Besides, he walked to his car with Lian Daning and asked, "Does the teacher live in the post house?" ”

"Well, I was originally going to live in the teacher's house, but the teacher asked me to avoid suspicion." Lian Daning Road.

"Then live in my house, the post house is not convenient at home." Besides, he laughed.

"Then what's the matter, I'll still live in a post house, you have a lot of things."

"What's the matter, the arrival of the teacher is the biggest thing, I haven't done anything in the past few days, just to accompany your old man."

Besides, he said to Ji Chang: "You send a few people to follow a few adults to the post house and help bring my teacher's bags to the house." ”

Ji Chang agreed, and sent five people to ride horses and follow Lian Daning's men to the post house.

Lian Daning was a little reluctant, mainly because he was embarrassed, after all, he was an official in power, and the teacher should take care of the disciples and promote the disciples, but now he wants to let his students protect themselves, and he really can't let go of this face.

His subordinates were overjoyed, and after hearing about the glorious events in Beijing for a long time, they knew that he was now the number one powerful man in the dynasty, and they were willing to let go of the opportunity to get close to him and befriend him.

Once the officials of other provinces enter the capital, they are really unaware of everyone, even if you are the dragon and phoenix among the people, you have to lie down honestly, needless to say that the Beijing officials do not look at them squarely, that is, the citizens of Beijing who have seen the world look down on the officials of other provinces.

In ancient times, officialdom regarded Beijing officials as ascending immortals, and although this atmosphere has changed since the Song Dynasty, it is still an indisputable fact that Beijing officials are superior to officials from other provinces.

Lian Daning is also majestic in Nanjing, a trip is the front and back hugs, can not be a lifetime, to the capital, just like a lost dog, every day in the post house stay, where do you dare to play any prestige.

He thought that he went to Kyoto to live in Xu Jie's mansion, and he was accompanied by Xu Jie's family when he went out, and there was still some face everywhere he went.

If it weren't for leading him this time, it would basically be a dream to see Gao Gong, just because he was Xu Jie's proud protégé, Gao Gong would definitely be turned away. He also met the officials who were waiting in front of the gate of the High Arch Mansion, and there were few people of lower rank than him, and they were not the targets of liquidation.

After getting in the car, he looked at the night scene outside the window, and then said with a wry smile: "Teacher, is the situation very serious now?" ”

He understands that Lian Daning is also a high-minded and arrogant person, but as long as there is still a way to go, he will not do such a lowly and compromising thing, let alone any face.

"If the master is in one day, we can survive for one day, once the master abdicates, this big tree will fall, and we, the monkeys on the tree, can't escape if we want to." Lian Daning said gloomily.

"Don't worry, teacher, didn't Gao Xiang accept your gift list?"

"I took it, but it's hard to keep it......"

"No, he accepted the gift list to mean that he won't do anything to you, although Gao Xiang is a little more domineering, he always counts when he speaks, the teacher lives in my house, have a good rest today, and let's go to see Zhang Xiang tomorrow." There I cooked. Besides.

"Zhang Xiang will meet me?" Lian Daning couldn't believe it.

He heard that Zhang Juzheng's resentment towards Xu Jie was bigger than Gao Gong, and he didn't dare to have the idea of meeting Zhang Juzheng.

This matter originated from a small trick played by Xu Jie when he drafted the edict of Emperor Jiajing, he led Zhang Juzheng to draft the edict with him, but did not let Gao Gong participate, and Gao Gong should have been the best candidate.

Later, Gao Gong hated this matter to the core, and he was reluctant to give up on Xu Jie, most of the reasons came from this, and some of them were old things in the Jiajing period.

Zhang Juzheng also had a great grudge, feeling that he had accidentally fallen for Xu Jie, which was obviously to pull hatred for him, and wanted to establish him as a hostile opponent of Gao Gong, and Xu Jie could get out of it.

Only he understood what Xu Jie meant by doing this, and he didn't explain it to anyone.

"Don't worry, when the teacher became this inspector, Master Zhang made a lot of efforts, and it can be regarded as fate. Besides, no matter who your disciple is, one thing is certain, you are my teacher, and whoever wants to embarrass the teacher will not be able to get along with me. Whoever can't get along with me, I won't let him get by. Besides.

Lian Daning was shocked, he didn't expect that he was so domineering now, and the number one tyrant in the capital really deserved his reputation.

Besides, he has no bottom in his heart, he is so high-profile just to cheer up Lian Daning, and when people are entangled, they can't lose psychologically.

He could see that Lian Daning was a little frightened, and when he saw Gao Gong, Gao Gong didn't say anything cruel to him, so he was scared to the point of collapse, if he didn't give him some confidence, Lian Daning wouldn't have collapsed.

However, he is not bragging, according to the current momentum, there are not many people in the court who want to provoke him, at least they dare to come openly, at most, they let the officials in his faction impeach him, but it has no effect at all.

The last time he took five hundred guards to visit Rosie at home, he posed in a posture of raiding his house, and everyone thought that he must be unlucky, but he didn't expect that the emperor didn't say a word after that, and acquiesced in his behavior.

Strange to say, besides, on the way back, a major case was solved, and the remnants of the White Lotus Sect tried to ambush the Jinyi Guard commander in the city, and the five hundred people he brought with him were thus legitimate. This matter cannot be faked, there are also nearly 100 shops on that commercial street, and those people are all witnesses.

As a result, he swaggered through the market, and even made a great contribution.

Those who wanted to deal with him all gathered up, and no one wanted to offend him, in case he surrounded the mansion with five hundred or even thousands of brocade guards, and put on a posture of raiding the house, not to mention anything else, he would be scared to death, and he would be even more faceless after that.

Besides, of course, he can find many excuses, in the name of searching the White Lotus Sect, he can search anyone's mansion, as long as he is not afraid of taking responsibility afterwards, now it seems that no matter what he does, the emperor will be willing to take responsibility for him, which makes people helpless, no matter how big anyone is and how strong his power is, he can't be stronger than the emperor.

Lian Daning's face was much better at this time, he was mainly at war with heaven and man in his heart, and felt that he was too sorry for his mentor Xu Jie, which was tantamount to selling his master for glory.

At that time, the most important relationship between the civil official faction was the relationship between the teacher, the seat teacher, the house master and the protégé disciples, and once this relationship was formed, they had to remain loyal for life.

Just like with Lian Daning, it is the relationship between the teacher and the student, as long as Lian Daning is unlucky, it is said that he will be unlucky, if Lian Daning is developed, he must first promote his protégé, and this relationship is more solid than the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

In addition, it is a kind of family faction, a large powerful family, how many generations have been a family and three princes, and protégés and disciples are all over the world, thus forming a variety of complex relationship networks, and the center of the power network is controlled by each family. The powerful families in Beijing are not exactly the same as the wealthy families along the coast, but these powerful families are more powerful and powerful than the wealthy families in Jiangnan and the coastal areas, even the emperor and the prime minister sometimes have no way to deal with them.

This time, the group of people who let the White Lotus Sect infiltrate the capital was the result of the full operation of the powerful family, and the emperor had to pinch his nose to approve it, but it was changed to a secret negotiation, which could be regarded as a courtesy exchange.

Lian Daning once had a period of time when he was about to be dismissed, that was when Xu Jie was attacked by everyone, and then his teacher Chen Musha and Zhang Juzheng saved him, not only was he not dismissed, but he was promoted to Nanjing as an inspector, and the credit for this is not small.

"As long as Zhang Xiangken sees me, thank God, I don't want to have any fate, it wasn't mine." Lian Daning deflated.

Zhang Juzheng helped him that time, and there was really no reason for him, mainly because of Chen Musa's face, that is to say, Lian Daning still owes Chen Musa a great favor.

"The teacher doesn't have to be discouraged, the emperor still respects Xu Xiang very much, and he will not let anyone liquidate Xu Xiang's protégé disciples." Besides.

"The emperor's respect for the master can only keep the master and the prime minister abdicate with dignity, and now with your help, I can save myself, and others will not be able to escape the doom." Lian Daning seems to be both happy and a little sad, but the reality is sometimes so cruel.

There are a lot of disciples of Xu Jie, but there are still a few officials in the court, like Lian Daning, who is already a high-ranking official according to the inspection envoy, if Gao Gong wants to be liquidated, Lian Daning is definitely the first batch of people to be liquidated.

Besides, with a sigh, of course he will not get involved in this kind of power struggle, as long as he can keep Lian Daning, he doesn't know anyone else at all, and he can't manage it so much if he wants to.

Gao Gong is now a scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, the first person in the court, it is easy for him to liquidate some officials, even the emperor will not interfere with his powers, not to mention that the emperor has always listened to Gao Gong's opinion on these things.

After returning home, he asked someone to clean up a few rooms to house Lian Daning's men, and Lian Daning lived in his bedroom.

Lian Daning was also startled when he saw the pomp and circumstance of his house, more than a hundred guards defended the house like an iron bucket, this is still the elite soldiers of the two provinces living in the barracks, otherwise his home would be a standard barracks.

"I've always heard that you're developed, but I really didn't expect to be able to achieve this." Lian Daning said with emotion.

"What's this, it's just the style of Jinyiwei, it's just a little different from other officials. Actually, I really don't like this set yet. Besides, he laughed.

At first, I really didn't get used to these guards living in my own home, and I felt that my home had become a barracks, and I couldn't find the original feeling, and I slowly got used to it.

"Isn't this Lian Daren? Why did you fall into the water, you were soaked. Zhou Dingcheng came out and laughed loudly.

He was sharp-eyed, and at a glance he saw that Lian Daning was in a depressed mood, looking like he had been rescued ashore after falling into the water, as for saying that he was wet was just an image, the cold sweat on Lian Daning's body had already dried up.

"Lao Zhou, I heard that you are also developed, and now you are a fourth-grade official, God is really blind."

Lian Daning knew that Zhou Dingcheng had been staying by his side, and it was indeed a great pleasure in life to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country, and his troubles could be temporarily left behind.
