Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 228 Youzhou Qizhou
If it were someone else, knowing that Gao Shen coveted Li Changyi, he might have given him the concubine in order to buy people's hearts.

There is no shortage of such examples in the history books. What a pity that it is just a woman.

But Gao Cheng couldn't accept the practice of using his concubine to win over his subordinates.

The Gao brothers didn't want to mention more, and Gao Cheng also pretended not to know.

As soon as this matter was uncovered, wouldn't it prove that I was waiting for Gao Ji's style of sobering up outside Chen Yuankang's mansion, because I knew Gao Ji's style of complaining after drinking, so I deliberately wooed him.

Besides, although the relationship is not deep, they are brothers after all, otherwise Gao Jishi would not have deliberately concealed this matter for Gao Shen.

Gao Cheng didn't bother to pierce through the window paper either.

As for Gao Shen, as long as he is not placed on the Liang Wei border, or at the junction of the Eastern and Western Weis.

In history, his defection to the enemy was firstly because of Gao Huan's dislike, and secondly because of resentment between his divorced wife and Cui Xian, which aroused Gao Cheng's disgust.

In the area of ​​the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Gao family father and son were offended, and there was no other choice but to defect.

In this time and space, Gao Huan's perception of Gao Shen didn't change much, but Gao Cheng believed in the Gao brothers' attitude, and Gao Shen would not raise troops to rebel in the hinterland no matter what.

The next day, in the early morning, when Gao Cheng asked Gao Huan, he told him that Gao Gan and Gao Shen brothers would be transferred to the local office.

At that time, Gao Cheng was the governor of Gyeonggi, led Gao Aocao, and Gao Jishi went south. Considering that Gao Shen was also serving as the governor of Gwangju in the Jiaodong Peninsula at that time, he was transferred to Jinyang.

Today is different from the past, Gao Clan's foundation is solid, Gao Cheng's faction is densely spread in Henan, among the Gao Clan brothers, Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi have been tamed by him.

With family members as hostages, there is no need to keep senior officials in Jinyang at this time.

Gao Huan didn't hesitate, and agreed on the spot without any other reminders.

He believed that Gao Cheng would take all factors into consideration.

The facts were exactly as Gao Huan expected, Gao Cheng got the consent, and immediately ordered someone to call the two brothers Gao Gan and Gao Shen. Gao Jishi was not recruited, but followed him.

Gao Cheng prepared two destinations for the Gao brothers, one in Youzhou and the other in Qizhou.

Leave it to them to choose.

"I am the eldest brother, so I should choose first."

Gao Gan chuckled at Gao Shen, and said to Gao Cheng sternly:

"I would like to work in Youzhou."

Gao Shen was about to argue, but Gao Cheng had already made a decision:

"Since Ganyong (Gao Gan) went to Youzhou, Zhongmi (Gao Shen) will be handed over the position of governor of Qizhou. Youzhou is not a peaceful place, but Qizhou is in the hinterland. How about taking Yong to guard Youzhou?"

These thousands of family servants have their own origins. When Gao Huan seized power, the Gao brothers had their own way out. Gao Gan abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and worked as a servant in Luoyang and concurrently as Sikong. Gao Aocao selected elites from the family trilogy and joined the army.

Gao Shen led thousands of servants from his family to Guangzhou to take up his post, and this is how he indulged his trilogy and plundered the place.

Regarding Gao Cheng's proposal, Gao Shen had no objection, and Gao Gan did not refuse.

Gao Gan and Gao Shen knew very well that Gao Cheng would never allow Gao Shen to bring this group of people into office again and harm the local area.

In order to stay away from Gao Huan, who hates him, and escape from Jinyang, Gao Shen is willing to make such a replacement.

One of the reasons is naturally that if these thousands of people are brought to Qizhou, once the three-year tax holiday is over, the poll tax paid for these thousands of slaves will cost tens of thousands of dollars every year.

When they were sent to Youzhou, Gao Cheng would definitely not let them go to help the high-ranking officials guard Fan Yang Lu's family.

But the more important reason is the gratitude to the senior cadres for giving up Qizhou.

Qizhou treats the Gao brothers differently from other states and counties. At that time, the six towns launched a new round of uprisings in Hebei, and the court could not extinguish it. Therefore, the local wealthy family was appointed as the governor of the state and county to resist Du Luozhou, Ge Rong and other rebellious troops.

Gao Yi, the father of the Gao brothers, was promoted from Baishen to the governor of Bohai County by virtue of Yuan Ziyou, who was still the king of the clan at that time, and his relationship with Gao Gan.

Ge Rong even broke the prefecture, and Gao Yi led the villagers of Jizhou to cross the river, and they were resettled in Qizhou between the Yellow River and Jishui. Yuan Ziyou again mediated, changing Qizhou to East Jizhou, and Gao Yi to East Jizhou Inspector.

Because Er Zhurong imprisoned Yuan Ziyou, Gao Yi and his son once accepted Ge Rong's official position and raised troops in the land of Heji. Later, Yuan Ziyou escaped from trouble, and a letter sent them to safety.

In any case, Qizhou is a better place than Youzhou, which is fighting openly and secretly with Fan Yang and the Lu family.

The remoteness of Youzhou is not as comfortable as Licheng County (Jinan, Shandong), the government office of Qizhou.

Gao Cheng felt that Gao Shen had learned a lesson from the Jiaodong Peninsula and would reform himself, but he didn't dare to gamble, so he warned him carefully, asking Gao Shen to memorize the "Policy Outline" and act according to it. Only let him go.

The high-ranking cadres were left behind, and there were other explanations.

"The Lu family in Fanyang lives far away in Youzhou, Cheng and his son are beyond reach, and only rely on Duke Gao to take care of them."

Looking at Gao Cheng's warm smile, Gao Gan really wanted to ask, why he stopped calling Gan Yong, but instead called Gao Gong instead.

When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

When Gao Cheng and him first met, they were called uncles one by one, just like when Gao Huan called Gao Aocao his uncle when Xindu Jianyi was established, he called Gao Aocao Gao Dudu after he gained a foothold.

The father and son have the same sex, but when you think about it carefully, the titles of uncle and uncle are nothing more than that, and the two of them will only be polite when they have something to ask for.

"You must do it carefully, so as not to make it different."

In fact, sending high officials to Youzhou was a helpless move. The gentry had been severely suppressed throughout the year. Sending a Xianbei nobleman to Youzhou this year as the governor would inevitably make Lu Shi suspicious.

Choose people in your own shogunate, and worry that you won't be able to control the scene.

Gao Gan was different. He had a long reputation and was a Hebei gentry. As an important participant of Gao Huanxindu Jianyi, it was impossible for him to be wooed by the Lu family when all the Gao brothers were reused by Gao Cheng.

If you work hard, the rewards should be cost-effective. Now that your own future and even the Bohai Gao family's popularity are all honored by Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son, why should Lu win him over.

Gao and Lu share the world?

As for Gao Gan, there is no need for Gao Cheng to tell him what he should do when he takes office. Those thousands of family servants have learned from Gao Shen's past, and Gao Gan will not commit the same crime again.

He was the one who heard about the situation and asked Gao Cheng's side.

After talking about the business, Gao Cheng dragged Gao Gan Haosheng to reminisce about the old days. Whether it was a letter meeting or the Luoyang rebellion, Gao Cheng chatted for a long time before letting Gao Gan leave.

Gao Jishi sent Gao Gan out of the Bohai Prince's Mansion, and then turned back. He has always followed Gao Cheng around, never leaving.

But there was a young man following behind him, who was the son of Wang Ji who had made an appointment with Gao Cheng last night, Wang Hong who was going to be one of Gao Cheng's bodyguards.

Gao Jishi pointed to Wang Hong and said:

"I heard from the guard that this young man came here with our brother and waited outside for a long time."

Faced with Gao Cheng's doubts, Wang Hong explained:
"The prince summoned the three high generals early in the morning to discuss important matters, and Hong dared not disturb them."
