The family banquet, with the participation of ministers, is also a major attraction in the general's mansion.
This is of course not Wang Yu's original creation. Other princes, and even the former emperor, would also behave like this from time to time, which can be regarded as a part of the emperor's mentality of combining kindness and power.
At first, the civil and military ministers in Qingzhou thought so too, but as time went by, everyone discovered that the Lord's invitation to treat guests to dinner had no deep-seated intention at all, it was just a habit. If we must describe it accurately, he is the kind of farmer in the countryside.
I received an extra three to five buckets, and I was in a good mood. It felt like I was having a drink with my friends from the countryside.
Over time, everyone quickly became accustomed to it, and even gradually formed some tacit unspoken rules. Being able to attend the family banquet in the General's Mansion itself represents a person's identity, regardless of the official position or power, he is qualified to be retained.
Inviting you to dinner means entering the highest circle in Qingzhou.
In fact, Wang Yu just retained some habits of later generations, but what he did was effective, and his inadvertent actions also started a trend.
Nowadays, even business owners who are away from home will invite people from shops or caravans to have dinner at home from time to time. The situation is not so formal, and the topics discussed at the wine table are relatively relaxed, which plays a good role in attracting people.
Close relationship with each other and the effect of uniting people's hearts.
Wang Yu had not expected this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no harm in it. Taking advantage of this trend, he simply launched the round table further.
The etiquette of the Han Dynasty was a sharing system. The host sat on his knees with a small table in front of him. The guests sat on the left and right sides. The tables were arranged in rows according to the number of people. The large space left in the middle was
It is a place where dancers and actors can perform. To put it more vividly, it doesn't feel like having a dinner party, but more like teaching in a large classroom.
Wang Yu is not used to this. If it is a formal occasion, it is okay. These etiquettes will have a solemn and solemn feeling, but if it is like this in ordinary times, it will be too annoying. Chairs and round tables are not very technical things.
Naturally, Wang Yu would not miss it. With a single order, these household items appeared hundreds of years in advance.
In addition to increasing intimacy, the round table also means equal dialogue regardless of superiority or inferiority. In later generations, the round table warriors became famous. Wang Yu did not think so much when he invented this object, but as the round table became popular in Qingzhou,
This meaning was quickly extended by those who were interested, and it was given a sacred color.
Of course, there will definitely be no sprouts of freedom and democracy in Qingzhou now. People pursue the round table mainly out of a sense of artfulness. The ministers believe that this is a way for the lord to win over his subordinates. Although it is not in line with etiquette, it is a right thing to do.
Because it breaks the rules, it is doubly precious and the effect is great.
They had been here for a long time, and Jia Xu and the three of them were quite familiar with each other, and there was no trace of embarrassment or uneasiness in their expressions, especially Tai Shici, who looked completely drooling and lazy, and obviously did not regard himself as an outsider.
Wang Yu sat down first, leaving his left hand to his ministers, and to his right were a group of married and unmarried ladies - only eight of the nine ladies were present. Although Lu Qiling had changed her name to Wang Yu as her husband, she was still attracted by her mother.
The letter frightened me greatly. I was afraid that if I was pregnant before the war, I would not be able to continue leading the troops in battle, so I have been hiding in the barracks for a while and refused to go home.
Wang Yu also let her go, because there were so many wives that he couldn't count them all at the moment. When Jia Xu analyzed the situation just now, he only named seven. As a result, Wang Yu also subconsciously thought that he had seven wives.
When I took a look at the house, I accidentally forgot about Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi...
You can't blame yourself for your poor memory. The key is that you spend too little time with each other and there are too many people. Not to mention those unmarried people, even the way your biological son looks at you is not quite right. He is timid and just looking at you.
Looking at the stranger's eyes, it has been almost a month since I returned home, and I still haven't heard my son call me "Dad".
Wang Yu was also helpless. In his previous life, he often heard some comrades who got married complain that they were on missions all year round. When they came home, their children would not dare to call each other when they met, and they would gradually become strangers if they did not meet each other. At that time,
Wang Yu was not married and had a family, so he could not experience this feeling. He had only heard about it once, but he did not expect that after this era, he would actually meet him.
Wang Yu could only smile bitterly at this situation. He thought that he should stay in Gaotang for at least a year before the next war came, so he could make up for it a little.
Think about it, there may be a reason why the ancients were particularly sentimental about parting and attached to their hometown. In this era, transportation and communication are very inconvenient. People can leave for half a year, and many times they don’t even get a message.
No, if I see too many people during this period, I might really forget about my family.
By the time Wang Yu finished sighing in his heart, the meal was almost over. Everyone was used to the sharing system, but no one gave him food or anything. There is also a saying in the Analects of Confucius that "eats without words, sleep without words", he did not speak.
, others just think that he is thinking, and naturally they will not interfere with him.
There is nothing to say about the dishes of this meal. Just the fact that Xiao Qiao uses the most delicious food to cook the spoons is enough to make people intoxicated. The taste of the dishes is also not inferior to Xiao Qiao's appearance and grace. It is completely impeccable.
At present, what everyone in Qingzhou is most concerned about is the upcoming battle, and the topic naturally revolves around this.
"Both Mr. Pang Degong and Mr. Chengyan have agreed, but Pang Degong's family fortune is not small, and the Huang family in Jingzhou is even more prosperous. Originally, I arranged to leave Jingzhou from Runan, but now Yuan Shu's attitude is ambiguous, and things have become
It’s quite a tricky situation, husband, do you have a good way to deal with it?”
At present, Diao Chan's responsibility in the Intelligence Department has gradually begun to shift internally, but the task of assisting several prominent families in Jingzhou to leave the country involves Huang Yueying. Everyone in the Intelligence Department must go all out, and it is difficult for Diao Chan to avoid suspicion.
In fact, as early as when Pang Tong and Huang Yueying decided to stay in Qingzhou, Wang Yu sent an invitation to Huang Chengyan and others. These people were also very famous. Although they may not adapt to Qingzhou's military and political system, they still had no problem giving lectures.
.
Although the academy is chaired by Cai Yong and assisted by Cai Yan, the former is old after all and has to be distracted by writing the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The latter, as the mistress of Qingzhou, cannot show up at will and always has some hidden worries.
If Pang Degong was here, Wang Yu would not have to worry about the education system. The latter had already opened an academy in Lumen Mountain. Most of the famous scholars from Jingxiang and Xiang had attended lectures at the academy. Needless to say, they were knowledgeable and experienced.
.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang's family, Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin is also a very talented person. What's even more gratifying is that, whether due to historical deviation or something else, Wang Yu learned from Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Jin has not yet served as an official.
.The stalls in Qingzhou are getting bigger and bigger, so the more talents, the better. This buy-one-get-one-free deal couldn't be more cost-effective.
However, he was declined several invitations.
These families can be called aristocratic families. It’s just that the Zhuge family moved out from Langya. The Pang and Huang families are deeply rooted in Jingzhou. How can they give up their hometown’s foundation and leave their homeland so easily?
They are willing to let their children come to Qingzhou, mainly because of the family's survival wisdom, making multiple bets to ensure that no matter which side gains power in the future, their family name and bloodline can be passed down.
Wang Yu would not force anyone who refused to come. Anyway, Liu Biao was a man who was more than conservative and incapable of making progress. When the Qingzhou troops came to Xiangyang City, the eight achievements would be a hopeless situation, so there was no need to be too nervous.
What's more, at that time, he was focused on the Northern Expedition and could not be distracted by these minutiae. Unexpectedly, after the Northern Expedition was settled, Cao Cao came up with a gimmick of dividing the three families, and the plan was implemented thoroughly.
Fa is no longer nervous.
Cao Cao has a record of kidnapping hostages. Pang Tong and the others are becoming more and more important in Qingzhou. If they were to be like Xu Shu in history, they would be killed.
In a sense, Huang Yueying's role is now greater than that of a dragon and a phoenix. The industrial system in Qingzhou that has begun to take shape is completely dependent on the integration and guidance of this gifted girl to achieve the situation it is today. If she emerges,
If there is an accident, the system will not collapse, but it will definitely be impossible to maintain the development speed.
After the sudden change in the situation, the Intelligence Department also took measures as soon as possible. Don't worry about each family, mainly direct relatives should be rescued. People like Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are also experienced in the world and will not be unaware of the problem.
the seriousness of it, and how to choose.
The Intelligence Department finally has some power at its disposal in Jingzhou. It is not too difficult to mobilize and protect dozens of old and weak people from leaving Jingzhou, but it is difficult to cross hundreds of miles of enemy-occupied territory.
Wang Yu originally wanted to drive Yuan Shu away, but he turned out to be like a ghost, unwilling to let him go. If he wanted to solve this dilemma, he really couldn't get around him.
"Just get in touch with Yuan Shu and support him in proclaiming the emperor. It's just a name anyway, so there's nothing to care about." Taishi Ci interjected. Seeing everyone looking over, he was a little flustered, waved his hand and said:
"Otherwise, we can just fool him and say it's okay. Anyway, it's just empty talk. If we regret it later, there's nothing he can do. At least we can get him out first."
Jia Xu shook his head and explained a little bit about this common sense mistake: "Yuan Shu is not cunning, he is just used to being willful and thinks that it is natural for others to follow him, which makes him seem unruly. He also knows that empty words are useless.
Since someone as important as ours is going to pass through Runan, how can he let go of this good bargaining chip?"
"That's true..." Taishi Ci patted his forehead, looking like he suddenly realized something.
Jia Xu ignored him and turned to Wang Yu and suggested: "Now we just want to ensure safety. We don't necessarily have to go to Qingzhou. Although Jingnan is in constant war, Yizhou has been at peace for a long time. Liu Junlang is not an ambitious person. As long as he will
It will be no problem if we are escorted to Yizhou..."
"Liu Junlang?" Wang Yu was startled, wondering who the shameless person was, who actually gave himself such an arrogant name. He didn't realize until he heard the word Yizhou that Jia Xu was talking about Yizhou Mu Liu
Yan Liu Junlang.
"Report..." Before Jia Xu had time to explain further, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. It turned out to be the emergency army reporting.
"Lord, this is an urgent military message from Luoyang!" the guard reported loudly, and everyone was shocked.
Wang Yu's face was as calm as an ancient well, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Send it up!"
"Here!" The guard pushed open the door and entered, holding out the letter with both hands.
Wang Yu opened it and took a look and found that the letter was not a cipher text. It was obviously about the enemy's movements and did not need to be kept secret. He glanced at it and frowned immediately.
"Lord?" Jia Xu asked from the side.
"You should also take a look." Wang Yu handed the letter over casually. When Jia Xu took a look at it, she suddenly gasped.
The rules of the Intelligence Department outside are that if there is urgent military information, a briefing can be sent first, and there is no need to thoroughly investigate it before reporting in detail. This is for the sake of timeliness. This intelligence is just a briefing, with only a few lines on it, which is clear at a glance , the content is quite astonishing.
"...Luoyang formed an alliance with Yizhou, and Cao Cao promised to make Liu Yan's youngest son Zhang emperor, and to return his eldest son Fan and his second son Dan!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster novels. !)
