When Zhao Junchen walked into the main hall of Zhao Mansion and saw Hong Gaogong, he couldn't help but be stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jinyiwei is the most powerful in the forbidden army, and Jinyiwei Qianhu is already a high-level officer of Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei Qianhu named Hong Gaogong in front of him is unexpectedly young, he looks like he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he is younger than Qi Bin.

However, Zhao Junchen didn't feel strange when he thought about it.

It is not surprising that the 26 guards of the capital, especially the Jinyi Guard, were often the gathering place of the nobles of the imperial court, and it was not surprising that young people who had risen to prominence with the help of their ancestors.

The fact that Hong Gaogong in front of him has become a five-grade thousand households at a young age can only show that his backstage is exceptionally hard.

Zhao Junchen's first impression of Hong Gaogong was not good, his appearance was handsome, but his rouge was too heavy, and when he was waiting for Zhao Junchen in the main hall of Zhao Mansion, he did not have the slightest military style, but looked around and kept looking at the landscape of Zhao Mansion, his body was crooked, giving people a feeling of carelessness and carelessness.

However, considering that this person's backstage should not be underestimated, Zhao Junchen still put on an easy-going attitude after entering the main hall, and first asked with a smile: "You are Jinyi Wei Qianhu Hong Gaogong?" ”

After seeing Zhao Junchen appear, Hong Gaogong immediately stood up and saluted: "The lowly Hong Gaogong has seen Lord Zhao, and at the behest of His Majesty, the lowly will lead the elite of the two hundred forbidden troops to escort Lord Zhao to Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu, and everything is under the orders of Lord Zhao." ”

When saluting, Hong Gaogong's movements were full of competence, and his voice was also powerful, which slightly changed Zhao Junchen's impression of him.

Then, Zhao Junchen stroked Hong Gaogong up with a smile, and said: "To be escorted by a forbidden army talent like Hong Qianhu, this official is relieved...... Well, let's sit down and talk. ”

As the two of them sat down, Hong Gaogong saw Zhao Junchen's friendly attitude, and his expression was a little more sloppy and ruffian, and said flatteringly: "After Your Majesty asked Jinyiwei to arrange a thousand households to escort Lord Zhao to Shaanxi and Gansu, more than a dozen thousand households of Jinyiwei are competing for this errand, and everyone knows that there will be meat soup to drink with Lord Zhao!" In the end, the second uncle, who was lowly and lowly, understood the truth that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, but he handed over this errand to the lowly position...... Lord Zhao, don't worry, the safety of this road will be handed over to the lowly position, and the lowly position will never let Lord Zhao encounter any thrills! In addition, the status of the lowly Jinyi guard can also scare some people, if Lord Zhao has any errands, even if he orders the lowly position, you let the lowly post go east, and the lowly post will never go west! ”

Speaking of this, Hong Gaogong's face was full of tacit smiles, and he said: "However, Lord Zhao, if you encounter any benefits in the future, please don't forget that the two hundred brothers under the lowly and lowly positions are not despicable and greedy, but the brothers under the lowly positions are used to being lazy on weekdays, and most of them are unwilling to leave the capital, and now Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi are dangerous places...... Lord Zhao, you also know that many of the people in this brocade guard are the sons of nobles, and they don't look up and look down on weekdays, if they don't have some benefits, even if they are lowly and can't drive them. ”

Seeing that Hong Gaogong asked for benefits from him as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Junchen disliked this person more and more in his heart.

However, like this kind of gentleman, there are also benefits, as long as their power is high enough, the benefits are enough, one hand with a big stick and the other hand sweet dates, this kind of gentleman will willingly become Zhao Junchen's minions, and Zhao Junchen's orders will also be completed with all their might.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen did not directly refuse Hong Gaogong's request, but just asked: "But I don't know, who is Hong Qianhu's second uncle?" ”

Hong Gaogong was proud, and said with a straight chest: "The second uncle of the humble position is Hong Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" ”

"It turned out to be Commander Hong!" Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, and his heart was also abrupt, no wonder Hong Gaogong became a thousand households of Jinyiwei at a young age, it turned out that his second uncle was the supreme officer of Jinyiwei.

After looking at Hong Gaogong a few times again, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "I have an old friendship with Commander Hong, and I often see him by His Majesty's side on weekdays...... Speaking of which, I was ordered to rebuild the West Factory, and I also asked for a group of people from Commander Hong, which can be regarded as owing Commander Hong a little popularity, since you are the nephew of Commander Hong, I will naturally not treat you badly. ”

Zhao Junchen's words seemed to respect Hong Jin very much, as if he had also promised Hong Gaogong's benefits, but in fact, he was very particular.

Zhao Junchen said that he often saw Hong Jin by the side of Emperor Deqing, which implied that his holy family was grand, and he was by no means inferior to Hong Jin, a noble; He also mentioned that he had rebuilt the West Factory in order to hint to Hong Gaogong that his status was higher than Hong Jin, after all, Jinyiwei was already a subordinate organization of the East and West Second Factory in some respects; He also said that when he rebuilt the West Factory, he asked Hong Jin for a group of manpower, and the word "request" showed the difference between the strength and weakness of Zhao Junchen and Hong Jin.

Regarding Zhao Junchen's hints, Hong Gaogong naturally heard it, but his face changed, and he found that Zhao Junchen did not attach great importance to his background.

But Zhao Junchen's attitude did not make Hong Gaogong feel angry, most of the gentlemen are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so Hong Gaogong's attitude towards Zhao Junchen became more and more deferential, and his expression became more humble and flattering, and said: "The second uncle of the humble position sent the humble post to escort Lord Zhao this time, and he also wanted to further get closer to Lord Zhao, in short, Lord Zhao, if you have any instructions in the future, even if you drive the humble position, the humble duty will definitely do your best." ”

may have received a hint from Zhao Junchen, but Hong Gaogong's statement this time was that he did not ask Zhao Junchen for any more benefits.

And Zhao Junchen still nodded noncommittally, but said: "It's not early, it's already lunch time, Hong Qianhu will stay and eat with me." ”

did not seek Hong Gaogong's attitude, Zhao Junchen directly announced the intention of staying guests, and in addition to wooing Hong Gaogong, he also further hinted at his dominance.

Hong Gaogong was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said flatteringly: "Since it is Lord Zhao's intention, then the humble position will be reaped...... It is a great honor to be able to share lunch with Lord Zhao. ”

Next, Zhao Junchen and Hong Gaogong had lunch together, in order to show their wealth to Hong Gaogong, this day's lunch was extraordinarily luxurious, every dish is extremely precious, if the Qingliu people see Zhao Junchen's lunch, they will inevitably angrily reprimand Zhao Junchen for being poor and extravagant, and I don't know how much people's fat and ointment have been scraped, but Hong Gaogong saw Zhao Junchen's extravagant style and was full of envy, and only felt that Zhao Junchen was his life goal.

But until Hong Gaogong said goodbye and left, Zhao Junchen did not give Hong Gaogong any actual benefits, such as this kind of person has always been insatiable, if he gave benefits when he didn't do things for himself at the beginning, he would only be more and more greedy in the future, but it was difficult to drive, so he had to hang his appetite.

*

On the second day, after Zhao Junchen arranged everything, he left the Zhao Mansion under the send-off of Cui Qianxue and Fang Ru, preparing to go to the west gate of the capital to meet Bao Wenjie.

On this trip to Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen not only brought with him three entourages, including Xu Qingyan, and four coachmen, but also three staff members headed by Su Xiqing, as well as 20 family members who were highly skilled in martial arts and had experience in joining the army -- these family members were all strong men that Zhao Junchen had vigorously recruited in recent years, and all of them were brave people -- in some respects, these family members were more reliable than those brocade guards.

There are more than 30 people in total, more than 20 horses and five carriages, which can be described as huge.

However, the group had just left the Zhao Mansion, and after leaving the alley, they found that Hong Gaogong had led two hundred brocade guards to wait outside the alley for a long time.

Although Jinyiwei has concentrated many elites of the forbidden army, it is enough to scare people by relying on the name of Jinyiwei on weekdays, and what he does is only bullying, so where do you need any real sword and gun skills?

In this regard, Zhao Junchen had expected it, and he was not too disappointed, just greeted Hong Gaogong, and the two teams merged in one place, heading towards the west gate of the capital.

In the capital, such a large group of cavalry naturally attracted the attention of countless people, but because of the escort of 200 brocade guards, no one dared to come forward to interrogate, so Zhao Junchen and his party soon arrived at the west gate of the capital.

Outside the west gate of the capital, Bao Wenjie and his party have been waiting for a long time.

Compared with Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie's pomp was much lower, with only a squire and a family member by his side, and a carriage and a bad horse were prepared.

However, compared with Hong Gaogong, Zhao Junchen paid more attention to Bao Wenjie, and personally went out of the carriage to talk to Bao Wenjie.

Seeing Zhao Junchen get out of the carriage, Hong Gaogong was like Zhao Junchen's guard, and quickly dismounted and followed behind Zhao Junchen.

Walking in front of Bao Wenjie, Zhao Junchen asked, "Master Bao, everything is ready?" ”

Bao Wenjie nodded and said, "Everything is ready, and I can follow Lord Zhao to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu at any time." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, and then introduced Bao Wenjie and Hong Gaogong to each other.

However, Bao Wenjie is naturally not used to Hong Gaogong, and Hong Gaogong does not take Bao Wenjie, a powerless and powerless servant of the Ministry of Rites, in his eyes, and the two sides only nodded lightly after getting to know each other, and the atmosphere was not warm.

Zhao Junchen didn't care about this, but after integrating the three teams, he returned to the carriage and led everyone towards Shanxi.
