Chapter 22 Good Things II
So his attention was on the matter in front of him again, since Xiao Liang's accident, the palace guards have been headless, and the head of the palace has been vacant for many days, as if Xia Zhen has forgotten about this matter, and others can't guess what the reason is, only the palace guards themselves are secretly discussing, after Xiao Liang falls this time, what kind of person will the palace director send to replace Xiao Liang.
And Gao Huaiyuan was also secretly observing the progress of the matter, this time he killed Xiao Liang, in fact, it didn't do him much good, but the biggest benefit was Guicheng, so that Guicheng's prestige reached a peak in the palace after this incident, and no one dared not to use him as dry food anymore, so Guicheng was very happy.
But for Gao Huaiyuan, he offended a large group of people, because he was not a person in the palace front division system, he belonged to the ministry of officials, and he was a loose official, this time he clashed with Xiao Liang, and forced Xiao Liang to fall, in the palace front division system, he may become a public enemy, the soldier has been protecting his shortcomings since ancient times, and it doesn't matter if he breaks his head between his own people, but he can't be bullied by outsiders, Xiao Liang was bullied by outsiders this time, and he is also a little-known local loose official, many colleagues of Xiao Liang in the former palace division, They all talked secretly, wanting to find trouble with Gao Huaiyuan one day and fight for the front division of the palace.
But things changed too fast, so that Gao Huaiyuan was unexpected, a few days later, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly received a notice from the Ministry of Officials in the Yiwang Mansion, saying that he should go to the Ministry of Officials, only saying that he wanted him to do something, but did not tell him what the specific matter was.
So Gao Huaiyuan went to Guicheng to take leave, ran to the ministry, and after arriving at the ministry, he was shocked to learn that he was actually transferred to the front of the palace as an errand boy, which is equivalent to transferring from the magistrate to the front of the palace system, and becoming a serious soldier! It is equivalent to changing from the identity of an official to the identity of a soldier, which is not common in the Song Dynasty.
Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly inquired about what was going on in this matter, but the officials only replied that this time the matter was operated between the above, and they were not very clear, and they also felt a little strange, this situation they had rarely encountered before, you must know that the palace front division is in charge of the palace horse infantry army guarding Gyeonggi, which is an important military force in the Southern Song Dynasty at present, and it is also an important military force controlled by the emperor, after nearly a hundred years of development in the Southern Song Dynasty, It turns out that the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty has gradually stabilized after several changes, and the officers and soldiers of the palace division are mostly carefully selected from all over the country, which is regarded as an elite soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is not easy for ordinary people to enter the palace division, because the officers and soldiers of the palace division are much better than the treatment of the local garrison army, and many people want to enter the palace division system, but this elite army is now a little tasteless, since the Southern Song Dynasty stabilized its position, the Jin country was no longer able to cross the Huai River and the Yangtze River, and invaded Lin'an City, Therefore, this army seems to be elite, but in fact, it has not participated in any wars, and it is mostly responsible for guarding and maintaining local law and order in Beijing, and the factions in it are even more complicated, and it is also a weight in the struggle for power.
And Gao Huaiyuan really didn't expect that he would suddenly be transferred to the front of the palace now, and after the people from the ministry completed the formalities, they handed it over to Gao Huaiyuan, asking him to report to the front of the palace as soon as possible in the next two days to see what arrangements the front division of the palace would make for him.
Gao Huaiyuan took the things given to him, and couldn't figure out this matter, now he is Guicheng's attendant, and he should have stayed in the Yiwang Mansion to accompany Guicheng to study, why did he transfer him to the front of the palace now, could it be that Shi Miyuan, an old thief, annoyed him because of this incident with Xiao Liang, and was ready to find a reason to kick him out of the palace?
Gao Huaiyuan was a little puzzled, but he could only leave the yamen of the ministry first, and returned to the street, he looked up to see that it was still early, so he paid attention to the front and back of him, and after not finding anyone paying attention to him, he turned around and walked towards a secluded alley in the southeast of the outer city.
After a few gentle knocks on the doorlink of an inconspicuous courtyard in the alley, someone opened the courtyard door from the inside in a few moments.
A young man appeared in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he showed a look of surprise and was about to scream, but Gao Huaiyuan immediately raised his hand to stop his shout, shook his head and looked back, and walked into this small courtyard.
"What is Mr. Ji doing now?" Gao Huaiyuan asked the person who opened the door.
"Young master, you can be regarded as coming here today, the little ones miss you very much! Mr. Ji is now reading in the study, young master, please! The young man who greeted him immediately replied respectfully.
It turned out that Gao Huaiyuan took advantage of this opportunity to sneak to Ji Xiancheng's residence in the capital, since he came to the capital, he has only been here once, under normal circumstances, Ji Xiancheng does not let him come here easily, for fear of causing him some trouble, but today, Gao Huaiyuan really wants to let Ji Xiancheng analyze the matter in front of him before going to the front of the palace, after all, Ji Xiancheng knows more about this kind of thing than him.
Ji Xiancheng was really reading a book, and after hearing the knock on the door, he said please come in, Gao Huaiyuan pushed the door in, Ji Xiancheng saw Gao Huaiyuan coming, frowned slightly, and got up unhappily and said, "Who should I be!" It turned out that the young master was here! Didn't I say that? When the young master is fine, it is better to come to me less! Under normal circumstances, as long as they run errands! ”
"Mr. Ji, don't worry, who said I'm okay today! I've got you covered! Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly smiled, but he was not angry in the face of Ji Xiancheng's attitude, after all, Ji Xiancheng was doing it for his good.
Ji Xiancheng heard that Gao Huaiyuan had something important to look for him, so he smiled, asked Gao Huaiyuan to sit down, and instructed his subordinates to watch the tea.
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Ji Xiancheng also lowered his head and pondered for a while, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "So that's the case!" I have roughly figured it out, the young master doesn't have to worry about this matter, this matter is a good thing for you, you just have to go to the front of the palace to report for duty, it will not be to kick you out of the Yiwang Mansion, let alone get you to the front of the palace to be the head soldier! ”
Gao Huaiyuan was confused by his words, so he asked, "Did Mr. Ji think of something when he said this?" Why are you so sure? ”
Ji Xiancheng had an unfathomable look on his face, and replied with a smile: "Young master, don't ask more, now let's hurry up and report to the front of the palace!" Let's see if I'm wrong! I won't tell you why now, you can think about it yourself after you go back, and the young master will still have to use his brain more in this area in the future! After all, there will be many things in Lin'an in the future, and you have to analyze the reasons yourself! Young master, please do it! ”
Gao Huaiyuan didn't stay in this small courtyard for a quarter of an hour, and was kicked out by Ji Xiancheng, so he was very depressed, so he had to go in the direction of the front of the palace with anxiety.
