As soon as he heard that he could enter the palace immediately, Wanzhang was naturally very excited, and his mood that had been suppressed for a long time was about to move, seeing that the guest Wang Ning was leaving, he couldn't care about any etiquette in front of Xie Yan, and he didn't even say goodbye, so he quickly turned around and trotted all the way back to the room to make final preparations, leaving Xie Ergongzi, who was surprised and helpless, smiled, shook his head, and followed back to the room on the same road.

After talking about entering the palace for too long, it was finally in front of me and about to come true, when Wanzhang sat on the carriage heading to the palace gate, the whole person was fluttering as if in a dream, and then entered the first palace wall and stopped the car and walked into the palace, and saw the magnificent palace wall palace, I couldn't believe it, I just felt like stepping on the clouds, and finally came to the main hall Taiji Hall through the end gate and the cloud dragon gate, and saw the carved beams and paintings, the maids and palace people, and they were so shaky that they were not even willing to blink their eyes, delicate and majestic, busy and neat.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, I knew what the past life was like in this life, if I could give myself the opportunity to have such a luxurious palace one day, it would be worth it to become stupid from now on.

I just hated that when I couldn't find someone to exchange, someone seemed to be mentioning me on his side, Wan Zhangfang came back to his senses, looked sideways, and saw that it was Xie Yan who was quietly pulling himself with his hand under his sleeve, reminding himself not to be distracted.

Hurriedly put away the excessive envy and infatuation on his face, lowered his head, and did not forget to secretly glance at the two rows of maids on the side before, but it was strange, it was really laughing, laughing.

However, as soon as the mind returned, he immediately found that there was something strange about today's face to the saint, the name of the banquet was to wash the dust for Prime Minister Xie An and the eldest princess, although one was the head of the hundred officials, and the other was a relative of the emperor, but how should not meet the qualifications for the banquet in the Taiji Hall of the main hall, even if there was a banquet for hundreds of officials, and the name of the officials in the court was rewarded when the New Year was approaching, but everyone knew that this was just a casual additional excuse, the main reason was just to wash the dust, and even Sima Daofu was just a pretext, and the focus was just to wash the dust for the prime minister.

If it weren't for the emperor's love for talents, then someone must have done it intentionally, in order to let Xie An fall into the handle, and even to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and since he can say that the emperor can be moved, this person must also be a person with a very high status.

Before entering the court, he already felt that the court was sinister, Wanzhang lowered his head and bit his lip, it seems that it is really not so simple to have such a palace.

Shun Dan went up, several people in the palace bowed their heads and pushed open the door of the palace that was several people high, the eldest princess was advanced, Sima Daofu was dressed up to attend today, and the luxury and grace could not be forced, followed by Xie An and Xie Shi, who were in high positions, all of them were crowned with court clothes, wearing jade around their waists, and when they entered the court, the hall was full of brilliance.

At this moment, standing at the farthest point and looking at the palace, he saw the young monarch's five-color dragon pattern robe, and twelve crowns, but he was too young and energetic, and the king was not calm enough.

However, the Empress Dowager Chongde behind him is well-maintained, and her demeanor is dignified and more magnanimous against the backdrop of the gorgeous clothes.

The eldest princess has already bowed down to the court: "Princess Yuyao Sima Daofu see the queen mother, see the emperor." ”

Then Xie An and Xie Shi bowed down in the hall, and Wanzhang also quickly knelt down with them, shouting: "See the Queen Mother, see the Emperor." ”

Sima Yao was dressed in the style of a heavenly son, and his tone was slow and proud: "The prime minister's sister is exempt, please come to the table." ”

Everyone thanked each other again, Fang each sat down, Wanzhang was arranged next to Xie Yan, her reputation was only spread in a small area of Huiji at that time, and the dignitaries and nobles who had not seen her in the capital Jiankang were speculating with each other, but even if they had heard of her through various channels, they were always under the emperor's nose, in the magnificent Taiji Palace, not to mention that she was so inconspicuous in this banquet that she could not be more inconspicuous, and she did not dare to guess too loudly.

As soon as he sat down at the table, a voice sounded in the crowd, and Wan Zhang silently raised his head, only to see that he was sitting under the emperor, a very young man on the throne level, just like Sima Yao, and a young king.

There are indeed traces of Sima Yao between her eyebrows and eyes, and Wan Zhang is guessing, and Xie Yan has confirmed her thoughts.

"This is King Langya, Sima Daozi, the emperor's brother."

The extraordinary young man smiled with a smile, and his voice also flew with a very juvenile spirit, and his tone seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and it seemed to be careless, or childish words:

"Since the prime minister is here, you can hold a banquet, and you can also call up the song and dance, everyone can watch and chat, and the monarchs and ministers will have fun together, and they will not be restricted." took a sip of wine, relying on his identity and age, he said as he wanted, "The prime minister has always been dedicated to politics, and he doesn't take a leave for the New Year, why did he go home this Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

King Langya, even if he is a king, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he is just a king, and he can't afford it at all, but since he is a family, he always has a bit of grace. Although Xie An didn't get up, he replied respectfully: "It's just for the minister's family." ”

Sima Daozi said casually: "The prime minister's family affairs are state affairs, can you say that you can share a thing or two with everyone?" ”

When Wan Zhang heard this big disrespectful words, his heart trembled, but Xie An and Xie Shi still had the same complexion, looking at the Queen Mother and the emperor in the distance, they were also as usual, silent, as if they hadn't heard anything, Sima Yao drank wholeheartedly, and then he also let go of his heart, it seems that Sima Daozi, the king of Langya, has always been open-mouthed, and the officials and the emperor have been used to it, but they don't know ...... Did Sima Yao take his brother's words as a joke, or put them in his heart.

Xie An smiled and said frankly: "It's just that the dog is ignorant, he has the private feelings of his children in his heart, and he actually puts the political affairs behind, although it is also the family ethos of the minister to do whatever he wants, but if he misses the court, how can it be good, the minister has no choice but to go home in person, one is to persuade Ah Yan well, and he also wants to meet the woman who can make the minister's son reluctant to leave, what is it." ”

"So what's that?"

Sima Daozi held his head with one hand and asked again.

Xie An smiled heartily again, and pointed to Xie Yan's side: "Isn't this sitting next to the dog, if Miss Wanzhang doesn't come, I'm afraid the dog won't come again this time." ”

Wan Zhang was looking at Sima Daozi, seeing what kind of person he was, so young, and so difficult to see, when he suddenly felt the eyes of the whole table cast on him, as well as the two eyes on the high position, he instantly felt stunned, he really didn't expect Xie An to introduce himself to the emperor and hundreds of officials and nobles like this.

After being stunned, he quickly realized that Xie An still wanted to test himself, the last Xie family banquet was not enough, as he said, he wanted to see himself, what was it, what was so special.

It's a pity that I am going to disappoint Prime Minister Xie.

Indeed, the reason why she came to Jiankang and came to the palace was to keep climbing high and get to know the people above ten thousand people, but she still wanted to come according to her own arrangement and didn't need others to disrupt her plans.

Although Xie An recommended it, if he showed his talent along the road he gave him, it would definitely be the icing on the cake, but Wanzhang was deliberately clumsy. showed a panicked and cramped expression, and stammered without speaking on the stage:

"Prime Minister...... The prime minister laughed, and the people ...... The people's daughter, but her qualifications are mediocre, so that the Queen Mother and the adults can laugh......"

Xie Yan was worried about her father's excessive temptation of Yunzhang, for fear that she would not be able to get off the stage, but later she felt that she was thinking too much, knowing that she would always put away her edge first when she saw people, and then impress in one fell swoop after seeing it through, which was both labor-saving and twice the result with half the effort. Sure enough, seeing that Wanzhang only responded casually, it seemed ordinary, and compared with Xie An's words, it was quite disappointing.

Sure enough, everyone only hastily responded and praised a few words, probably laughing at Xie Yan in their hearts for how Xie Yan's vision was so poor, so they stopped paying attention to Wanzhang a little.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and finally he was able to continue to watch the banquet quietly, and then I happened to hear the high-ranking officials next to him talking about what King Langya is young, but he really knows how to respect the ministers, and he said to the emperor that the prime minister's dust-washing banquet was set up in the Taiji Palace, and Sima Daozi always seemed to deliberately separate Xie and Sima Yao's words, which made her more interested in him, this seemingly young and vigorous King Langya, it seems that it is not just as simple as it seems on the surface, he still has something hidden in his heart, through his words and deeds, I can always reveal some thoughts in my heart without concealment.

Among them, the most obvious is the joke or subtle ridicule of the Xie family, if it has always been attributed to the young man's open-mouthedness, then when he heard that this arrogant dust washing banquet was proposed by him, Wanzhang knew that he was obviously really afraid of Xie An and the Xie family. Others only regard the young spirit of King Langya, and they don't know that what he says is the truth, or they also know that Sima Daozi's exclusion of the Xie family is just for the balance of the court and the central government and cannot be broken, but they should not understand.

At least that's the case for Xie An and the entire Xie clan.

So, what about Sima Yao? What does he think? Or, whose words would he prefer to believe, the same brother or the Xie family?

Or maybe......

A more terrifying but more reasonable idea popped out of Wanzhang's mind, Sima Yao is the person who is most afraid of the Xie family, after all, he is the master of a country, the Xie family is highly meritorious, and what shakes his status is Sima Daozi is just one of his helpers, shaking the Xie family from time to time, so that they can understand who is the king and who is the minister.

finally understood Sima Daozi, and also understood the real situation of the Xie family and other family lords in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Not only do they have to resist the pressure of the DPRK and China's exclusion and jealousy of them, but they also have to maintain a century-old foundation that continues to flourish and cannot be lost in their own hands.

In contrast, she didn't care about Xie An's deliberate temptation just now, and even felt that it was understandable, but she was still worried about them.

At that time, the constant temperature dictatorship, the Eastern Jin Dynasty national fortune several times faced the situation of re-establishment, and then thanks to the Wang Xie clan to compete with it, after the death of constant temperature, the national fortune finally had no danger to pass, the Heng clan has also been in name only, and there is no past power, but Sima Yao has been fed up with the clan dictatorship since childhood, for fear that the Wang Xie and the two clans, especially Xie An, will become the next constant temperature, and now he is also full-fledged, and is bent on pulling out these thorns in the eye, a nail in the flesh, Wang Xie and the two families seem to be beautiful, but in fact they are in danger.

As for the thoughts of other people who can speak, Sima Daofu has no intention of politics, and he can't see the importance of the relationship between the monarch and the minister, as well as the Empress Dowager Chongde who is sitting beside Sima Yao, the position is still difficult to distinguish, the Empress Dowager Chongde has been listening to the government in Sima Yao for a few years when he first ascended the throne, but now he has been in power for many years, but it is still not difficult to see that she is a powerful royal lady, I heard that she almost contributed to the constant temperature generation power before Sima Yao ascended the throne, but she was opposed by the servant Wang Zhengse, and Sima Yao, who was the crown prince at that time, was able to successfully ascend the throne as the emperor. Maybe there was a reason for being forced by the power of the Heng clan back then, but as for her position now, it is difficult to see clearly, but it is probably like Sima Yao, who was fed up with the constant temperature dictatorship back then, and always wanted the royal power to be unified.

The dancing girls in the hall danced, the musicians played music, and the officials chatted freely, seemingly the monarch and the ministers were harmonious, and it was also seen that Sima Yao was still an emperor who loved to drink, but Wanzhang always felt that he was not afraid of the family headed by Wang Xie in his heart, and although Hengwen died, the Heng clan was still prosperous, and the court and China had already been divided into two factions, not to mention that there was also his brother Langya Wang Sima Daozi who provoked it, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty State Bureau, on the surface, was peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide was surging, and a huge change was brewing in the meantime.
