Li Kuo frowned slightly and strode outside the house. He saw that the Lan Yue Tower directly opposite was already crowded with people, and the bustle was so spectacular.
A middle-aged man in a short Gebu cotton coat stood in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by several border soldiers, and spoke angrily about the restaurant's different treatment of guests. It seemed that he would be here in Lanyuelou without an explanation from the restaurant.
One day of rebuke.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was already sweating profusely. Although the man named Gao was aggressive, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. No matter what the other party said, the shopkeeper could only lower his head and smile, and he was obedient. One of the soldiers on the border saw how spineless the shopkeeper was and looked down upon him with contempt.
He glanced at him and said to the man named Gao next to him: "Secretary Gao (Note 1), I think this man is just a commoner who is afraid of power. You don't have to be angry with him. Since someone reserved the place first,
We don’t have much to say. Besides, the commander-in-chief’s mission has not been completed yet, so it would be better if we change to a restaurant and have some food and wine to meet the right minister earlier.”
Secretary Gao raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands in the northwest direction and said, "Wang Duwei, you don't need to say more. The mission of the commander-in-chief cannot be delayed, but Mr. Gao doesn't like the injustice in the world.
Since the matter was bumped into by Mr. Gao today, I have to ignore it. If the Moon Tower does not open to welcome guests, Mr. Gao would not mind sending a poem to this brick wall."
The army over there seemed to know Secretary Gao's temperament, so when he saw what he said, he could only smile bitterly and say nothing more.
But the crowd had already exploded, and it was as lively as a market.
"I said, Lao He, what kind of background does this guy with the surname Gao have? He dares to make comments in front of Lanyue Tower. This is the property of Mrs. Guo Guo (Note 2). This person is either crazy or idle! How come shopkeeper Chen
I was so polite to him. If I were him, I would have asked the store guards to take this guy out. How could I allow him to be so presumptuous?" A middle-aged man in a dark brown crew-neck robe rubbed his hands and rushed to the side.
An old friend asked.
His good friend was very disdainful of his lack of knowledge, curled his lips and said: "Brother Wang, look at your potential, you don't even know about it, Secretary Gao, the most favored minister in Marshal Ge Shuhan's account, and you still have the nerve to say it.
Your nephew is working in the Hexi Army, He is really laughing to death."
The man surnamed Wang's face suddenly turned red when he was so aroused. He tried to take a few deep breaths and calmed down before asking for advice "humbly": "But I am worried that I have no friends in my future, and no one in the world knows you."
High Shit Dafu?”
The man surnamed He didn't want to push his old friend too hard, so he made a point and said: "Besides him, there is no other high-ranking secretary. They all say that he is highly appreciated by Marshal Ge Shuhan in the Hexi Army. Therefore, officers at all levels are very interested in him."
He is very respectful. But this person has a very stubborn temper, and even eight cows can't pull him back from the things he is sure of. Now that I have seen it, I want to see what Shopkeeper Chen, who usually has eyes on the top of his head, is doing.
Step down.”
It is estimated that shopkeeper Chen usually has many bosses due to the power behind him, so everyone was more happy to see that he was defeated this time than he had a few more Kaiyuan Tongbao in his bag.
Gao Shi didn't seem to notice this, and pressed forward step by step: "Why doesn't Shopkeeper Chen want the person who owns the building to come forward and explain? Could it be that no one owns the building at all? Shopkeeper Chen looks down on Gao, so he's like this
humiliation?"
After hearing this, Mr. Chen, the shopkeeper, hurriedly smiled and said: "What did Secretary Gao say? I have always respected the border generals who guard the border for the country. Without them, they fought bloody battles with the barbarians every day to protect our border with Tang Dynasty."
An Ning. How can the little old man and the elders of Chang'an live such a carefree and peaceful life? If the little old man looks down on a hero like Secretary Gao, wouldn't he be scolded by his neighbors?" Seeing Gao Shi, he seemed indifferent.
Moved, old shopkeeper Chen smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that I don't dare to offend the person who owns the building. If Secretary Gao wants to go into the building to have a drink, I might as well let him know on his behalf. I believe he admires Secretary Gao's character.
I would also like to invite Secretary Gao to the banquet."
Seeing that he was about to speak but refused to tell the name of the person who rented the building, Gao Shi's heart sank. It seemed that this person had an unusual background. Although he was very popular with Marshal Ge Shuhan in the Hexi Army
Although he was favored by the powerful people in Chang'an City, there may not be anyone willing to buy his face. But he was not the person who was afraid of the powerful people. He made up his mind, Gao Shi smiled loudly and bowed his hand to old shopkeeper Chen: "It's so troublesome."
The old shopkeeper told me that Gao wanted to meet this important person for a while. It was Gao who was reckless just now, so I would like to apologize to the old shopkeeper." After saying this, he gave a deep salute to old shopkeeper Chen and apologized.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't dare to accept this compliment from him. He quickly held Gao Shi's arm and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Gao said something serious. I will go and tell you." After saying that, he turned around and entered the restaurant.
The people watching around him exploded for a while. Some said that Gao Shi knew how to be a good person and was good at communication, while others snorted and said that Gao Shi had a false reputation and was afraid of the power of the powerful. The commentators were excited for a while, and all kinds of comments were made.
There are many different voices.
Li Kuo, who was standing outside the crowd, had a slight smile on his face. He had always admired Gao Shi as a person, and he knew that Gao Shi was not the kind of person who was just trying to gain fame. But he was not worried about Gao Shi at all, because he had been from Lan Yue Tower.
The light gray gold-trimmed curtains of the luxury carriage in front and the Qiankun Bagua map painted on it reveal the identity of the person who rented the building. Today, the Tang Dynasty court respects Taoism, and the Qiankun Bagua map, which is a symbol of Taoism, undoubtedly reveals the owner's beliefs.
The Tang Dynasty had clear regulations on the color of carriages, and gold was only used by members of the royal family. But among the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, who devoutly believed in Taoism and was powerful for a while, besides Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen?
Although Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen has made a fortune and is known as a layperson of Yuzhen, she has not stopped her contact with the mortal world at all. In recent years, which one of Li Banxian and Wang Mojie has not attended the banquet of Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen? Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been
She respects celebrities and talented people. Gao Shi has a reputation for being talented. Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely not blame Gao Shi for her temperament.
Thinking of this, Li Kuo's eyes lit up. Hearing from his mother that his grandpa had a close friendship with Gao Shi, if he goes to visit her as the son of an old friend and then gets involved with Princess Yuzhen, I believe Dezi will be very happy.
He would be acquitted soon. After all, a word from these big shots is more valuable than any amount of gold and silver, and friendship is more valuable. But after thinking about it for a moment, Li Kuo's eyes gradually dimmed, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. All Taoists take tea, although Gao Shi is not that kind.
He was the one who added insult to injury, but when he left Chang'an and went to Hexi to seek a background, he was still a child who was not as good as a general. Whether he remembered it or not was still unknown, so it was indeed a bit fanciful for him to want to rely on his connections to save his friend.
Fang wanted to turn around and leave, but someone was already holding his shoulder blades. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Yanji looking at him with a smile, and said softly: "Brother Kuo'er wants to rescue Dezi through Secretary Gao? What if we don't try?
Even if you know what to do, I don’t have any other abilities, so I can still help Brother Kuo build up his momentum."
Li Kuo felt warm in his heart. Ever since Grandpa was killed by a traitor, all of Grandpa's disciples and friends used to avoid him. They were afraid that if they ran too late, they would be labeled as Grandpa's accomplices and lose their bright future.
After being warned by their fathers, those powerful children and young masters from aristocratic families naturally had no reason to be with a poor boy like myself. Only Zhang Yanji, who had played with him since childhood, never left him, allowing him who was used to the harsh world to retain his feelings for him.
The last bit of trust in human nature. As the saying goes, when a person drinks water, he knows whether it is hot or cold. Only by experiencing it personally can you realize the preciousness of friendship.
"With Yanji's words, what else can I be afraid of? Anyway, I'm already in such a state of poverty that I don't have to worry about losing anything anymore." After laughing at himself, Li Kuo strode forward. With Zhang Yanji, the son of the minister, as his witness, Gao Shi was sure
If he can remember himself, then he can call him uncle in a dignified manner, then he can go on to plead with Princess Yuzhen, and then Dezi can be released from prison in a glorious manner. Thinking about this
, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Kuo's mouth, he squeezed through the crowd, and moved to Gao Shi amidst everyone's expressions of confusion or understanding, saluted him and said: "My nephew Li Kuo pays homage to Uncle Gao. I also wish you the best."
Uncle Gao would like to express his appreciation."
Gao Shi, who was waiting, did not expect to meet a 'nephew' here. He turned around and looked at Li Kuo with doubts and said: "This young master, Gao and the young master seem to have never had any friendship. I forgive Gao for being reckless.
I wonder if I can tell you your name."
Li Kuo thought about his grandfather who died of illness. The tip of his nose felt sore but he forced back the tears and squeezed the tears back into his eyes. He straightened the joystick and said, "My father is Li Shizhi, the left prime minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty (Note 3)."
His words were loud and clear, and everyone was shocked. Although it has been nearly ten years since Li Shizhi was suppressed, demoted, and exiled by the Right Prime Minister, his sensitivity has not faded with the passage of time.
.During the Tianbao years when Lord Right Prime Minister covered the sky with one hand, no one wanted to risk offending Lord Right Prime Minister by talking about Li Shizhi in public. Some people began to worry about Gao Shi. Lord Right Prime Minister was never a responsible and generous person.
Man, today someone claiming to be Li Shi's son came out to match Gao Shi's uncle and nephew. I'm afraid that no matter what Gao Shi does, the reputation of Li Shi's best friend will be overshadowed.
Apparently everyone underestimated Gao Shi. When the young man mentioned his old friend, Gao Shi choked up and said, "You are, are you the son of Brother Chang? Are you Li Kuo, Brother Chang's only son?"
Li Kuo shrugged, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Gao, I am my father's only son Li Kuo!"
That voice was sonorous and powerful, without any worries, mixed with pride for my grandpa, and a little bit of hope, spreading farther and farther into the sky!
