At this time, this Taizhu said to the fifth brother with a heartfelt heart, "In fact, from the younger brother's point of view, it is indeed not suitable for the fifth brother to join Chang'an, especially the prince's East Palace." ”

Gao Xianxing knew that the sixth brother, who had always refused to explain his claims, must have also been bought by Gao Jun. He went to worship his father, and after a little more talking, he came out of the meridian valley.

When he returned to the city from Mingde Gate, he gritted his teeth and came to Yongning Fang.

The tall mansion of Yongning Fang shows that the status here is different from that of other places, and in the eyes of the high trial bank, the Harrier Mansion is more magnificent than Xinglufang.

But that didn't stop him.

He wants to ask the truth, at least let Gao Jun know his wishes: the prince's right concubine is an official of the prince's East Palace, not his Shangshuling and Harrier Guogong.

Gao Jun didn't want to have a Lao Tzu dangling in front of him in front of him in the court every day, and Gao Xianxing also understood, but he couldn't stop the promotion of a thorn historian because of this.

Yongningfang came out to greet the high judge, and he was a manager who didn't know how many people were outside.

When the Harrier Guogong family left the house in a hurry, no one told him anything, so he shouldn't hide it from the adults from Qianzhou.

Gao Jun is not there, Liu Yuru and others are not there, and even the housekeeper Gao Bai is not there.

When the senior judge asked, the steward said that Harrier Guogong, several ladies, and the housekeeper's family had gone to the Great Ci'en Temple.

The senior trial line chased after him non-stop, and he had to ask for clarification. In the eyes of others, it can be said that it is the heart of Qianzhou Thorn Shi Sizi, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

The Great Mercy and Grace Temple was not called this name before, it was called Jingjue Temple, and the scale was much smaller.

But in the twentieth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Zhi ordered the expansion of this temple in order to remember his biological mother, Empress Wende, pray for blessings, and repay his mother's kindness.

By October of this year, the 13 courtyards and more than 1,800 houses in the temple have been repaired and renovated, with aragonite, pearl and jade, and danqing, mattresses and utensils, and there is no shortage of everything.

Li Zhi also obeyed the edict of Emperor Zhenguan, on the basis of the original monks in the temple, added 300 monks, invited 50 Dade monks to stay, and officially gave the new temple the name of "Great Mercy and Grace Temple".

In December, the newly built "Translation of the Scriptures" was finally completed, and Master Xuanzang, who returned from studying scriptures in the Western Regions, was also ordered to translate the scriptures in the Great Ci'en Temple, and served as the presiding officer of the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City.

Every part of the temple is brand new, and there are no cobwebs, dust, low tides and rat bites that are common in the corners of old temples.

The mother of the new upstart of the Tang Dynasty, Shang Shuling and Harrier Guogong, is simply perfect for practicing here.

The stay of Qing Ruoying, the old lady of Gaofu, can only be said to be a major event that is the icing on the cake of the Great Ci'en Temple.

Even the well-known, forty-six-year-old Grand Master Xuanzang thinks so, and it is worth it to give up a "thirteenth courtyard" in the southeast of the temple alone.

The thirteenth courtyard is the smallest in the middle of the thirteen annexes, but there are nearly thirty rooms, where you can climb the stone pavilion on the rockery in the courtyard, and you can see the scenery on the Qujiang Pond through the partition wall.

This place was originally prepared by Xuanzang for himself, but Shang Shuling ordered the ladies of the country in the mansion to come over for his mother-in-law's practice place, and donated a large amount of dizzying incense money, Xuanzang thought that he should give up this place.

……

When the Qianzhou Assassin Shi Gao Xing hurried over, the time was almost Shenshi, and he saw that pilgrims were rubbing shoulders one after another, and there was a lively scene in the square, and people gathered there.

Gao Xianxing thought that if Gao Jun and his wife came out, they could always see it here at once, and when it came here, Gao Xianxing thought that he hadn't even thought about his words carefully, and he walked over with the pilgrims.

On a three-foot-high wooden platform that was temporarily erected, there was a bearded and medium-sized head, who was said to be a disciple who had followed Master Xuanzang to the Western Regions.

He had just finished playing with a big shovel, wiped his sweat and said, "Offering ugliness", because the big shovel was newly opened at noon, and he had to be extra careful, so he held the big shovel and said to the pilgrims:

"I didn't say anything, if you don't believe in the ranking, please see!"

Gao Xianxing stretched his neck to look, and sure enough, there was a shiny new mark on the blade of his shovel.

A pilgrim asked, "Master, I heard that your shovel can open mountains and rocks and is extremely hard, how can you say that you can open a new blade in the middle of the day, is this shovel made of tofu?" ”

Tou Tuo said, "This is true, when the harrier and the ladies of the country came, they saw that my shovel was so dull that they could 'brush' me with his black knife, and it was really like cutting tofu, and the blade became like this." ”

Gao Xianxing confirmed from his words that Gao Jun and Liu Yuru were indeed here.

Tou Tuo said to everyone, "Today, your lord is staying in the Great Ci'en Temple, so Master allowed me to play some juggling for the rank to celebrate, and I am ugly!" ”

Someone asked, "What is your lord who came to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple?" ”

The man said, "The people who came to us to stay and practice for a long time are the biological mother of the Harrier Guogong, Mrs. Qing Ruoying, and the side room of Lord Qianzhou Thorn Shi Gao, Mrs. Liu, who lived in the thirteenth courtyard. ”

There was a "buzz" in Gao Xianxing's head, and he didn't listen to anything next.

It turned out that Gao Junju came here to settle Qing Ruoying and Liu Qingping, and they all quietly arrived in Chang'an.

In this way, after Su Yin and Lilan came back, they told Yongning Fang everything, and when they met in Xinglufang, Liu Yuru and the others pretended to be confused.

Gao Xianxing immediately had no owner, and he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to chase him to the Great Ci'en Temple. He concluded that Gao Jun must have known what Qing Ruoying said to persuade Liu Qingping in Qianzhou.

Everyone asked, "Why didn't Master Xuanzang show up today?" ”

Tou Tuo said, my master is accompanying the Guogong family.

I don't know when, the history of Qianzhou Thorn is no longer outside the crowd.

He rode back to Xinglufang, and forgot to answer when the people greeted him, and went back to his yard to sit down, feeling that there was no root in his chest at all, and a gust of wind could blow his heart away.

Liu Yuru looked ignorant when she mentioned Qing Ruoying, and the more she pretended not to know, the more it meant that they knew everything.

He secretly hated that he didn't hold back when he was in Qianzhou, if he had always insisted that Qing Ruoying and Liu Qingping were Yunyou, there would be no embarrassment today.

If Gao Mansion loses the Harrier Guogong and only Gao Cheng is left with a group of brothers, then Gao Mansion will only be regarded as the descendants of meritorious heroes and assassins at best, and the weight will be significantly lighter immediately.

So Gao Jun is not in a hurry to see himself, what else is there to say! What Qing Ruoying said in person, and her move to expel her out of the house in anger, didn't it make it clear that she had no kinship with Gao Jun at all?

Gao Xianxing thought dejectedly, don't think about any princes, it's good to be re-elected as the Qianzhou assassin in a stable manner.

He felt that he had withdrawn from the Great Ci'en Temple and did not find Gao Jun Liu Yuru to go in person, and he was doing the right thing for the time being. Otherwise, what would you say in front of Qing Ruoying? There was no room for the last manoeuvre between them.

At the dinner, Gao Xianxing was still sitting paralyzed in the room, bored.

The subordinates came over to invite him several times, but he didn't bother to move. The last time, the subordinates replied that the Harrier Guogong had come to Xinglufang to meet Lord Thorn Shi, and Gao Xianxing sat up at once.

"Shang Shuling...... What did he say? ”

The subordinate replied, "Master, how can Shang Shuling say anything to the villain, but as soon as the villain heard Shang Shuling enter the mansion, he asked where the master was, as if he was anxious to meet." ”

Qianzhou Thorn Shi walked to the central hall without roots, and saw that the people in the mansion were there. People didn't deliberately but unconsciously put Gao Jun in the middle, and Gao Xianxing saw him as soon as he stepped through the door.

Gao Jun got up and saluted Gao Xian, "My lord, I've been busy all day, and I'm just here at this time." ”

Gao Xianxing said lightly, "That's natural, you have to worry about everything when your position is high, how can you not be busy!" I didn't see you when I went to the ministry today. ”

Gao Jun said, "I went to Ziwuyu to see the sixth uncle, it stands to reason that the official Ding has been worried for three years, but there are also one year, for example, Lord Chu is one year." ”

Gao Xianxing sat down and asked, "What are your plans?" Do you want your sixth uncle to come out a year early to perform his duties? ”

Gao Jun said, "That's exactly what I think, it's almost the end of the year, and all kinds of ceremonies are held at this time, and it's indispensable." ”

Gao Xianxing saw Gao Qi of the fourth brother's family, he is now a high-ranking Dianshan Cheng, and after such a while, Gao Qi has already looked at him a few times, so he said to Gao Jun,

"Your fourth brother Gao Qi's father, who is also the fourth brother of this official, can't write two high characters in one stroke, we secretly said in the mansion that his identity is too much worse than you...... Do you think it's good-looking? ”

No one could have imagined that the father and son would talk about it as soon as they met.

Gao Jun stood up, bowed and said, "What my father said is very true, and Yuru has told me about this more than once, but it is just ...... The child has just been promoted to the third brother, and he must also be foiled by the twenty-six county orders of Shannan Province so as not to be abrupt. ”

Shang Shuling looked at the history of the Qianzhou assassin, and saw that he was listening carefully, so he said again, "I also have concerns about the fourth brother so soon......

The high-level judge said, "What's so difficult about this? There are some things that you don't have to say in person, Hao Chujun is your grandfather's old friend, why don't you have a talk to him? ”

Gao Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Father, how can I know if you don't come to Chang'an!" But I don't know what position the fourth brother intends to be? ”

Gao Qi continued, "Brother, my brother has no lofty ambitions, but at my age, no matter what ministry I do, as long as I am a seven-rank minister, it will be a good thing." Otherwise, people will say behind my back, I'm still an eight-grade person, it's not good to say. ”

Gao Jun was expressionless and said, "Okay, I can say a word to Lord Hao, fourth brother, you don't need to be transferred, see if there is a position such as a direct director in the Shangshi Bureau." ”

"Wow! Straight and long, it's a seven-grade upper level! Thanks brother for the promotion! ”

Shang Shuling said with a smile, "Thank you for what I did, didn't my father say that this matter needs to be taken care of by Hao Shilang, you just need to thank Lord Hao." ”

Gao Qi and his wife Wang, together with the fourth elder Gao Zhenxing, secretly sighed, why worry about a small position if there is a eunuch in the family? Gao Jun's words, the matter is more than half completed.

Gao Xianxing also had a light on his face, and it seemed that Gao Jun still cared about his opinions.

He paused and asked tentatively, "What have you been busy with lately?" I heard about it...... The Great Ci'en Temple opened a translation field this month, and it is one of the three major translation fields in Chang'an. ”

Shang Shuling looked at the history of the assassin and couldn't guess why he jumped to this aspect all of a sudden, so he said, "Last month, His Majesty the Emperor personally held a grand ceremony for Master Xuanzang to enter the temple and ascend to the throne, which was unprecedented. ”

He added, "In the afternoon, Liu Yuru and Xie Jinlian had to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to make incense, saying that they wanted to pray for their mother and bless her with their eyes. I also went with it, and sure enough, the weather was myriad, and there was no other place in Chang'an City to compare. ”

Let's stop in moderation, Gao Shen Xingxing thought, with this kid's understanding, if he dares to ask "Great Mercy and Grace Temple" again, it is no different from picking out everything.

After these words, Gao Zhenxing also saw it: as soon as Gao Jun met, he didn't ask about Qing Ruoying's body like other people in the mansion, and he didn't ask a word. In the morning, Liu Yuru pretended to ask when she came.

This is what both sides know and tacitly understand.

However, Gao Xianxing was very satisfied with the state of both parties at this time, and it seemed that Harrier Guogong was also very concerned about the high gate of Gaofu. He can have such a prominent identity and status now, which is also based on Xinglufang.

Qianzhou Thorn Shi snorted secretly in his heart, and no longer tempted.

From Gao Qi's easy promotion, he saw Shang Shuling's concerns.

Then, judging from Gao Jun's concerns, it is at least impossible for Gao Jun to stand up against the matter of being the prince's concubine.

……

When Gao Jun rode back to Yongningfang, the ladies in the house were discussing the first presiding officer of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

Xie Jinlian said, "Unexpectedly, Master Xuanzang is such a polite person, I heard that he went to the Western Regions to learn scriptures, walked in the wind and sand all the year round, and sometimes didn't even have a place to stay, how can he still be so thin and tender?" ”

Li Lan said, "He said that he is forty-six years old this year, how come it seems to me that he is several years younger than Gao Xianxing!" ”

Liu Yuru stopped and said, "Sister Lilan, what nonsense are you talking about?" The high trial line is also screaming by you! Let the next people hear something like! ”

After Lilan and Su Yin came back from Qianzhou, these women in Yongning Fang finally knew what they had not known all along.

Only this one news made them completely separate Yongning Fang and Xinglu Fang from their moods.

Lilan said this unintentionally, but was severely scolded by Liu Yuru. In the past, Liu Yuru would only speak to Xie Jinlian in a true and false manner.

Lilan was a little embarrassed, because Liu Yuru was right, it was extremely inappropriate to call the name of "father-in-law" directly like this, so that people could hear it.

When they saw Gao Jun returning from Xinglufang with a silent expression, Liu Yuru asked in a low voice, "High trial...... Did he say anything? ”

Shang Shu ordered, "I guess he also went to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in the afternoon." ”

Everyone exclaimed, "How come?!" He rushed back to Chang'an, there were always a lot of official things to do, how could he also think of going there, and it happened to be in time for us to send the old lady and Liu Qingping over? ”

Shang Shuling said, "That is, where the news has been revealed, who will it be." ”

Cui Yan said, "We don't care about him, he doesn't dare to find out, but he has plans to dare not find out." ”

Shang Shu ordered, "What can he plan!" In fact, I have already seen it, because just now in Xinglufang, Lord Assassin Shi bluntly asked for an official for the fourth brother. Alas! How good is that! ”

Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, and Gao Xianxing ran all the way back from Qianzhou, not just to fight for Gao Qi for a position as a direct chief of the seventh grade.
