Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Sansi was granted the title of Prince of Liang, so naturally there were many officials appointed by the imperial court in the palace. However, as Princess Taiping said, these people were just decorations in Wu Sansi's eyes. Those who could really be trusted by him were people with clans.  Pro-level managers at all levels.

    As the saying goes, a prime minister's family is a seventh-rank official. Although Wu Sansi is not a prime minister, as a nephew who is extremely favored by the emperor, and he is the king of the palace, his power is no worse than that of the ministers of the political hall.  As the number one confidant of such a prominent figure, Wu Hui's status should not be underestimated even if he is not an official of high rank. No wonder he can use such an arrogant and impressive reputation.  .

    "I'll meet you in the flower hall, Yuzhu. I'll send someone to ask my eldest brother to greet you in front of the mansion." After Tang Song finished instructing Yuzhu, he raised the famous thorn in his hand to Taiping, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, otherwise Princess  Come with me to meet this person."

    "Just him?" Taiping chuckled, his face full of disdain.

    After laughing, Taiping glanced at Tang Song, "Send someone to greet you at the gate of the mansion? Why, are you going to make it difficult for yourself?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After moving his hands and feet and feeling the dull pain from the injuries on his body, Karamatsu smiled faintly, "I'm not feeling well, how can I welcome it?"

    Hearing this, Taiping looked at Tang Song carefully, then pursed his lips and smiled, this smile was particularly charming.

    Although she didn¡¯t know the reason, Taiping clearly saw from Tang Song¡¯s attitude at this time that he was unwilling to take the initiative to get close to Prince Liang¡¯s Mansion. Taiping was not happy about this, but she was categorically unwilling to hide this deep thought.  After being exposed, he smiled charmingly and said: "That's right. That Wu Hui is just a house slave no matter what. Although he is not very old, his status in the poetry circle is really not low. If he is injured, he is still  It would be really unpleasant if word got out that you were going to greet such a domestic slave, and it would make the world's scholars look upon you like Shen Quanqi and Song Zhiwen."

    Song Zhiwen didn¡¯t do anything bad before.  He and Shen Quanqi were both great figures in the literary world at that time, but because they were so obsessed with fame and fortune, and so obvious in their use of all means to curry favor with the powerful, even though their poems were famous all over the world, their reputation among scholars was not the same.  It's really not that good, and it has seriously affected their influence among readers all over the world.  Taiping¡¯s words all come from this.

    "Shen Yunqing has just been released from prison. How about you gain some moral integrity?" Shen Quanqi was previously imprisoned for accepting bribes, and he was recently released from prison and resumed his duties.  Karamatsu said so.

    Although Taiping said it in a joke, the deep meaning behind his words was that he, Karamatsu, began to cherish feathers at a young age.  There is no defense for this, and in the conscience of heaven and earth, he really did not expect this.  It's just because I have always had a bad impression of Wu Sansi, and the real culprit of the assassination case has not yet been figured out.  At this time, Wu Sansi came to the door in person, and Tang Song didn't want to greet him, let alone the leader of his domestic slaves.

    The two chatted for a few more words, and counting the time, Wu Hui was about to arrive in the backyard.  Taiping then stopped his smile and said seriously: "Don't pervert what I just told you, otherwise" Taiping didn't say anything else, and after a chuckle, he was led by a girl and left through the side door.

    If it would be inconvenient for Wu Hui to see Taiping at this time, Taiping would never see him.  Karamatsu wanted to get all of this, so it was no surprise that she took the initiative to leave at this moment.

    Taiping¡¯s figure just disappeared around the corner in the distance.  At the moon gate of the backyard, Shangguan Jin, whose arm had been badly injured for a few days, walked in accompanied by Wu Hui.

    Wu Hui was about forty years old.  Wearing a sapphire blue t-shirt, he is slightly fatter, has a white face and a slight beard, and walks at a very fast pace. In terms of appearance, he is considered to be very good.  But looking at the cold look on his face that he didn't hide at all, or didn't even try to hide, this person's demeanor was far from the salesman.

    Tang Song ignored the cold look on his face and walked down the steps to the moon gate with a faint smile, "I am injured and I couldn't greet you from far away. I apologize."

    Wu Hui, who was standing still, smiled dryly when he heard this, "I think Tang Dushi is walking well now, haha, that's a joke."

    Wu Hui was used to being praised outside, so he was very dissatisfied that Tang Song, a seventh-rank official, did not come to the gate to greet him. He said it as a joke, but the meaning of knocking him inside was very obvious.

    This is the so-called noble slave face. Tang Song really looked down on such a thing and had no intention of chatting with him. He followed him into the flower hall with a faint smile on his face.

    After entering the hall, Wu Hui sat down without waiting for Tang Song, the master, to speak. Seeing him like this, Tang Song had no intention of talking at all, so he sat down and waited for him to speak, so that he could finish his words and see off the guests early.

    "My Prince Liang's love for young talents has long been known to the world. He also regrets not being able to meet Tang Dushi, a young rookie. There were rumors about Tang Dushi's assassination in Duzhong recently. My Highness  I am also quite concerned. Now that I heard that I have returned home, I specially ordered someone to come here to inquire." These words are not bad.But Wu Hui's arrogant tone when he spoke completely destroyed the meaning of his words, especially his flattery that made Wu Sansi give up his hand every time he mentioned it, which was really irritating.

    This is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by later emperors, a Liang Wang, so what!

    After Wu Hui finished speaking, he clapped his hands in a pretentious manner, and the two servants in brocade clothes who came with him came in. Each held a brocade box in their hands, containing a total of four ginsengs, two of which were white ginseng from Mohe.  The two red ginsengs from Silla are probably over a hundred years old.

    Considering that Tang Song was promoted from the seventh rank to the rank of Shangdu Shi, it was indeed a generous gift for Liang Wang Wu Sansi to take the initiative to express this.  So after Wu Huixian opened the brocade box on his own initiative, the look of arrogance on his face became more intense, "These ginsengs are all excellent materials for cultivating vitality and replenishing qi. They can be used in Tang Dynasty to nourish the body."

    Tang Song did not look at the brocade box, but smiled lightly as Tang Hui looked in his eyes and said, "I really don't dare to accept such a generous gift."

    Seeing that Tang Song was still calm and composed in the face of such a generous gift from King Liang, Wu Hui thought highly of him. He waved his hand proudly and said, "I, the King Aicai, don't say these kind words anymore."

    After saying this and taking a sip of tea, Wu Hui started chatting about some new things in the imperial city's officialdom. In a short period of time, he mentioned the names of no less than three officials.  Forty people, and all of these thirty or forty people are young and powerful middle-level officials.  The names of two of them, Tang Songcai, had been seen in more than a dozen files.

    When it comes to this, how can Tang Song not understand its meaning?

    This is again for the official positions vacated by the Fourth Family.

    After understanding what Wu Hui meant, Tang Song frowned slightly. The task assigned by Lu Yuanfang this time was getting increasingly hotter.

    This is the thought.  Karamatsu's heart moved.  He turned around and ordered his servants to bring in Crystal. When Crystal came in, he had already brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

    "These officials are very interesting. I would like to trouble Butler Wu to tell them again so that I can write them down so that I can get to know them in the future."

    After all, Wu Hui has seen the big world. Although the beauty of the crystal made him stunned, he did not lose his composure.  When he heard Tang Song's words again, he burst into laughter.  "Everyone in the Tang Dynasty could hear the elegant meaning of a stringed song, and he also had the heart to make friends. With these two things alone, his future would be limitless."

    I mentioned the names just now again.  After seeing the crystals and writing them down one by one, the smile on Wu Hui's face became even stronger.  After that, he chatted with Karamatsu for a while. While talking about these gossips, his arrogance and the cold look on his face disappeared without a trace. When he talked about some extremely casual topics, it actually made people feel a little like spring breeze.  feel.

    Almost in the blink of an eye.  Wu Hui completed a face change, and his whole demeanor was completely different from when he first met.

    Seeing him like this, although Karamatsu remained unchanged in response to all changes, his faint expression and smile did not change at all.  But in my heart, I secretly lamented that after all, I took this person too simply.

    ¡°With Wu Hui¡¯s age and ability to achieve his current status in Prince Liang¡¯s Mansion, it¡¯s hard to imagine how he could be a shady person.  The kind of person who makes people dislike him at first glance.  The reason why he acted like a slave before was clearly because he was deliberately trying to use his power to overwhelm others.  This is to pave the way for the serious business later.  After the business is finished, let's have a refreshing experience. Between the cold and the heat, all the skills of rubbing people are displayed.

    Although he is just a housekeeper, Wu Hui cannot be underestimated.  Thinking about his master Wu Sansi, he is indeed a difficult master.

    After He Xuli chatted affectionately for a while, Wu Hui stood up to say goodbye. Tang Song stood up to see him off, but Wu Hui reached out first and pressed his shoulder, saying with a smile: "Brother Tang is injured.  The customary etiquette is dispensed with. This way you won¡¯t feel uncomfortable and I will feel at ease. Someday after your injury has recovered, I and my young brother will go to the Song and Dance Shengping Building to have a good time and get close to each other before we say goodbye."

    After saying that, he went straight away with his hands linked behind his back, and even Shangguan Jin didn't let him send more gifts.

    Seeing Wu Hui¡¯s back disappear behind the moon gate, Shangguan Jin chuckled, ¡°This guy is quite interesting.¡±

    Karamatsu nodded, walked to Crystal, picked up the list she just wrote down and read it over, then handed over the list Taiping had given him before, "You should pay more attention to these people in the future.  If there is any new information about them, it needs to be recorded and supplemented.¡±

    Crystal nodded, and after writing down the names of Wu Sansi and Li Lingyue on two pieces of paper, he collected the two lists solemnly.

    This day was destined to be a restless one. That night, after dinner, while Karamatsu was continuing to read the archives in his room, another guest came to visit him.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.? is self-evident.

    This time, it was an acquaintance who came here. Fang Shanqi was still wearing Taoist robes fluttering, and the light of the new moon shone on his body, giving him a vague feeling of being out of this world.

    Seeing this familiar scene, Tang Song could not help but recall the scene when he first met him on a moonlit night in Lumen at the beginning of his time travel.

    Fang Shanqi can actually be regarded as an "old friend" of Tang Song. He is different from others. This is the first time they have met after more than a year apart, so a friendly relationship is naturally indispensable.

    Tang Song was very casual in front of him. After the friendly greetings, he handed over a bottle of wine and asked directly: "Fang Shanren, do you have a list waiting for me?"

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve received a lot?¡± Fang Shanqi asked with a smile. Wasn¡¯t what he handed over just a list?

    Taking over the list and looking at the densely packed names of no less than thirty or forty people, Tang Matsu couldn't say anything except a wry smile.

    "You can rest assured that although these people are all loyal people who care about Li Tang, their Li Party colors are not strong, and outsiders can't tell. Even if they all get promoted this time, they have no intention of letting them down in the short term.  Whatever they do should not affect you."

    When Fang Shanqi said this, Tang Song understood.  Before Wu Zetian came to the throne, she had massacred and purged a group of Li Party clan members and ministers who were loyal to Li and Tang and refused to join her. As a result, the power of the Li Party, at least in the central court, suffered heavy losses.  After Wu Zetian came to the throne, it became more difficult to cultivate the power of the Li Party. Moreover, it was also hit by the demotion of Di Renjie and other eight gentlemen in the "rebellion case" last year. Today, the power of the Li Party has indeed been greatly weakened.

    Under such circumstances, accumulating strength for the future has become what Li Dang has to do. Since he wants to do such a thing, how can he give up the God-given opportunity of the large-scale collapse of officials from the fourth family family in front of him?  However, Fang Shanqi's words also made it clear that these people were trained as reserves and would not be exposed at ordinary times. If Tang Song was really willing to help, this would indeed be an excellent cover for him.

    After listening to Fang Shanqi's words, Tang Song pondered for a long time and then sighed, "Fang Shan people are good friends in my heart, so I will tell you the truth. Since Lu Xinzhong has entrusted this matter to me, I can't bear it.  , I really can¡¯t guarantee anything about this list for you, I can only say that I will do my best, and if the final result is not what Fangshan people want, please don¡¯t blame me for it.¡±

    Fang Shanqi smiled casually, "What you are dealing with is a hot potato. How could I not know? I don't want you to say anything, but the words 'do your best' are enough."

    Tang Song raised the wine bottle in his hand, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.

    The night was already dark, and Fang Shanqi did not stay any longer.  After personally sending him to the door and watching him go away, Karamatsu returned to the room.

    On the way, looking at the crescent moon like a hook and the slanting moonlight as quiet as water under my feet, Tang Song sighed quietly: "What a quiet night when the rain is about to come and the wind is filling the building."
