Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 222 Brotherly estrangement
After the car arrived outside Jinyang City, Gao Cheng chatted cordially with the people one by one.

His approachable attitude impressed all the former Erzhu tribes who had little contact with him, such as Hulu Qiangju, Zhang Zhuan and others.

Gao Cheng had been in Luoyang for a long time, and in order to avoid suspicion, he had little contact with Jinyang's civil and military affairs, so Gao Huan specially summoned important officials from Shanxi to greet him.

These people are mainly composed of two groups, namely Xindu Yuancong and Erzhujiang people.

When Gao Cheng made friends with Erzhu's former ministry, he did not forget Xindu Yuancong these old friends.

Needless to say, Gao Gan, Sima Ziru, Feng Longzhi, who worked together in Luoyang.

Imperial General Hu Lujin and Gao Cheng were also old acquaintances, when he and Gao Huan swore to kill Erzhu together, Gao Cheng was by his side.

Because of the brotherhood with Hu Luguang, Gao Cheng accepted the ceremony as his uncle, Hu Lujin even said he did not dare to do so, but under Gao Cheng's insistence, he reluctantly accepted the gift.

For Xue Guyan, Gao Cheng excitedly held his hand, and lamented to everyone that Xue Guyan sacrificed his life as the Savior and stopped He Basheng, so that Dou Tai could carry Gao Huan to Huayin.

Xue Guyan's face was flushed, and it was difficult for him to be excited.

As for those who had old grievances with him, such as Han Gui and Wei Jing, Gao Cheng did not make things difficult.

Of course, the so-called old grievances are just Gao Cheng's unilateral view, at least Han Gui doesn't think so.

After all, Gao Cheng didn't take him to jail in Yingzhou after all.

Although his staff and staff were punished for corruption, Han Gui himself was treated with courtesy, which made Han Gui, who thought he was going to suffer a big fall, very happy.

After all, the precedent of Wei Jing being imprisoned and sent to Luoyang is ahead.

No matter how close he is to Han Gui and the Gao family, he can't compare to Wei Jing.

After being sent back to Jinyang, Han Gui was relieved by Gao Huan. Han Gui had long since lost his grievances, and was sent out to serve as the governor of Taizhou (Yongji, Shanxi).

Gao Cheng also deliberately called Han Gui's nephew Gao Huan to meet him, which made Han Gui feel grateful, and he was still recognized as a relative.

As a person who was imprisoned and sent to Luoyang, Wei Jing suffered the most before Gao Cheng arrived.

Wei Jing knew very well that if Gao Cheng insisted on embarrassing him in public, he would not be able to escape this disaster.

If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame himself for offending Gao Cheng so badly back then, that he woke up too late.

But to Wei Jing's surprise, Gao Cheng was the first to greet him among the civil and military forces in Jinyang, and praised him for his deeds in Nanfen Prefecture.

One yard belongs to one yard. When Weijing was rectified, it was Weijing's tyranny and harm to the people, as well as old grievances.

After letting out a bad breath, Gao Huan negotiated a peace, and Wei Jing broke up his family to compensate the people of Jizhou after the incident. In Gao Cheng's view, the story has been turned.

Perhaps for the sake of his descendants, Wei Jing worked diligently in the governance of Nanfen Prefecture, was honest and honest, and actively implemented various government orders. No matter how picky Gao Cheng was, he couldn't point out his mistakes.

If you do a poor job, you will be punished. If you do a good job, you should be praised. As long as there is no threat to him, Gao Cheng has always been right about things and not people.

Of course, behind Wei Jing's broken family and compensation, it was Gao Huan's search for excuses to bestow property, which gave Wei Jing a clean material foundation.

Today, Gao Cheng has no grievances, and even the praise made Wei Jing completely relieved. At the same time, he understood that it is a good way to show Gao Cheng by being diligent and caring for the people, and he must continue to persist in the future.

Gao Huan summoned a group of civil and military personnel outside the city for Gao Cheng, not to give him prestige, to connect with old friends, to get acquainted with newcomers, this is what Gao Cheng should do.

Gao Cheng spent too much time outside the city gate with Xindu Yuancong reminiscing about the old times and making friends with Erzhu's old tribe. Seeing that it was getting late, he said loudly to the Jinyang civil and military:

"Thank you for your welcome, Cheng will host a banquet at the Bohai Prince's Mansion tonight as a reward for this kindness.

"Cheng is in a hurry to go back to the mansion to pay his respects to his father, he dare not stay for long, so let's say goodbye for now, everyone, please come to the manor tonight to express our friendship with Cheng father and son."

Everyone sent Gao Cheng back to the carriage. Seeing the carriage drifting away, Zhonglang Zhang Zhuan and his friends sighed:

"The son has a great appearance, intelligent nature, and is gentle to others. Being with him is like enjoying the spring breeze. The king has a son like this. Why should the Gao family worry about not being in the world?"

Before the friend could answer, another person took up the conversation:
"The son has the talent to know the heaven and earth, and he has the heart to help the world and the people. The Gao family should be the master of the world."

Zhang Zuan followed the reputation and saw that it was Wang Jun who got off the carriage at some point.

The two belonged to Gao Huan's staff, and they were also fellows from Dai County. They had a very good friendship. Zhang Zui smiled and said:

"Brother Luan Song came one step late, the son has already returned home."

Wang Jun said somewhat proudly:
"Jun went to the posthouse yesterday to ask for an audience, and now he came here in a ride with the son, brother Huizuan, let's go, let's have a few drinks first, I will go to Luoyang in the future, and work with the son of the shogunate, it will be difficult to have a drink together."

Hearing this, Zhang Zuo couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

Fortunately, he was still worried about Wang Jun's resignation at the beginning, but he never thought that he would lose the east corner and take in the Sangyu, so he could get into the car of the son first.

Gao Cheng returned to Bohai Palace, his aunts followed Lou Zhaojun and waited outside the mansion early, and Gao Cheng led a group of brothers to salute respectfully.

Lou Zhaojun lifted Gao Cheng up, said a few words of concern, and only showed a little concern for Gao Yang and Gao Yu, then impatiently put his arms around Gao Yan, who was about to turn four years old, and hugged Gao Yan, who was not yet one year old, in the other. Gao Zhan's face is full of pity.

The third brother Gao Jun, the fourth brother Gao Yan, the fifth brother Gao Wei, and the seventh brother Gao Huan were tightly embraced by Wang Niang, Mu Niang, Yuan Niang, and Han Zhihui respectively.

Seeing how their mother and child are deeply in love, hugging and weeping, Gao Cheng put one arm around Gao Yang, and said softly:

"When you return to Jinyang, don't act stupid again."

Gao Yang's expression changed, but he lost his composure for a moment, and then returned to normal in an instant. He raised his head and said in doubt:
"What are you talking about, brother?"

Gao Cheng said to himself:
"Back then, outside my uncle's mourning hall, my father had a conversation with me. He told me to love my younger brothers. Don't learn from him. I accidentally killed my uncle, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. How do you think I answered?"

Gao Cheng's right hand resting on Gao Yang's shoulder could clearly feel his slight trembling.

"Foreign ignorance, don't know what big brother wants."

"If you hadn't guessed something, how could you act stupid in front of your brothers all day long?"

"Brother wants to kill me?"

"Jinyang Le, you have been smart since you were a child, but you were stupid in this matter alone. If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. The third brother A Jun is only six years old, and A Yan is not even four years old. With my current power, can my father still depose me?"

Gao Yang's body stopped shaking, he looked directly at Gao Cheng, and asked seriously:

"Brother, why did you tell me this today?"

The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a low laugh:
"Maybe it's because of my mother's neglect. I know a little about your past feelings, and I don't want to see you acting stupid in front of others."

"I asked myself to be careful, even in front of my wife, I still look stupid, why can my elder brother be so sure?"

Gao Yang was puzzled by this.

"Perhaps there is a light called wisdom in your eyes."

Gao Cheng made a joke and continued:

"Mother doesn't care much about you, but my father's neglect of you is out of love."

Gao Yang didn't refute. With his intelligence, since Gao Cheng said that Gao Huan had talked with him outside Gao Chen's residence, Gao Yang already knew why Gao Huan alienated him.

Alienation is a kind of protection.

"It's hard being your brother."

Gao Yang laughed.

Gao Cheng shook his head and said:
"It's hard being your elder brother. I have to guard against you, little wolf cub all day long, lest I be bitten by you one day."

"With the big brother's character, I'm afraid I'll be left behind?"

"Nothing else, just in case I have an accident, someone will send you to accompany me."

"Eldest brother also knows that you younger brothers are young. If I accompany eldest brother, the family business will not fall into the hands of outsiders."

"That's why I have guards accompanying me when I go in and out."

"Then I want to wish my eldest brother a hundred years of life."

"I also hope that Jinyang Le can live to 95."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, Gao Yang asked again:

"Why do you hate me so much?"

Gao Cheng withdrew his hand on Gao Yang's shoulder, straightened his robe, and said calmly:

"What I hate is not you, but your identity as the second son. Don't pretend to be a fool anymore. Even if you are a fool, I still have to be careful. Live with Mrs. Liu. I promised my father, I wish you peace and prosperity for the rest of your life, and don't think about it any more."

"Is it true that you can't have a little brotherhood?"

Gao Yang asked suddenly.

"Look, you're thinking wildly again."

Gao Cheng rubbed Gao Yang's head affectionately and replied.

The two brothers talked in a very low voice, and Lou Zhaojun and others only felt that the closeness between them was rare.

"Ah Hui, it's time to go to the mansion to greet your father, he is still waiting."

Lou Zhaojun called out.

Gao Cheng responded, took 13-year-old Gao Yang with one hand, and [-]-year-old Gao Yu with the other, and followed behind Lou Zhaojun.

Gao Huan sat alone in the lobby, and his gray hair spread from his temples to the top of his head in just one year.

The whole winter's headache made him miserable, and his energy was not as good as before.

But with two grandchildren in his arms, he was so happy from ear to ear.

Gao Xiaozhang stretched out his hand to pull out his beard, but Gao Xiaoyu had already pulled off a few.

Gao Huan pretended to be in pain and yelled, making Gao Xiaoyu open his eyes wide and laugh.

There was a commotion outside the hall, Gao Huan straightened his body, his face was solemn, and he didn't see the old child before.

Everyone rushed in, Gao Huan saw Gao Cheng and Gao Yang holding hands, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What is the relationship between the two brothers, as a father, can he not know, not to mention the heart-to-heart conversation with Gao Cheng that day.

Gao Huan also has an eyeliner in Luoyang Bohai Palace, whether it is Gao Cheng's wariness of Gao Yang, or Gao Yang's stupidity, he knows it all.

But he didn't interfere, as long as Gao Cheng could accommodate brother Gao Yang, he would never interfere.

But today when they came to see him, they made an intimate appearance, and Gao Huan couldn't restrain a surge of joy in his heart.

His joy was not all because the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Yang could pretend to be harmonious for him.

It's that although there is a gap between them, they can join hands to play a play for their father.

As people get older, they value family more.

If there is no holiday, Gao Huan does not doubt whether Gao Cheng can fulfill his father's last wish, but only worries about whether he can accommodate his brothers.

　It’s hard work, it will definitely not be finished before 12 o’clock, and I will send you 200 red envelopes on the 12th. As for why it is on the [-]th, it’s because I’m an unlucky guy who filled in the wrong bank card and didn’t get the remuneration in August.

　　Of course, the big talk of 1 has been released, and it must be completed. I will write 2 before twelve o'clock, and write 2000 in the early morning.
