In the eighth imagination, as the prince of the country, Wang Zong's family should be extremely extravagant. But when I entered under the guidance of the family supervisor, I found that this mansion was big and large, and the decoration was the same as most of the houses in Xuanming: the paint on the door was old, and the servants and slaves were all wearing soapy clothes and brown clothes.

When waiting for the master to come to greet him at the middle gate, the eighth Jiao couldn't help but ask the fifth Lun in a low voice: Boyu, how is this place compared to the Changping Pavilion? ”

Fifth Lun Dao: "The Qiongcheng Marquis Mansion is extravagant, while the Gongchong Mansion is extremely simple." ”

But he had another sentence in his heart: "It's so frugal that it's a bit deliberate." ”

This also confirms what Yang Xiong told Wu Lun: Emperor Wang Mang had extremely strict control over the imperial clan, even to the point of being harsh.

When the Wang family was born in the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhengjun and the general Wang Feng were in power, and the history of the county and the state were all out of the gate of the Wang family.

Emperor Cheng also named several other uncles as marquis: Wang Tan as Ping'ahou, Wang Shang as Chengdu Hou, Wang Li as Hongyanghou, Wang Gen as Quyang Hou, and Wang Lianshi as Gao Pinghou. The world calls them the "Five Marquis".

The arrogance and lewdness of these five marquis are famous, and Chang An even sang "Song of the Five Marquis":

"At the beginning of the five marquis, Quyang was the most angry.

Bad is high, even outside Du.

The earth and mountains are gradually platformed, like the white tiger in the west. ”

These five guys compete for luxury, the most arrogant Quyang Hou Wanggen, the mansions he built are all imitation of the system of the Son of Heaven, the cave door is high, the pavilion is connected, and even belongs to Miwang. When Emperor Han Cheng went out of the palace, he found that Wang Gen's Tushan gradually Tai was taller than the White Tiger Hall in Weiyang Palace, and thought of Gu Yong, the henchman of the Wang family, and others, and dared to attack the emperor for being too extravagant**, which made Emperor Han Cheng extremely aggrieved.

Chengdu Hou Wangshang is not bad, he wants to escape the summer, and actually borrowed the Mingguang Palace (Ding'an Pavilion) opposite Xuanmingli from Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty to live. He also sent people to dig a big hole under the city wall, and led the foreign water to his home to gather into a pool, and held on to it, singing "Yue Ren Song" so unhappy.

As for Wang Li, the Marquis of Hongyang, he likes to hide treacherous outlaws, and most of the guests are group thieves, robbing houses and houses for him, while Si Li and Jing Zhao dare not ask for guilt.

The five marquis stirred up the Jingshi into a miasma, and the court of that meeting was as clear as Liu Xiang's generation, and the spearhead was aimed at the Wang family.

It wasn't until the Wang family came out of Wang Mang's outlier that he was simple, and after he took power, he began to deal with the family poison in a big way. The most disputable Hongyang Hou and Ping Ahou were convicted and forced to commit suicide, and the mansions that exceeded the specifications were nationalized.

The family style of the Wang family in Yuancheng has changed and has become a "conscientious relative", which is in stark contrast to the high-flying Ding and Fu of the Han Dynasty, and as a result, "the world misses the Wang family".

In the end, it became the Gongchong Mansion, which was a solitary and pure appearance.

Even if Wang Mang is not good, it is really good to be able to control his family, but Wu Lun said secretly: "But he can also restrain the descendants of the royal family, the Marquis of Qiongcheng Mansion is in the Changping Pavilion Luo Zhongqi, dancing Zheng Nu, advocating excellence, galloping dogs and horses, doing everything, and not seeing the five Wei Si order to manage." ”

"The decree is not out of Chang'an City!"

I think that the royal family is also somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Mang, the new Zen Dynasty, they don't get much benefit except for not being able to receive the false title of Shilu at all. If you think about it carefully, it is better to be a relative in the Han Dynasty.

In the foundation of Wang Mang's rule, the corner that should be the most resolute may also be a little unstable.

At this moment, the middle door of Gong Chonggong's mansion was wide open, and a prince wearing a distant travel crown, wearing a red yellow robe, and a face like a crown of jade walked out, which should be Wang Zong.

The identity gap is too big, and the two can only say: "The fifth Lun, the eighth Jiao, meet Gong Chonggong." ”

"Boyu, Ji Zheng, please get up."

He actually knew the words of the fifth and eighth corrections, and it seemed that he had done his homework in advance.

looked at each other, Wang Zong's age was about the same as the eighth correction, the new dynasty had not yet been crowned king, and Guogong was the top prince. However, Wang Zong behaved politely and virtuously, not only opened the middle door to greet him, but also made concessions to the fifth Lun and the eighth three times before he was welcomed into the hospital.

Fifth Lun noticed that he was wearing a goat's fur that only the poor wear, rather than a fox fur and mink, which was to set the saint to the end. The eighth correction also saw it in his eyes, and he also had a good impression of Wang Zong.

Behind the middle gate, there is also a purple-clothed and crowned minister standing with his hands in his hands, and it seems that there are more than them in the Wang Zong family today.

Wang Zong took the two of them over: "This is one of the 'four generals' of the imperial court, General Wei and Fengxin Gong. ”

Fifth Lun remembered that the mourning chapter that came to them to talk about the brainwashing of Zhiwei, in the book of Jin Kuitian that year, didn't two people make up, one is called Wang Xing, and the other is called Wang Sheng.

Wang Mang turned the fake into reality, and found the two names called by Chang'an City, and let the divination be counted one by one, and finally determined, Wang Sheng, a cake seller on Guanqian Street, and Wang Xing, a gatekeeper at the Gu Gate, became the lucky ones. Not only was he named the Duke of the Kingdom, but he was also selected as one of the eleventh important ministers of the Central Committee of the New Dynasty, and Wang Sheng became a general of Wei, but his job was still to guard the doorman - to take care of the bus Sima in the Shoucheng room.

Wang Sheng also married Wang Zong's sister, and after the two became relatives, the mansions were adjacent and they often corresponded.

Wang Zong introduced to Fengxin Gong again: "The fifth Boyu is a famous person at a young age, and his virtue is passed on to everyone. ”

By the way, even the eighth correction also praised: "As for Ji Zheng, he is also extraordinary, Yu Taixue raised the flag, and everyone gathered to respond, it is simply the king of the world." ”

He praised: "Confucius said, there must be faithfulness in the city of ten rooms. The two of you actually came out of the small Linqu Township, just like Luan Xiangfeng gathered in a tree, which is really rare. ”

"We are just ordinary horsemen, and the erector is just lucky to become famous, how dare we be praised by the public."

The fifth Lun didn't dare to do it, the more the other party was like this, the vigilance in his heart soared, but the eighth Jiao had never seen the world, and he was a little dizzy by these beautiful words.

Wang Sheng said the prepared words at the right time: "Could it be that Gong Chonggong painted it, and it is a matter of the two of them?" ”

Everyone followed Wang Zong to the courtyard, but saw several slaves and maids standing or kneeling, holding silk paintings in both hands.

"Gong Chong Gong is good at painting." Fengxin Gong Wang Sheng said: "The characters are all lifelike, and it is easy not to write, and you are fortunate to see it today." ”

A few people took a closer look, although they didn't understand much, but they could see that the two silk paintings were heavy and colorful, the outline was evenly and powerful, and the painting was very attentive.

One painting is an interior affair, with black ink outlining the image of two men, one of them, the top of his head is still a child's hair, tied with a handkerchief, is bending down to push the fruit in his hand, look at the color, is it a pear?

Fifth Lun immediately knew what Wang Zong wanted to do, and sure enough, the routine of buying people's hearts was still skilled by the old Wang family next door!

"This is Boyu Rang Litu." Wang Zongdao: "After hearing this story, the widow found it quite interesting, so he described it. ”

The eighth correction looked at the other one fixedly, a little excited, the scene was outdoors, there were a large number of people, and the protagonist occupied the central and upper positions, holding a flag in his hand, with a resolute expression.

"This is Ji Zheng's banner map, although tens of millions of people have gone to me, it is magnificent!"

Wang Zong asked the slave maid to present the two paintings: "The second gentleman came to my mansion for the first time, and I also saw that the mansion was pure, and there was nothing to give away, so the widow gave these two paintings to Bo Yu and Ji Zheng as gifts!" ”

"Thank you for your efforts." Fifth Lun was neither humble nor arrogant, and took it after a faint thanks.

But his attention was not all on Wang Zonghe's painting, but glanced at the maidservant who sent the painting.

In order to match the simple atmosphere of the house, their dresses were short enough to cover the knees, and the poles of their feet were exposed, and they knelt on the ground in the extremely cold weather, and their knees and ankles were frozen purple. For this scene carefully planned by Wang Zong, I don't know how long it has lasted, so the fifth Lun took over the painting so quickly.

Looking at the eighth correction again, the fifth Lun secretly said that it was not good.

The eighth Jiao had a complicated expression on his face, and he stopped talking, only bowed down to Wang Zong and paused three times, and then solemnly held the silk painting with both hands.

"Gong Chonggong, this is the heaviest gift I have ever received in my life, I must carefully treasure it and pass it on to my descendants!"

……

At the banquet, there was no joy of singing and dancing, Wang Zong ate simple corn rice and bean sauce, and saw that he chewed very hard, but there was fish and meat on the fifth and eighth cases.

The eighth Jiao asked why this was the case, Wang Zong sighed and said that he heard that there was another famine in Biansai, and the Son of Heaven in the palace had reduced his noodles and vegetables, how could he, as a grandson, eat Jiarou food?

Fengxin Duke Wang Sheng was a compliment, and immediately answered the call to praise Wang Zong's meritocracy and self-examination, and listened to the eighth nod frequently.

Fifth Lun has different hearts, mainly because he is too familiar with these roads, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, what are you talking to me about?

The eighth correction is the son of an ordinary small landlord, who has not been famous in the township since he was a child, and he is not very outstanding when he enters Taixue, until the day before yesterday in order to rescue the fifth Lun Huo, he was pushed to the forefront.

The scenery at the head of this tide is indeed very different from when it has been hidden under the waves to make small waves, and it has been praised a lot, and anyone has to be fluttering.

And Gong Chonggong's unique and clever gift of paintings, called the eighth cold hair straight upright, quite the ancient chivalrous winner of the sword named Ma Xiangyu feeling.

Coupled with Wang Zong's simple love for the people, which Wang Zong showed intentionally or unintentionally, the eighth correction had already broken his heart for Wang Zong, and loudly asked for the fish and meat on the desk to be replaced, and he also had to eat dry rice.

However, the fifth Lun kept going, and only smiled and said that he was hungry in the Wuwei Destiny Mansion.

Wang Zong only regarded the eighth correction as a bonus, and his main focus was still on recruiting the fifth Lun.

When everyone was full of food, seeing that it was almost brewing, Wang Zong gave him a look, and Wang Sheng, the new prince of Fengxin, asked about the fifth Lun about the selection of Lang officials.

It turned out that as newly promoted foreign ministers, they usually entered Beijing in October, and after two months of "training" to familiarize themselves with government decrees and laws and procedures, they had to be selected and transferred from December to January to decide where they would go in the future.

"Lang officials should be listed for lodging, out of slaughter for a hundred miles, as a foreign lang, generally removed as a county official, most people as a county officer, county lieutenant, rank 400 stone, for sergeant."

"Only the best can become the county governor and the prime minister of the country, with a rank of five hundred to six hundred."

Of course, there are very few who can be directly elected to the command of the four assistants, three dukes and nine qing, as the six hundred stone yuanshi. Even changed from the outer lang to the middle lang and the inner lang, entered the provincial ban, the lord was more persistent, guarded the palace gates, and rode as the emperor's attaché.

Wang Sheng nodded to the fifth Lun and said: "Tailang is prominent, and the rank of the official is also." Boyu is virtuous and talented, but he has left a case record in Wuwei Siming Mansion, but he is afraid that it will not be his turn to go to a good place, so he can only be a captain and a lieutenant, and he will condescend to others in the county, which is a pity. ”

Wu Lun shook his head and said: "If this is the case, then it is my destiny, after all, the copper seal ink ribbon is something outside the body, and I don't like it, and I don't worry about it." ”

"Don't be discouraged." Wang Zong said: "The right commander Kong Ren is a widowed brother-in-law, since Bo Yu was unjustly imprisoned, it cannot be regarded as a case record. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zong got up and came to the center of the hall, and sighed: "Speaking of which, the Principality of the Widow's Gongchong is far away in Xindu County, although the land is vast and rich, but it is always difficult to carry out education, and there is still a lack of a virtuous and famous minister. ”

Sure enough, Wang Zong is still far less moisturizing and silent than Wang Mang's recruitment, a little deliberate and eager, after all, he is only a young man in his early twenties, and he is not skilled in business.

He looked at the fifth Lun, determined to win: "If Boyu is willing, the widow can let people operate one or two, let you be selected and transferred as a meritorious minister, help the widow show good and persuade righteousness, prohibit adultery and punish evil, settle lawsuits and settle thieves, compassionate to the people and current affairs, and spread the way of saints!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Sheng slapped his palms and laughed at the right time, and asked Fifth Lun to agree quickly, the minister of the principality of six hundred stones, and the former team of the new capital of the land where Zilong Fei is today, this is definitely the choice of Wailang.

The eighth correction was also full of surprises, happy for the fifth Lun from the bottom of his heart, but there was also a little loneliness, and he hurriedly drank to cover it up.

Fifth Lun was also very happy, but not for anything else, but for ......

"It's finally here, the 'three words' I have been waiting for will be late, but I will never be absent!"

Fifth Lun got up to avoid the table, and when Wang Zong thought that he was going to bow his head and bow, Fifth Lun said.

"Meng Jun treats him well, and he should be repaid, but he is stupid and idle, and he has no intention of becoming famous for a long time.
