In fact, Jiang Tian is very tired of this kind of so-called gathering among literati, it's not that he pretends to be noble or cynical, but he hates these guys who have nothing to drop their book bags and quote scriptures when they say a word, and they have to shake their heads when they drink flower wine. But this invitation made it difficult for him to refuse, Mo said that Liang Fan belonged to the role of a mouthpiece between him and the new officials, and because the other party had already explained in his words that this gathering was completely initiated by Long Laochen in the previous military system, and belonged to his own activities, which also announced in disguise that Jiang Tian was officially recognized as the imperial party. Although it is of little use for them to admit it or not, it shows that Jiang Tian has a very high weight in the hearts of this group of people, and it is difficult to recognize that he is the kind of leader-level figure second only to King Ji. Besides, Zhang Tao also mentioned Jiang Tian and asked him to communicate more with the ministers of the court, don't hide in the real room all day and night and don't come out, and people don't know if they sell it when they turn around.

"That being the case...... The official is not good at blowing your Yaxing, so I ask Lord Liang to tell you on my behalf, and say that the official will definitely go to the appointment tonight! ”

Agreeing to this entertainment, in fact, Jiang Tian also had some drums in his heart, and he could guess the intention of these people to suddenly invite him. Now, after a year of training, not only did he not fall as quickly as some people expected, but he became more and more stable in the new court, and his responsibilities expanded from pure scientific research to the fields of diplomacy and military industry. Zhang Tao also reminded him more than once that he wanted to establish his own political power in the coming purge. To put it bluntly, he wants to become the leader of the reformers, and then the court and the central government can be highly unified from the emperor to the ministers. However, Jiang Tian dislikes this role very much, for him, instead of wasting time on maintaining interpersonal relationships and consuming his mental energy on deceit, it is better to lead a team of excellent researchers to do a few more projects, so that China's science and technology can progress faster. So he has always been not very concerned about this kind of thing, so he has no experience in participating in this kind of banquet. The party was set in a certain flower street and willow alley after dinner, which is also one of the dross left by the previous dynasty, and it seems that the literati did not gather in the green building in the Ming Dynasty, even if it was out of touch with the times. Of course, this kind of nightclub-like place not only provides good service, but even provides VIP treatment similar to that of a high-end club. Even if you are shy but as long as you have some talents, you can also mix a familiar face here, maybe there is a vassal Fengya who dreams of knowing the talented Qing people, and staging a standard Ming Dynasty version of the West Chamber with him. Of course, these can only be regarded as alternative cases in the whole era, and in the vast majority of cases, you don't want to enter the door if you don't have enough money in your pocket.

To put it mildly, he Jiang Tian has also passed through more than a year, and he has also made a certain reputation in this era, but it is the first time to come to this kind of place to consume seriously, don't look at his house is the transformation of the former official workshop, and there are still a group of laid-off young women in the family, but every time he enters the Red Mansion, it is because of those few gentlemen who have something to discuss with him. There is no such thing as pleasure in the full sense of the word. So when he walked to the door of this green building, he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to speak or what rules were here. I knew I should have asked those former professionals at home, but if I really opened my mouth to ask them about these things, I guess it would be even harder to open my mouth than it is now. Although his face was embarrassed, but the turtle slave at the door looked at it and wondered, they had already found Jiang Tian wandering in front of his house, but no one was sure that he was here to consume, after all, Yi Honglou used to be too famous in these streets, Xinyue, Linglong and others pressed the sisters around them and couldn't raise their heads, it stands to reason that this master can't look down on his own small family, but the strange thing is that Jiang Tian didn't just pass by here today as usual, but turned around in front of the door? Although Jiang Tian's official position is not small, he has always maintained his original simple style, so it is not unusual for these people to come out without a follower. But look at his outfit again, he still wears a cotton shirt casually, with a three-seven-point hair that looks nondescript, even if everyone knows you, you don't need to be so close to the masses!

The old bustard who got the report didn't believe it at first, and the rumored Jiang Daguan, who had been squeezed dry by a few famous prostitutes, would come out to hunt wild food, and went out to take a look in disbelief, wasn't it Jiang Tian who was talking about cross talk in the teahouse! Looking at his hesitant appearance, the old woman who thought that she was used to seeing stinky men immediately made up a set of reasons in her heart, thinking that those famous characters thought that Tianzi and Guoshi had a lot of discipline at home, didn't this man eat in the bowl and look at the pot, if you dare to control him, he would dare to come outside, and he didn't spend money to buy a comfort......

It only took a few tenths of a second for the old bustard, who turned his face like a book, to put on a smiling face, and then twitched the lake-thick handkerchief in his hand and almost ran towards Jiang Tian: "Yo~!" I said why don't the magpies stop barking today, it turns out that the distinguished guests have arrived......"

As soon as she appeared, Jiang Tian instinctively got goosebumps, but he couldn't help it, so he had to squeeze out a little smile without smiling: "I'm here to ...... today."

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by the coquettish laughter of this half-old, and the voice was so disgusting that I almost vomited the dinner I had just eaten: "You are a distinguished guest that we can't invite, which of the girls in the garden is not waiting for you to enjoy your face, standing at the door can make us shine, today the old woman and I will be the master of the East, you must have fun......"

Not only was she talking, but she also unexpectedly grabbed Jiang Tian's arm and dragged him in, which was the same as the aunt who solicited customers in restaurants near long-distance stations in some small cities in the nineties. Or that this kind of work has a historical heritage. Of course, those who solicit customers for restaurants will never casually say that they are the east, but this old bustard knows in his heart, let alone say that he is the east, it doesn't matter if the best Qingqi person in the courtyard accompanies Jiang Tian to break his body today, just because Jiang Tian is not only a high and powerful person with this qualification, but at the same time, she has also become the first place in the capital to win Jiang Tian's favor, just this celebrity effect is how much silver can't buy, if the lord who is serving is happy, he will come a few more times in the future to leave one or two tunes, That's the golden sign that is hard to buy! Don't look at Jiang Tian also once patronized Yihong Mansion, but at that time, there was absolutely no one who entertained himself so warmly, so in the face of this kind of self-familiar way of soliciting customers, neither his previous life nor this life had no experience in dealing with it, and the only thing that was similar was the overly enthusiastic promoters in some shopping malls in later generations.

Just when he was at a loss, a person stood in front of him and laughed: "Mother Xu, come slowly, this Lord Jiang is a distinguished guest waiting for me, don't be entangled, and don't let the girls pack up and wait." ”

The old bustard named Mother Xu also knew that she was a little anxious, and grinned embarrassedly: "Yo, isn't this Lord Liang, the old body doesn't know that Lord Jiang is your honored guest, aren't I happy...... The two adults are invited to come in quickly, and the old man will go and call the girls......"

Seeing her enter the door with an agile appearance that did not match her body, Jiang Tian couldn't find the words to describe her current mood, if he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he really didn't know that he would have such a big reputation in the Qinglou world. Otherwise, he was just regarded as a Kaizi who didn't know how to do it.

"My lord has already arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins if I don't notice it for a while!" Turning his head to look at the person in front of him, in addition to the difference in gender and occupation, the smile on his face was actually compared to that of the old bustard who had just walked away. This made Jiang Tian sigh in his heart that the world was hot and cold.

"It's okay, I think I came too early, I'm afraid Mother Xu doesn't know that I have an appointment with you in advance."

Obviously disgusted in his heart, but he still walked into the door with Liang Fan and laughing, not for anything else but to unify the original imperial party, at least to let the other party not become a stumbling block on the road of reform in the future. This is a bit tongue-twisting, but it is undeniable that in addition to the generals who led the troops in these imperial parties, the vast majority of officials are still the original Confucians, so in the future reform, it is inevitable that the bottom line of these people will be touched, and if their own backyard is on fire at that time, wouldn't it be more troublesome than the enemy's counteroffensive? But fortunately, these people are still very much in awe of Zhang Tao's methods, and they don't dare to do anything deviant at present. But this does not mean that they are not interested in the prospect of reform, but it is difficult to get in touch with the real core content, because no one knows what kind of social structure is the most perfect in Zhang Tao's heart, so these people want to take the opportunity to win over Jiang Tian to find out some inside information, and Jiang Tian also happened to knock on the side drum to get close to the relationship, and the two sides hit it off.

Jiang Tian himself didn't know that in the Manchu Dynasty, although he had not been involved in the reform work from beginning to end, but his role had long been clearly seen, before the appearance of this young boy, although Zhang Tao always shouted for reform, but in addition to placing a large number of veterans in the north, the southern clan was not as fierce as it is now. It was completely after the birth of this emperor's junior brother, all kinds of reform orders emerged in endlessly, not only the previous six departments were split, this guy is in an important position in the new ministry, Pu Yi took office not only let the Dongying who had not obeyed the control for many years send envoys to the table, but also scavenged out the priceless collection of thousands of books from the other party, especially some out-of-print books that can only see a name from the history books for a long time, from this point of view he is a meritorious man, and the feeling of ordinary literati looking at Jiang Tian is difficult to describe with love and hate, It's just a matter of opinion. Walking into this green building, Jiang Tian noticed that this place was not as good as the original Yihong Mansion, whether it was the decoration specifications or the girls' plain zhì, it seemed to be a little inferior, but the news of his Jiang person's arrival still caused a lot of sensation, whether it was bought or sold, they were curious about how this man of the year suddenly set foot here. After seeing Liang Fan respectfully following him, many people seemed to understand something, but they all turned their heads and stopped paying attention to them.

After coming to a large room, Jiang Tian didn't have time to look here, he was surrounded by a group of people, there were familiar newspapers with their names, here can be said to be the gathering of personnel from various ministries and commissions, in addition to Liang Fan, who is now called the secretary general of the Ministry of National Defense, there are second- and third-line officials from the departments of agriculture, justice, civil affairs, finance and other departments, in addition to the Tai Hospital was reorganized into the Ministry of Health, the former Department of Education was changed to the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Industry was dismantled into two ministries of transportation and construction, and the three law divisions became the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Justice, Public security. Jinyiwei and the East and West No. 2 factories have been abandoned for a long time, and the Ministry of State Security directly under the royal family was established on the basis of the remaining personnel. The Ministry of Rites was reorganized into the Ministry of Education after gradually shrinking and separating the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Royal Academy of Sciences, with which Jiang Tian had the most dealings, was directly under the leadership of the cabinet and the emperor.

After everyone's noisy introduction, Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, it can be seen that the officials who came to the party today are indeed the top of the imperial party, and many of them are also in the rain of bullets, and their qualifications are much higher than they are not. Although they are still the second-in-command for some reasons, this does not prevent them from being able to enter the prime minister in the future, and there are also rumors on the rivers and lakes that Zhang Tao's unprecedented decentralization reform is actually to appease these old comrades-in-arms and let everyone have a good time. Of course, this statement itself is very shallow, but only Jiang Tian knows why it will be changed to this structure, in the future in the process of governing the country, affairs will inevitably become more and more complicated, which requires managers to have the corresponding professional knowledge and work ability, the original kind of county lord in charge of the county power will no longer exist. Of course, in the power structure of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the county order, he actually has a lot of positions in charge of specific affairs, such as county officials, canonical history and other auxiliary official positions, in reality, these petty officials can sometimes even blackmail the county order, but in terms of rules, the county is the largest, and the others are just eight grades or even not into the stream. However, now the organs of power have become relatively parallel county governments, public security bureaus, discipline inspection commissions, and courts, and the county ordinances that used to monopolize power are only one of these institutions, and the judicial adjudication power has also been handed over to the courts, so many people have smelled a different smell, and smart people know that this is a precursor to a great change in the world.

Therefore, it is reasonable for these people to invite Jiang Tian to a banquet, anyway, this sudden appearance of Lord Jiang is most likely to be one of the important promoters of these reforms, how can people who are still ignorant of government adjustment not find someone who understands and asks. But just after they were bored and had nothing to say to talk about Fengyue, and found their place to sit down, a figure suddenly came from outside the door, and an official had to get up again to greet him.

The person who came was not very old, and he was casually wearing a yellow shirt, but the domineering spirit of the superior in his gestures was fully revealed: "Everyone is really interested today!" ”

Jiang Tian saw that it was none other than Zhang Qian, the king of Ji, one of his bosses, so he had no choice but to quickly clasp his fists and salute like others.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, today's micro-service is just here to get together with an old friend, and I can't help but come over to have fun when I see you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to have fun when you see me, it's better to leave early!"

His two joking words naturally attracted a sound of flattery, regardless of whether he really came to see his friends, anyway, he didn't mean to sit down and chat, just when Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he saw King Ji, who was about to turn around and leave, said to him again: "Lord Jiang, although the work of the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very busy, why don't you come to this sect once or twice?" If you don't come, you're busy with the lonely king......"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Tian to reply, he laughed and turned around and left, and then he heard him seem to be talking to someone from a distance: "Today's account in the house is the one who counts the lonely king, you can't be lazy......

"Hiss......" Jiang Tian gasped in his heart, he suddenly realized that he had entered the Hongmen Banquet! Those officials who were still talking and laughing a moment ago, almost one-sidedly began to praise King Ji, some said that he was close to the people, some said that he was diligent in government, and some people touted his love for the people like a son, and they were even more moved by the inexplicable behavior of not pursuing Jiang Tian's long-term absenteeism, only to see Jiang Tian fall down in cold sweat, which is this a gathering between officials, it is clearly a show where King Ji came to buy people's hearts, he is a dignified prince, may he come to the brothel to meet friends? Even if Zhang Tao does not have an emperor's frame, the queen's background is known to the world, but the prince's visit to the kiln is still eye-catching, not to mention that he can meet the second-in-command of these ministries and commissions by coincidence. Besides, everyone knows that the Zongren Mansion doesn't even have a single official business for a month, and he mentioned that he is his subordinate in front of so many people, what is the meaning of this?

When these people were still inexplicably impressed by the appearance of King Ji, they saw that Xu's mother walked in with a smile like a flower, followed by more than a dozen young and gorgeous girls, and before she fully walked in the door, she heard her loud voice start shouting: "Yo...... I said that the magpie will not stop this morning, it turns out that the adults have brought blessings to the old body, not only this Jiang Lord cheered, even the prince of the thousand years old came, the old body did not say, today is the best girls in the garden have been found, the adults must be satisfied and return......"

As he spoke, the girls stood in a row, and then saluted everyone in unison: "Hello adults!" ”

Jiang Tian was still immersed in the whirlpool of conspiracy theories, and he didn't pay much attention to these flowers and butterflies that had just entered the door when he was puzzled. However, Xu's mother can be regarded as having seen the world, and knows that if the guests can't wipe off their face at this time, she should take the initiative to serve others: "I said Hongyun!" Why don't you sit down in front of Master Jiang, don't you always want to ask for music? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......"

"Yes, Mom." One of them, a girl who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, couldn't hide her excitement, her face was full of a shy smile, and she gently moved Jin Lian to Jiang Tian's face: "Hongyun has seen adults!" ”
