First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 404 Dali Temple Shaoqing

...

Seeing Li Xiaogong's expression like this, Gao Chong's heart moved, he had some vague guesses, and asked directly: "But the auxiliary thief is chasing and biting randomly?"

After Fu Gong Er was captured, Li Xiaogong ordered people to interrogate, trying to find out some things, such as the party?property?

Just now the personal guard said that this was Fu Gong Er's confession, but Li Xiaogong's expression changed when he saw it, it must be Fu Gong Er who said something extraordinary.

Li Xiaogong's expression was a little inexplicable, as if he hesitated.

Gao Chong frowned, "Your Majesty doesn't trust me? Or do I have no right to know?"

As the commander-in-chief of Jianghuai Road, in charge of military affairs, Gao Chong naturally has the right to know, but he is a little displeased with Li Xiaogong's vague precautions.

Li Xiaogong heard the words and handed over the confession, "You must not misunderstand, it's just a matter of great importance."

Gao Chong took a look and was furious, "This thief deserves to die, he will definitely cause riots if he stalks and bites indiscriminately, the king can't believe it."

It was Gao Chong who guessed right, and Fu Gong Er, who knew he was going to die, wanted to pull some people back before his death, and actually implicated several ministers of the DPRK and China in his confession.

Even Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda was implicated, saying that he would separate the southeast and restore the Chen Dynasty. Isn't this nonsense, the Chen Dynasty has been destroyed for 40 to [-] years.

Even outsiders like Chen Shuda were involved, not to mention Du Fuwei, Kan Leng and others. None of them were spared. In his confession, Fu Gong Er said that Du Fuwei had a secret letter ordering him to rebel.

Gao Chong snorted. After Ximen Junyi surrendered, he deliberately went home and took out the secret letter under the floor tiles. After verification, it was proved to be a forgery, and he was still here trying to frame him.

Li Xiaogong's face was serious, "Believe it or not, what I say doesn't matter, let the saint decide."

Seeing Li Xiaogong's attitude, Gao Chong couldn't help being a little annoyed, but there was no need for him to conflict with Li Xiaogong.

Gao Chong thought for a while and then said directly: "Right now, there is only Yue Prefecture left in Jianghuai, so I can't help but go back to the court and report everything to the saint. Your Majesty will continue to sit in Jianghuai, what do you think?"

Li Xiaogong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "It's my job, I believe you will be able to handle this matter well."

Gao Chong looked at the delighted Li Xiaogong, sighed, turned and left.

Li Xiaogong is superior in both literary and martial arts, as well as in character, but this problem of extravagance and money-making is too disgusting.

Gao Chong is the commander-in-chief of the army and the son-in-law of a sage with a high status. He is the second person in Jianghuai after Li Xiaogong.

If it was an ordinary person, Li Xiaogong would have dismissed him long ago.

However, Li Xiaogong respected Gao Chong quite a lot, as long as Gao Chong stayed in Jianghuai, Li Xiaogong felt constrained and couldn't let go of his hands and feet.

That being the case, then let him go. Fortunately, extravagance is not a fatal problem. Gao Chong acted quickly and led Jingzhou troops back the next day.

After sending Gao Chong away, Li Xiaogong only felt relaxed. As a member of the clan and royal family, he has made great achievements in pacifying Jingchu and Dingjianghuai. If that is the case, it shouldn't be a big problem to live a little extravagantly.

On the third day after Gao Chong left, Li Xiaogong ordered the construction of a house in Stone City, the old city of Danyang. Although the regulations of the house were not exceeded, the level of luxury was far better than that of the palace in Chang'an.

At this time, Jiangnan had not yet been completely calmed down. While Li Xiaogong ordered the conquest of Yuezhou Zuoyouxian, he wanted to build houses. The pressure on the Jianghuai people who had just experienced turmoil increased sharply.

The Tang army came to Kuaiji City and attacked for several days, but it was still difficult to break through the city. Although Zuo Youxian was a wandering Taoist priest, he still had some skills and defended the city.

Just defending one state, how to resist Datang, which has more than [-] states, will be defeated sooner or later.

Fugong Er had long been ambitious, but he made up his mind to rebel against Tang Dynasty at the instigation of Zuo Youxian. As the chief culprit, Zuo Youxian could not escape death, but Zuo Youxian was good at guessing people's hearts.

Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong's extravagant life style is known to everyone, Zuo Youxian came up with Li Xiaogong's idea, and ordered people to collect hundreds of beauties from the land of Wuyue, and dozens of boxes of belongings, and presented them to Li Xiaogong, expressing his willingness to leave the city and surrender, just asking Spare my life.

Complacent Li Xiaogong saw Yingying Yanyan's hundreds of Jiangnan beauties, as well as dozens of boxes of belongings, and was instantly tempted. After receiving the benefits, he had to do things. Li Xiaogong will release Zuo Youxian based on his reputation, and completely regain Jiangnan.

So far, the Huaihe River in the north, the East China Sea in the east, Bashu in the west, and Lingnan in the south, are all under the rule of Li Xiaogong.

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the Tang Dynasty is under the control of Li Xiaogong. As a result, some speculators moved their minds, and the first one was the released Zuo Youxian.

Zuo Youxian immediately wrote a letter and presented it, trying his best to seduce Li Xiaogong to proclaim himself emperor, Zuo Youxian didn't believe that there is such a loyal person in the world, sitting on half of the country and not being tempted.

But this Taoist obviously misunderstood Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong was only extravagant, but he had no ambitions, after reading the letter, he was furious, and ordered Zuo Youxian to be arrested and executed in public, as a warning to others.

Li Xiaogong didn't have the ambition of self-reliance at all, he executed Zuoyou Immortal Empress, and still enjoyed life in his courtyard in Stone City.

The imperial decree of reward has also arrived, Li Yuan praised Li Xiaogong's great achievements, and promoted Li Xiaogong to be the governor of Yangzhou, governing the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Xiaogong ruled the south of the Yangtze River in a legitimate name, and his life became more and more extravagant. Every day, there were warblers, birds and swallows, delicious food and wine.

In Chang'an, after Gao Chong's efforts, Li Yuan decreed to behead Fu Gong Er, and ignored the matter of Fu Gong Er's framing and biting.

Du Fuwei, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Leng and other old Jianghuai ministers were very grateful. Du Fuwei, who had been demoted to a commoner, came to pay his respects. As for Chen Shuda and others who had vaguely heard the wind, they were even more grateful.

Although it is obvious that Fu Gong Er is a false accusation, it is no small matter when it involves treason, especially Chen Shuda, a descendant of the royal family, is walking on thin ice.

In view of the merits of Gao Chong's trip, Li Yuan issued a decree to grant rewards, increase the number of public food towns in Bohai County by [-] households, call Gao Chong back to the court, and pay homage to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Although the grade has dropped from the third-rank Shangzhou Governor to the fourth-rank Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Beijing officials have always been more noble than external officials.

Moreover, Dali Temple ranks among the Jiuqing, and is in charge of criminal and prison cases, with a high position and weight.

As the assistant official of Dali Temple Minister, Shaoqing is also a high-ranking official.

Gao Chong is extremely happy about this, after all his parents, wife and children are all in Chang'an, Gao Chong would not be willing to be separated from his family for a long time.

Yan Guogong's mansion, looking at the big boy crawling all over the ground, Gao Chong grinned happily, "When Xing'er grows up, how can I send him to be a teacher? My son Gao Youzhi will be a teacher in the future. Those who want to come out will enter the phase."

Li Xiuwan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Lang Jun has such high expectations, Xing'er must be under pressure. I only hope that he will be safe and healthy for a lifetime."

Gao Chong also nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't help smacking his lips when he saw the big boy with a lot of fun.

"This boy's grandfather is the emperor, his grandfather is the prime minister, and his father will also be the prime minister in the future, so he feels comfortable."
