Upon learning that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming to express condolences in person, the Wang family's residence suddenly became extremely busy again.
First, dozens of domestic servants walked out with sticks in their hands, trying to clear the entrance hall of the mansion. His Royal Highness, the crown prince, came to express condolences in person, but it was always difficult to enter the house through the side door.
However, because there were so many guests who came to express their condolences, the front door of Wang's house was already jammed with cars and horses.
In such a chaotic and noisy environment, the guests and servants were already full of irritability, and they were pushed and expelled by the powerful slaves who rushed out of the house. They couldn't help but start fighting and arguing, making the door even more chaotic.
The sound of fighting and noise reached the house, which immediately made the Wang family even more sad, angry and angry. They couldn't help but mobilize more slaves to rush out to suppress the riot and expel the idlers.
Fortunately, the guests were not completely indifferent. It was a courtesy to come to express condolences, but there was no need to make a big fuss at someone else's funeral. So under their respective restraints, the situation gradually came under control, and there was only one road for carriages and horses to enter and exit.
The channel can be cleared.
"Why is Mr. Anping traveling? There is no need for you to pay homage to the nobles. Please return to your tent quickly..."
There was a moment of silence in front of the door, but the inner courtyard became noisy again. Wang Mao, the son of Wang Meng, walked out in mourning clothes, preparing to welcome the prince, but he was quickly pushed back by some polite guests.
At this time, the guests who had already entered the house to express their condolences also needed to form queues to welcome the prince. However, due to the official rank of each guest and the endless discussions and disputes, they could not be arranged in queues.
In fact, when a minister of Wang Meng's rank dies, the court will send officials who are familiar with etiquette to preside over the funeral. But Wang Meng passed away yesterday. Because of his close relationship with Daxingtai, the court also sent envoys to China.
The state inquired about the specifications of Ai Rong, so a ceremony official had not yet been appointed to preside over the ceremony.
Even if there are no ceremonial officers sent by the imperial court, most wealthy families still have tribesmen who are familiar with human relations and allusions to greet and support them first. However, Wang Meng's family is suddenly more expensive than the Western Dynasty, and the quality of the tribesmen is still difficult to match such a human scene. It is inevitable for a while
All kinds of chaos.
With the help of Lu Rou and others who came to express their condolences, the guests in the house finally lined up in order. However, as soon as they were listed here, there were visitors from the East Palace hurriedly walking in outside the house, and they called out anxiously.
Zhuangyong quickly went out to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It turned out that the prince, in order to express his respect for Mr. Wang, got out of his car and drove there on foot. As a result, there were too many cars and horses on the street, and the guards of the East Palace who were accompanying him could not spread out at all. In order to ensure the prince's safety, they had no choice but to rush into the house.
Recruit people to come and assist.
Hearing the words of the visitor from the East Palace, Li Tai, who was standing in the queue, suddenly became happy and had a bad taste in his heart. This prince is really addicted to extravagance, and he is afraid that his presence is not high enough. If by chance he gets some white dragon fish clothes today
Maybe he and Wang Meng can solve the problem together.
He was secretly cursing here, but other people still attached great importance to the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, especially those members of the Yuan family. Regardless of whether they were brave or not, and how intimidating they were, they strode out to greet him one by one.
Li Tai slowly walked out of the Wang family's house with the others, and faintly heard a rather emotional cry among the various shouts to maintain order.
Not long after, Prince Yuan Qin, who was dressed in plain robes, walked toward the front door of the Wang family, accompanied by the royal family soldiers. As he walked, he wiped his tears and beat his chest. He looked very sad. Even
When Li Tai saw this scene, although he knew it was a deliberate act, he also felt that his nose was a little sore.
Everyone greeted the prince in front of the door, but the prince just turned a blind eye and staggered into the royal residence. He lowered his eyes and saw Wang Meng's grandson Wang Bi who was worshiping inside the door. He pulled him up and put him in his arms, with a tear in his nose.
Tears welled up together: "Mr. Xianyang, it's too late for me to be alone. Mr. Wang... Although you have no ancestors or father, you are not lonely. In the matter, you still have relatives and disciples who you can rely on to serve the country and the family.
Everyone needs to express their condolences!"
Li Tai stood aside and watched with cold eyes as the prince's nose burst into tears. The young man Wang Bi who was held tightly in his arms began to turn red, and he felt that the prince's act was a bit too much.
However, such pretense cannot be said to be completely ineffective. This young man, Wang Bi, is the son of Wang Li, the eldest son of Wang Meng. He is also the consort of the current dynasty and is married to the daughter of Emperor Yuan Baoju.
Yuwen Taijiu suppressed the Bafu for a long time and arranged all his relatives and children as generals of the imperial army to control the Chang'an court and the royal family. The Wang family belonged to this category. Naturally, the emperor tried his best to win over these generals of the imperial army who were in charge of the safety of their own property and life.
For example, the young man in front of him, Wang Bi, was certainly a relative of Daxingtai's uncle's family, but he was also the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty. In terms of pure kinship, of course the latter was closer. Seeing the prince weeping and mourning so hard, you might be moved in your heart and directly
Just follow my father-in-law and uncle to do it together.
Even if he can't be won over, the prince's behavior is full of eye candy. If it falls in Shiliu's eyes, it will inevitably give rise to many other thoughts. Even if these operations are not enough to reverse the general trend of the emperor's weak power, if they can give
The prince must be very happy for Yu Wentai to add trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that these two sons-in-law were not good guys. One watched his father-in-law being bullied and did not dare to help, while the other was willing to do anything as long as he could make his father-in-law uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Li Tai felt more and more that Dugu Xin was really discerning in choosing him as his son-in-law. No matter what he did, he was better than the two guys in front of him.
After entering the mourning hall to express condolences, the prince stopped crying, sat down in the big tent under the crowd, and started chatting with the guests in the tent.
Under the introduction of Yuan Jihai, Li Tai bravely stepped forward to pay his respects. When the prince saw him, he smiled and his attitude was quite kind: "Li Zheng, we meet again. This time there is no need to come and go in a hurry."
, please come and sit down at the table near me, and let me take a closer look at your reputation as a talented person from a well-known family!"
"People's words are inevitably exaggerated, ridiculous and untrue, and a humble minister is stupid. He is really unworthy of being ranked among the servants..."
When Li Tai heard this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he quickly raised his hands and said humbly.
"You don't need to be too humble in front of me, Mr. Li. Although we don't get along with each other, I know you well! At the auspicious ceremony in Huazhou City a few months ago, I saw with my own eyes how generous and generous the people were and praised me.
A true young talent. If it weren't for Li Zhizhang, you would still be involved in other people's affairs. At that time, you would have wanted to call him into the hall to meet and praise you."
However, the prince's interest in Li Tai was still undiminished, and he pointed to the empty seat next to him. When he saw Li Tai sit down at the table, he nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to the warm attention Li Tai received on the day of the wedding at home.
Describe a similar situation.
Many of the guests in the tent had gone to Huazhou for a wedding banquet, and they knew about the situation that day. However, seeing the prince's obvious attitude of expressing his admiration and affection for Li Tai, they couldn't help but agree with him.
Li Tai, who was at the center of the topic, really couldn't be happy. He was a little unsure of what kind of style this prince was into, and why he suddenly showed so much interest in him. Could he still remember his old grudge about losing face to him at the Grand Reading last year?
Is there an opportunity to instigate and win over this Taiwanese loyal man?
Lu Rou could see that Li Tai was restless and embarrassed, so she found an excuse to come forward and lead Li Tai out. Seeing him raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's hard to bear the kindness of others, right?
Not to mention you yourself, Apan, even our family in Beijing have been harassed a lot because of you during this time!"
Li Tai felt a little flustered when he heard this. He knew that Hong Luan Xing was moving during this period and was the top player in the blind date market. However, when he heard that Lu Rou confused the prince's enthusiasm for him with this, he subconsciously
Then he shook his head and said: "Cousin, you are joking. It's impossible. I don't dare to think about it..."
"Is there anything impossible? Ah Pan, you are looking down on yourself too much. Even a woman from the emperor's sect still needs a human partner. Looking at the past events, how can you be inferior to this kind of person, Ah Pan?"
Lu Rou raised her hand and patted Li Tai on the shoulder, feeling quite proud of him.
When Li Tai heard this, he also had a helpless look on his face. It was because I was not inferior in any way, so why should I join forces with them? Not to mention that he had already made a life-long agreement with Lady Miaoyin. Even if he hadn't, the prince-consort of the Western Wei Dynasty was really important to him.
Lack of allure!
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to continue this topic, and he didn't want to go back to the tent to bear the prince's frightening enthusiasm, so he simply pulled Lu Rou and left together.
The prince waited in the tent for a while but did not see Li Tai return. He frowned slightly. He first pushed away the nearby waiter, then called Feng Yi and Wang Yuan Jihai closer. He asked in a deep voice: "The Li family of Wang Gong is dear to you. How do you treat that person?"
How much does young Li Boshan know?"
After Yuan Jihai heard this, he shook his head and said: "We have very little communication with each other. Although Li Boshan is a junior of the wife family, his journey to the west was short and he lived in Huazhou for a long time, and stayed in Taifu for a long time..."
No valuable information was found from Yuan Jihaikou, so the prince frowned and said: "This Li Boshan is a good person and has made great achievements. I attended two weddings in Huazhou and saw that he is highly admired by the masses. Although he is still far away
He may not be called a good minister for the benefit of the country, but he has considerable qualifications and can be said to be a famous scholar worthy of long-term cultivation. It would be a pity for such a person to only live in the prefectures and counties of Taifu. I intend to recruit him from the East Palace to encourage him.
Chengcai, would you like to be a lobbyist for me?"
Yuan Jihai and Li Tai were not very familiar with each other, and he didn't really want to take on this task. However, seeing the expectant look in the prince's eyes, he couldn't refuse directly for a while, so he smiled and said: "What kind of favor does your highness have? It's just a piece of paper."
Everyone flocks to worship..."
"It's better not to have such arrogant thoughts. In the past years, I have been kind to a few people, but they all turned out to be stupid and difficult to support. This Li Boshan is much more impressive than the previous members. If you are willing to join my disciples, even if you are helpless, you can still bring glory to the palace.
