rebirth first official

Li Changzhi had a new assessment of Gao Zhanming. He knew that Gao Zhanming might not be wholeheartedly for the Gao family, but he really wanted to poach Gao Zhanming's corner. It would be great if he could help him deal with the Gao family secretly.It's a pity that Gao Zhanming would not agree.

That being the case, Li Changzhi can't use this person, and it's not good to leave it to Gao Qiang to monitor him, so the best choice is to let Gao Zhanming leave the place of right and wrong in Gyeonggi.

When Gao Qiang found out about this, he was very angry.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but it was just a canonization of Bao Lin who gave birth to a prince. If Bao Lin dared to make a fuss, it wouldn't be a pity to kill him.But Gao Zhanming confessed his crime in public, and many people noticed it.I don't know who spread the news, this matter spread very quickly, and it didn't take long for everyone in the palace to know that Gao Zhanming had written the wrong document for concubine concubine.

Gao Zhanming has only been in the Imperial Academy for a few months. Although he is a new Jinshi selected by Sanyuan Jidi, he is full of controversy. He was clearly rejected by the emperor on the spot in the palace examination before, but he turned around and became the number one scholar. Whether his ternary acquisition is innocent or not has been criticized all the time.This time, he was able to make a mistake even in the imperial concubine's canonization document, and the rumors of right and wrong became even more rampant.

Few people really know exactly what is going on, but people always love to hear and talk about things that involve favoritism, fraud, and oolong chaos.

The Empress Dowager did not allow the palace people to talk about this matter, but she couldn't help people's tongues, Gao Zhanming would be pointed out wherever he went.

So Gao Zhanming was once again called to the Xianju Hall by Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang asked Gao Zhanming, "Why do you take this on yourself?"

Gao Zhanming pretended to be terrified and said: "My nephew heard that this incident was caused by cousin Hua Shang's negligence. The emperor was furious and wanted to punish his cousin. My nephew is only able to be today under the care of the Queen Mother and Duke An. My nephew is heartbroken." I think my cousin must not have done it on purpose, and I heard that my cousin is not in good health. He has not yet established himself as a new official in the Ministry of Rites. If he is punished, what should he do if it makes him feel depressed? Nephew After thinking about it, I can't help but repay my uncle's kindness, so I decided to admit this matter..." If Gao Huashang hadn't been involved in this matter, he might not have dared to do that, after all, it is not easy to explain to Gao Qiang.But now he acted like he was being reciprocated. Although this move was stupid, it could make Gao Qiang not doubt his motives.

Gao Qiang was heartbroken: "How stupid are you? It's not dead, and the emperor dare not judge the case like this! When the time comes, the person who did the wrong thing under his hand will be found out, and Hua Shang's three-month salary will be as high as the sky. And you just entered the Imperial Academy , I have been an official for less than half a year. People in the Ministry of Rites have made mistakes in the ritual system, which is also the responsibility of the subordinate staff. If you write wrong documents, it is all your fault. You have suffered a lot because of the imperial examination. Doubt, now you are putting yourself on the cusp of the storm. The Ai family wants to favor you, but they can't quell the public opinion."

Gao Zhanming hurriedly said, "It's my nephew who didn't think carefully."

Gao Qiang said: "You really didn't think carefully! If you come to Ai's family to discuss this matter first, are you still worried that Ai's family can't suppress the matter? You want to be a hero, and it's your turn to take the blame! This Well done, you pleaded guilty in public and asked for punishment, word has spread, and now even if you say you didn't mess things up, no one will believe you."

Gao Zhanming said with sincerity and fear, "My nephew has disappointed my aunt, so my aunt should punish my nephew."

Gao Qiang shook his head again and again, feeling extremely annoyed.It took so much effort to get Gao Zhanming into the Hanlin Academy with great difficulty, but because of Baolin, the matter was made like this.She wanted to take sides, it would be fine if it was someone else, but Gao Zhanming, if she insisted on suppressing this matter, Gao Zhanming's situation would be even more embarrassing in the future, and he would not be able to suppress the criticism of their Gao family.

Gao Qiang said: "Come on, come on! It is also a filial piety to measure you, and the Ai family will not settle accounts with you. Things have become like this, you have to go home to avoid the limelight, first suspend your job, and live a better life After half a year, Aijia will issue an edict to summon you again."

Gao Zhanming hesitated and said, "Auntie, have I been idle at home for a year or so?"

Gao Qiang glared at him: "Then what else do you want?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Nephew doesn't want to go home and spend time..."

Gao Qiang said: "If you don't continue your post, then you have to issue an order. Wouldn't it hurt your face if you were put down? After a while, the Ai family will call you back and let you be relocated."

Gao Zhanming said: "Auntie, otherwise, just move me now."

Gao Qiang was stunned, and said: "Unless you are released from the capital, it is said that you are relocated, but in fact you are surrendered. If not, how can you explain to outsiders?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Then go out of Beijing. My nephew is willing to go out of Beijing. After all, my nephew is still young and wants to learn how to do things. After two years, the turmoil in Beijing has passed, and my nephew has made some achievements. My aunt will call my nephew back to do things for my aunt."

Gao Qiang was surprised from ear to ear: "Are you willing to go out of Beijing?" These rich and powerful children, who grew up in the capital, which one would like to go out of Beijing?Even the brothers whose family business is located in other towns also want to send their children to the capital. First, the capital is rich and rich, Tianbao is outstanding, and second, being an official in the capital is closer to the center of power.Not to mention the children of noble relatives, even the selected Scholars are desperate to stay in the capital as an official, why is Gao Zhanming willing to go out?

Gao Qiang said: "Think about it clearly, don't be stupid, who can take care of you when you are away from the capital? The emperor is far away, even if we bear the name of our Gao family, it may not be effective outside. Those mountain peasants outside are arrogant Very much."

Gao Zhanming said: "My nephew is not afraid. If I stay in the capital, there will always be people pointing fingers at my nephew, saying that I have no real talent and learning, and they refuse to obey me when I do things, and they treat me in the wrong way. I want to go out Work for a few years and prove your ability. If you can do well, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks when I come back. My aunt's promotion to my official position has also changed her name."

Gao Qiang remained silent, stared at Gao Zhanming for a moment, and said, "You are a person who wants to do practical things. What our Gao family lacks is someone like you. It's a pity that you always focus on farming and land, and doing things in the officialdom." You didn’t learn much about the method, if you learned it, this incident would not happen today. If you can really do something for Ai’s family, Ai’s family will appreciate you even more.”

Gao Zhanming laughed.For Gao Qiang, is it true that only intrigue and power struggle is the real thing?I'm afraid that not only Gao Qiang, but also An Guogong, and even the rich and powerful families of the Zhao family and the Xu family probably have the same thoughts in their hearts.This is the reason why he wanted to release Beijing.

Gao Qiang said, "Are you really willing to go out?"

Gao Zhanming hurriedly said: "Yes, my nephew is always pointed at by others in the court hall, and I am really depressed. It would be good for my nephew if I have the opportunity to go out for a breath of air."

Gao Qiang sighed: "Forget it, you can go back first, and think about it later."

Gao Zhanming thanked him and withdrew.

After Gao Zhanming left, Gao Qiang recalled what he had said before, and was suddenly startled: "You want to prove yourself again? Could this kid do it on purpose?"

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to delve into it.

A few days later, the Ministry of Officials issued an official document to send Gao Zhanmingwai to Jiazhou as a judge.

Ever since Gao Zhanming started using his articles to make a name for himself among the powerful, many people paid close attention to his every move.In just one year, from participating in the scientific examination to entering the Sanyuan and then entering the Imperial Academy, Gao Zhanming's every important move or change of official position was unexpected.Originally, some people speculated that the Gao family would forcefully cover up the matter, and some speculated that Gao Zhanming would be temporarily suspended, but no one expected that he would be demoted from Beijing.Generally, the officials who were demoted from the capital by the left were expelled from the capital because they committed public crimes or lost power and offended the powerful, but Gao Zhan was obviously not.

All in all, the official transfer document from the government has also been issued, and people can only wait and see, waiting for the day when Gao Zhanming will be called back again.

It was still a month before he left the capital to work as a judge in Jiazhou. Gao Zhanming took advantage of this month to handle a lot of family affairs.

The new business he opened last year was very prosperous. The Cuju restaurant and the Malu Village in the suburbs of Beijing have been expanded again and again, and it has become a favorite entertainment for both men, women and children in Beijing. The family and other people ran out of the business, and entrusted him with the business of offering incense to the court. In a year now, he has not only made back his capital, but has also made a profit of a full 2 taels of silver!

Gao Zhanming settled the accounts with Liu Da while he was at home, and made a plan.After he left the capital, he could no longer manage the business in the capital himself, and could only entrust Liu Da with full authority.Fortunately, Liu Da is capable and loyal, and Gao Zhanming was relieved to entrust it to him.

Gao Zhanming said: "I'm outside the capital, you just need to send me the general ledger once a year. You can take care of the business in the capital. I trust you and do it smoothly according to this momentum. When the profit reaches me and As you said, you can expand the scale of the shop. If there is a business that you are sure of, if you don’t have time to discuss it with me, you can let it go, as long as you don’t shake the foundation of our family. Now these outside businesses earn money to support us People in the house, it’s enough for me to go out to facilitate activities, so you don’t have to worry about me. If something really goes wrong in the house or outside the business, go to the next door to ask them for help. In terms of face, they always take care of us."

Liu Da asked, "Where is Madam..."

Gao Zhanming said: "Never let Madam see the accounts, and we must not let her know the scale of our family's business. If she wants to see it, you can change it to her according to the fake accounts Tang Gan made before. She It takes money, but if it's not too much, you can spend it on her, and it won't cost her too much."

Liu Da responded, holding Gao Zhanming's hand with tears in his eyes: "Master, if you suffer hardships outside, you will be fine. I heard that in Jiazhou, the folk customs are strong and it is far away from Beijing. The servant just wants to see it." Grandpa can't even see it."

Gao Zhanming smiled and said, "I'll be back in a few years. If you're really worried about me, take care of these farm shops for me. I'll treat you well in the future."

Liu Da wiped his tears and said: "My lord, take more money and belongings, and bring a few servants. People outside Beijing are vulgar, and I'm afraid I won't serve you well."

Gao Zhanming said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'm not that delicate. Outside of Beijing is no better than in Beijing. If it's too extravagant, what should I do if I encounter robbery? You can prepare more bank notes for me, and just get a few sets of simple clothes. , with money, everything is easy to buy. I only bring one lead crane with me, and I don’t need the rest.”

Although Liu Da said he was reluctant, he admired Gao Zhanming very much, as long as Gao Zhanming ordered, he would do everything.So after he agreed, he immediately went to buy luggage for Gao Zhanming.

Before leaving Beijing, Gao Zhanming visited several elders.Duke An didn't treat him very well, but he wasn't too bad either. After all, he was a direct relative, so he always had to save face.

He went to see Li Wan again, but Li Wan didn't know the truth, and thought that he really did something wrong in the Imperial Academy, so he comforted him, and said that he would write to his friends in Jiazhou, asking them to take care of Gao Zhanming .

Besides An Guogong and Li Wan, Gao Zhanming also visited Su Yu.He has always admired Su Yu's talent and learning, and he was able to succeed in high school, Su Yu also contributed a lot.Although Su Yu was at odds with the Gao family, he still acted impartially. If he hadn't become suspicious of Gao Zhanming's exam papers that day and insisted on a retrial, he might have changed Gao Zhanming's ink papers if someone else changed them. There is nowhere to go even for justice.

When Su Yu saw Gao Zhanming, before Gao Zhanming could speak, he sighed first: "I heard the news that you were demoted from Beijing by Zuo, so I knew why you pleaded guilty in the hall that day." He checked all the things that came up one by one to ensure that the Imperial Academy did not make any mistakes.Therefore, why Gao Zhanming took the crime, he knew very well in his heart.

Gao Zhanming smiled, pretending not to understand, and said: "When I was in the Imperial Academy, thanks to Su Hanlin's care, Su Hanlin was my mentor."

Su Yu stared at Gao Zhanming for a while, and said: "He said at the beginning that you are not a bird in a cage. I still didn't believe it. He said what he said about you, but he actually got it right. He looks at people, and he really winks." .”

Gao Zhanming wondered, "Him?"

Su Yu shook his head, handed him two books, and said, "These are articles and poems I have written over the years, and they have not been made public yet. When you return to Beijing, I want to hear your opinion."

Gao Zhanming thanked Su Yu, accepted the book, and the two left after saying goodbye.

On the day Gao Zhanming left Beijing, he didn't ask anyone to see him off, he only brought a crane with him.He was escorted out of the city gate by the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court, but he didn't go far when he suddenly heard horseshoes rushing behind him, he turned his head and saw that it was Gao Huachong who came.

Gao Huachong galloped all the way to Gao Zhanming and stopped in front of Gao Zhanming. He did not dismount, but looked down at Gao Zhanming.

Yin He was surprised and said: "Second Lord?"

Gao Huachong said coldly: "Get out of the way, I have something to say to him."

The officers and soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but after all Gao Huachong was the son of An Guogong and a man in the palace, even if they were dissatisfied with Gao Huachong's arrogant attitude, they did not dare to make a sound, so they obediently stepped aside.

After everyone backed away, Gao Huachong got off his horse.

Gao Zhanming frowned slightly: "Aren't you working in the palace, why did you come out?"

"I asked for leave." Gao Huachong stared coldly into Gao Zhanming's eyes, "Why do you want to take the blame for my brother?"

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "Second Master wouldn't think that I took the blame because of Second Master, right?" These playboys really gave him a headache, one or two really took him to death, everyone should surround them .

Gao Huachong said slowly, "You left Beijing to hide from me?"

Now that Gao Zhanming is going out of Beijing, he doesn't need to be shy about Gao Huachong anymore, he just said indifferently: "Second Lord has such a big face."

"You!" Gao Huachong glared and said angrily, "You dare to say that you dragged Han Baiyue into the water, and you took the blame for my brother, not for me? You just want me to value you, why do you have to go out of Beijing? You are Want to force me to keep you?"

Gao Zhanming spread his hands indifferently, and said, "Gao Zihui, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you. I'm telling the truth with my conscience. Anything I do has nothing to do with you."

Gao Huachong gritted his teeth and said: "You are talking nonsense! I admit that I have you in my heart, but you have gone too far!"

"You have me in your heart?" Gao Zhanming smiled.He didn't know how the former Gao Zhanming would feel when he heard this sentence, but there was no wave of calm in his heart: "But I don't have you in my heart."

Gao Huachong's face instantly turned pale.Since when did Gao Zhanming get farther and farther away from him bit by bit?He put down all his dignity and pride to come here today, but his pride was trampled on by Gao Zhanming!

Gao Zhanming no longer entangled with him, and when he passed him, he whispered: "The person in your heart, when you push him out, he is already dead. I only give you four words, Take it upon yourself. Goodbye, cousin."

After Gao Zhanming finished speaking, he ignored Gao Huachong, went to Yinhe, turned over and jumped on the horse.

Gao Huachong stood where he was, and could only watch helplessly as the high-spirited Gao Zhanming galloped away.
