In this situation, if it were Yang Shen when he was young, he would immediately stand up and scold Feng Bao for using his slaves to deceive his master in order to uphold the principles of heaven.
But it's a pity that Gao Wongshi is with the prince now, not Yang Shen. With his pragmatic and gloomy forbearance, he would never do this.
Are you kidding me? As long as Feng Bao is still Concubine Li's confidant eunuch one day, and the chief ceremonial supervisor and the admiral of Dongchang the next, this kind of tickling charge will probably not sound as loud as a fart.
In political struggles, for some enemies, it is necessary to first cut off their wings, cut off their limbs, and finally disembowel them. But for other enemies, it is necessary to collect evidence and clarify priorities. Either do not move or move will be fatal!
As for the eunuch, no matter how many wings you cut off, you will not be able to damage his bones, because all his power comes from the imperial power. As long as the superiors still favor him, you can kill a hundred of him in one day. What is the use of subordinates? There may be one hundred and one people who will take refuge in him tomorrow!
For this kind of person, one can only slowly collect evidence of crime and then find a suitable time to throw it out.
As long as his master loses trust in him, loses favor on him, or even directly becomes angry and hates him, then even if he is a powerful internal minister one second, he will be nothing more than a dead dog at the mercy of others the next second!
As for safeguarding the principles of heaven and earth... Haha, let's wait until someone like me, someone high, writes and criticizes the world and makes the universe arbitrary.
Gao Pingshi thought this in his mind, and the expression on his face became calmer, as if he didn't notice all this at all.
Feng Bao quietly cast an observant look at him. Seeing that he was so pragmatic, looking at his nose and heart, he was almost as good as an old monk. He couldn't help but snorted in his heart and said to himself: "You little loser, you can't even see this little bit of knowledge." Fortunately, you guys are still praising you outside. Huh, if it weren't for the tall beard on your back that's hard to deal with, just with your eyes and abilities, it would be as easy for a man to kill you as to crush an ant!
However, Gao Pingshi looked like an old monk in meditation, but out of the corner of his eye, he clearly saw the contemptuous sneer on Feng Bao's lips, and thought to himself: I heard that Mr. Feng Chang is also a well-educated person, and he often calls himself a scholar. Could it be that you haven't even read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? 'A dragon can be big or small, it can rise or disappear; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist; if it is small, it can conceal its form; if it rises, it can soar in the universe; if it is hidden, it can lurk within the waves'... However, the dragon also wants to " "Changes with time". In the current situation, you are afraid of me, the Third Bo Emperor's Master, Zaifu, and Wushuang Holy Family, but I am afraid of you, a centipede insect, dead but not stiff. Do you really think I can't tell?
But when I thought about it again, I felt that this was also a good thing. Although stabbing people with a knife is domineering and powerful, it is too revealing and can easily lead to "crowd ridicule". In a good situation, he becomes a Dong Zhuo who seeks hatred.
In contrast, Cao Mengde, who is developing his strength secretly, is suitable to be a role model. When the opportunity comes, the emperor will be in my hands, what will be difficult to handle? Let me look down upon you and let you be arrogant. There will be times in the future when you will regret it.
Since the journey was very short, it didn't take long to reach Chengqian Palace this time. The shape and scenery of Chengqian Palace are very similar to Zhongcui Palace, so I won’t mention it.
Feng Bao led Zhu Yijun and Gao Pangshi into the main hall of the main courtyard, where Concubine Li Guifei was already sitting and waiting.
Concubine Li was a person who respected etiquette. After the three of them paid homage to each other according to the rules, she nodded and said, "Prince, please sit aside and listen." After saying this, the maid led Zhu Yijun to sit aside.
Concubine Li looked at Gao Pragmatic with great interest for a while, then smiled slightly and said: "Gao Shidu, I have carefully read your masterpiece last night, and I am very satisfied."
Gao Pragmatic hurriedly said a few words of modesty, but they were all clichés and there was no need to elaborate.
Concubine Li said again: "I am a little curious. You are the same age as the prince, why are you so precocious? I have asked people, and I know that your family is a family of officials and a major leader in practical learning in the Ming Dynasty. Your grandfather Gao Shangxian is Zhengde's Gengwu Section was a Jinshi, and Zhengde's Dingchou Section was a Jinshi; your uncle Gao Jie was a Jiajing Jiawu imperial examination candidate, and he was a Jinshi in the Yiwei Department; as for your Mr. Sanbo Gao, there is no need to mention it... When I heard about it, I admired it very much, so I thought I would like to ask you, Gao Shidu, for advice. Is there any cleverness in this reading?"
"The imperial concubine has betrayed a humble minister, how dare I ask for advice." Gao Pingshi smiled slightly and said: "The imperial concubine asked just now that there are tricks in reading. In fact, there are only methods in reading, and there is no ingenuity."
Concubine Li frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't the method just clever?"
"The method is naturally not clever." Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "The so-called cleverness usually refers to opportunism, which is also a derogatory meaning. The so-called method is not the same, because reading is actually the same as everything in the world, there are rules to follow. For example...for example, weaving, If stitches and threads are superimposed on each other, it can become a beautiful piece of embroidery; if they are randomly interspersed and slanted at will, they will become waste cloth."
Although Li Guifei did not read much, she was by no means a fool. She naturally knew that she was highly pragmatic and did not give other examples. She chose weaving as an example. Apparently she was afraid that it would be too "mysterious" and she would not understand. Although I felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed, I couldn't help but feel grateful that this little guy had thought so carefully, and my favorable impression of him immediately increased by three points.
At that moment, he smiled and nodded: "Master Gao read it thoroughly, and I understand it clearly. But, how can we 'follow' this 'trace' that can be followed?" After saying this, he felt this again. It's a bit like playing a riddle, but I am afraid that I am no match for the "knowledgeable" little guy in front of me, so I quickly added: "I am saying that the prince will soon leave the palace to study. How should he do it in order to make progress and benefit from it?" Faster?"
This is a very straightforward question, which is in line with her level.
Gao Pangshi was relieved in his heart. After all, he was not afraid of her when playing riddles, but playing riddles with a woman with a higher status than him would not yield any good results no matter what. To put it profoundly, she might think you look down on her. She, deliberately mocking her; to put it simply, she may think that you are a person of great wealth and failure, and you are really not a person who can take on important responsibilities.
Anyway, the left is wrong and the right is wrong.
"Back to the noble concubine, you gentlemen were originally considering the matter of the prince's study, and the humble minister should not say anything lightly. However, since the noble concubine asked, it is inconvenient for the humble minister to remain silent..."
Concubine Li smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The prince's study will naturally be arranged by the gentlemen. I just want to ask you if there is any 'way' to learn faster while you are studying."
Gao pragmatically said: "In fact, the methods of reading among knowledgeable people in the world are different, but I believe that in general, it should be guided by interest. If you are interested, you will be willing to study deeply; if you are not interested, you will eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. , but there is no salt in it..."
Concubine Li couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She chuckled and said, "What example did you give?"
Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to laugh.
After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Li felt that it made sense. She couldn't help but ask, "Then where does this interest come from?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Where does the interest come from? This question is a bit complicated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain in a while." Seeing Concubine Li frowning, he said calmly: "But Weichen happened to bring some today." Come with the gift, Wei Chen can use it to show the imperial concubine how to arouse 'interest'."
Concubine Li was slightly surprised and curious, and asked: "What is it?"
Gao pragmatic waved to Chen Ju behind him, and then said to Concubine Li: "This thing is called soap. It is handmade by Weichen. It has some wonderful uses. What I brought today is the best batch, and its name is 'Guose'." '."
