According to the system of the Tang Dynasty's wife, a woman who is married and has the status of a wife should be named the wife of the country. Then their husbands are either officials from the first rank or above, such as the prince and the prince, the prince, the taifu, the taibao, the situ, the sikong and the like. Or an official with the title of prince of the county or the rank of the Order of the State.

Gao Jun is the secretary of the military department and the third product. Then even if Liu Yuru has a knighthood, the highest should only be a county lady. But her title of "Mrs. Yaoguo" is really a good product.

If the wife of the elder is alive, she can also be a lady of the country. That is to say, at present, the entire Gao Mansion, even the Xinglufang Gao Mansion and the Yongning Fang Gao Mansion, there is only Liu Yuru, the lady of the country.

Mrs. Cui Ying's title is a five-grade county monarch, which she obtained when she served as the four-rank chief historian in the high review line, and has not been awarded the title since. In the future, Cui's will not be considered a wife, and it is estimated that this will end here.

This grade is the same as Xie Jinlian, Fan Ying, Siqing, Lirong, Su Yin and other seven people. In this way, Cui Ying and Cui Yan, the mother and daughter, are both five wives, and they are both side rooms, and they are also county gentlemen.

In addition, Sibo Gao Zhenxing is the head of the prince's mansion from the fourth rank, and her wife is already a county lady.

Shi Gaomin, the governor of the Imperial Protectorate, rose from the fourth rank, and her wife Ding was very likely to be awarded the title of county king. And the other two generations of ladies in Gaofu don't have to think about it in the near future.

But Gao Zheng's wife An has always been uncomfortable with this, and once said to her husband in private, "What is this? How can there be a side room and a lady! ”

Gao Zheng said, "What the hell are you doing here?" The county monarch of the family was not robbed, but was sealed by the emperor. ”

An said, "But you don't know how to fight for it, and you have already served in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and there is no improvement." Look at these years, Gao Jun has been rising gradually, and you are still the head of the Ministry of Officials from the Eighth Rank! ”

Gao Zheng smiled bitterly, "Even if I am promoted again, you will not be able to be named Mrs. Guo, right?" ”

An Shi and Liu Yuru are too different from each other, except for envy, they don't even have jealousy in their hearts.

However, she encouraged her husband and said, "Look at the patriarch Sun Run, if it wasn't for Gao Jun's care, it would take more than a year to get to Mabe Langzhong." ”

Gao Zheng was silent, and his wife said again, "How many sons of the prince can't even take a good errand?" Why is it okay for people to run the family? You and Gao Jun are cousins, why don't you go and ask him? Sometimes stupidity doesn't work. ”

Gao Zheng was embarrassed and said to his wife, "The Ministry of Officials is the place where the officials are governed, I am in the Ministry of Officials, how can I take such a path!" Spread it out and make people laugh. ”

An Shi said angrily, "You are normal walking between brothers, who would laugh at you?" Some people can't find a way to go! You look at the tall people, the monthly salary is 5,000, plus miscellaneous is 6,000. And your monthly income is only 1,300 per month, plus 5500 for food and miscellaneous uses, which is only 1,855 in total. ”

Gao Zheng smiled, "Your account code is clear!" What's wrong with him six thousand? When I'm rare! The nine ladies in Gao Jun's mansion got one point, and one of them got less than 700 yuan. And I'm all yours alone. ”

An Shi said, "You only see this dead money, but you can't see so many shares in the silkworm, mulberry, and silk weaving industry in Xizhou!" Besides, who goes to Yongning Fang to ask for a good errand and can't bring some money over? But who begs you? ”

Gao Zheng couldn't pull this face to open his mouth from beginning to end, but An couldn't sit still. first discussed with her mother-in-law, the wife of the third Gao Chunxing, and her mother-in-law actually supported it.

Her mother-in-law muttered to her daughter-in-law, see no, after your grandfather passed away, no matter how big the family business is, sooner or later, Gao Jun has already become an independent house! Only a person like you will think of these things in advance! In my opinion, the characters at the top of the Gaofu Gate in the future will also be Gao Jun, and I agree that your younger generation will move around a lot and pull closely!

But you can't go empty-handed, Gao Chunxing's wife said, "If there is less, we can't take it in Gaofu, but if there are too many and see outside, the smell of begging is too strong......"

……

After Gao Jun returned from Yingzhou, on the first day of going to the court, the court was talking about the good news from the Goryeo front. The emperor was very happy that the Tang army occupied Sunan City and Mudi City, but he didn't know how big this Sunan City and Mudi City were, because he had never heard of it.

Therefore, the military department official Langzhong presented a map of Goryeo, and the emperor searched on the map, and it took him a long time to find these two places, which were two small cities in the hinterland of the upper reaches of the Cheongcheon River.

"Bingbu, how do you see the progress of the war in Goryeo?"

Li Daozong, Chu Suiliang and the others had already guessed a few points from the emperor's tone, and he was not very satisfied with the progress of Li Shi's war.

This is the first time that the emperor has asked the new secretary of the military department in the court, as a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, how does Gao Jun evaluate the Goryeo war, and the impact on Li Shi is always not a drizzle.

However, Master Chu guessed that Li Shi was the outgoing secretary of the military department, and was taken over by Gao Jun at a young age, he didn't say it, but he must have some thoughts in his heart.

But Li Shi is scheming, and he has behaved a little too much on the battlefield this time, who is he playing with?! If he Chu Suiliang led the army, maybe he Chu Suiliang would always work hard, to show that he was open in his heart and was not affected by the resignation.

But Li Shi dared, and the two good news actually made His Majesty the Emperor look for a long time!

Of course, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and perhaps the slower advance is just a sign of the hard work ahead. There is a way that is strange and right, Li Shi played this hand, and people who are not bold and confident cannot do it.

But it also just shows that the British Duke Li Shi is really a little dissatisfied with his departure from the military department.

Li Daozong also thought that this time he was in Yingzhou, worrying about raising military supplies, and Gao Jun personally ran over after taking office, in case His Majesty was not satisfied with the war, then even himself and Gao Jun would not be too comfortable.

And Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State, knows the emperor's way of looking at people and asking questions. His Majesty is asking about the war on the front line, but in fact, he is also looking at Gao Jun's performance.

If Gao Jun says some negative comments at this time, he must have one, two, three, four, otherwise, it will inevitably leave people with the feeling of being a little bit and taking the opportunity to trample on his predecessor.

This is always bad for Gao Jun.

But Li Shi gave Gao Jun a chance to step on half of his foot this time! The eldest grandson didn't know much about Li Shi, and he had a big problem for the new military department Shangshu, and the question was asked by the emperor himself.

Then it can be regarded as an invisible contest between the old and the young, thousands of miles away.

Because of his relationship with Gaofu, the eldest grandson was afraid that Gao Jun would say something bad in his response. Because Li Shi then had the possibility and ability to suddenly make a big victory, then he would put Gao Jun inside.

He believes that an important minister who is proficient in dealing with the court can only have one answer to His Majesty's question, so as not to fall into the passivity of the back.

But what will Gao Jun do?

Between the top and bottom of the question and answer, the time is only between the lightning and flint, and it is impossible for him to give Gao Jun some hints. When the eldest grandson Wuji went to look at him opposite, Gao Jun had already left the class and said:

"Your Majesty, do you think these two places are not easy to find? In fact, Weichen also searched for a long time at the bottom before finding it! ”

The Emperor smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gao Jun said, "I think that the British duke's wedge point this time is very clever!" Goryeo's invasion of Silla undermined our checks and balances on Goryeo, Baekje and Silla. Scratch Suwen a little tickle and let him know that Datang was not happy about his invasion of Silla. The minister thought that the British prince did not make a bold move as soon as he came up, and chose the important town in the north of Goryeo to fight with all his strength, which was just the right understanding of His Majesty's intentions. ”

The emperor couldn't help but nod slightly, and the eldest grandson secretly sighed, but the emperor asked again: "Then what does the military department think about the next direction of the war?" ”

Gao Jun said, "Your Majesty, General Xue Li, the righteous brother of Weichen, also has news from the front line, the two cities of southern Jiangsu and Mudi occupied by the army, in fact, we did not use 40,000 troops, but the British duke arranged a thousand people to enter the territory of Goryeo to collect grain and grass, and took the sheep to occupy it. ”

The emperor blinked, he really didn't know this.

Gao Jun said, "We haven't touched the roots. The army used the resources of Goryeo to recuperate and wait for work, and if Gai Suwen did not withdraw his troops from Silla, we would cut him with a knife and eat it, and strengthen the army. Gai Suwen returned to the army, it was not worth it. If you don't return to the army, it's uncomfortable. Isn't that what we are doing this time? ”

The Emperor nodded again, "That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have sent only 40,000 horses over!" ”

Gao Jun said again, "Your Majesty asked about the direction of the next war, Weichen is not in Goryeo, it is not easy to speculate, but the general trend of the war, you can always talk about it, and you dare not say whether it is right or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The British Duke has been in the military formation for a long time and is familiar with the art of war, if Gai Suwen hurriedly returns to the north, I am afraid that the British Duke will be waiting for him for a long time. And Silla is likely to move behind the Goryeo army, and Gai Suwen will not take advantage. And he must not be stupid, we have not touched his town, and it is somewhat unlikely that he will fight with us for a few barren and remote places. He could probably guess that the reason for our dispatch was actually meant for Silla. Weichen thought that he was afraid that he would eventually withdraw his troops from Silla obediently, turn his head and show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty again, begging us to let him go. ”

"And after that?" The Emperor asked.

"After that, in order to make it clear to Gai Suwen what we mean, it is not worth it to withdraw the few small places we occupy and send troops to guard them! And it is not a small cheap to raise the needs of our army from there! ”

The Emperor asked, "Then when do you expect Gasuwen to show favor to us?" If he relents, I wouldn't mind letting him go. ”

Gao Jun bowed down and said, "I'm afraid that it will take some small gains on the sea road, General Niu of Zuo Wuwei, to make Gai Suwen make this decision." ”

The emperor was overjoyed, "Good! We'll see! But the household, last time I asked you to make a general account, I don't know what the result was! ”

"Your Majesty, in the eighteenth year of the crusade, the 150,000 army consumed 4.6 million taels of silver. From 19 to 20 years, an army of 60,000 and 20,000 by sea marched together, costing 2,450,000 taels of silver. And this year's war is not over yet, and it seems that it has been ...... at present."

"How much?"

"One million and two thousand taels have been spent. However, since the military department took office, except for the last 40,000 taels spent, there has been no more spending! ”

……

In the evening, when Gao Jun came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Liu Yuru was angry with Xie Jinlian.

When the sister-in-law of the third uncle's family, An Shi, came, Liu Yuru was going out with Fan Ying, Siqing, and Cui Yan to practice horses. The little white horse that Gao Jun brought back from Yingzhou had recovered after conditioning, and Cui Yan was anxious to go out for a ride, so they went out together.

At this time, An came to visit the house, she first visited the fifth aunt Cui, brought a fine silk to Mrs. Cui, and then came to the inner house.

Cui Ying thought that they were the younger generation of concubines talking, and it was not good for them to mix, so they didn't come along.

It happened that Xie Jinlian was at home, of course, she came forward to talk to the third sister-in-law.

An Shi and Xie Jinlian were very enthusiastic and asked her about Xizhou. is full of curiosity and longing for what Xie Jinlian said about Xizhou.

Then he begged, "I heard that the colorful silk in Xizhou is very famous, and it is also sold in the East Market, and I usually buy it to collect, but I am very itchy about those newly come out of the fancy style, can you ask for some in-demand patterns for me?" ”

Xie Jinlian said, "Third sister-in-law, you have seen the outside, what's so difficult about this?" Sister Su and Sister Lilan are both there, as long as I send a letter, I promise to get you three or five horses with the latest tricks. ”

An said, "That's the best, first order the three latest horses, and I'll leave the money to you, you don't have to forget." ”

As he spoke, he took five hundred taels of silver and gave it to Xie Jinlian. Xie Jinlian said, "How can you use so much?!" But An's said, "It's not about money, it's just about being new." ”

The current price of a horse of raw silk is 470 wen, and Caijuan from Xizhou is sold for 2,650 wen a horse in the east market of Chang'an.

Xie Jinlian listened to the calculation in her heart: the third sister-in-law only needs three horses, so it will not exceed ten taels of silver at most, and Xie Jinlian doesn't want to push out the silver that An stuffed over.

The two said a few more idle words, and An Shi complained bitterly, saying that the third brother Gao Zheng copied and wrote in the ministry, not to mention the hard work, and he had no identity. As the daughter-in-law of the Gao Mansion, she also had a dull face, and she couldn't wait to avoid people when she came to Yongning Fang, so she didn't know how many times she was sad.

Xie Jinlian couldn't hear the meaning of the other party's words, but said, "This...... You can't force it, you see I don't care what position Jun is, in short, it's better for the family to be happy together than anything else! ”

An secretly said, you are just a side room, and you can also have a county monarch, of course you won't care! If my Gao Zheng also achieved three grades, wouldn't I say so like you?

But fortunately, the money arrived, and a major event was completed, An got up to say goodbye, and invited Xie Jinlian to speak to her in the next few days.

When Liu Yuru heard about this when she came back, she complained at the time, "Jin Lian! You don't think about it, and you're happy when you see a lot of money. It is clear that this is the third sister-in-law who came to talk about the position of the third brother! How did Jean Jun do it? I did something for her, for fear that others would say that we would be idle as soon as we entered Chang'an. If you don't do it for her, you won't be able to save face. Do you think the third sister-in-law can't settle the account and let you carry three horses of silk with five hundred taels of silver?! ”

Xie Jinlian said aggrievedly,
