First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Ideas for Chapter 444 Regulations
...

After listening to Han Yucheng's words, Gao Chong frowned, and sighed: "General Cheng is drunk and utters inappropriate remarks. Now he is in prison and doesn't know it, which is pitiful."

Han Yucheng's face froze when he heard the words, and he bowed his head silently.

"You go down first," Gao Chong said with his hands behind his back: "Take time to take the brothers to the Hero Pavilion for a meal, and just say I agree."

Han Yucheng suddenly smiled and said: "Then I will thank Gao Shaoqing on behalf of the brothers." He immediately went down happily. He is a mere prisoner from the ninth rank. Dayton was still under pressure.

Han Jicheng was very discerning, and took all the jailers away, leaving only Gao Chong and the sleeping Cheng Zhijie.

"Okay, stop pretending," Gao Chong walked in and said with a light smile.

Cheng Zhijie moved his ears, laughed, and turned over very nimbly, seeing that this man was not at all like a big black fat man weighing [-] to [-] jin.

"How do you know I'm faking it?" Cheng Zhijie glanced at the prison door and asked with a smile.

"Who's snoring frequency is always the same?" Gao Chong shook his head and smiled: "Besides, others don't know, and I don't know you, Cheng Yizhen. Tell me, what are you thinking this time?"

The prison cell was very clean, with clean straw mats on the floor. It seemed that Han Jicheng would come here very much. Gao Chong sat down and stared at Cheng Zhijie.

Cheng Zhijie rubbed his hands, laughed and said, "Youzhi is really amazing, I, Cheng, can't hide my thoughts from you."

After confirming that there was no one around, Cheng Zhijie came to sit beside him, and said in a low voice: "I discussed this with Yuchi Laohei and the others. We feel that the King of Qin is too benevolent and righteous. When faced with the prince's persecution, he always blindly Give in, this time the fallen horse is lucky to be rescued by You, if there is an accident, our lives will be in danger."

If Gao Chong moved, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you want to force King Qin to take the initiative?"

"Brother You, this is you," Cheng Zhijie clicked his tongue and gave a thumbs up.

"Although the crown prince conspired repeatedly, all of them were resolved by the King of Qin, but we always felt that the King of Qin was too passive, so I intentionally provoked the saint, sent me to prison, and provoked disputes. I don't believe that the King of Qin can still sit still." .

After finishing speaking, Cheng Zhijie looked smug and held his chin high, as if to say: Come on, praise me.

Unexpectedly, Gao Chong shook his head and sighed when he heard the words, "I understand your thoughts, but if you do this, you will be injustice to the King of Qin."

Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stood up abruptly, very unbelievable, and asked in surprise, "You are not one of those rotten scholars who are at a loss, why do you say such pedantic words? You are also a famous general for a while, don't you know?" The truth is that it is better to strike first, and then to suffer disaster."

Gao Chong waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, "Yizhen, don't be impatient, listen to me."

"Tell me," Cheng Zhijie sat down and said angrily, "Don't tell me about benevolence, righteousness and morality, Lao Cheng won't listen."

Gao Chong had long thought about it. If the original trajectory was the same, in the last years of Wude, all the people in the Qin Palace would be demoted to various places, Li Shimin was weak, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng was in the sky, and he did not make any mistakes. In this case, Gao Chong is Approved of mutiny to seize power.

But the situation is a little different now, history has deviated from the track, the offensive and defensive trends have changed, the princelings such as Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others have all been relegated, and the Qin Palace is in full swing. Under such circumstances, Gao Chong does not want to use force.

After all, in history, Li Shimin only had the stain of killing his brothers and imprisoning his father. If this stain was removed, Li Shimin would be a well-deserved emperor through the ages. True, this cannot be defended.

Now that the situation is different, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, has existed in name only, so why not try to avoid this stain.

Another way, such as overthrowing Li Jiancheng in an upright manner, and succeeding to the throne in a legitimate way, instead of killing brothers, killing brothers and imprisoning fathers, which has attracted criticism.

Gao Chong was about to tell Cheng Zhijie what was in his mind truthfully. He knew that Cheng Zhijie was a hardcore King of Qin faction and would never turn his back on him.

After finishing speaking, Gao Chong sighed straight away: "So, Yizhen, do you understand what I mean? Once you take the initiative to attack and use force to seize power, it will be a stain that cannot be erased no matter how it is. No matter how you try to explain it forcefully, it will not be able to stop the people talking, and history will record everything as it is.”

Cheng Zhijie was completely stunned when he heard it. It took a long time before he came back to his senses, swallowed, and said, "It's you, you think so far."

"What we are going to do is a great cause that will last forever," Gao Chong said bluntly: "Although Wang Mang proclaimed himself emperor temporarily, so what, he will remain infamous forever. Although Zhuge Liang died before he was born, his name will go down in the annals of history.

A great man, walking between heaven and earth, in every word and deed, you should keep your body upright, so that even if your body dies, your name will hang down on bamboo and silk."

Perhaps in the past, Gao Chong sneered at these things. He only cared about the result, not the process. As the saying goes, no matter it is a conspiracy, it is a clever plan to achieve the goal.

Later, after Gao Junya's in-depth education, Gao Chong came to his senses. Although he was not going to be a saint, he knew very well that one should have a certain strategy and not abuse it.

Cheng Zhijie frowned, thinking deeply about life.

He was born in a rich family in Jeju. His great-grandfather Cheng Xingguan worshiped Yanzhou Sima of the Northern Qi Dynasty, his grandfather Cheng Zheguan worshiped the Northern Qi Jinzhou Sima, and his father Cheng Louguan worshiped the Northern Qi Jeju Dazhongzheng.

He has also read poetry and books since he was a child, but Cheng Zhijie is obsessed with martial arts and has no intention of learning.

This guy has a vicious vision, and he saw early on that Wang Shichong could not accomplish anything. Before the Battle of Hulaoguan, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in time, followed Li Shimin wholeheartedly, performed military exploits, and was named the Duke of the Kingdom because of his meritorious service.

Since then, he has successively held important positions such as the General of the Zuo Lingjun, the General of the Zuo Tunwei, and the hereditary governor of Puzhou. He lived to be 77 years old and was buried with Zhaoling, posthumously named Xianggong.

Xiang is a first-class posthumous posthumous posthumous title. Xiang is called Xiang because of meritorious deeds, Xiang is called Xiang because of virtue in building up land, and Xiang is called Xiang because of labor in armor. This evaluation can be said to be quite high.

After Gao Chong's kind words, Cheng Zhijie suddenly became enlightened, and sighed with emotion: "Listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years of books. You have a lofty realm, and Lao Cheng is ashamed."

Gao Chong laughed and said: "You can pull it down, just don't call me a sour and rotten scholar from the bottom of your heart."

Cheng Zhijie shook his head very seriously, and praised: "Old Cheng is not a brainless person. I am deeply touched this time. You are a real celebrity, not a sour scholar."

"Stop", Gao Chong hurriedly raised his hand and said with a smile, "Leave this topic alone, let's deal with the matter at hand first."

"We took it for granted this time, You Zhi, tell me what Lao Cheng should do next," Cheng Zhijie admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.
