Chapter 806: All the immortals came together, and Xu Fengnian was trapped in the battle to Zhu Xian
“Since that’s the case, Yan Chiji kneeled and you, Your Majesty and I actually understand your principles in your heart. Why do you have to be more and more ruthless and even the Huangkou children in the capital know one thing. It’s so easy to kneel in the court, and it’s hard to stand. Otherwise, I’ll see if there is gold or silver on the ground?”
Yan Chiji finally stood up with tears.
When Yan Chiji was about to bow and thank him, Chen Wang shook his head and said, “It’s free. Lu Xu has done the same thing in front of His Majesty today. You do it again and let Your Majesty’s face be like a big hat for forming cliques and personal gain. I don’t think about continuing to be promoted.”
Yan Chiji said frankly, “A gentleman is not a party.”
Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, then began to turn around and climb the ladder, muttering, “It’s a waste of this game. It’s good, so I won’t waste any money to invite you to drink.”
Yan Chiji, who was flattering the wrong way, suddenly looked extremely embarrassed.
Song Tanglu, who had been ignoring the two of them, had his mouth quietly raised.
On the roof of the hall, Chen Wang, who was originally sitting next to the young emperor, moved his seat, and Yan Chiji had to sit between the emperor and Chen Wang with his teeth.
Zhao Zhuan said coldly, “If you don’t learn from those famous people in history, you will be advised by the emperor.”
Yan Chiji looked down and couldn’t see his expression clearly, and said softly, “Mr. Chen is right. If you become an official, you have to think about promotion and promotion. This is a normal human nature.”
Chen Wang, who was immediately repaid, was laughed and crying, thinking that scholars are not good people.
In addition, the blind man Lu Xu over there was a fun smile.
Zhao Zhuan was a little self-deprecating and sighed, “It’s right. You and Xu Fengnian have been good brothers since childhood, so today you kneel down and plead for him. If you, Yan Chiji, are just a minister of Li Yang, I, as an emperor, may be furious on the surface, and may even throw you into the Qingshui Yamen to sit on the bench for a few years, but in my heart, I was not so angry. As for what I said nothing, it would be a lie. But you are not just Xu Fengnian’s friend, I am not just the emperor of Li Yang. You and I are not just the monarch and minister, but also a family! I may also choose a concubine in the future, and there will be more and more uncles in the country, but I will only say more than lies to you. Yan Chiji is the brother-in-law of the fourth prince first, and then the uncle who is the uncle who is today.”
Yan Chiji was stunned.
Zhao Zhuan hugged Yan Chiji’s shoulder, laughed, and pointed his hand into the distance: “Look! The wind and clouds are surging! I hope that one day the four of us will be able to sit here together and see the light and gentle clouds!”
Chen Wang had a solemn expression and sat upright.
The blind Lu Xu “raised his eyes” and looked into the distance, with his hands freely on the roof.
As the best city, Tai’an City has many people and many rules, and even the residences of officials are divided into different levels. It is roughly divided into power, noble, pure, poor, and rich. For example, the mansion group where Duke Yan and Duke Huaiyang are located are mostly from great origins, with a large group of dukes and marquises. If new faces like Chen Wang had not relied on the relationship between the prince and the prince, Chen Wang would have no way to build a house there if you were not relying on your relationship with the prince before, otherwise Chen Wang would be the attendant of the left-sanqi, and you would not be able to build a house there. The clear streams in the capital are mostly from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College and the Censorate. They are not only officials from Liyang, but also literati and scholars who are famous in the Shilin City. They live next to each other and save the effort of calling friends. There are also poor officials in Tai’an City. For example, the earliest Ministry of Rites was a typical Qingshui yamen. Many officials of the Ministry of Rites who were not of high rank and were not the top leader even needed to rely on money to survive. In addition to living in poverty, they were called “clean and clean”, and the sorrow was not worthy of being a person who was not good at judging others. Rich people, such as Wang Yuanran, son of the former Minister of Revenue, and Yan Tongshu, who is a brother to Yan Tongshu, the legitimate grandson of the veteran Yan Zhenchun, have a wealthy father, but it is still very embarrassing to buy a house in Tai’an City. The mansion of the Duke and Bo is too sharp to get along, and the poor officials are boring. It feels boring to be rolled all day long. It feels uncomfortable to feel rolled by people. Fortunately, there is another option, which is to buy a big house in the middle of two large mansions of powerful officials and wealthy rich men, go to the capital’s official tycoon to pretend to be a son and a grandson during the day, and find money to make up for it at night.
Some people who are interested in studying the group of officials in the capital who made their fortunes in the late Xiangfu in Yonghui were probably the poor areas where students and scholars gathered in the south of Tai’an City. Then they quickly became one of the powerful and nobles in the northeast of the city. Finally, they went to buy a luxury mansion further east. If one day they could move to the west of the capital like Chen Wang and Shaobao, then even if they were perfect in this life, they would not only have no regrets, but also have an explanation for their ancestors and descendants.
The gentry of the north, led by the Peng family, suddenly entered the northeast of Tai’an City in the second year of Xiangfu, so that the houses in this area, which were already worth every inch of land, became more and more popular. This led to many middle-level Beijing officials who finally saved some money and thought that they could finally stop renting a house to make a living, began to unstoppable, and privately cursed the Liaodong barbarians, not just money, but nothing was the case! As the most important old force in the northeast of the capital, officials from the six ministries of the Shangshu Province did not have any good looks on this and were quite alienated from the newly moved neighbors of the aristocratic people.
This is also normal. In the past twenty years, especially after the old prime minister Biyaner personally presided over the examination, Li Yang no longer deliberately supported the scholars of the Northern Territory in the imperial examination. Therefore, the Southern scholars have occupied at least 70% of the seats with overwhelming advantage, forming a very clear pattern of the north and the south. However, in the ten years after Yonghui before Xiangfu, there was no war in the world, so where did new generals emerge? Naturally, there were more and more southern officials in the temple. The Qing Party, which is known for its unity, is the most prominent example. With the four battles, four squares, four townsMost of the generals from the north were old and old. There would be less and less places for northern scholars to speak in the northeast of Tai’an City. If it weren’t for the fact that there was still a general who was fighting for the Northern Expedition, Ma Lulang, and the officials from the south had not been killed. Otherwise, those northern officials would have been extorted in different ways and were eager to die.
The first thing the Peng family did after buying a new house was to visit the residence of General Enemy, although they heard that even Ma Lulang on the sickbed had not met, they were personally received by Ma Zhongxian, the eldest son of the Ma family.
With the Peng family as the first to make a good start, the collective migration of the two wealthy families in Liaoning was quite smooth. The Minister of War Lu Baijie left Beijing and the main backbone of the Qing Party, Hong Lingshu, seemed to have entered and exited the temple without any losses, but it was obvious that the great damage to the vitality was obvious. In this way, the large-scale entry of scholars from the North to Beijing was very interesting.
The gate of the official’s mansion is higher than the street, which is also a rule that has been followed for hundreds of years. The so-called advancement step in the officialdom is actually the steps at the door, and there are many requirements for the number of steps. According to the Li Yang Law, first of all, the number of steps to build should be determined based on the official height. Only when the sixth rank is not level three, and the fourth rank can it reach level four. This means that both local county magistrates and ordinary generals are in power. Next, if the majority of the six ministers of the six ministries have no special gifts, the mansion will only be five levels, and the six ministers of the six ministries have six levels, and a very few can reach seven levels. For example, Zhao Youling, the former Minister of Personnel, and Sima Puhua, the Minister of Rites, also won this honor. It is said that the Sima family mobilized many people to build steps for the house, the old Minister of the House shed tears on the spot.
Interestingly, in the extremely rare seven-story stairs in the Northeast, it is common in the area where Chen Shaobao and Chen Wang are located. If you have less than six steps, you will be shameless and greet people when you go out. As for level seven, it is very common. Chen Wang’s father-in-law is level seven, and even eighth level like Duke Gao Shizhi of Yan State is not rare. However, all the officials in the capital knew that the steps in the west of the city were all empty, and they were just relying on the ancestors and ancestors and the Zhao family to decorate the imperial court’s storefront. However, the steps in the northeast were actually obtained by the official hats of the last two generations of people. The statement that “the West Seven is not as good as the North Five is rare” is exactly the truth. In the northeast of the capital, there is another saying, “Ma Eight, Yan Seven, Shangshu Six”, which means that most of the Shangshu Mansions here are only at the sixth level, but the Yan Mansion is as high as the seventh level, and the Ma Mansion has eighth level steps of the same specification as the Duke of the Fifth Kingdom!
In recent days, not only has the Ma family’s eldest son Ma Zhongxian often rushed back to the inner city mansion from the East Army of the Gyeonggi, but even the eldest grandson, who often stayed at home and was covered in powder smell, stayed at home and closed to thank the guests.
