The small hammer in the hands of the musicians of the orchestra fell gently, and the bronze ritual instrument made a long last sound.

Li Sheng's voice came out from afar, and many courtiers saluted the emperor and the emperor together, and then quietly withdrew from the other garden, leaving the palace hall from all the palace gates, the palace was forbidden, no one dared to make a loud noise, after leaving the palace gate, the sound of whispered conversation between many courtiers sounded, and there was no shortage of people with solemn expressions.

I thought it was just a simple palace celebration, but I never thought that there would be such a big wave.

Today, a hundred swords crisscrossed into the palace to congratulate the gifts.

The Lord of the First Rank Shenwu Mansion personally sent two divine swords.

The disturbing thoughts in everyone's hearts settled, and an old man wearing a third-grade official uniform was a little weak, his eyebrows were all white, and the jade ring on his finger was in the style of Zhao Guo back then, shrouded in the shadow of the cuffs of the official uniform.

The old man stopped, turned his head and saw the inside of the palace gate, and the old department of Shenwu Mansion stopped.

Thinking of what happened today, the old man's cheeks twitched slightly, turned his head, straightened his back, and was still full of the bearing of the family as in the past.

It's just that the footsteps are a little heavy.

When Wang Anfeng left the palace royal road, he saw everyone waiting at the gate of Chengtianmen.

Among them, Mr. Mei San, who has seen him in Jiangnan Province, Mei Wangsheng, is impressively listed, and at the front is an old man wearing a Zhuguo official uniform and a purple gold fish bag, with white hair and white beard meticulous, and his eyes are shining.

When everyone saw Wang Anfeng coming, they all crossed their hands and saluted.

…………

In the palace.

The Emperor Taishang stroked the two long swords that went and returned, his expression was extremely complicated, and the princess Qiwu who was serving next to him suddenly got up like an electric shock, and did not dare to sit in the same row as the old man, took off the golden silk feather veil on his face, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said to the female official in Tsing Yi on the side:

"My subordinates have crossed many places recently, and I ask Your Highness to atone for your sins."

The female officer in Tsing Yi, who was standing behind Wang Anfeng before, took off a mask from her face that was as thin as a cicada's wings, like a moonlight, and the mask fell like a falling feather, and it had dissipated before it fell to the ground, and the appearance of the female official who was originally just dignified has changed, and she is already beautiful and exquisite, and her bearing is even more dignified and elegant, far from being comparable to the previous Princess Qiwu.

Emperor Taishang casually handed the feather coat presented by Lu Zihua to the real Li Qiwu, looked at the two divine swords, and suddenly said with a smile: "Qiwu, you have always been assertive. How did you feel when you saw the Lord of the Shenwu Mansion up close today, did you ever feel a little tempted? ”

Li Qiwu replied:

"The master of the Shenwu Mansion is a talent, young and handsome, and his martial arts are also high, he is a rare figure in the world of Great Qin, and among the major families, there are not many people who can compare with him."

The Emperor squinted and nodded.

She saluted slightly at the Emperor and the Emperor, her expression was still flat, not like a woman of this age, and said, "If he doesn't object, I will accept this marriage." ”

The Emperor Taishang didn't know how, he thought of the things when he was young, and sighed: "If you talk like this, you don't like it, that's it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, where are there so many logical things in the world, and besides, he already has a sweetheart, the emperor, the juniors don't like it, you don't have to force them." ”

"Anyway, Wang Tiance is already gone."

"If he was still alive, he probably wouldn't agree to such a marriage."

"Otherwise, I would not have rejected the marriage of the Langya Wang family back then."

The old man got up, looked at Li Qiwu, touched his granddaughter's hair, and said:

"That handsome man in the world, do you have anything that can get into your eyes?"

The Emperor grinned and said:

"You don't have to fall in love at first sight, a little good feeling is enough, you can take your time."

Li Qiwu was silent, shook his head and said softly:

"No, I didn't."

………………

On this day, many of the old departments of Shenwu Mansion that were still above the court went to the annex where Shenwu Mansion was originally located with Wang Anfeng, and the food and wine in the palace were delicious, but no one was bold enough to really eat and drink in the court, including Wang Anfeng, everyone just tasted it.

The second round will only start after leaving the palace.

The eight hundred Qingtao riders of the Shenwu Mansion have already emptied the tavern inventory on the entire street according to Gongsun Jing's orders, and a group of old Shenwu tribes who are just idlers in the court are rarely able to drink heartily like today, and there is no barrier in their hearts, and the Qingtao riders who have established a great martial arts rank as soon as they are born are drunk today.

The concierge of Shangshu Mansion tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

When I wrapped my head in the bed with a quilt pillow, I vaguely remembered that when I was young, I often heard the sound of hearty laughter from that empty yard.

"Mansion Master, please drink as much as you want."

Mei Wangsheng picked up the wine bowl and touched the wine bowl in Wang Anfeng's hand, then raised his neck and drank it all, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bright, Wang Anfeng had already taken off the robe that was just looking gorgeous, still wearing his own cloth clothes, and also drank the wine in his hand.

Sitting next to him was Liwu, as well as a middle-aged man surnamed Pang, and an old man wearing the official uniform of the Pillar State.

It is the one with the highest status in the court in the Zongheng family today.

The old man's son was suppressed in one place as a pillar country, and he couldn't easily leave the county town, and he himself didn't have this kind of constraint, his own martial arts were not strong, and Shangzhu was really just an official title, he could go anywhere, and he only went around the world on weekdays.

Lao Zhuguo's wine is not large, he has already drunk some alcohol in the palace before, and at this moment, after three rounds of wine, he couldn't bear the strength of the wine at first, shook it, put the wine cup in his hand on the table, supported his body, looked at Wang Anfeng with a pair of eyes, and said with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth:

"It's a bit of a disappointment to say this kind of thing at this time, but the favorite thing for me and other strategists to do is to ruthlessly spoil the main general when he is full of ambition, so as to save him from making a big disaster, An Feng don't blame me for not listening to this old guy, but I still have to talk to you at this moment."

The old man's eyes stared at Wang Anfeng's eyes, and said:

"Are you here now, do you plan to enter the court?"

The old departments of the Shenwu Mansion who were sitting relatively close to each other paused for a moment and pricked up their ears.

Wang Anfeng took a sip of wine and said:

"Why did the old man say this?"

The old man's white eyebrows twitched, he rolled his eyes, sat back in his seat and scolded with a smile: "Your father likes to answer questions with questions the most, and at that time, people want to pinch his neck and smash him on the wall, how can you have this problem here?" ”

His voice paused, and he said with some regret:

"I could still break my wrist with your father back then, but now I can't beat you."

"That's it, I just want to tell you, it's not a good opportunity to enter the court now, at this juncture, it seems that the court is peaceful, and the family is thriving, but it is difficult for others to know the suffering behind the scenes, after the Great Qin pacified the Six Kingdoms, there were many families left, and they were not eradicated, but recruited them to join the court as officials."

"Why do you think so?"

The mainstream view is that at that time, Great Qin used the prosperity of the family as a threat to force those big families to enter the court as officials, and also used this to quickly calm the hearts of the people of all countries and prevent chaos.

Wang Anfeng said: "It should be to stabilize the world and avoid troubled times." ”

The old man shook his head with a look on his face, and said:

"Yes and no."

"This is just one of them, at that time, the Six Kingdoms were not all defeated at one time, the process of recovering the Six Kingdoms lasted for several years, the army of the Great Qin Hundred Battles, the Iron Knight of the Eighteen Roads was high, who didn't want to win more military merits? That's a real reward. Besides, how can those defeated armies be the opponents of Great Qin? ”

"When he left Wu, he once led hundreds of people to chase and kill 10,000 people, and the army was broken for dozens of miles."

"In that battle back then, although the Great Qin Bingfeng was a little weak, it was not a problem to completely sweep away those big families."

"The reason why they are allowed to enter the DPRK is that on the one hand, the territories of various countries really need these people to maintain stability, and on the other hand, they ...... The Great Qin family is intertwined, and has contributed a lot in the war, and its power and prestige are getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it is almost impossible to fall into a big situation, and almost sixty percent of the court officials are from the family, and the rest are mostly old with the family. ”

"Five surnames and seven hopes, protégés are all over the world, it is not an empty word."

"The court needs another force to balance it."

Wang Anfeng listened quietly to the old man's words, and said:

"Back then, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms family rode into Tianjing to fight against the Great Qin family?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Not bad." ”

"But that's in the past."

His voice was full of mockery.

"Why is it said that the family is a family after all, in just over 20 years, the major families that were originally hostile to each other have secretly interacted, a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, intertwined, broken threads, this is the family."

"Although Great Qin is prosperous, the situation facing the family has almost returned to more than 20 years ago, and it is not much different from that day."

"The only difference is that at this moment, Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin of the year, unifying the six countries, occupying the Central Plains, seventy-two counties suppressing all places, and the eighteen iron cavalry dividing the north and south, which is different from when the power of one country was used to defeat the world."

The old man raised his hand and took a sip of wine, and said something that was enough to shake the four fields of the court.

"At this moment, the Great Qin Dynasty no longer needs the family gate valve."

"Now that the prince is benevolent and lacks courage, His Majesty is alive, the family will definitely not have two hearts, but if the prince is not able to control the situation, the family may cause the national strength to decline, and even the emperor at that time will be affected."

"I think Your Majesty has the intention of slowly expelling the Six Kingdoms family from the court."

"Not only the families of the six countries, these more than 20 years of families have been secretly contacting, this will inevitably make the world's family Shilin hurt his muscles and bones, and His Majesty will miss the old feelings, but the Shenwu Mansion enters the court at this moment, whether it is His Majesty opening his mouth or not, it will become the most dangerous place in the whirlpool of the court."

"After all, there were three kingdoms that died directly because of Shenwu Mansion back then."

"The remaining three kingdoms are also inseparable from your father and us old guys."

"In addition, at this moment, the factions in the court have been formed, and they check and balance each other."

"If you enter the court, the Six Nations Family will inevitably attack it in groups, and you will naturally become the knife in the hands of His Majesty, cutting off the big piece of rotten flesh of the Six Kingdoms Family, you are not afraid of them attacking head-on, but the means of the court are damaged and inferior, even I feel cold."

"At this time, I'm afraid that the Shenwu Mansion will be attacked by the scholars."

"At that time, in order to protect you, Your Majesty should marry a royal woman to you, and then transfer you to the Western Regions, and form horns with the Northern Protectorate. That is the preparation that Great Qin has made for the next hundred years later, the whale swallows the world. ”

"How can those contemporary literati tarnish your reputation, you will always have the position of a famous general in the history books of later generations."

"At most, there is a loss of personal morality, but there is no loss in the big festival."

Lao Zhuguo seemed to have opened up the conversation, and it was also possible that he drank two different wines in a row, some were drunk, and he talked a lot, and said:

"Your Majesty has feelings for Shenwu Mansion, and even has deep feelings, this is true, but he is the emperor, I always felt that the emperor's family was too ruthless back then, and I kept my distance from him everywhere in Shenwu Mansion at the beginning, but I have seen a lot over the years, and I also feel that Your Majesty is more bitter than you and me."

"He has to be responsible for the people of the world first, the ancestral industry of Great Qin, and then the royal family."

"It's yourself until the end."

"Sometimes it is reprimanded for the cold-blooded exile and dismissal, it may be the greatest effort that the emperor can make, we can now drink wine and talk about the feelings of comrades who lived and died together in the past, but these are really a bit extravagant for the emperor, and the emperor does not need superfluous feelings."

Mei Wangsheng's heart was shaken when she heard this, and she drank several glasses in succession, but said:

"It is almost a matter of course that the family is in the world."

"If you think about it at the moment, there are indeed many drawbacks, but there is also a point, eighty percent of the world's talents are from the family, and some of them are from the Shi family, the proportion is too low, if the family is all scattered, what if the court is unstable?"

Lao Zhuguo said lightly: "This point, the court last week Fengyue, the eldest grandson Nian, can see it. ”

"I know how to do it."

"But no one dares to take that step, I don't know whether it will be success or failure, life or death."

"They don't dare."

"I don't know when someone will dare to risk the disapproval of the world's scholars, completely break the backbone of the family's monopoly on the court, kick the gate valve to dust, and stand in the same place with the people of the world."

After telling everything he knew, Lao Mai Zhuguo fell drunk on the table.

This night has passed, the starlight is gradually fading, but it is far from sunrise, Wang Anfeng sent Lao Zhuguo to the guest room, when leaving, Lao Zhuguo grabbed his cuffs, clearly not drunk, and Wang Anfeng begged him to leave some life for the old guys of their generation of Shenwu Mansion.

If you want to enter the court, it will be a few years.

He doesn't want his old brothers to plunge into the whirlpool of the court again when they are gray-haired, scholars never use knives to kill, the court is a place that consumes more lives than the battlefield, this one, even if he can get away with his life, he can't escape a few years later, away from the Central Plains, and die in the Western Regions.

They probably wouldn't regret it, but he said he was distressed.

It wasn't until Wang Anfeng whispered that he would not enter the court in this life, that the old man slowly let go of his palm and lay on the bed, Wang Anfeng came out, he was not sleepy for a while, sitting on the highest place, looking at the moonlight in the sky and thinking wildly in his mind, but it was not a major military event that matched the identity of the master of the Shenwu Mansion.

He thought that the third master always said that he would sneak into the big house to drink.

This time, I welcome people in the open, and I don't know which one is more dignified in the eyes of the third master? Is it a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in the thief's door?

Thinking of feeling Li Yinxiang's qi machine standing behind him at that banquet, he was almost startled, and failed to maintain the posture of the lord of the Shenwu Mansion, he never imagined that Li Yinxiang was actually a female official in the palace, and he may have made a disguise when he came out of the border of the Western Regions that day, and the qi was still the same, but it looked completely different from what he saw today.

However, being able to leave the palace and still have an old relationship with the Huangfu family, Li Yinxiang's status among the female officials in the palace is probably not low.

But that day, the two of them were knife maniacs and Jianghu women.

Today, it is the lord of the Shenwu Mansion and the female official of the court, and it is interesting to meet each other without knowing each other.

You can note that if you have the leisure to see Miss Xue, you can talk and joke with her about the wonder of fate in the world, and it is impossible to meet the old people, if you change yourself to Miss Xue, I am afraid that you will not care about the environment, and will take the initiative to invite you to drink?

In this way, she is more atmospheric.

Wang Anfeng couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly noticed the appearance of a qi machine, his eyes raised slightly, his right hand grabbed it, and a long sword was controlled by the strength in his hand, and then slashed out horizontally to the side, and another sword appeared in the air, saying that it was a sword, it was also a little strange, entangled with white strips of cloth, the sword did not fall, and it had been withdrawn at a distance from Wang Anfeng.

Wang Anfeng casually threw down the sword, and he already held the Shenwu Sword in his hand.

A second person appeared under the moonlight.

Dressed in a long robe with a somewhat gray color, a long sword entangled with strips of cloth, holding the sword in his right hand, only the cuffs of the left arm of the visitor were constantly shaking by the wind, and the arm could not be seen.

Wang Anfeng got up abruptly and looked at the scholar opposite who looked much more withered.

"Ni Fuzi ......"
