Chapter 65: I Want You to Like Me
Director Feng led Lian Sheng backwards. During the period, I met the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and I couldn't help but stop when I saw a female official coming in. This dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, only at the beginning of the founding of the country for special reasons, there have been female princes and female marshals, and in recent decades, there are only some female prisons using female pawns, this is the first time to see a female official, and I have heard that this female official is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the King of Qin together to recommend to Long live, this background is hard enough, and everyone looks at Liansheng's vision is a little more research.
came to a room in the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, and the person sitting in it saw her come in, put down the tea bowl, and snorted coldly. In the past few days when he entered Beijing, Liansheng had thought about the scene of meeting Gu Shangshu countless times, but he didn't expect that in such a simple and hurried situation, it was really better to choose a day than to hit the day. She stepped forward to meet Master Shangshu according to etiquette. Gu Shangshu didn't say a word, Liansheng finished bowing to himself, straightened his waist and said: "Xiaguan came today to negotiate with the Ministry of Rites on behalf of the Three Law Divisions on the matter of the Book of Thousands of People in Xi'an Mansion, and I also asked Lord Shangshu to show me." ”
"Gu Tixing, it's good, you're fine."
Director Feng next to him was a little confused, what was going on? Say you're good when you meet? Looking at Lord Shangshu's gritted teeth, it doesn't look like he really thinks Gu Ti's punishment is very good?
"Lord Shangshu praised it falsely, Xia Guan is not just a small punishment, but Xia Guan has been working hard to move forward, dedicated to the country and the people, and at the same time hopes to glorify the ancestors."
Lian Sheng looked directly at Gu Shangshu and said.
There is something else in this, and only the father and daughter can understand it. Director Feng next to him stood there inexplicably, not knowing what kind of edge he was fighting.
Gu Shangshu is now the leader of the Qing School, relying on the power of Wenchen, he first relied on the Chen family to make his fortune, and the Chen family still controls the Guanzhong Academy. Li Zicheng, the Taizu of the Dashun Dynasty, was a native of northern Shaanxi and ascended the throne in Xi'an, so in this era, Guanzhong Academy ranked first among the academies in the country. But after the Chen family went from the old bachelor Chen, that is, Chen's father, the second generation of the Chen family has not yet gained a foothold in the officialdom, and Chen's elder brother controls the Guanzhong Academy, and is very close to the please school, it is obvious that the current emperor is not satisfied with this, and taking away Chen Huan's fame for being immoral is a warning to the Chen family. The Chen family lost face this time, and in the second generation of the Gu family, Gu Lianyong's talent was mediocre, but he was born, and he faintly had the demeanor of Gu Shangshu at a young age; Liansheng, with the help of Yu Shizhao, was hand-picked by Long Live to enter Dali Temple, although it was only a six-grade punishment, but as the only female official in Dashun in the past few decades, she still got the attention of the court, and everyone was guessing what was unique about this little six-grade official. Yu Shizhao herself is stunning enough, she will never be emotional about a woman who is not as good as herself, since she is not an Israelite person, then she must have a certain ability. Gu Shangshu watched the movements of this courtier, and smiled secretly in his heart: If you knew that she was the old man's biological daughter, what would you think.
Listening to Liansheng talk about the glory of the ancestors, Gu Shangshu nodded, and said in his heart, You are taking the initiative to ask me for peace.
Thinking like this, his face softened a lot, and then ordered: "You discuss with Director Feng, write a written fold of the details of Mu Shusheng's case and hand it in, and report it to Long Live after being verified by the Ministry of Rites." ”
"The subordinate obeys."
When Liansheng saw Gu Shangshu, he was extremely calm. She knows that she is weak now, and she must know how to show weakness first. Young and impulsive in Qingyuan County, he clashed with Gu Shangshu and Gu Lianyong. Although he won the reputation and status behind his mother Yang, he lost his cousin's family. After learning from the pain, Liansheng ordered himself not to be impulsive, and to strengthen himself steadily. When you are not strong enough to crush your opponent in all directions, you can't show your edge too early.
Gu Shangshu motioned for Lord Feng to go out in advance, leaving Liansheng behind.
"Fang Sheng did well in the exam this time, I am very pleased."
"Master Xie."
Lotus gave thanks to her.
"You don't have to say otherwise, after all, I am your father, walking in officialdom, in the eyes of outsiders, you are always my sons and daughters, my people."
"Xia Guan just wants to be a pure minister." Liansheng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. On the way to Beijing, she asked for information from Yu Shizhao and studied Gu Shangshu, this person's character is good or bad, his status in Shilin is so high, he still has a little bit of style, if he immediately changes his face and sticks it up, it will arouse his suspicion, it is better to step by step, step by step let him lift his guard.
Sure enough, Gu Shangshu sneered: "Don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you were recommended by King Qin and Yu Shizhao, and you still want to be a pure minister?" Dream on. ”
"When people are young, they always have some dreams, and adults also had them back then."
Liansheng tried to impress him with Yang's feelings back then, and sure enough, this sentence reminded Gu Shangshu of his ambition when he was a young student, when his family was poor and thanks to Yang's maiden family. Thinking of this, he sighed, "Don't talk about the past, since you have come to the capital, we are a relationship of both prosperity and loss, I hope you understand this as soon as possible, don't make some tricks." ”
"If your Excellency has nothing else to do, the lower official will go and study the matter of this Book of All People with Director Feng." Gu Shangshu waved his hand impatiently, and Liansheng retreated.
Gu Lianyong turned from behind the screen: "Father, you can't let Gu Liansheng sit big." It's better to take this opportunity to press her to death directly. ”
"Her surname is Gu, she can't write two Gu in one stroke, it's no problem how to treat her in Qingyuan County, now it's the capital, since she has entered the officialdom, it is always the Gu family in the eyes of the world, you don't know how to try this time, we can't mess with ourselves."
"Father believes she will be with us?"
"It doesn't matter if you have one heart or not, as long as you don't come to us. A Gu word, we are in Qingliu she is in Dali Temple, and we can always rely on each other. ”
"It's just a sixth-rank official." Gu Lianyong thought that Liansheng had become a Beijing official, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. He is not as good as Fang Sheng, and now Lian Sheng has become an official first, thinking that these two people who disdained him in the past are actually walking in front of him, that feeling is really scratching his heart, and it is extremely uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't put on such a sour appearance, she is your sister, your uncle is now disgusted by Banzai, we can't make enemies in the court anymore."
Gu Shangshu glanced at his son, feeling a little annoyed, why did this beloved eldest son always look like he was not successful enough to fail, couldn't he learn from Liansheng?
"No matter what you did before, I could forgive, in the capital, I don't allow you to move my crooked eyes, the power behind her is very big, it's not something you can do casually." Gu Shangshu looked at his son and sighed: "If you have time to move the side door and think about it, you might as well read more books, I am still waiting for you to enter the palace with your real skills to try." ”
"Gu Tixing, this is a letter sent by the people of Xi'an. This is a file transferred from the Criminal Department. What my lord means is that this matter needs to be written in detail, you see......"
Director Feng retrieved all the case files and put them on the desk.
"Lord Principal, I would like to ask the Ministry of Lower Rites what is its attitude towards this matter."
Director Feng hesitated, considered the words and said: "Mu Yunping used to be a tribute student, and then this petition passed through the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and it is also related to this, mainly the meaning of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, of course, public opinion is also very important, and this case must always be happy." ”
"Thank you for your advice." Liansheng understands that the Ministry of Rites doesn't want to cause trouble for himself at all, and the so-called negotiation is just to ask the Criminal Department to make a break and finish the book about the matter.
Liansheng spent the whole day in the Ministry of Rites, and when he returned home in the evening, he had not finished writing the fold.
The reason why I am embarrassed to say to people is that her calligraphy is very ordinary.
In this era, although women can be officials, the fallacy that women are not talented is still the mainstream, no one teaches Liansheng to practice calligraphy, and her brush writing is very ugly, so the names of Gu Liansheng and Gu Fangsheng are not satisfactory.
In the evening, she returned to her rented house with some information.
Relying on the reward of the Qin Palace, Liansheng rented a small courtyard house, and the two sisters and brothers lived quietly. Open the lock, there was no one at home, Lian Sheng remembered that Fang Sheng said in the morning that he had participated in the gathering of fellow villagers in Shaanxi, and it seemed that he had not come back yet.
She was just about to open the door of the inner room, when she saw a person standing under the jujube tree in the courtyard, Liansheng was so frightened that Wen Jiàn, who was hugging, fell to the ground, and the man laughed eatingly: "The person who dares to hold the skull is so timid." ”
Liansheng bent down to pick up Wen Jiàn, and Yu Shizhao had already walked over and squatted down to pick it up with her.
"I thought that Lord Yu would ignore me."
"I don't want to pay attention to you, but after all, I recommended you to enter the Dali Temple, be careful not to embarrass me." Yu Shizhao picked up Wen Jiàn and glanced at it: "There are still problems with Mu Yunping's case?" ”
"Yes, I need to write a note to explain things as they are."
The two stood up, and Yu Shizhao looked at Liansheng with his hands behind his back: "Gu Liansheng, I came today to officially tell you something. Seeing his serious appearance, Liansheng didn't know what he was going to say, and looked at him nervously.
"I felt ashamed that the first time I wanted to marry someone, I was rejected by them. But my lord, I'm a famous ghost, and I won't give up lightly, and that's what I want to say to you! In order to make my heart feel better, I am determined not to give up on you, I must make you like me, and then I will reject you again, haha, isn't this great. ”
"It's ...... Club. "This adult is really a child's temper, can he talk like this? However, Liansheng suddenly thought of an idea: "My lord, in that case, do you want to express yourself well, for example, help me write a note?" ”
