Chapter 135: The Great Meeting

Mrs. Liu is very arrogant. Arrogant people often like flattery, and this flattery, as soon as it is praised, and then shot at the critical moment, the relationship between Yang Hongcai and Mrs. Liu will get better.

After coming and going, the two gradually became friends and often went shopping together.

Feng Manlou said that the time is basically ripe now. Yang Hongcai said that your idea is really good. Feng Manlou was gloomy, remembering his work in his previous life, a real estate salesperson, these skills were all used at that time.

On the evening of the 27th day of the lunar month, the official family summoned Feng Manlou again and inquired about the progress of the investigation.

It's just that there is still Wang Rong's matter, which is being investigated. The official nodded and said that he must hurry.

The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, daytime. On the day of the ascension of the king of the stove, on this day the king of the stove ascended to heaven, so Mrs. Liu made an appointment with Yang Hongcai, and after today, Mrs. Liu will not have so much time.

Because I want to participate in the banquet held by the queen on the first day of the first month with other ladies. Therefore, Mrs. Liu cherishes this day very much.

After the two finished visiting the rouge gouache shop, Yang Hongcai invited Mrs. Liu to the restaurant for a snack.

In Mrs. Liu's serious situation, Yang Hongcai is a very good person, and Feng Manlou's reputation is outside, Mrs. Liu is immediately very interested in Yang Hongcai's family.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu asked: "Sister, if there is anything wrong with your husband, just ask, my old king can help, he will definitely help!" ”

Yang Hongcai smiled and said, "Madam, the little girl just respects Madame very much, but she doesn't ask for anything else!" ”

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in her heart! But Yang Hongcai said: "Although my husband has been transferred to the capital, he has not yet been appointed to an official position. This trick to being an official, he only knows one out of seven tricks, it's really embarrassing! ”

Mrs. Liu said, it seems that your husband is very smart and clever, but this is the only thing missing.

Yang Hongcai hurriedly explained that he just didn't know anything.

made Mrs. Liu tremble, and the powder on her face floated out like the dust of a lime mine.

"Speaking of this trick to being an official. Of course, in addition to currying favor with the officials, we must also curry favor with the ministers! Mrs. Liu was so happy that she actually began to speak.

Where does Yang Hongcai understand? Naturally, I had to consult Mrs. Liu. When Mrs. Liu said this, of course, she didn't hide it, but said: "This is not simple, being an official in the court, if you don't come to annoy the official family, my old king does not have this, and your husband is also very respected by the official." However, the second has to build a good relationship with his colleagues. My old king. It's just that he has a good relationship with Lu Xiang. And most importantly. The officials, princes, and prime ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, do you know whose words are the most effective? Who has the most power? Who is the most connected? ”

Of course, there is nothing to say, it must be King Wei. Otherwise, he would not be able to wrestle with the official family in the court and compete for the position of the prince.

Yang Hongcai didn't think so, but said, it must be Zhao Xiang. Zhao Xiang is the phase twice, and naturally meets these conditions.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "That's not the case! Zhao Xiang is admittedly the prime minister, but in terms of power and status, Zhao Xiang is compared with the King of Wei. But it's far from it! ”

Yang Hongcai smiled and said deliberately: "Could it be that General Wang is very highly valued by the King of Wei?" There is a mystery in this, let my husband also learn it! ”

Mrs. Liu began to show off, and of course, this show is the most worthy of being shown. Therefore. Wang Rong's secret was revealed in this way.

Since it's a secret, of course it's something that no one knows. But I heard Mrs. Liu say: "Actually, His Royal Highness King Wei has valued our old king for a long time. As early as when the official family ascended the throne and began to pay attention to my old king, the king of Wei corresponded with my old king. ”

It seems that this Wang Rong and King Wei have been in contact for a long time. But I heard Mrs. Liu continue.

Later, there were bandits in Dizhou who were very fierce, and the local Xiang army could not arrest them, and the official family was about to send people to exterminate them. It was also luck, and many of the imperial governors at that time were willing to go. Although this bandit made a lot of trouble, it was impossible for a bandit to send the generals and generalissimos of the imperial court to go to conquer. Therefore, what the officials are interested in is the commander in front of the palace, or the generals in front of the palace.

At this time, King Wei asked Lu Xiang to nominate our old king! At this time, the effect of this relationship is revealed. Mrs. Liu said proudly.

And then? Yang Hongcai asked.

Later, of course, Lao Wang successfully exterminated the bandits, which was a meritorious service. When he returned to the capital, His Royal Highness King Wei personally greeted him ten miles away, and went directly to King Wei's mansion. The king of Wei also personally set up a banquet to wash the dust.

Yang Hongcai said with envy: "This King of Wei is so good to people, my husband doesn't have this blessing." It's just that General Wang owes this favor, but he has to pay it back! ”

Mrs. Liu looked proud and said: "Of course, being able to repay the favor of King Wei means that our old king has the ability." Later, less than two years later, this opportunity to return the favor came. ”

In that year, there happened to be a lack of palace maids in the palace, so the official family asked Lao Wang to recruit palace maids to enter the palace. It happened that Yan Mi, the Confucian official of the Wei Palace, found Lao Wang and said that the Wei Palace's palace also lacked palace maids.

So, there was only a quota of fifty palace maids, but Lao Wang selected a full hundred, and immediately handed over fifty to Yan Mi and asked him to take them back to the palace.

Later, he also helped King Wei do a lot of things, and the relationship was naturally getting better and better. Mrs. Liu said.

Since a lot of things have been done, there must be something to talk about, and sure enough, Mrs. Liu said that not long ago, Yan Mi found Lao Wang again.

It is said that the official family may be sick and bedridden during this time, and may even be seriously ill and incurable, and the day of collapse is just around the corner. Q: Is Lao Wang willing to be like Wang Jien back then?

Mrs. Liu said: "I am a woman, and I don't know what it means to be like Wang Ji'en back then, but I heard Lao Wang say that King Wei is kind to him and will never treat him badly!" At the beginning, Wang Jien took King Jin into the palace, and only then did he have the current official family. When I take over the King of Wei, when I become an official, I will not be treated badly! ”

When Yang Hongcai heard this, she immediately covered her mouth, and Mrs. Liu suddenly came to her senses, knowing that she had lost her words, and hurriedly shut up. This is a great sin of rebellion!

Since then, Mrs. Liu has not dared to communicate with Yang Hongcai again. Yang Hongcai's purpose has basically been achieved.

On the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Feng Manlou came to the outside of the palace to ask for a meeting. As soon as the official family heard that it was Feng Manlou, they immediately summoned him.

So, Feng Manlou will say what Mrs. Liu said. Regarding the relationship between Wang Rong and King Wei, the original version is on the music. The official was so angry that he threw the cup on the desk on the ground.

On the first day of the first month of the seventh year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting. The Great Pilgrimage Festival is a grand ceremony. Feng Manlou has the honor to participate today, which is actually a year-end celebration of the Great Song Dynasty.

The grand ceremony was held in the Daqing Palace, first Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong. The prince and the teacher, the prince, the prince, the protector. Heir King. The king of the county, the left and right servants, the prince and the young master, the young master, the young guard and other officials, all gathered together. Stand at the head of the class.

These officials, who do not usually go to the court, have also come now, and in terms of grade, they are all high-ranking officials in official residences. Approaching, it is the governor of the capital, the protector of the capital, the doctor of the imperial history, the six books, and the constant attendant. Under the door, the Chinese scholar waiter, the prince's guest, Taichang, Zong Zhengqing, the imperial history of Zhongcheng, the left and right counselors. In the matter, the middle scholar is the people, the left and right, the servants of the line, the secretary and the supervisor, Guanglu, the guard, the servant, Dali, Honglu, Sinog, the secretary of the Taifu, the son of the country sacrifices wine, the palace, the Shaofu, the will be the supervisor, etc.

There are many other officials, too many to count.

Feng Manlou is on the steps outside the Daqing Palace, and there is a place. Looking up, the hall was already crowded with people, and I thought that if I could squeeze into this hall one day, I am afraid that without three or five years of effort, it would never be possible.

On this day, the officials all wore court clothes, which were more formal and solemn than the official clothes on weekdays.

First, the emperor and empress received the congratulations of the civil and military ministers in the main hall, and then a series of rewards. However, it is very surprising that some of this year's rewards are added to the Taishi, Taibao, Young Master, etc., and some are directly rewarded with money and the like. However, the list omitted some people, among them, Wang Renzhan, the third envoy, Wang Rong, the head of the imperial horse infantry army, and some of the people who made the most trouble at the beginning.

This has to be reverie. And this year, the only foreign official who was rewarded in court was the former Yuhang Zhixian Fengmanlou, who was promoted to Tianzhang Pavilion to be systematized, and he was already one step away from the bachelor, and he had only entered the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty for half a year, which suddenly made the ministers in an uproar.

Tianzhang Pavilion and Zhishi Hall are at the same level, which makes Hu Dan and Dong Yan very jealous, they have worked hard for three or four years to mix this position, this wind is full of buildings, and it only took half a year to catch up. This speed is ten times the speed of his promotion.

In addition, it is directly appointed, appointed as a member of the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Water is a chief envoy, not a deputy envoy, and most importantly, there is no regular envoy. This has to be said, another signal.

This Ministry of Water Judge Envoy has always been the Ministry of Works, but now he has let himself serve as it, which feels very strange. This member of the Ministry of Labor is not a real job, but a nominal official, and the last thing he does is the judge of the Ministry of Water.

Even so, Feng Manlou can be regarded as entering the sixth department, although he is the lowest official, but he can be regarded as entering the cabinet. For example, the section level of the provincial and capital organs in later generations, and the section level of local counties and cities, which are much more generous.

At this moment, the courtiers knew that this wind was full of buildings and had truly become a rising political star in the Great Song Dynasty. Feng Manlou calculated, this promotion, his own Yulu has no practical benefits except for the fourteen times a month when he was a county magistrate in the past, and now he has more than thirty times a month. Moreover, it is necessary to build the embankment of the Yellow River, which is even more exhausting to death.

These awards and appointments are all signed by the government hall and the three provinces, and they have the force of law. In other words, from this moment on, Feng Manlou will really be a person from the Ministry of Water, an official responsible for managing the Yellow River.

Next, it is to accept the pilgrimage of foreign nations, of course, first vassals and the like, and then equal states, such as the Khitan Liao State. At this time, the Khitan had been changed to the Liao State. The Liao State was first called the Khitan, and later changed to the Liao State, and later changed to the Khitan. Anyway, after changing it, everyone is still habitually called Khitan.

The first pilgrimage was Li Jishuang, who presented the map of the five prefectures of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing in court, and the library atlas, and asked the imperial court to send officials to govern, and asked to settle in the capital and enjoy the wealth of Tokyo.

Of course, the official family was very happy, and immediately awarded the Zhangde Army Festival envoy, and the clansmen were all well arranged, and they were greatly rewarded.

Next, there is Annan's envoy, but it is just a formality. The second was the king of Goryeo, Kim Quan, who brought gold and silver threads, brocade robes, gold and silver ornaments, swords, bows, famous horses, and incense to the Song Dynasty, and asked to inherit the throne. It turned out that the king of Goryeo had died, and his younger brother Wang was in charge of the government.

Emperor Taizong was appointed as the governor of Taibao and Xuansu Prefecture, and he was appointed as the military envoy of Dashun and the king of Goryeo. and specially dispatched the superintendent of the imperial history Li Juyuan and the doctor of the notes Kong Wei to envoy the edict.

In addition, it was the Dali envoy who put on the seal and presented the national letter.

In the end, it was the envoy of the Liao State. This Liao envoy is Yelu Sezhen, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, this kid is very polite, and he directly wrote a war letter.

Immediately made the Great Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military furious, and the officials did not think so, but just said that they would raise troops as soon as possible, recover the clouds, and drive the Khitan to Mobei! This Khitan envoy is simply here to make trouble.

Subsequently, the Khitan envoy was resented and left the court, and threatened to invade on a large scale. Break up a big court meeting.
