The rise of the president in the harem
Chapter 49 Jinjiang Literature City, Ah Can
Seeing Gao Yue shaking her head, the Empress Dowager said: "Nowadays, the case of Gu worms has caused everyone in the harem to be in danger. Since Xilan is the natural enemy of Gu worms, everyone in the palace cherishes it, but it is very difficult to cultivate Xilan. There are many flower gardeners in the harem. There is no way. The Ai family thought of you. You are a good boy, and the Ai family thought that it would be better for you to teach them how to grow this flower. It is also a blessing, do you think it is good?"
Gao Yue: ...
All right, then I'll open a training class on growing flowers!
He said: "Thanks to the empress dowager's love, how dare Gao Yue refuse to follow, then I will call the gardeners in all the halls of the harem to tell them how to raise this Xilan."
"Okay, okay, you go to work on this matter first, this employment list, Aijia will take a good look at it, this person is old, his eyes are always not so good." The Queen Mother smiled, watching Gao Yue get up and salute. At the gate of the palace, he picked up the list again, and said to Yu Zhu, "Check each one and see what they are all about."
Gao Yue left Yongshou Palace, walked towards Jingyang Palace, and said to the two little eunuchs Xing and Fu beside him: "Go and ask the masters of each palace and palace to bring the gardeners in their palaces to arrive in an hour. Come drink tea in Jingyang Palace."
The two young eunuchs are now blindly worshiping Gao Yue and obeying his orders. They didn't waste a second after listening to his words, and immediately split up and acted.Now that the harem is forbidden, after the happy couple left, Gao Yue walked slowly on the empty palace road alone.Whenever there were guards standing at the gate of the hall he passed by, they would take the initiative to bow and salute when they saw him. The respectful attitude surprised Gao Yue.
However, after thinking about it, Gao Yue understood why this respect came from. It was probably because he stepped forward to block the blood gu attack for many people on the day the file was on fire.Indeed, since that day, when meeting palace people in the palace, many of them would take the initiative to run over to salute him even if they were far away, and looked at him with reverence in their eyes.It seems that he is now a blessing in disguise, and has accumulated some prestige in this harem.
This progress is not bad!Gao Yue is very satisfied.
Nowadays, many palace people in the harem are envious of those who can work in Jingyang Palace, because I heard that Gao Shijun never treats people in the palace harshly, not only rewards and punishes clearly, but also never loses his temper like other palace masters.In addition, in addition to the basic salary as an errand in Jingyang Palace, there are additional rewards for outstanding performance.Working in Jingyang Palace doesn't even need to curry favor with the stewards like other palaces, because Gao Shijun's assignments are clearly divided into tasks, and they can be completed according to the quantity and quality every day. As long as there are no mistakes, no one will make trouble.
Such a master, such an errand, such a life in the harem, is simply something that many people have never dreamed of.Therefore, unknowingly, entering the Jingyang Palace as an errand has become the longing of all the palace people.And the palace servants who have become poor in Jingyang Palace have also unconsciously become the envy of others, which invisibly inspired the enthusiasm of everyone in Jingyang Palace, making them cherish their current life very much .
Gao Yue is still wondering these two days, thinking that I have never painted cakes for this group of people, why do they all seem to be beaten every day, even the little eunuch who is in charge of cleaning can hardly He is full of drive, obviously he has just taken over the Jingyang Palace for a few days, is he still sluggish?
However, it is a good thing to be motivated. Gao Yue is too busy with things in a day, but I hope they can keep it going.It is also because of this that it is almost impossible for other palaces to prepare a tea party with the scale of the entire harem in one hour, but for the people of Jingyang Palace, as long as Gao Shijun asks, we will definitely do it!
Therefore, when concubines from all walks of life in the harem brought gardeners to Jingyang Palace for a banquet, what they saw was an orderly and ingenious arrangement——
Six rows of long tables were placed horizontally in the courtyard of Jingyang Palace. The chairs in the first three rows were pasted with the titles of concubines, such as Concubine Shu and Concubine Han. , the last three rows are the same as the first three rows, but the words of XX hall gardener are pasted on the chairs.And on the stone steps at the main entrance of the main hall, there is a screen, a large white paper is hung on the screen, a desk is also placed beside it, and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone is also placed.
This is of course Gao Yue's meaning. Since it is a centralized training without a projection screen PPT, at least a 'blackboard' and a 'podium' are required to be decent.Moreover, Gao Yue felt that the empress dowager's handing over this matter to him meant a test.After all, after he finished speaking, if Xilan in each palace and palace still couldn't support them, it would be inevitable to shirk responsibility on him. In order to prevent this from happening, Gao Yue planned to let everyone who participated in the training take notes from the very beginning , not only had to take notes, but he had to personally write all the main points on the big white paper. After the training, the two eunuchs Xing and Fu arranged for the people in Jingyang Palace to copy a few more points, and each palace issued a copy of the standard. Version, if there is still a need to support at that time, case by case, we can deal with it separately to save trouble.
I have to say that Mr. Gao's meticulous thinking is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As soon as Gao Yue's training started, Anri sent the news to Zhou Feiqi at the same time.Anyway, now that Gao Yue is in the palace, there is no need for carrier pigeons to report in the dark day, so it is natural that everything can be done in detail. He told the emperor all the novel arrangements of Gao Yue's training. After he finished speaking, he thought the emperor would ask some more questions. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor remained silent for a long time, and anyone could tell that the Emperor was in a daze as if he was in a daze.
What is Zhou Feiqi thinking?He remembered that once he went to that person's company to find him, and happened to meet that person was holding a mobilization meeting for the newly promoted management.At that time, he remembered that the person was standing on the stage, with a large screen projection behind him, and a hundred or so young people sitting in front of him, all of them were full of vigor and light in their eyes, looking at that person intently, showing obvious admiration and longing .
Because it was a semi-open meeting place, he was lucky enough to listen for a while, only to realize that the person in working condition was very different from when he was in front of him—that person was not only witty, but also very skilled in telling various jokes. It easily mobilized the overall atmosphere of the venue, made everyone laugh and gained recognition at the same time, and the applause did not stop throughout the mobilization meeting.
It is true that men are most attractive when they are in business.Because of this, he found that the more he understood him, the more he felt that he couldn't extricate himself from his fascination. He even wondered why there is such a perfect person in this world, and this person is actually his lover...
……
Seeing that the emperor had been silent all this time, he couldn't help calling softly, "Your Majesty?"
Zhou Feiqi came back to his senses, nodded at him, raised his hand and said: "I see. You go." Watching the dark sun fly away, Zhou Feiqi thought, maybe he really should invite Gao Yue to stay by his side for a while , Take a good look at some habits.
But in this way, some impulses that he had managed to suppress in the past few days, he was worried that when the two became more and more alike, he would lose control first...
Gao Yue spent an afternoon teaching the concubines and gardeners a "biology" lesson. After sending the concubines away, he arranged for someone to copy the notes he had spoken today and compile them into a book.In fact, these few days are very tiring, but Gao Yue insists on copying Buddhist scriptures for half an hour every night before going to bed, just for meditation.
Jingyang Palace is now in full swing in the eyes of the people in the harem, but the two eunuchs Xing and Fu are worried these two days. The reason is, of course, that His Majesty the Emperor has not come to look for their servants for several days. They have served the emperor and slept.
Xiao Xingzi discussed with Xiao Fuzi, saying that the emperor will not come to Jingyang Palace, they should persuade Gao Shijun to go to Jiyang Palace or Yushu, even if they send a bowl of mung bean soup, at least they should use some means to maintain favor.Otherwise, if the emperor forgets about their servants, what will happen if they continue to settle down like this?
The two of them did what they said, and Xiao Xingzi went to the small kitchen to find the chef and said this, the chef immediately understood, and prepared a box of cool and refreshing pastries, served with a cup of fragrant mung bean soup. A late night snack couldn't be more appropriate.
Xiao Fuzi took this opportunity to go to the study.It was already time to light the lamps, and the lights in the study room were flickering, and the warm light was overflowing. Their family servant was wearing a moon-white gauze robe, with a satin blue headband casually falling on his shoulders, sitting upright behind the desk , writing with lowered eyes, fully concentrating on writing.The light fell on him, and the gauze ribbon seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold, which made the whole person mysterious and solemn.
Xiao Fuzi stared blankly for a long time before stepping forward lightly. Gao Yue looked up at him and said, "Why, what happened?"
"No," Xiao Fuzi said quickly, and then he didn't know what to say.He scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, hesitated for a long time and finally choked out a sentence, "Your Majesty, will Your Majesty come to Jingyang Palace today?"
Gao Yue thought that he had something to hide. After hearing him finish this sentence, he only took a deep look at him, then continued to copy the scriptures, and at the same time chuckled lightly, saying: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you still want to His Majesty?"
"Ah?" Xiao Fuzi hurriedly waved his hands, "I don't deserve to miss Your Majesty, my servant! I'm worried that you miss Your Majesty!" Then, he took two steps forward and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, how about you?" Have you missed Your Majesty?"
"Think about it," Gao Yue said casually without raising her eyelids, "Is there anyone in the harem who doesn't want His Majesty, how normal!"
Little Fuzi obviously didn't notice Gao Yue's mood, only hearing this, his eyes lit up immediately, and said: "Then, would you like to visit His Majesty? The chef made supper, would you like to give it to His Majesty to taste?"
When the word 'not going' came to his lips, Gao Yue suddenly thought of something and suppressed it.He put down his pen again and looked at Xiao Fuzi, and sure enough, he saw the uneasy expectation on this little guy's face—he thought, probably because he had been spoiled all the time before, and he was so popular that he was only a few days old now. Tian didn't stick with Zhou Feiqi, and even the most capable little eunuch around him was worried that he would fall out of favor. This is really... well, it's hard to describe.
However, now he still has a reason to stay in the harem, even if it is to put on a show to appease people's hearts, it seems that the so-called "fixed favor" method has to be played.In all fairness, Gao Yue was actually mentally prepared for this situation early in the morning.It's just that in the past few days, he was busy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait and see what Zhou Feiqi's attitude was. Now that several days have passed, if Zhou doesn't move, then I can only move.Because, he always felt that Zhou Feiqi was avoiding him on purpose, although he didn't know the reason, but if it was true, it would be very difficult for him to test further, I hope it was just an illusion.
Thinking of this, Gao Yue simply put away the scriptures and stood up, saying, "Get ready to change."
When Xiao Fuzi heard the words, his small face turned into a flower with a smile, and he quickly nodded "Yes!"
When Xiao Xingzi saw Xiao Fuzi running out outside the door, she knew it was over by the happy look on her face, and hurried over, the corners of her mouth were about to split behind her ears.Since it is to send supper to the emperor, it is natural to make up for the emperor. If the emperor looks happy, maybe he will stay with the emperor to sleep!
Therefore, Xiao Xingzi took out the pink and white gauze robe that Gao Yue wore to the banquet at Fushou Pavilion that day. He remembered very clearly that His Majesty said that he likes his servants to wear pink!The two young eunuchs dressed Gao Yue enthusiastically.Gao Yue cooperated very well throughout the whole process, but the expression on his face was faint, which made people look at him, and it was just a little hard to understand his thoughts.
However, Gao Yue's indifferent expression was just right when the pink robe was on his body.Xiao Fuzi even felt that anyone who wore this gauze robe would inevitably add a charming atmosphere, and it was only his family's servant who could give out this refined temperament in life!
After everything was settled, Gao Yue asked, "Do you know where His Majesty is at this time?"
Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "I have inquired about it, Your Majesty has already returned to Jiyang Hall."
"Well," Gao Yue shook his sleeves, and said, "Then take the supper you prepared, and let's go." Xing and Fu immediately smiled, took their things and followed Gao Yue out the door.
Ordinarily, the harem is still forbidden, and the palace people should not walk around freely, but Gao Yue seems to be a special case. Whether he leaves the Jingyang Palace or comes to the Jiyang Palace, the whole journey is unimpeded until he arrives at the Jiyang Palace In the courtyard, Eunuch Zhang didn't look surprised when he saw him, as if Gao Yue should have a place in the Jiyang Palace.
"Please trouble Eunuch Zhang to report to His Majesty, Gao Yue asks to see you."
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in Tangchi at the moment, it is better to go to the side hall to rest for a while, and let the slaves go and have a look."
"Well, that's fine too."
Gao Yue went to the side hall, and Eunuch Zhang hurriedly trotted straight to the Tangchi. He didn't dare to go in casually when he was outside, so he just whispered something outside the screen, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao is here!" '
There was a sound of water soon behind the screen, followed by the sound of steady but hasty footsteps, but the sound stopped halfway before approaching, Zhou Feiqi finally spoke, but asked: "What did he say?"
Eunuch Zhang said with a smile in his voice, "It is said that he brought supper to His Majesty!"
There was no sound on the other side of the screen, and Eunuch Zhang couldn't see the emperor's expression. He was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out why it was so rare for Gao Shijun to take the initiative to see His Majesty. Why was His Majesty so silent?Could it be too surprising?
He was thinking about whether to ask again, when His Majesty the Emperor finally said, "Changing clothes for me."
With this sound, others may not be able to hear His Majesty's happiness and anger, but Eunuch Zhang, who has served Zhou Feiqi for many years, has keenly noticed that the Emperor's interest does not seem to be high.What is going on between these two people?
After Zhou Feiqi was fully dressed, he summoned Gao Yue in the main hall of Jiyang Palace.
Gao Yue was dressed in pink, carrying the food box with her own hands, and just stepped into the hall, Zhou Feiqi felt her heart skip a beat.
The eyes of the two met unexpectedly in the air, Gao Yue's eyes were filled with a thin layer of smile, but Zhou Feiqi hurriedly moved away.Seeing this, Gao Yue lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart. It seemed that her intuition was still accurate——Zhou Feiqi was avoiding him on purpose!
But why?
Obviously everything was normal before, and he even felt that Zhou Feiqi liked him a little bit, but ever since they shared the bed that night, Zhou Feiqi felt different things the next day.If he really likes it, since he took the initiative that night, shouldn't he take this opportunity to further their relationship?No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be the reaction of 'hiding'?
You know, evasion is also a kind of soft rejection. Although it is not as straightforward as direct rejection, the retreat, hesitation and careful consideration in it are more tormenting, okay?
Thinking of this, Gao Yue felt angry again for no reason.He thought, could it be that the emperor has become suspicious and worried that he must have ulterior motives for being so proactive?Then he really thought too much, I just think you have similarities with my partner, otherwise, who would want to spend so much time on you, the stallion hero!
Zhou Feiqi gave Gao Yue a seat without waiting for Gao Yue to complete the salute. Although he was expressionless during the period, Gao Yue discovered that he was peeping at him several times. How can I say this reaction is both hateful and cute...
"It's been hot these days, and I brought mung bean soup to relieve the emperor's summer heat."
Gao Yue sat under the high steps of the main hall, although it was the first place, but this position was at least two meters away from Zhou Feiqi's main seat.It was the first time for Gao Yue to enjoy such treatment in Jiyang Palace, and of course it was also the first time for him to be so far away from Zhou Feiqi.Although he still had a smile on his face, there were inevitably mixed feelings in his heart.
"Yue'er has a heart, Eunuch Zhang will bring it up for me to taste."
Eunuch Zhang stood aside with his head bowed. This was almost the first time that Gao Yue was forcibly pulled in when Gao Yue was alone with the emperor. Although he had never seen the scene of Gao Shijun and the emperor alone in the past, but today's atmosphere is even if he is alone. The bystanders also saw a bit of deliberate alienation.However, he is the emperor's close servant, even if he has doubts in his heart, he dare not speak casually, naturally he should do whatever the emperor asks him to do.So, he quickly took the food box from Gao Yue, and served the chilled mung bean soup to the emperor.
Zhou Feiqi took the cool jade bowl, couldn't help but look up at Gao Yue, thinking that although a bowl of mung bean soup is nothing, but the coldness should be frozen all the way, this carefulness alone is really rare.My intuition is indeed correct, Yue'er really has to show favor to me - if he is not the one in my heart, this debt will be really hard to pay, what should I do?
Zhou Feiqi drank mung bean soup, and Gao Yue sat down and watched him quietly—Chen Qian had a habit of drinking soup, porridge and tea, whether it was cold or hot, as long as it was served in a bowl, he would drink it before drinking it. Blowing twice is like a subconscious habit. It is said that he was scalded by hot soup when he was a child, and that was his experience before he went to kindergarten.Gao Yue remembers that because of this habit, the kindergarten teacher reminded Chen Qian several times, but every time Chen Qian told the teacher very confidently: "My mother said, you must blow on something before drinking, so that your tongue will not hurt. up! '
Thinking back now, Chen Xiaoapeng at that time was so silly and cute!
Zhou Feiqi knew that Gao Yue was looking at him, but he still lowered his eyes and pretended to concentrate on the bowl of mung bean soup in his hand. He subconsciously blew twice on the green soup in the jade bowl, and the soup was thick However, Zhou Feiqi didn't know that his two blows made waves in his heart, which lasted for a long time.
At this time, Gao Yue still seemed to be looking at the emperor quietly on the surface, as if waiting for a compliment from him.Only he knew, when he saw Zhou Feiqi's subconscious little action, how much he wanted to immediately grab that person's hand regardless and ask him, 'Do you know a person named Chen Qian'?
Of course, in the end reason still defeated impulse, Gao Yue forced himself to be sober, he still needs more evidence, and to collect these evidence, he also needs an opportunity to observe Zhou Feiqi up close, and it is a long-term opportunity...
Zhou Feiqi put down the jade bowl, saw Gao Yue was still looking at him, and hurriedly said: "Yue'er has a heart, the soup is delicious, I like it very much."
"Then won't His Majesty reward me?"
Gao Yue's straightforwardness scared Eunuch Zhang who was standing aside.
Zhou Feiqi also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but Gao Yue took the initiative to ask him for a reward, but he felt that the unspeakable guilt in his heart was relieved, and said: "Yes, what reward does Yue'er want, you might as well tell me listen."
However, Gao Yue withdrew her gaze, looking at the ground in front of her, she seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty said before that you want me to go to the Imperial Study to study ink, and now I want to study ink for Your Majesty every day, so that I can serve Your Majesty every day." Bring soup to His Majesty to relieve the heat!"
Zhou Feiqi: ...
Unexpectedly, he was hit knowingly!
The emperor didn't answer for a while, Gao Yue raised his eyes and saw Zhou Feiqi was in a daze, so he asked again: "Is Your Majesty unwilling?"
"No, how is it possible for me?" Zhou Feiqi reacted completely subconsciously. When she realized what she said, she realized that she couldn't take back the words, so she said, "It would be great if Yue'er would like to study ink for me." He intends to help Gao Yue to the throne, just like the former emperor helped Taijun Xiaoci.But recently, he thought that Gao Yue might be the one in his heart half of the time, and he was a little reluctant to help him to the position of the outlet. He didn't expect Gao Yue to bring it up by himself and he also Forced to agree, Zhou Feiqi really didn't know what else to say besides lamenting that this was God's will...
"Since that's the case, the minister will--"
"This matter is not urgent," Zhou Feiqi said hastily, "the time will come in a few days. You can go back first and wait for my order."
Gao Yue only thought that he was a harem brother who wanted to settle in the imperial study, and Zhou Feiqi might need to make some arrangements, so he didn't ask any more questions, got up and saluted, and left the Jiyang Palace.On the way back, Gao Yue was still thinking that this person Zhou Feiqi understands weapons, pronounces 'Gao Yue', knows how to 'play with fingers', and asks him to close his eyes when he suddenly sees the light -- he can shake his pen and drink when he writes. When making soup, I will blow first, and when I vomit, I will ask "Can I help?"...
Even if you don't know if he sings out of tune now, even if you score [-] points for each of these items, now you have [-] points. What reason does such a person not take a gamble?What does it matter if you lose all your face and face in the end?
At least, I have no regrets in my heart, I was brave again for Chen Qian!
Thinking of this, Gao Yue even walked back to the palace much lighter.
This royal harem is a hornet's nest, and soon the news that Gao Shijun sent soup to the emperor spread like wildfire among the palaces, and everyone's focus was also particularly uniformly skewed to the point of 'the emperor didn't let him sleep', it can be seen Now in the eyes of other people, the emperor's love and preference for Gao Yue are taken for granted!
Just when everyone hadn't figured out why the emperor didn't keep Gao Yue in bed, on the second day, His Majesty asked Eunuch Hu to bring an imperial decree to Jingyang Palace——
"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's decree said, serve the emperor Gaoyue, Yonghe is pure, wise and wise, guards the people, and is tough and courageous. I will be canonized as the four monarchs, Bi Yan, hereby!" Eunuch Hu finished reading with a smile The imperial decree reached out to help Gao Yue up, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Gao Biyan, congratulations to Gao Biyan for being promoted to the fourth monarch!"
Everyone in Jingyang Palace knelt down on the spot and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Gao Biyan, you have been promoted to the Fourth Monarch!"
Gao Yue didn't expect that Zhou Feiqi asked him to wait last night because he wanted to canonize him. This decree could be said to have come a little by surprise, but promotion is a happy event, especially when he is promoted to the fourth prince, and Bi Yanjun is the head of the four princes. What a great honor!
"reward!"
Of course, this kind of thing should be rewarded, and it should be rewarded heavily!Gao Yue gave an order, and the two young eunuchs immediately ran into the apse to get the money, grinning to the point of their ears.Everyone has a share in Jingyang Palace, and it was extremely lively for a while.
Gao Yue turned around and said to Eunuch Hu fair: "Please meet me, please have a cup of tea before leaving."
This is the second time Eunuch Hu read out the edict of promotion to Gao Yue. When he came for the first time, Gao Yue was still living in the Beloved’s House behind Jingyang Palace. He still remembers the scene of that day. The brother of the Gao family in front of him in the yard also invited him to drink tea in his house after receiving the imperial edict like today - it is less than a month now, and he has already ranked first among the four monarchs.
Gao Yue still chose a pair of precious carved treasures from the pile of gold and silver jewels bestowed by the emperor to give to Eunuch Hu. Eunuch Hu did not refuse this time. In the future, I will reciprocate it.He has lived in this palace all his life, and after two dynasties, he can naturally see that this Lord Gao Biyan, if nothing happens, is likely to go further than the former filial and compassionate prince.
Since there is a master with an inestimable future in front of him, it is natural that the sooner he makes friends, the better for himself, this is also the survival rule of the royal harem.
Eunuch Hu accepted the gift with a smile and drank tea. Not long after he left, all the masters of the harem came to congratulate the newly promoted Lord Bi Yan.Gao Yue inevitably had to receive some receptions, so naturally he was busy for another whole day.
However, this promotion is different from the previous one. After all, it is the position of the Four Lords, which is equivalent to being a concubine of the second rank. This is a formal promotion ceremony. The specific time will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. There will be two such events in a year. Now that the vernal equinox has passed, there is a high probability that Gao Yue's ceremony will be held at the autumnal equinox.
It is not too much to say that Gao Yue's promotion this time is well deserved.After all, his performance in the Gu worm case can be called both wisdom and bravery, which even the concubine Han who loves the most hypocritical can't say anything about it, let alone other people.
Now that the Gu worm case has been concluded, apart from Gao Yue, other concubines and elder brothers who performed well in the whole matter have also been rewarded one after another. In this regard, I have to say that the emperor still pays attention to 'checks and balances'.On this side, he promoted Gao Yue to the fourth monarch, and on the other side, he also gave countless rewards to Concubine Shu. In addition, he also promoted Qiao Huan and Qi Sheath as beauties, and gave them to the beauties.
Before Gao Yue was promoted to be a servant, the emperor had said that he would be in charge of the Liangren's office. After Gao Yue became the commander of the moonlight pole, the Liangren's office finally ushered in the only two beauties. This good man will be Gao Yue's help in the harem after being promoted to the fourth monarch, and it can also be said to be a high-level force.
The emperor took care of Gao Yue in all kinds of ways, from outsiders' eyes, it was really well-intentioned, but only Gao Yue felt that Zhou Feiqi's arrangements must have deep meaning.It's just that the surface of the current harem is still harmonious, so it's not obvious.
Changes in the structure of the harem will naturally affect the subsequent changes in the previous dynasty.For example, Gao Yue's uncle, who had been serving as the servant of the household department for several years without moving his nest, also received the imperial edict three days after Gao Yue was promoted, but it was to transfer him to Jicheng as the prefect.
The prefect of Jicheng was originally Wang Meiren's father, Wang Zhengren. Five days ago, Zhou Huan, the guard, found out that Wang Fuhu and Wang Jianshi, the main criminals in the case of hiding Gu worms without authorization, have been arrested and imprisoned. The position of prefect of Jicheng was vacated. There is no need for Beijing officials to fill this vacancy, but everyone can see that the emperor's transfer this time is to support the Gao family intentionally, and it also means to replace the old with the new——
After all, Lin Qingshu has been thrown into the cold palace, and although his father Lin Inspector is not implicated and still stays in the position of Jinzhou Inspector, but he has lost his sacred heart.The governor's mansion is in Jicheng, and now the prefect of Jicheng has been replaced by someone from the Gao family. In the harem, the elder brother of the Gao family also took the position of the four princes. This is the intention of shaking the mountain.
I am afraid that Jicheng will inevitably have some open and secret struggles in the future.
Li Shangshu from the household department, as the mentor of the cousin of the Gao family, specially called him to the mansion before he left Beijing, and gave him such and such instructions.The old man naturally saw Zhou Feiqi's intentions, and he also knew that his student was a kind and honest person, he was afraid that he would be too honest to go to Jicheng and suffer losses.
This change soon spread to Gucheng, and Li Jing naturally received the news, but because of Liang Chen's delivery in the past two days, he didn't have time to think about it.It is even more dangerous for a brother to give birth to a woman. Fortunately, Chi Yundao is in Gucheng, with this big hand of Xinglin, even if Liang Chen gave birth for a day and a night, father and son are still safe in the end, and they successfully gave birth to a son for the Li family.
When Li Jing first got Lin'er, he was so excited that he named him Zhen and held a feast for three days and three nights.As he exchanged cups with those who came to congratulate him, the words that Daoist Chi Yun entrusted to him before he left often sounded in his heart——
'...This son is normal, but because of his obsession with the catastrophe, he needs to be loved by the general, and his obsession should be influenced by the love of a father like a mountain. In this way, everything will be as usual in 12 years, and he will do a lot after that...'
The children and grandchildren of my Li family should naturally do a lot!
Li Jingang drank a bowl of wine, somehow remembered the news he received a few days ago, that person had been promoted again, it can be seen that now in the harem, he is really loved by three thousand people, maybe it won't be long, he will also Will have children of her own—
His heart throbbed slightly, and Li Jing was so drunk that night that he passed out.
It was more than a month after Gao Yue was promoted to Bi Yanjun, and the emperor finally invited him to study ink in the imperial study.
This month, Gao Yue and Zhou Feiqi haven't even met each other. If you want to ask the reason, it's because of the turmoil in the previous dynasty and the addition of new people in the harem.
The aftermath of the Gu worm case was very long. In addition to the tens of thousands of villagers who Liang Xiao discovered before, after Wang Fuhu and Wang Jian's family were arrested, many people in the north of the Weihe River had strange deaths. The phenomenon involved more than a hundred villages and counties.This matter is no longer something that can be summed up by a Gu worm's rebellion, it seems to be at the level of flood and drought.Fortunately, Taoist Chiyun has returned to Beijing, and the emperor invited him into the palace again. After the discussion, he directly sealed Chiyun Temple as an imperial Taoist temple, and ordered Taoist Chiyun to rush Xinglin and Taoist talents to many places in the name of the royal family. The land checks Gu and pulls out insects for the people.
This incident was a big one, involving the dismissal and promotion of hundreds of officials, Zhou Feiqi was discussing with important ministers every day, and spent a long period of time staying in the imperial study every night.
In contrast, the finishing work of the Gu worm case in the harem went fairly smoothly. At least after the Queen Mother received the list of people in the palace drawn up by Gao Yue, she called him to the front after seven days of deliberation. After one of the people, the preliminary proposal is generally considered to have been passed.
The queen mother said to Gao Yue: "Aijia can see that you have put a lot of thought into this list. Aijia is actually very satisfied, but you are young, and there are some things that you may not be clear about. There are some people we can't use. Aijia asked Polygonatum to be marked for you. For those unusable people, you go back and look for them to see if there are any suitable ones. The rest are fine, so hurry up and replace them!"
Of course, Gao Yue understood what the empress dowager meant, because the positions corresponding to those who were rejected were relatively important, and the empress dowager probably wanted to replace her own people to hold power.In fact, when drafting this list, he also did some background checks on the employing staff. Most of them were from the Li family and the emperor's direct lineage, and less than one-tenth were from his Gao family. Those old people left behind.
The Empress Dowager probably also understood Gao Yue's thoughts. When rejecting people, she only targeted the position and did not specifically target the faction. Therefore, among the people who passed, Gao Yue's one-tenth ratio was basically retained.
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
Having said that, on the second day, when Gao Yue went to Yongshou Palace to pay his respects, he took the opportunity to complain to the Queen Mother, saying that he couldn't find anyone, and asked the Queen Mother to help him find a way.The queen mother smiled knowingly, and couldn't be more satisfied with Gao Yue.
She patted Gao Yue's hand and said: "It seems that the Ai family has given you a problem, well, then I will leave this matter to the Ai family, so don't worry about it."
Gao Yue quickly thanked him, and after he left, the Queen Mother called Concubine Shu, and handed over the matter to her.She can really rest assured that her own niece will handle this matter.She didn't even ask who Concubine Shu used in the end, which shows how much she trusts her.
The vacancy in the harem was finally filled, and a few days later, after everyone came to greet her, the Empress Dowager announced that the girls and buddies who participated in the general election this year will arrive in Beijing in three days.
Gao Yue: ...
All right, then I'll open a training class on growing flowers!
He said: "Thanks to the empress dowager's love, how dare Gao Yue refuse to follow, then I will call the gardeners in all the halls of the harem to tell them how to raise this Xilan."
"Okay, okay, you go to work on this matter first, this employment list, Aijia will take a good look at it, this person is old, his eyes are always not so good." The Queen Mother smiled, watching Gao Yue get up and salute. At the gate of the palace, he picked up the list again, and said to Yu Zhu, "Check each one and see what they are all about."
Gao Yue left Yongshou Palace, walked towards Jingyang Palace, and said to the two little eunuchs Xing and Fu beside him: "Go and ask the masters of each palace and palace to bring the gardeners in their palaces to arrive in an hour. Come drink tea in Jingyang Palace."
The two young eunuchs are now blindly worshiping Gao Yue and obeying his orders. They didn't waste a second after listening to his words, and immediately split up and acted.Now that the harem is forbidden, after the happy couple left, Gao Yue walked slowly on the empty palace road alone.Whenever there were guards standing at the gate of the hall he passed by, they would take the initiative to bow and salute when they saw him. The respectful attitude surprised Gao Yue.
However, after thinking about it, Gao Yue understood why this respect came from. It was probably because he stepped forward to block the blood gu attack for many people on the day the file was on fire.Indeed, since that day, when meeting palace people in the palace, many of them would take the initiative to run over to salute him even if they were far away, and looked at him with reverence in their eyes.It seems that he is now a blessing in disguise, and has accumulated some prestige in this harem.
This progress is not bad!Gao Yue is very satisfied.
Nowadays, many palace people in the harem are envious of those who can work in Jingyang Palace, because I heard that Gao Shijun never treats people in the palace harshly, not only rewards and punishes clearly, but also never loses his temper like other palace masters.In addition, in addition to the basic salary as an errand in Jingyang Palace, there are additional rewards for outstanding performance.Working in Jingyang Palace doesn't even need to curry favor with the stewards like other palaces, because Gao Shijun's assignments are clearly divided into tasks, and they can be completed according to the quantity and quality every day. As long as there are no mistakes, no one will make trouble.
Such a master, such an errand, such a life in the harem, is simply something that many people have never dreamed of.Therefore, unknowingly, entering the Jingyang Palace as an errand has become the longing of all the palace people.And the palace servants who have become poor in Jingyang Palace have also unconsciously become the envy of others, which invisibly inspired the enthusiasm of everyone in Jingyang Palace, making them cherish their current life very much .
Gao Yue is still wondering these two days, thinking that I have never painted cakes for this group of people, why do they all seem to be beaten every day, even the little eunuch who is in charge of cleaning can hardly He is full of drive, obviously he has just taken over the Jingyang Palace for a few days, is he still sluggish?
However, it is a good thing to be motivated. Gao Yue is too busy with things in a day, but I hope they can keep it going.It is also because of this that it is almost impossible for other palaces to prepare a tea party with the scale of the entire harem in one hour, but for the people of Jingyang Palace, as long as Gao Shijun asks, we will definitely do it!
Therefore, when concubines from all walks of life in the harem brought gardeners to Jingyang Palace for a banquet, what they saw was an orderly and ingenious arrangement——
Six rows of long tables were placed horizontally in the courtyard of Jingyang Palace. The chairs in the first three rows were pasted with the titles of concubines, such as Concubine Shu and Concubine Han. , the last three rows are the same as the first three rows, but the words of XX hall gardener are pasted on the chairs.And on the stone steps at the main entrance of the main hall, there is a screen, a large white paper is hung on the screen, a desk is also placed beside it, and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone is also placed.
This is of course Gao Yue's meaning. Since it is a centralized training without a projection screen PPT, at least a 'blackboard' and a 'podium' are required to be decent.Moreover, Gao Yue felt that the empress dowager's handing over this matter to him meant a test.After all, after he finished speaking, if Xilan in each palace and palace still couldn't support them, it would be inevitable to shirk responsibility on him. In order to prevent this from happening, Gao Yue planned to let everyone who participated in the training take notes from the very beginning , not only had to take notes, but he had to personally write all the main points on the big white paper. After the training, the two eunuchs Xing and Fu arranged for the people in Jingyang Palace to copy a few more points, and each palace issued a copy of the standard. Version, if there is still a need to support at that time, case by case, we can deal with it separately to save trouble.
I have to say that Mr. Gao's meticulous thinking is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As soon as Gao Yue's training started, Anri sent the news to Zhou Feiqi at the same time.Anyway, now that Gao Yue is in the palace, there is no need for carrier pigeons to report in the dark day, so it is natural that everything can be done in detail. He told the emperor all the novel arrangements of Gao Yue's training. After he finished speaking, he thought the emperor would ask some more questions. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor remained silent for a long time, and anyone could tell that the Emperor was in a daze as if he was in a daze.
What is Zhou Feiqi thinking?He remembered that once he went to that person's company to find him, and happened to meet that person was holding a mobilization meeting for the newly promoted management.At that time, he remembered that the person was standing on the stage, with a large screen projection behind him, and a hundred or so young people sitting in front of him, all of them were full of vigor and light in their eyes, looking at that person intently, showing obvious admiration and longing .
Because it was a semi-open meeting place, he was lucky enough to listen for a while, only to realize that the person in working condition was very different from when he was in front of him—that person was not only witty, but also very skilled in telling various jokes. It easily mobilized the overall atmosphere of the venue, made everyone laugh and gained recognition at the same time, and the applause did not stop throughout the mobilization meeting.
It is true that men are most attractive when they are in business.Because of this, he found that the more he understood him, the more he felt that he couldn't extricate himself from his fascination. He even wondered why there is such a perfect person in this world, and this person is actually his lover...
……
Seeing that the emperor had been silent all this time, he couldn't help calling softly, "Your Majesty?"
Zhou Feiqi came back to his senses, nodded at him, raised his hand and said: "I see. You go." Watching the dark sun fly away, Zhou Feiqi thought, maybe he really should invite Gao Yue to stay by his side for a while , Take a good look at some habits.
But in this way, some impulses that he had managed to suppress in the past few days, he was worried that when the two became more and more alike, he would lose control first...
Gao Yue spent an afternoon teaching the concubines and gardeners a "biology" lesson. After sending the concubines away, he arranged for someone to copy the notes he had spoken today and compile them into a book.In fact, these few days are very tiring, but Gao Yue insists on copying Buddhist scriptures for half an hour every night before going to bed, just for meditation.
Jingyang Palace is now in full swing in the eyes of the people in the harem, but the two eunuchs Xing and Fu are worried these two days. The reason is, of course, that His Majesty the Emperor has not come to look for their servants for several days. They have served the emperor and slept.
Xiao Xingzi discussed with Xiao Fuzi, saying that the emperor will not come to Jingyang Palace, they should persuade Gao Shijun to go to Jiyang Palace or Yushu, even if they send a bowl of mung bean soup, at least they should use some means to maintain favor.Otherwise, if the emperor forgets about their servants, what will happen if they continue to settle down like this?
The two of them did what they said, and Xiao Xingzi went to the small kitchen to find the chef and said this, the chef immediately understood, and prepared a box of cool and refreshing pastries, served with a cup of fragrant mung bean soup. A late night snack couldn't be more appropriate.
Xiao Fuzi took this opportunity to go to the study.It was already time to light the lamps, and the lights in the study room were flickering, and the warm light was overflowing. Their family servant was wearing a moon-white gauze robe, with a satin blue headband casually falling on his shoulders, sitting upright behind the desk , writing with lowered eyes, fully concentrating on writing.The light fell on him, and the gauze ribbon seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold, which made the whole person mysterious and solemn.
Xiao Fuzi stared blankly for a long time before stepping forward lightly. Gao Yue looked up at him and said, "Why, what happened?"
"No," Xiao Fuzi said quickly, and then he didn't know what to say.He scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, hesitated for a long time and finally choked out a sentence, "Your Majesty, will Your Majesty come to Jingyang Palace today?"
Gao Yue thought that he had something to hide. After hearing him finish this sentence, he only took a deep look at him, then continued to copy the scriptures, and at the same time chuckled lightly, saying: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you still want to His Majesty?"
"Ah?" Xiao Fuzi hurriedly waved his hands, "I don't deserve to miss Your Majesty, my servant! I'm worried that you miss Your Majesty!" Then, he took two steps forward and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, how about you?" Have you missed Your Majesty?"
"Think about it," Gao Yue said casually without raising her eyelids, "Is there anyone in the harem who doesn't want His Majesty, how normal!"
Little Fuzi obviously didn't notice Gao Yue's mood, only hearing this, his eyes lit up immediately, and said: "Then, would you like to visit His Majesty? The chef made supper, would you like to give it to His Majesty to taste?"
When the word 'not going' came to his lips, Gao Yue suddenly thought of something and suppressed it.He put down his pen again and looked at Xiao Fuzi, and sure enough, he saw the uneasy expectation on this little guy's face—he thought, probably because he had been spoiled all the time before, and he was so popular that he was only a few days old now. Tian didn't stick with Zhou Feiqi, and even the most capable little eunuch around him was worried that he would fall out of favor. This is really... well, it's hard to describe.
However, now he still has a reason to stay in the harem, even if it is to put on a show to appease people's hearts, it seems that the so-called "fixed favor" method has to be played.In all fairness, Gao Yue was actually mentally prepared for this situation early in the morning.It's just that in the past few days, he was busy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait and see what Zhou Feiqi's attitude was. Now that several days have passed, if Zhou doesn't move, then I can only move.Because, he always felt that Zhou Feiqi was avoiding him on purpose, although he didn't know the reason, but if it was true, it would be very difficult for him to test further, I hope it was just an illusion.
Thinking of this, Gao Yue simply put away the scriptures and stood up, saying, "Get ready to change."
When Xiao Fuzi heard the words, his small face turned into a flower with a smile, and he quickly nodded "Yes!"
When Xiao Xingzi saw Xiao Fuzi running out outside the door, she knew it was over by the happy look on her face, and hurried over, the corners of her mouth were about to split behind her ears.Since it is to send supper to the emperor, it is natural to make up for the emperor. If the emperor looks happy, maybe he will stay with the emperor to sleep!
Therefore, Xiao Xingzi took out the pink and white gauze robe that Gao Yue wore to the banquet at Fushou Pavilion that day. He remembered very clearly that His Majesty said that he likes his servants to wear pink!The two young eunuchs dressed Gao Yue enthusiastically.Gao Yue cooperated very well throughout the whole process, but the expression on his face was faint, which made people look at him, and it was just a little hard to understand his thoughts.
However, Gao Yue's indifferent expression was just right when the pink robe was on his body.Xiao Fuzi even felt that anyone who wore this gauze robe would inevitably add a charming atmosphere, and it was only his family's servant who could give out this refined temperament in life!
After everything was settled, Gao Yue asked, "Do you know where His Majesty is at this time?"
Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "I have inquired about it, Your Majesty has already returned to Jiyang Hall."
"Well," Gao Yue shook his sleeves, and said, "Then take the supper you prepared, and let's go." Xing and Fu immediately smiled, took their things and followed Gao Yue out the door.
Ordinarily, the harem is still forbidden, and the palace people should not walk around freely, but Gao Yue seems to be a special case. Whether he leaves the Jingyang Palace or comes to the Jiyang Palace, the whole journey is unimpeded until he arrives at the Jiyang Palace In the courtyard, Eunuch Zhang didn't look surprised when he saw him, as if Gao Yue should have a place in the Jiyang Palace.
"Please trouble Eunuch Zhang to report to His Majesty, Gao Yue asks to see you."
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in Tangchi at the moment, it is better to go to the side hall to rest for a while, and let the slaves go and have a look."
"Well, that's fine too."
Gao Yue went to the side hall, and Eunuch Zhang hurriedly trotted straight to the Tangchi. He didn't dare to go in casually when he was outside, so he just whispered something outside the screen, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao is here!" '
There was a sound of water soon behind the screen, followed by the sound of steady but hasty footsteps, but the sound stopped halfway before approaching, Zhou Feiqi finally spoke, but asked: "What did he say?"
Eunuch Zhang said with a smile in his voice, "It is said that he brought supper to His Majesty!"
There was no sound on the other side of the screen, and Eunuch Zhang couldn't see the emperor's expression. He was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out why it was so rare for Gao Shijun to take the initiative to see His Majesty. Why was His Majesty so silent?Could it be too surprising?
He was thinking about whether to ask again, when His Majesty the Emperor finally said, "Changing clothes for me."
With this sound, others may not be able to hear His Majesty's happiness and anger, but Eunuch Zhang, who has served Zhou Feiqi for many years, has keenly noticed that the Emperor's interest does not seem to be high.What is going on between these two people?
After Zhou Feiqi was fully dressed, he summoned Gao Yue in the main hall of Jiyang Palace.
Gao Yue was dressed in pink, carrying the food box with her own hands, and just stepped into the hall, Zhou Feiqi felt her heart skip a beat.
The eyes of the two met unexpectedly in the air, Gao Yue's eyes were filled with a thin layer of smile, but Zhou Feiqi hurriedly moved away.Seeing this, Gao Yue lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart. It seemed that her intuition was still accurate——Zhou Feiqi was avoiding him on purpose!
But why?
Obviously everything was normal before, and he even felt that Zhou Feiqi liked him a little bit, but ever since they shared the bed that night, Zhou Feiqi felt different things the next day.If he really likes it, since he took the initiative that night, shouldn't he take this opportunity to further their relationship?No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be the reaction of 'hiding'?
You know, evasion is also a kind of soft rejection. Although it is not as straightforward as direct rejection, the retreat, hesitation and careful consideration in it are more tormenting, okay?
Thinking of this, Gao Yue felt angry again for no reason.He thought, could it be that the emperor has become suspicious and worried that he must have ulterior motives for being so proactive?Then he really thought too much, I just think you have similarities with my partner, otherwise, who would want to spend so much time on you, the stallion hero!
Zhou Feiqi gave Gao Yue a seat without waiting for Gao Yue to complete the salute. Although he was expressionless during the period, Gao Yue discovered that he was peeping at him several times. How can I say this reaction is both hateful and cute...
"It's been hot these days, and I brought mung bean soup to relieve the emperor's summer heat."
Gao Yue sat under the high steps of the main hall, although it was the first place, but this position was at least two meters away from Zhou Feiqi's main seat.It was the first time for Gao Yue to enjoy such treatment in Jiyang Palace, and of course it was also the first time for him to be so far away from Zhou Feiqi.Although he still had a smile on his face, there were inevitably mixed feelings in his heart.
"Yue'er has a heart, Eunuch Zhang will bring it up for me to taste."
Eunuch Zhang stood aside with his head bowed. This was almost the first time that Gao Yue was forcibly pulled in when Gao Yue was alone with the emperor. Although he had never seen the scene of Gao Shijun and the emperor alone in the past, but today's atmosphere is even if he is alone. The bystanders also saw a bit of deliberate alienation.However, he is the emperor's close servant, even if he has doubts in his heart, he dare not speak casually, naturally he should do whatever the emperor asks him to do.So, he quickly took the food box from Gao Yue, and served the chilled mung bean soup to the emperor.
Zhou Feiqi took the cool jade bowl, couldn't help but look up at Gao Yue, thinking that although a bowl of mung bean soup is nothing, but the coldness should be frozen all the way, this carefulness alone is really rare.My intuition is indeed correct, Yue'er really has to show favor to me - if he is not the one in my heart, this debt will be really hard to pay, what should I do?
Zhou Feiqi drank mung bean soup, and Gao Yue sat down and watched him quietly—Chen Qian had a habit of drinking soup, porridge and tea, whether it was cold or hot, as long as it was served in a bowl, he would drink it before drinking it. Blowing twice is like a subconscious habit. It is said that he was scalded by hot soup when he was a child, and that was his experience before he went to kindergarten.Gao Yue remembers that because of this habit, the kindergarten teacher reminded Chen Qian several times, but every time Chen Qian told the teacher very confidently: "My mother said, you must blow on something before drinking, so that your tongue will not hurt. up! '
Thinking back now, Chen Xiaoapeng at that time was so silly and cute!
Zhou Feiqi knew that Gao Yue was looking at him, but he still lowered his eyes and pretended to concentrate on the bowl of mung bean soup in his hand. He subconsciously blew twice on the green soup in the jade bowl, and the soup was thick However, Zhou Feiqi didn't know that his two blows made waves in his heart, which lasted for a long time.
At this time, Gao Yue still seemed to be looking at the emperor quietly on the surface, as if waiting for a compliment from him.Only he knew, when he saw Zhou Feiqi's subconscious little action, how much he wanted to immediately grab that person's hand regardless and ask him, 'Do you know a person named Chen Qian'?
Of course, in the end reason still defeated impulse, Gao Yue forced himself to be sober, he still needs more evidence, and to collect these evidence, he also needs an opportunity to observe Zhou Feiqi up close, and it is a long-term opportunity...
Zhou Feiqi put down the jade bowl, saw Gao Yue was still looking at him, and hurriedly said: "Yue'er has a heart, the soup is delicious, I like it very much."
"Then won't His Majesty reward me?"
Gao Yue's straightforwardness scared Eunuch Zhang who was standing aside.
Zhou Feiqi also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but Gao Yue took the initiative to ask him for a reward, but he felt that the unspeakable guilt in his heart was relieved, and said: "Yes, what reward does Yue'er want, you might as well tell me listen."
However, Gao Yue withdrew her gaze, looking at the ground in front of her, she seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty said before that you want me to go to the Imperial Study to study ink, and now I want to study ink for Your Majesty every day, so that I can serve Your Majesty every day." Bring soup to His Majesty to relieve the heat!"
Zhou Feiqi: ...
Unexpectedly, he was hit knowingly!
The emperor didn't answer for a while, Gao Yue raised his eyes and saw Zhou Feiqi was in a daze, so he asked again: "Is Your Majesty unwilling?"
"No, how is it possible for me?" Zhou Feiqi reacted completely subconsciously. When she realized what she said, she realized that she couldn't take back the words, so she said, "It would be great if Yue'er would like to study ink for me." He intends to help Gao Yue to the throne, just like the former emperor helped Taijun Xiaoci.But recently, he thought that Gao Yue might be the one in his heart half of the time, and he was a little reluctant to help him to the position of the outlet. He didn't expect Gao Yue to bring it up by himself and he also Forced to agree, Zhou Feiqi really didn't know what else to say besides lamenting that this was God's will...
"Since that's the case, the minister will--"
"This matter is not urgent," Zhou Feiqi said hastily, "the time will come in a few days. You can go back first and wait for my order."
Gao Yue only thought that he was a harem brother who wanted to settle in the imperial study, and Zhou Feiqi might need to make some arrangements, so he didn't ask any more questions, got up and saluted, and left the Jiyang Palace.On the way back, Gao Yue was still thinking that this person Zhou Feiqi understands weapons, pronounces 'Gao Yue', knows how to 'play with fingers', and asks him to close his eyes when he suddenly sees the light -- he can shake his pen and drink when he writes. When making soup, I will blow first, and when I vomit, I will ask "Can I help?"...
Even if you don't know if he sings out of tune now, even if you score [-] points for each of these items, now you have [-] points. What reason does such a person not take a gamble?What does it matter if you lose all your face and face in the end?
At least, I have no regrets in my heart, I was brave again for Chen Qian!
Thinking of this, Gao Yue even walked back to the palace much lighter.
This royal harem is a hornet's nest, and soon the news that Gao Shijun sent soup to the emperor spread like wildfire among the palaces, and everyone's focus was also particularly uniformly skewed to the point of 'the emperor didn't let him sleep', it can be seen Now in the eyes of other people, the emperor's love and preference for Gao Yue are taken for granted!
Just when everyone hadn't figured out why the emperor didn't keep Gao Yue in bed, on the second day, His Majesty asked Eunuch Hu to bring an imperial decree to Jingyang Palace——
"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's decree said, serve the emperor Gaoyue, Yonghe is pure, wise and wise, guards the people, and is tough and courageous. I will be canonized as the four monarchs, Bi Yan, hereby!" Eunuch Hu finished reading with a smile The imperial decree reached out to help Gao Yue up, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Gao Biyan, congratulations to Gao Biyan for being promoted to the fourth monarch!"
Everyone in Jingyang Palace knelt down on the spot and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Gao Biyan, you have been promoted to the Fourth Monarch!"
Gao Yue didn't expect that Zhou Feiqi asked him to wait last night because he wanted to canonize him. This decree could be said to have come a little by surprise, but promotion is a happy event, especially when he is promoted to the fourth prince, and Bi Yanjun is the head of the four princes. What a great honor!
"reward!"
Of course, this kind of thing should be rewarded, and it should be rewarded heavily!Gao Yue gave an order, and the two young eunuchs immediately ran into the apse to get the money, grinning to the point of their ears.Everyone has a share in Jingyang Palace, and it was extremely lively for a while.
Gao Yue turned around and said to Eunuch Hu fair: "Please meet me, please have a cup of tea before leaving."
This is the second time Eunuch Hu read out the edict of promotion to Gao Yue. When he came for the first time, Gao Yue was still living in the Beloved’s House behind Jingyang Palace. He still remembers the scene of that day. The brother of the Gao family in front of him in the yard also invited him to drink tea in his house after receiving the imperial edict like today - it is less than a month now, and he has already ranked first among the four monarchs.
Gao Yue still chose a pair of precious carved treasures from the pile of gold and silver jewels bestowed by the emperor to give to Eunuch Hu. Eunuch Hu did not refuse this time. In the future, I will reciprocate it.He has lived in this palace all his life, and after two dynasties, he can naturally see that this Lord Gao Biyan, if nothing happens, is likely to go further than the former filial and compassionate prince.
Since there is a master with an inestimable future in front of him, it is natural that the sooner he makes friends, the better for himself, this is also the survival rule of the royal harem.
Eunuch Hu accepted the gift with a smile and drank tea. Not long after he left, all the masters of the harem came to congratulate the newly promoted Lord Bi Yan.Gao Yue inevitably had to receive some receptions, so naturally he was busy for another whole day.
However, this promotion is different from the previous one. After all, it is the position of the Four Lords, which is equivalent to being a concubine of the second rank. This is a formal promotion ceremony. The specific time will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. There will be two such events in a year. Now that the vernal equinox has passed, there is a high probability that Gao Yue's ceremony will be held at the autumnal equinox.
It is not too much to say that Gao Yue's promotion this time is well deserved.After all, his performance in the Gu worm case can be called both wisdom and bravery, which even the concubine Han who loves the most hypocritical can't say anything about it, let alone other people.
Now that the Gu worm case has been concluded, apart from Gao Yue, other concubines and elder brothers who performed well in the whole matter have also been rewarded one after another. In this regard, I have to say that the emperor still pays attention to 'checks and balances'.On this side, he promoted Gao Yue to the fourth monarch, and on the other side, he also gave countless rewards to Concubine Shu. In addition, he also promoted Qiao Huan and Qi Sheath as beauties, and gave them to the beauties.
Before Gao Yue was promoted to be a servant, the emperor had said that he would be in charge of the Liangren's office. After Gao Yue became the commander of the moonlight pole, the Liangren's office finally ushered in the only two beauties. This good man will be Gao Yue's help in the harem after being promoted to the fourth monarch, and it can also be said to be a high-level force.
The emperor took care of Gao Yue in all kinds of ways, from outsiders' eyes, it was really well-intentioned, but only Gao Yue felt that Zhou Feiqi's arrangements must have deep meaning.It's just that the surface of the current harem is still harmonious, so it's not obvious.
Changes in the structure of the harem will naturally affect the subsequent changes in the previous dynasty.For example, Gao Yue's uncle, who had been serving as the servant of the household department for several years without moving his nest, also received the imperial edict three days after Gao Yue was promoted, but it was to transfer him to Jicheng as the prefect.
The prefect of Jicheng was originally Wang Meiren's father, Wang Zhengren. Five days ago, Zhou Huan, the guard, found out that Wang Fuhu and Wang Jianshi, the main criminals in the case of hiding Gu worms without authorization, have been arrested and imprisoned. The position of prefect of Jicheng was vacated. There is no need for Beijing officials to fill this vacancy, but everyone can see that the emperor's transfer this time is to support the Gao family intentionally, and it also means to replace the old with the new——
After all, Lin Qingshu has been thrown into the cold palace, and although his father Lin Inspector is not implicated and still stays in the position of Jinzhou Inspector, but he has lost his sacred heart.The governor's mansion is in Jicheng, and now the prefect of Jicheng has been replaced by someone from the Gao family. In the harem, the elder brother of the Gao family also took the position of the four princes. This is the intention of shaking the mountain.
I am afraid that Jicheng will inevitably have some open and secret struggles in the future.
Li Shangshu from the household department, as the mentor of the cousin of the Gao family, specially called him to the mansion before he left Beijing, and gave him such and such instructions.The old man naturally saw Zhou Feiqi's intentions, and he also knew that his student was a kind and honest person, he was afraid that he would be too honest to go to Jicheng and suffer losses.
This change soon spread to Gucheng, and Li Jing naturally received the news, but because of Liang Chen's delivery in the past two days, he didn't have time to think about it.It is even more dangerous for a brother to give birth to a woman. Fortunately, Chi Yundao is in Gucheng, with this big hand of Xinglin, even if Liang Chen gave birth for a day and a night, father and son are still safe in the end, and they successfully gave birth to a son for the Li family.
When Li Jing first got Lin'er, he was so excited that he named him Zhen and held a feast for three days and three nights.As he exchanged cups with those who came to congratulate him, the words that Daoist Chi Yun entrusted to him before he left often sounded in his heart——
'...This son is normal, but because of his obsession with the catastrophe, he needs to be loved by the general, and his obsession should be influenced by the love of a father like a mountain. In this way, everything will be as usual in 12 years, and he will do a lot after that...'
The children and grandchildren of my Li family should naturally do a lot!
Li Jingang drank a bowl of wine, somehow remembered the news he received a few days ago, that person had been promoted again, it can be seen that now in the harem, he is really loved by three thousand people, maybe it won't be long, he will also Will have children of her own—
His heart throbbed slightly, and Li Jing was so drunk that night that he passed out.
It was more than a month after Gao Yue was promoted to Bi Yanjun, and the emperor finally invited him to study ink in the imperial study.
This month, Gao Yue and Zhou Feiqi haven't even met each other. If you want to ask the reason, it's because of the turmoil in the previous dynasty and the addition of new people in the harem.
The aftermath of the Gu worm case was very long. In addition to the tens of thousands of villagers who Liang Xiao discovered before, after Wang Fuhu and Wang Jian's family were arrested, many people in the north of the Weihe River had strange deaths. The phenomenon involved more than a hundred villages and counties.This matter is no longer something that can be summed up by a Gu worm's rebellion, it seems to be at the level of flood and drought.Fortunately, Taoist Chiyun has returned to Beijing, and the emperor invited him into the palace again. After the discussion, he directly sealed Chiyun Temple as an imperial Taoist temple, and ordered Taoist Chiyun to rush Xinglin and Taoist talents to many places in the name of the royal family. The land checks Gu and pulls out insects for the people.
This incident was a big one, involving the dismissal and promotion of hundreds of officials, Zhou Feiqi was discussing with important ministers every day, and spent a long period of time staying in the imperial study every night.
In contrast, the finishing work of the Gu worm case in the harem went fairly smoothly. At least after the Queen Mother received the list of people in the palace drawn up by Gao Yue, she called him to the front after seven days of deliberation. After one of the people, the preliminary proposal is generally considered to have been passed.
The queen mother said to Gao Yue: "Aijia can see that you have put a lot of thought into this list. Aijia is actually very satisfied, but you are young, and there are some things that you may not be clear about. There are some people we can't use. Aijia asked Polygonatum to be marked for you. For those unusable people, you go back and look for them to see if there are any suitable ones. The rest are fine, so hurry up and replace them!"
Of course, Gao Yue understood what the empress dowager meant, because the positions corresponding to those who were rejected were relatively important, and the empress dowager probably wanted to replace her own people to hold power.In fact, when drafting this list, he also did some background checks on the employing staff. Most of them were from the Li family and the emperor's direct lineage, and less than one-tenth were from his Gao family. Those old people left behind.
The Empress Dowager probably also understood Gao Yue's thoughts. When rejecting people, she only targeted the position and did not specifically target the faction. Therefore, among the people who passed, Gao Yue's one-tenth ratio was basically retained.
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
Having said that, on the second day, when Gao Yue went to Yongshou Palace to pay his respects, he took the opportunity to complain to the Queen Mother, saying that he couldn't find anyone, and asked the Queen Mother to help him find a way.The queen mother smiled knowingly, and couldn't be more satisfied with Gao Yue.
She patted Gao Yue's hand and said: "It seems that the Ai family has given you a problem, well, then I will leave this matter to the Ai family, so don't worry about it."
Gao Yue quickly thanked him, and after he left, the Queen Mother called Concubine Shu, and handed over the matter to her.She can really rest assured that her own niece will handle this matter.She didn't even ask who Concubine Shu used in the end, which shows how much she trusts her.
The vacancy in the harem was finally filled, and a few days later, after everyone came to greet her, the Empress Dowager announced that the girls and buddies who participated in the general election this year will arrive in Beijing in three days.
