Chapter 858: The Face of a Politician (Part I)

The winter moon has come to the end of the month, and although the temperature is dropping, the wind and snow have completely stopped, which makes Tokyo Bianliang revitalize and become lively.

It was only half a month before the battle to suppress the bandits in Sanssouci Cave, but people have slowly forgotten about it, and only when some soldiers carried the corpses scattered all over the waterway to the ground, it attracted a lot of attention and discussion, but that's all.

For the people of Tokyo, everything that happened before was just a passing moment, as long as it had nothing to do with their own family, it was just a matter of talking about it after dinner. As for how the imperial court handled the follow-up matters, it was not in their consideration. People are just living the life they want to live, continuing the flower-filled and fiery cooking that has been going on for years......

As the most famous restaurant in Tokyo, Fan Lou is the perfect presentation of people's habits, even if the weather is cold, the north wind is howling, Fan Lou is singing every night, and the guests are like clouds. As long as you enter it, as long as you have enough money to spend, then all your needs and desires will be satisfied.

However, tonight's Fan Lou is slightly different from the past, originally several paths behind the Huan Gate are full of happy guests, but at this time, there is a path that has been guarded, and other guests are not allowed to approach at all.

When it was completely dark, a few carriages arrived one after another, and then they were led directly into the path, so that the surrounding pleasure seekers could not see the appearance of the comer, the only thing that can be guessed is that the identity of these people must be quite noble, and outsiders must not know that they have been to Fanlou.

It wasn't until the carriage came to a secluded courtyard that it stopped one after another, and then, out of it, came six or seven dignified men, all of whom were not young, and the eldest one was already gray, and they all had the old state of a dragon bell.

These people are the right-hand men around the prince, and they are all officials of the East Palace. At this time, they had both expectation and a little hesitation, but at the invitation of the leading servant, they quickly entered the small courtyard, and entered the room, entering a small hall with a very elegant style and the constant sound of silk and bamboo.

In this hall, not only do I not know what means to use to make the inside warm as spring, but there are also twenty or thirty young women who are all of the best posture and posture are singing and dancing lightly, which is really tempting. Even though these officials have always prided themselves on their integrity, as soon as they entered such an environment and saw such a scene, they lost their minds for a short time, and it was not until the old man at the head coughed low that they calmed down and focused their attention on the tall and thin man who was already sitting on the main seat: "Captain Gao came so early." ”

"Hehe, since I invited you to come to the gathering, you should be the first to come." Gao Yu stood up with a smile and clenched his fists: "Everyone has worked hard all the way here, so please sit down and drink a glass of water and wine to warm up." As he spoke, a few more beauties came in with trays and put a piece of exquisite wine and food on top of several cases in the hall.

Since a few people came at the appointment, they didn't say anything more, and they sat down according to their identities at the moment. Some people looked at Gao Yu with thoughtful eyes, but some people had already glanced at the beauties on the side out of the corner of their eyes.

Gao Yu saw it in his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up again, and he clapped his hands again and said: "You can serve all the ministers and ministers, be careful, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

Those women agreed delicately at the moment, and then a few people stepped forward lightly, and came to those officials with a shy, flattering face, sifting wine and cloth dishes for them, singing and swallowing, and gentle, which was really unbearable. Even beside Gao Yu himself, there was a woman waiting for him to drink at this time, but unlike the somewhat stiff performance of others, Gao Taiwei seemed quite calm, and even the action of gently kneading one hand between the other party's waist seemed so natural.

It wasn't until the old man coughed again and slightly pushed away the beauties who were completely about to lean on his body that the officials who were about to be invaded by the wine and couldn't resist it did they calm down a little. The former took a sip of wine and said: "Gao Taiwei is too elevated to me, and I can't afford to be called a public servant." In the Great Song Dynasty, the title of Xianggong initially referred to important officials such as Zaizhi, but it was later slightly relaxed, as long as the authority in the hands was sufficient, or the officials who had the power of a place could be so respected. But obviously, the identities of these East Palace subordinates are far from enough to be called a public servant.

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Ren Lao is too modest." Although it is true that you are not well-known in the court now, you are all important ministers around the prince, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the political hall one day. ”

Thousands of people don't wear sycophants, not to mention that this is a flattery from Gao Taiwei, which naturally makes everyone's hearts feel more comfortable. Although they and Gao Yu have always been on opposite sides, and recently they have formed a feud because of the prince's affairs, but since they came to the banquet today, they still need to have a friendly attitude, so several people humbly thanked a few words, which also made the atmosphere at the banquet more and more harmonious.

After gossiping and going around in a lot of circles, some people finally couldn't bear it anymore and got to the point: "Captain Gao invited me to the banquet today and didn't just want to talk and laugh, right?" ”

"Hehe, you guys are really straightforward, and even so, I won't go around in circles. We are all in trouble now, so I think we can talk openly and honestly and work together to get through this hurdle? Gao Yu said and swept over everyone, but in the end his eyes fell on the old man, he knew very well that these people were all looking forward to their horses, although this Ren Shu did not have much real power in the court, but he was deeply trusted by the prince, and he could be regarded as the prince's literary and courageous brain.

Ren Shu looked at Gao Yu with a smile: "Why did Taiwei Gao say this?" Your current troublesome old man has heard of it, it is said that the noble son has done many unrighteous things outside, and has left a lot of evidence, once it is made public, I am afraid that he will be severely punished. And Tai Lieutenant, you have intervened many times before, and once you sit down, you will not be lightly punished. But I've always been able to sit upright, so where is the fault and trouble? ”

"Elder Ren, don't talk in secret in front of a bright person, now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, and there are countless people who impeach the prince, aren't you worried that years of hard work will come to naught?" Gao Yu narrowed his eyes, although he was still smiling, but it made people feel a hint of threat: "I am suitable to call you to wait for a match, just because you and others are likely to have the merit of following the dragon." But if the crown prince is deposed for sin, can you still rise to such a high position? I'm afraid that at that time, you can keep your current official body, and you will be lucky not to be implicated by the prince.

"Yes, my son does do a lot of stubborn deeds, and he is really a little unlucky, but it is not too difficult for me to protect him. As for me Gao Yu myself, I have been by the side of the official family all these years, and I am deeply convinced, and I am confident that it is not something that can hurt my muscles and bones in a few life lawsuits. But the prince is in danger, once the official family really makes him suspicious, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe. ”

These words hit their weakness, to be honest, these days, whether it is Ren Shu or others, there is a feeling of being uneasy and living like a year. Almost every day, they can learn that many people have impeached Wei Daozhang and others, and by the way, they have also included the crown prince, and they are really worried that when the emperor will depose the prince in anger.

Even if Di Huchen later got the criminal evidence that he could drag Gao Yu into the water, they still felt that things were not optimistic. After all, based on this case alone, I am afraid that it is difficult to convince His Majesty that the prince is innocent, not to mention that the other party was not fooled, and did not send anyone to Di Mansion to rob people and physical evidence, so Sun Tu's plan for them fell through.

Seeing their faces change for a while, as if they were hesitating, Gao Yu struck while the iron was hot and said: "Everyone, in fact, I Gao Yu has never had any contradiction with you, and even I have a heart for the prince, as long as the prince sees me, I also hope to do my part for the prince." Nowadays, although there are many slanderous remarks against the crown prince in the DPRK, I think that all of them are untrue, as long as you can trust me to be high-minded, I will think of ways to help you settle this matter. At that time, the crown prince will be safe and sound, and you will have a bright future in the future, and it will not be difficult for him to enter the Privy Council of the Government Hall one day and become a real minister. As for me, I just want to keep my son, and you are all fathers, hot grandfathers, can't you understand the thoughts of a father? ”

Gao Yu's words were really sincere, both soft and hard. not only pointed out the interests of both parties, but also showed his own attitude, and he had the meaning of befriending them and becoming the prince's help. This time, don't talk about others, even Ren Shudu has already begun to move.

You must know that the prince is in such a difficult situation today, in the final analysis, it is because there is no relationship between the court and the court with the support of a powerful person, otherwise he would not have thought of borrowing Sun Tu in order to gain a good reputation. And now, Gao Yu actually deliberately leaned over, and the bargaining chips were too big for them to refuse.

As for Gao Yu's bad reputation among the government and the opposition, Gao Ya's many injustices and the crime of killing countless innocent women have become a secondary thing in the eyes of these people, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

In the final analysis, the people around these princes are a group of opportunistic politicians, and in their eyes there is no difference between good and evil, and there are only pros and cons. Even if they knew that Gao Yanei had killed dozens of good girls, they also had evidence in their hands, but they didn't take it to heart. There is only one thing they have to consider now, that is, whether Gao Yu's statement can be believed!
