"Huairou, try this lychee chicken, your adoptive father likes this dish the most."

"Huairou, try this roasted suckling pig, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can eat more."

"Huairou, and this roasted pigeon is sweet and soft, just for you to nourish your body."

In the restaurant in Gao Mansion, dozens of dishes were placed on the dining table. Lu looked at Gao Mang with a smile, and kept getting up to pick up the dishes for Gao Mang himself.

Mrs. Lu looks in her early twenties, in her prime, and she is a stunning beauty. She has a gentle temperament and a gentle voice.

She didn't dare to think about it before that the Little Immortal Master, the closed disciple of Sima, would become her adopted son. To this day, the Lü family seemed to be dreaming.

Her husband, Gao Lishi, had already written to her and told her the whole story. The excitement and joy of Mrs. Lu at that time can be imagined.

Now that she saw Huairou herself, she loved it even more. She wanted the chef in the mansion to make all the delicious food so that Huairou could eat enough.

Seeing Gao Huairou's voracious look, Lu felt deeply satisfied and smiled even happier.

"Mother, you eat it too." Gao Mang wiped off the rice grains from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Lü.

The Tang Dynasty was a very tolerant dynasty, and half of the eunuchs married their wives. At that time, Gao Lishi even married the clerk of the eighth-carrying sedan chair and married the Lü as his wife.

Since the marriage, the couple Lu and Gao Lishi have been loving and respectful to each other. Apart from being unable to engage in human relations, they are no different from normal couples. They can be said to be a model of sexless marriage.

Gao Mang was deeply influenced by Taoist thought and did not discriminate against eunuchs. In fact, he did not discriminate against anyone, nor did he think that he had despised himself by despising himself as his adoptive father. Gao Lishi was indeed a person he admired very much.

The beauty and gentleness of Lu's family, as well as his unconcealed spoiling, made Gao Mang feel close to him, and he even felt like home for the first time.

While the mother and son were having dinner, a servant came in, whispered a few words to Lu, and then handed a deed to Lu.

Mrs. Lu didn't ask, but handed the land deed to Gao Mang: "Huairou, this is the land deed given to you by the Wei family. The location is pretty good, just on the side of the most prosperous street in the West City."

Gao Mang put away the land deed with embarrassment, and explained to Lü, "Mother, the Wei family bumped into me outside the Chunming Gate. If I don't accept anything, I'm afraid they and King Zhong will not be at ease."

Mrs. Lu smiled faintly: "Mother knows that Huairou does this naturally makes sense. If you want to use money, just talk to me."

The husband's letter had long mentioned that Huairou's child is Su Hui and has a very well-organized manner in his work. If it weren't for this, how could he gain the trust and love of the emperor in a short time and gain the power of the Tianyun Department in a short time.

What is even more commendable is that Huairou is at ease among all forces, and is able to do everything, showing extremely high political wisdom.

Such a genius should be more domineering, but it is wrong to not be overbearing. Shouldn’t it seem too unlovable?

At this time, another servant came in and presented a large stack of gift lists to the Lü family: "Miss mother, Wei family, Du family, Hongnong Yang family, Zhaojun Li family, and eight other aristocratic families sent gifts to congratulate the mistress and General Gao for his joy in getting Lin'er."

And this was just the beginning. One after another, the powerful and officials of Chang'an City gave various gifts, among which the gifts from King Zhong and Yang Sixu were the most eye-catching.

For large families and officials with high power, the identity of Gao Mang's little immortal master is no secret at all, so they will give generous gifts ahead of others.

Of course, since the emperor created a fake death and stripped away the identity of Gao Huairou's little immortal master, they did not dare to mention the inside story casually, so as not to anger the emperor.

Therefore, the powerful and powerful children who followed the trend and gave gifts did not understand Gao Mang's true background. Giving gifts was purely to curry favor with Gao Lishi.

Gao Mang was shocked when he watched the servants come in again and again and present the thick gift list to Lü again and again. His godfather is indeed amazing.

After dinner, Gao Mang followed Lu to the tea room. Gao Mang personally made tea for Lu. The mother and son were happy, as if they were real mother and son and had lived together for many years.

Gao Mang also felt a little incredible. This is probably fate, it is a wonderful chemical reaction between people.

The two chatted until late at night. Lu was afraid that Gao Mang would be injured when he was exhausted on the journey, so he took Gao Mang back to the attic where he lived, and deliberately called a maid and a mother, and cleaned up the three-story building inside and out.

After Lu left, Gao Mang came to the study room on the second floor, sat at the desk, and asked Ma Gu to pick up the several secret letters he received today.

The dynasty meeting in the eastern capital Luoyang has not ended, but some appointments and decisions have been decided.

As expected, the governor of Youzhou, Zhang Shougui, made a special trip to the capital to kill the Khitan King Qu Lie and Ke Tugan at the end of the year, made a special trip to Beijing to present the enemy's head. He was appointed as the General of the Right Yulin Guard, who was appointed as the third rank of the imperial court, and was appointed as the General of the Auxiliary State of Wusan, and was appointed as the General of the Auxiliary State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State, which was appointed as the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State of the Imperial State

Because of Zhang Jiuling's veto, Zhang Shougui passed by the position of prime minister.

Zhang Jiuling also blocked another person's way, that is Niu Xianke, the governor of Hexi.

Niu Xianke performed outstandingly when he served as the governor of Hexi and made many military achievements, so the emperor intended to worship him as prime minister.

However, Zhang Jiuling disagreed because Niu Xianke was a minor official, "No, the Xianke was originally a Hehuang envoy, and now he lives in the Qing Dynasty, so he is afraid of being embarrassed by the imperial court."

The emperor had to settle for the second best and asked Zhang Jiuling: But is it okay to add a real title?

But Zhang Jiuling did not intend to give in at all, so he once again rejected the emperor: No, Your Majesty rewarded him with diligence, and gave him gold and silk; it is probably not appropriate to split the soil and seal it.

The emperor was so angry that he ignored Zhang Jiuling and turned to another prime minister, Li Linfu.

Li Linfu became much smarter and followed the emperor's wishes: A mortal guest is a prime minister, so why is there a minister of Shang? A scholar of Jiuling is not understanding the general.

The emperor was so happy that the next day, he mentioned to Zhang Jiuling that he had given Niu Xianke a true title. However, Zhang Jiuling was still stubborn and did not give the emperor face at all.

The emperor was furious and asked Zhang Jiuling angrily, "You have the final say in the court, right?" (It's all up to you?)

Therefore, at the dynasty meeting, the emperor issued an order regardless of Zhang Jiuling's objection and granted the title of the Cattle and Xianke Longxi County Duke, and the food was actually enfeoffed to 300 households.

Gao Mang looked at the secret letter and couldn't help but sigh. Li Linfu said it was right, Jiuling's scholar, but he didn't understand the general principles. Perhaps Zhang Jiuling did not realize that the price he had to pay for angering the emperor. If history develops in turn, Niu Xianke would replace Zhang Jiuling's position as prime minister soon.
