The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Corruption by a hundred civil officials is not as good as rebellion by a general.

This is basically the consensus of the royal family. The emperor of the Song Dynasty united with the civil servants to suppress the generals. It is all because of the self-respect of the Tang Dynasty Jiedu envoys who supported the soldiers and caused chaos in the world, leaving an indelible psychological shadow on everyone.

This is true for civil servants, but even more so for eunuchs.

Essentially just a house slave, what kind of storm can be caused.

Gao Mingge responded to Yang Jian mainly because his means of collecting money were too bad, directly harming ordinary people.

In order to earn money in the local area, he caused many people to go bankrupt.

Otherwise, it's their master and servant's job for him to steal the emperor's money, and Gao Ming will not dislike him for nothing.

But everything is settled today.

Gao Ming went back to the imperial city and went to Yang Jian's house with his staff in order.

When he was in Liangshan, he personally commanded soldiers to issue certificates, but now he just brought hundreds of people to search an eunuch's house without any risk, and he was easily captured.

When they arrived outside Yang Jian's mansion, they asked people to divide into several pairs, some followed him in, and some guarded the gates to make sure everything was safe.

"Women's family members are assigned to a separate courtyard, and servants are assigned to a courtyard. Don't let the few officials who are on the list be spared, and they must be screened one by one."

In fact, it's quite strange that an eunuch's family has a large number of female relatives, but he is a young man, but there are no women in his family.

This strange world.

"Master Gao, Master Gao—" Yang Jian came out of the main room, bowed respectfully, and almost cried, "Please, can you please be merciful?"

At this time, Yang Jian looked like a pet dog abandoned by its owner, begging for mercy at Gao Ming.

Gao Ming just said coldly: "I just came here to count the property you have been greedy for so many years according to the official's order. If the official didn't order me, I will not go out of the way."

Do as the official orders.

Standing beside Gao Ming, Yang Jian watched as the personnel of the Imperial City Division rushed into each house and removed all the property he had worked so hard to bring back home. Apart from crying, there was nothing he could do.

Gao Ming looked at him coldly, it's no wonder that there is no king in the world, unless Yang Jian had expected this day and transferred all his property out of the country, but he, a citizen of Song Dynasty, could still go to Liao Kingdom or Jin Kingdom no?

The development level of those two places is not a little bit worse than that of Tokyo.

All the meat will rot in Da Song's pot.

Yang Jian watched the house raiders coming in and out, knowing that he was completely powerless, his head sank, and he fell to the ground.

"Exactly, take them to Kaifeng Mansion." Gao Ming ordered.

At this time, someone reported that Eunuch Liang had come.

Gao Ming saw that Liang Shicheng had also brought some men, needless to say it was ordered by the officials.

Gao Ming guessed that Liang Shicheng should be sent to supervise him, fearing that he would enrich his own pocket during the house raid.

Gao Ming doesn't care, it's better for Zhao Ji to send someone here, so as not to be suspected by Zhao Ji in the future.

Liang Shicheng, as Yang Jian's colleague, has no sympathy for Yang Jian's failure, "The officials asked me to come, didn't you bother Mr. Gao?"

"You came at the right time. I felt that there were not enough manpower just now. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I would have to call for more manpower." Gao Ming laughed.

Liang Shicheng said: "Then let's sit in the room and wait for their report."

Gao Ming and Liang Shicheng went into the house and sat chatting, and waited until everything that needed to be searched was found, and boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and jade were all piled up in the courtyard, and then they were asked to start counting and registering them one by one.

Yang Jian hasn't been tossing around in vain all these years. His family has countless wealth. Of course, there are people who are greedy for ink, and there are officials from all over the country who respect him, but those who don't have time to spend, now they all belong to Zhao Guan's family.

Lian Liang Shicheng secretly thought that he knew that Lao Yang was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich.

Gao Ming thought to himself, probably when Zhao Ji saw the money, he should have the feeling of finding a passbook with a lot of money in an old wardrobe.

The house search was carried out in the afternoon, and the silver and antique calligraphy and paintings on the surface were searched.

That night, Yang Jian's housekeeper was interrogated and dug three feet of the ground to dig up the silver taels buried in the ground.

On the second day, the final screening was carried out, and all the good stones and flowers in Yang Jian's garden were also counted, and they were moved to Gen Yue on a certain day.

Like a comb, it completely stroked Yang Jian from head to toe.

Seeing the list submitted, Zhao Ji lost even the last bit of hesitation and pity, "It turns out that he was not wronged!"

But I am also happy in my heart, just like finding lost property, I have the joy of getting windfall money, and most importantly, I have money to buy the World Expo Hall.

Liang Shicheng hinted: "Yang Jian is locked in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, waiting for your fate."

Zhao Ji's face darkened, and the simplest thing was to reward Yang Jian with a glass of wine.

In this dynasty, there are two situations for giving imperial wine. First, the emperor likes you very much and rewards the imperial wine to express his relationship with his courtiers. Second, the emperor is very disgusted. He rewards the imperial wine with a glass of imperial wine. , most people still can't get this kind of treatment.

But in the end, the image of an old slave who would bow and kneel every time he saw him came to Zhao Ji's mind, "Forget it, let's go back to my hometown."

Liang Shicheng said: "Yes."

Based on Yang Jian's seething public grievances, even if he was penniless and was spared his life by the emperor, where would he have a place to live? !

I am afraid that the final fate is that in the cold winter of this year, there will be another corpse that freezes to death in the corner.

-

Gao Ming got out of the carriage with a sore back and back, and walked towards the mansion with a painful expression on his face. He wanted to go back to his room to have a good sleep, but his father sent someone to call him to the study.

"Father, can't you wait until I wake up to say anything?" Gao Ming yawned, "I didn't sleep last night, and I spent the whole night digging silver at Yang's house."

Gao Qiu stared, "That's what I want to ask you. The officials asked you to confiscate Yang Jian's family property. I didn't know about such a big matter! You persuaded the officials to confiscate Yang Jian's family, but you didn't discuss it with me."

Gao Qiu was originally very happy that his son was favored by the officials, but as time went by, he became worried because his son started to encourage the officials to attack other people.

"Father, I know what you mean. You think I'm bewitching the lord with evil words, offering slander, and defrauding other favorite ministers, right?" Gao Ming asked back.

Gao Qiu asked suspiciously: "Isn't it?" Is there something else hidden?

Who knows the next sentence, the son said: "It is indeed so."

Your kid is gasping for breath!Gao Qiu said angrily: "Your father, I will be pissed off by you sooner or later, tell me why you did this?"

Why, firstly, he hates Yang Jian, and secondly, he also wants to test the method of bewitching the emperor. Yang Jian is the best to deal with, so let him be the first to do it.

If he couldn't even deal with Yang Jian, how could he deal with Zhu Man and even Cai Jing.

And he also wanted to test whether his grasp of Zhao Ji's temperament was accurate, and whether the way he chose was correct.

Zhao Ji is not a fool, he doesn't think that what you say is loyal, he will listen to it.

On the contrary, he is very smart. If he is asked to take part in the imperial examination and write an article on state governance, he may write more beautifully than anyone else.

The words of the sage, the high-sounding principles, he can say that there is no repetition in the basket, which is better than many courtiers who were born as Jinshi.

Even the harsh words of the so-called loyal ministers sounded nothing new to him, and they were all written in the books. Is my reading worse than yours?

You understand, don't I understand?bother!

I understand the truth, but I just don't do it, I just want to live happily.

To deal with such an extremely selfish emperor, he could only follow his mind and achieve his goal in a roundabout way.

Facts have proved that Gao Ming's countermeasures are correct.

The emperor must first feel that it is profitable for him to do something before it can be done.

But Gao Ming will not tell his true thoughts, neither can his father, "Why else, of course, it is to please the officials. He is short of money. I said Yang Jian has money, and then he takes a fancy to Yang Jian who has accumulated it for so many years. If the officials don't open their mouths, who can move Yang Jian?"

Gao Qiu doesn't like fighting, he just wants to be his captain in peace, and reminds his son, "In short, you have a sense of propriety, don't start any more factional disputes!"

Although this dynasty does not know how to cut off the heads of civil servants, it is not easy to be exiled. When one faction gains power, the other faction will get out of Tokyo like dumplings.

"It's just a eunuch, what's the point of fighting?" Gao Ming comforted, "Don't worry about it."

Gao Qiu also felt that his son was smart and could gain a firm foothold in front of the emperor, so he didn't need to remind him of many things, "Well, Dad believes in you. But you have to discuss it with Dad next time."

He found that his son was better than blue, and his son had more decision-making power than him in some matters.

"Well, then I'll go back and rest." Gao Ming knew in his heart that he would not discuss it with his father next time.

The corners of Gao Ming's eyes were full of trapped tears, rubbing them as he walked, and suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him, he knew it was Hua Rong without looking up, and he even knew what he was thinking, and said first: "Well, I just came back. "

Hua Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "How do you know what I want to ask? There is such a tacit understanding."

Gao Ming continued to rub his eyes.

"What's wrong? The wind and sand got into your eyes? Do you want me to blow it for you?"

Gao Ming imagined in his mind the scene of Hua Rong holding his face and blowing the dust out of his eyes. It was very delicate, so he hurriedly said, "No, I'm just sleepy, it's not that the wind and sand got into my eyes."

Hua Rong sighed softly, as if feeling sorry.

Gao Ming didn't answer, and walked towards the bedroom, Hua Rong walked with him, chatting about Yang Jian's ransacking of the house.

This is the most popular topic in Tokyo these days. If you don't know about it, it's not good to go to a teahouse to drink tea.

"I heard from outsiders that it was you who remonstrated with the officials, so the officials ordered Yang Jian to be imprisoned and helped him to copy his home."

Gao Ming thought to himself, Hua Rong had listened to the announcement he deliberately asked Shi Qian to spread.

However, Hua Rong knew about it, which means the effect is good.

"Really, I didn't expect people outside to say good things about me." Gao Ming pretended to be confused with understanding.

"In fact, the outside world shouldn't look at you with old eyes, everyone will change." Hua Rong said: "Anyway, it is now said that Yang Jian was brought down by you, and I can't praise you enough."

The enemy of the enemy is your friend, and you can adapt at any time.

The two walked side by side.

At this moment, Gao Li came out from the study and saw the backs of his son and Huarong from a distance, he thought with satisfaction, with the guidance of a good friend, his conduct is indeed much better. He used to covet other people's wives, but since he knew Huarong, he never got into such trouble.

Hua Rong sent Gao Ming to the door of the main house in his yard, and when he saw Gao Ming went in, he turned around and went to do his own business.

He rode out of the gate of Taiwei's mansion and headed towards the street.

Suddenly, he saw a carriage driving towards this side, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a somewhat familiar face.

It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking around curiously at the surrounding street scene.

Where have you seen it?Suddenly, Huarong remembered, isn't this Yin Tianci.

Uncle Gao Ming's brother-in-law.

When he put Gao Ming in prison by mistake, Hua Rong was entrusted by the old capital to persuade Gao Ming to come out. Yin Tianci, who was the chief culprit, was there at the time, so he met him.

But obviously, Yin Tianci didn't remember Hua Rong anymore. Seeing him looking at him, Yin Tianci asked, "Excuse me, is the Taiwei's mansion on this street?"

Hua Rong pointed to the front, "It will be there soon."

He saw Yin Tianci let out a long sigh of relief, "It's finally here!"

He watched Yin Tianci's convoy passing by him, heading towards Taiwei's mansion, and then he got on his horse and left.

What is Yin Tianci doing here?

Gao Ming slept until the afternoon before waking up, and then found that there were multiple people in the family: Yin Tianci.

His uncle Gao Lian's brother-in-law.

He personally slaps educated guys.

When Gao Ming went to Gaotangzhou to meet his uncle, the two of them had a bit of a festival, and Gao Ming taught him a lesson, so when they met this time, Yin Tianci respectfully bowed to him, and bowed again.

Gao Ming sipped his tea, "Didn't you study in Jeju, why did you come to Tokyo?"

"When I go back to the Yamen, my studies in Jeju have improved a bit, so my brother-in-law recommended me to go to the Imperial College and told me to study further. I just arrived in Tokyo today. I dare not delay, so I will visit the Taiwei and the Yamen immediately." Yin Tianci apologized and said with a smile: "I When I arrived, I met Hua Rong at the door, and he said that the Taiwei is not in the mansion, but the yamen is, so I have been waiting for you to wake up, hoping not to disturb the yamen's rest."

It turned out that Yin Tianci came to Tokyo to study, so today, he came to visit the pier.

Yin Tianci said, looking back at the brocade box held in the hands of the two servants, "My brother-in-law entrusted me to bring this, it is a little tribute to the Taiwei and Ya Nei."

Gao Ming wrote lightly: "Uncle, it's true, we are all a family, what gift do you bring?" He winked at the attendants and told them to carry it to the back.

Yin Tianci started the routine greetings, "Since we parted last time, I have been thinking about Ya Nei, especially when I heard the news that Ya Nei was killed in Qingzhou, I don't know how many tears I shed."

Gao Ming thought to himself, you are done, I am not your father, why are you shedding tears for me, to prevent him from continuing, "Okay, you go down and have a rest, wait for my father to come back at night, I will introduce you. "

Yin Tianci came to pay homage to the pier to ask for a cover. Hearing that he could see the Taiwei, he was very happy, "Thank you Ya Nei, thank you Ya Nei."

"No matter what kind of virtue you are in Gaotang State, but when you arrive in Tokyo, please be honest with me. If you deliberately find trouble for others, don't blame me for ignoring you."

Since Yin Tianci was taken care of by Gao Ming, he knew that there are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people, and dragons and tigers are hidden in Tokyo. How could he dare to make mistakes, so he hurriedly said: "The yamen's orders are true. You're causing trouble."

Gao Ming held the teacup in one hand, waved it with the other, and told the old man, "Take him down to rest."

Although Yin Tianci is only Gao Lian's brother-in-law, he is also a member of the Gao family, so when Gao Li heard that there was such a person, he still met him, said a few good words for his younger brother's sake, and asked him to eat. Tell him to go.

For Yin Tianci, who had just arrived in Tokyo, being on the list of the big tree of the Gao family gave him confidence.

He knew how powerful Tokyo was, and it wasn't their little Gaotang state that allowed him to do whatever he wanted, so he tucked his tail and behaved wisely.

However, he doesn't bully others, and he can't ask others to bully him either.

Now the Gao family is the most sought-after family in Tokyo. Without Yin Tianci's publicity, the news that he is related to the Gao family has spread throughout the Imperial College.

Sure enough, no one dared to bully him, and his life in the Imperial College went smoothly.

But because it was so smooth, it was very boring, and when it was boring, I wanted to think about something else, such as looking for a scent companion.

Soon, he really found one. This person was sitting in the corner of the school, often dozing off with his shoulders in his arms.

From Yin Tianci's perspective, he happened to see his beautiful browbones and high nose bridge with his head lowered.

Since then, he always looked at him subconsciously.

One day, this man also found out, but he couldn't help but lose his temper and winked and smiled at him with content in his eyes.

This is a play.

After resting, Yin Tianci went up to talk to him. Through the conversation, Yin Tianci knew that this person was Jiang Yan, a native of Tokyo.

After a lively chat, Jiang Yan smiled at him in a low voice and said, "I can tell that we are fellow travelers. Let's go to a secluded place. There are many people here."

Yin Tianci nodded happily, and followed Jiang Yan out of the Imperial College to a secluded alley.

Yin Tianci was overjoyed, "The place where I live is not far from here, let's go to my place."

Who knew that Jiang Yan smiled, "Okay, if you beat me, I'll go with you."

Yin Tianci was taken aback, "Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yan rushed towards him, grabbed his collar with one hand, and grabbed his belt with the other. With a force, he was grabbed from the ground and turned around a few times. Throw it out violently.

Yin Tianci fell to the ground hard, almost thinking that his bones were broken, and it took him a long time to get up, burning with anger, "Is there something wrong with you?!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan came over with a smile, "Why are you so angry, play two tricks with me."

Yin Tianci waved his hand at him, "No more, no more."

Jiang Yan didn't stop.

Yin Tianci felt that he was covered in Jiang Yan's shadow, and when he saw the dark smile on the other party's face, he exclaimed, "Don't come over—"

-

Jiang Yan walked quickly into the backyard refreshed.

It happened that the butler came out, "Hey, you are back, the master has been looking for you since just now, hurry over."

Jiang Yan replied calmly on his face, but a revulsion suddenly arose in his heart, and the joy just now was gone.

As soon as he appeared in the main room, he heard an elderly voice inside: "Is my Yan'er back?"

Jiang Yan walked up, "Master."

Zhu Chong said worriedly: "Really, the carriage that picked you up did not see the person who picked you up. Where did you play truant?"

"Just wandering around."

Zhu Chong patted the seat next to him, and Jiang Yan had to sit down.

Zhu Chong keenly noticed that there was a wound on his fist, so he held it up and blew it distressedly, "Where did you hit it?"

"Accidentally."

His current status, in a word, is Zhu Chong's male favourite, the father of Southeast King Zhu Xi.

When Zhu Laozi was young, he obtained a prescription by serving an old Taoist priest. Since then, he has made a fortune. Later, he bribed Cai Jing to let his son Zhu Wei get a good job in the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau.

But some things are for a lifetime. After Zhu Chong got married and had a child, he devoted himself to his hobbies.

There are countless male pets in Zhu Chong's mansion, but Jiang Yan is his favorite so far.

He gave him whatever he wanted, created a false identity for him, and sent him to the Imperial College to study.

In the Song Dynasty, it was impossible not to study. Reading is a necessary step to promotion and wealth.

Zhu Chong said distressedly: "Be careful, when you come out of the Imperial College, I will find you a job with my son, and you will have nothing to worry about in your life."

Jiang Yan just hummed.

The person he beat up today was Yin Tianci, the brother-in-law of Gao Qiu's younger brother, who belonged to the Gao family.

Isn't Gao Yanei very powerful and not easy to mess with, why don't you rush to trouble the Zhu family.

-

On this day of rest, Huarong bought tickets for the most popular drama in the teahouse and asked Gao Ming to watch it.

Before Gao Ming left, he had a bad feeling, the hottest one?

Is it...

After sitting down, Gao Ming couldn't help shouting inwardly as soon as the play started: Sure enough, he provided the outline and asked Xiao Rang to write this.

Because of Yang Jian's downfall, this drama took advantage of this shareholder trend and became a hit.

Gao Ming felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and left with Hua Rong on the pretext of being hungry before finishing the film.

They bought snacks as soon as they went out, and the two of them wandered aimlessly along the street while eating, and went in when they saw interesting shops.

Suddenly, Hua Rong let out a cry, pointed to the front and said, "Is that person Yin Tianci?"

Gao Ming followed his guidance and saw a man who looked like Yin Tianci was staggering into a carriage in front of a medical clinic, supported by a servant.

Why do you say exactly like?Because this person has a bruised nose and a swollen face, which is a bit different from his original appearance.

"is it him?"

Hua Rong came to a conclusion, "It's him, that's right."

Gao Ming stared at Yin Tianci, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Yes!"

"What's there?!"

"The theme of the new fan!" Gao Ming said, "Panda."

Hua Rong didn't know what a panda was, but Gao Ming always called it weird, so he didn't think much about it, "He was beaten?"

Gao Ming shrugged, "It seems so."

I don't know which enthusiastic Tokyo citizen called Yin Tianci to learn how to be a man.

At this moment, Yin Tianci also noticed Gao Ming, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly howled aggrievedly: "Yanei, you have to make the decision for me!"

Gao Ming said bluntly: "You treat us, we will listen to your complaints."

A quarter of an hour later, in the private room of the restaurant.

Gao Ming looked at Yin Tianci, whose face was covered with bruises and purple patches, "Didn't I tell you not to do evil?!"

"I'm wronged—it's not my fault at all—" Yin Tianci's lips clenched, and he spoke aloud, breathing in the pain.

He slowly told what happened.

Gao Ming listened calmly, "Oh."

Yin Tianci was in despair, he felt that the yamen was just here to eat and drink, and he didn't want to help at all, so tears flowed from his eyes that were swollen like walnuts.

He sniffed, "What should I do? Jiang Yan hit me in a playful tone for several days in a row."

The Yamen didn't help him, and he had no influence in Tokyo, and he didn't even have a friend willing to stand up for him, so Qing was waiting to be beaten.

Hua Rong asked, "How many people are there?"

"One will kill me, how many more?!"

"If it's just one, you just call back. If you hurt him, he won't dare next time."

Gao Ming didn't care much about Yin Tianci's life and death, so he said casually, "Don't make yourself so innocent, why did you tease me back then? I just don't have martial arts, otherwise I would beat you all over the place."

Of course, he didn't suffer a loss, and later found them all.

Hua Rong was taken aback, looked at Gao Ming in surprise, and then at Yin Tianci fiercely.

He understood why Gao Ming made such a fuss in Gaotang Prefecture.

He stared at Yin Tianci, "Are you Duanxiu?"

Yin Tianci didn't like Hua Rong's tone very much, "So what, it has nothing to do with you." Then he explained to Gao Ming with a bitter face, "It was all a misunderstanding, really. Besides, I have changed it now. This time, I really I didn't force him, I thought you wanted me to, but who knew he would come and beat me all of a sudden!"

Seeing that Gao Ming didn't want to talk to him at all, he was desperate, but he heard Hua Rong say: "Why don't I teach you, you learn a few tricks, and call back."

Yin Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and changed his attitude towards Huarong again, "Really? You are such a good master that you can't even find it with a lantern."

"Really." Huarong promised: "I will teach you until you win."

Yin Tianci hurriedly said happily: "Great, I remember you are a Wu Jinshi, and I will definitely learn from you. Jiang Yan's height and weight are about the same as mine, so I don't believe I can't beat him. Don't be too troublesome to teach half of it No more teaching."

"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you!" Hua Rong promised, "I must have more perseverance than you. Once I teach you, I have to watch you become an apprentice. You can't give up halfway."

Gao Ming tugged on Hua Rong's sleeve, "Come on, don't avenge yourself."

Yin Tianci suffered a lot by teaching fighting.

Hua Rong pretended to be confused, and asked with a low laugh, "What personal enmity?"

Gao Ming narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, thinking, ask the question knowingly!
