arranged the affairs of the family, and went to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to ask what Zhang Juzheng's mansion needed, so that he could buy it from outside the Saiwai and ship it back.

Zhang Juzheng laughed and blasted him away, just saying that there was nothing needed and let him go about his own business.

Besides, he wanted to plan a special operation of the sixth guard of brocade clothes, in the name of business, Zhang Juzheng also knew, and he couldn't understand how the emperor could approve such a ridiculous thing, and then heard that the emperor and many eunuchs in power in the palace were making a list, and they wanted to follow the caravan to go shopping outside the Saiwai, Zhang Juzheng really felt ridiculous.

Besides, after going out, he quietly found Zhang Juzheng's housekeeper and asked him what he needed to buy from outside the house, and just make a list and send it to his house.

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "I need a lot of things, but I don't have any money, my lord's salary is not enough at all, and my lord doesn't care about the affairs of the family, and he still relies on me to borrow left and right to cope with the past. ”

Besides, without waiting for him to finish speaking, he hurriedly stuffed a silver ticket of 30,000 taels and said with a smile: "Brother, you just see the outside, didn't I tell you that if you don't have enough money, go to me?" ”

The housekeeper took the silver ticket nervously, swept his eyes, and was startled: "I can't help it, this is too much." ”

Besides, he pushed back the butler's hand and said with a smile: "What a lot, you are the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this bit of silver is enough for a year's daily expenses, and you don't know what the relationship between me and adults is, just look for me if you lack money." You give me a list of things, don't let the adults know. ”

The housekeeper's hands were a little trembling, and Zhang Juzheng's protégé also couldn't see it, and quietly stuffed him with silver, more than one or two thousand taels, and as little as a few hundred taels, how could it be that such a shot was 30,000 taels?

"But if the master knew...... the housekeeper still didn't dare to accept it, and his face was embarrassed.

"Adults don't care about housework, how can they know, this kind of thing is only known to you and me, and no third person knows." After saying that, he turned around and left.

The housekeeper looked at the back of the situation, and his eyes were moist, not moved by the situation, but moved by the silver.

In terms of housework, Zhang Juzheng is not as good as Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing also knows that the palace funds need to be saved, and it is too expensive to make pies, so he can't bear to eat them.

Zhang Juzheng has no concept of housework at all, he feels that his second-grade salary is not low, and he can't spend it all.

When he used to serve in Yuwangfu, there were no economic problems, after all, it was still a small family compared to him now, and now it is the real Prime Minister's Mansion, and he needs to show the Prime Minister's bearing everywhere, he originally liked luxury, just asked for his own status, he didn't care if the silver was enough, just handed over the annual salary to the housekeeper to take care of.

In the country's economic issues, he is a clear door, in this regard Gao Gong is not as good as him, every year the household department to make a budget, he has to personally approve, in each project, he is more professional than the household officials, but also more accurate.

Besides, I wanted to give Zhang Juzheng some silver for a long time, but I didn't dare to take it out, Zhang Juzheng is not like Gao Gong, Gao Gong can take over the filial piety of his protégé in person, but Zhang Juzheng is too good-looking, he will never admit that he lacks money, let alone accept the protégé's offer. Besides, I have to express my heart in this way.

After he went out, he saw two long rows of officials waiting outside the door for Zhang Juzheng to meet, and after seeing him, they all came up to see him, and it took a lot of time to meet some officials who were not familiar with him.

He laughed in his heart while greeting people he knew well, many of these people had come to camp for the position of ambassador for this negotiation, but they didn't know that the position of ambassador had already fallen into his pocket.

Of course, this is by no means a good thing, and he hopes to be thrown to someone to bear it, and he is willing to pay another 30,000 taels of silver, but unfortunately the emperor recognized him as this unlucky ghost.

The emperor's grace is vast, and he smiles bitterly in his heart, which is too ironic.

He went to Gaogong Mansion again, he came here and went to Zhang Juzheng's place, he was willing to give Zhang Juzheng a gift, he felt that he owed Zhang Juzheng too much, and when he came to Gaogong, he was really a powerful person.

In this regard, he is not rigid, he can't ask for anything from the high arch, but the powerful are like this, don't offend if you can't ask for it, this is the practice of Du Pre in the Jin Dynasty, if you have nothing to do, you can give gifts to the magnates in Luoyang, but you don't ask these magnates for anything, as long as these magnates don't harm themselves.

Besides, it is also this psychology, he has offended too many powerful families by occupying a street, and now he is known as the first dignitary of the dynasty, I don't know how many people have become a thorn in the side, he must not let Gao Gong become the last straw that overwhelms him, so he would rather please than offend, in addition, Gao Gong is indeed good to himself, although he has a dislike with Zhang Juzheng, he is still sincere to himself.

Last time, he came to give 10,000 taels of silver, so he should buy a ticket to enter and leave the Gao Mansion at any time. This time, it's to buy another amulet.

There are more people queuing up in front of Gao Gong's mansion, after all, Gao Gong is a university scholar and a secretary of the ministry, the real first person in the dynasty, and his power is higher than Zhang Juzheng, and it is common for more people to ask to see him.

Besides, he didn't wait for the summons, but just asked Ji Chang to go to the concierge to pay his respects, and sat in the car and waited.

After a while, the middle door was opened, and a servant inside shouted: "Respectfully, please enter the mansion." ”

This shout shook the two rows of distinguished guests, and only then did someone notice that at the very end there was a very luxurious car, which was also given by the emperor.

Everyone's hearts were shaken: when the first dignitary of the dynasty came to meet the first person of the dynasty, this was a perfect pair.

How did they know that the first person of the high-arched dynasty was made of real gold, and it was not adulterated with a little fake, and besides, the first dignitary of the dynasty had so much water that it could not be squeezed out. It seems that the scenery is infinite, and what awaits him in the end is likely to be an unimaginable nightmare.

Besides, I just wanted to find a side door to go in and say something and leave, but I didn't expect Gao Gong to pay so much attention to it, and opened the middle door to greet him.

Although he is a member of the three grades, it is not worthy of Gao Gong's attention, and now there are many tame and political envoys from other provinces in the queue, all of whom are three products, not to mention opening the middle door to greet them, whether they can see Gao Gong is difficult to say.

He was also a little shocked in his heart, he was sure to see Gao Gong, but he didn't expect to be so valued, and he didn't like this kind of formation.

He is different from Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, what he likes most is to be a low-key person, and occasionally show his grandeur, which is a last resort, and he usually maintains the original style when he was a talent.

He walked forward to the gate, but saw Gao Gong already waiting at the gate in his regular clothes, surrounded by two rows of servants.

"Late life, let's meet the boss." Besides, in front of everyone's eyes, they had no choice but to bow and salute.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, it's all your own family, no need to be polite." Gao Gong said with a smile.

Gao Gong is now also the second product, the same as Xu Jie, Xu Jie will add a level to him after the abdication, and abdicate with the official rank of deputy first product or Zheng Yipin, which is also a regular practice, if you have been added to the first product when you are in office, you will not be able to add an official when you abdicate, you can't be crowned an earl, that needs to have great merit.

Besides, the sweat has come down a little, and he is really a little frightened, Gao Gong receives himself like this, which seems to be important, but in fact he is also pulling hatred.

Of course, Gao Gong didn't think so, and although he was a member of the third grade, he was the commander of Jinyiwei, and the officials of Jinyiwei were much superior to ordinary officials, after all, they were directly used by the emperor.

Gao Gong likes pomp and circumstance, and thinks that this is a great honor for the sake of face, which is a great honor, but there are two sides to everything, and when you get a great honor, enemies are bred at the same time, and there is no reason.

I'm afraid this is also a weakness of human nature, I can't see that others have a higher status than themselves, more wealth than themselves, and more glory than themselves.

Officialdom is where officials are jealous of each other and fighting with each other, and in the palace, concubines, eunuchs and palace maids are jealous and fighting with each other.

Gao Gong is a model full of fighting spirit, after he entered the cabinet, he fought with Xu Jie every day, just because Xu Jie is a scholar of the palm seal, even if the power is now in his hands, he is still not angry with Xu Jie, and he seized the opportunity to think that Xu Jie could not come to the stage.

Fortunately, Xu Jie's best thing is Tai Chi Gong, a style of pushing hands skillfully defuses the offensive of the high arch, but it does not appear aggressive, in this regard, the high arch is not as good as Xu Jie, and even no one can compare to Xu Jie, and it can be called the first strange person in the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, just because in Jinyiwei, it is not a system with Gao Gong, if he is an official in the court and is so favored by the emperor, he will also be the target of Gao Gong's attack.

Moreover, he is also well aware of this principle, and bought favors here in Gao Gong early, lest one day Gao Gong look at himself unpleasantly, and it will really be a disaster.

"Nephew, you didn't bring five hundred guards, did you?" Gao Gong looked out and teased.

"The old man laughed, how dare you be presumptuous in front of you." And keep your posture down.

"It's okay if you bring it, I won't have any ideas." Gao Gong laughed and led in.

After coming to the main hall, he directly explained his intention, that is, he asked himself what the boss needed when he went to the outside of the plug, and he only made a list, and the capital was paid by him, which was regarded as a gratitude to the boss for taking care of himself.

Gao Gong was not polite, and directly called the housekeeper and asked him to go back to make a list, which was not subtle at all.

In Gao Gong's view, this is not a bribe, but just a commission to bring back some local products, of course, there is no need to mention the capital or anything, otherwise it will be too petty.

"The boss is busy with affairs, so he will leave when he is late." Besides, he got up and took his leave.

Gao Gong didn't stay, there were too many people waiting to be met outside, and it didn't matter if he didn't see one.
