Baoding Mansion Yahou Mansion, Gao Jin's living room.

Gao Jin sat in the main seat, while Gao Zhong and Qin Li sat in the guest seats.

Gao Jin is about forty years old, although he is not very old, but it may be the vicissitudes of the years, or it may be the reality of Baoding Mansion, which really makes him gray hair. His hair was gray, and although his eyes were bright, it was difficult to hide the sadness in the depths of his eyes.

Gao Jin has heard of Gao Zhong, how to say that Gao Zhong is also a eunuch around the emperor and a celebrity of the emperor. And now it is Admiral Jinyiwei, which can be described as a high power. For such a character, Gao Jin naturally did not dare to offend, so he had to respect him in every way.

Gao Jin had also heard of Qin Li. Qin Li founded the division of grades and subject teaching, and Gao Jin agrees with it. In Baoding Prefecture, such a teaching model is really implemented. In Gao Jin's heart, he already felt that Qin Li was a very smart and far-sighted person. Although his current position is not high, in Gao Jin's opinion, Qin Li's future should be limitless.

Hehe! If you say so, Qin Li's reputation is still very big.

Gao Jin had heard of him, and Qin Li was very proud in his heart.

But then Qin Li asked in detail with a solemn face the reality of Baoding Mansion. Baoding Mansion is now ten rooms and nine empty, that is, the remaining one of the ten families, and it is also surviving, and it looks like it is going to go to another country to beg for food.

Although the wealthy people in Baoding are very rich, money is sometimes not everything. No matter how fucking rich you are, you can't buy food, right? The grain near Baoding Mansion can be said to be completely gone today. Therefore, many rich families are also having a hard time now, and they are planning to move their families.

Gao Jin has already sent four twists to the court, each of which is a hundred thousand times the disaster situation of Baoding Mansion is urgent, and he is anxious for the court to rescue! It's been seven or eight days since the four recitals have been sent, but they have all sunk into the sea, and there has been no news.

Qin Li listened, and secretly thought that Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, was Yang Qimeng's father, and this Lord Yang was my father-in-law after all. He is the first assistant of the cabinet, doesn't he know about the huge disaster in Baoding Mansion?

This is obviously impossible, and I have long heard that this Lord Yang is a clean official, an official who does things for the people! But why did he watch the victims of Baoding Mansion coerce the capital one by one?

Could there be something hidden in this?

Qin Li thought so in his heart, so he naturally didn't say it. Besides, Gao Zhong was actually very aware of the reality of the imperial court, but Gao Zhong still didn't talk to Qin Li about the specific situation. How to say it, for a very simple reason, Gao Zhong is a eunuch by Zhengde's side. Because of the previous eunuch disorders, the current Empress Dowager Zhang does not allow the eunuchs to discuss the government in vain many times.

Anyway, everything will be known after Qin Li enters Beijing, so Gao Zhong, who is usually very talkative and talkative, and never talks endlessly, hides the affairs of the capital from Qin Li.

Gao Jin's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Father-in-law Gao, Lord Qin, although I am Gao Jin, the prefect of Baoding, I am the fourth official of the imperial court. But in many cases, I still have to rely on people around the emperor like Gonggong Gao and Lord Qin! ”

I have to say the truth of what Gao Jin said, the local prefect said that it was a year, but there were many people who had not seen the emperor for many years. What do you think, I haven't even seen the emperor's face, where did the emperor know you? The emperor doesn't know you, so naturally he won't think about you.

Gao Jin is such a person, and Zhengde Travel is supposed to have passed through Baoding. However, because Baoding was too close to the capital, in order to avoid those old guys in the court, Zhengde, the benevolent brother, simply did not enter Baoding Mansion, but passed by secretly.

Zhengde also sternly decreed that he was not allowed to stay in Baoding, and that Baoding Mansion was not allowed to engage in any reception.

The nature of Zhengde travel was originally very fun, and Gao Jin was a very upright official who was dedicated to the people, so he naturally disdained Zhengde's travel. So this is exactly what he wants, and he doesn't go to see the emperor at all.

At that time, I didn't see the emperor because it was a matter of trouble, and it was also a matter of silver. But now that the emperor is going to use it, where will the emperor think of him?

This is Gao Jin's personal thoughts. Therefore, Gao Jin again and again has a good relationship with Gao Zhong and Qin Li, eager for them to talk about Baoding in front of Zhengde, so that the imperial court can quickly relieve the disaster.

Speaking of Gao Jin's words, Gao Zhong naturally didn't take it to heart. He is just a eunuch, and national affairs have nothing to do with him. Besides, Gao Zhong is still selfish after all. What is the life of the people that is none of his business? So he's just going in his left ear and out of his right ear.

But Qin Li was different. Although Qin Li has a personal little ninety-nine in his heart, a small abacus. But I saw so many emaciated children, dying old men, and people with yellow faces and thin muscles. The feeling in Qin Li's heart was sour.

How can you say that you are also a traverser, can't you let Daming change when you come to Daming, and can't you let the people of Daming live a happy life? Personal enjoyment is essential, but the lives of the people still have to be managed.

So when Gao Jin spoke, Qin Li was listening very seriously. Gao Jin is not a fool, who values him he can see. So to a large extent, he relied on Qin Li.

The three of them talked about it well, in short, the current disaster in Baoding Mansion is very serious. Gao Jin asked Qin Li and Gao Zhong to take the affairs of Baoding Mansion to heart, and to tell the emperor and Lord Shoufu. Let the food for disaster relief be delivered quickly.

Gao Zhong's performance made Qin Li very dissatisfied, but Qin Li thought about it and figured out Gao Zhong's psychology. Speaking of which, such a thing really makes Gao Zhong a eunuch difficult to say.

Anyway, Gao Jin is anxious now, Qin Li and Gao Zhong are also incapable of helping each other at this time, after learning a little about the situation of the victims in Baoding and the situation of the Baoding Treasury, Qin Li and Gao Jin said goodbye.

From beginning to end, Gao Zhong was always by Qin Li's side. When Gao Jin sent Qin Li and Gao Zhong out of the mansion, Qin Li's face suddenly turned pale and asked, "Lord Gao, how is the Qin family in Baoding Mansion now?" ”

It is said that the Qin family is a big family in Baoding Mansion, and the patriarch Qin Shirui is also a well-known figure in Baoding Mansion. Gao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, hey, Qin Li, Qin Shirui, obediently knock! It turns out that they are a Qin family!

This...... This...... It seems that what I just said was really in vain.

Gao Jin thought of Qin Shirui in Baoding Mansion, and that face couldn't help but be gloomy in an instant. Remembering that Qin Li and Qin Shirui are from their own family, at the beginning, Gao Jin was originally kind and pleasant to Qin Li, and he had a good impression of him. But at this time, he obviously looked at Qin Li coldly, and his eyes full of melancholy were full of hatred.

Qin Li actually just asked casually, but when he saw Gao Jin's sudden change of color, he couldn't help but be curious. Hum! Thinking about it, Qin Shirui must still be the original virtue, okay! Master, since I have come to Baoding, if I don't go to the meeting, Qin Shirui is indeed a little too much to say.

However, before going to meet Qin Shirui, Qin Li whispered to Gao Jin, who listened to Gao Jin first frowned and hesitated, and then smiled. (To be continued.) )
