Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 307
There is a poem that said at the beginning: There is no party outside the party, the emperor thinks, and there is no faction inside the party, all kinds of strange things.

As the Gao family who ruled the three rivers and the six states in northern Xinjiang, there were also many factions in it.

But the most important thing is the faction around the two power centers of Jinyang and Luoyang, or Gao Huan and Gao Cheng's father and son. This is also the inevitable result of the special system of military and political duality.

It wasn't until Gao Cheng returned to power in Jinyang in the sixth year of Taichang (537 A.D.) that Gao Huan's trust was fully gained, and he was able to contact the Jinyang faction with his permission.

Even if Gao Cheng has his own civil and military team in Luoyang, he still needs to hand over to the veterans of Jinyang. For the huge Kanto, it is far from enough to rely on his confidantes trained in Luoyang to govern.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng's communication with the elders in Jinyang can be described as relaxed and pleasant.

Before Xindu Jianyi, Gao Huan was granted the title of Bohai King, and Gao Cheng was established as the son of the prince. Because of his premature participation in military and political affairs, he made great achievements over the years, and there is no dispute over the successor of the Gao family.

In particular, Gao Huan sent his sons to Luoyang to be raised by Gao Cheng. With such an obvious signal, naturally no one would bet on the rest of the sons.

In the original time and space, although Gao Cheng severely punished the nobles of Xianbei, only Hou Jing lost his mind and shouted: "King Gao is here, I dare not make any difference; Wang is not, I can't work with Xianbei children." '

Hou Jing has been in Henan for more than ten years, and only Sima Shiyun, the governor of Yingzhou, responded with the whole city, which can be seen from the people's aspirations.

Xianbei Xungui took advantage of Hou Jing's rebellion to lash out at Cui Siam who had suppressed them. He believed that Cui Siam had persecuted them too much, and finally forced Hou Jing to rebel. The story of Chao Cuo can be described as outrageous.

However, as long as Chen Yuankang spoke to Gao Cheng and strengthened his belief, the years of grievances that suddenly erupted from the Xianbei nobles were still easily suppressed.

Before the original owner took over, he had not made any achievements in the military, and the annexation of Huainan was only after he took power, and he still had such prestige. In the past ten years, King Xiaogao has made outstanding achievements in both military and political affairs, and has made many achievements. Just one of them.

Han Xian was lucky. If Gao Cheng, the butterfly, hadn't flapped his wings, he would have been ordered to quell the civil unrest in Luozhou three years ago. While cleaning the battlefield, his calf was cut off by the rioters hiding in the corpses, and he died.

Due to the appearance of Gao Cheng, the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not move the capital to Yecheng, and there was no operation of changing Sizhou to Luozhou, and then Xiangzhou to Sizhou. With Gao Cheng personally sitting in the town, it is impossible for Han Xian to be busy with civil unrest in Luozhou.

Of course, he didn't know this himself.

Gao Cheng was able to save Han Xian indirectly, but he couldn't change the fate of Cai Jun, the leader of the Guangning faction, just as he could only watch his uncle Duan Rong and general Yuan Zigong die of illness. In the fifth year of Taichang (536), he died of illness at the age of 42.

As the earliest non-kinship member to follow Gao Huan, Cai Jun, who joined him in the Douluo Zhouyi Army, harvested the glory behind Chijie, Shizhong, Dudu, Jizhou Governor, Shang Shuling, and Sikong Gong.

However, Cai Jun's death inevitably announced the decline of the influence of the Guangning faction with him, Pan Le, Han Xian and others as the main members.

It is human nature to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and it is human nature to hug a group. After Cai Jun passed away, Han Xian naturally needed to find help.

Therefore, Zhang Liang, who was appointed by Gao Cheng as the governor of Liaozhou and in charge of [-] salt soldiers, came into Han Xian's field of vision, and Gao Huan planned to find someone to observe the quality of the salt soldiers, and Han Xian asked for orders to travel.

Restricted by the clear division of military and political power, it was not only difficult for Gao Cheng to get in touch with civil and military forces in Jinyang, but it was also difficult for Jinyang generals to get in touch with Luoyang groups unless they were relatives of Lou Zhao, Dou Tai, She Digan, and Duan Rong.

This is also the reason why Murong Yan's fortune was reported back to Jinyang, which aroused everyone's envy. He just went to Rouran to meet his relatives, and easily transferred his job relationship from Jinyang to Luoyang.

Now the Gao family is still dominated by Gao Huan, but everyone is convinced that the future belongs to Gao Cheng, and with Gao Huan's recent physical condition, this future will not be too far away.

After Han Xian came to Longcheng, his enthusiasm made Zhang Liang secretly hesitate:

When I was in the prime minister's shogunate, although I often met him, our relationship was not so good.

Gao Cheng had already sent an order for him to lead the army south, and Zhang Liang naturally obeyed. Although the salt soldiers were reluctant to leave their families and stay in Longcheng, Zhang Liang came forward to explain that they were only stationed temporarily, and finally cheered up and followed Zhang. Let's go.

Walking outside Yecheng, Zhang Liang was still hesitating whether to enter the city to pay his respects, but Han Xian, who accompanied him to the south, came on horseback again. It turned out that Gao Huan had already left for Luoyang two days ago.

Du Bi, governor of Xiangzhou, looked at the [-] salt soldiers who made a detour outside the city, feeling lingering in his heart. Now when he saw these big soldiers, he felt very panicked.

In recent years, Gao Cheng has cracked down on corruption, but he and Gao Huan had already agreed that it would not affect the generals in the army.

Du Bi is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes. He can't see that these generals in the army are greedy but can get away with it, so he took advantage of Gao Huan's tour of Yecheng and asked him to fight corruption in the army.

This is not the first time Du Bi has spoken to Gao Huan. Not long after the Gao family came to the Kanto, they used it to breed corruption. Du Bi once advised Gao Huan to fight corruption in Jinyang. Gao Huan patiently explained to him:
"Yu Wentai attracts generals with high profits in Kansai, and Xiao Yan attracts scholar-bureaucrats with etiquette and music in Jiangnan. If I am eager to be serious about discipline and law, I am afraid that all the generals will go to Hei Otter, and all the scholars will go to Xiao Yan. What else can I rely on to build a country?"You wait a moment, I will not forget these. '

In fact, corruption not only existed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but also in the Western Wei Dynasty, and it was rampant in Nanliang. After all, there was a proverb in later generations that concluded: An official who travels thousands of miles is only for money.

Gao Huan did not deceive Du Bi last time. Gao Cheng's crackdown on corruption in Luoyang also received strong support from Gao Huan.

It's just that this time Du Bi wanted to expand the target to military generals, which really annoyed him.

Gao Huan then ordered the soldiers to stand on both sides of the road with bows and arrows, knives and spears, and let Du Bi walk through the middle, and comforted him by saying:

'Must not hurt you. '

Du Bi tremblingly walked over, already dripping with sweat.

Gao Huan then explained:
"Although the arrow is wound but never shot, the knife is raised but never cut down, the spear is held in your hand but never stabbed, but you are scared out of your wits.A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man lives ten years. Those generals risked their lives on the battlefield and died a hundred times. Even though they were greedy, how could they be blamed for it. '

Du Bi apologized on the spot:
"The lower officials are dull, and they only know this today." '

But in the end, it was the root cause of the disease. Every time I saw the big soldier, I always recalled the swords and guns I experienced at that time.
