Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2842 Official Ecology

As the end of the new year draws near, the mansions of aristocratic families and royal relatives come and go with horses and horses, and the gates are bustling. New Year gifts from relatives and friends, colleagues from the court and China are constantly being sent to the mansion, and New Year gifts to other families are also shipped from the warehouse. It can be seen that the exchange of human feelings is a custom handed down for thousands of years, and there should be no negligence in the slightest.

Vehicles and horses rumbled in front of Zhao Guogong's mansion, and there was an endless stream of guests. Carloads of gifts were brought into the mansion. Although everyone in the government and the public felt that the grandson's family had long lost its former glory and power, they did not see the slightest decline in the family. color.

At least for now, Changsun Wuji is still honored as Tai Tuo and Zhao Guogong, and no one dares to be less sophisticated in the world.

……

Today the weather is cloudy and cold, the north wind is blowing, and there are snowflakes falling from time to time.

In front of the study door, two young officials stood with their heads bowed. In front of them, a servant of the eldest grandson's family had a protruding chest and a smile on his face, but there was no respect in his eyes. He said with a faint smile: "Good teacher two As you know, my Patriarch was very tired from receiving guests last night, and is currently checking the gift list in the study, and has no time to meet with you two."

One of the fair and emaciated officials cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao is tired, we feel the same, but before we came here, we were entrusted by His Royal Highness King Jin to ask to see Mr. Zhao, but we did not dare to fulfill our mission."

The servant of the eldest grandson's family still had a smile on his face, but his words were thousands of miles away: "His Royal Highness Jin naturally dare not disobey. But please understand the difficulty of my family's master, after all, there are ages and ages. The increase in physical strength is not as strong as in previous years. If everyone who came to see him had to meet him, it would be difficult for him. You two might as well leave a name card, and the old slave will pass it to the master. When he meets His Royal Highness King Jin, he will definitely meet His Royal Highness King Jin will definitely not blame you for explaining the reasons for the two dereliction of duty."

He has seen this kind of person a lot.

It's just that some children from small families, relying on chance or poor contacts, can enter the court and become an official, and rely on tricks to get close to prominent figures in the court. There is no loss in being invisible, anyway, It's a skinny face, and the New Year's ceremony is also shabby, but once it catches the eyes of a big shot, just stretch out a hand to carry it, and you can rise to the top.

As for raising the face of His Royal Highness King Jin...it is even more impossible to let him enter to seek an audience. If everyone under the banner of King Jin comes to visit, the Changsun family will treat him as a guest, so in the eyes of others, how can the Changsun family Didn't he become an existence attached to King Jin, who dared not disobey any order of King Jin?

The current situation is that the king of Jin must rely on the eldest grandson's family if he wants to fight for the crown, not that the eldest grandson's family has to fall without the king of Jin.

Even if this is the case, it must show the character of the eldest grandson's family...

This servant is the head of the eldest grandson's family, and he has worked under Changsun Wuji's hand for half his life. Although he has the inferior nature of looking at people with a dog's eyes, he is not as simple and mean as he shows. He is well aware of Changsun Wuji's consistent behavior style , deliberately made things difficult for the two young officials, in order to show that the eldest grandson's family is in a dominant position in the cooperation of King Jin.

The faces of the two young officials were ugly, but Changsun Wuji had a great reputation, but he didn't dare to offend him. Although it was embarrassing to be despised and taught a lesson by a servant, he could only endure it.

Qi Qi handed out the name card in his hand and said: "In this case, please hand over our name card to Zhao Guogong and let me know the details."

The servant did not say anything to ridicule, he respectfully accepted the invitation card, and said with a smile: "It must be."

The two young officials said: "Then we will take our leave for the time being, and we will visit you again when we have the opportunity."

The servant smiled and bowed: "Go slowly, both of you."

The two young officials turned around and walked out of the gate of Duke Zhao's Mansion under the leadership of two handymen. Standing on the street, they looked back at the tall gate and the four gilt characters of "Duke Zhao's Mansion" on the plaque. A surge of injustice surged.

It is also the age when you have great ambitions, and you want to show your ambitions with enthusiasm, but now you suffer such neglect, how can you not be angry?
The two turned around and boarded the carriage, lowered the curtain, and the white and thin official said angrily: "It's too much to bully! We came here under the order of His Highness, but we were turned away, and we couldn't even see each other! Zhao Guogong didn't just look down on me. We, why have you ever put His Highness in your eyes? Today's humiliation, I, Li Chao, will be engraved in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

The other person was relatively calm, frowning worriedly and said: "Looking at the posture of this servant, you can tell what kind of attitude Zhao Guogong has towards His Highness. Now His Highness has to rely on Zhao Guogong's power to fight for the reserve, but even if he wins a big victory in the future Following the great unification, one must also face Duke Zhao's domineering power, and it will be even more difficult if he wants to rule the world and hold the sun and the moon in his hands."

Li Chao said angrily: "So what? Your Highness is nothing more than hypocrisy at the moment. As long as he wins the reserve, he will be the ruler of the world. His eldest grandson Wuji mainly does not rebel, so he must be honest? We must help His Highness cut off his wings and take over the imperial power!"

The other person frowned, but didn't answer.

……

in the library.

The servant put two famous cards on the desk, and told the words of the two young officials and their intentions.

Changsun Wuji nodded slowly, and said calmly, "You did a good job."

Just as the servant thought, it must now be the dominant position in the cooperation between King Jin, otherwise, not to mention that there will be no way to obtain greater benefits in the future, it is just that if King Jin can't be suppressed in front of him, let him do his own thing. How can he win against the crown prince's succession?
Get close when it's time to be close, and don't neglect when it's time to give cold shoulder.

Picking up the two famous posts by hand, I unfolded them and took a look. I saw that one said Yuan Gongyu from Fule, Chen County, Tongshi Sheren, and the other said Li Chao, from Changle, Weizhou, who was the imperial censor. ...

"Okay, let's go down."

Very satisfied with the servant's behavior.

They are just the children of two small families, and their official ranks are not high. One is at the seventh rank and the other is at the eighth rank. It is very appropriate not to worry about offending the family behind them, but also to show their attitude to King Jin.

He casually threw the two name cards aside, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table.

There were footsteps at the door, and the third son, Sun Jun, and the fourth son, Wen Wen, walked in one after the other.

"I saw my father!"

The two bowed in unison to salute.

"Ah."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Here."

The two sat on the left and right under Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji put down the teacup and asked, "Aren't you two in charge of accepting the New Year gifts? Why did you come to Weifu's side?"

Changsun Wen's character was a bit frizzy, and he said angrily: "Father doesn't know something, Guan Long and these immortals are really deceiving people!"

Changsun Wuji's face turned dark...

Changsun Wen was taken aback. He knew he had said something wrong. His father, Changsun Wuji, was a member of Guan Long. Didn't he even scold him?

Hastily said: "In the past two days, I received the New Year's gifts with my three elder brothers. The whole family of Guan Long sent New Year's gifts over, and my son and third brother also gave gifts according to their respective weights. But these families just Sending the heirs of the family here, but not even seeing a letter of greeting from the Patriarch, doesn't it mean that I didn't take my grandson's family seriously?"

Changsun Jun also said: "That's true. These people have always relied on their father to show off their power. Now that his father has become estranged from His Majesty, he has started to break away from my family in various ways. It is really embarrassing."

The eldest grandson's family has always been the leader of Guanlong, which family is not rushing to curry favor?Fortunately, in order to fight for greater benefits for Guan Long, the relationship between Changsun Wuji and His Majesty Li Er has become alienated and each has suspicions. As a result, these Guanlong families are eager to keep a distance from the eldest grandson's family...

Even if there was such a thing as Changsun Huan, how could the Changsun family ever feel sorry for the nobles of Guanlong?Now the eldest grandson's family is fighting for Guan Long's interests, but the rest of the family is so detached, it's really chilling.

Changsun Wuji didn't take it seriously.

He spent most of his life in the imperial court, and he was used to seeing the clouds rise and fall, and the prosperity and decline, and he knew the truth of human feelings and self-interest at the expense of others. How could he get angry because of the deliberate alienation of the Guanlong nobles?

As long as he can support King Jin to win the reserve position, no matter how alienated those people are today, they will rush to curry favor in the future.

In the final analysis, Guan Long is of the same vein, and it is not something that anyone can alienate if they want to alienate...

He didn't care about it, but looked at Changsun Jun and said, "Go back and prepare. In the next year, you will go to the Western Regions instead of your father."

Changsun Jun was taken aback for a moment: "What's your father's order?"

Changsun Wuji picked up the teacup, paused, and said in a low voice, "Go to Damascus to send a letter..."
