At this time, the Zhupo Mountain is lush and green, which should be the favorite season of the owner Du Siwen, but now in addition to the refreshing green, I can only see people all over the mountain who are full of vegetarian or decrepit clothes, and the crying can be heard from time to time in the mountain. Since Du Siwen's death, the magnates who remained in Chang'an either personally or sent people to come to mourn, and every day there were constant hangers, and several volumes of paper were used to record names and ceremonies. In his later years, Du Siwen often lived in Zhupo Mountain, and the most frequent people were the Fanchuan Weidu people, so this ceremonial scroll is also the most Fanchuan Weidu.

When he hurried over from Shanzhou, the dusty Chibi wrote the words Du Shiyi Baibai on the top of the Yiyi scroll, only to hear a commotion outside. With the tip of his ears, he quickly caught a voice from it: "General Gao, the right guard of the guard, has come to pay tribute!" ”

Chibi hurriedly turned his head, but saw the Du family and others crowding Gao Lishi in like stars and moons.

Gao Lishi, who was already fifty years old, entered the palace in his early years, except for being expelled from the palace by the Empress Wu and suffered some hardships for a short period of time, and then followed the right master, pampered Youfei Huang Tengda, and even the foreign ministers were respectful to him. Even if Zai Fu passed away, he could personally sacrifice on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and his children would all regard it as an honor, not to mention that although Du Siwen had been an official to Jing Zhaoyin, he had never entered the political hall after all. Now that Du Siwen has passed away, he was able to let Gao Lishi come from Luoyang in person, and even the hangers were all touched.

I knew that Du Siwen had such a big face, and it was difficult to speak in front of Gao Lishi, and the person who could not speak would have come to the door of Zhupo Mountain a long time ago!

As early as when he arrived, Colliers told people that he was not here to sacrifice on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but to his own personal friendship. But the more this is the case, the more the Du family feels unfathomable, and the heir of the Han princess who married the clan Du Shi was surrounded by several brothers and sisters to ask what happened, but she didn't know where to go, so she had to say helplessly: "Grandpa intersects with people, and he has always only looked at temperament, character and knowledge, and nothing else, how he and General Gao met and intersected, it is useless for you to ask me." Why don't you ask a few of Grandpa's old servants, maybe they still know something. ”

"Grandpa's old servant? Grandpa is generous and benevolent, as soon as he goes, one of us is not careful, there are four or five people who follow the martyr, and now the rest are only the ones in their thirties and forties. ”

Chibi quietly concealed his whereabouts and heard this answer, and he knew the relationship between Du Siwen and Gao Lishi, but I was afraid that no one would know the true foundation of Lu Dao anymore. However, his task was not to inquire about these privacy, but to go to Luoyang to send a generous gift to Gao Lishi after paying homage to Du Siwen on behalf of Du Shiyi. He came with Wu Jiu today, who had made friends with people from all walks of life in the Liangjing Dynasty Du Shiyi through pen, ink, paper, inkstone, poetry collections, and other elegant things, but he had also seen Gao Lishi a few times. It must be known that even the ministers may not be able to see Colliers himself. After thinking about it, he decided to take the risk and sneak in first.

In the funeral hall, after bowing to the god, he excused himself for a while and pulled everyone away. When he was left alone, he sighed, walked up to the god on the offering table, stretched out his hand to rub the handwriting, and his face showed deep sorrow.

He still remembers that he was captured by the army, castrated, and sent to the palace. That kind of pain that goes deep into the heart, the experience of nine deaths and a lifetime, as long as you think back, even if he is now living in a beautiful room, enjoying delicious food, Jiao Niang is by his side, and countless people tend to pay respect, it still can't eliminate the impact that the past has brought to him.

After that, when he made a mistake and was expelled from the palace by Empress Wu, if it weren't for Gao Yanfu, I am afraid that when Empress Wu remembered it a year later, he, a eunuch, would have died in that horn! And the rest of his life after this catastrophe was because Du Siwen, who was just red at the time, saw him feel sorry for him when he was flogged when he went out of the palace, so he interceded for him in front of Gao Yanfu, a familiar inner servant in the province. After this incident, he often went to Du Siwen on the order of Gao Yanfu, and he was naturally familiar with each other.

Although he is a eunuch, but he likes to read the scriptures and history, Gao Yanfu spared no effort for his adopted son, many of them with the help of Du Siwen to get some rare manuscripts, so when he returned to the palace to serve in front of the palace, he repaid the peach, so that Du Siwen from the right to fill the que and the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and soon after, Wu Hou abdicated, Zhongzong Ruizong has ascended to the great treasure, the court does not talk about seniority only about connections, he saw that Li Longji is determined to be in the great treasure, spare no effort to help from the side, Du Siwen also helped to create public opinion inside and outside the court, plus a variety of time and place are favorable, He was finally able to see Li Longji, whom he served, ascend to the throne of God and reign over the world, while Du Siwen served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and Household Division, and became a Jingzhao Yin after becoming a Shishi!

Even this Zhu Po Jingzhao Gong did everything behind his back, and repeatedly warned him not to mention it in front of the Son of Heaven! He didn't understand it at first, but when he saw that Wang Ju, Liu Youqiu, and even Wang Maozhong and others had a bad end one by one, he couldn't help but deeply admire this old friend who had lived a comfortable life for more than 20 years!

"Lao Du, we have been friends for many years, you have always said that you are thirty years old, and you will definitely walk in front of me, I didn't go to my heart, I didn't expect you to really have no warning at all, just leave! I have already seen the letter you brought me, you really don't seek wealth for your children and grandchildren, but only care about Du Jiu, a descendant! Anyway, my purpose as a person is to only add icing on the cake, and never give charcoal in the snow, and make an exception for you. Now that his career is just right, he is very respectful to me, I should help but should, if he suffers a crisis one day, I will spare no effort to help him once, even if it is to return your old favor! ”

Gao Lishi didn't expect that he had brought his entourage, and everyone in the Du family must have been ecstatic about his arrival, and they would never come to eavesdrop, but an outsider sneaked in here and listened to all his words. When he sat silently in the funeral hall for a quarter of an hour and got up to leave, Chibi, who had just sneaked into the left with great effort, also quietly retreated, and made up his mind that he must pass the news to Du Shiyi in Shanzhou.

As the most trusted person around the Son of Heaven, Gao Lishi naturally couldn't delay here for too long, and refused to stay for food and rest, so he immediately returned to Luoyang with his entourage. And Chibi didn't dare to slack off, after meeting with Wu Jiu and leaving Zhupo Mountain, he didn't have time to say too much before, so he said: "You can put aside the affairs of Chang'an for the time being, Lord Lang has orders, you will go to Luoyang with me immediately." ”

Although Wu Jiu said that he was the earliest with Du Shiyi, and now he is also wealthy, and he has to be called a man when he goes in and out, but he doesn't dare to take it big in front of Chibi. He knew very well where this benevolent brother came from and what he did for a living, so he hurriedly agreed without even hesitation. It wasn't until Chibi asked him to take stock of the fields in Liangjing that he was surprised: "What does Lang want to do here?" ”

"Count out 3,000 acres of fields and orchards and send them to Colliers. Then the same amount, back to Yang Siqiao. ”

This huge number made Wu Jiu dumbfounded. He has had enough money over the years, how much money Du Shiyi has, I'm afraid even Du Shiyi himself doesn't know better, the reason why he doesn't dare to fill his own pockets with oil casually is because Du Shiyi has soared over the years, and he has never treated him badly. Even so, if these fields were taken out, they would definitely hurt their muscles and bones, and they would immediately hollow out nearly half of Du Shiyi's fields in Liangjing! Therefore, after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he finally stammered: "Chilang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really a big matter, what proof do you have?" ”

"This is a big deal, there is no evidence. But the gift is yours to give, not me. ”

Although it was just this concise sentence, Wu Jiu believed it, but the feeling of dry mouth lingered. What a big deal! You must know that Gyeonggi is not as good as Haluo, and the nearby Liangtian orchards are originally limited, and because there are too many dignitaries, he doesn't know how much work it took to run such a family business for Du Shiyi. It's good now, if you say that you will send it out, Du Shiyi really doesn't feel distressed? Or is it true that marrying the daughter of Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in Guanzhong, can he really be so generous? But Wang Yuanbao still has two sons, and he didn't marry his daughter so much property back then, right?

When the two rushed to Luoyang from Chang'an, after some twists and turns, Wu Jiu finally entered Gaolishi's mansion. After he resigned, Gao Lishi signaled to the chief manager Mai Xiong to accept the things as usual, but after a while, he saw Mai Xiong rushing in front of him in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to breathe and said like a cannon: "Jiawen, this gift just now is too thick!" It was a total of 3,000 acres of fertile land and orchards in several county towns under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, including a 1,000-acre river pond! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Gao Lishi saw a lot of generous people, and he couldn't help but be surprised at this time. The value of 3,000 acres of fertile land is naturally clear in his heart. Du Shiyi had only given him a very valuable gift for Yu Wenrong's affairs in the past. Now that Wu Jiu came to see him, he didn't even mention anything, but he gave such a generous gift, how could he not be surprised?

Although Du Shiyi said that there was a Miao Yanhei there, it didn't seem to be falling behind? As for the DPRK and China, although Li Linfu and Du Shiyi did have a discord, they have not reached the point where the sabre-rattling division of victory and defeat has not been reached. So, what else?

Mai Xiong saw that Gao Lishi was hesitant, thinking of the scene of the Son of Heaven and Concubine Wu Hui and King Ning and others appreciating the lotus a few days ago, he hurriedly reported it to 1510, especially the self-composed pipa song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" by Princess Yuzhen's disciple made the Son of Heaven moved, and he was actually generous to reward the Luosha Tan pipa, and he was even more afraid of missing the details.

"The Taizhen lady actually let His Majesty be so rewarded!"

Gao Lishi still remembers the old things when Du Sanniang offered the pipa, and now the two are confirmed, and the feeling of reincarnation is born. And Mai Xiong knew that Gao Lishi would not be satisfied with only knowing these things, so he had to start telling other interesting and related news in detail. Including Niu Xiantong, he tried again and again in front of the emperor, and finally it was almost certain that he would be responsible for patrolling Helong. Of course, Du Shiyi's previous impeachment and appointment of private individuals by some imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory was also among them.

Hearing this last one, Gao Lishi laughed hesitantly: "Niu Xiantong dislikes the filial piety of the Beijing officials is too meager, and wants to go outside to make a fortune." It's not a good thing to be too fat, and others may not be able to send it in, and blatantly asking for bribes from others, the difference here is not half a star. As for the imperial history, which foreign official was not impeached by two books? Okay, these gifts from Du Jun, you put them away properly, and don't say it to the third person, I know what he means! ”

was sneered and despised by Gao Lishi as a cow fairy boy who wanted to go out to make a fortune, but he was not in the palace at this time, but also in his private house. He has been in the palace for many years, and he has managed to climb to the position of internal affairs, and in front of the Son of Heaven, he is also one of the best in addition to Gao Lishi Yang Siqiao, but although the officials of the DPRK and China are polite to him, and sometimes there are also a lot of gifts, but the property he has passed over the years is only a fraction of that of Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao. Therefore, he often works tirelessly to find ways to go on business trips, hoping to peel off a layer of skin from foreign officials, but the last time he went to Shanzhou to give Du Shiyi a purple goldfish bag, he only got so little benefit, and he naturally had a fire in his heart.

Therefore, since he learned that the Son of Heaven intended to order someone to patrol the border of Helong, he was immediately tempted and made every effort, especially with the tacit support of Concubine Wu Hui, and defeated many opponents. Thinking that he would come to Helong as an envoy with a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and Du Shiyi, who had always been cold to him, would also bow down to him, he couldn't help but be extremely proud, and he laughed out loud when he thought about it.

"The Gentleman."

The sudden cry interrupted Niu Xiantong's smug thoughts, and he raised his face a little impatiently, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone outside is asking to see the family."

"I'm not in the mood right now."

The servant received a small piece of gold cake from the seeker as a reward, and although he saw that the cow fairy boy was impatient, he still said cautiously: "The man said that he had come here to congratulate the family on gaining the trust of His Majesty, and was about to sail the river; Second, it is also for the sake of the family's trip. He said...... The family man wants to be out of the horse and the generals will be convinced, so that His Majesty will be impressed; Or do you want to just show off your might and come back proudly? ”

Hearing this naked question, Niu Xiantong couldn't help but be stunned. After a long time, he sneered and said, "Since this guy is so ghostly, then I'll take the time to see him." Go, call people in! ”

When the man in black and wearing a hood came in, Niu Xiantong, who was already suspicious, couldn't help frowning: "Hide your head and show your tail, don't you dare to see people?" ”

In the face of Niu Xiantong's rebuke, the man only quietly and deeply said: "But if I have a wonderful plan to offer, why should Your Excellency care who I am? I know that Your Excellency is one of the most trusted lieutenants under Your Majesty, and now patrolling Helong, if you can make great military achievements, Your Excellency An Zhi can't surpass Yang Simiao's generation and keep pace with Gao Lishi? ”

The other party actually called Colliers Yang Siqiao by his name, which made Niu Xiantong stunned at the same time, and couldn't help but have a little expectation. He narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, then I'll give you a chance." What do you have in mind, tell me! ”
