These days, Wang Tingxuan has also received a lot of posts, mostly from colleagues in the Ministry of Industry. Wang Tingxuan has visited a few people with whom he has good friendships. These are all people who work sincerely and have not participated in any fights.
Slowly, Wang Tingxuan's social circle continued to expand, and he was integrated into the social circle of the capital. However, it was a relatively low-end social circle, and most of the people had low official positions.
King Zhongshun often dragged him to participate in top social circles, but Wang Tingxuan was not happy. In ancient times, people had to kowtow to others. In King Zhongshun's circle, there were many royal family members, and there were always those who liked to put on airs.
In addition to this, those powerful people are always trying to figure him out. They obviously want to get benefits from him, and they are still showing off. There are those who are not short-sighted and want to tie him up with marriage. It seems like something It's like a great grace.
As a result, Wang Tingxuan rarely attended those gatherings with King Zhongshun.
Wang Tingxuan was reading a book at home. This was the only copy he borrowed from Lin Ruhai.
Zheng An came to his study and said: "Sir, the concierge received a message from Feng Ziying, son of Shenwu General Feng Tang."
Wang Tingxuan only met Feng Ziying and others once, and the two parties did not have much friendship. Wang Tingxuan could not understand why he came to send greetings?
The post didn't say anything specific, it just said that he planned to come over for a visit this afternoon?
Are there any secrets left?
In this era, greeting cards generally had to include the time and reason for the visit. The host could not wait at home without knowing anything.
Forget it, it is estimated that the probability of coming over to win over Wang Tingxuan is relatively high, and it is not new.
Wang Tingxuan said: "Please help me reply to the post, just say that I am waiting at home."
Feng Ziying came quite urgently. He came over just after Wang Tingxuan had lunch.
"To be honest with Brother Wang, I was entrusted by someone to come here to invite Brother Wang."
Wang Tingxuan was a little confused. It was not a big deal for powerful people to invite each other. Even if they didn't know each other, they wouldn't be so secretive.
"Whoever can invite Brother Feng must be an extraordinary person. I just don't know who has such a big reputation."
Feng Ziying said with some embarrassment: "It's the Prince of Beijing County."
Beijing Wang Shuiluo!
Wang Tingxuan looked at Feng Ziying, she must be a fool.
Everyone in the capital didn't know that King Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan were brothers, and some members of the royal family took advantage of their status to have trouble with Wang Tingxuan. King Zhongshun immediately took revenge and went back without saving any face.
Similarly, it is well known that King Zhongshun and Prince Beijing are at odds with each other. Although they are not at odds with each other, they are almost the same.
Feng Ziying actually dared to invite her on behalf of the Beijing County Prince, and Wang Tingxuan had to say a word of submission.
"Why did Prince Beijing invite me? I don't have any friendship with the prince, right?"
"His Majesty held a poetry gathering a few days ago, and he talked about you during it. His Majesty admired you and wanted to get to know you. In a few days, His Majesty was going to hold another poetry gathering. Knowing that I knew you, he wanted to Invite you over."
This is obviously nonsense.
What is the purpose of the Prince of Beijing holding a poetry meeting? Isn't it just to build momentum for the palace? The people invited are all well-known among the powerful people in the capital, as well as those famous scholars.
Wang Tingxuan did not touch any of these two items.
Besides, Wang Tingxuan's position is that of a military commander, and he has no reputation as a scholar. Who would be a fool to invite him to a poetry gathering?
"Brother Feng, Wang hasn't read many books, let alone written poetry."
Feng Ziying did not give up and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write poetry. I don't know how to write poetry either. Your Majesty, Corporal Li Xian, has provided an opportunity for everyone to communicate. Brother Wang, why don't you give me some face."
Wang Tingxuan shook his head and said: "Brother Feng, there is no need to persuade me. I'd better not go over and make a fool of myself, so as not to disturb everyone's enjoyment."
Just when Feng Ziying was about to say more, Zheng An came to report that Prince Zhongshun had arrived.
Feng Ziying didn't dare to say it, because he didn't dare to offend King Zhongshun.
King Zhongshun waited for Feng Ziying to leave before asking: "When did you become friends with Feng Tang's son?"
"The last time I was wandering on the street, I met Qi Guan, and then I met Feng Ziying."
King Zhongshun nodded and said: "That's it. They don't want to serve the imperial court and just mess around in the capital all day long. You shouldn't have too much contact with them."
Wang Tingxuan asked: "Why is the prince so familiar with them?"
King Zhongshun did not hide anything and said: "Qi Guan is the one I hold dear. How can I not know who he is dating? I also know that they are following that boy Shui Rong all day long."
It seems that Jiang Yuhan's relationship with Shui Rong was not hidden from King Zhongshun.
"Your Majesty, since you know that Qiguan is dating Prince Beijing, what's wrong?"
"Why don't you pursue him, right?"
Wang Tingxuan nodded.
King Zhongshun said: "This also has something to do with you. Originally, I planned to use Qi Guan's matter to fight with Shui Rong. Then didn't I get the wool recipe from you? I have a serious errand, why?
Maybe he's just as crazy as these dudes."
This should be the legendary sense of superiority.
In the capital, Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County has a very good reputation. He is a good example of a powerful person who is charitable and approachable.
As for Prince Zhongshun, he is a typical negative teaching material. He is so typical that the princes competing for the throne are not wary of him. One can imagine the reputation of Prince Zhongshun.
Nowadays, Prince Shuirong of Beijing County is still winning people's hearts in the capital. But Prince Zhongshun has already started doing serious things, and his reputation has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
King Zhongshun does have the ability to look down on Shui Xiong.
"Did Feng Ziying come to invite you to the poetry meeting?"
Wang Tingxuan asked in surprise: "How did the prince know about it?"
"I learned about it from Qi Guan. Yesterday Qi Guan sang an opera for the princess, and I happened to come home, so I met him."
Could it be that Jiang Yuhan is still a spy for King Zhongshun? I really can’t tell.
"Qi Guan told you the news he got from the Prince of Beijing County."
King Zhongshun laughed loudly and said: "How is it possible? Qi Guan is just an actor, how much knowledge can he have? When Shui Rong talked about this matter, he did not hide it from others. I just verified it from Qi Guan's mouth.
"
In this era, the status of actors was indeed not high. But since Qi Guan could tell King Zhongshun the news obtained by Prince Beijing, the reverse could also be done.
King Zhongshun didn't care and said: "Qi Guan didn't get any important news from me. I'm not the fool like Shui Rong who discussed important matters in front of so many people. Did you know that I'm here this time?"
What is it for?"
Who would know, Wang Tingxuan didn't arrange anyone to keep an eye on King Zhongshun.
"Shui Rong sent someone to invite you, but he didn't have any good intentions. His purpose was to win over you."
Wang Tingxuan said nonchalantly: "I didn't agree to his invitation either. Their idea came to nothing."
King Zhongshun didn't think so, and said: "These people don't want to cultivate their own children and grandchildren, they just want to go astray. Shuirong invites you because of others' entrustment. The Duke Xiuguo's family wants to win over you, and they plan to use three methods to win over you."
The legitimate daughter of the concubine is marrying you. I would like to warn you not to be deceived by them."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't agree to them easily."
King Zhongshun was still worried and said, "I'll go discuss it with the emperor and see what he has planned."
