By the time Gao Shishi came to Baiyulou to invite Liu Xin to have lunch with him, Liu Xin had already finished reading the boss's stack of files.

Looking at the high-spirited Gao Pragmatic, Liu Xin raised her eyelids and asked, "The eldest princess is gone?" ”

"Uh......" Gao pragmatic smiled stiffly, and said with a dry smile: "Not yet, she ...... I really like to see Xinzhai, and I plan to stay a little longer. ”

Liu Xin suddenly sniffed, then looked at Gao Shishi, and said with a somewhat teasing expression: "Well, the incense on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really of high quality, and after talking to her all morning, even you are so fragrant." ”

Gao Shi coughed and said, "This ......"

Liu Xin stretched out her hand to stop it and continued: "But don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in your private life, Boss Gao. It's just that as far as I know, there are nearly 300 maids in the entire Jianxinzhai Courtyard who are married by Huang Dutong, and I am afraid that some clues cannot be hidden from them, and of course they cannot be concealed from Huang Dutong. Instead of thinking about how to tell me, you should think about how to explain to Mrs. Zun. ”

Gao pragmatic didn't speak, and walked to a chair not far away and sat down.

Liu Xin waited for him to do a good job, and then said: "And I don't understand a little, and I suddenly want to ask you." ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "Ask." ”

Liu Xin said with interest: "In that temple in the eighth year of Wanli, I also saw the fourth princess, how can I say it...... It's very beautiful, yes, at that time, he was beautiful and dignified at a young age, and he must be even more beautiful now than he was back then. But I've also seen those maids personally selected by Lord Lingtang to be sent to the Shinsai Courtyard, and in terms of beauty alone, they are really top-notch, and they don't lose to anyone.

I'm very strange, why don't you let so many beauties around you enjoy it, but you want to provoke Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? You should know that if this matter spreads, it will really be the most exciting peachy news in the world, and the most important thing is that the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Gao Shishi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "What you said makes sense, but if this matter is ...... Is it a hint from the Emperor? ”

Liu Xin really looked surprised: "The emperor's hint? ”

Gao pragmatically nodded affirmatively and said seriously: "Yes." ”

Liu Xin tilted her head, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded, "I understand." It seems that the emperor is quite guilty about the eldest princess's surrender of Liang Bangrui, and his friendship with you may be really different, so he will have such a move. But I still have some doubts, the eldest princess was not the concubine the emperor found for her when she got married, why did the emperor feel so guilty? It is said that there is no family affection in the heavenly family, and the relationship between their brothers and sisters is so good? ”

"Of course, the heavenly family will also have family affection, but sometimes they have to be restricted by the rules." Gao Pragmatic sighed: "As for why the emperor is so guilty, there are some things that you don't know at that time, but I can tell you." ”

"I want to hear about it." Liu Xin nodded. So Gao pragmatic briefly introduced the situation at that time.

After speaking, he spread his hands: "So whether it's me or the emperor, I feel guilty about the fourth princess." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Originally, there were always some girls on TV, because they were very good to her, or saved her life, etc., so they made a personal promise." I couldn't understand at the time: you can pay back what you owe, why do you have to 'pay' yourself, what is the reason?

As a result, looking at it today, it turns out that not only girls will be like this, but even men will have this mentality? Princess Yongning's happy event turned into a bad thing is certainly sympathetic, but first, that incident is not your fault, and second, you also helped her avenge, you really don't owe her anything, right, what do you feel guilty about? ”

"First, I am also an old acquaintance with her, before this happened to her, if I was reckless about the consequences, I could actually destroy it, but because I was afraid of the consequences of doing so, I didn't do it, but let it happen.

That's not all, when things developed to the stage that I thought was appropriate at that time, I suddenly took action, promoted and used it from many aspects, and finally got Chen Hong and forced Empress Dowager Li to hand over the power of the court and return to the emperor.

At the end of the day, I sacrificed the lifelong happiness of an innocent girl for political reasons, so how can I say that I am not responsible? With such a big responsibility, what's so strange about me that I always feel guilty about her? ”

Liu Xin listened, but sneered: "Oh, because you feel that you have delayed her lifelong happiness, so you will make up for her in person now?" Ha, that's so reasonable, but I want to ask: do you think this is the happiness she deserves? ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "You still don't know something, if it weren't for me, in the original history, her situation would be worse than now, one of them." Second, what will happen to her in the future, I really can't guarantee it now, but judging from the current emperor's attitude, this matter may not be without a turn in the future, and I can try to find a way. Anyway, it can always be better than the original ending. ”

Gao Pragmatic's words were very sincere, and Liu Xin could feel it, so he didn't say anything more sarcastic, but was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, your words don't sound like prevarication, I'll believe it." But I'm still curious, what was her fate? ”

Gao pragmatic sighed: "Liang Bangrui died less than two months after he got married, and he didn't have a round with the fourth princess until he died. The fourth princess herself was accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in the palace, and finally died of depression, only twenty-eight years old, and the palace maid who collected the funeral for her when she died found that she was still perfect. ”

Liu Xin's face immediately became gloomy, a little silent, and said hatefully: "This family surnamed Liang is really innocent. After a pause, he said, "Such a poor person, no wonder you can't bear it." Even if I had changed, I would probably do the same thing as you...... In the future, I won't even see what happens between you and the fourth princess. ”

"Zhiting's side?"

Liu Xin raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?" It's your housework, what do you ask me to do? Didn't you say that Huang Du Tongyi directly advised you to take a concubine? Concubines can accept it, and even take the initiative to persuade you, what is a mere outer room now? ”

"The Outer Room?" Gao Shishi frowned.

"Or else? Can you still make the fourth princess open and open? Liu Xin rolled her eyes: "I said, don't be too inflated, even if the emperor has a hint, that hint must not make you think about how to take the princess into the house, and even 'marry' it is impossible to come back - the princess's wedding is called a lower marriage, it is a surrender, how can it be surrendered to a married man?" Even if the princess herself is remarried, it can't be.

As for the emperor's meaning, I think it should be just to let his sister have a psychological sustenance, and you are more or less better than others in the emperor's mind, plus ...... I heard that the fourth princess was interested in you a long time ago, and the emperor was also so-so when he saw this, so he pushed the boat down the river and it was a fulfillment - but that's all. ”33

Gao Shishi looked at her with interest, and pretended to be surprised: "I remember that you had just graduated from a normal college before you came to Daming, and you were still working as a trainee teacher, why do you seem to be quite good at this kind of emotional analysis?" ”

Liu Xin gave him a blank look: "So what?" Practice is not enough, theory is to make up, I have watched so many emotional dramas with my mother, can't I have some experience? Besides, I also studied educational psychology, although the main research direction is different, but the methodology is ...... You get the idea, right? ”

"Yo, that's a coincidence." Gao pragmatic smiled: "It seems that our majors finally have something in common." ”

Liu Xin was surprised: "How do you say this, don't you study economics and law?" ”

Gao Shishi smiled and spread his hands, "I studied law at the Police Academy, and criminal psychology is a compulsory course." ”

"Oh...... I see! Liu Xin suddenly realized: "I just said how can you always do bad things while still making people grateful to Dade, and you are using you crookedly?" ”

Now it was Gao Shishi's turn to roll his eyes: "Why do you have to understand the bad side?" It's fitting that I am a professional to analyze the conspiracies of certain people against me. I haven't been killed in so many years, is that a great credit to my profession? ”

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, made a helpless look, and shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, good, this is a good major." No wonder Guo Anyang said that you were too calculating, I'm afraid it wasn't because you always analyzed the motives of others for crimes? ”

Gao pragmatic and serious nonsense: "It's not just the analysis of criminal motives, there are many left, such as investigation and anti-reconnaissance psychological analysis, and so on." ”

"Come on, I'm not poor with you, tell me what you have to say about the joy of coming so happily - don't tell me it's because of Princess Yongning...... I was so tired that I couldn't go back to the palace. Liu Xin teased.

"Ahem......" Gao pragmatic said embarrassedly: "Of course not, I invited the princess over because Cheng Guogong told me that the emperor was noncommittal about me resigning from the knighthood, and I wanted to know what the emperor was thinking." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xin's eyes rolled, and she tilted her head slightly: "But if you ask the fourth princess about this matter, you're afraid that you're going to ask the wrong person, shouldn't you ask Chen Ju more?" ”

"But I don't dare to contact Chen Ju casually recently." Gao pragmatic said: "And with the emperor's shrewdness, I guess the fourth princess will definitely 'accidentally learn' something." ”

"yes, what about the result?" Liu Xin knew what he knew about Zhu Yijun, and asked with interest.

Gao pragmatic said: "As a result, the queen went to find the fourth princess early this morning, and deliberately mentioned one thing in the chat. The queen said that the emperor has been very dissatisfied with the performance of the household department recently, and even said several times in front of her that Shen Li should be allowed to change positions. What's more important is that the emperor originally said last night that he would stay in the Qianqing Palace to sleep, but he changed his hexagram, and went to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night to not say anything, and mentioned this stubble inexplicably. ”

When Gao pragmatic said this, he paused slightly, for fear that Liu Xin would not know the rules of the palace, and added: "You may not know that where the emperor goes to sleep every night, not only must he inform the queen, but he even needs to inform the queen mother of the two palaces." In other words, it was already so late, and it was reasonable for the emperor to change the place of bedtime temporarily, because it would disturb the rest of the queen mothers of the two palaces. ”

Liu Xin nodded, thinking about it: "In other words, the emperor actually deliberately leaked this news?" He is dissatisfied with the household department and wants to change Shen Li's position? What does this have to do with you? ”

Gao pragmatic said: "The relationship lies in the fact that Shen Li is a person from our practical school. If he is transferred, and it is at the moment when I have made a new great contribution to return to the DPRK, it should be unlikely that he will be demoted. Then Shen Carp has to occupy another pit, and this pit is not too bad. At the same time, the vacated position of the Hubu Shangshu is probably still for our real school. ”

Liu Xin's heart moved, and she was about to speak, but she seemed a little hesitant: "I remember that the time that you, the squire of the military department, has not been in office for a long time, should the emperor not be moved to let you go to the gap in the household book?"

Although judging from your ability to manage money, it is not surprising that the emperor has such thoughts, but ...... With your age and qualifications, you have been in the military department for less than three years, and you are suddenly promoted to the top of the book, aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the courtiers? ”

"That's what I thought about just now." Gao Pragmatic touched his chin and said, "It stands to reason that the imperial court has not stipulated how old you must be to be a scholar, but according to the usual practice, my qualifications are definitely not enough, there is no doubt about this." However, the current situation is very special, that is, I have a great merit on my back, but the court has always debated how to reward me.

In this case, it is generally only the emperor who can make the final decision. But the emperor's original intention was to give me a knighthood, he could actually ignore the voices of hundreds of officials and forcibly seal me, but I don't agree with it, if he is willing to respect my personal wishes, then he has to change his mind - since he is not knighted, then he will be promoted, right?

In this way, although my promotion seems to be too fast, after all, this time there is a great foundation, and the Ming Dynasty has been focusing on military merits since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it is not completely unreasonable. And in this way, Shen Yuanfu's side considers the lesser of two evils, and it is better to give me a household secretary than to give me a knighthood, maybe he will not be too opposed. ”

Liu Xin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Your analysis is also reasonable, the Yamen of the Household Department has been presided over by people from your real school for more than ten years, and it doesn't make much difference to Shen Shixing whether to give it to you or to someone else—of course, if you can give it to you, you will definitely not give it, after all, if you continue like this, I am afraid that you will threaten him." No, as you said, now that this great achievement is here, it is always unjustifiable for the court to delay its reward......"

Gao pragmatic said: "I'm not in a hurry if I don't go to be the head of the household, but now I actually want to know what position the emperor will transfer Shen Li." ”

Liu Xin is still a little inferior to Gao Pragmatic in terms of political sensitivity, and when she heard this, she asked: "Is this more important than whether you are a household secretary or not?" ”

Gao pragmatically nodded: "Of course." You can't just look at this from my personal point of view, the household department is originally the basic plate of our real school, as long as it is not replaced by someone from another faction in power, it is not so important whether I am in power or not. However, Shen Li was transferred as a scholar, and even if the emperor was not satisfied with his work in charge of the household department, it was unlikely that he would be demoted at present.

In this way, the position he transferred is important. If he is transferred to the yamen, which is already under the control of our Shixue School, then we will not reap any benefit from this matter, but if he is transferred to other Yamen, the momentum of our Shixue School will inevitably be higher. ”

Liu Xin came to her senses and asked, "Do you have any judgments or guesses?" ”
