At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 215 Who is better between me and Mr. Xu?

Although Yu Wenzhi didn't seem to recognize Dou Xianniang, Gao Bufan told Dou Xianniang not to go out for the next two days just to be on the safe side. In fact, even if he didn't tell her, this girl would not dare to go out.In addition, Gao Bufan also asked Gao Shou and Gao Ren to take turns walking on the street outside the inn, secretly watching for suspicious people to follow.

At about [-] o'clock in the afternoon, someone from the palace finally came, leading Gao Bufan to Linshuo Palace to meet Emperor Yang Guang.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being shocked, he was finally going to meet the controversial Sui II, he took out a piece of silver and casually handed it to the palace man who led the way: "This father-in-law, who was born in a commoner, has never seen anything in the world, nor Understand the rules, please ask eunuch to mention one or two points, so as not to violate the taboos in the palace."

The palace man gave Gao Bufan an approving look, and said with a smile: "Young Master Gao is modest, the Gao family in Bohai is a famous family, not to mention that Young Master Gao is still the Queen of Langya in the Northern Qi Dynasty, how can he have never seen the world?" He said quickly After receiving the silver ingot, with a slight shake, the silver slid into the sleeve, showing that the "business" is quite skilled.

Gao Bufan laughed at himself: "I'm just a vulgar peasant who raises horses, and I sincerely ask my father-in-law for advice."

Hearing the words, the palace man was very comfortable, and became more and more pleasing to Gao Bufan, and said cheerfully: "My surname is Lu, and my first name is You. You can just call me Lu Changshi, Mr. Gao. There are many rules in the palace, and it is really easy to understand." Prohibition, um, let's talk while walking."

This Lu Changshi still has professional ethics. He worked hard after receiving the money, and his eloquence was not bad. He actually mentioned Gao Bufan a little bit along the way. How to salute when meeting the emperor, etc., even mentioned the favored ministers around the emperor, and the preferences of these ministers, etc., which made Gao Bufan feel like listening to the emperor's words, which is better than reading books for ten years. The situation has also been roughly understood.

Besides, when the two of them finally came to the gate of Linshuo Palace, Lu Changshi also kept silent. At first Gao Bufan thought that he could not chat while walking in the palace, but later he realized that the time limit for his ingot of silver had expired. I met another palace official on the road, and Lu Changshi stopped to chat with him for a while.

"Eunuch Lu, this Linshuo Palace is really big, where did the emperor summon the grassroots?" Gao Bufan asked tentatively.

Eunuch Lu just hummed, but he didn't want to say another word. Gao Bufan quickly "recharged" in a very polite manner, and stuffed a piece of silver. Then the former immediately became enthusiastic again, and replied with a smile: "The emperor is here!" The Wude Palace is receiving Mr. Gao, the Empress and Princess Yicheng are also present, so it is best not to look around, so as not to offend the nobleman."

Lu Changshi seemed to hesitate for a moment, he was probably weighing the value of the silver that Gao Bufan gave, and finally added something meaningful: "Did Mr. Gao offend the eunuch Shaoqing?"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Could it be that Yu Wenhuaji is also here?"

Lu Changshi nodded imperceptibly, and then continued to move forward, no longer talking about Gao Bufan. It is estimated that the time limit for that ingot of silver has come again.

Gao Bufan was a little speechless, this guy is really a dedicated little money-making expert, he doesn't stalk a rabbit when he sees a rabbit, and he doesn't open his mouth when he doesn't see a silver coin, he only accepted two ingots of silver for such an important news before he was willing to reveal a single word.

Gao Bufan frowned, thinking secretly in his heart, saying that the relationship between himself and Yu Wenhuaji is not really a deep enmity, this guy should not be dead against him, but it should still be possible to trip him up a bit. Be careful.

After about a cup of tea, Gao Bufan finally followed Lu Changshi to a majestic hall, and wrote "Wu De Hall" in three big characters. There were two rows of guards standing in front of the hall. It's Pei Xingyan.

It was not convenient to meet each other at this time, so Gao Bufan and Pei Xingyan met their eyes, and they both nodded casually, as a greeting.

Lu Changshi asked Gao Bufan to wait outside the hall, and then went into the hall to return to his command. After a little leaning, a loud shout came from inside the hall: "Gao Bufan, a native of Xunbohai County, Gao Changqing, come in to meet you."

"Gao Bufan, Gao Changqing, from Xuan County, Xuanbohai, come in for an audience." Qianniuwei outside the hall shouted in unison, making people's ears ringing.

Gao Bufan walked towards the hall, and his steps were deliberately heavy, because it looked more solemn. If you walk calmly at this time, you might make Yang Guang feel unhappy. Even if you are sincere and fearful, you are still strolling around in the courtyard. Isn't this too life-threatening?
Let's say that Gao Bufan entered the main hall, lowered his eyebrows, walked to the center of the main hall, and then followed the etiquette suggested by Lu Changshi, knelt down to the side of the throne and kowtowed: "Cao Min Gao Changqing, I bow to my emperor!"

"This person is Gao Changqing, a talented scholar from Yin County. He is really a handsome young man." A soft and pleasant female voice came to his ears.

Gao Bufan resisted the urge to look up, and continued to lower his eyebrows, looking like a respectful obedient citizen.

"Well, Gao Changqing, please raise your head." A majestic voice sounded.

Gao Bufan hurriedly raised his head to look up, his eyes swept away quickly, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the throne in the middle, wearing a dragon robe, with the sun and the moon on his shoulders, carrying stars on his back, wearing the Jinbo Mountain Heavenly Crown, with a thin face , with a long beard under his chin, and majestic eyes, that is the unique aura of a ninety-five supreme being who holds the power of life and death in his hands. Gao Bufan suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and quickly lowered his eyes again.

Yang Guang looked Gao Bufan up and down, then nodded and said: "Well, he is indeed a handsome young man, what does the queen think when he is younger than I am?"

Empress Xiao giggled and said, "Does the Emperor want to listen to the truth or lies?"

Gao Bufan frowned secretly, his heart rose slightly, and he secretly called "Your uncle!"
Yang Guang said with a straight face: "Naturally, we must listen to the truth."

Empress Xiao has a plump figure, snow-white skin, and a charming look. She is extremely beautiful, and she can't tell how old she is. At first glance, she looks like a charming woman in her twenties and thirties. The eight-year-old girl is pretty and cute. No wonder Yang Guang has changed hands several times after his death, which shows how popular she is.

At this time, Xiao Huang smiled and said: "Gao Changqing is not as good as the emperor when he was young. When the emperor was young, he was not only handsome, but also personable and talented. He is definitely not comparable to Gao Changqing."

Yu Wenhua and this guy were standing on the side, and immediately echoed with a smile: "The empress's words are not bad, how can Gao Changqing compare with the emperor, it is nothing like mud."

Yang Guang laughed loudly and said: "The beauty of my wife is selfish; the beauty of Yuwen's love is also fear of me."

Empress Xiao covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is telling the truth."

"The minister is also telling the truth, otherwise the emperor can ask everyone." Yu Wenhuaji smiled obsequiously. In an instant, there were a lot of compliments around, and only Princess Yicheng laughed.

Gao Bufan was very speechless, he felt like he had entered a zoo, but now he is that animal for people to visit and comment on, a grandma's!
Yang Guang stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Gao Changqing, what do you think?"

"The grass people are far inferior to the emperor. Just as the servant Shaoqing said, the emperor is as noble and shining as the clouds in the sky, and the grass people are just a pile of mud on the ground, which stinks!" Gao Bufan said very "sincerely".

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. Empress Xiao was even more trembling with laughter, and Yu Wenhuaji also laughed flatteringly, but there was a gloomy and vigilant hidden in his eyes, probably because he regarded Gao Bufan as a powerful ass. competitors.

However, Gao Bufan knew that he and Yufang Huaji were not in the same way at all, and he should not do such things as making dragon farts occasionally. It really made him surround Yang Guang every day to flatter him. Guang finished dealing with it, and then hurried away.
