rebirth first official

Gao Zhanming came to the outskirts of the city and spent a lot of effort to find the tombs of those two people.After all, those two people were convicted of crimes, relatives and friends did not dare to bury them grandly, they could only be buried briefly in the outskirts of the city, the tombstones were submerged in the grass, it would be difficult to find them unless they searched carefully.

Gao Zhanming came to Zhang Shen's grave and put down the sacrificial food and flowers. Dust had accumulated on the tombstone, so he wiped the dust with his sleeve.Since he is Li Jingruo's friend, since Li Jingruo asked him to visit the grave, he will complete the task.

"Why are you here?!"

Gao Zhanming suddenly heard a startled voice behind him.He immediately turned his head and saw the person standing behind him, he couldn't help being surprised - he never thought that he would meet Liu Shijia in this place!

Liu Shijia stepped forward quickly, seeing the sacrifice Gao Zhanming put down in front of the grave and the tombstone he wiped clean, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Zhanming with complicated eyes.Gao Zhanming stood there in a daze.How could Liu Shijia appear in the outskirts of the city?Then, when he saw the sacrifice in Liu Shijia's hand, he was even more astonished.Liu Shijia also came to sweep the grave?Liu Shijia knew these two people?

"You..." Liu Shijia bit his lips, put down the sacrifice in front of the tomb, and touched the tombstone that Gao Zhanming had wiped clean. "You recognize them?"

Gao Zhanming suddenly remembered that when he was browsing the files at Yushitai, there were records on the files about the backgrounds of Zhang Shen and Xu Rong. The son of Zhenjiedushi, that is to say, he is from the same village as Zhang Shen and Xu Rong, so it is reasonable for him to recognize these two people.In the blink of an eye, Gao Zhanming suddenly understood!This is the bridge Li Jingruo built for him. Although Li Jingruo is not in the capital, he is very clear about Gao Zhanming and Liu Shijia's affairs. He invited Gao Zhanming to come here in the letter, he should know that Liu Shijia will come here.Moreover, these two people should be quite important to Liu Shijia, otherwise Liu Shijia would not come to sweep the grave alone with so many flowers and food.Taking these two as the starting point, Gao Zhanming is likely to be able to improve the relationship with Liu Shijia!If Li Jingruo arranges this way, he must not let him down.

Gao Zhanming was turbulent in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm: "Zhang Shen and Xu Rong are friends of my best friends, that is, my friends." These words are not false.

After a while, he said softly again: "These two are loyal people...I admire them." Gao Zhanming was telling the truth.Zhang Shen and Xu Rong were convicted because of their words, and they dared to oppose the Gao family who overshadowed the sky with one hand. There are articles written by the two of them in the dossier of Yushitai. Gao Zhanming has read them. They are indeed good writers. In the dynasty, maybe he can become a pillar of talent.

Liu Shijia was stunned for a long time, sat down in front of the grave, opened a jug of wine he brought, first slowly sprinkled it around in front of the grave, it was regarded as a toast to the deceased, and then he said to Gao Zhanming: : "Come and have a drink with me."

Gao Zhanming sat on the ground beside Liu Shijia, took a wine bowl from Liu Shijia, Liu Shijia only brought one bowl, and drank by himself...

"Zhang Shen used to be an aide in my family..." Probably because he had the desire to talk after drinking, Liu Shijia finally said after taking a few sips of wine in silence, "Xu Rong is his friend. When I was young, Zhang Shen once taught I read it and introduced Xu Rong to me. Both of them are cheerful people. They took me to many places and told me many stories. Later, they couldn’t stay in Pinglu Town any longer, so they went to I went to the capital to test my merits."

Gao Zhanming didn't speak, just looked at Liu Shijia quietly and listened to him.

"Pinglu Town is an important town on the frontier, valuing martial arts and despising culture, there is no room for them to play. I know that both of them are people with the world in their hearts, and they are not things in the pool. Before leaving, Zhang Shen said to me, If there is anything unfair in this world, then change him yourself, instead of sitting at home and complaining." At this point, Liu Shijia's throat choked up, and he picked up the wine jar and poured it hard.

Gao Zhanming didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"I really didn't expect you to come to visit their graves." Liu Shijia turned his head to look at Gao Zhanming.His face was already a little red from the alcohol, and his eyes were complicated, "Although I still don't like you, I think you are different from the rest of the Gao family."

Gao Zhanming couldn't help but sneered: "You tell me this, are you not afraid that I will say it?"

Liu Shijia looked calm: "I'm just a prisoner of your Gao family now. Gao Qiang and Gao Yuanzhao know very well in their hearts that the people who imprison me cannot imprison my heart."

Gao Zhanming was also a little surprised to hear Liu Shijia directly calling the Queen Mother and An Guogong by their names.In fact, from the first time he saw Liu Shijia, he knew that this person actually didn't have a deep heart, he was a man of temperament, hating was hating, and he would not lie at all, even if it would make his situation better, he would not bother Gu.And such a person, in fact, it is not difficult to get along with each other. As long as one point is compatible, other things that are not compatible will not be so important.

The two sat in front of the grave for a long time, they drank all the wine, Liu Shijia just got up and said: "I don't care why you are here today, but you are willing to come to visit the graves of the two of them, thank you .”

Gao Zhanming said: "No matter why I came, I didn't come here for your thanks. So don't thank me."

Liu Shijia looked at him for a while, laughed loudly, and left with an empty wine jug in his arms: "Let's go!"

A few days later, Gao Zhanming came back from Yushitai and saw Tang Yun sitting in his room waiting for him.

Gao Zhanming asked, "What's the matter?"

Ever since he found out Tang Yun's identity and background, and confessed his feelings to her, Tang Yun became a double agent.While being ordered by the Queen Mother to monitor Gao Zhanming, he will also tell Gao Zhanming what he knows from the Queen Mother.

Tang Yun said: "Today I went to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

Gao Zhanming said, "What did the Empress Dowager say?"

Tang Yundao: "She asked me, what did you do on the eighth day of October?"

The eighth day of October was the day when Gao Zhanming went to visit the grave and ran into Liu Shijia in the suburbs.Gao Zhanming said, "Then how did you answer?"

Tang Yundao: "I answered the queen mother according to the words taught by the master, and the queen mother has dealt with it."

Gao Zhanming nodded: "Thank you."

This Liu Shijia was under house arrest in the capital, he had no freedom, the Gao family was afraid that he would run away, so they sent people to watch him secretly all the time.When Liu Shijia went to the suburbs to visit the grave, it was impossible to hide it from Gao Qiang's eyes.Then Gao Qiang should also know about Liu Shijia's encounter with Gao Zhanming.

If Zhang Shen Xurong was an ordinary person, Gao Zhanming would not have to worry about it, but these two offended the Gao family, and if the Queen Mother knew about it, he would hate to explain his position.So when he got home that day, he thought of a countermeasure. He only said that he heard Liu Shijia mention Zhang Shen and Xu Rong in Zhechong Mansion that day. I got close to Liu Shijia, so I went to their burial place.Gao Qiang was also very clear about Gao Zhanming's affairs, she couldn't figure out when Gao Zhanming would have a relationship with Zhang Shen and Xu Rong, so she believed Gao Zhanming's words.

Tang Yun said: "There is one more thing."

Gao Zhanming wondered: "What?"

Tang Yundao: "When I entered the palace, before I reached the Queen Mother's palace, I saw the emperor walking out angrily, as if he had quarreled with the queen mother. The emperor planned to send Liu Shijia out of Beijing to do something for him, but the queen mother objected."

Gao Zhanming frowned: "Is there such a thing? Are you sure?"

Tang Yun nodded: "I don't know exactly what happened, but the emperor and the queen mother quarreled because of Liu Shijia, I'm sure of it."

Gao Zhanming thought for a while, and said, "Is there anything else?"

Tang Yun shook his head.

Gao Zhanming said: "I see, thank you for the news. You should go back first."

Tang Yun got up and went out.

Gao Zhanming sat alone in the room and meditated.The emperor definitely wanted to let Liu Shijia go. Now because of Liu Shijia's proton, Pinglu Town has a heavy army but dare not act rashly.The emperor had always hoped that someone could restrain the Gao family, and the only thing he could rely on was the feudal town, but the feudal town was restricted by the Gao family, and this balance was very delicate.The fact that Liu Shijia was detained, the Liu family was already in love with the Gao family, because Liu Shijia was the only son of Liu Qiang, the governor of Pinglu Town, and Liu Qiang valued him very much, so as long as he was in the capital for one day, Liu Qiang would always The sun will not move rashly.If you let him go back, it is very possible that the three major towns of Pinglu Town, Fanyang Town and Hedong Town will join forces and even send troops to King Qin.

From Gao Zhanming's standpoint, he hopes that this balance can be maintained.The more the Gao family dominates, the more serious their serious illnesses will be. It would be a good thing if someone can restrain them; but if the day when everyone rises up to overthrow the Gao family comes too soon, he is not ready yet, and the Gao family will not be ready. There's absolutely no benefit either.But this balance is already in jeopardy, and it is impossible to maintain a balance forever. What should I do?

Just when Gao Zhanming was frowning, there was a voice from outside: "Master, are you in the house?"

Gao Zhanming said, "Come in."

Yinhe pushed the door open and came in, and looked back carefully to make sure no one was staring at him.He went into the house and took out a letter from his sleeve: "Master's letter."

Gao Zhanming took the letter and was taken aback.This is a letter from Li Jingruo, but a few days ago, he just received Li Jingruo's letter. It's only been five or six days, why is there a new one?Li Jingruo sent two letters in a row, could something be wrong?
