The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Murong Yanze said innocently: "These women are all singers raised by my family, and the men are servants, and they are not people of unknown origin. The official family is very safe here, what is the father-in-law anxious about?"

It's just that the singers didn't know that Zhao Ji was the emperor, and they only regarded it as a distinguished guest to be entertained by their master.

Gao Ming said: "Seeing that Eunuch is in such a hurry, let's call out the officials, and say that Eunuch Yang has some harsh words to say." Then he went to open the door.

Yang Jian saw it, and hurriedly grabbed Gao Ming, "Slow down!" The official is in high spirits, and if he disturbs him now, wouldn't it be too much for his life, and he will be chopped off.

Gao Ming clicked his tongue, "Then listen to your father-in-law and stop looking for it."

Yan Qing hugged her shoulders and looked at Yang Jian with a smile.

After waiting for a while, the servants who played Han Xizai and the male guests also quietly retreated out. This meeting is full of singers.

Even the emperor, he has never been so indulgent.

Gao Ming felt that Zhao Ji would not be able to come out for a while, so he yawned, and went to the next room with Murong Yanze and Yan Qing to eat and take turns to take a nap.

But Yang Jian insisted on not moving, he must come out and the emperor saw him at first sight and witnessed his loyalty.

So I waited and waited until it was dawn before Zhao Ji came out and yawned slightly.

When Yang Jian saw the emperor, he went up to meet him, and called out worriedly, "Official."

Zhao Ji frowned, "You waited here all night?" When he was having fun inside, he actually didn't want anyone outside to listen.

Only then did Gao Ming and the others come out from the next door, and they all said in panic, "Forgive me, butler, we accidentally fell asleep last night."

Zhao Ji thought to himself, this is right, they all stay away.

Zhao Ji ignored Yang Jian, looked at Gao Ming and the others, and became more rational after a night of indulgence, "It's hard for you to take such a big trouble."

Gao Ming immediately said: "I just collected some copies of ancient paintings for the officials to enjoy, so why bother?"

It's just a copy of an ancient painting. You just entered the painting last night. Everything that happened was dreamy, fake, not real, and we don't know anything.

Zhao Ji's little guilty conscience and moral pressure disappeared, he nodded knowingly, and walked out with a smile.

Before Zhao Jilin went out, he realized that he hadn't gone to the other side of the first floor, and asked curiously, "What's in there?"

"The imperial concubine pool."

Yang Jian almost fainted. It turned out that there was no end, and Concubine Yang Gui didn't show up.

Zhao Ji glanced at it in reverie, before stepping out the door with unsatisfied thoughts.

While following the emperor, Yang Jian stared at Gao Ming sadly,

Yang Jian didn't have a good rest last night, so he took a nap during the day, but his dream was filled with the sound of strings and bamboos, not to mention that, gradually, Gao Ming's smug smile appeared.

He suddenly woke up from the dream, wiped the sweat from his brow, and beat the bed in frustration.

Why didn't he think of asking someone to act as a famous painting for the emperor to have fun, but Gao Ming thought of it first. Could it be that he is really old?

However, he still has Li Shishi. The officials were tired last night, so they will probably rest in the palace tonight. Hook it back.

Those women who dress up as Tang people are just vulgar fans. Li Shishi is not as elegant as Li Shishi, and the official's heart is still on Li Shishi.

But the reality slapped him hard in the face. Two days later, the emperor left the palace again. This time he passed Yanyue Street, skipped Li Shishi's place, and went straight to Little Happy Forest at the end of Yanyue Street.

Yang Jian's heart was broken. Sure enough, men love the new and hate the old.

Zhao Ji knocked on the door of the small courtyard, because he came here once, he walked in familiarly.

This time Gao Ming didn't show up, only a woman dressed as a Tang Palace man said with a smile, "It's cold outside, officials, please come and warm up."

After speaking, he led Zhao Ji to the corridor on the left, opened the curtain of a moon door, and felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

It was early winter outside, with a cold wind blowing, which made people feel cold all over, but inside the house was as warm as summer.

They came to a spacious hall, the floor was smooth stone bricks, and there was a smooth stone plate in the center of the room not far away, the size of two beds, where two or three people could easily lie down.

Zhao Ji, who was still wearing a cloak, felt very hot, took off the cloak, asked Yang Jian to hold it, and walked towards the stone bed-like thing curiously.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the stone bed was actually hot, so he sat down, and the cold air that he was exposed to outside was suddenly dispelled.

At this time, a group of maids walked in from the main entrance, "Guest, if you want to take a bath, please lie down, and the servants will wait for you." She smiled at Yang Jian and said, "How about you?"

Yang Jian was an eunuch, but he didn't dare to bathe in front of the official's house. He also saw that the official's house wanted to stay, so he retreated knowingly.

-

At this time, Gao Ming and Murong Yanze were drinking hot tea and chatting in the upstairs room.

Murong Yanze was a little worried, "Don't we need to go and see? Can the officials get used to washing that thing? Lying on that big hot rock, and then asking someone to take a bath and massage? What if he doesn't like it? ?”

"Didn't you try it before? Don't you like it?"

"That's true." Murong Yanze said, "However, I'm still not at ease."

"Do not worry."

How many people have tested the Turkish bath, everyone enjoys the same, it is unreasonable that countless people like it throughout the ages, except for Zhao Ji.

One lays down on the hot big rock, steams well, waits until the pores are all opened, and then asks someone to wait for him to wash off the dirt all over the body, and then take a bath with stretched limbs to relax the muscles and blood.

This is not over yet, let's do a full-body massage at the end, further to relax the muscles and bones, promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue, and the whole body is extremely relaxed.

During this period, you can still eat all kinds of preserved fruit snacks, drink fine wine, and maybe fall asleep under the comfort.

They waited for the news, and it was not until two hours later that they got the news that the guest came out of the bath and went to the imperial concubine.

Gao Ming thought to himself, this time I will watch Cui Niannu, but dancing is what she is best at, and she is bright and beautiful, it should be easy to play Concubine Yang.

If a man can go back to the time when a famous beauty was born, what he wants to do the most is of course to meet this beauty.

Concubine Yang Gui, who is known as one of the four beauties, does not believe that Zhao Ji never thought about it.

When he read "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", he couldn't believe that he was not moved.

Although Zhao Ji couldn't transmigrate into Li Longji, Gao Ming could let him be a man of "Concubine Yang" in this small building tonight.

As for whether Concubine Yang Gui is a concubine or not, who would care about that? I guess Zhao Ji would only think in his heart that disasters are good and disasters are wonderful.

However, Gao Ming still has another concern, "Murong, you won't feel bad, will you?"

"Why? What's the pain?"

"Your sister..."

Murong Yanze waved his hand indifferently, "No one is so stupid as to think that he can monopolize the emperor." Not to mention these Yingying Yanyans outside the palace, there are more concubines and beauties in the palace.

When Zhao Ji was the prince, he was merciful everywhere. There were too many women to count. Who would care about feelings with such a person.

Gao Ming nodded, yes, Zhao Ji is fickle, but also fraternal, he has Li Shishi outside the palace, but it does not delay him in the palace to favor other concubines.

It is good that Zhao Ji is in good health, and I hope that King Yun can also inherit this from his father, so that there will be no more short-lived kings.

-

Zhao Ji never felt that he had never taken such a comfortable bath, so that he fell asleep on the warm big rock without realizing it.

After taking a nap, he felt indescribably relaxed and refreshed, and more energetic.

After coming out of the bathroom, the palace maid led her to a room inside.

He is looking forward to it, what treasures are waiting for him to develop.

The palace maid opened layers of curtains until the last layer of light veil revealed a graceful woman.

He personally lifted the last layer of veil, and saw the woman dressed in Tang fashion, with a magnificent appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, and when he saw him smiled sweetly, "Sanlang, you are here."

Saburo?Zhao Ji was startled, but soon realized that the woman was disguised as Concubine Yang, while he was Li Sanlang and Li Longji.

He found it interesting, "I'll come and see my concubine."

"Sanlang came just in time. The concubine recently had a dance, which has been rehearsed for a long time and is about to be presented to His Majesty." As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Ji's sleeve and continued to walk forward until he came to a spacious place.

On both sides of the surrounding area, there were already palace people playing the lute and pipa waiting. The imperial concubine invited Zhao Ji to take the seat, and she herself went down to the center of the dance floor, dancing with the drum music.

Zhao Ji was already proficient in melody, at this moment he really felt that it was Li Sanlang, and the beauty in front of him was Yang Yuhuan, who had already passed away, and he was so excited that he heard what the palace man was playing, and he also took the pipa ensemble.

She danced gracefully, and her colorful clothes twirled, as if bringing a room full of colorful clouds, full of brilliance.

Zhao Ji was obsessed with seeing it unconsciously. He didn't like such aggressive beauty in the past, and he loved the subtle and graceful beauty more. But at this moment, he realized that his previous self was narrow-minded and shouldn't reject such beauty. .

After dancing the song, the noble concubine walked towards him, took his hand, and said delicately: "Sanlang, the concubine was not good a few days ago, and I shouldn't quarrel with you because of Concubine Mei. If Sanlang forgives the concubine, Let's stay here tonight."

How could Zhao Ji refuse, and said with a smile, "I will stay with the imperial concubine tonight."

-

Gao Ming saw that it was already the third watch, and before the emperor came out, he knew that Cui Niannu had taken him down.

He yawned and said to Murong Yanze: "Let's rest too, Cui Niannu should be done, don't worry about her."

"How did you come up with the idea that Cui Niannu, who was not interested in the emperor, would dress up as Yang Yuhuan. Do you have to get a beauty next time?"

"Do you know what the most popular antique is now?"

"I know, it's bronze wares." Murong Yanze said, "Those old men in the Ministry of Rites talk about it every day, my ears are almost getting callused."

"They play with bronze ware, put their hands on this thousand-year-old utensil, think about the ancients, and imagine that they have returned to the ancient scene. If there are clothes worn by Xi Shi preserved, they will definitely sell for sky-high prices. Let's just be more direct. One point, create a simulated scene of ancient times, and invite the officials to come in and play. It’s not impossible to have Xishi, as long as you like it, you can even have one from the Western Regions.”

Murong Yanze rested his cheeks, "That's why I said, even if the emperor doesn't like it, we can still make money by opening up to the outside world. Think about it, after soaking in the bath and getting a massage on the first floor, and then going upstairs to sleep with Tang Dynasty beauties, Tsk tsk tsk, don't spend a lot of money, don't allow them to go out."

"It's just that the officials like it now. I'm afraid this place will become a secret hall and can't be opened to the public. And the cost is too expensive. I can't afford a second one."

Murong Yanze said: "I don't know if the officials are having fun, can you arrange a fat job for us, like Yang Jian, who built palaces for the officials and earned a lot of money? I hope the officials can see that we are capable Come on, give us a piece of this job."

This piece of fat was in Yang Jian's mouth, Murong Yanze used to snatch it, it was impossible, if the tiger snatched the food, Yang Jian would not let it go, the officials might not be willing, but now, maybe it is possible.

Gao Ming thought for a while, "If you see that the official's face is happy, you can tell him if you want to build a bathroom like this in the palace. If the official agrees as soon as he is happy, it will be done. "

Murong Yanze nodded, "Yes, I must be better than Yang Jian, and earn less money than him."

The two wentssiping again, and found their own rooms to rest until the next day when the sky brightened, and someone came to them and said that the distinguished guest had come out.

The distinguished guest was Zhao Ji, Gao Ming was already sleeping with his clothes on, when he heard this, he sat up and hurried downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw Zhao Ji was letting Yang Jian tidy up his clothes in the hall, so he went up and cupped his hands and said, "Officials."

Murong Yanze also hurried out at this time.

Zhao Ji yawned slightly, and said with a smile, "Who thought of that bathroom?"

Murong Yanze looked at Gao Ming, and Gao Ming said: "It's my minister, because I'm physically weak, I tend to get sick every winter, so I thought about a way, can I build a warm place to stay, it's a coincidence, since I often sweat After steaming, Chen’s health is obviously much better. It’s cool in summer and cold in winter. In a word, it’s worth having.”

Yang Jian wanted to give Gao Ming a wink, but because of the presence of officials, he didn't dare to be too obvious.

"It's really good, and I think it's a good thing."

Murong Yanze saw that the time had come, "Officials, why not build one in the palace, the ones here, to be honest, are a bit petty."

Yang Jian heard that this was a job grab, but it was obvious that the official family loved this bathroom very much, and it was impossible to stop it, so he recommended himself, "The official house, let the old slave build it."

At this time, Gao Ming didn't talk about being reserved any more, he just said loudly, "Eunuch Yang, do you understand how this was built?"

Yang Jian said with a smile: "I also ask Mr. Gao to teach you all."

Gao Ming smacked his lips and sighed, "When Eunuch Yang stretches out his little hand, he really has everything."

Zhao Ji heard the reluctance in Gao Ming's words, it's not difficult to understand, after all, it's their hard work, so he said: "Gao Ming is right, this is indeed what they worked hard to think of, Yang Jian, don't Now that you have learned it, let Gao Ming build it."

Gao Ming hurriedly said: "I only produced the blueprints, and Murong Yanze was responsible for the specific construction. I don't understand the specifics very well. The officials should let Murong do it alone."

Zhao Ji nodded, and said to Murong: "You can come. By the way, I will transfer your Rites Department to the Ministry of Works to specialize in construction."

The Ministry of Rites is poor and busy, but the Ministry of Works is different, it is very fat.

Murong Yanze hurriedly thanked him.

Yang Jian gritted his teeth angrily, but kept smiling on the surface.

After Gao Ming and Murong Yanze respectfully sent the emperor out, they looked at each other and smiled.

Especially Murong Yanze was the happiest, "I didn't get promoted, but I got rich. I won't forget you." But the subject changed, "However, I think what you can get is definitely more than mine. I am happy to marry Di Ji to you."

Ande Diji and Maode Diji are about the same age, and they are both about to leave the court.

"Forget it, my dad told me that I'm not interested."

Murong Yanze snorted and said, "Look at what you said, it seems like the officials have already ordered you."

"Marriage is a two-way demand. I'm just telling you that he doesn't like me, and I don't want to marry. It just so happens that we don't want to see each other. It's very good."

At this time, Cui Niannu came down from upstairs, pointed to the door, as if asking if the emperor had left, Gao Ming nodded, Cui Niannu heaved a sigh of relief, came to the two, and said in a low voice: "Is it really an official?"

Murong Yanze smiled and said, "You've been with me all night, are you still not sure?"

"It's really not like an ordinary person." Cui Niannu said a little tiredly: "He keeps asking who I am."

Gao Ming asked, "How did you answer?"

"I said, I will tell him next time we meet." Keeping the mystery is the most attractive.

Li Shishi can give Zhao Ji a pillow breeze, and now he has such a person on Gao Ming's side.

"I really don't know how to thank Ya Nei." Cui Niannu was grateful to Gao Ming.

There is such a yamen, not to mention making her rich, but also introducing the most important guests in the world to her, saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are reborn parents.

"You do your best to accompany the official family to thank me."

For Cui Niannu's career, if he can catch up with the emperor, he will basically reach the pinnacle of his career.

But Gao Ming's official career has just begun, and he is still far from the peak.

-

Gao Ming felt that the emperor's favor for him should increase a lot if this wave of operations continued.The fact is indeed the case, Zhao Ji felt that Gao Ming's mind was active, so it goes without saying that Gao Ming must be in charge of going out of the palace to the Little Happy Forest. Even in the palace, the number of times Gao Ming was summoned was obvious to all.

Gao Qiu saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. If this continues, why worry that the official family will not marry Di Ji to his son.

And Zhao Ji didn't make Gao Qiu wait any longer. On this day, Zhao Ji summoned Gao Qiu, and after a little discussion about military affairs, Zhao Ji, who had no interest in state affairs, changed the topic to his children's marriage.

"Your son hasn't married yet, has he?"

Gao Qiu was already happy in his heart, and wished he could jump up on the spot. This was definitely the emperor's hint, and he didn't run away after marrying Diji to his son.

"I have never married a wife. To be honest, I have always wanted to find a good marriage for my dog. I have chosen thousands of options but nothing is suitable. If I don't think about it, I will be delayed. He is at the age when he should marry a wife, and I am also anxious. I don't know. Can the official give him a marriage?"

Zhao Ji originally planned to marry the most beautiful Maode Emperor Ji to Gao Ming to show his love for the Gao family father and son, and was about to formally offer the marriage, when suddenly the third prince Zhao Kai said: "It's a pity, An De and If Proud was a little older, I'm afraid it would be commensurate with Gao Ti."

The implication is that it is not appropriate now.

Gao Qiu shouted in his heart, what's the matter with you, King Yun?Aren't you our Jia Ming'er's immediate boss?Your relationship is also very good, why come out to block it?Isn't it good for him to be your brother-in-law?

Because he couldn't understand King Yun's intention for a while, Gao Qiu stared at him blankly.

Even Zhao Ji looked at his son strangely, frowning slightly, at least from his feeling, his son should not object to Gao Ming's marriage to Emperor Maode.

Gao Qiu was in astonishment when he saw Zhao Kai walk up to the official's side and whispered a few words into his ear, but he only heard the last sentence clearly: "...So, it's better not to marry Sister Mao De."

What did you say, how did you come to the conclusion that you should not marry? !

Gao Qiu saw that the official family nodded towards King Yun, and then said with a light smile; "I will consider what the Qing family said about giving your son a marriage, and when there is a suitable one, I will accomplish his good deeds. Okay, nothing to do, let's go down .”

Gao Qiu was stunned. What's going on? Why did the officials suddenly change their attitude when the situation took a turn for the worse? !

He couldn't figure it out, he retreated in a daze, and went straight to the house.

-

The Taiwei's Mansion is close to the Imperial City Division, so every time Gao Ming enters the house first, and Hua Rong arrives home two quarters of an hour after him.

Today was no exception, Gao Ming was already warming up with charcoal fire in the house, Hua Rong came in with a cold air.

"Is it cold outside?" Gao Ming asked while holding the hand stove.

Hua Rong sat beside him, grabbed his hand and pressed it against her cheeks that had been blown cold by the wind, and smiled at him, "What do you think?"

Gao Ming met his eyes and felt sincerely, he looks so delicate.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, bringing the cold wind into the room, while Gao Lian stood outside the door with an angry face.

Gao Ming hurriedly shook Huarong's hand, Huarong's heart skipped a beat, but he had made up his mind and would never back down.

"What's going on?" Gao Qiu rushed in aggressively.

Hua Rong stood up and stood in front of Gao Ming, "Taiwei..."

I don't want Gao Qiu to say directly: "Hua Rong, this has nothing to do with you, don't speak for him." Then he asked his son sadly, "What's the matter with you?"

"I, what's wrong with me?"

"Why did you have an affair with King Yun? Why did he stop you from marrying the concubine? I just came out of the palace, and the official family was about to give me a marriage, but was hindered by King Yun, which made the official family change their minds." .Did you work in the Imperial City Division and broke his rules to make him treat you like this!"

"Di Ji? Interfering?"

Gao Qiu nodded angrily.

Gao Ming frowned, he didn't provoke King Yun, on the contrary, the two got along well, occasionally meeting and chatting harmoniously, he had no reason to spoil his "beautiful affairs."

However, fortunately, it was destroyed, otherwise, wouldn't he want to marry the little girl of Maude.

Thank you Zhao Kai, I want to send him a pennant.

However, as an aboriginal, Zhao Kai should not think there is any problem with his younger sister getting married at the age of 13. Why did he make trouble? !

Suddenly, he seemed to understand.

And I also understood what Zhao Kai meant when he said "this king understands" that day.

Oh my god, because he testified for Hua Rong that day, Zhao Kai definitely thought that he and Hua Rong were a couple, so it's all the same.

The point is that the emperor must have known it too, really, his reputation was ruined.

Want a chance to explain?It can be explained, if he is recruited to be a son-in-law again, wouldn't it be troublesome.

The choice came, whether he wanted fame or trouble.

Eh?However, if the emperor thinks that he has suddenly changed his taste and started to like men, it might be beneficial, at least he will contact Cui Niannu, and the emperor will not suspect him wildly.

And there are some things that can be entrusted to him with more confidence.

Looking at it this way, there seems to be no harm.

Zhao Ji, as an artist emperor, would not be so boring as to gossip about his courtiers. It doesn't matter if Gao Ming is a straight man, as long as he doesn't marry the emperor concubine, he will do whatever he likes, and it has nothing to do with him.

Otherwise, why not explain?

Gao Qiu saw that the situation on his son's face was unpredictable, cloudy for a while, sunny for a while, frowning for a while, and then relaxed, "You figured it out, why did you offend him? Hurry up and find a way to remedy it."

"Probably because he and I were idle and bored and talked about some views on beauties. He thinks I'm frivolous. It's easy to understand that I don't want my sister to marry a dude."

"That Empress Maude was not born to his mother, who would he care who she married?!" Gao Qiu decided that his son had provoked King Yun, "You must know it in your heart, but you just don't say it."

This is true, what can Gao Ming say? If he did, his father would have to explode, "This is the emperor's mind, pulling and beating, giving both kindness and strength, what does he think, you ask me, I will ask who."

Gao Qiu narrowed his eyes, "If you don't tell the truth, I will know sooner or later." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left, stopped suddenly, and said to Hua Rong, "Do you know?"

Hua Rong shook his head slowly.

Gao Qiu sighed, and looked at his son sadly, "You, you, ah!" before striding away.

Hua Rong raised his eyebrows at Gao Ming and said with a smile: "Did the words of King Shao reach the ears of King Yun, what did he think we have? That's why he stopped you from marrying Di Ji?"

Thank you, King Yun, you are truly a sage His Majesty.

Gao Ming glanced at Hua Rong, then looked away, and said vaguely: "Maybe, who knows? Don't guess about the royal family's concerns. You can't understand after guessing. I was asked by my father just now. We're all hungry, let's go eat."

I was hungry again and wanted to eat, Hua Rong thought, if I need anything in the future, I will ask you after you are full.
