rebirth first official

Yinhe walked in, put the letter on the table, saw that Li Jingruo was also in the room, and didn't want to say much, so he bowed and left.

Gao Zhanming took the envelope and looked at it.This letter is a secret letter from the imperial court. You can tell from the specifications of the envelope. The official seal of the government is printed on the envelope. This kind of letter is often delivered by special officers and soldiers, who are guarded along the way to ensure that the letter will not fall into the hands of thieves.Anyone who dares to steal such secret letters will be punished as treason.

Li Jingruo glanced at the specifications of the envelope and understood it in his heart. He got up and walked to the side, admiring the flowers on the window sill.

Gao Zhanming glanced at Li Jingruo who was facing away from him, hesitated for a moment, and opened the letter.

There was still a seal in the official envelope, so he cut open the envelope with a knife and took out the letter inside.Unsurprisingly, the end of the letter was inscribed in high characters, and the letter was sent from An Guogong's mansion.

There are a few usual greetings at the beginning, which are nothing more than polite words such as my nephew, Zhan Xinjia, and seeing letters like seeing people.But the polite words are not long, there are only two or three lines in total. After all, Gao Yuanzhao and Gao Zhanming really don't have a deep friendship that is worthy of Gao Yuanzhao's thought and pen and ink.After two or three lines, we get to the point.

Not long after, Gao Zhanming finished reading the letter. The contents of the letter both surprised him and were within his prediction.He flipped back and forth, laughing.

Li Jingruo was still on the window sill pretending to be flirting with flowers and grass, Gao Zhanming thought a little bit, and said, "Brother Yaoran."

Li Jingruo turned around.

Gao Zhanming shook the letter paper in his hand: "A letter from Mr. An Guo."

"Oh?" Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows. "Is it a New Year's greeting? Brother Jun Liang has been away from Beijing for a few months, and Duke An misses you a lot. The affection between uncle and nephew is touching."

Gao Zhanming said: "Are you worried...it's not much. What this letter is talking about is business."

Li Jingruo said: "That is brother Jun Liang's first entry into the officialdom, and Duke An is quite concerned about his nephew's performance. A while ago, I passed a brochure to the capital, in which I roughly mentioned brother Jun Liang's achievements, and counted the days." , Zhezi should have entered Beijing a while ago. The emperor and Duke An must be very pleased to know your achievements in Jiazhou."

Gao Zhanming asked him, "Do you want to see it?"

Li Jingruo was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Let me read the letter from Mr. An to your family. This... is not good. Or, in Jun Liang's heart, I am already my family?"

Gao Zhanming calmly stuffed the letter into the envelope: "That's fine." Li Jingruo is a smart person, and he has nothing serious to do when he stays here. When the letter came in just now, if he really wanted to avoid suspicion, he could leave In this room, he just pretended to stand at the window. After Gao Zhanming read the letter, it would be rude if he didn't say something to him.Now Gao Zhanming took the initiative to show him the letter, but he still pretended to be indifferent.For this guy, Gao Zhanming sometimes grits his teeth with hatred!At this moment, his intention was not fulfilled. Since he wanted to be polite, let him be polite and tell him to scratch his heart and liver!Whoever told him to say something badly, he deserved it!

Li Jingruo strode forward, snatched the letter that Gao Zhanming hadn't stuffed back into the envelope, and said, "Madam is willing to share with me the letter from my uncle's family. If I refuse, it will seem out of place. I brushed Madam's face." With all my heart, what should I do to make Madam sad? That being the case, I'd better read it."

Gao Zhanming said indifferently: "I don't see you, I was rude. How dare you bother Brother Li with a mere letter from home? Let's forget it." As he said that, he was about to take the letter back from Li Jingruo's hand.

Li Jingruo hid the letter behind his back, and smiled affectionately: "Madam, you are awkward again."

Gao Zhanming felt a chill, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.Well, comparing eloquence with Li Jingruo, he is beyond his control!In terms of the skills of disgusting people, if Li Jingruo is the second, no one dares to claim the first!

Li Jingruo picked up the letter, the letter from An Guogong was not long, so he read it after a quick glance.After reading it, his expression was unpredictable: "Mr. An wants you to collect criminal evidence of Liu Taishou?"

Gao Zhanming shrugged.

The so-called collection of criminal evidence is really too polite.Who in this world is really clean, so that people can't grasp the slightest clue?Even if he didn't pay attention to a dream talk while sleeping, and was overheard deliberately, making a big fuss, he could still commit a serious crime of punishing the nine clans.What Gao Yuanzhao meant was to ask him to accuse Liu Rukang of the crime and take the opportunity to bring Liu Rukang down.

Gao Yuanzhao definitely didn't mean this letter alone, he could figure out who was behind it even with his eyes closed.At the beginning, Gao Qiang would transfer him to Jiazhou Mansion far away from the capital to become an official, he still felt a little strange.Gao Qiang is a man with a strong desire to control, and he is unwilling to keep everything under his nose. Gao Zhanming finally earned a chance to leave the capital, and he was worried that Gao Qiang would put him around the capital to monitor his actions. Knowing that he was sent far away to Jiazhou Mansion, he was overjoyed.However, after learning about the relationship between Liu Rukang, the prefect of Jiazhou Mansion, and the Zhao family, Gao Zhanming figured out Gao Qiang's intentions.No, he had just been cleansed for a few months, and the Gao family couldn't wait.

Li Jingruo put the letter back on the table: "What does Brother Jun Liang plan to do?"

Gao Zhanming closed his eyes.He has complicated emotions, and he really can't tell what it's like.After coming and going, the Gao family still used him as an eyeliner.When he was in the capital, he was asked to monitor the emperor and Su Yu, and when he left the capital, he was asked to collect Liu Rukang's criminal evidence.

After a while, Gao Zhanming sighed: "Why do you need to ask more questions?"

He showed the letter to Li Jingruo, and his attitude became clear.

In fact, if we talk about Liu Rukang, there is nothing to hate. As a member of the third rank of the court, this guy is really a bit small.There is also a problem of partial listening and partial belief.He didn't know what kind of people Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo were like before, and after hearing some rumors from outside, he had a prejudice against them. Such a person is actually somewhat incompetent as an officer.But people are not sages, and there is nothing wrong with them.At least Liu Rukang has a heart for the people and is not afraid of power. As a parent official, he is more dedicated than many eunuchs, and he can correct his mistakes, and he has no pretensions of an officer. Let him be the eunuch. For the people, his merits outweigh his demerits .But the Gao family doesn't care what kind of person he is or what he has done. Just looking at his background, they already regard him as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly.

In fact, not only Liu Rukang, but also not only the Gao family, how many dignitaries in the court are not like this?Even the emperor who suffered from it was the same, because Gao Zhanming was a direct descendant of the Gao family, he gave him the test in public.Such an imperial court... is really chilling.

Li Jingruo observed Gao Zhanming's face silently, seeing him like this, he stopped talking, walked to Gao Zhanming's side, spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen, thought for a while, and began to write eloquently.

Gao Zhanming looked over curiously, only to see that Li Jingruo had written hundreds of words in a short time.

This is a letter to Gao Yuanzhao, written by Li Jingruo in Gao Zhanming's tone.The first few lines are also polite greetings, saying that he is thousands of miles away, and he misses the elder brothers in Beijing very much.It's not too much to say, Gao Yuanzhao sent two lines to greet Gao Zhanming, and Li Jingruo wrote three lines in his reply letter, which is regarded as courtesy.

The following content is about Liu Rukang and Jiazhou.In his letter, Li Jingruo wrote about how Gao Zhan was neglected by Liu Rukang when he came to Jiazhou in the early Ming Dynasty. His tone was full of resentment, and he portrayed Liu Rukang as a narrow-minded villain.After writing the whole article, there are hundreds of words of accusations against Liu Rukang, but they are all trivial matters, and the key points are not mentioned.This article was submitted to the Empress Dowager and An Guogong, just to make use of it, but they couldn't find any mistakes that could remove Liu Rukang from his post.

After Li Jingruo finished writing, he put the pen aside and turned his head.Gao Zhanming was very close to him, when he turned around, Gao Zhanming felt a warmth brushing his cheeks, and it was Li Jingruo's lips that touched his face.

Gao Zhanming was reading the letter seriously, and was caught off guard, startled, and quickly took two steps back.

Li Jingruo laughed loudly: "Isn't Madam very calm on weekdays, why aren't you used to being close to your husband?"

Gao Zhanming's face was slightly hot.In the past, if Li Jing made any offensive actions, he did not seem to be surprised at all, because he was prepared, even if there were ups and downs in his heart, he would not show it on his face.It was really not well prepared just now, which made him appear to lose his composure.

Li Jingruo said: "How about this reply letter?"

Gao Zhanming nodded: "Very good!" It has to be said that Li Jingruo is really a cunning person. This letter was submitted, at most, it was because Liu Rukang was a bit weak, and as the governor of a state capital, he left Gao Zhanming alone for a few days. Can this be considered a sin?It is understandable to let Gao Zhanming hang out for a few years.Although Liu Rukang once refused to use Gao Zhanming's policy, Gao Zhanming was just a judge. What he did was beyond his authority, and no other officer would use it. What's more, Liu Rukang not only implemented Gao Zhanming's decree, It has been quite effective, and it is still a great contribution to the famine control. The process is not important, and the Gao family can't borrow the problem if they want to use it.The most important thing is that this letter made Gao Zhanming feel as if he and the Gao family were fighting against each other, and showed his dissatisfaction with Liu Rukang. It could reassure the Gao family of him and let him continue to "monitor" Liu Rukang in Jiazhou!

Li Jingruo said triumphantly, "For husband to solve a problem for madam, madam will be rewarded?"

Gao Zhanming sneered and said, "Order the cook to give you a delicious meal tonight." Then he sat down at the table, spread out a piece of letter paper, copied and polished the letter written by Li Jingruo, and wrote back to Gao's family.

Li Jingruo put his chin on Gao Zhanming's shoulder, and said in a sad tone, "Madam is so cruel."

heartless?He can be more cruel!

So the poor Dudu Li was kicked out of the study by his wife on the charge of obstructing official duties.

Gao Zhanming was in the room, re-wrote a reply letter to An Guogong, just put it in the envelope, and heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Gao Zhanming said, "Come in."

People from outside opened the door and came in. Well, it was Li Dudu who was not favored by his wife and had a sad face.

Gao Zhanming laughed and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Li Jingruo condemned him silently with his eyes, and after a while, he said in a normal tone: "Prefect Liu sent a chariot to pick you up, saying that he has something to discuss with you."

Gao Zhanming was quite surprised, put away the letter, got up and went out.

Gao Zhanming came to Liu Rukang's residence in a carriage, and Jia Cheng took him directly to the study, where Liu Rukang was waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Zhanming noticed that Liu Rukang's expression was rather strange.Liu Rukang cleared his throat and said after a while: "A letter came from Beijing today..."

Gao Zhanming was shocked, thinking that Liu Rukang already knew about Gao Yuanzhao's letter to him!However, Gao Yuanzhao's letter was sent in an urgent seal. When Gao Zhanming opened the letter, he made sure that the letter had not been opened by anyone. Liu Rukang probably didn't know the content of the letter.But not necessarily, after all there is another Zhao family behind Liu Rukang, the Gao family and the Zhao family have been fighting each other for a long time, monitoring each other, could it be that the Zhao family is better and already knows the intentions of Gao Yuanzhao and Gao Qiang?

Gao Zhanming was thinking about how to answer, but seeing Liu Rukang pull out a letter from under the table, he couldn't help being startled.What Liu Rukang said was not Gao Yuanzhao's letter to Gao Zhanming, but his own letter!

Liu Rukang hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to pass the letter to Gao Zhanming, but he took his hand back and said: "Some people in Beijing are prejudiced against you. The reason why I misunderstood you before was because I listened to slanderous rumors. In short... ...Although Jiazhou Mansion is the territory of Lao Tzu, I also believe that you are not some frivolous person with a false name, but Jiazhou Mansion is so big, it is inevitable that no one else has eyes and ears. In short, you should be careful in the future and don't be caught. Handle. Of course, I appreciate you and know that you are capable, so I will naturally protect you."

Gao Zhanming stared at Liu Rukang blankly.

Liu Rukang thought for a while, tore up the letter in his hand in front of Gao Zhanming, and said, "Okay, there is nothing else, just to remind you. Go back."

Gao Zhanming had mixed feelings in his heart, thanked him, and went out. , He left the prefect's mansion, before getting into the carriage, looked up at the sky, and let out a long sigh.This troubled world...the road to go in the future may still be long!
