Removal pending investigation, in layman's terms, means dismissal first and waiting for the court to investigate and collect evidence before making any punishment.
Gao Pinggong was convinced that Liu Xian had been impeached countless times in history, and dismissed for review probably quite a few times, but he didn't know the specific reason this time.
Gao pragmatic actually wanted to ask, but he felt that he was just a little kid at the moment, and even if he asked, he might not be able to help much. Besides, according to the original history, although a capable person like Liu Xian could be withdrawn at the request of the imperial court, once the If you need to employ people, you can activate them at any time. When he died later, his official position was that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion. At least in terms of rank, he was already a member of the first-rank imperial court. It can be seen that this dismissal should not be a big deal.
However, looking at Liu Wei's face now, he looks quite depressed. Is there any hidden secret in it?
Gao pragmatic suddenly thought that in the past few years, the Duzhang barbarians were going to be in trouble again. Historically, Liu Xian and his son had made great contributions in this battle to completely put down the Duzhang barbarian rebellion. Not to mention that Liu Xian "reached the pinnacle of his life" as a result, the key point is that Liu Wei seemed to have entered the eyes of the imperial court with this battle, and truly started his decades-long military life journey.
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: It stands to reason that I haven't flapped my wings much. Is it possible that the father and son have deviated from the original history because of my appearance? Liu Wei is still very important... Do you want me to help them?
But before he could make a decision, he saw Zhang Jin and Gao Mo coming forward with about a dozen guards.
When the two of them met Gao Pragmatic, it was natural that they would beat their chests and stamp their feet and ask for help, but there was nothing much to express.
Gao Jingshi comforted them casually and didn't blame them for anything - it wasn't that Gao Jingshi was so generous, but that the two of them had indeed tried their best in Gao Jingshi's opinion. After all, Gao Pragmatic had been both a subordinate and a leader back then. He knew that their kind of work was not easy to do. In addition, he was captured in a flash of lightning. They did not stop the "Bald King" Cao Gan, it’s not that they are timid and fearful of the enemy, but that they are really out of their depth. There is no point in blaming them for this kind of thing. Instead, it makes people feel that they are unreasonable. Why bother?
The two of them felt a little relieved when they saw that Gao was pragmatic and did not blame them. However, they could not say that they were not worried at all - after returning home, the two masters would probably still have the wrath of thunder waiting for them.
Gao Mo is actually a little better here. After all, he is just a groom and a member of the Liufang family. No matter how angry Mr. Gao Ge is, he will not take all his anger out on him.
However, Zhang Jin was very frightened. He was personally appointed by Zhang Siwei to guard Gao Pragmatic, but he actually let the thieves kidnap Master Biao for so long. Fortunately, accidents occurred one after another during this period. In the end, although Gao Pingshi suffered a little, he was still safe. Otherwise, Zhang Jin would have had to die to thank the Lord. But even so, this errand of his can only be regarded as a failure. After returning home, he will not be able to escape the punishment. He just doesn't know how severe the punishment will be.
Seeing that Zhang Jin was still uneasy, Gao Pragmatic had to comfort him again and said: "Zhang Jin, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Uncle, I will personally write a letter to explain what happened today, especially... you It was my order to help General Liu and his son, and it was not your own fault. As for me falling into the hands of thieves, the responsibility for this is my own. I underestimated the opponent's martial arts, and I will do it for you. Just explain and plead, just relax."
Zhang Jin didn't expect Gao Jingshi to be so kind. His eyes were a little misty for a while, and he didn't know what to say. In the end, he simply knelt down on his knees and kowtowed hard: "Thank you, young master."
Gao Pragmatic didn't expect this man to behave like this, and thought to himself: Could it be that I still underestimated the master-servant relationship in this era?
He wanted to think back and made a decision quickly. He didn't care whether Zhang Jin would have a chance to meet him again in the future after this escort mission was over. In line with the principle of putting on a show, he simply jumped off the horse and personally took care of Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin helped him up, patted his hand, and said with a smile: "Your introduction to Yongding River was very useful to me. It was a big help to me. Since you have helped me, how can I not help me?" You? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely greet you at my uncle’s place.”
Since it is a show, of course the word "help" must be emphasized, and the same goes for "for you". As long as Zhang Jin is not confused, he will not think that introducing the Yongding River's merits can offset the fault of the owner who failed to protect it well and fell into the trap.
Gao Pragmatic is not a 16 or 17-year-old boy with a young mind. He will neither be reckless and blindly offend others, nor will he save people when he is idle. To put it in layman's terms: he will not do meaningless things. , good or bad. There was naturally a reason why he saved Zhang Jin.
The first reason is that Zhang Jin has been with his uncle for a long time and can be personally ordered by his uncle, which shows that he is actually a close person who is deeply trusted by his uncle. And no matter what this time, Gao Pragmatic did not have any major trouble in the end. Zhang Even if Siwei punishes Zhang Jin for various reasons, it will definitely not give up on this person directly, and will still use him sooner or later. In this case, it is more meaningful to sell him well and form a good relationship than to act ruthless and unjust, right?
The second reason is that in the eyes of Zhang Siwei, it is a plus point for him to defend a person who has made mistakes in protecting him: Look at how magnanimous, affectionate and righteous my nephew is!
According to Gao's pragmatic view, as long as you are living in China, no matter in any era, it is easier to have a good reputation than a bad reputation. And good reputation may not be obtained at one time. In many cases, it must be accumulated through countless small things. This is raising hope - raising hope itself is one of Gao Pragmatic's goals. Whenever there is an opportunity, how can he miss it?
Seeing such a strong man like Zhang Jin moved to tears, Gao Pragmatic was actually very happy in his heart.
What this guy didn't expect was that on the horse next to him, the little Loli quietly turned around and pulled her eldest brother over. She lowered her voice and whispered in Liu Wei's ear: "This young master Gao is very powerful. Brother, please don't do it anymore." When he sold me, I counted the money for him."
Liu Wei was originally a little moved by Gao Pangshi's actions just now. He was a man who had been on the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He was aware of the friendship between the emperor and the emperor. He felt in his heart that Mr. Gao was really a good person at such a young age. Not only is he kind-hearted, he is also tolerant and generous. If there is a chance, I must make this friend.
As a result, the next moment he heard his sister say this to him, he felt a little unhappy and muttered in a low voice: "Nonsense, this is a good person."
The little Loli rolled her eyes and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to give her big brother a hard time. But after a second thought, she gave up and just thought quietly: Forget it, this This guy has a good background, let's see if there is a chance to trick him into helping his father to say a few good words to his uncle in the pavilion and his uncle. As for the eldest brother... we'll see then.
