Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 283

Yu Wentai and Gao Chengsu have never met, but they know each other quite well, and they know their best reputation.

But between the two countries, there is always a need to save face, now Gao Chengshi opened his mouth and asked for ten thousand pieces of cloth, Yu Wentai gritted his teeth and took it out, not worried that the other party swallowed the cloth but would not let him go.

He had heard that when Gao Cheng attacked Pengcheng in Xuzhou, he would rather spend a lot of trouble than ruin his political reputation.

A Pengcheng is not worthy of Gao Cheng's ruin, even though ten thousand bolts of silk cloth are valuable, they are not worth as much as Pengcheng.

To show his sincerity, Yu Wentai directly sent someone to send the cloth to Luoyang instead of trading at the border.

You can not only observe along the way, but also take the opportunity to contact the spies, why not do it.

However, from the difference in the identities of the envoys sent by Yu Wentai to Jinyang and Luoyang, it can be seen that he has different views on the Gao family and his son.

The envoys to Jinyang only searched for a scholar at random, because they were worried that Gao Huan would take the opportunity to detain him.

If anyone still believed in He Liuhun's political credibility these days, Er Zhuzhao and Liu Lisheng would be doomed.

But the envoy sent to Luoyang has a lot of background.

He Lanxiang led the mission to escort ten thousand pieces of cloth and silk, and finally came to Luoyang City under the escort of soldiers from the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Feeling in my heart, my uncle is wise, and the other party is not stupid. He monitored the whole process and never gave the slightest chance to contact people.

He Lanxiang's deceased mother was Yu Wentai's eldest sister.

In the first year of Xiaochang (525), He Lanxiang was only 11 years old, his parents died, and he became an orphan and was raised by a group of uncles.

At the age of 17, together with his cousin Yuwenhu, he was taken to Chang'an by Yuwentai.

At that time, Erzhu Tianguang and He Bayue were on top of Yu Wentai's head, and they were looking for a job for his nephew, which shows that he loved him.

After Yuwentai took power alone, he opened the door for this nephew and thwarted Gao Huan's expedition to the west. He Lanxiang only stayed in Chang'an, and because of his stay, the city increased by [-] households.

Up to now, it is even more envoys and governors.

When He Lanxiang thought of seeing the three aunts and aunts, his heart was overwhelmed.

Although he was brought up by his uncles, but in truth, he could only be taken care of by three aunts.

When he heard that Yuwen Shifei, Yuwen Bodhi, Yuwen Yuanbao and other cousins ​​died in Jinyang, leaving behind his aunt and aunt, he was no less sad and worried than his cousin Yuwenhu.

Haven't seen each other for eight years, and now that Luoyang is close at hand, He Lanxiang can't wait to fly into the city to meet his relatives.

But envoys have their own etiquette when they come and go. He Lanxiang patiently entered the palace to pay a visit to the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The court was full of courtiers, but Gao Cheng, who was most feared by his uncle, was not seen.

The person in charge of the hall called himself Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and served Gao Longzhi.

He Lanxiang noticed the fear in Yuan Shanjian's eyes looking at Gao Longzhi.

Gao Cheng was not present, and He Lanxiang's attention was not on Gao Longzhi, but on a minister named Cui Jishu.

Some things are taboo in Kansai. For example, the two emperors Yuan Xiu and Yuan Baoju were beaten by Cui Jishu.

But it's no secret to He Lanxiang.

In front of Cui Jishu's gentle appearance, it is difficult to associate him with the image of beating people.

Of course, the business must not be left behind. After He Lanxiang handed over the letter of credentials, he asked Yuan Shanjian to send someone to check the quantity of cloth, so that he could meet his relatives earlier.

Yuan Shan glanced at Gao Longzhi and asked for his opinion.

Gao Longzhi nodded slightly, Yuan Shan saw that he agreed, sent someone to check the cloth, and after confirming that it was not faked as good, and that it was the real number, he immediately ordered someone to ask Gao Cheng for instructions from Zhongshu Province.

Gao Cheng didn't make things difficult for the envoy either, he sent Wei Xingqing into the palace and led He Lanxiang to another courtyard to meet Yan Ji and others.

As soon as He Lanxiang entered the door, he saw four faces in his memory. The three aunts were all old, but the aunt still had the beautiful appearance when she was 19 years old, adding to the charm.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

"You are...Xiang'er? You are Helan Shengle!"

Yan Ji and the others exclaimed.

It's just that this sound fell in He Lanxiang's ears, and he was already in tears.

"My nephew came late, making my aunt and aunt suffer."

Several people hugged each other and cried, and it took a long time before they recovered, Yan Ji wiped her tears and said:

"I never thought I would see Xiang'er again in this life. How are Xiang'er, guide and nurse?"

After the eldest son Yuwen Shifei died, the second son Yuwen Dao and the third son Yuwen Hu entrusted all Yan Ji's concerns.

"Don't worry, Auntie, Bodhisattva (Yuwen Dao) and Sabao (Yuwen Hu) are doing well, and they are now looking forward to Auntie and Auntie in Chang'an."

He Lanxiang laughed while wiping away tears.

The other two aunts on the side looked sad. The elder sister-in-law also had brothers Yuwendao and Yuwenhu in Chang'an, and their only sons Yuwen Yuanbao and Yuwen Bodhi had been killed by Gao Huan.

He Lanxiang felt something in his heart and stopped smiling.

He grew up with Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Bodhi, and Yuwen Yuanbao since he was a child, and his relationship is the closest.

The reason why Yuwentai only took Yuwendao, Yuwenhu and He Lanxiang away was because Yuwen Shifei, Yuwen Yuanbao and Yuwen Bodhi were left to take care of their mothers respectively.

Eight years ago, he was only He Bayue's general, and he could not have predicted that the situation in the north would eventually turn into a rivalry between himself and the Gao family.

Otherwise, the nephews would have to be taken away no matter what, so that the second elder brother Yu Wenlian and the third elder brother Yu Wenluo would not have any heirs.

He Lanxiang also noticed that his aunt seemed not very interested, thinking that the other party also thought of the death of Yuwen Shifei and others.

But they didn't know that it was because she broke up with Gao Cheng that it was difficult for her to laugh.

He Lanxiang took the three aunts and aunts to the embassy for a temporary stay.

I wanted to stay a little longer so as to spy on information, but someone sent a letter telling He Lanxiang to lead his relatives to Zhongshu Province to bid farewell, and then returned west immediately, not allowed to stay for long.

Yan Ji and the other three were naturally nervous, they were worried that Gao Cheng would force her sister-in-law to stay.

Upon seeing this, He Lanxiang asked why, but he refused to reveal the truth, only saying that he was worried that the other party would repent, and he did not want to let them go back.

"Auntie and auntie, don't worry. Uncle once said that Gao Cheng is the most trustworthy person, and he will keep his promises. He will not make things difficult for us."

He Lanxiang's relief reminded Aunt Yuwen of Gao Cheng's sweet talk.

Whether it was Fengfeng marrying her in, making their son king, or protecting Yuwen's relatives, these were all promised by her lover.

"Then Gao Cheng really keeps his word?"

Aunt Yuwen asked.

The three sisters-in-law thought that the sister-in-law was just worried that Gao Cheng would renege on her promise and would not let her leave.

After all, in the eyes of Yan Ji and others, this sister-in-law has been bullied by Gao Cheng, so it is normal to have such worries.

He Lanxiang then told the whole story about Pengcheng, saying that the wealthy family of Pengcheng asked to surrender, but Gao Cheng insisted on dealing with the other party. Some counselors suggested that he should accept his surrender and slaughter after controlling the city, but Gao Cheng refused, preferring to add to the trouble , and don't want to promise to break the promise again.

After hearing about Pengcheng, Aunt Yuwen no longer has any doubts. She believes that her lover is a man who keeps his promise, and she will definitely not deceive herself.

Gao Cheng was unwilling to sell his political reputation at a low price back then, but now, he is finally about to receive a reward.

　Thanks to the book friends Light and Shadow Dancer and Wuhen for their rewards.
