The most important thing to enter the officialdom is to rely on yourself. As an official who is going to make great achievements, how could Yuan Yuezhi just hang himself on a tree like Sima Daozi?
He couldn't reach the first-class aristocratic families, and he didn't want to reach out to them at all. There were also children from small and medium-sized aristocratic families and poor families in the court, but their official positions were all in the middle and lower reaches.
Generally speaking, first-class aristocratic families, such as Wang Xie, look down upon them. These small and medium-sized aristocratic families work independently and are not united enough.
Most importantly, they often lacked enterprising spirit and did not intend to make a difference in the Jin Dynasty, which was firmly controlled by aristocratic families.
For them, they are lucky to be able to get an official position under the control of aristocratic families.
Compared with many people of the same clan, he is definitely a leader and a superior person.
Yuan Yuezhi, who was not valued by the aristocratic family like them, took a fancy to them, and through his strong social skills, he brought these people together, and a new force was about to be formed.
Yuan Yuezhi is well aware of the drawbacks of this kind of power.
There are many people, and the composition of the characters is also very mixed. It seems to be a broad alliance, but in fact it is very loose internally.
It is normal for each person to have their own agenda. If he wants to unite such people, Yuan Yuezhi must find a reason to unite them.
It would be best if the lower-level officials share the same hatred.
"Yuan Canjun, how do you manage this job?"
"Where are the messengers from Prince Langya's Palace?"
Yuan Yuezhi greeted several guests and finally welcomed his first acquaintance.
Zhongshu Lang Fan Ning was born in the Fan family of Shunyang, and was a member of the middle-class family that Yuan Yuezhi favored.
As a family that migrated to the south in the middle period, the Fan family managed quite well in the Jin Dynasty, better than their peers, although they could not win better official positions.
"There are too many guests, and King Langya is too busy, so I'm coming over."
"It's all a small errand, it can't be troublesome for me." Yuan Yuezhi saluted with his archer's hand. When he met an acquaintance, he would of course have to chat more.
"Ayu, I haven't seen you for a few days, how have you been?"
Fan Ning was not pretty, and her mouth and eyes were one size smaller than others, but she was still elegant and chic. Because her skin was smooth and smooth, she was nicknamed "Ayu" by her peers.
Fan Ning had no objection to this inelegant nickname. He smiled happily: "Of course it's not bad."
"Didn't you see that you were able to get into the banquet hosted by King Langya?"
"That's right." Yuan Yuezhi was noncommittal.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer guests in front of the door, he immediately pulled the young man next to him forward.
"Yue Zhi, this is a national treasure, and I am still his elder!"
Wang Guobao stepped forward and saluted with a smile. Yuan Yuezhi took a closer look and took a deep breath.
"Brother Guobao is indeed a fairy-like figure!" After seeing Wang Guobao's appearance clearly, Yuan Yuezhi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Wang Guobao, a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, became famous in the court not because of his outstanding political abilities, but because of his good looks.
"Yeah, the ancients often said that one has a dazzling appearance. I didn't believe it before, how could there be such a person in this world. Since the national treasure has grown up, I have begun to believe it."
"The national treasure is my nephew." Fan Ning pulled Wang Guobao to his side and introduced him attentively. The national treasure bent down and handed over his hand, smiling and saying: "Uncle, you are polite."
"The mother of the national treasure is my sister."
Yuan Yuezhi nodded, that's it.
The two chatted for a while, and then Fan Ning took Wang Guobao into the Langya Palace. The moment he stepped through the door, Fan Ning turned around and gave Yuan Yuezhi a look.
Yue Zhi immediately understood and nodded.
Guests came and went, some seemed enthusiastic but actually walked in calmly, while a few received special treatment from Yuan Yuezhi's eyes.
Jingle Bell……
Jingle Bell……
The crisp ringing of the bell, accompanied by the firm and sonorous footsteps of the Yuyi Team, gradually approached.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Yuan Yuezhi had excellent eyesight. He saw Sima Yao's frame from a distance and quickly shouted to report the news. Sima Daozi in the courtyard was thinking about it.
Judging by the time, it's almost time to arrive.
"finally come!"
Sima Daozi quickly ran out to greet him.
Including Xie Shi, Wang Gong and others, important officials of the imperial court also gathered around Sima Daozi early.
Although they are all plastic friendships, we are all decent people, and the opening scene will still be done well.
The chariot was swaying, and all the guests were anxious, but the people on the chariot were not anxious at all.
It cannot be said that everyone is not anxious. At least, Zhang Guiren, who frowned, must be in a bad mood.
Along the way, although Queen Wang didn't say a word, Zhang Guiren still felt oppressed.
She is not a person who gives in easily. In the past, although she often provoked the queen, the queen was either very angry with her or would not accept the challenge at all.
There is no challenge. Gradually, Zhang Guiren no longer takes Wang Zhenying in his eyes. He is just a weakling!
No threat at all.
However, today, on the day of my twenty-fifth birthday, things seem to have completely changed.
"Where did you get those golden hairpins on your head?" As he was about to arrive at the palace, Sima Yao finally said something to Wang Zhenying.
It is absolutely impossible for him to send her away, not only because he hates a certain woman and has no desire to do so. More importantly, Sima Yao simply does not have such financial resources.
The Jin Dynasty was poor!
It was barely enough to be able to support him alone. He hadn't seen his favorite Zhang Guiren, and he hadn't gotten into such a decent outfit yet!
"This, I had it when I entered the palace a few years ago, but I never had the chance to wear it. It has been sitting in a box gathering dust for a long time."
"I thought it would be a rare opportunity to celebrate the birthday of a noble person today, so I wore it."
"When entering the palace?"
"Wasn't that three or four years old?" Sima Yao was very surprised. As the direct daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, there was no way to describe the pomp and circumstance that Wang Zhenying had when she entered the palace.
The dowry alone was packed into more than a dozen carts. It was precisely when he saw this magnificent pomp that Sima Yao immediately lost interest in this woman.
She was just a woman arranged by a noble family and forced him to marry her. She was tough and boring.
Precisely because of his lack of concern, Sima Yao knew nothing about Wang Zhenying's dowry for many years.
Wang Zhenying nodded: "It's been about this long."
It was precisely because they were not familiar with each other that Wang Zhenying easily coaxed them over. Zhang Guiren became angry and sneered: "Queen, you are lying. Look at the quality of this gold hairpin.
It’s just newly built.”
"It has not been stored for several years at all!"
Zhang Guiren looked at Wang Zhenying provocatively, with his chin raised to the sky.
How about it?
I saw it!
Wang Zhenying didn't care about her making things difficult at all. It was just a small trick, nothing to be afraid of.
"The noble man is complimenting me. The noble man is deeply favored by the saints. The food he eats is the best. Not to mention the jewelry that is a woman's favorite. It must be specially made for the noble man."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to comfort me. This headdress of mine is really old."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" After hearing Wang Zhenying's words, Sima Yao immediately became angry.
"I'm so poor, how can I have the money to make such expensive jewelry for her!"
Isn’t this just fun of me?
Thinking of her difficult financial situation, the golden hairpin on Wang Zhenying's head became more and more dazzling. The little apology that had just appeared suddenly disappeared.
