Chapter 111: Winter is Approaching (Part I)
Located in the Dongcheng District of the capital where everyone wants to move their heads in, enter from the Mingde Gate, and then go inside, next to the palace, there is a Buzheng Street, its status and fame, not lost to the Tianbo Street where the powerful gather, Tianbo Street has the mansion of the former Zhongshu Ling Su Ruwen, and on this street, there is the current head of the heavenly official, the family of Shangshu Ling Zhang Boren.
The mansion officially given to Gu Xuan by the imperial court is also located here, after all, he has now successfully obtained the position of the prince, and he is the new crown prince in name of Da Liang, if he still lives in the post house with his subordinates, it will be too inappropriate, and this is also the face of the court and the royal family.
It's just that the previous crown prince Gu Canggang has just died less than half a year ago, although it is said that the tree is falling and scattered, but if the prince's mansion is changed to owners casually, it will be too unkind, and Gu Xuan himself cannot agree to do this, so the imperial court will choose a mansion for him alone, as his Beppu in the capital after that.
"Really, an eye-opener!"
Morobeti, who had already changed into a traditional robe of the Liang Kingdom, couldn't help but stretch out his hand and carefully stroked the stone screen placed at the door, and the frame was carved with seven swimming dragons, lifelike, and the front was smooth, like a stone mirror.
In some time, the Ministry of Industry will send a special craftsman here to sort out the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and carve the words describing Gu Xuan's exploits one by one, so as to show his merits and glory, and the emperor's grace is vast, which can be seen.
Not only did Morobeti look like he was making a fuss, but the Ma brothers next to him were walking east and west, their heads and eyes were so busy that they couldn't stop, where had they ever seen such a magnanimous house in their lives, and it highlighted the ingenuity of craftsmen and all kinds of rules in the subtleties.
All this, for them, is fresh and shocking that they have never experienced.
"Mingze, am I dreaming? ”
Ma Erhu raised his head and looked at the patio in front of him that was bigger than the house he lived in before, and his head almost turned up, in the future, they would live in such a house, all of which gave him a dreamlike sense of unreality.
"Brother Erhu, don't embarrass the prince!"
Although Ma Mingze reminded him so, he himself was actually similar to Ma Erhu, just a little calmer, not too out of shape, but the gap between the front and back was so big, Rao was him, and he couldn't believe everything in front of him.
I thought that after following the prince, I might experience a completely different life from before, but he didn't expect that how long it had passed, they had already moved from a small village in Youzhou to this capital with every inch of land, and they could live in such a big and luxurious house.
Obediently, this pillar is estimated to be enough to buy their ten Majia villages.
These three newcomers walked in with Gu Xuan and the others in front, and just passed through the front yard, at this moment, two columns of people suddenly ran out from inside, men and women separated in turn, wearing the clothes of maids and servants, after seeing Gu Xuan and Lu Yi who were walking in the front, they immediately lowered their heads, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Prince Wanfu Jin'an, slaves meet the master!"
Gu Xuan, who was congratulated by them, had a somewhat bitter face at the moment, and was called "Prince", he was not only uncomfortable, but even had some reluctance in his heart, but he couldn't blame these subordinates who didn't know anything, so he still raised his hand very gracefully and said gently: "Get up." ”
These people in front of them are all people selected from the palace, who know the rules, know the etiquette, how to serve people, and how to cater to the master.
As for whether there are any hidden spies deliberately sent in by other forces, Gu Xuan doesn't know, and of course he doesn't care, because it is difficult to say that this kind of thing will not happen at all, after all, people are separated from their stomachs, and no one knows what these people are thinking in their hearts, so why bother to disgust themselves every day.
Gu Xuan turned his head and said with a smile: "I have to be a big housekeeper for a while for a while." ”
When Lu Yi heard this, he smiled slightly, and said without mind: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world, step by step, in a hurry, there is a way that a house is not swept, how can you sweep the world, everything, you have to be implemented, start from the subtleties, only if you run this place well, you and the ministers and other people who follow you can really let go of your hands and feet to do other things, isn't it?"
This "prince" can be regarded as calling his heart, originally he didn't think of himself as a prince or prince, but at the moment Gu Xuan's mood also improved a little, and he also nodded and said: "What Mr. said is very true, next, let's keep a low profile for a while, and it is only right to gather people." ”
In this world, there are really not many people he can fully trust, and they are basically still outside, and they have not returned to Beijing with him.
Zhu Dachun, Feng Tiesheng and other old people in Huangsha County are reluctant to come, and they don't have that ability, governing a county and governing a country are two completely different things, and it can even be said that they are worlds apart, if they are forcibly raised to a high level, this is not a good thing.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
Wei Ping, thank you, these two people are all great talents, but they are still dealing with the follow-up matters of Wei and Jin, and they can't get away for the time being, as for Cao Yan and Lu Dengyun, they are both generals who can only be used to lead troops to fight, and it is a waste of their talents to come to the capital, as for Lan Yunxuan, they have to stay in Youzhou to help Lu Dengyun, so if Gu Xuan wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital, he must first gather his own team.
Just like this morning, who can stand up in the court to help him speak, Shang Shu ordered Zhang Boren not to think about it for the time being, and Ye Zhihuai doesn't have to talk about it, like Zuo Weidu, and those who may also be willing to throw themselves in the future, they should be well examined again, after all, sometimes, a stupid, or secretly teammate with other thoughts, the damage and destruction caused to their own people are actually far better than a powerful enemy.
Tonight, right here, a grand banquet is about to begin, with Gu Xuan as the east, and the invitation to the banquet, the leading matters are all handed over to Ye Zhihuai, who can come today, will come, not to mention what they have in their hearts, but at least on the surface, they are very interested in joining his subordinates and becoming a minister from the dragon, if there is really a person with a ghost in his heart, not to mention himself, at least Lu Yi can still see it, this is a good opportunity to screen his subordinates.
The so-called test in the future is actually nothing more than handing over some of the daily government affairs to him, or his team to deal with it, Gu Cang actually did it many years ago, and if he wants his government decree to be implemented quickly and effectively, he must get the help of some key people, otherwise the enemy has a way to stumble him.
From top to bottom, layer by layer, you must have your own people staring at it, otherwise there may be problems at any time, and if you make too many mistakes, and then someone deliberately fanning the flames, it will be a huge blow to his image and majesty, and if there are too many times, it can shake his position.
These are just small means of party fighting, others such as malicious framing, and even plotting, each of their own dirty methods, that is endless, if you really rely on yourself to deal with it, no matter how difficult it is for you to parry.
On this side, the maids and maids in the house, as well as the servants of the house, were still carrying and piling them outside, and the gifts specially sent by outsiders and the rewards of the imperial court, as well as all the things used in the house, were cold, and someone walked in directly like this.
"Congratulations to the prince!
Ye Zhihuai this time is to change the habit of rushing home immediately after leaving the palace and not participating in any banquets, at this moment his big sleeves are fluttering, and he looks beaming, and walks over from the outside quickly.
Gu Xuan was originally facing away from him, and when he heard his voice, his brows frowned slightly, but when he turned around to face Ye Zhihuai, he quickly changed into a sincere smile that seemed to be looking at his old friend.
No matter what kind of person Ye Zhihuai is, but at least this time in the Jinluan Palace, it is indeed he who helped him get through the difficulties, and after that, Gu Xuan will only need the help of the other party even more, not to mention anything else, Ye Zhihuai, the head that remembers the resumes of all the officials above the sixth grade in Da Liang, is a priceless treasure.
"I don't know if the night lord is coming, Xuan You's lost the distance, Lord Night, forgive the sins, forgive the sins!"
Ye Zhihuai didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he quickly flicked his sleeves, bowed down, and said: "The prince said this, but it really hurt the lower officials, it was the lower officials who dared to come uninvited, and I hope that the prince Haihan." ”
"It's all your own people, you don't have to be so polite, come, I'll introduce you to you, this is Lord Ye Zhihuai, my Da Liang's official department is still the pillar of the country, if it weren't for Lord Ye to speak for me in the Jinluan Palace, I'm afraid that Xuan really doesn't know what to do. As Gu Xuan spoke, he pointed to Lu Yi who was standing beside him, and introduced happily, "This is Xuanzhi's right-hand man, Lu Yi, Mr. Lu, this small year, thanks to Mr. Lu's help, otherwise Xuan would never be where he is today!"
The two people with very different statuses on the surface, and completely different backgrounds in the secret, glanced at each other across Gu Xuanyao, their expressions stiffened slightly, and then they looked away like lightning, and at the same time saluted each other with a smile, showing great affection.
"Oh, look up for a long time, know Huai at night, I've seen Mr. Lu. ”
"Lord Ye is so polite, Lu Moujie Buyi, he can't afford this big gift!"
