The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Although Gao Ming didn't manage them directly, he was also his boss, so he left after making sure there was nothing wrong.

After scaring Yang Jian enough, Gao Ming smiled and let go, "Eunuch Yang, it's me, didn't I scare you? You don't blame me, do you?"

The emperor even told him not to worry about it, and he could only answer that he didn't blame him.

Gao Ming asked Li Yan again: "What about you?"

Li Yan was a little scared of Gao Ming, "I won't either."

"Ah, actually, I thought about it when I went back. It was indeed our fault yesterday, so Murong Yanze and I decided to treat you to a meal today. We apologize, and you must give us some face." Gao Ming said.

Yang Jian felt comfortable, so he had a bit of an attitude.

But he didn't want to, so he heard Gao Ming continue: "The location is in the house I'm building."

Taking back what I just said, this little bastard is not sincere at all: "Is that the haunted house yesterday?"

"The haunted house is only part of it. There is a hole in it, and there are other rooms. If you are willing to show your face, I will show you without reservation."

Get lost, little bastard, do you think I will still be fooled?The haunted house has already lost half of its life, who knows what evil thoughts you have hidden, "Forget it, I'm not angry with you, so the treat is just forgivable, I have other things and I can't get away."

"So, this matter is over?" Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Will you hate Murong Yanze and me because of this matter?"

Yang Jian bit his back teeth and said: "Of course, I forgot it long ago! I won't mention it in front of others." Isn't that what I want, here you go, don't scare me anymore, okay?

"I knew that Eunuch Yang has a big heart! How could he care about us juniors because of such a trivial matter." Gao Ming said with a smile, then made a fake bow, turned and left.

He felt that after this toss, Yang Jian would no longer be interested in the house he was building, not to mention sneaking a look at it, even if he was leading him, he would not bring him in to have a look.

Another point is that he now wants to ask for the shadow area in Yang Jian's heart.

-

Because Shi Jin and Lu Zhi went deep into Tokyo to ambush Cui Niannu, which brought a lot of shock to Cui Niannu.

Afterwards, he prepared a gift to send, and also said words of comfort.

Cui Niannu naturally said that the yamen was too polite, but the gift was not missed.

Seeing that his small building on Yanyue Street was about to be finished, he came to discuss with Cui Niannu about asking her for help.

Cui Niannu said worriedly: "After thinking about it, I still feel that I have no idea."

"Miss Cui, your reputation is equal to Master Li's. If she can do it, why can't you do it? Are you willing to fall behind?"

Cui Niannu was still a little hesitant, "But, the official family doesn't like the Nu family. If the official family wanted to see the Nu family, they would have already come to the Nu family. They also live in Yanyue Street, but he has never stepped in. "

Gao Ming admits that the emperor likes young people who are young, and likes the faintly sad tone of Li Shishi, but he doesn't like Cui Niannu, who is so energetic and glamorous.

However, things like beauty will also change with the occasion, and it is possible to find the right time for your own beauty to appear, and it is still possible to be favored.

Moreover, Zhao Ji is like a big resource pit. Everyone comes here to dig for a while to get the resources they want. Li Shishi can mine, and Cui Niannu can naturally dig two shovels.

Besides, Li Shishi and Zhao Ji are not true love. While entertaining Zhao Ji, Li Shishi also made friends with Zhou Bangyan and others. Once Zhou Bangyan even went in front, and Zhao Ji entered Li Shishi's house behind him, blocking Zhou Bangyan under the bed. It can be called Shura field.

Zhou Bangyan still did not forget to create while under the bed. Seeing Zhao Ji and Li Shishi peeling and eating oranges, inspiration exploded, and he wrote a new poem "Youth Tour"

Later, once, Li Shishi sang this poem to Zhao Ji for some reason.

As soon as Zhao Ji heard the key words in it, he knew that Zhou Bangyan had heard him and Li Shishi under the bed at that time, so he ordered Zhou Bangyan to be expelled from Tokyo.

As a result, Zhou Bangyan wrote another poem, which was sung by Li Shishi to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji called him back when he was happy.

It doesn't matter whether Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi are good or not, Zhao Ji can pardon him as soon as he is in a good mood. If Zhou Bangyan and the concubine are replaced, the grass on the grave is probably a few inches high.

In essence, Zhao Ji knew what Li Shishi's position was, and he didn't take it very seriously.

"Since you said so, I will give it a try and wait for your orders." Cui Niannu smiled and said, "By the way, Ya Nei, the two people who came to see you last time were Jiuwen whom you knew in Liangshan. Long Shijin and Hua Monk Lu Zhishen, right? Then Shi Jin really did what you said, and was loyal to you, so you are so sad to leave without saying goodbye. Although they tied up the slave family, the slave family can understand his feelings."

As he said that, he sighed leisurely, feeling the same way.

She looked out the window with complicated eyes, and there was a story behind it.

Gao Ming felt that Cui Niannu might be thinking about some scumbag in the distance, or a man she had scumbags, and he thought it would be better for her to savor the memories, "Then I'll leave, and I'll let you know as soon as there is any news from my side. you."

Cui Niannu sent Gao Ming out, "My family is waiting in the yamen, don't forget about my family."

Gao Ming promised: "No, no."

Cui Niannu didn't have any problems on his side, all that was left was to complete the work completely, and then find a time when the time, place and people were harmonious to attract the emperor to his side.

-

This day Gao Ming was going out to the construction site again, and just as he went out, he ran into Gao Qi who was coming back from the outside. Gao Ming said hello and was about to go to work on his own, but was caught by his father and dragged back to the study.

"What? I'm busy."

"What have you been up to lately? Running out all day!" Gao Qiu asked his son with a sullen face, "Aren't you messing around again? What kind of haunted house did you build last time? It scared Yang Jian so much that he couldn't sleep for days. Don't think I don't Know."

Of course, it's true that it's funny, but now he can't laugh when his son is talking about business.

"I've explained it to the officials. He insisted on going in. He was playing with Murong Yanze and us. Who told him to join in the fun?" Gao Ming muttered.

"Okay, let's not talk about him." Gao Qiu urged: "Father told you, you have been more stable recently. Empress Rongde and Empress Maode have grown up, and they will get married in the last year. You have been doing well recently. , the age is suitable, if the officials are satisfied, you are very likely to marry one of the two emperor concubines back home."

"what?"

"Father is talking to you, can you not be distracted. I said, there are two imperial concubines who are going out of the court to marry. Now that you are favored in front of the official family, and you have King Yun on the side to help you, our Gao family may be able to help you." Marry someone who came in, don't you want to be a son-in-law?"

Gao Ming's heart skipped a beat, Hua Rong's displeased face suddenly appeared in front of him for some reason, he quickly shivered and shook his head.

"Why are you shaking your head?" Gao Qiu thought his son would be happy.

"How old are Maode Diji and Ander Diji? I think they are only eleven or twelve years old, and they are still children."

"Now we have to discuss the marriage and choose a son-in-law. It takes more than a year to prepare the dowry and various etiquette. I am just 13 years old when I am getting married."

"Pull it down, I'm already 20 years old, do you think we're suitable?"

"Why is it inappropriate? Isn't this a good match? You see that there is a gap in age now, and it will be fine in a few years." Gao Qiu said: "The only one who can compete with you now is the fifth child of Cai Jing's family, but He is still a kid, this year is either fourteen or fifteen, unlike you, he has already made achievements in front of the government, so if you show a little bit, dad will give you good words, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get the emperor Our family."

"Farewell." Gao Ming said righteously: "I refuse, I don't like little girls!"

Of course Gao Qiu knew his son's virtue, and he liked Mrs. Lin who was a little older. "Is it time to discuss whether you like it or not? Diji, princess! Don't you want to be the official's son-in-law?"

"What's so good about being a son-in-law? You see, the official family is in its prime, and there are only seventeen princesses alive now. In the future, emperors will be born one after another. If these emperors are all married off, there must be more than twenty concubines. None are precious."

Zhao Ji's brother had no children after his death. He was good. The number of sons and daughters exploded. It would be better to give his brother a little more.

Gao Qi didn't say anything, "It's not your turn to be twenty, you are more aggrieved."

"Tell the truth, don't be aggrieved."

"But I'm aggrieved. Father just wants to see you marry the most noble girl in the world, and only a princess can match you."

Gao Ming had long expected that he would shine so brightly in his father's eyes, but he really didn't want to marry the princess, "Just let me play for a few more years, I don't want to invite a little ancestor to pay homage at home."

"But……"

"Don't worry, just like me, after marrying the princess and neglecting others, she ran back to her father and cried, wouldn't it cause more trouble, it would be better not to marry." Gao Ming didn't want to waste time talking about it with his father. , "I'm still busy, I have to go."

Gao Qiu looked at his son's back and thought, alas, dad still thinks the princess is the best match for you.

-

Finally, summer is gone and autumn is coming, the noisy summer is over, and the harvest and comfortable autumn are ushered in.

Gao Ming's building was finally completed. During this process, Yang Jian, who was overly frightened, completely lost interest in it. Not only himself, but also no one was sent to see it.

Others have heard through various channels that Eunuch Yang was terribly frightened at Yanyue Street, and now he has seven or eight people to accompany him to sleep at night, and the lights in the room are not allowed to be turned off at night, and several candles have to be lit all night.

Besides, Yang Jian was frightened, and no one was upholding justice for him. The emperor thought it was just a joke, a trivial matter, and others laughed at him for messing around with the juniors, no big or small.

In short, he was physically and mentally injured, and had to knock out teeth and swallow blood.

With Yang Jian as a lesson from the past, no one would dare to be interested in Gao Ming's house on Yanyue Street.

Confidentiality is very good.

The weather is getting colder, and the streets are like sprinkled with salt, and there are fine snowflakes, like broken jade.

But in order to see Li Shishi, Zhao Ji did not change his interest, and came bravely in the wind and snow, and Li Shishi naturally entertained him warmly.

Yan Qing and Yang Jian were waiting outside.

It is well known that Yan Qing and Gao Yanei have a good relationship, and it is also known that Yang Jian and Gao Yanei have a bad relationship.

But both of them were doing things in front of the emperor, they looked up and down, they both pretended to be in peace, with faint smiles on their faces, and they also pretended to have a friendly conversation.

Yang Jian had nothing to say first, "It's really cold this winter, when will someone's jaw freeze off."

Yan Qing smiled and said: "Yeah, it's colder than last year. It's so cold that I can't do anything. It would be great if there is a warm place to spend time."

Yang Jian said: "I'm an old man, it's good to stay in a warm room in winter, unlike you, I can't stay."

Yan Qing smiled and said: "Where is it, the father-in-law is in good health both physically and mentally."

Yang Jian smiled and thought to himself, I know what you said is a lie, but it's just pleasant to hear.

The two were chatting, when Zhao Ji suddenly came out from the inside, they both stood up hurriedly, "Guanjia."

Yang Jian wondered, why did the emperor come out so soon?

Zhao Ji said disappointedly: "She is not feeling well, go back to the palace."

It turned out that the weather changed suddenly, and Li Shishi caught wind and cold. The emperor came, and he managed to hold on for a while. Come out, tell her to go to bed early.

At this time, Li Shishi walked out with his body supported, and said softly: "Officials, be careful, it's cold and the road is slippery."

Zhao Ji also said softly: "Go back and rest quickly."

But Li Shishi still sent the official's house to the door in a polite manner, and then walked back with the help of the maid.

Zhao Ji came here full of enthusiasm, he didn't want Li Shishi to catch a cold, it would be a disappointment, and he didn't want to go back to the palace.

Yan Qing saw it, and immediately realized that this was an excellent time, "The official, Xiao Yi knows a good place, maybe the official likes it."

Zhao Ji wanted to have fun tonight, "Where?"

"A few days ago, the Little Happy Forest built by Gaotidian is at the end of Yanyue Street, not far from here."

Little Merry Forest?Listening to the name is very attractive.Zhao Ji became interested, "Then lead me to have a look."

When Yang Jian heard that the address was at the end of Yanyue Street, he wished he could hug Zhao Ji's leg to stop him, "You can't go, the official's house, it's dangerous there, that's where the old slave was frightened, the official's house, there are ghosts in there, don't you You must not go."

Zhao Ji looked at Yan Qing suspiciously, and Yan Qing immediately assured, "It's not a place, who has the brains to fool the officials?"

Zhao Ji thinks the same, unless Gao Ming has a brain problem, besides, he is interested tonight, he wants to see what is inside, even if it is a scary thing, how scary it can be, it can scare Yang Jian into fainting.

"Then you lead the way." Zhao Ji said to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing happily said: "Yes."

Yang Jian was still chattering and persuading, "Officials, there really are female ghosts inside, and now this old slave dares not turn off the lights and go to sleep at night. There are also hanged ghosts who have no heads."

Yan Qing saw that his words became more and more mysterious, and said: "Eunuch Yang, I have been there before, and what I want to say is that it is a beautiful paradise, a gentle place on earth, and I haven't seen anything scary."

Zhao Ji said to Yang Jian: "Xiao Yi has already said so, so go and have a look, okay, don't say any more. Li Shishi is here, I will come again in the future."

The emperor misunderstood him because he was afraid that Li Shishi's favor would be taken away. After all, Li Shishi was the one who matched Li Shishi with Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was wronged, he was really afraid that His Majesty would be frightened.

But after thinking about it, hum, it's not bad to be scared, it depends on how Gao Ming and Yan Qing step down.

Braving the light snow, followed by the guards, Zhao Ji and a group of people stepped on the snow to the front of the small courtyard.

Yan Qing knocked on the door, it was a door guarded by a servant, he recognized Yan Qing, "So it's Brother Yi, come in quickly." Seeing Zhao Ji and Yang Jian again, he just smiled and said: "It's Brother Yi's friends, right? Inside please, inside please."

The small courtyard is neat, but unremarkable. Walking around the courtyard, I saw a building, and I could see the light of red candles inside. There were people moving from time to time, and there was the sound of pianos and zithers. It was very lively.

At this time, I saw Gao Ming and Murong Yanze coming out of the building, they both bowed and said: "I didn't expect the official to come, I am far away from welcoming you, I hope the official will forgive me."

They are all my own people, so there is no need to be so polite, Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Forget it, I didn't inform you."

Seeing that Gao Ming and Murong Yanze were both there, Yang Jian understood that they must have found out that Li Shishi was ill, and knew that it was very likely that Yan Qing would lead the emperor here tonight, so he waited here early.

Gao Ming said: "It's cold outside, come in quickly, the officials." He opened the door himself and told the officials to come in first, while the guards stayed outside the door and waited.

When Zhao Ji walked into the building, he saw a spacious hall with a red carpet on the floor, extending to the second floor, but there were corridors on both sides of the first floor, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the rooms on both sides of the corridor.

As soon as Yang Jian saw that it didn't look haunted, he knew that Gao Ming and the others must have rebuilt it later, or maybe only part of it was a haunted house, at least the location they were in was not.

"What are these rooms?" Zhao Ji pointed to one of them.

"Officials please." Murong Yanze led the way, came to the front of the room, and slowly pulled the sliding door open.

When Zhao Ji saw the scene inside, he couldn't help being taken aback, and saw a dozen or so beautiful women in costumes sitting around a large table, playing a tune.

It's just that these women are not dressed as they are now, but... wearing Tang Dynasty costumes, hair accessories and makeup are also Tang Dynasty.

At this time, a woman with a black hair in a bun turned her head to see them and said with a smile, "Who are you?"

She put down the pipa in her hand, got up and walked towards them.

Zhao Ji saw that she was wearing a bright and elegant high-waisted skirt, with light rouge on her cheeks and around the corners of her eyes, as if she was drunk, making her eyes look hazy, like a layer of water mist, gentle and attractive.

At this time, there was another woman who was not seated, but stood aside, also came forward to greet him.

Zhao Ji saw that she was wearing Tang Dynasty men's clothes, she was charming and heroic, and she was also attractive.

Fresh, really fresh.

Zhao Ji was gently tugged by the sleeves of the two women, and was brought into the house with a smile on his face.

He took a closer look at them.These women are sitting in front of a big table, on which there is a tea kettle full of tea soup, and some women are scooping out tea soup from it, and each of them is either playing music, or drinking tea leisurely.

Zhao Ji finally realized it suddenly, and he felt that this scene was familiar to him.

Isn't this the present of the painting "Tangren Palace Music Picture".

These women seem to have come out of the painting, they are no longer flat characters in the painting, but vivid, flesh and blood in front of him.

At this time, the woman pulled him by the sleeves, told him to sit down, and scooped him a bowl of tea, "Today we sneak here to play and drink tea, please don't tell others."

The other women said: "I'll play another song for you, you have to keep it a secret for us."

After all, the one in charge of playing the silk and bamboo is equally famous again, and the one who is drinking tea smiles and surrounds him to drink tea with Zhao Ji.

Each of them looked like they came out of the Tang Dynasty court no matter in their clothes or makeup. Zhao Ji just felt dizzy. For a moment, he didn't know whether they walked out of the painting or he entered the painting. .

Gao Ming and others didn't go in, they were all waiting at the door, leaving only Zhao Ji immersed in it.

He looked at the excited Zhao Ji, and gave Murong Yanze and Yan Qing a smug wink.

Murong Yanze nodded to him in admiration.

Seeing that the emperor liked it, Gao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, role-playing ancient famous paintings was very much to Zhao Ji's liking.

Everyone has a dream of a faint king, and in the dream there is a forest of wine and meat.

Even Zhao Ji, who is already the emperor, is no exception, but there are too many people in the palace to play recklessly.

Besides, he is an artist by nature, even if he indulges, it must be done in a serious wine pool and meat forest.

It is a good choice to let Zhao Ji travel through time. In the paintings he is familiar with and loves, playing to his heart's content is simply the perfect combination of art and enjoyment.

That's all for a song, Zhao Ji wanted to stay with these people for a while, but he didn't want these beauties to laugh and said: "We only have tea here, so we can't entertain you any more. If you are hungry, I know that Han Xizai is playing Banquet." As he spoke, he pointed to the upstairs, "Here, it's upstairs, you can go there quickly."

Han Xizai?A picture of Han Xizai's night banquet?

Zhao Ji clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go." After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the door, and said to Gao Ming and others: "Take me upstairs again."

Yang Jian has served the emperor for many years, and Han Xizai has heard of him to some extent being somewhat artistic.

He finally understood that these court ladies in Tang suits must also be characters in famous paintings.

This is no longer good at playing, no one can play Gao Ming!

Just when he was dumbfounded, Gao Ming and the others had gone far away, and he remembered what happened in the building before, and said in a panic, "Wait, wait for me—"

When he chased after him, he saw that Zhao Ji and others had already entered another room, so he quickly chased after him.

This is a very spacious big house, there are dozens of people inside, but most of them are singers.

On the bed right after entering the door, a man with a long beard and a black hat was sitting, watching singers playing the pipa. Beside him was a man in red, with one hand on the bed and the other on his lap. Everyone was attracted by the excitement in front of them.

This scene is exactly the restoration of Han Xizai's night banquet picture.

As soon as Zhao Ji and the others appeared, there was a brief pause in the excitement.

The black-bearded man sitting on the bed opened his eyelids to look at Zhao Ji, "This is my Han Shuyan's banquet, my concubine Wang Wushan is playing the pipa, would you like to have fun with me?"

Uncle Yan is written by Han Xizai, and Zhao Ji saw that his attire was exactly the same as that in the painting, so he couldn't help saying happily, "Of course, Xiaoyi, you play and sing a song with her."

The girl named Wangwushan was born charming, and she also played the pipa well. She played and sang with Yanqing, and asked other singers to dance with her. The scene was like a dream and a painting.

Han Xizai gave up a seat on the bed to Zhao Ji, "Looking at your appearance, you must also know the rhythm, take your seat quickly." He got out of bed with another man in red and gave Zhao Ji the highest seat.

There were delicious fruits and delicacies on the table, and Zhao Ji felt a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, listening to the music while eating, as if the protagonist of the banquet was not Han Xizai, but him.

Gao Ming and Murong Yanze stood next to the singer who was serving on the side, not making a sound easily, so as not to call Zhao Ji into a play, and of course they were also wary of Yang Jian, lest he do anything wrong.

However, Yang Jian should have noticed that this is Gao Ming and Murong Yanze's place, and he couldn't move it down by himself, so he just watched with a gloomy face.

At the end of the song, Wang Wushan, Han Xizai's favorite concubine, danced the Liuyao Dance again. It was a graceful dance, and the skirt twirled, making people mesmerized.

At this time, following the tune, she jumped in front of Zhao Ji, and offered a glass of wine coquettishly. Zhao Ji, who was immersed in this luxurious and noisy banquet, drank it all without thinking. He wanted to take the woman to the banquet to accompany the wine But the woman just smiled, turned around, returned to the center of the room, and continued to jump up.

Finally, Zhao Ji's appetite was whetted, and he came back to him again. This time, Zhao Ji grabbed her and told her to sit down and drink with him.

And other singers added to it, taking over Wang Wushan and continuing to dance to please Zhao Ji.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Gao Ming, Murong Yanze and Yan Qing got up quietly one after another, and retreated without alarming Zhao Ji.

Yang Jian didn't want to leave, but was dragged and dragged by three young people, and was dragged out of the door.

Listening to the laughter coming from the room, Yang Jian pointed at Gao Ming and Murong Yanze and said angrily, "You, you actually used these tricks to confuse the Holy One! What exactly are you trying to do?"

You have so much gossip at such a young age, how many years will you be able to pay back?You are the biggest treacherous minister since the founding of the country. It's over. The emperor favors you. Is our Great Song Dynasty about to end? !

Sad, sad.

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Hey, it's not appropriate to say this from your mouth."

As for what he can want to do, of course it is to follow the path of a courtier, leaving other courtiers with nowhere to go, being a favored minister, and eclipsing other courtiers.
