King Lu sent me clothes?

As I said before, the Ming generation gave a certain robe, and the emperor usually only gave one set, if you want to wear it every day, you have to find someone to do it yourself, and the emperor's reward is actually only to give you the right to wear this robe, so of course, the highly pragmatic python robe is made by yourself.

This is a trivial matter, and he naturally does not lack this little money, but the meaning of King Lu giving him two sets of python robes is different.

Theoretically speaking, Gao Pragmatic is not an official of King Lu's Mansion, and King Lu, as a vassal king of a country that has not yet been established, should not have any dealings with him, which is a violation.

But the system of the Ming Dynasty ...... Sometimes as long as the emperor turns a blind eye, that's actually the case.

Judging from today's situation, the emperor obviously doesn't care - even if it is not good, he acquiesces, because Zhang Cheng is the master of ceremonies and the pen, and normally speaking, it is impossible for King Lu to move him.

What's more, the timing of Zhang Cheng's appearance is also exaggerated, and now that the dynasty has just dispersed, many officials have not left yet. In broad daylight, even if His Royal Highness King Lu eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he should not dare to come to "make friends with courtiers".

Therefore, King Lu's actions were either instructed by Zhu Yijun or acquiesced by him, no matter what, it means that Zhu Yijun does not object to him to befriend Gao Shipra.

Gao pragmatic smiled: "His Royal Highness King Menglu raised his love, and the ministers were so frightened, please ask Zhang Bingbi to convey his thanks to me." ”

Zhang Cheng was a little stunned, and said secretly: This is the end? Isn't it said that this former Xiaoge old and today's Gao Gong Bao are particularly 'on the road'? Doesn't this show the intentions of His Royal Highness King Lu?

"This ...... Thank you, our family will convey it to His Royal Highness King Lu for Gao Gongbao, but, uh......" Zhang Cheng didn't expect Gao Pragmatic not to take the initiative to pick up, so it was a little difficult to say it all of a sudden.

"What is the difficulty of Zhang Bingbi?" Gao Pragmatic smiled gently: "If it is an official matter, the court is free and legal, I am afraid that the Ministry and the Yuan will not be able to help, but if it is just a matter of money, Zhang Bingbi can say that the Ministry and the Yuan have never cherished gold and jade." ”

Zhang Cheng's mind was stunned: I'm short of money? I won't look for you if I'm short of money, and you don't need my help in the palace, what will I pay back after I look for you? Eh, wait......

"Hehe, our family...... Well, our family ......."

"It seems that Zhang Bingbi hasn't thought about it yet. Otherwise, after thinking about it and understanding it, I went to my cousin Gao Guoyan, and Jinghua Qianzhuang was taken care of by him. There are still some mundane affairs that need to be dealt with in this department, so I will not delay thinking about it, and I will leave first, and then I will meet again. ”

Gao pragmatic arched his hand as he spoke, turned around and left. The two little eunuchs were holding the tray, and they didn't know if they wanted to follow.

Although Zhang Cheng's face was not very good, he still waved his hand to let them follow Gao Pragmatic, and he hesitated a little and went by himself.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic knew what King Lu meant by looking for himself, and there were only two possibilities, either he hoped that he would express his support for the cost of his wedding, or he would directly "pull sponsorship".

However, in both of these ways, Gao Pragmatic did not intend to do what he wished - the imperial treasury had already smashed hundreds of thousands of taels into the wedding, and the land allocated to him was also enough (the vassal king officially gave the land only to enjoy the benefits, and the specific matters were operated by the local government on his behalf), if he jumped out now to express his support for continuing to increase the cost of King Lu's wedding, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Cisheng may be happy, but his reputation for high pragmatism will definitely be affected.

Although the reputation of Gao Pragmatic is no longer "the world is good", some people began to talk about Jinghua's strength too strong, but because he has always asked Jinghua to pay attention to goodwill, and has not made any angry deeds, this statement is far from the mainstream.

But once Gao pragmatic support continues to improve the use of King Lu's wedding, this will definitely be remembered by those who are interested, at least a "flattering" hat will definitely not be able to run.

If it is said that singing praises and virtues is flattering, then every Ming official has the experience of flattery, which does not need to be explained at all. But the nature of the specific flattering behavior is different. Supporting the use of the imperial treasury to indulge the "wanton extravagance" of the vassal king is definitely a black spot for officials. This pot, Gao Pragmatic can never carry it.

As for King Lu's direct sponsorship, let him contribute a sum of money out of thin air...... Hehe, do you have such a big face?

Yes, even if I am responsible for the construction of your Luwang Mansion alone, I can't afford it, but why should I?

Isn't it impossible for me to pay, 100,000 taels? Two hundred thousand taels? 300,000 taels? Or 500,000 taels?

All of them!

However, I have to trouble you to let the people behind you come forward to talk to me, whether it is the emperor or the Empress Dowager Cisheng, their face is worth the price.

But you Zhu Yihua can't do it. I'll just say it bluntly: You are a vassal king, and you are not worth the price, even if you are the emperor's own brother.

Why is King Lu still a little "valuable" now? Isn't it that Zhu Yijun doesn't have a son-in-law yet?

Although the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, has been born, but no one in Manshenjing knows about Concubine Wang Gong's disgrace?

Of course, more importantly, the prince's health is not too good. According to Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, the eldest son of the emperor had jaundice for a while, whooping cough for a while, and almost died several times. Usually troublesome, a little careless is spitting up, sleeping on the stomach (babies sleep too early are easy to suffocate), sores, a bunch of people in the palace are worried every day.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic knew that this young master should not die young, but ...... Queen Wang is still very young on her side, and Li Shizhen is waiting on her side to see a doctor at any time, what is there to worry about in his high palace?

Although it is said that "it is difficult for doctors to heal themselves since ancient times", Li Shizhen in history also lived to be seventy-five years old, and he still has at least ten years to live, so why panic? As long as he is not allowed to learn from Shennong and taste a hundred herbs like in history, he can taste everything by himself, and most of them will live longer.

In fact, the root of this problem lies with the queen and the king.

Gao Pragmatic originally thought that Queen Wang was only because of postpartum depression after giving birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, or fear of childbirth, so she had always been rejected to get pregnant again, but later found out that the situation may not be so simple - Queen Wang may have been "kidnapped by morality".

Queen Wang is undoubtedly a virtuous queen, but since ancient times, virtuous queens have a characteristic, that is, desperate "anti-jealousy".

What is anti-jealousy?

As we all know, there has long been a saying among the people that "seven out of three out", of which there are two of the "seven outs": obscenity and jealousy.

Let the former go for a while and talk about jealousy. The scope of application of jealousy is actually very wide, but at this time, in women's family life, even if it is a heavenly family, there are some of the most common jealousies, that is, such as prohibiting or opposing husbands from taking concubines, and prohibiting or opposing husbands from having sex with concubines. In the case of a relatively "lighter crime", it is sufficient to replace the prohibition or opposition with "reduce as much as possible".

In this way, the reverse is: encouraging husbands to take concubines, encouraging husbands to have sex with concubines, and trying to minimize or even simply avoid having sex with their husbands, is "anti-jealousy" and "virtuous".

This is really a god operation that makes Gao Shishi stunned, even if he is a man, he feels extremely distorted.

In fact, Gao Pragmatic suspects that Queen Wang's current mentality is close to this level. But this is not her fault, but the fault of public opinion, the fault of cultural roots.

Even if the special identity of the heavenly family is removed, the relationship between Zhu Yijun and Queen Wang is very good, why does Queen Wang still think and act like this in this situation?

It can only be said that it is caused by cultural orientation and social public opinion. She believes that only by doing this can she be a good queen and a good wife. At the same time, in her heart, a good queen and a good wife would be helpful to her husband, so she insisted on doing so.

This kind of thinking is of course very distorted in Gao Shishi's opinion, but the trouble is that it is impossible for him and Queen Wang to be alone, so he can't find an opportunity to persuade her and change her mind. The plot of some Ming Piercing as a courtier actually soaking in the queen seems to him to be a complete dream - just look at how difficult it is for the eldest princess of Yongning to meet him.

That's just a widowed princess, this has to be replaced by the queen of the dynasty, don't talk about picking up people, even if it's just a "separate meeting", I'm afraid most of them will lose their heads.

Gao Pragmatic is the person who compiled the "Ming Huidian", he knows very well how strict the harem palace ban of the Ming Dynasty is, as a person who does not have the ability of the nine-headed insect, he does not plan to commit suicide in this way.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic has a huge potential in the palace, and even if he doesn't show up, he can convey his words to anyone in the palace. It's a pity that neither Huang Mengyu nor Chen Ju are suitable as lobbyists to untie the knot for Queen Wang.

A virtuous queen like Queen Wang has a high sense of vigilance against the eunuch itself, and if the eunuch still persuades her to "compete for favor" and "flatter", it will definitely only have the opposite effect. Queen Wang, who has always only tried to manage the affairs of the harem, may even be provoked, and Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju may even be unlucky at that time.

Moreover, there is no dispute over the national capital at present, and it is necessary to persuade Queen Wang to "consider for the Ming Dynasty...... This persuasiveness seems to be lacking.

Let's wait, wait for Zhu Changxun to be born, and after the battle for the national capital appears, I will find a way to do it myself.

Out of the palace, Gao Mo immediately greeted him, his face a little anxious.

Gao Shishi's heart suddenly changed, and he said secretly: It can't be that Myanmar or Siam has changed again, right?

Who knew that after Gao Mo walked over quickly, he lowered his voice and said something more troublesome than the changes in southern Xinjiang.

"Master, Puzhou is in an emergency, and my grandfather is seriously ill."

Gao Pragmatic was going to talk while walking, but when he suddenly heard this thunderbolt on a sunny day, he subconsciously stopped and stood on the spot.

Gao Mo didn't dare to say more, and after waiting for a long time, Gao Pragmatic came back to his senses, and asked with the last trace of luck: "What ......does it mean to be seriously ill?"

"This ......" Gao Mo was also a little difficult to speak, but in the end he could only answer in a whisper: "Maybe, time...... Nothing. ”

Gao Pragmatic was not in a daze this time, and said decisively: "Go to Xiaoyongfang, immediately!" ”

As he spoke, he walked quickly to his green sedan chair without hesitation, and did not wait for the family to open the sedan curtain for him. ”

Gao Mo hurriedly followed and informed the governor of the honor guard to divert the hour Yongfang.

Not long after, the honor guard of "Prince Shaobao, the right attendant of the military department and the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, and the governor of Liaodong Zanli Military Affairs" came all the way to Yongfang, and the disciples of Zhang University's Mansion were so shocked that they came out to see the freshness from inside.

Of course, Menzi was confused, of course he knew that the governor of Liaodong was the young master of his family, but what kind of person was the young master, how could he suddenly come without informing him? This...... It's not in accordance with the etiquette law, how could the young master make such a mistake? Could it be that the person he sent before was delayed?

However, something even more inappropriate appeared.

Gao Shishi, dressed in a big red silk python robe, rushed out of the green nun sedan chair, even took the official hat, grabbed the black gauze hat with his left hand, and rushed over like the wind.

People will definitely not admit their mistakes, so Menzi was about to salute as soon as his legs bent, but Gao Pragmatic directly stretched out his hand to push him away, and his voice changed from his usual gentle and elegant voice to become very cold: "I have something urgent to see my uncle, get out of the way!" ”

Menzi was completely stunned, but this was actually said to the people behind him, because those people didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously reached out to stop it, but before the words of inquiry could be spoken, they were also directly pushed away by Gao Shishi.

A few of Zhang's subordinates didn't dare to really stop him, so they were naturally broken into by him all of a sudden.

Zhang Siwei in the side hall had just returned home, and his butt was not hot, so he heard some noise outside, as if someone was shouting "Young Master Cousin" or something, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

I didn't hear that my nephew was coming today, what's going on?

Zhang Siwei was about to send someone out to take a look, but unexpectedly, a figure had already walked in quickly, and at the same time came his words: "Uncle, let the subordinates retreat first, and the nephew has something important to tell." ”

"Truth-seeking?" Zhang Siwei was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Gao Shishi's serious face, he reacted and waved his hand: "Everyone retreat, no one will be left within thirty steps." ”

It was the first time that the people had seen this situation, and they hurriedly retreated. Zhang Siwei then asked, "Truth-seeking, what's wrong?" You're not reckless, sit down and catch your breath......"

Gao pragmatically interrupted: "Uncle! Puzhou emergency report, grandpa is critically ill! ”

"Smack!"

A fragrant tea held by Zhang Siwei in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the best Yuyao tea cup was shattered all at once, and the fragrant tea soup splashed all over the ground.

Gao Pragmatic didn't speak again, and Zhang Siwei was also flustered for a while before he gasped, stood up suddenly, and said, "I'll go...... No, I'm not thinking well right now...... Seeking the truth, you go to write a note on my behalf, just say that my father is seriously ill and anxious, and he wants to resign from his book and various positions, return to his hometown immediately, and do his filial piety. ”

Gao Shishi was stunned for a moment, but suddenly found that his train of thought was wrong, and the expression on his face immediately changed from eagerness to sadness, and his voice immediately became a little choked, and he twitched before saying, "Good ......"

But when he turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Wait, uncle, this matter needs to be discussed again." ”

Zhang Siwei just sat back on the Taishi chair weakly, and at this time he slowly moved his eyes, looked at Gao Shishi, and asked a little blankly: "Discuss?" What to discuss? ”
