On this artificial mountain with exquisite stones (Taihu stones) transported from the south of the Yangtze River, piled up into rugged areas and filled with tunnels, stands a giant whale skeleton obtained from the East China Sea, as well as clams and clams supplied from overseas. A small white building made of coral, crystal and other treasures.
In the building, an old man who was described as clear and hale and hearty had just put down the binocular Chichi mirror in his hand. He looked at the owner of the room, Prince Guangling, who looked rich and graceful in a loose brocade robe and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, for the sake of your lord's marriage, , but it took a lot of effort; is this because he deliberately followed the example of Taiwei Xi's choice of son-in-law (Note 1)?"
(Note: "Shishuo Xinyu·Ya Liang", Taifu Chi was in Beijing and sent his disciples to write to Prime Minister Wang to ask for a son-in-law. ...The disciples returned to Bai Chi and said: "All the men of the Wang family are also worthy of praise. I heard that they came to look for a son-in-law. He was reserved, but Yilang was lying on the bed with his stomach open, as if he didn't hear anything. Xi Gong said: "That's good!" When he visited, it was Shao Yi who married a daughter.)
"Young Master really looks up to the little king." King Guangling smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How dare I compare with Taiwei Xi (Jian) and the son-in-law of Wang (Xizhi)'s right army? The story is just picking up people's wisdom, Master From the story of Li (Lin Fu) who was alone for the past few years (Note 2)."
(Note: Li Linfu, the prime minister of Kaiyuan, took advantage of the emperor's intention to neglect the government. He was dictatorial and dictatorial for nearly 20 years. He was said to have countless resentments between the government and the public. However, he was very considerate in the life of his six daughters, which can be called enlightened and generous. Therefore, he often made several people unhappy. A daughter stands behind the window of a high-rise building, and every time a noble family member comes to visit her, she even chooses the one she likes in the window.)
"Your Majesty is too self-effacing. If you don't hear the gains, you will lose. The talents gathered in the garden now probably include most of the families in the east capital." The tall old man smiled when he heard this: He is the origin of Prince Zhongyun of the East Palace. Wang Duo, a veteran minister who once served as an official and participated in political affairs, and finally became an official with the title of Prince and Young Master. He is also a close friend of King Guangling in his early years. Therefore, there is no need to avoid suspicion when speaking. .
"They! For the sake of my family, or because of my little daughter. I'm afraid it's not because of my family's instructions and instructions, so they came to join in the fun of my family!" King Guangling then laughed at himself: " Don't look at this as an occasion for Yu to choose a son-in-law for his own family, it might as well be a fun event specially made for the current princes of the court..."
"That's true, but why did you invite that person over?" Wang Duo smiled again and used his mirror to indicate the direction of the small pavilion for guests to eat and drink; "Don't you know that this person is here?" In the past few days since he came to Dongdu, he has done a lot of big things. With his methods and his role, I'm afraid he will be watched closely inside and outside."
"That was not Xiao Wang's original intention, but the intention of Ouchi. Those who had attended the imperial meeting at the time would have had such an opportunity. Xiao Wang just happened to meet him." Guang Ling, who is rich and well-mannered. Wang, however, smiled bitterly again: "Who would have thought that after Yinhou, he would be involved in such huge rights and wrongs."
As far as he knew, this man was said to be a rare humanoid ferocious beast/enemy of a hundred in this peaceful and prosperous age. Wherever he went, there were big events with corpses everywhere and casualties; The character design and the comfortable and happy painting style are really incompatible with each other, and even somewhat contradictory. But when it came, he couldn't turn it away.
"Your Majesty, this is wrong!" Wang Duo, who obviously knew more than the idle and wealthy Prince Guangling, shook his head slightly and said, "It is precisely because of such a person that we must work hard to make peace with him at the moment. The reason for the win; does the king think that the big and small minks in the palace are just blind people who are greedy for the benefits and connections of being a matchmaker?"
"This?" King Guangling heard this, but he hesitated for a moment and then solemnly rolled up his sleeves and said: "Is it possible that these things at present are really, as those people in Xantai said, difficult to clean up and continue to cover up. They all need the help of these strange people. Do you have the ability of a scholar to cope with the situation?"
"This person is not just an ordinary stranger! Although there are many people in the world who steal and deceive others and gain fame in vain, he is the only exception." Wang Duo waved his hand gently and said, "Who knows when he first appeared? , the Pei Mansion of Daozhengfang, which had always been aloof from Xijing, had to conceal its relationship and origin; it was closely connected with the family. Later, it was really impossible to hide it, and it did not hesitate to build momentum and take action for it. This was just a gatekeeper. Is it justifiable to repay a debt of gratitude from a disciple?"
"Young Master, do you really think so highly of this gentleman? To put it this way, the young king is being slighted..." King Guangling couldn't help but said seriously after hearing this: "When people of our generation seek a son-in-law, we don't need to pay special attention to family status, but we always pay attention to qualifications and character. , Only then can the family survive for a long time. Is there anything new to say now?"
"Actually, what I value more is the general trend of the world that makes this generation come into being or arise due to events." Wang Duo sighed softly and said pointedly, "After all, I have never seen Shuicheng underground transport again." After those things that have come out, who can be sure without a doubt that the current world and situation are still the same as you and I have experienced in the past, and can still remain unchanged forever?"
Of course, there are some implicit meanings that he doesn't need to say directly. After all, the "beast disasters" that are getting louder and louder outside have appeared one after another in this ancient metropolis; it has also caused new changes and anomalies to those who fear and fear the current situation between the government and the opposition; it is determined to maintain the status quo. Fortunately, people can no longer continue to pretend to be deaf and mute and cover up.
To put it another way, if it weren't for the newly established secret censorship department, they accidentally discovered these strange creatures hidden underground while hunting down and searching for the relationship between "Ma Ni". They have been allowed to multiply to such an extent that even the underground city cannot contain them; then how can they, the noble family members in Luodu City, with their status and power, face these alien minions that break out of the ground.
"So, Xiao Wang has failed Ouchi's hard work and accidentally missed one. It may be the connection between Zhou Bi's family and future generations." King Guangling was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he showed his face again and smiled openly. "However, it seems that Jiang Jianxian, who was invited here, may have no other intention?"
"Oh?" Wang Duo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and then he also picked up the binoculars and looked at the small pavilion: However, he also recognized the man's escort next to him, whether it was his movements or his walking. Her posture is more like that of a woman. And the attitude and meaning of the other party bringing a woman with whom he has a lot of connections in this invitational occasion is also very obvious.
However, for people from such a good family, this out-of-the-ordinary behavior is nothing. It's a pity that his family doesn't have any daughters of the right age, and it would be too disrespectful to temporarily adopt the girls from the side clans; otherwise, even if they are concubine children. You can also arrange to have some contact first. It is also good to leave some impression and connection.
"Your Majesty, I know that rumors have been spread in the palace. I am afraid that Jiang Jianxian will not be in Luodu for a long time." Wang Duo, who had just said this, did not want to go too deep into this topic, but turned to And to this old friend, he mentioned another related matter: "I heard that Mr. Hengping, who was on duty, had initiated a ministry meeting in the hall and ordered him to return to Xijing to prepare for the establishment of the secret branch office, in order to continue to check for omissions. .”
At the same time, Jiang Tian was just about to have a unique interaction with Linghu Xiaomu, who had initially expressed his feelings, in a corner where no one was whispering; but he encountered a visitor who took the initiative to talk to him at an inappropriate time. But they were two of the dear friends with whom we had met once and had a friendly conversation while waiting to see Your Majesty.
One is Zheng Wentai, a Peking University student who is known as the "Proud One of Heaven". He is from the School of Economics, one of the two academies known as the best among the best. However, he is serving as a trainee in the General Counselor's Office as a military attache. And Lu Zisheng, who came from the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University but was employed by Yantiesi, one of the three envoys, has an unforgettable appearance.
Among them, Zheng Wentai, who is described as handsome, has a low voice and a slight foreign accent. However, when he speaks, he is concise, concise and well-measured. It is easy to fall in love with him. Lu Zisheng, who has an unusually strange appearance, is quite familiar with his open-mindedness and sharp tongue; he is also good at making harmless little jokes to lighten the mood.
Therefore, Jiang Tian, who was interrupted from his good business, was not very angry. I took advantage of the situation and chatted with them while eating, and we became familiar with them after a long time. Of course, in their words, they showed more interest in Jiang Tian's various experiences in the secret censorship department; obviously they already knew something in advance?
Although these two new acquaintances took the initiative to make friends, it was inevitable that they were talking in clichés; but because of the sincerity and humor of the other party, Jiang Tian did not mind letting out some news and remarks. Anyway, while he was on duty in Jinyong City, he had already written down a thick report record of this kind of thing in detail, with a mixture of brain supplements and research.
Therefore, at this moment, whether you believe it or not, you know everything you need to know about the specific content. Even if some additional details are disseminated, it is harmless. Therefore, these two people listened with interest to Jiang Tian's slightly exaggerated and embellished talk, and were even able to highlight some issues with interest.
"So, the incident of General Pei, one of the Three Great Masters of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, shooting a strange spider in Heluo was not groundless, but had real basis." Hearing this, Zheng Wentai couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "I never expected that such alien species would still thrive at the foot of the divine capital, deep in the underground waterways and mountain gaps."
"Is it true that the story about Shanwuwei Sanzang, the master of the country who was bestowed with the 'Great Dialectics' by the emperor, tamed the giant snake in Beimang and calmed the earth's veins?" Lu Zisheng held up a piece thoughtfully and asked: "Listen It is said that under the public attention of Xiqufanfang, a ten-foot-long snake was dug up on the spot. Does this have anything to do with it?"
