On this rugged artificial mountain made of exquisite stones (Taihu stones) transported from the south of the Yangtze River and filled with tunnels, stands a giant whale skeleton obtained from the East China Sea, as well as clams and corals supplied from overseas.
, a small white building built with treasures such as crystals.
In the building, an old man who was described as clear and hale and hearty had just put down the double-barreled mirror in his hand, and looked at the owner of the room, Prince Guangling, who looked rich and graceful in a loose brocade robe.
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... When his disciples returned to Bai Chi, he said: "All the men of the Wang family are worthy of praise. I heard that they came to look for a son-in-law.
Since he was reserved, only Yilang was lying on the bed with his belly open, as if he didn't hear it. Xi Gong said: "That's good!" When he visited, it was Shao Yi who married a daughter.)
"Young Master really looks up to Xiao Wang so much." King Guangling smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How dare I compare with Taiwei Xi (Jian) and the son-in-law of Wang (Xizhi) Youjun?"
It is wise to follow the story of Li (Lin Fu) alone for many years (Note 2)."
(Note: Li Linfu, the prime minister of Kaiyuan, took advantage of the emperor's intention to neglect the government. He has been dictatorial and dictatorial for nearly 20 years. He is said to have countless resentments between the government and the public. However, he is very considerate of the life of his six daughters, which can be called enlightened and generous. Therefore, he often makes 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 Dongdu clan." Hearing this, the slender old man smiled and said:
He is the origin of Prince Zhongyun of the East Palace. Wang Duo, a veteran who once served as an official and participated in political affairs, and eventually became an official with the title of Prince and Young Master, 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 come to join in the fun of my family!" King Guangling then laughed at himself: "
Don’t look at this as an occasion for me to choose a son-in-law for my 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 pointed with a close-up mirror in 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 in Dongdu, he has done a lot of big things, and with his methods and his role, I'm afraid he will be watched closely from inside and outside."
"That was not Xiao Wang's original intention, but an idea from Ouchi. Those who had participated in 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 and relationships."
As far as he knew, this man was said to be a rare humanoid ferocious beast/enemy of a hundred people in this peaceful and prosperous age. Wherever he went, there were corpses everywhere and major events involving casualties and casualties; the wealthy and idle king he worked hard to maintain
His character design and his comfortable and happy painting style are really out of place, and even somewhat contradictory. But when he comes, he can't turn him 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 origins 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 now, as those in Xantai said, are beyond control and can continue to be covered 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 their fame 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;
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 slight..." 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 by doing so can a family be immortal 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 came 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 is no need for him to say some of the hidden meanings directly. After all, the "beast disasters" that are becoming more and more popular outside have appeared one after another in this ancient metropolis; it has also made those who fear and fear the government and the opposition
There are new changes and anomalies in the situation; people who insist on maintaining the status quo can no longer continue to pretend to be deaf and mute and cover up and whitewash it.
To put it another way, if it weren't for the newly established secret censorship department, when they were hunting down and searching for the relationship between "Ma Ni", they accidentally discovered these strange creatures hidden underground. They continued to multiply and grow to such an extent that even
The underground city cannot be contained anymore; then how can they, the officials and nobles 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. Maybe Zhou Bi's family will benefit 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, probably has no other intention?"
"Oh?" Wang Duo couldn't help but was stunned when he heard the words, and then he also picked up the binoculars and looked at the small pavilion: but he also recognized the man dressed as a follower next to him, whether it was his movements or his walking.
The posture is more like that of a woman. And the other party brings a woman with whom he has a close relationship to this invitation occasion, which shows his attitude and meaning is also very obvious.
However, for a family like theirs, this out-of-the-ordinary behavior is nothing. It's a pity that his family does not have 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 children of a concubine, it would be good to arrange some contact first so as to leave some impression and connection.
"Your Majesty, I know that rumors have been spread in the imperial court. Jiang Jianxian may not have been 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, I 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 a 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 an untimely visitor who took the initiative to talk to him. But it was the visitor who was in the corner.
While I was waiting to see Your Majesty, I met two of them whom I had met once and had a friendly conversation with.
One is a student from Peking University who is known as the "proud son of heaven". He is from the School of Economics, one of the two colleges known as the best among the leaders; Zheng Wentai, who is a trainee in the General Counselor's Office as a military attache. And he is from the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University.
However, one of the three envoys, the Salt and Iron Division, was a companion, Lu Zisheng, who had an unforgettable appearance.
Among them, Zheng Wentai, who is described as handsome, has a low voice and a slight foreign accent, but his words are concise, concise and well-measured. It is easy to like him. Lu Zisheng, who has an unusual appearance, is a bit spontaneous.
She is open-minded and cheerful, and has a sharp tongue; she 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. He took advantage of the situation and chatted with them while eating, and they became familiar with each other for a long time. Of course, they were secretly aware of what Jiang Tian was doing in their words.
He also showed greater interest in the various experiences of the Censorship Department; obviously he already knew something in advance?
Although these two new acquaintances took the initiative to make friends, it was inevitable that they would be clichéd; but for the sake of the other party's sincere attitude and witty speech, Jiang Tian did not mind letting out some news and words. Anyway, he is in this kind of thing.
During Jin Yongcheng's duty, he had written a thick report record that was as detailed as a novel, with a mixture of brainstorming and research.
Therefore, at this moment, whether you believe it or not, you already know everything you need to know about the specific content. Even if you spread some additional details, it is harmless. Therefore, Jiang Tian told everything with a little exaggeration and embellishment.
These two people listened with great interest, 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 sighed in surprise:
"I never expected that this kind of alien species would actually 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?"
