Ever since he became Zhu Houzhao's personal chamberlain, others have always given him gifts, and he has never given gifts to others.
Now he suddenly wanted to prepare a big gift for Li Huan, which made Gu Dayong a little unsure about what kind of gift he should prepare.
After pondering for a while, Gu Dayong still had no clue. He raised his head and saw the little chamberlain serving at the side and waved to him.
The young chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
Gu Dayong nodded and said: "Let me ask you, if we want to give a gift to someone, what should we give it to someone?"
The young chamberlain couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, as if he couldn't believe what Gu Dayong said. In his opinion, Gu Dayong was a superior being. In such a huge palace, there was only one person who could make Gu Dayong fawn over.
It’s only today.
How could someone have such a great reputation that even Gu Dayong would think of giving him a gift?
Even the little chamberlain was a little confused for a moment, but under Gu Dayong's gaze, the little chamberlain swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice: "I think the gift you should give depends on the identity of the other person and what his needs are. It's so targeted.
Sexual choice shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Gu Da's eyes lit up and he nodded.
One evening a few days later, Li Huan got off work from the government office. When he walked to the entrance of the alley where he lived, he couldn't help but pause in his steps and his eyes focused.
At the entrance of the courtyard where he lived, he saw several figures standing there. The leader was none other than the emperor's personal attendant Gu Dayong.
There was some doubt in my heart, maybe the emperor summoned him for something.
As he stepped forward quickly, Li Huan showed a smile on his face and said from afar: "If my father-in-law has something to do, I can send someone to the Yamen to send a message, but it would be rude to let my father-in-law stay here for a long time."
Gu Dayong chuckled, strode forward and said: "This time our family is not here for official business, so why bother going to the Yamen to disturb Brother Li? After all, it is our family that is causing the disturbance."
Li Huan was even more surprised. While exchanging greetings, he led Gu Dayong into the courtyard and said: "The humble house is simple and crude, and it cannot be seen by my father-in-law. It makes my father-in-law laugh."
Gu Dayong looked at the small courtyard. The courtyard was not big and was kept very neatly, but he could not get rid of the fact that it was just an ordinary small courtyard.
Ordinarily, with Li Huan's status and power, if he wanted to find a good courtyard in the capital, it would be just a matter of words, and he would not have to step forward. Someone would be ready, but Li Huan lives in such a small courtyard.
, just this temperament of being unfazed by humiliation made Gu Dayong admire him endlessly.
"My little brother is an upright and honest official. Our family deeply admires him!"
Welcoming Gu Dayong into the living room and inviting Forsythia to serve tea, Li Huan smiled and said: "My father-in-law is not serving your majesty in the palace, how can he have time to look for his younger brother?"
Gu Dayong smiled slightly and said to the young eunuchs outside the door: "Bring the things in for us!"
Just now, Li Huan noticed a big box next to Gu Dayong, and he was really curious. Now he saw several young eunuchs carrying the box in and couldn't help but look at Gu Dayong and said: "Father, this is..."
Gu Da smiled and said to a young eunuch: "Open the box!"
As the little eunuch opened the box, a strong medicinal aroma suddenly hit his face. There were various prepared medicinal materials neatly placed in the box, and the medicinal aroma emanated from these medicinal materials.
At a glance, there are hundreds of years of human body, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. Li Huan has handled too many medicinal materials in the past two years. Just by smelling the aroma of the medicines, he can tell that these medicinal materials are definitely top-notch treasures. Simply.
By some estimates, the value is probably no less than tens of thousands of taels.
In particular, several of the medicinal materials are the auxiliary materials he needs to achieve breakthroughs in practice. If he can find and prepare the decoction, it will be enough to make his practice speed increase by leaps and bounds.
With some surprise, Li Huan looked at Gu Dayong and said: "These medicinal materials..."
Noticing the change in Li Huan's expression, Gu Dayong couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I gave it to you, brother. How do you like it? Are you satisfied?"
It turned out that Gu Dayong learned from Ma Yongcheng that Li Huan seemed to be frequenting the drug store recently, looking for some precious medicinal materials. Then he thought of Li Huan practicing Kung Fu, and he immediately knew what gift he should give Li Huan.
After several days of preparation, Gu Dayong brought this box of carefully selected precious medicinal materials to the door to say thank you. Now looking at Li Huan's reaction, Gu Dayong knew that he was definitely the right gift.
Li Huan visited several medicine shops these days. Either they didn't have any or the prices were too high. He didn't have enough money at all. Looking at so many medicinal materials now, it would be a lie to say he wasn't satisfied.
But Li Huan soon calmed down and looked at Gu Dayong with some doubts: "Brother Gu, this gift is really too precious. As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit, but I dare not accept it!"
Gu Dayong couldn't help laughing and said: "To be honest, brother, I have been promoted to the Royal Horse Supervisor by Your Majesty thanks to your blessing. These medicinal materials are just my thoughts, so you must accept them.
Down."
Li Huan was confused and couldn't figure it out. What does Gu Dayong's promotion to the director of the Royal Horse Supervisor have to do with him? He has been busy accepting the Jin Yiwei personnel transferred from below these past few days. He didn't even meet the emperor. He just wanted to
I have no chance to use my kind words to help Gu Da.
Seeing Li Huan's puzzled look, Gu Dayong looked around and waved his hands at the young eunuchs. Immediately, the young eunuchs withdrew. When Li Huan saw it, he knew that it was Gu Dayong who wanted it.
He told himself some secrets and nodded towards Forsythia.
Forsythia also retreated with the two palace ladies, leaving only Li Huan and Gu Dayong in the living room.
At this moment, Gu Da told Li Huan what happened with a serious face, and then patted Li Huan on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Brother, you have completely won the trust of His Majesty, and you will be very successful in the future."
It’s not a problem. And thanks to your blessing, I can successfully take the position of the Horse Controller."
Li Huan was not surprised at all when he heard that Dongchang reported his meeting with Luo Wenxiang to the emperor. Dongchang himself had the responsibility of supervising the Jinyiwei officials, and the emperor entrusted him with such an important matter, even if it was
Even if the emperor did not give orders, Ma Yongcheng, a factory owner, would also report information about him to the emperor.
But what Li Huan didn't expect was that the emperor Zhu Houzhao would be so aggrieved by the oppression of hundreds of officials. Originally, Zhu Houzhao was a young man who advocated freedom. It was really not easy to be stable for so long. No wonder the backlash would be so intense later. His feelings were
The oppression was too severe.
Think about it, Li Huan would like to thank the officials and the cabinet this time. If they hadn't wanted to take care of everything, even the emperor's personal army Jin Yiwei didn't want Zhu Houzhao to intervene, how could he have the chance Li Huan had now.
As for Gu Dayong's promotion to the position of Chief Royal Horse Supervisor, it can only be said that it happened at the right time. Considering the relationship between Gu Dayong and Zhu Houzhao, it was only a matter of time before he took over the power.
Gu Da said with a smile: "Now you know why I came to thank you."
Li Huan looked at the box of precious medicinal materials and saw that they were indeed what he needed right now. He pondered for a moment and said, "This would be disrespectful to me!"
Gu Dayong laughed and said: "You are going to be in charge of Jinyiwei soon. If you want anything by then, I'm afraid you won't be able to get this little medicinal material."
