Liu Yuru was even worried that Gao Bai's secret operations in Qianzhou had been discovered by the Gao Xianxing, and he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Otherwise, why didn't Gao Bai, Ju'er, and Xuelian have any news at all?

At noon, Xinglufang sent the news of the arrival of the Gao Shen Xing in Beijing, Yongning Fang is a generation worse than Xinglufang, although Gao Jun is the only prince of the two high mansions, but no matter how big the radish is, it stands in the depression, and it is rude to go late here.

No matter how unwilling Liu Yuru and the others are, they have to leave immediately, and the four young princes wearing open crotch pants also have to take them, otherwise their grandfathers will come back from afar to see what is coming?

The eight young ladies of Yongning Fang, and the personal maids of each of them, the four sons, and their respective caretakers, coachmen, and guards, a total of no less than fifty people, snorted and poured into Xinglufang at once.

Gao Xianxing saw that there was nothing he wanted to see the most, and Shang Shuling did not come.

Liu Yuru stepped forward to greet her and asked, "My lord, I wonder if my mother is here with me?" ”

Gao Xianxing glanced at Liu Yuru, since Xizhou, Gao Xianxing found that she had not changed much, her face was the same as before, more like a duchess of the country.

The woman's face looked like she didn't know anything about Qianzhou, and the others, even Su Yin and Lilan, also looked at him with Liu Yuru's words, as if they wanted to listen to his answer.

Thorn Shi was relieved and replied, "The term of office in Qianzhou is coming soon, this official is going back to Beijing to report on what to take them to do, if it is possible to move, this official will return to Qianzhou to hand over official business, and rush to the new office, wouldn't it be tossing back and forth with them." ”

Liu Yuru asked, "So...... Is my mother okay in Qianzhou? Have you ever had a recurrence of eye disease? ”

"What can she do!" ”

In order to prevent them from asking about Qianzhou again, Gao Xianxing set his eyes on the four children, and the four full-time servants hugged the children one by one in front of Gao Xianxing, and they inevitably teased and praised them.

Liu Yuru and others took the opportunity to break away and chatted with the ladies of Xinglufang.

The officials in the mansion have come back one after another, and Gao Jun should also return to Yongningfang at this time. Gao Xianxing secretly thought, it won't be long before this bullish harrier Guogong should come over to see me.

Gao Cheng, Gao Zhixing, Gao Chunxing, and Gao Zhenxing were very happy to see the fifth brother, and after briefly asking him about the purpose of returning to Chang'an, they actually asked Qing Ruoying invariably. was also covered up by the high court in accordance with the previous law and lightly covered up the past.

According to the rules of the ministry, it is not mandatory for foreign officials to return to Beijing to report on their work. Otherwise, at the end of the year, all the officials from all sides will flock to Chang'an, and the local government will not be chaotic?

However, if these feudal officials can settle down the official affairs of the province and avoid any mistakes due to their departure, the emperor will not wave his hand and immediately drive away the assassins and governors who came to report on their work.

In addition, anyone who dares to take the initiative to come here will have a weight in their hearts - you have to do a good job in the local area, and Gao Xianxing thinks that he is in this ranks.

Otherwise, the place will be a mess, and the gourd will be scooped up, and even if the supervisor tries his best to cover his head and hide, he is still afraid of falling into the eyes of the emperor and the officials.

After Gao Jun was promoted to Shangshuling, he became the Duke of Harrier Country soon after, and Gao Xianxing was surprised, and his plan to return to Beijing was as strong as one day. He felt that this was an opportunity when his term was coming to an end.

Shang Shuling is in charge of hundreds of officials, and the ceremonial punishment is enduring, who dares not to arrange a good errand for Shang Shuling's Lao Tzu!?

After a while, Gao Qi came back, he saw that the fifth uncle was very affectionate, and after chatting for a few words, he said to Gao Xian truthfully and falsely, "Fifth uncle, don't you know, the officials in the court have been promoted recently, like weeds, and the third brother has been promoted to the Linjing County Order, and I am still a pawn!" ”

Gao Qi's words can only be said when the younger generation jokes with the elders, but he also expresses his dissatisfaction from the side - the northern five herds used hundreds of officials at once, and Shannan Province appointed twenty or thirty county commanders at once, but Gao Jun did not take care of Gao Qi, the fourth brother.

The people in the mansion smiled and looked at Gao Shenxing to see what he meant.

Gao Xianxing comforted, "You kid, Shang Shuling is the first Zaifu of the dynasty, and he has eight eyes on every move, we are a family, how can we make trouble for him again?" ”

Gao Qi smiled awkwardly, and Gao Xianxing said again, "When he comes back, I'll mention you to him, but don't talk too much outside!" ”

Gao Qi was full of joy and hurriedly agreed.

But Gao Qi's wife, Wang, answered with a smile, "You, how can you tell the fifth uncle about this kind of thing, the fifth uncle has always been famous for being an upright assassin in Qianzhou, how can he give you favoritism!" It's better to ask for a jade. ”

The third Gao Zheng's wife, An Shi, and Yongning Fang were very busy, and the people in the house knew that Gao Zheng suddenly became the commander of Linjing County. But Gao Qi's wife said it so clearly, and Wang, who was sitting on the side, didn't like to listen to it very much, and couldn't defend it.

Liu Yuru said with a smile, "Fourth sister-in-law, you can say that you are bad, Jun has always not allowed us to interfere in his official affairs, it's okay if I don't speak, my eyes widen as soon as I speak." I heard that the appointment of the third brother was proposed by Lord Hao, the servant of the ministry. ”

The banquet was all set, and Gao Jun was still nowhere to be seen.

Gao Shenxing pondered: Liu Yuru is right, Hao Shilang, the official department, was supported by his father a lot in the past, and he was very close to Gaofu, so he could go and talk to him about his own affairs.

As long as Hao Shilang can mention it, Gao Jun will have a credential if he nods again.

But Gao Jun was delayed, and Gao Xianxing couldn't say a lot of things that he had brewed, and he was a little unhappy with the wine.

At this time, a family member from Yongningfang ran over and handed over a letter to Liu Yuru. Liu Yuru didn't read it at first, and put the letter on the table, but she couldn't eat the meal.

After her family left, she looked at the door several times, glancing at the letter from time to time.

Gao Xianxing asked, "Yuru, what kind of letter is that?" ”

Liu Yuru said, "My lord, this is ...... It's Jun's family letter. ”

"A letter from home? Where did it come from? Gao Xianxing suddenly thought that this letter could not be written back by Qing Ruoying from Qianzhou, "Since it is a family letter, Gao Jun is not there, you can open it, why is the official so slow to see you?" ”

"Father, this is a letter from Silla Kingdom, and it is inconvenient for me to open it."

The people of the whole house suddenly pricked up their ears, and the last time the Queen of Silla left Beijing, Shang Shu Ling Gao Jun took the six ladies to the end, and everyone had heard of it.

The emperor's edict on marriage was not put on the surface, but it was just locked in the Nabao gold box for Kim Sun-deok, but at this time, a letter from the Silla country suddenly appeared, and no one's curiosity could be hidden, because even Yoo Yuru was like this.

Gao Shen said, "You are the head of the Harrier Mansion, why can't you even open the family letter?" You tear it down for me! Gofu has never had a relative of Silla, but the official wants to see what is going on, so did he settle his home in Silla again? ”

In fact, Liu Yuru is also very curious in her heart, she and Gao Jun are the same, but in this kind of thing, she is more eager than anyone else. If a senior judge speaks, then she opens the letter, and Gao Jun will not blame herself.

Everyone saw that she opened the letter and looked down, and An asked, "Yuru, what is the matter?" I guess the queen wrote it, right? Otherwise, how could the Queen of Silla just come and he would have a letter from Silla's family. ”

Liu Yuru blushed and said, "Third sister-in-law, you guessed right. ”

The senior interrogator asked, "Can you read it?" Let the old man see how he provoked the queen again! ”

Liu Yuru said: "...... Chang'an has been separated for more than a month, the concubine misses it in every way, and there is no interest on the way, only the shadow of the monarch appears from time to time. Today, I have arrived in China by sea, but I am in love with the spirit, the food is unpleasant, and I have no intention of national affairs. ”

The hall was silent, all listening, a woman in Silla who was unconcerned about state affairs and looked angry was not the queen!

"Anything else?" High-level interrogation.

Liu Yuru stopped reading, but people were still waiting, and Mrs. Yaoguo said, "My lord, I can't read it anymore, the following are all private words of two people, and it's not good to read it here." ”

Kim Sun-deok also said in the letter, "Kim Sang-yi said that the concubine is afraid that she is pregnant, but she will have to look at it for another two months to confirm." But the concubine has heard the number of joys, if you get the grace of the adult, then Silla has a trust! ”

Kim Sun-deok said that she did not want to make the matter public for the time being, and she was worried that if she really had a child in her womb, if she announced it too early, someone would plot and make her unable to raise the baby with peace of mind.

Jin Shande also did not announce the edict of the Tang Emperor's marriage in China, let alone plan to announce her marriage to the Tang Dynasty Shangshuling soon. These two major events have to be said at the most critical time of the situation, and it is not yet that time.

It was a technical task to get the generals of all sides of the Silla country who held military power and were interested in the queen to hear the news. But people speak as fast as the wind, and the sea can't stop it, Liu Yuru knows that she can't read it here.

Gao Shenxing shouted, "He can really do it, the queen of Silla came to Chang'an, and the old man also heard about it, but how dare he take the sheep with his hands!" Does Your Majesty know? In case the blame is down, our Gao Mansion will eat his hanging......"

Liu Yuru said, "Of course Your Majesty knows,"

Gao Xianxing stopped talking, so many people in Xinglufang, from this letter from Silla, finally put the doubts in their hearts into practice. If His Majesty allows it, it will be another glory that no one in the Gao Mansion can match.

The wine was half drunk, but Gao Jun still did not arrive.

Although Gao Xianxing is unhappy, he can't show too much, after all, Gao Jun is still in charge of the six departments, so there are certain opportunities for daily management.

However, the Chinese book ordered Chu Suiliang and Li Shixian, the squire of the military department, to visit.

Gao Xianxing ignored the words of several elder brothers, and ordered, "Quick, please come in." ”

Another greeting, please sit down with the two adults. Chu Suiliang said, "Brother Xing's rumors in Qianzhou have risen, and even His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about it. ”

Li Shichang had just learned from the military department that Shang Shuling Gao Jun didn't know what he had heard, and hurried to Meridian Valley as if he had fled. When he came out, he met Master Chu, and when he inquired, he learned that it was the assassin of Qianzhou, so he also came to visit.

Li Shichang said, "The political voice of Lord Assassin Shi is well known throughout the country, and a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and many important ministers also mentioned when discussing politics that they intended to be appointed by Lord Gao as the right concubine of the prince." ”

A Chinese scholar and a British duke immediately rushed over when they heard the news that Qianzhou had arrived in Beijing, and this face was really not small.

What made the high-level trial even more excited was the unique inside story that Li Shichang said, that is, he was seventy percent sure!

The prince's right concubine, the future prince is naturally courageous, that is from the ministry of the third grade, the status is high and respected. If you add a "Tongzhongshu Door", he is also a nominal prime minister.

Then after the death of the elder Ge, the prosperity of the Gao Mansion again, even if it is genuinely borne by the old five families.

Gao Xianxing modestly said to the two visiting adults, "These words are still inconvenient to say, Gao is not like those juniors, it is inevitable to think of some fame, but the courage to do things can still be done." ”

After eating, Lord Chu and Li Shichang said goodbye and left the house, but Shang Shuling still did not arrive.

The women and children of Yongning Fang returned to Yongning Fang in a hurry, and the officials of Xinglu Fang also returned to the government to do things.

He came to the waiter Hao Chujun to verify how true what Li Shichang said. It would be even better if you could meet Gao Jun here.

Lord Hao was very enthusiastic about the officials from the Gao Mansion, pulled Gao Shen Xing to his room for a private chat, and personally made tea for the Qianzhou Thorn Shi and recalled the care of the elder Ge when he was alive.

Hao Shilang said that he would pass on the matter of the return of the high court to Beijing as soon as possible to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which would arrange for the foreign officials to enter Beijing, and that His Majesty the Emperor would personally receive him.

In addition, regarding the examination of the merits of the officials, he asked the high judge to rest assured, "With the achievements and political reputation of the Gao people in Qianzhou, it will not be a problem to inspect a superior." ”

After a few words, Gao Xianxing asked about the right concubine, "Could it be that what Li Shilang said in the military department is true?" The official didn't believe it. ”

Master Hao said. "The early dynasty did say this, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also praised Lord Assassin Shi for this."

The high judge asked with interest, "What can Your Highness praise me?" ”

Hao Shilang said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exaggerates the history of the thorn and the bright festival, and does not value the fame. ”

"It seems that the prince knows best, but what did the prince say?"

Hao Shilang said in a hurry, "Harrier Guogong said...... Lord Thorn Shi has no intention of entering Beijing to take up a post, and his health is not very good...... But his fears are not unfounded......"

……

Coming out of the ministry, the high judge was so angry that he couldn't even find the north, it turned out that it was none other than Gao Jun who tried his best to prevent him from being promoted to the position of the right concubine of the third prince, it was Gao Jun!

Lord Hao said it mildly, can't he hear it?! Is the officer in poor health? The official didn't know that he was in bad health, but you kid knew it first.

He learned from Lord Hao that Gao Jun didn't go back to the house to see him, it turned out that he was hiding from Meridian Valley, so he also rushed over.

Otherwise, a person who came all the way from Qianzhou to assassinate Shi, and after arriving in Chang'an, he didn't go to worship his dead father's coffin, but only ran to the officials, which is not very like words.

Qianzhou Thorn Shi took his entourage and rushed to Ziwuyu without stopping, but he only saw the sixth brother Gao Shenxing and his wife in Ziwuyu, Gao Jun before and after, and slipped away.

This is a bit strange, as if Gao Jun foresaw that the meeting with the Qianzhou assassin might be unpleasant, and Cheng Xin played hide and seek with Gao Zhenxing.

The sixth brother, Gao Shenxing, saw the unhappiness on the fifth brother's face, and Gao Jun suddenly ran over and told Gao Shenxing about his worries euphemistically.
