Chapter 405: No Trace
After the Youshi Zhuya was on duty, the city of Beijing was still bustling and the market was prosperous.
Gao Xianning, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, came out of Hongwumen and rode a donkey to the southwest alone. He sent his slaves home.
Gao Xianning's family lived in the mansion that Emperor Taizong rewarded him, but he did not take this path when he returned home. He didn't want to go home today, but to go to the Qinhuai River near Jubaomen; Every ten days and half a month, he has to go there for a walk and take a look at the scenery along the way.
The jade shop quietly purchased by the King of Han is between Jubaomen and the Qinhuai River.
The jade shop was closed most of the time, and Gao Xianning might not be able to enter it once or twice a year. He usually walked this way frequently, for fear that someone would notice such strange details; Therefore, after Gao Xianning passed by Jade Street, he usually had to go to another place.
There is also a very famous place here, the drunken immortal building, one of the official brothel "Jinling Sixteenth Floor" opened by Emperor Taizu himself. Before Gao Xianning became an official, he often went in and out of the Qinglou restaurant; Now in Jingshi, from time to time to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower, that is a very common thing.
Between the poetry and the intoxication of the officialdom with the intrigue of the heart, Gao Xianning felt that the two were very incompatible. After he became an official, he had no mind of being a prostitute at all; went to the Drunken Immortal Tower, at first, it was indeed to cover up some kind of whereabouts.
But Gao Xianning met the top brand there called Fu Jinghong in the Drunken Immortal Building, and then every time he went to the Drunken Immortal Building, it became a willing thing.
Jingshi is worthy of being a place where the world's wealth gathers, and even the girls are more colorful than the local ones. After seeing Gao Xianning a few times, Fu Jinghong seemed to guess that he was an official, so she didn't recite poems to talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor did she inquire about Gao Xianning's official affairs at all; But he can always give Gao Xianning some comfort without a trace between words.
However, the empathetic, beautiful girl is the first-class celebrity of the Drunken Immortal Building, and the price is indeed not affordable for ordinary people. went too often, and even Gao Xianning felt shy......
Gao Xianning arrived at Dagongfang on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, went to a small courtyard and changed his official uniform first, and then crossed the bridge to Zuixian Tower. After all, if you go to prostitution, if you wear official uniforms, it is unseemly. He used to come here to change his clothes, and he noticed that someone had followed him, and then no one cared about it; Perhaps the spies found out about his strange behavior just for the sake of prostitution.
Gao Xianning continued to ride his horse and donkey, crossed Jade Street, and then prepared to go to the Drunken Immortal Building.
But he suddenly found that the jade shop was actually open today!
Gao Xianning tied the donkey to the bottom of the stairs and walked to the gate upstairs. He paced in and saw a big man in cloth sitting behind a cabinet, burying his head and "crackling" with his head "crackling". Gao Xianning and the big man have met many times, and the person from the Han Wangfu is called Chen Dazhu.
Chen Dazhui looked up, and his pupils immediately contracted slightly. Now that they don't even need tokens between them, Chen Dazhui asked directly: "Did you come by horse or car?" ”
Gao Xianning said: "The donkey to ride." ”
Chen Dazhui said: "Please wait in the study for a while, I will come when I go." He closed the door and walked out the back door.
Gao Xianning went to a study inside, picked up a feather duster and swept the chair a few times, and sat there waiting. After a while, Chen Dazhui returned to the study, rummaged through the shelves inside for a while, found a letter, and handed it over.
What was written on the letter was not the handwriting of King Han, but the handwriting of Gao Xianning's teacher Qi Tai!
Chen Dazhui said: "The investigation in Guizhou is very tight, I went to Guangxi first, and the Beijing division came by detour, which was delayed for a lot of days. This errand, I am not on the order of the King of Han, the prince went to Sichuan, but the deacon of the Governor's Mansion and the right chief of the Han Palace, Mr. Shi Li. ”
"Mr. Li?" Gao Xianning looked at Qi Tai's handwriting on the letter and asked casually.
Chen Dazhui said: "Li Changjue." ”
"Huh!" Gao Xianning immediately looked suddenly enlightened. Li Changjue is Gao Xianning's classmate and one of Qi Tai's students, but he has long since quit the field due to a serious illness.
Chen Dazhui glanced at him and said, "Before the prince led his troops north, he ordered the civil and military and eunuchs who stayed in the Han Palace's palace not to hide everything from Mr. Li. Mr. Li inquired in detail about the situation of some Jingshi, and thought that he could try to drive a wedge between Zhang Fu and the puppet emperor (Zhu Gaochi); Therefore, I was sent to Beijing to take a trip and find a few people to do things. ”
Gao Xianning nodded.
Chen Dazhui continued: "It is said that Xie Jin persuaded the first emperor to establish a prince and said 'good holy grandson'! In this way, if there are rumors that the puppet emperor can become the prince and the emperor, it all depends on having a good son who is loved by the first emperor, how does the puppet emperor feel? The Puppet Emperor is likely to be disgusted with his eldest son (Jungi)!
This kind of thing will make Empress Zhang uneasy, and Zhang Fu's eldest daughter has been crowned a concubine, second only to the queen. Empress Zhang will have a problem with Zhang Fu's family, and in the future, many unpredictable things may happen. ”
Gao Xianning interjected briefly: "Concubine Zhang Guifei is happy, the news that has just come out." ”
Chen Dazhui said: "Then Mr. Li's discord plan is more likely to work!" If Zhang Guifei gave birth to a son, and the puppet emperor hated the queen's son, the queen's status would be shaken. ”
Gao Xianning was silent in thought.
Chen Dazhui said with a smile: "There are many twists and turns in the stomach of literati, and Mr. Li can even figure out the heart of a woman!" Gao Shi's reading can you know what Mr. Li said about Empress Zhang? ”
Gao Xianning asked curiously, "How does Mr. judge?" ”
Chen Dazhui said: "Empress Zhang and the puppet emperor are grasshoppers on a rope, not only wanting to keep the imperial power of the puppet dynasty, but also fighting for their own power. If the two contradict each other, she can still put aside the big picture and pursue her own personal interests, as is the case with the woman. It is also said that the sage said, only women and villains are difficult to raise! ”
Gao Xianning was noncommittal, and muttered: "The meaning of 'Mr. Li' is to borrow the hand of Empress Zhang to provoke the trust of the puppet emperor and the Zhang Fu family? ”
"That's probably what it means." Chen Da Hammer said, he paused and asked, "Is there anyone in the court who wants to be rectified recently?" ”
Gao Xianning said: "Xie Jin and Guo Ming." Xie Jin has already gone to Annan, and Guo Ming is the father-in-law of King Han...... Guo Ming's eldest daughter, Concubine Guo, has not appeared since the puppet emperor ascended the throne, and is said to have been imprisoned in the East Palace. The reason for this is unknown, perhaps because the Guo family is the family of the Han king's father-in-law, or perhaps before and after the puppet emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Guo did something wrong. Now the imperial history of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China are staring at Guo Fu, wanting to seize the handle of impeachment and flatter the puppet emperor. ”
Chen Dazhui thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to take Xie Jin." Who is the popular speaker? ”
Gao Xianning replied fluently: "After Chen Ying was imprisoned, Geng Tong was extremely favored by the Criminal Division, he was not impeached if he caught anyone like Chen Ying, but there was no one who was impeached who was not unlucky." ”
Chen Dazhui nodded and said, "I will take the opportunity to write a letter of denunciation and put it at Geng Tong's door." reported that Xie Jin was full of complaints in Annan, and when he met people, he said that the emperor relied on his son to ascend the throne. ”
Gao Xianning said: "You have to be careful, I will help you in the court." He stood up, and suddenly said: "Xie Jin has too many lice on his body, suing him may not be effective, and denouncing Guo Ming can also be done." Although Guo Ming is the father-in-law of the King of Han, even if we don't do it, Guo Ming will be cleared sooner or later. If Guo Ming is reported, this matter will not be suspected of being the conspiracy of the Han Palace. ”
Chen Dazhui said with an embarrassed face: "Gao Shi read to do it?" ”
Gao Xianning nodded.
Chen Dazhui took out two pieces of paper and half a seal, one was a silver ticket and the other was a note, and he said: "The Han Wangfu has allocated some money for the Gao Waiter to spend on reading, please check the amount and sign it." This silver ticket is something opened by the Xu family's money bank, and Jingshi also has their money bank, and you can exchange it with the silver ticket and seal. ”
Gao Xianning picked up the pen and wrote his name, and bowed: "Thank you King Han on my behalf and say hello to Mr. Li." ”
Gao Xianning got a lot of money, and when he walked out of the jade shop, he thought about it and continued to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
The noise in the drunken fairy building is neither too loud nor deserted. When the red head card Fu Jinghong prepared a table of wine and food in the room, he accompanied Gao Xianning. She poured wine for Gao Xianning first, talked to him, and saw Gao Xianning's preoccupied appearance, so she stopped her mouth and walked behind the piano platform and played a pure song.
After a song, Fu Jinghong came back to pour wine, first looking for a topic and said: "It's not who spends money, and the concubine is willing to accompany someone to drink." The rebellious prince and the king of Han came to the Drunken Immortal Tower a few years ago, and shouted in public that he had money, oops, that scene was really embarrassing. ”
Gao Xianning heard her mention King Han, and her heart suddenly became nervous: Why did she suddenly mention King Han? Could it be that this woman was smart enough to see that she had something to do with the King of Han?
Gao Xianning observed Fu Jinghong for a while, feeling that he might be too nervous and too worried.
"Is it okay for the girl to be treated in the Drunken Immortal Building?" Gao Xianning smiled and groaned.
Fu Jinghong said: "Of course it's good, this place is like a concubine's home." ”
Gao Xianning asked in a low voice: "If there is one thing to choose for the girl, or to make the drunken fairy building fall down, or to make the girl Fu fall into the street and sing, how does the girl choose?" You can't fool me. ”
Fu Jinghong pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "If the concubine said that she was willing to live so miserably for the sake of the Drunken Immortal Building, what a false thing it would be!" Can Childe believe it? ”
Gao Xianning laughed when he heard this: "This is the place to appreciate the girl, the girl is a person of temperament, no matter when and where, she is not all acting on the spot." It's just that the value is really not low. ”
"If Childe wants someone else's heart, of course it's expensive." Fu Jinghong gently covered Zhu Hong's little mouth.
Gao Xianning said in a joking tone: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" ”
Fu Jinghong pursed his lips and said angrily: "When the son talks like this, people are going to be angry!" ”
Gao Xianning looked at her and smiled: "The advantage of a girl, in addition to being a person of temperament, your little mouth is also the most ecstatic. ”
