Bright Spring

Ji Gang said: "Brother Gao, it's okay to say."

Gao Xianning actually listened to him and whispered: "Brother Ji has offended too many people in this business, so it's not a good thing. Brother, you can hear that rabbits and dogs are cooked, birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden?"

Ji Gang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know, thank you Brother Gao for your kind words."

Gao Xianning watched Ji Gang's face carefully, shook his head and sighed slightly.Maybe Ji Gang just knew those two words.

Gao Xianning arrived in the capital that day.Youshi is approaching, and the emperor still summons him immediately.The emperor was very happy to see that this person who wrote the theory that the Duke of Zhou was a king and made it known to all the scholars in the world also came and surrendered.

The emperor appointed Gao Xianning as the editor of the Imperial Academy on the same day, and rewarded him with a mansion in the capital.

The monarch and his ministers talked happily until late at night.As a result, Gao Xianning could only go out of the Meridian Gate in a hanging basket, and stayed overnight in the Imperial Academy Office on the east side behind the Qianbu Corridor.

Gao Xianning was clear in his heart: the emperor treated him so courteously, not because of his talent, but because of his reputation.

There are many Jinshi in the world, Gao Xianning is a student of the imperial court, and his fame is only a scholar. With his so-called talent, he can talk to the emperor at night by candlelight?

Today it is not Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, nor is Gao Xianning Jia Yi.

But Gao Xianning has another value, which is reputation.A piece of Zhou Gongfu became king, made the world know that Zhu Di should not attack the emperor's nephew Jianwen if he wanted righteousness... But now the person who wrote the article has taken refuge in Zhu Di, since he has not set an example, the righteousness written in the article can still Is it convincing?

……

Zhu Gaoxu went to the city last night, first went to Zuixianlou, one of the official kilns set up by his grandfather, "Jinling Sixteenth Floor", and found a girl to accompany him. Go back to the county prince's mansion, only to come back tomorrow to take away the mount.

He walked along a bench in Zuixianlou, tied it with a hemp rope, skillfully climbed over the wall and went home, and then went to Du Qianrui's room.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of Du Qianrui's room, and went out to meet the middle-aged Aunt Wang who had a few pockmarks on her face.When Aunt Wang saw him, she smiled teasingly, and Zhu Gaoxu also looked at her with a smile.

Then he prepared to go to the dining room and wait for someone to serve breakfast.Walking under a ledge, she saw Yao Ji holding a toothbrush and going into the house just after brushing her teeth.Yao Ji bowed slightly expressionlessly, "I have seen the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Yao Ji seemed cold this morning, so he nodded in doubt.

At this moment, Yao Ji said again: "If the lord has nothing to say, I will go into the room." After saying that, she turned around and left.

When Zhu Gaoxu thought of her deep affection for him, and compared with her current attitude, there was a contrast like ice and fire!Yao Ji's aura sometimes made Zhu Gaoxu feel that the contrast was too great and he was a little confused.

It's just like the hot and cold now, and it's like her charming and enchanting in her pure beauty.The same is true of her figure, which is not covered by the loose monk robe. Wearing a slightly fitted skirt, her breasts are uncoordinatedly large, but her waist is barely enough to hold.Fortunately, Yao Ji is tall and tall, with straight shoulders, but she is too attractive.

Zhu Gaoxu then called out: "Yao Ji?"

As soon as she walked to the door, she turned around and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, "What else is there for the lord?"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and said, "Are you jealous?"

Yao Ji had a half-smile expression on her face, her voice was soothing, and she said unhurriedly: "The prince is a nobleman of the clan. Is it not unusual to have three wives and four concubines? In your eyes, I am really stupid to be that kind of person." At this point, you want to compete with a woman brought back from Fuleyuan to be jealous?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard it, it seemed to be the truth.So he was even more confused, and didn't provoke her, why did she suddenly become cold this morning?

"Then why?" Zhu Gaoxu stopped his smile and frowned, "Sometimes I feel very close to Yao Ji, sometimes it's clearly in front of my eyes, but it seems to be thousands of miles away."

"It's nothing!" Yao Ji's eyes flickered, "Is there anything I'm rude about?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's not true, even if there is, I don't care about it. Forget it, I never want to make things difficult for others. If you don't want to say it, then go back to your room."

Yao Ji slightly bowed her knees to say goodbye, then suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "Since sister Du wants to pretend, why don't you pretend to be a little bit more decent?"

The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately asked again, "Is she not feeling well, why didn't I hear it?"

Yao Ji's bright eyes flicked across Zhu Gaoxu's face, "If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it, but I can hear it." After saying that, he went into the room.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the dining room, recalling the scene just now, wondering what Yao Ji meant...

Did Yao Ji see through his trick and know that he sneaked out the night before yesterday?So her indifference is because Zhu Gaoxu did this and didn't choose her, so she blamed him for his distrust?

Zhu Gaoxu really didn't trust Yao Ji enough, because some things were a bit strange after scrutiny; and when she asked her about her hometown and details, she also changed the subject in a vague way.Isn't it wrong to trust a person without thinking?

However, Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he might be thinking too much.The meaning of her last sentence was unclear, but it was not like accusing Zhu Gaoxu.

He walked to the dining room and sat down, and soon he felt better, because the breakfast served by the maid really looked very appetizing.A cage of soup dumplings, a large bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and several dishes of salted pickles in different colors.

Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse for [-] miles yesterday afternoon, didn't eat dinner, and only came home from Zuixian Tower in the middle of the night, and now he is really hungry.

In his previous life, he was a person who valued enjoyment, and enjoyment is to meet | needs, not to say that people with poor conditions cannot meet needs.Food and sex, isn't the most common satisfaction the same?The simplest and most important thing is food. If you are hungry three times a day, you will be able to satisfy your appetite three times a day.

Zhu Gaoxu ate his breakfast with relish, and his mood gradually improved.

Gao Xianning agreed to go to Beijing to be an official, but Zhu Gaoxu got the handle again. From now on, there will be one more person from him in the court... This is not easy. Zhu Gaoxu doesn't think that as a vassal king, he is blatantly trying to win over the courtiers under the eyes of his father. , is a wise move.

But on the other hand, Wang Gui came back without any news for a day, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't rest assured for a day, and was always worried and looking forward to it.

This feeling of being about to succeed and yet feeling uncertain is like meeting a first-time encounter in life, and the heart beats faster.He's actually very useful.

Chapter 165 Shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain

There are many government offices on both sides of the wide thousand-step corridor.The Hanlin Academy is behind the Thousand Steps Corridor, one of the closest yamen in the imperial city to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Gao Xianning is on duty in this yamen, he is a humble and easy-going person.Although most of his colleagues were Jinshi, they soon became acquainted with him.

In the Hanlin Academy, there were no casual contacts, and all the people he made friends with were knowledgeable and courteous, and his colleagues were very polite and refined; the environment was good, and Gao Xianning soon felt that being an official here is quite good.

Therefore, the capital left a good impression on Gao Xianning.

Only one of his colleagues looked down on Gao Xianning a little bit, and soon Gao Xianning heard a talkative colleague tell him: that person said behind his back that Gao Xianning did not take the right path of the imperial examination, and only picked crooked ways to get in the position!

It is also said that Gao Xianning relied on writing "Zhou Gong Fu Cheng Wang Lun" to gain fame and reputation, but immediately reneged on his words and took refuge in the new king, just taking the "Zhongnanshan shortcut".

That person is Xie Jin.

Xie Jin's reputation is also great, and he became famous earlier than Gao Xianning.Gao Xianning had heard about this person a long time ago, but he just smiled and did not comment.

Legend has it that Xie Jin began to learn to read and write when he was still breastfeeding in his infancy; at the age of five, the name of supernatural powers had spread throughout the village.Then the examination of scholars, candidates, and Jinshi went smoothly all the way, and the township examination even ranked first, known as "Jie Yuan".

Xie Jin was less than 20 years old when he passed the Jinshi examination. In this age when the gray-haired man was still very likely to fail the examination, a Jinshi under the age of 20 is quite impressive!

Xie Jin was proud of his academic career, but he was very frustrated after entering the officialdom.

First, when Taizu was the emperor, Taizu loved his talent very much, and told Xie Jin to "speak everything he knows" despite admonishing him.In the end, Xie Jin really said everything, said a lot of bad things about Taizu, and said that Li Shanchang was a little wronged... So although Taizu recognized Xie Jin's talent, he felt that it was not easy to use, so he asked him to go back to cultivate his morality.Taizu meant that if he didn't want to use it, he could leave it to his grandson.

So came the Jianwen Dynasty.Xie Jin immediately went to Beijing to pay homage to Taizu, but ended up having grievances with many courtiers and was always impeached.Emperor Jianwen felt that it was very troublesome, so he demoted him to Gansu again.Prepare to keep it until there is a shortage of people in the future.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Jianwen, Xie Jin returned to the capital, but the emperor Jianwen "self-immolated" as soon as he thought of him.

But at this time the capital had a new emperor, Emperor Yong Le.Xie Jin came up to take refuge, saying that Gansu was too far away, there were too many sheep, and he wanted to be a Beijing official... Yongle was overjoyed!

The original Yanwang Mansion was full of military generals. If there is no shortage of military generals, there is a shortage of civil servants!Damn it, a celebrity from Shilin volunteered to vote, and Yongle immediately regarded Xie Jin as a treasure and was ready to make good use of him.

Xie Jin was immediately appointed as a Beijing official, and he will be an imperial servant first.So Xie Jin finally turned around.
