"Liang Zan, the Young Master of Honglu, invites Mr. Gao Yanhui, the deputy envoy of the Zhou Kingdom to Lingnan, to come and pay a visit to the Sixth Master!"
The voice that sounded outside was Liang Zan, whom Gao Baoxu was familiar with. Because although the Gao family was the local emperor in Jingnan, they never really called themselves emperor, and even the titles of people like Gao Baoxu were not like other vassal towns. .
So just like the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was surrendered to the vassal state, everyone in the vassal town knew who the emperor was. But as long as there are outsiders present, they will usually just call the speaker the lord of the country!
Jingnan has never been called the emperor since the founding of Gao Jixing, and the highest he could be was the King of Nanping. Therefore, courtiers are usually called the king or the king. As for the king's disciples like Gao Baoxu, those who have positions are usually called positions, and those who have titles are called titles! As for those who have neither positions nor titles, it may be more dignified to be called "Hangjun".
On the contrary, although Gao Baoxu has a casual position in Jingnan, he always likes to be called the one who ranks among his brothers. Firstly, he is not very old, but he has already reached his age, so Lang Jun or Liu Ye sounds friendly; secondly, it is also because he has always been a bit close to the people, and in order to maintain rapport with everyone, he does not like those polite words. !
The man who heard the news from outside turned out to be the grandson of Liang Zhen, an important minister of the Gao family in Jingnan. Because Liang Zhen is known as the number one think tank in Jingnan, and was once the most trusted minister around Gao Jixing and Gao Congjie, the rulers of Jingnan, so Liang Zhen's reputation in Jingnan can be said to be far better than that of many descendants of the Gao family.
Although Liang Zhen has long since retired, both Gao Congjie and Gao Baorong regarded the descendants of the Liang family as distinguished guests in the court because of Liang Zhen. Therefore, as long as the descendants of the Liang family are mature and capable, it can be said that they all have certain positions in Jingnan!
It just so happened that Liang Zan was a well-rounded person and very good at communication, so he was appointed by Gao Baorong as an official of Honglu Temple. Although he is only a young minister, it just relieves his pressure and allows him to use his communication expertise.
In addition, he was usually friendly with Gao Baoxu in private, and he was usually someone who talked about everything, so it was not surprising that he came to Tongqing Building to find someone at this moment. Hearing Liang Zan's voice, Gao Baoxu's expression softened a little.
However, this was the first time Gao Baoxu heard about the marriage deputy envoy Gao Yanhui. Although as a vassal of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Gao Baoxu was the master of Jingnan, so Jingnan had a relatively good understanding of the state of Zhou's court. After all, if the head of the vassal country doesn't even know the main officials of the Celestial Dynasty, it must be a joke!
But this was the first time that Gao Baoxu heard the name Gao Yanhui, the deputy envoy for sending relatives. Although it is said that he is a family member, and the deputy envoy must have been personally appointed by Emperor Guo Rong, there was indeed no such person in the court before, but I don't know where this Gao Yanhui came from?
So when the waiter from Tongqing Building led two people in, Gao Baoxu stood up first to greet them.
Next to Liang Zan was a man in his thirties. Although he looked a little lean, he seemed to have bright eyes. He and Liang Zan stood side by side, leaning back slightly. When Liang Zan introduced him, he immediately stepped forward and greeted Gao Baoxu politely.
Gao Baoxu was very surprised, because this kind of envoy to send and reconcile marriage may not sound important, but it is actually very important. Because this not only represents the face of the imperial court, but also must be an important official in Honglu Temple's communication in this regard.
Although he is a son of the prince of Jingnan, he actually has no face in front of the imperial envoys and officials. They came to find him. This Gao Yanhui must know his identity. Now that he was being treated so politely, Gao Baoxu couldn't help but think a little more in his heart.
"I wonder why Brother Xian and Master Gao came here? If someone's guess is right, Honglu Temple should be entertaining the delegation!" After everyone sat down again and the waiter brought the dishes again, Gao Baoxu He couldn't help but hold his hands in front of him as a courtesy and spoke politely to Liang Zan.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zan didn't speak first, but glanced at Gao Yanhui. Gao Yanhui also had a calm expression, but when he saw Liang Zan looking at him, he nodded slightly, and then he cupped his hands towards Gao Baoxu and said: "I came here to look for Mr. Lang this time for a private matter, but mainly for business. beg!"
Gao Baoxu was stunned for a moment, because although Gao Yanhui's name was not obvious, he was from the Central Plains court after all. Jing Nan just doesn't give face, at least he won't dare to disobey what's on the surface. Gao Yanhui didn't take the right path, but he came to find him. Gao Baoxu felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Master Gao is exaggerating. Jingnan was originally a small place in the Central Plains. A certain family is just one of the many incompetent children of the Gao family! But I don't know how to get Master Gao to look at me differently. I feel really scared!" Gao Baoxu didn't dare to reveal his thoughts, after all, it involved too much.
Although he knew Liang Zan, he didn't know anything about Gao Yanhui. So to put it politely, Gao Baoxu is a little tight-lipped. But when he looked back, he saw Lei Zhenzi's eyes were thoughtful as he made the move, and he couldn't help but feel a little more cautious.
"You don't have to be polite, and I don't talk in circles!" I didn't expect that Gao Yanhui was an outspoken person. Seeing Gao Baoxu's doubts, he couldn't help but said directly: "I was originally the governor of Yingzhou outside the pass. Just this month. I surrendered to the imperial court and followed His Majesty back to Tokyo from the north! I didn’t expect that I would be sent out to serve as the deputy envoy to see the bride off before I even got a foothold in Tokyo!"
Seeing Gao Baoxu thoughtfully, Gao Yanhui did not stop, nor did he pay attention to Wei Qi and Lei Zhenzi who were accompanying him, but continued: "Originally, the ministers can only obey the orders assigned by His Majesty. But because of this The princess who is getting married for the second time comes from the palace of Prince Wei, a prominent family in the Central Plains, so the accompanying team is quite large! In addition, the emperor may have some ideas and actually urged the team to go south quickly!"
"Now we have arrived outside Jiangling Mansion, but because the team is too large, we cannot enter the city smoothly!" When he said this, Gao Yanhui paused for a moment. Seeing that Gao Baoxu did not say anything, he seemed to be relieved, and then said: "Originally If you're not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if the guards take a detour, but this will inevitably delay time!"
Although Gao Baoxu did not speak, he also understood what Gao Yanhui meant, that is, he was worried about the guards who had not entered the city because they could not travel smoothly and wasted time.
