Compared with the tension in the Xia family's old mansion, the mansion of Wang Tao, the servant of the ministry, is much more peaceful.

Since hearing the news on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Wang family's family has not communicated much on this.

After gathering in Mrs. Liu's room to say goodbye at the necessary time, everyone thought about their own thoughts, and they were not interested in chatting and doing homework. After sitting for a while, he returned to the room with no interest.

Wang Jiayu and Xu Qinghui were angry and disdainful, while Mrs. Liu and Wang Tao understood that the Wang family had missed a big opportunity.

Wang Xi's mood is much more complicated, after leaving the Wang family, the woman who has been rumored to be there is no way for him and Xu Qinghui to forget about her.

Whenever he heard people talking about Qingyun Zhai, about glass, about that woman was separated from the Wang family, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He was sure that that emotion was not regret, but a very awkward, tangled, and empty feeling.

In addition, as long as there are rumors of Xia Yanqing in the outside world, Xu Qinghui's spirit is immediately tense, and he is extremely sensitive to his every move, a look, and even turning over at night.

This made Wang Xi feel that how many ropes were tied to his body was unbearable.

On the evening of the second day after the news came out, Wang Tao's brother had dinner with his mother, and watching Wang Xi leave with his head bowed, Mrs. Liu finally sighed and said: "A big opportunity, it's gone." If it continues to be like this, next year's spring will not be able to do well. ”

Wang Tao was silent. Wang Xi's impact is relatively small, and he is really finished here.

Ten years ago, he was a hot champion in the capital and a great talent.

Until Xia left the Wang family, he was still a hot upstart in the court. I don't know how many people assert that in time, he will become the youngest official in history to join the cabinet.

However, after Xia's reconciliation, this kind of statement gradually became less.

There is a saying, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? Many people are discussing in private, Wang Tao can't even handle the simple family affairs of his own population, how can he be entrusted with important tasks?

I don't know if there is another reason based on this kind of remarks, and all of a sudden, there are a lot fewer government affairs that he needs to deal with. Although he still led the four officials of the imperial court, he was obviously idle.

Even after the sale/official case of the Ministry of Officials a few years ago, the number of officials in the Ministry of Officials has decreased sharply, and the manpower is tight, and he still does not have many things at hand.

King Jing, who has always relied on him, is also a lot colder to him.

Could it be that his career will be buried because the relationship between the second brother and wife was not handled well?

…………

King Jing, who was remembered by Wang Tao, was in his study at this time, and said to Mr. Jiang with a gloomy face: "This king thought that Wang Tao was a shrewd and capable person, but how do you know, but he is so confused in family affairs. ”

Mr. Jiang only nodded vaguely and did not express an opinion.

Speaking of which, Wang Tao is really not to blame for this.

The Wang family didn't want to marry Xia Yanqing in the first place, and Xia Yanqing's state at that time was indeed far from worthy of Wang Xi.

Judging from the situation at that time, the Wang family was a third-class maid who chose to do miscellaneous work in Wang Xi's yard, and I am afraid that they would not be able to look down on Xia Yanqing like that.

Man, a well-known talent like Wang Xi, was imposed on a wife he didn't like, and it was normal for him to have no good face. A woman who has been married to a man is not to accept her fate...... There is only resignation.

Things are bad, Xia Yanqing is not an ordinary woman. How can such a woman look at other people's faces and live?

But then again, it's as strange as the emperor's praise of the Xia family. Such a woman, counted in all dynasties, where can you find a second one?

But the Wang family and His Royal Highness King Jing were not so lucky and were met by them.

King Jing also regretted there: "If Wang Tao's family can treat the Xia family well, the Xia family's glass industry will definitely become a powerful assistant to this king." Xia Ke's family will also stand in line with the king for their daughter. ”

This loss is simply too big, and there is wood and feet beating your chest?

…………

Similarly, the atmosphere in the Chengjun Palace's mansion was not very good, and the discussion was also about the emperor's unobtrusive praise.

King Chengjun frowned: "What does the emperor want to do?" Lifting up the Xia family like this, and letting King Yan keep coming and going, is it optimistic about Xia Ke's family, supporting them, and treating them as the team for King Yan to ascend the throne? ”

There were several staff members sitting in King Chengjun's chamber, and after listening to King Chengjun's words, they were all puzzled, and they really couldn't see through this matter.

Lifting the Xia family full of doors? It was a military general, a wealthy businessman, and the support of a large number of scholars.

That's right, it's Xia Zixi, a teacher.

Throughout the Liang Dynasty, Yunshan Academy was also the premier institution. Seven or eight out of ten students who come out of here can enter the official career.

Xia Zixi is very comfortable teaching in Yunshan Academy, and after a few years, I am afraid that I will be able to mix with a pedant, and in the future, I am afraid that he will be the head of the mountain.

It can be said that there are students all over the world.

This network power must not be ignored.

The emperor actually supported such a family, did he want the Xia family to have a foreign surname to control the government?

When everyone looked at each other, Jiang Hanwen said: "Today's saint is very shrewd, and he will never make such a mistake." Since he dares to support Xia Ke's family like this, he must have a backhand to control the Xia family. I can't say it, but after using it, it can be eradicated immediately. Your Highness, the most important thing here is to do a good job of our arrangement, and we can't let the Xia family dominate. ”

Several people in the room nodded one after another, "Mr. Jiang is right, and only this explanation is reasonable." "Yes, even they understand this kind of truth, how could the emperor, who has been taught the art of power and scheming since he was a child, not think of it?

Obviously, King Chengjun also agreed with this statement, but he still frowned and said: "If you want to arrange it, let's start with the officials first, there are many officials who have fallen because of the sale/official case, and many positions have been vacated." This is where the activity begins, and as many people as possible can be put in. ”

King Chengjun paused, remembered the heel he planted in Tangzhou last year, and said: "And that Wei Changping from the household department, hasn't he already caught his handle?" In February, when the appraisal was held, I shook him out. The position vacated by him arranged Chen Zeyi to pass, and in the future, when the six southeastern counties are restored, he can also exert some strength. ”

Jiang Hanwen nodded in response: "With Lord Chai maneuvering around, Chen Zeyi's call is not a big problem." ”

Chen Zeyi is a young official, a jinshi in his early years, with little fame and average political achievements, and after being recruited by King Chengjun, he began to experience in various departments, and he had the opportunity to be promoted, and he also had further ambitions.

Wang Jincheng remembered the theme of today's deliberation and asked: "Xia Yanqing is there, I think that starting tomorrow, there will be female relatives from all the prefectures to go to congratulate, let's here, do you want the county lord to go?" ”

King Chengjun hesitated a little, and looked at Jiang Hanwen. Although the Xia family does not have much contact with the ladies of the capital, the emperor is so high-profile, and he is a decree and a plaque for the royal pen, even if the ladies of the capital are unwilling, they have to hold the emperor's field.
