Lin Fan was enjoying his wine tasting without stopping him. Not only him, but others were also as steady as a rock. Perhaps they had expected such a scene.
Many years ago, the twenty-three cities of Yunzhou were monolithic, but since Fu Xiu became the prefect of the Qing capital, some changes have occurred.
First of all, although Fu Xiu was strong, he ascended to the throne through family influence and some shady means, and was despised by others. Therefore, even though he had been the prefect for more than ten years, he still could not convince the public.
Secondly, the appearance of Zhao Guizhen, with his strong lobbying ability and the resources he possessed, made many people's original positions somewhat shaken, so two camps were formed, led by Fu Xiu and Zhao Guizhen.
Both Fu Xiu and Fu Xiu's ancestors and fathers were scribes in the Wenfu family, so this camp was composed of the Wenfu family prefects with their roots upright and Miaohong in mind.
The sixteen grand governors present now have almost the same status as Fu Xiu. They came from Wenfu. Therefore, even if they are a little dissatisfied with Fu Xiu, they have always listened to edicts but not announcements. However, they are in the position of being a prefect of Wenfu
Identity recognition can only support Fu Xiu.
After Chen Hemei and some other prefects continued to get closer to Zhao Guizhen, they became vaguely "Zhao family" prefects, so they were rejected by Wenfu family prefects like Lin Fan and Fu Xiu. Naturally, these people present would not speak for him.
.
"Fu Xiu, you killed your brother and your son to get your position unjustly, and you want to use me to establish your authority? Do you think I will cooperate with you?" Chen Hemei said coldly.
"What did you say?"
This is Fu Xiu's rebellion, and it is also the last thing anyone wants to mention. At this moment, he is already on the verge of going berserk. The momentum of both sides is getting more and more shocking. As long as they find a flaw, they will take action without hesitation.
Just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out, an old man with white hair walked into Wangxian Garden with his hands behind his back.
This man has a light and elegant temperament, a fair face and no beard. He is obviously very old, but his figure is straight and his steps are light.
“Young people are very angry.”
After seeing this person, Chen Hemei hurriedly regained her momentum. Fu Xiu was stunned for a moment and then put on a smile, and hurriedly stepped down to greet him.
This man is now the most senior person among the twenty-three city governors, Lu Lian, the governor of Zanzong City. After seeing Lu Lian, everyone stood up to greet him.
"I've met Governor Lu"
"Lu Weng"
"You're welcome, you're all busy with your own business." Lu Lian responded with a smile, very gentle.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here in person?"
Lu Lian's coming was something unexpected for Fu Xiu, and his coming was also a recognition of him.
"After all, I am also one of the governors of Yunzhou. Wouldn't it be a pity not to come to such a grand gathering?" Lu Lian said with a smile.
Seeing that Fu Xiu wanted to help him as a courtesy, Lu Lian hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't be pretentious, you are the leader of the Qing capital of Yunzhou, and you are also the first governor. I am only older. In terms of status, I have to salute you."
There was shock in Fu Xiu's eyes. Because of some changes in the Fu family in the past, Fu Xiu was never able to truly show his majesty in front of everyone.
And Lu Lian's attitude was so low, he was lowering himself in front of everyone to serve as a stepping stone for him, to speak for him and help him establish his authority. This is a great kindness!
"Fu Baoshan is still alive?" Lu Lian suddenly asked.
"I'm sorry for your concern. My father is doing well. He was talking about wanting to visit Zanzong City a while ago."
Fu Baoshan, Lu Lian deliberately mentioned this person to let everyone know that even though the Fu family has fallen into decline over the years, the backbone of the Fu family is still there. Many people have had their own thoughts, and Lu Lian is also trying to remind them that they are so thin.
Camels are bigger than horses.
"Now that everyone has almost arrived, let's get back to business."
A servant hurriedly cleaned up the messy scene just now, and Fu Xiu sat on the main seat.
"The Ehu Club is a grand event for Xuan Kingdom and even Yuling Continent, and there will even be many Palace Lord-level powerful people coming in person.
Everyone also knows that the person who can stand out at the Ehu Conference will not only become famous all over the world, but also represent that the family lineage of this person will rise rapidly within a hundred years. It can be said to be both fame and fortune, and everyone is here just for Ehu.
"Quota for the meeting"
Fu Xiu directly pointed out the reason why these people gathered here. Wenfu is different from other places because the five quotas in Wenfu can be used for trading!
Some extremely talented people come from humble backgrounds. If you recruit them into your family, or directly pay a price to obtain their quota and replace them with your own nephews, as long as you can leave an impression in front of the top powerful people in the Yuling Continent,
It is also very beneficial to them.
"The Ehu Club is the most direct reflection of the strength of a government, and our Wenfu is the only place that can offer such quotas in exchange.
My father expressed doubts about Wei Changli's approach more than once, and even reprimanded him face to face as a prodigal, ruining the great reputation created by the second generation palace master."
Fu Xiu actually directly started to criticize Wei Changli, the head of Wen Palace. As soon as the conversation started, everyone started talking about it.
"That's right. Think about how majestic our Wen Mansion was back then. The Xihe Mansion was not even inferior to the Qing capital."
"If Qingdu is still the most powerful capital in the world, our status will naturally rise with the tide. Why do we need to go to the Ehu Party to steal the limelight and make people laugh?"
In other places, the head of a government has supreme authority, and only in a place with an open atmosphere like Qingdu, can they be allowed to criticize.
"Our Palace Master is indeed unqualified and too weak. Who would take the initiative to give up his position?" When this matter is mentioned, many people feel depressed.
"Take the last time as an example. The people of the Baiyang Sect made trouble with Tai Sui and stole it from our Wen family. If Mr. Daoxuan hadn't turned the tide, I don't know what the outcome would have been."
"To be honest, do you think things will change if Mr. Qi Cifengqi becomes the head of the palace?"
The speaker was the governor of Dongxu City, Zhou Dan!
After Wei Changli took over as the head of the palace, many of his measures aroused great controversy, and his evaluation was polarized. Wei Changli did not suppress this controversy but let it go.
"The master of the palace should have his own painstaking efforts. It's okay to comment, but don't overstep it," Lu Lian said.
No matter how the palace lord behaves, as a prefect, they must not talk about such topics that are more difficult for the palace lord. Even if they have thought about it countless times, they must not bring it up openly.
Zhou Dan also realized that he had made a mistake, so he picked up the wine cup and punished himself with a drink.
However, people with such thoughts are obviously not only Zhou Dan, but also the people in Qingdu are quite critical.
Qi Cifeng is the apprentice of the second-generation palace master, and also the senior brother of that generation. He fights a palace by himself. Not only is he powerful, but more importantly, Qi Cifeng perfectly inherited the inheritance of the second-generation palace master.
