Chapter seven hundred and seventy-first in-laws

Gao Gong had this idea a year ago.

The reason is also very simple. Qian Yuan is too hard-working. He is as deep as an abyss, has a variety of methods, connects people from all directions, and has the ability to accumulate wealth. Gao Gong feels that he really can't control it.

Gao Gong was wise and keenly aware that under Qian Yuan's face, which was gentle, sarcastic, or decisive, he had a rebellious heart, which was a person he could not conquer.

In name, three years ago, Suiyuan was vaguely regarded as the Yu King faction, but Gao Gong, the leader of this faction, was unable to be as pointed as his arm. If you want to do anything through Suiyuan, you must get Qian Yuan's nod.

So, last year, Qian Yuan was attacked by a group of censors of Kedao, and Gao Gong wanted to kick Qian Yuan away and took Sui Yuan into his arms.

The hall was silent for a moment. Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan looked at Gao Gong provocatively. Qian Yuan turned around indifferently. Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Lin Xuan lowered his head and pretended to be stupid. Sun Yan smiled and didn't care. Everyone was not stupid... Last year, Gao Gong expressed his intention to recruit him, which was Xu Wei and Sun Yan who led him back.

Of course, there are also some who don’t understand half of them, such as Tao Dalin, who has been burying his head in writing, and Zhu Dashou who has been Ding You for three years.

There were even some people who couldn't understand how they suddenly became quiet... King Yu.

Pan Sheng broke the silence and smiled and said, "Speaking of it, there have been many happy events recently."

Hu Zhengmeng interjected: "Yes, in addition to Lin Zhenyao, there is also Xian Bomao."

Xian Yan is about to get married, and his wife is Pan Sheng's niece.

Qian Yuan added: "Not only that, there is also the fourth brother Sun Wenrong in the article, who has been engaged to Lu Wenfu's four daughters in the past two days."

Gao Gong was shocked and turned to look at Sun Yan. This was bad news for him... Sun Yan's father, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, Sun Sheng, was Gao Gong's biggest opponent in competing with the Minister of Rites.

Although Gao Gong also took the route of Prime Minister, on the one hand, he took another path to King Yu, and on the other hand, because of Yan Song and Xu Jie's political struggle, he never worked in the Zhan Shi Mansion.

From this perspective, Sun Sheng's route to the prime minister was the most orthodox, including Hanlin, Zhanshifu, Imperial College Priest, Right Assistant Minister of Rites, Right Assistant Minister of Personnel, Left Assistant Minister of Rites, and promoted to the Minister of Rites of Nanjing. Next, he could return to Beijing to serve as Minister of Rites, become a Hanlin Bachelor, be in charge of Hanlin Academy, and then enter the cabinet.

Sun Yan smiled, "But the closest one is the Gao family's daughter, congratulations to Mr. Zhongxuan."

Gao Gong forced a smile, "The humble house is simple, but I would like to ask you to drink a few glasses of water and wine."

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "At that time, all the food and food in Qian's restaurant will be included. Uncle Shi, please don't be polite."

Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei sighed inwardly. This guy is so thick-skinned that he didn't hesitate at all. His expression was natural and his face was not red.

Prince Yu finally heard a little... But unfortunately, the prince and his father's personality are too different. Not only does he not add fuel to the fire, but he wants to smooth things over and quickly unfold the topic.

Although Sun Jian is from Shaoxing, he has long been born in Beijing and even passed the scientific examination in Shuntian Prefecture. He is very familiar with the connections and in-laws in the middle of Beijing, and has long been inquiring about Gao Gong's in-laws.

Speaking of which, Gao Gong is also extraordinary. Over the years, he has been able to win over many people with his in-laws relationship.

Gao Gong's brother-in-law Liu Xun was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing and served as the prefect of Dezhou. His grandfather Liu Jing was a Jinshi during the Chenghua period. During the Zhengde period, he served as the Minister of Justice. His father, Liu Xu, was a Jinshi during the Zhengde period. He also retired as the Minister of Justice in the 28th year of Jiajing.

Gao Gong's nephew Zhang Mengnan, Lin Feng and Lu Shude were both Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing and served as the regent of Guangping Prefecture.

Gao Gong's eldest son-in-law Meng Zhaomei, whose father Meng Huai was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing. He served as the governor of Shanxi and was extremely famous.

Meng Huai's third daughter married Gao Gong's nephew Gao Wuben, while Meng Huai's younger brother Meng Zhu's eldest son married Gao Cai, the second daughter of Gao Gong's fifth brother.

Meng Zhu and Qian Yuan and Xu Wei were both Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing and are now the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War.

Gao Gong's second son-in-law Guo Ning, his father Guo Zhong, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He is now a member of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.

Gao Gong's third son-in-law Cao Fan, his father Cao Jin, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. He has now returned home.

Gao Gong's fifth brother Gao Cai's relative, Ma Ying Gu, was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He was a classmate of Gao Gong and is now the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture.

The famous Li family in Junzhou is also Gao Gong's in-laws. Li Chengyun, Li Dengyun and Li Lingyun were the 11th, 14th and 17th year respectively. The four younger brothers were all famous and were known as the seven sons of the Li family.

Although Li Chengyun had retired, Li Dengyun was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Works, and Li Lingyun was appointed as the right assistant to Shanxi.

Gao Gong's third brother was also the relative of his fellow villager Wang Bangrui. He was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Zhengde and had a very old experience. After the "Gengxu Incident" in the 29th year of Jiajing, Ding Rukui, the Minister of War, was imprisoned and died. Wang Bangrui was promoted to the Minister of War, and was later dismissed from office because of his hatred and flattery.

A few days ago, Qian Yuan took a deep breath when he heard Sun Jian’s detailed narration. Although most of them were either slightly lower in official positions or had retired and returned home, it was really a big net.

In fact, Gao Gong was also helpless because he was in Prince Yu's mansion, and he did not dare or could not make friends with foreign ministers without authorization, and the capital officials were not very trustworthy. He was afraid that others would steal his treasure, so he could only win over people with his in-laws.

This is also a major reason why Gao Gong was dying about Suiyuan... There are many knowledgeable people in the court, but Suiyuan has strong cohesion, talent, ability, people-friendly, and excellent in all aspects, and there are too few political groups that are not old... It can even be said that this one has no branches.

Afternoon, we met all afternoon. At dusk, everyone stood up to say goodbye. King Yu hesitated to look at Gao Gong, "Master Gao and Zhan will stay for dinner."

Zhang Juzheng sighed inwardly. It was a shortcut for him to choose to rely on Gao Gong in Prince Yu’s mansion, but at the same time, he had basically no hope of sitting on the same side as Gao Gong... Qian Yuan never shrank, and although he was afraid of Gao Gong, he could get so much attention from Prince Yu.

Zhu Dashou, Tao Dalin, Sun Jian, and Pan Sheng looked at Qian Yuan's face and bowed and retreated. Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan smiled... If Your Highness wants to be a peacemaker, it is probably not easy.

But the next moment, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan's smile disappeared, and they gritted their teeth and became angry.

"Uncle, please stay with Ziwei."

Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei were speechless. Seeing King Yu nodding slightly, they bowed and said that Yin Shidan bowed hard and then threw his sleeves away.

Hu Zheng, who was walking out of the corner of his eyes, glanced at Lin Xuan, who entered Prince Yu's mansion with Zhang Xiao and the latter looked calm and didn't seem to mind at all.

Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan guessed correctly. King Yu really wanted to be a peacemaker. Although he was dissatisfied with Gao Gong's actions in the mansion, he also followed Huang Jin's instructions and was quite enthusiastic about Qian Yuan to use this to check and balance.

But deep down, King Yu hopes that the generals and ministers will be together... Master Gao accompanied him through those difficult years, and now that the clouds are about to disappear, how can he be harsh?

Qian Zhan was allowed to enter and exit the Yu Prince's Mansion three years ago, and brought him a large number of useful officials sent to Suiyuan in the future, and brought him wealth. He even made a lot of words and said it frequently, cursing his nephew to death and bringing him the eldest son.

King Yu even privately felt that Master Gao was too unwise, and that as long as he said something casually, he would achieve his wishes... Let's see which one has a good ending with Zhan Cai over the years?

"The chefs in the mansion are not good at craftsmanship, so they won't be ugly." King Yu, who was sitting in the head, smiled and said, "They were all brought from your restaurant just now."

"Your Highness or entrust the account?" Qian Yuan picked up the chopsticks of potato shreds and laughed: "Not as good as Ning Shaotai, this dish is expensive in Beijing."

"It's too expensive!" King Yu laughed and scolded: "I earned bad money."
