Chapter 358 Wang Ge's Birthday Banquet
I can't think about it anymore. As soon as I recall the days I spent with Lou Duo, it seems that darkness and coldness came to my face... Growing up in such an environment, I still have an optimistic and positive nature... I have to say that Qin Waner is very attentive and effective in her education.
"Worry-free Princess."
Just out of the study, I heard a familiar voice. It was Feng Shaoyuan. She finally left him, but she didn't arrange any work for him. He is regarded as a guest in Lianxin Xiaozhu, but he takes the initiative to take on the responsibility of being a bodyguard.
"Young Wan, what's the matter?"
"Lord Lian Zhun just came and sent a bowl of medicinal porridge." With that, Feng Shaoyuan handed over a food box. Now he doesn't talk much, and people are more and more cold... just like Duan Nanfeng's temperament.
Yunshang smiled. Lian Zhun has been running here frequently these days. It was porridge and soup, and even gave her several maidservants. Originally, he said that he was sending Feng Shaoyuan to take over the work of "housekeeper". But now it is clear that he caught Lian Xin Xiaozhu's internal and external affairs... However, in this way, Feng Shaowan can't be a housekeeper, so he concentrates on guarding her side and strictly implements her instructions. For example, she closes the door of the study and says "Don't disturb", then no one will disturb you, and even Lian Jun can't... What's more Feng Shaoyuan also remembered that the last time Lian Zhun lied to him that Yunshang had returned to his house, he was particularly strict with Lian Zhun. He was not like others who had a natural fear of the Yulin Guard, and he was used to seeing Lian Zhun's "male pet" beside Yunshang. Therefore, many times he insisted that it was Yunshang who ordered, but Lian Zhun could not do anything about him... You can't think about him every time, can you? What's more, what he said was originally Yunshang's meaning.
Yunshang spent half a day and was a little hungry, but when he saw the bowl of medicinal porridge, he still frowned and said, "Forget it. I'll go there to eat Wang Ge's birthday tonight. You can quietly pour out this porridge for me."
Feng Shaoyuan nodded.
Yunshang smiled, and it felt good to have such an obedient person around her. Now she also has a little feeling about the Yulin Guard... It's just that Feng Shaowan didn't sell his loyalty to the country's Yulin Guard, and she didn't need anyone else to swear allegiance to her. After all, she still needs to find an opportunity to find one for Feng Shaowan. It's a good way out of fame.
Thinking of this, he went back to the bedroom to change his formal clothes, and came out to bring the prepared birthday gift to the Wang family.
When I went out, I saw a red shadow flashing on the other side of the small wing of Lianxin. She knew that it was the maidservant given to her by Lian Zhun. After thinking about it, she called them over and followed her to the Wang family. These maids are very eye-catching. They know that she doesn't like to serve others. Usually, as long as she is there, she doesn't go to the small building in the lotus heart. Usually, she just sweeps and waits for her permission to deliver tea and water - it hasn't changed much, but it does make her life much more comfortable.
Today, in addition to giving Wang Ge Lao's birthday, she also sends some gifts to Miss Wang and takes a few maids and women there. It's also more convenient to go in and out of the back hall.
Yunshang's clothes today can be regarded as careful. The black-blue five-grade robe, the jade silver ribbon, and the head is covered with a black rhinoceros crown; the very formal body makes her a little elegant, a little sharp, more heroic as jade, and elegant.
This dress, this respect, is to be shown to people.
Wang Ge's old name is Wang Ying. At the beginning of Lou Duo's usurpation of power, he was the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, a scholar of Wuying Hall, and entered the cabinet to prepare for government affairs. For 16 years, Lou Duo was in power for 16 years. With caution and the huge power of the family, he always sat firmly in the cabinet and wandered away from the wind and waves. After Lou Duo's death, he did not descend but rose, added a young master, entered Dr. Guanglu and Shangzhu Kingdom, and there was hidden With the resistance of Zhou Tairu, a university scholar, even when His Majesty the Emperor mentioned him, he had to be called "Wang Ge Lao".
However, the so-called court protest is just talking about the situation or some rumors. Anyone who is familiar with Wang Ge Lao knows that this Ge Lao has been used to being cautious all his life. If he can hide everything, he will hide. If he can't express his opinion, he will never say a word. He even deals with things and approves this chapter. The most commonly used is the four words: "Handle according to law". According to the law, what law? How to handle it? He handed it all over to the bottom. With merit, his instructions were correct. Yes, it was naturally the vegetarian meal of the human body below, which was worthy of the emperor's kindness.
However, although the old man did not bother much in the government, he has always been worried about family affairs - although the Wang family is a big family, there is no man in their room: the concubine is married like running water, the child is pregnant like running water, and only Miss Wang survived.
Poor Wang Ge got this daughter at the age of his fate. He is really a pearl in his palm. He has always wanted the stars not to be spoiled by the moon - if not, he can't be used to Miss Wang's boldly. Not to mention the ban on entering and leaving the palace, he also played a palace fight with His Majesty's "favorite minister"...
Today, it is said to be Wang Ge's birthday banquet. In fact, it is also the joy of Miss Wang; after today, when Miss Wang is 15 years old, she can go out of the cabinet as a bride.
Before Yunshang was invited to attend Wang Ge's birthday banquet, she actually received an invitation written by Miss Wang herself, inviting her to the house. Be sure to come to the back garden, saying that it was a private banquet and salute.
Yunshang thinks it's funny. Is it a demonstration that she did this? Not to mention that she is an adult. Feng Ziqi may not marry her; this kind of behavior alone is too disrespectful of etiquette; in the palace, she has taken her own medicine for herself, and now it is even more unheard of to invite a "man" to participate in the ceremony of her daughter. I didn't want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, I still took those maidservant. Lianxin Xiaozhu doesn't have a female concumen. It's okay to ask the maidservant to send some gifts.
The purpose of Yunshang is only at the birthday banquet of Wang Ge Lao in the front hall.
Although Wang Ying is famous for not taking care of things, her identity is there. Today is the 60th birthday. Which official, big or small, doesn't give this face? What's more, the rumor spread that Wang Ge is expected to be promoted to the head of state in his old age. In this way, only the Wang family's birthday banquet is not enough to squeeze in, and he can't come without receiving the invitation - except for one exception: the Yulin Guard is in command of the envoy Lian Zhun.
But he didn't come, because he was afraid it would affect the atmosphere of the banquet - Xie Damei stood here, and it would be beautiful. I'm afraid that the people attending the banquet will touch their necks from time to time to see if there are any assassins in the Yulin Guard who quietly lift their heads... Even if it's not so exaggerated, it will definitely scare other people's birthday banquet into a national silence.
Yunshang didn't come early. She gave a gift list and followed the guide to the seat given to her in the main hall. After seeing the salute with the officials around her in turn, she sat honestly, looking at her nose and heart. She looked so dignified - and a few months ago, a scholar of Zhou was at the birthday banquet. The image of wine. It's like two people.
This also makes some people around who have been watching her carefully and feel a little more worried. Compared with a few months ago, the non-commissioned officer of Zhou University is the first assistant, and his status has become more and more stable; this little marquis is also a saint. She turned into a worry-free princess. If Princess Wuyou goes to trouble with Zhou Dashi and others as before, they really don't know what to do.
But the world is unpredictable. If she doesn't provoke, will no one come to provoke her?
Not long after the birthday banquet began, someone came to provoke.
In the main hall, there are only two tables, all of which are senior officials such as Shangshu Shilang. Although Yunshang is very famous in the government and the opposition, she is only a top five-grade in terms of official titles. There is no additional official, no real position. She only hangs the position of Hunan's envoy, and it is still a military attache system. She can be arranged in the main hall. I really don't know whether it is caused by the "cabinet scholar" or her "emperor's favorite" reputation. .
The first provocative place is Guo Gonglin, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies. The mainstay that drew up the topic of "patriotism is better than love jade" in the imperial examination, and he is the best in the faction of Zhou University.
"Today, the Ministry of Household gave this chapter to Wu itching in the early morning! " On the corruption of officials in the Dafeng Dynasty, it was read aloud in the court that the corrupt officials were all changed! In my opinion, Your Majesty's face is also gloomy, and the good days of those villains are coming to an end! Princess Wuyou is such a lover of wine. Why did she drink so much today? Wang Ge's old life is so quiet. Are you scared in the early morning?
is finally here. Yun Shang raised her head and smiled and said, "Guo Shangshu said that. Today is a good day for Wang Ge. How can we not drink openly? It's better not to think about things like politics.
Her words have been very directly mocking Guo Shangshu for not knowing the current affairs, and it is a little strange to say this at the birthday banquet. However, Guo Shangshu is self-righteous and extremely contemptuous of Yunshang. Naturally, she thinks that she is indeed worried because of Wu Qi's chapter in the early morning. It is easy to catch a reason to ridicule her. Can you let it go?
"Princess Wuyou, it turns out that you are also timid," Guo Shangshu laughed. Before he took a few sips of wine, he was already arrogant. "Why don't you jump out and object in the early morning today? I think the other party is just a matter of giving, so even if you target him, you can't show your ability, right? Or do you know that the emperor is holy, you must be able to recognize the harm of greed this time, so you dare not be sharp?
Zhou Dashi's faction focused on eliminating corruption. At the beginning, he had no preparation. He directly raised it in the court. He was refuted by Yunshang and returned. Later, he realized that he knew that he had fought an unprepared battle, so he seized the reason of corruption and bribery in the imperial examination and was ready to make a storm on this. Who would have expected it? It is clear that the evidence is conclusive. It is necessary to beat a handful of people, including the left and right servants of the Ministry of Ceremonies, but when the net is collected, it is full of trouble, and all the evidence is burned. All I only know is that there are indeed people who bribes to buy questions, but they can't continue to investigate. At present, your majesty has not made a final determination on how to deal with it, but it must be that at most, a few officials who participated in the imperial examination will be exempted and quietly annihilate the traces of things - I'm afraid that in this case, Guo Gonglin and Guo Shangshu, who is the first sued, are not immune to be implicated.
