Chapter 629: The power changes in Tai’an City, Chen Shaobao becomes a newcomer
In the twilight, the young owner of the house, who had to be at the bottom of the threshold in the county king’s alley, took the initiative to take a strange guest home for the first time. The doorman at the mansion was an old man who had been to the old county prince for generations, but he still couldn’t recognize who the middle-aged man was wearing court uniforms, and he could make his master so serious. Looking at the man’s official patch, it shows that it is a third-grade peacock with brocade texture. The old man thought he had a pretty vicious vision. He was a noble family. The old concierge had the confidence to recognize him at a glance. He looked carefully at the guy who crossed the threshold with his master. He always felt that the aura of this person was a bit contradictory. He was obviously a civil servant, but he was like a military general who had just walked off the battlefield, but he was not like those rough people who often made jokes in the early years when they often went to the Ministry of War to make jokes.
The number of servants in the mansion can barely ensure that the four-entry house is running without any hindrance, so when Chen Wang and the guests entered the mansion, they did not meet anyone. Not to mention the noble houses built in accordance with the prince’s specifications, the nearby county and prince’s mansions have three roads and five courtyards according to the ancestral system. At this dinner, no one can hold a bowl, about one or two friends, and stay in a high position and talk all the way. How happy it is! On the contrary, this Chen Mansion, which is pale in size, has a deep artistic conception.
After the host and guest sat down, a tall woman with a middle-aged appearance rushed to the scene after hearing the news. When she entered the house, her husband was cooking tea himself. The flames in the stove swayed slightly, and the pot of water gradually boiled, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly deserted house. Chen Wang looked up at his wife and smiled and introduced, “It’s Xu’s Minister of War.”
No matter how high or low, there are no ignorant people in the County Prince’s Alley. The woman who was decreed to be “Princess Changle” immediately knew the multiple identities of the visitor: General Longxiang Xu Gong, the pillar of the Gumu Xu family, and the young and strong general with the highest prestige in the Liyang army, are now teased by the County Prince’s Alley as the “new wife” in Tai’an City. She also heard that this Minister Xu didn’t seem to be very popular. Although it was not considered an open promotion and demotion in secret, it would be difficult to successfully integrate into the capital city as quickly as Lu Baijie, a sword immortal in Tangxi. A royal family woman whose real name is Zhao Song has never been interested in the government affairs. Why did her husband lead the Minister of War home? She didn’t think deeply as usual. The visitor was a guest, so she naturally knew how to deal with it. She could not save her man’s face. So after saying hello to Xu Gong, she quickly took over the tea cooking work in Chen Wang’s hand, poured two cups of tea for the two men, and immediately said goodbye and left.
Xu Gong joked: “You are lucky enough, and we really can’t envy you.”
Xu Gong has always been a real local official. He has never deliberately managed any connections in Tai’an City, a “Criminal” where “there are people in the court who are easy to be an official” and is willing to do anything. This time, I was able to enter Beijing, as the outside world rumored, and it was only because of the “selling old faces” by the elderly of my clan and several seniors on Jiangnan Road. The future path will be reallyThe master led the door to practice and looked at the individual. Therefore, after entering Beijing, he was extremely restrained and restrained and almost never left home. The reason why he was able to get on the line with Chen Wang was because Chen Wang had a deal with Xu Gong during the “big plan” of the examination department as the doctor of the examination department to assist Yin Maochun in the local examination. It is a gentleman who meets each other too late. At that time, Xu Gong broke his head and never expected that Chen Wang would stand out so quickly and become one of the important ministers and ministers at the center of the dynasty.
Chen Wang was not too humble, and nodded and smiled, “Zhujing is among the many golden branches and jade leaves of the Zhao family, and his temperament is indeed good.”
Speaking of this, Chen Wang paused for a moment, his face was gentle, and subconsciously added, “I cherish it very much.”
Xu Gong hesitated for a moment and asked, “I would like to ask, although the family has always hoped that I could enter the Ministry of War one day, for some reason, the elderly in the family had many surprises about the summoning of the capital, especially the priest Yu gave me the four-character “Mixed Good and Misfortune” before leaving, and there were some inexplicable feelings in the world. Obviously, Jiangnan Road hoped that Xu Gong would enter Beijing, but whether I could enter Beijing was not the only one who could do it. I dare to ask if anyone in the capital of Shaobao had said good things for me”
Only when you can speak with all your words is the friendship of a gentleman. Xu Gong knew that he was not in line with the official rules when he asked straight to the point, but he just thought that he had a sincere relationship with Chen Wang, so he disdained to cover it up.
Chen Wang smiled and pointed at himself.
Xu Gong was stunned.
Chen Wang looked up and said, “At first, the Yu family’s Shangzhu Kingdom came to Beijing. There was no doubt that he had the idea of introducing Brother Xu to Beijing, and he had some arrangements. For some reason, the following was gone. In my opinion, he should have thought that Brother Xu would not be allowed to come to Tai’an City to wade into the muddy waters at the last moment. I had not yet entered the diligent room as a junior guard, but I was still sitting in the position of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Economics Office, and was planning his position, so I said something to His Royal Highness. Of course, those were all things on the cake. If Brother Xu had not been there, and if I had not been able to put it there, His Royal Highness would not have any thoughts.”
Xu Gong was a little amused and crying.
