Chapter 2 Replacing plums with peaches
Gao Huaiyuan quickly recruited Jia Qi from Crouching Tiger Village to the county seat, arranged a special house for him in the county seat, and placed Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi together.
After listening to Ji Xiancheng's words, Gao Huaiyuan thought deeply, he felt that Ji Xiancheng was right, the eldest husband should do things by unscrupulous means, if he only relied on his own strength and secretly developed his strength, not to mention which step he could do, just after developing to a certain extent, would it cause the idea of the imperial court, and he might be regarded as a traitor, but in front of him, Ji Xiancheng pointed out a clear way for him, that is, simply take refuge in Shi Miyuan, hug his thigh, and use him to gradually promote, in order to gain more and greater strength.
And before doing this, he must find out what conspiracy there is in the matter of Zhao Yuju being elected as the adopted son of King Yi, and only by figuring out this article can he arrange the next step.
That's why he transferred Judge out of Crouching Tiger Village, specifically during this period of time, to do this, with Judge Trick, a thoughtful guy who analyzes intelligence for him, plus Ji Xiancheng, an old fox, after the two of them summarize all kinds of collected information, they can always see some eyebrows!
For the cooperation between these two people, Gao Huaiyuan still has considerable confidence.
At the same time, he sent one of his most intimate subordinates to Lin'an Mansion to find Huang Zhen, who has now been stationed in Lin'an to open various shops, where he activated his intelligence network, and began to collect all kinds of things about Shi Miyuan and the palace, including the court and politics, and he wanted to do everything possible to find out about this matter.
So after the people sent by Gao Huaiyuan arrived in Lin'an, Huang Zhen there was completely busy, of course, he didn't know what Gao Huaiyuan's request meant, but he believed that Gao Huaiyuan would let him do it, which would be useful.
Therefore, he took advantage of all the favorable opportunities at hand and began to collect all kinds of information in Lin'an City.
If this matter is handed over to someone else to do, it may be very difficult, but in the hands of Huang Zhen, it is not too difficult, because he now has a unique condition in Lin'an, Zuixianlou first opened Zuixianlou in Shaoxing, Mingzhou, Jiankang and other places outside Lin'an, and then with the aftermath of a hit, he spent a lot of money to get an excellent property in Lin'an City, and opened up the most magnificent one among all Zuixianlou since then, and it cost thousands of yuan to renovate and decorate it alone.
After the opening, many of the magnates in the capital have heard that there is a good wine called the fairy drunk in the country, so many people got the post of the drunken fairy building, and came on time, when they tasted the fairy drunk here, they were all impressed by this novel wine, so the drunken fairy building became the most high-grade banquet place in the capital in a short period of time.
Since there are a lot of people who drink alcohol, and most of these people are still people with heads and faces in the capital, and the gods are drunk and not an ordinary drink, so it is inevitable that some people will drink too much, and after people drink too much, the biggest feature is that they talk a lot, and they love to brag if they talk too much.
In this kind of place where the three religions and nine streams are flocking, most of the junior seconders in the running hall are teenagers trained by Crouching Tiger Village, all dressed in short clothes and small clothes, and they look like they are in good spirits, and during the period of serving tea and pouring wine, all kinds of news are constantly gathered.
Of course, it's not enough for Huang Yan to inquire about the news in the restaurant, he still has a way, that is, another shop called makeup he opened, the things sold in this shop are basically women's cosmetics or glass mirrors and other things, and only the women of the powerful families in the capital can afford to consume, and these things, once they came out, immediately attracted the crazy pursuit of many women in the capital, and the customer with the strongest consumption power is the palace!
There is a yellow door in the palace that is specifically responsible for the purchase of rouge gouache for the queen concubine and the noble palace maid in the palace, although these women do not come out and walk around in the deep palace compound every day, but for this new cosmetics and perfumes, they use the earliest, once they try it, these ladies will go crazy, and immediately order the palace steward eunuchs to purchase these things for them. The yellow door in the palace found the door by itself, and the opening was a big order.
In this way, through these little yellow doors that often move around, as long as you make a little money, it is not difficult for Huang Zhen to know about the things in the palace.
As a result, the preliminarily screened news collected through various channels, using the ultra-fast communication tool of carrier pigeons, soon converged in a steady stream in Daye County, a small county town.
For these pigeons that fly every day, there is a special person responsible for collecting, each pigeon has a small bamboo tube on its leg, which is written with a ciphertext specially written by Judge, which is equivalent to the password of later generations, even if a pigeon accidentally falls into the hands of outsiders, seeing this ciphertext, it is also like reading a book from heaven, I don't know what to do, so I don't have to worry about revealing any information.
This is also Gao Huaiyuan's use of the knowledge of later generations, a decision made, but he is only responsible for putting forward opinions, the real executor is still Jia Qi, Jia Qi this guy was born to do this material, once he took over this matter, it was like taking a stimulant, and he began to drum up all night long, he used the existing Chinese characters, modified, and compiled a ciphertext that only they themselves knew, and there was a special person in the restaurant around the country who was responsible for writing various messages according to this ciphertext, so as to communicate, After this initial structure, their efficiency was immediately apparent.
Many news that officials in a big place like Ezhou don't know will appear on Gao Huaiyuan's table as soon as possible, of course, Gao Huaiyuan will not pay attention to the idle news, and his main focus is on Shi Miyuan.
After tossing and turning like this for nearly a month, Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi finally analyzed the whole story.
"Young Master! The things you arranged, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Ji have basically figured it out, do you want to report to the young master now? Jia Qi said to Gao Huaiyuan after seeing Gao Huaiyuan sneak out of the county office and come to the courtyard where he and Ji Xiancheng lived.
Ji Xiancheng also walked over from another room at this time, nodded and said, "Now that we have basically figured out the whole story of this matter, I don't know if the adults want to hear about it?" ”
Gao Huaiyuan immediately nodded and said, "Just say it, I've been waiting for so long, I should be able to figure it out!" ”
"After the collection and sorting of my time with Judge, as well as our analysis, things should roughly look like this! ......" Ji Xiancheng sat opposite Gao Huaiyuan, and he began to tell Gao Huaiyuan about the conclusions they had reached about this matter during this time.
And at this time, in the study of the back house of an extremely luxurious compound in Lin'an Mansion, there was also a white-faced fat man who was also talking to a person about Gao Huaiyuan.
"You said that during this period of time, Guicheng's studies have been doing well?" The white-faced fat man asked as he drank tea.
"Back to Lord Xiangye's words, since Guicheng arrived at the Yiwang Mansion, his studies have been quite diligent, under the teaching of Lord Zheng, whether it is poetry, painting or writing, he has made great progress, and Guicheng is very grateful for what you gave him this time, and has proposed many times that he wants to meet you and thank you in person!" The man standing across from the white fat man replied with a look of awe.
"What about Zheng Qingzhi? Has he ever done his best? The white fat man then asked.
"Master Zheng should be regarded as doing his best to teach Guicheng, and now he basically eats and lives in the Yiwang Mansion, and is almost inseparable from Guicheng!" The man replied again.
"Hmmm! This can be regarded as living up to the truth! Tell me what else you want! The white-faced fat man nodded in satisfaction.
"There is indeed one more thing, since Guicheng arrived in Yiwangfu, in addition to remembering his mother and younger brother, he also mentioned a person many times, according to him, he was a friend of his childhood, and he has helped their family a lot over the years, and he also sent someone to send a letter to this person!" The man replied again.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Yu Tianxi hadn't mentioned it to the old man before, so did you inquire, who is this person mentioned by Guicheng, and what is he doing? The white-faced fat man asked with a slight frown after hearing this.
"The little one didn't dare to be careless, I've already checked, Guicheng's childhood friend is also a strange person, named Gao Huaiyuan, his father is the general judge of Shaoxing Mansion, he lived in Shaoxing when he was young, and it is said that when he was in Shaoxing, he knew Guicheng!
And this person is said to have been a fool when he was young, and then for some reason he became a person who understood, Jiading returned to his hometown in Daye County in the ninth year, and took care of his father's old mansion and field, after the Song and Jin wars, he was young and enlisted as the elder of Gaojiazhuang in Daye County, and went to Xiangyang with the Daye Township soldiers to serve in front of the army.
Later, because of this person's violent temperament, he killed a county lieutenant who was not ordered to escape from the battle in front of the army, was expelled from the army, and returned to Daye County, where he concentrated on taking care of his Gao family's land.
After his father Gao Jian went through many movements, he made up a county lieutenant for him, and became a county lieutenant in Daye County on the spot.
Last year, this person was ordered to take Daye County Township Yong to Ezhou to resist the Jin army south, and was ordered to go to Huangzhou to defend the army, cooperate with Huangzhou to govern Jiang Fang, and jointly resist the attack of the Jin soldiers, it is said that the battle was very hard, Huangzhou City with a small number of defenders, plus the people in the city, just carried tens of thousands of gold soldiers to attack repeatedly for more than ten days, and also caused the Jin soldiers to be defeated several times, heavy losses, many of which are the credit of this person.
After the First World War in Huangzhou, this person returned to Daye County, and it happened that the magistrate of Daye County was transferred to other places, and this person has acted as a county lieutenant for more than half a year, and was promoted to a local petty official from the eighth grade! Speaking of this person's experience over the years, it can be regarded as a hardship, not a scholar, just a martial artist!
According to Guicheng, this person is very nostalgic, and often asks someone to send some money to take care of Guicheng's mother and son. And after receiving Guicheng's handwritten letter, Gao Huaiyuan also replied to a letter, which didn't say much, just congratulated Guicheng on his situation, and the little one had already read Gao Huaiyuan's reply, and he was very polite to Guicheng between the lines.
I wonder if this incident will have an impact on the left minister's plan? The person in charge of monitoring Zhao Yuju told Gao Huaiyuan's situation in detail to the white fat man in front of him.
After listening to what this person said, the fat white man who had been sitting, that is, Shi Miyuan, the powerful minister of the current DPRK and China, suddenly stood up.
"Then do you know what* is there in this surname Gao? Does his father have any support? Shi Miyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked this person.
"This ...... This little one has also sent someone to check, and this county lieutenant surnamed Gao is also diligent as an official, and even a little dull! Although he had a good relationship with his boss, he didn't hear what this person had in the court*.
This person was very valued by the late Jingxi Road envoy Zhao Fang when he was serving in front of the army, but this surnamed Gao did not take advantage of Zhao Fang's relationship to seek advancement!
Saying that he was stupid as an official actually means that after the first battle in Huangzhou, he originally had outstanding military achievements, as long as he stayed in Huangzhou City for a few more days, and waited until the imperial court rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, with his military exploits, there was no problem with at least being promoted to a few levels.
But this person returned to Ezhou with the township of Daye County in a daze, and gave up this God-given opportunity in vain, so that later Zhao Fang asked for his life, and was promoted from Jiupin Bao Yilang to from Bapin Congyilang, and even Zhixian has not been corrected so far, but let Jiang Fang get a big bargain, and now he knows Huangzhou Mansion and has become the Huangzhou Prefect!
His father's background has also been checked, his father's name is Gao Jian, but he is a serious scholar, Shaoxi was born as a scholar for five years, and he made up for the position of Shaoxing Tong more than ten years ago, and he has not been promoted for many years, so there must be nothing * to say, otherwise he would not be a seven-grade general judge for more than ten years, and his official luck is not prosperous! It's just that the family background is said to have some business, which is not bad! "That person gave Shi Mi the situation of the Gao family one by one, and it seems that he has done enough work in this matter, and almost turned the three generations of the Gao family upside down!
Shi Miyuan slowly sat back again, twisted a strand of beard on his chin, lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "I see, this Guicheng can remember the old and show that he is still reasonable, so it can be regarded as a talent!" As for that Gao Huaiyuan, he's just a county lieutenant! It's up to Guicheng to get along with him, after all, a small county lieutenant doesn't have much impact, what big waves can be turned over? ”
"Yes! The little one got it! I don't know what else Xiang Ye commands? After the man carefully answered, he asked Shi Miyuan.
"There's nothing to do, you are optimistic about Guicheng, let him read more, listen to Lord Zheng's teachings, and have fewer other thoughts, you might as well let him go to Queen Yang on weekdays, as for me here, it's best to have less contact, I understand his intentions, if he thinks of my hard work, you might as well repay it in the future!" Go back! After Shi Miyuan waved his hand and explained, he asked this person to step back.
The person in charge of monitoring Zhao Yuju immediately bowed down to Shi Miyuan, and then walked out of the study backwards.
"This guy with the surname Gao is an interesting person! Guicheng actually knew such an interesting character! Come! Shi Miyuan sat in the study and twisted his beard and muttered to himself, and suddenly screamed.
Soon one of his men hurried into his study, bowed down, and asked him what he was commanding.
"You clean up, and immediately go to Daye County to visit a person, this person's surname is Gao, and now he is the county lieutenant of Daye County, acting as the county magistrate, to see what this person's character is, as well as his various things! Come back to me as soon as possible! Shi Miyuan commanded this subordinate.
"Little obedience! Don't worry, the little one will be back soon! The subordinate immediately took the order and bowed out of the study.
Shi Miyuan shook his head and said to himself: "At this time, it's better to be careful!" Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong, the old man treats you well, but you have to be embarrassed by the old man, no wonder the old man! ”
At this time, Gao Huaiyuan, who was in Daye County, also listened to Ji Xiancheng's explanation at this time, and was silent for a long time, and once again set off a monstrous wave in his heart, because from the analysis of Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi, he came to a conclusion that this was a huge conspiracy directed by Shi Miyuan, and the spearhead of all information was pointed at the current crown prince Zhao Hong.
From the news they received, they found out a very important thing, that is, the current crown prince Zhao Hong is very unkind to this Shi Miyuan, and has repeatedly said in private that if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor one day, he will abolish this treacherous Shi Miyuan who covers the sky with one hand.
If Shi Miyuan heard what Zhao Hong said, what would he think? He has been in charge of the government for more than ten years now, and the court and the central government are his eyes, and he has been powerful for so long, can he sit still and wait for death?
In addition, from the analysis of various other news, Shi Miyuan has already begun to fight back, and has said bad things about Zhao Hong many times in the current saint, so that things will be a little clearer.
Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi combined the matter of establishing Zhao Yuju as the son of King Yi, and pondered together with Zhao Hong's hatred of Shi Miyuan, so they thought that this incident should be a big conspiracy of Shi Miyuan!
The reason why Shi Miyuan did this was that Shi Miyuan was playing a conspiracy to replace Li with peaches, and he wanted to use the power in his hands to re-establish a puppet and eventually replace the current crown prince Zhao Hong!
