Inside the palace.
Lu Lingxuan opened her mouth wide and looked at Hu Changren beside her in disbelief, unable to believe what she heard.
Is this guy also crazy??
Hu Changren was not aware of the huge impact his words had on Lu Lingxuan. He said with a smile: "I think this is a good thing, throwing all our enemies out."
He looked at Lu Lingxuan's shocked face and assumed that she was unwilling to be an enemy of Liu Taozi. He immediately raised his head and said proudly: "I know you are close to Liu Taozi, but I still want to remind you.
Now, my power spreads all over the government and the public, and with just one order from me, I can turn Liu Taozi into a white body!"
"Of course, this does not mean that I must be an enemy of Liu Taozi, but you have to see the situation clearly. You are in Yecheng, and Liu Taozi is at the frontier... Speaking of assistance, I can help you do more things.
If you are willing to help me deal with Liu Taozi, then I can leave all the important matters in the harem to you!!"
Lu Lingxuan looked at Hu Changren in front of her. He had changed a lot. Not long ago, he still looked worried. He was full of worries about things at home and abroad. He had some overall ideas and could win over others, so he was a good ally.
But within a short period of time, Hu Changren's whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes.
His face was ferocious, his eyes were fiery, and his whole person seemed to be distorted.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his unbridled arrogance and arrogance were unabashedly revealed.
Seeing Lu Lingxuan's eyes, Hu Changren was even a little angry. He raised his voice again and said loudly: "This is a gift given to you because you helped me win over those ministers. If it hadn't been like this, I would have
I can drive you out of the palace!"
"The places under Liu Taozi's administration are all remote and remote areas. The people of ten frontier fortresses are not as good as those of a Qing capital. As for the strong soldiers, Jinyang soldiers are here with me, so what are his soldiers?"
"Don't make a mistake!"
Hu Changren put down his harsh words and raised his head, waiting for the other party to lower his head.
Lu Lingxuan was finally sure now that Hu Changren was also crazy.
Like the previous emperors, he was contaminated with the poison of power and began to get lost in endless illusions.
Lu Lingxuan laughed and nodded slightly, "Of course I am willing to work for the king."
Hu Changren laughed loudly. At this moment, his laughter had the look of Emperor Wenxuan.
He immediately stated his request. What he wanted was very simple. He wanted to drive all the opposition parties, including Gao Jun, to the frontier fortress. This required Lu Lingxuan and the emperor to issue an edict, and then he, the chief minister, would handle it.
After driving these people away, the vacant positions can be filled with your own people.
When the time comes, the entire court will be filled with talented people whom you can trust, and there will no longer be traitors and traitors causing trouble, and the world will surely be in great order.
Lu Lingxuan recognized the other party's idea and praised his wisdom.
Hu Changren left the palace triumphantly.
Luo Tipo came out from behind the screen with a look of astonishment, looked at Hu Changren who was leading the soldiers away, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Hu Changren?"
Lu Lingxuan was still very calm, "A person like him, who suddenly has great power, must want to use it to the maximum extent to let others know how much power he has."
"Everyone flattered him, so he felt that he was really that powerful, knew everything, and was invincible."
Luo Tipo was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then what should we do?"
"Just do as he says."
"If we want Liu Taozi to stand up for us, we naturally need to give something in exchange. If we can't give soldiers, horses, food and grass, we can only give power. Hu Changren was afraid of Liu Taozi in his heart and took it as a shame, so he found an excuse for himself
.”
Lu Lingxuan pondered for a long time and then said: "If you can't take action against him right now, let's listen to him first and calm down the border fortress. As for Hu Changren, don't worry. If this continues, we may not need to take action, he will take care of himself."
He destroyed himself."
Luo Tipo nodded blankly.
………..
Outside the palace.
Gao Yan roared angrily.
The soldiers just stood in front of him, saying nothing, but did not let him in.
This time, the emperor used the same method against Gao Yun that Gao Zhan used against Gao Guiyan in the past.
Bypassing the other party, he directly issued an edict to the ministers and issued rewards. However, when the other party knew about this, it was already too late and they could not even enter the palace.
When Gao Guiyan drank wine for several days in his own house, he woke up and got in the car to go to the palace. Only then did he find out that he was already the governor of a foreign country and his power was taken away, so he could only leave in anger.
Now Gao Jun was handling government affairs all night long in the palace. After finishing his work, he came to the palace to report, but he was also blocked at the door and learned that he was already the minister of Xingtai.
The impact this had on Gao Wei can be imagined.
At this moment, Gao Xun was so angry that he could hardly control himself.
He has lost the demeanor of a wise king in the past, and even cursed.
The soldiers didn't dare to attack him, but they didn't dare to put him in either.
Gao Jun gasped for air, various emotions constantly intertwined in his mind. He looked up angrily at the city wall in front of him, ready to pounce on it.
"Yun!! It can't be like this! It can't be like this!!"
Gao Yan quickly jumped off the carriage and ran towards here, stopping Gao Yan who was about to attack the palace.
"Brother, you don't know, these people..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back home! We'll talk about it when we get back home!"
Gao Yan hurriedly called for someone and forced his brother to get into the carriage, which quickly disappeared.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and wiped their sweat.
If Gao Jun really stormed the palace regardless, then they really didn't know how to deal with it.
If you let him in, you will die. If you try to subdue him, you will die too...
At this moment, Gao Jun was sitting in the car, trembling with anger.
"Brother, Daxingtai, Beidao, they are crazy, crazy, this is a blatant attempt to split the temple! How can it be like this? How can it be like this?"
“Don’t they understand what Hokuto Dahondai is??”
"Hu Changren is seeking skin from a tiger..."
Gao Wei speaks very fast.
Gao Yan sat opposite, listening to his words, his face full of unspeakable pain.
"Hun...forget it, you can't be a powerful minister, Gao Rui can't do it, and neither can I."
"Haven't you noticed yet? There are no more of our people among the Three Platforms. I only just found out about this. Hu Changren has now won over many ministers and can decide the world's major events at will. This is the army in Yecheng
, also fell into the hands of Lou Rui and him."
"Even Gao Xiaoyu is hanging out with Lou Rui and others, who else can you use?"
"You can't give them power or money, and no one is willing to help you. No matter how big your ambition is, how can you accomplish it?"
Gao Yan raised his head and looked at Gao Yan.
"Is my brother going to leave me too?"
Gao Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't want to leave you, I just want to save your life. I know you are not afraid of death, and Gao Rui is not afraid of death, but if you die, no amount of ambition and ideas will be able to
It has been realized, and now you have no chance in Yecheng."
"Today's edict can be issued completely bypassing us, and tomorrow's edict to kill you can also keep you unaware."
"Hun, you have no chance of winning."
Gao Jun was speechless.
He looked out the car window blankly, "The emperor is no longer here, and everything falls into the hands of the ministers. In the past, it was said that the emperor was the root of the world's chaos, but now that the emperor is young, important matters are left to the ministers.
, the situation has become even worse. Many virtuous and important ministers in the court can do anything, but they cannot govern the world well? Why? "
"If tyrants and foolish kings are not the real cause of the world's downfall, then what is?"
Hearing Gao Yan's inquiry, Gao Yan remained silent.
Gao Jun did not expect his brother to solve his doubts. He answered his own questions.
"Brother, everything today is the root cause and cannot be cured."
"From Emperor Wenxuan to Emperor Xiaozhao to now, the country has been declining step by step. The disease has penetrated into the bone marrow and there is no cure."
Gao Yan suddenly interrupted his brother.
"That's not the case either."
Gao Jun looked at him sharply.
"When I was in Shuozhou, I saw a way to cure it."
"The situation there is different from anywhere else. It is something I have never seen in the past few decades."
"I think this might be an opportunity to govern the world."
Gao Jun asked, "What should we do about things here?"
"Does the matter here have to be left to Hu Changren and the others??"
Gao Yan said solemnly: "I will stay here." "Yun, you can't do anything here. You should have discovered that your decree cannot leave Yecheng at all. If you stay here by force this time, you will only
I'm afraid I won't even be able to leave your mansion."
"What can you do here?"
"Where are the people you promoted now? Where are the policies you implemented?"
Gao Yan shook his head, "I know Liu Taozi. He is not an ambitious person. Most of the people under his command also care about the country. I think maybe you can do more things over there. Besides,
, if someone wants to instigate Liu Taozi to take the last step, you can stop him."
Gao Yan was very sincere at this moment. He took Gao Jun's hand and said seriously: "When Daxingtai of Beidao is established, most of the northern states will naturally be managed here. The land of Hebei is fertile and rich.
We need people like you to govern, and besides, you can keep an eye on Liu Taozi and persuade him to become Huo Guang instead of Wang Mang."
"Neither you nor I can deal with these evil thieves in the world, but Liu Taozi can. He has all kinds of talents under his command, but he only lacks a capable person who can implement major political orders and do major national affairs.
Is there anyone more suitable than you?"
"Don't insist on staying here anymore. Listen to my advice and accept the edict. If you help Liu Taozi, we may be able to join forces. When the time comes, we can rule Hebei, rule the world, and accomplish unprecedented feats..."
"
Gao Yan sent the other party all the way to his own mansion. Gao Yan was absent-minded at the moment and had no energy to discuss important matters with Gao Yan anymore, so Gao Yan left here temporarily.
Sitting in the carriage, Gao Yan's face was solemn, and he no longer had the optimism and comfort he had just now.
Those words just now were all used by him to fool his younger brother.
There is only one purpose, to save his life.
Liu Taozi is an upright man, and he may not die if he stays at the frontier, but if he is in Yecheng, he will be the next Gao Rui.
This younger brother of mine doesn't have that many evil intentions at all, and he can't compete with these evil people.
It's better to let him leave and keep staring at Hu Changren.
Anyway, I have no talent, so it would be a shame to die.
……..
The next day, an angel came to Gao Jun's house early and urged Gao Jun to get on his way as soon as possible.
But this time, Gao Wei's response was indeed much calmer.
Last night, he had been thinking about his brother's words.
He knew the dangers of splitting the temple, and he also knew the dangers of leaving Yecheng.
But what can we do if we are in Yecheng?
How can we force Hu Changren to change the edict?
Gao Jun could not gather people for his own use, because he did not know how to reward people, how to host banquets, nor how to promote and win over people.
He leads those who are willing to follow him to work hard, but with little reward and high risks.
Gradually, everyone was no longer willing to follow him.
In this situation, it might be a good choice to go to the frontier fortress, manage it first, and keep Liu Taozi under control.
While Gao Jun was still delaying, there were cries all over Yecheng.
Hu Changren didn't even wait for the joint memorial from those at the frontier to be sent over. He took the initiative to summon the ministers and proposed the establishment of Daxingtai of Beidao in accordance with the emperor's decree, with Gao Jun as the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai.
For a time, the officials in Santai were panicked.
They don't understand what this means.
But then, Hu Changren announced the list of candidates to go to the frontier fortress.
Those who have some morals, some bottom lines, and some integrity are all on this list.
What Yang Xiuzhi, Cui Daru, Zheng Chu, Pei Shiping, Feng Shu, Li Delin, Helian Ziyue, Xin Deyuan...
There is no room for negotiation in this matter. Hu Changren has made all preparations. He spent a lot of money to win over Lou Rui and asked him to help calm the situation. If anyone disobeys the edict, he will be dealt with according to the method of disobeying the edict.
Lou Rui agreed, except for King Pengcheng.
As a result, a crazy wave of forced appointments began in Yecheng.
The soldiers came to protect these people and took their families to the border fortress to take up their posts.
Except for these people, everyone was satisfied with this. Once they left, many, many positions were vacated in Santai, and these positions naturally belonged to those who stayed.
With the interests of many parties aligned, these people could only be forced to go to the frontier to take up their posts.
They themselves were confused and even more confused about the current situation.
Everyone came forward, but only Gao Jun did not move.
Hu Changren became more and more anxious and even summoned the three lackeys to discuss how to get rid of King Pengcheng.
Zou Xiaoyu tried hard to persuade him and finally stopped Hu Changren's murderous intention.
However, he failed to stop Hu Changren from meeting Gao Jun.
On this day, Hu Changren, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers, came to Gao Jun's mansion.
When he wanted to force his way in, the servants of Gao Xun's family took the initiative to open the door and welcome him in.
Gao Jun's mansion is as simple and plain as ever.
There were slaves preparing, loading things onto the carriage, including many, many books.
Hu Changren looked at this scene, and the murderous look on his face immediately dissipated a lot.
Gao Jun walked out of the busy crowd in the distance, wearing very simple clothes. His face was no longer so frowning, and he didn't look worried. He looked inexplicably.
Relaxed and with a slight smile on his face, he directed those people to carry out the transportation.
"The King of Longdong is here."
Gao Jun stepped forward and bowed gently, neither humble nor overbearing.
Hu Changren suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He returned the gift and asked, "Is King Pengcheng preparing to go to the frontier?"
"Yes, there are a lot of things to take away, so it took some time."
"By the way, I have something to tell King Longdong. There are some documents at the Zhongshu Desk, which are related to household registration land in Hebei states. I want to take them there. Is it okay?"
"Hahaha, whatever is here, you can just take it with you!"
Hu Changren laughed, the smugness in his eyes becoming more obvious. In his heart, he was sure that the other party had admitted defeat.
When facing losers, he is still willing to be more magnanimous.
He couldn't help but said: "King Pengcheng, don't feel discouraged. You can do great things at the frontier."
Gao Jun nodded slightly and looked at Hu Changren again, "I heard that King Longdong sent many people to the frontier fortress this time?"
"good."
"I was afraid that King Pengcheng would be too weak to govern alone, so I selected some wise men and let them go on the road ahead of time."
Gao Jun suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I really don't have much manpower over there. There are still many young people in the court. I promoted them to study in various ministries. I wonder if I can also take these people away?"
"Okay! If there is anything else King Pengcheng wants, just tell him!"
"there is none left."
Gao Jun shook his head, and looked deeply at Hu Changren, "Then I would like to thank King Longdong. Things in this world have always prospered and must decline. Now that the king is in charge of the temple, he must be cautious. The Zhou people are about to send troops. If
Improper employment of people may lead to disaster."
"I know."
"I have other important things to do, so I won't delay King Pengcheng on his way!"
Hu Changren saluted and left in a hurry with everyone.
After getting in the car, Hu Changren's face became even more excited.
First he got rid of Gao Rui, and now he drove away Gao Jun. The entire Ye city finally fell into his hands. Even all the people in Santai who were unwilling to get close to him were almost driven away.
He left behind a good temple that was clean and wise.
He has the power to appoint these vacant positions, and he controls the world.
He wished he could raise his head and roar loudly at this moment.
The world belongs to me!!
In the house, Gao Jun was packing his things happily. He had not been so relaxed for a long time, and he had never even seen such a warm sun.
The sun hangs high in the sky, emitting warm light.
Everyone was talking and laughing and packing their bags.
Gao Jun felt completely relaxed, and even breathing felt very comfortable.
The root cause of the disease that could never be cured was finally abandoned by him.
Chapter completed!
