Inside the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Gao Gong's face was unusually calm, and the piles of folds in his hands in the past have become some ordinary books today, but they are swept away, and from time to time they are circled, and they mutter: "The writings of Li Du and the others are really very different......

Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting on the side to review the folds, was a little painful, and he glanced at the newly admitted cabinet scholar Gao Yi sitting next to him from time to time, and couldn't help but sigh: "The old ...... of the high cabinet As soon as Mr. Gao speaks, you ...... so formally"

Gao Gong's face changed slightly, he couldn't help but raise his head, glanced at Gao Yi, who had already bowed his head slightly, as if listening to his explanation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said that you are ...... You and I are both at the same level...... How can you be so constrained? ”

Gao Yi was in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and then resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown to recuperate, and was recommended by Gao Gong at the beginning of the year to introduce the East Palace to give lectures to the crown prince Zhu Yijun.

Grohe is a weak man, but he is very honest and has always been extremely cautious, for fear of offending his colleagues. Since entering the cabinet, he has been very respectful to Gao Gong and Zhang Jushi.

If Zhang Juzheng is like this, he also likes to write some articles and comment on some poems on weekdays, whenever he talks about these. Gao Yi would stand on the side so respectfully, and wait until Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, then he could sit down.

So much so that Zhang Juzheng only dared to watch the twists and turns now, as long as Gao Yi was in the pavilion, he would not say a word.

It's just that Gao Gong doesn't know this, he wasn't in Wenyuan Pavilion a few days ago, and it's rare to come over today, and the twists and turns have been corrected by Zhang Juzheng, so he was just idle for a while.

It's just that this is the result now, which makes Gao Gong also stunned, and sighs: "Gao Ge is like this...... You're still a senior of ours, so it's really not appropriate. ”

Gao Gong's words are also reasonable, after all, Gao Yi Zhongjin Shi is earlier than Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong. And when Gao Yi was already the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng and the two were just the priests and wine priests of the country.

It's just that Grohe obviously doesn't think so, even when he speaks at this time, he is still very sincere.

Gao Yi looked at Gao Gong respectfully, and whispered in a very low voice: "I have heard that the cabinet is ranked according to the time of entering the cabinet...... Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao entered the cabinet first...... So Gao is naturally in this position. ”

Gao Gong nodded slightly, and was about to say a few more words, but he glanced at Shen Wuyan, who was about to walk into the pavilion, his face couldn't help but become heavy, he got up slightly, and then tidied up his clothes slightly.

When Shen Wuyan walked into the pavilion, he coldly hugged his fist towards Shen Wuyan and said, "Mr. Shen...... What is the important thing to come to the cabinet? ”

Shen Wuyan glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting on a hill, and then at Gao Yi, who was expressionless, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "I've seen two old ...... Zhang Ge ......"

Gao Gong waved his hand, signaling that Shen Wuyan did not need to be polite. Zhang Juzheng also nodded towards Shen Wuyan, but saw Gao Yi take two steps forward slightly, hugged his fist at Shen Wuyan very sincerely, and replied: "Mr. Shen......"

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then returned the salute and nodded in response: "Gao Ge Lao...... It's been a good ...... lately."

Gao Yi then returned the salute and responded: "Recently, I have been at home...... It's not ...... It's okay, but it's just that the court has delayed it for a few more days...... But I still have to go to Zhang Siwei, and Mr. Zhang's house will borrow some rice ......"

Shen Wuyan was stunned again, but he still thought that Gao Yi was joking, but he just looked at his sincere face, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Juzheng again, but saw Zhang Juzheng nodding heavily.

Shen Wuyan was silent for a moment before nodding in response: "That...... It's still a bit restrained......"

I wanted to say that I would go to the small courtyard to get some rice back, but I was afraid that it would hurt Grohe's self-esteem. After all, being an official in the capital, life can be so restrained, at least it shows that he is a clean official.

If Hai Rui is a clean official, although Shen Wuyan does not respect it too much, after all, it is good to be an official in this court, but if he is honest but can't do things, it is better not to be an official after all, or to be a petty official.

Gao Yi is now an old man, in the position of a scholar, and everyone in the capital will be seen by everyone in the capital when he speaks and acts, so although this is good, it will still cause criticism after all.

If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all incorruptible, if he was like this, it would be a very good thing, but this is not the case, there are only a handful of people in the court who are as incorruptible as Gao Yi.

So much so that those corrupt officials are even more disdainful of being in the company of Gao Yi and are even more hostile to such honest officials.

If there are a few parallel and upright officials, they will stay away from Gao Yi and will not have a good impression of him, in short, it is very unfavorable to do things in the court.

In fact, it is not the fault of incorruptibility, but the fault of the officialdom in the capital today. After all, being an official in the court still has to adapt to this situation, and Grohe is probably not suitable.

While chatting like this, suddenly a guard outside the door hurriedly rushed into the pavilion and exclaimed, "Oh no...... Gao Ge is not good......"

Gao Gong, who was standing on the side, changed his face greatly, and he was surprised: "What's wrong...... What kind of fuss is it...... You take your time......"

The guard glanced at Gao Gong, then looked at Gao Yi again, and said with a fist: "I've seen Gao Ge Lao...... Your ...... Your home is on fire...... Now the neighbors are helping to put out the fire......"

"It's on fire......" Gao Yi's face changed greatly, but he still didn't forget to hug his fist at Shen Wuyan and the others, before he hurriedly rushed out of the pavilion and muttered, "This is on fire...... The house was burned down, but where to live......"

Shen Wuyan glanced at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and sighed, "This is ...... Why don't you and I go and have a look, if anything? ”

Because they were all colleagues, after Shen Wuyan mentioned it, Gao Gong and the others were not easy to refuse, so they dropped the things in their hands and followed Shen Wuyan towards Gao Yi's house.

Gao Yi's home was not too far from Wenyuan Pavilion, but when everyone arrived, they saw that the house had burned down.

Looking at this dilapidated and decaying small courtyard, Shen Wuyan really couldn't believe that this was the home of the cabinet ministers, but it was not even as good as the ordinary houses nearby.

This also made Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong's faces turn dark, and they hurriedly stepped forward to help take a few worn-out clothes from the Gao family's wife and children, and said in unison: "Gao Ge Lao, look...... The house also burned down...... It's better to go to the cabinet for a few days, and then you can vacate the house there. ”

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "But it's not appropriate...... After all, the cabinet is the place where the office is located...... That's it...... My wife and children stayed at the guest house first......"

"Guest House...... After all, something is not good......" Shen Wuyan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's better to live in my house...... The small courtyard can also free up a few rooms......"
