Chapter seven hundred and eighty the status of the emperor's heart
Taking a deep breath, Gao Qiu looked at Gao Qiang solemnly. To be honest, Gao Qiu admired Gao Qiang a little at this moment. Not to mention, Gao Qiu's unscrupulous and unscrupulous mentality to achieve his goals made Gao Qiu very happy.
satisfy.
If Gao Qiang is a submissive person, to be honest, Gao Qiu really doesn't like him. He has no children, and the reason why he wants to adopt someone from the clan as his adopted son is because he doesn't want to have a successor after working hard all his life.
unmanned.
But the person who can be your heir must not be a loser. Otherwise, no matter how big the family fortune is, it may not be able to support a prodigal son.
Although he didn't know Gao Qiang too well, judging from Gao Qiang's actions, at least Gao Qiu was quite satisfied.
The only thing Gao Qiu had to consider at this moment was whether to adopt Gao Qiang, who was of the same generation as him, as his adopted son. If the news spread back to the clan, what would the clan members think?
But soon Gao Qiu laughed, and he figured it out. Now that he was the commander in front of the palace, he didn't need to care about other people's eyes. As long as he was satisfied, it didn't matter even if he adopted Gao Qiang as his adopted son. Did he
Are you still worried about others gossiping behind your back?
After thinking about this, Gao Qiu's eyes fell on Gao Qiang, he took a step forward, looked at Gao Qiang condescendingly and said: "Gao Qiang, please think about it. Are you really willing to adopt my house and become mine from now on?"
Adopted son?"
Gao Qiang finally relaxed when he saw Gao Qiu, and felt very happy in his heart. His face was filled with joy and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am willing."
While speaking, Gao Qiang even kowtowed to Gao Qiu and said loudly: "Father, sir, please bow to me."
Gao Qiu stood there motionless and accepted Gao Qiang's obeisance, which could be regarded as the formal agreement between the two of them as father and son.
Looking at Gao Qiang with satisfaction, Gao Qiu stepped forward and helped Gao Qiang up. He looked at Gao Qiang and said, "Not bad, not bad. From now on, my son is the master of the Commander's Mansion."
Soon, all the servants in the huge commanding officer's mansion got the news that a person from his father's family had adopted him as his adopted son. From then on, Gao Qiang was the young master of this mansion. They
Everyone must obey Gao Qiang’s instructions.
Gao Qiang has not forgotten Lu Qian, whom he met along the way. The process of Gao Qiang becoming Gao Qiu's father was seen in Lu Qian's eyes, and Lu Qian couldn't help but show a bit of envy in his eyes.
It's a pity that his surname is Lu instead of Gao. Otherwise, Lu Qian might just like Gao Qiang take the initiative to come and recognize Gao Qiu as his father.
Gao Qiu's eyes fell on Lu Qian who was standing aside. Noticing Gao Qiu's gaze, Lu Qian quickly lowered his head humbly and said, "Lu Qian has met the commander-in-chief!"
At this moment, Gao Qiang saw this and took the initiative to speak to Gao Qiu: "Father, this is Lu Qian. The child was able to come to the capital smoothly because of Lu Qian's protection all the way. Otherwise, the child would not have been able to come so smoothly."
To the capital."
Hearing what Gao Qiang said, Gao Qiu's scrutinizing eyes gradually converged, he nodded slightly, and then said to Lu Qian: "Follow my son well, I don't mind giving you a future."
Suddenly Lu Qian was so excited that he lay down on the ground, raised his buttocks and saluted Gao Qiu, saying, "Thank you very much, Commander, thank you very much, Commander!"
A burst of noise suddenly came from outside. Gao Qiu, who had just adopted his adopted son and was in a good mood, couldn't help but frown when he heard the noise.
Gao Qiang observed his words, noticed the change in Gao Qiu's expression and immediately said: "Father, it's so lively outside, it seems that someone is welcoming the bride."
When Gao Qiang came, he bumped into Lin Chong's wedding team. When he heard the movement, he could guess after a little thought that this wedding team should be the same one he met before.
Gao Qiu took a deep breath, looked outside the courtyard door and said, "My son doesn't know that the people getting married today are not ordinary people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big movement. As a father, I will tell you who they are today."
You can provoke them, but you cannot provoke them, and you even have to stay away from them."
Gao Qiang opened his eyes and looked at Gao Qiu. With Gao Qiu's power in the capital, it can be said that there are few people whom Gao Qiu cannot afford to offend. Now that Gao Qiu is able to make even Gao Qiu feel wary, it is obvious that Gao Qiu is
In my heart, those people are entities that cannot be messed with.
Soon several names came from Gao Qiu's ears, including Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and Tong Guan. Finally, Gao Qiu said with a somewhat complicated expression: "There is another person, my son must not provoke him, otherwise
If so, even being a father may not be able to protect you."
Hearing what Gao Qiu said, Gao Qiang couldn't help but feel nervous. Even Gao Qiu warned him not to provoke him, which shows how dangerous that person is.
"Admiral Chu Yi of Dongchang, my son, please write down this name. If you meet this person, it is best to stay away."
Gao Qiang nodded and kept Chu Yi's name firmly in his heart.
However, Gao Qiang could hear that when Gao Qiu mentioned Chu Yi's name, there was a hint of hatred in his words. This surprised Gao Qiang. Could it be that Chu Yi was Gao Qiu's enemy?
?
"I wonder what the relationship between father and this person is?"
Gao Qiu glanced at Gao Qiang indifferently and said: "My father and this man are both the emperor's favorites, but they are incompatible with each other. If there is a chance, my father will definitely not mind crushing him to death."
As he spoke, Gao Qiu looked at Gao Qiang and said, "Does my son understand the relationship between me and Chu Yi?"
Gao Qiang nodded and said, "I understand, kid."
Gao Qiu would have wanted to kill him without even looking at him. If he didn't understand this, then Gao Qiang would be a fool.
Gao Qiu laughed heartily and said to Gao Qiang, "Let's go and follow my father to congratulate the couple."
The welcoming team finally welcomed the bride back from Zhang's house. Eight sedans carried the bride out of Zhang's house and finally arrived at Lin's house.
At this time, the Lin family had already set up a banquet and made all preparations, waiting for the bride and groom to worship heaven and earth.
Here Lin Chong and Zhang Zhenniang are giving a grand ceremony, and at the door of Lin's house, as Lin Chong's colleague and good brother, Xu Ning is standing at the door to greet the guests.
Of course it was already this time, and everyone who should have come to congratulate them had already arrived and were watching the newlyweds perform their grand ceremony in the courtyard.
Several figures gradually appeared in the distance, and it seemed that they were heading towards the Lin family. Xu Ning's eyes narrowed when he looked closely, and he shouted in a low voice: "Gao Qiu, it's actually Gao Qiu!"
It is well known to everyone that his admiral has a bad relationship with Gao Qiu, so when Xu Ning saw Gao Qiu coming, the first thing that came to his mind was what purpose did Gao Qiu have for coming here?
Maybe he ruined Lin Chong's wedding.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He immediately called someone and said, "Go quickly to Admiral Tong Bing and tell the commander Gao Qiu to come. Do you want to block him from the door?"
"
In the courtyard, Chu Yi was sitting there when he saw a fan walking up to Chu Yi and whispering a few words.
Chu Yi's expression was calm, and there was no change in his expression at all. Some people who noticed the action of flipping through the dictionary looked at Chu Yi with great curiosity.
Chu Yi nodded slightly at Na Fanzi, transmitted a few words, and after giving instructions, waved his hand for Na Fanzi to retreat.
At the door, Gao Qiu looked at Xu Ning who was staring at him nervously with interest. Gao Qiu was no stranger to Xu Ning either.
As one of the three sharpest blades under Chu Yi, Xu Ning's name is not much different from that of Lin Chong and Yang Zhi.
But Xu Ning was being stared at by Gao Qiu at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't turn his back, he just stood there with a cold face.
Xu Ning did not invite Gao Qiu and the others to go in, nor did he stop them. However, when Gao Qiu walked to the door, he took the initiative to stop and just looked at Xu Ning.
After staring at Xu Ning for a while, Gao Qiu suddenly said: "Is this how Chu Yi trains his subordinates? Didn't you see this commander standing here? As the saying goes, I am a guest from afar, and I am here to serve you.
Congratulations to the newcomer, do you think, Xu Ning, you still want to stop me?"
"So what if we stop the high-ranking envoy?"
Just when Xu Ning had a look of embarrassment on his face, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Xu Ning, and Xu Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming.
When he looked at the person coming, Gao Qiu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at Chu Yi with a smile but said, "Oh, could this be Admiral Chu's way of hospitality?
"
Chu Yi came closer now and looked at Gao Qiu with disdain: "If you are a kind guest, Chu Yi, on behalf of Lin Chong, will naturally welcome you very much. But what are your intentions in coming?
If the Admiral can't even see this, wouldn't it be a joke!"
Gao Qiu was not upset at being treated as a bad guest. To be honest, Chu Yi didn't think he was wronged when he said he was a bad guest.
Then Gao Qiu said to Gao Qiang beside him: "My son, I haven't given you the gift prepared for my father yet."
While speaking, Gao Qiang, who was standing next to Gao Qiu, stepped forward, holding a brocade box in his hand and said to Chu Yi: "Here's the gift!"
Chu Yi just glanced at the gift, and finally his eyes fell on Gao Qiang. After just one glance, Chu Yi said with a somewhat strange look: "Oh, could this be the person adopted by Gao Qiang?"
Is the adopted son here a good thing?"
Gao Qiu said: "Yes, it is Quanzi Gaoqiang. If there is any offense to the child in the future, please forgive me, Admiral."
Chu Yi smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. If that day comes, Chu will definitely not embarrass the yamen."
Gao Qiu's face darkened. Gao Qiu could still understand both good and bad words. Chu Yi's words were clearly aimed at him.
However, considering the close relationship between himself and Chu Yi, it would be strange if Chu Yi didn't take the opportunity to confront him.
Waving his sleeves, Gao Qiu said: "Let's go!"
Watching Gao Qiu and his entourage leave, Xu Ning whispered to Chu Yi: "Admiral, Gao Qiu and the others are not really here to send congratulatory gifts to Brother Lin, are they?"
As he spoke, Xu Ning lowered his head and glanced at the brocade box in his hand, as if he was curious about what exactly was in the brocade box that Gao Qiu could actually experience it in person.
Chu Yi said lightly: "Don't you think that Gao Qiu really came here to give Lin Chong a gift?"
Xu Ning shook his head subconsciously and said: "It is impossible to think that Gao Qiu will come to give Lin Chong a congratulatory gift. You must know that when Zhao Ji promoted Gao Qiu to become the commander in front of the palace, Chu Yi expressed opposition.
.It’s just that the emperor nodded at that time, and then he appointed Gao Qiu to be the commander in front of the palace.”
In other words, just a little short of that, Gao Qiu almost failed to become the commander-in-chief in front of the palace.
That is to say, from then on, Gao Qiu regarded Chu Yi as a thorn in his side, and slandered Chu Yi in the emperor's ears more than once or twice. Even the emperor knew that the relationship between the two was like fire and water.
It can only be said that the relationship between Gao Qiu and Chu Yi's family is not harmonious, and Zhao Ji is responsible for at least half of it. If Zhao Ji had not wanted to maintain the balance of power in the court, then Gao Qiu and Chu Yi would not have had a strong relationship.
Same as water and fire.
After all, Gao Qiu had grasped the emperor's thoughts, so he made it clear that the chariots and horses were constantly looking for trouble for Chu Yi, because Gao Qiu knew very well that this was exactly what the officials needed today.
If Chu Yi really united most of the officials, Zhao Ji would be more afraid. That is to say, Chu Yi took charge of Dongchang and offended the powerful people. It can be said that the high-ranking officials were not one or two families, but those high-ranking officials who had their families confiscated and exterminated.
But he gritted his teeth with hatred for Chu Yi, but he didn't think about it. If the emperor didn't mean it, even if Chu Yi was in charge of Dongchang, he couldn't make such a big noise. In the end, the emperor still needed Dongchang.
Do this.
Xu Ning watched Chu Yi walk into the courtyard and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Admiral, what should I do with this brocade box and the contents in it?"
Chu Yi said calmly: "Throw it away, it will save you the anger after reading it."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Xu Ning couldn't help but lowered his head and looked at the brocade box. He had an urge to open the brocade box. However, after taking a deep breath, Xu Ning suppressed his inner turmoil and conveniently opened the brocade box.
He threw the box to a fan beside him and said, "Go and throw this box into the river."
With Chu Yi in charge, or because of Chu Yi's reputation, or because no one was willing to come and make trouble when Lin Chong got married, Lin Chong's wedding finally went smoothly without any trouble.
That is, in the evening, just as Chu Yi was about to leave, he saw Yang Jian coming with a few Xiaohuangmen. He smiled at Chu Yi and said: "Admiral Chu, Mr. Lin, His Majesty's decree."
Lin Chong immediately stepped forward and bowed down with great respect. At this moment, Yang Jian read out the emperor's decree: "Heaven carries the emperor, and the edict says...Lin Chong is commendable for his loyalty and outstanding achievements. He is specially named Zhongxunlang and leads the East Factory."
The stall…”
After some polite words, Yang Jian handed the imperial edict to Lin Chong and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhongxun, you still haven't accepted the edict!"
Lin Chong came back to his senses, saluted Yang Jian immediately, and then respectfully received the imperial edict. At the same time, he bowed in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Chong, accept the edict."
Many guests learned that Lin Chong had been rewarded by the emperor, and they were all filled with envy. Who was Lin Chong? If we look at it a few years ago, they would have never heard of Lin Chong, but now
Lin Chong's name is heard by the heavens.
Of course, no one would really think that this was Lin Chong's fault. Everyone was looking at Chu Yi. If Chu Yi hadn't been there, how could the emperor have known Lin Chong's name?
On this great day, I specially gave you such an imperial edict.
Gao Qiu and his party, who were not far away from the Lin family, actually met up with Yang Jian. Yang Jian was considered to be on Chu Yi's side. It is conceivable that the relationship between Gao Qiu and Yang Jian would not be much better.
The two just looked at each other, and neither of them spoke to each other. However, Gao Qiu stopped after passing by Yang Jian, and then sent someone back to find out that Yang Jian came out of the palace and rushed to the Lin family.
What exactly happened.
After all, Yang Jian is a close servant of the emperor. Under normal circumstances, there is no chance to leave the palace. Once he leaves the palace, he usually carries the emperor's will. Gao Qiu, who is very clear about this, is naturally curious about Yang Jian's departure from the palace.
Did it really carry the emperor's will?
Soon the men sent by Gao Qiu hurried over and vividly told Gao Qiu how Yang Jian read out the edict. Although he had expected it, he really learned that the emperor actually wanted to do it because of Chu Yi.
Gao Qiu was still very unhappy about the rewards given to Lin Chong, because this just showed how important Chu Yi's status was in the eyes of the emperor.
