Because when Gao Congjie died, Gao Baoxu had not yet reached the throne, so it can be said that he had no say in political affairs.
However, as the political situation stabilized and Gao Baorong had no war due to the harvest, Gao Baorong and his brothers still received a good education and opportunities to grow.
Nowadays, among the brothers of the Gao family, the outstanding ones are Gao Baoxu, Gao Baoxu and Gao Baoyin. However, Gao Baoxu was different from the other two brothers. Gao Baoxu fully assisted his brother Gao Baorong in maintaining his foundation, while Gao Baoyin was in charge of Jingnan's military.
Although Gao Baoxu also held a casual position in Jingnan and even knew a little about everything, he was not conspicuous to outsiders. Because Gao Baoxu himself also knew that there was an elder brother who inherited the throne and an outstanding younger brother below. If he came out to show off, not only would he not be of much help, but it would intensify the suspicion between the brothers.
Just like the brothers of his father Gao Congjie, they knew clearly that their nephew Gao Baorong was not capable enough, but because there was at least someone in the family who could govern, they all followed the family's choice. As a result, in the final four generations of descendants of the Gao family, there was no incident of descendants from other countries fighting for power and destroying the country.
At this time, the reason why Gao Baoxu came to Tongqing Tower was because the marriage envoys from the Central Plains had come to the city to borrow a passage. Although hundreds of the nearly a thousand people accompanying them were dowry, there were always hundreds of elite troops who came to protect the marriage team.
It is said that of this team of more than 500 people, 300 soldiers came from the crown prince capital of Wei King Fu Yanqing. The remaining two hundred people were guards sent by the court and the emperor. In addition to the nearly one hundred female soldiers of Princess Luquan, the entire team actually had nearly six hundred combatable soldiers.
From the perspective of Jingnan, whose military strength was not strong, this was indeed a large team that could not be ignored. Although there are many waterways in Jingnan, such a tiger and wolf army will indeed be a headache if it enters Jiangling Mansion.
Therefore, when the marriage team used the road, Jingnan did not stop the arrival of the team, but politely invited the leading generals and officials, as well as the marriage princess, into the city. That seemingly huge team had them all stationed outside the city.
In order to avoid arousing the resentment of the marriage team, Jingnan even sent a special person to receive him and go there to appease him with good wine and food. This incident has now caused a sensation in Jiangling Mansion. They have not seen such a grand event in many years, so the common people came to watch the fun.
Although Gao Baoxu did not have any assigned tasks, he had a thought and called Wei Qi to come to Tongqing Building.
Because he was born with some sensitivity, he always felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, passing through Jingnan is Chu Land, and only by crossing the border from Chu Land can we enter Lingnan. Nowadays, the Chu land is under the control of Zhou Xingfeng, and the relationship with Jingnan is not necessarily very good. It is said that the relationship with Lingnan is not very good either.
If something happens to the marriage team in Jingnan, it will be obvious that the Central Plains will cause trouble for Jingnan, and without hesitation, Jingnan's end will come. If they enter Chu Di, Jing Nan doesn't have to worry anymore. After all, Chu Di and Jing Nan have no direct relationship.
Although Chu Di also accepted the imperial title from the Central Plains, I am afraid Chu Di would not be so comfortable with the marriage between the Central Plains and Lingnan. Because it is said that the Chu land was not peaceful during this period, and the source came from Lingnan. Although this is just a guess, there are so many people traveling from south to north in Jingnan, so the rumors are most likely untrue!
"Wei Qi, why hasn't that friend you mentioned arrived yet?" Gao Baoxu suddenly remembered something and looked at Wei Qi in surprise.
"It should be about Master Six. This man was originally a wealthy businessman of the Jiangling generation. He is the most punctual and trustworthy person!" Wei Qi said solemnly.
While the two were talking, they heard someone coming in from outside, and the servants who were serving were asking questions. Wei Qi hurried out and soon led an imposing young man in.
Gao Baoxu didn't put on any airs. In addition, there were usually a lot of people coming and going from Jingnan, so he was used to the scenes in the arena. So I felt a little happy when I saw that although this young man was pampered and well-off, he still showed a bit of casualness in the world.
This young man's name is Lei Zhenzi, and he is from Songzi! The family has always been in the business of river fresh fish products. Of course, due to the accumulation of several generations, the family is now a big business. Later, when Lei Zhenzi's father came, he saw that tea was very profitable, and now he is the largest tea merchant near Songzi. Because they have been dealing with government vassals all year round, the family has many connections!
Perhaps because he felt that Gao Baoxu was not a person who put on airs and was somewhat close to and accepting of him, Lei Zhenzi was also very to the point and became close to him. Under Wei Qi's introduction, he met Gao Baoxu again.
By the time more food and wine were served, everyone was already a bit full. Because of Wei Qi, Gao Baoxu and Lei Zhenzi did not face any obstacles. Coupled with Gao Baoxu's easy-going temperament, everyone naturally started talking more.
Because we heard that Lei Zhenzi traveled all over the country and even visited Prince Xing's Mansion in Lingnan in the south. Although I have heard about that place filled with wild miasma countless times. But just thinking about the place full of miasma, Gao Baoxu naturally became very curious.
Because this Chu land is now empty of ten houses, and it is extremely difficult to cross from Langzhou and Tanzhou to Hengzhou and Chenzhou, let alone cross the Wuling Mountains to reach Prince Xing's Mansion. This time the Central Plains and Lingnan are getting married. This is what Gao Baoxu is curious about. You must know that Chuxi, which is close to Jingnan, has been a wild and miasmatic place since ancient times, and few people usually go there.
What's more, going there is even more distant, and even just hearing about the South of the Five Ridges in books, Gao Baoxu naturally couldn't help but ask a few more questions, hoping to get some real Lingnan situations.
Unexpectedly, Lei Zhenzi fell silent when he heard Gao Baoxu say this. Looking at Gao Baoxu and Wei Qi, he hesitated a little.
Gao Baoxu was certainly surprised, and Wei Qi was naturally even more curious. Seeing that Lei Zhenzi didn't speak immediately, Wei Qi might be familiar with him, so he felt a little unhappy: "Brother is so upset, is there anything unspeakable about this matter?"
"No, no! Brother, please don't worry!" Lei Zhenzi picked up the wine on the table and drank it all, but hurriedly answered. But he seemed to glance at Gao Baoxu unintentionally, and then continued: "If you don't tell me, brother, I'm afraid it will affect Master Liu's mood!"
"Oh! This has made someone curious! Could it be that there are really so many unbearable things in that barbaric and miasmatic place?" Gao Baoxu naturally became even more curious, especially when he saw Lei Zhenzi's expression He looked even more curious in his heart: "I have a good appetite, brother, I just say it's okay!"
