Gao Jun was known as the first minister of the Sui Dynasty. Not only did he have great merit, but he also recommended Yang Su, Han Qinhu, He Ruobi and others to Yang Jian. It was precisely because of the full assistance of these talents that Yang Jian was able to end the troubled times, unify the world, and

In foreign wars, the arrogant Turks were defeated.

But when Yang Jian took a breath and looked inward, he found that the Guanlong nobles headed by the Eight Pillar States, the Twelve Generals, and the Twenty-four Guards Generals were unprecedentedly powerful and ambitious. He wanted to move the capital to Luoyang to break the

The Guanzhong standard system has never been able to achieve it.

It was also because of his presence that these Guanlong nobles did not dare to act rashly. Once he was gone, these people would definitely start an attack.

On the other hand, the prince Yang Yong was found to be soft-hearted and careless in doing things. At best, he was a scholar, but at worst, he was weak-minded, uncertain, and had no independent opinion. He was unable to control the powerful and ambitious Guan Long.

If a nobleman succeeds Zuo, he will be nothing more than the third Wei Dynasty

Emperor Gong was just the second Emperor Jing of Zhou Dynasty. For the sake of the country and the country in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian had the intention of abolishing the crown prince and prepared to establish Yang Guang, a man of great talent and great strategy, as the crown prince. However, Yang Yong had been the crown prince for nearly twenty years and could not

It was no use, so Yang Jian took the lead in finding Gao Jiong, hoping that he would support him.

However, everyone has selfish motives, and Gao Jiong is no exception.

Compared with Yang Guang, Gao Jun naturally supported Yang Yong, the prince's son-in-law. He was stubborn and believed that Yang Yong had no fault, so how could he be deposed so easily?

Yang Jian tried to persuade him many times but failed, so he knew that Gao Jiong's ambition was irretrievable. In the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, Yang Jian, who had already decided to depose Yang Yong, first eliminated Yang Yong's wings. The high-ranking Gao Jiong was Yang Yong's father-in-law and Yang Yong's most important person.

A staunch supporter, he was the first to be demoted.

Gao Yanwuguan was light-weight. He usually read books at home when he had nothing to do. Occasionally he went out to have a few drinks. His life was quite leisurely. He thought he would be so leisurely, but who would have thought that things would change suddenly this year.

After the queen died of illness, the frustrated Yang Jian entrusted state affairs to Yang Guang. Many people jumped out and involved him in the circle of right and wrong again.

Gao Jiong knew that although he had passed the test of Yang Jian, the prince Yang Guang not only failed to pass the test, but was also very sad.

Although he has lost real power in the court now, he has great merits, seniority, and many disciples and former officials. No one dares to ignore his existence. Sometimes one sentence of his is more effective than a hundred sentences of Yang Su and Su Wei.

This influence did not matter in Yang Jian's era, but Yang Guang did not have the intimidation of his father, which would eventually magnify his influence a hundred times. Since ancient times, which emperor could tolerate such a detached person?

Gao Jiong is already over sixty years old. He doesn't have much time to live, so he is not worried about himself. What he is worried about is the descendants of his family.

"Father!" While Gao Jiong was thinking silently, his eldest son Gao Shengdao appeared in his study.

Gao Shengdao was forty-five, and he lived in Zuo Shaoqing of Taipu Temple. He was in charge of Huang, and was in the second office of the Che Mansion. He bowed to Gao Jong and said: "Father, I heard that Prince Wei's palace refused to marry. Have you given up on getting married?"

Got an idea?"

Gao Jong gave his son a faint look: "Who said that? Since I have chosen Yang Ji as my son-in-law, I will definitely marry my daughter to him."

"This..." Gao Shengdao frowned and said with some embarrassment: "Father, Concubine Dugu has refused to marry, how about letting it go?"

Gao Qiao curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You know nothing."

"Father." Gao Shengdao seemed to be used to being scolded. He did not pay attention to his father's scolding, but said to himself: "King Wei Zhao's party members have long since disappeared. Yang Ji, who inherited the title of King Wei, has no power to rely on, just like a floating tree without roots.

Although now

There is the grace of a saint, but this grace will not last long. Once the new king comes to the throne, the dignitaries who have been beaten by Yang Ji will definitely attack in groups. The fall of Prince Wei's palace will happen sooner or later. Therefore, the child thinks that he promised his little sister to

Yang Ji, this is not a good thing."

"That's why I said you don't understand anything." Gao Jiu glared at his son and explained: "When a new king ascends the throne, he will do some achievements to show that he is not weak and he is like his father. However, the old ministers only seek stability and have always been the new king.

The new emperor is an obstructionist of the new government. The new emperor believes that the old ministers will rely on their old ministers and betray them. Even if he does not bring down these old ministers, he will

Promoting radical ministers to support the New Deal was the original origin of "one emperor, one minister". The prince is talented and ambitious, and is not someone who is willing to live in the shadow of a saint. I am afraid that he will make big moves when he ascends the throne. And Yang Ji

, just because everyone hates it is enough to live a life without worries."

Gao Sheng was speechless for a long time. It was not that his father convinced him, but that he found that his father actually said that the prince would ascend the throne. Since his father believed that the prince would ascend the throne in the future, why did he object? He couldn't help but ask: "Does father think the prince will succeed in ascending the throne?"

?”

"Of course." Gao Jiao nodded: "The saint has been choosing among the princes, and there is no one who can be better than the prince. There is no way that the saint will change the prince again."

Gao Shengdao was surprised and said: "Since he knows that he cannot do anything, why does father still oppose the prince?"

"It's not that I want to oppose the prince, but I don't oppose it, and everyone regards me as an opponent. Because I am not only the founding father, the former prince-in-law, but also the head of the family. Even if I am not against the father-in-law and the minister of Conglong,

They also think that I am afraid that my family will be liquidated.

Oppose to the end." Gao Jiong sighed: "Since there is no way to retreat, I have no choice but to cooperate with those who oppose the prince. I am not doing this for the sake of the prince, but I want to use this power to advance and retreat. When this

When the power of this group is unimaginable, the Gao family is actually safe."

Gao Shengdao asked in confusion: "Even if the prince's status is unshakable, it has nothing to do with you promising your little sister to Yang Ji?"

"Yang Ji's wisdom is far beyond your imagination. When the eyes of the civil and military dynasties were still on the saint, the queen, and the former prince, he made a good move on the prince in advance, making the prince believe in him.

Once the prince ascends the throne, he will inevitably become one of the most dazzling ministers in the court. As long as I win this son-in-law, even if I die, the Gao family will be able to maintain wealth for two generations. This is why I want to marry Ling'er to Yang Ji.

"

Gao Jiong had long ago realized that his nephew was incompetent and that he had to rely on himself to seize the high position. Once he passed away, he would definitely be knocked back to his original form. If someone added insult to injury, the Gao family might not even be able to pass on the inheritance, so he has been looking for someone who can protect Gao over the years.

Home people.

He didn't pay much attention to the notorious Yang Ji before, but it wasn't until Yang Ji suddenly appeared in the marriage incident that he was investigated one by one.

As the Prime Minister of a country, it was too easy for him to check the growth experience of a royal child. However, this investigation was extraordinary. He found that Yang Ji was only fighting, and the ones he beat were the bastards who deserved to be beaten. He was not like other people.

The playboys bullied men and women, and dominated the market. What shocked Gao Jiong even more was that Yang Ji had been hanging out with Yang Guang's family since he was a child, and he avoided Yang Yong. It was just that he was ignorant when he was a child, but when he grew up

Still so.

Gao Jiong immediately realized that Yang Ji's friendship with Yang Guang was his own initiative and had nothing to do with anyone else. After concluding that Yang Ji was a rare and valuable pearl, he made people take advantage of the situation to smear Yang Ji everywhere and hid him deep in rumors.

Among the rumors, they planned to wait until he came of age and then betroth his daughter Gao Ling to him, so as to find a way for his descendants to make a living.

In order to "favor" the Gao family, Gao Jun even used coercion and inducement to bribe all the fortune-tellers in Daxing City. As long as someone showed Yang Ji's name and birth date, the fortune-tellers would say that he was "not compatible" with the famous lady.

Poor Dugu Min believed it to be true, but he didn't know that Gao Jiong was up to no good behind his back.

Gao Shengdao hesitated for a moment and said, "My son has no objection to you marrying my little sister to Yang Ji. But Princess Dugu obviously doesn't want to marry us. Can you still force my little sister to go through?"

Gao Yan snorted coldly: "That's because Dugu Min has never seen Ling'er and doesn't know how good Ling'er is."

Gao Shengdao smiled bitterly and said: "But the problem now is that the younger sister may not be willing to marry. After the younger sister heard that Princess Dugu refused to marry, she scolded Yang Ji until he was penniless in front of his aunt, my wife, in the back hall.

It’s worth it, and she even said that she would not marry Yang Ji even if she married a pig or a dog. It seems like she hates Yang Ji by looking at her."

"You don't understand the thoughts of my daughter's family at all." Gao Qiao said to the slender head: "Have you ever seen Ling'er criticize other men?"

The Gao family has a rich academic background and is open-minded. Both men and women are required to read, read, and learn chess, calligraphy, painting, and household knowledge.

Gao Ling is a leader among young people, and she is fully worthy of the word "knowledgeable and sensible"; she has rarely been rude since she was a child, and even knew about the marriage proposal for her, but she took it lightly until she heard that Prince Wei's house refused to marry her.

, and then complained angrily.

Gao Shengdao didn't realize the problem, but Gao Jun thought that although Gao Ling hated Yang Ji now, the only man she could hate for so many years was Yang Ji. If she knew that Yang Ji was not only not a playboy, but

He is a handsome man with a good appearance and both civil and military skills. How can he change from hatred to love in just one thought?

"As long as I use a little trick, I can make them a couple." Gao Jiu twitched his beard and smiled evilly.

Gao Sachs said in astonishment: "Do you have any idea?"

"Find some people to spread the news and say that Prince Wei and Gao Mansion are interested in getting married. But Yang Ji doesn't look down on Ying'er and treats Ling'er as worthless; then he says that Ling'er doesn't look down on Yang Ji either and treats Yang Ji as useless.

The criticism is worthless." Gao Jiong said.

Goldman Sachs wondered: "What's the purpose of this rumor?"

"Of course it works!" Gao Qiao said: "Dugu Min is worried about being implicated and does not want to marry our family. But her son is young and energetic, and he may not be able to bear Ling'er's scolding. Even if he can bear it, Ling'er

I may not be able to bear 'Yang Ji's scolding'."

Gao Shengdao suddenly said, "Do you want to use this method to induce a fight between Yang Ji and my little sister?"

"That's right." Gao Jun nodded slowly: "If there is any gossip between the two of us, I will go to Yang Ji's uncle and ask him to give me justice. The emperor grants me a marriage, let's see who dares to complain."

Although this method is a little shameless, for the sake of the inheritance of the Gao family, Gao Jiong can only do this.
