Since the discord with the prince and the emperor, this and the prince have also gone more and more smoothly on this road.

I also feel better the older I get.

Not only did the scandal with the queen make a storm in the city, but the scandal with the waitress of Yanyulou was simply a bloody triangle drama.

Scandals can't be made for a lifetime. It's better to do something practical that people can grasp and see.

Li Liuyang was not there before, but now that Li Liuyang is here, it seems that this plot will also be changed.

Before figuring out the true purpose of this Li Liuyang, Prince and Gong should be cautious.

Every time the two of them discussed important matters in the palace, there must be a close associate, Zhou Yu, outside the door, to guard outside the door to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Not only that, but the voices of the two in the house are also infinite.

It's best if it's just enough for two people to hear.

On this day, he and the prince and Prince Gong discussed the next matters in the palace.

"Lord Gong's scandal is now full of storms, and the emperor almost dragged this king out and beheaded him." Prince He said with a look of grievance.

"Really?" Lord Gong was relaxed, and said in the tone of a bystander.

"Lord Gong won't be too much, right?" And the prince doesn't want to have a relationship with the queen anymore.

"It seems like it's almost time to stop. After that, it makes people suspicious. ”

"That's right! Are we going to start wooing officials? ”

"Hmm. However, before we get around, we'd better check on this DPRK and China official. ”

"For Prime Minister Cai, Xia Taiwei naturally can't be encircled. This Lord Shui, neither can Lord Mu. People outside of these two teams are the ones we can get in touch with. Right, Lord Gong? "I did the right thing with the prince as a friend, with an inviting expression and tone.

"Yes."

and the prince have a close relationship with this official in the court, except for Gong Qin, the others are at most just familiar with each other and can be called by name.

Never mind. Can Master Gong be careful in this regard?

Although Master Gong is not a member of the party, he is familiar with this official of the DPRK and China.

What kind of position they have, what kind of attitude they have. Even if it's not to the point where you only know everything, you probably still know a little bit.

This court is really evenly distributed, neither on the side of Prime Minister Cai Cheng and Emperor Xia Taiwei, nor on the same group as Lord Shui, and there are only a few people.

"Lord Gong, just these few people, I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

"In the future, if the emperor eradicates all the forces of the Shui Daren party, there will only be half of the current officials left in the court. Does the prince think this is still like a court? ”

"Naturally, it's not."

"That's right. Since the emperor has made us another force to replace Lord Shui. We must not only look at the existing officials in the court, but also those outside the court. Either you want to be promoted, or you want to develop again. Otherwise, once the water people and their henchmen are eradicated, the power of the DPRK and China will definitely be unbalanced. The position of the dismissed official is vacant, and the imperial court still needs to operate, and a large number of officials must fill it. At this time, it is the critical time for us to immediately make up and recommend our personnel. ”

"Good. If it is a promotion, it seems that we are going to find a roster of local officials to see if there are suitable candidates in this place. Re-develop this thing? The king didn't understand. ”

"It's really hard to redevelop. Let's ask which person who participated in the imperial examination, not all of them entered the officialdom with enthusiasm. However, officialdom is complicated and the facts are unpredictable, which will lead some people to go astray. So our main focus is still on the existing officials across the country. I just don't know what a good way the prince has. ”

"This king doesn't have any ideas for the time being? What about Lord Gong? ”

"No, then take it easy."

"By the way, how did Master Gong become a top student in high school?"

"Study, go to school, and then take the township examination, and only after the township examination can you be eligible to participate in the imperial examination."

"Oh. That's kind of complicated. ”

Speaking of this, Lord Gong seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with some sudden realization, "The prince said so, but the lower officials think that the private school is good." ”

When Prince Gong said this, Prince He also had a sudden realization and said with great excitement, "This is good." To gain fame, you naturally have to study, and to study, you have to go to a private school. If we can nurture them from there, they will naturally be devoted to us. ”

"This person with excellent character and learning, we will leave it to the emperor. There are some flaws, but there are people who are very good in their studies, so let's stay by ourselves and train them well, so it's better not to let them go on the attempt. Otherwise, it's a pity that this talent is a pity. ”

"That's what Master Gong said. Not only that, there must be civil officials, and there must also be military generals. Our private school can learn both literature and martial arts. ”

"Yes."

"Good. It seems that we can enjoy the mountains and rivers in the next few days. Said this, and the prince looked excited.

"Use sightseeing as a cover." Lord Gong is still as serious as ever.

"Master Gong is really cautious in everything. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to go to Uzhou? He said with a smile on the prince's face.

"Wuzhou? Don't worry, wait until we have a certain amount of power before we can have bargaining chips. ”

"Good. So where do we go first? ”

"Let's start with the area around the capital."

"And then?"

"Then let these development officials develop their trusted, friendly colleagues. It's a lot less effort than us to develop. In this way, we can meet the emperor in the capital. ”

"Huh? I thought I could visit all the states and counties in the country? Didn't expect it to only develop around the capital? Prince He was obviously a little disappointed, and his expression plummeted.

"We are working with the emperor's holy purpose, but we are not really traveling in the mountains and rivers."

"Okay. By the way, those few lonely officials in the DPRK and China, do we still want to develop? ”

"Don't."

"Also, if you want to stand in line, you have already stood up, so why wait until now. Even if they do, they have to wait until later, or they take the initiative to find us, right? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Gong Qin took advantage of his position to check the rosters of local officials in the four countries.

And copied a copy to the prince.

The two chose to choose the final decision, and went to Yuanzhou first.

Yuanzhou Taishou was the champion of the first emperor's period, and successively served as Taishou in the four border cities of Yezhou, Xunzhou, Bingzhou and Hanzhou.

In recent years, he has been a Taishou in several prefectures and counties close to the capital in Mizhou and Yizhou.

Yuanzhou was just transferred the year before last.

This person's strength and ability are very powerful, and all the states and counties he goes to are prosperous, stable, and honest.

It's just that this person is a little withdrawn and doesn't have any friends.

He has not been married so far, and the champion of the first emperor period is naturally several years older than Prince He and Prince Gong.

This person has been an official in the local area since he was an official.

This person was a martial champion back then, and the emperor especially admired him as a person.

Originally, he wanted to stay in the capital for reuse, but he insisted on going to the states.

said that he wanted to be guarded by the emperor in various states.

The states are stable, and the common people are prosperous. Naturally, it is to share the emperor's worries and solve problems.

The emperor also greatly appreciated this person.

After all, they are local officials, so they are rarely co-opted.

"This person is the emperor's man?" And the prince is a little uncertain.

"It's hard to say, this person hardly goes to the capital. It's just that there is a way to govern the states. ”

"Has this person been in Yuanzhou all these years?"

"No, at first it seemed to be in the states and counties near the capital, and then slowly to some border states and counties. Yuanzhou should have just arrived in Yuanzhou a year ago. ”

"Oh. In this way, even if people want to get married, this condition is not allowed. Just change places and move the family, who wants to. This royal brother is also not kind, and he does not give people a marriage. ”

"Marriage? It's not clear. But he was a martial champion back then, there were so many officials in the capital, who didn't have daughters in the family. Isn't it difficult that some adult robbed him of being a son-in-law? Gong Qin was curious.

"Oh? At that time, Lord Gong, was he ever hit by an adult in the capital? "He and the prince began to joke with Master Gong again.

Prince Gong didn't want to talk to Prince He, so he didn't speak.

Gong Qin looks like a talent, and he is quite talented, so naturally many adults took a fancy to him back then.

It's just that they were all politely rejected by Gong Qin.

Therefore, Gong Qin has been excluded from the imperial court so far.

Of course, being excluded is just being squeezed out by those who form a party for personal gain and have their own ghosts.

Cai Chenxiang and Xia Taiwei like Gong Qin very much.

It's just that the daughters of these two adults had already entered the palace at that time.

One is the queen and the other is a virtuous concubine.

Fortunately, later, Prince Gong met Prince He.

Prince He naturally wants to strongly recommend Gong to the emperor, after all, Gong is also a person worth recommending.

Over time, Gong Qin naturally became the emperor's trusted person. He was also promoted all the way to the Imperial Doctor, ranking among the three princes.

became a doctor at such a young age, which can be regarded as a young and promising person.

and the prince and Gong went out of the city. After 5 days of travel, I finally arrived in Yuanzhou.

Yuanzhou does not belong to the prefectures and counties directly under the central government around the capital.

When he arrived in Yuanzhou, the role of Lord Gong was online again.

In the evening, Lord Gong changed into women's clothes and went to the Qinglou in the city of Yuanzhou-Yingyue Tower.

Of course, he and the prince also went, and the two of them each had their own ways of finding out the news, and they did not conflict, and they could complement each other.

Gong Qin dressed in women's clothes and arrived at Yingyue Tower.

I'm afraid that I have been influenced by the queen these years, and this entry and exit from the Qinglou is all women's clothing.

Gong Qin is not a real woman after all. Naturally, there is no queen, Su Wanyue's style.

However, Master Gong's women's clothes are really good-looking, but they have a different flavor.

However, when Lord Gong entered the Yanyu Building, he was not to seduce and provoke people.

Lord Gong can only go to find the bustard mother of this Yingyue Tower.

Find a reason to work in this Yingyue Building for a few days to earn some travel expenses.

Of course, Master Gong still can't speak, so he can only write.

Gong Qin found the bustard's mother and told her about her situation by writing.

The bustard's mother looked at Gong Qin's appearance and felt that it was not bad, and the salary that Gong Qin asked for was not high.

Naturally, the bustard mother happily agreed.

After the negotiation, Gong Qin immediately started to work.

After a night's work, Mr. Gong gathered a lot of information.

And the prince relied on him, and he had a familiar temperament. After a few glasses of wine, I got acquainted with a few guests in the Yingyue Building, and naturally got a lot of information.

Qinglou is really a good place.

There is wine, performance, and beauties.

The atmosphere is naturally very relaxed, and under the relaxed atmosphere, people's vigilance is not so heavy.

It's also easier for others to easily say what you want and unguardedly.

The two combined the information they had gathered.

It turns out that this Taishou is not unmarried, and when he came to Yuanzhou last year, he was followed by a woman who thought he was in a prime mood, and it should be the wife of this Taishou.

Taishou-sama likes this lady very much. The two are always like glue and inseparable.

This woman is also very good-looking, soft and weak, and her charm is still there.

Listening to the guests in the Yingyue Tower, this lady should be older than Taishou.

It seems that the records of the magistrates in this palace need to be further strengthened.

"It seems that Taishou-sama likes the sister type. It's no wonder that people don't like those sisters in the capital. It's all a bad thing. "It's really gossip with the prince, and I'm not happy if I don't gossip.

"Next, how do we go to find this Taishou?"

"There's no rush. Let's play in Yuanzhou for a few days before we look for it. In this continuous journey, the king is very tired. He lazily went to the inn bed with the prince and said lazily.

Gong Qin glanced at Prince He, "It's okay." ”

Originally, Prince He thought that he would be rolled by Lord Gong's eyes, but he didn't expect to be so kind.

He was a little overwhelmed by the prince, and looked at Gong Qin with a puzzled expression.

"The prince looks at this official like this, but is there anything else?"

"Nope. It's just that I'm not used to it. ”

"Not used to what?"

"Nothing? Then let's go around the mountains and rivers to relax these days. "Prince He can't say that he is cheap, he is not suitable for the gentleness of Lord Gong.

Master Gong did not speak.

In the past few days, the two of them have been playing around in Yuanzhou, and while playing, they continue to inquire about Yuanzhou and the news of this Yuanzhou Taishou.

In a few days, this famous scenic spot in Yuanzhou was also visited by the two.

Then it's time to get down to business.

The people of the Taishou Mansion all know about it, and they will know it if they inquire casually.

The two followed the location pointed out by the people and found the Taishou's mansion very smoothly.

The gate of Taishou Mansion is closed, and there are some fallen leaves in front of the door.

"It seems that this Taishou is desolate." Prince He looked at this scene, which seemed to be basically consistent with the previous investigation.

Prince He and Prince Gong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was a long time before a servant came to open the door.

When the door was opened, an old man who was quite old, with a hunched back, a somewhat fair beard, and a slight sloppiness.

"Who are the two?" The old man asked unhurriedly.

"We're looking for your lord." Gong Qin didn't answer the question of identity.

"Please also tell the two of you your identity, so that you can tell Lord Taishou." Although the old man looked unfavorable, his brain was very sharp, and what he said was very reasonable.

After all, Taishou-sama is not a person who can be seen by anyone.

Otherwise, Lord Taishou is afraid that he has three heads and six arms, and he will not be able to keep busy.

"You go back and tell your lord that this official is the imperial historian of the capital. I have something important to ask to see your family. "Gong Qin only said his identity, and did not introduce the identity of the prince.

After all, it is still a little inappropriate to appear here and at this time with the identity of the prince.

It stands to reason that the official position of the Imperial Doctor is higher than that of the Taishou.

However, at this time, Prince He and Prince Gong are looking for people to cooperate and pull people into the gang, so naturally they can't put up an official shelf and break in.

Besides, Lord Gong is not such a reckless person.

Corporal Lixian, knowing etiquette and abiding by the law will leave a good impression.

The old man closed the door and went in to reply.

"Master Gong, do you think this old man will fool us?" And the prince was worried.

"Fool us? Why? After eating and holding on, I looked at this old man with compassion and kindness, and he was very honest. ”

"It's also, so thin, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're full of food."

After a long while, the door opened again.

Lord Taishou, carrying his wife, came to greet Prince Gong and Prince He.

Lord Taishou, with a fair face and a short beard an inch long.

Although he is too guarded, he is dressed in coarse linen clothes.

Lord Taishou is in good spirits, although some of the elegance is not as good as back then, but it is also in its prime.

Lord Taishou is like this, Gong Qin looks really familiar, but he can't recognize it for a while.

However, this is the wife of Lord Taishou, Gong Qin recognized it at a glance.

This person is Xie Zijin who went upstairs in Yezhou Chengmo back then.

Gong Qin looked at Xie Zijin with some excitement.

Unconsciously walked a few steps in front of Xie Zijin, and stopped talking.

Although we haven't seen each other for many years, Lord Gong has been thinking about Xie Zijin for so many years.

Now I can see that Xie Zijin is married to the Taishou of Yuanzhou, and he respects Lord Taishou like a guest.

Gong Qin was relieved and happy for her.

Gong Qin didn't want to disturb Xie Zijin's current life, after all, Gong didn't know anything about Xie Zijin for so many years.

Xie Zijin and this Taishou adult, Gong Qin didn't know.

Although he wanted to recognize her, Gong Qin couldn't help it.

Gong didn't want to make Xie Zijin embarrassed and ugly because of his sloppiness.

Taishou and his wife took the initiative to come out to greet each other, and Gong Qin naturally took the initiative to show his waist card as a doctor of imperial history.

This is proof of identity.

After Lord Taishou confirmed, he hurriedly welcomed Prince Gong and Prince He to the mansion.

When he arrived in the mansion, Prince Gong solemnly introduced the identity of Prince He.

"The prince and Lord Gong are at the house, I don't know what happened?" Taishou said politely.

It seems that Taishou-sama is also a straightforward person, and he asks so directly.

"It's just to pass through Yuanzhou and come to see Lord Taishou." Master Gong has turned a corner.

"Then the lower official will arrange some people to take the prince and the lord around Yuanzhou."

"Not really. We also went around in Yuanzhou for several days. After a few days of rest, I will return to Beijing. I wonder how many days can I rest for the two of me? Gong Qin didn't explain, after all, on the first day, let's stay first.

"That's nature. The humble house can have the presence of the prince and the lord of the imperial history, which is full of splendor. It's just that the house is too cold, and I'm afraid I'm going to be wronged and become an adult. ”

"Then there's Lord Laotaishou."

Prince He and Prince Gong also lived in the Taishou Mansion.
