As a result, after walking to Jing'anfang, I found that Ma Lan's mansion was more magnificent than Guo Ziyi's!

It seems that after the Anshi Rebellion, the students of Guozijian almost lost their source of livelihood, but these Fangzhen generals, because of their military exploits in quelling the rebellion, each received countless gifts from the emperor.

Ma Lan's coffin rested in the central hall. In the front hall, many generals lined up under white flags and were receiving guests. There are still a lot of people in front of the house, some are here to mourn, and some want to blend in and take the opportunity to see how luxurious Ma Lu's house is.

Gao Yue couldn't help but be interested, so he stepped forward, shed tears, and pretended that he was the son of Ma Lu's former official, and came to mourn the king of Fufeng County.

The next moment, a miracle appeared, and no one in the Anxi soldiers in the front hall doubted it, but let him and Liu De's room in.

I went and entered Ma Lan's house, and I was really magnanimous! Gao Yue, who came from modern times, was speechless, but when he saw the twists and turns of the corridor in the vestibule, the strange rocks, the eaves of the heavy buildings on all sides, the carved beams and painted columns, Ma Lan's three sons, were sitting on the hay and wearing linen and filial piety, and when he saw Gao Yue coming over, he cried like other guests, and asked, "Where do the guests come from?" ”

"The son of the former official of the king of Fufeng County, now studying in the West Prison." Now Gao Yue has a little understanding of the people and sophistication of the Tang Dynasty, so he stepped forward and said unhurriedly.

The three filial sons didn't think about it, so they bowed and saluted, and invited Gao Yue and Liu De to enter.

When they arrived in the middle hall, the degree of luxury made the two of them even more staggered, "Virtuous brother, look, the head of the scattered water on this base is made of beautiful jade." ”

Gao Yue nodded again and again, and when they stepped on the steps, he saw that there was a white marble hook fence outside the hall of Ma Lan's house, and the center was a heavy aconite door, and after entering, there were eleven open doors in the inner hall, Gao Yue touched it with his hand after stepping in, the door shaft and door turn were all copper, and the four lines of the door cover were vermilion lacquered sandalwood, and the lattice eyes were all drawn with gold wire, so not magnificent!

The person who said that gold, silver and copper were only used by the nouveau riche must be a little bourgeois who can't afford gold, silver and bronze!

In the middle hall, the dougong, the caisson are all endlessly exquisite, the mud on the four walls is made of herbs, shells, pearls grinding and blending, the fragrant fragrance hits people, the terrazzo of the clear water under the feet can shine the reflection of the people, and the people walk in it, just like floating on the clear water surface. What is even more shocking is that Ma Lan's wives and concubines are all wearing white mourning clothes, slightly powdered, kneeling in rows on both sides of the coffin, white pressed together, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth.

Gao Yue stepped forward to imitate others and condoled, peeking at it, among the dozens and hundreds of concubines of the Fufeng King, all of them were charming and moving, Dai Xiao was even more pretty, and each of them cried with pear blossoms and rain, one of them cried and cried, raised his eyes to see Gao Yue, and actually turned his eyebrows and eyes to convey love, and he saw Gao Yue numb.

"Alas, this Fufeng King is traveling west with a crane, and most of these beautiful concubines are probably going to the Nun Temple or the Nuguan, which shows what kind of poor and luxurious life he lived when he was alive - but I yearn for it, I like it."

The two pretended to condole, so they went around in a circle in the middle hall of the Fufeng County Palace, and appeared at the exit of the street by the county palace, the two leaned under a big tree, and Liu Demuro was also immersed in the shock brought by Ma Lu's luxurious middle hall, and said again and again, "If I can be a jinshi, my official career will be promoted, and I can have a private place in the capital, even if it is only the scale of the eleventh west house in Mazhen, my wish in this life is enough." ”

Gao Yue leaned on the side of the tree trunk, looked at the car covers coming and going, and turned Liu De's room with his elbow, "Don't be shocked all the time, see if there are any high-ranking officials you recognize, and we will go back quickly after submitting the papers." ”

Liu Demuro remembered it at this time, so he agreed repeatedly.

At this time, he saw a car parked outside the courtyard wall, and after going to cover it, a dignitary looked like a senior official walking down from above, so he shouted happily, "It's Chang Li, it's Chang Li's waiter!" ”

Before Gao Yue could react, Liu De Room trotted to the Chang Li Servant, and hurriedly made a gesture to the end, "Chang Li Waiter, the late life is Liu De Room in Longxi, I don't know the volume I voted before, did the waiter see it, didn't I read it?" ”

The Chang Lishou seemed to be in a good mood, "De Mu, I have read your line scrolls, and your writing is quite outstanding." ”

Liu Deshu trembled with excitement, and thanked Chang Lishi for his kindness.

But then the regular attendant sighed and continued, "But I can't help, the former ministers Yuan Zai and Wang Jin have done a lot of evil and have been severely punished, and the court is new, and the holy lord has just lowered the white linen system, and I will no longer serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites from now on, and I have no way of knowing this year's tribute." ”

Liu Demuro's face suddenly turned to ashes, "I don't know, I don't know where the waiter is moving?" ”

The Chang Li waiter said proudly, "Bai Ma Xuan, my Chang Gon has served Wang Jin's subordinates, and I am the same as Pingzhang." Before, I had been on the list for three years in a row, and I had selected a lot of dragon and tiger heroes for the Holy Lord, but this year it was really not good. ”

It turned out that this Chang Gon had been the head of the Ministry of Rites (from the ninth to the twelfth year of the Great Calendar, the Ministry of Rites did not have a book, and the squire was actually the number one), and he had ascended to the position of prime minister.

Gao Yue next to him suddenly remembered that when he first came to Chang'an, the old man who went to the court on that snowy night, the old man said to An Lao Hu'er that he had been up and down in the sea for decades, and the promotion opportunity was on the same day.

And that day should be the day when the former prime minister Yuan Zai and Wang Jin were overturned - that night, Jingzhao Mansion Yin sent a thief arrester Guo Forging to break into Pingkangfang and lock up Yuan Zai's young son Yuan Ji Neng, listening to the people in the Taixue Museum, Yuan Zai and his wife, three sons, of course, including Yuan Ji Neng, were immediately wiped out, Wang Jin was spared from death, and was relegated to Kuozhou as the assassin - Emperor Daizong's efficiency was extremely fast, and he must have conspired with a group of ministers in advance, and it was impossible to go alone.

So who is that old man?

From the words he had spoken with An Lao Hu'er that night, it could be inferred that this old man, who loved to eat steamed beard and did not look amazing, was involved in the conspiracy of Emperor Daizong, otherwise he would never have been able to say the word "chance". Then his official position in the court is by no means as low as he looks on the outside, and when he talks about "chances", it is likely that he hopes to eradicate Yuan Zai's exploits and go one step further.

Could it be that the old man also wants to be the prime minister?

Since Chang Gon replaced Wang Jin's subordinate waiter, who replaced Yuan Zai's Zhongshu waiter, isn't it the old man?

Who the hell is this old man!

Before Gao Yue's thinking could come up with an answer, Chang Gon over there finally said, "The person who replaced me as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is Pan Youshu (1) Pan Yan. ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Liu De Room still didn't give up, and asked Chang Gon loudly, "Dare to ask the prime minister, can you have mercy on the German room and give a helping hand?" ”

Chang Gon paused, then shook his head, "I just received the order of Fu Shuo (2), how can I accept it privately!" After speaking, he walked into the vestibule of Ma Lan's house.

Liu Demu fell to the ground in despair, his face desperate, sweating like rain.

Gao Yue hurriedly went up to help, and then he heard the speaker of the Ma Lan family shouting, "Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi Yang Xiangguo came to mourn!" ”
