Chapter 297: A Coincidental Encounter with Lian Daning
Besides, when he came out of the house, he arched his hand to the people he knew on both sides, and the so-called acquaintance was that he had met occasionally, and he was a little familiar, and he didn't even know his surname.
As for those officials in other provinces, of course, he simply didn't know them.
"Who is this person, he looks like a big one, he looks like a bull fork, he just went in, it's really annoying."
"You can't be angry, this is the first dignitary of the dynasty, the celebrity in front of the emperor, known as the first tyrant in Beijing."
"It's so big, and he's still dominant, those big guys will let him be presumptuous?"
"What can I do if I can't tolerate it, this man is not only a celebrity in front of the emperor, but also a person who is high-profile and Zhang Xianglibao, what a big man, he is a big man."
"That's so good, but it's too young, what's the point."
"I don't know, it turned out to be one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, and later he became developed in Beijing."
"Hey, it's said that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor."
"Oh, no wonder, no wonder."
Suddenly, there were all kinds of sounds, all of which looked like they had suddenly realized.
"It's all nonsense, don't believe this rumor, if it's really the illegitimate son of the emperor, you have to be crowned the king anyway, and what kind of official you are."
"That's it, Fengzi Longsun who suffers from this crime."
Moreover, behind him, there was a string of whispers, all of which made people jealous and hateful.
Besides, I have heard these words, and I don't care, the officials here in Beijing have already said enough of this kind of thing, and they are already bored, so they simply don't say it.
He had just stepped out of the street and was about to get into the car, but he saw a few shadows under the wall next to him, and he was afraid to move forward, and he suddenly thought of a person in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few steps there, and when he saw one of them, he was surprised.
He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Teacher, why are you here?" ”
"Ah, yes...... Besides, why are you? ”
The person under the wall is none other than Nanjing's envoy Lian Daning, and besides, he is the master.
"I'm here to visit Lord Gao, I just came out, but you're ......"
At this time, he also recognized the two people around Lian Daning, who were the people from the Nanjing Inspectorate's Mansion, and the two others he didn't know, who should also be his followers in the Inspector's Mansion.
"I ......"
Lian Daning shook his head with an unspeakable and embarrassed look, his face full of sadness.
Besides, after thinking about it for a while, I understood that Lian Daning must have come to visit Gao Gong. However, Lian Daning is Xu Jie's proud protégé, and now coming to visit Gao Gong is equivalent to throwing himself into the court, which is suspected of betrayal.
"Teacher, it's not convenient to talk here, so come and talk in my car." Besides, he waved his hand to let his car come over, and stepped forward to hold Lian Daning's arm.
The people around Lian Daning were very envious when they saw that they were so majestic now, not to mention the fierce guards around them, even this car, they couldn't find one in Jiangnan.
In fact, there are not many in Beijing, only the prince's mansion can find such a luxurious vehicle, high arches, Xu steps are generally sedan chairs, although they are also very luxurious, but not as generous as this imperial carriage.
The two got into the car, and the people around Lian Daning came over to get close to Ji Chang and the others.
They all know that they are now the commanders of the Jinyi Guard, and they are more majestic than them, although they are all third-grade officials, of the same rank, but the Beijing officials are naturally a few points higher than the foreign officials, not to mention the officials of the Jinyi Guard.
"My teacher asked me to come, but I couldn't get there." Lian Daning hung his head and said.
"Xu Xiang asked you to come and ask to see Gao Xiang?" Besides, I was stunned.
"Yes, I originally went to Beijing to report on my work, and when my teacher saw me, he had to force me to come to see Gao Xiang, saying that his old man's time had passed, and we disciples had to find another way." Lian Daning's eyes were a little red.
"No, besides, the high-profile teacher also knows, he won't see you." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
"I know, but my teacher said that even if I make this gesture, it's fine. In the future, he may be able to read this little bit of affection, and he will not be too ruthless when he starts. ”
"Start?"
"Of course, if the master abdicates and the scenery is no longer good, the fate of our disciples will be worrying, and it will even be difficult to escape the reckoning."
"Liquidation?" I really don't know about it.
However, he recalled that when Su Dongpo was proud, his disciples, including his friends, were all prosperous, and when he was demoted and exiled, these people were also unlucky and exiled everywhere together, but in the Song Dynasty, it was a party dispute, is it so fierce now?
"Don't worry, I don't know if the liquidation is not liquidated, but you are my mentor, as long as I am still in this position, no one will dare to liquidate you." Besides, the evil energy came up again, and said viciously.
Lian Daning was both sad and relieved when he heard this, did he want to take refuge in his own disciples in the future? Maybe it's fate.
"Since the teacher is here, let's meet Gao Xiang, it just so happens that I am also here, otherwise you will not be able to enter the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion even if you wait for a few days." Besides.
Besides, it's not nonsense, just the people lined up outside the high arch now, it is estimated that it will take three days to meet them, and there will be people lining up tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, that is to say, these officials at all levels in the queue, even if they are in line, they may not be able to be summoned by the high arch.
"Can you help me get in line?"
Lian Daning originally mustered up the courage to pass, but when he saw the people waiting to be summoned outside, he was also discouraged, but he felt panicked if he didn't see him, lest he be suppressed or even liquidated by Gao Gong in the future.
"What's the queue, I just came out, just go in again." And it's very chic.
Lian Daning thinks he is bragging, the Prime Minister's Mansion is your home, you can enter if you say it. He really didn't expect that besides, now he would enter the prime minister's mansion as if he was at his own home, Zhang Juzheng's mansion was the same as his house, and he didn't need to report when he entered or exited, and Gao Gong also opened the middle door here to greet him.
Moreover, he led Lian Daning directly past the two factions and arrived in front of the gate of the High Arch Mansion.
The people in the back blew up the nest.
"Why is he here again, and this still doesn't let people live?"
"It's just that you like the pomp and circumstance of people opening the door to greet you, so it won't be so showy."
"That's it, we've been lining up for two days."
"I don't have such a queue cut, it's too immoral."
Besides, no matter what these people said, Lian Daning was uneasy in his heart, lest he would be kicked out. He looked at the high arch of several gatehouses, his face was not good, and he had a posture of wanting to kick people.
Besides, he stepped forward and smiled at a housekeeper: "Brother, I'm here again, but this time it's not me who came to see the boss, it's my mentor who just came from out of town, and I want to see the boss, please let the brother report it." ”
The housekeeper couldn't cry or laugh, if it was someone else, he would have let his family blow out, but the master in front of him couldn't afford to offend, just now I saw the expression of the chief housekeeper sending him out, everything didn't need to be explained, not to mention that the adults valued him so much, otherwise he wouldn't have opened the middle door to greet him just now.
There are only two times when the middle door is opened in the high arch mansion, one is the last time Zhang Juzheng came to visit unexpectedly, and the other time is this time to open it for the sake of the situation.
"Besides, sir, please come in." The housekeeper simply didn't let them wait for the report, no matter who the person with them was, since they were here, the master would definitely not be gone, so it was better to be a favor.
But I opened the middle door just now, and I can't open it again this time, otherwise this guy will be addicted, and he will come for a while, and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not need to be closed.
Sure enough, after the housekeeper reported it, Gao Gong asked people to lead Lian Daning over to meet, and besides, there was a chief housekeeper to accompany him.
There are many housekeepers inside and outside the Gaogong Mansion, and there are also housekeepers at home.
Besides, there are few people in the family, and there are few things, and there are several housekeepers inside and outside, and the chief housekeeper is Zhou Dingcheng, who joined the army in Sipin.
The chief housekeeper of the Gao Xiangfu accompanied him to drink tea and talk, others didn't know that a silver ticket of 30,000 taels of silver in his arms was still hot, it was a heavy gift, and even Gao Gong here rarely received such a heavy gift. And besides, I don't have anything to do with the high arch, just to come and see it.
"Besides, the master is going to get rich again this time?" The chief butler smiled.
"Don't dare to be, Mr. Gao wants something, just open another list, don't let the boss know, I'll send you to the house quietly." Besides, he laughed.
"Thank you, master, I'm not welcome, I'll send it to the house another day." The chief housekeeper got acquainted with the situation, and there was no taboo.
Although the chief housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion has no grade or rank, but out of this Prime Minister's Mansion, even the Shangshu Shilang has to be courteous and has to be called Mr., and no one dares to treat him as a servant.
The chief housekeeper is generally not from a low background, and his net worth is also very rich, and his children and grandchildren are also officials.
At the beginning, the chief housekeeper in Yan Song's mansion was called Mr. Yan in Beijing, or Mr. Er, and he was often haunted by guests in the mansion of the magnates, and his family property also had more than 200,000 taels of silver.
The prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, and it goes without saying how many grades the chief housekeeper is.
After a while, Lian Daning came out, sweating profusely, and was about to collapse, as if he had just finished running a marathon or had just been tortured.
Besides, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Lian Daning and asked with his eyes.
Lian Daning also replied with a look in his eyes, meaning to go out and talk about it.
Besides, he hesitated for a moment, trying to ask what was going on, if Gao Gong really wanted to wear Lian Daning's small shoes, he had to go in and stir it up, this was his forte.
He can ignore others, this is his mentor, whoever attacks his mentor is equivalent to slapping him in the face, which is more serious than directly attacking him.
"Get out." Lian Daning only said one sentence.
Besides, he had to help Lian Daning out of a corner door, not wanting to see the people queuing up outside, so as not to stimulate their nerves.
Outside, Lian Daning breathed in the night air and gradually eased up a little.
"What did Gao Xiang say?" Besides, I couldn't wait, so I asked hurriedly.
"You didn't say anything, that is, you wouldn't have seen me, but you summoned me for your sake. He also said that let me be an official in Jiangnan, he will not trouble me, lest you be difficult to be a person in the middle, and he keeps praising you for being a good boy. Lian Daning said and smiled bitterly.
Good boy?
And laughed too. He is the number one tyrant in the capital in the mouth of everyone, and some people praise him as a good boy? Is he so cute?
However, 30,000 taels of silver bought the praise of a good boy of Xiangye, and it was worth it.
These are actually secondary, the most important thing is that Gao Gong doesn't know what the emperor means to him, to what extent he wants to be favored, and Gao Gong has a good relationship with him, which is also for the emperor's face.
"That's good, I'll just say, Gao Xiang will still give face." Besides, he was sure.
