Chapter 186 No return
The cold wind whispered in my ears. At the foot of the mountain, a new round of competition began to prelude. The fierce Xianbei men rode high-headed horses, waved wooden sticks, and several torrents rushed towards each other, raising the snow dust that was half a man high... Their battlefield was in the vast plain, and the battlefield of Gaoyang was at this moment, in front of this king. If he could pass this level, he could show his ambitions and rise from then on...
He bowed his head respectfully, praying in his heart that he would be recognized...
Gao Yang spent more than a month to formulate a national policy based on the situation of Da Qi and Da Zhou, and put forward a comprehensive policy theory from multiple aspects such as economy, politics, military, and people's livelihood.
Gao Wei looked at him silently for a long time, occasionally looking up and glanced at him.
The look was naturally satisfied.
From these thick stacks of policy arguments, we can see that Gao Yang is capable and wise, not a political novices, but also how much effort he has put into it.
Gao Yang referred to the literary style of the Northern Qi officialdom, and did not quote the classics and promote literary talent as soon as it came up. Instead, he listed the power comparison between the two countries in various aspects, and then analyzed the reasons, how to do it, and what the consequences were. Moreover, after analyzing the trends of the two countries in the following years, each insight has its own uniqueness, showing Gao Yang's superior political vision.
Although he is still young, his ideas and countermeasures are not sophisticated enough, and he is not as good as those of Zu Yi and other old ministers who have been in the political arena for many years. However, this is a comprehensive all-round talent.
Anything can't mean anything. It's a bit scary.
Such people are the top group of talents. They know that the government, national power, and military are interdependent. As civil officials, they will not limit their attention to people's livelihood, and as military officials, they will not curl up their hands and feet in the military. Their eyes will always be examining every flaw in the upper and lower levels and calmly controlling the overall situation. Such young talents are exactly what Gao Wei needs...
The more Gao Wei saw it, the more he felt that he was the right choice to let someone kidnap the vote. Fortunately, although Gao Yang and his son were Zhou Chen, they did not have any sense of belonging to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Before the world was unified, they were all considered wandering in troubled times. In turbulent times, a regime often collapsed in less than a few years. No one was insured. How could he know what would happen in the future?
I don’t expect them to be loyal, so there is no need to mention this moral flaw.
...Gao Wei probably saw something particularly satisfied, smiled and praised: "You have only been to Daqi for more than a month, and you have learned about so many bad policies in Daqi..."
The word "Qing" made Gao Yang, who was uneasy, was resurrected in an instant, and straightened his back straightened, and said, "I will not hide it from Your Majesty. When I was in Chang'an, I heard about many things in the Great Qi Dynasty. When I arrived at Your Majesty, I also visited the prefectures and counties near Jinyang to visit people's livelihood. I had many ideas before. I... but I just recorded my thoughts one by one. Your Majesty was in the court and the government was a Qing Dynasty. I have heard of it. If anyone can eliminate the bad policies that have been destroyed for more than ten years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, it must be Your Majesty! Haha, with Your Majesty's wiseness, these many bad policies will be eliminated in one or two years...!"
All the kings curled their lips secretly, thinking that this Gao Yang really could climb up the pole. His Majesty just showed his intimacy and immediately called himself a minister shamelessly. This dragon fart slapped... quite skillful...
But it was also considered that Gao Yang was smart and it hit His Majesty's appetite.
If he had acted flattery as soon as he came up, His Majesty would have dragged him out and chopped him up long ago. How could he tolerate him until now? Not to mention listening to his argument against the cold wind... His Majesty hates his ministers flattering the victim. He likes people who are talking and talented. Gao Bing is the right bet!
Gao Yan saw that the emperor had seen it almost, and then he continued to say, "...The way of heaven is far-reaching, and it may not be easy to talk about. Good and bad luck are subject to people, and it can be argued. I believe that Qi has a prosperous place and governs the rich and rich lands of the world, the west of the Feng Fen, Jin, the south of the Yangtze River and Huai River, the east of the sea, the north of the desert, the land of the six countries, and the Da Qi is the only one who has five! The territory of the nine provinces is the four! The number of armored soldiers is small, the number of soldiers of the school and the virtual and the real, the generals of thousands of miles, and the tent of the six strange soldiers is comparable to the advantages and disadvantages of the two directions, and there is no level to express his views... The Taihang, the Great Wall is solid and stable, the Jianghuai, the Fenjin, the dangerous and unchanged taxes, the taxes of the Shuzhan are not deficient, the number of soldiers and commoners is not lacking, the former kings have used them for more than plural, and it is still going to be over... Your Majesty, we should eliminate the bad policies to stop the West, the South dynasties...!"
Gao Yang bowed to the end, Gao Yang put away the strategy and helped him up, "I have understood your meaning. I have gained a lot after reading some of my views. My grand ranks have the essence of the world, and the population in the world is sixth. If we can eliminate bad policies, improve people's livelihood, rectify the six armies, and unify the mountains and rivers in the future, it is unknown. I originally wanted to grant my grand rank a prominent official position now, but..."
Gao Bing's heart skipped a beat, and then he hurriedly said, "It is a great blessing for me to be favored by Your Majesty. I dare not ask too much..." When Gao Wei heard this, Gao Bing thought that Gao Wei didn't want to use him, so he was anxious. So he smiled and said, "Don't think too much, but I issued an edict last year. In March, Yecheng will take the exam and recruit talents from all over the world. In the future, if you don't have the exam and the exam, you can't let me make an exception..."
This little thought was exposed, which made Gao Yang feel embarrassed. However, when he heard that the emperor did not mean that, he immediately became excited and bowed to the end, saying, "I am a down-and-out scholar, without any thoughts. How dare you let Your Majesty make an exception... I only ask Your Majesty to give me a quota, and I will do my best to gain a gamble..." The words were full of confidence. Compared with this real talent, Gao Yang believed that he was not inferior to others. Since the emperor wanted him to find a background in a serious way, he would go.
No matter how you look at it, the scholars who were admitted to the examination are more glorious and prominent. In the future, he will be prime minister and govern the world. His experience must be outstanding. If he can, he will not be stained, so as not to be stained. Most officials from the Daqi rear-end will stand out from the examination. If he makes an exception, he will inevitably be labeled as a flatterer. Even if he wants to fight for his future, he must be upright to convince the public!
Gao Wei nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself that a movable sign was coming. The scholars recruited last year did not have many talented people, most of them were just a doctrine of the mean. Even if Gao Wei wanted to promote one or two, gain a reputation, and spread the world, he would not be able to get it.
Gao Wei already knows that he is good at abilities and can be promoted with confidence. If he passes the exam, Gao Wei will give him an official position and make political achievements within one or two years and be valued by Gao Wei... Then won't this reputation be made? Scholars all over the world will know that there is also Gao Wei, a little person who was originally unknown, won the title of the Yecheng Competition, and was valued by the king, and became a famous minister... Do you still need to think about it next? This is the most beautiful dream in the minds of scholars! In this way, talents who pour into the Northern Qi court will be endless!
Since Gao Yang is already his subject, he must give full play to his role!
Gao Wei quickly thought about the abacus. The examination matters of Yecheng were Zhao Yanshen, Hulu Xiaoqing, Lang Mao and others. Gao Wei wanted to set up the front station in advance, so that someone could hint them, "This young man is my guardian..." Needless to say, he knew, he was definitely in the top ten!
Gao Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Gao Wei smiled but said nothing. At this time, the selection of Xianbei warriors under his jurisdiction had only been a short period of time. Only more than a hundred people were selected, but unfortunately snowflakes floated. The sky was blue-gray, and the snow was getting bigger and it gradually blurred its vision...
"Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily, go back to the camp first?" Liu Taozhi pressed the knife and led the reins of the war horse under Gao Wei's crotch. The tall and ferocious Liaodong horse was docile like a sheep under his hands. When he passed by, everyone made way out.
The kings looked at him, with a faint look of hatred in their eyes. When he glanced over, they avoided them...
Liu Taozhi, the bloody executioner, had many blood stains on his hands from the Gao family's clan members, and the kings wanted to get rid of it quickly. However, what made people feel depressed was that this man was a hawk raised by the emperor and could not move...!
A group of people got off the mountain road, and Gao Wei suddenly said, "King of Nanyang..."
Gao Chuo was shocked, got off his horse and walked forward. The emperor looked down at him from the horse and saw that he was delighted and looked very reserved. Gao Wei smiled intimately and said, "Don't be so nervous. There are no foreign ministers here, they are all his own family..."
Gao Chuo's mouth held a bitter smile.
Liu Taozhi, who was holding the horse, pressed her hand inadvertently on the hilt of the sword. Heavy snow fell on his hat. The ordinary and honest face under the eaves of the hat showed murderous aura... Gao Chuo was nervous and clenched his fist in secret, still saying respectfully:
"...I obey the order, how dare you ask Your Majesty what to summon me?"
"I want you to be the chief in charge of investigating corrupt officials. Can you... do it?"
The emperor had just issued an edict, and the Qing Dynasty reduced the dynasty officials. Now, he ordered him to investigate corrupt officials... His Majesty, what is this intention?
It seems that someone has made His Majesty unhappy...
Gao Chuo thought about it and felt that this would offend many people. He didn't dare to answer for a moment. Gao Wei glanced at him again and frowned his eyebrows slightly, "Can you do it?"
There is a saying that there is a sense of responsibility, and it is firm and cannot be refused.
Gao Chuo secretly complained in his heart and said respectfully: "I obey the order..."
Gao Wei stretched his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, then... I'll work hard for me..."
"I accept the order..."
After watching Gao Chuo leave, Liu Taozhi said, "Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily and the conditions in the camp are inconvenient. Let's talk about it later when we go back to Jinyang..."
"I won't go back, I'll say I'll go back in twenty days, that'll go back in twenty days..." Gao Wei refused decisively, turned his head to look north. Jinyang was dozens of miles away, and it was completely covered by the chaotic snow. "At this time, the cabinet is already abolishing the department?...Haha, there are many old ministers among them. If they kneel in front of the palace gate and the people of the world look at it, do you think I agree, do you agree or agree..."
A hint of pleasure of a traitor succeeding appeared in Gao Wei's eyes.
"I won't come forward, I'll leave it to Zu Yi and the others..."
…………
The heavy snow covered Jinyang. The front of the Jinyang Palace was surrounded by a large area, with black people all filled with heads, either angry, unwilling, or begging. Hundreds of eyes were staring firmly at the gate of the palace. Everyone was wearing court uniforms and stood firmly in the snow. The gate of the palace opened with a creaking opening, and the eunuch Gao Shun stepped out under the guard of the imperial guards, "Go back, Your Majesty has not returned to Jinyang yet. All matters of the coup are changed. Listen to the arrangements of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet... and the Censor and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
The crowd made a buzzing sound...
…………
At this time, the cabinet ministers were sitting in the office of the Censor. When they heard the noise coming from the imperial city, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly on their faces...
I can't escape, this day has come...
