Chapter 5: The Feast of the Wind
The reception banquet held by Sima Zhan for Sima Jingling was huge and very grand, basically including all the officials and princes in the court of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
Because the distance on the road was not too far, Sima Jingling was not able to ask Chun Tao more details.
But these are nothing, after all, during the time she went to the Northern Proud Kingdom, she did not completely cut off the internal connection with the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
She only reduced her sense of presence in the affairs of the court on the surface, but behind the scenes, she still paid attention to the situation in Nanyu's country.
Especially about Sima Zhan's growth in this regard, she has always learned about it through her own channels.
It's just that when I met Sima Zhan, I was shocked to see the changes in myself in person, which was far more than what was described in the letter.
As for the bigger changes in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, that is the great change of blood experienced by the four major families.
When Sima Jingling left, the Wang family had already suffered a serious blow because of the matter of seeking a position.
If it weren't for the deal reached between Sima Jingling and the Wang family, it would not be surprising that the Wang family would be removed from the four major families in Beijing.
However, the Wang family was indeed greatly injured because of this incident and could not maintain his position as the head of the four major families.
Compared with the Wang family, the original four families in the capital were the most miserable is the Ning family.
King Qin lost early in the seizure of the throne, and he also deliberately rebelled, and even the Ning family behind him died cleanly.
The original respect for the famous family disappeared overnight, which is enough to make people wake up and sigh.
Therefore, because of the defeat of the Ning family, the rising star Zhang family who made up for it is enough to be cautious and cautious, and he will not touch the slightest dangerous thing, highlighting a sleekness and a what is called Mingzhe self-preservation.
Therefore, the new four families in the capital are the Xie family, the Gu family, the Zhang family and the Wang family.
Originally, the old four families, the Xie family was located at the end of the four.
However, due to the blow of the Wang family itself, it will not be able to recover its glory for a while, and the Xie family has ushered in its own development opportunities.
And the Xie family is good friends with the Gu family, and the Gu family itself is not a person who likes to compete, as long as there will be no accidents to Prince Chu in the end, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, their Gu family will be satisfied, so they don't care about the so-called ranking of the four families.
The reason why the Xie family used to rank at the bottom of the four was not because they had no property and couldn't make money, or because they had no people in the court and no influence; It is because there are huge differences and shortcomings among the Xie family.
Part of the Xie family is ambitious and self-interested people who only think about their own future and interests; Some of them are people who are content with the status quo and only want to be blessed by their ancestors and clans, and do not want to survive on their own strength at all.
As for the remaining part, like Xie Qingyun, the eldest son of the Xie family and the new head of the Xie family, he seeks a way to change the Xie family, so that the Xie family can regain the prosperity of the pre-lease period.
As a result, under the leadership of Xie Qingyun, this part of them carried out a drastic liquidation and rectification of the Xie family.
If there are those who do not obey orders, Xie Qingyun also changed his previous elegant image, and used extremely strong means to make them not only not submit to his majesty.
was really unconvinced, Xie Qingyun didn't talk any nonsense, and directly removed them from the Xie family tree, even if the elders of the clan came to stop them, they showed no mercy.
The fate of these people who were driven out of the Xie family genealogy can actually be imagined.
On weekdays, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, especially their families who are both political and businessmen, and the news is naturally much better than ordinary people.
These people do business or do things, in fact, they rely on the identity and name they represent behind them.
These people don't have the identity of the Xie family, if they want to do something, they must run into walls everywhere, and they can't do it at all, especially after everyone sees Xie Qingyun's such a firm and strong attitude.
If these people who were kicked out, if they could put down their bodies, just like those ordinary merchants in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, and start with a small business, then they would not be unable to survive.
But they really can't save face.
In this way, whether they can solve the problem of food and clothing by themselves is a problem, and how can they do what they once wanted to do, or go back to take revenge on Xie Qingyun?
Xie Qingyun liquidated those in the group who didn't do things and those who wanted to do other things, and the rest of the Xie family were all people who did practical things and had the ability.
They joined forces and worked together, and after developing for a period of time, they successfully became the heads of the new four major families in the capital.
When Sima Jingling's sedan chair arrived at the banquet venue, Xie Qingyun happened to have just arrived here, and was standing at the door with others to greet him.
Sima Jingling glanced at Xie Qingyun on the sedan chair, and found that although Xie Qingyun had become the first master worthy of the name, his face was still the same as that Sima Jingling had seen at the beginning, with the appearance of a humble gentleman, and he couldn't see at all that this was the head of the Xie family with thunderous means that no one in the capital dared to underestimate now.
After Xie Qingyun stopped in Sima Jingling's sedan chair, he turned around and waited for Sima Jingling to get off with the people at the door, and respectfully saluted Sima Jingling.
As soon as the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, after everyone heard Sima Jingling's "no courtesy", they all looked up slightly at Sima Jingling, and they couldn't help but be shocked in place, and then marveled in their hearts.
Although this princess Jinning has been away from the Southern Imperial Kingdom for a few months, her demeanor is still the same, a pair of bright, bewitching but sharp eyes are still the same as before leaving, extremely imposing, making people feel frightened at a glance, as if all thoughts have been seen through. The reception banquet held by Sima Zhan for Sima Jingling was huge and very grand, basically including all the officials and princes in the court of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
Because the distance on the road was not too far, Sima Jingling was not able to ask Chun Tao more details.
