Chapter 2110 The stagnant water is slightly rippled
Gao Fengcheng didn't say anything, he just picked up a handful of tender bamboo shoots and chewed them loudly in his mouth, then took a slow sip of wine.
Gao Jifu pretended to be angry and said: "Who among us is following whom? What should we worry about?"
Gao Jingcheng then put down his wine cup, looked at Gao Jifu, and said: "There is no charter. Now because I was on the side of Zhao Guogong, I was regarded as a thorn in the prince's side, and that's why I am now excluded and suppressed. If I can't get the prince, With this understanding, not only you and my uncle and nephew, but all members of the Gao family will never be able to hold high positions in the court and hold great power.”
Gao Jifu sighed and said: "Does this need to be said? Uncle, I was only half a step away from being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It was because of the instigation of the prince and his family that the emperor pushed me down... But now the prince is surrounded by Li Daozong. , Ma Zhou, Fang Jun and others are becoming more difficult to deal with, and the prince obeys the advice of these people. We try to get the prince’s understanding, which is not easy!”
He now hates Fang Jun, Li Daozong and others, and he also has deep resentment towards the prince.
Gao Xingcheng shook his head and said: "With Fang Jun and others here, the prince will never accept us."
"My nephew...you want to pry Fang Jun and others away from the prince? This is very difficult. If there is no good opportunity, it may not be possible."
Gao Jifu frowned, thinking this was difficult.
Gao Jingcheng choked for a moment, looked at his uncle, and thought to himself: How does this man's brain grow? Instead of dreaming about prying Fang Jun and others away from the prince, it is better to hope that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will announce Yi Chu...
"Uncle, I thought too much. In the past, the prince was almost deposed by your majesty for his ridiculous behavior, and all the ministers around him rebelled against their relatives. It was Fang Jun, Li Daozong and others who tried their best to protect him, which enabled him to reverse the situation and secure his position as prince. Later, Ma Zhou and others gave their full support. These people are the backbone of the prince, and it would be extremely difficult to sow discord between them. ”
"That nephew means..."
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. A man will die for a man who knows himself, and a woman will look like a man who pleases her."
Hearing this, Gao Jifu's eyes widened and he was surprised: "Now that the crown prince's position has been firmly established, it would be difficult for His Majesty to move Yi Chu's thoughts... Hiss -" At this point, he said in shock: "My dear nephew. Don't you want to take refuge with a certain prince and repeat what happened with the Xuanwu Sect..."
Then, regardless of Gao Fuling's stunned and incredulous expression, he clenched his fists, leaned forward slightly, stared at Gao Fuling excitedly, and said in a low voice: "What about King Jing? King Jing is the beloved son of the great ancestor, with pure blood, and He is well-known for being a virtuous man, and he has countless relatives and friends in the court. His invisible power should not be underestimated! If he suddenly attacks and goes against the trend with our help, it will be the result of following the dragon..."
High fulfillment: "..."
Who the hell said that Gao Jifu was the most capable wise man of the Gao family in Bohai except the head of the family, Gao Shilian?
It's obviously a stick!
Putting aside other things, who do you think you are, that you dare to play the trick of "repaying others in return" with His Majesty Li Er, who waded outside the Xuanwu Gate to usurp the blood of his brothers and ascended the throne?
I really don’t know how to write the word death!
With His Majesty Li Er's control over the generals, believe it or not, if you shout such a slogan on the front foot, there will be a large army on the back foot to block the four gates of Chang'an, and then the wolf-like "Hundred Cavalry Division" will break in and kill you. The whole family?
Gao Jingcheng had no choice but to say: "How can we do such a rebellious thing after receiving the emperor's favor? Today, my nephew will pretend that he didn't hear it and never mention it again in the future. I, the Bohai Gao family, must never do such a thing. Leave a stain on the history and ruin the family tradition.”
Gao Jifu curled his lips.
What a shame!
The ancestors of the Bohai Gao family were from the Northern Qi royal family. Later, they served in the Sui Dynasty. However, because they were involved in the Xianbei noble Husizheng, they were sent to foreign enemies to be idle. In anger, they took refuge with Emperor Gaozu, Li Yuan, and took care of his family. After her niece married Li Shimin, who was the King of Qin at the time, she gradually took control of the power of the Tang Dynasty and became one of the most powerful families in the world.
Talking about "loyalty" in front of aristocratic families is as childish and ridiculous as talking about chastity in front of a prostitute...
But although this is true, it must not be said from the mouth.
Gao Jifu asked doubtfully: "What method does the wise nephew have to restore the Gao family to its former power and glory?"
Gao Qingcheng answered the wrong question: "Next month is the birthday of King Jin. I have prepared a generous gift and will go to King Jin's Mansion to celebrate his birthday. I wonder if my uncle will have time to go with me?"
Gao Jifu was stunned: "Isn't King Jin imprisoned?"
"What can we do if we are imprisoned? Among your Majesty's disciples, you are most fond of His Highness Prince Jin. I wish you could pick off all the moons in the world and give them to Prince Jin to play with. I just thought that because of the dispute over the reserve, Your Majesty had to He reluctantly imprisoned him, but his doting love not only weakened, but even worsened... Now that Northern Xinjiang is victorious, as long as the previous military exploits are not It is a lie, so with his ability to wipe out the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, it will be just around the corner. It will not be long before the news of Xue Yantuo's destruction will come. At that time, in order to show the power of God and praise God's blessing to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty will have to grant amnesty to the world. It won’t be long before His Royal Highness the King of Jin is released from the confinement..."
Gao Xingxing filled up the wine for Gao Jifu, raised his glass and said calmly.
Gao Jifu was refreshed and naturally understood the meaning of Gao Jifu's words. He clinked the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and then asked: "Does His Highness the King of Jin have the courage?"
Gao Xingyi raised his eyebrows: "So, later we will go to Zhao Guogong's mansion to pay a visit."
He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji would watch the prince sit peacefully in his position from now on. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will face even more serious suppression! No matter the prince or the prince's party, they are all incompatible with Changsun Wuji, and there is even a deep hatred.
What kind of person is Changsun Wuji, how can he just sit back and wait for death?
As long as Changsun Wuji can gather the forces that he thinks can compete with the imperial power, then he will definitely take action. He will choose someone else among the emperor's disciples to support His Highness wholeheartedly, and will overthrow the crown prince's position in one fell swoop!
Gao Jifu clapped his hands suddenly and whispered: "Good!"
There are never real enemies in the court. Everyone fights for their own interests, and naturally they can also work together for their own interests.
In the past, the Gao family and Changsun Wuji had a lot of trouble. Gao Shilian even became an official because of Changsun Wuji's betrayal. His prestige and status were greatly damaged. There were complaints from all over the Gao family, and they wanted to kill Changsun Wuji, the white-eyed wolf. Kill them all.
But as long as cooperation is beneficial to each other's interests, it is no big deal to forget grudges and work together to create brilliance!
*****
Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
A bunch of dandy boys were whipped so hard by the Jingzhao government officials that they cried like ghosts and howled like wolves. Xue Yuancao, the youngest, was so painful that his nose was covered in tears. Gao Zhenxing was stronger in resisting the beatings and could endure it better, but he was still the same after ten more whips. His face turned blue and his lips turned white, and he was covered in cold sweat from the pain.
After the officials whipped their whips, they threw all the dandies outside the gate...
It stands to reason that although Ma Zhou was very strict in enforcing the law and did not favor personal interests, he was not an unkind person. Fighting among dandy men certainly ruined the atmosphere, but it was not a big deal. After a little punishment, he might not become selfless. They would not care whether the executioner would be merciful after accepting the benefits. They would also allow their slaves to come forward for treatment afterwards, and then drive the carriage to the door and take them home one by one to recuperate.
There is no need to hurt anyone's face over this matter.
But today I am really angry with Gao Xing. How can we act in accordance with the law to suppress your Gao family and deny your Gao family face?
No matter how powerful your Gao family is, can it still be bigger than the law of the country?
Ma Zhou also has a stubborn temper. Don't you say that I won't give you face? That's okay, I really won't give you any of it! During the execution, the trousers had to be taken off, and after the whip was whipped, the officials were ordered to carry these usually pampered dandies out of the gate and dump them on the street in a grand manner.
A group of dandies, including King Jiang and Li Yun, endured the pain in their buttocks, and when they were blown by the cold wind, they felt sore... There were very few merchants and merchants walking around in the imperial city, but all the government offices were crowded together, regardless of the officials. Most of the passers-by saw this scene in their eyes, snickering, and inevitably pointing.
They all wanted to save face. Several dandies were blushing and wanted to put their heads into their crotches. The Dou brothers, Su Liangsi, Dai Zhide and others covered their faces and hurriedly ordered the servants who came to carry them on the carriage. , returned home in a hurry.
However, there are always people who refuse to stop...(End of Chapter)
