Chapter 9 Tao Kanxian Goes 3
Flying flowers and rain send the orchid boat, and the fine willow hangs the smoke to cover the painting building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Director Wang due to physical discomfort, did not go to the court for several days, for several days, he lay in the pavilion in the back garden during the day, half lying on the couch looking at the lake under the pavilion, listening to the singers playing. Now he doesn't manage much government affairs, and general affairs are handled by his son Wang Tian.
On this day, in the midst of singing and dancing, Wang Tiandu entered the pavilion to pay homage to his father, the music stopped abruptly, and Wang Dao asked what was the matter. Wang Tian said: "Jingzhou is on the table, Tao Kan has passed away. ”
When Director Wang heard this, all the remaining illnesses disappeared. He easily got up from the couch and waved to the servants, and the servants stepped back one by one. Wang Dao walked to the pavilion, the breeze carried the moisture of the lake water in front of him, and Wang Dao felt that his illness was all cured at once. He turned to Wang Tian and said, "Tao Kan, this old man, is almost eighty years old before he died, and this old guy has overwhelmed me in the past few years." ”
Wang Tian continued: "Yes, if it weren't for fighting him, it wouldn't have given Wang Fuzhi to the old military leader's family as a son-in-law. ”
"Don't say that," Director Wang waved his hand: "Xi Jian Sikong is a real celebrity. Tao Kan is an old military leader. He was angry with the entire Langya Wang clan because of Wang Dun's persecution of him. ”
Wang Tian replied: "But he sent all the seals and talismans of the Eight Prefectures to Yu Liang. ”
Director Wang said with a smile: "The so-called eight states are actually mainly Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, can Yu Liang eat all the two states of Jingjiang in one bite?" I don't think he has the ability! ”
Wang Tian said: "Before I came, I had already instructed several Shangshu lords that the position of Jiangzhou Assassin must not be awarded to Yu Liang. There is Jiangzhou between Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and whoever wins Jiangzhou will be able to crush the other party. ”
Director Wang said: "Let's recommend him to be the assassin of Jingzhou, almost all the guards in Jingzhou are Tao Kan's nephews, and Tao Kan's proud soldiers are all in Jingzhou." Yu Liang didn't know if he would sit on the powder cylinder in the process of taking over, how could he still have the ability to accept Jiangzhou again. After saying that, the two laughed.
After laughing, Wang Tian said again: "You haven't been to the court for ten days, Your Majesty has sent a message to come to the house to visit you in person, I'm afraid that you can't bear it, so I haven't dared to agree." ”
"I'm fine, I'm okay," Director Wang patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty can come any day, I want to feast Your Majesty in the inner hall." ”
Wang Tian asked: "The inner hall is like a family banquet, and it is the greatest respect for the guests. But the inner hall is too small, and the servants and the various departments have arrived, which is a bit crowded. ”
Director Wang smiled and said to Wang Tian, "Are those scholars qualified enough to come to our inner hall?" Just call Kong Tan, Zhuge Hui, and He Chong to accompany the wine. ”
When the emperor heard Wang Tian say, Wang Dao was waiting for him at home, and the next morning he led more than a dozen attendants to Wang Dao's mansion.
Sima Yan, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is just thirteen years old this year and is the third emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When he arrived at the palace, Wang Dao welcomed the emperor into the palace and bowed down, and Wang Dao did not have to kowtow to the emperor. But at this time, something surprising to the ministers happened, and the little emperor hurriedly bowed respectfully to Wang Dao.
Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty died at a young age. After Yu Liang became the minister of Gu Ming, he brought down all the uncles of the little emperor, which indirectly caused the Su Jun Rebellion, and the little emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Yu, died tragically in the Su Jun Rebellion. After Su Jun's rebellion, the five uncles of the little emperor were transferred out one after another because they had no face in Beijing. Now the little emperor has no powerful relatives around him. Everything depends on Wang Dao, as mentioned earlier, the edict to Wang Dao must first be written "panic, panic", only the courtiers write to the emperor to start like this. Now that Tao Kan, the strongman of the Western Domain, is dead again, no one in the inner court and the outer court can compete with Wang Dao, in this context, it can be understood that the little emperor bowed to Wang Dao. But the ministers did not understand.
Wang Dao led the way, the emperor led the ministers to the inner hall, Kong Tan followed the emperor in small steps, and said quietly: "When you arrive in the inner court, you may see Cao Shi (Wang Dao's wife), and you can't return the salute when you see her." ”
When the emperor arrived in the inner hall, sure enough, Cao led the ladies in the inner room to greet him at the door, and when he saw the emperor coming, he knelt together, but Cao did not kneel, but bowed with a cane. It stands to reason that the emperor only needs to say that he is flat, and if he shows cordiality, he will reach out and help him up, but the little emperor still bows deeply. The Cao family is not like Director Wang, he has never seen such a world, and he is so frightened that he is at a loss.
Director Wang stepped forward with a smile, invited the emperor into the house, and asked the Cao family to lead the family to withdraw. The emperor walked into the inner hall, followed by two palace maids with fans, and two little eunuchs, and then Kong Tan, Zhuge Hui, and He Chong walked in one after another, and the other attendants did not move outside the door, because they had been notified after entering the palace, and everyone else was arranged to have a banquet in the outer hall.
Director Wang's inner hall is indeed not big, but it is more than enough to entertain such a few people. The emperor sat in the center, Wang Dao and his son Wang Tian sat on one side, and Kong Tan, Zhuge Hui, and He Chong sat on the other side.
At this time, Wang Shu and Wang Meng walked in. The head of the Taiyuan Wang clan did not come in to drink, but was responsible for pouring wine for the emperor, standing behind the emperor, which was deliberately arranged by Wang Dao.
The Taiyuan Wang family, because Wang Jun was already arranging himself to ascend the throne as the emperor before he was defeated by Shile, the children of the Taiyuan Wang family who moved south were not reused by the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family. And in the hurry to the south, he didn't bring enough money and tribes, and his life was extremely embarrassing, but Wang Dao saw that they were also far away, and accepted Wang Shu and Wang Meng as his assistants.
At the banquet, the monarchs and ministers drank happily, and the little emperor began to be more restrained, and the stomach was more relaxed after two glasses of water and wine. He has always regarded Wang Dao as an elder (even his father also regarded Wang Dao as an elder back then), the emperor took a glass of wine and toasted Wang Dao, and said: "Jiangnan is so prosperous, it all depends on Wang Situ." ”
"Where, where." Wang Dao said as he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Shang Shu made Zhuge Hui stand up and said to the emperor: "Emperor Shengming, since the founding of Emperor Yuan, the country and the people have been peaceful, and Jingyang has been prosperous, all of which are the credit of Wang Xiangye, and I am also invited to give Xiangye a glass of wine." ”
The emperor shouted happily: "Good, good. ”
Hearing the emperor speak, Director Wang excitedly raised his glass and said, "Doctor Zhuge really compliments the old man. After that, he drank it all again.
Zhuge Hui hurriedly replied: "There is no word of praise, every successful decision of the country is behind the hard work of Xiangye." Brother Maohong can be described as perfect, a look for eternity! ”
Zhuge Hui and Director Wang are iron buddies, and they usually don't praise Director Wang like this. He saw that the little emperor was not only "respectful", but more "afraid", he knew that Wang Daosu had no ambition, and praising Wang Dao was intended to reconcile the relationship between the emperor and the emperor.
This Zhuge Hui is a great celebrity who is alive, and he is fascinated by the already proud Wang Dao. Director Wang was even more excited, so he said to Wang Shu, who was pouring wine for the emperor: "What do you think of what Dr. Zhuge said?" ”
Director Wang ingeniously asked Wang Meng and Wang Shu of the Taiyuan Wang clan to pour wine for the emperor and serve the emperor, just to promote the two in front of the emperor. Most of the children of the Langya Wang family in Director Wang's own family are the emperor's classmates, and they have long been familiar with the emperor. Wang Tian, the prince of the world, is the emperor's foreman and companion, like the little emperor's big class leader, whose status is higher than that of the companion and lower than that of the lecturer.
Wang Shu knew very well in his heart that Director Wang asked him to evaluate Zhuge Hui's words to give him a chance to behave in front of the emperor and show his familiar face. However, Wang Shu was very disgusted by Zhuge Hui's flattery, and did not sycophernate the wealth, but replied lightly: "When I founded the country, Wang Xiang's merits and efforts are second to none, but people are not sages, and they are not sages. ”
The little emperor was stunned for a moment, turned around and carefully explained a large number of Wang Shu, and everyone present was stunned.
Director Wang looked at it, raised his wine glass and punched Kongtan and said: "Who said that my Asshu did not react quickly, you see, Asshu has an opinion in his heart." ”
Everyone laughed happily.
Director Wang has a gentle personality and magnanimity, and he is really the prime minister's belly that can support the boat.
