Gong Jun has passed the age of confusion.
He has practiced his internal skills well. He originally looked at most thirty years old, but he deliberately pretended to be old.
She likes to frown whenever she has something or nothing, and there are lines on her forehead. Before going out every day, I used a thin brush with a woman's thrush to draw a few lines on the corners of my eyes, left a beard, and dyed my hair and temples gray with a recipe.
People who didn't know thought he was almost fifty years old this year.
The reason why Gong Jun did this was also a last resort.
At the age of 40, you may already have several grandchildren in the folk. As a grandfather, you have long since retired from the ranks of young and strong, but at the age of 40, it is still not enough in the official circles.
The military attachés are generally younger. Look at the upward-facing civil service group. Those who are admitted to the jinshi around the age of 30 have a bright future. They have been in the Hanlin Academy for seven or eight years. After being released for about ten years, when he came back, he was a third-grade fourth-grade officer. By the time he reaches the position of prime minister, he will be very old.
Qualifications and experience are the top priorities in the officialdom.
Being young is easy to be looked down upon, and being young means that it is difficult to get promoted.
Even if the age is real, how a person "looks" is still very important. After all, colleagues and bosses can't meet Guigeng, unless they want to be a matchmaker.
The reason why Gong Jun acted old is not only this, but also the particularity of his official position.
If he can be a deputy commander, he is naturally the emperor's confidant.
The emperor was already old, and it was nothing to see a forty-something cronie running around all day looking older than he actually was. But high-spirited seems to be troublesome when he is in his thirties. Is there a good life for the cronies whom the emperor finds annoying
Gong Jun has been an official for more than ten years and has gradually risen to this position.
He has been the deputy commander of Jinyiwei for five years, which is longer than any commander and deputy commander.
Gong Jun won't let himself be too incompetent, but he won't appear too competent either.
- You can't let ambitious subordinates think that they are soft persimmons, and they can be promoted if they are kicked over, and they can't let these people think that they are a stumbling block.
Old, isn't it a good reason
By the way, I have to add illness. A deputy commander of Jin Yiwei who has done his best for the emperor and has fallen into the root of his illness, he is also old, and he will be honored at most in the future, which is not a threat at all.
In the current situation, unless the current commander dies suddenly, the position of his deputy commander has almost come to an end in this dynasty. He knows too many secrets, and it is estimated that he will not end well in the future. Civil servants can report to old age and return to their hometown, but it is quite difficult for Jin Yiwei's higher occupation to die at home safely and securely.
Gong Jun has always only talked about loyalty to the king. That authentic commander has been thinking about retreating all day. Could he be unprepared
It's just that Gong Jun is extraordinarily indifferent compared to the commander of Jinyiwei who has been thinking about which prince to serve.
-Because he doesn't like any of them!
These princes are either incompetent, cowardly, or self-righteous.
The prince looks a bit like, but the prince's health is too bad, Gong Jun feels that before the emperor dies, the prince may have to take a step first.
Gong Jun couldn't follow the path of "From the Dragon's Power", so he could only find another way.
He's going to do a great job.
It's not a rescue, it's a great achievement that makes the royal family of the Qi Dynasty appreciate his achievements, and then they can be called sick and honored with peace of mind.
What's so great about it? That is of course the whereabouts of the Chuan Guo Yuxi!
Emperor Lu Zhang and the commander of Jinyiwei Zhou both believed that some of the treasures of the Chu Dynasty, including the jade seal of the state, were taken away by Meng Qi, but Gong Jun didn't think so.
He carefully studied the historical materials left by the previous dynasty, not only the Chu dynasty, but also the Chen dynasty.
Lu Zhang believed that Meng Qi had had a rift with Chu Yuandi’s monarchs and ministers and stole the jade seal; Commander Zhou felt that Meng Qi had stolen the jade seal when the Chu Dynasty was early to chase after the Chen Dynasty royal family. Gong Jun thinks that these are all wrong. Judging from the limited records of historians and the detailed notes on the daily life of Emperor Chu, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects at the founding of the Chu Dynasty was very harmonious at first. real people.
Today, civilians, military and generals are divided into factions, and whatever political opponents propose, they will all oppose it. It is commonly known as opposing and opposing, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the people or not.
Gong Jun is not the kind of courtier who is an official and the people, but he will respect such a person.
Meng Guoshi did not seek fame or gain, and he was deeply trusted by Emperor Chu Yuan, so why did he steal the jade seal
According to Meng Guoshi's clear love and hate temperament, after Chu Yuandi killed Sangong Jiuhou, he was more likely to chop off the emperor's head instead of stealing the jade seal.
Therefore, the whereabouts of the Chuan Guo Yuxi should have nothing to do with Meng Qi.
As for Xue Ting, the magistrate of the county that Jin Yiwei dug out from the pile of old papers, Gong Jun did not think that the Jade Seal of the State and the descendants of the previous dynasty would be related to this person. As a Jianghu native, isn't Xue Ting's approach very clear? Seeing through the situation, he ran away because he thought it was troublesome.
Gong Jun loves money, but also the prosperity of the capital.
Gong Jun absolutely refused to let him run like Xue Ting.
He spent a lot of effort to find the jade seal of the country, but he finally found out that there was something wrong with the Liuhe Temple on the Dragon Claw Peak of Shangyun Mountain.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Gong Jun casually finished interrogating these Jianghu people, and he waved his hand to let someone take them down. He paced slowly in the backyard, and the old monk was chanting Buddha in horror.
Gong Jun paused for half a cup of tea, and the hair on his back did not stand up.
Was the warning sign just now an illusion
Besides, Mo Li quickly pressed Meng Qi's head down when Gong Jun turned his head to look at him - martial arts masters are all aware of bad eyes, and if they stare for a long time, they will definitely be discovered.
Since Meng Qi saw Gong Jun, he couldn't help but move his right hand three times, and the idea of hitting someone was obvious.
"Don't be impatient, there is a chance." Mo Li persevered with a smile.
"This person is very slippery, like a timid rabbit. As soon as there is trouble, he immediately gets back into the nest." Meng Qi said in a resentful tone.
Mo Li originally wanted to say that rabbits don't have the habit of living with cats, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Does he know that you are afraid of raccoon slaves?"
"I'm not… "
Meng Qi refuted half a sentence, and then held back.
Because Mo Li explained it for him.
"I know what the raccoon slaves are afraid of, but I just don't want to meet them. If you really want to have deep hatred, let alone raising eight, even if the house is full of raccoon slaves, it won't work."
This is true.
It's just a raccoon slave. As long as you close your eyes and rush over, chop off Gong Jun's head and leave, who can stop him
"The doctor still knows me."
"Well said..."
In fact, Mo Li didn't want to accept this confidant tacit understanding.
Mo Li was concerned about the truth of this Gong Jun, he said in a low voice, "Since he doesn't know what you think of the raccoon slave, raising the raccoon slave should be just a coincidence. It's all a coincidence, how can you say that he hides at home at every turn, it's actually a cowardice Small?"
Meng Qi said glumly: "Gong Jun is a scumbag in the officialdom, and he plays the trick of cheating and shirking responsibilities very smoothly. He has a nimble brain and excellent eyesight. Whenever he thinks there is danger or trouble , he will find a reason to avoid it. Now he just heard about the treasures of Emperor Li's Mausoleum. If he catches the Jianghu people from Yongzhou and hears the name of 'Meng Qi', I guarantee that he will leave immediately regardless of whether the rumor is true or not. outside."
"If Lu Zhang ordered him to deal with you, could he still run?" Mo Li asked curiously.
"It depends on what he does." Meng Qi said disapprovingly, "The worst policy is to pretend to have an old injury, the middle policy is to protect the emperor from entering the palace and escort the escort, the best policy is to find a bigger thing and then Work diligently and diligently. In the end, whether it is the treasure of the imperial mausoleum or me, this is a trivial matter that has nothing to do with the court situation, and Lu Zhang will always have more troubles to send Jinyiwei to deal with."
Mo Li thought to himself that officialdom was really complicated.
Can see through Gong Jun's way, Meng Qi may have also done this kind of lazy way of avoiding things
Mo Li watched Gong Jun walking around in the temple, and he always felt as if he was looking for something. The old monk looked a little wrong, as if he was too nervous, and the arm holding the rosary was trembling.
If it was before, it would be reasonable to be afraid that the commander of Jinyiwei would anger the monks.
But now, after the investigation, Gong Jun didn't even feel too embarrassed for those Jianghu people, so what was the old monk afraid of
Thinking about it, Mo Li suddenly heard Meng Qi whispering beside him.
"This abbot may know something." Meng Qi said.
"Um?"
Ink carp is unknown.
It is said that below Liuhe Temple is the Mausoleum of Emperor Li. Could it be that the abbot of this temple is the guardian of the mausoleum
It shouldn't be. Emperor Chen Li's reign was two hundred years ago. The Chen Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline because of Emperor Li's ignorance. In fact, there were several emperors later. What kind of guardian of the mausoleum can pass on for two hundred years, willing to be poor, only to be a monk in the temple, and to keep the secrets intact
Even if someone is loyal to Chen Chao, they are also loyal to Emperor Chen Li, but what about his descendants
Even the emperor can't maintain the status of his own descendants, is it possible for the mere guardians of the mausoleum
This is not because of loyalty, guarding the tombs of heroes and martyrs - what they are guarding is a huge wealth, a secret that can be exchanged for money as long as you don't need to do it yourself.
Even if you believe that the emperor's son is a fool who is destined to go, but the Chen Dynasty is gone, and the Chu Dynasty is gone, what's the point of insisting
Meng Qi guessed what Mo Li was thinking, he shook his head and said, "There is no guardian of the tomb of Emperor Li, and Emperor Chen Li wished that no one in the world knew where his tomb was, so why would he leave a guardian of the tomb?"
"...Have you met Emperor Chen Chaoli?"
"It doesn't count." Meng Qi said with difficulty.
If you do not meet in human form, you do not meet.
"If I can have such martial arts as I am now, I will definitely make trouble so that he can't build a mausoleum."
Which mountain spirit likes to have a deep and big hole dug at home
"Since Emperor Qin, there have been more than a dozen imperial mausoleums in Shangyun Mountain. Some were dug up by the later dynasty, and some are still there. Anyway, I'm used to it." Meng Qi was very helpless, and sighed again. , "But other emperors are buried, what about Emperor Chen Li?"
Die an emperor and dig a pit.
Emperor Chen Li wanted to repair the tomb of suspicion, so he dug six pits within the range of Shangyun Mountain, which was too much.
"What's even worse is that his suspicious graves have been found one after another, dug and dug again... and no one has filled them up after digging! They are all emperors, and he has caused me the most trouble!" Taijing Longmai was indignant. Say.
Mo carp began to appreciate the remoteness of Qimao Mountain.
For Shan Ling, ordinary tombs are nothing, one is small, and the other is that it has decayed and turned into dust and sand together with the coffin over time.
But once you reach the level of a prince or an emperor, the scale is huge and it exists for a long time. It is difficult to ignore it.
Mo Li patted Meng Qi on the back, and Quan made comfort.
"You just said that this abbot knows about Li Di Ling?"
"Not bad, because he looks a bit like a person." Meng Qi said uncertainly.
"Who?"
"... A monk at Baoguo Temple in Taijing, I haven't seen him for about 20 years. Now that he is like this, I'm not sure."
Meng Qi really didn't want to mention his age, but there were always so many things to remind Mo Li anytime, anywhere.
Heart congestion.
After the two finished speaking, they saw Gong Jun walk up to the old monk and let the abbot lead the way to a secluded wing.
The old monk, sweating on his forehead, lowered his head and led the way.
Gong Jun's eyes seemed to be scrutinizing.
Meng Qi pondered: "It may be that monk, Gong Jun probably found out his identity."
"Who is he? Is his identity hidden?" Mo Li was somewhat surprised.
"If it is the person I think, then he is a descendant of the Chen Dynasty, and his father is the prince of the Chen Dynasty who died in the river."
Mo Li was slightly surprised when he heard this: "So, he is hiding here on purpose?"
"Perhaps." Meng Qi recalled with a frown, "At that time, Li Yuanze did not kill all the descendants of the previous dynasty, especially those children. Although his father was the prince, he still survived. He was originally under house arrest in the old palace of the Chen dynasty. Later, he voluntarily became a monk and entered the Baoguo Temple in Taijing. No one in the Chen Dynasty thought about restoring the country. He has been honest for many years. Later, the Chu Dynasty was destroyed, and he may have taken the opportunity to escape and escape to Liuhe Temple. I don’t know. Is it a coincidence that he came here, or he knows that Emperor Li's mausoleum is below this place."
