There was no words for the whole night. Although the banquet in the Forbidden Palace broke up unhappy last night, Duke Wu beat the purple-robed father-in-law who was serving the Queen Mother and left the party in anger, but there was no accident.
The empresses, including the Queen Mother, Concubine Wei, etc., made no noise and did not blame Duke Wu for not attending the appointment. However, the patron king Yang Lin did not say anything. It seemed that overnight, the entire Western Capital had forgotten about the banquet in the Forbidden Palace.
Things.
In the early morning, when Wu Xin was training his army with Xin Wuwei, an attendant came to report that the demoted Gao Shilian family and the eldest grandson Wugou's family had come to visit!
Wu Xin was overjoyed and asked Wu Long to train his army on his behalf, and he couldn't wait to go to the front office.
The Gao family and the Changsun family are full of heroes, and they are geniuses, and there are two high-ranking geniuses in Lingyan Pavilion.
If the Gao family and the Changsun family can be retained, great things can be expected, and at least Wu Xin's talent base will be greatly enriched.
The reception hall of the front house.
Headed by the gray-haired Gao Mu, sitting on the right is the chief. Gao Shilian's wife, Xian Yushi, stands behind Gao Mu.
Gao Shilian, who wears a scholar's hat and robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a frank and simple appearance, is next. Two handsome young men stand behind Gao Shilian without taking a seat. They are Gao Shilian's eldest son, Gao Xingxing, and his second son, Gao Qixing.
Wearing palace attire, the elegant and elegant Gao family sat under Gao Shilian.
A young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome appearance and dignified appearance, who made people instantly like him and was quite friendly, stood behind the Gao family. He was the elder brother of Changsun Wuji... Changsun Wuji!
There is also an old man, an old woman, two women dressed as maids, and four middle-aged guards, who are the retainers of the Gao family.
Gao Shilian was the grandson of Gao Yue, the former King of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Gao Mai, the governor of Taozhou in the Sui Dynasty. He himself once held the rank of Great Emperor Zhili Lang of the Sui Dynasty. The Gao family was also a noble family and could be considered a famous family, so naturally he had loyal retainers accompanying him.
At this time, Changsun Wujia had already heard the news and was communicating excitedly with everyone. Even Wei Gui also came after hearing the news. All kinds of greetings and courtesy were done, which made everyone in the Gao family and Changsun family feel flattered and had a good impression.
increase.
Wu Xin came quickly with a group of more than ten people, including Hong Bo, Wen Renzhong, Du Heng, Di Shi, Mingji Husband, etc.
As soon as he appeared at the door, Gao Mu, Gao Shilian, Gao Shi, etc. all stood up and wanted to be greeted...
"My in-laws are here, but I couldn't greet them in time. I'm extremely ashamed!"
Without waiting for them to be polite, Wu Xin took the lead and bowed down to apologize. Gao Shilian and others were startled, but Wu Xin showed great respect and said:
"Xin'er has met Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Changsun, Husband Gao, Mrs. Gao..."
Everyone greeted them respectfully, as if they were visiting a son-in-law. Wu Xin was not bothered and was quite patient. However, Wu Xin was not shameless enough to call his grandmother, mother-in-law, uncle, etc. directly.
Who is Wu Xin?
Duke Wu of the Great Sui Dynasty is now so famous that he is as powerful as the Heavenly King of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is said that he is about to be crowned a hero of the Great Sui Dynasty with a different surname.
According to the official etiquette rules, Wu Xin's title and official position were much higher than theirs, so it should be their first greeting. However, Wu Xin obviously did not treat him as Duke Wu, General Wu Wei, etc.
Gao Shilian and others did not interrupt Wu Xin's greeting politely, but they were obviously flattered. They all accepted only half a courtesy and returned the courtesy solemnly.
From this, it can also be seen that Changsun Wugu's status in Wu Xin made Gao Shilian and others feel relieved. Brothers Gao Jixiong, Gao Qixing, and the Gao family's retainers were overjoyed. They can be regarded as holding him in their arms. The recent
Life was so sad that even Gao Mansion was sold.
After some etiquette, before Wu Xin could take his seat, he ordered his guards to arrange a banquet, which was so enthusiastic that Gao Shilian and others felt uncomfortable.
"Xin'er has heard about the matter of Husband Gao, but he just came to Xidu for the first time, so he doesn't know the details clearly. However, this is obviously a misunderstanding. Husband Gao is just implicated. The younger generation will report to the court, so Husband Gao should not take up his post for the time being!
"
After some pleasantries, Wu Xin took the lead and said to Gao Shilian.
Although Wu Xin was most interested in Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji had no fame, no name, and was a junior present. Wu Xin didn't know what to say to strike up a conversation, and it wasn't appropriate.
As soon as Wu Xin finished speaking, the Xianyu family, Changsun family and others were overjoyed, especially brother Gao Xingyi and other retainers.
Gao Shilian's face turned serious, he waved his hands in a serious and determined manner and said:
"You must not do it, Duke Wu! Hu Sizheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, colluded with the rebels and had evil intentions, but he did have an old relationship with his subordinates. This was due to careless friendship and unclear understanding of people. He should be demoted. It is a national law. How can it be changed lightly?
I have no complaints as a low-ranking official, and I am satisfied that I can still be in charge of politics, which shows that the court treats me well!"
"Well……"
Most of the people present were stunned and a little speechless.
Although Gao Shilian considers himself a junior official and is not an elder, his expression and words are a bit solemn and solemn, and they are quite meant to teach. No matter how you listen to them, they don't sound right!
Wu Xin didn't care. He sincerely admired and asked: "Husband Gao is generous and sensible, and Xin'er admires him! In that case, how about transferring to Jurong County?"
Gao Shilian was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, had extraordinary abilities, was wise and open-minded, had the courage to give direct advice, and obeyed the law. He was an excellent upright official and a good official. He was well-known in ancient and modern times. Wu Xin knew it very well, so he naturally wouldn't mind.
"call……"
Gao Xingxing, Gao's retainers and others who were nervous and anxious secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also a good compromise, and it is good for everyone. Wu Guogong does not need to sell favors, and they can also get Wu Guogong's public relations photos.
Just look at Duke Wu’s attitude towards them. When they get to Duke Wu’s territory, he will naturally not treat them badly!
Gao Shilian's face darkened, he was quite displeased and said in a low voice with a hint of disappointment: "How can an order from the imperial court be trivial?! Let alone make your own choice!"
"..."
Wu Xin opened his mouth and was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Gao Shilian was not a rigid person, nor was he die-hardly loyal to the Sui Dynasty. He was just upright, upright, and very principled.
Wu Xin couldn't say clearly that he really wanted to recruit him, not because of his in-law relationship!
"Father?!"
The Gao family's retainers hesitated to speak and sighed, but the second son Gao Qixing couldn't help shouting anxiously.
Even if he doesn't accept Duke Wu's favor, given his status and prestige, his father has repeatedly rejected and reprimanded him. What if he makes Duke Wu angry?
"Are you at odds with the geniuses? In the past, it had nothing to do with the geniuses you recruited. I was unknown, so it was normal that I couldn't recruit them. Now, my reputation is spread all over the world, and I am powerful in all directions. I have become a very popular minister. With the relationship between marriage, I am actually
Still can’t recruit?”
Wu Xin muttered to himself in confusion, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he simply looked at Changsun Wuji. Gao Jingcheng and others directly demanded:
"Husband Gao is strict with himself, upright and upright, and I won't force you to do anything. However, you can work under my account!"
Brother Gao Xingcheng perked up, but Changsun Wuji frowned, obviously unwilling. However, Wu Xin quickly answered:
"Wugou, now she is my official wife. She is just engaged, so it can be considered as a matchmaking marriage. However, my position is high and the power involved is complex, so I am afraid it will be difficult to be my official wife. Now there is no one close to Wujia to rely on. Although
If everyone in the house doesn't bully Wu Gu, life will not be easy after all. It's all about doing things, and where are you not doing them? If you are afraid of gossip, just do things well and do official business!" (To be continued.)
