The latter looked at him.

"Hong Yuelian was born in a poor family, so he naturally knows what those poor children think in their hearts. It is nothing more than self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace!"

"The four words "loyalty and dedication to the country" in the minds of scholars are stronger than those of those warriors!"

"Furthermore, His Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to them now, but he is afraid that if he pulls a finger, his whole body will be affected. If a poor family's children gain power, one death is really just one death..."

Chapter 259 Shadow of the Moon

In the end, Hong Yuelian still didn't have dinner in the palace, and the concubine Huan came at the right time, holding Hong Yuelian's long-lost Dahongpao in her hand.

"Mistress Lao, don't worry."

Hong Yuelian bowed his head and took the robe brought by Concubine Huan with both hands.

"Master Hong is really bothering you. This is going around in the officialdom, and it will be third rank and first rank. I am afraid that I will need to serve it for you a few more times in the future."

Concubine Huan said, with a slight smile on her face, Hong Yuelian could only smile when she heard it, and dared not refute.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

In the imperial palace, one would rather offend the emperor than the famous concubine Huan in the harem.

"Okay, Lord Hong, you still want to stay and let me greet you for dinner?"

Seeing that Hong Yuelian was a little embarrassed, the emperor took advantage of the situation and gave him a step down.

After the latter gave his farewell ceremony, he retreated slowly, and after leaving the door of the imperial study, he could not see Concubine Huan, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl was beautiful, and her abilities were not bad, when Hong Yuelian was still a petty official in the harem.

Now that little official with sesame seeds and mung beans has become a first-rank red robe, but he still knows that the women in the palace are not to be messed with.

It's not a question of whether a tiger is a tiger or not.

But the tiger can eat people and spit out bones, while the women in the palace cannibalize people and even chew the bones, and there will be no dregs left for you.

After leaving the imperial study room, Hong Yuelian quickly left the palace along the original road, and met the eunuch who followed the emperor and called for the morning court.

The latter had sharp eyes, saw the wooden box of clothes in Hong Yuelian's hand, moved his heart, and came up to him with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhuangyuan for his return to the high position. Our family said in the past that the first-rank Dahongpao Others may be downcast, but Mr. Hong is not extraordinary."

"My father-in-law won the prize."

Hong Yuelian resumed his usual face of being flattered and humiliated in the court, and took out some scattered silver from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch.

"This period of time is still thanks to my father-in-law's care."

With some polite words in his mouth, the eunuch smiled and took the few taels of money.

As a courtier of the emperor, especially the accompanying eunuch, such scattered pieces of silver are not even enough for the gap between his teeth, but he is still very happy to accept it.

After all, Mr. Hong was known for his incorruptibility in the imperial court, and he had never embezzled a single coin from his father.

It's not that he has confiscated such clean money, it's just that he has collected very little, and most of them are poor scholars with low ranks.

I think that my heart is like a rock, and I can resist the prosperity of the world, but after all, it is because I stand too low and see too few temptations.

For example, Master Hong, the eunuch really thinks that this is the appearance and character that a scholar should have.

Unyielding, able to stay in the world but detached from the world.

In this dirty officialdom, there are not many people who can keep clean and clean.

Moreover, he was still the first rank in the dynasty, even Feng Yuesheng did not dare to say that he was cleaner than Hong Yuelian, because he had more or less used his power for personal gain.

"It's almost evening, and the palace will also have a curfew, so there will be no adults left in our house."

"I will take my leave. If I have a chance in the future, I will invite my father-in-law to come to the house to talk about it."

Before the two left, they exchanged a few polite words with each other, and then parted ways.

Hong Yuelian was holding the robe of a first-rank official in his hand, but he felt somewhat regretful in his heart.

At that time, he shouldn't have given away all the money in his sleeves. He could have rented a carriage at the market price...

Hong Yuelian left the palace, and Gu Changan returned to Zuixianju just in time for dark.

After a busy day, the harvest is great, but to be specific, it is ineffective.

He verbally pulled two first-rank officials to stand behind him, but after all, it was just a verbal agreement that he had only seen two or three times.

To put it bluntly, no one can trust anyone.

"How is it? I heard that after visiting Mr. Hong's house, he immediately went to the palace, until just now, and then came out mysteriously holding a wooden box."

Shen Mourn welcomes Gu Changan in. Drunken Immortal Residence should close its doors at such times, but it always makes an exception because of Gu Changan's late return.

If it wasn't for the rich money, the proprietress alone would be enough to talk about them behind their backs.

"If the guess is correct, it should be the official uniform he will wear tomorrow, but it is different from the current one. In that box is a red one, big red!"

Gu Changan said.

Shen Mourn was a little stunned when he heard that, now this first-grade product is so easy to get?

That Hong Yuelian looked like a rigid scholar, but now it seems that he is also a man with good hands and eyes.

It can be said that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

Called Zui Xianju to prepare some meals, Gu Changan, who hadn't eaten all day, still wanted to taste the taste of the world.

He casually tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken to tease Ruru, but the little girl looked at him like a fool, making Gu Changan unable to get off the stage.

"Prepare for me the official clothes I will wear tomorrow, and I will go to the morning court tomorrow, but I will probably resign after I finish."

Gu Changan cleared away the food on the table like wind and clouds, without wasting a bit.

"If you want to leave the capital, you should inform His Majesty in advance."

Shen Mourning reminded.

"I know. It's just that I really don't want to go to the harem for a second time, so let's take advantage of tomorrow morning to leave. Anyway, everyone who needs to see has seen it, and everything that needs to be said has been said."

Gu Changan only felt exhausted in his heart.

I really don't know how those big conspirators persisted in plotting various tricks in this temple day after day, year after year.

"Let's rest early today, and we'll go back to Qingyang Prefecture when we're almost ready tomorrow!"

After Gu Chang'an finished speaking, he planned to go back to his room, but the little girl stopped him when he arrived.

"Big Brother, will Master and I go back with you?"

Gu Changan looked back at her and smiled, "If you don't mind, Qingyang Prefecture Xuanjing Division will be your home from now on."

Ruru was heartbroken, but she knew she shouldn't make her own decisions at her age, so she trotted back to her room to inform her master.

Gu Chang'an smiled, turned around and opened the door to enter.

And on the roof of the Drunken Immortal Residence, there was a figure standing straight under the moon, with a longbow behind his back.

"My lord, Hong Yuelian has stood firm now, but Jin Youde has some clues, so he can't see clearly."

Looking carefully, it turned out that there was another person half-kneeling on the roof.

"These things are recorded in the book, and when we go back, we will report to Lord Zhen Fushi together."

Li Xiaocao said expressionlessly.

It had been a while since he had appeared in the Drunken Immortal Residence, his face was slightly pale, his breath fluctuated, and he seemed to have been injured.

"Then...will we still follow tomorrow morning?"

"No need, that old fox in the palace doesn't like other people's prying eyes, you go, be careful to lose your life there."

"My subordinate understands."

……

Chapter 260 Old Fox

The next morning.

The eaves of Zuixianju were covered with a layer of pale frost, which awakened Gu Changan who was in a light sleep.

looked at the sky.

The clouds in the eastern sky are already slightly bright, but there are still stars and moons in the sky on the other side.

Gu Changan got up, quickly changed his clothes, and ran to the side of the road to order a bowl of bean curd without disturbing anyone.

The taste is slightly different from the one in memory, but every time Gu Changan tastes these human fireworks, he can truly feel the vitality flowing in his body, so that he will not doubt whether he is still alive.

A bowl of bean curd was tasted very slowly, under the disgusted eyes of the stall owner, Gu Changan put a silver coin.

The stall owner's gaze changed from disgust to admiration, with a smile on his face, like seeing his own father.

But the kind of simple and honest temperament of the common people made him unable to put up the face to curry favor in front of him, so he could only ask the guest officer what else he needed with a simple smile.

Gu Chang'an really wanted to tell that person that he needed some answers.

But in order not to let people mistake him for a psychopath, he kept silent and left with a smile.

The stall owner sighed a little while looking at Gu Changan's beautiful back.

I only hope that there will be more customers with such stupid people and rich money, so that I can renovate my old yard as soon as possible.

The bean curd stall owner who got a windfall was beaming with joy and high spirits.

But Gu Chang'an, who was about to go to court at the moment, couldn't really feel his emotions.

I don't know if there is a shadow on the carriage, this Mr. Gu walked towards Xuanwumen along the morning light, walking very slowly with his hands behind his back, thinking about something in his mind.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu."

On the way, gradually some colleagues in official uniforms who went to court with him greeted him.

Even if he called out his name, he couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm.

In the court yesterday, this person surnamed Gu stole the limelight.

After finally arriving outside the Xuanwu Gate, the bustling civil and military officials at the gate began to chatter and discuss endlessly.

The carriages of Mr. Feng and Mr. Jin haven't come yet, only a regular carriage parked in the distance.

It was Hu Youliang who walked out.

"Hey, Mr. Gu also got up early today, why do you have to do morning exercises today? You don't even have a carriage?"

Seeing Gu Changan, Master Hu was quite surprised and said with a smile.

Gu Changan smiled and said: "I got up early today, so I just walked all the way to Xuanwumen, but the carriage didn't keep up."

Hu Youliang catered a few words, and in the eyes of outsiders, the two chatted very happily.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a somewhat novel carriage, I'm afraid these two people would be able to talk about the opening of Xuanwu Gate.

"This...couldn't it be that Mr. Jin is rich and powerful, and changed another carriage? But the style doesn't look like him..."

Hu Youliang also noticed it, and was thinking about it.

At this time, the carriage stopped suddenly, and a man in a red robe and official uniform slowly stepped down from it.

It was Hong Yuelian!

Hu Youliang only felt as if he had been hit with a sap, and his head was numb.

What's the matter, yesterday he was still sneering and sarcastic, Master Hong, who was wearing a blue official uniform, changed overnight and returned to the position of a first-rank official.

"Looking at Mr. Hu like this, is the news a bit blocked?"

"Master Hong stayed in the palace for the whole afternoon yesterday."

"After staying in the palace for an afternoon, did you become a first-rank official from a third-rank official?"

Hu Youliang suddenly remembered that yesterday in the early court, he said that as long as he confessed his mistake to the emperor, he could return to his position as a first-rank official.

But at the time, the original intention was just to make fun of it, but who would have thought that it would hit the mark!

"It's all thanks to Mr. Hu's golden words. If it wasn't for the morning court yesterday, when your lord reminded me to admit my mistake to the emperor, where would Hong Yuelian be today?"

Master Hong walked over with a smile on his face. Although Hu Youliang accompanied him with a smile on his face, he was extremely resistant to daily in his heart!What's new?Since childhood. Talk group. Stay.Stay (nine! Eight? Zero two, zero, five? Eight [five six).

He always felt that as long as the other party stood in front of him wearing a red official uniform, it was Hong who was slapping his face hard.
