Seeing that Gao Jie was silent, Ye Xianggao and Wang Wenyan glanced at each other, then each picked up a teacup and tasted tea, sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and waited for Gao Jie to take the bait. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a while, Gao Jie raised his eyes to look at Ye Xianggao and said solemnly: "Lord Ye is so enthusiastic to help, it is very touching. It's just that the kid is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he pays attention to grievances and grievances. The so-called merit is not rewarded, Lord Ye took this errand, I don't know what the conditions are?"

Without waiting for Ye Xianggao to speak, Wang Wenyan clapped his hands and smiled: "What a grievance is clear! The Marquis of Zhongyong is the Marquis of Zhongyong, he is a good man with affection and righteousness, Wang Mou is not wrong!"

Gao Jie ignored Wang Wenyan's useless compliments, and still looked at Ye Xianggao, waiting for his answer.

The reader's face was already thin-skinned, Ye Xianggao didn't expect Gao Jie to point out the key points of this matter so directly, his face was a little unbearable, he became cramped, and stroked his long beard under his chin and said: "Look at it, Hou Ye asked this, the old man didn't think about exchanging any conditions with Zhongyong Hou at all, he was completely sincere and wanted to help!"

Gao Jie immediately got up and said: "In this case, Gao Jie has thanked Master Ye first! It is rare in this world to have such a good person who is not self-interested and specializes in benefiting others, Lord Ye is really a model for my generation to learn!"

Ye Xianggao was put on his head by Gao Jie's high hat, and he was even more embarrassed to mention the conditions.

Wang Wenyan saw that Ye Xianggao was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Ye's high style and bright festival has always been admired by the lower officials. To change the decision of His Royal Highness King Xin, it is really not an easy thing to do, Lord Ye is so painstaking and laborious, there is nothing else to do, he just hopes to make an alliance with the Hou Ye, and in the future, they will advance and retreat together in the court, and this kind of situation is excellent for both sides. ”

blocked Ye Xianggao's mouth, but he didn't expect Wang Wenyan to say the conditions, and Gao Jie's eyes and thoughts once again turned to this seven-rank sesame official who was a little angry.

Wang Wenyan is indeed an outlier among the Donglin Party, and he does not have any of the inherent love of face, scholarly temperament, and moral cleanliness of scholars, but is more like a man in the rivers and lakes, or a small official of the yamen, sleek and sophisticated, shrewd and cunning, left and right in all strata, calling for wind and rain.

Ye Xianggao couldn't say anything because of his face, he was thick-skinned, and he threw it out very numbly, and his face didn't change color and his heart didn't beat, as if this was natural and normal, which made Gao Jie hate his teeth itching, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "The old sparrow of Dongting Lake!"

Since the conditions have been put forward on the other side, it is impossible to avoid it, Gao Jie had to smile bitterly: "The kid is different from the two adults, you are pursuing ideals and careers, while I am pursuing a martial arts path." To put it bluntly, I have no interest in court politics, and I will never participate in it. If Lord Ye's condition is for me to stand in line, it will only disappoint you. ”

When Ye Xianggao heard this, his face became solemn.

Wang Wenyan did not give up, and hurriedly said: "People have their own ambitions, so naturally they can't be forced. It's just that Lord Shoufu and the lower officials saw that Hou Ye and the Wei Gonggong family were quite close, and they felt that it was a pity, and they really didn't want to see Hou Ye's good future delayed!"

Gao Jie said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with Wei Liangqin's brother and sister, which only involves friendship, not politics. I have made it clear that my ambition is not above the court, but in the rivers and lakes. In other words, I will not be on your side, nor will I be on your side because of my personal relationship. But if anyone wants to hack me, then I can't guarantee today's promise. ”

Wang Wenyan chewed Gao Jie's words carefully, and then smiled: "With Hou Ye's words, Lord Ye and I are relieved, right?"

His last word "right" was said to Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao also said when he heard this: "Above the court, there was only one person who remained neutral before, Lord Luo. What is rare is that over the years, he has indeed achieved a bowl of water, fairness and justice, which is really admirable! I hope that Hou Ye can also reach the realm of Lord Luo in the future!"

Gao Jie said with a smile: "Thank you two adults for understanding, my uncle has always been my role model, I will study hard in the future and make progress every day!"

Ye Xianggao glanced at Wang Wenyan, and when he nodded slightly, he stood up and said goodbye: "In this way, I won't bother the Marquis of Zhongyong, after I go back today, I will think about the wording, and strive to succeed in one fell swoop tomorrow, and help the Marquis persuade His Royal Highness King Xin to change his mind!"

Gao Jie also got up and thanked the two of them, and sent them outside the mansion before turning back.

At this moment, the Void Master was already sitting in the hall, and when she saw Gao Jie coming back, she got up and hurriedly said, "What you said, I heard it in the back." These two are not good people, with bad intentions, you don't have to ask them!"

Gao Jie pulled the master and asked her to sit down steadily, before he smiled and said: "Don't worry, when did I suffer a loss as your apprentice?!" All they want is not to go against them in the court in the future, and I don't have the slightest intention to participate in the government, this condition is not a condition for me at all, but it is in line with my intentions. Besides, I didn't say anything to death, if one day they attack me and my relatives and friends, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

The Void Master breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I am a monk, and I don't have as many fancy intestines as you, I just hope that you won't feel pressured because of the rescue of Hongru, so that you will make a decision that violates your own principles." ”

Gao Jie felt the master's kindness, and was moved, and said solemnly: "The apprentice understands, please rest assured that the master has my own measure! By the way, the master should have come early on weekdays, why hasn't he appeared today, if something is abnormal, it is a demon, and there is a problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice from outside the hall: "You are big!" Immediately, Luo Sigong strode in.

Gao Jie said bad things behind his back, but he didn't expect to be heard by the parties, so he hurriedly smiled forward and said: "Uncle Shi, I didn't say that you have a problem, it means that you came so late, there must be a problem in the Jinyi Guard Yamen to deal with!"

Luo Sigong scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head!" sat down next to Master Clearance, and asked softly, "Senior sister, are you okay?"

Before Master Pure Sky could say anything, Gao Jie said: "I haven't seen you for a day, how can my master be bad?!"

Luo Sigong glared at him and said, "Why is there no nutrition?" I just came out of the palace, and met His Royal Highness King Xin in the palace, and he asked me very nervously, do you have any abnormal reactions. I was confused and asked him if he had a little trouble with you, and His Royal Highness was listless, saying that what he had promised you had changed again, and I was afraid that you would be angry. Only then did I understand that it must be about Hongru, so I came in and asked if your master was okay!"

Gao Jie listened to Luo Sigong talk about meeting Zhu Youzhen, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and he was suddenly stunned.

Seeing this, the Void Master hurriedly said to Luo Sigong: "I'm fine, don't worry! I have already said that this time I came to Beijing, I did not hope to rescue Hongru, you let Hui Jing see her father, I will be satisfied! Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, all the Virgin has her own arrangements, let it be!"

Luo Sigong said: "So, His Royal Highness King Xin has really changed his hexagram?"

Master Pure Sky nodded and said, "Yes, he sent a messenger to deliver a letter in the morning, saying that he couldn't help, and he didn't know what was going on!"

Luo Sigong looked at Gao Jie and asked, "I seem to have seen Shoufu Ye Xianggao leave from here just now, could it be that he came here?"

Seeing that Gao Jie was not giving up, the Void Master didn't hear Luo Sigong's question at all, so he had to reply: "Yes, Ye Xianggao and Wang Wenyan have just been here! Their intentions are very direct, and I hope that Xiao Jie can become an ally of the court with them in the future." ”

Luo Sigong was startled, got up and walked in front of Gao Jie, and said hurriedly: "You agreed?!"

Gao Jie was finally woken up by Luo Sigong's face-to-face sound, blinking his confused eyes, and he asked, "What did you promise?"

Luo Sigong said: "Promise to wear a pair of pants with Ye Xianggao!"

Gao Jie then understood, and said disdainfully: "I have pants to wear, so it's not uncommon!"

Only then did Luo Sigong put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good! Above the court, the situation is turbulent, and each faction is deceitful and fighting with each other, and what they do is nothing more than their own interests. If you agree to Ye Xianggao and get involved, you will be deeply branded by the Donglin Party, and once they lose power in the court, you will definitely be implicated! We martial artists, we must not participate in this kind of power struggle, and concentrating on martial arts is the right way!"

The Void Master snorted and said, "You educate juniors one by one, didn't you also deviate from the path of martial arts and set foot in the court?"

Luo Sigong said: "I was young at that time, where did I understand these truths, I was confused by glory, wealth, power and righteousness, so that I lost the heart of martial arts, and I have not been able to step into the realm of Dacheng so far." However, even if I followed the first emperor into Beijing to hold an important position and respected my status, I still maintained a fair heart and strictly adhered to the bottom line of not forming a party, so that I could be uncriticized, gain the trust of the emperors of the three dynasties, and maintain a stable position like Mount Tai!"

The Void Master said lightly: "What you said is light, really wait until the factions in the DPRK and China are fighting, and the situation in the court is turbulent, you want to clean yourself and protect yourself, but I'm afraid I can't help you!"

When Luo Sigong heard this, he was speechless when he thought of the fate of Zhang Juzheng, the former first assistant, Wang An, the great eunuch who led the East Factory, and his friend Xiong Tingbi.

Gao Jie was secretly amused when he saw that his master was deflated, and said: "I think Master is reasonable, even if we are self-cultivation and fairness, but one day we will be forced by the situation and fall into the court dispute." The best way is to stay away from the court and smile proudly!"

Luo Sigong muttered the words "smiling proud rivers and lakes", slowly turned around and sat back on his chair, just like Gao Jie just now, lost his mind.

Gao Jie didn't expect that when he said it casually, his uncle had entered a state of dementia, and he suddenly became a little uneasy, and hurriedly made a cup of hot tea for Luo Sigong and delivered it to him diligently.

Seeing that Luo Sigong came back to his senses, Gao Jie said with a smile: "Although I promised not to help each other and not to interfere in the government, Ye Xianggao promised to do his best to do the work of the inspection, but I still feel that it is not safe and not completely sure, so I still want to hear it, uncle, do you have any other way!"

When Luo Sigong heard this, he shook his head twice, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh and shouted: "Yes!
