The name of this village is Ziwuyu, and there were frequent wars in the early years of Wude, and this small mountain village located in the shallow mountainous area of the Qinling Mountains was a good place to avoid chaos that many people could not find. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Surrounded by mountains and rich vegetation, you can see the movement of Chang'an City when you climb to the north. In the event of a rebellion inside and outside the city, as soon as the people of the village turn around and head south, they can plunge into the dense forests of Zhongnan Mountain.

Turning over Cuiwei Mountain to the west, according to the mountain situation, the construction of a royal summer palace in the mountain depression is nearing completion.

There was originally a royal palace there, called Taihe Palace, which was built by order of Emperor Gaozu in the eighth year of Wude. But in the tenth year of Zhenguan, the year when Empress Changsun died, Taihe Palace was ordered to close by His Majesty, that is, the current emperor.

Nearly 20 years later, this place has been almost deserted, only a few people from the palace bureau stay here, and there are people not far from the north palace gate to open up wasteland and farm, and the palace bureau is too lazy to care. But at the beginning of the year, the emperor ordered the Taihe Palace to be rebuilt, and ordered Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to sit here and personally preside over the repair affairs.

When Gao Shenxing arrived at Ziwuyu with his two ladies, the palace under Cuiwei Mountain had been completely renovated, and the new name was Cuiwei Palace. And the name of Taihe Palace has since become an old saying.

When Gao Xianxing carried the bundle of firewood from the Lu family into the village, he was still thinking that after the completion of the Cuiwei Palace that the emperor ordered to be restored, he would be happy...... Or maybe it's a must-have. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the sky and make Your Majesty think of yourself again.

This is not impossible, and the high court dare to think about it is not a fantasy, but a lesson from the past. Master Chu Suiliang Chu, if he hadn't been tossing hard when Yuhang Ding was worried, digging up the fields, and planning donations to Qianzhou, how could he have come out again when Ding was worried?

The system is dead and man is alive, and the matter is man-made. Gao Xianxing was thinking about these big things while carrying firewood, but he ignored the Lu family, who occasionally made small moves behind him.

He thought that Lord Chu could attract His Majesty's attention if he was so far away from the Jingshi, and as long as he had a heart, it would be more convenient than Lord Chu's conditions.

The stream at the west foot of Cuiwei Mountain is near the east gate of Cuiwei Palace, as long as you often go there to fish, it is not impossible to seize such an opportunity. It's just that he has to go near and far, and he has to cross the Cuiwei Mountain in the west of the village from time to time.

When I entered the village, there were no idlers on the street, and when I looked at my yard, I couldn't see Qing Ruoying and Liu Qingping. Besides, you can't give them bundles of firewood and leave them on the street.

Yahuan ran to the front and opened the courtyard door, and Lu Shi had already gently pushed behind him, and he involuntarily entered the courtyard.

Gao Xianxing put down the firewood, and Lu Shi seemed to be afraid that his voice would be raised to attract the attention of the two women in the next courtyard, so he said in a low voice, "Master, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea and rest?" ”

Gao Xianxing turned to look at her, and found that her apricot eyes were affectionate at this time, and she was coquettish, and her heart couldn't stop beating, and her charming style flew out uncontrollably when she was in Qianzhou.

Since Ding Wei, no, it should be said that since his father fell ill and Liu Qingping left Qianzhou for Chang'an, the high trial line has not been close to women for a long time.

Somehow, the woman in front of her made Gao Xianxing feel a little heartbroken. Lu's conditions were good in the eyes of the Gao Shen Xing, but why did she get involved with Ma Xun, an inferior person?

When he was in Qianzhou, he came from behind, and he once let the surnamed Ma retreat on the issue of the Lu family, but at this time, the Lu family was picked up from Qianzhou by "Master Ma", but he felt a little guilty here!

As Lu Shi spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull him, words are not as powerful as actions. But the senior judge shrank his hand, and said to her in the same low voice and a little helplessly, "I'm worried about Ding...... Besides, this is next door to the official, do you want my life?! ”

Lu Shi guessed the true thoughts of Master Gao from his refusal...... Does that mean that if he doesn't worry, nothing is a problem?

Later, he said that he was worried, and he thought even more, of course, this is a courtyard! Isn't he telling himself in a subtle way, if he wasn't here, it wouldn't matter if he didn't worry about anything?

She smiled timidly, and replied, "Master, when did you become so timid, a little different from the great husband in my heart...... But what if I just want your life! ”

Gao Xianxing heard the eldest lady and the third lady talking in his courtyard, and asked the master why he hadn't come back. He was afraid that he would get into trouble if he delayed for a long time, so he whispered, "Don't be entangled, I have to go up the mountain again to chop a bundle of firewood!" ”

He left the Lu family, carried the firewood knife, but did not go to the door of his own yard, but went out of the village and went up the mountain from the other side. Somehow, today's Gao Xianxing had already carried a bundle of firewood for the Lu family's master and servant, but on the second trip, he didn't feel tired at all, as if he was in a good mood.

When he came out again and looked up to see Cuiwei Mountain in the west, he had some awakening to the reason: it turned out that most of his sullen days were still related to fame and everything behind fame.

First, Master Chu's example of successfully getting rid of Ding Wei gave him a hint and made him see hope. And meeting Lu Shi and receiving her hints is also a pleasant thing.

It seems that all the open-minded and detached lofty thoughts, ordinary people just talk about it, and few can really see it! If they can see it, who will saddle the emperor before and after the horse? Who will appease those red faces in the red dust?

A few days ago, in the morning, Gao Shenxing still went fishing by the stream in the south of the village, because he estimated that it would take two days for the Cuiwei Palace to be completed. But soon, Lu Shi also came here with her maid ring.

Lu Shi held a round fan with white silk noodles and embroidered Zhilan. People have also dressed up deliberately, as if people are like Zhilan. Xu Ren fished and allowed people to step on the spring, and she and Yahuan were talking and laughing by the stream not far from the high trial line, which were all topics that had nothing to do with him.

Subsequently, as if unintentionally, Lu Shi threw a small pebble on the surface of the water under his hook, and did not apologize.

Yahuan was scared at first, but after receiving Lu's hints, she was also bold, and directly raised her hand exaggeratedly and threw a bigger one, and the water splashed on Gao Shenxing's shoes. Life in the mountain village is too boring, and she has to have some fun.

But Gao Xianxing was as unmoved as Jiang Taigong, and his current wish was not simply to catch a fish or two, and of course, not to catch those two women.

Today's luck and luck are good, although there are people who make trouble, there is still a big fish on the bait. It struggled in the water for a long time, and almost got its fishing line wrapped around the aquatic weeds. Lu Shi and Yahuan heard the movement and ran to see it.

This is definitely a good sign. Gao Xianxing was very patient, not in a hurry to pull it up, but to follow its meaning to collect and release, believing that this fish is like the emperor, and will always come to the Cuiwei Palace of Zhongnan Mountain.

When it reluctantly resurfaced without the pain on his lips, Gao Xianxing increased his strength a little, pulled it to prevent it from sinking again, and choked it with water one at a time.

In the end, he gave the big fish to Lu Shi and said, "I'm worried that it is inconvenient to eat it, so I will give it to you." Lu Shi couldn't help but thank him, and instructed Yahuandao, "You bring it back to rectify it quickly, I'll wait for the next one." ”

……

In the last two days of March of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Gao Jun, the former governor of Xizhou and the new secretary of the military department, arrived in Chang'an with a large family.

Outside the Jinguang Gate, several elders in the Gao Mansion who could come to the city ran outside the city to greet them, including the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the sixth uncle. Gao Jun entered the main military department, and there was almost no warning beforehand, but for Gao Fu, this was definitely a big good news.

Lord Sun, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, actually came, and this face is not small.

The eldest grandson said that if Prince Li of Jiangxia hadn't rushed to Yingzhou to supervise the military quartermasters, he would definitely have arrived today. And Master Chu was accompanying him at this time, and he couldn't leave it, but he entrusted the guests he relied on to come over.

He introduced Gao Jun to a person behind him and said to Gao Jun, "This is the great talent that Master Chu specially dug up from Yazhou-Master Ma." ”

Gao Jun immediately thought of who this Master Ma was, Chu Suiliang once wrote a letter to Xizhou and introduced him to this Ma Xun. But Cui Yan, Lirong and Su Yin at home talked about it, and then let him treat it coldly. Today, Lord Chu didn't show up, but let Ma Xun come over, it seems that Lord Chu still has some intention of not giving up.

Gao Jun was the first time he had seen Ma Xun, and although this person's flexible fingers and humble words were exquisite, they could not arouse Gao Jun's favor at all. He hurriedly exchanged a few polite words with Ma Xun, and then turned to the eldest grandson and his uncle in the house.

The people in the car, including Cui's, had to come out to salute, and Ma Xun ran up again to offer courtesy, and complimented Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Seven, and Mrs. Cui Yan, saying that they were even better than when they were in Qianzhou.

Then Ma Xun peeked at the other women again, and found that one was more than a fairy, and one was colder than the other. The eldest lady Liu Yuru, the third lady Fan Ying, the fourth lady Siqing, and some of the women who were complimented by him simply turned their faces, let alone say kind words, and didn't even give him a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed very happy, and when he hurriedly led everyone into the city, he also quietly mentioned to Gao Jun the influence of the letter in Xizhou on the court - Li Shiqian stepped down from the post of secretary of the military department, and at this time he had led the troops to the battle, but no one knew what position he would be next until this time.

Gao Jun knew that the eldest grandson could say this to him, so he had the meaning of intimacy, and it was inconvenient to say it no matter how deep it was. But these few sentences are already very useful to Gao Jun. As he walked towards Xinglufang, he guessed what had happened in the court these days.

Li Shiyun made great achievements in war, and was respected by the court as a "virtuous general", and Hou Junji, who was ranked alongside him, had the name of "talented general". In any case, when Li Shiqian led his troops to attack Goryeo, the emperor was unlikely to pull himself over to fill his position as the secretary of the military department.

If Li Shi had any big mistakes and was dismissed, then he should not be allowed to take command of the expedition.

Before entering the mansion, Gao Jun had already thought about it: he could not compare with Li Shiyun in terms of qualifications or military exploits - and before he was promoted to the secretary of the military department, he had only done one thing.

Most of the reason is here, probably in the mind of His Majesty the Emperor, the "virtuous general" is not "virtuous" anymore - but Li Shichang is still a famous general!

The ladies in the high mansion were already waiting inside the gate, and they exchanged greetings. Everyone moved into the hall, Gao Jun only glanced at the middle of the hall, where his grandfather often sits, and it was empty, and two lines of hot tears involuntarily burst out of his eyes.

Behind him, there was a low sobbing voice of women, things are people, yin and yang are separated, all the people from Xizhou are in tears, and the old man looks like yesterday, but it is difficult to say goodbye!

In the evening, the officials of the Gao family returned to the house one after another, except for the high judges. Da Bo Gao is forty-nine years old this year, and he is the assassin of Huazhou; The second uncle is forty-eight years old and serves as an assistant teacher for Guozi; The third uncle Gao Chunxing was forty-seven years old and was appointed as a prisoner; The fourth uncle Gao Zhenxing was forty-six years old and served as the chief of the prince's mansion; The sixth uncle, Gao Shenxing, is forty-one years old this year, and he is the Taizhu of Taichang Temple.

The elders are counted, and the highest grade should be the old five high-level judges, he is the history of the Qianzhou Thorn, and he is the fourth grade. After that, there is high performance, the fourth grade is lower, and then the high true line is from the fourth grade, the high to the line from the sixth grade, the high purity line from the sixth grade, and the high prudence line is the ninth grade.

But the elder pavilion had his last words on his deathbed, but he should not be improperly and improperly named, so that the five senior judges who are the most promising and highest-ranking among the six brothers are worried. This is the one who suddenly pinched off the top child in the high mansion, and it is the one who is in the prime of life.

Until he talked to Gao Jun about this matter, Da Bo Gao still didn't understand, "According to the order of teeth, it should be my worry." ”

He looked at the official robe of the Governor of Sanpin Xizhou that Gao Jun was still wearing at this time, and turned his worries into joy, "But our brothers are even counting the fifth child, standing in front of Gao Jun is nothing." ”

He is referring to Gao Jun's position, after serving as the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Jun's third grade is already regarded as the old imperial calendar, and the old imperial calendar is already two levels higher than Gao Zheng. And now Gao Jun is the third grade, three levels higher than him. The implication of Gao Fulfillment's words, Gao Fu's girder may not be Gao Jun and cannot be picked.

Gao Jun said with a smile, "What did the uncle say, although I have a higher position, sometimes I am still unstable, and I dare not hold it up at home." If you look at what the little nephew is doing inappropriately, a few uncles must speak up and advise. ”

Liu Yuru also answered, "Especially after my grandfather passed away, my uncle is the first person to hold the door, and everyone in the family can manage it, not to mention that he is a junior...... Sometimes it's ridiculous! ”

As she spoke, she looked at Gao Jun again, she had a smile on her face, and she didn't say what this "ridiculous" meant, but her expression clearly said, "You should understand!" ”

Since Princess Dongyang picked up the people from Xizhou to come in, she first looked at Cui Ying's face, Qing Ruoying's comeback made Cui Ying's identity a little embarrassing - she was originally married to a genuine fifth lady, but it became a side room, and I don't know what kind of mood she was in when she entered the mansion again.

Princess Dongyang is the closest to Cui Ying among the concubines of her generation, because she has always thought that these young ladies in the Gao Mansion, that is, she and herself, can afford to hold up the façade, so she is a little ......
