Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 231 The Song Brothers
The people who came were a pair of brothers from the same clan. After Gao Cheng heard the name, he whispered a few words to Lu Shi, and left her to write letters with his father Lu Daoqian in his study.

Gao Cheng ordered someone to lead the pair of brothers from the same clan to the reception room, but he himself was not in a hurry to go first.

It's not intentional to let the two of them hang out, he wants to go back to the backyard to find a concubine.

Song Qindao and Song Youdao sat upright in the guest room, even if Gao Cheng was not there, they did not whisper to each other, especially Song Youdao, who straightened his waist, looking like a tall and straight green pine.

Both of them are from Lieren County, Guangping County, Xiangzhou (Fei Township, Hebei). One is named Qindao, and the other is named Youdao.

"You two have been waiting for a long time."

Gao Cheng entered the door and laughed loudly.

Song Qindao and Song Youdao followed the sound and saw that Gao Cheng was not the only visitor, behind him was Song Niang, the former concubine of Yingchuan, who was holding the second son Gao Xiaoyu in her arms.

Before the two of them could salute Gao Cheng, Niang Song paid the salute first and said with a choked voice:
"Little sister has met the two elder brothers."

It turned out that the two belonged to the same family as Song Niang, especially Song Qindao, who were cousins.

The grandfather of him and Song Niang was Song Bian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was left behind by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After Gao Cheng exchanged names with them and greeted each other, he allowed the brothers and sisters of the same clan who had reunited after a long time to exchange greetings, while he carefully looked at the two of them from the sidelines.

Different from Song Qindao's excitement, Song Youdao still had a serious face, he was older than Song Qindao, about forty years old.

Gao Cheng thought carefully about this person's past and historical records, and he could understand his serious appearance.

Song Youdao is an old cynic, with an upright temperament and a hatred for evil.

Song Youdao did not accept gifts from officials after his father was the prefect of Bohai.

His mother is extremely filial, as we all know, King Gao's favorite is a dutiful son like him.

Song Youdao served in the central government when Emperor Xiaozhuang was Emperor Xiaozhuang. He successively served as the censor in the palace and the doctor of Zuo Zhongbing. '

Later, as a lowly official, he fell in love with Shangshuling Linhuai Wang Yuanyu, and resigned angrily.

Now that Song Youdao meets in vain, Gao Cheng can't take it lightly, because Song Youdao in history is the most vicious dog under Gao Cheng's command.

He is so jealous that he especially loves to extract confessions by torture, and he will never show mercy to criminals. He has always been strict and serious as the standard. Although his behavior was criticized by court scholars, the people of Yanzhou set up a living shrine for Song Youdao, titled "Lord of the Qing Dynasty", which shows what Li Zizhen did in the local area.

The so-called Zhongqing, although Song Youdao was loyal, he was not clean. When his father died when he was young, he did not even accept gifts from officials. He also accepted bribes after he became a dignitary, but all the property he got was used to help the poor among his old friends of the same clan.

Historically, the nobles who were rectified by Song Youdao included Sun Teng, Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, Hou Jing, etc., and they attacked the Yuan clan king even more.

With such a good thug, Gao Cheng naturally wanted to make good use of it.

Thinking like this, Gao Cheng looked at Song Qindao who was taking Gao Xiaoyu from Song Niang's arms.

Gao Cheng didn't know much about Song Qindao. He only knew that he taught Gao Yang's son Gao Yin in the Eastern Palace after the establishment of Northern Qi. to die.

Thinking about Gao Yin's cowardly appearance during the Qianming Change, Gao Cheng couldn't help shaking his head secretly. Gao Yin's own personality was the main reason, and Song Qindao, the teacher, couldn't say he was not responsible.

Of course, what Gao Cheng knows most about Song Qindao is the funny things.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Empress Mu, Mu Xieli, who was engaged in the flesh and blood business with her mother-in-law, Queen Mother Hu, was accused of being Song Qindao's illegitimate daughter.

Song Qindao hugged Gao Xiaoyu in his arms to Song Youdao who was at the side to watch. Infected by the smile on his face, even Song Youdao, who was always serious, softened his expression.

"Sit down first, both of you are from your own family, and sit down and talk."

When Song Qindao returned Gao Xiaoyu to Song Niang, Gao Cheng greeted her with a smile.

Undoubtedly, both of them are the talents they need, not to mention Song Youdao, the official thug, if Song Qindao can be sent by Gao Yang to teach Gao Yin, his own talents must be not bad.

However, after a detailed discussion, Gao Cheng was surprised that Song Qindao knew little about literature and history, but he had a deep understanding of the law.

Of course, studying the law is also a serious way out. Feng Shu is now formulating a new law with others. Gao Cheng summoned his servants to bring paper and pens, and wrote a warrant for Song Qindao on the spot, asking him to take it to Luoyang and participate in the formulation of the new law.

As for Song Youdao, Gao Cheng also invited him to temporarily live in Shangshu Zuocheng. Although Song Youdao was white, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, so he didn't need to suffer hard to be reappointed.

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the functions and powers of Shangshu and Zuocheng were stipulated.

Shangshu Zuocheng assisted Shangshuling, and was in charge of the discipline;

Youcheng assisted the left and right servants to shoot, and was in charge of money and valleys, etc., with an average rank of four hundred stones.

Therefore, Yushi Lieutenant and Shangshu Zuocheng are called the Southern Taipei Province together, and the picketing atmosphere.

The so-called Nantai refers to Yushitai, and the Northern Province refers to Shangshu Province.

Lieutenant Du Bi of Yushi has been clean for three generations and hates corruption, but when it comes to dealing with corrupt officials, he is not as vicious as Song Youdao, the vicious dog Yang Min said.

Song Qindao and Song Youdao's trip was to seek to use Gao Cheng, and they were not dissatisfied with his assignment.

They are all tailor-made arrangements for them. Song Qindao has not been an official for the time being, but participating in the formulation of laws is to accumulate qualifications. Song Youdao is jealous of evil, and serving as Shangshu Zuocheng is also in line with his wishes.

The two of them thanked Gao Cheng repeatedly, and Gao Cheng kept a meal, and Song Niang accompanied them all the way.

After dinner, Gao Cheng personally sent Song Youdao and Song Qin Daoli out of the mansion, and after saying goodbye, Gao Cheng put his arms around Song Niang's waist and said with emotion:

"I never wanted to marry Xijun, not only gave birth to my beautiful son, but also sent two talented people."

Song Niang hugged Gao Xiaoyu, leaned her body slightly, leaned against Gao Cheng's arms, her face was slightly red and she said:
"Since my husband's virtuous works are written all over the world, and he attracts celebrities to join him, what does it have to do with my concubine?"

Gao Cheng hugged Song Niang even tighter, and said intimately:
"You are getting more and more lovely."

This is true, since the birth of Gao Xiaoyu, Song Niang has become much plumper.

Returning to the mansion with Song Niang, Gao Cheng was about to go back to his room to rest, but Yunniang reported that Mrs. Lu was still in the study.

Yun Niang is the widow of Yanzhou that Cui Jishu presented at the beginning.

Gao Cheng stayed by his side as a personal maid, but did not take her into the room.

Always take the influence into consideration, if Yunniang is accepted as a concubine, the governors of all states and counties will follow suit and look for beautiful widows for him, and this will be regarded as a promotion.

Not to mention improving Cheng's own reputation, the atmosphere in the officialdom has also been lost. After years of hard work, the atmosphere in the officialdom has finally improved a little, but it can't be because of this kind of thing.

　and also.

　　Thanks to the book friends Misty Rain Qingchen and Yiqu Mingfei Tianxia Jing for their rewards.
