"Stand down, how many times have I told you, be reasonable, don't use the knife easily, dare to ask, but the tall man of Weiqiao Town?"

After a while, a man in the same short dress walked out, and when he saw the kneeling middle-aged man, he immediately stopped, looked at him several times, and then walked quickly and stretched out his hands to support.

“…… In Xia Gao Cui Peak, there is something important to ask to see His Royal Highness King Liang! The knife on his neck was removed, and the middle-aged man still knelt on the ground and turned his head to look around, and also looked at the visitor carefully a few times before whispering the number.

"Lord Gao, please get up quickly, when I see the bag next, I know that there is an old man coming, I didn't expect it to be you, Lord Gao. Come, come, please, this is not the place to speak. The person who came stepped forward to help Gao Cuifeng up, and spoke quite politely, but there was no apology at all, and he made a gesture of invitation to the door while speaking,

"Brother Tai is a little familiar, I don't know ......" Gao Cuifeng dusted off the soil on his clothes and followed the visitor into the gate, sure enough, this courtyard is where the groom lives. Big is really big, but unfortunately there is no public court except for more than a dozen tall horses.

"In Xia Gongqi, I have been listening to it under General Jiang, and I followed King Liang after Xijin Mansion, and now I am a foreign official in the mansion." The man who came out later spoke very straightforwardly, without nonsense or too much politeness, with a smile on his face, but he always felt tough.

"Oh, no wonder you know this bag...... Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Liang if he can be in the house? ”

Gao Cuifeng immediately relaxed when he heard the three words of General Jiang, no wonder he could know himself and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, these special forces brought out by Jiang Erlang didn't like to make do with people very much, but they always followed Wang Xu's side.

"Your Excellency is in the inner house, Lord Gao will wait a while, and I will send someone to help you pass through."

When Gong Qi arrived in the middle of the courtyard, he walked further, stretched out his hand and called another person who was dressed similarly to hand over the letter, and then accompanied Gao Cuifeng to stand in the courtyard and wait, it seemed that he did not plan to give up his seat to watch the tea, and it was estimated that he had not prepared these ceremonies, which was very in line with Wang Xu's habits.

"How do you handle official business when you set up the yamen in the stable yard?" Gao Cuifeng is here for the first time, and he is very puzzled when he looks left and right.

"Where is there any official business, don't hide it from Lord Gao, I have been here with my lord for two years, and I have not seen an official who came to work for business. The adults themselves paid for the imperial court to repair the river, who dared to come and shout five and six, the adults didn't have to say anything, just let the other party return the arrears of money and grain, no one could solve it, and they simply didn't come. This system makes it too worry-free, and it is more idle than the chief of the village. ”

Since they are people in the same system, Gong Qi does not deliberately hide anything when he speaks, don't look at the courtyard of just a stable, and ordinary outsiders are not allowed to enter.

This door leads directly to the inner house, and it is usually used by the servants of the house when they go out to buy and use, and they have to be inspected when they enter and exit. Officials who come to visit Liangwang generally go to the main gate of Liangwangfu in the east, and those who have a good relationship can dock directly at the wharf in the west.

After a short time, the person who went in to pass the ceremony came back, and Gong Qi briefly explained a few words, and personally took Gao Cuifeng through the small door and entered the inner house.

At this time, Gao Cuifeng found that this mansion was far larger than the scale seen outside, with layers of courtyards, gardens, and water pavilions, all kinds of winding paths, and no one was guaranteed to get lost.

"Steward Gong, this smell ......" When passing by a small courtyard, Gao Cuifeng suddenly smelled a smell of déjà vu, and couldn't help but ask.

"This is Dabao Cosmetics Factory, and it is full of fat powder for women. The tall adults can ask the adults for some to take back to their wives, or give them as gifts. This is not an ordinary fat powder, there is a name given by the queen of the dynasty, it is said that it will be sold for a small bottle of five yuan in Hangzhou, and it must be cheaper to open it. Adults must be happy if they haven't seen him for a long time, don't be in vain. ”

Gong Qi pointed to the plaque on the lintel and gave Gao Cuifeng an idea with a wicked smile. On the issue of how to take advantage of their own adults, they reached a consensus when they were on the road, and they resolutely did not relent. It's too easy for this adult to make money, and no matter how ruthless he is, it won't hurt a bit.

"Shhh...... It turns out that the popular Dabao skin cream in Kaifeng is from here, and adults are really calculating! Glancing at the plaque on the courtyard gate, Gao Cuifeng immediately believed it, it was really the handiwork of Queen Pang.

When Gao Cuifeng saw Hong Tao, he was directing two maids to cut leeks in the glass greenhouse, and in addition to the two greenhouses, there were also a few vegetable patches and fruit trees in the yard, but there were no flowers of all colors.

This is also Hong Tao's consistent style, in Kaifeng is like this, never fiddling with useless things, everything is practical. Koi fish and goldfish are raised in other people's garden pavilions, and this one specializes in crabs, because crabs can be eaten, and he loves to eat.

"Lao Gao, I haven't seen you for two years, your belly can be a lot bigger. Well, it's more pleasing to the eye to wear this long shirt, and it's a bit of the style of the East Palace's subordinates. Hong Tao also saw Gao Cuifeng, lowered his head and walked out of the greenhouse and pointed to the pavilion next to him, and took the lead in walking over.

"Your Excellency has always been well!" When Gao Cuifeng came, he thought of countless ways to meet, but when he saw this unfazed face, he couldn't say it, so it was more natural to simply ask as before.

"This king has always eaten and slept well, how about King Qi and the wasp, you came alone but you encountered a problem?"

At the beginning, Gao Cuifeng and Wasp were handed over to Zhao Maid to let the two of them try to assist in protecting them, and don't meet with them again if there is no big deal, in case the new emperor knows about it, he will think more.

Moreover, the Shanchuan Supervision Institute can't take care of Zhao Maid for the time being, and it is difficult for the palace to penetrate. Although Zhao maid was out of the cabinet, he was not allowed to open a government to build a mansion, and the Empress Dowager Gao said that she wanted to see her grandson every day, and forcibly left him in the palace to live.

It's just that two courtyards were set out in the east of Liushang near the palace wall as the mansion of Zhao Maid, and subordinates were also allowed to visit every day, saying that the palace was not a palace, and that the East Palace was not like the East Palace.

Why did it happen like this, Hong Tao couldn't figure it out, he knew even less about the various rules and habits of the ancient royal family. But the eldest princess said privately that Empress Dowager Gao probably did this to protect her grandson from the outside world.

Hong Tao still agrees with this explanation, after all, Zhao Maid was only twelve years old at the time, and it was indeed a bit too tender to rashly break into court politics. In case someone designs to frame him, not to mention whether he can get the position of the crown prince, I am afraid that the identity of King Qi will not be able to be kept, and he will be kicked out directly.

From this point, it can also be seen that Empress Dowager Gao did not support Zhao Hao's succession because she didn't like Zhao Hao, but she also had to make this decision out of consideration for the smooth change of power.

In addition, it may also be a protest against the eldest son and the second son-in-law joining forces to snatch power, the old lady knows very well where the royal power comes from, and it is not safe to rely on means alone.

suppressed Zhao Fu and Wang Xu, and succeeded by Zhao Hao, which was also a gesture of willingness to alleviate the contradiction to the scholars, but still wanted to return the throne to the eldest son.

No matter how Empress Dowager Gao planned the succession order of her children and grandchildren, Gao Cuifeng's sudden appearance in Yangtze Town must have a big event, so big that he and Zhao Maid couldn't make up their minds.

At this time, Hong Tao didn't show much on his face, but he was bitter in his heart. I just lurked down to avoid most of the court's attention and wanted to develop quietly for a few years, and you came to stir up again, it's really more troublesome for pig teammates than enemies!
