First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 462 Four Long History

...

When rumors about the clan's joint name were raging, Li Yuan finally responded by making major personnel adjustments, which caused a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition.

The most shocking thing was the release of several old ministers, four of whom were the most eye-catching.

They are Shizhong Yuwenshi and the history of the Governor of Youzhou, Gao Junya, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the history of the Governor of Yizhou, General Yang Gongren of the Left Guards and the history of the Governor of Liangzhou, and Gao Shilian of Yongzhou. And the history of the Governor's Mansion.

Later, people called it the Four Long Histories.

Without exception, the four veterans who were released were all important ministers in the court.

Among them, Yuwen Shiji was the minister of the Zhengshitang, Yang Gongren was the general in charge of the defense of the capital, Gao Shilian was the governor of the state capital in the Gyeonggi area, and Gao Junya, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the head of the six selected officials.

And these four people are all deeply involved with Qin Wangfu, Yuwen Shiji has been concurrently serving as the Sima of Qin Wangfu.

Li Shimin's side concubine is Yang Gongren's niece, who has given birth to Li Ke and Li Min. Yang Gongren has always been close to Li Shimin.

Gao Shilian is the uncle of Princess Qin. Gao Junya doesn't have much contact with the Qin Palace, but everyone knows that his son Gao Chong is Li Shimin's number one confidant.

After the personnel transfer of more than ten people, Li Yuan once again decreed to depose the prince of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and demote him to the Duke of Jiuyuan County, and imprisoned him in Chang'an.

On that day when the Changlin Sect mutinied, Li Yuanji saw Li Yuan coming, so he knew that things must be done. Before the news came, he returned to the Qi Palace, gathered hundreds of cronies, ran out of the city, and fled into Zhongnan Mountain to hide. It has been five or six days, and he is still at large.

Xue Wanche, Yu Wenbao and Xue Shi, the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion who fled together with Li Yuanji, the other two were nothing but Xue Wanche was in the same boat, which made Gao Chong very puzzled.

At the same time, Gao Chong also looked at Li Yuanji with admiration. Now it seemed that this perverse and violent King Qi was more courageous than Li Jiancheng. This might also have something to do with Li Yuanji's long-term leadership abroad.

Because history deviates from the track, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng did not lead the army out of customs, and had no military achievements. On the contrary, Li Yuanji went out of Beijing to join the feudal clan, stationed in Shandong for several years, and pecked with Xu Yuanlang in Shandong. You come to me The previous attacks lasted for several years.

In the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan, Mrs. Xue took the toddler Gao Zhun with a worried look on his face, "Mr. Lang, it's too far away to go to Bashu, you...".

Gao Junya smiled very easily and said: "Don't worry, lady, it's not like I have never been to Bashu, and now the roads to Shu are smooth, the official post along the way is complete, and the conditions are much better than before."

"That's right, don't worry, Auntie. Bashu was recruited by Aye himself. You won't suffer if you go to Bashu. It's the land of abundance there." Gao Chong hugged Gao Zhun who was licking his fingers, and comforted him with a smile.

Gao Junya comforted his wife and children, and went to the backyard to bid farewell to the old lady. Mrs. Lu was over 70 years old and rarely left the hospital. She only tended some flowers and plants in the yard every day.

After biding farewell to his family, Gao Chong sent him all the way to Wuliting outside Chang'an City. Gao Junya said angrily, "The Land of Abundance...you put it lightly."

Gao Chong smiled sarcastically, "Isn't that to comfort Auntie, lest she worry all day long."

Gao Junya nodded slightly, "When I'm not at home, you should take it with you. In addition, you should pay more attention to your grandmother's body. She is not young and can't stand any trouble."

Gao Chong responded naturally, "Aye, don't worry, I will be the pillar if you are not at home, and my child will be here for everything."

Gao Junya looked back in the direction of Chang'an City, and sighed, "When I come back, I'm afraid the world will be turned upside down."

"Soon," Gao Chong said hopefully, "The sage's statement is already very clear, the Great Tang Sutra will not be turbulent, but Aye, when you go to Yizhou, you have to work with Dou Gui. Dou Gui has a staunch personality. You don't want to be bullied."

Gao Junya said indifferently: "I obey the law myself, so what does he have to do with his staunchness, besides, isn't he from your Qin Palace? He shouldn't be too harsh on me."

Gao Chong nodded, "What Aye said is that Dou Gui and I have fought against Xue Ju with him. As long as he does not violate the principle, he is easy to get along with. Later, I will ask King Qin to send him a letter explaining that Jing In the middle of the situation, I believe he will understand."

"When did I need you to take care of me?" Gao Junya laughed when she heard this.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, Gao Junya was ordered to appease Bashu, and Li Yuan set up the Yizhou General Manager's Office. In the third year of Wude, the general manager's office was dismissed and Yizhou Daoxingtai was installed. Li Shimin was the Minister of Xingtai.

At the beginning of this year, Li Yuan went on strike and set up Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, governor of ten prefectures including Yizhou, Mian, and Jia, and Dujun, Nanning, and Huizhou prefectures. Metropolitan Governor.

Dou Guijue was granted the title of Duke of Bing. He was the elder brother of Empress Mu Dou's clan and Li Shimin's uncle. He followed Li Shimin to defeat Xue Ju and Wang Shichong, and then put down the southwestern bureaucratic chaos. It is the out-and-out King Qin Party.

Besides, Dou Gui got along very well with Gao Chong when he conquered Xue Ju, so Gao Chong was not worried about Gao Junya going to Yizhou.

If you go to Youzhou, then you need to worry. After all, Li Yi, king of Yan County in Youzhou, has a good relationship with Li Jiancheng.

However, I believe that Li Yuan also took these interpersonal reasons into consideration. Yu Wenhuaji proclaimed himself emperor back then and ordered Yuwen Shihe to collect food.

As for Yang Gongren, the son of the former Sui Guan Wang Yang Xiong, he served as governor of Ganzhou in the reign of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty. He was very familiar with Liangzhou. For affairs, Yang Gongren was appointed as the general manager of Liangzhou. Yang Gongren had outstanding achievements in Liangzhou.

It can be said that Li Yuan sent the four people to the frontier with good intentions. Once the center changes, with these four people sitting in secluded areas and benefiting the four prefectures, the safety of the frontier can be guaranteed.

After bidding farewell to his father, Gao Chong went straight to Chengqian Hall in the imperial palace. At this time, Li Shimin already understood the cause and effect of the clan's joint names. He was very grateful to Gao Chong. Put outside the southwest.

Gao Junya is different from other people. Gao Junya's only connection with Qin Palace is Gao Chong. People like Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and others are still in the center. Logically speaking, Gao Junya has never had any contact with Li Shimin, so he should not It's the ability to let it out. After all, Gao Junya is second only to Pei Ji among the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou.

"Yuzhi, Duke Yan has already left?" Li Shimin asked apologetically after seeing the ceremony and taking his seat.

Gao Chong frowned and shook his head and sighed: "My father is over fifty years old, and I still have to go to such a remote place, I am really worried."

Seeing this, Li Shimin was even more apologetic, and said bluntly: "Yuzhi planned for me, and this has implicated Duke Yan. I will never forget this kindness."
