023 Bribery
After entering the door, Gao Fei and Zuo Feng sat down in separate places, and before Gao Fei could speak, he heard Zuo Feng take the lead in asking, "Where is Gao Sima?" ”
Gao Fei replied: "Liangzhou Longxi people." ”
"Longxi is a good place, as far as I know, Gao Sima was transferred from Yulin Lang, right?"
"The adults are discerning, and the officials admire it."
Zuo Feng looked at Gao Fei for a moment, and then said with a sigh: "You who were born in Yu Linlang are only willing to be a former military Sima under Lu Zhi?" It's a shame for you to have a great future! ”
"What the lord said is that in order not to pity the future of the lower official, the lower official came to find the adult in private. The lower official knew that the adult had great magical powers, and wanted to ask the adult for fame. ”
Zuo Feng said with a smile: "You are really an understanding person, I don't want Lu Zhi, that old guy, the sour smell of his body, is simply pedantic." Even if he pacified the Yellow Turban thief in Hebei, without me saying a few kind words in front of His Majesty, I am afraid that he will not want to get a high-ranking official. Hum! The more I think about it, the more angry I become, this old guy who doesn't know the times! ”
Gao Fei hurriedly said: "The adult is angry, the adult can't be angry for the old guy Lu Zhi, and he is angry and ruined, even if the lower officials want to bear it for the adult, but there is nothing they can do, isn't this crime suffered by the adult alone?" ”
A hint of cunning appeared in Zuo Feng's eyes, and he said with a sneer: "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about current affairs at such a young age, we are all understanding people, so I won't fight with you haha." Let's be straight, do you want to ask for a high-ranking official? ”
Gao Fei smiled, walked behind Zuo Feng, stretched out his hands and put them on Zuo Feng's shoulders, gave Zuo Feng a simple massage a few times, and said slowly: "Xiaguan is from a humble background, I am afraid that the high-ranking official does not have that blessing, Xiaguan only wants to ask for a county Taishou, and I also want to ask adults to make it convenient." ”
"Taishou? Haha, you're too unambitious, aren't you? I thought you would ask me for a high-ranking official such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, but I didn't expect it to be a little Taishou. I have also heard all the way that the reason why Lu Zhi was able to pacify the Yellow Turban thieves in Hebei is mostly due to you, and with your kind of credit, there is absolutely no problem in being a state pastor. Do you have any way in the court? Zuo Feng first praised Gao Fei, and then got back to business.
Gao Fei said: "The lower official has no way, so I came to find the adult and asked the adult to dredge the lower official for him." ”
"Well, you've found the right person, but well, these layers of relationships have to be opened, and a state pastor is not trivial, how ...... this money?"
"Don't worry, the little ones are ready." Gao Fei stopped the massage, he saw the figure shaking outside the door, and thought that Liao Hua and Lu Heng outside the door had already moved the money, so he shouted outside the door, "Bring it in!" ”
The door creaked open, Lu Heng and Liao Hua carried a heavy wooden box together, and after entering the house, they put the wooden box on the ground, and then opened the wooden box, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Zuo Feng was originally enjoying Gao Fei's massage with his eyes closed, but at this time he opened his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes, and after a hurried glance, he closed his eyes again and said disdainfully: "That's all?" ”
Gao Fei knew that this money was not eye-catching for Zuo Feng, who was commonplace, and as soon as he thought about his future prospects, he could hold it in the hands of the person in front of him, and said to Lu Heng and Liao Hua ruthlessly: "Go and move over!" ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng also knew that Zuo Feng was greedy, but they didn't expect to be so greedy, the two of them had already converted the money in the box, which could almost be converted into 30 million yuan, which was definitely a lot of wealth for those of them who lived at the bottom of society. The two couldn't help but scold the greedy Zuo Feng hatefully in their hearts, but they still didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, and said "promise" to Gao Fei, and then turned around and went out.
Zuo Feng opened one eye, glanced at Gao Fei with his peripheral vision, saw that Gao Fei had no expression on his face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then closed his eyes again, sat there quietly, and said to Gao Fei: "You pinched my shoulder very comfortably just now, but it's a little stiff now, you pinch me again!" ”
"Pinch! I don't pinch your dead head! Although Gao Fei was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, thinking about how he gave gifts to those who had the power for a project in modern times, who was not as greedy as Zuo Feng, he thought about the past and the present, and found that there was no difference between those who were officials, and he was relieved.
"Well, your technique is really unique, if someone can pinch me like this every day in the future, I will be content in this life!" Zuo Feng felt the comfortable feeling brought to him by Gao Fei's massage, and said to himself at the same time.
Gao Fei smiled and said, "My lord said that I laughed, what kind of people in the court don't have it, can there be no one who serves the adult?" ”
Zuo Feng smiled and did not answer.
After a while, Liao Hua and Lu Heng carried the last remaining box of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, put it on the ground in the house, opened the box, and then bowed to Gao Fei and Zuo Feng at the same time, and slowly withdrew from the door, and then closed the door of the room, and the two stood outside the door and waited.
Zuo Feng looked at these two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which were worth fifty or sixty million dollars, so he nodded with satisfaction, smiled at Gao Fei, and said, "Gao Sima, it seems that you are quite able to make money as soldiers!" ”
Gao Fei said: "My lord doesn't know, these were captured by the lower officials after conquering Xia Quyang, that's all, it's all filial piety to the adults." ”
Zuo Feng said with a smile: "A state pastor is almost worth so much, but if you dredge up and down, it is estimated that there will be a big discount, but there is absolutely no problem with the Taishou that Gao Sima asked." After I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of Your Majesty, and by the way, I will give you a marquis. ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu used the money of a state pastor to buy a taishou. Knowing that this Zuo Feng was so greedy, Lao Tzu would not have given rewards to those soldiers first. This Zuo Feng is just a Huangmen squire, just a person who delivers news to the emperor, can talk to the emperor, you and I are an idiot? You make so much fucking money, don't you want to pay filial piety to the ten permanent servants, and you still have the face to brag to me here, sooner or later, one day Lao Tzu will lose it from you, and you will be doubled to make you vomit it! Gao Fei was very unhappy in his heart, thinking about the amount of money he had only seen a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, it was all handed over to people within ten minutes, and it was uncomfortable to put it in anyone's heart. He was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it, but he bowed his head to Zuo Feng as usual and said, "Everything is up to the adults." ”
Zuo Feng slowly stood up, walked to the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, closed the two boxes with his hand, glanced at Gao Fei with squinted eyes, and asked, "By the way, Gao Sima, where are you going to be a taishou?" ”
"My subordinates want to be a Taishou in Liaodong!" This is Gao Fei thought about it early on, he has a soft spot for the Northeast, because his modern home is the Northeast, and he is also very familiar with the mineral resources of the Northeast.
"Liaodong?" Zuo Feng was taken aback, thinking to himself if the young man standing in front of him was a fool, spending the money of a state pastor, and actually bought a remote place where birds don't, he snickered in his heart, and gently stroked the two big wooden boxes in his hand, thinking about how much money he could spend on a Liaodong Taishou, this is simply a huge wealth given to him by God.
"Yes, my lord, Xia Guan wants to be the Taishou of Liaodong!" Seeing Zuo Feng's surprised appearance, Gao Fei once again said with certainty, his first step is Liaodong, and the second step is the entire Youzhou, which is a strategic plan he planned early on.
Zuo Feng gradually regained his composure, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Liaodong is good, Liaodong is a paradise, since you have decided, then after I go back, I will let you be the Taishou of Liaodong as you wish." Okay, I'm tired and want to rest early, so you can step down! ”
Gao Fei said "no" and walked out of the door, and finally did not forget to smile and say innocuous words such as "adults rest early".
Outside the door, Liao Hua and Lu Heng both heard the conversation in the room just now, and they were also quite puzzled by Gao Fei's decision, spending so much money to only ask for a position as a Liaodong Taishou, for them, this blow was a bit too big. Neither of them spoke, quietly following Goofy back to Goofy's room.
"Do you two have anything to say? If you have something to say, say it, it's uncomfortable to hold it in your stomach! As soon as he returned to the room, Gao Fei sat on the edge of the bed, observing words and expressions along the way, and felt that Liao Hua and Lu Heng had something hidden in their hearts, so he took the lead in asking.
Lu Heng first hugged his fists and said: "My lord, if you change your mind now, you are still in a hurry, while Zuo Feng is not leaving, you can ask him for a big county in the Central Plains, Liaodong, at will...... Is Liaodong too remote? ”
"My lord, my subordinates don't understand why my lord spends so much money, but he only wants a place that is so remote, and he says something unpleasant. Liaodong is a place where birds don't, and there is a border stop, and the surrounding Xianbei people, Goguryeo people, and Wuhuan people can be seen everywhere, that kind of place, I can't see it! Liao Hua then expressed his opinion.
Goofy smiled and asked, "Are you finished?" ”
Lu Heng and Liao Hua replied in unison: "It's over!" ”
Gao Fei said: "Let's go back when I'm done!" ”
"Your Excellency......" Liao Hua and Lu Heng exclaimed.
Gao Fei interrupted the two and said sharply, "What else is going on?" ”
Lu Hengdao: "My lord, the reason why we follow the adults is because the adults have unlimited potential, although our talents are not as good as the adults, but I also want to follow the adults to eat and drink spicy food, and I also want to have a good home, even if the adults don't think about themselves, they should think about it for us, otherwise, who will dare to follow the adults in the future?" ”
Gao Fei was not angry, he naturally understood the truth of this, but he didn't want to explain so much now, even if he explained the benefits of being in the Northeast, they might not necessarily understand, he could only explain it with actual actions in the future. He didn't speak, turned his face to look at Liao Hua, and asked, "What about you?" Anything else to say? ”
Liao Hua shook his head, indicating that there was nothing more to say, but he couldn't help it, and still said, "The subordinates and Lu Heng have similar meanings...... Can you tell your subordinates about the benefits of choosing Liaodong? ”
Gao Fei thought about it carefully, and then explained: "I have been observing the sky at night for the past few days, the purple micro star is hanging in the sky above the northeast, and there is a vision in the sky, and there will be a place for me to come in." You may not understand it now, but trust me, I will give you a great future! If you think I'm not a master, you can leave at any time, and I won't stop you. ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng glanced at each other, saw that Gao Fei was full of confidence, and gave them a mysterious explanation, so they bowed to each other together: "My subordinates have offended my lord, please punish my lord." ”
Gao Fei said: "You didn't offend me, you are just thinking about your own future, why shouldn't I, but the Han dynasty is declining day by day, even if I pay to buy a Taishou in the Central Plains, after a while, someone will pay more than mine, so won't my Taishou come to an end?" Rather than being restrained in the Central Plains, it is better to develop your own power in the border fortress, once the world changes, I lead a large army into the customs, and the Central Plains will become my pocket sooner or later...... I just hope that you will understand that my high flying will bring you great glory and a great future. ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng heard Gao Fei's words, and they also faintly felt that the person in front of them was definitely not a thing in the pool, Gao Fei could actually say rebellious words so openly, but in their hearts, the Han Dynasty was already a thing of the past, whether it was participating in the official army or following the Taiping Road to make a yellow scarf, it was nothing more than to fill their stomachs, and they seemed to be able to see the upcoming chaos in the world from Gao Fei's words. A raging fire burned in the hearts of the two, and they shouted in unison: "My subordinates will be loyal to my lord in the future, and I will not swerve until I die!" ”
Gao Fei smiled and said, "Okay, you all go down, I want to be alone." ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng nodded, and with a "no", they exited Gao Fei's room.
Gao Fei sat alone in the room, in his heart has his own magnificent map, since he came to this world, he should make good use of this opportunity, his early buried ambition has been stimulated little by little, he wants to make his future life path in his own mind, he wants to set off an epoch-making wave in this era, and Liaodong is the best choice to achieve his first step.
