2.51 Prince Wu Xun, discussion at the reception

Now that the bottom line has been decided, there is nothing to say about the rest of the details. Wei Xu simply took Shi Xiangyun and Baozhu there together, as if he was leaving relatives at the end of the year.

Then it was a New Year's greetings of hello and me, plus a special visit to Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, having a meal together at noon, and finding a reasonable reason to go home that afternoon.

Wei Xu really wasn't in the mood to grind his teeth with this old lady from Jia's mansion who couldn't do anything except house fights.

Anyway, since he resumed contact with Jia's mansion, he has never seen her go out, probably because he has been locked up at home for too long, and his brain is filled with water, right?
It is said that after he took people away, the old lady was so angry that she didn't even have dinner, because when she left, she only said hello to the first room of the Rong Mansion, and no one talked to the second room except Shi Xiangyun during the whole process.

Of course, having no communication with this old lady does not mean that it has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion, especially when Jia Lian fully recognized Wei Xu's ability.

For example, a few days later, in the inn at the foot of Niutou Mountain, the VIP courtyard.

"Brother Wei, we haven't had a drink together for a while." As soon as Wei Xu entered the door, he heard Niu Ben's signature loud voice.

But if you really think that he has a rough personality and a straightforward temper, then you are really screwed. In fact, his father Niu Jizong is the same. He looks like a martial artist on the surface.

"This is the first time I've come here today. Brother Wei has a huge property." Feng Ziying obviously has a different focus from Niu Ben, and is very envious of the surrounding area.

Today's Tongfu Inn has completely completed the construction and decoration, and the standards are all in accordance with later generations. Even the management and personnel were directed by Wei Xu, and Zhou Yunyang completed the details.

The avenue going north from the south was originally in the southeast-northwest direction. When you arrived at Niutoushan, you could only turn west and north along the foot of the mountain, and finally merged into the avenue north again to enter Beijing.

Tongfu Inn is located on the roadside at the foot of the mountain, with ten rooms and two floors facing south. The first floor is the hotel lobby and boxes, and the second floor is ordinary guest rooms.

The inn also has a backyard, including personnel dormitories, warehouses, kitchens and other functional places are placed in the backyard to ensure that the front looks cleaner and tidy.

It's just that no matter which floor, the rooms are divided into two by a corridor in the middle, which happens to be a lobby with an area of ​​ten rooms, ten boxes, and twenty dormitory rooms.

There is no doubt that whether it is meals or accommodation, this capacity cannot accommodate even [-] percent.

Therefore, in the Niutou Mountain behind the inn, from the foot of the mountain to the top, there are [-] sets of small courtyards for VIPs, which are specially used for those caravans, escort teams, and nobles to travel.

These small courtyards also set up service personnel, and even the food is provided by another kitchen, which basically has no contact with the front desk.

This time, Jia Lian was the convener for the gathering of the children of the Bagong Group at the end of the year, and Wei Xu was in charge of arranging the reception, because for the time being, there was no way to arrange banquets in the city.

The reason is actually as mentioned earlier, the assassination incident at Tiewangshan caused too much damage to the royal family, so Emperor Yongzheng specially decreed that all banquets and gatherings should be stopped except for weddings and funerals.

As for the time, three months for the common people, and a whole year for honorable officials, and the decree was issued directly without discussing with the cabinet, which shows the mood of Emperor Yongzheng.

It's a pity that in terms of the entire feudal society, the imperial court's control over the country is really what it is. The cities are fine, but the vast countryside is completely out of control.

Because the feudal society emphasized that "imperial power should not go down to the county", the lowest level of court officials only went to the county, and all the lower levels were managed by the squires and clans, even the county magistrates may not be able to speak well.

In terms of the current "imperial decree", the restaurants in the capital have suffered a great deal of bad luck, and many of them who are not strong enough simply closed their business in advance, waiting for the limelight to pass.

But as long as you leave the city, don't say anything, anyway, no one will take the so-called "ban" seriously, and you should still eat and drink.

Probably because of this reason, since the iron net mountain incident, the data of official Xungui going out of the city for "outing" has doubled and doubled since the iron net mountain incident.

For example, in this small courtyard now, almost all the second-generation children of the entire Four Kings and Eight Dukes camp have arrived, and there are more than 30 people crowded in the bustling crowd.

"Haha, brother Feng has good eyesight, and this is the place to eat in my younger brother's hands. If there is any arrangement in the future, just say hello." Wei Xu pretended not to understand what he meant.

Feng Ziying's tone is obviously thoughtful, because the Feng family has no title inheritance, it only started from Feng Tang's generation, and the background is quite ordinary.

In terms of money and income, the reason why the Feng family has the same status as the historians is also a reason, that is, they are not rich.

After guessing the exposure from Jia Mu last time, Wei Xu thought about it repeatedly. There is nothing to say about the fact that there is an inner ghost in the Bagong Group. The key is who it is.

Based on the backward analysis from the original work, in addition to the big one like Jia Mu, the eldest son Feng, who seems to be loyal and heroic, is one of the most suspicious people.Because in the original work, he is also obviously on good terms with Shuirong, the king of Beijing, and Shuirong is undoubtedly a traitor. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups." This is nothing more than that.

But now there is no evidence to say that General Feng Tang is still the commander of the [-] Battalion of the Beijing Camp and one of the pillars of the entire Xungui Group, so he can only pretend not to know.

Pretending to be ignorant does not mean that there is no lump in his heart, at least after Wei Xu became suspicious, he never had anything to do with one of the "Four Heroes of the Red Chamber".

Probably Feng Ziying also saw the problem, so after several unsuccessful invitations, the relationship with Wei Xu remained at the level of nodding acquaintances.

After some hip-hop exchanges, everyone was allocated seats according to grades. It is impossible for so many people to squeeze into one room, and four tables were divided into four tables.

The main table is naturally the eight princes plus Wei Xu, Feng Ziying, Hou Fei, and Han Qi, exactly twelve people, which means that the entire core of the eight princes has arrived, and there is no need to elaborate on the other tables.

The wine table is never for eating and drinking, so after three rounds of wine and five flavors, a group of top second generations officially entered the communication session.

"Brother Wei, our situation is much better now than in previous years, and I would like to thank you for your guidance." Niu Ben spoke first, "My father asked me to ask, but do you have any suggestions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table laughed, because so many people present were descendants of various families, but none of them was as idle as before. The title of a thousand households.

"Right now, our situation is that nothing is worse than nothing, because we have gained enough this year, and it is not suitable to make any big moves.

Not to mention that this world belongs to the Tian family. Although we and the nobles are on the same day as the country, there are some things that are okay to fight for. If we do it, it will not end well.

Brothers, I have heard a sentence and I just want to share it with you. "Wei Xu smiled and raised his wine glass, "That's 'the ground is shaken by a weak foundation'!" "

The wine table was silent.

Now that it is confirmed that there is an inner ghost among the people present, Wei Xu has been more careful in his words. Even if these things are passed on, there is no big problem, because everyone does it like this.

Not only martial arts, but also civil servants. There have been many conflicts between "monarchy" and "prime minister" in the past dynasties, so that at the most serious time, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang revoked the prime minister position.

"Brother Wei, do you want to stabilize it for a few years first?" Liu Dong asked hesitantly.

"It's hard to say when, anyway, there's no rush, everyone is young." Wei Xu's words made everyone laugh, "As for the timing, it's actually not hard to say.

Dashun court officials are divided into nine ranks, and generally those who enter the fifth rank or above are considered the middle ranks. As for whether the upper ranks can enter, it depends on everyone's ability.

The brothers here today are at the very least level [-], but everyone must know how difficult it is from level [-] to level [-]. I mean to go up first.

After everyone has entered the middle level, and our brothers have also obtained official positions in the same year, everyone will talk about upward things, otherwise, they will go up, and there will be no one under them to use! "

These words, Wei Xu deliberately ignored Jia Lian, because he is still hanging around at home with the vacant title of a concubine, waiting for Jia Amnesty to arrange after marriage.

"Indeed." Jia Lian nodded.

"One more thing is the martial arts competition that was originally arranged. I hope you brothers don't relax. Don't forget that the Jiannu mission never left!" Wei Xu suddenly remembered something and added another sentence.

The others looked at each other, and finally nodded in approval, because they all have positions now, and after being officials for such a long time, they also understand a lot of things that they didn't understand in the past.

The simplest one is that no matter how high an official you are, if no one under your command can use it, it is just a rubber stamp that can only be placed on the stage, and it is useless at all!
The so-called "contest" is the same, the political significance is far greater than the practical significance, and you must not lose!

Now that the tone has been set, the rest is easy to talk about. A drink lasted from noon to afternoon, and everyone drank and walked out against the wall. Only Wei Xu's physique is strong, and the situation is better.

It is definitely not possible to return to the city at this time, but there are plenty of places to live around, so arrange for them to live first, and we will talk about things tomorrow.

Wei Xu, on the other hand, had a sudden movement in his heart and subconsciously picked up the jade pendant. When he returned to the room and put the jade pendant on his forehead, a new "image" was playing.

A new traversable world has opened!
