Chapter 47: The Stepping Stone (I)

"My son is stupid, I'm afraid I can't be driven by Mr." Old man Gao Hua said.

He was lying on the sickbed, his face was sickly, without a trace of brilliance, only sometimes, when Li Xi turned his head to look at Li Yifeng, his eyes would occasionally flash a ray of essence.

On September 13, after Li Yifeng's visit on behalf of Li Xi stopped for three consecutive days for three days, Li Xi took Li Yifeng with him to prepare a generous gift and personally visited the old man Gao Hua, who was said to be still ill.

Li Xi came here, naturally first of all, to thank others, after all, they really saved their lives, if you add Lian Lian Miaomiao and Geng Xin, in fact, it should be regarded as four lives, and it is natural to thank you in person. Secondly, I wanted to personally test the tone of this old man Gao to see if he could attract Gao Sheng. Li Xi didn't care much about how much money he needed, after all, he was not short of money now, what he lacked was a sense of security.

He needs a person who can be safely placed by his side and can stand up at any time to help protect himself and his family when he is in danger, and Gao Sheng is obviously very suitable.

Li Xi, the main master, came in person, although Gao Hua pushed the disease, it was inconvenient to disappear, so he asked people to welcome him and Li Yifeng into the courtyard and met them in front of the sickbed. However, Li Xi only thanked Quan for his condolences, and before he could mention the matter of Gao Sheng, the old man had already hurriedly refused.

Li Yifeng was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Not to mention that they have been so sincerely invited, Li Yifeng has come here ten times alone, and now Li Xi has come over in person, just talking about Li Xi's great reputation now, and the famous people of today, inviting Gao Sheng and a martial artist to be friends in the past is definitely exalting them.

You must know that since the assassination of Li Xi, Li Yifeng let out his mouth and went to his home to hire a master nurse, not to mention the fact that there are many recruits like a cloud, just many masters who came to take the initiative to ask for support by Li Xi's side after learning about this incident, there are not many masters, not to mention that after this incident, Master Su Jinsu and Master Li Shizhi each sent a few old family members to help the hospital, all of whom were Confucian sons.

It's just that Li Xi is cautious in handling things, and for such personal guards, he has a bit of a meaning of preferring to lack rather than indiscriminate, so except for the two adults Li Shizhi and Su Jin, who sent the nursing home to stay for the time being, everyone else politely declined.

Who knew that Li Xi took the initiative to visit today, this old man Gao Hua was so faceless, and before he mentioned this, he blocked the conversation in advance, which naturally made Li Yifeng's resentment that had been held back for a long time more and more depressed, and he turned his head with a cough and stopped talking.

Li Xi looked light-hearted, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman misunderstood, Xi is just here to thank Ling Gongzi for saving his life, Mr. Gao Sheng is chivalrous and popular, what kind of person is Xi, but he is just a student of Guozixue, how dare he work Mr. Gao Sheng as a protector?" There is no need to mention this matter again, no more need to mention it. ”

As soon as Li Xi said this, Old Man Gao Hua narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.

They are not familiar with each other, just a symbol of the surname to come to the door to thank them, the old man is sick again, and he looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away, so naturally there are some words that are not speculative, so after a simple greeting, Li Xi politely got up and said goodbye, and the old man did not leave anyone, but arranged for the housekeeper to send him out.

When the housekeeper returned, he saw that the old man had already sat down on the chair in the main hall again.

"Someone sent away?" The old man asked.

"Go back to the master, send it away." The butler replied.

Old man Gao Hua nodded, squinted his eyes and touched his goatee over and over again, and said: "This Li Xi, don't look at the young age, he really has some Taoism, but it's a pity, he is white, and he also offended the prince of the dynasty. ”

Although the butler is also a sensible person, and even has read books for a few years and knows a lot of words, how can he understand these things, because when he hears the words, he only smiles in agreement, "The master naturally sees it." ”

"I've got a fart!" Old man Gao Hua flicked his sleeves, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and sighed: "People often say, if you learn literary and martial arts, you will have goods and the emperor's family, but the emperor's family does not lack your literary and martial arts, and you can't sell a wife and shadow at all, but I don't know who to sell it to?" Alas, this little bastard, tell you not to listen to Lao Tzu, and call you to beg for food......"

Out of the gate, Li Yifeng became indignant.

In the sparkling sound of the carriage, he couldn't help but say: "This Gao Hua old man is inevitably a little too bad, the son personally came to visit, he actually pretended to be sick openly, and the coat has not been taken off, he thought that pulling a quilt on his body is terminally ill!" ”

Li Xi smiled, he could quite understand Li Yifeng's anger. Whoever has been rejected ten times in a row, I am afraid that there will be a lot of resentment in my heart, and this time I came in person, I am afraid that he will come with a lot of expectations, but before he can mention the stubble, people will break it up, and he is even more unhappy in his heart.

After thinking about it, Li Xi said: "Actually, it's normal to think about it. Although I am not famous now, how old is Mr. Gao Hua? It's more than sixty, he's not the kind of age that cares about everything when his brain is hot, a little fame can't attract him, as for money, the Gao family's father and son don't seem to be greedy for money, so what qualifications do I have to let people follow? Even if people open their mouths to refuse, it is really human nature. ”

After a pause, he smiled, "Maybe when I get the official and come back, the old man will definitely be a different face." ”

Li Yifeng could only smile bitterly when he heard this, lifted the window to look outside, and saw that although the carriage was not running fast, it was not enough to tell people, so he said: "After you got drunk last time, you said that you rejected Princess Xianyi's side, in fact, you showed your heart to govern, but why did these subordinates observe carefully, and also went out to inquire about a lot of movements in the court, this ...... It doesn't seem like there's any movement now! ”

Li Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guess it's been in the past few days, but I don't know, will Your Majesty summon me directly, or will you send an adult to help recommend me?" The problem is, unless Your Majesty secretly gives someone some guidance, otherwise, I am afraid that no one in this court will stand up for me, and the only nine-year-old man who knows the inside story and can stand up for me is still mourning ...... mother."

Li Yifeng pursed his lips when he heard this, and he didn't quite agree with Li Xi's statement.

Jiulinggong's funeral is true, but Li Xi, as Zhou Qiong's disciple, has asked to see him four times since he arrived in Chang'an, but the Jiulinggong is actually stingy to see it, obviously this is already an indication of his attitude, Li Xi's recital, he is against it, so the so-called mother's funeral can only be regarded as the son's speech to save him some face, in fact, in the final analysis, Jiulinggong is a little disdainful of himself, who was born in the county school and is only eighteen years old!

However, when Li Xi said this, he really couldn't talk about Jiuling Gong, so he could only say: "Perhaps, you can ask Lord Su Jinsu, or Master Li Shizhi Li for a favor?" ”

Li Xi shook his head, "No." The two of them, and even the Ministry of He Gongbu and others, can be called righteous friends, and it is very good for each other to talk about poetry, papers, drinking and gossip...... No, no, if it's not really dangerous, I'm not going to ask them for help. ”

Li Yifeng nodded when he heard this, and then fell silent.

After thinking about it, Li Xi asked, "Have you been to Daxingshan Temple recently?" Have you seen Master Mo Yan? ”

Li Yifeng first nodded, then shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "I went twice again, but I didn't see anyone else." ”

Li Xi took a deep breath, nodded, and fell silent.

Even if he knew in his heart that Emperor Xuanzong was afraid that he had already made up his mind to use himself, otherwise, in the upper class of the hall who still valued the family, especially the royal family, they would never regard ordinary people from a small place as candidates for the captain of the horses, even if Princess Xianyi liked it again, even if she made good poems and was a celebrity, it would not work.

And it was precisely because of that twist and turn that Emperor Xuanzong put himself in a position that was obviously higher than his normal identity in his heart, so there was a rush of persuasion from everyone in the Yuzhen Annex.

And after he completely rejected the possibility of being a concubine and enjoying wealth, I was afraid that Emperor Xuanzong would make up his mind to use himself, but the question is, how to take this first step?

He is an official from the ninth grade, and his previous resume is only a small county master who has been a few months, Emperor Xuanzong naturally can't give him a high position as soon as he comes up, but it will definitely not be an ordinary bastard position, because Emperor Xuanzong only listens to his own words, but also looks at his own actions, so he must put an official who can do practical things to himself, so as to examine his real ability.

But the question arises, what kind of official is appropriate?

In addition, for no reason, it is necessary to appoint a person to serve as an important person, even if Emperor Xuanzong is in power, but no matter what, he has to give the important ministers of the court and the officials of the ministry a reason! Otherwise, even Emperor Xuanzong is afraid that he will not be able to break this reason, and he will directly reject it to the subordinate province.

Therefore, I also need a proper referee. But the question is, who can stand up for themselves and help knock on the door?
