Chapter 8 Yang Ding
"Gangnam Villa. β
Looking at the four big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the plaque, Wang Hao felt that a mighty martial arts will was rushing towards him, Zhongzheng was peaceful, and there was no intention of hurting people, but it made him feel awe.
"Just by virtue of the four words King Pingxi, there are a few people in the world who dare to come here to make trouble. β
Wang Hao said to himself, Wu Jian, the king of Pingxi, broke through to the Bagua Realm forty years ago, and some people even speculated that he had now set foot in the Nine Palaces realm, and his strength was unfathomable.
With such a figure behind him, it is no wonder that the Seven Princes dare to compete with the crown prince.
"Most of the royal games are carried out in secret, and I also paid attention to the battles between the princes back then, but unfortunately I didn't get much valuable information. β
Wang Hao sighed secretly in his heart, the Marquis of Dingyuan has no intention of operating the forces of Shangjing, and rarely walks around with many princes in general, because of this, Wang Hao is relatively marginalized in Shangjing, and many news are not well-informed, if he can know which prince has the upper hand in the end, Wang Hao will not be so passive.
At this time, someone in the courtyard walked towards Wang Hao, it was Mr. Wei.
"Little Marquis, please, the Seventh Prince originally planned to come over in person, but suddenly someone came, and the Seventh Prince must accompany him in person, and if there is poor hospitality, please atone for his sins. β
Manager Wei said with a smile, it was already the highest courtesy to be able to come over to greet him in person as his identity.
"Manager Wei is polite, I don't know which distinguished guest even has to accompany the Seventh Prince?"
Wang Hao naturally didn't care, he didn't plan to have a deep friendship with the Seventh Prince, and this promise to gather was just a hindrance to the relationship between his father and King Pingxi.
"This distinguished guest is very low-key, but his reputation is not small, and the little marquis will understand it when he sees it in a while. β
Manager Wei did not tell Wang Hao the identity of that person, presumably because he was worried.
Wang Hao smiled and did not continue to ask.
"Could it be that it is the heir of a certain prince?"
Wang Hao speculated that in his opinion, only people at this level would make the Seven Princes pay so much attention.
After a while, Wang Hao followed Manager Wei to the place where everyone gathered, and the hall was crowded with people.
The banquet was attended by either rich or noble people, and among them were many princely heirs.
These people have already embarked on their official careers, and with the protection of their fathers, they are bound to become the pillars of the Celestial Empire in the future, which can also be seen that the faction of the Seven Princes is deeply rooted and extremely powerful.
"Little Marquis, the Seventh Prince is about to arrive, you wait a while. β
Manager Wei motioned for his subordinates to come over and arrange Wang Hao's position, and then said goodbye and left.
Wang Hao didn't care, the old god was sitting in the corner on the ground, and he didn't participate in everyone's vanity and grievances.
"This person is Wang Hao? It's really shit luck, and he directly became the inspector of the Town God Division. β
Many people also noticed Wang Hao at this time, after all, there were only a few people who could greet Manager Wei personally.
"My father has found a lot of connections, but the Zhenshen Division has not yet taken shape, and the attitude of the human emperor is not clear, so he can't be one step ahead of others at all. β
"Marquis Dingyuan has been favored by the emperor over the years, and with a Wang Hao, it seems that the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion will go to a higher level in the near future. β
For a while, some people were envious, some people were jealous, and the focus of everyone's discussion fell on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took a full view of everything, still very calm, and had no intention of talking to everyone at all.
Time passed, and soon people began to come over, and Wang Hao did not hold his identity, but those princes and heirs did not move, and even a few people looked at Wang Hao with cold eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, and two figures appeared in front of everyone.
The first person is wearing a stone blue dragon coat, embroidered with four five-clawed golden dragons on the front, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is only about twenty years old.
"I've seen the Seven Princes. β
Everyone shouted, and the seventh prince, the owner of the courtyard, finally appeared.
Wang Hao also looked over with everyone's gaze, and after seeing the face of the person beside the Seventh Prince, his expression instantly became gloomy.
"Yang Ding!"
Wang Hao's heart sank, he didn't expect that the so-called distinguished guest would be this person.
"What kind of interests are there between the two of them?"
For a while, Wang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The most ruthless emperor's family, although the Marquis of Dingyuan can be regarded as the protΓ©gΓ© of the King of Pingxi, but once the interests of the two sides conflict, it is normal to turn against each other, after all, with the reputation of Yang Ding's ancestors, the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion cannot be compared with the former.
However, for the time being, it is not clear about the relationship between Yang Ding and the Seventh Prince, and it cannot be easily concluded.
"The fifteenth day of the first month is the day of the debriefing, and today is only the seventh day of the first month, why has Yang Ding already arrived in the capital?"
Wang Hao was a little puzzled, returning to Beijing early is a taboo, and it may even become a stain on his career, Yang Ding will never do such a stupid thing.
"You don't have to be restrained, today is just a routine banquet. β
At this time, the Seventh Prince spoke, his voice was gentle and approachable.
The identities of the people who can be present are not ordinary, and the Seven Princes still want to win over everyone, of course, it is impossible to make a lofty posture.
The banquet continued, and with the appearance of the Seven Princes, the atmosphere soon reached its peak, everyone talked and laughed, and they chatted, and Yang Ding was also good at dancing with long sleeves, and soon mingled with several princes and heirs.
Yang Ding's military achievements are outstanding, as if he is a rising star in the military world, and the prince's heirs are also happy to be close to him.
Wang Hao also took the opportunity to meet a few people, although they were not deep friends, but they also took a look.
"In my memory, these people have developed well in the army, and they are indeed inconspicuous now, but they will also have some good achievements in the future. β
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Hao not to make friends with anyone, otherwise it would be completely meaningless for him to come to this banquet.
"Little Hou Ye. β
Not long after, the Seventh Prince came over with Yang Ding, not too close, nor did he seem distant.
"I've seen the Seven Princes, presumably this should be the general of Zhengxi. β
Wang Hao greeted him and never lost his manners.
"Huh, you know Ben General?"
Yang Ding spoke indifferently, he was far away on the frontier, he had never set foot in the capital for half a step, according to common sense, few people should know him.
Yang Ding had collected a lot of information in advance when he entered Beijing this time, and he was no stranger to Wang Hao, especially after the latter received the Emperor's Holy Decree and became an inspector of the Zhenshen Division.
Although the Zhenshen Division has not yet taken shape, almost everyone can feel that the Emperor of the People attaches great importance to the Zhenshen Division, and with this relationship, Wang Hao's future achievements should not be underestimated.
"General Zhengxi is famous, and I have heard of it even if I stay at home in Shangjing. β
Wang Hao did not show hostility, in his memory he offended the latter because his father opposed Yang Ding's feudal marquis, but now this matter has not happened, Yang Ding has a deep background, and there are big names in the court to protect him, if it is not necessary, he does not want to be an enemy with him.
