"Gao Gongzi's previous temperament, I think Yu Niang should be very clear, now that Gao Shilang is gone, Yu Niang thinks, what kind of help should I give him?"

Shen Xi mentioned Gao Chong, with a bit of caution in his tone, because Yu Niang belonged to the biggest unstable factor, and she didn't seem to have any secrets about Liu Daxia...... If Liu Daxia knew that he was giving advice to Gaoming City, Liu Daxia might not know how to target him.

Shen Xi is now showing an attitude:

The well water between me and Gao Chong does not violate the river water, even if Gao Chong insists that I was the one who offered the advice, but this kind of thing is unfounded, and taking refuge in Zhang's relatives is actually just a matter of brains, and it is not allowed to bite indiscriminately!

Yu Niang sighed lightly: "Gao Gongzi is the old man of Lord Shen, if he can, he should help out appropriately." But the slave family also knows that he has always been of bad character, so how about waiting for him to graduate in the future? ”

Hearing Yu Niang say this, Shen Xi was not sure whether Gao Chong had leaked the news.

Anyway, Shen Xi made up his mind, at least in Yu Niang's place, he would never admit that he had made a suggestion to Gao Mingcheng, in fact, it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not, Gao Mingcheng was dead, Liu Daxia owed him military merits, even if it was exposed, it would only be worth the merits.

When he went home, Shen Xi thought about it, in fact, he was not at fault at all in the matter of Gao Mingcheng's grandfather and grandson.

Sometimes some people casually talk about it, Shen Xi is thinking about Gao Chong's things, and he never thought that as soon as he returned to his door, he saw Gao Chong waiting outside with two small servants, carrying gifts for his visit.

Shen Xi got down from the carriage and looked at Gao Chong, the first thing Gao Chong did when he came up was not to ask for warmth, but to kneel down and kowtow to Shen Xi three times.

"What is Gao Gongzi doing? I can't afford it. Shen Xi stretched out his hand to help, but Gao Chong couldn't hold on.

Once unstoppable, now in such a miserable situation, he can only blame his grandfather for not being an honest and honest official, and he will harm his descendants...... The impact of Gao Mingcheng's death on Gao Chong was almost devastating.

"Lord Shen, the student is desperate and has to come to visit for help."

Gao Chong knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "After the death of the ancestor, the Gao family has completely collapsed, and many old people are strangers to the students, but the creditors come to the door all day long......"

"Creditor?"

Shen Xi looked at Gao Chong in surprise, and thought, did Gao Mingcheng owe a lot of money before?

"Yes."

Gao Chong choked up and said, "At the beginning, Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo used the name of their ancestors to borrow a lot of silver, but after the death of their ancestors, there was no way to return the money, and even the fields and properties purchased in their hometown earlier were sold for the students, but they were not even enough to repay the interest......

Shen Xi has a new understanding of the shamelessness of his relatives and brothers, no matter how powerful this kind of person is, it is best to stay away, otherwise he will definitely be unlucky if he has been with him for a long time, and the grandfather and grandson of Gao Mingcheng are living examples. Shen Xi asked puzzledly: "Does Gongzi Gao think that this official is rich and can help you pay off your debts?" ”

"The student has no intention of letting Lord Shen break the bank, the student just wants to tell the adult that the student's situation is worrying now, maybe Lord Shen can help...... Take the students to visit the Hou ...... Shouning"

Shen Xi suddenly realized that Gao Chong was not dead to the Zhang brothers, or was unwilling.

My grandfather gave you all the family property as a condition for surrendering, and you also privately used my grandfather's name as a household servant to borrow money from others, and now it's good, as soon as my grandfather died, you copied my family property, and even me and my daughter-in-law were imprisoned for more than a month, enduring all kinds of inhuman abuse, and that's all, but now you don't care, obviously you borrowed the money, but you insist that I, a prisoner with no official status, will repay it, this is not even the basic master-servant relationship?

Shen Xi said: "It's a pity that there is no friendship between this official and Shouning Hou. ”

"Huh!?"

Gao Chong looked up at Shen Xi in disbelief, he had always thought that Shen Xi advocated Gao Mingcheng to defect to the Zhang brothers because Shen Xi himself was also a member of the Zhang brothers.

In fact, the Zhang brothers' attitude towards Shen Xi has always been vague, and they even fell into trouble for a time, and the two sides can't talk about friendship, even if there is friendship, it is only because of the bond of the prince Zhu Houzhao, Shen Xi is a lecturer in the East Palace, and the Zhang brothers are the uncles of the prince, that's all.

"Gao Gongzi doesn't have to be surprised." Shen Xi explained, "This official is an official of the East Palace, and he will give lessons to the prince on weekdays, so it is inevitable that he will have an intersection with the Marquis of Shouning, but he is not attached to the Marquis of Shouning's mansion. Besides, even if this official intercedes with Shou Ninghou for you, Gao Gongzi thinks that Shou Ninghou will give me face and pay off Gao Shilang's debts? ”

Gao Chong lowered his head again, he knew that the Zhang brothers had not been at ease since they started borrowing money, but they just didn't give up.

Gao Chong hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Student here, there is evidence of Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo corrupting the law, all of which were secretly left by the ancestors, and said that they were in case of emergency!" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Even if Gao Gongzi has evidence, is there a way to sue?" Criminal Department? Dali Temple? Or go to the Son of Heaven to sue the emperor? Even if Your Majesty accepts your evidence, do you think Your Majesty, who is in charge of the factory guard, really doesn't know anything about what Shouning Hou Jianchang does on weekdays? I think it's Gao Gongzi who will be killed because of the evidence in his hand! ”

Shen Xi had no obligation to remind Gao Chong, Gao Chong could find death by him, but if he thought about it carefully, Gao Chong was at most a gentleman, and there were not many evil deeds that really did evil...... Gao Mingcheng has a little bit of kindness as the head of the government trial case, he is such a grandson, and it is a little immoral to let Gao Chong die in vain.

"Can the student hand over this evidence to Lord Shen for safekeeping?" Gao Chong asked in a earnest tone.

When Shen Xi heard Gao Chong's words, he suddenly became vigilant...... Gao Chong won't lack his heart and eyes to this point, right?

Handed over the key evidence that can prove that the Zhang brothers were corrupt and perverted the law to others for safekeeping, how blind should Gao Chong be to himself?

Think about it another way, is this Yu Niang or Liu Daxia asking Gao Chong to act in a play to test his attitude towards the Zhang brothers to prove whether he is in the same party as the Zhang brothers?

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Whether I take refuge in the Zhang brothers, or whether I help them do things, it should have nothing to do with Liu Daxia!" Even Liu Daxia maintained a moderate attitude in the grain theft case, and now let me, a Hanlin scholar with no real power, fight with the Zhang brothers, wouldn't it make me touch the stone with my egg? ”

Immediately said: "This official thinks that Gao Gongzi's evidence should be hidden, and he will take it out when the time is right, maybe it will get a miraculous effect, but it is definitely not now." Even if Gao Gongzi wants to find someone to help, he should be a famous and virtuous minister in the court, such as big officials like Ma Shangshu and Liu Shangshu, not small officials like this official. Gao Gongzi, if it's okay, please go back! ”

Shen Xi issued an eviction order.

He didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Gao Chong, because Gao Chong had caused him a lot of trouble and trouble, and in the eventful autumn of the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, Shen Xi didn't want to get involved in unnecessary whirlpools.

Although Gao Mingcheng was praised because of Shen Xi, he was also burdened by it, but Gao Mingcheng really fell because he was corrupt and bent the law, scraping the land in the post of governor of Henan, which made the people's resentment boil.

If it weren't for the emperor's and empress's intentional favoritism, the insatiable brothers would have been imprisoned a long time ago, instead of going through the three dynasties of Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing as in history, and have been at ease for decades.

……

……

After Gao Chong left, Shen Xi secretly wondered in his heart, what evidence could Gao Mingcheng leave behind to bring down the Zhang brothers?

The Zhang brothers forcibly seized the money, although this matter is not a secret, but it is also very difficult to find evidence, if the Zhang brothers borrowed foreign debts in the name of Gaoming City to provide evidence, the Zhang brothers can completely push it clean, and resolutely refuse to admit that the matter has anything to do with them.

Shen Xi even felt that Gao Chong was not far from death.

Even if the Zhang brothers will let him go, those creditors will not let him go, a poor bastard, and a lot of wives and concubines to support, do you expect him to become an official in the future and slowly repay his debts?

His fortune may not even be enough to repay the interest in his life!

Shen Xi suddenly understood why the Zhang brothers would give up the chess piece of Gao Mingcheng so happily, because as long as Gao Mingcheng died, the previous debt could be easily pushed to the dead, and the Zhang brothers made a lot of money in vain.

But in this way, whether it is borrowed money or flattened by a debt, can someone be happy?

……

……

The next day, when Shen Xi went to Guozijian to find Xie Duo to borrow a book, he told Gao Chong about it, and Xie Duo thought about it: "The Gao Chong you said is a good seedling in Guozixue. ”

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly...... Gao Chong is so capable now, he can actually be appreciated by Xie Duo!?

"Master Xie, where did you start?" Shen Xi asked.

"Maybe it's because the death of Gao Shilang has too much impact on him, this year's promotion exam, he is included in the first class, if nothing else, he may be able to complete his studies within two years, I heard that the imperial court has sent him a good errand, and he will be directly recruited from the seventh rank of official vacancies. This can be said to have the most promising prospects among so many students in Guozi School......"

Shen Xi nodded, this is really true!

The new branch of the scholar to fill the vacancy, can only be mixed from the seventh grade candidate, and Gao Chong's graduation from Guozi is equivalent to the follow-up of the scholar Pingping, and can be placed in the official vacancy immediately, this is considered the grace given by Emperor Hongzhi!

Shen Xi said: "What does it mean to thank the teacher, Gao Chong wants to finish his studies earlier in order to obtain official vacancies?" ”

"I don't know!"

Xie Duo shook his head, "I usually don't ask about the student's situation, but Gao Shilang accidentally lost his money and food, even if he died, it was difficult to hide his fault, His Majesty treated him leniently, and left such a shadow for his grandson Gao Chong, which is also an anomaly." ”

Xie Duo was reminding Shen Xi.

Emperor Hongzhi's kindness to the descendants of Gaoming City was indeed a little excessive. Even the descendants of those lords may not be able to receive the same grace as Gao Chong, not to mention that Gao Mingcheng is still a criminal minister.

"Don't talk about noble things, these days, the old man has not heard any criticism of you in the court, but many officials have praised you for your meritorious lectures for the prince, which shows that you have made great progress in life!" Xie Duo said with a smile.

Shen Xi sighed: "The prince is young and stubborn, and his ability to listen to the lecture with peace of mind is the best praise for the students!" ”

"Haha, what you said is direct, but it is precisely because the prince is playful and playful that you have to be strictly disciplined as a gentleman!" Xie Duo said, "But among so many officials in the East Palace, as long as you are the same age as the crown prince, everyone else thinks that you have a promising future, so don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations of you." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, is it the emperor who has expectations for me, or you? Don't force your ideas on the Emperor!

"But I've also heard that after you entered the Japanese preaching, His Majesty never summoned you in the daily preaching, but is there such a thing?" Xie Duo asked.

Shen Xi nodded, it is true that he is a Japanese lecturer, but Emperor Hongzhi may think that listening to a posterior boy lecture is a bit too child's play, so when the palace feasts and daily lectures, he never let him participate as a lecturer, and only made an audit record in the middle, but did not let him speak.

Xie Duo sighed: "You still have to fight more, Your Majesty is in his prime, he is in good health, and if he wants to get ahead, he must not wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne." If you can let Your Majesty see your talents and learning, you can do something before the age of twenty, and you can expect it! ”
