It was getting dark. Outside the gate of Taiwei's Mansion, the carriage of Kaifeng Governor stopped at the door. After clearing the surroundings from left and right, Teng Governor's Yin got off the carriage.
The official family of Zhao Song Dynasty was seriously ill, and the ministers in the court had nothing to do with each other. They just had their own circles.
Of course, Emperor Daojun was actually happy to see his subordinates forming different camps.
Because only in this way will they restrain each other, making it difficult to restrict the emperor, and the emperor can do whatever he wants.
But Gao Qiu was a Taiwei of the palace commander's office, and he was a military officer in terms of establishment.
The governor of Kaifeng is the highest local chief executive, and he is a civilian official in the establishment. Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have been incompatible.
No emperor would easily allow the civil servants and generals in his court to get too close in private. Coupled with the special reason for the founding of the Song Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties paid more attention to this.
When Captain Gao sent someone to invite Teng Mansion Yin, he also asked his servants to write a special secret letter.
The existence of a secret letter is extremely confidential and cannot be known to anyone but close confidants.
Although Teng Fuyin accepted the invitation, he still had to be careful.
When the carriage arrived, the steward of the Taiwei Mansion had been waiting at the door, but in front of the door, he only saluted respectfully and did not speak.
After they were introduced into the mansion, he said, "Master Fu Yin, please come here. The lieutenant has been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time."
"Tell Lieutenant Gao to wait a moment and lead the way."
Teng Fuyin looked as usual, with only a slight smile on his face.
In fact, there were some interactions between him and Gao Qiu in the past. If Gao Taiwei usually had any troubles, he would look down upon the person and would easily gather evidence of his crime and send someone to escort him to Kaifeng Mansion for disposal.
For the sake of Taiwei Gao's face, Teng Fuyin decided to be a favor and sentenced him to exile at will.
After all, Captain Gao had always owed him a favor.
Even so, it was just a tacit understanding. Like today, it was the first time that he was specially invited to the house.
At first he was unwilling to come, but after careful consideration, he realized that because of the recent cooperation with the Jin State, the defeat of the Liao State, and the fact that the Song Dynasty would soon regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, Gao Taiwei became more and more favored by the emperor.
It seems that if Captain Gao takes another step forward, he will become the real prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, he personally sent someone to invite him, but it was better to give him face, so he came.
Following the housekeeper, they arrived at the banquet hall of Taiwei Mansion and saw Gao Qiu standing outside the door.
Tengfu Yinlian came forward and said: "After calling me Taiwei for a long time, I am late. Please forgive me and forgive me."
"Haha, Mr. Fu Yin is too polite. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. We are members of our own family. There are so many etiquettes. It is a blessing to invite Mr. Fu Yin. Please come in and invite me."
Gao Qiu smiled heartily and lowered his posture.
Seeing his reaction, Teng Fuyin's face moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "What's wrong with Gao Qiu today? He's acting so enthusiastically. I'm afraid it's going to be even more difficult for him to do what he wants to do!"
He was worried in his heart, but his face remained calm as he walked into the house.
After everyone sat down, Gao Qiu spoke again: "I hope Mr. Fu Yin knows you. This is my son Gao Yanei."
After saying that, he turned around and directed Gao Kan: "Have you not seen Mr. Fu Yin soon and served wine with Mr. Fu Yin?"
"I've met Mr. Fu Yin, thank you very much. Mr. Fu Yin is here. Please have a glass of wine."
Gao Kan quickly picked up the wine bottle, walked to Teng Fuyin and smiled.
Seeing this, Tengfu Yin nodded and said: "He is a good young man. The Taiwei has no dogs and no dogs. I am really envious of him at Xiaguan."
"Lord Fu Yin is so complimentary."
As Gao Qiu spoke, he motioned to Gao Kan to serve at the side.
The two ministers in the court had their own thoughts. They only talked and laughed at the table, and no one spoke first.
It wasn't until after three rounds of drinking that it was almost done, and Tengfu Yin took the lead to speak.
"Excuse me, Lord Lieutenant, for your kind invitation. I feel ashamed of myself for spending so much money on you. I will definitely follow my orders if I am asked."
Teng Fuyin had already taken the initiative to speak, and Gao Qiu naturally answered immediately.
"If Mr. Fu Yin is here, it's just for a drink. If Mr. Fu Yin likes you, you'll be fine if you come here often."
Then the conversation changed and he added: "But I really have something to do. I would like to ask you to show your respect."
"Oh? I don't know who he is?" Teng Fuyin asked.
"Today, I am with Yang Zhi, who accidentally killed the idle Han Niuer in the street of Ma Xing Market."
"Yang Zhi?"
Tengfu Yin frowned slightly and added, "I didn't know, but it turns out that Yang Zhijin is still hanging around with the Taiwei."
"It's a shame to say that Yang Zhi is the grandson of our late emperor, Mrs. Yang. When someone saw that he was a general and had some skills with a stick, he fell in love with his talents and wanted to promote him."
As Gao Qiu spoke, he signaled Gao Kan to pour another glass of wine for Teng Fu Yin, and continued: "Who would have thought that this guy was so unconscious that he would cause such trouble, and I would bother Mr. Fu Yin."
After hearing this, Teng Fuyin actually already roughly knew the inside story.
Although Gao Qiu said that he had a love for talents and wanted to promote Yang Zhi, in fact, he was afraid that before today, he didn't even know who Yang Zhi was.
The person who really wants to bother him, the governor of Kaifeng, should be Gao Kan, who mixes wine next to him.
Tengfu Yin had already heard of Gao Yanei's name. This "Flower Tai Sui" used to be a good woman in Tokyo and caused a lot of troubles.
People often complained to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen. If he hadn't been there to deal with it, Gao Yameni would have been sent to the border area long ago.
After thinking about it for a moment, Tengfu Yin frowned and said with a look of embarrassment: "Normally, the Taiwei will speak in person, and the subordinates should not be ignorant of promotion. However, this Yang Zhi is different from others. Killing two cows is not a big deal, and it is only a harm to the people." , but earlier, this guy had been ordered to escort Hua Shi Gang. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the Yellow River and lost Hua Shi Gang. He also hid in hiding for a long time to avoid crime, so he was guilty. This..."
After Teng Fuyin finished speaking, Gao Kan couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Sure enough, when Yang Zhi entered Kaifeng Mansion, everything about him couldn't be contained and leaked out.
The crime of Luohua Shigang is not a big one, but it is not a small crime. It is because he ran away for so long in fear of the crime, and now he was captured for the second crime, so the small crime became a major crime.
Listening to what Teng Fuyin said, it would be difficult for people to get out.
He thought so in his heart, but Gao Qiu heard that the meaning of his words was different. Only those who were officials in the same dynasty could understand the deeper meaning.
Gao Qiu chuckled softly, raised his glass and said, "I never thought that this guy would have such a fussy attitude and make things difficult for Teng Fuyin. I will punish myself with a drink."
"Don't dare." Teng Fuyin quickly took it.
"I heard that someone in the Forbidden Army secretly communicated with the general and secretly resold the grain and grass in the general business to make money. This matter should be dealt with laxly under the rule of a certain person and should be dealt with personally."
After drinking a cup, Gao Qiu continued: "However, this matter also involves the Bianjing grain reward. It should be under the rule of Teng Fu Yin, so I want to ask Mr. Fu Yin to make a decision."
"Easy to say, easy to say, the official should be in charge!"
Tengfu Yin immediately beamed with joy when he heard this.
