Qingzhou trip

Gongsun Yanghao was nearly [-] years old, and he was rejected several times to resign for the pension. With his white hair, he worked as a minister of the Ministry of punishment for five years and led a bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, so he was considered highly valued.Anyone who knows that period of history knows that in the palace examination, Gongsun Yanghao clearly ranked first, while Zou Shiyan ranked third as a young man.The emperor cherishes talents and loves young people. Seeing that Gongsun Yanghao is forty years old and looks old and ordinary, he abruptly puts him in the position of Tanhua.

The title of "Ugly Old Tanhua, Charming No. 20 Scholar" has followed Gongsun Yanghao and Zou Shiyan for almost 20 years.Perhaps the emperor also felt guilty about this, so he never released Gongsun Yanghao as an official.He started as an editor at the Hanlin Academy, and he has been an official for less than [-] years, and he has reached the third grade, and he is considered a good man on the surface.

He originally thought that he would be able to return to his hometown when he was [-]. He was used to raising chickens, feeding ducks, chopping firewood and carrying water. Even after many years in Beijing, he never forgot.But with a transfer order, he was promoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to the Minister of Rites, and then summoned by King Ying, who was probably enthroned, Gongsun Yanghao felt that he would not be much better than his fellow Zou Shiyan who died outside Shahai City in the future.

Ugly old Tanhua was urgently sent to Luoyang to stabilize the mischievous Jin Wang Zhao Yifang: she directly intercepted Xie Penglai, the magistrate of Shahai County, and welcomed Xie Penglai into the house with gongs and drums while asking for a marriage.The emperor who heard the news was already sick and lethargic, and immediately a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and smashed the medicine bowl to ask King Ying to "clean up his sister".

Why does it have to be Gongsun Yanghao?King Ying hesitated a lot about this candidate.This person neither voted for Lao Fan of the Privy Council, nor was he close to Lao Lu who was under Zhongshu's sect.Even if he was wandering outside the temple, he was appointed by the emperor himself because he was not biased in his handling of affairs.What's more, he was the teacher of King Ying, and he was sent to help both public and personal affairs.

However, Zhao Yifang wouldn't be able to make such a fuss if she could clean it up well.If Gongsun Yanghao's trip didn't make sense to King Jin, King Ying said, "Hide the beauty in the mansion, and send it out after a few years when King Jin is fresh."

Guessing outside is just three sentences, Jin Wang will suppress the big trouble in Luoyang, he will push back those who watched the excitement, and cover up the leaked rumors, and he has to be polite not to offend this tigress , after all, she is Prince Ying's own sister.Nothing should hinder King Ying's ascension to the throne.

Gongsun Yanghao rode a donkey into Luoyang City. After moving in, the post officer was still half-believing, and finally convinced that this man dressed like a country old farmer turned out to be a dignified third grade.

"Please don't make any noise. I just want to rest for two days. I am too old to travel." Gongsun Yanghao's wrinkled smiling face made people feel close.He first went to Nanshi, which was closer to his foothold, to verify the rumors he had heard in Beijing: Xie Penglai was carried into the King of Shang's courtyard in Jiamaying by the front door in eight sedan chairs.He invited the imperial family and Zhixijing Liusi Zhao Yu to the banquet, but was pushed away by his saying that "the illness is unknown", and he only sent Liusi Yushi Kang Jie to give a congratulatory gift.It is said that the reason for the congratulatory gift was Shang Wangming's birthday, and the wedding was not mentioned at all.

Celebrating Shang Wang Ming's birthday was aimed at King Ying's face, and not mentioning King Jin's marriage was a slippery and old-fashioned move, but it seemed to make King Jin Zhao Yifang angry.She set up twenty porridge sheds in the city, celebrated the wedding with relief, and set off fireworks in the city for three consecutive nights to make it known to the world.

Gongsun Yanghao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Such a big formation?" It seems that His Royal Highness King Jin is determined.

"It's more likely to marry a concubine than any other family." The tea daddy who was chatting with him said.

"Marry a concubine?" Gongsun Yanghao pinched his goatee and thought about the unmarried affairs of King Jin when he was young, "Side concubine."

"Isn't that a concubine?" Papa Chashui has been a bachelor all his life. Although he has heard of marriages between men and women, it's the first time he saw such a huge movement. Otherwise, the position of the prince will not be kept." I don't know where the wind came from, so that all the old men with tea in the market knew the difficulty of King Jin.

The first time Gongsun Yanghao saw the name "Xie Penglai" was when he was still an examiner in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There was a female master in that small northwest town who hadn't been promoted for many years, but she took care of everything cleanly and properly.Under her rule, the population of Shahai, which is adjacent to the enemy, has increased year by year, and its wealth has continued to increase.He gave it a high grade in the course examination review, but he still saw this person sitting firmly in the post of chief bookkeeper every year, and he was only promoted to the county magistrate last year.

Curiously, he looked through the archives of previous years' exams, and found that apart from himself getting a first-class grade, the rest of the department officials also gave good reviews.But when you reach the position of minister or above, just treat this person as air, and give him a mid-criticism.

This kind of strangeness did not come to him until he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: the land of Shahai was guarded by the Bai family for generations, not seeking talents, but seeking safety. "Since he has done a good job, let this person continue to take care of it. If you really want to be promoted, where should you put a person?"

Hearing about Xie Penglai and King Jin again, Gongsun Yanghao felt that the Bai family hadn't told the truth.A 30-year-old female candidate, what kind of relationship with Jin Wang can make her fall here?Thinking a little deeper, why King Jin stayed in the sand sea seems to be deliberate.

"Then Xie Penglai also agrees?" Gongsun Yanghao muttered.

"There are more women than men these days. It's not easy for a girl to marry a rich man, so why don't you sharpen your head and become a concubine or side concubine?" The old tea man kept complaining in a few words.Gongsun Yanghao smiled slightly, put down the copper coins and left the tea stand.

Xie Penglai naturally disagreed, and found himself in the carriage after waking up.Zhao Yifang lay down beside her with her face propped up, looked at herself quietly and said, "Master Xie, after listening to me, you can blame me..."

After finishing speaking, Xie Penglai still didn't speak, just lowered his head and closed his eyes, pretending that Zhao Yifang didn't exist.After traveling for fifty miles, he sighed, "What if the imperial court comes to cut down the title?"

Zhao Yifang took Xie Penglai's hand pitifully, and felt embarrassed after being pushed down by Master Xie, so she had to forcibly comfort him under Xie Penglai's gaze, "Tai-zong's lineage is not very populated now, and they can pry soldiers everywhere. Other than Brother himself, I am the only one left. If my Jue is cut off, who will stabilize the Northwest?"

"The more this is the case, the more careful your words and deeds are, Your Highness. How can you embarrass King Ying?" Xie Penglai knew that Zhao Yifang didn't want her to be a hostage in the capital, but considering the overall situation, it was absolutely difficult to agree with King Jin.

"Then let him cut it." Zhao Yifang smoothed out the wrinkles on her sleeves, and said angrily, but there was a gamble in her heart that she didn't say.

Xie Penglai was speechless, the wise and calm King Jin who came to the city would ignore him once his mind got hot, King Jin let her down this time.

"It's all about going all out." Zhao Yifang turned over and squeezed into Xie Penglai's arms recklessly, "Master Xie is a hostage, and I also want to stand on my own. Master Xie is by my side, and the imperial court still wants to cut me and force me. Why don't you put Master Xie in front of you?" , I look day by day and there is hope."

Xie Penglai was half-suffered when he was squeezed by King Jin who was soft in his arms. While blaming himself for being unable to bear it, he asked with a sigh, "What does Your Highness expect?"

"Finally I have a home." King Jin looked up at her, his eyes shining brightly, "Master Xie, if it's me, Zhao Yifang, or my grandmother, it's not easy to live in this world. If you have a country but no home, don't be cold and majestic." Now, I have Master Xie, and I feel very at ease. I know what Master Xie is worried about, and I am also reckless in acting this time, so how about just thanking Master and trusting me once?"

How do you believe it?This thought came to Xie Penglai's mind.

"Show it to the world, only...maybe I will be wronged and thanked my master for a while." Xie Penglai understands that the wronged King Jin said is nothing more than status, nothing more than gossip.Forced to this point, unless she jumped off the carriage and went to Beijing to report her mistakes and admit her mistakes, she didn't know what Zhao Yifang would do next.

Then he swallowed his breath and went back to Luoyang all the way to Luoyang with a Laipi King next to him.On the first day, Zhao Yifang took her to a secluded house deep in Jiashanfang, and Xie Penglai knocked on the door under King Jin's encouragement.The one who opened the door was his mother whom he hadn't seen for many years. Xie Penglai was stunned, but he couldn't see King Jin when he turned around.

The narration with his family somehow made Xie Penglai make up his mind, and he married Jin Wang lively and lively in front of the King of Shang tablet.That was the end of the matter, and the ugly old Tanhua came to the door.

After two days of inquiring, Gongsun Yanghao understood that he couldn't hold back, drive him away, or get rid of this matter. It was spread all over Luoyang city and outside of this strange marriage.What he can do right now is to persuade Jin Wang and Xie Penglai to understand the general situation, and to blur the marriage into "nonsense". "At that time, His Highness and Lord Xie will be free to advance and retreat." However, Xie Penglai's official career has been ruined.

When the quick thinking old Tanhua was thirsty, Xie Penglai refilled his tea in person.He politely bowed his head halfway to express his gratitude, his eyes quietly glanced at the innocent King Jin, and then at Xie Penglai with a spring face, expecting them to tell the truth.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" He asked King Jin with a smile.

The tigress pushed the cup towards Xie Penglai, "Thank you, master, for tea." Those eyes would be warm when looking at Xie Penglai, Gongsun Yanghao insisted in his heart that this was not a play, but a fake.King Jin came back to his senses, and turned to Gongsun Yanghao, "Brother recommended Lord Gongsun to Luoyang, and I know his painstaking efforts."

This sentence made Gongsun Yanghao feel relieved, but he saw King Jin reaching out to him with his palm facing up, "Master Gongsun, don't hide it, brother, why did you ask me to bring it? It can't be just these few words."

Xie Penglai also looked at him with a smile, and almost stretched out a hand.

Gongsun Yanghao paused for a moment, and his face straightened, "Know the left-behind division of Xijing, control the northwestern states and suppress the Rong army." At this time, King Jin seemed to let out a sigh of relief, but Xie Penglai frowned.

Gongsun Yanghao's old eyes shined brightly, "Xiliao is making moves on the border, and the clans are also fighting openly and secretly and have not given up fighting for the crown. They are only queens and concubines. Compared with the stability of the Northwest, His Royal Highness King Ying does not lack the mind to accommodate this special case. One point, at this juncture, please don't make any noise, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and rush to Shahai immediately. I'm afraid Yanzhou is already fighting, why don't His Highness go to fight for it?"

This is the purpose of Gongsun Yanghao's visit this time. He bowed to Zhao Yifang and Xie Penglai and prepared to leave, "I still have one more word to convey to His Highness and Lord Xie. If you dare to be the first in the world, you often have to die for the world."

Xie Penglai sent him to the door and stood there for a long time, King Jin grabbed his clothes, "Thank you, Master..."

"Your Highness, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the emperor's heart cannot be gambled." Xie Penglai's eyes turned hot, "Xie is willing." She saw that King Jin took good care of his parents, sisters, and family, and moved them early to avoid future troubles. I am very grateful to Luoyang and enter the northwest at any time.In this chaotic world, two brothers and sisters, King Jin and King Ying, were tempting each other, and they accidentally pushed her out as a whetstone when trying to find a trick.Obviously King Jin has taken a big risk, and she really can't think of a better way to achieve both.

"Brother, I didn't agree with it earlier. I will fight back, and I also said something about robbing the marriage." King Jin's fingers trembled, "He was happy to see me as a woman who was greedy for love, so he dared to hand over the Northwest. It's really not sure if you hide it from Master Xie."

"But His Highness will be stable in the northwest in the future, so it's hard to guarantee that His Highness King Ying will use this marriage to make trouble." Xie Penglai's tone was so gentle that King Jin wanted to cry.

"So...that's why I said," Zhao Yifang murmured with tears, and Xie Penglai answered softly, "So you said that every day you look at Xinan, he dares to make trouble, and I'm by your side to plan together, right?"

Zhao Yifang walked back to the northwest with a knife and a gun without moving, stepped on the edge of the cliff and finally turned around, and then pulled Xie Penglai to her side.The two of them sighed at the same time, Xie Penglai asked, "Your Highness, are you a person who is greedy for love?"

"What kind of person Xie is, I am." Zhao Yifang and Xie Penglai clenched each other's hands, "Brother underestimates women."
