Chapter 176 Beating the dog to see the master, the scheming of the powerful ministers
Xiao Tang slapped and punished Gao Yanei in front of Pan Lou, and it quickly spread in Bianliang, Tokyo. While people praised Xiao Tang for not being afraid www.biquge.info of the power of the Gao family and speaking out for the people who suffered from the rampant unscrupulous behavior in the Gao Ya, some people were curious about the beating of their adopted son, and how to retaliate against the favored Gao Yu of the official family.
At this time, in the Gaofu compound, Gao Yu was having dinner with his family, and the table was full of fried quails with three fresh bamboo shoots, branded doves, and bright-colored shrimp mushrooms. Abalone snails wrapped in honey brisk, red silk crystal and other delicacies, Gao Yu moved his chopsticks to clip the quail meat and put it in his mouth to chew, and after a while, his expression immediately relaxed, and nodded unsatisfied.
It seems that because of the relationship between often bowing and kicking, Gao Yu is extremely well maintained, although his temples are white, but he also has a ruddy complexion, plus his willow eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and a long hair that beats his chest, but he has a bit of fairy wind bones.
Although Gao Yu is from a well-known background, he is well versed in the way of observing words and feelings, and meeting and pending. When Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was still the king of Duan, Gao Yu knew that his master was so vicious. He not only tries to cater to Zhao Ji when he bows, but also pays great attention to his appearance and dress on weekdays, otherwise how can he be favored by Zhao Ji and rise to prominence in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty as an idler?
At this moment, the housekeeper in Gao's mansion came and reported to Gao Yu: "Master... The eldest young master had already looked at Lang Zhong, but he was just crying, and said that he begged the master to call the shots and punish Xiao Tang for him......"
Gao Yu snorted coldly and said, "And let him cry, if he doesn't eat a meal, he won't starve to death." ”
After hearing this, Gao Yaofu angrily threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "But father... This beating of dogs still depends on the owner, then Xiao Tang slapped the high threshold, obviously not taking our Gao family in his eyes! Although Xiao Tang slapped that guy, why didn't he slap our Gao family in the face? ”
Gao Yu raised his eyelids, glanced at Gao Yaofu lightly, and said, "What are you beating dogs to see the master, this guy and that?" Anyway, he is also your brother, so he must not lose his dignity when he speaks. ”
That kind of thing that did all the ridiculous things in Jingshi, shameless and incompetent, is also worthy of my brother? Although Gao Yaofu scolded in his heart, he still said to Gao Yu respectfully: "What my father said is that the child has lost his words. ”
Gao Yu took another mouthful of food and chewed slowly, not at all annoyed by Xiao Tang slapping his adopted son in public, he said lightly: "The official family is an elegant person, he knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, kicking and playing, tasting bamboo and adjusting silk, playing singing and dancing, needless to say. That Xiao Tang...... Yu Qu is indeed a bit of a strange talent, otherwise the official family would not have made a big fanfare, and ordered Xiao Tang to move all his family music workshops to Jingshi. Before I didn't know the intentions of the officials, this Xiao Tang couldn't move. ”
Gao Yaoqing had anger in his eyes, and said after a silent half-sound: "But father, that Xiao Tang provoked our Gao family, but we were indifferent, didn't it make the Jingshi think that our Gao family was afraid of that Xiao Tang?" ”
Gao Yu's eyes froze, and then his face became a little angry, and he shouted to Gao Yaoqing: "How did you teach your father on weekdays?" In the struggle between the DPRK and China, what is the basis for gaining a foothold in the officialdom? Talented? Relying on power? Wrong! If you want to stand tall in the court, you can only figure out the holy will! As long as the official family likes it, it doesn't matter how you behave, but if you make the official family unhappy, it will be Xiao Tang riding on your head and urinating, and you will have to bear it!
What do the Jingshi think of our Gao family? It is that everyone in the world points to the backbone of our Gao family and scolds him, as long as we can get the holy favor, we can trample the people of the world under our feet! After losing some face, he is impatient to find his way back, what is the difference between that and the market splash that fights like cockfighting and dogfighting? ”
Gao Yaoqing's face was cloudy and uncertain after being trained by Gao Yu, and after even claiming that it was, Gao Yu continued: "What's more, you can do Yueyang Army Chengxuan, and Cai Xianggong has also made no less contributions." Now that Cai Xianggong is forbearant for a while, and intends to make this Xiao Tang ask for the favor of the official family, even if this Xiao Tang is reckless, Cai Xianggong's face cannot be withheld. After all, our Gao family, in the end, can not only rely on the grace of the official family to lead the Wu Mangfu, our Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over martial arts, only to lay the foundation of our Gao family with a civil and official career, is the right way. ”
Gao Yaoqing thought about it again and again, opened his mouth and said: "But Xiao Tang's behavior obviously didn't take our Gao family seriously. If he is really favored by the official family, won't he have to oppose his father and compete for the favor of the official family? ”
Gao Yu showed a contemptuous smile, and he said coldly: "Then since Xiao Tang is so loud and so uncontrollable, I really don't have to look at him in my eyes." The thoughts of the official family, how can a young boy like him understand it? If he wants to rectify himself, he has the means. What if you let him be domineering for a while? As everyone knows, the higher he is held, the harder he falls......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xiao Tang didn't have time to pay attention to Gao Yu's thoughts, he didn't take this powerful minister who was favored by Zhao Ji in his eyes, but with the opening of Jinfeng Yulu Lou Music Fang imminently, his mind should pay more attention to how to privately meet the supreme ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.
After inviting Xiao Jiasui to the mansion to live temporarily, Xiao Tang took advantage of his free time to visit Liang Zimei, the uncle of Liang Shijie, the left-behind minister of the Daimyo Mansion, who was only kind to the powerful ministers of the court, but was very favored by the officials, and the old fox who seemed to be alone only roughly asked Xiao Tang about the recent situation around the Daimyo's Mansion and even Hebei Road, and after encouraging Xiao Tang in a formal manner, he sent Xiao Tang back to the house. Like Liang Zimei, who is meticulous and has a very deep city, it is rare for a character to fall into the hands of political enemies, and it is difficult for Xiao Tang to get closer to him.
But for that Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Xiao Tang must now find ways to get closer to him.
Because not only Gao Yu, Xiao Tang also knew that if he wanted to make achievements in the officialdom, he had to make this emperor who had supreme power in the Great Song Dynasty pay attention to his existence, even if Zhao Ji was a complete faint monarch, but after all, the Great Song Dynasty at this time was still the shore of the land, and the minister of the land was not the king's minister, and the Zhao royal family was the world, and Zhao Ji was the orthodox society that commanded the world.
It is true that the grass and green forest occupy a hill and only want to be at ease and happy with grievances, but since Xiao Tang now has the intention to start from within the imperial court, he cannot ignore the absolute dominance of the Song family over the scholars and the common people. Xiao Tang carefully recalled every word and deed he wrote into the history books for Zhao Ji in his memory, even if it was an inconsequential trivial matter of life, Xiao Tang had to carefully analyze his temperament, preferences, and personality from all the deeds about Zhao Ji contained in the history books......
Even if this Zhao Ji is one of the few and unknown examples of faint monarchs in the dynasties of Chinese history, the so-called faint monarchs are either misguided by their own growth environment, or because of their own preferences, or because of the general trend, and they are directly scolded by later generations, but it does not mean that they are idiots and imbeciles at the mercy of powerful ministers. This Zhao Ji is the best example.
Even if Cai Jing, the traitor through the ages, is good at power and art, no matter how old and ghostly he is, every time he rises and falls, it is because of the changes in Song Huizong Zhao Ji's mind about him. On the one hand, Zhao Ji is inseparable from Cai Jing, who is very good at doing what he likes, but on the other hand, he also wakes up Cai Jing from time to time: I am your master, and whether you Cai Jing is honor or disgrace is all given to you by me, you must not forget this.
In addition, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong once treated Wang Huang, one of the six thieves, very kindly, and called that Wang Huang as the third duke and the position of Yuan Zai, but later Wang Huang was arrogant enough to interfere with the family history of the Zhao royal family and shake the status of the prince of the East Palace. Zheng Juzhong, another powerful minister who had met with Xiao Tang, thought that he would be able to become the prime minister when Cai Jing temporarily lost power, but after Zhao Ji found out, not only did the prime minister not do it, but instead removed him from his position as a privy councillor and demoted him to a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace......
There are many such deeds, on the one hand, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong seems to be easy-going, nepotism depends on your likes and dislikes, on the other hand, he is suspicious of the powerful ministers who rise and fall in the court, and when the ministers are cheated, they are just chess pieces in his hands in the end, so how can this scheming faint monarch reassure him, and how can he win the greatest power from his hands? After Xiao Tang thought about it repeatedly, he finally made up his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
