Chapter 190 If Walking on Thin Ice 20
Zhao Zhang's mansion is located on the left side of the royal palace, covering an area of 100 mu, and is located in the most central place in Handan.
Anyang Junfu covers an area of 100 mu and is magnificent. Although it is not as good as Fengyang Junfu, which is fond of pleasure, it is not far from each other. After Zhao Zhang was deposed, he naturally moved out of the palace to avoid suspicion. In order to compensate the eldest son, the master looked much more generous. Not only was he rewarded with a luxury house, but even the slaves and maids were selected from the palace. The mansion of Anyang Junhou was renovated again. In addition, the day before yesterday, the king of Zhao ordered the xian to bring a batch of ornaments in the palace, but now it is magnificent. Because of the master and Zhao Wang Shangjian, the palace looks much more shabby compared with it.
Zhao Xin and Zhao Zhang made an appointment for a dinner party, so he handed over the defense with Li Wei in the evening and ran to his father for a leave. During this period, Zhao She took the recruits out to practice in the field, and both of them were responsible for the defense of the palace.
He had already said hello to his father, so Zhao Xin did not go home, but changed into an ordinary samurai suit in the place where he rested in the palace, and went straight to Anyang Junfu.
When they came to Anyang Jun's mansion, they got off the horse and reported their names. Naturally, the soldiers greeted outside the door did not dare to neglect him and quickly introduced Zhao Xin into the house. In terms of time, Zhao Xin deliberately got it right. It was neither too early nor too late. It seemed that the relationship with Zhao Zhang was too close. If it was too late, it seemed a little rude, so he chose an almost time to go to the banquet.
Zhao Xin was relaxed along the way. Seeing that Anyang Junfu was really good, he looked at the layout of the house with a lot of leisure.
I saw a wide range of trees planted in the courtyard, which was unique, and the pavilions were all available, which seemed to be a rich family. It's just that An Yangjun was born in the army and was used to using his own soldiers as a bodyguard. Therefore, although there were enough maidservants and slaves in the house, there were also a large number of personal soldiers. From time to time, he saw soldiers in light armor patrolling, which seemed a little strange.
After a row of old trees, the main hall in Anyang Jun's mansion is behind the tree. On the columns and under the ridges of the eaves, there are illuminated lanterns. The lights are hidden in it. The roof is full of eaves, and the top is decorated with kissing beasts and tile-covered hooks dripping water, which is colorful and luxurious. The carved paint of the gate is very exquisite, and the curtains of the windows are deep, revealing a soft and hazy light.
The hall is already full of excitement. There is not only the sound of singing, dancing and wind music, but also the laughter of everyone, which came out through the bead curtain.
It seems that An Yangjun invited a lot of people this time and put a lot of thought into it.
Zhao Xin stepped into the hall with his head held high and took a rough look. He saw that the hall was full of more than 20 people, all of whom were important members of the court. He was talking and laughing with Zhao Zhang. It seemed that he was the latest.
Zhao Xin was quite surprised to see so many people. He didn't say anything at the moment. He just untied the sword and handed it to the servants beside him.
When Zhao Zhang saw Zhao Xin coming in, he stood up and greeted him, and Tian Fuli beside him also came out. Zhao Zhang smiled and said, "General Zhao came late. I still thought there was any unexpected delay, and I was about to send someone to pick you up."
Zhao Xin arched his hand and said with a smile, "I forgive you. I'm on duty today. I told my father for a leave before I was able to come to the banquet, but I didn't know that the adults came so early, but Zhao Xin was rude."
Zhao Zhang laughed and said proudly, "These adults are all old friends when I was the prince in the past, but I was too late to contact them. Today, I was able to return to Handan. Naturally, I have to be very close to you. I came to my house early. No wonder you.
Tian Bure, standing behind Zhao Zhang, interrupted with a smile and said, "What you said is very true. Besides, the general's military affairs are busy, and the master's guard relationship is Judas, so you can't blame the general." Then he stretched out his hand and said to Zhao Xin with a smile, "General, please follow me." He led Zhao Xin to his position and talked to him.
Zhao Xin was a little flustered by the two generals. Although the power and responsibilities of the position were the same as before, he was also a general. Being called "General Zhao" was indeed much more comfortable than "Zhao Duwei".
As the saying goes, he reaches out and doesn't hit a smiling person. Although Zhao Xin, who is not very interested in this Tian, is not polite, today he greets him with a smile. Zhao Xin is not easy to refute his face, but he replied to his words without saying a word, so as not to make the two too cold.
His eyes floated to a group of people in the hall, most of whom he knew, among which Sikong Wang Xu had the highest status. Wang Xufu was in the first place with a smile, second only to Zhao Zhang's main seat. A group of scholars and doctors also surrounded Zhao Zhang and him like stars holding the moon, just talking and laughing.
Sikong's position belongs to one of the three ministers. In addition to scattered officials such as left and right divisions and Zhu Guo in the State of Zhao, his status is second only to Xiangbang, Si Kou, who is in charge of criminal responsibility, and the big pedestrian in charge of etiquette, which is higher than the internal history. However, the theory of power refers to the weakest position among the three governors, which is far less important than the internal history of managing money, grain and grain.
Therefore, although Wang Xu is in a high position, he is not powerful. Most of them also keep a low profile in the court, a typical person who rides a wall and watches. Because they can't offend each other, and Sikong is not a bad job, neither the master nor the royal party have stared at him. I just didn't expect him to appear at Anyang Jun's dinner in a semi-open posture today, which is interesting.
It seems that Zhao Kui chose him as the target of the attack, which is not aimless. It must be that the royal party has assigned him to the master's party.
Zhao Xin didn't know that Wang Xu was a young prince in those years, but this young man was not Zhao He's, but Zhao Zhang's. You should know that Taifu and Shaofu are the teachers of the prince. They have the responsibility to teach the crown prince, and they are also popular candidates for each other in the future. Wang Xu was naturally proud to be this young man, but he never expected that he would have bad luck with Zhao Zhang soon. Not only did he not become Xiangbang, but he couldn't even be Shaofu.
Fortunately, the master has not forgotten him, and he is also a talented person, so he was transferred to the position of Sikong. Although the etiquette is as usual, he has completely blocked his way of rising. Therefore, Wang Xu was also disheartened. From then on, he no longer asked about the power in the court, but only guarded one mu and three cents of land in his Sikong Mansion.
It was just that the change of the situation was beyond his expectation. First, the master suddenly became estranged from the king, and the open and dark struggle in the court intensified. In addition, Zhao Zhang, the abandoned prince, returned to the court with the noble status of An Yangjun with the strong support of his master, and had the momentum to make a comeback, which made Wang Xu begin to re-examine the situation.
Whether emotionally or rationally, he is closer to Zhao Zhang. After all, the relationship between teachers and students is still there, not to mention that his status today is completely appreciated and promoted by his master. And most importantly, he has a blind worship for his father. In his mind, the strength of the master has penetrated into his heart, and no one can stop his decision.
So when Lou Huan handed over to him on behalf of his father, he did not hesitate to join the master's faction and became the highest person in the master's faction.
As for the doctors under Wang Xu, most of them are not high-class officials, and Zhao Xin only recognizes a few of them. It is thought that these people are all Zhao Xin's team in the court, the so-called members of the master's party.
Tian Bute took the initiative to have a conversation. Seeing that Zhao Xin had been lure to himself, he just looked at the people in the hall absent-mindedly. He didn't get angry. He just picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip. Then he didn't say anything more. He looked very self-restrained.
Zhao Xin was thinking about what was on his mind, and suddenly he heard a loud shout outside the hall; "Master Lou You is coming."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned and thought about why Lou Huan came. Looking at it, I saw Lou slowly's wide-mouthed Hufu, but his body was quite exquisite and different from the general simple Hufu. Although it looked like a traditional scholar and doctor's costume, it looked like a little Hufu.
There is also a reason for this. It turned out that after the master forcibly promoted the Hufu riding and shooting, he asked the scholars and doctors to wear Hufu to go to the court. Naturally, these scholars and doctors who were influenced by Zhou Li strongly opposed it, but they couldn't stand the strength of the master's father, so they used a compromise in disguise. Hufu is a short dress that is easy to ride a horse, so they shortened the cuffs of the original robe, and changed the skirt into trousers with two legs, but the width of the waist is still retained, so it looks like a Hufu, but the traces of the robe are extremely deep. Over time, it was very popular in the State of Zhao, and the master also turned a blind eye to it and did not criticize too much.
After the Lord's father's meditation, the court uniform, which had been banned for several years, quietly rose again. The scholar and doctor class took off the Hu clothes that led to this and changed into a robe and coat again. The rules set by the master father in those years were like a waste in the scholar and doctor class, and no one was willing to mention it anymore. The master's father is not a person who doesn't know how to change. At the beginning, he promoted Hu clothing and easy clothing, which was nothing more than to influence the customs of the State of Zhao from top to bottom. Now the purpose has been achieved. Most of the people are mainly light Hufu, so he does not force scholars and doctors to change into Hufu.
It's just that Lou Huan, as a close minister next to the master, will naturally lead by example, so dressing up like this has become an alien in today's hall.
Zhao's confidence was that he had no time to pay attention to his clothes and clothes. When he saw Lou slowly coming, he couldn't help feeling something strange in his heart.
It seems that there is a night banquet in Anyang Junfu today. It was a symbol of An Yangjun's return to the court. Now the people present are all his confidants of Zhao Zhang. The arrival of Lou Huan also shows the father's support for An Yangjun, which makes Anyang Jun's party's morale greatly boost.
Seeing that the building came slowly, the people in the hall naturally did not dare to neglect and went out one after another, led by Zhao Zhang.
Zhao Zhangyuan arched his hand and laughed, "It's really a great honor to be able to appreciate your face."
Lou slowly smiled and returned the salute to the doctors. Then he looked at Zhao Zhang and said, "You are so polite that it was Lou Huan who came abruptly. It's just that before passing by the house, I suddenly smelled the fragrance of wine. I heard that An Yangjun's love for wine is like life, and the wine he hides are the best in the wine. Today, the wine worm haunted me, so I came into the door with a shy face and asked for a few mouthfuls of water and wine.
