Chapter 28 Luoyang
Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Wen Ruo said it well. I was lucky enough to make contributions. Mr. Tao recommended me as the Changshi of Langya and was about to go to Luoyang to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
The chief of Langya Kingdom was entrusted with two thousand stones. In the official system of the Han Dynasty, it was a middle- and high-level official position, and held the power of a county. When Xun Yu and Xun You heard this, they couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng with a different eye.
For the Xun family, one of the eight major families in the world, the chief minister of a county and state is nothing. What moved Xun Yu and Xun You was Gao Cheng's current age. He served as two thousand stones at such a young age, and the chance of becoming a chief official or a senior official of the court in the future is extremely high.
With this understanding, Xun Yu and Xun You secretly adjusted their mentality and regarded Gao Cheng as friends who could be in equal contact. Several people surrounded the stove, warmed the wine, and blew the autumn wind, and sat in the pavilion to talk to each other. Everyone was the most wise man in this world, and they were all about the world situation, and they were instructing the country, leisurely and comfortable.
Xun Yu talked about how to resettle refugees in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Xun You and Xi Zhicai were concerned about the battle situation of the Han soldiers and the Qiang people in Liangzhou fighting in the northwest. When talking, they were astronomy, geography, internal politics, and placing troops and formations. Even Guo Jia, who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, occasionally said something, which was a sharp point and had a slight insight into the current situation.
Yingchuan Academy is backed by the two major families of the Xun family and the Chen family in Yingchuan, with countless books. Xun Yu and Xun You, and Guo Jia, have outstanding talent in Xi Zhi, and have read a lot of books. With his own understanding, it is not surprising that he has such insights.
Gao Cheng has been the emperor of the Yitian World for ten years and has accumulated a lot of accumulation. Whether it is internal politics, strategic layout, or the general trend of the world, he can talk to everyone and have his own opinions.
"Guangling Gao clan is said to be a branch of the Gao clan of Bohai. Gao Ziming actually has such insights. No wonder he can make great contributions. In this way, he can become a high-ranking official of two thousand stones!" Xun You said in his heart.
While everyone was talking, Xu Xuan, who was standing beside him, looked admiration. He had never read many books before. Although he was talented, his thinking had always been limited to Xuzhou. Now that he heard what everyone said, he realized the difference between himself and his children from truly top families.
Everyone talked for a moment, and then Gao Cheng said, "Zhicai, when I return from Luoyang to take office, you can help me too! In addition to a few generals, I lack military advisors who are good at military strategy and government affairs. If Zhicai comes, I will be much more relaxed!"
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! My studies in the academy have been completed. If I stay in Yingchuan, I will not get much gain. Going to other places to experience it may help me to improve my cultivation! When Brother Ziming returns from Luoyang, I will set out with you!"
Gao Cheng immediately showed joy and quickly raised the wine bottle to toast Xi Zhicai. He drank a glass of wine, and then said to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, I heard that Yingduo Qishi, Yingchuan Academy is a holy place for scholars. I wonder if I can recruit some talents in the academy?"
Xun Yu smiled, not feeling poached at all. Every year, a large number of people come to study in Yingchuan Academy. In addition to the children of aristocratic families, there are also a small number of poor scholars.
These people are like Xi Zhicai. They are either talents who are optimistic about the Xun or Chen family, or they are academies recommended by others. They have no family background to rely on. After they have finished their studies, many people have to become accomplices of the aristocratic family.
If Gao Cheng was willing to recruit some talents in the academy, he could also give these poor scholars a way to become officials of the court. So Xun Yu did not express any dissatisfaction.
"Of course! If these scholars have the opportunity to make progress, I will be happy for them!"
Gao Cheng knew himself well and did not arrogantly want to recruit Xun Yu or Xun You. He even did not intend to recruit Guo Jia. Guo Jia was born in a branch of the Guo family in Yingchuan, and the Guo family was also a famous family in Yangdi, and belonged to a first-class family. Among the people here, only Xi Zhi was the real poor family.
Without becoming a prefect or governor, Gao Cheng would not take the initiative to recruit children from these aristocratic families to avoid causing humiliation. What he said was to recruit talents was aimed at the poor scholars of Yingchuan Academy.
At this time, the mountain wind suddenly became stronger, and everyone felt a hint of chill in the pavilion. Seeing this, Gao Cheng had achieved his goal in this trip, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and took Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin down the mountain.
Xun Yu and Xun You also had something to do. Soon, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were left in the pavilion.
"Brother, Gao Cheng is an extraordinary person with unique insights. He is indeed a rare hero, but I feel that he seems to have great ambitions. If you serve the other party, you must be careful!" Guo Jia finally put down the wine bottle in his hand and saw that there was no one around, so he said.
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jiazhi are similar and have a very good relationship. They are as close as brothers, so Guo Jia did not hide his opinion and said it directly.
Guo Jia's current realm is only at the sixth level of soul cultivation, but he has a talent that can be insightful and can judge the other person's character and personality through other people's words and deeds. He is very accurate in looking at people.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "As today, there are many heroes, who have no ambitions in his heart, but thanks Fengxiao for reminding me, I will be careful."
Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that the other party did not take his words to heart, so he could only shake his head secretly and stop saying anything.
...
After leaving Yingchuan Academy, Gao Cheng stayed in Yangdi for a day, and asked his two hundred knights to rest and take a break for a horsepower. He waited until the next day, and then he continued his journey with his carriage.
A month later, everyone finally arrived at the edge of Luoyang.
From a distance, the towering city walls look like steep and continuous mountain peaks, standing on the earth. Luoyang is well-connected and brings together countless aristocratic families, wealthy families, giants, and raiders in the world... On the road, there are countless people and densely populated people. It is said that there are millions of people in Luoyang City. Now it seems that reality and rumors are very consistent.
"This is the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang!"
Gao Cheng, Xu Xuan, Jiang Qin and others were shocked by this spectacular city after seeing Luoyang City.
"Such a high city wall is solid! Even if millions of troops are besieged, half of them will not be killed or injured, and it will definitely not be able to capture Luoyang!" Xu Xuan sighed.
Gao Cheng smiled and said nothing. No one has ever captured Luoyang City head-on in the history of the Han Dynasty. Even the original Emperor Shizu, after he became emperor in Hebei, went south to Luoyang, and there was no war.
When Wu Qi persuaded Wei Wuhou, he once said that the country is solid and virtue is not dangerous. This is a bit too absolute, but it makes sense. Luoyang has become so majestic, who would have thought that in the near future, this city with the title of God Capital would be destroyed by a fire.
When attacking head-on, no one can break through the city, but the dynasty is in a state of inclination. No matter how strong the city is, it cannot stop the sinister hearts of the people.
"Don't sigh, let's go! Go into Luoyang first and settle down!"
Gao Cheng interrupted everyone's sigh and continued to move forward with the carriage. The closer the distance, the more you could feel the oppression brought by the city wall. When you arrived at the city gate, you looked up and looked up. The battlements seemed to be far away in the sky.
