Turbulent Times Chapter 151: The meat eater is despicable
When Wang Junlin heard the words, he couldn't help but look awe-inspiring. China is a country of etiquette. The space, now that Wang Tong is interested in giving advice because of the new establishment of the Marquis of Qin An’s Mansion and his obvious goodwill towards him, Wang Junlin, but if it is another person, he will be upset because of the series of rude actions of the Marquis of Qin An’s Mansion. He didn't like it, and even mistakenly thought that Wang Junlin deliberately humiliated or underestimated him. From this point of view, what Wang Tong said is still polite.
Imitating Wang Tong's appearance just now, Wang Junlin put his hands on his heart, embraced his chest, stepped in and bowed to Wang Tong, and said humbly: "It was Jun Lin who was negligent, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Wang."
As he spoke, Wang Junlin couldn't help but think that Zhanpeng's commanding guards and ability to do things are very strong, but it is obviously inappropriate to be a housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, including Wu Si, another housekeeper in Gaotai City, who is probably also in etiquette. Incompetent.
"From this point of view, my Qin Anhou Mansion really has no background! I can't even find a housekeeper who understands etiquette."
With deep emotion in his heart, Wang Junlin had already extended his hand to invite Wang Tong to the mansion warmly. Wang Junlin has always been a person who repays kindness with gratitude. Since Wang Tong is full of great kindness towards him, he will reciprocate even greater kindness. As for Wang Tong having other purposes in mind, so what? Anyone who does anything actually has a purpose, but some people have clear thinking and clear purpose. And some people are confused and act according to their ideas.
When they came to the living room, the two sat as the guest of honor. Wang Junlin ordered the people to prepare tea, fruit, and snacks for the guests. The two casually chatted a few words about etiquette taboos. "Junlin, the officialdom is no better than the battlefield. Whoever is strong and who is weak can be seen clearly by raising his hand. The affairs of the powerful and nobles are more complicated than the officialdom. If you accidentally do something wrong, you will fall into a place of eternal doom."
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment. It stands to reason that his relationship with Wang Tong has not reached the point where he can say such heart-to-heart words. These words are quite appropriate for Chang Sun Sheng to say them. But then Wang Junlin sat upright, clasped his fists and bowed to Wang Tong, solemnly said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance!"
Although there are still too many things that I don't understand in terms of etiquette, Wang Junlin has done a good job in dealing with people. And he also knew that Wang Tong's words must be alluding to the fact that Yang Xiong was poisoned to death in the prison.
The respect shown by Wang Junlin made Wang Tong feel quite comfortable, but then he remembered something, sighed again, and said, "Look at your look, Yang Xiong died in Jingzhaoyin Prison You must already know the matter. If I guessed correctly, His Majesty will decree that my official position as Jing Zhaoyin will be dismissed in a few days in order to give an explanation to Yang Su. At that time, I will probably be released to other states as the governor. There won't be many opportunities for you and me to meet in the future. I came to see you today mainly to remind you that with Yang Su's personality, this matter will never be let go. Before, he would probably use official means to deal with you, but now I am afraid it will be different Already."
Wang Tong never said that Yang Xiong was killed by Wang Junlin from the beginning to the end, so Wang Junlin couldn't explain it. Therefore, Mr. Wang must not be discouraged, maybe he will not blame Mr. Wang for what happened to Yang Xiong."
Wang Tong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Wang Junlin's deep eyes, was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said mockingly: "Maybe!"
After saying these three words, Wang Tong seemed not to want to entangle this matter any more. After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Do you know that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the government of all dynasties has been controlled by some aristocratic families. Rootless It is always very difficult for people without credentials to get ahead? But you are the only person who was not born in a noble family and was enshrined as a marquis after the founding of the country."
"The younger generation naturally knows..." Wang Junlin said with some emotion.
Wang Tong seemed to have prepared a lot of things to say to Wang Junlin, so he continued on his own: "The children of real aristocratic families are born with seals. If they want to join the army, they should at least start from the sixth-rank Guoyi captain."
Wang Junlin thought of Pei Yuanqing, this guy was Captain Guo Yi as soon as he joined the army.
"The aristocratic families mentioned by the old man of course refer to the real wealthy families, those who have been top officials in their families, and their students are old and full of dynasties. There will not be more than nineteen such wealthy families in the whole world. This includes our Hedong Wang family. Everyone in the world is proud to associate with a wealthy family like ours, and these families often collude with each other to gain power. Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have known that being in power is not a blessing for the country. But the emperors of all dynasties have no way to solve it."
"So, in this dynasty, His Majesty intends to open an imperial examination, and no matter whether he is high or low, he can pass the examination and be awarded an official. It is to break this tradition. But when this move was proposed, it was strongly opposed by all the powerful families. Even His Majesty was forced to shelve this law for the time being. It was only after this incident that His Majesty began to consciously attack and weaken the power of the aristocratic family in the court. But for several years, the effect has been minimal, and the aristocratic family is still in power now."
"And those who are elected to be officials are either the sons of this family or the nephews of that family. There is no shortage of talents in aristocratic families, but there are more mediocrity and dudes. These guys are not good at governing the country and causing harm to the people. They come one against two, but the imperial court and even His Majesty have nothing to do with them, because if you touch them, it will affect the whole body." Wang Tong shook his head, although he also came from a family, but the Wang family is a real master of Confucianism, pay attention to Therefore, he is very dissatisfied with the current situation and wants to change this situation, but the official cannot be in a certain position and cannot do anything.
"Master Wang is saying that carnivores are contemptible and can't seek far, right?" Wang Junlin, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but sighed slightly, and interjected.
"It's not that the carnivores are contemptuous and fail to seek far-sightedness, but that the rich and powerful families put their minds on how to benefit the family. They don't care about the people and the country at all, and they don't pay attention to morality. They usually end up in pieces!" Wang Tong shook his head with a sneer.
"So, your appearance, or after you have been regarded by His Majesty as a sharp sword to weaken the wealthy family, although you are on the opposite side of the wealthy family, you have gained the support of those of us who are determined to do things. In short, don't think too much about the kindness of the old man, Pei Shiju and others to you." Wang Tong thought for a while and made a final summary, which can be regarded as the true meaning that he wanted to express when he came to see Wang Junlin today.
