Chapter 1138: Gao Jun returns to Beijing
As mentioned in the recital, some of the problems in the Anxi Prefecture have actually been affected, whether they are true or not.
In view of the father-son relationship between Gao Xianxing and Gao Jun, most people prefer to believe that the things mentioned in the recital are still said lightly, but in fact they do not know how serious, and may have reached the point where they cannot be said.
After the crown prince Li Zhi returned from the Hot Spring Palace, he still didn't say anything about the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
It stands to reason that if there is a prince who has clearly and properly reflected the problems of the Imperial Protectorate, and in a fair consideration, the prince should also react - at least he should have an explanation for the expectant ministers, right?
For example, once again, personnel were sent to the Anxi Prefecture to verify, and even investigate.
Those ministers, who are old enough to be involved in accidents, guess the emperor's attitude on this matter, and they don't know the point.
The emperor, who has always been resolute in dealing with things, has been so slow to react in this matter.
When Gao Xianxing came to visit, Li Shixian, a waiter of the military department, was in his own mansion, but at this time, let him meet Gao Xianxing, how important it must be!
Gao Xianxing's actions were a bit unexpected by Li Shixian, and he couldn't get too close to Gao Xian at this time.
He took Xu Ang's letter to Gao Xianxing, which could only be regarded as an accidental act in the process of drinking, and there was no deep intention.
But in this way, the selection of the secretary of the military department is very delicate, even if Guo Zhizhao is still in the ranks of candidates, but Li Shichang believes that this person has no advantage compared with himself.
He also waited for Shang Shu to order Gao Jun to come back from Qianzhou, and to see Gao Jun's reaction after encountering this incident.
Gao Xianxing's recital actually beat Gao Jun lightly and lightly.
If there is a contest between the father and son, it will be something that Li Shiqian cannot ask for.
Gao Jun's career is too smooth and too arrogant, it is this person who has been so pressed that he can't move after he arrives in Chang'an, so let Gao Xianxing give it a try.
……
On the morning of February 18, Renchen Day, Shang Shu ordered Gao Jun and his wife to return to Chang'an.
When the second lady, Gao Yao, went to Xinglufang to visit her parents in the evening and brought the news over, Gao Xianxing was still a little nervous, and he didn't know how Gao Jun would be furious when he heard about it.
Gao Jun returned to Chang'an in the morning, and he didn't come to Xinglufang until the evening, which was already a little abnormal, and if it wasn't good, the people who were good with him had already spread the word about it.
Zhongshuzi is ready, in case Gao Jun attacks himself in the court, then he will never compromise.
It was already early in the morning, Shang Shuling appeared in people's eyes, he was as majestic as ever, majestic but not rigid, greeting every colleague he met during the waiting period, and walking in front of the high judge to salute.
Zhongshuzi slightly blamed the other party in public, and after returning to Chang'an, he couldn't just take a trip to the house to take a look.
Gao Jun said that because of fatigue all the way, he rested after returning home.
In a few polite words from both sides, Gao Xianxing could not see any overly obvious changes in Shang Shuling's attitude towards him.
But this doesn't mean anything, Gao Xianxing expects that the prince will not mention his recital today, and then look at Gao Jun's attitude, he will see it more realistically.
When Prince Li Zhi saw Gao Jun arrive, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
After the recital of Zhongshuzi was taken to the hot spring palace by him, the emperor just smiled after reading it, and he laughed that Xu Jingzong actually went to the gold mine again and gave a hand to the steward of a gold mine.
In addition, the emperor hinted to the crown prince to keep this recital in the middle, not to dispose of it, not to even mention it.
The crown prince felt a little embarrassed from the emperor's smile, Xu Jingzong had beaten him, and he was not pushed to the Zhongshu Province by him.
It is better to leave the minister's recital in the middle and use it well than to do something hastily.
The emperor said that this time the Gao Xianxing was in a hurry to go to Xizhou, and after he came back, he was in a hurry to get such a piece of music, and his intention must be outside the music, so why should we follow his wishes?
Treat the music coldly, so no matter what the cause and intention of the high trial is, it is always a warning to him, let him think about it, what is the weight of the Anxi Protectorate in the eyes of the Son of Heaven!
In the past, the former Xizhou Beijia Wang Da had such a whole thing, saying that after Guo Xiaoke took Yanqi, he used the gold and jade artifacts of Yanqi Wang, and in the end, it was not without evidence?
And today, the burden on Guo Xiaoke's shoulders is even heavier, how can he be compared to a sparring partner! As for Xu Jingzong, the matter of this outcast's bookkeeping, the high judge can say it, but the prince should not pay attention to it, he can't afford to lose that person.
At this time, the prince asked, "Harrier Guogong went to Qianzhou, I don't know what to gain?" ”
Gao Jun said, "Weichen is in Qianzhou, and I saw that the reclamation presided over by Zhongshuzi when he was in Qianzhou was very effective, and if the chief official did not have extraordinary perseverance and courage, this big project really could not be successful." ”
Shang Shuling's first sentence when he returned to the court was to praise the high trial first, which first surprised many people.
Shang Shuling said that the situation in Qianzhou, which has always had many mountains and few lands, was changed during the period when the middle concubine served as the assassin of Qianzhou, and the soldiers and people of Qianzhou all preached the virtues of Cui Ying, the wife of the assassin, and shared weal and woe with the people of Qianzhou.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, how could they talk about Thorn History, and then turned to Mrs. Thorn Shi.
Shang Shu ordered, "Even those old farmers said that the success of Lord Qianzhou Thorn Shi Gao is also half of the credit of Mrs. Thorn Shi. ”
Chu Suiliang answered, "What Shang Shuling said, Weichen has already heard of it, the wife of the middle concubine, Cui, has always been the standard in the world, and even the Weichen Neizi often imitates Mrs. Cui's every move, but it is still far away!" ”
Zhao Guogong also said, "Who says it's not, even His Majesty the Emperor has said more than once that he can win the world, and he also has half of the credit of Empress Wende...... However, we can't just talk about it, otherwise we will lose it. ”
Li Shiyun was looking forward to seeing the father-son pinching in his heart, it seemed that it was not easy to see, Shang Shuling came up and praised his Lao Tzu without hesitation, how can this be pinched?
actually turned to the wife of the middle concubine, Li Shichang was very disappointed.
Li Zhidao, "What Zhao Guogong said is reasonable, and the widow also thinks that it is time to commend Mrs. Cui, Harrier Guogong, can you tell me more in detail, what those old farmers said?" ”
Gao Jun said, "Your Highness must not have forgotten the silting of fourteen salt wells in Qianzhou last year,"
Li Zhidao, "How can the widow forget, Harrier Guogong, you can talk about it in detail." ”
"Weichen went to Qianzhou this time and found that some of the more low-lying salt wells had not been silted up in the heavy rain. Locals say that this is all because of the planting of trees around the salt well by Mrs. Cui. ”
Shang Shuling said that the land was widened, but it also made those hillside lands lose the protection of vegetation and become floating soil, which is easily impulsive under the rain. However, where Mrs. Choi planted the tree forest, there was no such problem, so even the salt well was preserved.
Shang Shuling said this sentence, and the middle concubine experienced first joy, then doubt, and then panic.
Gao Jun boasted and boasted, alluding to the drawbacks of Qianzhou's wasteland, but Gao Xianxing didn't have any good insertion points, so he defended himself twice.
The crown prince nodded, "It seems that this is the truth...... But what kind of title is Mrs. Cui? ”
Gao Shen Xing said, "It's a county gentleman." ”
The prince said, "How can this be! Zhongshuzi is a third grade, so Mrs. Cui should be the county gentleman, it is really the negligence of the widow, there is a division to improve this matter immediately, don't wait for the widow to ask again. ”
Li Zhi's words, the province immediately started to draft an edict in the name of the emperor who was recuperating in the hot spring palace, and another county lady was added to the high mansion of Xinglufang.
Li Shiyun said secretly, I'm really convinced! Could it be that the middle concubine's recital is not mentioned at all?
As soon as he thought about this, Shang Shuling said, "Your Highness, after Weichen returned to Chang'an, he learned that there were some things in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and he had to talk about it here. ”
Li Zhi was also a little surprised, because he didn't plan to mention the recital of the high trial line here, "What's the matter, Harrier Guogong, please tell me." ”
Gao Jun glanced at the middle concubine on the opposite side and found that his face changed slightly, "Before Weichen arrived in Chang'an, he received a letter from Mrs. Cui at home,"
The prince said, "Oh, Mrs. Cui's letter should have been sent to Xinglufang, but how could it be sent to Yongningfang?" ”
Gao Jun said, "It may be that Mrs. Cui knows that Zhongshuzi has just returned from Xizhou, but she doesn't know that she has not arrived in Chang'an, and she doesn't know that Weichen moved his family to Qianzhou, so she did this." ”
"So, what does Mrs. Cui's letter say?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked first.
Gao Jun said, "Mrs. Cui said that after the middle concubine returned to Beijing, most of the people who protected Guo Xiaoke became ill from hard work and even coughed up blood - this is what Mrs. Liu mentioned when she went to visit Mrs. Cui in Ranch Village. ”
The prince said, "Yes, a place as big as the Anxi Protectorate, inside and out, big and small, has to worry about Lord Guo, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to bear it!" ”
Shang Shu ordered, "What His Highness said is extremely true, but there is no Lord Guo there, where can we find a more suitable person for a while?" The British Gong Li Shiqian is suitable...... Go and be a deputy to Lord Guo, but Guo Zhizhao has already done a good job, so he doesn't have to move. ”
Li Shiyun is actually happy, is Gao Jun planning to promote himself to the head of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? That's really good, although it's a little farther away, but it's still a positive third product.
But after listening to the second half of his words, Li Shixian's nose was almost crooked, daring to love this is another mirror, purely funny! But what does this guy mean by playing with the high judges?
The prince had just expressed his concern about Guo Xiaoke's body, and Gao Jun, the Duke of Harrier, said, "It's okay, Weichen has always known about Lord Guo's body, and it is estimated that he is just a little sulking, coupled with fatigue, so that this is the case." ”
He said that he had sent the third lady Fan Ying and the family heirloom "Huang Lianzhu" to Anxi, and if Guo Daguo had internal injuries, then Huang Lianzhu would be cured as soon as he arrived.
went with Fan Ying, as well as Shang Shuling's second wife Xie Jinlian, she was a companion, and she took a look at Mrs. Cui by the way, and her daughter Tiantian.
Shang Shushi blamed himself, "Alas! They are all micro-ministers, and when they were in Xizhou, the government affairs were rough, and they left, leaving a big mess for Mr. Guo! ”
Gao Jun said that the appointment of Xie Guang, the manager of the gold mine, was decided by him in his appointment as the governor of Xizhou, and Xie Guang had no merit, so it stands to reason that he should not be allowed to take up this position.
But Xie Guang lived up to his expectations, and as soon as he went to the gold mine, he dug out the hidden gold stealing line hidden in the gold mine - a large group of people, including the former manager Chen Guojun, still have some ability.
The prince said, this is not a matter, don't mention it again.
Shang Shuling came to the end, and said, There is also the Tianshan Ranch, which was grasped by Wei Chen, and Lord Guo has always been unable to intervene. Most of the young herdsmen in the pastures are married, and many of them are not married. But to achieve great things, manpower comes first, which good person is willing to go there?
"In order to provide them with convenience, Weichen once said that only unmarried male and female shepherds can go to the mulberry forest after dark, and others are not allowed to go anyway, but is this a bit indulgent and immoral?"
The prince said, "Why! It's simply not indulgent at all, it's good. ”
Gao Jun: "In addition, regarding the setting of the grassroots town of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, this is also the ...... of Wechen"
Li Zhi said, "Harrier Guogong doesn't need to mention it again, how can the widow not know that you nodded too much?" ”
At this point, people have understood that all the wrongs mentioned by Gao Xianxing, the middle concubine, and the Anxi Protectorate, have been understated by Shangshu Ling Gao Jun.
He didn't speak out to defend Guo Xiaoke, in that case, there is no difference between accusing the high trial of making something out of nothing, how could the high trial not defend his own performance?
But Shang Shuling used this method to show that Lord Guo was innocent, and he did not involve Zhongshuzi - because Zhongshuzi was completely unaware of this.
There is no reason for the middle concubine to fight with the Harrier Guogong because of this.
Gao Xianxing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this is the best result. If at this time, if he really fought with Gao Jun in court because of the matter of the chapter, no matter how good he was or lost, it would not be good for himself and Gao Fu in the end.
It turned out that Gao Xianxing thought that the problems he mentioned and the problems of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate were great things, but Gao Jun took it on himself in public, and the prince didn't even have the time to listen to it.
However, Gao Xianxing heard Guo Xiaoke's illness from Gao Jun's mouth again, Mrs. Guo Zhizhao mentioned that Guo Xiaoke vomited blood at that time, and they all cried, but Gao Jun said that he was snorting blood today, and he believed that Gao Jun was talking lightly.
Otherwise, how could Gao Jun send his two wives, who had just returned to Chang'an from Qianzhou, and rushed to Xizhou without hesitation, and what treasures did they bring!
In short, the purpose of the high-level trial has been achieved, regardless of whether Guo Xiaoke and Cui Ying mentioned the matter in the letter, in short, his warning has had an effect.
