Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Gong Mengchang has been in the Dudu Mansion for nearly ten years, but even today, he is still a recorder from the ninth rank.

It is also unfavorable in the scientific examination, but the direct descendants of the Gong family can work as officials outside the family by operating in the family. They are the same age as Gong Mengchang, but they have already worshiped the seventh rank. Stand still.

The first two governors of the Governor's Mansion were all old officials who were about to beg for bones. They were unwilling to get involved in the undercurrent of the northern border. They only wanted to be wise and protect themselves. To fight, I stand still.

When the time comes, I don't miss it, hand in the seal "obediently" and leave, leave this troublesome mess to the next one, and return to my hometown to retire comfortably, and when it comes to the northern border in the future, just laugh it off.

This is naturally a good thing for the aristocratic family of Pingwu, but it may not be a good thing for low-level officials like Gong Mengchang.

Shangfeng Yuwang is almost not in the Dudu Mansion, so there is no need to count on it, and Shangfeng Changshi, who watches them work hard every day, does not want to offend any party, so he will not favor any party. .

After two long histories like this, even Gong Mengchang himself has become accustomed to this kind of life of serving the clan and not caring about personal gains and losses, until he met Lin Changshi.

At first, Gong Mengchang was also influenced by the clan, and he had no respect for this young long history in his heart.

——Haven't reached the crown, studied history in Beijing for three years, it can be said that he has no experience as an official... Why are these children afraid of it?

What's more, Lin Hongxiu still has rumors that he fell ill due to rumors, coupled with his meek performance in the Governor's Mansion recently, it is easier to make people feel contemptuous.

But it was this seemingly harmless Lin Changshi who woke up Gong Mengchang with just a few words...

In other words, it awakened the unwillingness and resentment hidden in his heart that he was underappreciated, as well as the ambition of being a side branch but not wanting to be left behind forever.

"I see Mr. Gong has been in the Dudu's Mansion for many years. He is not only extremely capable, but also has rich experience. If he hadn't been able to show his strength because of his concern for this, he might have been on the rise."

——Caring is true, but this "caring" may not be voluntary, but because of the arrangements and requirements of the clan.

"Although my words are small, it is still possible to hand over a letter to Mr. Gong. With Mr. Gong's qualifications, it should be a matter of course for Cao to join the army."

——Of course, it depends entirely on Lin Yanhong's mood whether Di Zhezi says good things or bad things. The Gong clan can send countless collateral children to continue to take on this "responsibility", but he, Gong Mengchang, has only one. Some development, to a certain extent, depends on Shangfeng's likes and dislikes.

"At least count for three years, if you stay in office, it will become six years... For such a long time, Mr. Gong and I must become more and more familiar with each other. I also hope that Mr. Gong, who is quite experienced and capable, can remind me a lot, so that I can get to know him better." If the people of Pingwu can continue to live and work in peace and contentment, they will live up to the emperor's favor and His Majesty's entrustment."

——Chang Shi is so young, taking ten thousand steps back, if he knows how to restrain himself like his predecessor Chang Shi in order to gain a foothold in Pingwu, it might last six years.These six years are enough for Shangfeng, who hates some subordinates, to have a good time with this person.

When Gong Meng often heard such hints that were both soft and hard, his first reaction was not anger, but panic.

Only then did he realize that the Lin Yanhong in front of him was the one who was promoted steadily because of His Majesty's favor, first he was awarded the title of sixth-rank Chao Yilang, and then he became the governor of the governor's mansion when he became a prince!

The other party was not as isolated and helpless as they imagined, not to mention that Lin Yanhong also had a uncle of a third-rank official who was steadily planning for him in Beijing, and he would not let him be trapped in the northern border no matter what.

It is not known whether Lin Changshi will stay or leave three years later, but it is really not something their family can say.

Gong Mengchang can be hostile to Chang Shi because of the clan's plan, but on the other hand, will the clan block the anger of Chang Shi in the future when he finds out that he is controlled by others for such a small side branch?

In the next few days, Gong Mengchang tossed and turned, sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, very entangled.

What made him even more anxious was that Lin Yanhong was not only "close" to him at first, but also very friendly to the other recorder and Cao Canjun.

The so-called people who stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, let alone their own superiors, no matter how contemptuous and muttering those people are in their hearts, at least on the surface they still have to warm up.

Soon Lin Changshi had several figures around him.

At this time, Gong Mengchang began to worry about gains and losses. For a while, he felt that he could easily be "replaced" by others like this, and for a while he felt that this was just a superficial effort.

He originally thought that time was running out and Lin Yanhong would be more anxious, but he didn't want someone to be very calm and even alienate him a bit.

Of course, Gong Mengchang will never know, this is all because a certain His Royal Highness saw that Mr. Chang Shi was getting close to someone surnamed Gong recently, and felt uncomfortable. Don't compromise, keep some distance from Mr. Gong.

……

There is not much progress in raising food, and it will take time to break through each one. Lin Yanhong has to find a way to attack and defend, but he also has to keep his face, which consumes even more effort than the Imperial Academy.

It is obviously not enough to win over these low-level officials, but being able to pry useful and timely information from them is already the most important thing now.

He needs to know what hole cards the opponent has in his hand so that he can deal with them one by one.

Moreover, he still needs a chance to formally "confront" the Pingwu's aristocratic family. Only by facing each other once or twice can he know himself and the enemy.

This opportunity was quickly presented to Lin Yanhong - a centenarian from the Gong family gave birth to a banquet in the village, and invited Prince Yu's son and Lin Changshi.

In Liangzhou, filial piety is the most important thing. Any old man who is [-] years old can ask the court for a seal, let alone a centenarian.

The Gong family attached great importance to this birthday banquet, and in order to show the grandeur, they specially arranged to invite the elders of the Zhang Kingdom in the city to the Gong family together, so as to make a big impact.

His Royal Highness King Yu, the governor of Pingyang, is still at the border at the moment, so the descendants of King Yu attended on behalf of his father and presented the award on behalf of the court.

Shi Linyanhong, the head of the Governor's Mansion, also brought his own congratulatory gifts and came to pay his respects to the Gong family during the whole process.

"His Royal Highness and Chang Shi are here, it really makes the humble house flourish."

Looking at Prince Yu's son and Lin Yanhong who arrived at the Gong's residence almost at the same time, Gong Zhengqian regarded it as a coincidence and did not suspect him.

Today is a happy event for the Gong family, so it is fitting that they come to support the occasion, even if they know that the banquet is not going to be easy, they still have to come.

Gong Zhengqian personally led Yu Wangshizi and Lin Changshi to the room, and met the old birthday star and several old men.

Lin Yanhong was very happy to see that the old people were in good spirits, with a smile on his face.

Gong Zhengqian looked at the young Master Changshi calmly, and only knew that the rumors were true - just from the appearance and temperament, this boy was really outstanding!

A thought flashed through his mind, but because it wasn't the time to talk about something, he didn't open his mouth.

Standing next to Lin Yanhong was Li Jingcheng, the son of King Yu, who was a real royal family, with a strong aura that resembled his father's, and was extraordinary.

One of them is as gentle as jade, and the other is as cold as frost. Of course, it seems that Chang Shi is more intimate.

The Pingwu family did not dare to provoke Prince Yu's Mansion, and kept a close distance from it. In addition, King Yu has been guarding the border all year round, so he has no time to manage the affairs of the city. Both sides have their own "territories", and most of the time they cannot interfere with each other. , It is considered "harmonious" to get along.

But Yu Wang himself and Yu Wang's son were extremely difficult to get along with. Seeing Tian's cold face, coupled with that burly and tall figure, gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The people of the government now feel much more cordial when they see Li Jingcheng, the son of Prince Yu, and then Lin Yanhong.

Really no comparison, no harm.

Gong Zhengqian carefully observed King Yu's son and Lin Changshi, wanting to see if they were really as the children of the clan said, even if they met when they were in the Dudu Mansion, they had no communication at all. It turned out that the two had a conversation except when they entered the door , and there was no more movement after that.

Seeing that Lin Changshi, like them, was also not "favored" by Prince Yu's son, Gong Zhengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it can prove that Lin Yanhong and Prince Yu's Mansion have not teamed up, which is the best news for the Pingwu family.

After seeing Shou Xing and other old people, Prince Yu and Lin Changshi returned to the outside room, not only saw the people from the Dudu Mansion, but also almost all the representatives of the wealthy families in Pingwu.

Prince Yu's son had seen them before, and Gong Zhengqian only introduced and introduced Lin Yanhong one by one.

"I've heard about Chang Shi's reputation, but seeing him today, it's really well-deserved. Pingwu has His Royal Highness King Yu, His Royal Highness Shi Zi and Chang Shi here, and it's really a blessing for us and the common people."

One side was respectful and flattering, while the other side was humble and friendly. You came and went, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

It was inconvenient to talk about official affairs on such an occasion, so the topic naturally began to extend to "private affairs". While talking, someone mentioned Lin Changshi's marriage.

"Lin Changshi was born in a Yunshui family, and his maternal ancestral family is the Qi family of Shuling. With such a style and family background, I am afraid that an ordinary lady from a famous family is not worthy of Mr. Changshi."

Hearing Gong Zhengqian mention his marriage, Lin Yanhong glanced around inadvertently, and found that everyone had very interesting expressions.

——It seems that these big clans in Pingwu intend to test him first, but this way is too...

In fact, Gong Zhengqian just came up with some ideas and planned to take this opportunity to test Lin Yanhong. He was about to speak, but suddenly his back felt cold. Following this terrible feeling, he could only see Prince Yu putting the cup on the table superior.

Seeing Prince Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes were deep and he said: "It's almost time, we are ready to start the banquet."

This is the first sentence His Royal Highness Prince Yu said tonight.With an undeniable aura of coercion.

As soon as His Highness finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After a few breaths, the Gong family came to their senses, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately warmly invited the guests to the table.
