First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 475 Changan Xiaoxiaosheng

...

The waiter quickly brought the food plate, Li Shimin was very casual, and signaled Cui Dunhuang to take care of himself, and then slowly said that Gao Chong recommended Cui Dunli here just now.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Cui Dunli finally realized that his grandmother came from the Fanyang Lu family, and he did not expect to be cousins ​​with Gao Youzhi's grandmother.

After understanding the cause and effect, Cui Dunli was very grateful for Gao Chong's recommendation, and made up his mind in his heart that he would come to thank him later.

Li Shimin informed Cui Dunli of the situation in Youzhou without any concealment, and then asked directly: "Going to Youzhou is quite dangerous, I don't know how Anshang plans to deal with it?"

Cui Dunli wiped his mouth with a silk cloth, removed the food plate, and after a little deliberation, he said: "The king of Lujiang will never dare to blatantly resist the decree if he occupies the righteousness. It is expected that the king of Lujiang will not dare to act rashly."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, as long as he controls the military power and holds righteousness, he will not be afraid of Li Yuan's disobedience.

It has to be said that there is nothing wrong with Li Shimin and Cui Dunli's thinking. They have no military power and no righteousness. Li Yuan can only return to Beijing obediently. But all of this is based on Wang Junkuo's honesty.

However, Wang Junkuo was dishonest and irresponsible, and this was the crux of the problem.

The next day, Wang Junkuo officially resigned as the right-leading general and was about to go to Youzhou to take up his post. He booked a banquet on the lower floor of the Yingxiong Pavilion for his colleagues. Gao Chong happily attended the banquet.

Although Zhai Rang and Li Mi failed, this group of generals from Wagang is really a huge treasure. It can be said that without their help, the Qin Palace would not be where it is today.

Although there are some problems with Wang Junkuo's conduct, it's only for enemies. For brothers, Wang Junkuo really has nothing to say. After all, when he occupied Taihang Mountain, he was a well-known thief in the green forests all over the world. Apart from his sinister and vicious character, Wang Junkuo can be regarded as generous to his friends. It can be seen In the romances of later generations, the master of Lulin North Road in the world, the handsome green-robed, handsome bearded swordsman Wang Jun was not fabricated out of thin air.

"Come on, Yauzhi, what are you doing sitting there?" Wang Junkuo carried a jug of wine and stuffed it into Gao Chong's arms, "Come on, let's have a drink."

Cheng Zhijie put his arms around Gao Chong, "Brother You, I always think that there may be three phases in your Gao family at the same time, don't forget the old brothers."

Now that Gao Junya and Gao Shilian entered the political affairs hall at the same time, for a while, the Gao family had two high ministers, and the Bohai Gao family was firmly seated as the leader of the Kanto family.

What's more, there is Gao Chong, who ranks in the Jiuqing. With Gao Chong's meritorious service and relationship with Li Shimin, once the time is right, Gao Chong will definitely pay homage to the prime minister. scenery.

Hearing Cheng Zhijie's words, Luo Shixin pushed Gao Feng who was behind him forward, "Brother Yizhen is wrong, it should be Sixiang, our brother Jifu has both talents and virtues, and we will definitely be able to pay homage to him in the future."

Good guy, Luo Shixin is really right, Gao Jifu will be the prime minister later on, Gao Chong's heart throbs a little at the thought of a family of four ministers.

"Brother, you will impeach this guy tomorrow," Gao Chong pointed at Cheng Zhijie and scolded with a smile.

Gao Jifu had a calm personality, when he saw Gao Chong, Cheng Zhijie and others frolicking, he couldn't help laughing, so he pretended to be serious and said: "The minister of the imperial court, you can't just joke around."

Seeing this, everyone laughed even more and toasted frequently.

Gao Jifu served as a member of the Cao army in Zhizhou, and he had quite a lot of political achievements. Li Shimin recalled him to Chang'an to take up the post of supervisory censor. Shi is in charge of supervising officials, inspecting prefectures and counties, and cleaning up court rituals, etc., with wide powers and responsibilities.

Moreover, the position of supervisory censor is easy to make political achievements. Generally speaking, every mistake corrected is the political achievement of supervisory censor. This position is often used as a springboard. As long as you are a little bit good, you will basically have no problem entering the center of the three provinces.

A banquet didn't end until the curfew. After returning to their residences, Gao Chong went back to his study to write vigorously. He planned to start writing "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" from when Yang Jian proclaimed himself emperor. The meritorious deeds of the Gao family, and Yang Guang's persecution of the Gao family.

For Li Yuan's rebellion, he is even more colorful, describing Li Yuan as the emperor who saved the world, and then Li Shimin, Gao Junya and others. This game, Gao Chong believes that it can play an important role in public opinion.

People today don't have this kind of thinking. Gao Chong's method is borrowed from the newspaper media of later generations. As long as he can control public opinion, he can control prestige.

Now there is no such condition to start a newspaper, but at this time legendary novels are prevalent, so Gao Chong followed suit and came up with a romance novel, and included private goods in the book to increase his prestige invisibly.

As for the signature, it is naturally a pseudonym. Although Gao Chong expressed his fearlessness in front of Li Shimin, but take a look at this novel: "Standing on both sides of the Yellow River, hitting three prefectures and six prefectures with mace, Yumian Langjun Xiaomeng tastes , the double mace is invincible and Gao Youzhi".

Gao Chong couldn't help but blush.

It would be embarrassing for people to know that "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was written by him. Thinking of this, Gao Chong wrote his signature: Changan Xiaoxiaosheng.

The next day, it was Xiu Mu, and Gao Chong, as always, was dancing to the sound of chickens. His goal was Turks and Tubo. Perhaps he would not give up martial arts until the day when Turks and Tubo completely surrendered. At that time, he would be the prime minister in the mountains. It was a pleasure.

Today is Wang Junkuo leaving the city and leaving the capital, but the relationship between Gao Chong and him is only acceptable, not yet to the point of leaving the city to say goodbye, but I don't know what is going on with Cui Dunli. .

At this moment, Kaohsiung came to report in person: "Cui Dunli, the general manager, is visiting."

Gao Chong couldn't help being taken aback, looked at Gao Xiong, and confirmed again: "Cui Dunli?"

"Exactly," Kaohsiung replied in the affirmative.

"Go to the front hall to watch tea, and come when I change clothes," Gao Chong ordered as he walked into the inner room, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seems that this time the recommended talent has won the bid again. Li Shimin must have used Cui Dunli as an envoy, and Cui Dunli was grateful for telling the truth the reason, so he came to pay his respects.

"Lang Jun, is there a visitor?" Li Xiuwan fetched clean clothes for Gao Chong to change into, and said, "Then I'll call Xing'er and the others, so as not to run around and bump into the guests."

Gao Yanxing now takes his uncle Gao Zhun, who is one year younger than him, to fight around the mansion every day, looking like a bully.

"No problem", Gao Chong patted Li Xiuwan's hand and said with a smile: "The visitor is not an outsider, he is my cousin, I will take him to see grandma later, you go to the back and talk to grandma first, then It is said that Cui Zhongfang's grandson has come."
