First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 250 Gold and Jade Soup

...

For Li Shimin's intention to let him go to Jingchu to fight against Xiao Xian, Gao Chong was overjoyed, but also extremely grateful to Li Shimin, although Gao Chong knew that Li Shimin at this time was planning for the future.

Xiao Liang's regime seemed extremely powerful, but in recent months, Xiao Liang's civil servants and military generals have voted for Tang. It can be seen that Xiao Liang is already a strong outsider, and once the Tang army goes down the river, Xiao Liang will surely perish.

The main general who conquered Xiao Liang had already been appointed as Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao Jun. This Li Shimin could no longer be controlled, but if Li Shimin recommended Gao Chong to join the conquest, Li Yuan would have no reason to refuse. Second, Gao Junya holds a high position and authority in the court.

In this way, people from King Qin's lineage were naturally inserted into the team that conquered Xiao Xian. It just so happened that King Qin's mansion was big enough, so Gao Chong could use this opportunity to jump out of the circle of King Qin's mansion and step into a wider world. In order to become a better help for Li Shimin in the future.

The post of Sima in Prince Qin's Mansion is ranked below the fourth rank. Although he is a noble, with Gao Chong's background and military exploits, it is more than enough for the third rank.

After Li Shimin settled in Luoyang, he also knew that in the next few months, he would be at leisure, and Li Yuan and others would arrange for him to deal with the aftermath.

Since Li Shimin raised his army, he has made great achievements in fighting Xihe, capturing Hedong, destroying Xueju, pacifying Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, destroying Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong.

Until late at night, Gao Chong was still reading by candlelight at night, the more he understood Xiao Liang, the more Gao Chong despised Xiao Mian.

It wasn’t long before Xiliang was subjugated. Xiao Zong’s father, Xiao Cong, was the last emperor of Xiliang. He perished in the seventh year of Kaihuang’s reign. It has only been more than [-] years since then. The founding emperor of Xiliang, Xiao Xi, was Emperor Wu Xiao Yan's grandson, born in Zheng Miao Hong.

Xiao Mian basically relied on the influence of his ancestors to become the overlord of Jingchu. His territory and military strength were once the strongest among the heroes in the late Sui Dynasty, because Xiao Liang's influence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Jingchu. The reason why the common people gathered together after the Liangzi banner was raised.

With such superior conditions, it even has an advantage over Li Yuan. Xiao Xian played a good hand of cards to a pulp. First, he was unable to restrain many kings of the opposite sex, causing them to become big. He rebelled against Liang and turned to Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that those talents in Xiaoliang, such as Cen Wenwen, Ning Changzhen, Zhou Faming, Qiu He, Gao Shilian, etc., are all outstanding talents. It's only because Xiao Mian can't know how to use them well, and finally ended up in ruins. fate.

Even though Xiao Mian's ability is mediocre, if he has a better vision and surrenders the land early, he can enjoy the rest of his life in peace like Wang Hua, the king of Wu who ruled in southern Anhui. In Xiazhou of the Tang Dynasty, Tang and Liang have turned against each other ever since.

Seeing this, Gao Chong rubbed the center of his brows, and couldn't help grinning, if he went to join Xiao Xian, he would be taking credit for it.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the study door.

Gao Chong vigilantly supported the horizontal knife on the table, "Who?" Gao Chong ordered Gao Xiong and the others to go to bed early. He never needed someone to serve him when he read at night. , was also assassinated several times, whether it was the former Sui Dynasty, or Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, there are still loyal loyalties.

"Lang Jun, this concubine made soup..." Wei Gui said softly at the door.

Gao Chong frowned, "Come in."

Wei Gui pushed the door open and came in, and took out a bowl of soup from the east food box with light hands, "I don't know what flavor your husband likes, but at night, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I made a bowl of gold and jade soup to warm your spleen and stomach. Taste the concubine's craft."

Gao Chong took the bowl and said with a smile: "My lady has a heart", and then took a bite with a spoon, his eyes lit up immediately, and he praised directly: "It's really good, my lady is good at craftsmanship", after saying that, he buried his head in his mouth and ate it.

Seeing that Gao Chong liked it, Wei Gui was also very happy. He raised his hair around his ears and smiled, "This golden jade soup is made with yams, chestnuts and other warming foods and sheep juice. It is most suitable for warming the stomach at night. Mr. Lang nice! You love it".

Gao Chong put down the bowl and watched Wei Gui lift up his hair, his heart moved, and he hugged her, "My sister still loves people."

It's Wei Gui who has been around for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but blushed. Gao Chong laughed when he saw this, picked him up, and went back to the bedroom.

For Wei Gui, Gao Chong naturally accepted it frankly. He is not a Taoist teacher, and it is extremely normal to give Ji concubine at this time, not to mention that Wei Gui was born in Jingzhao Webster, and Jingzhao Webster was from Kansai Sixth Form. One of the common surnames.

The Gao family in Bohai is now a representative of the Kanto family. Gao Chong's mother is from the Xue family in Kansai, and Gao Chong's wife, Princess Wanchun, is from the Li family in Kansai.

Now that Gao Chong and Na Weigui started, the Gao family established contact with the Kansai family again, which is conducive to easing the relationship and leaving room for it, which is beneficial and harmless. It is obvious that Li Shimin has also considered this. After all, Li Shimin is now relying on the Kanto people. some more.

Jingzhao Webster's prefect was in Jingzhao Chang'an, and he had always had a close relationship with Li Yuan. After Li Yuan raised his army, Jingzhao Webster responded positively, so many of Webster's children were promoted to rank.

Among them, Wei Ting, who came from Wei's Xiaoyao Gongfang in Jingzhao, is one of the best, but Wei Ting has been friends with Prince Li Jiancheng since he was a child. It's a proper princeling.

Wei Ting is just one of the representatives. Although the aristocratic family will place multiple bets, most of the aristocratic families in Kansai seem to have been paid by Li Jiancheng.

And Wei Gui came from Jingzhao Wei's Yun Gongfang, and he came from the same house as Wei Nizi, who was accepted by Li Shimin. He was also a descendant of Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Yun. Ye, Yun Gongfang is still full of talents, and Wei Yijie, the current servant of the Ministry of Punishment, is Wei Gui's obedient father.

Li Shimin took Wei Nizi and bestowed Wei Gui on Gao Chong, the meaning of which was self-evident, how could Gao Chong not know.

The same Gao Chong also wrote down Luoyang's affairs in detail, and ordered Kuaima to send him home to tell Gao Junya. As for Wei Gui, Gao Chong pushed all his brains on Li Shimin, after all, Gao Chong is a gentleman.

As the candles in the bedroom were blown out, there was nothing to say all night.

After being stationed in Luoyang for several days, the situation stabilized. While Li Shimin was busy making contacts, he was preparing for his return to the imperial court and held the much-anticipated prisoner offering ceremony. Didn't even wake up for morning exercise.

Unexpectedly, the imperial decree from Chang'an had already arrived, and Gao Chong was surprised that he couldn't even participate in the prisoner offering ceremony.
