Tai Zhuling took the gold post and gave it a symbolic look, then looked gently at Xie Fu, who was also wearing a purple official uniform, and asked softly: "Who is this sir?"
Qin Chuzhen handed over another gold post in his hand: "This one is Mr. Xie Fuxie, the Jiedushi of Huainan Road."
Tai Zhuling's position was only concerned with matters in the palace, but he was not familiar with the officials working outside, so he quickly and respectfully performed the courtesy of dismissing the official.
He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the gift, did you remember it?"
Xie Fu looked around in surprise when he heard the sound, and saw a young official wearing a green official uniform not far away. He was looking at the gold post and busy writing with his head down. Who could it be if it wasn't his cousin Xie Li?
He already knew that his cousin had entered the court as an official and was appointed as Taishi Zhongcheng, but he did not expect to meet so suddenly, and his mood was extremely agitated for a moment.
The thank-you ceremony seemed very busy, as he lowered his head to write. The post of Taishi was originally responsible for recording events, and Taishi Zhongcheng, as the deputy of Taishi Ling, naturally had to take on most of the affairs.
Xie Li bowed his head and wrote in response: "Master Hu, what did you write down?"
"Prince Qi is here!"
He gave a faint thank you. At this moment, everyone was just a name in his eyes.
This sound made Xie Fu couldn't bear it anymore and called "brother".
Hearing this brother, Xie Li's body suddenly froze, and he looked up suddenly. A familiar smiling face came into view. After giving his cousin a slight smile, he lowered his head and continued writing.
Tai Zhuling was shocked. Xie Fu also had a younger brother who was a second-grade official. At this time, a hand tapped his shoulder, which startled Tai Zhuling.
But it was Qin Chuzhen: "Master Hu, can we leave?"
Tai Zhuling came to his senses and said respectfully: "Prince Qi, thank you for your invitation."
Because the palace banquet was very grand, it was set in the Hanyuan Hall where grand celebrations are held on weekdays.
The two of them walked towards Hanyuan Hall along with the crowd of officials.
Xie Fu asked: "Is it easy to be bullied as an official in the palace?"
Qin Chuzhen smiled: "Xie Li's appointment as Taishi Zhongcheng was recommended by the emperor's brother, and Taishi Ling is not an old fool. Mr. Hu has little contact with Xie Li's official duties, so he doesn't have eyesight." Then he added: "But now he has eyesight.
Already."
Xie Fu Xiaoxiao, being a high official means that relatives around you will not be bullied. This can be considered a benefit, but there are also many disadvantages.
"How is the relationship between Brother Xie and your cousin?"
"I grew up with my cousin. My cousin is a pragmatic, loyal and talented man who can contribute to the country's security. He is most afraid of being exploited by evildoers."
"Haha, I will keep Brother Xie's words in mind today. I have been granted the title of king. If it were not for my duties, I would not stay in the capital. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I am afraid that I will have to return to the fiefdom. If the thank you gift is not satisfactory, I
Please ask him to help me manage the place."
Xie Fu asked implicitly: "Brother Qin, don't you have the ambition to fight for supremacy?"
Qin Chuzhen smiled: "To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's also fate. Many things can't be forced."
What they needed to say, the two of them already wanted to express it clearly to each other.
The imperial city is really big. The two of them walked a long way to get to Hanyuan Hall. At this moment, there were already many guests in the hall, including ministers from the court, envoys from all over the world, literati, famous artists, famous singers and actresses.
They were chatting and joking in small groups, and there seemed to be no distinction between them, at least at this moment.
Fortunately, the Hanyuan Hall is very spacious, so spacious that it can almost be used as a training ground for soldiers. Otherwise, so many people would be like dumplings, squeezed one by one.
Although the palace banquet is not the beginning at this moment, it is a very important communication. Here you can meet people you would not normally see and get to know people you would never talk to. It can be said to be a large-scale worldly affairs and fame fair.
Some officials who don't like to communicate often come on time to avoid such contact.
Xie Fu is a foreign official, and there are all new faces in front of him. It can be said that he doesn't recognize any of them.
Seeing Qin Chuzhen's arrival, many ministers came over to say hello.
Most of them are people who have official contact with Qin Chuzhen on weekdays. These people have practical work, but their official positions are not high, and they are all below the third rank.
A small number of them hold high-ranking positions and hold idle positions.
Qin Chuzhen introduced these people to Xie Fu one by one.
When Mr. Xie was solemnly introduced, all the ministers were surprised. Mr. Xie was the only governor at the palace banquet tonight, and he was a real powerful minister.
Originally it was the King of Qi who should have come to support Xie Fu, but in fact the existence of Xie Fu, a powerful minister, gave the King of Qi enough face.
Xie Fu didn't know that he was already famous in the court. After all, there were as many Jiedushi in the world as he could count on his fingers, and the Jiedushi of Huainan Road was the most special one.
Just then someone shouted: "His Royal Highness is here!"
The prince Qin Chucheng came over with the support of the ministers. He was accompanied by the prince's young master, officials from the Zhanshi Mansion, officials from Zuo Chunfang, officials from You Chunfang, and more than a dozen officials, large and small, all officials from the East Palace.
This situation is almost like the arrival of the emperor.
After all, the prince cannot be compared with the prince. After all, there is only one prince, who has an independent and complete government organization. His power position is only lower than that of the emperor, and he controls almost half of the world.
High-ranking officials and powerful people came forward to speak one after another. Even those with low-level official positions wanted to come forward and impress His Highness the Crown Prince, but they were not able to do so well.
Compared with his enthusiastic attitude towards Qin Chuzhen just now, Prince Qin Chuzhen can be said to be the star in the moonlight.
Qin Chuzhen saw Fu Xie looking at Prince Qin Chucheng and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, why don't you come over and say hello."
Xie Fu was actually looking at Cui Sanfei next to Qin Chucheng. Although Cui Sanfei was Qin Chucheng's best friend, Cui Sanfei had no identity in this situation.
Xie Fu smiled: "His Royal Highness is supported by all the ministers around him, so why bother with me."
Qin Chuzhen said: "Brother Huang is generous, good friends and valued guests, and is very popular among high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but..."
Xie Fu asked: "But what?"
"However, there are many ministers who are rigid and often write to the emperor to accuse the emperor of his brother's misbehavior."
Xie Fu asked deliberately: "What do you think, Brother Qin?"
Qin Chuzhen smiled and said: "This is not something I have the right to manage. I only need to take care of myself, be a minister, think about national affairs, and seek the interests of the people."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Fu looked at Cui Sanfei and asked: "Why is Cui Sanfei here?" This is a palace night banquet, not a place for playboys to have fun.
"Master Cui has just been promoted from the Crown Prince's Attendant to the General Manager of Zhanshi Mansion."
"Oh, no wonder I dared to challenge you on the street a few days ago."
Qin Chuzhen smiled bitterly: "He dared to challenge me before, in Jinling, Brother Xie, you have seen it."
Cui Sanfei also saw Fu Xie and whispered in Qin Chucheng's ear.
Qin Chuzhen looked in the direction of Xie Fu, showed joy, pushed aside the crowd and walked directly towards Xie Fu.
On such an occasion, how could Mr. Xie be rude and salute: "Your Highness the Prince?"
Qin Chucheng smiled and said: "Tonight's palace banquet is mainly about joy. There is no need to be polite to thank you. It's better to be casual."
When Xie Fu saw this, he thought to himself that the brothers were on guard against each other, framed each other, and had no feelings at all. They were not as good as him and his cousin. This imperial family was really cruel and ruthless.
Qin Chucheng then solemnly introduced Mr. Xie: "Let me introduce to you all, this person is Mr. Xie Fu, the Jiedushi of Huainan Road."
"Master Xie is a capable minister as an official, and he is also a good friend of me in private. I was warmly received by Master Xie when I was on official business in Suzhou."
Saying this is equivalent to announcing in front of others that Xie Fu is his.
All the ministers around Qin Chucheng expressed their admiration to Xie Fu, but Cui Sanfei only smiled slightly and did not talk much.
On today's occasion, Qin Chucheng couldn't care for Xie Fu alone. He showed his enthusiasm and after chatting for a few words, he said loudly: "It's almost time. Everyone, please take your seats."
While Qin Chucheng was walking away, Qin Chuzhen approached Fu Xie and whispered: "My father is very taboo about the royal brother having close contact with military generals. Brother Xie needs to keep a low profile to avoid being suspected of forming a clique."
After all, the prince already has the six guards of the East Palace in his hands. If he controls other military powers, his power will exceed that of the emperor.
Xie Fu smiled and looked at Qin Chuzhen. It would be easier to deal with Qin Chucheng alone, but what you have to deal with is your father. As the prince, all the power Qin Chucheng has was given by the emperor.
Qin Chucheng whispered to Cui Sanfei: "Why is your brother like this? Every time I touch his cold ass with my hot face." Apparently he was still worried about being rejected as a gift to Hu Ji last time.
Cui Sanfei smiled and said: "Your Highness, my eldest brother is this kind of person. You are surrounded by people who are flattering you. Do you feel that you lack such a person who is upright and dares to give loyal advice?"
Qin Chucheng chuckled and suddenly turned to Xie Fu and said, "Master Xie, you have just arrived in Chang'an and are not familiar with many places. How about this? I will arrange for Sanfei to accompany you."
That would be the best. You can speak frankly in front of Cui Sanfei, but Qin Chuzhen has to speak half-covered because of his special status.
Densely crisscrossed seats are distributed on both sides of the hall, leaving an open space more than ten feet wide in the middle for singing and dancing performances.
The royal relatives, civil and military officials, celebrities, celebrities, and famous actors of Daguan Kingdom were arranged to sit on the left side.
Sitting in the uppermost row on the left are the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, who are nearly seventy years old. They are all mentors of the emperor. They are of the highest rank and receive generous salaries but have no real power.
Next came the crown prince, Tai Tu, Prince Tai Bao, a group of princes, princesses, and princes with different surnames.
The next step is the order of the minister, the servants of the minister on the left and right, the prince's young master, the prince's young master, and the prince's young protector.
Xie Fuzheng's second rank, his position was arranged very cleverly. He was below these few, but above Zhongshu Ling and Liu Bu Shangshu, as if he was mixed among the powerful officials.
Sitting on the right is the envoys of all nations. Xie Fu, who is sitting in the front row, looks at the various fancy attires on the other side. He can tell which envoys they are from the way they serve.
Cui Sanfei still introduced them one by one like Xie Fu.
At this moment, a pink and gold figure walked into the hall. The person who came was a young and beautiful girl, wearing a gorgeous dress, with a tall and exquisite figure. The golden skirt embroidered with phoenix was like golden scales splashing in the water as she walked.
A long sword hangs from the waist, adding a bit of sassiness to her charm.
Behind the girl was a handsome young man, who followed the girl with his head lowered and looked honest and courteous.
Everyone focused their attention on the beautiful scenery of the beautiful girl, but Xie Fu focused his attention on this honest and handsome man. He was slightly surprised, Brother Su!
