"I think Yu Niang knows very well when Mr. Gao was old and handsome, now Mr. Gao is no longer there. Yu Niang thinks, what kind of help should I give him?"

Chen Xi mentioned Gao Chong with a bit of caution in his tone, because Yu Niang was the biggest unstable factor, and she seemed to have no secrets to Liu Daxia... If Liu Daxia knew that he had given advice to Gaoming City, Liu Daxia might be able to target him.

Chen Xi is now showing an attitude:

Even if Gao Chong insisted that I was the one who offered the advice, such a thing was nothing to say. In fact, relying on Zhang’s relatives was just a matter of mind and no one could tolerate random bites!

Yu Niang sighed softly: "Mr. Gao is considered the old friend of Lord Shen. If possible, I should help you properly. But I also know that he has always been inappropriate. Why would I make arrangements after he dropped out of Imperial College in the future?"

After hearing what Yu Niang said, Chen Xi was not sure whether Gao Chong had leaked the news.

No matter what, Chen Xi made up his mind, at least for Yu Niang, he would never admit that he had made suggestions to Gaoming City. In fact, it had nothing to do with whether he admitted it or not. Gaoming City is dead, and Liu Daxia owed him military merits. Even if it was exposed, it would only be worthy of the merits and demerits.

When he got home, Chen Xi thought about it. In fact, he was not at all wrong with the grandfather and grandson in Gaoming City.

Sometimes some people are silent about it. Chen Xi is thinking about Gao Chong's things. He never thought that as soon as he returned to his doorstep, he saw Gao Chong and two servants waiting outside, carrying the gift of visit in his hand.

Chen Xi got off the carriage and looked at Gao Chong. The first thing Gao Chong did when he came up was not to ask about his well-being, but to kneel down and kowtowed Chen Xi three times.

"What is Mr. Gao doing? I can't afford it." Chen Xi reached out to support him, but Gao Chong couldn't hold on.

Gao Chong, who was once arrogant, is now in such a miserable situation. I can only blame his grandfather for not being an honest official, but for causing trouble to his descendants... The impact of Gao Chong in Gao Mingcheng's death on Gao Chong was almost devastating.

"Mr. Shen, the student is desperate and has to come and ask for help."

Gao Chong knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "After the death of his ancestors, the Gao family has completely collapsed. Many old friends are strangers to their students, but the creditors come to their doors all day long..."

"Treasurer?"

Chen Xi looked at Gao Chong in surprise and thought to himself, did Gaoming City owe a lot of money before?

"yes."

Gao Chong choked and said, "When Hou Shouning and Jianchang Bo used the name of the family ancestor to borrow a lot of money. After the family ancestor passed away, the money was impossible to return. Even the land purchased in his hometown was sold to students, but it was not even enough to pay the interest..."

Chen Xi has a new understanding of the shamelessness of his relatives, Zhang brothers. No matter how powerful this kind of person is, it is best to stay away from him. Otherwise, he will definitely be in trouble if he stays with him for a long time. The grandson and grandson of Gaoming City are living examples. Chen Xi asked in confusion: "Does Gao think that he is rich and powerful, and can he help you pay off your debts?"

"Students have no intention of letting Lord Shen spend money. The students just want to tell the adults that the students' situation is worrying now. Maybe Lord Shen can help... take the students to visit Shouning Hou..."

Chen Xi suddenly realized that Gao Chong did not give up, or was unwilling to accept the Zhang brothers.

My grandfather respects all the property to you as a condition of surrender. You also privately used my grandfather’s name as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to borrow money from others. Now, when my grandfather died, you confiscated my property. Even my female relatives and I were detained for more than a month, enduring all kinds of inhuman abuse. It’s all but you are lying on your side. It’s obviously the money you borrowed, but you insisted on letting me, the Imperial College Supervisory Commissioner, repay it. Isn’t even talking about the basic relationship between master and servant?

Chenxi Road: "It's a pity that there is no friendship between me and the Hou of Shouning."

"ah!?"

Gao Chong looked up at Chen Xi in disbelief. He always thought that Chen Xi advocated Gaomingcheng to join the Zhang brothers because Chen Xi himself was also a member of the Zhang brothers.

In fact, the Zhang brothers' attitude towards Chen Xi has always been unclear, and even once put aside the consequences. The two sides could not talk about friendship. Even if they had friendship, it was just because of the bond of Prince Zhu Houzhao. Chen Xi was a lecturer in the East Palace, and the Zhang brothers were the prince's uncle, that's all.

"Young Master Gao, don't be surprised." Chen Xi explained, "I am a lecturer in the Eastern Palace and teaches the prince on weekdays. It is inevitable that I have an association with the Hou of Shouning, but I am not dependent on the Hou of Shouning. Besides, even if I plead with Hou of Shouning for you, Mr. Gao thinks that Hou of Shouning will give me face and pay off the debt for Mr. Gao?"

Gao Chong lowered his head again. He knew that the Zhang brothers had no intention of borrowing money since the beginning, but they just didn't give up.

Gao Chong hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "There are evidences of the corruption and abuse of power among the students. They were all secretly left by the ancestors of the family, saying that they were in case of emergency!"

Chen Xi shook his head: "What if Mr. Gao has evidence? Is there any complaint? Ministry of Justice? Dali Temple? Or to sue the emperor? Even if Your Majesty accepts your evidence, do you think that the Majesty, who has the factory guards in your hands, really doesn't know what Mr. Gao does on weekdays? I think Mr. Gao will cause a murder because of the evidence in his hands!"

Chen Xi had no obligation to remind Gao Chong that Gao Chong could only let him die, but if you think about it carefully, Gao Chong was at most a playboy, and there were not many evil deeds who really did evil... Gao Mingcheng had some kindness to be the head of the house to test the case. He was just a grandson, and it was a bit unfair to let Gao Chong die for nothing.

"Can the student hand over these evidences to Lord Shen for safekeeping?" Gao Chong asked in a earnest tone.

When Chen Xi heard Gao Chong's words, he was immediately alert... Gao Chong wouldn't be so careless, right?

How blindly Gao Chong should he follow himself by giving the key evidence that can prove that the Zhang brothers are corrupt and abused by the law to others for custody?

Let’s change the way, is this Yu Niang or Liu Daxia asking Gao Chong to act in a play to test his attitude towards the Zhang brothers to prove whether he is the same party as the Zhang brothers?

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Whether I defect to the Zhang brothers, or whether I have helped them do things, should have nothing to do with Liu Daxia! Even Liu Daxia has maintained a proper attitude in the case of grain theft. Now, let me, a Hanlin school official who has no real power, fight with the Zhang brothers, wouldn't it be that I would touch the stone with an egg?"

Immediately said, "I think that the evidence of Mr. Gao should be hidden. When it is appropriate, it may be effective. But it is definitely not now. Even if Mr. Gao wants to find someone to help, he should be a high-profile and virtuous official in the court, such as a senior official like Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu, rather than a minor official like me. Mr. Gao, if you have nothing to do, please come back!"

Chen Xi issued an order to expel guests.

He didn't want to talk too much with Gao Chong, because Gao Chong brought him great trouble and trouble. In such a turbulent autumn in the 14th year of Hongzhi, Chen Xi did not want to get involved in unnecessary whirlpool.

Although Gaoming City was raised up because of Chen Xi, it was also burdened by it, but Gaoming City's real fall was because he was corrupt and abused the law, and scrapped the land on the post of Henan Governor, which made the public resentment.

The Zhang brothers were extreme in their work and were inhumane. They did not know the murder case in their hands. If the emperor and the empress had not deliberately favored each other, this pair of greedy foreign relatives should have been imprisoned and questioned, rather than going through the three dynasties of Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing like in history, and were free and free for decades.

...

...

After Gao Chong left, Chen Xi thought to himself, what evidence could Gaoming City leave behind to defeat the Zhang brothers?

Although the Zhang brothers are not a secret, it is difficult to find evidence. If the Zhang brothers use the name of Gaoming City to raise debts to the outside world, the Zhang brothers can completely punish them and will never admit that the matter is related to them.

Chen Xi even felt that Gao Chong was not far from death.

Even if the Zhang brothers would let him go, those creditors would not let him go. They were a pauper and had a lot of wives and concubines to support him. Do you expect him to become an official in the future and pay off his debts slowly?

His salary may not even be enough to repay interest for the rest of his life!

Chen Xi suddenly understood why the Zhang brothers abandoned the chess piece of Gaoming City so happily, because as long as Gaoming City dies, the debts that had been borrowed before can be easily pushed to the dead, and the Zhang brothers made a lot of money in vain.

But in this way, can people who are lent to money or are under a debt in vain?

...

...

The next day, Chen Xi was telling Gao Chong when he was going to the Imperial College to find Xie Duo to borrow a book. Xie Duo thought about it and said, "You said Gao Chong is a good seedling in the Imperial College."

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly... Gao Chong is so capable now that he can actually get Xie Duo's appreciation!?

"Where does Master Xie start?" Chen Xi asked.

"Maybe the death of Minister Gao had a great impact on him. He was listed as the first class for the examination this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be able to graduate within two years. I heard that the court has assigned him a job and directly joined the position as a seventh-rank official. Among so many students in the Imperial College, it can be said that the prospects are the most optimistic..."

Chen Xi nodded, this matter is true!

If you have a new Jinshi, you can only get a seventh-rank candidate. Gao Chong graduated from Imperial College and was equal to the Jinshi, and you can immediately be given a lack of official position. This is a grace given by Emperor Hongzhi!

Chen Xidao: "Why do you want to thank the teacher? Gao Chong wants to graduate early in order to get a vacancies?"

"Don't know!"

Xie Duo shook his head, "I usually don't care about the situation of the student, but Mr. Gao accidentally lost money and food, and even if he died, he could not hide his mistakes. Your Majesty was lenient and leaving such shade for his grandson Gao Chong is an exception."

Xie Duo is reminding Chen Xi.

Emperor Hongzhi's kindness to the descendants of Gaoming City was indeed a bit too much. Even the descendants of those honorary ministers may not be able to receive the same grace as Gao Chong, not to mention that Gaoming City is still a sinner.

"Stop talking about Gao Chong. These days, I have not heard any criticism of you in the court. Instead, many officials praised you for your contribution to the prince's lectures, which shows that you have made great progress in dealing with people and things!" Xie Duo said with a smile.

Chen Xi sighed: "The prince is young and naughty. He can listen to the lectures with peace of mind, which is the best praise for his students!"

"Haha, what you said is straightforward, but it is precisely because the prince is playful and playful that you should strictly discipline him!" Xie Duo said, "But among so many lecturers in the East Palace, you are about the same age as the prince, and others think that you are expected in the future. Don't let Your Majesty down on you."

Chen Xi thought to himself, is it the emperor who has expectations of me, or you? Don’t impose your ideas on the emperor!

"But I have also heard that after you joined the Japanese lecturer, Your Majesty has never summoned you every day, so why is this happening?" Xie Duo asked.

Chen Xi nodded. It is true that he was a Japanese lecturer, but Emperor Hongzhi might think that listening to a young man's lecture was a bit too much, so he never asked him to participate as a lecturer during the imperial lectures and Japanese lectures in the palace. He only made an audit record in the middle, but did not let him speak.

Xie Duo sighed: "You should try more. Your Majesty is in his prime and is in good health. If you want to stand up, you must not wait for the prince to ascend the throne. If you can let Your Majesty see your talents, you will be expected to do something before the age of twenty!"
