Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 245 Retaliation
Liu Honghui had already set off for Yanzhou after the state examination, preparing to hand over the work to Cui Jishu.

The admission list of Dingzhou State Examination also arrived in Luoyang. Gao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was reviewed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then printed and sent to the Ministry of Officials. The Department of Wenxuan recorded the name and place of origin.

The servant Cui Xian, who presided over the specific government affairs of the Ministry of Officials, asked for the specific ranking in the Dingzhou State Examination from the Department of Literature and Selection.

As a native of Dingzhou, it is reasonable and understandable for him to care about the scientific examination situation in his hometown.

Cui Siam frowned when she saw Cui Fan, who was listed third in the classics category.

The conflict between him and Cui Yan, the father of Cui Shan, is also very simple. It is just that Cui Yan often brags with Lu Yuanming from Fanyang in front of people:
"You and I are the only two great families in the world, so what are the Cui family in Boling and the Li family in Zhaojun!" '

There is no lack of contempt for the Cui family of Boling and the Li family of Zhaojun in the words.

It is impossible for the clan to be humiliated in other dynasties, not to mention that this is the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the clan's reputation is related to the vital interests of the children of the gentry.

Cui Xian had no other thoughts about Cui Yan, he just wanted to kill him.

Friends may not really understand each other, but enemies often do.

Cui Xian knew very well the talent and learning of Cui Shan, the son of Cui Yan, but he really couldn't get in the Dingzhou imperial examination.

Not to mention whether She Digan would buy into his account, even She Digan himself was not satisfied with Cui Shan being the number one in classics.

When I actually went to Beijing to test policy theory, with Cui Shan's literary talents and experience in governing in Guangzhou, it might be possible to win a classics leader.

If that day really comes, Cui Xian can even imagine Cui Yan's proud appearance, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Cui Xian, holding the admission list in his hand and groaning for a long time, finally made up his mind that he must ruin Cui Shan's future, and it would be best to send Cui Yanyue away.

In all fairness, Cui Siam is not a narrow-minded person. Back then he recommended Xing Shao to Gao Cheng, but after Xing Shao entered the mansion, he mentioned Cui Siam's shortcomings to Gao Cheng several times.

In fact, Xiao Gaowang didn't have much opinion on this. No one is perfect, whether it's Cui Xian's shortcomings, or Xing Shao's habit of talking about people's right and wrong behind his back.

But Gao Cheng still took the opportunity to get furious, berated Xing Shao harshly, and afterwards deliberately claimed to others that he would expel Xing Shao from Luoyang and never hire him.

Xing Shao had already packed his bags and prepared to return home for the elderly.

It was Gao Cheng's secret instruction to let his cronies spread the matter. Cui Xian was so grateful when he learned about it, he went to the door to intercede for Xing Shao himself, so that the little Gao Wang who was angry about him calmed down.

After a while, Gao Cheng called Xing Shao again, and solemnly apologized to Xing Shao in front of all his staff.

Gao Cheng was very annoyed and blamed himself. He said that because he loved Cui Xian too much, he lost his sense in a hurry. Now after reflecting on it, he woke up:
If someone just speaks bluntly about the shortcomings of his cronies, he can't tolerate it, and who will dare to point out his faults in person in the future.

After all, he is the little Gao Wang who has been compared with Jinzhou Gao Gong since he was 11 years old. He is familiar with the article "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi and accepts advice", so how can he cover up his words.

Gao Huan, who was far away in Jinyang at the time, heard about the scene played by Gao Cheng, and he was overwhelmed by it.

Not only did Cui Xian and Xing Shao get moved by killing two birds with one stone, but he also established an image of caring for his subordinates and changing after hearing about it.

The truth about EQ is really under the control of Xiao Gaowang.

The cohesion and centripetal force of Gao Cheng's civil and military team has never been obtained by showing off the domineering spirit.

As the heir of the Gao Clan, he can easily gain the loyalty of his subordinates, but it is the little bits of kindness that he usually gives to make them work for him.

Cui Xian is a practical person, if he talks too much, he will not be loved and reused by Gao Cheng.

His open-mindedness towards Xing Shao is in stark contrast to his hatred towards Cui Yan, but now that he has decided to ruin Cui Shan's future, and even kill Cui Lan's family, Cui Xian immediately starts to try to implement it.

Facts have proved that even if they were born with four surnames and five clans, Xindu Jianyi Yuancong was promoted to General Cheqi, Doctor Zuo Guanglu, Minister of Huangmen, and was granted the title of Duke of Wucheng County.

An eminent official like Cui Yi was no match for Cui Xian's status as Gao Cheng's confidant.

What's more, although Cui Xian is only a deputy official of the Ministry of Officials, one of the six departments of Shangshu Province, Cui Yan, as the servant of the Huangmen, is a deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance and one of the three provinces alongside Shangshu Province.

But in terms of authority, Cui Siam is more important than Cui Yan. This can be known from the fact that Cui Ang and Cui Yuan are both servants of the Huangmen. In Gao Cheng's heart, Cui Ang is no match for Cui Xian.

Cui Xian started to dig out the black material of Cui Yan's family, and he found that he didn't even need to make up things by himself, it was enough to kill Cui Yan.

Of course, this does not include family scandals such as Cui Yan's concubine Feng's affair with Xing Shao and others.

Among the pile of scandals, in Cui Xian's view, the ones that can really kill Cui Yan have to make a fuss about two of them, and these two scandals are Cui Yan's unscrupulous words.

Although Cui Yan is capable, he is a big mouth without knowing the door, and he dares to say anything, but if he can understand the truth that misfortune comes from his mouth, he will not make an enemy like Cui Xian.

The first piece of black material was provided to Cui Xian by Shi Kai, the prefect of Qinghe who came to Beijing to report on his duties. When he was in Qinghe, he visited Cui Yuan's house to frighten the young Cui family:

"Don't be thieves in the future, you boys, I, the prefect, will kill people." '

As a result, Cui Yan, who was home at that time, heard this, and immediately said to his sons:
’ Still don’t answer the prefect: Our family is a thief, just grabbing one emperor’s arm, dragging him down the hall, and then arresting another emperor and pushing him up the hall, not a thief who steals a donkey and steals a calf. '

This answer is witty enough, but it is also really stupid.

To put it in a small way, this is to take for oneself the merits of abolishing Yuangong and welcoming Li Yuanshan.

On a bigger scale, your Qinghe Cui family is only a thief who abolished the emperor, so whoever wants to be the emperor in the future, isn't it the Gao family!
If the first article is a little far-fetched, then it is related to the second article, and Cui Yan can't argue with it.

The second black story was told by Cui Xian's brother-in-law, Li Shen, who had heard it mentioned that after Gao Cheng guarded Luoyang, Cui Yan once said in private when he returned to his hometown:
"Huangqian children can also take on important tasks?" '

Moreover, Li Shen also gave a key witness. Xing Shao, who had not yet been recruited by Gao Cheng, was present at the scene.

Cui Xian, who has been with the master for many years, knows very well what kind of temperament Gao Cheng is. On the surface, he can be called the master of the ages, but in reality he is suspicious and narrow-minded.

No need to mention Xiao Gaowang's suspicion. The narrow-mindedness is mainly aimed at those who offend him.

For example, Wei Jing was sent to Luoyang by a prisoner in Jizhou, his prestige was discredited, and he was basically in a state of social death among the nobles in Jinyang.

Hou Jing didn't listen to the order back then, and Cui Xian also knew that Gao Cheng had always held a grudge.

And Wang Yuanbin of Gaoyang is still a slave in Sun Teng's mansion.

Focusing on these two pieces of black material and the evidence of Cui Yuan's corruption and acceptance of bribes, Cui Xian concluded that Cui Yuan would have to shed his skin if he was not dead, at least his family couldn't afford to wear official skins.

　Also at night.

　　Thanks to the book friends for their plans of brisk and different dust.
