First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 490
...

Seeing that Gao Chong was only focused on chatting with Xiao Rengui, Xue Yuanzhang and Xue Yuanzhang looked at each other, Xue Yuanzhang pouted towards the door, Xue Yuanchang immediately understood, and the two moved cautiously towards the door.

After leaving the front hall, Xue Yuanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "What is Gao Chong trying to do?"

Xue Yuanzhang looked sad, "The visitor is not kind, you should do two things quickly, first, send Yuan Yu away, the farther the better, and make sure no one gets the news. Second, get Princess Yi If the company's accounts are cleared up, people must not be caught."

Xue Yuanchang nodded vigorously, and then said: "Then we forced the village to be built?"

"Although this matter is disgraceful, it failed after all. What can he do? Only those two things are the most terrible. Go quickly," Xue Yuanzhang urged with a frown.

Xue Yuanchang had always been the only one who looked up to this cousin, and when he heard the words, he naturally responded, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to leave without permission." At the door of Xue's house, Gao's Buqu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Bold, I am the order of the princess's family, and you are an official in the son-in-law's family. How dare you stop me?" Xue Yuanchang reprimanded sternly.

However, this group of trilogy came from the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan, and they were personally attached to the Gao family, and their nationality belonged to the private register of the Gao family, so the trilogy of the Gao family belonged to the Gao family.

"Xing Tong" said: "The trilogy of slaves and maidservants is tied to the master. The trilogy is said to be a cheap product, and the surname is given to be good without leaving the master." In short, the trilogy of the Duke of Yan is The Gao family's private soldiers only obey the orders of the master's family.

Faced with the intimidation of a seventh-rank princess's family order, this team didn't even blink an eye. He followed Gao Chong to fight in the north and south. How could he care about Xue Yuanchang if he had never seen such a big man.

Seeing these people with stern expressions, standing motionless at the door, Xue Yuanchang had no choice but to turn back bitterly.

"Xue Jialing is back?" Seeing Xue Yuanchang go and come back, Gao Chong said with a smile on his face: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the result will be soon."

Erxue Wenyan felt even more uneasy. Only then did Xue Yuanjue notice that the commander of the personal guard beside Gao Chong was missing along the way. He seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly sweated profusely. He asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Commander Gao?" Where is it? The next official will order people to prepare wine and food."

"It's okay," Gao Chong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to prepare his part, he's going to do some things that need to be done."

"Rengui, how about we spend the night at your house tonight?" Gao Chong looked at Xue Rengui and asked with a smile.

The three-entry house of the Xue family occupies a very large area. After all, the family of officials and officials was very wealthy back then.

It’s just that after Xue Gui’s death, his family’s fortunes fell, and only the empty house and a few boxes of books are the most precious. Official families often build extra rooms for guests to rest temporarily. There are more than a dozen vacant rooms in the side yard of Xue’s house. room.

Xiao Rengui's face froze when he heard this, and he said bluntly: "It's okay for your benefactor to stay in the humble house, but there is not even a bed in the wing room of my house...".

"It doesn't matter", Gao Chong said with a smile: "It's good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Gao Chong immediately ordered someone to buy food, and this time Gao Chong could really feel Xue Rengui's appetite, for a bucket of millet rice, Xue Rengui killed half of the bucket by himself.

After a while, Mrs. Liu woke up and came to thank him with force, Xue Yuanzhang and the two were fidgeting.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu took a deep look at these two people, and didn't say anything surprising, but thanked Gao Chong for his help.

At this time, Kaohsiung, who had disappeared for a day, finally came back, and the first thing he saw when he entered the door was glaring at Xue Yuanchang and the two, "Mr. Lang, the fugitive Xue Shi is hiding in the Princess Manor in the west of the city and has been captured."

Xue Yuanjiang and the two were shocked when they heard the words, and they were terrified.

Xue Yuanju got up immediately, and asked in surprise: "Xue Shi? But Xue Shi, the former guard of the Qi Palace? This rebellious party is actually in this county?"

Gao Chong looked at him expressionlessly, and watched him continue to perform.

"Yuan Chang, what's going on? Xue Shi is a rebellious party, why is he in the princess manor?" Xue Yuanjue sternly shouted.

"I-I don't know about this." Xue Yuanchang turned pale, looked at Gao Chong and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't know Xue Yuanyu, and I don't know how he is in the manor either."

"How do you know that Xue Shibiao's name is Yuanyu if I don't know you?" Gao Xiong scolded with staring eyes.

Xue Yuanchang was stunned.

Gao Chong ignored the two of them, turned his head to look at Liu Shi, and "borrowed the front hall of your mansion".

Mrs. Liu complied, and took Xue Rengui back to the backyard in a very sensible way.

"Bring Xue Shi up",
A burly man was brought in tightly bound, his expression changed when he saw Gao Chong, and he asked in a deep voice: "Gao Youzhi, are you really going to kill them all? Don't forget, you and I The home is the in-laws."

"The crown prince has ordered to forgive the gangsters of the second culprit, why didn't you voluntarily surrender?" Gao Chong stared at Xue Shi and asked.

"Surrender?" Xue Shi grinned, "Others may have a way out, but I may not."

Following Li Yuanji's suicide and Yu Wenbao's confession, the truth of the mutiny has been revealed to the world. It was Xue Shi, the guard of the Qi Palace, who came forward and tricked Li Yuanji into using poisonous tricks.

The intention is to poison Li Shimin first, and then report Li Jiancheng, so as to achieve the goal of killing all the sage's sons and making the king of Qi the heir apparent.

"You will only implicate the family, what's the point?" Gao Chong scolded with a frown.

"It's better to live than to die," Xue Shi scolded, "It's nothing more than a winner and a loser, what? You want to track down my Xue family?"

"Gao Siqing, I really don't know when he fled to this county, I don't know," Xue Yuan said seriously.

"Exactly, although I am the princess's family order, I did not stay in the manor. Maybe he sneaked in privately." Xue Yuanchang also calmed down at this time, and continued: "Or, someone else helped him in. Please ask Gao Siqing to investigate clearly."

"What do you mean?" Gao Chong rolled his eyes, "You mean the princess Yisi's people are hiding fugitives?"

"The lower officials dare not", Xue Yuanchang hastily bowed down.

Gao Chong sneered, "I won't waste my time with you, Kaohsiung, take these three people down and send them to Xue's house. I believe my older cousin is a smart man."

"Gao Siqing, this official is the official of the imperial court, how can you dispose of it without authorization?" Xue Yuanchang was shocked when he heard the words, and struggled hastily.

"A silverfish, is your brain eaten by moths?" Gao Chong laughed out of breath.

"First, my official position is Dali Siqing, in charge of officials and prisons.

Second, my official is the ambassador of Daoxingtai Chuzhi in Eastern Shaanxi, who is in charge of patrolling and inspecting Chuzhi.

Third, there are only two people who deal with you, one is the current prince, the other is the head of the Xue family, and I am only arresting you.

Do you understand? "

Xue Yuanchang nodded blankly, Xue Yuanzheng's face was ashen, he knew very well that the family would lose his pawn and protect the commander, and it was absolutely impossible to hate the prince because of the three of them.

"Gao Siqing, Lingtang is also from the Xue family. I heard that you have an inseparable relationship with the eldest child of my Xue family. You are like brothers. Why do you do things so badly?" Xue Yuan said excitedly: "You turn a blind eye Close your eyes and leave here, I, Mrs. Xue, will definitely remember your kindness."

Among the famous Three Phoenixes in Hedong, among them, Xue Shou is called Changchu. Currently, the official worships the crown prince Zhan Shizhu, and most people in the world call Xue Shou as Changchu, just like Zhuge Liang of Crouching Dragon.

Xue Yuanjing, who was known as 鹓鶵, was one of the nineteen scholars of the Qin Palace before, and now he is an official worshiper of the crown prince Sheren.

In addition, Xue Deyin, known as the duck, was originally the work of Zuo Lang, the king of Yue Yang Tong, and later attached to Wang Shichong. After Wang Shichong usurped the throne, Xue Deyin wrote all the military books and feathers of the puppet Zheng. After Luoyang was pacified, Xue Deyin was punished for his crimes.

In fact, with Xue Deyin's family background and reputation, Li Yuan could spare his life, but Xue Deyin really did too well. After his handwritten military letter, he belittled and even insulted Li Yuan, Li Yuan might be able to forgive him generously, but As a son of man, Li Shimin cannot spare him.

Xue Yuanchang, who was in a panic, saw Xue Yuanjiang's relationship, and immediately understood.

"Exactly, son-in-law, I am the order of the princess' family. If I get involved with this rebellious party, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the princess." Xue Yuanchang said very caringly.

"Girls, no matter what level they are, they deserve to mention the princess."

Hearing Xue Yuanchang's words, Gao Chong was furious, and smashed the rough porcelain bowl on Xue Yuanchang's head.

"I'll tell you, since I'm here, Xue Bobao knows what I mean, and he has already sent a letter to the Xue family. I believe that at this time, Xue Danian has prepared the family law in the Xue family's ancestral house. law, and then hand it over to the court for deliberation."

When Xue Yuanchang heard the words, he stared blankly, terrified, even though his forehead was dripping with blood, he just trembled and dared not speak.

Xue Shi also understood, his complexion was very complicated, and he finally sighed: "I wanted to make a dangerous plan to show off the family, but I died at the hands of the family, this is the fate of the family."

Hearing this, Xue Yuanjue also came to his senses, no longer struggled, just bowed his head and said: "Since this is the case, the lower officials pleaded guilty and harbored rebels, all because of Xue Yuanjue and Xue Yuanchang."

"You're smart?" Gao Chong laughed and said, "Is it just harboring the crime of rebelling against the party? The specific crimes are determined by Dali Temple itself, and it's not your turn to decide."

"Take my famous stab and send these three people to the Xue family. Remember, hand them over to Xue Danian, the head of the Xue family." Gao Chong instructed Gao Xiong.

"Second year in high school, go to Chengxi Manor to thoroughly investigate whether Xue Yuanchang is corrupt. You can start with Princess Yi Sicheng."

"Senior year, go to Taizhou as soon as possible, tell the situation here, and ask the state governor to thoroughly investigate the county magistrate Xue Yuanzhi."

The two teams of the Gao family's trilogy standing at the gate are leading the order.

In the 16th year of Emperor Kaihuang of the former Sui Dynasty, the land of Hedong was divided into Taizhou, which governed Boping, Daishan and other counties, and Daye was abolished in the first year.

In the fifth year of Wude, Longmen County was divided into Wanchun County, which belonged to Taizhou. Until the 17th year of Zhenguan, Taizhou was abolished, and Wanchun County was merged into Longmen County, which belonged to Jiangzhou.

This administrative division is very chaotic. In Gao Chong's subconscious mind, Taizhou?Isn't that in Jiangnan?But this Taizhou is not Taizhou. This place name first appeared in the first year of Yanhe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, when Yongzhou was changed to Taizhou, and then Puzhou was changed to Taizhou during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was changed many times later.

Although Xue's house has many houses, it can be said that the house is completely bare, the wing rooms are empty, there is not even a bed, only these walls seem to prove the glory of the past.

The personal guards had no choice but to borrow wooden planks from the village and lay bedding on them for Gao Chong to rest on. Gao Chong was naturally not picky about this, after all the conditions were even worse when marching and fighting.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Chong could vaguely hear cheers and applause. He probably guessed that this should be the morning exercise of the personal guards, and they competed with each other. When he got up to wash up, he ordered: "Go and tell them, this is someone else's house. Don't make any noise, so as not to disturb the master's house."

The guard who served was stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Lang, it's not that the brothers intended to do this, it's just that the young man of the Xue family is practicing martial arts. It's very obvious that the brothers are all watching and applauding."

"Xue Rengui practicing martial arts?" Gao Chong suddenly became interested, "Let's go and have a look", he hurriedly washed up and headed towards the west courtyard.

There is a martial arts practice field in the west courtyard of the Xue family. It can be seen that the Xue family has not abandoned the inheritance of Xue Andu. A gifted heir.

When he came to the west courtyard, he saw a group of guards applauding and applauding. Gao Chong didn't disturb them. Looking at the field, he saw Xue Rengui, who was shirtless and holding a wooden stick, dancing vigorously.

It's just that Gao Chong can see that this is not a stick technique, but more like a knife technique, but the next few moves of shoveling, counter-picking, and horizontal copying are not suitable for knives.

Suddenly, Gao Chong had a flash of inspiration, halberd technique?This must be the halberd method.

At that time, Xue Andu, the king of Hedong, fought against Shancheng with his bare arms, and killed Cao Shuang on his own.

He is famous all over the world for his martial arts, and the weapon he uses is the strange weapon - Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Fang Tian's painted halberd is not a conventional standard weapon, but a guard of honor.

The halberd commonly used on the battlefield in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties was the single-eared halberd, also known as the Qinglong halberd, which evolved from the Ge, and the double-eared halberd was the Fangtian halberd.

Fang Tianji is decorated with paintings and engravings, and it is used as a guard of honor.

This kind of Fangtian painted halberd is complex in shape and has many functions, requiring great strength and skill. It combines the functions of light weapons such as spears and heavy weapons such as axes and axe.

Users can fight head-on with heavy weapons such as Guduo, hammer, and axe, or compete with light weapons such as guns and spears in moves and skills, which have high requirements on the physical fitness and skills of the users.

Gao Chong once used Fang Tian's painted halberd in the martial arts arena, and his strength was barely enough, but he still didn't have the corresponding technique, so it was difficult to get the essentials.

At this time, the personal guards noticed Gao Chong's arrival and saluted one after another. Xue Rengui put away his moves, calmed down, put on his clothes and went forward to salute in a proper manner.

"No need to be too polite," Gao Chong asked with his hands behind his back, "Rengui, what you just practiced was halberd technique, right?"

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, and he raised his head proudly, "Grandfather really has good eyesight. I practice halberd technique, which was passed down from my ancestor King Hedong."

"Then why do you...".

Gao Chong looked at the wooden stick in Xue Rengui's hand. He realized it halfway through the sentence. He looked at a personal guard and ordered, "Go to the city to find a blacksmith and make three square halberds. The three square halberds need to be different. Sizes, different weights, suitable for ten, 15, and 20-year-olds."

The personal guard took the order and left.

The Xue family has been run down like this, so naturally there is no money left to build weapons.

Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he heard the words, he really wanted to own a real Fang Tianji, but at the same time he was very embarrassed, he scratched his head and said: "Grandpa, this, I really don't dare to ask for it anymore."

"A few halberds are nothing to me." Gao Chong suppressed his smile and said with a serious face: "It's just that you have to practice literature and martial arts every day, don't slack off, and you must be filial to your mother and maintain a righteous heart. Don't insult the reputation of your ancestor, the King of Hedong."

Liu Shi was very excited at the side, stepped forward and pulled Xue Rengui and knelt down on the ground, "Thank you for your kindness and great virtue".
