Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 422 Visiting (3000)

Jin Wang Gao Xiaozhang has been resident in the household department for three days. When he was drawn to the household department in the Mingguang Palace, the joy of being able to control the empire's money bag has long since disappeared.

Full of ambition, he wanted to make achievements to show his father and courtiers, but the reality gave him a heavy blow.

It's not about Gao Xiaozhang's ability, but because there is no room for him to display his talents.

This household department is simply Cui Jishu's talk, no matter how big or small, Gao Xiaozhang can't get in his mouth at all. Think about it, the household department is in charge of household registration, land, money and valley administration, and tribute distribution. The power is so important, how can you feel relieved? 13 The young man acted recklessly.

It was only then that Gao Xiaozhang really understood what his father said about learning, that is really just to be a little tail behind Cui Jishu's buttocks, listening to his precepts and deeds.

If you want to intervene in the specific affairs of the household department, you must wait for Gao Cheng to test his academic achievements in the household department in the future.

The fortunes of Gao Cheng's four sons in the six ministries were not bad, but each had their own gains. Of course, the third son, Gao Xiaowan, who worked in the Ministry of Officials, was the one who gained the most. As a prince, he can directly access the archives of officials at all levels and from all over the place, review the past specific assessment results, and identify fools.

As the best candidate for Sinicizing Xianbei and Gu Nian's benevolent people, after Gao Xiaowan gained the right to found the government, countless people came to join him one after another, but he still maintained the personality of seeking talents.

When looking through official files, the name of Zhongzu Teng, the chief minister of the Ministry of Rites and Shrine, came into Gao Xiaowan's field of vision. He received the best grades in three consecutive assessments, which is enough to prove his talent.

As for the misdemeanor of stealing, Gao Xiaowan has a broad mind, so how could he care about minor mistakes.

After the duty was over, Gao Xiaowan sent someone to invite Zu Ting to Zhao Wang's mansion for a while. Gao Cheng thought that the princes were young and needed to stay overnight in the palace city, but he also left time for them to socialize. The guards of the palace gate would give the four princes Keep the door until Haishi, that is, nine o'clock in the evening, and it will be locked after Haishi.

Tonight, the Prince Zhao's Mansion held another banquet. While Gao Xiaowan was having a drink with all his staff members, they were also waiting for Zu Teng to visit the mansion. Of course, the staff members drank wine, Gao Xiaowan was only nine years old, and they drank tea.

It's not just him, Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu also use tea instead of wine every night these days, and feast with newly arrived guests to deepen their relationship.

As we all know, Gao Cheng felt that he was hurt by alcohol and sex, so he quit drinking. Unless he was celebrating with the generals, or having fun with the soldiers in the military camp, he would not drink at all.

He doesn't touch alcohol himself, so naturally he doesn't allow his sons to be accompanied by alcohol and sex at a young age, and empty their bodies.

When the banquet was in full swing, someone reported that Zu Ting was not in the mansion, and it was said that he had gone to pay a visit to King Lu.

"Hmph, a cock-crowding dog thief with eyes but no eyes."

After all, she was only nine years old, Gao Xiaowan's morality was still much worse than that of her two elder brothers, she couldn't hold back her anger for a while, and complained.

But he quickly realized that such a statement seemed narrow-minded, and he laughed calmly with his assistants:

"Even though he has talent, he has no virtue. He is doomed not to be ranked among the sages. There is no regret in losing it."

For a while, the singing and dancing in Prince Zhao's Mansion resumed, and the upper and lower levels were full of joy.

Of course, the nine-year-old Gao Xiaowan raised many singers and dancers, all of whom came in these days, so the banquet should not be too plain.

He is not the only one who has this idea, the four kings were given the mansion, and they even sent people to the singing and dancing workshop to select beautiful women to enter the mansion to entertain the guests with their beauty, even Lu Wang Gao Xiaoguan was no exception.

When he met four big money lords, the value of the prostitutes kept rising. Gao Cheng never imagined that the sons finally came to be brothers, but they all pushed up the prices of Luoyang's entertainment industry.

Yesterday, Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu made a private visit to Goulan to listen to the music, and found that he couldn't find any young and beautiful young women, only half-aged women who had lost their charm, and the price was even more expensive than in the past. Angry, he learned that his sons were throwing coins and bought them all, but they couldn't get angry, so they could only leave the money and went to Yaoguang Temple full of complaints to calm down.

Of course, the kabuki girls in Gao Xiaozhang's and other people's houses were performing arts but not their bodies. No matter how the four of them wooed their staff and followers, they would not dare to turn their house into a prostitution den, otherwise they would lose their reputation.

When his father was the eldest son, his position was very stable, so he could naturally disregard his reputation, but Gao Xiaozhang and others had to be careful about setting up a person in front of others.

In Prince Lu's mansion, Gao Xiaoguan sat in a side room, enjoying his dinner quietly.

He bought a lot of kabuki girls after his three brothers, but they are not available for the time being.

It can't be said that there is no one to turn to these days. Anyway, he is also the fourth prince, and he is a prince. There are always people who want to try their luck, but every time they have a discussion with people, they find that they are talented and worthy of serious treatment. not even one.

Those who want to make a living, Gao Xiaoguan also takes them in to work in the mansion, and those who covet official positions, send them out of the mansion with all their gifts.

As for the person who came to visit with official status, Zu Ting was still the first one.

Jin Wang, Qin Wang, and Zhao Wang, none of the three looked more promising than Lu Wang, and they all already had official positions. Who would be willing to be labeled as the Lu Wang Party.

Therefore, when Gao Xun, the captain of Gao Xiaoguan's guard, heard the report from his subordinates and learned that someone was visiting him, and went out to see Zu Teng, who was returning home and changed into a normal uniform, he just thought he was another person seeking an official who came to try his luck. .

Of course Gao Xiaoguan had his own guards, and Gao Cheng would not let his son touch the military power, but he would also send guards for them outside the palace to protect their safety.

He was not biased towards the four of them, and all of them were assigned hundreds of guards.

Gao Xun is the captain of the guard under Gao Xiaoguan's command. He claims to be from the Bohai Gao family.

After all, these days, even if the original surname is Xu, he can force himself on the Gao family of Bohai. Someone Xu actually entered the clan genealogy. .

Although both father and son Gao Huan and Gao Cheng insisted on their identity as Han Chinese from the Bohai Gao family, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Bohai Gao family was not equivalent to the clan. Only the descendants of Gao Cheng’s great-grandfather Gao Hu could be included in the clan. , Gao Longzhi is just a special case.

"I also ask my little brother to report on your behalf, and Zu Ting, the doctor of the temple department, asked to see King Lu."

Zu Teng reported his family name, and when he learned that it was an official visit, Gao Xun dared not neglect to immediately invite Zu Teng into the front yard for a drink of tea, while he himself went into the back yard to teach him.

In the wing room, Gao Xiaoguan, who was eating, put down his chopsticks and muttered after hearing the news:
"Zu Ting, the doctor of the temple department?"

"It's this person, has His Highness seen it or not?"

Gao Xun asked for instructions again.

Gao Xiaoguan nodded and said:

"It's okay to see you."

Of course Gao Xiaoguan knew about Zu Ting, and Chen Yuankang was also Chen Yuankang's close friend, and Chen Yuankang was one of the eight brothers who dared not ignore him. They all knew that although Chen Yuankang had served his grandfather Gao Huan for many years, he was his father Gao Cheng's confidant. It belongs to one of the five cultures and three martial arts.

The five articles are Chen Yuankang, Yang Min, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, and Zhao Yanshen who was recently transferred back to Luoyang to serve as Minister of Rites and also serves as a servant.

The three martial arts are Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi.

Except for Cui Xian, the eight people were all Gao Cheng's civil and military confidantes when he was in Luoyang when he first came to town, and they had a deep friendship with him.

Gao Xiaoguan's willingness to meet Zu Teng was actually because of Chen Yuankang's sake, after all, this man's reputation as a cockroach and a dog thief is too bad.

If Gao Xiaowan hadn't been surprised by the specific deeds of his past evaluations when he was looking through the official files, he would not have sent someone to summon him if he believed that this person was a great talent.

When Zu Teng was brought to the wing room by Gao Xun, a maid had already cleaned up the dishes in the room.

Although I am used to seeing the handsome faces of their Gao family, seeing Gao Xiaoguan himself, I am still shocked at how this eight-year-old boy can be born with such a good appearance. Not a blessing.

But it was only a momentary absence, Zu Ting bowed to salute and said:

"My lower official, Zu Teng, pays my respects to His Royal Highness King Lu."

"There is no need to be polite in Zu Lang, please sit down."

Gao Cheng no longer pays attention to etiquette, but Gao Xiaoguan has been educated by a serious prince after all, at least he can't find any faults in the etiquette of dealing with people.

"I don't know why Zu Langzhong came here today?"

Zu Ting glanced at the servants serving in the room, but smiled and said nothing.

"You wait and step back first."

Gao Xiaoguan waved his hand to let everyone wait in the yard, and all the servants came out with their heads bowed, leaving only Gao Xun with a knife to accompany him.

"Establishing heirs since ancient times, inheriting the guardianship, and inheriting the cultural traditions are the foundation of the country. Today, the queen died early, leaving only one daughter, and there are four kings standing side by side. If a grand policy is not made early, the country will be in trouble."

Zu Teng had just finished speaking, but Gao Xiaoguan said with a smile:

"Zu Langzhong's words should persuade Father Huang, why bother talking to Guan."

Zu Ting didn't take it seriously, and expressed his feelings directly, his words were full of self-confidence:
"Your Majesty has been slow to choose a candidate for the crown prince, but he wants to choose the most suitable person among the kings. This is to help His Highness stand out among the kings."

Gao Xiaoguan said to himself, in a loud tone, but with a calm smile on his face, he said:

"I have three elder brothers who are intelligent and enlightened. They are all outstanding for a while, and they are all looked up to by everyone. If Zulang Zhong wants to make a decision, he should find my elder brother and come to my Lu Palace for what."

When interacting with others, the most taboo is shallow words and profound words. Gao Xiaoguan intends to reserve a position to be true, but he will not easily express his heart to Zu Ting who met for the first time.

Zu Ting also understood this truth, but he had already figured out what the king of Lu was thinking before he came. If he had no intention of competing with the three elder brothers, how could he study hard at the Ministry of Justice and dossiers these days.

This is not like the behavior of a prince who has no intention of seizing the throne and is willing to be a wild crane.

Zu Teng took his time and told Gao Xiaoguan all about what he thought about yesterday about the situation of the reserve position dispute.

'According to what he said, it is still my advantage that my co-author Amu is not known to outsiders. '

This opinion is really good, Gao Xiaoguan didn't dare to underestimate the person in front of him anymore, ordered someone to bring tea, and sat down with Zu Ting to discuss it.

There is no custom of serving tea to see off guests these days. This custom began in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.
