Chapter 337 If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves
Ye Zhi frowned, and asked as if he was asking, "It's hard for my father-in-law to regard the Shangjing Mansion as a threat?" β
"The young general doesn't know that the Shangjing Prefecture has jurisdiction over the Shangjing City and dozens of county seats, and like the local government and Taiwan Yamen, in addition to the officials, there are also government soldiers." Gao You explained, "In the past, the government Yin was not valued by Gu Xiang, and the Shangjing Mansion had only thousands of government soldiers, but Meifu Yin was Gu Xiang's henchman, since he took office, the household department allocated only more money to the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau, and the extra silver, Meifu Yin was mostly used to recruit government soldiers, and now he can send thousands of troops, not to mention tens of thousands." β
Ye Zhi still disagreed: "So what, the soldiers of the Yamen are called officials, and they can be compared with the forbidden army brought out by General Gao?" β
"Major General, the soldiers of the Shangjing Prefecture are not as good as the localities, they are all carefully selected good hands, and our forbidden army is only responsible for defending the city, and they are not allowed to enter the city without reason, but they can come and go freely in the city." Gao You led Ye Zhi to look at the city tower again, and the soldiers who were checking the people at the city gate were wearing different armor from them, "Young General, you see, even who enters and exits the city gate is up to the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau." β
"Even so, there are six divisions under the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau, such as Hu Ligong, which are managed by their respective officials, and they may not be loyal to the Fu Yin alone, and the government soldiers are the same."
"Young General, everyone knows that Meifu Yin has always treated his subordinates well, and most of the people in the yamen are loyal to him, so we must be on guard." Gao You said seriously, and after a while, he said, "The last general heard that the young general followed Meifu Yin in the past, and I hope that the young general will not be deceived by his past friendships, and he will definitely recognize the roadblock of Meifu Yin." β
"General Gao is too worried, and everyone knows that I have an old grudge against Meifu Yin, how can I take it lightly." Ye Zhi said indifferently, "I said that the Shangjing Mansion is not to be afraid, I just hope that my father-in-law and General Gao will not mistake the enemy and spend their minds on dealing with the Shangjing Prefecture and ignore anything else." β
"That's not going to happen, there has always been only one rival of Lord Guogong, and it's there."
Gao You was referring to the northeast of Shangjing this time, whose mansion it was, and they knew it.
Ye Zhi nodded.
The spring rain fell overnight, washing the heavens and the earth clean, and it was not cleared until dawn.
Mei Xiaoren changed into his official uniform and boarded the carriage with Gu Chuyu.
The car drove Haohao Tang Tang and went straight to the General Mansion in Chengnan Town.
She had already declined Ye Zhi's invitation, but the Prime Minister did not follow common sense and unexpectedly appreciated this light, so she had to be cheeky and go with him.
Mei Xiaoren pulled up the curtains, and let the warm and fresh spring breeze blow into the window, and the scenery of Shangjing looked as beautiful as when she first came.
The breeze caressed her face, ruffled a few strands of hair in her ears, and the morning light shone into the car, just reflecting a touch of beauty on the side of her face.
She's looking at the view, and he's looking at her.
Mei Xiaoren turned his head and happened to meet Chu Yu's gaze, and then he couldn't bear to look at anything else, because the person in front of him was a hundred times more beautiful than Chunjing, and he belonged to her.
She reached out and straightened the placket of his shirt and patted out the folds. Although his official uniform is good-looking, the things on his shoulders are more than just a light clothes.
The carriage stopped, and Xingyun shouted outside: "Master, it's here." β
Gu Chuyu held her hand that had not yet been withdrawn, and led her to get up and get out of the carriage together, and because there were many ministers outside, she had to let go before everyone could see it.
"The Prime Minister has arrived, and Lord Yin of the ββ, Mansion has arrivedβ"
After chanting, in addition to the officials outside the door, the guests inside also rushed out, led by Wei Guogong and Ye Zhi, gathered in front of the magnificent mansion gate to salute.
Xingyun presented the two gifts that he had been ordered to prepare, and Ye Zhi personally took them and thanked them according to the ceremony.
Gu Chuyu raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, but no one looked at it, and after the officials retreated and gave way, he took Mei Xiaoren towards the greatly opened mansion gate.
Mei Xiaoren entered the mansion while looking left and right, she visited this place last time, when the mansion was still in disrepair, and now it has a new look, and the magnificent appearance is worthy of the title of "General Zhenguo".
She was about to retract her gaze to look ahead, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a different figure, the reason why it was different was because there were officials except for the subordinates here, but there was a girl standing under the corridor.
Mei Xiaoren looked at Gu Chuyu and found that he was staring ahead, ignoring the beautiful Miss Ji who was standing under the corridor.
Then she saw the loss in Ji Nanrou's expression.
Maybe it was because Ji Nanrou knew that the positions of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Guogong Mansion had become more and more different, so she stood there and didn't move, just leaning on the pillar and silently looking at the people around her.
Of course, it is sighing to be in love, but Mei Xiaoren can understand another old saying at this time - if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves!
Her people, she doesn't want others to see them now.
Mei Xiaoren took two quick steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Chuyu. On such occasions, this move is a bit out of order, and she still needs to find a topic and pretend to have something to report.
Who knew that before she could speak, Gu Chuyu looked down at her, and the corners of her mouth raised, "What did I say?" β
Mei Xiaoren deliberately pretended to be confused: "What did you say, I want to report to the prime minister if I have something to do, the vision of the imperial tomb was solved yesterday, and the door of the tomb was closed." β
Gu Chuyu tilted his head slightly, pretending to listen to her, but in fact, he sniffed close to her and locked his eyebrows, "What did you wipe on your body?" β
Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, raised his arm to his nose and smelled it, only the light fragrance remaining after washing, and there was no other smell, "What is smeared, is there any strange smell?" β
"Sour."
Gu Chuyu still had a thin smile on her lips, and walked towards the main seat in front of her, without counting how many eye knives she had thrown.
"His Royal Highness King Yu has arrivedβ"
Another shout.
The officials who had just followed Gu Xiang in turned back to greet them, and Mei Xiaoren also went out with the officials according to the rules.
She saluted in the crowd, and when she looked up, she found that Jiang Rong was not the only one who came, but Haoyang's little girl was also there.
Jiang Rong said that he came to reward Ye Zhi on behalf of Emperor Tianhong, and Haoyang brought the reward of the Queen Mother.
Wei Guogong personally brought two distinguished guests into the mansion, as if he and Ye Zhi were both the owners of this mansion. The officials present were not surprised, after all, if the young general did not have this stepfather to guide the way, how could he have the honor he has today.
Several masters walked in front, and the officials slowly followed, and there was no lack of discussion among them.
Mei Xiaoren didn't deliberately listen to who was saying what, but some of the names were really eye-catching and could be easily captured by her ears, such as the three words "Ji Nanrou".
The officials were discussing, saying that the reason why Miss Ji appeared in the Zhenguo General's Mansion was actually that Wei Guogong asked her to help Ye Zhi take care of the affairs of the mansion, and it seemed that the family was helping the family, but Wei Guogong wanted to be close to each other, hoping that his daughter would one day be able to take charge of the internal affairs of the General's Mansion in a bright and bright manner.
