Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 440 Heart (4000)

There is a mountain in Jingkou called Beigu Mountain, and there is a building on the mountain called Beigu Tower.

Gao Cheng walked to the front of the building, and saw Xiao Xianyan's previous inscription:
'Number one country in the world. '

Everyone who accompanied him knew that Gao Cheng's handwriting was ugly, and no one suggested that the emperor should keep his calligraphy.

Gao Cheng ascended the tower and overlooked the surging river.

In the midst of a surge of emotion, Gao Cheng slapped the railing hard. Everyone was puzzled, and Gao Cheng didn't explain, but it took several shots before he remembered that Xin Qiji slapped the railing all over. The so-called construction has not been seen yet.

But King Gao is the son of heaven, I saw him take out the treasured sword in his waist, take a look at it, and leave a sentence:
"Look at Wu Gou, photographed the railings, no one will, so I want to board."

He didn't explain, just let out a long sigh, and walked away.

The accompanying officials whispered behind them:

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"Look at this little chubby, I'm afraid he is another Xiao Cong."

Before Gao Cheng finished speaking, he heard Gao Xiaocong curiously say:
"Grandpa couldn't survive then?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Jingkou is a small place, I believe that Your Majesty will take root here."

On the third day of October in the fourth year of Zhaode (551), Gao Cheng left Duan Shao as the town general of Jingkou, commanded [-] troops to garrison the three cities and Jingkou, and Wang Wei was resourceful and decisive, and was appointed as the governor of Jingkou, assisting Duan. Shao.

Ignoring this small episode, Gao Cheng continued to educate the disciples:

Duan Shao said righteously

"A politician should take governing the people as his top priority. The people must be able to survive. Otherwise, even if they kill their heads and exterminate their families, they will not be able to intimidate them. As Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said: 'If you die today, you will die, and you will die if you plan big plans. ; Waiting for death, is it possible to die in the country?'”

Immediately lost interest, I always felt that that paragraph of words was humiliated, even if it is the emperor, I still have to be a little in awe.

"Don't give it to others!"

"The child will not rule the people in the future, so he will be spared this fate! Or even be spared from studying."

"Maybe it is to destroy Liang?"

And Gao Cheng did not forget to promise Xiao Lun the food, grass, and weapons. He had already written about Jianghan and the three states, ordering them to provide Xiao Lun with supplies to support the war between Jingnan and Lingnan.

As for the governor of Jingzhou, with Hu Luguang's transfer to the town, he was also reduced to a civilian position and no longer led the army.

Inside the house, Cui Jishu explained the special features of Yaoguang Temple to the five girls.

"It turns out that in the theory of victory or defeat, one depends on the strength of the country, the second depends on the ability of the generals, and the third depends on the morale of the soldiers."

Lou Zhaojun smiled with his little grandson in his arms.

Gao Cheng was really embarrassed to mention the attributes of Yaoguang Temple face to face, so he threw the question to Cui Jishu and left in a hurry.

"For example, if Xiao Lun asks for food, I will help him. When he is defeated, he will counterattack Jingnan for Xiao Ji, and then ask me for help. I will cross the river in Jianghan to help him retreat from the enemy, and take advantage of the trend to garrison in Jingnan."

Gao Cheng frowned and asked:

Gao Cheng explained to him:
"Marching and fighting is all about national power. Chen Baxian's plunder caused the forces in Jingnan and Lingnan to ebb and flow, and Xiao Lun crossed the Vietnamese mountains to attack each other, so it was even more difficult to supply.

Restricting military generals from gaining power and restricting them from making profits naturally has to be looser in terms of status.

Gao Cheng thought for a while, and then warned:

"If you want to know the Sacred Heart and be considerate of the emperor, you have to be Cui Pushe."

Gao Xiaocong said proudly.

The five girls looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they couldn't help being curious, wanting to see what Cui Jishu called the so-called paradise on earth.

Fortunately, the king's title could not be inherited, and Gao Cheng did not open the door to the clan's convenience.

"Besides, before Chen Baxian plundered Xiao Lun's family members, if he made a fuss about it during the war, Xiao Lun's army would definitely be disturbed."

Seeing Gao Cheng say today, 'no one will come, come here', he made his own initiative and brought these five people here.

It is possible to do it now, but it is slightly different from what I imagined.

"In terms of financial resources, material resources, and the bravery of the soldiers, Jiangnan is far inferior to Jiangbei. Now Jiangbei is united, while Jiangnan has Xiao's sons competing.

"Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense, and listen to the teachings of the father."

"You must know that as an official, the biggest evil is to be greedy for money for disaster relief, such a person must be late to vent his hatred.

"If you don't study, what will you do in the future?"

"Uncle Zheng (Cui Jishu), you explain clearly to them, if you still don't want to go, then that's fine."

"As a ruler, the greatest evil is to sit back and watch the people suffer without saving them.

The meaning of Lord Jiaxuan is to subdue the mountains and rivers of his homeland, and he is lamenting that he has no ambition to restore the Central Plains, and it is difficult to have a bosom friend.

As for the five beautiful women behind Cui Jishu, the four brothers pretended not to see them.

Listening to the flattery of his colleagues, Cui Jishu couldn't help but secretly said proudly:
'No one knows His Majesty better than I do. '

"Your Majesty, keep this in mind."

On October [-]th of the fourth year of Zhaode, Gao Cheng was still in Huainan, in the palace city of Luoyang, and a newcomer was added.

After Gao Xiaozhang and others heard the words, they expressed that they remembered the teachings of their father.

"Be upright for your father, it's best to cultivate your character, how can you be such a rebellious son! Dislike your father! Dislike your father!"

Gao Cheng also knew his cousin, and told him:
"Filial piety must never have the heart to underestimate the enemy."

"Why is father so sure that Xiao Lun is invincible?"

When he caught sight of the five girls behind Cui Jishu, the little Gao Wang who hadn't touched him for a long time became interested, but Cui Jishu laughed and said:
"Your Majesty's meaning, I will know it."

How else could he answer, he couldn't say that He Liuhun was purely an ambitious man, thinking about making troubles all day long.

"It is true that natural disasters cannot be resisted by human beings, but as a ruler, they can do their best to remedy them. For example, local officials do not repair ditches. When there is a drought and the people have nothing to eat, the politicians should allocate food from various places to relieve the victims.

Gao Cheng didn't rush to answer, but called the other four sons, and said to them earnestly:

Except for the navy after a fierce battle, Gao Aocao and Peng Le's advance troops fought a small battle, and there was no conflict in the Southern Expedition, which made him doubt whether he was following his father or going on an outing in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gao Xiaoguan heard the words and said with emotion:
"Sure enough, natural disasters are beyond the reach of human beings."

Gao Cheng nodded and said:
"You can use this as the topic tomorrow, and write an essay to present to your father."

Chen, who was once a prostitute in the Guangyang government, gave birth to a son in the palace.

Gao Jishi, the governor of Yongzhou who led the army to station at Dasan Pass and scattered Duguxin's defenders, was also rewarded. Gao Cheng gave him the title of Duke of Fanyang and increased his food counties. He was only one step away from the king of the county.

As a mother, she had a quarrel with her eldest son, Gao Cheng, mainly because this son was too disobedient and unfilial, but the enmity between mother and son did not reach her grandson after all.

"Study Second Uncle spends his days drinking and sexing."

The rest of the brothers resigned one after another, but Gao Xiaoguan still found his father and asked out his doubts.

"Stayed in Jingkou, don't be greedy for beauty, restrain the troops, and don't disturb the people."

Gao Cheng thought, good guy, you are still bullying the king face to face, right? Of course, he also knows that this is a joke Duan Shao told himself.

The five women had never left Jiangnan, and they only thought that they were sent to Yaoguang Temple to become nuns and to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp. They were very old, so naturally they didn't want to be lonely for a lifetime.

Gao Cheng was startled, and immediately pretended not to hear.

Gao Xiaoguan followed his father back to the temporary residence, feeling somewhat depressed. Earlier, his father promised that he would bring his brothers with him in the future expedition to the south.

"In all dynasties and dynasties, there are no shortage of people who could not survive and rebelled violently. Your grandfather also joined the rebel army in Hebei."

Besides, Gao Cheng is very stingy, he is not allowed to inherit the prince, he will die for the rest of his life, and the descendant inherits the prince, he must be downgraded to a county prince.

The four brothers hurriedly lowered their heads and walked away, but before they left the yard, they met Shangshu Youpu shot Cui Jishu, and the four hurriedly saluted him as nephew and nephew.

"You have also read history, you should understand that small people can be bullied, and kings have the power of life and death, so you can treat them as worthless.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have never been greedy for money or lustful in my life, so I should use this to inspire the three armies."

Among Gao Cheng's five sons, the other four were estranged from Gao Yang, but Gao Xiaocong got along with Gao Yang's son, Gao Yin, and often went to Gao Yang's mansion, and his relationship with his second uncle was as good as father and son.

But no matter how cheap Wang Jue is, it can’t stop the generals from pursuing it hard. Don’t you see that in the first battle of Jianghan, Hou Jing will be the vanguard in every battle for Wang Jue, and even his family is almost wiped out.

"Nonsense! Your Majesty is a person who does not believe what he says. According to Cui, he must blame us for not looking for beauties in the south of the Yangtze River."

"It's not necessary to call the three armies, and it's enough to strictly enforce military discipline."

"But the ordinary people can't be bullied either. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang cut trees to serve as soldiers in Daze Township; Chimei and Lvlin overthrew Xinmang;

"As for the commanders of the two sides, Chen Ba first rose at the end of the century and established himself with military exploits, while Xiao Lun only relied on his status as a prince to get to where he is today. dispute.

Only then did Duan Shao solemnly answer:

"Just use words to provoke them and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But because Gao Cheng was responsible for going forward to offer Xue Yuanshi, he kept them in Xiao Yuanming's mansion.

After finishing speaking, he said to Gao Xiaocong:

After fulfilling his wish and being conferred the title of prince, Gao Cheng didn't even care if he classified his old army as soldiers, who could be transferred at any time and belong to the rest of the generals.

Duan Shao promised that in his eyes, the Nanliang navy was capable, but the cavalry was not enough. Gao Cheng left him [-] troops in the south of the Yangtze River. If Gao Cheng didn't allow it, he was confident that he could abolish the establishment in Jiankang at any time. Things.

At the same time, Hu Luguang, who successfully captured Hanzhong, also received an edict of reward from Gao Cheng in Jiangnan.

Gao Cheng stroked his head and said with a smile:
"When I was a child, I learned the art of war with Murong Shaozong for a few days, but in marching and fighting, I used power to bully others.

Xiao Gao Wang is a warm-hearted person. When he heard that Xiao Lun was going south to exchange ideas with Xiao Ji, he immediately agreed and asked someone to discuss the specific amount with Cui Jishu. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Lun was waived of interest.

When the Northern Qi invaded and occupied Jingkou, Cui Jishu did not forget to make people look at Xiao Yuanming's mansion, and went to the mansion to inspect it himself, and selected these five people.

"The battle for the throne has just come to an end, Xiao Lun and Xiao Ji are going to fight again, in such a situation, why should we fight hard for our father.

Gao Cheng led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry with Hu Luguang, and continued to stay in Hanzhong, while the rest returned to the town.

Gao Xiaozhang reprimanded in a low voice:

Gao Xiaoguan was not far away when he heard the fifth younger brother's cry and his father's angry reprimand from the room:
"You are so young, you dare to say that you live your life with wine and sex!"

Today's Yaoguang Temple is no longer the place where the concubines of the Northern Wei Dynasty lived. After Gao Cheng's years of hard work, it has become his private happy city. Wine and meat, often let loose with the women in the temple, share the joy.

Gao Xiaoguan was very puzzled by this, and said doubtfully:

Gao Xiaocong quickly covered his small mouth.

Gao Xiaocong looked bitter, hugged Gao Cheng's arm and said coquettishly:

But in the end it was Xiao Cui's good intentions. Gao Cheng asked about her identity, and after knowing that she was not a civilian girl who was snatched by force, he only said indifferently:
"Send it to Yaoguang Temple for resettlement."

Of course Gao Cheng's concubines knew about the festival between mother and son, but they still had to keep a low profile in front of Lou Zhaojun and fulfill their duties as daughters-in-law in feudal ethics.

The five women that Cui Jishu brought this time were originally Xiao Zhengde's favorite concubines. When Xiao Zhengde fled across the river, they were killed by Xiao Yuanming, and these women were hidden in Jingkou by him.

He led the rest of the troops to cross the river at Jingkou under the guard of the navy and returned to the north.

Gao Cheng heard that Cui Jishu begged to see him, so he let Gao Xiaocong go and sent him away.

Of course, no matter in the original time and space or today, there is a phenomenon of excessive rewards for the princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it is also a helpless move.

Gao Cheng waved Gao Xiaozhang, Gao Xiaoyu, Gao Xiaowan, and Gao Xiaoguan to retreat temporarily.

"Cui Pushe's words are justified."

Walking to the bank of the river, Gao Cheng called Duan Shao to his side, and said to him:
"I will return the north in a few days, and entrust all the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River to you. If the situation is urgent, Xiao Xian can kill first and then play."

Gao Cheng treats Hu Luguang as the general he loves, so naturally he does not hesitate to reward him. He made Hu Luguang the king of Zhongshan County, moved the town to Hanzhong, and served as governor of Liangzhou.

Not only Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu raised by himself, no matter whether they are descendants of his own sons or concubine sons, Lou Zhaojun loves these grandchildren very much, and often calls them into the palace to meet each other.

When the group returned to Jingkou Town, an envoy from Xiao Lun came to ask Gao Cheng for food, grass and weapons.

Gao Cheng said it casually at the time, but Cui Jishu understood it as Little Gao Wang was very lonely.

Gao Cheng added:
"Don't forget the hydrology and topography. Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was so brave back then, but they encountered a mountain torrent when they withdrew. A generation of famous generals only survived."

They all cried and begged for mercy, claiming that they only wanted to serve the king with their own bodies.

"If you sit back and watch the hungry people disperse and starve to death everywhere, it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Seeing Lou Zhaojun's happy smile, Luoyang Gongcheng was also immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Gao Cheng was really helpless towards this youngest son, Gao Xiaocong was stubborn because of his stubbornness, so among the five brothers, he was the one who was beaten the most, but sometimes he felt that some of Gao Xiaocong's behaviors were innocent and cute, unlike his four older brothers who were all like little adults, Less playful.

Gao Xiaoguan suddenly said:

He Hou Jing didn't want to plot rebellion, he was a loyal minister of Da Qi.

Hu Luguang was awarded the title of prince, and he wrote two letters before he even had time to express his gratitude.

One was sent to Jiangnan, naturally it was sent to Duan Shao, just to tell him that he is now the king of the county, so he should not show off to him in the future.

The other letter was sent to Chang'an, and it was addressed to Gao Jishi, Duke of Zhongshan County, asking him what he should pay attention to when dealing with people after he became the county king.
