"What are you yelling about?" Qian Desheng frowned and glanced at the concubine who hurried in: "Didn't I tell you, don't disturb me when I'm settling the accounts Damn it, where did I go? "
"Master, someone came just now and said he was giving you a gift."
"Give me a gift?" Qian Desheng frowned. The so-called gift is a kind invitation from a person of high status to a person of low status.
If a person with a low status goes to visit a person with a high status, he or she will send a message.
???????????????????????? However, he is considered to be one of the top big businessmen in Luoyang City. Even ordinary officials may not dare to say that they will grant invitations when they invite him.
"Who gave the gift?" Qian Desheng asked.
“I don’t know, it’s not written on it.” The concubine said helplessly.
"I didn't write it, so what's the message? Where should I find him?"
"But there is a cinnabar red seal on it, sir, look at it."
Qian Desheng accepted the invitation in confusion, but when he saw it for the first time, his face changed color instantly.
"In the gift note, there is also a line of words, three days later, the Immortals Pavilion will be waiting for you.
Qian Desheng stood up suddenly: "Where is the person who came to give me the invitation?"
"Already gone." The concubine looked at Qian Desheng in confusion. He was so arrogant before, but now he became so excited. Is there anything special about this cinnabar red seal?
There’s nothing too surprising about this gift card, and it’s even inferior to most people’s famous cards.
In order to show their status and respect, some dignitaries even used gold and silver threads to inlay their name cards.
"This gift card is very ordinary, but the workmanship is very fine.
"Besides you, is there any other person who has seen this gift card?" Qian Desheng asked.
"No more, what happened?" the concubine asked in confusion.
"Then do you recognize this cinnabar red seal?"
The concubine shook his head: "This seal should be very extraordinary, but I have never heard of it. Who would use such a big seal? Is it an official seal? It seems that official seals are not that big."
This seal is square, just as big as the open seal. The font on the seal should be ancient seal script. This ancient seal script is very complicated and obscure. It is said to be words but more like patterns.
Although this concubine said she could read, she could not recognize these characters.
"Don't spread the word about this gift."
“Master, what’s wrong?”
"For the sake of our family, don't ask any more questions. If any news leaks out, our family will be guillotined." Qian Desheng said seriously.
The concubine was also shocked: "How could"
"Don't ask anymore. If you dare to say even a word to others, I will divorce you."
The same thing is happening in the mansions of wealthy businessmen in Luoyang City.
Anyone who can become a wealthy businessman in Luoyang City must have certain knowledge.
“At least he’s not a fool, and this gift is sealed with a jade seal.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever!
This is a mark that no one can ignore. This mark itself is a legendary story.
It is like an integral part of the imperial power, and it is also a symbol of the supreme imperial power.
It is the Chuanguo Jade Seal, also known as Heshi Bi.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, He's Bi was collected into the treasury and later made into jade seals.
It is said that the handwriting on the jade seal is ancient seal script, and it is also the ancient seal script written by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, which is also called bird seal script.
Only the emperor who has the jade seal of the country can be regarded as a real emperor, an emperor who enjoys the destiny of heaven. On the contrary, if there is no jade seal of the country, then he will not be truly recognized.
It can be seen from this that how important the imperial seal is to the imperial power in this era.
In fact, the symbolic meaning of the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo is greater than its practical significance, but no one dares to forge the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo.
Even though the manufacturing process and materials of the Imperial Jade Seal are not as complicated as imagined, no one dares to imitate them.
Therefore, when the wealthy businessmen received this gift card, they did not doubt the authenticity of the gift card, but were shocked by the intention of the owner of the gift card.
However, whether it is a disaster or a blessing, they cannot escape. Even if it is the Hongmen Banquet, they have to go to the banquet.
The invitation has been delivered to the door. If they dare to refuse to attend the banquet, what awaits them will undoubtedly be the execution of their entire family.
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Qian Desheng had been feeling uneasy.
It’s just a blessing, not a disaster, but you can’t avoid it. What should come will eventually come.
Qian Desheng packed up his clothes and headed to the Fairy Hall.
Qian Desheng came to Zhongxian Pavilion and was charged one hundred taels of silver.
Although the charges at the Immortal Pavilion are high, the medical skills are really good. After coming out of the Immortal Pavilion, I got a pair of medicine, steamed it and took it, and I was cured immediately.
Not to mention the special medical center of Zhongxian Pavilion, this building has attracted countless people's attention.
Qian Desheng also knew that a business partner was fascinated when he saw the Immortals Pavilion. He even went to the Immortals Pavilion and wanted to buy the building.
But the result can be imagined, he was immediately kicked out by the people from the Immortal Pavilion.
"Sir, do you want to see a doctor?" At this time, a girl came forward and asked very politely.
Qian Desheng glanced at the girl. She was well-dressed, well-behaved, her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was full of temperament.
Compared to his own children, they are more than ten times stronger. It is said that these children are all disciples of the Immortal Pavilion, and they were all untouchables who were sold before.
But I don’t know how these immortals were cultivated. In just one month, the temperament of these children has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Find someone."
"Looking for someone? Do you have any tokens?" the girl asked.
"Ohdoes this count?" Qian Desheng asked as he took out the gift note.
"Can I let the little lady confirm it?" the girl asked respectfully.
"Please."
After the girl read the gift card, she looked at Qian Desheng again and returned the gift card to Qian Desheng.
"Sir, please follow me."
The girl took Qian Desheng into the elevator, and then arrived at the sixth floor. Although Qian Desheng had been to the Immortals Pavilion before, he had never gone upstairs. When he took the elevator, he was really a little disoriented. Why did he change in the blink of an eye? place?
"Sir, there is a conference room in front of you, please come inside."
Qian Desheng walked across the aisle and came to the conference room, his heart beating violently.
First, he knocked on the door. The sound coming from inside was slightly noisy. It seemed that no one heard Qian Desheng’s knock on the door.
Qian Desheng carefully pushed open the door of the conference room, only to find that there were quite a few people in the conference room, and he knew most of them, as they were the owners of big companies in Luoyang City.
But these people ignored Qian Desheng, who had just arrived. They seemed to be arguing with an old woman on the podium in front of him.
Qian Desheng’s pupils suddenly shrank, this old woman was none other than Wu Zetian?
Qian Desheng had met Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian obviously did not recognize Qian Desheng.
Wu Zetian glanced at Qian Desheng and continued: "Do you not believe in my determination or my ability?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"I invited you all here, not to listen to your flattery. Of course it is the truth." Wu Zetian said matter-of-factly.
"Your Majesty, since you want to hear the truth, I would like to ask your Majesty to forgive me."
"I have said that in this conference room today, we are discussing as equals, not as emperors and civilians. You can speak freely, as long as you think it is right, even if you scold me, I will not Will punish the crime."
Qian Desheng was very curious, what were Wu Zetian and them talking about, and why was the scene a bit messy?
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't believe in your determination or ability, but we think this is simply impossible."
"If even you yourself think it's impossible, then it's really impossible. Even if I want to give you an official position, but you don't dare to be an official, then what's the point of all my efforts? In this case, then I don't I will give up on you. Farmers and craftsmen are also my targets, and I will shift my focus towards them.”
Qian Desheng whispered to the people around him: "Mr. Liu, what is your Majesty discussing with us?"
"Discuss the possibility of us businessmen becoming officials."
"Being an official? Can we be officials?"
"Your Majesty said it's okay, but I find it mysterious."
Qian Desheng fell into deep thought as he listened to Wu Zetian's talk on the podium.
"Are these people speaking too directly? Your Majesty won't settle the scores afterwards, right?"
"Probably not. His Majesty has promised in public that he will not care about us."?No matter how much she argues, she will not punish us afterwards. "
At this time, a young man stood up. Qian Desheng recognized this person as Zhou Niansheng, the young owner of the Hongyun Tavern. He took over the family business at a young age. Now there are as many as twelve Hongyun Taverns in Luoyang City. It can be said that he was young and successful. .
There was a bit of hesitation in Zhou Niansheng's eyes: "Your Majesty, if it is just an ordinary official position, it is not rare for me. Your Majesty must not know that some people are selling officials and titles. With my wealth, I can buy one or two It is still possible to obtain an official title, but for us, this official title has no practical significance other than adding a little bit of glory to our family tree. What do you think, Your Majesty? "
"I know what you are thinking. Do you think I want your money, so I give you a few official titles?" Wu Zetian's lips curved: "If this is the case, then you think too little of me. "Yes, I am not short of money, at least not now. The title I want to grant you is not a false position, but a position with real power, and it does not cost you a penny."
The scene was in an uproar. No one expected that Wu Zetian would actually say this.
"It's just that I'm afraid that you don't dare to be an official or accept this title."
"If your Majesty really dares to appoint officials to ordinary people, the ordinary people will have to go through the official position even if they are in danger of beheading." Zhou Niansheng said with red eyes.
"Although this official position does not require your money, not everyone can do it. What I want is your ability. If you are incompetent and talentless, I will not let you have it even if you exhaust all your family property." (~^ ~)
