Chapter 382 Gao Cheng Hosts a Banquet

Chapter 382 Gao Cheng Hosts a Banquet
Xiao Yuanming, the famous general in the world, the god of war in Nanliang, had not returned to Jiankang, and many stories about him in Qiying had been circulated in Jiangnan.

For example, when Xiao Yuanming first met Gao Cheng, the Lord of Qi, Gao Cheng ordered five hundred knives, axes, and sharp blades to flank the road, and Xiao Yuanming walked through it with a calm expression.

Gao Cheng forced him to kneel down, and Xiao Yuanming, Marquis of Zhenyang, was fearless, and said righteously:

"There are only beheaded generals in Daliang, and there are no humble princes."

Gao Cheng was furious, and slapped Xiao Yuanming's neck with the back of the knife, trying to slash, but Zhenyang Hou showed no fear on his face, Lord Qi threw the knife to the ground, looked left and right, and said dejectedly:
"If you want to die, Qu Yishi, how can you get it?"

So he ordered people to untie Xiao Yuanming, and from then on he was regarded as a guest of honor and dared not treat him as a prisoner.

Another example is Xiao Yuanming coaxing Lord Qi several times to approach the city to inspect, hoping that the guards of the Liang army could shoot the Northern Qi emperor to death with one arrow. A lot of pains.

These are all things written in the history books of later generations, and they cannot be faked.

There are many short stories like this. The eyes of the masses are discerning. When Xiao Yuanming returned to Jiankang City, he was treated like a hero.

As for the culprit of Bagong Mountain's defeat, there are always urchins throwing stones in front of Xia Houju's mansion.

Xiao Yuanming loaded a cart full of melons and fruits, and was ordered to go straight to Miyagi to meet his uncle Xiao Yan.

"Your majesty owes me a great trust. I have no face to see the emperor again. I want to return to the mansion to apologize for my crimes. However, my majesty sent someone to summon me. I dare not disobey. This time, I will return to the mansion to thank the world. I only hope that your majesty will be grateful." Long live, keep the Great Liang Sheji forever.”

Xiao Yuanming paid homage to Xiao Yan, kowtowed and wept.

Xiao Yan was moved by it, and wiped away tears and said:
"Fool, I already know the whole story of the Battle of Bagong Mountain. Baocheng Huanhou (Xiahou Kui) was a tiger father and dog son. Xiahou Jui was ashamed of the country, and Huainan was defeated. What has it to do with you.

"You committed yourself to the whole camp, but you were able to guard yourself, so that the northern captives did not dare to despise the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and greatly increased the prestige of the country. You have made meritorious deeds and no crimes. Why did you come here and keep your useful body? Beilu's wolf ambition will be more useful in the future .”

Xiao Yuanming cried and thanked him again. After leaving his uncle Xiao Yan, he returned to the mansion and had to report to the mansion. It turned out that the emperor had sent someone to send five thousand pieces of silk in private as a reward for keeping the festival.

After resting in the mansion for two days, Xiao Yuanzao, who was in charge of the peace talks, came to the door. Xiao Yuanzao and Xiao Yuanming are both Xiao Yan's elder brother, the son of Southern Qi Prime Minister Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's meritorious service, and was killed by Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan. , Xiao Yuanzao was ranked second among the brothers, and Xiao Yuanming was ranked fifth. The two brothers had always been good friends.

Previously, Xiao Yuanzao was in charge of negotiating, so in order to avoid suspicion, he did not meet with Xiao Yuanming. As soon as he entered the door today, he congratulated him repeatedly. It turns out that what Xiao Yan said is important is not just casually. Today Xiao Yuanzao came to inform that Xiao Yan will be guarded by Xiao Yuanming. Danyang, at the same time, restrained general Ningyuan Wang Zhi and other naval generals to patrol the Yijiang River.

When Gao Cheng woke up in the city of Hefei, the sun was already high, besides him, there was a naked woman on the couch, his eyes were as white as snow.

Ever since Xiao Yuanming was sent away, Gao Cheng moved to Hefei, Prime Minister Cao was away on an expedition at that age, and after a long time he had to look for prostitutes in the city, not to mention the young King Gao was in his prime.

When Xiao Yuanming left the town of Shouyang, he took four concubines with him to the north, namely Zhang, Yu, Wang, and Ruan. The four concubines were all beautiful, and Xiao Yuanming's beauty was also envied by the people of the time.

For example, in the original time and space, Xiao Yuanming was captured during the Northern Expedition, and his four concubines were sent back to Jiankang. Xia Houju, who was the long history of Xiao Yuanming at the time, still couldn't forget it. .

Before Xiao Yuanming left, he had never heard about the whereabouts of the four concubines, and Gao Cheng knew the whereabouts of the four concubines, and he would not take the initiative to mention it.

Carefully cover people with quilts, and still have a happy smile in their sleep.

Gao Cheng just stood up when he felt back pain, hiss!After thinking about the business, he asked Quan Yuanqi to give him the needle.

This time, Quan Yuanqi accompanied him all the way, or he was called a full-time doctor.

After reaching a peace agreement with Nanliang, Gao Cheng had already repatriated the civilian husband, but he was not in a hurry to teach.

Seizing Huainan is only the first step. The most important thing is to fully integrate Huainan into the Northern Qi system. If it is not handled well, once the army returns to Luoyang, there will be civil uprisings in Huainan. Therefore, Gao Cheng decided to stay on the ancient battlefield in Huainan , Micromanage it yourself.

On September [-]th of the first year of Zhaode, Gao Cheng set up a banquet at his temporary residence to entertain Huainan gentry.

The gentry in Hebei are most familiar with this routine. The so-called banquet is not a good banquet. Whenever the little Gao Wang hosts a banquet, it is not necessary to cut their flesh from them.

The Huainan gentry didn't know the truth, and they all came to the banquet happily, no matter which family's flag was planted in Huainan, the maintenance of the system depends on the local tyrants like them.

However, the first topic Gao Cheng brought up at the banquet made the Huainan scholars present unable to sit still: that is, to grant land to all.

Seeing the ugly faces of everyone, Gao Cheng said threateningly:

"My Daqi inherited the Yuan Wei Dynasty and adopted the land equalization system as the state policy of the land. Why, you don't want to be governed by Daqi, and you want to be Liang Ren?"

An old man of the gentry stood up tremblingly, boldly bowed to Gao Cheng and said:

"Your Majesty, as far as the grassroots know, the land equalization system allocates land without a master. Why does Your Majesty divide our ancestral property? This is all the hard work of our ancestors."

Gao Cheng snorted coldly:
"It's nothing more than exploiting the tenant farmers. How hard is it to talk about it! You said that your own land is not land without an owner, do you have proof?"

The old man quickly replied:

"There is a land deed as evidence."

Gao Cheng smiled and said:
"Which country's seal is it on?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, the old man guessed what Gao Cheng was thinking, but he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Your Majesty has newly acquired Huainan, and has not replaced the land deed for us. Now the land deed is naturally sealed by Liang Guo."

Hearing the words, Gao Cheng slapped the table again, and said angrily:

"Use the seal of Liang to prove the land of Daqi. If Xiao Yan stamps the seal on the document belonging to Luoyang, will I move the capital and hand over the city of Luoyang!"

As soon as Gao Cheng finished speaking, the guards all stared at him and drew their knives to threaten him.

All the gentry present knew that he was messing around, even if they scolded Gao Cheng from the bottom of their hearts, they could only plead guilty on the surface.

Gao Cheng's anger still persisted, and he said angrily:
"The gentry in Hebei were able to protect their ancestral property because they worked hard with my father. How much credit do you have to the Gao family? How dare you have such extravagant expectations. Today, I only take the acres of land and don't ask about the remaining money. It is already a kindness. Is it possible that I will You all move to Mount Mang to guard the mausoleum for my father!"

After this intimidation, everyone was terrified. They had also heard about the wave of emigration to the north a few years ago. If they really annoyed the other party, it would be good to move them, the gentry, to Mount Mang. At least in the Central Plains, if they followed the Liang The ordinary people in Hefei who went southward moved to the bitter cold land of Liaozhou, and it was useless to regret their intestines.
