Chapter 51: Dugu Gong
The emperor's approval soon came down, and Yang Guang was officially appointed as the chief eunuch of Daxingcheng, entrusted with important tasks, and sent six officials to the eunuch for his dispatch.
Yang Guang's civil and military masters, Wang Shao and Li Che, naturally both have positions, and they can be regarded as officially helping Yang Guang.
Among the other four, Yu Wenkai and Liu Long are in charge of the technical aspect, and Liu Long, the master craftsman, is also his engineering consultant and concurrently serves as the deputy supervisor, two deputy supervisors, Yu Wenkai has more authority, and he is in control of the overall planning and steps, and Liu Long is only responsible for the affairs of the palace.
Will be the position of a master craftsman, in charge of the construction of palaces, temples, mausoleums, etc., this Liu Long was originally a skilled and superb craftsman.
Taifu Shaoqing Zhang Xuan is the supervisor, in charge of money and food, he is now also Yang Guang's subordinate, which means that Yang Guang of Daxing City also has full power, and the emperor has completely given him the right.
These five people are all in normal configuration, and there is another person Yang Guang who didn't expect that his name is Gao Hongde, and he is the second son of Shangshu Zuo Servant (equivalent to Prime Minister) Gao Gong.
And his position is also very interesting, the emperor appointed him to be the secretary of the Jin Dynasty and the history of the Daxingcheng Eunuch, the position of the secretary of the office is in charge of the chapter table, the secretary of the report, that is to say, if Yang Guang needs to write to the emperor on a formal occasion in the future, he has to go through his hands.
Yang Guang was a little puzzled by Yang Jian's arrangement, and after thinking about it, he said, "Wang Yi, prepare the horse, I want to go and meet Gao Xiang." ”
Outside Gao Gong's mansion, when he learned that the king of Jin was coming to visit him, Gao Gong asked the palace to be ready to greet Yang Guang with the highest standards.
Yang Guang got down from the carriage and was greeted by a young man of the age of a weak crown, the young man looked without any characteristics, that is, the appearance of ordinary people, the appearance that was easy for people to ignore, and the dress was more elegant.
"Weichen Gao Hongde, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
Although Gao Hongde has not yet reported to Yang Guang, since the emperor has appointed him, he is a person with official status, and there is no problem with calling himself a courtier.
"Brother Gao, you and I didn't see each other much before, but now my father has arranged for you and me to work together, so I will need more help in the future."
Yang Guang is still the same as Yu Wenhua to deal with Gao Hongde, a senior brother, and the high hat will be brought to others first.
Gao Hongde was flattered: "Your Highness really tortured me, you can still call me Hongde." ”
"Brother Gao, don't say that, you are older than me, and you have always had a reputation for being virtuous, you can come to help me, I am almost jumping up with joy in the house, isn't this just that I can't help but come to talk to Brother Gao first."
Gao Hongde only felt that Yang Guang was not only a talent, but also spoke well, and the two complimented each other and walked into the Gao Mansion.
Gao Hongde, who had just come out, felt a little proud.
Gao Gong and others were in the main hall, and saw Yang Guangxian respectfully greeting: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here, and the Gao Mansion is shining." ”
"Gao Xiang, I should have come to visit you more often, my father also said that you are his right-hand man, many matters even he felt that after discussing with you, my father asked me to ask your opinion more, some time ago it was indeed because there were too many things, delayed, today I learned that Brother Gao and my colleagues, I will immediately take this opportunity to visit you."
Yang Guang came up with a rainbow fart, and he was stunned by the well-informed Gao Gong, what is the situation?
In fact, recently, the whole Gao Mansion, from Gao Gong to his three sons, have regarded Yang Guang as an imaginary enemy.
Gao Gong's daughter is Yang Yong's side concubine, and he is Yang Yong's father-in-law.
Before Yang Guang came to the fore, Yang Yong's position as the crown prince was very stable, although he did not obviously favor Yang Yong in the court, but marrying his daughter to Yang Yong was his attitude and investment.
The emperor's recent transformation and reuse of Yang Guang made him feel a little uneasy.
And now, this imaginary enemy came to visit, and he was extremely low-key and even flattering, which made him wonder how the young man who fought in the court despite the opposition of the ministers seemed to have changed his temper.
Gao Gong said with a serious face: "Your Highness, you and my father and son are different from each other, please don't call the old minister by your words, and don't call Hongde by the word brother, otherwise my father and son will be disrespectful, and please Your Highness, don't make it difficult for the old minister." ”
This is still the first person who is immune to Yang Guang's high-hat killing strategy after crossing over.
As Yang Guang, he is willing to put down his body to praise this group of people, and he is generally happy to accept it, saying no, and his expression is very honest.
But Gao Gong saw through Yang Guang's approach at a glance, which made Yang Guang re-examine the prime minister of the Great Sui, the person who can become Yang Jian's right-hand man, is really not an ordinary person, he has enough calmness and rationality.
"People say that the high-faced iron face is selfless, but it is really unkind."
"To do things for Your Majesty, to inherit Your Majesty's grace to come to this position, the old minister is always criticized for his life, and if he is offended, he also looks forward to His Royal Highness Haihan, I don't know what His Royal Highness has today."
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my father has an order, and the prince of Gao Xiang will be in charge of Daxing City with this king next, so I have to come and see each other first, get familiar with each other, and there is Gao Xiang's ......"
Yang Guang said and looked directly at Gao Gong: "Gao Xiang has always opposed the construction of Daxing City, and I attach great importance to Gao Xiang's ideas and opinions. ”
Gao Gong was speechless for a while, and did not rush to answer, and only spoke after a short silence: "Your Highness said that it was a joke, the old minister was not against the construction of Daxing City, but against all the projects that were built and worked hard and cost money. ”
"Oh, that's good, I always hear someone say to this king that Gao Xiang is because the project of Daxing City is done by this king, so Gao is the opposite, I thought it was me who was the opposite of Gao."
Gao Gong didn't expect Yang Guang to say it so bluntly, but he still didn't change his face: "Your Highness, don't listen to the villain's slander, Weichen has offended many people in the court, and he is not good at dealing with people, so it is inevitable that people will talk about it behind his back." ”
"Naturally, naturally, Gao Xiang himself said, can you still lie to me, and Ling Gongzi will go with me in the future, all my twists and turns have to be handed over by Ling Gongzi's hand to present to his father, both of us have experience shortcomings, and there will be trouble in the future for Gao Xiang's help."
"Your Highness is polite, the child is dull, there are things that are not good enough, His Highness just scolds him and makes him better, there are places where the old minister can help, His Highness can speak out."
Yang Guang nodded: "I'm much more relieved when Gao Xiang said this, but there is one more thing I want to discuss with Gao Xiang, I think you are wrong." ”
"What?"
"Fang Cai said that he opposes a project that consumes national strength, but Daxing City will not be a project that consumes national strength."
"I want to hear about it."
"You should know about the recent sale of the house by this king."
Gao Gong nodded.
"Continue to sell the house like this, I believe that the income can be used to fill the cost of Daxing City, and Gao Xiang should be able to calculate it."
"But Your Highness, your current house is sold to officials or wealthy businessmen, ordinary people can't come up with so much money to buy a house, and they will be worried that they can't get a house in this way, after all, they may be enough to buy such a house in a lifetime, they must be cautious, and it will not be as easy to sell as it is now."
Obviously, Gao Gong is still a very calm person.
"Yes, when the house drops to the level of ordinary people, the heat decreases a lot, but it still has to be bought, just buy early and buy late, the money arrives early and late, just the income from buying a house must be filled with the income from the construction of ordinary houses in Daxing City, even if they have concerns, they can still sell the house when Daxing City is built, and I plan to set up [Daxing Money Village] to store silver money and issue treasury bonds."
