The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Gao Ming was about to get into the carriage when he saw Hua Rong riding a horse coming from the entrance of the alley, he couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Why are you here?"

"I'm free to come out to meet you." Hua Rong got off his horse and said with a smile, "I'll come and see you when you don't come back."

"Then ride with me in the carriage, don't ride a horse, it's so cold." Gao Ming asked Hua Rong and himself to get into the carriage, and the two sat side by side.

"It's really not easy for me, running back and forth." Gao Ming complained: "By the way, Shi Jin is still used to it in the army, right?"

"The performance is good. It should be fighting with Liangshan. Later, I developed the habit of living in the army. The feeling is different from when I was in Liangshan. I am a little more stable, um, a little bit." Hua Rong commented.

"That's good." Gao Ming typed lazily.

Hua Rong said: "Chinese New Year is coming soon, what gift do you want? I will give it to you."

"I don't want anything."

Hua Rong raised his eyebrows, "No surprise."

Gao Ming doesn't lack for anything, almost everything that Hua Rong can get, Gao Ming can get at his fingertips.

Gao Ming laughed and said, "Why do you want to give me a gift?" He picked up the jade pendant on his body and shook it, "You gave it to me during the Lantern Festival throughout the year, and I wear it all the time, so don't waste it."

"Since you said so, then I'll save some money, don't give away anything, and save money to buy a house."

Gao Ming's heart was empty, and he hummed: "You should save money to buy a house."

Hua Rong asked him with a smile, "You don't want me to move out?"

Gao Ming yawned again, "I'm sleepy, take a break." He didn't answer at all, leaning his head against the wall of the car, but after a while, the carriage bumped into a pothole, knocked his head , can't help grinning.

Hua Rong took Gao Ming's head and leaned on his shoulder.

Gao Ming raised his eyes and looked at Hua Rong, without any resistance, he just closed his eyes and rested.

-

Zhu Xi didn't gain any advantage in the confrontation with Gao Ming, except that he released his younger brother from the Kaifeng mansion and didn't ask him to spend the New Year inside, and he didn't even hurt a single hair of Gao Ming.

And he directly confronted the saint without discussing with Cai Jing, which also caused Cai Jing, the power minister, to feel resentful. Although Zhu Mane reacted afterwards and apologized with gifts, Cai Jing's attitude has always been indifferent.

Cai Jing more or less remembered in his heart that Gao Ming had helped him get back the birthday card, and the mastermind Chao Gai had died strangely before Zhao An, so Cai Jing thought it was Gao Ming who had no intention of avenging him.

Besides, Gao Ming is a junior, with his father's face, it is not easy for him to exclude a junior. Moreover, he is a prime minister who is under one man and above ten thousand people. How can he please the emperor like Gao Ming, a brat? People don't have the same way at all, so he has a slight liking for Gao Ming, that's all.

Because of Cai Jing's deterrent power, Zhu Xi didn't dare to attack Gao Ming again during the Chinese New Year in Tokyo, and let the plays scolding him continue to be staged in the teahouse, wishing he could leave Tokyo earlier and go back to his own territory.

Yang Jian was different. He held back his energy and wanted to move back to the next game, and finally made a move during the Chinese New Year.

On this day, Gao Ming was escorting in front of Yujia again, together with King Yun, Liang Shicheng, Murong Yanze and Yang Jian.

Yang Jian said flatteringly at the right time: "Official, this old slave wants to present a little thing to the official."

Every time Yang Jian presented something wonderful, Zhao Ji naturally wanted to accept some gifts during the Chinese New Year, "Show them here."

Yang Jian asked the two small yellow doors to come in with a plate covered with cloth, "Guan, this is actually an ordinary decoration."

Zhao Ji lifted the thatch and saw a piece of agate the size of a wax gourd under the thatch.

The whole body is light orange red, crystal clear and shining, and the shape of the stone is even more unique, like a leaping carp.

It can only be seen that this stone is completely natural, and there is no trace of carving on its body.

Gao Ming said in his heart, giving a koi stone during the Chinese New Year really has a good meaning.

Zhao Ji loved strange stones very much, and he didn't even look at them unless they had unique shapes. He naturally liked this stone very much, "It's a clever stone!" He said to the county king, "What do you think?"

Royal father liked it, so King Yun naturally couldn't disappoint, "It's really exquisite."

Gao Ming looked envious, "Isn't this stone expensive?"

Yang Jian had presented a big stone to Zhao Goujin before, claiming to be worth 300 million guan, but Zhao Ji praised him greatly when he heard that it was so expensive.

Therefore, the price of this carp-shaped stone is not cheap. Of course, he exaggerated: "Hehe, it is not expensive. It only needs 200 million guan. That's it, and it is extremely difficult to find."

Zhao Ji nodded secretly, it was worth the price.

"Eunuch Yang is really rich." Gao Ming said with deep emotion: "In comparison, the walnut miniature carving I dedicated to the official family is worthless. It is just an ordinary piece of walnut. The craftsman is also Liang Shanshi's subordinate. He charged me a discounted price. Not to mention 200 million guan, it’s only [-] guan. It’s too rich, too rich.”

Yang Jian hasn't realized what's the problem, because he has done this every time before, and the official has never said anything, "For the official, it is natural to give all the treasures, how can you be like you?" Not willing to spend money."

By the way, he stepped on Gao Ming's foot.

Gao Ming sighed, "I would like to, but my monthly salary is only four hundred guan, when will I be able to accumulate several million guan?"

Murong Yanze said yes, "Eunuch Yang is too rich and generous."

After Gao Ming finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ji, don't you feel that something is wrong?Where did Yang Jian get so much money?His salary as a eunuch is pitiful, and his salary is several million.

Gao Ming thought that Zhao Ji's current affection for him could be that child who pointed out that the emperor had no clothes on, "I'm afraid the wool came from the sheep."

This sentence was only found in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Ji had never heard of it, and for a moment, he only felt that it made sense.

The subordinates were greedy, and the emperor turned a blind eye. After all, no one would do things without money.

But now Zhao Ji's feeling is that Yang Jian's one shot is several million, is it a bit too hard to squeeze his own sheep?

It didn't matter that Yang Jian made great contributions many times before, because there is no such person as Gao Ming, and other people can speak in front of the officials, and it is better to pursue more than less.

And some other people who had no sense of justice, who spoke lightly, attacked Yang Gonggong, and were cleaned up by Zhao Ji, who felt disgusted in his heart.

But Gao Ming was different, Zhao Ji listened to what he said.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of bad things, but you are afraid of bad people.

Now Gao Ming is a bad guy who "gossips" in front of the officials,

The key point is that this villain is also very capable of fighting and has a smooth tongue.

Yang Jian was shocked, Gao Ming, you are not here to grab the bowl of rice from the minister, but you are going to smash the pot after eating, and don't let others eat!

Liang Shicheng looked at the right time, pretended not to understand anything and said with a smile: "Master Gao is really witty, I have never heard this before."

Yang Jian realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The old slave borrowed a lot from the bank to buy the stones, and I also pooled a lot from relatives."

Zhao Ji said coldly: "I know everything, so there is no need to explain."

King Yun looked at Gao Ming as if he was saying, you hate Yang Jian so much?

Gao Ming shrank his neck, pretending that he couldn't understand King Yun's eyes.

King Yun didn't look at him anymore.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything, but the seeds of doubt had already been planted.

After all these people left, Liang Shicheng asked someone to move the stone to the emperor's own bedroom.

Zhao Ji looked at this expensive stone, and the more he looked at it, the more Gao Ming's words came to his ears, "The wool comes from the sheep."

This is a stone bought with his wool.

-

Because the last time the teahouse provoked Zhu's family, Shi Jin obeyed Gao Ming's order and did not go near the teahouse even if he went to the city on vacation.

He entered a restaurant for dinner, and saw several people staring at him and whispering at the stairs.

He felt uneasy, and after taking a few mouthfuls, he got up and left the table. Who knew that the person who was staring at him at the stairs was so bold as to follow him when he saw him go, which made Shi Jin very displeased.

So when he walked into the back alley, he heard footsteps behind him. He stopped for a while, turned around quickly, and grabbed the skirt of a man who was following him, "Who are you and what do you want to do? If it is the Zhu family Yes, just choose a place, fight hard, and don't follow me sneakily!"

"Misunderstanding, we are not from the Zhu family. Our master has someone else. He wants to get acquainted with the young master. If the young master is willing, please come with us."

"Who is your master?"

The man apologized and said with a smile: "My master, I had a relationship with the young master before, you will know when you go."

Shi Jin was skeptical, but he was always bold. If the other party was Zhu Miao's Hongmen Banquet, he would kill them out. The one who should come would always come and couldn't escape. If it wasn't Zhu's family, he was curious about who wanted to see him.

Going to the center of the city in a carriage, the two entered through the corner door of a big house.

It's not the main entrance, and Shi Jin doesn't know what kind of family it is, but judging from the layout of the courtyard and the layout of the artificial mountains and water pavilions in the courtyard, it is definitely a wealthy and luxurious family.

Arriving at a hall, Shi Jin went in and saw a man sitting on a high chair, it was the bearded man he had seen in the teahouse.

Standing next to him were two fierce and strong martial artists, "My lord, are you asking us to compete with this person?"

Prince?Shi Jin was taken aback.

Shao Wang stroked his beard and smiled kindly at him, "My brother is really hard to find. I sent people to search for you in the streets and alleys near this teahouse for many days. I saw you in the teahouse that day. You are very skilled. You What's your name, but a soldier?"

"The villain's surname is Shi Mingjin, and he will be a general in the Xiaorui army."

He's just a general, and his level is not too high, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to be promoted, "Are you good at fighting with bare hands or with knives, guns and sticks?"

"Three-pointed and two-edged knife."

"Oh, this is a rare weapon, and more people still use guns now." Shao Wang saw that Shi Jin had no weapons in his hands, "It seems that you didn't bring any weapons when you came out today, but don't worry, my king has all kinds of weapons at home. There are also three-pointed and two-edged knives."

Shao Wang asked someone to bring weapons to Shi Jin, and said: "You compete with these two men, let me have a look, don't fight with horses first, just fight on flat ground."

Shi Jin was lying when he said that he wasn't nervous. In fact, he still didn't understand the situation, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to drive ducks to the shelves, and the prince asked him to compete.

Shi Jin studied under Wang Jin, the instructor of the imperial army, and learned all kinds of skills. In addition, he conquered Wang Qing and Tian Hu, so he has rich practical experience.

In his opinion, the kung fu of the two martial artists in the Prince Shao's mansion were all beautiful fists and embroidered legs, with empty airs and fast battles. They were knocked to the ground within a few rounds.

"Good! Good!" Shao Wang clapped his hands and applauded, overjoyed.

What a fierce player, it suits him too much.

After all, he unconsciously looked into the side room.

Because he ordered someone to invite his daughter out just now, and let her secretly watch this man's martial arts competition inside.

He met him at a teahouse a few days ago, and he liked him very much.

Now the result came out, Shi Jin's martial arts satisfied him, and his appearance should satisfy his daughter. Isn't this the good son-in-law he was looking for.

Suddenly, he realized an important question, he forgot to ask if this person was married, and hurriedly asked, "Are you married?"

Shi Jin replied truthfully: "Not married."

As the village owner said, who would marry him as a robber?Even Li Ruilan took his money and ignored him when he knew he was a Liangshan bandit.

Later, he went to fight Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and when he came back after fighting two battles, Li Ruilan had already married into a merchant's family and became a child.

Shao Wang was overjoyed, "That's right."

Shi Jin didn't know what Shao Wang thought was right, and looked at him inexplicably.But he also murmured in his heart, could it be that King Shao wanted to appoint a woman to be his wife.

Suddenly Shao Wang frowned, and said cautiously: "Aren't you Duanxiu?"

Shi Jin didn't understand why the prince made such a statement, and immediately said: "Absolutely not."

That's great, that's great, it's not a broken sleeve, no wife, and a general in the imperial army, this matter is settled!

At this time, Shao Wang got up straight and went to the side room next to him. Seeing his daughter sitting in front of the window with frowned eyebrows, he smiled and said, "What do you think of this person?"

Princess Puning really can't laugh or cry, is his father Yue Lao upper body?I have to match her again and again, but after thinking about it, it has been a long time since the last time I failed to recruit Hua Rong, maybe his life was going too smoothly, and his heart came alive again, "Father, I..."

"Hey, don't you, you, you, just say it, this time it's not ugly, right?"

Princess Puning glanced at the young man standing outside the window, ugly is definitely not ugly, not as good as Huarong before, but he is also a man with good features and handsome eyebrows, "Of course not ugly."

If she married such a husband for the first time, she would definitely live an honest life now, and there would be no reconciliation.

King Shao stroked his beard in satisfaction, "Father is also very satisfied, how about recruiting him?"

"But you don't know his details, so you want to marry me off?"

Shao Wang smiled and said: "He is the general of the imperial army, the court has already investigated the details, and there are not too many mistakes."

However, thinking about it, maybe there is something missing, so I told my daughter to wait first, and he went out on his own before looking for Shi Jin.

When Shi Jin saw the prince entered the ear room and came out to look for him, he saw that he had something to say to him, so he went up to him, "My lord

Shao Wangdao: "Where is your family? What were you doing before joining the Forbidden Army?"

Shi Jin didn't dare to hide it, "My family lives in Huayin County. I fell grass in Shaohua Mountain before, and then went to Liangshan to join the gang. After recruiting, I went to fight Tian Hu and Wang Qing. Now that the two battles are over, I was recommended by Mr. Gao to join the gang. the forbidden army."

After Shi Jin finished speaking, he looked up at Shao Wang's face again, and saw that his pampered fair face now turned purple, which was a bit like Zhu Dian's complexion.

"You, you..." Shao Wang felt dizzy.

Shi Jin was a robber before?Later, after being recruited, he joined the Forbidden Army!

How could this be? !

What is his luck?

The first county horse, he likes it, but his daughter doesn't like it because it looks ugly

He doesn't like the second county horse, but his daughter might like it, but it's a broken sleeve

He likes the third county horse candidate, and his daughter may like it too. Unfortunately, he was born as a bandit in Shaohua Mountain and Liang Mountain. Although the officials pardoned his crimes, his wealth has nothing to do with innocence.

How could he marry his daughter to a man who had been a robber? !

Ahhh, why did God treat him like this? !

The face of the prince next to him was a sign of illness, and they all asked worriedly, "My lord, my lord? Do you want to help you to rest?"

"Ben... Ben Wang" He looked at Shi Jin heartbrokenly, and wanted to wave his hand lightly, but who knew that when he picked it up, his whole body became dizzy in the next second, and he fell directly to the side.

"My lord—"

"Father—"

Seeing his father suddenly fell down, Puning quickly put up his skirt and ran out of the side room, went straight to King Shao, and asked anxiously, "Father, father—"

When Shi Jin saw her, he couldn't help being startled, he had never been in such a graceful and luxurious woman, even though she was anxious now, she couldn't conceal the calmness and elegance of a good background.

Princess Puning also looked at Shi Jin, and the two made eye contact, but she had no time to look at him, so she cared about her father's situation, "Do you care?"

At this time Shao Wang was panting with long breaths and short breaths, looked at Shi Jin and shook his head and said, "Go down, thank you for showing me the martial arts competition in the mansion today." Shi Jin wrapped it and sent him out of the mansion.

Shi Jin just felt that everything was inexplicable, for some inexplicable meeting with the prince, for some inexplicable contest, and for some inexplicable reason, he was given money and kicked out.

Just now it was expelled. At the beginning, King Shao himself spoke up, making it clear that he was not allowed to stay in the palace for a while, and his attitude changed when he said that he was a Liangshan bandit.

The big butler sent Shi Jin to the gate of the mansion, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, you are from Liangshan, but if your background is stronger, maybe the prince wants to recruit you as his son-in-law."

The butler has experienced the baptism of Xuan Zan. Shi Jin is better than Xuan Zan in every aspect, but it is a pity that he has been a robber.

Even if His Royal Highness Shao Wang doesn't care about his background, he can't tolerate the former robber as his son-in-law.

After the butler finished speaking, he closed the door.

And Shi Jin was holding the 20 taels of silver in his hand, and walked down the street in a daze.

He seemed to have missed a lot just now, not only the life of glory and wealth, but also the opportunity to embrace a beautiful woman.

Why did I want to be a robber in the first place? !

If there were no robbers back then, maybe we could have had a different and better future!

The delicate and beautiful face of Princess Cai just now appeared in front of his eyes, and he knew that he might never have the chance to get close to such a beauty in his life.

Regret is regret.

"Shi Jin is very strange recently, like a frost hit." Hua Rong said to Gao Ming, it wasn't that he wanted to mention Shi Jin, it was because his expression was so abnormal recently that it was hard for him not to pay attention, "At first I thought it was food It’s not good or it’s being squeezed out, but it’s neither. I asked, but he didn’t say anything.”

"Then I ask?

"You don't need to ask. I asked the people around him. It is said that when he is alone, he often talks about why he is a robber. It would be better not to be a robber. Maybe he was stimulated somewhere. Ask him to think about it alone. harm."

"It makes sense."

"By the way, I have something for you." Hua Rong smiled, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year, how can it be done without something?"

"Don't you say you won't give it away?" When Gao Ming said this, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Send me something? Do you need me to close my eyes?"

"Then close it."

Gao Ming obediently closed his eyes, and Hua Rong asked him to open his eyes after not seeing him for a long time, "Are you ready?"

It was rare for Huarong to see Gao Ming's cute appearance with his eyes closed so quietly, so he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then said after being urged, "Open your eyes."

Gao Ming opened his eyes slowly, and saw Hua Rong sitting next to him, holding something like a picture album in his hand, "This is what I want to give you."

Gao Ming thought that Hua Rong would actually give him a picture book, "What's in it? It can't be a popular drama, such as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's picture book."

Hua Rong smiled and said, "It's not the most popular right now."

"That's right." Gao Ming also glanced at him with a smile, lowered his head and opened the album, this time, it doesn't matter, he was immediately surprised, "This is..."

"I asked someone to draw it. Is there anything wrong with the drawing?"

Gao Ming saw the first page, which showed a group of people watching two people shoot arrows, and among the crowd, there was one standing in the front, waving a fan, clearly dressed as him, and one of the two archers The other one looks more and more like Hua Rong.

Gao Ming was surprised and said: "Isn't this the scene when you and Huang Cheng competed in archery when we were in the Imperial College, and I went to watch?"

"Well, that's right, we met for the first time." Hua Rong approached him and watched with him, "You look back, there are more."

Gao Ming hurriedly turned to the next page, and saw a scene drawn, a big monk was lying in the middle of the road, and a man was hiding beside the other, looking for protection.

This was the second time they met. Lu Zhisen hunted him down, but he happened to meet Hua Rong and escaped.

"Hahaha, that's right. At that time, who would have thought that Lu Zhishen and I have become friends now." Gao Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Rong, "Hey, you were not willing to help me back then."

Hua Rong smiled and sighed, "Yeah, no one would have expected today, at that time they would not be willing to save you, but now..."

"How is it now?"

Willing to give you my life, Hua Rong simply smiled and said: "You know it in your heart."

Of course Gao Ming understood in his heart, his face was full of smiles, he and Hua Rong were so good, there was no need to say it.

Continue to scroll down, there are some scenes of them getting along with each other, such as the Cuju competition and Shi Qian.

"You remember it so clearly." Gao Ming said in surprise, originally he only knew that Hua Rong had a good memory, but he didn't want him to use it in this aspect.

He recalled the dictation and asked people to draw the scenes of the past, just like a photo album recording the moments of life.

"You don't lack anything, what else can I give you, this is the only thing I can think about."

Gao Ming doesn't lack for anything, he must have everything that money can buy, so Huarong can only give him a unique gift, their shared memories.

Every time they saw a scene, the two couldn't help chatting about the past, and gradually didn't even notice the passage of time, and by the time they realized it, most of the day had passed.

After eating, I continued to watch, and unconsciously recalled Liangshan Zhaoan, and the two returned to Tokyo.

After that, Gao Ming found that the number of pages in the picture album decreased suddenly, far less than that in Liangshan, "Why are there so few?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he already had the answer in his heart. Of course, it was because he spent less time with Huarong. He was busy with projects all day long, and he spent less time with Huarong.

Hua Rong said with a smile: "Of course it's because we spend less time together. However, this is only one of the reasons. The other reason is that nothing happens and we live a normal life. I think this is also quite good."

Gao Ming agrees, too, don't worry about it, as before when Hua Rong went to look for him on a snowy night when he was kidnapped and went to Liangshan, it's better to be less likely to happen.

Gao Ming nodded, "Well, anyway, we will be together in the future, and this album can continue."

Hua Rong couldn't help laughing, obviously Gao Ming didn't realize the ambiguity of his words, "We will be together in the future?"

"Yes." Gao Ming nodded.

Hua Rong stretched his arms around him, held the album together with him, and whispered in his ear: "What do you think will happen after this?"

He hoped that he and Gao Ming would communicate with each other and be a couple of immortals.

Gao Mingxin jumped a few beats suddenly, "I will be a high official, and you will be a great general."

Hua Rong hummed, "The future is bright, that's it?"

"Isn't that good?" Gao Ming grinned and inhaled, "After talking so much, I'm already thirsty, please let me get up, and I'll go drink water."

Okay, after I was hungry, I started to thirst again. Seeing that there were no maids around, Hua Rong had to let go of Gao Ming, "Sit down, I'll pour you tea."

But Gao Ming was brought water, he only took a sip.

"I don't know what you think, anyway, I think we will have more unforgettable memories in the future."

Gao Ming didn't doubt this, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit too serious now, so he deliberately changed the subject and joked: "I don't know what happened in the middle, but I know that the last picture must be one person standing next to another In front of the grave."

Hua Rong didn't want to listen, "Can't you say something good?" Although he knew that people are mortal, he didn't want to imagine parting with Gao Ming.

"Just talking. So what are you doing seriously?"

"Then it's not serious. I'll also make an idea. If it's the end of life, it's hard to say who died before whom, but if something happens, it must be me lying in the grave." Hua Rong looked at Gao Ming's eyes, and there was Sincerely, "Because I will protect you, as I said, I will not hesitate to risk my life."

Gao Ming blinked his eyes. He knew Hua Rong was telling the truth, so he suddenly didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and then tried to fool him in the usual way, "I..."

Huarong already guessed what he wanted to do, "Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"Hmph, I didn't guess, I want to relieve myself!" Gao Ming got up and left, went to the door, in the cold winter wind, tried the temperature of his cheeks, it turned out to be a little hot.
