Walking out of the back hall, Xie Hong was preoccupied and frowned.
Unlike the people in this small county, the methods of the big men in the capital are much more clever, Liu Jin swallowed his credit quietly, and even blocked the road in the future, and he had no way at all. Against such an opponent, those small means to deal with the enemies in the county are useless, but they don't understand politics and strategy in the first place, what should they do?
Alas, Xie Hong sighed secretly, not to mention these big people, even these small people in the county almost let themselves capsize. Although he was quite well prepared and used the skills of later generations, he was still attacked by Steward Gu, and he almost messed up, and he still underestimated the ancients.
How do you get close to Zhengde? Xie Hong is very troubled, go to the capital? Definitely not, with Liu Jin staring, that Wang Yue is also unknown to him, and it is estimated that before he gets close to Zhengde, he will be killed by these two old monsters. So...... The only way to go to Xuanfu was to go to Xuanfu, Xie Hong tried hard to recall everything about Zhengde.
Although he remembered that Zhengde liked to go to Xuanfu very much, and even built a mansion in Xuanfu, he couldn't remember when that incident happened, so it couldn't be that Zhengde ran to Xuanfu as soon as he took the throne, right? Xie Hong smiled bitterly, even if he didn't have any knowledge of history, he knew that it was impossible.
The current situation is that there is a fight in the palace, and neither side of the battle wants to see him. Even if Wang Yue comes to woo him, he may not dare to go, after all, it is Liu Jin who will gain power in the end, the new emperor ascends the throne, and it is normal for the old man to fight the newcomer, if he is stupid to throw himself over, he may be implicated.
But Liu Jin obviously doesn't take himself seriously, if you want to say that she attaches importance to it, she also attaches importance to it, but what she values is only her own craftsmanship and the handicrafts she makes, and she can be said to be very unkind to herself, and she doesn't even want to let herself enter Beijing. Xie Hong was very puzzled, brother didn't offend this eunuch, right? Did he put the blame for the collapse of the pagoda on his own head?
It's a bit messy, Xie Hong patted his forehead helplessly.
"Congratulations, Lord Xie, the holy decree must have given your lord an official and a knight, right?"
Xie Hong and Eunuch Liu talked for a long time in the back hall, Imperial Doctor Gu was in a hurry, and the instructions given to him by Gonggong Liu were that the pagoda should be brought back when Eunuch Liu returned to the palace. But that little eunuch Liu was very tight-mouthed, and he asked many times along the way, but he didn't ask the specific content of the holy decree, so he was also very anxious.
Therefore, he had been waiting outside the back hall, and as soon as he saw Xie Hong coming out, he immediately rushed up impatiently.
Xie Hong looked up and saw that it was him, and his mood was even more unhappy, the official was added, but this official addition was not interesting, and being coerced and lured by a dead eunuch affected his mood even more.
He was about to throw a cold face and leave, but Wang Zhixian next to him also came up and asked, "Thank you, what does the holy decree say?" β
Wang Zhixian was also worried in his heart, what he said before about retreating and practicing calligraphy, in order to avoid right and wrong, no matter what Master Lu did and what kind of consequences he caused, as long as he appeared at the end, and then blamed Master Lu. However, he was also very unsure about Xie Hong, for fear that this vengeful young man would not forgive, so he was also very concerned about the content of the holy decree.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I've been promoted to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and I just want a sheet music in the palace." Xie Hong could guess Wang Zhixian's thoughts, but he didn't plan to tear his face with Wang Zhixian. After all, this person also had the grace of promoting himself at the beginning, if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be so easy when dealing with the Chen family.
As for him letting Master Lu mess around, it was nothing more than being afraid of the Gu family's power and protecting his life. Xie Hong can also understand such thoughts, now that Master Lu and a few others have been taken down, Xie Hong doesn't want to have more complications.
Besides, after talking with Eunuch Liu, he also had a little idea of the situation in the palace, and he felt that time was running out. If you can't get close to Zhengde earlier, then Liu Jin's power will be even bigger, and it will be even more difficult for you to come out by then, and the only way now is to go to Xuanfu, while thinking of some other ways, while waiting for Zhengde's arrival.
However, my mother's illness was not completely cured for a day, and she couldn't move for a day, Xie Hong sighed in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to get close to Zhengde. In fact, if you think about it, Zhengde is the emperor, the first person in the world, even if he is a little off the line, it is not so easy to approach, he was just too naΓ―ve before.
"Jinyi Wei ......" Wang Zhixian was in a somewhat complicated mood, Xie Hong's official grade was higher than him, but he didn't have any jealousy. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of the military attache was far inferior to that of the civil official, although this brocade guard was the emperor's pro-army, but in the heart of Wang Zhixian, it was far inferior to his own seven-grade Zhixian.
However, he didn't dare to despise it, because it was these civil officials who were in charge of the detectives. Xie Hong's future is not as good as his, but it is easy to embarrass him.
"Then congratulations to Master Xie, no, Lord Xie."
"Lord Zhixian, you and I don't need to be so polite, this official still has some things to deal with, so I will retire first." Xie Hong said casually politely, and was about to leave, anyway, he is not a member of the yamen now, so it is better to deal with his own affairs quickly.
"Master Xie, the matter of the pagoda ......" Imperial Doctor Gu was originally hindered by someone next to him, and wanted to wait for Xie Hong to return to the main registrar's office, but when he saw Xie Hong raise his feet and walked out, he couldn't take care of it for a while, and hurriedly said.
"Master Gu, when you say that you are determined to buy it, you have also checked it before buying, you and I have cleared the money and goods, and now you are coming to this official to do something?" Xie Hong waved his hand, very impatient.
"Lord Xie, there are thousands of mistakes, they are all under the eyes and do not know Mount Tai, please don't follow the next big man."
Imperial Doctor Gu looked flattering, and Wang Zhixian who was watching was extremely surprised, but it was just a brocade guard thousand households, this Lord Gu was obviously an imperial doctor, and he had also seen the world, how could he be so attached? It's weird.
"It's not that the official cares, but this pagoda is not made by the official, the craftsman who made it is in Henan, thousands of miles away, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and his mother is still sick, how can the official have time to run around for you."
Xie Hong didn't want to help him at all, he did it first, and then helped him fix it when he was done, how boring and kind he had to be to do such a thing.
Besides, he doesn't want to admit it at all now, if he said that he did it himself, then how can he push Liu Jin's request for the dead eunuch in the future.
"My lord, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of people in the Gu family, you can't see death without saving it." The old man was really anxious, knelt down in front of Xie Hong suddenly, hugged his legs, and said in a loud voice: "It doesn't matter if Ling Tang's illness is wrapped up in the lower body, and the surname is guaranteed in the lower body, and the old man will definitely recover as soon as possible." β
Wang Zhixian felt that the scene in front of him was a little familiar, well, it was very similar to the day he took Xie Hong to seek medical treatment. There was not even a change of people, one pleaded, one refused, and he was a bystander, and both sides said similar things. It's just that the roles have been reversed, and Imperial Doctor Gu's posture is lower than Xie Hongdang's, is this a feng shui rotation?
"But ......" Xie Hong hesitated, he couldn't believe in this old man's medical ethics, what if he also learned from himself and did something in the process of treatment?
"Your Excellency, can't you believe it?" Seeing that he hesitated, Imperial Doctor Gu said again: "When administering the needle and medicine, the adults can find some other doctors to observe and supervise, and if there is a recurrence in the Houling Hall, the adults can only come to find the bad luck below." β
"But didn't Lord Gu say that my mother didn't have a great life, and asking the imperial doctor to heal would be overdue?" Hearing his words, Xie Hong's heart was also a little loose, and he groaned slightly.
Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Gu couldn't hang a mouthful of blood spurting out, he was already mentally prepared for Xie Hong's revenge, but he still didn't expect it to be so strong. This sentence was said when he refused to be treated, but in fact, it was just an excuse, but he didn't expect to be mentioned again today, which really made him want to cry without tears.
Imperial Doctor Gu turned his heart sideways and said: "In the past, there was no virtue in the past, and I was taught by adults, and I decided to change my past." After Lingtang recovered from his illness, he would also resign as the imperial doctor and return to Beizhuang to practice medicine and save the world. β
The old man was also helpless, after the collapse of the pagoda, he had become a joke in the palace, not only his colleagues disdained to be with him, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace only made fun of him, and refused to look for him for treatment. When he came back this time, he had the strict orders of Liu Jin's father-in-law, if he didn't still think about his family, he would have the heart to die head-on.
And Xie Hong is his last straw, if the pagoda is repaired, at least he can retreat from the capital, so he doesn't care about any system, just begging and crying bitterly.
"Lord Xie, the lower official took the liberty to say something." Wang Zhixian suddenly said: "Lord Gu's medical skills are very clever, he was already famous in Xuanfu back then, and the left and right adults also asked for medicine, so you might as well let Lord Gu give it a try." β
Saying this, Wang Zhixian is also a little selfish. For Xie Hong, his perception is also very complicated, at the beginning, he felt that this young man was very friendly, not greedy, and polite, he was quite appreciative, and he originally had a mind, planning to take Xie Hong as a confidant, and he would also be able to help him in the future.
When he came back from the capital, he found that this young man was usually like a spring breeze to people whose status was not as good as himself, but when he faced some people with higher status, he was like a hedgehog, and once he was provoked, he didn't know how to leave room when he fought back. How could a teenager from a civilian background have such a surname, Wang Zhixian was very puzzled.
He naturally wouldn't know that Xie Hong was from the later generations, this kind of surname that is usually harmless, even a little careless, but as soon as he is provoked, he will fight back strongly, which is one of the characteristics of later generations.
This time, Wang Zhixian's perception changed again, he just couldn't bear to do it to Xie Hong personally, and he didn't dare to offend the Gu family, so he simply hid and let Master Lu come to Hu. But he didn't expect it to be such a result, he now doesn't dare to treat Xie Hong as a junior anymore, and he doesn't dare to despise it, and he is even a little afraid that Xie Hong will take revenge on him.
As for the degree of offending Xie Hong, it must be Gu Imperial Doctor first, and the others are just minions, if Xie Hong and Gu Imperial Doctor reconcile, there should be no reason to trouble themselves. After all, I'm just hiding for fear of things, and it's far from being an offense.
"Yes, my lord, I will do my best in the future, I just hope that my lord will not dislike it." Hearing that some people agreed, Imperial Doctor Gu also continued to express his heart.
"Alright then, there's Lord Laogu." Both of them said this, and Xie Hong also pondered that this was the truth. And time is pressing, if you leave a day earlier, you will have a little more chance, only by getting close to the emperor can you really gain a foothold in this era and protect yourself.
