Chapter 12 Zhao Guicheng
When a familiar figure appeared in front of Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan also secretly shouted hello, I haven't seen him for a few years, and now Guicheng has already taken off a cloth coat and put on a beautiful son's shirt, plus he is already good-looking, and he is set off by this luxurious clothes, which makes him look more and more outstanding.
However, Gao Huaiyuan is wearing a green official uniform today, although he is tall and majestic, but compared with Zhao Guicheng in front of him, he seems to be a little inferior to him!
Zhao Guicheng stood at the door of the side door of Yiwangfu, and saw the figure of Gao Huaiyuan standing in front of the door with a big grin at a glance, so he lifted the corner of his son's shirt, walked a few steps and rushed to Gao Huaiyuan, the throat of the Adam's apple shook up and down a few times, and then opened his arms, wanting to hug him, the respected big brother.
But at this time, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly saw the strange looks of the palace guards and messengers around him, as well as a middle-aged man who was walking from the mansion far away, so he took a half step back slightly, and gave Zhao Guicheng a deep salute with both hands and fists.
"Xiaguan see Hou Ye! Please forgive the sin of being late, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not be angry! Gao Huaiyuan said loudly.
After Zhao Guicheng opened his arms, he was a little embarrassed by Gao Huaiyuan's trouble, but he also immediately realized that his current identity was different from the past, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's arms and held Gao Huaiyuan up.
"Why is the eldest brother so polite to the younger brother? Could it be that after a few years of not seeing each other, my eldest brother doesn't want to recognize me as a brother? Zhao Guicheng still couldn't help but say emotionally.
Gao Huaiyuan looked at Zhao Guicheng's demeanor, and couldn't help but be a little secretly moved, for this Zhao Yuju, he actually treated him as his little brother for a long time, this kind of brotherly affection is no less than the kind of relationship between him and Zhou Hao and Huang Yan, but today, after he saw Zhao Yuju, he still secretly reminded himself that now their identities are different, and Zhao Yuju, who is now Zhao Guicheng, can no longer be regarded as the little brother who can preach from time to time.
So he pretended to smile roughly: "Hou Ye's words are bad, Huaiyuan is still the same Huaiyuan as before, but Hou Ye is no longer the same Zhao Yuju as before!" When the lower officials see the Hou Ye, they should treat each other politely, otherwise, it will be a kind of transgression! Xia Guan only has this one head, and he can't stand the toss! ”
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Zhao Yuju was slightly lost, but subconsciously, he felt a little complacent, no matter what, now his identity is indeed very different, Gao Huaiyuan seems to have a good grasp of this point! It's just that he still feels a little bit raw, but this is also something that can't be helped.
The two were reminiscing, Zheng Qingzhi carried his hands behind his back, held a book, paced slowly in the courtyard and walked to the door, looking at Guicheng's somewhat gaffe, standing in front of the door and talking to a stout man wearing a low-level martial arts green uniform, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, in his opinion, Guicheng has been quite famous after this period of time after his training, but today's doing this, it is very presumptuous, so he stood in the door, and coughed unhappily against his throat.
Hearing Zheng Qingzhi's cough, Guicheng felt that his body suddenly tightened, remembering that this was not the place to talk, and he pulled Gao Huaiyuan to talk here, obviously a little out of shape, and Zheng Qingzhi was reminding him to pay attention, so after laughing awkwardly, he quickly introduced Gao Huaiyuan: "Brother Gao, this is my teacher, Lord Zheng, since I arrived here, Lord Zheng has been responsible for teaching me!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan also turned his attention to the middle-aged man who walked to the door at this time, he saw that although Zheng Qingzhi was already in his forties, he was very well maintained, his fingers were slender, his skin was ruddy, his chin was a rather beautiful long beard, he was dressed in a scribe's shirt, and he wore a black lacquer veil on his head. But it's a typical sour skin.
Gao Huaiyuan doesn't like this Zheng Qingzhi from the bottom of his heart, to be honest, looking at this Zheng Qingzhi's dignified appearance, he can be regarded as a great Confucian in the capital, and he is putting on a lofty appearance at this time, in fact, he is still attached to Shi Miyuan's party now, and is he being a dog for Shi Miyuan?
When the bitch still wants to set up the archway, this is a dirty sentence that flashed in Gao Huaiyuan's mind, and he feels that it is probably the most suitable to use it on Zheng Qingzhi at this time.
But at this time, Gao Huaiyuan was already quite a person in the city, and his joy, anger, sorrow and joy would never be easily brought on his face, when he heard Zhao Guicheng introduce Zheng Qingzhi to him, he immediately pretended to be an admiring look, stepped forward, walked to the door, bowed deeply to Zheng Qingzhi, and said in his mouth: "It turns out that you are Lord Zheng, the great Confucian of the capital!" The lower officials have admired the adults for a long time, and it is really a blessing for the lower officials to be able to see the adults today! Please accept the courtesy! When he said this, he gave Zheng Qingzhi a deep gift when he bent over.
Zheng Qingzhi looked at Gao Huaiyuan, although they literati, under normal circumstances, don't look down on military attaches like Gao Huaiyuan, who enter the official with martial arts, but seeing Gao Huaiyuan so knowledgeable today, he can't refute Guicheng's face too much, after all, he knows that Guicheng is likely to become someone in the future, and for Guicheng's friends who value him so much, he, a person who prides himself on being high, can't be too rude.
What's more, he came out today, but also wanted to see what this old friend of Guicheng was like, after seeing it, he saw Gao Huaiyuan tall, and he was also dignified, quite majestic, between his gestures, there was a faint feeling of tiger and tiger, in addition to speaking a little arrogant, but it was also a great husband, thinking about him as a martial artist, it was normal to be rude at all, this sycophant also made him feel very comfortable, and the first impression was not bad.
After Zheng Qingzhi heard Gao Huaiyuan's sycophant, he nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return of courtesy, and said: "It turns out that you are the old friend that Hou Ye has been thinking about for many days, and I am fortunate to meet you!"
Now that you've arrived, I won't disturb the reuniting of your old friends, Lord Hou! You accompany your old friend, take a day off today, and talk about what you have learned tomorrow, the old man is gone! ”
After that, Zheng Qingzhi dusted off his long shirt, walked out of the Yiwang Mansion with his legs raised, and left Gao Huaiyuan and Zhao Guicheng to reminisce.
Zhao Guicheng was happy this time, for many days, the things he had been thinking about had finally come to an end, and Zheng Qingzhi also generously gave him a day off to let him catch up with Gao Huaiyuan, which was an unprecedented thing, so he stepped forward and grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's left arm, and pulled him to his residence affectionately.
The guards and servants of the palace all looked sideways, secretly looking at Gao Huaiyuan's back, they had never seen Zhao Guicheng so affectionate to a person, and this guy who arrived today, what is the way to make Hou Ye personally greet him, and also hold hands into the mansion, so they began to discuss in private.
However, a few people sneered, didn't care about this matter, gave each other a look, and followed the footsteps of Guicheng and Gao Huaiyuan back to Guicheng's residence.
Zhao Guicheng was a little overwhelmed with excitement about Gao Huaiyuan's coming to work today, and after taking Gao Huaiyuan to the study, he sat down according to Gao Huaiyuan, and ordered someone to quickly show Gao Huaiyuan tea, and then sat on the chair next to Gao Huaiyuan.
"Brother Gao, it's really not easy for you to please! You must know that my little brother hasn't been able to see you for three years, and I really want to annoy me! Since the younger brother arrived here, in addition to the mother and younger brother, I have been thinking about you the most!
Now it's finally good, when you arrive in Lin'an, I finally have someone to talk to! It's just that I don't know if the eldest brother is satisfied with the younger brother's arrangement? Zhao Guicheng said excitedly to Gao Huaiyuan.
Looking at Zhao Guicheng's expression, Gao Huaiyuan was really moved in his heart, this little brother is now an adult, it is rare that he still remembers that his brother generally loves him, which makes Gao Huaiyuan a little comforted, but for this time Guicheng tried to get him into this swill tank, Gao Huaiyuan was a little afraid to compliment, but he would not brush off Guicheng's kindness and laughed.
"Thank you Hou Ye for still thinking about me so much, Huaiyuan is grateful, I can be transferred to Beijing as an official, and it is also Huaiyuan's convincing, everything has to thank Hou Ye!
Now that you are the Hou Ye of the Yi Wangfu, you must not call me a brother and a brother, with your mood, Xia Guan has been very comforted, don't mention the previous things, Xia Guan will rely on Hou Ye's care more in the future! Gao Huaiyuan thanked him while once again indicating the identity gap between the two, and his attitude was more respectful.
Hearing Gao Huaiyuan say this, Guicheng said with displeasure on his face: "What do you say about the eldest brother, how can the brotherly relationship between you and me change because of this change of identity?" The eldest brother used to help the younger brother and my whole family, the younger brother is unforgettable, can do something for the eldest brother, it is also a little bit of the younger brother's heart, but the younger brother is now not long after he arrived in Lin'an, and he is not familiar with the nobles in the court. It's just that now I have to wronged Brother Gao first, stay in the palace for a while, I don't know if the eldest brother will complain about the recklessness of the younger brother? ”
Gao Huaiyuan laughed and said: "I will be content to have Hou Ye's words, and the relationship between you and me will not be affected by this, but now after all, Hou Ye's identity is different, and people always pay attention to one thing."
For the current arrangement, the lower official is already very satisfied, I am originally a rough person, it is already difficult to be a county lieutenant in Daye, and it is just right for me to be a little more relaxed, how can I complain about the good intentions of the Hou Ye?
In the future, I will stay here, accompany Hou Ye to study, I can see Hou Ye every day, the lower officials are already content, and I am a martial artist, and I am suitable to be a guard for Hou Ye!
It's just that now that I'm new to the palace, I don't know what to arrange for me to do, if I am idle and take the court money, it makes me a little uneasy! Hehe! ”
Zhao Guicheng saw that Gao Huaiyuan didn't complain about him because of this matter, so he became happy, waved his hand and said: "As long as the eldest brother doesn't complain about me, the eldest brother will just stay by my side and accompany me here, and don't worry about other things!" After a while, I will take my eldest brother to meet the general manager of the palace, and the specific things of the eldest brother will be arranged by him! As long as you're here, I'll be able to settle down and study!
To be honest, I'm really afraid of Master Zheng now, he disciplines me very strictly, he can't learn things every day, he doesn't smile all day long, with you by my side, I always have someone to talk to, and I can learn boxing and kicking with my eldest brother again, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy one day, at least it's not bad to keep fit!
By the way, when did the eldest brother arrive in Lin'an, but did he already have a place to live? If not, I'll ask Manager Zheng to arrange a place for you to live in the palace!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly said: "Oh! I arrived in Lin'an City yesterday, first went to the Ministry of Officials to sign a arrival, the Ministry of Officials told me to come to the Yiwang Mansion on the line, as for the residence, I have sent someone to Lin'an in advance, and found a place to live outside the Dongzhi Gate to settle down, from the East Gate is very close, walk only a quarter of an hour, you don't have to worry about the Hou Ye!
As for what Hou Ye said about reading, presumably Lord Zheng also wants Hou Ye to learn more things, and one day become the pillar of the country, although it is boring, but Hou Ye has to endure this loneliness, in order to be able to learn something, Hou Ye is not better than me, Hou Ye should contribute to the country in the future, what is this thing?
As long as Master Hou can learn something, then even if I am only a janitor under you, it doesn't matter! ”
After listening to Guicheng, he thought about it, the palace is not an ordinary family, there are many rules here, although there are guards and servants living in the palace, but Gao Huaiyuan is also an official now, and it is obviously a little inappropriate to live in the palace, so he nodded and no longer asked Gao Huaiyuan to stay in the palace.
The two chatted for a while, and talked nonsense in the southeast and northwest, especially for Gao Huaiyuan's battle in front of the army, Zhao Yuju was most concerned, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to tell him how to fight with Jin Bing, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't bear to brush his enthusiasm, so he picked some battles that he had experienced and told Guicheng about it.
Even if Gao Huaiyuan talked about it casually, and didn't talk about the dangers he encountered in front of the army, Guicheng still heard a little blood boiling, slapped the table and said: "This Jin country really deceived me too much, is it really that no one in our Great Song Dynasty will fail?" Attacking our Great Song so many times, they really should suffer a little! ”
Although Gao Huaiyuan was talking to Guicheng, his ears were not idle, several servants kept passing in front of the door, and from time to time someone would come in to refill tea for them, and he also heard that there were always people eavesdropping at the door, he didn't have to think about it, he knew that these people must be Shi Miyuan's eagle dogs, which were assigned by Shi Miyuan to monitor Guicheng's every move here.
At this time, Gao Huaiyuan heard that Guicheng had brought the topic to the war between the Song and Jin countries, and showed his dissatisfaction with the Jin State, thinking that he was young and vigorous after all, and he didn't know if he would be angry for a while, and talk about the Northern Expedition to restore the country, in that case, it would conflict with the will of Shi Miyuan, a super surrender faction, and it would not reach Shi Miyuan's ears, and it would be troublesome for Shi Miyuan, an old thief, to be his instigator of Guicheng.
So Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly interrupted Guicheng's words and said: "This matter is actually nothing, and the great plan of the country of soldiers is also!" There has always been discord between the Song and Jin countries, and this kind of friction is also a common thing, and Hou Ye doesn't have to be angry, but now our national strength is not strong, and everything is still stable, and it is not easy to start a war with the Jin State now!
Fighting a war is also a last resort, after all, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, if necessary, peace is still precious! I said that I fought a few battles with the Jin people with the army, but there was no way!
Didn't Master Hou just say that he wanted to take me to see Manager Zheng here? I guess I'd better meet him first! After all, I'm new here, and I haven't arranged it yet, so I can't miss the courtesy! ”
Guicheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan with some surprise, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan's words were a little different from before, in his impression, Gao Huaiyuan was not like this when he was a teenager! At that time, Gao Huaiyuan often told him that the Song people should not be too weak, and when the country was in danger, a good man stood up to protect his family and defend the country, and also expressed his reverence for Yue Fei many times, what is wrong today?
But this surprise was only fleeting, Guicheng didn't care too much, but nodded and stood up and said, "Oh! Also! I'll introduce you to Mr. Zheng first! Let me tell you, this Zheng Zhi's name is Zheng Zhi, who is the yellow gate in the palace, and entered the Yi Wangfu as an errand in his early years, and was later promoted to the head of the Yi Wangfu. It's also very polite to me, and the eldest brother should be careful when he speaks, don't offend him! ”
Gao Huaiyuan nodded, he had heard these things yesterday, the head of the palace is generally served by eunuchs, especially some royal families with prominent status and close relatives of the current emperor, and most of the eunuchs selected by the palace are in charge of the family, plus King Yi died early, and he is on the verge of becoming the emperor, so the head of the palace is also served by eunuchs, this Zheng Zhi is such a person.
Under the leadership of Guicheng, Gao Huaiyuan walked out of the study with him, and looked sideways, a person in a guard's uniform standing outside the door was turning to leave, and sneered in his heart, the eyeliner of the secret Dao Shi Miyuan is really everywhere, even if he is transferred here, he still has to send someone to observe him!
couldn't help but make him secretly vigilant again, this time he came to Beijing really undercurrent, now he can't do anything, let alone show a little bit of horse's feet, which makes Shi Miyuan suspicious or worried, otherwise, he will face danger and it will be too late to retreat.
