zhang Zhuan was also transferred from the Xiangguo Mansion (the Prime Minister's Mansion) to the Zhongwai Mansion, where he assumed the post of Zhonglang.

Because Gao Cheng's shogunate had Cui Xian, Cui Ang, Cui Jishu and Cui Qilie, Gao Huan's shogunate also had Zhang Liang and Zhang Zuan, two former Er Zhuzhao's core staff and called them two.

Although Er Zhuzhao was defeated, Er Zhang couldn't be blamed for his incompetence. As a cousin, Murong Shaozong tried his best to persuade that wise man?

But in the eyes of the people at the time, the five letters, three Cui and two Zhang, joined the Gao family after Jianyi, and gained valuable staff, but the favor they received was not as good as Chen.

The so-called Chen refers to Chen Yuankang.

Gao Huan did not hesitate to conscript Chen Yuankang from the Gaocheng shogunate, and every time Gao Cheng went to Jinyang, he had to stay overnight in Yuankang's mansion. The father and son of the Gao family were so trusting and loving that they were the only ones among all the staff.

Zhang Liang, who was side by side with Zhang Zuan, has been highly valued since he went south to Luoyang. Governor.

This makes Zhang Zuo not envious.

Yesterday, a message was delivered quickly that the eldest son Gao Cheng will enter Jinyang today, Gao Huan only arranged a group of civil and military personnel to welcome him, but he himself waited in the Bohai Palace.

This gave Zhang Zhuipin a hint of unusualness.

Even though Gao Cheng's act of returning to power in Jinyang made Gao Huan completely suspicious and entrusted Hebei to support him, but he specially summoned Jinyang civil and military personnel to welcome him and let Gao Cheng get acquainted with everyone, the meaning of which is self-evident.

There are no more than two kinds. One is for temptation, as in the past, but with the matter of ownership, this kind of behavior has no half benefit except to alienate father and son.

As for the second, it is worth mentioning that Gao Huan, who has been lingering in bed all winter, may have an understanding of his body, and it is not a holiday.

Outside the city gate of Jinyang, there was a gathering of civil and military officials. The scholars included Sima Ziru, Gao Gan, Feng Longzhi, Chen Yuankang and others, and the generals were led by Hu Lujin and Peng Le.

As early as when Gao Cheng sent messengers to communicate the itinerary going north, Gao Huan immediately ordered the generals guarding the various states in Shanxi to return to Jinyang to report on their duties.

This is also an important basis for Zhang Zhuan to make a judgment.

The dignitaries gathered, and even Wei Jing, the governor of Nanfen Prefecture who had always been at odds with Gao Cheng, was among them. Seeing his undisguised nervous expression, Zhang Zhuan knew very well that Wei Jing was worried about how Gao Cheng would treat him.

Zhang Zui stood in the middle of the crowd, very inconspicuous, there was no room for him in the first few rows, that was where old people from Jinzhou, Xindu Yuancong and old friend Gao Huan stood.

It was still very early for Gao Cheng's agreed arrival time, but this did not prevent the crowd from crowding the south gate.

Gao Cheng, who was eagerly awaited by all civil and military personnel, was having a happy conversation with Wang Jun, a native of Lingqiu in Daijun (Shanxi Lingqiu), in the carriage.

Wang Jun, styled Luan Song, was Gao Huan's staff member. He was appointed as Prime Minister Mo Cao Xing and joined the army. He was a full-time pen and ink writer and wrote for him.

Resignation also has the advantage of being dismissed. You don't need to wait at the gate of the city with all your old colleagues. Wang Jun learned about Gao Cheng's itinerary from his old friend yesterday, so he made a decisive decision and rushed out of the city to the posthouse where Gao Cheng was staying.

When Wang Jun arrived outside the post house, it was already dark, and the post house was heavily guarded by personal guards, he was not allowed to go in and out, and no one would disturb Gao Cheng's rest because of a convicted and dismissed person like him.

Therefore, Wang Jun could only wait outside the post house overnight. Gao Cheng woke up early in the morning and heard about the incident, and after a hasty wash, he recruited Wang Jun into the post house for questioning.

As Gao Huan's former writer, Wang Jun did not talk about literature and morals with Gao Cheng, but talked about military affairs with him. After a detailed discussion in the posthouse, Gao Cheng admired this scribe who had great strategies and was good at responding to circumstances.

Letting a military counselor to play with words and ink, it can only be said that Gao Huan, who has a sharp eye, rarely sees it wrong.

The more joyful Gao Cheng talked with Wang Junyue, the more satisfied he was with this man's talent. Before setting off, he invited Wang Jun to the car to continue their conversation.

Halfway through the carriage, Gao Cheng finally remembered who this person was. After so many years, some blurred memories became clear again. Isn’t Wang Jun one of the good ministers of Gao Qi who was co-passed by Zhang Liang and others? .

If we follow the historical trajectory, he will be sent by Gao Huan to the Gaoyang Shogunate shortly after he resigns to join the army as a city bureau, and then transferred to the Gaocheng Shogunate as a foreign soldier to join the army.

Taking advantage of Hou Jing's troubles in Nanliang, he followed the army to capture the land of Huainan, and then conquered Yingzhou in Hebei, broke the Wei family and captured his commander, ambushed Rouran and captured his famous king, and pacified the troubles in the northeast.

Now that he knew who it was, Gao Cheng also had some guesses about the reason for his dismissal, perhaps it was because of bribes with property, rather than being dispatched by scribes as he thought before.

After all, when Wang Jun was old, he committed the two capital crimes of illegally transporting prohibited materials and stealing military rations. He escaped death because of his meritorious service, but he also received a hundred lashes and was sent to Jiafang as a slave.

Afterwards, he was released with pardon and reactivated, but he was also restrained in the central government.

Of course, Wang Jun himself did not mention it, and Gao Cheng would not pursue it. Since Gao Huan sent him to serve in the Gaoyang shogunate in history, it can be seen that it was not a principled mistake.

In Gao Cheng's eyes, clean and honest officials are rare, and they should be easy to maintain, but capable bureaucrats, even if they are corrupt, can be forgiven. As long as they don't hurt the people and abuse them, everything is easy to say.

After all, people like Du Bi and Zhang Yao are in the minority.

Zhang Yao is also regarded as Jianyi Yuancong. When he was in Xindu, he was transferred by Gao Huan to the Hangui shogunate as the chief governor of the Chinese army.

Han Gui has a little relationship with Gao Cheng. He is Gao Huan's first love and Han Zhihui's elder brother.

He is also the biological uncle of Gao Cheng's seventh younger brother Gao Huan.

Gao Cheng inspected the matter of cooking salt in Hebei, and found that among the four prefectures of You, Ying, Cang, and Qing, Han Gui, the governor of Yingzhou, made personal gains from it, and almost all of his staff and staff and nearly a hundred people close to him were involved.

After careful investigation, it was found that this group of people was not only seeking profit, but also a nest of corruption, and Zhang Yao was the only one who was innocent.

Gao Cheng saw the relationship between his father Gao Huan and his seventh younger brother Gao Huan, as well as Han Gui's past achievements, he only punished the accessory criminal. As for the main criminal, Gao Cheng sent him to Jinyang as a present and handed him over to Gao Huan for further settlement.

This is also Gao Cheng's helplessness. The Xianbei nobles, including Han Gui, a Xianbei Hun, are counted as one, and they are loyal to their Gao family.

But the style of doing things is mostly open to question.

This kind of corruption is not too common among these people. Even Gao Huan himself thinks that these generals are just working hard and greedy for some money, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

At the same time, he repeatedly asked Gao Cheng to crack down on corruption and only target civil servants, and never involve military generals.

Gao Cheng also agrees with this, after all, for now, the army cannot be chaotic.

But no matter what, Gao Cheng didn't dare to leave Han Gui in Yingzhou again, so that he would have the opportunity to make personal gains from cooking salt.

The matter of Hangu also reminded Gao Cheng at that time, he transferred the governor of Cangzhou to Yingzhou.

Gao Cheng set up a total of 2666 salt stoves in the four prefectures, and Cangzhou has 1484 stoves. The transfer of benefits, non-integrity people like Zhang Yao cannot be appointed.

But Zhang Yao is Xindu Yuancong in name, but he has never held any important positions. Gao Cheng's core staff can be directly assigned to the local governor, but Han Gui's core staff is not qualified.

So Gao Cheng adopted a compromise method, allowing Zhang Yao to take charge of Cangzhou affairs and temporarily take charge of Cangzhou government affairs.

When he took office, Gao Cheng urged him to cooperate with Zhang Dexing, the Cangzhou salt officer, and then let Zhang Yao go.

The reason why Gao Cheng recalled the matter of Zhang Yao is precisely because Zhang Yao was listed with Zhang Liang, Wang Jun and others in the history books.

He also couldn't help but think of Zhang Zuan, Zhao Qi, Xu Yuan, and Wang Hong who were also in this biography.

These four people are now serving under Gao Huan's command, and now that all government affairs have been transferred to Luoyang, it is time to ask for it.

The carriage was bumping, and Wang Jun was still talking, unaware that Gao Cheng had lost his mind.

He thought of another person from Wang Hong, Hexi Shele.

Dongbaitang was assassinated, although Yang Min and Cui Jishu escaped, but Chen Yuankang was not the only one who gave his life to protect the lord. Wang Hong was acting as Gao Cheng's personal bodyguard at the time, and was chopped down by Lan Jing and others because he had no weapons. People were in a hurry to kill Gao Cheng but did not make up the knife, Wang Hong was lucky enough to survive.

Another personal guard, Hexi Shele, died fighting the six thieves.

The two are not without courage. Although Lan Jing is a servant, he is also a son of a general. His father is Lan Qin, a famous general of the Southern Liang Dynasty.

Facing six people with blades in their hands, Hexi Shele and Wang Hong dared to fight empty-handed, especially Hexi Shele, Gao Cheng who cherished his life loved these loyal and brave men the most.
