Seeing that his casual remark of "smiling proudly in the rivers and lakes" actually provoked a big reaction from his uncle, Gao Jie was at a loss. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Void Master glanced at Luo Sigong with disgust and said, "How old are you, why are you still like when you were young, and you are shocked?!"

Luo Sigong smiled and said: "There is an old saying, a word wakes up the person in the dream, Xiaojie's sentence of smiling and proud rivers and lakes is exactly what it says!"

Gao Jie was surprised and said, "Uncle Shi, how do you say this?"

Luo Sigong covered his beard and said leisurely: "The old man has been blessed by the first emperor's knowledge, set foot in the court, and served the Ming Dynasty, which has lasted more than 50 years.

Gao Jie exclaimed: "Your old man is planning to retire?"

"Retirement?!" Luo Sigong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although the word retirement is fresh, it is also appropriate! Now the situation above the court is becoming more and more subtle, more and more complicated, a posture of mountains and rains about to come and the wind is full of buildings, as the senior sister said, once a party war breaks out, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to remain neutral, and it is very likely that I will end up in a late season!" Senior sister, next year should be the 90th birthday of the master and his old man, although when he left the teacher, the master once said that the situation of the Emei faction is grim, and we must not go back to see each other easily, but now we are all gray-haired, and if we don't go back, I am afraid that we will see each other indefinitely!

Hearing this, the body shook slightly, raised his head to look at the sky outside the door, his thoughts had already gone to Leshan, as if he saw the old master, his eyes were red, and he choked up: "Although there is always news that the new junior in the middle school has brought the master to be unharmed, but I am really worried about his old man, as if he went back to fulfill his filial piety!"

Gao Jie slapped his face and said: "Then what else to say, since the master and uncle have this intention, it is settled, next year's birthday of the master, your second elder will take me and my sister back together, and return to my hometown!"

Hearing Gao Jie's nonsense, the melancholy decreased slightly, glared at his beloved apprentice, and scolded with a smile: "Go back, go back, your master and my monk's robe and robe, can you return to your hometown?!"

Gao Jie said with a smile: "Misspeak! Misspeak! Didn't the apprentice hear that he was going to return to the master and meet the great master, and he was so excited that it led to the gibberish?

Luo Sigong stood up, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "In this way, there will be a solution to the matter of Hongru!"

Seeing that the Void Master and Gao Jie were puzzled, he walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the snowflakes that slowly began to fall, and said in a deep voice: "Since I have decided not to be nostalgic for my career, then with my current identity, what is the difficulty of rescuing Hongru from Jinyi Wei Prison?!"

Gao Jie exclaimed, "What do you mean by letting Doctor Xu privately?"

Seeing Luo Sigong nodding, the Void Master was too uneasy and said, "Senior brother, wouldn't this be too risky? Once the matter is revealed, you will have to take on a big responsibility!"

Luo Sigong looked back and smiled: "If I still want to serve in the court, naturally I can't bend the law for personal gain and do such a big rebellious thing." But my intention to retire has been decided, and I no longer have any scruples! Come to think of it, over the years, I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family without merit, so what's the harm in fishing out a court criminal?!"

Gao Jie thought about it, with Luo Sigong's status and identity, as well as his relationship with the first emperor, plus decades of loyalty, it should not be much trouble to let Xu Hongru go in private. Moreover, with the skills of the uncle, I am afraid that no one in the capital will be able to keep him.

Thinking of this, Gao Jie brought the hot tea to Luo Sigong's hand and said: "Uncle Shi is arrogant and magnificent, which makes the master and nephew have a sense of admiration and almost want to worship!"

Luo Sigong listened to it, but scolded with a smile in his mouth: "Little pony spirit, your mouth is so sweet, you won't have something to ask for!"

Gao Jie waved his hand again and again, and said: "Uncle Shi, this is wrong to blame me, although I am young, my nephew and nephew, but I was born handsome and chic, and I look dignified, I know at a glance that I am a righteous gentleman who is the same as you, how can I do those things that are sloppy and patting horses? !

Luo Sigong nodded and said, "That's right, you kid really has a little bit of my heroism back then!"

Seeing that Luo Sigong was inadvertently attacked by Gao Jie's hat, the void master shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Gao Jie politely invited Luo Sigong back to his seat and sat down, and while giving him a shoulder massage, he said: "Uncle Shi, since you have decided to be a retired veteran cadre, then take advantage of the last year of your reign to seek more benefits for your nephew! There is an old saying in my hometown, which says that the right is not to be used, and it is invalid when it expires, do you understand?"

Luo Sigong was confused for a while and understood, and asked, "What kind of nonsense, talking about people!"

Gao Jie rolled his eyes and muttered to himself: "No culture, it's terrible!" But he said: "To put it bluntly, it is to quickly use your connections and rights to lay a solid foundation for us juniors!"

Luo Sigong then understood, pointed at Gao Jie and said: "Okay, you kid, I knew that you said something so good, you must have a picture, look, now the fox's tail is exposed!"

The Void Master couldn't help but laugh, and then asked Gao Jie, "Since you are determined to pursue the path of martial arts, why do you care about those glory and wealth?"

Gao Jie hurriedly explained: "Master Mingjian, how can Xiao Jie be greedy for vanity. First of all, I am asking for the revival of my White Lotus Holy Sect. If you want to revive my teaching, how can you do it by relying on personal courage alone, you must use a lot of manpower and material resources to help, so that there is a possibility of success, do you say yes or no?"

Master Clearance and Luo Sigong glanced at each other and nodded silently.

Gao Jie continued: "Secondly, Xiao Jie still has a bigger plan and blueprint in his heart, and then he still needs to have his own army, artillery, ships, etc., and these must also have strong financial and material resources and huge personnel support!"

When Luo Sigong heard this, he was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he whisper: "You kid wants to rebel and establish himself as a king?!"

Gao Jie rolled his eyes at him and said, "No, I haven't thought about how to do this vision yet, and I will tell you immediately when I have a detailed plan." Now I can only reveal one thing to you, that is, on the edge of our Daming, there is a country, there are many devilish people, they have been eyeing my Daming, I plan to accumulate strength, gather manpower, defend for attack, occupy that country, and eliminate the future troubles once and for all!"

Luo Sigong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I see, this plan is good, I approve of it! Is the country you are talking about the Jurchen Dajin Kingdom?"

Gao Jie shook his head and said: "Historically, the Jurchens are also with us, they are all a family, and they are not outsiders! Now the dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom belongs to fighting behind closed doors, and it is a family matter! But the country I am talking about is different, it is a veritable foreigner, and the conscience is very bad!"

If you are a modern person, when you hear Gao Jie say the phrase "conscience is very bad", I am afraid that nine times out of ten you will guess which country he hates.

But Luo Sigong didn't think about it for a while, he peeked at the Pure Sky Master, and saw the junior sister smiling and nodding, so he patted his chest and said, "Okay! Since you are ambitious, the master will naturally help!"

In the evening, the first assistant Ye Xiang Gao Fuzhong, the high-level Ming cabinet, and the six Shangshu almost all gathered here. Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Sun Shenxing and others sat in turn in the living room, talking about today's visit to Zhongyong Hou Gaojie.

Zhao Nanxing said: "Lord Ye wants to accept him as an apprentice, but he even refused, he really doesn't know how to promote!"

Sun Shenxing echoed: "That's right, although this kid has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, he says one thing at a time, but in fact he is short-sighted, and he is just a little pariahs in the countryside!"

Everyone knew that Sun Shenxing was dissatisfied because Gao Jie had refuted his views in Ciqing Palace, so he said so harshly, and he didn't care, only Yang Lianteng stood up and frowned: "Lord Sun's words are wrong, Gao Jie is now a loyal and brave marquis, even if he has different political views from me, we should not insult him behind my back, such mean words will lose my identity as a Donglin scholar!"

Sun Shenxing was robbed of Yang Lian's blunt words for a while, ashamed and annoyed, and snorted coldly: "You dare to be so rude in a small matter?!"

Yang Lian was not afraid, raised his head and said: "The position of the subordinate official is low, but it does not mean that people speak lightly, and it does not mean that what is said is not right! If Lord Sun can only tolerate people with higher status than you in his eyes, then there will be only a few Donglin people left!"

In the Donglin Party, everyone knows that this Yang Lian is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even the emperor Lao Tzu dares to confront him in person, not to mention Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who saw that these two people were arguing, and immediately stopped talking about each other, and focused on them.

Sun Shenxing was so overpowered that he couldn't get off the stage, his face was blue and red, his beard was trembling, and he was still waiting to argue, but he heard Ye Xianggao get up and shouted: "I gathered here today to decide the matter of the loyal and brave marquis, but the two adults are arguing like naughty children, it's very inappropriate!"

After all, Ye Xianggao is the leader of the Donglin Party, and he is in the position of the first assistant, and his words are still quite deterrent, Sun Shenxing listened, held back the words that came to his mouth, glared at Yang Lian hatefully, and then turned around, took a big sip of the teacup, and calmed his mind.

Yang Lian saluted Ye Xianggao, and then walked back to his seat and sat down in a hurry, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Xianggao looked at Yang Lian, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he knew that this person was a straight-hearted, short-tempered, upright, not good at scheming, as a scholar, but he had no self-cultivation, he was just a fierce Zhang Fei, and he was an alternative. But it is precisely because of this bold Yang Lian that ordinary people dare not speak lightly to the emperor's admonitions, as well as the words of attack on political enemies, can be said by him without fear, this point, no one can replace it among the Donglin Party, he is an indispensable good gunner, a good mouthpiece. After weighing the pros and cons, everyone can only let some inappropriate words about him go, and generally will not be true. Ye Xianggao naturally couldn't do anything about him, so he didn't pay attention to him, out of sight and out of mind, he walked in front of Wang Wenyan at the moment, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, what do you think?"
