Chapter 10: Changing Wind Direction
"Satisfied, absolutely satisfied."
Jin Yue also said the opposite, she was very helpless, she was too capable of making things in this life.
"When are you going to go? Preparations should have already begun at this hour. ”
"I've been preparing since the morning."
Steward Wu spoke: "Deng Qiu's mansion is also on this Zhengfu Street, and the formation is quite large, and they also let out the words, saying that they invite you to go. ”
"It's obviously embarrassing you."
"It's fine."
Guan Ning said lightly: "The good show is still to come......"
And at this moment, there is a mansion on the other side of the same street as the palace, which is like a city and very lively!
This is the mansion of Deng Qiu, the left attendant of the military department of the dynasty, and today he held a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the joy of promotion.
Officials, rites, households, soldiers, criminals, and workers six departments, each set up a scholar, for the second grade, if there is a title or cabinet will be increased in grade, in addition to the chief officer, each set up two adjutant officials, for the squire.
The Dakang Dynasty respects the left, and the left squire of the military department, but the real second-in-command, the key is that this promotion is obviously profound, and Deng Qiu is appreciated by the saint and enjoys Longen.
In today's context, this celebration feast has more flavors.
By now, everyone can see that the true intention of the Holy One is that he wants to suppress the Zhenbei Palace, or that he has the intention of banning it!
Now, Guan Ning, as the sole heir, is the first to bear the brunt.
And Deng Qiu is a knife used by the saint!
The military department and the Zhenbei Wangfu have never dealt with each other, the Zhenbei Wangfu sits in the northern Xinjiang, is in charge of the army independently, and is not controlled, and the military department has long wanted to take back its authority, but it has no chance......
Deng Qiu was appointed as the left attendant of the military department, and he was about to start.
The wind is beginning to change, and at this time smart people know what to do, and when will they not make friends at this time?
To befriend Deng Qiu is to express support for the Holy Lord's Cutting Domain!
This is only the first step, and it will be difficult for the vassal kings in all parts of the court next.
So this feast is not just a feast......
Since the morning, many people have started to come to the door, and those with low official positions will come early to help out with familiar faces or something, and they will also make a scene.
In comparison, the King of Zhenbei is extremely deserted, isn't this exactly what Deng Qiu wants to see?
Many people's eyes are focused on this, and there is a lot of discussion.
"I heard that Lord Deng also invited Guan Shizi?"
"Yes, I released my words this morning, saying that Guan Shizi had promised to come."
"What a fool, what are you doing here? Looking for humiliation? ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"The Zhenbei Wangfu is already difficult, and there is such an heir? How do you stand up? ”
"Actually, the saint is right, if the Zhenbei Wangfu is given to such a prince, won't the north be finished?"
There were good deeds who came to watch, and the people of the Deng Mansion did not drive them away, but gave some happy money, and they were happy to see it.
As it approached noon, more and more guests came, and Deng Qiu also came out to greet him personally.
"Congratulations to Lord Deng on his promotion, I will have to rely on taking care of him in the future."
"Rejoice and rejoice."
Deng Qiu is more than forty years old, with a slightly dark complexion and a medium-to-thin build.
It is quite rare to sit in such a high position at this age, in fact, Deng Qiu is indeed a talent, he was born in the military, transferred to a civilian job in the military department, and his official fortune is prosperous, and he has risen to this point.
Now that he is valued by the saints, the future is very good, and it is ironclad to win the position of Shangshu in the future, and it is indispensable to add the title to the cabinet......
"Master Hu has arrived!"
"Master Li has arrived!"
"Wei Gongzi has arrived!"
At this time, the people who came were all high-level officials, and there were many people from the big clans.
Deng Qiu is not good at smiling, coupled with his slightly darker complexion, he is privately called Deng Heiface, but at the moment he is smiling like a chrysanthemum.
And beside him was a young man, with a handsome face, dressed in a decent robe, with a good demeanor, who also greeted guests with Deng Qiu.
He is Deng Qiu's eldest son, Deng Mingzhi.
This son is quite famous in Shangjing, although he is the son of an official eunuch, he has real talent and learning.
"Lord Xu, here!"
At this moment, a report with a significantly raised voice rang out.
Hearing this, everyone at the door turned to greet them.
Even Deng Qiu didn't dare to slack off.
"Hurry up and greet Lord Xu."
Deng Mingzhi was upright, and he also tidied up his shirt.
A sedan chair is parked in front of the door, this sedan chair looks ordinary and not special, but everyone attaches great importance to it.
"I didn't expect Lord Xu to come."
"Expected."
Someone whispered.
When the sedan chair fell, the attendant immediately went to lift the curtain, and then a person walked out.
He wore an ordinary gray cloth robe, his figure was slightly broad, he was in his fifties, his complexion was slightly pale, and he had a sense of majesty.
This is a long-term cultivation at the top, even if you dress ordinarily, you can't hide it.
The name of the person who came was Xu Zhengying, who was the secretary of the military department of the dynasty and an official of the second grade.
Deng Qiu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Xu can come, I am really flattered to be here." ”
This is his top official, how dare he snub.
In officialdom, the difference in the first level can also crush people, not to mention the chief officer and deputy position.
"Mingzhi, I came to see Lord Xu."
Deng Qiu pulled his son next to him.
"Mingzhi has seen Lord Xu."
Deng Mingzhi greeted him decently.
"There are not many talented people in the capital, Mingzhi is definitely one of them, Deng Qiu, you are blessed, there are a few good sons."
This pun is a hint at the exiled Deng Mingyuan, if it weren't for this opportunity, Deng Qiu might not be promoted.
Deng Qiu naturally understands that after today, his son Deng Mingyuan will leave Beijing and be exiled to Vedice, although he has already taken care of it, and he will not be a coolie if he goes, but after all, the environment in Vedic is harsh, and it is inevitable to suffer some hardships.
Thinking of this, he hated Guan Ning more.
slapped his son in public, which was a slap in the face.
"It's all for the sake of the saints."
Deng Qiu said.
"That's right, we're all worried about the saint."
Xu Zhengying said: "Especially your burden, it's very heavy." ”
"Understood, understood."
The two have a dialogue, and there are many metaphors.
"I've seen Lord Xu later."
And all the people at the door saluted in unison.
"Today is to congratulate Deng Qiu, and I am also wearing civilian clothes, so I don't have to be polite."
"Lord Xu, Gao Jie."
A sycophant sounded.
Officialdom is like that.
"Haha, it looks like I'm late."
At this time, a laugh sounded, slightly abrupt, this person was very white-skinned, with a fat figure, and walked over with his hands behind his back, but when he saw this person, everyone was immediately stunned.
"People who are higher than me are here, and they are not in the sedan and not in the car."
Xu Zhengying greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Wu."
"I've seen Lord Wu."
Deng Qiu was also busy greeting him.
It turned out that this person was Wu Qingkun, the right capital of the Imperial Palace.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is one of the two major official systems of the Dakang Dynasty, which is in charge of picketing hundreds of divisions, identifying wrongs, and supervising localities, and is a veritable discipline inspection department.
Compared with Xu Zhengying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this is what everyone is most afraid of.
Wu Qingkun is one of the two chief officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Today's formation is a bit big, there are two Zhengerpin officials in person, people are secretly frightened, this is the best proof of the change in the direction of the wind......
