The last time he was in the house of Ge's house, after Li Zhi saw Fan Ying with a red tassel on her head, he thought that she had not yet promised to be married. Li Zhi had a short time thinking about something, but his mind was seen through by the elder at that time, and a word helped him cut off this thought.

But Wu Meiniang in front of him, because of her identity, is a character he can't even think of.

Moreover, when the two are together, if a very secret matter is spread out, maybe his identity as a prince will be shaken. He wanted to sit a little longer, but he also knew he couldn't stay here for long.

When the maids brought lunch, Li Zhi got up and said, "Eat, I'm going to see my father soon!" ”

Wu Meiniang is smart and smart, the prince is sitting here, and the look on his face for a while has fallen into her eyes without landing at all.

The women in the palace are all like duckweed. It can be said that as long as the son is not a stable emperor, then even a woman who has achieved noble status is the same. Because there are too many opponents, and the temptation and competition are too strong.

How could His Majesty the Emperor's indifference to her escape her eyes, and she was only twenty-four years old.

Since entering the palace, she has only been given the opportunity to serve the emperor once, and before she can start, she was waved away by him in a bad mood.

For ten years, she was like a fruit, green and red, accumulating and ripening every day, worrying every day about the final involuntary fall from the branches, the miserable fall, and then the unknown end of rotting in the soil.

She immediately stood up, deliberately very close to him, she knew that under her unpretentious attire, the dark fragrance and the seductive smell of the opposite sex, she had long been pounding the prince's nose.

She asked, "So, Your Highness, are you still coming back?" ”

Li Zhi said uncertainly, "If you don't come back, after seeing my father, I will go back to Chang'an." The war in Goryeo has taken a new turn, and I have to go back to discuss it with the soldiers and others......"

He saw Wu Meiniang on the other side with a fleeting look of disappointment on her face, and his heart couldn't help but move, is she looking forward to me coming back?

So Li Zhi said again, "My father has the guidance of a master, and he is recuperating in Cuiwei Palace at this time, so I don't think I want anyone to disturb me...... You can teach her words and manners here...... I won't be able to come back for a while. ”

It was to tell her that she could come here every day without inconvenience – because he wouldn't come.

It's been a little too long, and although everything has been reasonable since he entered the prince's palace, and there has been no out-of-the-ordinary behavior, Li Zhi is still worried that the emperor will know.

So he left in a hurry, passing through the door to Cuiwei Palace, his heart was filled with inexplicable excitement along the way.

In this way, the highest-ranking woman in the Anxi Palace is this martial artist, but it is not suitable for her to sit here and enjoy the service of the palace maids, so she beckoned those palace maids and said, "Come and sit down, let's eat together!" ”

Sure enough, Wu Meiniang saw that the woman who was rescued by her and Li Zhi was very rough on her fingers, she had a beautiful face and was not very old, but at best she was just an ordinary girl.

But she was tight-lipped about her life experience, which made Wu Meiniang extremely curious, the more you asked, the more tightly the other party held on, and she didn't dare to reveal anything.

Wu Meiniang didn't ask, only asked her name, but still only said the word "Yang", and refused to say her name. Wu Meiniang smiled and said to her, "Your craftsmanship is good, I love to eat, why don't we worship as sisters?" In case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also eats well, I will slap you! ”

The woman was flattered, and even the palace maids around her were also shocked - a palace maid, but a talented person rushed up to worship.

In order not to let her be cramped, Wu Meiniang corrected her again, "You must sit in a sitting position, your legs must be closed, and your upper body cannot be shaken,"

"I ...... I'm nervous! Usually it is not shaken! The woman said.

Wu Meiniang smiled, "Why are you nervous, have you heard that you are still nervous in front of your sister?" ”

Soon she was no longer nervous, and asked Niangniang, "The slave maid just heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention the book of the military department, it must be very powerful and scary, right?" ”

Wu Mei said, "It turns out that you have been thinking about Lord Gao of the Military Department, I am not familiar with him, and I have never seen anything like him." I only know that he has not lost in the past in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and there are nine wives in the family, all of whom are not comparable to us, so don't think about him! Think about how you will serve Your Highness in the future. ”

The woman discerned for herself, "I'm just asking casually, but you've attached so much to your sister." ”

……

Li Zhi arrived at Cuiwei Palace and learned that the emperor was taking a lunch break, so he waited in the side hall. Until the end of the hour, when the emperor came out of it with his waist stretched, his legs were a little numb, and he staggered a little when he got up.

But the emperor took a step forward with great dexterity, stepped forward to help him, and said in a slightly complaining tone, "Just know how to wait stupidly, why don't you wake me up?" ”

Li Zhi said, "It's rare for the son to see his father sleeping well, so he doesn't dare to disturb." However, the sons and daughters see that the spirit of the father is much better! ”

The emperor said, "If you are really a master, what you said is right, I will do it according to the method taught by Master Gao Jun for a few days, and I will gain a lot." The method is extremely simple, and there is nothing mysterious, but only you know! ”

The father and son talked about the fighting on the front line, and the sea route Niu Jinda had landed on the shore, and once again conquered the city of Yaseon, west of Pyongyang.

Regarding the attitude towards the next direction of the war, Li Zhiwei said to the emperor that according to his intentions, he would once again urge the front to advance by land and water, so that Gai Suwen would have another pain.

But in the court, Gao Jun's opinion is not like this. He asked Niu Jinda to plunder money, and there was no need to rush forward.

Gao Jun said that every time a city is occupied by a waterway, he should not seek to defend it, first, he must replenish supplies on the spot, and second, he must destroy the defense of the enemy's city as much as possible, and destroy all the battlements, fences, bridges, gates, arrow towers, and armories if they are not perfected.

In this way, there is an advantage, the naval division has no backup, and the number is not large, rather than dividing the troops to hold on, it is better to let the enemy soldiers have no basis, even if the Tang army goes deeper, the Goryeo people will not be able to re-enter the fortification, thus cutting off the retreat of the naval division.

The emperor listened to it and praised it greatly, and the soldiers should not be burdened by the enemy when they attack the enemy, let alone be cocooned and self-bound.

Gao Jun made it clear that he didn't look down on Yashan's place. The waterways there are separated by oceans, and the land routes are not connected to the crested city. If the originally small sailors divide their troops again, the base camp on the sea will be empty.

"Gao Jun's strategy is very agreeable, this person is rare."

Li Zhi asked, "Father, the stars of the Tang Dynasty are gradually declining, Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong and others are old, and the sons often think about this problem...... For the arrangement of the British Princess......"

The emperor said, "Li Shiyun has no problem using troops, but his mind is sometimes a little too bright, and I am worried that you will not be able to control him in the future." It's not as good as Gao Jun's meaning, since the last time Gao Jun snatched the pipa from his sister-in-law, I saw that he was available - this is a person in the temperament, you take a look at Simo, Songzan, Xue Li, which one is good? It's just that they are all good friends with him, Zhao Guogong and the king of Jiangxia have always been at odds with each other, but they both have a good impression of Gao Jun, I am wrong, it is impossible for these people to be wrong! ”

Speaking of Simo, Li Zhi said again, "Father, Lord Chu was ordered to go to Mobei, and the people have returned, and Simo, the Khan of the Jieli Department, volunteered to lead the troops to Goryeo to help, but the retainer has not replied to him. ”

The Emperor asked, "What does Gao Jun mean?" ”

Li Zhi said, "The military department Shangshu didn't say anything, because Si Mo was the brother of his fourth wife, Siqing, and the sons thought he was avoiding it. ”

That's right, it seems that Gao Jun still knows the importance of things. First, from the perspective of the war, we don't need to increase our troops at all, and Simo sent troops as the Great Khan of the Jieli Division, so we must have a reward and give him an identity. In this case, it is even more inappropriate for Gao Jun to speak out. ”

"Then, Erchen will reply to his thoughts."

"No! Smoke's troops are not taking their strength, but taking their momentum! Isn't this an example for the surrounding fans? You can control the number of troops that Smoker has - two thousand. Then I drafted an edict for me, Feng Simo Zhongwu general, and gave the founding uncle. ”

This is a fourth-grade title, comparable to the Zhongzhou Thorn History, Shangfu Zhichong Duwei, although Gao Jun is silent, but he can already accept it on face.

Wait for the Tang army to triumph, and then reward Simo.

What moved Li Zhi very much was that the emperor privately mentioned his face to face, and his affection was overflowing. He somehow felt a little uneasy about the little thing in the prince's palace, with Wu Meiniang and the woman who fell into the valley.

The emperor said, "This Li Shiyun is not finished, I will be a wicked person in the future, and then degrade him!" If he can be honest, you can pull him up again, and I guess it will be of your use. ”

"But what Erchen is worried about is not the British duke, who has passed the age of ambition, but is a tall ......."

The Emperor shook his head and said, "You don't understand! For Li Shixian's method, it will backfire when used on Gao Jun, don't think about it! You just have to be good to him in everything, and he will never fail you. ”

Li Zhi further extended, "Erchen knows, Gao Jun thought that at the beginning, he was just a fourth-grade Xizhou don't drive, and his father made an exception to seal the title of Mrs. Liu Yuruguo, which probably means the same!" ”

The father and son gossiped for a while, and according to the daily arrangement, it was time for the emperor to go out of Cuiwei Palace on foot.

So Li Zhi said goodbye, the emperor came out in person, stood outside the palace gate to see off, and saw that Li Zhi did not return to his prince's palace, but drove directly out of the Yunxia Palace, out of the north gate of Cuiwei Palace to Chang'an.

……

Before Simo sent troops to help the army, he got the rank of the fourth grade, and the happiest one was Siqing.

She and Gao Jun went out together to meet her brother by the Weishui River. Simo will take the two thousand light horsemen allowed by the edict to go directly to the battlefield without entering Chang'an City.

The Simo people are happy and majestic, and they are very happy to see their sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Siqing told her brother to pay attention to the cold and warmth on the road, and Gao Jun was a little worried that his brother-in-law offered to go to the front line in Goryeo, and he didn't know how he got along with the British Duke Li Shichang.

No matter how much he reminded, it was inconvenient to say, but he told Simo about Xue Li, so that he could contact General Xue more urgently. Simo flew on his horse, and the two thousand people rushed to the direction of Tongguan.

Xie Jinlian's next five hundred taels of silver were really difficult to deal with, so she sent them back directly, making it clear that Xie Jinlian had responded to them, and she regretted them after Gao Jun came back.

If you don't send it back, why are the two cousins who have not been born for three generations so calm for no reason? If you only talk about family affection, then Gao Jun should also give the third brother Gao Zheng tea money, which is even more reasonable.

But the third sister-in-law, An, made it clear when she left last time, and asked Xie Jinlian to come to her house to talk in two days. At this time, Xie Jinlian was so frightened that she didn't even dare to mention the words "speak at the house", and deeply regretted her short-sightedness.

When I got home in the evening, people discussed this matter together, Liu Yuru sighed softly, and didn't dare to say anything about Xie Jinlian anymore, for fear that she wouldn't be able to stand it.

Finally, he came up with an idea, "I heard that the third sister-in-law is from Hudi, north of Youying, and there should be some rare furs there...... In this way, Jin Lian, you will bring five hundred taels to the house tomorrow, and I only ask the third sister-in-law to buy one for you......"

Looking at Xie Jinlian's embarrassed appearance, Gao Jun said, "Forget it, give me the silver, I'll give it away." But it's only five hundred, it's too obvious, Jin Lian, you change it for me to nine hundred taels. ”

Xie Jinlian said distressedly, why are there so many ?!!

Liu Yuru said, "He must have wanted to buy nine pieces!" Xie Jinlian stopped talking, although it was late, she immediately took people to the cabinet shop on Yongningfang Street.

The place where coins were stored and borrowed in this dynasty was called a cabinet shop. The cabinet shop also has the name of cabinet, attached shop, quality warehouse or quality house.

Each copper coin weighs more than six catties, and it is heavy and inconvenient to carry a large number of copper coins out of the house. People store copper coins in advance in the counters, which is more convenient to access when buying and selling.

The second lady Xie of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War is in charge of the accounts, and everyone in this place knows it, not to mention that she only writes a bill of lading of 900 yuan, which is 900,000 yuan, and the shopkeeper will not frown when she writes it.

After the cabinet was closed, Mrs. Xie brought someone here, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, so he got up and wrote it for her to take away. Early the next morning, Xie Jinlian gave the money to Gao Jun, and as long as Gao Jun sent out the bill of withdrawal from the cabinet, Gao Zheng could go to the cabinet to withdraw the money.

After going out, Gao Jun and the eldest grandson run were on the same road, but at the street entrance of Xinglufang, Gao Jun deliberately waited for a while, and saw the third brother Gao Zheng also riding out on horseback.

Gao Jun and the third brother Gao Zheng are one in the Ministry of Officials and the other in the Ministry of War, basically on the same road, passing through Honglu Temple and Taichang Temple Street, and then north is the public district of Shangshu Province.

The two talked as they walked, and all the officials who came to the yamen saw that the two brothers were talking enthusiastically, and finally, when the two were about to break up, the military department Shangshu slapped his head violently, as if he had almost forgotten something important, and said in a loud voice:

"I almost forgot about Xie Jinlian and their big things!"

Gao Zheng was worried that he had chatted with his brother for too long, so he shouldn't delay his business.

Who knew that Gao Jun took out a list of money from Yongning Cabinet Workshop, and solemnly handed it to him and said, "Liu Yuru and they all want a cloak with good fur, I think only the third sister-in-law has a good way, third brother, don't forget, if the money is not enough, just ask Xie Jinlian for it!" ”[.]
