Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 759 Who is taking precautions
Gao Sitang held a celebration party in Quanzhou, and his boss Gao Wushi also held a celebration party in Shenglong City.

Annan's arrival was confirmed, and the court's rewards for the chieftains had reached Annan with a rare high efficiency.

Cen Ling's position within Daming has been promoted, from a magistrate in Sicheng Prefecture to a co-prefect. To be honest, this level of promotion is not small among the chieftains of Daming, but compared to his current position in Annan, it is far more important. It became a drizzle.

However, for chieftains, the official position of Ming Dynasty was not easy to climb, especially compared with the "Chu Xiang" who was named on the gold list and went directly to the Imperial Academy like Gao Yushi, it was a world of difference.

The imperial court's reward for Huang Zhiting is more interesting-she was named a respectful person.

Gongren is the title of a married woman, which is equivalent to the fourth rank.But the problem is that, generally speaking, a married woman is bestowed on a "wife", and the rank usually corresponds to the rank of her husband's official position.

But... Huang Zhiting is unmarried!

Seeing the conferment from the imperial court, Gao Wushi laughed, and started joking: "This is really strange, since the title of a married woman corresponds to the official status of her husband and son-in-law. It's rare to see... I was thinking, could it be that the emperor means that whoever marries you will be directly promoted to the fourth rank? That's terrible. From now on, there will be ten times more people who want to make up your mind than in the past La!"

Huang Zhiting's expression was quite calm, but she raised her brows slightly after hearing Gao Wushi's words: "What's the use of that? I can earn a fourth-rank myself, and I can still look after those who count on me to be promoted A mediocre person?"

"Oh, Miss Huang, your words are too hurtful, and I am only a seventh-rank sesame official."

"You?" Huang Zhiting said angrily: "Then your sesame seed is too big. If I give you a fourth-rank magistrate, will you change it?"

Gao Wushi didn't answer "yes" or "don't want", but shook his head and said: "I guess I don't have to change if I want to, unless there is another big change in Beijing, otherwise when my term of tour is over, the emperor will be in charge." It’s time to call me back to Beijing.”

Huang Zhiting's complexion changed, and she said in a daze, "You... are you going back to Beijing?"

"Not yet. The term of the inspector censor is counted from the time of his arrival. Normally speaking, it lasts for one year. I arrived in early October last year, and there is still half a year left-speaking of which, I have been in office for the past six months. There’s a lot to do.”

More than a few?Since you took office in Guilin, you have quelled the two rebellions in Mingjiang City and Lingyun City, brought Guangxi to Lianzhou Prefecture, and won almost the entire Guangxi chieftain under your command, and then decisively sent troops to quell the entire Annan...

I'm afraid that since there was a patrol censor, you have been the one with the highest efficiency and the most errands.

"You...after you return to Beijing, will you come to Guangxi or Annan again?"

"I don't know." Gao Wushi said with a wry smile, "Generally speaking, unless there is a big trouble in Annan, and the court feels that it is up to me, then it is possible for me to come to Annan again."

He sighed softly, and said: "As for Guangxi, I'm afraid it's even more difficult. Although I am now a censor, there is a reason for this. In fact, I should still be counted as an imperial official, a foreign magistrate or a soldier. It is unlikely, and even if he is a foreigner, it is unlikely that he came to Guangxi."

"I..." Huang Zhiting's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth: "Can we meet again?"

Gao Wushi looked at her, and suddenly smiled: "It may be difficult for me to come to see you, but if it is you who want to see me, it is actually not too difficult. The imperial court's restrictions on your chieftains and our junior officials It's different, if you want to leave the territory, the imperial court will not ask more questions.

Besides, what you Cen and Huang families will do next is to gradually draw power from Guangxi to Annan, and prepare to build a fence for the imperial court in Annan. Look for me, and no one will care about you. "

"Really, I..." Huang Zhiting's face brightened, and suddenly she felt something was wrong, she pouted and said, "Why did I go to you... You, you didn't tell me to go."

Gao Wushi suddenly took a step forward, reached out to hold Huang Zhiting's hands, looked her in the eyes, and said seriously: "Zhiting, as long as Annan is fine, I welcome you anytime."

Huang Zhiting and Gao Wushi had an almost "candid meeting" experience, and made some harmless jokes, but it was the first time that Gao Wushi grabbed her hands and called her boudoir name like this.

Miss Huang, who was calm and composed when she was commanding the battle of Lang Son, suddenly turned pink, her heart was bumping like a deer, and she subconsciously retracted her hands, but Gao Wushi grabbed her tightly, making her even more at a loss, and said in a panic: "You ..."

"You" for a long time, but couldn't answer.

Gao Wushi patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly: "Zhi Ting, people are not grass and trees, how can you be ruthless. I know, there are many things, if it is not because of me, you would not do it... I understand you Mood, just..."

Huang Zhiting suddenly stopped struggling, and looked at him nervously: "Just what?"

"It's just... oh!" Gao Wushi sighed: "You know my background, and now in the official circles of Daming, the two most powerful factions are always staring at me: the practical school is staring at me, because I am Gao Wen Zhenggong's nephew is the one who does his duty to the Gao family. They have to observe me and supervise me so that they can lead them to go on better and more smoothly in the future.

The School of Mind also stared at me, hoping that I would make a mistake, and that it would be best to do something out of the ordinary and give them a handle, so as to regain the dominance of the court's affairs and pull the court, which is becoming more and more utilitarian in their eyes. Back to 'right way'. "

Huang Zhiting felt a little sour in her heart, bit her lips, and said, "So, it's impossible for you to marry a chieftain as your wife, is it?"

Gao Wushi opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't answer.

"I..." Huang Zhiting withdrew her hand with a little force, lowered her head and said, "A married woman can only be a regular wife, right?"

Gao Wushi didn't expect her thoughts to suddenly jump to this point, he was slightly startled, and hesitated: "It's true...that's true."

Huang Zhiting turned around and didn't speak.

Gao Wushi took two steps, turned to her, and said, "I know you won't agree, and I dare not..."

"Seek the truth." Huang Zhiting suddenly raised her head, looked at him seriously, and asked, "Do you think the court did it on purpose?"

"Ah?" Gao Wushi was startled: "The imperial court? What is the imperial court's intention?"

"The imperial court should have known that I was unmarried when they asked me to take charge of Siming's state affairs last time. Why did they have to forcefully seal a fourth-rank wife to me this time? Don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean..." Gao Wushi frowned deeply: "Is there really someone in the court who is worried that I will marry you?"

"Anyway, I think it's very unusual for the court to do this." Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "The Ming court has always attached great importance to reputation, and it's hard to imagine that they broke the ancestral rules just because of my military exploits this time, and came to put me, who has no marriage at all, in my house." The girl in the pavilion is bestowed the title of wife. But if you think about it in connection with what you just said... I think this is the only possibility."

Gao Yushi didn't look at Huang Zhiting's bestowal from this angle at all, but now he has to admit that what she said is quite reasonable after hearing what she said. At least this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But who would do that?

In order to prevent himself from marrying Huang Zhiting, he has taken precautions to this point?
Mr. Guo?No, if he really wants to marry Huang Zhiting, Mr. Guo may object, but he will not force himself to listen to him, let alone use such means to "calculate" himself.According to Mr. Guo's behavior, his first choice must be to convince himself. If he refuses to listen, he may scold himself for it, but in the end he will still find a way to help, and finally fulfill himself, and at the same time give himself as much as possible. Clear the trouble.

Zhu Yijun?No, he hopes that he can enter the cabinet as soon as possible in the future. There is no doubt about it. In his opinion, marrying a chieftain's daughter will definitely affect his reputation. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is likely to oppose it. .

The problem is that he is not a time traveler like himself, but just a young man who still has illusions about politics. He wants to reuse himself. As long as he is not blind, anyone can see this, but that doesn't mean he Can think of such details, and use such a hand to create troubles and roadblocks for myself.

Guo Pu's personality dictated it, and his status was already high enough, so he didn't need or disdain to use such small tricks to force himself to walk according to the prescribed pace.

The emperor hadn't reached that level of thinking yet, and wouldn't think about these things in such detail, so he designed such a trick to block his possible actions in advance.

As for the officials of the Heart School, it may be too much to say that they waited for themselves to "go to their own deaths", but at least they should not be so selfless and come out to help themselves avoid a disaster that no one can predict the consequences of.

Then this is strange, who will pay attention to this matter, hold a very clear position to help oneself, and at the same time have the ability to make the court make such an unprecedented move?
Gao Yushi's mind suddenly flashed the faces of many high-ranking officials in the capital, and suddenly he was stunned, and said to himself: "Could it be uncle?"

Gao Yushi's uncle Zhang Siwei obviously has such ability. He is the second assistant of the imperial court and Gao Yushi's biological uncle. He opposes Gao Yushi's marriage to a female chieftain who may affect his reputation as a scholar. This is reasonable Indeed no problem.

But why did Zhang Siwei have such doubts?Although it is true that Gao Yushi and Huang Zhiting are unmarried men and women, but in the eyes of outsiders, Gao Yushi's identity is unlikely to consider marrying a female chieftain.

As a highly pragmatic uncle, Zhang Siwei should have such a proud attitude.

Gao Yushi frowned deeply: Is there any reason for this that I don't know?
