Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 1004
[Chapter 1004]
The group quickly came to the county governor’s mansion. The officials in Yunzhong County had already arrived, and even Jian Taiding was waiting there ahead of time.
It stands to reason that his master’s cultivation base, coupled with the power of his family, are actually above Sang Hong, but he went out of the city to meet him before, and now he is waiting in advance. It really gave the imperial commissioner enough face, and obviously hoped that Sang Hong would return the favor in the future. Give him the title of Duke Yunzhong as soon as possible.
Zuo Su and Jian Taiding, the governor of Yunzhong County, greeted Sang Hong and his party and walked in, introducing them to the corresponding officials along the way. After all, it was too hasty outside the city before, and only a few people showed their faces.
“This is Mr. Xu Yu, don’t drive.” ” I ‘ve been looking forward to it for a
long time!” Zuan looked carefully, this Xu Yu was a middle-aged man with a purple face and a Chinese character face, looking more than the potbellied Zuo Su. Like a good official. Bie Jia is the deputy of the county governor, and also shoulders the responsibility of supervising the county governor and local officials. Because of his high status, he does not ride in the same carriage with the county governor, but rides in one alone, so it is called a chariot. “This is Lord Zhizhong Yuxuan Qingyu.” “It turns out to be Lord Zuopushe’s clan brother, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time!” Zhizhong is almost the third person in the prefecture and county, in charge of the selection of state and county officials and various matters. , Although he is a high-ranking local official, he will not make Sang Hong, who is an imperial envoy, take it so seriously. The reason why Sang Hong was so polite was because the old man in front of him was a member of the Yu family. The Yu family mainly had two rooms. One was an official in the center of the imperial court. The other room was in charge of Yuanshi’s family business at the Yunzhong County Base Camp. This old man was also from the Xuanzi generation, obviously Yu Xuanchong’s brother. It’s just that compared to Yu Xuanchong, Yu Xuanqing in front of him is far worse in terms of cultivation and ability.
The patriarch of the Yunzhong County line passed away early, and now the family is controlled by the daughter Yu Yanluo, but she is a woman after all. Taking care of it, the Yu Xuanqing in front of him is one of them.
“This is Sima Yuxuansu, the governor of Yunzhong County.”
“I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time!”
…
This Yuxuansu is also one of the uncles of the Yuyanluo clan. Looking at these two old men, Zu An fell into deep thought, Yuxuansu fell into deep thought. The power of the family is really big, and the top military and political leaders of Yunzhong County are all their people.
Zuan looked around, originally expecting to see if he could see Yu Yanluo, but unfortunately, when he looked around, there was no such beautiful figure in his memory.
At this time, Sang Hong seemed to be thinking about it with him, and found an opportunity to ask, “Hey, why didn’t you see Madam Yu?”
Of course, he wasn’t greedy for other people’s beauty, but because now Yu Yanluo is a The person at the helm of Yun Zhongyu’s family, and this investigation is about her husband’s disappearance, so I want to take the opportunity to ask him about many things.
This is the moustache Jian Taiding and said with a smile: “My sister-in-law has been feeling the cold recently, and it’s not suitable to go out to see guests. I hope that Lord Sang will forgive me.
” open.
Next, Jian Taiding took Sang Hong to introduce the remaining officials to him, and the others began to greet the rest of the mission.
Gao Ying and Pei You are the most lively in front of them. After all, one has the Liu family behind and the other has the Pei family. They are all first-class families in the capital.
Naturally, local officials like them have to find a way to make good friends with the children of such an aristocratic family.
As for Zaan, everyone just ignored it with a few polite words. Such officials who climbed up from the poor family have never been regarded by these clan families.
The biggest weakness of the rise of the underprivileged children is that they can only rely on the emperor’s temporary favor. Once the emperor is not happy one day, he will collapse.
The big family is different. There are countless children in the family who are officials in the court, and their strengths are intertwined. Even if the emperor does not like it, it is difficult to easily move.
“It’s quite realistic.” Zu An naturally wouldn’t take these to heart, but instead took this opportunity to look at others secretly, especially Pei Shao.
This guy seems to have the intention to match his daughter with the Prince of Qi.
He noticed that there was a young man next to Pei Shao, with a dangling eye and a little cockroach. Naturally, such a person could not be introduced to Sang Hong, but he vaguely heard some low-level officials flattering Pei Shao, this person seemed to be Pei Shao ‘s son Pei Xing.
“Da Manman’s younger brother?” Zaan frowned, is this really his own? Da Man Man is as beautiful as a flower, how did the younger brother have such virtue?
Soon a group of people came to the hall. Because of the cold weather, a roaring bonfire was burning in the middle, and there were all kinds of cattle and sheep on it. The golden oil radiated an attractive light under the illumination of the candles. The air is filled with exotic flavors mixed with spices and grilled meat.
“Sir Sang, please take your seat!” Soon it was time to take the seat. Sang Hong was the imperial envoy, so he naturally wanted to sit on the main seat.
Sang Hong glanced around and saw that everyone had placed Pei You and Gao Ying next to him, while Zuan was further away.
Having lived in the officialdom for a long time, he naturally understands the rules, each seat is not a mess, it is a tacit understanding formed by the struggles and compromises of the major families for hundreds of years.
Although Gao Ying and Pei You’s official position is temporarily inferior to Zu’an, their family power far exceeds that of a poor family like Zu’an.
Under the operation of family resources, it will not take many years for Gao Ying and Pei You to occupy a high position, so it is reasonable to arrange their seats more ceremoniously.
Reasonable is reasonable, but Sang Hong is unhappy. On the one hand, he was born in a poor family, and he suffered from this kind of humiliation in those days. On the other hand, the relationship with Zaan is closer than that of allies. Naturally, I don’t want him. Feeling wronged, he said lightly, “Azu, sit next to me.”
Zu An naturally did his part, and the Golden Sabre Horse sat down beside him.
The hearts of the officials in Yunzhong County stunned, thinking that they seemed to have underestimated the weight of this Zaan before.
At this time, Zuo Su, the county governor, was a little worried. He had only arranged two seats next to Sang Hong before, one for Gao Ying and one for Pei You, but now Zu An occupies one, what about the remaining two?
He knows very well that this kind of family’s children are the most honorable, and surely no one wants to let them. When the time comes to fight, what should he do?
No matter how you distribute it, you are destined to offend the other family.
However, he was quickly relieved that the position was occupied by Zu An, and even if they wanted to hold grudges, most of them were the ones who held grudges against Zu.
If you meet some grumpy ones, you might clash with Zaun on the spot.
For the aristocratic family, the face of the family is more important than anything else, and even the words of the imperial envoy may not be easy to use.
Many officials present had similar thoughts, waiting to see conflicts within them. After all, everyone knew very well that this imperial envoy was here to investigate them, so each and every one of them wanted their team to start a conflict first.
But what surprised them was that Gao Ying and Pei You had no intention of arguing with Zuan at all, and they naturally squeezed in front of another table, as if it was a natural thing in their hearts.
Noticing this scene, Jian Taiding narrowed his eyes and looked at Zaan again.
After the imperial envoy took a seat, others also took a seat.
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, and I saw a big bearded man pointing at an empty seat in the front row: “Which is this seat assigned to?
” In the two rows, Jian Taiding is the leader on one side, and Zuo Su is the leader on the other side, which is also in line with their respective positions.
There are not many seats in these two columns. Each seat is a high-level cloud in Yunzhong County. After them, there are several rows in the outer layer, and those officials are obviously one rank lower.
Therefore, being able to sit in the two columns on the left and right is also a manifestation of honor and status.
Listening to the introduction just now, this bearded man seems to be a member of the Dudu’s Mansion. Although he is not comparable to the positions of the Governor’s Mansion’s Chief History Officer and Sima, he can be regarded as a high-level officer of the Dudu’s Mansion. Sitting in these two rows is theoretically reluctant. Enough.
At this moment, he was angrily staring at Biejia Xu Yu, pointing to a vacant seat next to him and questioning.
Apparently, he was quite upset when he found out that he had been placed in the back, so he directly attacked.
Sang Hong and Zu’an looked at each other. The conflict between the officialdom of Yunzhong County, the governor’s mansion and the prefect’s mansion seemed to be bigger than expected.
Xu Yu said indifferently, “I have an old friend who visited recently, and this is for him.”
“I dare to ask who is the official?” The bearded man replied in a stern voice.
Xu Yu frowned, and finally replied: “No official and no job.”
The bearded man laughed: “Since he has no official or job, what qualifications does he have to sit here? I want this position!
” He sat down, took the wine glass on the table and drank.
Xu Yu’s face sank, and he looked directly at Jian Taiding on the other side: “Lord Jian, this is the position of our county governor’s office. Who do we arrange for? Do we need the consent of the people in your governor’s office?”
Jian Taiding slightly A smile: “Mr. Xu’s words are bad, we are all imperial officials, why should we divide you and me? Yunzhong County’s people are sturdy, and the soldiers regard honor as their life. , if there is any offense, I hope Lord Xu will take a look at Haihan despite his repeated military exploits.”
Zuan curiously communicated with Sang Hong’s vitality: “Uncle, even if there is a grudge between them, it will not be a problem. What kind of trouble does it make on such an occasion? In front of the imperial commissioner, what kind of decency is this?”
Sang Hong replied: “They are deliberately trying to disarm me. Xu Yu is an official sent by the central court, and like me, he also represents the court. Jian Taiding’s ruthlessness is obviously a shock to the mountain. He also showed that before. He has been friendly to me, and now he shows his fangs. The subtext is that if we cooperate with our interests, he will be friendly enough to us; if we don’t know our interests, I am afraid that this Xu Yu’s dilemma is what we will encounter in the future.
” Yu is destined to lose face today.” Zaan felt a little sympathetic, because he subconsciously didn’t like Jian Taiding very much when Mingyue became a suburb.
Sang Hong smiled: “That’s not necessarily true.”
