As the head of the nine concubines, and favored by the emperor and empress, she did not complain at all as soon as she entered the palace, but she felt much more at ease than when she was at home or in the Han Dynasty.
This is undoubtedly a change brought about by power, and the palace is the source of power. If she leaves there, she will have nothing. It can be said that this trip made her feel a lot.
Of course, she had to invite her cousin to sit with her before leaving.
……………………
Wang Qing did not come alone, but invited Wang Lu, the governor of Taiyuan County, to accompany him.
“I haven’t been back for many years, and it’s still the same here.”
Walking in the courtyard of the main house, Wang Qing sighed with emotion.
Wang Lu smiled, knowing that this was not a good thing, so he followed the words and said: "The uncles in charge of the Wang family have always followed the policy of staying the same and responding to ever-changing changes. No matter the wind or rain outside, I will remain firm.
.
I remember that when I was young, I planted a camphor tree with my brothers of the same race when we were studying in Xiyuan, and we agreed to meet again when we became successful. I came here to attend the funeral for my uncle some time ago, and I even went to take a look. The camphor tree had grown, but Xi
The number of children studying in the garden has become sparse, and the Wang family motto read is still the same as before.
Whether it’s change or not…it’s really hard to say.”
What he said was not a good thing. The trees have grown, but the talents have withered. For a prominent family like the Wang family, this is an extremely low comment.
Moreover, this phrase comes from the Zhuzhi tribe, which makes it even more ironic.
The two of them spoke very tactfully, and the Wang family members who accompanied them just smiled. Regardless of whether they understood or not, they just pretended that they did not understand the implication.
Speaking of which, the current reputation of the Wang family in Jinyang is not small. Wang Ze, the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, Wang Zhibian, the general of Zuoyuwei, and Wang Lu, the prefect of Taiyuan, are all serious members of the Wang family.
Although Wang Tong died, he was a true great figure in the literary world. He was well-known as Wen Zhongzi and was respected by literati all over the world. He was also the mainstay of the Confucianism and Rites school in the pre-Sui Dynasty.
His continuation books, continuation poems, Yuan Jing, Praise to the Book of Changes, Book of Rites, Music Theory, etc., can all be said to be treasures of Confucian classics. Unfortunately, many of them were lost during the wars in the late Sui Dynasty.
Later, his disciples Yao Yi, Xue Shou and others imitated Confucius' disciples and wrote a book called "Zhongzi Shuo", recording his questions and answers with his disciples. After the book was completed, it was sent to Chang'an and hidden in the Guanwen Hall, and later transferred to Chang'an Academy.
This shows Wang Tong's high status in the contemporary literary world. Later generations even listed him as one of the five sons of the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, which also affirmed his contribution to Confucianism.
Wang Tong's younger brother Wang Ji was also remarkable. Although he was addicted to alcohol, his accomplishments in poetry and poetry have gradually been recognized by literati. His landscape and pastoral poems have rigorous format, melodious rhythm, and are full of luan and phoenix groups.
Flying, I suddenly see the beauty of a wild deer.
Now he has returned to Chang'an and is serving as a subordinate to the imperial edict. In fact, he does not involve himself in secular affairs. His main job is to drink. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the Secretary's Supervisor to revise the history of the Sui Dynasty with Wen Yanhong and others.
The above are all members of the Wang family. Some have famous names spread throughout the world, or hold high positions of power. It is rare for a big family in the world to have such power. They have once again established the Jinyang Wang family's world-famous family, clothes and clothes in disguise.
The reputation of the clan.
But the embarrassing part is that these people have established their own businesses one after another, and their dissatisfaction with the main branch of Jinyang is palpable.
For example, the Wang family successively invited Wang Lu, the governor of Taiyuan, and Wang Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, to return to the main residence to stay, but they were rejected without hesitation.
The funeral arrangements for Wang Cong were also very unsatisfactory. Wang Ze, Wang Zhibian, Wang Ji and others did not come back at all.
The members of the Wang family were very polite and felt that it was a bit embarrassing, which further increased the gap between the main branch and the side branches. Wang Qing, the general manager of Bingzhou, and Wang Lu, the prefect of Taiyuan, entered the house. The elders of the family avoided seeing each other, which was quite contemptuous.
, I guess I wanted to give them a little color.
But they haven't thought about it carefully. Since the Wang family attaches great importance to etiquette, but now treats senior officials of the clan indifferently, wouldn't it mean that they have lost their sense of proportion?
Wang Qing and Wang Lu didn't think anything of it. They didn't want to see those nagging Wang family elders, so they just wanted to have some peace of mind.
The main residence of the Wang family was not unfamiliar to them, so they wandered to the main hall of the Wang family, but the person accompanying them smiled and led them to the side hall.
Wang Qing and Wang Lu were both a little surprised when they looked at each other. The Wang family were full, right? Zhaoyi was meeting guests here, and the people he met were all high-ranking officials from Bingzhou, so they didn't even use the main hall.
?
Wang Qing couldn't help but laugh. It seems that when he was in charge of Bingzhou's major affairs, he wanted to let some people know that he, Wang Qing, was no longer the young boy who allowed himself to be arranged by his clan. If he was treated lightly, someone would be dismissed from office.
The second time, someone's head will fall to the ground.
Wang Lu didn't look good either, but he had served in Taiyuan for many years and was much more familiar with the affairs of the Wang clan than Wang Qing, so he naturally knew who was causing trouble.
What I want to do is to talk about the clan members later and replace those old guys who are always looking for trouble.
……………………
When they arrived at the side hall, Wang Qi had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When the two came in, they immediately greeted them with courteous courtesy. Wang Qi returned the greeting and seated the guests and hosts respectively. The people accompanying Wang were blocked out of the hall.
There is no need to greet each other, Wang Qi said: "Uncle, the eldest brother is busy with official duties, so I will not be polite. I will leave for Beijing soon. Before leaving, I have something to say to you two. If there is anything inappropriate in it, you two should not do it."
Blame me."
Both of them nodded, and Wang Qing said: "We are not outsiders. We will listen attentively to Zhaoyi's advice."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "We are all relatives, so naturally we are not outsiders. I have only been back for a few days, but I have already heard a lot about the right and wrong among the Wang family, so I want to say a few words before leaving.
You two are in charge, and you are in a place like Jinyang. You must be more cautious in your actions. With Mr. Chen in front, you must follow suit more and never harm justice with personal feelings, otherwise it will be tiring.
It is also harmful to the Wang family’s name.”
These words were a bit redundant for Wang Qing and the others, but they did not expect that Wang Qi would start with this matter, and he was so outspoken. It seemed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the Wang clan?
Wang Lu moved uneasily, but said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Zhaoyi, I have been in Taiyuan for many years and know what's appropriate."
Wang Qing did not open his mouth, thinking that he would probably listen to the opposite, harming justice with personal feelings. He, Wang Qing, had a deep grudge against the leader. If he took the opportunity to retaliate, would he be one of them?
These words of advice seemed to be directed at him. After pondering for a moment, Wang Qing looked up and met his cousin's eyes. Wang Qing nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.
Wang Qi then continued: "There is also Jinyang Academy, which is being built a little slowly... You two need to be more attentive and recruit more talented people from Jin to join. If this is done well, the Supreme Master will definitely be very good."
