It was around eight o'clock in the evening that Gao Shaoyi arrived at Prince Kang's Mansion.
Of course Gao Shaoyi went to the front hall, so naturally he didn't know that there was a fight in the back hall just now.
Regarding the situation in Prince Kang's Mansion, Gao Shaoyi also had a thorough understanding of the situation. Since the imperial edict has been issued, it means that this marriage cannot be postponed.
If we can't push him away, we have to make some calculations. Our cheap father-in-law is a loyal person, but Prince Kang doesn't like him. If this is the case, then it is imperative to divide Prince Kang's palace.
"Greetings to the prince, prince."
Although there were many people in the room, except for Prince Kang and the eldest son of Prince Kang's palace, the other people's titles were not as high as his own, so Gao Shaoyi ignored them.
What's more, one of these two is the daughter-in-law's grandfather and the other is the daughter-in-law's biological father, so it is normal for them to kowtow.
As for other people, I'm sorry, we don't have the addiction to kowtow.
"You are such a commander-in-chief of the suppression army, but now you don't even know anyone after returning to Beijing. Do you only have eyes for your eldest brother and father? Aren't the other people in this room your elders?"
Prince Kang's youngest son Rongshou is supposed to be an elder. At this time, Gao Shaoyi should call his wife "Second Uncle", but he was ignored immediately, so this guy jumped out immediately.
Originally, when Prince Kang chose this grandson-in-law, this guy was very happy. The eldest brother only had two children. As long as these two in-laws were useless, wouldn't Prince Kang's mansion belong to him in the future?
Now it's better. Gao Shaoyi suddenly emerged as an army. The strength of the suppressing army is unparalleled in the world. This is the biggest variable. If this boy helps his elder brother, it is still unknown who will own Prince Kang's Mansion in the future.
"I haven't taken off my official uniform. According to the court regulations, I don't think I can worship you."
Gao Shaoyi stood up without waiting for Prince Kang to say anything.
But what he said is also true. Prince Kang is a person with a title, and Prince Kang's eldest son also has a title. As for Prince Kang's other sons, they must find an opportunity to apply for the title.
According to the rules of the court, if the eldest son of Prince Kang inherits the royal title, the other sons' titles will not be very high. Even if the current son is the legitimate second son, he will be a third-class earl at most, and cannot be higher than Gao Shaoyi's title.
What's more, the imperial court has not yet canonized him. To put it bluntly, he is an idle clan member, and his salary is paid according to the treatment of a fifth-grade official.
Gao Shaoyi's words were impeccable. Even if Rong Shou was dissatisfied, he couldn't find any fault.
"We're all a family, so don't use these false etiquettes. Sit down."
Prince Kang didn't want to continue seeing his youngest son embarrassed, so he pointed at the seat at the bottom.
Gao Shaoyi has the lowest seniority here, so he can only sit in that place. However, Prince Kang's Palace is still a little neglectful. After all, Gao Shaoyi still has the official position of Governor of Zhili. If the Governor of Zhili is replaced by someone else, I'm afraid Kang
The prince did not dare to let anyone sit at the bottom.
The emphasis in Prince Kang's Mansion is to be silent during sleep and eating, so basically no one spoke during the meal. Only some juniors secretly looked at Gao Shaoyi. These days, they also heard outside that Gao Shaoyi's anti-rogue army was
The entire Daqian Dynasty was fighting for face. Many foreigners were already frightened when they heard the words "Suppress the Lu Army".
Gao Shaoyi had already eaten, so he simply ate something and then waited for these people silently.
When Prince Kang put down his chopsticks, everyone else quickly wiped their mouths regardless of whether they had finished eating or not. This family is relatively well-behaved.
"Come to the study with me."
Prince Kang left a few words and then left first.
"Sister-in-law, please, please, I will take you there."
The second housekeeper came over quickly.
After leaving the door, Gao Shaoyi took out a fifty-dollar silver note and placed it in the second housekeeper's hand.
"Thank you, uncle, for the reward..."
After all, he is a local tycoon, so he is generous in his dealings. Many dignitaries have come to Prince Kang's palace in the past, but those people can give him twenty silver coins, which is more than he can count all year round.
When Gao Shaoyi came to the study, Prince Kang had already sat down and was drinking tea. Except for his two sons, there was no one else in the room.
"How are the preparations at the Marquis Mansion? There are only a few days until the day."
Prince Kang said while drinking water. Although he didn't say what it was about, he knew it must be about the marriage of the two.
"Everything is ready to go back to the prince. We are just waiting for the wedding day."
Gao Shaoyi said respectfully. The two of them answered questions and seemed relatively friendly. Different from the rumors outside, it had been spread in the court that Gao Shaoyi's anti-rogue army and Prince Kang's palace were in the same situation. The two of them probably met.
They will be scolded in front of them. If they see all this today, I'm afraid they will be disappointed.
"Did your people arrest Fan Zhen?"
After asking these things, Gao Shaoyi knew that the real food was about to come. Just as he expected, Prince Kang began to settle accounts.
Fan Zhen was the governor of the Liao Dynasty on one side of the separatist regime, but he was also a student of Prince Kang. He was able to fight against the imperial court in recent years. Prince Kang also made a lot of efforts, but mainly there was no evidence, so the imperial court did not
Method.
But one thing is certain, Fan Zhen sends 300,000 silver coins to Prince Kang's Mansion every year, and Zhou Zhipeng has already asked Zhou Zhipeng to send the account books to Gao Shaoyi.
If Gao Shaoyi handed this over to the court, Prince Kang's palace might have to go around in trouble. Prince Kang asked this question because he might want to see if Gao Shaoyi knew anything...
"Fan Zhen violated the rules in the military camp. Zhou Zhipeng punished him in accordance with the court regulations and reported the matter to the Prime Minister's Affairs Office and the Military Aircraft Department."
Gao Shaoyi's meaning is also very clear. You already know about this matter, so why are you still talking nonsense? Aren't you the Minister of Affairs of the Prime Minister's Yamen? Aren't you the Minister of Military and Aircraft?
"It's just nonsense. Fan Zhen is a high-ranking member of the imperial court. Without the imperial court's will, you actually allowed your officers and soldiers to arrest him. Do you still have laws in your eyes?"
Prince Kang slapped the table and wanted to kill Gao Shaoyi's arrogance, but Gao Shaoyi's face was not tense at all. He could see that Prince Kang was just a strong man on the outside, and the trace of fear in his eyes had long been
Gao Shaoyi was captured.
Do you want to play such a little trick with us?
Let’s take a break!
"I got an account book from Daliao..."
After saying these words, Gao Shaoyi clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room was getting tense...??
