Reincarnated vassal system

Gu Shi'an, Guozijian Jijiu, is from the fourth rank. He has a direct son named Gu Huai, and the Secretary of the General Administration, You Tongzheng, is the fourth rank.

Gu Shiping, the right servant of the household department, is the third rank, has a son named Gu Yu, and the left counselor of the General Administration Department, the fifth rank.

In Duke Wei's mansion, the old lady was sitting upright in Shou'an Courtyard with an unswerving expression on her face. Standing beside her was a handsome young man with a slender figure, and his posture and demeanor looked really refreshing.At this time, he was stroking the old lady's back thoughtfully, "Grandma, don't be angry again, it's not good to be angry."

"Too much deceit!" The old lady was angry at Concubine Hui for losing her phoenix seal, and later handed the sign to the palace. Look, I feel that the backbone is still there, and the imperial concubine is still there. It is only a matter of time to regain Fengyin. That concubine De is just an insignificant concubine. Concubine Hui has dominated the harem for many years, and almost no one can shake her position. Fengyin But it's just a symbol.

The old lady was thinking of comforting herself, but she was relieved to hear such news!

Gu Huai has been promoted again, not to mention that he has reached the fourth rank, but he has joined the General Administration Department, and he has been placed on top of his most beloved grandson, Gu Yu!The old lady was so angry that she almost couldn't hold her breath, and Du Liyu was so frightened that she repeatedly called her precious son back from the yamen.

At this time, the handsome young man standing next to the old lady was Gu Yu. This person followed the Du family's appearance, and he looked like a fairy.Good-looking people are always easier to attract people's love. The old lady has always loved this junior the most. After listening to Gu Yu's persuasion, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still full of depression. "Why did that shabby guy climb on top of you! What does the Holy One think, it's simply too much honor!"

Hearing "Climb on top of you", a dark light flashed in Gu Yu's eyes.Naturally, he would not refute the old lady. Compared with the honor and favor bestowed on people close to Concubine Hui by the Holy Majesty in the past, it was definitely worse than that. Just looking at Gu Yu, his starting point of official career is different from that of Gu Huai There are too many, one is the only three-yuan leader in the Dashang Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the other has never been admitted to Juren, no, it should be said that he has not even been a scholar, and just donated his official position for nothing.A few days ago, the two were officials of the same rank.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, but within a few days, his cousin was promoted again, and became his top leader!

Gu Yu lowered his eyes, "Grandma, remember to be careful with your words, the emperor's holy words are definitely not something we can criticize." He has always been slightly uneasy about the old lady's unscrupulous words.For a long time, Concubine Hui's powerful protection ability has made the Du family develop a supercilious personality. From the time when Shou'an Yuan dared to directly use the rules in the palace, to now she dared to question the emperor, Gu Yu suddenly felt a strong feeling Strong sense of crisis.

The old lady snorted softly, looked at the time, and told Mother Zhao, "Go and call Gu Huai!"

Zhao Nanny readily complied, and proudly took the two maidservants to Dongyuan. Thinking that she could get some money from Gu Huai again, the old woman was so excited that the pores all over her body opened slightly.

In the guest building, Gu Huai was gathering information about the haunting case in the palace. Shang Zhi stood on a low stool beside him, always maintaining a higher angle than Gu Huai, looking down on Gu Huai's every move, pretending to be serious. However, he couldn't hide the young man's vigor.

As soon as Gu Huai raised his head, seeing Shang Zhi's appearance, he suddenly laughed.Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve. "Your Highness, someone asked me to let you open the back door. This is your sincerity."

Shang Zhi looked at the stack of banknotes in his hand, seemed to weigh the thickness and the approximate amount, then took it very calmly, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Gu Huai was a little stunned looking at Shang Zhi's appearance, "You don't ask anyone what's the matter, just take the money?"

"Who is what?" Shang Zhi thought for a while, and asked according to Gu Huai's intention.

Gu Huai: ...

"Well, it's because someone said that they want you to use his family's shop to manage the salt business of the land." Gu Huai took people's money in a bit of a sexist way, "This is my immediate boss, Lord Tongzheng. mean."

As he spoke, he paused, as if he had suddenly realized, "Do you still have a fief?"

Still puzzled, "What's so strange?"

Once again, Gu Huai deeply felt that the golden thighs he hugged were not ordinary golden thighs.

Although Shangzhi is in Huajing, he has never been to his fief, but every year the tax is monitored by a special person, and it is submitted to the capital exactly.Shang Zhi inherited all of Prince Shen's personal soldiers, as well as some private soldiers, as well as the secret guards sent by Emperor Jianyuan to assist him in monitoring the officials.

The land of fish and rice is so rich, the annual taxes of Huaiyang and Yangzhou account for more than [-]% of the national tax, so naturally there are confidantes to control it for him.Emperor Jianyuan gave these two lands to Shangzhi back then, so many years ago he almost made Concubine Hui angry to death.

Gu Huai thought for a while, then directly took out some banknotes that Shang Zhi had already pocketed in his sleeve, counted them and put them back in his arms, "I think you are not short of money, I will charge some agency fees." Gu Huai didn't care whether he planned to do something after getting the money, anyway, he was only in charge of spreading the word.

Touching the treasure in his bosom, Gu Huai suddenly felt—ah, it turns out that accepting bribes is such a refreshing thing—feeling.In an instant, he changed from a poor son of the Hou family, a third-rank official with a clean sleeve, to a poor son of the Hou family and a third-rank official with a small fortune. He suddenly felt that he could understand why the style of the Dashang dynasty was prevalent now.

It's nothing more than the fact that ill-gotten gains are easy to come by.Gaining both power and wealth is just a matter of a high-ranking person easily extending his hand and simply saying a word.

Gu Huai was inexplicably emotional, but although he had not been favored since he was a child, he had seen too many secret affairs of high families, so naturally he did not have the lofty integrity of a literati who "does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice".It doesn't matter if you sigh, what he wants to do has never been done by an upright official.

And since the present Dashang dynasty, are there still upright officials?

He gathered the brochures on the table, browsed through the information, and was groping for some clues when he heard a loud knock on the door from downstairs, followed by the sound of some people entering the room. It sounded like there were two or three people.Gu Huai paused for a moment when he wrote the pen in his hand, and then continued with his own actions.

In an instant, I heard footsteps coming towards the second floor, the steps were chaotic, and I knew there was more than one person.Sure enough, the faces of Nanny Zhao and the three appeared in front of Gu Huai.

"Ahem." Mother Zhao saw Gu Huai, and at the same time, she also noticed Shang Zhi beside him, looking at a child, thinking that Gu Huai really got promoted and made a fortune, and she still had money to buy a bookboy. This thought was just in her head. Turning around in a circle, thinking about Gu Huai's cowardly behavior of rushing into the house without her consent, she felt confident again.

She made a gesture and said, "Third Young Master, Madam, please go to the Shou'an Courtyard." After she finished speaking, she coughed lightly again, but she didn't see any sign from the new little book boy, and immediately glared at Shang Zhi With a glance, thinking that the newcomer really has no eyesight, he coughed twice again.

"Mother Zhao is feeling unwell. If so, it's better to go back and rest earlier." Gu Huai continued to move his hands without raising his head.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huai would have such a reaction at all, Zhao Mama stepped forward and increased the volume, "Third young master, the old lady told you to go over, didn't you hear?"

"Why did grandma call me over there?" Gu Huai asked casually, and with a flick of the pen in his hand, the two names were connected.

"You dare to put on airs, the old lady told you to go there, you really think of yourself as the young master!" Zhao Momo was irritated by Gu Huai's way of ignoring her, and directly stepped forward to plan what Gu Huai was writing. His things were overturned, but after walking a few steps, he was suddenly blocked by someone.

Zhao Momo was short and fat, she looked up and saw that the new book boy next to Gu Huai was blocking her way.She raised two eyebrows, "You dog slave, you dare to block my way, you are tired of living, I don't know who is in charge of the Duke of Wei's mansion, right?"

Shangzhi looked coldly at Zhao Nanny who was shorter than him, with a subtle sense of satisfaction, he directly lifted him up, then walked to the window, and pressed Zhao Nanny on the window sill.Mother Zhao was shocked by Shang Zhi's actions, and screamed fiercely, "Ahh! What do you want to do! Let me go, or you will look good!"

"I don't know who is in charge of Duke Wei's mansion, but it's definitely not you." Gu Huai didn't raise his head, "As for who is getting tired of living, I think no matter who it is, it's not as boring as you, Mother Zhao. After all, not everyone dares to call His Highness Prince Rui a dog slave."

"Prince Rui—" Zhao Momo's voice changed, her entire face faded from angry red to pale white in an instant, "Prince Rui!"

Shangzhi raised Nanny Zhao even more.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The second floor is not high, but it is enough to frighten the fat old woman, looking at Shang Zhi as if she really wanted to put herself to death, She was really scared, and begged for mercy again and again, "My lord! My lord! It's the lowly maid who has developed a pair of tricks, and I didn't recognize the nobleman! My lord, you have a lot, so let the lowly maid go!"

Shang Zhi yawned, feeling that the thing in his hand was a bit heavy, so he changed his hand to carry it, but it almost scared Mammy Zhao to faint.He looked at Gu Huai, "Is this person always so rude to you?"

Gu Huai looked at the personal attribute panel that popped up suddenly by the system, [Mother Zhao, skill: bullying others. 】The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "I really like to bully people." He put down his pen and walked to Zhao Mama's side, "Mommy, do you actually know how to bully people correctly?"

He patted Shang Zhi on the shoulder, and demonstrated "bullying others" to Madam Zhao, "My lord, look, do you want to throw this man away?"

Shang Zhi made a gesture to throw Mother Zhao down.Zhao mama was so shocked that she almost lost consciousness, and she lost control of herself in shock.

Gu Huai frowned, and helped Shangzhi cover his nose, "It smells bad, throw this person downstairs, far away, don't pollute the flowers and plants downstairs."

Zhao Nanny completely fainted.

The two maidservants who followed behind Madam Zhao also collapsed on the ground in fright.Gu Huai saw that Shang Zhi was really planning to throw him away by jumping out of the window, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, I'm just joking, let's throw this man to these two little girls."

Shang Zhi obeyed obediently, and Mammy Zhao was directly thrown on the two maids, and she was almost crushed out of breath.Gu Huai was about to let the two of them carry Madam Zhao away, but his eyes suddenly stopped on the face of one of the maids.

Shang Zhi moved his position silently, blocking Gu Huai's sight.

Gu Huai: "..."

"Don't make trouble, I think this little girl looks familiar." Gu Huai bypassed Shang Zhi.

Shang Zhi continued to block, "I think you look familiar too."

"..." Gu Huai laughed, "I feel like this person made things difficult for me last time..."

Make things difficult!Shang Zhi immediately turned around, glaring.Hearing Gu Huai's words, the maid almost fainted, "No, no, third young master, you made a mistake..."

"I can confirm the voice." Gu Huai nodded, "You were the one who refused to let me in at the gate of Shou'an Courtyard last time."

That maid really wanted to faint, her impression of Gu Huai had already solidified, and she didn't think it was that scary, but just now when Gu Huai revealed Shang Zhi's status as a prince, she almost collapsed on the ground. "Third Young Master...Your Highness, please spare the slut! The slut didn't do it on purpose that day!"

Gu Huai shook his head, "Do you think I'm still a person who can repay grievances with kindness?" He suddenly smiled, "As you wish, I'll spare you, let's go."

The servant girl immediately cried out in gratitude, kowtowed several times in the direction of Shang Zhi, and the other servant girls tried their best to carry Zhao Nanny who had passed out, and rushed downstairs in a hurry.Gu Huai looked at the backs of several people and fell silent, "...you are the one who is grateful, it seems that my master is not majestic at all."

... Do you still remember that you are the master?Shang Zhi didn't speak, but the meaning was conveyed in his eyes.

"Sigh, it's hard for those people to think about me all the time." Gu Huai just said a word, and stopped talking about others.

"How would you like?"

"The person in the second room has the greatest reliance on Concubine Hui." Gu Huai moved the booklet on the table slightly, "But after this case of haunting in the palace, I feel that Concubine Hui is not absolutely strong in the harem."

There is still a meal.

"In the case in the Yining Palace, Li Ci's actions were obviously provoked by others. From the clues she provided and Concubine Hui's appearance at the right time, I think there is a [-]% possibility that Concubine Hui is the mastermind of this case." Gu Huai looked at it. According to the information recorded in the booklet on the table, "The difficulty of the case in the De Ning Palace is completely different from that of the Yi Ning Palace. The mastermind behind the scenes is at least extremely familiar with the palace's location, the patrol time of the imperial guards, and even the empress dowager's closeness with the first-class court ladies and the empress dowager." How can the mastermind know that after the accident in the Yining Hall, the Empress Dowager will move to the Dening Hall, and there is a tree outside the window of the inner hall of the Dening Hall to block the sight of the guards, which ten palaces did the Empress Dowager choose? People are defending the collapse...these masterminds must have calculated clearly in advance."

"Of course, the most likely person who can act is Concubine Hui. After all, she has controlled the harem for ten years. It is not difficult to know these things. But if the two cases are committed by the same person, then in comparison, the first day The case is too rough." Moreover, from the fact that Concubine Hui set up a bureau to use Du Yue and intercepted Bao Zhixian's memorial, it can be seen that Concubine Hui is really not good at using such chain skills.

Shang Zhi lowered his eyes and did not speak.

"So, is there still a power in the palace that is hidden deep in the palace? I think this power has been hidden so deep for many years, and the conspiracy must be not shallow." Changes, the people below should also be unable to hold back."

And he couldn't hold back anymore.He tightly held the pen in his hand, and traced two words in the void.

Gu Lue.

"..." Shang Zhi raised his eyes to look at Gu Huai, his eyes were unfathomable.As if feeling Gu Huai's mood at this time, he put his hand on Gu Huai's, "Are you going to deal with Gu Shiping's family first?"

Gu Huai looked back at Shang Zhi, "I want to start with Gu Yu."

To him at this time, the old lady and the young Du are just clown-like characters, and these backyard women are just dodder flowers attached to men, without the big trees to climb, death is just a matter of time .It would be a waste of expression to face these people directly in the back room, so Gu Huai didn't plan to meet those people.

Gu Yu is in the Department of General Administration, but his immediate superior still has demands on him, isn't that enough?

Gu Yu is in his twenties this year, and he was 13 years old ten years ago, so his memory has long been clear.If Gu Lue's death was indeed planned by the old lady and Du Liyu, it is impossible for Gu Yu to be ignorant of it.

Gu Huai's mood gradually fluctuated, and when he exerted force in his hand, the brush broke suddenly.

Shang Zhi hurriedly picked up his hand and observed it carefully, worried that there would be tiny sawdust at the broken end of the brush that might damage Gu Huai's hand.Looking at Shang Zhi's immature side face, Gu Huai's heart suddenly moved for some reason.

Before he could sort out what was in his mind, You Wu's voice appeared in a very unpleasant way. "Hahahahaha, oh, close contact! Oh, oh, oh-"

Gu Huai: ...

The beast is still just a child!Gu Huai scolded in his heart, but he didn't know whether he was scolding You Wu or himself.

He temporarily put aside his complicated thoughts, but he was still able to joke with Shang Zhi, "Shang Zhi, do you think I should give you a salary, but I don't know how much money I should give for a personal guard like you? "

After checking Gu Huai's hand and confirming that it was not injured, Shang Zhi silently stood back on the low stool, and continued to look down at him with a posture slightly taller than Gu Huai, "My family property is not enough, I don't need it."

Thinking about Prince Rui's fiefdom, Gu Huai remained silent.

Prince Rui is naturally rich and powerful, so he leaned over, "But your lord has been acting as a thug for me, didn't you miss the business?"

Seeing that Gu Huai was so close to him, Shang Zhi turned his head a little uncomfortably, "...I can't keep going." He paused, "General Zhaoyong is about to return to the imperial court, and I will be in charge of the army. northwest."

When Gu Huai heard this, the smile on his face stopped instantly.
