The slaves in this Weishui Manor are obviously not ordinary slaves.

They advance and retreat in a well-arranged manner and arrange the people in each family properly. It can be seen from this alone.

They are not simple.

Obviously it is unlikely to be someone from Xie Tai.

They should be from aristocratic families, but it is unclear which aristocratic family they are from.

Today's banquet is in the main hall.

But the space inside the main hall is not enough.

It stretches out from the main hall and can even go to the bank of the Wei River.

There are a lot of fire pits and things to keep out the snow around.

As Wang Sheng, of course he was arranged in the main hall.

But it’s not the first place in the main hall.

But it's also a front-row seat.

There were not many people here at this time, but among the people who came, we could see quite a few literary giants.

For example, the twenty-four friends of Jingu, Zuo Si, Pan Yue, Lu Ji and Lu Yun all came.

Among them, Zuo Si's position is above Wang Sheng, and Pan Yue, Lu Ji and Lu Yun's position is below Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng didn't have any objections to this arrangement.

Although Zuo Si did not have much power in the court, his influence among the scholars was considerable.

In addition to Zuo Si, Wang Sheng found that Lanling Duke Wei Xu was among them, and Situ Wangrong was also in the forefront.

There were many ministers in the court who were also invited.

Wang Sheng frowned slightly.

He soon discovered it.

Most of the people here are from aristocratic families.

The second is Han Su who is helpless and helpless.

The celebrities and favored ministers around the emperor like Wang Sheng seem to be out of place here.

It can be said that the people in the room are all frustrated people.

Except for Wang Sheng and a few people from aristocratic families.

There is no doubt that these people in Weishui Manor are definitely a force in the court.

And it is a force that is not weak.

Especially Situ Wangrong and Lanling Gongweixuan.

Behind these two people, there is a big family.

The Queen Mother invited so many people...

Aren't you afraid of the emperor's wrath?

In the face of power, family ties are sometimes very fragile.

Even if father and son kill each other, and brothers turn against each other, these are all very normal things in the face of power.

The love between mother and child...

Is it reliable enough?

People gradually arrived.

Wang Sheng drank wine silently on the side, trying to look as low-key as possible.

But Wang Sheng wants to keep a low profile, but there are people who don't want Wang Sheng to keep a low profile.

For example, Situ Wangrong.

"Marquis Guangyuan stayed at the palace last night. It was really a majestic gesture."

Wang Sheng glanced at Wang Rong and said, "If Situ Mo wants to say these things, I'll just give you my perfume business."

To deal with the iron rooster, of course money comes with practicality.

And perfume is a hugely profitable business.

It was originally a joint venture between Wang Sheng and Wang Rong.

But now that Wang Sheng saw Wang Rong's face, he still didn't know what he meant.

He just wants some benefits.

"really?"

Wang Rong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course it's true."

This Wang Rong really did not live up to his expectations.

"If that's the case, you and I have already exposed what happened before."

Wang Sheng rolled his eyes.

Don't say it has been revealed.

The losses you suffered are probably not worth even a fraction of the perfume business.

Of course, the reason why Wang Sheng was so generous and transferred the perfume business to Wang Rong was not without reason.

The days of peace in the world will not last long.

Luoyang will be in war sooner or later.

In times of war, when everyone is thinking about survival, who would think about buying perfume?

Furthermore, doing business is what businessmen do. Wang Sheng was personally involved in it, so it was inevitable that he would lose some of his status.

In the future, Wang Sheng will have other business to do, and he will have to leave it to his subordinates.

Just control the whole situation from behind.

After sending Iron Rooster Wang Rong back, Wang Sheng gained a moment of peace that he had not seen for a long time.

However, this calm did not last long.

Somehow, Wang Sheng felt a malicious look in his eyes.

Turning his head to look at that malicious look, Wang Sheng immediately discovered the owner of this look.

Yang Zhen.

The current leader of the Hongnong Yang family.

This guy's resentment towards himself really can't be solved with just some perfume.

but...

Wang Sheng may not be afraid of Yang Zhen.

Now in Luoyang, Wang Sheng's power is much greater than that of Yang Zhen.

A poor family, although the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

But if Wang Sheng dares to provoke him when the camel is about to become too thin to die, Wang Sheng will not mind letting the camel really turn into a dead camel.

Wang Sheng is fully capable of this.

certainly...

There is also a price to pay.

Furthermore, if Yang Zhen really annoyed him, Wang Sheng could use the power of the photo studio to keep Yang Zhen's life in Luoyang.

It might be difficult to kill people like King Zhao, but to kill Yang Zhen, people like Lin Chao might not even need to take action.

Seeing Wang Sheng raise his head, Yang Zhen snorted coldly and sat back down.

Soon, Xie Tai, as the host, also slowly walked to the main seat.

Xie Tai is just a Marquis of Guannei. Regardless of his character, talent, or qualifications, he is not qualified for this position.

but...

After adding the identity of a relative of the Queen Mother, he was sitting on the main seat, which did not seem so out of place.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

It's just that the painful lessons learned from the Han Dynasty were thoroughly implemented in Cao Wei.

The Western Jin Dynasty was originally like this.

But there was a Janan wind.

With Jian Nanfeng as her senior, Queen Mother Xie saw how much benefit power can bring to a person, and now she also wants to be the second Jian Nanfeng.

but...

Unlike the previous emperor, he was a fool.

The current emperor is not a fool.

He is determined to make progress, even though he takes things for granted.

He is so full of spirit that he even wants to fight with aristocratic families.

In front of this emperor, it is basically impossible for the Queen Mother Xie to be like Jia Nanfeng.

But Queen Mother Xie didn’t want to be a complete Jia Nanfeng.

As long as she can achieve half of Jia Nanfeng's power, that will be enough for her.

However...

This half of Jia Nanfeng's power...

The emperor wouldn't give it either.

Sima Yu has experienced the feeling of not having rights, so his control of rights is very pathological.

If you want to take some power out of his hands...

It's difficult.

but...

It is not that Queen Mother Xie has no chance.

The queens who were in power in the early Western Han Dynasty were Lu Fei, Dou Shi, and Wang Quan, plus Wei Zifu in the first half of the period.

The basis for their involvement in politics was that their interests were highly aligned with the emperor's in the first half of their lives, and they were the emperor's first allies. However, their families themselves were poor families, and the emperor promoted their family members, who were related by marriage internally and externally.

The favor of the emperor and his ministers is a trusted force worth relying on. After all, in certain periods, the emperor has to deal with those meritorious generals and clan forces. These "father-in-laws" and "brother-in-law" who come from poor backgrounds are the best forces to make use of.

Moreover, they are the closest relatives of the next generation of monarchs. When the former emperor dies and the young ruler ascends the throne, it is often the best time for the relatives to consolidate their power, because they are even more aligned with the interests of the new emperor than the Queen Mother herself.

Because at this time, the paternal clansmen surnamed Liu were potential threats to the throne. Only those with foreign surnames, as court officials, and as maternal blood relatives, were the most active and effective supporters of the young emperor's rule, which also reassured the young emperor.

They overthrew the old clan power and became the new dominant force in the political situation (either with or without). At this time, the foreign relatives' family was no longer the grassroots and enterprising people it once was. It had been passed down to the second or third generation, and the lost

The original sense of worry has not yet formed the intellectual accumulation of the children of the aristocratic family, and they have become outright playboys. When the little emperor has matured and the society has gone through the turmoil of the change of power and needs a new round of political system renewal, the foreign relatives will become

Reactionary forces that need to be overthrown.

The current Queen Mother Xie came from a humble background.

Her father is just a butcher.

There is still no news.

The only relatives she had were Xie Tai and her nephew.

There are very few people who can use it.

In addition, the clan is now very powerful, so it would be great if there is a foreign relative who can control the power.

If the emperor reused them, Empress Dowager Xie's power would definitely increase.

As for Queen Wang Huifeng, because she was born in the Langya Wang family, she would not be trusted by the emperor.

Even trust can lead to suspicion.

"Everyone."

Just as Wang Sheng was thinking wildly in his mind, Xie Tai's words came out slowly.

"In one month's time, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday. Although the late Emperor passed away not long ago, this matter should not be a big deal, but the intention is still there. Therefore, I am holding a poetry meeting here in order to present a wonderful poem to the Queen Mother.

.”

The so-called poems are nothing more than to please the Queen Mother.

Wang Sheng was not interested in trying to please the Queen Mother at all.

He is now an important minister beside the emperor.

The reason why I went to visit the Queen Mother was just to maintain a good relationship with the Queen Mother.

He didn't want the Queen Mother to resent him and speak ill of him in the Emperor's ears,

That's all.

But Wang Sheng is not interested in trying to please the Queen Mother, which does not mean that others do not want to please the Queen Mother.

Especially those who originally followed Jia Mi, but now have no hope of official career. It would be great if they could please the Queen Mother and rejuvenate their official career.

Lu Ji was the first to stand up.

Lu Ji was the grandson of Lu Xun, the prime minister of Sun Wu, and the son of Grand Sima Lu Kang. Together with his younger brother Lu Yun, he was collectively known as the "Er Lu". After Sun Wu's fall, he became an official in the Sima regime of the Jin Dynasty. He served successively as Pingyuan Internal Historian, Jijiuer, and Writer.

But as Jia Mi lost power, all his efforts in Luoyang were in vain.

As foreigners, their life in Luoyang was not easy.

Now, it is even sadder.

but...

As long as you climb the high branch of the Queen Mother, you still have a chance.

"I have a poem below. Although it cannot be used as a congratulatory poem, it is quite charming."

"Lu Pingyuan please."

Xie Tai had obviously done his homework before coming.

Lu Ji coughed twice and immediately sang:

“If you are thirsty and don’t drink the water from the stolen spring, if you are thirsty and don’t drink the water from the stolen spring, you will be thirsty and hate the yin of the wood.

How can an evil tree have no branches? People with lofty ideals work hard.

When the whole army is in charge, the command will be carried out in a distant place.

Hungry tigers den, and cold birds live in the forest.

The sun returns the merit before it is built, and the time passes and the years carry the yin.

Chongyun approaches the shore and is frightened, singing in the wind.

Quietly speaking, at the bottom of the deep valley, the high mountains and high mountains are roaring.

The sharp strings have no sound, and the bright knots are difficult to pronounce.

Life is not easy, Hao Yun opens this path?

You care about me, I look down upon you and feel ashamed of the past and the present."

This poem written by Lu Ji is a poem about Zhi.

"A sharp string has no sound, and a bright knot makes it difficult to make sound." This means that a taut string on an instrument cannot produce a soft sound, and a person with high moral integrity is like this sharp string. He often speaks out when talking about problems, and often does not comment on them.

What the king likes is not tolerated by the world and cannot be recognized.

As soon as Lu Ji's poem came out, it immediately touched the pain in everyone's hearts.

They are today.

Is it not that he is disliked by the king and not tolerated by the world?

"Shiheng, I wonder what the name of this poem is?"

"Tiger March."

Tiger's Journey...

Pan Yue murmured to himself, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"What a tiger's journey."

Of course Xie Tai didn't understand poetry, but now that he heard the cheers from everyone, he knew that Lu Ji's poetry was good.

"Lu Pingyuan's "Tiger Walking" is really like a tiger. It must be a good poem. I will definitely present it to the Queen Mother later."

Tell the truth.

Of course, he didn't understand what was so good about this tiger.

If you give him a limerick, maybe he will feel better.

"Since Brother Shiheng already has pearls and jade in front of me, I will present my humble work."

Pan Yue stood up and walked slowly.

"Being alone is sad and longing for peace, life is like the morning dew.

Mian Miao is sent to the end of the world, and my attachment is to ordinary times.

Since your love comes to pursue you, my heart will also care about you.

The distance between the body and the body is not reached, and the essence is in the middle.

There are no pine trees on the mountain, so it's hard in the middle of winter.

There are no Lingjian cypresses, and the weather remains cold every year.

There is no need to hope for sparseness, but it will become stronger when we are far away."

The atmosphere in Nei Gu's poems is much lower than that in Lu Ji's poems about expressing his ambitions.

Xie Tai frowned slightly.

He organized a poetry meeting in the name of celebrating his birthday, but these poems and poems are all about the same thing.

but...

Tolerate...

Xie Tai still had some smile on his face.

"Pan Gong's poems are indeed good, but after all, they are birthday poems for the Queen Mother, this..."

Of course Pan Yue heard the underlying meaning of Xie Tai's words.

"It's just what I feel. If the Queen Mother doesn't like it, I can write other poems."

Lu Ji and Pan Yue are among the best people in literature and art today.

Especially after the two people failed to achieve their goals, the source of this creation also came out gurglingly.

Qu Yuan, the founder of "Chu Ci" and the first great patriotic poet in history, was born in a noble family and shared the same surname as the King of Chu. He had a rich cultural upbringing, lofty political ideals and a dedication to fight for them.

.

He hoped to assist the King of Chu and make the motherland prosperous and strong. He advocated the internal cultivation of laws, united Qi to resist Qin, and formed an opposition to the pro-Qin faction in the court. Because the King of Chu was incompetent and listened to slander, he was gradually alienated by the highest ruling group and was finally defeated.

leading to the fate of exile.

During his exile in Jiangnan, he wrote a long self-narrative lyric poem "Li Sao" with mixed sorrow and anger.

Li Bai was a talented poet born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His poetry creation was full of passion and imagination, which was both majestic, unpredictable and natural.

When Li Bai was young, he wrote to Anzhou Pei Changshi and Han Chaozong, hoping to recommend him.

In the first year of Tianbao's reign, he was summoned to Beijing to serve as a member of the Imperial Academy, but he was soon slandered by the powerful officials in the court. In the third year of Tianbao's reign, he was forced to leave Chang'an with the reputation of "granting gold and returning it".

During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai, who was eager to serve his country, joined the shogunate of Yong Wang Li Lin. He was also imprisoned for "rebellion" during Suzong Li Heng's crusade, and Yelang was exiled for a long time.

Later, he wanted to join the army to serve his country, but was unable to do so due to illness.

Others who have had this experience include Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi and others.

Many of their literary achievements are due to their own unsmooth experiences.

Just like the current Pan Yue, Lu Ji, Zuo Si, and many more unsuccessful scholars.

Yang Zhen...

Maybe it counts as one.
