In the afternoon, the Taishi and the others were still discussing the matter of recruiting people from the idle scholars in the city, so they were naturally still in the palace, and when they heard the king beckoning, the three of them got up and came together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they came to the front hall of the king, they saw that the king was sitting on it, the prison guard was standing beside him, and on the other side stood a well-dressed young fat man.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Bian introduced Bai Wuxian to the three of them, Wang Sunman had known Bai Gui for a long time, but he had never seen the little son of the Bai family, this was the first time he saw it. And Bai Wuxian is obviously a good family education, and he has made a good salute to a few people in a proper manner, and children who know how to be polite have been likable since ancient times, so they naturally won unanimous praise from Taishi and others. Immediately after that, Jian Jia handed over the letter written by Bai Gui to a few people, and after the three of them passed it on, they looked at Bai Wuxian again, and they were all embarrassed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all read this Bai family's letter, what do you think?"

"Back to the king," the Taishi arched his hand and said, "The Bai clan's loyalty to my king is really embarrassing to us, my king has this loyal talent, and my Great Zhou revival is in sight!" ”

It seems that this Taishi is feeling guilty for his little prejudice against Bai Gui, but this is not the focus of Zhou Bian's concern, Zhou Bian is concerned about what Bai Gui suggests. "Taishi, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the people know the hearts of the people for a long time, what is the Bai family, it is too early to make a conclusion. However, this king called you not to discuss the loyalty of the Bai family, but to discuss the three suggestions of the Bai family, well, this third article coincides with this king, so there is no need to discuss it again. ”

"Oh, the old minister is stupid." Taishi quickly thought about it, "This matter of befriending the important ministers of Wei still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, my royal family is still a little difficult at present, and we should first establish a good relationship with Luoyang at the moment." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but shake his head, alas, people have no long-term worries, in fact, as early as Zhou Bian's plan, there was a plan to befriend the princes and important ministers of the world, but he couldn't find anyone to implement it, after all, the stall is big, and the requirements for people are also high, and they need to be loyal and have a certain ability, so they are currently focusing on cultivating Liu Qiu and Li Yuan and others. However, it is obvious that Taishi did not realize the importance of this matter, and it is necessary to rely on Bai Gui's financial resources and connections to bury relations in other countries.

Seeing that the king shook his head slightly, the Taishi couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, but he still retreated. But I heard the young master say with a little excitement, "My lord, in the old man's opinion, Bai Gui's suggestion is extremely useful to my royal family. Didn't we say in the morning that the recruitment of troops in Luoyang should be slowed down, but now it seems that there is no need for it. The old man agreed to Bai's suggestion and bribed the important ministers around Duke Zhou, and with them to talk, there would be no obstacle for the royal family to recruit troops outside Luoyang City. ”

This is in line with what he thought, Zhou Bian nodded and set his eyes on Taishi and Wang Sunman. Both of them nodded slightly after listening to the young master's words. Seeing that the opinions were unanimous, the matter was settled after some deliberation. The whole process of deliberation did not avoid the little fat man of the Bai family, which reflects the royal family's trust and attention to Bai Gui, and Bai Gui must be very grateful when he learns about it in the future.

After repeatedly telling that this matter was limited to a few people in the front hall, Zhou Bian sent away the Taishi and a few others, after all, bribery is extremely disgraceful, even Zhou Bian from later generations also blushed, but thinking that in the future, when he befriended the important ministers of various countries and needed to repeat many such things, Zhou Bian also looked down on a lot, bribery is only one of the means, as long as it is beneficial to the great cause of revival, why not do it with confidence.

After the Taishi and a few people left, only Zhou Bian and Bai Wuzhi were left in the room, and this little fat man still looked upright, which made Zhou Bian feel funny, and couldn't help but say, "No disease, there are ministers here, you should naturally put the rules, but now there are only you and I left, but you can be more comfortable." ”

"Back to my king, before I came, my father told me again and again, before the king's cross, you must be cautious and act according to the rules. Last time, the king condescended to the mansion, and the kid spoke casually, please forgive the king! Bai Wuxian replied respectfully.

The respectful appearance made Zhou Bian speechless, Bai Gui is okay with other things, but he is too strict in educating his descendants. Well, then, if the child is tired, it will always show its original form, so it's better to be lively and natural. So Zhou Bian made a move and took Bai Wuxian to wander around the palace.

Two days later, in the afternoon, in front of a newly renovated courtyard in the northern part of Luoyang City, the setting sun shone on the gate full of copper nails, Wang Sunman and several attendants solemnly knocked on the door a few times, and after waiting for a while, a doorman opened the door. Seeing that no one recognized him, he no longer opened the door, but cautiously asked, "Who are you and who are you looking for?" ”

Knowing that the door is difficult, Wang Sunman arched his hand with a smile and said, "A certain family is a guest from the east, and I ask to see your family Master Xin." Saying that, he secretly handed over a handful of copper coins hidden in his sleeves under the cover of long sleeves, and the man was slightly stunned, but he still took it, and glanced at a few people again, especially on the heavy objects held by the back entourage for a moment, and then nodded and said, "You guys are here later, and the little one will go and report to my master." ”

With a snap, the door of Xinfu was slammed shut, and the shocked Wang Sun frowned, but then he stretched out, and there was no trace of displeasure on his face. Wang Sunman came this time naturally to bribe the second son of the Xin family, a heavy minister of Zhou, and after the monarch and ministers discussed it that day, they suffered for two days, and Wang Sunman came to the door after collecting the gifts.

After a while, I heard footsteps coming from inside, it was still the doorman, who opened a crack in the door, and looked around vigilantly, just when Wang Sunman and a few others brushed the ashes on their bodies and were about to step in, the doorman suddenly said sternly and loudly, "A few of you stop, my master has no guests from the east, please go back!" ”

Without looking at Wang Sunman and the others stunned there, he snapped the door shut again. At this time, Wang Sunman could no longer keep the expression on his face unchanged, and couldn't help but reveal some disappointment, unwillingness, and even some anger. Alas, but the situation is like this, I can only come back another day or ask Bai Gui for help. Thinking of Wang Sunman, he shook his head, and several entourages with the same expression turned to leave.

This street is north-south, the street is a high gate compound, one by one, from the gate just now, this side is still a high courtyard wall, even with the Chengzhou palace must still be a lot more luxurious. Wang Sunman and the others walked a few steps south, and suddenly a person jumped out of a small alley on the left, startling Wang Sunman who was in deep thought. was about to open his mouth to scold, but found that it was the doorman.

I saw that this disciple changed his stern expression just now, bowed down, and said respectfully, "Childe, please forgive me!" There were many offenses before the gate, and it was really a last resort. My master has instructed to lead my son in through the back door here. So the little one hurried over, but luckily caught up. He wiped his sweat as he spoke.

Originally, he came with a low posture, so Wang Sunman quickly adjusted his expression and tone, and returned the salute, asking the head of the door to lead the way, several entourages hurriedly followed, and the group walked forward along the alley, and bent a few small alleys, the door stopped in front of a small door like an ordinary person, knocked a few times, and the people inside opened the door, the door smiled, and invited Wang Sunman and his party walked in.

After entering the door, I found that this was actually a door for people to enter and exit, a path zigzag to the depths, and there were some sundries such as wood piled up randomly beside the path, Wang Sunman couldn't help but squeeze his nose, but the door didn't find it, he had been leading the way in front of the side, and walked for a while, passing through several yards, and suddenly brightened up in front of him, and it was much cleaner, presumably this is where the masters live.

Sure enough, I heard a male middle school voice in front of me, "Doctor Man, the contemptible people have been waiting here for a while." There are more people outside the gate, so the aggrieved doctor walks through the back door, forgive me! ”

Knowing that this person in front of him is the second child of the Xin family, Xin Zhongli, the first celebrity in front of Zhou Gong in the future, has seen many times in front of Zhou Gong in the court, but it is the first time to visit him in private, but Wang Sunman is also a delicate person, patted his sleeve at the moment, returned the salute, and said that it should be like this, so he went into the house with the master's hand and went to talk about it.

When the night was already thick, the city of Luoyang was full of lights, and the back door of a courtyard in the residence of the nobles in the north of the city suddenly opened, first a subordinate leaned out and looked around, and then saw a robed man swaying slightly and walked out, followed by several empty-handed followers. Waving his hand at the subordinate, Wang Sunman and his party walked towards the south of the city, this time it was Luoyang who came from Zhou Gong, so it was natural to live in the natural house at night.

The summer night is still very cool, the majestic wind is blowing, Wang Sunman, who has just drunk a little wine, only feels that his steps are extraordinarily brisk, and he didn't think that it was really as Bai Gui said, looking at the sanctimonious doctor Xin above the court, he actually saw the money in private, and as soon as the gift came out, this guy agreed to the royal family's request without a mouth, isn't it just to say good things for the royal family in front of the Duke of Zhou, and the royal family just wants to recruit two hundred people in Luoyang, the royal family is already very poor, and it is a big deal to recruit some people, under the offensive of a few small bronzes and a few pieces of jade, Dr. Xin soon scolded Dr. Ning Yue Ning for coming. But fortunately, the two chatted, so Wang Sunman was left behind by the hospitable Dr. Xin, drank a small wine, and almost called him a brother. After walking out of the Xin Mansion, Wang Sunman couldn't help but show a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, although this gift cost a lot of money, but the king thought that the value was worth it, so the night in Luoyang City looked very comfortable in the eyes of Doctor Man, maybe I will soon be able to have a mansion of my own in this prosperous Luoyang City, Wang Sunman couldn't help but look forward to it.

But then he remembered that he had other tasks in Luoyang, so Wang Sunman, who had been lazy for a while, quickly returned to normal, and walked towards the natural residence at a faster pace, he had to rest early today, and he had to visit Tu tomorrow morning.
