Gao Pragmatic, who is in the capital of the northern capital, has secured his position as chief minister at the age of less than forty by virtue of his prestige. Gao Yuan, who is in the small town on the southern border, is also working hard for his own prestige.
Before coming to southern Xinjiang, Gao Yuan was just a noble and abstract symbol in the minds of all walks of life in southern Xinjiang - the eldest son of Gao Pragmatic and Huang Zhiting.
Of course, this is something Gao Yuan himself knows very well, so after coming to Southern Xinjiang, he needs to make his image more concrete and show some characteristics as much as possible, especially the characteristics of a superior person.
These things were not taught to him by his father who was highly pragmatic, but by his mother and aunt. Of course, the aunt here only refers to Liu Xin, but does not include Meng Guzhezhe and Jia Fei Ji. After all, the former is Gao Yuan's first teacher, and the latter two have very little communication with Gao Yuan.
Relatively speaking, Liu Xin, as the first teacher, taught him more formally, and what he said was mainly "big principles". As a biological mother, Huang Zhiting would naturally be willing to speak more straightforwardly - for example, as the eldest son of the sixth room of the Gao family and the de facto young master of southern Xinjiang, how Gao Yuan should establish his power and show favors on such "technical aspects" "Notes.
According to his mother's teachings, Gao Yuan's first stop when he landed in southern Xinjiang was undoubtedly Dingnancheng. Dingnan is the core of Southern Xinjiang's rule. As the eldest young master, Gao Yuan, since he is going south to take charge of military affairs this time, he naturally has to meet the senior officials of Southern Xinjiang here one by one.
Perhaps because of the rock-solid inheritance system of the eldest son in the Ming Dynasty, the senior military and political leaders in southern Xinjiang all attached great importance to Gao Yuan's arrival without exception.
In terms of "civilian officials", Gao Mengnan, the Prime Minister of Siam and the head of Siam's national policy advisory group, brought all the central ministers of Siam, Annam, Namjan, Bago and other kingdoms as well as officials above the patrol envoy to the port to greet him.
In terms of "military generals", Gao Jue, deputy director of the Military Command Department of the Southern Xinjiang Guard Army, led by generals at all levels in the Military Command Department and commanders of major garrison forces (deputy commanders stayed at the station), chiefs of staff, logistics chiefs, and the Nanyang Fleet Commander (deputy commander The generals who stayed at the station), chief of staff, chief of logistics and garrison envoys in several key areas came to the port to greet them.
Suddenly, Dingnan City was not only crowded with officials, but also because most of the generals who came from other places came with hundreds of guards, the military in the city was extremely powerful and even seemed a little murderous.
Under such a situation, the Siamese royal family was naturally frightened and trembling. The royal family, from the king to various dignitaries, all attended the welcoming ceremony. They accompanied Jinghua's senior officials to greet him at the port early in the morning. Although each of them had umbrellas to protect them from the sun, they were still kept drinking water from the hot sun. However, they did not dare to show any sign of impatience. Instead, they had to maintain a humble and even flattering smile at all times.
It is easy to be delayed by sea conditions and weather problems when sailing at sea. Gao Yuan's trip was also slightly affected by a period of headwind this time. It was almost noon when he finally arrived at Dingnan Port.
When Gao Yuan's second-class battleship "Dongchang" of the Beiyang Fleet—the flagship of Gao Pragmatic's expedition to North Korea—arrived outside Dingnan Port, a welcome ceremony immediately began in the port. It is said that firecrackers are blasting, gongs and drums are noisy, and various flower petals are sprinkled in unknown ways on the watchtowers all over the harbor. It can be said that there is some strange romance in the grandeur.
Gao Yuan, who had already walked out of the cabin, had already seen the crowded Dingnan Port. Knowing that the crowds in this huge port were all here to greet him, he was young and it was his first time to travel alone. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel excited.
These are the inheritance that father and mother will hand over to themselves in the future!
Of course, of course, if you want to successfully take over this huge inheritance, in addition to being the natural eldest son, you must also be trustworthy.
Gao Yuan took a deep breath and recalled in his mind his mother's teachings before leaving: "A noble and courteous corporal, serious and approachable."
These words seemed contradictory, but Huang Zhiting did not explain too much, but asked Gao Yuan to understand it on his own. Gao Yuan chewed on this sentence many times along the way. Sometimes he felt that he understood it, and sometimes he felt that he still had doubts.
But no matter what, now that Dingnancheng has arrived, his journey of trial will finally officially begin. No matter how much you have understood your mother's words, now is the time to see the truth.
In a daze, the battleship "Dongchang" slowly docked. A large group of civil and military officials from southern Xinjiang walked forward quickly, and Gao Yuan also walked slowly off the side of the ship after the guards arranged the guard of honor.
At this time, the people who came to greet him from southern Xinjiang quickly divided into two groups. The vast majority of them knelt down as soon as they saw Gao Yuan landing on the shore. Among them were many civil servants and generals of the garrison who were ministers of various kingdoms. A few of them still stood, but held their hands towards Gaoyuan from a distance, with affectionate smiles on their faces.
The former are all servants of the Gao family, including Gao Jue, who has the highest status in the military general line; the latter are all relatives of the Gao family, no matter how close they are, as long as their surname is Gao, they do not have to kneel down, and Gao Mengnan is the leader.
"My uncle is here to greet me. My nephew is extremely frightened. This is too polite." Before Gao Mengnan could speak, Gao Yuan bowed his hands and said loudly.
Naturally, Gao Mengnan would not take "my nephew is extremely frightened" seriously. He laughed loudly, stepped forward quickly, and said loudly: "My nephew is here to patrol on behalf of my father. Although I am an elder, I am a subordinate. How can I tolerate my nephew?" Big gift?"
Then he paused for a moment, respectfully raised his hands above his head, bowed his head, and said: "Gao Mengnan, the Prime Minister of Siam and the head of Siam's national policy advisory group, together with the civil and military members of South Xinjiang, welcome the young master of the family to come for inspection and ask questions. Please be safe, Master of the House."
Gao Yuan looked solemn, straightened his back, and said, "My father is very happy, please excuse me."
Gao Mengnan straightened up and winked at Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan immediately glanced at the big man in military uniform who was still kneeling next to him, and stepped forward to help him up. At the same time, he said: "Master Pu Shi, please get up quickly. Wouldn't such a great gift be a disgrace to this junior? Before this junior leaves, my father and family Cijun has told me to ask you for advice more humbly."
Gao Jue never took a title. Pu Shi was his name and was given by Gao Pingshi, so Gao Yuan called him "Pu Shi Gong".
"I don't dare to use the word 'asking for advice' from the young master. From now on, whenever the young master asks for advice, I will tell you everything I know." Gao Jue did not deliberately refuse to get up. Gao Yuan personally helped him, and he got up accordingly. Yes, but he always maintained a sense of humility in his words and refused to cross the identity gap between the servant and the young master.
Gao Yuan believed what Gao Yuan said, "My father and my wife have told me to ask you for advice more humbly." Gao Jue believed it, but it was okay for the family head and mistress to say so, but if he really took this sentence as a banner , and from then on he pointed fingers at Gao Yuan, saying that he was out of his mind.
He still bowed slightly humbly and said: "Thanks to the respect of Master and Madam, although the young man is stupid, he may be stupid. If it can benefit the young master, it will be a small blessing."
That's enough. After all, there are many people present who need to meet the eldest young master Gao Yuan. Therefore, Gao Mengnan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Although the eldest young master was born in Dingnan, he returned to Beijing to inherit the country when he was young. Thanks to the master of the family, many people here in Southern Xinjiang may not be familiar with them, so why not let me introduce them to the young master one by one."
Gao Yuan immediately said: "What uncle said is absolutely true, then there is Uncle Lao."
Gao Mengnan smiled and said: "Why do you call it labor when you have to do your job?" Then he stretched out his hand to point to a scribe behind him with a pale face... even a somewhat delicate face, and said with a smile: "This person is a close friend of your parents. : Deputy envoy Xuanwei of the Xuanwei Department in Jiugang and Duke Cen, the garrison envoy of Aceh, are silent."
Cen Ling was one of the few people who could stand up to Gao Yuan despite not being a member of the Gao family.
"Ah, it turns out to be Uncle Cen!" Gao Yuan showed a delighted smile and said, "Jia Yan admires you very much, and Jia Ci often talks about his friendship with you when we were in Guangxi and Annan in the past. Seeing you today, My nephew is really full of joy."
Having said that, Gao Yuan looked at the "Uncle Cen" in front of him very carefully, and at the same time he was amazed: this Uncle Cen indeed looked like a boy and a girl. His father said that when he first met him, he even suspected that he was a girl. Dressing up as a man seems to make sense now. However, how did such a person get the name "King of Hell"?
Gao Yuan was puzzled. It seemed difficult to imagine that a person with the image of Cen Ling could actually be an executioner with bloody hands. In his opinion, Cen Ling's image is more like that of a scholar than his father, who was a highly pragmatic and top-ranked scholar.
Cen Ling, who was so handsome that he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is a genius, a genius in both literature and martial arts. He can't surpass a martial artist. How dare you praise him? As for your Majesty, she is from the same background as Ling, indeed. There are some old friends.
But speaking of it, this old friendship was mostly due to my father-in-law. Looking back now, it really makes people smile. "
Although Gao Yuan had heard some stories, they were often incomplete. He was inevitably a little inquisitive when he heard the words. Unfortunately, now was definitely not the time, so he had to say: "Is it like this? My nephew used to listen to his mother talking about old things in Guangxi, and he often asked. I only heard a few words, and many things were incoherent, which is a pity. I don’t know how long Uncle Cen wants to stay in Dingnan this time. If time permits, my nephew would like to hear Uncle Cen’s detailed heroic stories of those years."
Cen Ling waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can I have any heroic stories? If you want to talk about heroic stories, the young master should ask your father-in-law. Your father-in-law served in Guangxi back then. In fact, it didn't take long to talk about it, but he served for ten terms. There are many big things that even the patrolmen can't accomplish, and that's the real hero."
As Gao Mengnan introduced them one by one, Gao Yuan also greeted them one by one. At this time, it became clear that it was necessary for Gao Yuan to read a lot of southern Xinjiang archives carefully before setting off south. Gao Yuan basically remembered most of the people who had the opportunity to speak to him alone. s personal profile".
Therefore, Gao Yuan can always communicate with others based on their strengths and past experiences, which quickly closes the psychological distance between him and them, and soon makes most people have a positive attitude towards the young master.
