Chapter Ninety-Three: Qi's Birthday Banquet

Wu Jin was a little stunned, the old man in front of him was Huangfu Yibiao? The dignified imperial uncle, although they have not met, they are old friends, and it was one of his receipts that pulled this Huangfu Yi watch from the position of Zongzheng Siqing.

Later, when he entered Beijing, he met Huangfu Yibiao's grandson, Huangfu Handsome, and planted him in his own hands, no wonder this Huangfu Yibiao looked at him with a kind of gnashing eyes.

From Su Hanzhen's body, he decided that the prince was the righteous party, and Uncle Shen was heinous, and after he entered Beijing, he gradually understood that there is no justice and evil in the power struggle, only the law of victory and defeat, and the prince is not a good thing.

However, this Huangfu Yi table swallowed 80,000 taels of silver from the Donghai Huangfu clan, which is not a good thing.

For a long time, he had been worried that Huangfu Yibiao would take revenge on the Donghai Huangfu clan, because this revenge was obviously going to happen, the other party was a dignified imperial uncle, and it was not a matter of effort to pinch to death a powerless and powerless big family in Donghai County?

But unexpectedly, this revenge did not happen, which made him a little puzzled, until he gradually went deep into the imperial power, and after he was promoted to the Duke of Liangguo, he gradually understood that the royal family and the title are actually just a sign of nobility, powerful, but it does not represent strength, in fact, among all the people in power in the Daning Dynasty, except for the emperor's son, there is no royal family, and the emperor of the Daning Dynasty does not allow the royal family to take power, in case the Jin'an change repeats.

Although this Huangfu Yibiao used to be the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Temple is not a department with real power, but just a department like the Sect Archives Bureau, and Huangfu Yibiao actually has no real power, so his little minion Huangfu Qu is also a useless person.

Of course, they have domestic warriors, and they can use assassination to deal with the Donghai Huangfu clan, but Uncle Shen Guo will not let him do that, and the crown prince will not allow it, once he attacks the Donghai Huangfu clan, he himself will not be able to protect himself, and he will not dare to take this risk without enough real power to protect himself.

In fact, he is just a sheep in wolf's clothing, he looks very powerful, but in fact he has no real power, relying on the aura of a royal family and a fake tiger, so Shao Jingwen is cold and indifferent to him, and he is not afraid of offending him at all, and the reason is here.

If he didn't have the real power of the Plum Blossom Guard, and the military power of the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Navy, who would buy his account just by virtue of a Liangguo duke?

has seen through this, Wu Jin doesn't care about the gritted uncle in front of him, of course he wants to kill himself, but can he kill it?

The carriage was galloping on the mountain road, Wu Jin was no longer interested in the imperial uncle in front of him, his eyes turned to the car window, although the ground was dirt, but it was very solid and flat, not an inch of grass was grown, and the carriage was running fast on such a mountain road, but it was not bumpy at all.

On both sides are mountain forests, tall trees, lush canopies, the mountain forest is shaded by the canopy, there is no sunlight in, it looks a little gloomy, but this kind of feeling is very good, I feel that I have a primeval forest.

Wu Jin was also a little tempted, when would he be able to have such a large manor like the Qi family, he suddenly remembered that the king of Lanling County also had a manor in the suburbs of Beijing, and he would like to go and see it when he had time in two days, and by the way, he would take a look at the Chen brothers and sisters.

The carriage traveled about two miles, crossed a gentle mountain col, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and there was a vast flat land in front of him, surrounded by gentle hills, about 100 acres in size, like a shrunken basin, the whole basin was covered with green, and there were patches of small woods everywhere, like tufts of hair standing on the grass, and in the middle of the woods there was a meandering river, which crossed the basin, and the river was as beautiful as a jade belt in the sunlight.

There are dozens of pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the river, and the buildings are very exquisite and elegant, like jewels inlaid on the jade belt, which is breathtaking.

On the south bank of the river is a meadow covering an area of more than 50 acres, and there are also five or six small woods on the meadow, and in the middle of these woods stand ten huge white tents, which are the largest military tents, one tent covers an area of at least two acres, and can accommodate nearly a thousand people to eat at the same time.

Ten huge tents are enough to accommodate today's guests, and around the other ten huge tents, there are nearly 100 small tents, which are special service tents, and all kinds of food and drinks are prepared in small tents.

From a distance, many people have gathered in the big tent, a team of maids are busy serving tea and water, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the tent is coming, and there should be a song and dance performance.

"A few distinguished guests, should you go to the tent first, or go to the river to rest first?" The driver of the car asked respectfully.

"I'll go to the river for a rest first."

Wu Jin smiled and asked Shao Jingwen again, "What about Brother Shao?" ”

Shao Jingwen smiled, "I'll go to the tent first to meet some colleagues." ”

Huangfu Yibiao, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I'll go to the tent too!" ”

After speaking, he glared at Wujin fiercely, he was gritting his teeth all the way thinking about how to teach Wujin a lesson, he really hated him to the bone, he got the exact news, the receipt was that Huangfu Wujin was handed over to Su Hanzhen, which made him lose his position as Zong Zhengqing.

If he was removed from Zong Zhengqing's post and took up other positions, maybe his hatred would not be so strong, but since he was removed from his post to the present, the emperor has not considered him to take another position, and the emperor has already released his words that he is old and should recuperate at home.

However, he was only in his early sixties, and the imperial court clearly stipulated that ministers would not officially retire until they were seventy years old, and if they were not in good health, they would retire early, and his body was very tough.

In fact, this is that the emperor did not let him be reinstated, which means that he was completely kicked out of the officialdom, and his career was completely finished.

If Huangfu Yibiao had a knife in his hand, he would not hesitate to stab Wujin with a knife.

The carriage stopped, and the outside had reached the side of the small river, not far away a dozen steps away is a unique building, the whole building is built on the river, the river water flows through the waterway under the building, this is the famous hidden water building in the Qijia Villa.

To the west of the Hidden Water Building is dozens of various water-friendly buildings, all open today, guests can rest in the room at will, several ladies are watching fish on the white jade platform in front of and behind the Hidden Water Building.

This is the place where Wu Jin wants to get off the car, he doesn't want to go to the tent so early, and it is also a pleasure to enjoy the scenery of Qijia Villa.

"Brother Shao go slowly, I'll get off here, I'll see you later!"

Wu Jin arched his hand to Shao Jingwen, turned around and entered the Hidden Water Building, Shao Jingwen also smiled and arched his hand, the carriage drove over a flat bridge and continued to move forward, at this time, Huangfu Yibiao finally spoke.

"General Shao, this person is the crown prince's person, you are so close to him, aren't you afraid that Uncle Guo will have ideas?"

Huangfu Yibiao is also the king of Chu, but he is not the person of Uncle Shen, but belongs to the faction of the royal family that supports the king of Chu, and Uncle Shen is an ally, although Huangfu Yibiao is not as powerful as before after being dismissed, but his economic strength is very strong, he and several other royal families founded Baifu Commercial Bank, which is one of the three major commercial houses in the world, ranking more than Qi Ruifu Commercial Bank, Uncle Shen Guo is very dependent on his financial resources, and he also respects him very much.

But Shao Jingwen didn't like this person, and he was very disgusted, because Huangfu Yibiao's grandson Huangfu Yingjun and Shen Guo's uncle's brother-in-law Bao Hongwu were embarrassed and tried to seize his power in the embroidered guard, which made Shao Jingwen remember a grudge in his heart.

Shao Jingwen heard the yin and yang in his tone, so he said coldly: "Who said that Huangfu Wujin is the prince's person, he is the successor of the Liang royal family, is it necessary to go to the prince as an attendant?" ”

Huangfu Yibiao sneered, his eyes were full of jealousy, the current emperor Huangfu Xuande has two imperial uncles, one is his Huangfu Yibiao, he is the king of Dunhuang County, and the other is Huangfu Jiang, the king of Lanling County, their fathers are the half-brothers of Emperor Jin'an, Huangfu Jiang's father is King Liang, but his father is the King of Shu, both of whom once had their own army.

After the Jin'an Incident, because Lao Liang Wang was a supporter of Emperor Jin'an, the first emperor threw a rat trap and did not directly deprive him of the Western Liang army, but agreed to the existence of the Liang Dynasty through negotiations.

The other princes who supported the Emperor of Jin'an were sent to the border one by one, and the King of Shu, who supported the coup of the King of Chu, was also deprived of military power and became the idle king.

Huangfu Yi hated here, his father supported the coup of the king of Chu and gained nothing, but the king of Liang opposed the coup of the king of Chu and kept the military power, until now, the Liang dynasty is still a force to be reckoned with in the court, and what about his father's former Shu dynasty? It has long since vanished.

is also the emperor's uncle, the emperor is still a master, much tougher than him, the grandson of the family can be crowned the Duke of Liangguo, can go to Chuzhou to lead the troops, and his grandson can't even keep the captain of the embroidered guard, how can Huangfu Yibiao balance in his heart, how can he not be jealous.

Shao Jingwen's answer was like a knife, plunging into Huangfu Yibiao's heart, making him dripping blood in pain, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't say a word more.

Shao Jingwen smiled disdainfully, and moved his eyes out the window, not wanting to look at Huangfu Yibiao's ugly face.

........ Wu Jin walked into the Hidden Water Building, in fact, to a large extent, he didn't want to see that disgusting Huangfu Yibiao again, and his gloomy eyes affected his mood.

The hidden water building is very large, there are two floors, upstairs and downstairs are places for people to rest, each placed more than 20 chairs, almost every chair has a guest, they are in groups of three or five, each gathered together to chat, there are also many people watching the precious porcelain displayed on both sides of the wall.

Wu Jin also picked up a celadon vase and played with it, but at the same moment as he picked up the vase, he suddenly saw a purple skirt floating out of the opposite window.

It's a person he wants to see, but doesn't want to meet.
