When Wang Junlin heard this, he couldn't help but look solemn. China is a country of etiquette. This is not something to say casually. The importance of etiquette has occupied a large space in the history of the feudal dynasty for thousands of years since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. Today,
Because Wang Tong had newly established the Marquis of Qin'an Mansion and was obviously well-intentioned towards him, Wang Junlin, he had the intention to enlighten him. But if it had been another person, he would have been unhappy because of a series of rude actions by the Marquis of Qin'an Mansion.
He even mistakenly thought that Wang Junlin meant to humiliate or look down upon him. From this point of view, what Wang Tong said was quite polite.
Following Wang Tong's behavior just now, Wang Junlin put his hands around his heart, hugged his chest, stepped in and bowed to Wang Tong, and said humbly: "Jun Lin was negligent. Thank you for reminding Mr. Wang."
As he spoke, Wang Junlin couldn't help but think that Zhan Peng was very capable in guarding and doing things, but it was obviously not suitable to be a housekeeper in a marquis mansion. Wu Si, another housekeeper in Gaotaicheng, was probably also incompetent in terms of etiquette.
.
"From this point of view, our Qin Anhou Mansion really has no foundation! We can't even find a housekeeper who understands etiquette."
Feeling secretly in his heart, Wang Junlin had reached out and invited Wang Tong to his house warmly. Wang Junlin had always been a grateful person and since Wang Tong was full of great kindness to him, he would reciprocate even greater kindness.
As for Wang Tong having other purposes in mind, so what? Anyone who does anything actually has a purpose, but some people have clear ideas and clear purposes. Others are confused and act according to their ideas.
When they came to the living room, the two of them were seated separately. Wang Junlin ordered people to prepare tea, fruits, and snacks for the guests. The two casually chatted a few more about etiquette taboos. Wang Tong suddenly said: "Junlin,
The officialdom is not as good as the battlefield. You can see clearly who is strong and who is weak by raising your hand. Things in the aristocratic family are more complicated than in the officialdom. If you accidentally do something wrong, you will fall into a place of eternal disaster."
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, his relationship with Wang Tong had not reached such a level of heart-to-heart talk. These words were quite appropriate for Chang Sun Sheng to say. But then Wang Junlin sat upright and raised his fists to
Wang Tong saluted and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your advice!"
Although there are still many things he doesn't understand about etiquette, Wang Junlin does a good job in dealing with others. And he also knows that Wang Tong's words must be alluding to Yang Xiong being poisoned in the prison.
Death matter.
The respect shown by Wang Junlin made Wang Tong feel quite comfortable, but then he remembered something and sighed again, saying: "Looking at your expression, I think you must have thought about Yang Xiong's death in Jingzhao Yin Prison."
I already know that, if I am not wrong, in a few days His Majesty will give an explanation to Yang Su and will issue an order to terminate my official position in Jing Zhaoyin. At that time, I will probably be sent to another state to be the governor. In the future, you and I will
There are not many opportunities to meet you. The main reason I came to see you today is to remind you that with Yang Su's personality, this matter will never be settled. In the past, he would probably use official methods to deal with you, but now I'm afraid it will be different."
Wang Tong never said that Yang Xiong was killed by Wang Junlin, so Wang Junlin couldn't explain it. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "The capital is in good order and becomes more prosperous under the care of Mr. Wang. Your Majesty sees it, so
Mr. Wang must not be discouraged, maybe Mr. Wang will not be blamed for Yang Xiong's incident."
When Wang Tong heard this, he was slightly startled, looked at Wang Junlin's deep eyes, was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said self-deprecatingly: "Maybe!"
After saying these three words, Wang Tong seemed not to want to get involved in the matter anymore. He pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Did you know that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the political affairs of the past dynasties have been controlled by some aristocratic families. They have no roots and no basis.
It is always extremely difficult for people to get ahead? But you are the only person who was granted a title after the founding of the country who was not from a noble family."
"Of course this junior knows..." Wang Junlin said with some emotion.
Wang Tong seemed to have prepared a lot of things to say to Wang Junlin, and Zi Gu continued: "A true son of a noble family is born with a seal. If he joins the army, he should at least start from the rank of Captain Guoyi of the sixth rank."
Wang Junlin thought of Pei Yuanqing, who became Captain Guoyi as soon as he joined the army.
"Of course, the aristocratic families I am talking about refer to real wealthy families. They refer to those families in which someone has been a top official and has disciples who have lived in the past. There are no more than nineteen such wealthy families in the world, including us.
The Wang family of Hedong. Everyone in the world is proud to associate with wealthy families like ours, and these families often collude with each other and dominate the government. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties have known that having a family in power is not a blessing to the country, but all dynasties have
Even the emperor can’t solve it.”
"So, in this dynasty, His Majesty wanted to establish an imperial examination, and all people, regardless of high or low, could pass the examination and be appointed officials, just to break this tradition. However, as soon as this move was proposed, it was fiercely opposed by all the powerful families, even His Majesty
He was also forced to temporarily shelve this law. It was only after this incident that His Majesty began to consciously attack and weaken the power of the aristocratic families in the court. However, for several years, little effect has been achieved, and the aristocratic family is still in power."
"And those who are elected as officials are either the sons of this family or the nephews of that family. There is no shortage of talents in the aristocratic families, but there are more mediocre and dandy children. These guys are not good at governing the place, but they can cause harm to the people.
There are only two of them, but the imperial court and even His Majesty can't do anything to them, because if they are touched, the whole body will be affected." Wang Tong shook his head. Although he also came from a noble family, the Wang family is a real Confucian master who pays attention to self-cultivation.
To regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world, I am very dissatisfied with the current situation and want to change it, but if I cannot reach a certain position as an official, I cannot do anything.
"Master Wang is saying that carnivores are incapable of making far-sighted plans, right?" Wang Junlin, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but sigh slightly and interjected.
"It's not that carnivores are incapable of long-term planning, but that the wealthy and aristocratic families put all their thoughts on how to benefit the family. They don't care about the people and the country at all, and they don't pay attention to morality in their actions. As long as a weak person accidentally offends them, usually
All ended up being shattered to pieces!" Wang Tong shook his head with a sneer on his face.
"So, your appearance, or in other words, your Majesty's use of you as a sharp sword to weaken the wealthy and aristocratic families, although you are on the opposite side of the wealthy and aristocratic families, you have invisibly gained the support of those of us who are determined to do things. In short,
Don’t think too much about the goodwill that I, Pei Shiju and others have towards you." Wang Tong thought for a while and made a final summary, which can be regarded as the true meaning of what he wanted to express when he came to see Wang Junlin today.
