Wake up early the next morning. Guo's family had already prepared breakfast and came over to call someone.

Gao Jun saw his cousin Gao Chang, following behind Liu Yuru and Gao Yao, and the last one sat at the breakfast table. I lowered my eyes and didn't greet anyone. From her expression, she couldn't tell if she had sued Liu Yuru and Gao Yao yesterday.

Looking at Liu Yuru and Gao Yao again, they also can't see anything, and they haven't changed much from the past. But Gao Jun was still a little apprehensive in his heart, taking advantage of people's inattention, peeking at Gao Chang, who knew that Gao Chang was glancing at himself fiercely, and he didn't dare to provoke her, so he hurriedly ate and left the table.

Gao Changhe asked, "Brother Jun, why do you eat so little?" ”

"Brother has something in his heart, so he can't rest assured." Gao Jun said with a pun. This sentence, put in the ears of the sixth uncle Gao Shenxing, he would think that he was thinking about the matter of Xizhou Kumon. And put it in Gao Chang's ears, it was Gao Jun who was afraid that he would be exposed for bullying himself last night. I thought to myself, "I can't imagine that this donkey is also afraid." ”

Yesterday, Gao Chang came back angry, and first decided to complain to the sixth uncle. Thinking about it, this sixth uncle treats Gao Jun like his own son, and he will never speak to himself.

So I wanted to say it to Liu Yuru and Gao Yao, but when I thought about it, one of these two women was a wife and the other was a sister-in-law, and saying it myself would only make them laugh. And what about it? said how powerful the eldest lady of the Gao family has always been, and at night, let a man stand against the wall of a dead end and molested her?

For some reason, Gao Jun felt that the atmosphere at the breakfast table was a little cold. Seeing that there was still some time for the official order of the Xizhou Mansion, he took the doubts in his heart and asked the sixth uncle, "Sixth uncle, I have heard Brother Songtsan mention that he will travel to Yanqi (Peng) country in a few days. But I don't know what the origin of this Yanqi country is, does the sixth uncle know? ”

Gao Shenxing heard this, "This country originally belonged to the D Turks, three hundred and fifty miles southwest of Xizhou. After the Tang Dynasty won Xizhou, the connection between Yanqi and the Turks was severed and it became a small isolated country. I heard that I am in contact with the X Turks again, but the geographical location is very important. ”

Gao Yao also became interested in this topic, "Daddy, tell me quickly, what is the important law?" ”

Gao Shenxing said, "Your father's most contact is nothing more than playing thousands of things, bowing east and west, and he is not a jack of all trades, how can he know everything?" However, for this Yanqi country, because it is not far from Xizhou, I heard from your Uncle Guo and will sell it to you today. ”

"Then let's talk about it soon", Gao Yao's interest was also teased.

"Let's start with the Silk Road. The starting point of the Silk Road in Datang is, of course, Chang'an. At the end of the line, the countries of the Western Regions to the west of the Green Ridge are located. And this Silk Road, there are south and north roads. After passing the Yumen Pass from Chang'an, and then going west, you will encounter a vast and uninhabited depression, which is a large desert called 'Tarim'. Uncle Guo said that this is a Uighur name, which means 'horseless horse', and ordinary horse teams and camel caravans must not cross. Therefore, the two routes of the Silk Road, the north and south, that is, the north and south routes that bypass the 'Tarim'. ”

"Needless to say, the south road is from Yumen Pass to the west, through Liuzhong County, from the south of Xizhou into the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, sticking to the northern edge of the 'Tarim' all the way to the west. Because the ice and snow often melt down on the Tianshan Mountains, and there are 'karez' made by the locals, drinking water is not a problem, and this is the North Silk Road. ”

"Then this Yanqi country is very important, it is located on the throat road of the North Silk Road out of Xizhou, and all the merchants passing by the North Road must pay a certain amount of taxes and silver to the Yanqi country, and people will let them go."

Hearing this, Gao Jun was also thoughtful, feeling that his newly married brother Songtsan went to Yanqi Kingdom, and it was really possible that it was not as simple as playing. But the deeper question is Gao Jun and can't think it through.

I just don't think about it. He had something in his heart, and when he saw that the time had come, he got up and came to the front of the mansion, and Liu Yuru didn't worry about him, so he also followed him.

A family member of the Guo Mansion named Guo Shuang, led Gao Jun and the others, and quickly found Lord Cao Sun Xuan of Xizhou. Last night, Lord Sun was invited to the house to drink by Wang Da, a driver from Xizhou, a driver from the fourth grade, and a Hu Cao from the seventh rank to drink, which has never been a rare thing. There was still a faint smell of wine in Lord Sun's mouth, thinking that Guo Dudu was not here at the moment, don't drive the adult to invite himself to drink, it has the meaning of wooing, and he can't be like an elm pimple, he has to show something. Today is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and in a few days, it will be the New Year.

As soon as Sun Xuan sat in the errand room, Gao Jun and Liu Yuru arrived.

Xizhou is a middle-level state capital, not because of the size of Xizhou's territory, products, and household registration personnel. Rather, it is because of its strategic location on the western border of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the daily business of the Liucao officials in Xizhou is not very complicated.

Tososun was in charge of the accounts, marriages, farms, miscellaneous affairs, roads, and other affairs of the Western State. Although the rank is not high, he is the official in charge of these matters directly under the governor level. Gao Jun wants to get the official document of the demolition and construction of the ranch village, and he has found the right one when he looks for Lord Sun.

Master Sun was thinking about thanking Wang Beijia, and Gao Jun came in to make a gesture and say what he wanted in the future. Sun Xuan immediately remembered something he had heard when he was drinking at the Mansion of the King of Bejia last night. At that time, Wang Yunda's younger brother Wang Yunda was also present, and Wang Yunda inadvertently talked about Liu Zhongmu's deputy supervisor Gao Gao, who was flying and domineering, cutting horses and hurting people.

At that time, Sun Xuan was drinking drunk, and he felt that this Gao Jun was far away in the willow pasture, and he couldn't fight with his eight poles. Therefore, during the banquet, he only made a brief comment on this matter, which was nothing more than saying that this tall man had said something excessive.

In this regard, Master Beijia also reprimanded his younger brother, "You ran to the door of Liu Zhongmu's house for no reason to block the road, and blamed others for being disrespectful to you, this is your fault." You are also a pastoral supervisor, and your grade is one level higher than that tall man, so why don't you know how to let me go, and you have to do things so decisively. ”

Wang Beijia also said to his younger brother, "I know, you carry my banner below on weekdays to bluff people, how can this work?" Your brother and I are not from Xizhou, but not your Wang Yunda alone. It's okay if you do this, but if something happens, I can't help you if I have the heart to help you! ”

At that time, Sun Xuan also sighed sincerely, look at other people's don't drive adults, and treat their own brothers impartially, speaking of Gao Mujian cutting off Wang Mujian's mount, his face did not show any displeasure, but counted his younger brother down.

But look at the tall man in front of him, he is a young man, with a little sleepiness on his face, and he only wears a regular uniform, and he doesn't even wear an official uniform when he comes to the Xizhou official office on business. Master Sun shook his head.

Gao Jun shook his head when he saw him and asked, "I wonder what Lord Sun's opinion is on this matter?" Isn't that appropriate? ”

Sun Xuan said, "This old brother, it seems that you really don't understand the rules, you said that you are Liu Zhongmu's deputy supervisor?" I don't know? Your official credentials are true here, but that's it? ”

Sun Xuan said with a pleasant face and a tactful tone, but he was a little embarrassed to say Gao Jun. I didn't know what I was doing wrong, so I looked at Lord Tocaosun who was sitting in front of me in a daze.

"Where's your uniform?" Master Sun asked.

Gao Jun suddenly realized, looked at the clothes on his body, and was a little embarrassed. I came to Xizhou with an official uniform, and I knew that I was going to come to do something in the morning, so I should put on my official uniform neatly, so I made a gesture again and again, saying, "It's mine, it's not me, I'm going to change it." ”

Master Sun looked at the two people who walked out, and a smile appeared on his face, it seems that this tall man is really a young man who has just entered the officialdom. As soon as Gao Jun and Liu Yuru went out, Master Sun stood up and said to the next reporter, "I have something urgent, go out, if there is anything, you can contact first." ”

He hurried out the door and walked to the mansion of the other lord. Along the way, I sorted out what I had just done, and I felt more and more that there was a lot to be done here.

Last night, from the words of the don't drive the adult, he didn't say what the background or background of this high pastoral supervisor was, coupled with his own observation of this high adult, this high adult's behavior is more like a son's brother, who went to Xizhou Hucao Yamen to approve the document, did not wear an official robe, and pedaled a pair of Tubo style leather boots on his feet. There was even a young woman who was like a flower, he looked like an official of the imperial court!

Thinking about it this way, Master Sun felt that what Lord Don't Drive said at the wine table yesterday had a deep meaning.

He pondered the words of Lord Wang, who had said many things on the matter. Now I see that only a few sentences in these words are the main point, like an unripe green strawberry, hidden under the complicated seedlings: "Why don't you know how to let go, and you have to do things so decisively...... I can't help you if I want to! ”

Ha! Lord Sun Xuan slapped his thigh as he went. There is a way to be obedient and listen to the sound, and I almost missed an opportunity to get close to the king!

Gao Jun pulled Liu Yuru and almost trotted all the way back to the back house of Guo's mansion. Because he heard Liu Yuru say uncertainly, tomorrow Xiaonian, it is uncertain whether these officials of Liucao will take a day off. If you do have a holiday, you will have to delay it for another day. And the two of them have been delayed for enough days, I don't know if Gao Yu will jump up in a hurry in Ranch Village.

Gao Jun hurriedly changed into his official robe, and pulled Liu Yuru back to Hucao Yamen again.

When he entered the door, he saw that Master Sun was not there, the seat was empty, and only one of the reporters told him that Master Sun had just gone out. When I asked when I would be back, I said I wasn't sure.

The two of them were in the room for a while, but they didn't see the shadow of Lord Sun, and seeing the time pass little by little, Gao Jun couldn't sit still and began to spin on the ground.

Liu Yuru saw more of the world than Gao Jun, and at first persuaded Gao Jun not to be impatient, but then he couldn't see the shadow of this Lord Sun, and he had some doubts in his heart. She and Gao Jun had come once in the morning, and this Master Sun knew that he had business to handle in the morning, but he went out quietly, and it seemed that he didn't say a few words to the reporters who stayed behind.

Looking at the three poles on the sun, there is still no one in sight, and I said that this Lord Sun will not show up before noon. So he pulled Gao Jun back to the backyard. Sixth Uncle Gao Shenxing saw them and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Liu Yuru replied on behalf of Gao Jun, "Sixth Uncle, we didn't wait for anyone all morning. ”

Gao Shenxing said, "How come? It is not a year or a festival, and at this time, the officials of Liucao should not go away for a long time without seeing people. ”

After lunch, Gao Jun said to Liu Yuru, "You have been with me for a long time, but you haven't done anything." After all, I also know what to do, and you will accompany Gao Yao's sister in the next half a day. After speaking, he went to Hucao Yamen to wait.

Gao Jun had been waiting at Hucao Yamen until it was almost time to reach Shen, and this Sun Da only slowly paced in. When he raised his eyes and looked at Gao Jun's dress, he immediately recognized that this kid's grade was higher than his own. But so what, the radish is small and standing on his back, and he still has to sit here obediently and wait?

He hugged his fists and said to Gao Jun, "Lord Gao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the officials are in a bit of a hurry, will it make Lord Gao wait?" ”

Gao Jun said, "Where, Lord Sun is in charge of the affairs of a state, and there are always official affairs, how dare you wait patiently?" ”

Sun Xuan has just returned from the mansion of Lord Don't Drive. As soon as he entered the mansion of the other adults, he seemed to inadvertently talk about Gao Jun's approval of the office documents.

Wang Beijia said, "It's good that the ranch below wants to do more things, and the officials of our state government must be urgent and not delayed", while preparing a sumptuous lunch, forcibly pulling Sun Xuan, saying that he must eat before leaving.

This meal was eaten for nearly two hours.

On the way back. This Lord Hu Caosun has the bottom in his heart. He probably listened to Gao Jun's plan to demolish and build a ranch village, and secretly gritted his teeth and said, "It's a little difficult for the lower officials to handle such a big thing...... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Gao Jun listened to the first half of Lord Sun's words, and was still worried that it was indeed a matter of difficulty, after all, it was not a trivial matter to demolish and build a village, perhaps it was really limited to authority, which made Lord Sun feel difficult.

But as soon as he heard his last words, the anger that had been suppressed for nearly a day could no longer be suppressed, and he kicked down Sun Xuan's book case and scolded, "You are a thief, what are you shirking, you know that it is difficult to do, why don't you go back to the yamen for most of the day to show up?" I know it's difficult, why don't you ask for an official? Now that it's dark, you just want to send your grandfather away again, it's not that easy! If you don't explain the matter to me clearly today, grandpa will definitely be over with you! ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xuan's clothes, pulled him up, and yelled, "Go!" I know that Lord Guo is not in Xizhou, and now Lord Beijia Wang is presiding, you and I will go to see Lord Beijia, let's make it clear! ”

Sun Xuan was very annoyed at first, how could this ranch official below be so unreasonable! rushed to Gao Jun and shouted, "Loosen up this official!" You are bold, I have never seen you like this, despise the Shangfu, roar at the government, and pay it back! ”

Gao Jun didn't listen, as soon as he heard him say this, instead of letting go, he slapped Sun Xuan on the ground, slapped Sun Xuan in the mouth, and then threw him in the corner and scolded, "If you don't listen to him, I will beat you all over the face!" ”
