Daxianguan

Chapter 776
Chu Xian nodded. Li Ziwan was extremely intelligent. Although she didn't know much about official affairs, she could sometimes have unique insights.

So Chu Xian also made a decision, that is, to send out an invitation card to invite this servant of You Cheng to come to the banquet and participate in his concubine wedding banquet.

As long as this matter gets out, and Wang Shenling comes in person, it is tantamount to telling everyone that Wang Shenling and himself have reconciled, and it even gives people a feeling that they have formed an alliance.

And Chu Xian can be sure that as long as he invites himself, Wang Shenling will definitely come this time, because at that time, most of the officials in the Shoufu Pavilion will come, and Wang Shenling will show it to these people.

Since there is no deep hatred, it is convenient to be with others.

Because Chu Xian didn't want to compete for the Minister's Order in the past, Chu Xian perfectly avoided the open and secret fighting in the officialdom these days, and also witnessed this "fight" as a bystander.

It can be said that although this was a bloodless battle, it was actually quite a tragic battle.

The first is the handle.

It involves real interests and power, so at this time, even if the relationship is not bad on weekdays, it must be treated as a political enemy at this time.

Some people still maintain the idea of ​​a head-to-head confrontation, and the outcome is determined by strength, but some people don't think so, because as long as they dig out some opponent's bad deeds, or find out some things that can affect the opponent's reputation, Even if these things are not a big deal on weekdays, but at this critical moment, they become factors that can affect the balance.

Therefore, the whole Jingzhou has a weird atmosphere during this period of time, and everyone is on guard, but there is a place that is a paradise, and that is Chu Xian.

Today is the day when Chu Xian takes concubine.

As far as the common people are concerned, they don't even know about it, and they won't pay attention to such things that have nothing to do with their lives.

But in the officialdom, if Chu Xian took a concubine, that would be a 'big deal'.

As the first assistant cabinet-level immortal official, Zuo Shilang of the third rank is only slightly lower than the Shangshu of the Hubu. Since ancient times, the Zuo Shilang has half the title of Shangshu of the Hubu. His power and influence are above that of the right servant The superiors, especially Chu Xian, have led the reforms for more than three years, and the entire holy dynasties are flourishing. Officials are not fools, and they can all see Chu Xian's "potential". This kind of good opportunity, no one will let go.

It's just that Chu Xian did a good job in this matter.

That is, only a very small number of officials were invited. Except for officials from the Shoufu Pavilion, except Cui Huanzhi and Kong Qian who have a good relationship, Chu Xian declined all congratulatory gifts, so even if the officials below wanted to give gifts to curry favor, There is no way.

During these days, after inquiring everywhere, there are many people who want to stuff congratulatory gifts into the Chu Mansion, but most of them can only return disappointed. There is no way to refuse, but as long as it is possible to refuse, Chu Xian will not accept it, so as not to fall into the shoes of others.

As for the Chu Mansion's wedding banquet, there were so many officials trying to figure it out and squeeze their heads to participate. For this reason, even the servants in the Chu Mansion who were sweeping the floor became the targets of officials from all sides to "please".

Their purpose is very simple, to see if they can enter the Chu Mansion and participate in this wedding banquet.

Not to mention anything else, even just showing your face is a big deal. You must know that officials at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion will probably be present at a wedding banquet of this level. It will be so spectacular and high-handed at that time. , At this time, it is the easiest opportunity to get strong with the upper-level officials. For those below who are eager to get promoted, it is indeed difficult to resist this attraction.

The officials of the Chu Mansion have complained in private more than once, saying that as long as he goes out, he will be drawn into relationships by various people. The most exaggerated, these people are not necessarily just servants who handle affairs, some of them are officials directly. , I have seen a few sixth-rank officials insist on calling brothers and sisters with the officials of the Chu Mansion.

These are trivial matters. The Chu Mansion doesn't have many rules for its servants, but they have a bottom line, so they dare not violate it, let alone make mistakes because of petty gains.

So in the end, no one could really get into the wedding banquet.

Because there is a Small Universe Realm in the Chu Mansion, the wedding banquet is held in a poetic and picturesque valley. This is also an immortal method, and it is not something that ordinary Taoists can do.

Chu Xian's spells are far superior to those of Dao Immortals of the same level. Ordinary Dao Immortals can't create such a large Small Universe Realm. Even at the level of Fei Yu Immortal, few people can do it.

So after many guests came, they were all very surprised to see this huge Small Universe Realm. Even the immortal officials at the Shoufu Pavilion level are like this, and some others who are not yet in the realm of immortals can't help but feel awe .

Kong Qian looked at the world of heaven and earth, and said with emotion: "At my age, I have lived to be a dog."

Cui Huanzhi next to him seemed to have heard something, and also sighed, but he didn't speak, because compared to Kong Qian, Cui Huanzhi was the most emotional.

Back then when Chu Xian was just admitted to the list, he was the one who pulled him into the official career. At that time, Chu Xian was far behind him in ability, but now, even he can only look up to Chu Xian, It's the same whether it's cultivation base or official level.

But Cui Huanzhi had thought about it a long time ago, and he would not feel jealous, because it was like watching his own child grow up, only comfort and joy.

What's more, if Cui Huanzhi chooses between his own career and Chu Xian's career, he might choose the latter.

Because for today's Holy Dynasty, Chu Xian's official career is far more important than himself.

Kong Qian next to him said at this time: "Huanzhi, I heard that after attending Chu Xian's wedding banquet, you will go to Tianzhou Academy for further study tomorrow. Let me congratulate you first."

Cui Huanzhi smiled: "There is nothing to congratulate. I am also under great pressure to go to Tianzhou Academy this time. Now that I am at the peak of the Dharma Body Realm, the higher authorities assigned me to Tianzhou Academy. They must require me to bear the fruit of Taoism and become a Taoist immortal." , but just talking about some past examples, there are many people who have not become immortals in the same situation, and I am also afraid."

Kong Qian shook his head: "What are you afraid of? Others don't even have this opportunity. If you become a Daoist, it will be a matter of course for you to enter the Shoufu Pavilion in the future. If you do this as an official, you will not be in vain. It's a pity, I The old man does not have this blessing."

Cui Huanzhi knew that Kong Qian was laughing at himself, so he just laughed, but he already had a plan in mind about going to Tianzhou Academy.

Chu Xian also helped a lot here. It is said that Chu Xian has a very good relationship with Mr. Ouyang, the vice president of Tiantianzhou Academy. Moreover, Chu Xian secretly told Cui Huanzhi that his letters were definitely better than Grand Master Xiao Yu's.

Cui Huanzhi believed in this.

At this time, many immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion also showed up one by one. What is surprising is that these high-ranking officials of the Shoufu Pavilion only come here on weekdays at the Shoufu Pavilion-level meeting. Don't think about it, after all, the officials at the Shoufuge level are also divided into factions, and some may even be hostile to each other and fight each other because of different political opinions.

It was different from the time when Chu Xian married Li Ziwan. At that time, because Chu Xian was only a fifth-rank official, his influence was naturally not comparable to what it is now. There were not as many officials from the Shoufu Pavilion as today. It seems that today, except for Li Yuan Ming, Liu Jiwen and a few immortal officials did not come, but almost all the others came.

This is a big face, and it also shows from the side that Chu Xian's weight and influence today.

As the master, Chu Xian naturally wanted to welcome him, and he dared not neglect him.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked around at this time, and noticed that Chu Xian's Small Universe was extraordinary, and couldn't help but said: "I just observed, and I found that Chu Shilang's Small Universe is very unusual, it seems to be the same as the painting world. Refined together, fused with each other, indescribably harmonious."

Obviously, many immortal officials have already seen this point.

"Indeed, I think I am inferior to others in this skill, and I don't know how Chu Shilang developed this skill. I will have to ask him for advice someday." A servant also said at this time.

Not to mention them, even immortal officials at the level of Da Situ and Da Sima are also discussing the Small Universe in Chuxian Mansion.

At this time, Yang Zhenqing came.

Now Yang Zhenqing and Chu Xian can be regarded as "reconciliation". In the past few years, they have not confronted each other in court meetings. I chose to accept.

As far as Chu Xian is concerned, in his eyes, Yang Zhenqing is indeed worthy of being the Grand Master You, with a mind and vision, but sometimes he is too domineering.

There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in this world. Chu Xian and Yang Zhenqing perfectly interpreted this sentence.

As for General Jin Jia and General Jade, they would naturally come. At this moment, someone outside spread the news that Mr. Wang Shenling, the servant of You Cheng, had arrived.

Chu Xian had expected it a long time ago, so it was not surprising that he went to greet him in person.And from Wang Shenling's face, there was no trace of hostility or unhappiness with Chu Xian. He was very enthusiastic, and he also greeted other colleagues after he came.

There are no fools present here. You must know that just today, Li Yuanming officially submitted his resignation document, which was passed at the Shoufu Pavilion meeting. That is to say, starting today, the position of Shang Shuling is officially vacant. out.

If the seat is vacant, someone must fill it up, so everyone knows that the next fight and competition will be the most tragic.

Wang Shenling, as one of the competitors of Shang Shuling, suddenly showed his favor to Chu Xian, and even came to congratulate Chu Xian in person. The implication of this is already quite obvious.

What's interesting is that all the immortal officials who competed for the position of Shang Shuling came today.
