The climate in the sixth year of Wanli is indeed very different from usual, this has entered the May day, and in previous years, you can feel the heat coming, but now it is good, but it is still very cool, as if it is the early spring. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, it is sad that the peasants who depend on the sky for food are worried, and it seems that they are about to enter the busy season of farming, but now it is good, but the seedlings in the fields are hardly moving. If it weren't for the timely rain in the capital in the past two days, which made the weather a little hotter than before, so that the wheat seedlings could grow, the people would have to run to the Dragon King Temple to please.

Such a situation naturally has also put a lot of pressure on many pro-people officials. If this year's harvest is not good and it cannot reach the amount stipulated in the examination law that has been promulgated for several years, not only will there be no hope of promotion, but even the current position may not be kept.

Of course, in the city of Beijing, there are only a few officials who care about the harvest of the people, and more people will only feel that the weather is really good, and it is much more comfortable than in previous years. Some dignitaries and dignitaries took this opportunity to enjoy this rare good climate, listen to the wind and watch the rain, and have a good time.

At this time, in the garden pavilion in his backyard, while cooking tea and enjoying the rain, while holding a book and reading the book, the emperor of the dynasty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Wei, looked so leisurely.

However, if someone approaches him closely, he will find that he seems to be leisurely, but at the moment his eyebrows are full of depression, and he is ostensibly reading, but he has not turned a page for a long time, obviously preoccupied.

In the eyes of others, this Wang Guozhang obviously does not know the blessing in the blessing, neither has to worry about survival, nor does he have to worry about state affairs, it is naturally a fairy-like day, so why worry? But Wang Wei was really worried, so worried that he couldn't sleep well for almost a few days.

Because he found that his identity was so strange that he could hardly find similar people in the entire city of Beijing, it was naturally difficult to have friends with whom he could correspond.

Someone wants to say that he, Wang Weinai, is the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven and the abbot of the country, that is, the emperor's relatives and relatives, so he can naturally associate with those princes and nobles who are also noble. But the fact is that it is not easy for Wang Wei to make friends with these people, because he does not have an identity that can be equal to him, and until today, he has not had a knighthood, let alone those who have been named princes, even talking to people who are generally named viscounts and barons by virtue of their ancestors, it seems to be inferior.

Then since he can't get along with these people, let's make friends with ordinary Beijing officials, but he still has the title of commander of the Jinyi Guard. But the fact is that in the eyes of ordinary officials in Beijing, he has only one identity - a foreign relative. Although the Ming Dynasty has never had a relative who brought disaster to the country and the people, officials have long formed a habit from history and have always stayed away from people of this status. And his identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard is even more annoying, after all, in the eyes of the officials, it is not a serious yamen.

Wang Wei hadn't read the story about bats being rejected by birds and beasts at the same time, otherwise he would have felt that he was the unlucky bat and had no place for himself in the two major circles in the capital.

And what made him even more annoying was that he couldn't enter the palace to complain to his daughter, that is, the current queen. Just because as far as he knows, since the wedding, the Son of Heaven is not too satisfied with this queen, and he has not had much contact with his daughter, which makes him even more afraid to put pressure on his daughter. As for his emperor's son-in-law, Wang Wei didn't dare to disturb it, so he could only bear all this silently alone, and try to change the current situation of being isolated by everyone.

But even if he lowered his body, some things still wouldn't change. For example, two days ago, when it was the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Wei sent invitations to many princes and dignitaries in Beijing, saying that he was the first time he came to the capital and wanted to meet with his predecessors or something.

But as a result, after a few days, he received polite refusals from many people, saying that he had agreed to someone else's banquet earlier and could not come to the meeting. This made his annual thoughts go down the drain.

Thinking of these, looking at the rain line that kept falling outside the pavilion, Wang Wei, who had not read a word for a long time holding a book in his hand, felt even more irritable, so he could only pick up the teacup next to him with hatred and swallow the half-cold tea in one gulp.

Just when Wang Guozhang put down the teacup with some hatred, Wang Gui, the housekeeper in the house, looked surprised, and ran over with a little scattered footsteps, not even caring about the rain that kept falling on his head, just running this way. Seeing his master from afar, he also shouted: "Master, what is the great joy......

Seeing that his slave was still as startled as when he was in his hometown, Wang Wei, who was already irritable, looked even more gloomy, and immediately reprimanded: "Look at what you look like and what kind of system you have become!" Aren't we the same as we used to be, can't we even do this bit of calm? It's no wonder that those dignitaries in the capital have never taken my Wang family seriously, just because of the appearance of the people in the house, my Wang family doesn't know how much lower than them! ”

Being reprimanded by the head of the kingdom like this, Wang Gui suddenly showed a look of self-blame, stood up and admitted his mistake: "It's a small one who lost an inch, and I ask the master to punish him." ”

"I'll make a note of it for the time being, but next time, I'll be punished together." After snorting, Wang Wei glanced at him and said, "Say, what is it that makes you look like this?" He really didn't believe that there was anything else that would be a happy event for him at this time.

Wang Gui took out an invitation card that had been in his arms to avoid being drenched in the rain, and held it in front of Wang Wei with both hands: "Master, this is an invitation sent by the old man of Zhang Ge, please have a banquet at the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow." ”

"Hmm...... Got it. Wang Wei subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to ask the other party to put down the invitation, but then, he understood the meaning of the other party's words, and his expression was stunned, and he took the invitation card that had just been carefully placed by Wang Gui, and asked anxiously: "Who do you say invited me to the banquet?" Which Zhang Ge is old? "Now there are two ministers surnamed Zhang in the cabinet, although Wang Guozhang ignores the government, he also knows this.

"When...... Of course, it's Zhang Shoufu, Zhang Ge is old, and he also wrote it on this post. Seeing that his master suddenly looked like this, Wang Gui was really a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly replied.

Wang Wei immediately opened the invitation, and after sweeping the contents, he went straight to the final signature. When he saw the three powerful Zhang Juzheng, he was stunned on the spot, and then there was a burst of excitement.

Zhang Juzheng, that is the first assistant of the dynasty, and now the most powerful person in the world. How many people hope to be able to enter his Zhang family's mansion but can't get it, and he actually hosts a banquet for himself today? This made Wang Guozhang, who had always been snubbed by the powerful and officials of the DPRK and China, feel extremely unreal, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was flattered.

As long as the news of Zhang Ge Lao inviting himself to a banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival this time spreads, his status in the officialdom of the capital will naturally be completely different. Those who ignored him in the past will definitely flock to him, and in the future, he will no longer have to worry about being left out in the cold for a long time, and he can only stay at home and do nothing......

After thinking about it so excitedly for a long time, Wang Wei suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Gui, who had been standing beside him, "What about the Zhang family who sent the invitation?" Go and get someone in, and I'm going to talk to him. By the way, let's take it from his mouth and see what Zhang Ge likes so that he won't be rude when he goes to the door tomorrow.

"This ......" Wang Gui's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he said with a worried face: "Master, after that person sent this invitation, he said goodbye and left." The little one wanted to ask him to stay, but they didn't listen to me......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? After hearing this, Wang Guozhang's expression, which was still quite excited, suddenly turned cold, and a thought that he had just ignored flashed out: "He expected me to go somewhere, and he didn't take me too seriously......"

According to the long-standing rules, the people who send the invitation always have to wait outside for a reply, otherwise if the invited person does not go, it will be difficult to do. Only when the other party is sure that the other party will not dare to refuse his invitation, the person who sent the invitation dares to do so. And this also shows the fact that the other party doesn't take the invitee too seriously, and feels that the other party does not dare to refuse his invitation.

And as the agitated mood cooled down, another thought also flashed out in Wang Wei's heart: "Why did Elder Zhang Ge suddenly invite me?" How can I have such an honor? Even those powerful and high-ranking officials could not be invited by him, so why did he invite me? Just because I'm the Queen's father? Or is it because I now have the official position of a commander in the brocade guard? When he thought of this, he unconsciously shuddered, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Although he is not involved in officialdom, Wang Wei's news is quite well-informed, and he has already heard that there is friction between Zhang Gelao and Jinyiwei. And it is said that Zhang Ge Lao has always had nothing to do with Yang Zhen, the commander of Jinyiwei, could it be that he found himself because of this?

Wang Wei is not a stupid person, he quickly figured out the reason, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct. In this way, he is entangled, should he go to this troubled water? Do you have what it takes to keep yourself safe after being exposed to this level of fighting?

For a while, Wang Guozhang fell into deep thoughts and trade-offs......
