Chapter 40 Gao Fan asks Han Yu for an official
"Done?"
Han Yu was wrapped in Shuofeng's single clothes, his whole body was piercing, and he couldn't stop sneezing.
Li Ping rode side by side, glanced at Gao Fan, who was facing the wind and snow, and was struggling to hold the horse for Han Yu, nodded at Han Yu, and said, "That little official heard that it was entrusted by Zhou Ning, and he was almost so frightened that he peed his pants, and his attitude towards that girl was much better, and he removed the rope for her." ”
Han Yu smiled with a relieved smile, "I didn't expect that old boy's name to be so useful, in that case, why should we pretend to be an eight-grade person to enter Beijing?" Immediately, Han Yu's words suddenly changed, pointed at Gao Fan and asked Li Ping, "What do you think he looks like?" ”
When Li Ping heard this, he looked around, and saw that passers-by were all surrounding each other, especially Gao Fan, who was dressed in official uniform, was holding a horse for Han Yu, and couldn't help but ask in a worried whisper, "Isn't this too conspicuous and ostentatious?" ”
After hearing this, Han Yu immediately reined in his horse, and asked Gao Fan, who was wrapped in wind and snow, "Lord Gao!" Is it so ostentatious? ”
Gao Fan raised his eyes and looked around at the two of them, shook his head violently with a smile, and said, "Don't be ostentatious!" It is an honor to be able to hold a horse for Lord Han! ”
Han Yu laughed, pointed to the tavern in front of him with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "The wind and snow are too big, go and have a glass of wine to warm up!" ”
When Gao Fan heard this, he shouted, "Okay! Then facing the wind and snow, he struggled to drag Han Yu's white horse forward.
Entering the tavern, Gao Fan hurriedly came to the stove and rubbed his hands to bake, and only when it was warm did he trot and bend over to Han Yu's table.
"Master Gao......" Li Ping poured a glass of wine for Gao Fan and asked, "Do you still know me?" ”
Gao Fan respectfully took the wine bowl, and only then did he dare to raise his head and look at Li Ping carefully, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted in surprise, "Li Ziyuan!" When we were young, we often peeked at Widow Zhou taking a bath in Jingzhou City! ”
After hearing this, Han Yu squirted out a mouthful of wine, and immediately leaned forward and closed in joy.
"Atonement!" Gao Fan hurriedly apologized with a serious face.
"Fart!" Li Ping scolded sharply, "That's Ouyang Han!" ”
"Ouyang Han?" For this name, Gao Fan frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh again, and suddenly realized, "Zhiqing!" When we were children, we used to steal chickens to eat in Jingzhou City, and we also peed in front of the doors of rich and noble families! ”
After hearing this, Han Yu choked on another sip of wine, and immediately squirted out, slapping his chest incessantly.
Gao Fan was extremely embarrassed and apologized, "My lord's atonement...... When we were children, we used to play together, and at that time, our families were poor, and we often said some bold words that would soar in the future......" Speaking of this, Gao Fan lowered his head a little ashamedly, rubbing his hands back and forth, trying his best to hide his embarrassment, "But I didn't expect that now Zhiqing and Ziyuan are both following adults to make contributions, but I am the only ......"
"Ouyang Han!" Han Yu suddenly muttered these three words heavily, leaned back against the wall, and said to himself with some dismay, "Is it really so important to make a contribution......
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Li Ping immediately picked up the wine bowl and started the round, and said to Gao Fan, "We are all loyal to the Great Xu Kingdom, how can we divide each other?!" ”
"Alas, alas!"
Gao Fan seemed to be drunk, blushing and waving his hand again and again and complaining, "You Li Ziyuan, although you are a partial general in this southern camp, you are also a third-grade general, and the military general eats a thousand stones!" But what about me! As he spoke, he burped and poked his chest back and forth in annoyance, "I'm a little six-grade civil official, and I'm responsible for some bad things about the security of vendors every day!" I have to collect money for his Uncle Feng Guo! I can't earn a lot of money to support my family, not to mention, I am scolded by the world as a dog! Do you know how I've come through these years? ”
"Yunhe is drunk!" Li Ping played the round awkwardly, patted Gao Fan on the back and comforted.
"I'm not drunk!" But he never thought that Gao Fan didn't appreciate it at all, he shook off Li Ping with one hand, and sighed angrily with a red face, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances he had suffered over the years, "Uncle Feng Guo bullied the emperor at a young age and controlled the government for more than five years!" How many officials in the DPRK and China are eager to eat the flesh and gnaw the bones! But so what? In the end, those who disobeyed him and didn't listen to him were all chopped into meat and fed to dogs! ”
"Yunhe!" Li Ping saw that Gao Fan's voice was too loud, which attracted the sideways eyes of everyone in the tavern, and immediately raised his hand to stop him, "Don't talk nonsense here!" ”
"You let go!" Gao Fan slapped the back of Li Ping's hand heavily, gritted his back teeth and said resentfully, "Do you know that this grandson also forced the emperor out of the palace!" ”
After hearing this, Han Yu handed it to Li Ping with a look, and immediately understood, Li Ping hugged Gao Fan and covered his mouth. Turning to look at the tavern, everyone smiled and said, "My brother is a good drinker and greedy for glasses, and he often drinks too much!" Don't blame you! ”
Only then did everyone in the tavern turn around, and the crowd resumed their buzz.
"Yunhe!" Li Ping glared angrily and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!" Watch your head! ”
After Li Ping's scare, Gao Fan woke up halfway from drinking, and nodded in agreement.
"In this way, Lord Gao should go back to the house as soon as possible to rest......" Han Yu said to Gao Fan.
"How can I go back?"
Although Gao Fan was halfway awake, he still waved his hand and declined, saying, "Lord Han, please forgive your sins first!" I really heard it when I was riding the horse just now, Lord Han went to Beijing to save people this time, didn't he? ”
After hearing this, Han Yu took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Master Gao has something to say?" ”
"Yes!" Gao Fan was a wine burp again, grabbed the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all, and said, "I dare to guess that that person fell into the hands of 'Ghost Sorrow' Xue Dian?" ”
"Yes!" Han Yu raised an eyebrow, he would never hide anything from smart people.
"In that case, if I don't help her, I won't be able to save her!" After all, it's another wine burp.
Seeing that he was so determined, Han Yu suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "So, bothering to talk about it!" ”
Gao Fan shook his body, tried to keep himself awake, and said, "Xue Dian has always been a person who doesn't recognize his six relatives, and he is Uncle Feng's confidant Ma Zai!" Even if an adult declares his identity, he probably won't sell his face as an adult, and this will expose the identity of the adult. ”
"Go on!" Han Yu narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine bowl and raised his neck to take another sip of wine.
"Xia Guan dared to guess," Gao Fan cautiously arched his hand and said tentatively, "The emperor sneaked out of the palace, but the adults still dared to enter Beijing without authorization, so painstakingly concealing their identities, presumably they were under a false edict, and the current imperial court dares to issue a false edict except for that person, who has the courage to do so?" ”
"Oh?"
Han Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, and he immediately looked at Gao Fan carefully, and suddenly felt that he was quite similar to Ouyang Han. For smart people, Han Yu's mood has always been complicated.
Immediately put down the wine bowl, chuckled and asked, "Lord Gao, but it doesn't hurt to say, filial piety is listening!" ”
"Since this is the case, Gao Fan has nothing to say!" After Gao Fan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "He wants to use this to envelop adults......
After hearing this, Han Yu's face sank instantly, and after thinking for a long time, he put down the wine bowl and said coldly, "What do you mean, Lord Gao!" ”
"Atonement!" Sensing the change in Han Yu's complexion, Gao Fan immediately apologized and said, "My lord, maybe you can use this to save your friend's life!" ”
"!" Li Ping immediately drank and sneered, "Don't say Xue Dian, even Feng Tai is something?" Is it also worthy of my general's begging him? ”
"Ziyuan should be confused!" Gao Fan smiled dryly, "You do have great power in the local area, but you are not under the jurisdiction of the Daxu Imperial Court?" What's more, when you come to this capital, how can you act as recklessly as in a place! ”
Han Yu nodded and asked Gao Fan, "What is Lord Gao's good plan?" ”
"Don't dare to be a good policy!" Gao Fan waved his hand, "Although I am not from the Feng Tai Group, I have lived in the Jingshi for a long time, and I also know some of his minions, especially Xiong Gu and Xiong Wenyi, one of the four tigers under Feng Tai's account, who serves as a court lieutenant and has some friendship with me. Or you can let the lower officials help the adults! ”
"Xiong Gu?!" Han Yu leaned back, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, thinking about this person quickly in his mind, but after a while, he said, "This person is a more difficult character than Xue Dian, with a second-grade official position, and two thousand stones!" Are you sure you can take this guy? ”
Gao Fan immediately got up, bowed, and said, "Xiaguan has some business dealings with him, and he is confident to persuade him to enlarge people and friends!" ”
"Do you know that once it falls into the hands of Xue Dian, it will be the criminal law that will be added to ......" Han Yu asked worriedly, "I don't have that much time......
Gao Fan replied conclusively, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will go all out and go to lobby immediately!" ”
"You ......" Han Yu saw that Gao Fan wanted to leave, and immediately asked, "What are your requirements?" It's better to settle accounts! ”
When Gao Fan heard this, he bent down and chuckled, "The adults are quick to speak, and the lower officials will tell the truth." I hope that after the matter is completed, my lord can write to His Majesty and seal me as a three-grade thousand-stone household-Tingwei Zuo Cheng ......"
"You're welcome!" Han Yu sneered coldly, "So you want to jump three levels in a row?" ”
Gao Fan lowered his head and smiled, "My lord doesn't know anything, the subordinate officials have learned criminal law by themselves, and they have been studying for many years. However, there is no way, and there is no filial piety. It's only been many years of hard work to be promoted, and I can't ......" Speaking of this, Gao Fan suddenly smiled slyly, "The life of that friend of my lord must be worthy of such an official position......
"So you're waiting for me here!" Han Yu glanced at him, and then smiled, "How can I intervene in the selection and promotion of officials by the imperial court?" ”
"Adults can!" Gao Fan smiled, looked up at Han Yu slightly, and then lowered his head and whispered, "After the matter is completed, just borrow the adult's pen and ink and write a letter of recommendation for me!" ”
Han Yu leaned forward slightly, stretched out a hand, patted Gao Fan's shoulder, and smiled, "In that case, let's hurry up!" ”
