Chapter 415 Reconciliation
Everyone had no idea about Han Qinhu, but his father Han Xiong, as a famous general of the Western Wei Dynasty, repeatedly repelled the attacks of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Henan and Hedong, and even Hou Jing could not take any advantage.
Even though Han Xiong had passed away for several years, the shadow still enveloped the hearts of many old ministers in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Therefore, everyone did not have much enthusiasm for Han Qinhu, who had taken action to protect His Majesty's decent appearance, but only had vigilance... At this time, everyone suddenly realized that there were so many talents in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Not to mention Gao Jin and Yang Su, even this figure who looked reckless, had a delicate heart!
His Majesty has been increasingly favoring the surrendered ministers of Zhou State recently, which is really not a good thing for some people in Hebei and Hedong!
Without looking at the sunny faces of these people, His Majesty became more and more interested in this bearded man. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "I heard that the Han Qing family is proficient in military tactics, martial arts, scriptures, historical books, and the words of hundreds of schools. I thought the Qing family was a Confucian general. Now, when you look at it, you are not only a delicate heart, but also a brave warrior."
Han Qinhu narrowed his tiger eyes proudly, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and said loudly: "Although I am not talented, I still have some force. I remember that when I was leading someone to attack the barbarians of Jingnan, I could walk ten rounds and backs in two layers of armor! Even a big insect was killed in three or two punches. It was not that I boasted that I had never met several opponents since I was a child!"
He heard that he was full of confidence and was arrogant. Many people present were really frightened. Yang Su showed disdain, and the two brothers, King Ande and King Guangning, were eager to try. Gao Wei smiled slightly, and did not refute. He wiped the wine stains on his hands with a towel, and pointed at an old man dressed in a military minister at the banquet, and asked with a smile: "How about you compare to General Da Xi?"
Han Qinhu subconsciously glanced at Da Xi Changru. The veteran glanced coldly at this time, and his eyes were absolutely not friendly. Han Qinhu's tone was stagnant, but he had already blew away all the cowhides. If he took it back, it would be a big deal to save face. Han Qinhu was determined to sell himself to the emperor at this banquet, and naturally he could not retreat easily at this time.
Therefore, no matter how you offend someone, you can only bite the bullet!
"General Daxi can shock the desert with one spear, and his martial arts are indeed extraordinary in the world, but I am not a vegetarian. If I meet him on a battle formation, among the thousands of troops, it is still unknown who can laugh at the end!"
Han Qinhu's tone was sonorous, and his rough voice was shocked to make the roof of the beams fall into dust. The little prince, who was sitting next to his father, stared at the loud voice with wide eyes, his eyes full of surprise, and His Majesty even cheered:
"Okay, good ambition, great courage! I have another talent as a general!" The ministers and ministers of the Man Palace also stood up to celebrate. As they said, the emperor suppressed many noises with gestures, held up his wine glass and solemnly went down the imperial stairs. The ministers who had just sat up stood up again.
"No need to be too polite. Today's banquet is full of teachers and friends, and no monarch and ministers." Gao Wei raised his chin and signaled that the officials would not be polite.
Having said that, no one in the hall dared to take this seriously. Gao Wei persuaded him for a while and stopped persuading him. He held the golden cup and walked to his father-in-law Hu Luguang:
"At the beginning of my ascension, the government and the people, either rebelled for the King Langjia, or established cliques for the gentlemen. The villain was in power, and the sun was in vain. Only you can urge me to distinguish between loyalty and treason. I calmly destroyed the gentlemen. After the King Langjia planned to rebel, the country was in trouble and turmoil, and my beloved came forward and guarded the border for the country. I went there for several years. I went from Chang'an and passed by Jinzhong. The thirteen Liancheng built by my beloved that year is still vivid in my mind..."
Gao Wei sighed with emotion, Huluguang's eyes gradually turned red, and he slowly bowed his hand, and was pressed by the emperor, "You Gong, your beloved is an important minister of the court, and the Great Qi pillar. You privately, your beloved is my father-in-law and my elders. No matter what, I should thank you very much!"
The emperor looked up and drank all the wine in his bottle. After drinking it, he showed it to others with an empty cup.
Even if Hu Luguang has trained a pair of iron and stone hearts in half his life, he will inevitably feel sad. He suppressed his emotions and was as strong as a railway: "... My father got the special kindness of Emperor Shenwu, and used it to defeat the enemy. I was valued by the ancestors of all generations and had to serve the horse before the horse. The Tian family treated my family as heavy as a mountain! It is the duty of my ministers to be loyal to the king and serve the country. I dare not speak of my merits or hardships!"
Gao Wei nodded heavily, "I understand... Wei Qing, come up!"
Wei Xiaokuan's body was shocked, and he had to follow the emperor's order and slowly stepped forward. When everyone was secretly guessing that the emperor was trying to do so, Gao Wei took Wei Xiaokuan's hand and held the hand and Huluguang's hand together. Wei Xiaokuan was shocked, but he did not pull it back. Even Huluguang only looked up in surprise and did not dare to spread his hand away. The emperor said seriously:
"I know that you have deep grudges and dare not expect you to smile and slim down. But you must know that in the past, they were only for their own masters and had different positions... Now you are both subordinates of the Great Qi, and the north has been unified again. Whether in Hebei or Guanzhong or Longyou, are you my ministers. I don't want any conflicts between you two to make. Just give me a face and don't fight again. How about it?"
It was obvious that the emperor was urging the King of Xianyang not to take revenge again.
Wei Xiaokuan was a little at a loss.
Huluguang was frozen in place, his expression was hard to speak. After a while, he woke up and said loudly: "———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A stone fell to the ground in the emperor's heart, and finally smiled, and gave his father-in-law a cup, and then Shi Shiran returned to his seat.
Those who are interested can see the emperor's intentions with just a little guess. The emperor persuaded the King of Xianyang to let go of hatred, but wasn't he trying to persuade the Qi government and the people to put aside their prejudices and accept other forces? This has become political correctness. Even if some people have some other ideas, they will never dare to make it clear. For a moment, it seemed that they became harmonious again, whether between Hebei officials or surrendered ministers of Zhou.
Sure enough, the wine table culture is profound and there is nothing that cannot be done by a few meals. If so, then have a few more meals.
The hidden danger buried in the court was eliminated by Gao Wei's words, which not only avoided unnecessary internal strife, but also balanced the court situation. Gao Wei was happy and drank a little more. He actually got drunk and was helped back to the harem. When the queen changed his clothes, she couldn't help but talk nonsense to her: "You... you remember to tell her that your mother came to the palace tomorrow. I asked my father-in-law to let Wei Xiaokuan go today. If he didn't say it, he would feel uncomfortable and he would comfort him."
"I know."
"Are you unhappy again?"
"I don't have it."
"You have it, and when you are unhappy, you will keep your face tense... Is it because of the matter of looking for a master for the sake of the pig?"
The queen paused and sighed, "Yes, I think the Li Gang recommended by the Grand Tutor is very good. Not to mention his origin, he is a famous scholar in the world at a young age. I have been inquired about it. He is a respected person. Isn't he just right to be a master of the lord? But His Majesty is fine, and he just walked over without even discussing it. Su Wei looked lazy and didn't know what you thought."
"You don't know my hardship..." Gao Wei said vaguely, got up from the bed, and changed his face to a solemn expression. "This Li Gang is upright and knowledgeable, and it is true. According to me, let alone being a counselor or a censor, the cabinet minister is qualified. But I am willing to give him any position, but I dare not let him be the crown prince's teacher!"
"Why?"
"Of course it's because, because..." Gao Wei said this, and his tone paused, he suddenly felt irritable, waved his hand and turned around, "Why would I tell you about this? Sleep!"
Anyway, Li Gang can't do it!
Gao Wei is more inclined to teach the prince by words and deeds. After all this and that, there is nothing to do with Su Wei. At this time, the northern country had just arrived, and the world was peaceful and there was no drought or flood. People with officials were naturally happy, and the common people did not have to worry about food and clothing at home. The conflicts between officials were eased, and the storm in the court gradually subsided. Gao Wei has been doing quite smoothly recently and gradually felt a sense of peace and stability in the country.
First, Gao Jin and Su Wei introduced new laws, and government orders were issued, which were unimpeded and the public responded well. Then, the Xue family in Hedong and the Yang family in Hongnong took the initiative to dismantle the private soldiers of the clan and surrendered to the emperor.
Needless to say, the Yang family is actually one of the most powerful gentry in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It has always changed rapidly and has strong strength. When Yuwen Tai was determined to raise an army to fight Gao Huan, the Yang family took the initiative to offer the Yang family wall and responded first.
Although the Xue family in Hedong is less talented than the Yang family, the Xue family in Hedong is so powerful that its private soldiers are so powerful that it is famous all over the world. In addition, it has to be said that the Xue family in Hedong also has a certain foundation in the Northern Qi court. When the East and West were fighting, the family was divided into two factions in the middle. They invested in Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan, and directly dedicated a large area of land including Pingyang to Gao Huan. Therefore, the strength of this family is also quite considerable.
With these two families setting an example, the rest cannot pretend to be confused, and they also expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the court and actively abolished the troops and private soldiers... This is what Gao Wei used to frequently ogle at the Guanzhong family. Although the withdrawal of private soldiers does not mean that the influence of these guys has weakened, it has at least strengthened the authority of the court. If the troops are cut, the problem of land cannot be slowly planned.
Although the actions of Yang and Xue were hostile to the majority of families, they were praised by the emperor. The emperor has repeatedly praised these two families in recent days, which is undoubtedly the face of others in public!
Not only that, the emperor turned around and said to the prince with righteous words:
"These people said that they were loyal to Daqi and to me, and that they would go through fire and water for my country, devote themselves to their lives until they die.
"But if I touched their little interests, they would cry and cry, wishing they could label me as a fool... Those who could not even give me a little bit of property to me, but they said they were loyal to me, which shows that they were a group of liars!"
The ministers were plundered and there were layers of flesh, and there were sorrows everywhere. Even Gao Yang, the culprit, was frightened. Everyone hoped that something would happen to make the emperor calm down for a while and not let the wolf-like eyes look at them.
Perhaps their sincerity finally moved the heavens. In October, winter just came to the north of the north, and a hundred miles of rush to reach Yecheng from Chang'an on a starry night!
